This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADS8528/48/68 series includes eight 12-, 14-, and 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), respectively,
that operate based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. This architecture is designed on
the charge redistribution principle, which inherently includes a sample-and-hold function. The eight analog inputs
are grouped into four channel pairs. These channel pairs can be sampled and converted simultaneously,
preserving the relative phase information of the signals of each pair. Separate conversion start signals allow
simultaneous sampling on each channel pair of four, six, or eight channels. These devices accept single-ended,
bipolar analog input signals in the selectable ranges of ±4VREF or ±2VREF with an absolute value of up to
±12V; see the Analog Inputs section.
The devices offer an internal 2.5V or 3V reference source followed by a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
that allows the reference voltage VREF to be adjusted in 2.44mV or 2.93mV steps, respectively.
The ADS8528/48/68 also offer a selectable parallel or serial interface that can be used in hardware or software
mode; see the Device Configuration section for details. The Analog and Digital sections describe the functionality
and control of the device in detail.
ANALOG
This section addresses the analog input circuit, the ADCs and control signals, and the reference design of the
device.
Analog Inputs
The inputs and the converters are of single-ended bipolar type. The absolute voltage range can be selected
using the RANGE pin (in hardware mode) or RANGE_x bits (in software mode) in the Configuration (CONFIG)
Register to either ±4VREF or ±2VREF. With the internal reference set to 2.5V (VREF bit C13 = 0 in the CONFIG
Register), the input voltage range can be ±10V or ±5V. With the internal reference source set to 3V (CONFIG bit
C13 = 1), an input voltage range of ±12V or ±6V can be configured. The logic state of the RANGE pin is latched
with the falling edge of BUSY (if CONFIG bit C26 = 0).
The input current on the analog inputs depends on the actual sample rate, input voltage, and signal source
impedance. Essentially, the current into the analog inputs charges the internal capacitor array only during the
sampling period (tACQ). The source of the analog input voltage must be able to charge the input capacitance of
10pF in ±4VREF mode or of 20pF in ±2VREF mode to a 12-, 14-, or 16-bit accuracy level within the acquisition
time; see Figure 4. During the conversion period, there is no further input current flow and the input impedance is
greater than 1MΩ. To ensure a defined start condition, the sampling capacitors of the ADS8528/48/68 are
pre-charged to a fixed internal voltage before switching into sampling mode.
To maintain the linearity of the converter, the inputs should always remain within the specified range shown in
the Electrical Characteristics table. The minimum 3dB bandwidth of the driving operational amplifier can be
calculated using Equation 1:
(1)
where:
n = 12, 14, or 16; nis the resolution of the ADS8528/48/68
With a minimum acquisition time of tACQ = 280ns, the required minimum bandwidth of the driving amplifier is
5.2MHz for the ADS8528, 6.0MHz for the ADS8548, or 6.7MHz for the ADS8568. The required bandwidth can be
lower if the application allows a longer acquisition time. A gain error occurs if a given application does not fulfill
the bandwidth requirement shown in Equation 1.

A driving operational amplifier may not be required, if the impedance of the signal source (RSOURCE) fulfills the
requirement of Equation 2:
(2)
where:
n = 12, 14, or 16; nis the resolution of the ADC,
CS= 10pF is the sample capacitor value in VIN =±4VREF mode,
RSER = 200Ωis the input resistor value,
and RSW = 130Ωis the switch resistance value.
With a minimum acquisition time of tACQ = 280ns, the maximum source impedance should be less than 2.7kΩfor
the ADS8528, 2.3kΩfor the ADS8548, and 2.0kΩfor the ADS8568 in ±4VREF mode, or less than 1.2kΩfor the
ADS8528, 1.0kΩfor the ADS8548, and 0.8kΩfor the ADS8568 in ±2VREF mode. The source impedance can be
higher if the application allows longer acquisition time.
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
The device includes eight ADCs that operate with either an internal or an external conversion clock.
Conversion Clock
The device uses either an internally-generated (CCLK) or an external (XCLK) conversion clock signal (in
software mode only). In default mode, the device generates an internal clock. In this case, a complete conversion
including the pre-charging of the sample capacitors takes 19 to 20 clock cycles, depending on the setup time of
the incoming CONVST_x signal with relation to the rising edge of the CCLK.
When CLKSEL bit is set high (CONFIG bit C29), an external conversion clock can be applied on pin 34. A
complete conversion process requires 19 clock cycles in this case if the tSCVX timing requirement is fulfilled. The
external clock can remain low between conversions.
If the application requires lowest power dissipation at low data rates, it is recommended to use the auto-sleep
mode, activated using pin 36 (ASLEEP). In this case, a conversion cycle takes up to 26 clock cycles (see the
Reset and Power-Down Modes section for more details).

CONVST_x
The analog inputs of each channel pair (CH_x0/1) are held with the rising edge of the corresponding CONVST_x
signal. The conversion automatically starts with the next rising edge of the conversion clock. CONVST_A is a
master conversion start that resets the internal state machine and causes the data output to start with the result
of channel A0. In cases where channel pairs of the device are used at different data rates, CONVST_A should
always be the one used at the highest frequency.
A conversion start must not be issued during an ongoing conversion on the corresponding channel pair. It is
allowed to initiate conversions on the other input pairs, however.
If a parallel interface is used, the content of the output port depends on which CONVST_x signals have been
issued. Figure 36 shows examples of different scenarios with all channel pairs active.

BUSY/INT
The BUSY signal indicates if a conversion is in progress. It goes high with a rising edge of any CONVST_x
signal and goes low when the output data of the last channel pair are available in the respective output register.
The readout of the data can be initiated immediately after the falling edge of BUSY.
In contrary, the INT signal goes high when a new conversion result has been loaded in the output register (this is
when the conversion has been completed) and remains high until the next read access, as shown in Figure 37.
The polarity of the BUSY/INT signal can be changed using CONFIG bit C26. The mode of pin 35 can be
controlled using CONFIG bit C27.
Figure 37. BUSY versus INT Behavior of Pin 35
Reference
The ADS8528/48/68 provides an internal, low-drift, 2.5V reference source. To increase the input voltage range,
the reference voltage can be switched to 3V mode using the VREF bit (CONFIG bit C13). The reference feeds a
10-bit string-DAC controlled by bits REFDAC[9:0] in the Configuration (CONFIG) Register. The buffered DAC
output is connected to the REFIO pin. In this way, the voltage at this pin is programmable in 2.44mV (2.92mV in
3V mode) steps and adjustable to the applications needs without additional external components. The actual
output voltage can be calculated using Equation 3:
(3)
where:
Range = the chosen maximum reference voltage output range (2.5V or 3V),
Code = the decimal value of the DAC register content.
Table 4 lists some examples of internal reference DAC settings with a reference range set to 2.5V. However, to
ensure proper performance, the DAC output voltage should not be programmed below 0.5V.
The buffered output of the DAC should be decoupled with a 100nF capacitor (minimum); for best performance, a
470nF capacitor is recommended. If the internal reference is placed into power-down (default), an external
reference voltage can drive the REFIO pin.

The voltage at the REFIO pin is buffered with four internal amplifiers, one for each ADC pair. The output of each
buffer must be decoupled with a 10µF capacitor between the pin pairs 3 and 6, 43 and 46, 50 and 53, and 60
and 63. The 10µF capacitors are available as ceramic 0805-SMD components and in X5R quality.
The internal reference buffers can be powered down to decrease the power dissipation of the device. In this
case, external reference drivers can be connected to the REFAP, REFBP, REFCP, and REFDP pins. With 10µF
decoupling capacitors, the minimum required bandwidth can be calculated using Equation 4:
(4)
With the minimum tCONV of 1.33µs, the external reference buffers require a minimum bandwidth of 83kHz.
DIGITAL
This section describes the digital control and the timing of the device in detail.
Device Configuration
Depending on the desired mode of operation, the ADS8528/48/68 can be configured using the external pins
and/or the Configuration Register (CONFIG), as shown in Table 5.
Table 5. ADS8528/48/68 Configuration Settings

and C[9:0] (if C29 = C28 = 0)
Hardware Mode
With the HW/SW input (pin 41) set low, the device functions are controlled via the pins and, optionally,
Configuration Register bits C30, C29, C[27:26], C22, C20, C18, C14 (in parallel interface mode only), C13, and
C[9:0].
It is possible to generally use the part in hardware mode but to switch it into software mode to initialize or adjust
the Configuration Register settings (for example, the internal reference DAC) and back to hardware mode
thereafter.
Software Mode
When the HW/SW input is set high, the device operates in software mode with functionality set only by the
Configuration Register bits (corresponding pin settings are ignored).
If parallel interface is used, an update of all Configuration Register settings is performed by issuing two 16-bit
write accesses on pins DB[15:0] (to avoid loosing data, the entire sequence must be finished before starting a
new conversion). CS should be held low during these two accesses. To enable the actual update of the register
settings, the first bit (C31) must be set to '1' during the access.

If the serial interface is used, the update of the register contents can be performed continuously (combined
read/write access). Optionally, to reduce the data transfer on the SDI line and the electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of the system, the SDI input can be pulled low when a register update is not required. Figure 38 illustrates
the different Configuration Register update options.

The Configuration Register settings can only be changed in software mode and are not affected when switching
to hardware mode thereafter. The register values are independent from input pin settings. Changes are active
with the second rising edge of WR in parallel interface mode or with the 32nd SCLK falling edge of the access in
which the register content has been updated in serial mode. The CONFIG content is defined in Table 6.

Parallel Interface
To use the device with the parallel interface, the PAR/SER pin should be held low. The maximum achievable
data throughput rate is 650kSPS for the ADS8528, 600kSPS for the ADS8548, and 510kSPS for the ADS8568 in
this case.
Access to the ADS8528/48/68 is controlled as illustrated in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
Serial Interface
The serial interface mode is selected by setting the PAR/SER pin high. In this case, each data transfer starts with
the falling edge of the frame synchronization input (FS). The conversion results are presented on the serial data
output pins SDO_A (always active), SDO_B, SDO_C, and SDO_D, depending on the selections made using the
SEL_xx pins. Starting with the most significant bit (MSB), the output data are changed with the falling edge of
SCLK. Output data of the ADS8528 and ADS8548 maintain the LSB-aligned 16-bit format with leading bits
containing the extended sign (see also Table 7). Serial data input SDI are latched with the falling edge of SCLK.
The serial interface can be used with one, two, or four output ports. Port SDO_B can be enabled using pin 27
(SEL_B) while ports SDO_C and SDO_D are enabled using pin 28 (SEL_CD). If all four serial data output ports
are selected, the data can be read with either two 16-bit data transfers or with a single 32-bit data transfer. The
data of channels CH_x0 are available first, followed by data from channels CH_x1. The maximum achievable
data throughput rate is 480kSPS for the ADS8528, 450kSPS for the ADS8548, and 400kSPS for the ADS8568 in
this case.
If the application allows a data transfer using two ports only, the SDO_A and SDO_B outputs are used. The
device outputs data from channel CH_A0 followed by CH_A1, CH_C0, and CH_C1 on SDO_A, while data from
channel CH_B0 followed by CH_B1, CH_D0, and CH_D1 occur on SDO_B. In this case, a data transfer of four
16-bit words, two 32-bit words, or one continuous 64-bit word is supported. The maximum achievable data
throughput rate is 360kSPS for the ADS8528, 345kSPS for the ADS8548, and 315kSPS for the ADS8568 in this
case.
The output SDO_A is always active and exclusively used if only one serial data port is used in the application.
The data are available in the following order: CH_A0, CH_A1, CH_B0, CH_B1, CH_C0, CH_C1, CH_D0, and
CH_D1. Data can be read using eight 16-bit transfers, four 32-bit transfers, two 64-bit transfers, or a single
128-bit transfer. The maximum achievable data throughput rate is 235kSPS for the ADS8528, 230kSPS for the
ADS8548 and 215kSPS for the ADS8568 in this case. Figure 1 and Figure 39 show all possible scenarios in
more detail.

Daisy-Chain Mode
The serial interface of the ADS8528/48/68 supports a daisy-chain feature that allows cascading of multiple
devices to minimize the board space requirements and simplify routing of the data and control lines. In this case,
pins DB3/DCIN_A, DB2/DCIN_B, DB1/DCIN_C, and DB0/DCIN_D are used as serial data inputs for channels A,
B, C, and D, respectively. Figure 40 shows an example of a daisy-chain connection of three devices sharing a
common CONVST line to allow simultaneous sampling of 24 analog channels along with the corresponding
timing diagram.
To activate the daisy-chain mode, the DCEN pin must be pulled high. However, the DCEN of the first device in
the chain must remain low.
In applications in which not all channel pairs are used, it is recommended to declare the part with disabled
channel pair(s) to be the first in the daisy-chain.

Output Data Format
The data output format of the ADS8528/48/68 is binary twos complement, as shown in Table 7. For the
ADS8528/48 (which deliver 12-bit or 14-bit conversion results, respectively), the leading bits of either the 16-bit
frame (serial interface) or the output pins (DB[15:12] for the ADS8528 or DB[15:14] for the ADS8548 in parallel
mode) deliver a sign extension.

Reset and Power-Down Modes
The device supports two reset mechanisms: a power-on reset (POR) and a pin-controlled reset (RESET) that
can be issued using pin 10. Both, the POR and RESET act as a master reset that causes any ongoing
conversion to be interrupted, the Configuration Register content to be set to the default value, and all channels to
be switched into the sample mode.
When the device is powered up, the POR sets the device in default mode when AVDD reaches 1.2V. In normal
operation, glitches on the AVDD supply below this threshold trigger a device reset.
The entire device, except for the digital interface, can be powered down by pulling the STBY pin low (pin 9). As
the digital interface section remains active, data can be retrieved while in stand-by mode. To power the part on
again, the STBY pin must be brought high. The device is ready to start a new conversion after the 10ms required
to activate and settle the internal circuitry. This user-controlled approach can be used in applications that require
lower data throughput rates at lowest power dissipation. The content of CONFIG is not changed during stand-by
mode and it is not required to perform a reset after returning to normal operation.

While the standby mode impacts the entire device, each device channel pair (except channel pair A, which as
the master channel pair, is always active) can also be individually switched off by setting the Configuration
Register bits C22, C20, and C18 (PD_x). If a certain channel pair is powered-down in this manner, the output
register is disabled as shown in Figure 41. When reactivated, the relevant channel pair requires 10ms to fully
settle before starting a new conversion.
(1) Channel pair C disabled (PD_C = 1), CS = 0.
NOTE: Boxed areas indicate the minimum required frame to acquire all new conversion results. The read access might be interrupted,
thereafter.

The auto-sleep mode is enabled by pulling pin 36 (ASLEEP) high. If the auto-sleep mode is enabled, the
ADS8528/48/68 automatically reduce the current requirement to 7mA (IAVDD) after finishing a conversion; thus,
the end of conversion actually activates this power-down mode. Triggering a new conversion by applying a
positive CONVST_x edge puts the device back into normal operation, starts the acquisition of the analog input,
and automatically starts a new conversion 6 to 7 conversion clock cycles later, as shown in Figure 42. Therefore,
a complete conversion process takes 25 to 26 conversion clock cycles; thus, the maximum throughput rate in
auto-sleep mode is reduced to a maximum of 400kSPS for the ADS8528, 375kSPS for the ADS8548, and
330kSPS for the ADS8568 in serial interface mode. In parallel mode, the maximum data rates are 510kSPS for
the ADS8528, 470kSPS for the ADS8548 and 400kSPS for the ADS8568. If enabled, the internal reference
remains active during auto-sleep mode. Table 8 compares the analog current requirements of the device in
different modes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
TYPICAL APPLICATION EXAMPLE
An example of a typical application of the ADS8528/48/68 is illustrated in Figure 43. In this case, the device is
used to simultaneously sample and convert the voltages and currents on three phases and the neutral line. In
this example, the BUSY signal is not used by the controller while the SW generates the required signals in timely
manner. TIsOPA2211 is used as an input driver, supporting bandwidth that allows running the device at the
maximum data rate. However, because relatively low data rates are generally used in this type of applications,
the auto-sleep mode is activated in this example (ASLEEP is high) to minimize the current demand on the AVDD
and HVDD/HVSS power supplies. Further, the input drivers may not be necessary if the signal source fulfills the
requirements as defined by Equation 2. For example, at 10kSPS, the external drivers are not necessary if the
source impedance remains below 830kΩin ±4VREF mode or 415kΩin ±2VREF mode.
While the actual values of the resistors and capacitors depend on the bandwidth and performance requirements
of the application, for a data rate of 10kSPS, it is recommended to use a filter capacitor CFvalue of 1nF and a
series resistor RFof 10kΩ.
In applications supporting only single supply (for example, 5V), it is recommended to use the TPS65130 to
generate the bipolar supplies required by the ADC.
GROUNDING
All ground pins should be connected to a clean ground reference. This connection should be kept as short as
possible to minimize the inductance of these paths. It is recommended to use vias connecting the pads directly to
the corresponding ground plane. In designs without ground planes, the ground trace should be kept as wide and
as short as possible to reduce inductance. Avoid connections that are too close to the grounding point of a
microcontroller or digital signal processor.
Depending on the circuit density on the board, placement of the analog and digital components, and the related
current loops, a single solid ground plane for the entire printed circuit board (PCB) or dedicated analog and
digital ground areas may be used. In case of separated ground areas, ensure a low-impedance connection
between the analog and digital ground of the ADC by placing a bridge underneath (or next to) the ADC.
Otherwise, even short undershoots on the digital interface with a value of lower than 300mV lead to the
conduction of ESD diodes, causing current to flow through the substrate and either degrading the analog
performance or even damaging the part. It is recommended to use a common ground plane underneath the
device as a local ground reference for all xGND pins; see Figure 44. During PCB layout, care should be taken to
avoid any return currents crossing sensitive analog areas or signals.

POWER SUPPLY
The ADS8528/48/68 require four separate supplies: an analog supply for the ADC (AVDD), the buffer I/O supply
for the digital interface (DVDD), and the high-voltage supplies driving the analog input circuitry (HVDD and
HVSS). Generally, there are no specific requirements with regard to the power sequencing of the device.
However, when HVDD is supplied before AVDD, the internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) structure conducts,
increasing the IHVDD beyond the specified value, until the AVDD is applied.
The AVDD supply provides power to the internal circuitry of the ADC. If run at maximum data rate, the IAVDD is
too high to allow use of a passive filter between the digital board supply of the application and the AVDD pins. A
linear regulator is recommended to generate the analog supply voltage. Each AVDD pin should be decoupled to
AGND with a 100nF ceramic capacitor. In addition, a single 10µF capacitor should be placed close to the device
but without compromising the placement of the smaller capacitors. Optionally, each supply pin can be decoupled
using a 1µF ceramic capacitor without the requirement for the additional 10µF capacitor.
The DVDD supply is only used to drive the digital I/O buffers and allows seamless interface with most
state-of-the-art processors and controllers. As a result of the low IDVDD value, a 10Ωseries resistor can be used
on the DVDD pin to reduce the noise energy from the external digital circuitry influencing the performance of the
device. A bypass ceramic capacitor of 1µF (or alternatively, a pair of 100nF and 10µF capacitors) should be
placed between pins 24 and 25.
The high-voltage supplies (HVSS and HVDD) are connected to the analog inputs. These supplies are not
required to be of symmetrical nature with regard to AGND. Noise and glitches on these supplies directly couple
into the input signals. Place a 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor, located as close to the device as possible,
between each of pins 1, 48, and AGND. An additional 10µF capacitor is used that should be placed close to the
device but without compromising the placement of the smaller capacitors.
Figure 44 shows a layout recommendation for the ADS8528/48/68 along with the proper decoupling and
reference capacitors placement and connections. The layout recommendation takes into account the actual size
of the components used.

and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
