(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may
degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating
Ratings is not recommended.
(2) All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
(3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(4) When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, VIN < GND or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited
to 10 mA. The 50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an
input current of 10 mA to five.
(5) The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by
TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula
PDMAX = (TJmax TA)/θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the ADC121S655 is
operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply
polarity is reversed). Such conditions should always be avoided.
(6) Human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor. Machine model is a 220 pF capacitor discharged
through 0 . Charge device model simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an
automated assembler) then rapidly being discharged.

Specification Definitions
APERTURE DELAY is the time between the fourth falling edge of SCLK and the time when the input signal is
acquired or held for conversion.
COMMON MODE REJECTION RATIO (CMRR) is a measure of how well in-phase signals common to both input
pins are rejected.
To calculate CMRR, the change in output offset is measured while the common mode input voltage is changed
from 2V to 3V.
CMRR = 20 LOG ( ΔCommon Input / ΔOutput Offset) (1)
CONVERSION TIME is the time required, after the input voltage is acquired, for the ADC to convert the input
voltage to a digital word.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1
LSB.
DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that a repetitive digital waveform is high to the total time of one period. The
specification here refers to the SCLK.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise
and Distortion or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD 1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to
a perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH is a measure of the frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental
drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full scale input.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It is the difference between Positive
Full-Scale Error and Negative Full-Scale Error and can be calculated as:
Gain Error = Positive Full-Scale Error Negative Full-Scale Error (2)
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from
negative full scale LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale LSB above the last code
transition). The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that code value.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC121S655 is
specified not to have any missing codes.
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the differential input voltage at which the output
code transitions from negative full scale to the next code and VREF + 0.5 LSB
OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the differential input voltage at which the output code transitions from
code 000h to 001h and 1/2 LSB.

POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the differential input voltage at which the output
code transitions to positive full scale and VREF minus 1.5 LSB.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) is a measure of how well a change in supply voltage is rejected.
PSRR is calculated from the ratio of the change in offset error for a given change in supply voltage, expressed in
dB. For the ADC121S655, VAis changed from 4.5V to 5.5V.
PSRR = 20 LOG (ΔOffset / ΔVA) (3)
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms
value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not including
harmonics or d.c.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or SINAD) Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the
input signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock frequency, including
harmonics but excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the desired signal
amplitude to the amplitude of the peak spurious spectral component, where a spurious spectral component is
any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input and may or may not be a harmonic.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio of the rms total of the first five harmonic components at the
output to the rms level of the input signal frequency as seen at the output, expressed in dB. THD is calculated as
(4)
where Af1 is the RMS power of the input frequency at the output and Af2 through Af6 are the RMS power in the
first 5 harmonic frequencies.
THROUGHPUT TIME is the minimum time required between the start of two successive conversion.

Functional Description
The ADC121S655 analog-to-digital converter uses a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture based
upon capacitive redistribution containing an inherent sample/hold function. The architecture and process allow
the ADC121S655 to acquire and convert an analog signal at sample rates up to 500 kSPS while consuming very
little power.
The ADC121S655 requires an external reference, external clock, and a single +5V power source that can be as
low as +4.5V. The external reference can be any voltage between 1V and VA. The value of the reference voltage
determines the range of the analog input, while the reference input current depends upon the conversion rate.
The external clock can take on values as indicated in the Electrical Characteristics Table of this data sheet. The
duty cycle of the clock is essentially unimportant, provided the minimum clock high and low times are met. The
minimum clock frequency is set by internal capacitor leakage. Each conversion requires 16 SCLK cycles to
complete. If less than 12 bits of conversion data are required, CS can be brought high at any point during the
conversion. This procedure of terminating a conversion prior to completion is often referred to as short cycling.
The analog input is presented to the two input pins: +IN and –IN. Upon initiation of a conversion, the differential
input at these pins is sampled on the internal capacitor array. The inputs are disconnected from the internal
circuitry while a conversion is in progress.

The digital conversion result is clocked out by the SCLK input and is provided serially, most significant bit first, at
the DOUT pin. The digital data that is provided at the DOUT pin is that of the conversion currently in progress. With
CS held low after the conversion is complete, the ADC121S655 continuously converts the analog input. The
digital data on DOUT can be clocked into the receiving device on the SCLK rising edges. See SERIAL DIGITAL
INTERFACE and timing diagram for more information.
REFERENCE INPUT
The externally supplied reference voltage sets the analog input range. The ADC121S655 will operate with a
reference voltage in the range of 1V to VA.
As the reference voltage is reduced, the range of input voltages corresponding to each digital output code is
reduced. That is, a smaller analog input range corresponds to one LSB (Least Significant Bit). The size of one
LSB is equal to twice the reference voltage divided by 4096. When the LSB size goes below the noise floor of
the ADC121S655, the noise will span an increasing number of codes and overall performance will suffer. For
example, dynamic signals will have their SNR degrade, while D.C. measurements will have their code
uncertainty increase. Since the noise is Gaussian in nature, the effects of this noise can be reduced by averaging
the results of a number of consecutive conversions.
Additionally, since offset and gain errors are specified in LSB, any offset and/or gain errors inherent in the A/D
converter will increase in terms of LSB size as the reference voltage is reduced.
The reference input and the analog inputs are connected to the capacitor array through a switch matrix when the
input is sampled. Hence, the only current required at the reference and at the analog inputs is a series of
transient spikes.
Lower reference voltages will decrease the current pulses at the reference input and will slightly decrease the
average input current. The reference current changes only slightly with temperature. See the curves, Reference
Current vs. SCLK Frequency and Reference Current vs. Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section for additional details.
ANALOG SIGNAL INPUTS
The ADC121S655 has a differential input, and the effective input voltage that is digitized is (+IN) (IN). As is
the case with all differential input A/D converters, operation with a fully differential input signal or voltage will
provide better performance than with a single-ended input. Yet, the ADC121S655 can be presented with a
single-ended input.
The current required to recharge the input sampling capacitor will cause voltage spikes at +IN and IN. Do not
try to filter out these noise spikes. Rather, ensure that the transient settles out during the acquisition period (three
SCLK cycles after the fall of CS).
Differential Input Operation
With a fully differential input voltage or signal, a positive full scale output code (0111 1111 1111b or 7FFh) will be
obtained when (+IN) (IN) VREF 1.5 LSB. A negative full scale code (1000 0000 0000b or 800h) will be
obtained when (+IN) (IN) VREF + 0.5 LSB. This ignores gain, offset and linearity errors, which will affect the
exact differential input voltage that will determine any given output code.
Single-Ended Input Operation
For single-ended operation, the non-inverting input (+IN) of the ADC121S655 should be driven with a signal or
voltages that have a maximum to minimum value range that is equal to or less than twice the reference voltage.
The inverting input (IN) should be biased at a stable voltage that is halfway between these maximum and
minimum values.
Since the design of the ADC121S655 is optimized for a differential input, the performance degrades slightly when
driven with a single-ended input. Linearity characteristics such as INL and DNL typically degrade by 0.1 LSB and
dynamic characteristics such as SINAD typically degrades by 2 dB. Note that single-ended operation should only
be used if the performance degradation (compared with differential operation) is acceptable.

The allowable input common mode voltage (VCM) range depends upon the supply and reference voltages used
for the ADC121S655. The ranges of VCM are depicted in Figure 59 and Figure 60. The minimum and maximum

SERIAL DIGITAL INTERFACE
The ADC121S655 communicates via a synchronous 3-wire serial interface as shown in the Timing Diagrams
section. CS, chip select, initiates conversions and frames the serial data transfers. SCLK (serial clock) controls
both the conversion process and the timing of serial data. DOUT is the serial data output pin, where a conversion
result is sent as a serial data stream, MSB first.
A serial frame is initiated on the falling edge of CS and ends on the rising edge of CS. The ADC121S655's
DOUT pin is in a high impedance state when CS is high and is active when CS is low; thus CS acts as an output
enable.
During the first three cycles of SCLK, the ADC121S655 is in acquisition mode (tACQ), acquiring the input voltage.
For the next thirteen SCLK cycles (tCONV), the conversion is accomplished and the data is clocked out. SCLK
falling edges one through four clock out leading zeros while falling edges five through sixteen clock out the
conversion result, MSB first. If there is more than one conversion in a frame (continuous conversion mode), the
ADC121S655 will re-enter acquisition mode on the falling edge of SCLK after the N*16th rising edge of SCLK
and re-enter the conversion mode on the N*16+4th falling edge of SCLK as shown in Figure 2. "N" is an integer
value.
The ADC121S655 can enter acquisition mode under three different conditions. The first condition involves CS
going low (asserted) with SCLK high. In this case, the ADC121S655 enters acquisition mode on the first falling
edge of SCLK after CS is asserted. In the second condition, CS goes low with SCLK low. Under this condition,
the ADC121S655 automatically enters acquisition mode and the falling edge of CS is seen as the first falling
edge of SCLK. In the third condition, CS and SCLK go low simultaneously and the ADC121S655 enters
acquisition mode. While there is no timing restriction with respect to the falling edges of CS and SCLK, see
Figure 6 for setup and hold time requirements for the falling edge of CS with respect to the rising edge of SCLK.
CS Input
The CS (chip select bar) input is CMOS compatible and is active low. The ADC121S655 is in normal mode when
CS is low and power-down mode when CS is high. CS frames the conversion window. The falling edge of CS
marks the beginning of a conversion and the rising of CS marks the end of a conversion window. Multiple
conversions can occur within a given conversion frame with each conversion requiring sixteen SCLK cycles.
SCLK Input
The SCLK (serial clock) is used as the conversion clock and to clock out the conversion results. This input is
CMOS compatible. Internal settling time requirements limit the maximum clock frequency while internal capacitor
leakage limits the minimum clock frequency. The ADC121S655 offers specified performance with the clock rates
indicated in the electrical table.
Data Output
The output data format of the ADC121S655 is two’s complement, as shown in Table 3. This table indicates the
ideal output code for the given input voltage and does not include the effects of offset, gain error, linearity errors,
or noise. Each data output bit is sent on the falling edge of SCLK.
While most receiving systems will capture the digital output bits on the rising edge of SCLK, the falling edge of
SCLK may be used to capture each bit if the minimum hold time (tDH) for DOUT is acceptable. See Figure 5 for
DOUT hold and access times.
DOUT is enabled on the falling edge of CS and disabled on the rising edge of CS. If CS is raised prior to the 16th
falling edge of SCLK, the current conversion is aborted and DOUT will go into its high impedance state. A new
conversion will begin when CS is taken LOW.

POWER CONSUMPTION
The architecture, design, and fabrication process allow the ADC121S655 to operate at conversion rates up to
500 kSPS while consuming very little power. The ADC121S655 consumes the least amount of power while
operating in power down mode. For applications where power consumption is critical, the ADC121S655 should
be operated in power down mode as often as the application will tolerate. To further reduce power consumption,
stop the SCLK while CS is high.
Short Cycling
Another way of saving power is to short cycle the conversion process. This is done by pulling CS high after the
last required bit is received from the ADC121S655 output. This is possible because the ADC121S655 places the
latest converted data bit on DOUT as it is generated. If only 8-bits of the conversion result are needed, for
example, the conversion can be terminated by pulling CS high after the 8th bit has been clocked out. Halting the
conversion after the last needed bit is outputted is called short cycling.
Short cycling can be used to lower the power consumption in those applications that do not need a full 12-bit
resolution, or where an analog signal is being monitored until some condition occurs. For example, it may not be
necessary to use the full 12-bit resolution of the ADC121S655 as long as the signal being monitored is within
certain limits. In some circumstances, the conversion could be terminated after the first few bits. This will lower
power consumption in the converter since the ADC121S655 spends more time in power down mode and less
time in the conversion mode.
Burst Mode Operation
Normal operation of the ADC121S655 requires the SCLK frequency to be sixteen times the sample rate and the
CS rate to be the same as the sample rate. However, in order to minimize power consumption in applications
requiring sample rates below 200 kSPS, the ADC121S655 should be run with an SCLK frequency of 8 MHz and
a CS rate as slow as the system requires. When this is accomplished, the ADC121S655 is operating in burst
mode. The ADC121S655 enters into power down mode at the end of each conversion, minimizing power
consumption. This causes the converter to spend the longest possible time in power down mode. Since power
consumption scales directly with conversion rate, minimizing power consumption requires determining the lowest
conversion rate that will satisfy the requirements of the system.

TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
Proper operation requires that the fall of CS not occur simultaneously with a rising edge of SCLK. If the fall of CS
occurs during the rising edge of SCLK, the data might be clocked out one bit early. Whether or not the data is
clocked out early depends upon how close the CS transition is to the SCLK transition, the device temperature,
and characteristics of the individual device. To ensure that the data is always clocked out at a given time (the 5th
falling edge of SCLK), it is essential that the fall of CS always meet the timing requirement specified in the
Timing Specification table.
PCB LAYOUT AND CIRCUIT CONSIDERATIONS
For best performance, care should be taken with the physical layout of the printed circuit board. This is especially
true with a low reference voltage or when the conversion rate is high. At high clock rates there is less time for
settling, so it is important that any noise settles out before the conversion begins.
Power Supply
Any ADC architecture is sensitive to spikes on the power supply, reference, and ground pins. These spikes may
originate from switching power supplies, digital logic, high power devices, and other sources. Power to the
ADC121S655 should be clean and well bypassed. A 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor and a 1 µF to 10 µF
capacitor should be used to bypass the ADC121S655 supply, with the 0.1 µF capacitor placed as close to the
ADC121S655 package as possible.
Voltage Reference
The reference source must have a low output impedance and needs to be bypassed with a minimum capacitor
value of 0.1 µF. A larger capacitor value of 1 µF to 10 µF placed in parallel with the 0.1 µF is preferred. While the
ADC121S655 draws very little current from the reference on average, there are higher instantaneous current
spikes at the reference input that must settle out while SCLK is high. Since these transient spikes can be as high
as 20 mA, it is important that the reference circuit be capable of providing this much current and settle out during
the first three clock periods (acquisition time).
The reference input of the ADC121S655, like all A/D converters, does not reject noise or voltage variations. Keep
this in mind if the reference voltage is derived from the power supply. Any noise and/or ripple from the supply
that is not rejected by the external reference circuitry will appear in the digital results. The use of an active
reference source is recommended. The LM4040 and LM4050 shunt reference families and the LM4132 and
LM4140 series reference families are excellent choices for a reference source.
Power and Ground Planes
A single ground plane and the use of two or more power planes is recommended. The power planes should all
be in the same board layer and will define the analog, digital, and high power board areas. Lines associated with
these areas should always be routed within their respective areas.
The GND pin on the ADC121S655 should be connected to the ground plane at a quiet point. Avoid connecting
the GND pin too close to the ground point of a microprocessor, microcontroller, digital signal processor, or other
high power digital device.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
The following figures are examples of the ADC121S655 in typical application circuits. These circuits are basic
and will generally require modification for specific circumstances.
Data Acquisition
Figure 61 shows a typical connection diagram for the ADC121S655 operating at a supply voltage of +5V. A 5 to
10 ohm resistor is shown between the supply pin of the ADC121S655 and the microcontroller to low pass filter
any high frequency noise present on the supply line. The reference pin, VREF, is connected to a 2.5V shunt
reference, the LM4040-2.5, to define the analog input range of the ADC121S655 independent of supply variation
on the +5V supply line. The VREF pin should be de-coupled to the ground plane by a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor
and a tantalum capacitor of at least 4.7 uF. It is important that the 0.1 uF capacitor be placed as close as
possible to the VREF pin while the placement of the tantalum capacitor is less critical. It is also recommended that
the supply pin of the ADC121S655 be de-coupled to ground by a 1 uF capacitor.
Figure 61. Low cost, low power Data Acquisition System
Pressure Sensor
Figure 62 shows an example of interfacing a pressure sensor to the ADC121S655. A digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) is used to bias the pressure sensor. The DAC081S101 provides a means for dynamically adjusting the
sensitivity of the sensor. A shunt reference voltage of 2.5V is used as the reference for the ADC121S655. The
ADC121S655, DAC081S101, and the LM4040 are all powered from the same voltage source.
