Transfer Functions
For the unipolar range the designed code transitions occur mid-
way between successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB,
3/2 LSBs, 5/2 LSBs . . . FS –3/2 LSBs). The output coding is
straight binary for the unipolar range with 1 LSB = FS/4096 =
3.3 V/4096 = 0.8 mV when VREF = 3.3 V. Figure 12 shows the
unipolar analog input configuration. The ideal input/output
transfer characteristic for the unipolar range is shown in
Figure 14.

REF/2 bipolar ana-
log input configuration. AIN(+) cannot go below 0 ,V so for
the full bipolar range, AIN(–) should be biased to at least
+VREF/2. Once again the designed code transitions occur mid-
way between successive integer LSB values. The output coding
is 2s complement with 1 LSB = 4096 = 3.3 V/4096 = 0.8 mV.
The ideal input/output transfer characteristic is shown in Fig-

Input Ranges
The analog input range for the AD7859/AD7859L is 0 V to
VREF in both the unipolar and bipolar ranges.
The difference between the unipolar range and the bipolar range
is that in the bipolar range the AIN(–) should be biased up to at
least +VREF/2 and the output coding is 2s complement (See
Table VI and Figures 14 and 15).

NOTES

2Range is

REF/2 biased about VREF/2. Output code format is 2s complement.
Note that the AIN(–) channel on the AD7859/AD7859L can be
biased up above AGND in the unipolar mode, or above VREF/2
in bipolar mode if required. The advantage of biasing the lower
end of the analog input range away from AGND is that the ana-
log input does not have to swing all the way down to AGND.
Thus, in single supply applications the input amplifier does not
have to swing all the way down to AGND. The upper end of the
analog input range is shifted up by the same amount. Care must
be taken so that the bias applied does not shift the upper end of
the analog input above the AVDD supply. In the case where the
reference is the supply, AVDD, the AIN(–) should be tied to
AGND in unipolar mode or to AVDD/2 in bipolar mode.
