POWER DISSIPATION
There are three power modes for the ADS8345: full-power
(PD1-PD0 = 11B), auto power-down (PD1-PD0 = 00B), and
shutdown (
SHDN
LOW). The effects of these modes varies
depending on how the ADS8345 is being operated. For
example, at full conversion rate and 24-clocks per conver-
sion, there is very little difference between
full-power mode and auto power-down; a shutdown will not
lower power dissipation.
When operating at full-speed and 24-clocks per conversion
(see Figure 6), the ADS8345 spends most of its time acquir-
ing or converting. There is little time for auto power-down,
assuming that this mode is active. Thus, the difference
between full-power mode and auto power-down is negligible.
If the conversion rate is decreased by simply slowing the
frequency of the DCLK input, the two modes remain approxi-
mately equal. However, if the DCLK frequency is kept at the
maximum rate during a conversion, but conversions are
simply done less often, then the difference between the two
modes is dramatic. In the latter case, the converter spends
an increasing percentage of its time in power-down mode
(assuming the auto power-down mode is active).

Data Format
The output data from the ADS8345 is in Binary Two’s
Complement format, as shown in Table VIII. This table
represents the ideal output code for the given input voltage
and does not include the effects of offset, gain error, or noise.
If DCLK is active and
CS
is LOW while the ADS8345 is in
auto power-down mode, the device will continue to dissipate
some power in the digital logic. The power can be reduced
to a minimum by keeping
CS
HIGH.
Operating the ADS8345 in auto power-down mode will result
in the lowest power dissipation, and there is no conversion
time “penalty” on power-up. The very first conversion will be
valid.
SHDN
can be used to force an immediate power-down.
NOISE
The noise floor of the ADS8345 itself is rather low (see
Figures 10 and 11). The ADS8345 was tested at both 5V and
2.7V, and in both the internal and external clock modes. A
low-level DC input was applied to the analog-input pins and
the converter was put through 5000 conversions. The digital
output of the A/D converter will vary in output code due to the
internal noise of the ADS8345. This is true for all 16-bit, SAR-
type, A/D converters. Using a histogram to plot the output
codes, the distribution should appear bell-shaped with the
peak of the bell curve representing the nominal code for the
input value. The ±1σ, ±2σ, and ±3σ distributions will repre-
sent the 68.3%, 95.5%, and 99.7%, respectively, of all codes.
The transition noise can be calculated by dividing the number
of codes measured by 6 and this will yield the ±3σ distribu-
tion, or 99.7%, of all codes. Statistically, up to 3 codes could
fall outside the distribution when executing 1000 conver-
sions. The ADS8345, with 5 output codes for the ±3σ
distribution, will yield a < ±0.83LSB transition noise at 5V
operation. Remember, to achieve this low-noise performance,
the peak-to-peak noise of the input signal and reference
must be < 50µV.
