Application Diagram
Description
The MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-10 and
MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-05 are
fully-differential 16, 14, and 12-bit, single-channel
1 Msps and 500 kSPS ADC family devices,
respectively, featuring low power consumption and
high performance, using a successive approximation
register (SAR) architecture.
The device operates with a 2.5V to 5.1V external
reference (VREF), which supports a wide range of input
full-scale range from -VREF to +VREF
. The reference
voltage setting is independent of the analog supply
voltage (AVDD) and is higher than AVDD. The
conversion output is available through an easy-to-use
simple SPI- compatible 3-wire interface.
The device requires a 1.8V analog supply voltage
(AVDD) and a 1.7V to 5.5V digital I/O interface supply
voltage (DVIO). The wide digital I/O interface supply
(DVIO) range (1.7V 5.5V) allows the device to
interface with most host devices (Master) available in
the current industry such as the PIC32
microcontrollers, without using external voltage level
shifters.
When the device is first powered-up, it performs a
self-calibration to minimize offset, gain and linearity
errors. The device performance stays stable across the
specified temperature range. However, when extreme
changes in the operating environment, such as in the
reference voltage, are made with respect to the initial
conditions (e.g. the reference voltage was not fully
settled during the initial power-up sequence), the user
may send a recalibrate command anytime to initiate
another self-calibration to restore optimum
performance.
When the initial power-up sequence is completed, the
device enters a low-current input acquisition mode,
where sampling capacitors are connected to the input
pins. This mode is called Standby.
During Standby, most of the internal analog circuitry is
shutdown in order to reduce current consumption.
Typically, the device consumes less than 1 µA during
Standby. A new conversion is started on the rising edge
of CNVST. When the conversion is complete and the
host lowers CNVST, the output data is presented on
SDO, and the device enters Standby to begin acquiring
the next input sample. The user can clock out the ADC
output data using the SPI-compatible serial clock
during Standby.
The ADC system clock is generated by the internal
on-chip clock, therefore the conversion is performed
independent of the SPI serial clock (SCLK).
This device can be used for various high-speed and
high-accuracy analog-to-digital data conversion
applications, where design simplicity, low power, and
no output latency are needed.
The device is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive appli-
cations and operates over the extended temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C. The available package
options are Pb-free small 3 mm x 3 mm TDFN-10 and
MSOP-10.

5.0 PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
TABLE 5-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
5.1 Supply Voltages and Reference
Voltage
The device has two power supply pins:
a) Analog power supply (AVDD): 1.8V
b) Digital input/output interface power supply
(DVIO): 1.7V to 5.5V.
The large supply voltage range of DVIO allows the
device to interface with various host devices that are
operating with different supply voltages. See Table 1-2
for timing specifications for I/O interface signal param-
eters depending on DVIO voltage.
5.2 Reference Voltage (VREF)
The device requires a single-ended external reference
voltage (VREF). The external input reference range is
from 2.5V to 5.1V. This reference voltage sets the
input full-scale range from 0V to VREF. See Figure 6-2
to Figure 6-8 for example application circuits and
reference voltage settings.
5.2.1 VOLTAGE REFERENCE
SELECTION
The performance of the voltage reference has a large
impact on the accuracy of high-precision data
acquisition systems. The voltage reference should
have high-accuracy, low-noise, and low-temperature
drift. A ±0.1% output accuracy of the reference directly
corresponds to ±0.1% absolute accuracy of the ADC
output. The RMS output noise voltage of the reference
should be less than 1/2 LSB of the ADC.
Pin Number Pin Name Function
1
VREF Reference voltage input (2.5V - 5.1V).
This pin should be decoupled with a 10 F tantalum capacitor.
2AV
DD DC supply voltage input for analog section (1.8V).
This pin should be decoupled with a 1 F ceramic capacitor.
3A
IN+ Differential positive analog input.
4A
IN- Differential negative analog input.
5 GND Power supply ground reference. This pin is a common ground for both the analog
power supply (AVDD) and digital I/O supply (DVIO).
6 CNVST Conversion-start control and active-low SPI chip-select digital input.
A new conversion is started on the rising edge of CNVST.
When the conversion is complete, output data is available at SDO by lowering CNVST.
7 SDO SPI-compatible serial digital data output: ADC conversion data is shifted out by SCLK
clock, with MSB first.
8 SCLK SPI-compatible serial data clock digital input.
The ADC output is synchronously shifted out by this clock.
9 SDI SPI-compatible serial data digital input. Tie to DVIO for normal operation.
10 DVIO DC supply voltage for digital input/output interface (1.7V - 5.5V).
This pin should be decoupled with a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor.
Note: Proper decoupling capacitors (1 F to
AVDD, 0.1 F to DVIO) should be mounted
as close as possible to the respective
pins.
Note: The reference pin needs a tantalum
decoupling capacitor (10 F, 10V rating).
Additional multiple ceramic capacitors can
be added in parallel to decouple
high-frequency noises.
Note: During the initial power-up sequence, the
reference voltage (VREF) must be
provided prior to supplying AVDD or within
about 64 ms after supplying AVDD.
Otherwise, it is strongly recommended to
send a recalibrate command. See
Section 7.1 “Recalibrate Command” for
more details.

MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
6.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
When the MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
is first powered-up, it performs a self-calibration and
enters a low current input acquisition mode (Standby)
by itself.
The external reference voltage (VREF) ranging from
2.5V to 5.1V sets the differential input full-scale range
(FSR) from -VREF to +VREF
.
The differential input signal needs an appropriate input
common-mode voltage from 0V to VREF
, depending on
the input signal condition. VREF/2 is typically used for a
symmetric differential input.
During input acquisition (Standby), the internal input
sampling capacitors are connected to the input signal,
while most of the internal analog circuits are shutdown
to save power. During this input acquisition time
(tACQ), the device consumes less than 1 A.
The user can operate the device with an easy-to-use
SPI-compatible 3-wire interface.
The device initiates data conversion on the rising edge
of the conversion-start control (CNVST). The data con-
version time (tCNV) is set by the internal clock. Once
the conversion is complete and the host lowers
CNVST, the output data is available on SDO and the
device starts the next input acquisition by itself. During
this input acquisition time (tACQ), the user can clock
out the output data by providing the SPI-compatible
serial clock (SCLK).
The device provides conversion data with no missing
codes. This ADC device family has a large input
full-scale range, high precision, high throughput with
no output latency, and is an ideal choice for various
ADC applications.
6.1 Analog Inputs
Figure 6-1 shows a simplified equivalent circuit of the
differential input architecture with a switched capacitor
input stage. The input sampling capacitors
(CS+and CS-) are about 31 pF each. The back-to-back
diodes (D1 - D2) at each input are ESD protection
diodes. Note that these ESD diodes are tied to VREF
, so
that each input signal can swing from 0V to +VREF and
from -VREF to +VREF differentially.
During input acquisition (Standby), the sampling
switches are closed and each input sees the sampling
capacitor ( 31 pF) in series with the on-resistance of
the sampling switch, RSON ( 200).
For high-precision data conversion applications, the
input voltage needs to be fully settled within 1/2 LSB
during the input acquisition period (tACQ). The settling
time is directly related to the source impedance: A
lower impedance source results in faster input settling
time. Although the device can be driven directly with a
low impedance source, using a low noise input driver is
highly recommended.
FIGURE 6-1: Simplified Equivalent
Analog Input Circuit.
6.1.1 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM INPUT
VOLTAGE RANGE
The input voltage at each input pin (AIN+ and AIN-)
must meet the following absolute maximum input
voltage limits:
•(V
IN+, VIN-) < VREF + 0.1V
•(V
IN+, VIN-) > GND - 0.1V
Note: The ESD diodes at the analog input pins
are biased from VREF
. Any input voltage
outside the absolute maximum range can
turn on the input ESD protection diodes
and results in input leakage current which
may cause conversion errors and
permanent damage to the device. Care
must be taken in setting the input voltage
ranges so that the input voltage does not
exceed the absolute maximum input
voltage range.

6.1.2 INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The differential input (VIN) and common-mode voltage
(VCM) at the input pins are defined by:
EQUATION 6-1: DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
where VIN+ is the input at the AIN+ pin and VIN- is the
input at AIN- pin. The input signal swings around an
input common-mode voltage (VCM), typically centered
at VREF/2 for the best performance.
The absolute value of the differential input (VIN) needs
to be less than the reference voltage. The device will
output saturated output codes (all 0s or all 1s except
sign bit) if the absolute value of the input (VIN) is greater
than the reference voltage.
The differential input full-scale voltage range (FSR) is
given by the external reference voltage (VREF) setting:
EQUATION 6-2: FSR AND INPUT RANGE
6.2 Analog Input Conditioning
Circuits
The MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
supports various input types, such as: (a)
fully-differential inputs, (b) arbitrary waveform inputs
and (c) single-ended inputs.
6.2.1 FULLY-DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
SIGNALS
The MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
provides the best linearity performance with
fully-differential inputs. Figure 6-2 shows an example
of a fully-differential input conditioning circuit with a
differential input driver followed by an RC anti-aliasing
filter. Figure 6-3 shows its transfer function.
The differential input (VIN) between the two differential
ADC analog input pins (AIN+, AIN-) swings from -VREF
to +VREF centered at the input common-mode voltage
(VOCM).
The front-end differential driver provides a low output
impedance, which provides fast settling of the analog
inputs during the acquisition phase and provides
isolation between the signal source and the ADC. The
RC low-pass anti-aliasing filter band-limits the output
noise of the input driver and attenuates the kick-back
noise spikes from the ADC during conversion.
Figure 6-2 is the reference circuit that is used to collect
most of the linearity performance data shown in
Table 1-1.
The differential input driver shown in Figure 6-2 can be
replaced with a low noise dual-channel op-amp. See
Section 6.3 “ADC Input Driver Selection” for the
driver selection.
6.2.2 ARBITRARY WAVEFORM INPUT
SIGNALS
The MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX can
convert input signals with arbitrary waveforms at the
inputs AIN+ and AIN-. These inputs can be symmetric,
non-symmetric or independent with respect to each
other.
In the arbitrary input configuration, each ADC analog
input is connected to a single ended source ranging
from 0V to VREF
. In this case, the ADC converts the
voltage difference between the two input signals.
Figure 6-4 shows the configuration example for the
arbitrary input signals.
6.2.3 SINGLE-ENDED INPUT SIGNALS
Although the
MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
is a fully-differential input device, it can also convert
single-ended input signals. The most commonly
recommended single-ended configurations are:
(a) pseudo-differential bipolar configuration and
(b) pseudo-differential unipolar configuration.
6.2.3.1 Pseudo-Differential Bipolar
Configuration
In the pseudo-differential bipolar configuration, one of
the ADC analog inputs (typically AIN-) is driven with a
fixed DC voltage (typically VREF/2), while the other
(AIN+) is connected to a single-ended signal in the
range 0V to VREF
.
In this case, the ADC converts the voltage difference
between the single-ended signal and the DC voltage.
Figure 6-5 shows the configuration example and
Figure 6-6 shows its transfer function.
6.2.3.2 Pseudo-Differential Unipolar
Configuration
In the pseudo-differential unipolar input configuration,
one of the ADC analog inputs (typically AIN-) is
connected to ground, while the other (AIN+) is
connected to a single ended signal in the range 0V to
VREF
.
In this case, the ADC converts the voltage difference
between the single ended signal and ground.
Figure 6-7 shows the configuration example and
Figure 6-8 shows its transfer function.

6.3 ADC Input Driver Selection
The noise and distortion of the ADC input driver can
degrade the dynamic performance (SNR, SFDR, and
THD) of the overall ADC application system. Therefore,
the ADC input driver needs better performance
specifications than the ADC itself. The data sheet of the
driver typically shows the output noise voltage and
harmonic distortion parameters.
Figure 6-9 shows a simplified system noise
presentation block diagram for the front-end driver and
ADC.
FIGURE 6-9: Simplified System Noise
Representation.
Unity-Gain Bandwidth:
An input driver with higher bandwidth usually results in
better overall linearity performance. Typically, the driver
should have the unity-gain bandwidth greater than 5
times the -3 dB cutoff frequency of the anti-aliasing
filter:
EQUATION 6-3: BANDWIDTH
REQUIREMENT FOR ADC
INPUT DRIVER
where, fB = -3 dB bandwidth of RC anti-aliasing filter as
shown in Figure 6-9.
Distortion:
The nonlinearity characteristics of the input driver
cause distortions in the ADC output. Therefore, the
input driver should have less distortion than the ADC
itself. The recommended total harmonic distortion
(THD) of the driver is at least 10 dB less than that of the
ADC:
EQUATION 6-4: RECOMMENDED THD
FOR ADC INPUT DRIVER
ADC Input-Referred Noise:
When the ADC is operating with a full-scale input
range, the ADC input-referred RMS noise is
approximated as shown in Equation 6-5.
EQUATION 6-5: ADC INPUT-REFERRED
NOISE
where FSR is the input full-scale range of ADC.
Noise Contribution from the Front-End Driver:
The noise from the input driver can degrade the ADC’s
SNR performance. Therefore, the selected input driver
should have the lowest possible broadband noise
density and 1/f noise. When an anti-aliasing filter is
used after the input driver, the output noise density of
the input driver is integrated over the -3 dB bandwidth
of the filter.
Equation 6-6 shows the RMS output noise voltage
calculation using the RC filter’s bandwidth and noise
density (eN) of the input driver. GN in Equation 6-6 is
the noise gain of the driver amplifier and becomes 1 for
a unity gain buffer driver.
EQUATION 6-6: NOISE FROM FRONT-END
DRIVER AMPLIFIER
where eN is the broadband noise density (V/Hz) of the
front-end driver amplifier and is typically given in its
data sheet. In Equation 6-6, 1/f noise (eNFlicker) is
ignored assuming it is very small compared to the
broadband noise (eN).
For high precision ADC applications, the noise
contribution from the front-end input driver amplifier is
typically constrained to be less than about 20% (or 1/5
times) of the ADC input-referred noise as shown in
Equation 6-7:
EQUATION 6-7: RECOMMENDED ADC
INPUT DRIVER NOISE
Using Equation 6-5 to Equation 6-7, the recommended
noise voltage density (eN) limit of the ADC input driver
is expressed in Equation 6-8:

MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
6.4 Device Operation
When the MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
is first powered-up, it self-calibrates internal systems
and enters input acquisition mode by itself. The device
operates in two phases: (a) Input Acquisition (Standby)
and (b) Data Conversion. Figure 6-10 shows the ADC
operating sequence.
6.4.1 INPUT ACQUISITION PHASE
(STANDBY)
During the input acquisition phase (tACQ), also called
Standby, the two input sampling capacitors, CS+ and
CS-, are connected to the AIN+ and AIN- pins,
respectively. The input voltage is sampled until a rising
edge on CNVST is detected. The input voltage should
be fully settled within 1/2 LSB during tACQ.
During this input acquisition time (tACQ), the ADC
consumes less than 1 A. The acquisition time (tACQ)
is user-controllable. The system designer can increase
the acquisition time (tACQ) as long as needed for
additional power savings.
6.4.2 DATA CONVERSION PHASE
The start of the conversion is controlled by CNVST. On
the rising edge of CNVST, the sampled charge is
locked (sample switches are opened) and the ADC
performs the conversion. Once a conversion is started,
it will not stop until the current conversion is complete.
The data conversion time (tCNV) is not user
controllable. After the conversion is complete and the
host lowers CNVST, the output data is presented on
SDO.
Any noise injection during the conversion phase may
affect the accuracy of the conversion. To reduce
external environment noise, minimize I/O events and
running clocks during the conversion time.
The output data is clocked out MSB first. While the
output data is being transferred, the device enters the
next input acquisition phase.
FIGURE 6-10: Device Operating Sequence.
Note: Transferring output data during the
acquisition phase can disturb the next
input sample. It is highly recommended to
allow at least tQUIET (10 ns, typical)
between the last edge on the SPI interface
and the rising edge on CNVST. See
Figure 1-1 for tQUIET
.

6.4.3 SAMPLE (THROUGHPUT) RATE
The device completes data conversion within the
maximum specification of the data conversion time
(tCNV). The continuous input sample rate is the inverse
of the sum of input acquisition time (tACQ) and data
conversion time (tCNV). Equation 6-9 shows the
continuous sample rate calculation using the minimum
and maximum specifications of the input acquisition
time (tACQ) and data conversion time (tCNV).
EQUATION 6-9: SAMPLE RATE
6.4.4 SERIAL SPI CLOCK FREQUENCY
REQUIREMENT
The ADC output is collected during the input acquisition
time (tACQ). For continuous input sampling and data
conversion sequence, the SPI clock frequency should
be fast enough to clock out all output data bits during
the input acquisition time (tACQ). For the continuous
sampling rate (fS), the minimum SPI clock frequency
requirement is determined by the following equation:
EQUATION 6-10: SPI CLOCK FREQUENCY
REQUIREMENT
where fSCLK is the minimum SPI serial clock frequency
required to transfer all N-bits of the output data during
input acquisition time (tACQ).
Table 6-4 and Table 6-5 show the examples of
calculated minimum SPI clock (fSCLK) requirements for
various input acquisition times for 1 Msps and 500 kSPS
family devices, respectively.

3: In extended temperature range, the device takes longer data conversion time (tCNV: 750 nS, max). Using a shorter input acquisition time
is recommended (tACQ: 250 nS) for 1 Msps throughput rate.

6.6 Digital Output Code
The digital output code is proportional to the input
voltage. The output data is in binary two’s complement
format. With this coding scheme the MSB can be
considered a sign indicator. When the MSB is a logic
0’, the input is positive. When the MSB is a logic ‘1’, the
input is negative. The following is an example of the
output code:
(a) for a negative full-scale input:
Analog Input: (VIN+) - (VIN-) = -VREF
Output Code: 1000...0000
(b) for a zero differential input:
Analog Input: (VIN+) - (VIN-) = 0V
Output Code: 0000...0000
(c) for a positive full-scale input:
Analog Input: (VIN+) - (VIN-) = +VREF
Output Code: 0111...1111
The MSB (sign bit) is always transmitted first through
the SDO pin.
The code will be locked at 0111...11 for all voltages
greater than (VREF - 1 LSB) and 1000...00 for
voltages less than -VREF
. Ta b l e 6 - 7 shows an example
of output codes of various input levels.

MCP33131D/MCP33121D/MCP33111D-XX
7.0 DIGITAL SERIAL INTERFACE
The device has a SPI-compatible serial digital
interface using four digital pins: CNVST, SDI, SDO and
SCLK.
Figure 7-1 shows the connection diagram with the host
device and Figure 7-2 shows the SPI-compatible serial
interface timing diagram.
The SDI pin can be tied to the digital I/O interface
supply voltage (DVIO) or just maintain logic “High” level
by the host. The CNVST pin is used for both chip select
(CS) and conversion-start control.
A rising edge on CNVST initiates the conversion
process. Once the conversion is initiated, the device
will complete the conversion regardless of the state of
CNVST. This means the CNVST pin can be used for
other purposes during tCNV.
When the conversion is complete, the output is
available at SDO by lowering CNVST. Data is sent
MSB-first and changes on the falling edge of SCLK.
Output data can be sampled on either edge of SCLK.
However, a digital host capturing data on the falling
edge of SCLK can achieve a faster read out rate.
SDO returns to high-Z state after the last data bit is
clocked out or when CNVST goes high, whichever
occurs first.

7.1 Recalibrate Command
The user may use the recalibrate command in the
following cases:
When the reference voltage was not fully settled
during the first-power sequence.
During operation, to ensure optimum performance
across varying environment conditions, such as
reference voltage and temperature.
A self-calibration is initiated by sending the recalibrate
command. The host device sends a recalibrate
command by transmitting 1024 SCLK pulses (including
the clocks for data bits) while the device is in the
acquisition phase (Standby).
The device drives SDO low during the recalibration
procedure, and returns to high-Z once completed. The
status of the recalibration procedure can be monitored
by placing a pull-up on SDO, so that SDO goes high
when the recalibration is complete.
Figure 7-3 shows the recalibrate command timing
diagram. The calibration takes approximately 500 ms
(tCAL).
FIGURE 7-3: Recalibrate Command Timing Diagram.
Note: When the device performs a self-calibration, it is important to note that both AVDD and the reference voltage
(VREF) must be stabilized for a correct calibration. This is also true when the device is first powered-up, the
reference voltage (VREF) must be stabilized before self-calibration begins. This means the VREF must be
provided prior to supplying AVDD or within about 64 ms after supplying AVDD.

8.2 PCB Layout Guidelines:
Microchip provides the schematics and PCB layout of
the MCP331x1D-XX Evaluation Board. It is strongly
recommended that the user references the example
circuits and PCB layouts.
A good schematic with low noise PCB layout is critical
for high performing ADC application system designs. A
few guidelines are listed below:
Use low noise supplies (AVDD, DVIO, and VREF).
All supply voltage pins, including reference volt-
age, need decoupling capacitors. Decoupling
capacitor requirements for each supply pin are
shown in Table 5-1.
Use NPO or COG type capacitor for the RC anti-
aliasing filters in the analog input network.
Keep the analog circuit section (analog input
driver amplifiers, filters, voltage reference, ADC,
etc.) with an analog ground plane, and the digital
circuit section (MCU, digital I/O interface) with a
digital ground plane. Keep these sections as
much apart as possible. This will minimize any
digital switching noise coupling into the analog
section.
Connect the analog and digital ground planes at a
single point (away from the sensitive analog sec-
tions) with a 0 resistor or with a ferrite bead.
See Figure 8-3 as an example of separated
ground planes.
Keep the clock and digital output data lines short
and away from the sensitive analog sections as
much as possible.
PCB material and Layers: Low loss FR-4 mate-
rial is most commonly used. The following 4 lay-
ers are recommended:
(a) Top Layer: Most of the noise-sensitive ana-
log components are populated on the top layer.
Use all unused surface area as ground planes:
analog ground plane in analog circuit section
and digital ground in digital circuit section. These
ground planes need to be tied to the corre-
sponding ground planes in the second and bot-
tom layers using multiple vias.
(b) 2nd Layer: Use this layer as the ground
plane: Analog ground plane under the analog
circuit section of the top layer and digital ground
plane under the digital circuit section on the top
layer. Each ground plane is tied to its corre-
sponding ground plane of top and bottom layers
using multiple vias.
(c) 3rd Layer: This layer is used to distribute
various power supplies of the circuits. Use sep-
arate trace paths for the power supplies of ana-
log and digital sections. Do not use the same
power supply source for both analog and digital
circuits.
(d) Bottom Layer: This layer is mostly used as
a solid ground plane: Analog ground plane
under the analog circuit section of the top layer
and digital ground plane under the digital circuit
section on the top layer. Each ground plane is
tied to its corresponding ground plane of all lay-
ers using multiple vias.
Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4 show brief examples
of the PCB layout. See more details of the sche-
matics and PCB layout in the MCP331x1D-XX
Evaluation Board User’s Guide.

9.0 TERMINOLOGY
Analog Input Bandwidth (Full-Power
Bandwidth)
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power
of the fundamental frequency (as determined by FFT
analysis) is reduced by 3 dB.
Aperture Delay or Sampling Delay
This is the time delay between the rising edge of the
CNVST input and when the input signal is held for a
conversion.
Differential Nonlinearity
(DNL, No Missing Codes)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly
1 LSB apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value.
No missing codes to 16-bit resolution indicates that all
65,536 codes (16,384 codes for 14-bit, 4096 codes for
12-bit) must be present over all the operating
conditions.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the maximum deviation of each individual code
from an ideal straight line drawn from negative full
scale through positive full scale.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to
the noise floor power (PN), below the Nyquist frequency
and excluding the power at DC and the first nine
harmonics.
EQUATION 9-1:
SNR is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier), when
the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale), when the power
of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter
full-scale range.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS)
to the power of all the other spectral components
including noise (PN) and distortion (PD) below the
Nyquist frequency, but excluding DC:
EQUATION 9-2:
SINAD is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier),
when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as
the reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale), when the
power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the
converter full-scale range.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The effective number of bits for a sine wave input at a
given input frequency can be calculated directly from its
measured SINAD using the following formula:
EQUATION 9-3:
Gain Error
Gain error is the deviation of the ADC’s actual input
full-scale range from its ideal value. The gain error is
given as a percentage of the ideal input full-scale
range. Gain error is usually expressed in LSB or as a
percentage of full-scale range (%FSR).
Offset Error
The major carry transition should occur for an analog
value of ½ LSB below AIN+=A
IN. Offset error is
defined as the deviation of the actual transition from
that point.
Temperature Drift
The temperature drift for offset error and gain error
specifies the maximum change from the initial (+25°C)
value to the value at across the TMIN to TMAX range.
The value is normalized by the reference voltage and
expressed in V/oC or ppm/oC.
Maximum Conversion Rate
The maximum clock rate at which parametric testing is
performed.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental to the
highest other spectral component (either spur or
harmonic). SFDR is typically given in units of dBc (dB
to carrier) or dBFS.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to
the summed power of the first 13 harmonics (PD).
EQUATION 9-4:
THD is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
THD is also shown by:
EQUATION 9-5:
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
Common-mode rejection is the ability of a device to
reject a signal that is common to both sides of a
differential input pair. The common-mode signal can be
an AC or DC signal or a combination of the two. CMRR
is measured using the ratio of the differential signal
gain to the common-mode signal gain and expressed in

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
