General Description
The MX7672 is a 12-bit, high-speed, BiCMOS, analog-to-
digital converter (ADC) that performs conversions in as
little as 3µs while consuming only 110mW of power. The
MX7672 is a plug-in replacement for AD7672.
The MX7672 requires an external -5V reference. A buff-
ered reference input minimizes reference current require-
ments and allows a single reference to drive several
ADCs. External reference specifications can be chosen
to suit the accuracy of the application. The ADC clock can
be driven from either a crystal or an external clock source,
such as a microprocessor (µP) clock.
Average input range is pin-selectable for 0 to +5V, 0 to
+10V, or ±5V, making the ADC ideal for data-acquisition
and analog input/output cards. A high-speed digital inter-
face (125ns data-access time) with three-state data out-
puts is compatible with most µPs.

Pin Description
Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MX7672 uses a successive approximation technique
to convert an analog input to a 12-bit digital output code.
The control logic provides easy interface to most µPs
(Figure 3).
Figure 4 shows the MX7672 analog-equivalent circuit. The
internal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is controlled by
a successive approximation register (SAR), has an output
impedance of 2.5kΩ, and connects directly to the com-
parator input. The analog inputs AIN1 and AIN2 connect to
the same comparator input through 5kΩ resistors.
A conversion starts at the falling edge of CS and RD and
cannot be restarted after initiation. The BUSY output goes
low when the conversion starts and can be used to control
an external sample-and-hold when measuring wide band-
width input signals.
The SAR is set, asynchronously with the clock input, to
half scale when CS and RD go low. At the second falling
edge of CLKIN (or rising edge of CLKOUT) following a
conversion start, the output of the comparator is latched
into the SAR most significant bit (MSB/D11) (Figure 5).
The MSB is kept if the analog input is greater than half
scale or dropped if it is smaller. The next bit (D10) is then
set with the DAC output either at 1/4 scale (if the MSB
was dropped) or 3/4 scale (if the MSB was kept). The
conversion continues in this manner until the LSB is tried.
At conversion end, following a falling CLKIN signal, BUSY
goes high, and the SAR result is latched into three-state
output buffers.
Clock
Internal Clock Oscillator
Figure 6 shows the MX7672 clock circuitry. Minimize the
capacitive load on the CLKOUT pin for low power dissi-
pation and to avoid digital coupling of the CLKOUT buffer
current to the comparator. CLKOUT should be left open if
an external clock source is used to drive CLKIN. Connect
a crystal/ceramic resonator between CLKOUT and CLKIN
if the internal oscillator is used.
Control Inputs Synchronization
When RD is not synchronized with the ADC clock, the
conversion time can vary from 12 to 13 clock cycles. The
SAR changes state on the falling edge of the CLKIN input
(or rising edge on the CLKOUT pin). Use the following
guidelines to ensure a fixed conversion time: The MX7672
RD input should go low at the rising edge of CLKIN. In
this case, the conversion lasts 12.5 clock cycles, and

the conversion time is 3.125µs when fCLK = 4MHz, 5µs
when fCLK = 2.5MHz, and 10µs when fCLK = 1.25MHz.
The delay from the falling edge of RD to the falling edge
of CLKIN must not be less than 100ns to ensure the 12.5
clock cycle conversion time (Figure 7). This gives the
external sample-and-hold 1.5 clock cycles to settle from
hold transients. An additional 1/2 clock cycle of settling
can be allowed for the sample- and-hold by having RD go
low at the falling edge of CLKIN. This results in a 13-cycle
conversion time (3.25µs, 5.2µs, and 10.4µs).
Digital Interface
Timing and Control
CS and RD control conversion start and data-read opera-
tions. Figure 8 shows the logic equivalent for the con-
version and the data-output control circuitry. A logic-low
at both inputs starts a conversion. Once a conversion
is in progress, it cannot be restarted. The BUSY output
remains low during the entire conversion cycle.
Figures 9 and 10 outline the two interface modes (slow
memory and ROM). Slow-memory mode is for µPs that
can be forced into a wait state for periods as long as the
MX7672 conversion time. ROM mode is for µPs that can-
not be forced into a wait state. In both interface modes, a
processor read operation to the ADC address starts the
conversion. In the ROM mode, a second read operation
accesses the conversion result.
Slow-Memory Mode
The timing diagram in Figure 9 illustrates slow-memory
mode, which is designed for µPs with a wait state. CS
and RD go low, triggering a conversion, and are kept low
until the conversion is complete. BUSY responds by going
low, and data from the previous conversion remains on
the three-state data outputs. At conversion end, BUSY
returns high, and the output latches transfer the new
conversion results to the three-state data outputs. The µP
completes the read operation by taking CS and RD high.
ROM Mode
The ROM mode avoids placing the µP into a wait state.
A conversion begins with a read operation. While CS and
RD are low, data from the last conversion is available on
the data outputs. A second read operation reads the new
data and begins the conversion process again. A delay
at least as long as the MX7672 conversion time must be
allowed between read operations. The data on the output
bus is in a parallel format in either mode.
Application Hints
Digital Bus Noise
If the data bus connected to the ADC is active during a
conversion, coupling from the data pins to the ADC com-
parator may cause LSBs of error. Using slow-memory
mode avoids this problem by placing the µP into a wait
state during the conversion. In ROM mode, if the data bus
is active during the conversion, use three-state drivers to
isolate the bus from the ADC.

7
ROM Mode
Digital noise is generated in the ADC when RD or CS
go high, and the output data drivers are disabled after a
conversion is started. This noise will feed into the ADC
comparator and cause large errors if it coincides with the
time the SAR is latching a bit decision. To avoid this prob-
lem, RD and CS should be active for less than one clock
cycle. In other words, the RD and CS low pulse should
be less than 250ns for the MX7672_ _03, 400ns for the
MX7672_ _05, and 1µs for the MX7672_ _10. If this can-
not be done, the RD or CS signal must go high at a rising
edge of CLKIN, since the comparator output is always
latched at falling edges of CLKIN.
Physical Layout
For the best system performance, PCBs should be used
for the MX7672; wire-wrap boards are not recommended.
Separate the digital-analog-signal lines as much as pos-
sible in the board layout. Do not run analog and digital
lines parallel to each other or digital lines underneath the
MX7672 package.
Grounding
Figure 11 shows the recommended system ground con-
nections. Establish a single-point analog ground (star
ground), separate from the logic ground, at AGND of the
MX7672. Connect all other analog grounds and DGND of
the MX7672 to this star ground (no other digital grounds
should be connected to this point). For noise-free opera-
tion of the ADC, use a low-impedance ground return to the
power supply from this star ground.
Power-Supply Bypassing
The ADC’s high-speed comparator is sensitive to high-
frequency noise in the VDD and VSS power supplies.
These supplies should be bypassed to the analog star
ground with 0.1µF and 10µF bypass capacitors with
minimum lead length for supply noise rejection. If the +5V
power supply is very noisy, a small (10Ω to 20Ω) resistor
can be connected (Figure 11) to filter external noise.
Driving the Analog Input
The input signal leads to AIN and the input return leads to
AGND should be as short as possible to minimize input noise
coupling. Use shielded cables if the leads must be long.
The input impedance at each AIN is typically 5kΩ. The
amplifier driving AIN must have low enough DC output
impedance for low gain error. Furthermore, low AC output
impedance is needed since the analog input current is
modulated at the clock rate during a conversion (up to
4MHz for MX7672_ _03, 2.5MHz for MX7672_ _05, or
1.25MHz for the MX7672_ _10). The output impedance of
the driving amplifier is equal to its open-loop output imped-
ance divided by the loop gain at the frequency of interest.
MX7672_ _05/10 - The MX7672_ _05/10 maximum clock
rate of 2.5MHz makes it possible to drive AIN with ampli-
fiers like the OP42, AD711 or a Maxim OP27. A MAX400
or a Maxim OP07 can also be used up to 1.25MHz clock
rate.
MX7672_ _03 - The MX7672_ _03, with a maximum 4MHz
clock rate, might exhibit settling problems with the above
amplifiers. An LF356, LF400, or LT1056 can be used to
drive the input. Alternatively, an emitter follower buffer
inside the feedback loop of a Maxim OP27, an OP42, or
an AD711 improves high-frequency output impedance.
Reference Input
VREF connects to an external -5V source. This may be
either a precision negative reference, a positive reference
(such as the MX584) connected as a two-terminal device
to provide -5V (Figure 16), or an existing system reference.
The allowed input range at REFIN is -5.1V to -4.9V. VREF
(and AIN2 in bipolar input operation) should be bypassed
to ground with a 10µF electrolytic capacitor in parallel with
a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
If the external reference is biased from a power supply
other than VSS, care must be taken to ensure that VSS
is applied to the ADC before VREF. If supply sequencing
is uncertain, connect a diode between VSS and VREF, as
shown in Flgure 12. No diode is needed if the reference
source is powered from the same supply as VSS.
MX7672 to Sample-and-Hold Interface
The analog input to the ADC must be stable to within
1/2 LSB during the entire conversion for specified 12-bit
accuracy. This limits the input-signal bandwidth to less
than 6Hz for sinusoidal inputs, even when using the faster
MX7672_ _03. A sample-and-hold should be used for
higher bandwidth signals.
The BUSY output from the MX7672 may be used to
provide the TRACK/HOLD signal to the sample -and-hold
amplifier. However, since the ADC’s DAC is switched at
approximately the same time as the BUSY signal goes
low, sample-and-hold transients caused by DAC switch-
ing may result in code-dependent errors due to sample-
and-hold aperture delay. Adding a NAND (inverted AND)
gate ensures that the sample-and-hold is switched to the
hold mode BEFORE any disturbances occur (Figures 13
and 14). The NAND gate solution works only if the width
of the RD pulse is wider than the RD to BUSY delay in
the MX7672. If this is not the case, use a flip-flop, which
is set by the falling edge of RD and reset by the rising
edge of BUSY.

For synchronous RD and CLKIN, the hold settling time
allowed for the sample-and-hold is 375ns (MX7672_03),
600ns (MX7672_ _05), and 1.5µs (MX7672_ _ 10).
The maximum sampling rate is 125kHz with a 2.5MHz
clock and 64.5kHz with a 1MHz clock, allowing for a 3µs
sample-and-hold acquisition time.
Although this circuit works well for the 1MHz clock rate, a
faster sample-and-hold amplifier, such as the HA5320, is
recommended at a 2.5MHz clock rate.
MX7672_ _03—Figure 14 is the MX7672_ _03 to HA5320
interface. The maximum sampling rate is 210kHz wtth a
4MHz clock, which allows a 1.5µs acquisition time. The
HA5320 can also be replaced by a HA5330 for higher
throughput.
Analog Input Ranges
The MX7672 provides three selectable analog input
ranges: 0 to +5V, 0 to +10V, and ±5V. Figure 15 shows the
configuration for the two analog inputs (AIN1 and AIN2)
for these ranges.
Unipolar Operation
Figure 16 shows unipolar operation using an MX584 volt-
age reference configured for -5V.
Figure 17 shows the nominal input/output transfer function
of the MX7672. Code transitions occur halfway between
successive integer LSB values. The output coding is
binary with 1 LSB = Full Scale (FS)/4096. FS is either +5V
or +10V, based on the analog input configurations.
Offset and Full-Scale Adjustment
In applications requiring offset and FS range adjust-
ment, use the circuit in Figure 18. Note: The amplifier
shown could also be a sample-and-hold. Offset should be
adjusted first. Apply ½ LSB (0.61mV) at the analog input
(AIN1 or AIN2) and adjust the offset of the amplifier until
Figure 15. Analog Input Range Configurations

the digital output code changes between 0000 0000 0000
and 0000 0000 0001.
0V to +5V range: ½ LSB = 0.61mV
0V to +10V range: ½ LSB = 1.22mV
To adjust the full-scale range, apply FS - 3/2 LSB (last
code transition) at the analog input and adjust R1 until
the output code switches between 1111 1111 1110 and
1111 1111 1111.
0V to +5V range: FS - 3/2 LSB = 4.99817V
0V to +10V range: FS - 3/2 LSB = 9.99634V
Bipolar Operation
The bipolar input range is ±5V. VIN is applied to AIN1. +5V
to AIN2, and -5V to VREF. This requires two reference
voltages: -5V for the VREF input and +5V for the AIN2
input. Figure 19 shows these reference voltages are pro-
duced from a MAX675 reference and a MAX400 op amp
configured as an inverting amplifier.
The ideal input/output transfer characteristic after offset
and gain adjustment is shown in Figure 20. The LSB is
2.44mV (10V/4096).
The resistors used in bipolar applications should be the
same type from the same manufacturer to obtain low
temperature drifts. 0.1% resistors are recommended for
applications where offset and full-scale adjustments must
be made in bipolar circuits. If low tolerances are used,
larger value potentiometers must be used, which results
in poor trim resolution and higher temperature drift.
Offset and Gain Adjustment
In bipolar operation, the offset is trimmed at negative
full scale and should always be adjusted first. For offset,
apply -FS/2 + ½ LSB (-4.99878V) at VIN and adjust the
10kΩ potentiometer (Figure 18) until the output code
switches between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001.
Gain is adjusted at full scale or bipolar zero. For full-scale
adjustment, apply FS/2 - 3/2 LSBs (4.99634V) to VIN
and adjust the 200Ω potentiometer until the output code
switches between 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111.
Alternatively, to adjust gain at bipolar zero, apply -1.22mV
at VIN and adjust the 200Ω potentiometer until the output
code switches between 0111 1111 1111 and 1000 0000
0000.
