Figure 25 shows the differential configuration during the
acquisition phase. For the conversion phase, SW3 opens and
SW1 and SW2 move to Position B (see Figure 26). The output
impedances of the source driving the V
IN
+ and V
IN
− pins must
match; otherwise, the two inputs have different settling times,
resulting in errors.

Output Coding
The AD7327 default output coding is set to twos complement.
The output coding is controlled by the coding bit in the control
register. To change the output coding to straight binary coding,
the coding bit in the control register must be set. When operating
in sequence mode, the output coding for each channel in the
sequence is the value written to the coding bit during the last
write to the control register.
Transfer Functions
The designed code transitions occur at successive integer
LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). The LSB size
is dependent on the analog input range selected.
Table 7. LSB Sizes for Each Analog Input Range

The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7327 when twos
complement coding is selected is shown in Figure 27. The ideal
transfer characteristic for the AD7327 when straight binary
coding is selected is shown in Figure 28.

ANALOG INPUT STRUCTURE
The analog inputs of the AD7327 can be configured as single-
ended, true differential, or pseudo differential via the control
register mode bits (see Table 9). The AD7327 can accept true
bipolar input signals. On power-up, the analog inputs operate as
eight single-ended analog input channels. If true differential or
pseudo differential is required, a write to the control register is
necessary after power-up to change this configuration.
Figure 29 shows the equivalent analog input circuit of the
AD7327 in single-ended mode. Figure 30 shows the equivalent
analog input structure in differential mode. The two diodes
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs.
