February 17, 2010 1MSPS, 12-/10-/8-Bit A/D Converters in SOT-23 & LLP General Description Features The ADCS7476, ADCS7477, and ADCS7478 are low power, monolithic CMOS 12-, 10- and 8-bit analog-to-digital converters that operate at 1 MSPS. The ADCS7476/77/78 are dropin replacements for Analog Devices' AD7476/77/78. Each device is based on a successive approximation register architecture with internal track-and-hold. The serial interface is compatible with several standards, such as SPITM, QSPITM, MICROWIRETM, and many common DSP serial interfaces. The ADCS7476/77/78 uses the supply voltage as a reference, enabling the devices to operate with a full-scale input range of 0 to VDD. The conversion rate is determined from the serial clock (SCLK) speed. These converters offer a shutdown mode, which can be used to trade throughput for power consumption. The ADCS7476/77/78 is operated with a single supply that can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption during continuous conversion, using a +3V or +5V supply, is 2 mW or 10 mW respectively. The power down feature, which is enabled by a chip select (CS) pin, reduces the power consumption to under 5 W using a +5V supply. All three converters are available in a 6-lead, SOT-23 package and in a 6-lead LLP, both of which provide an extremely small footprint for applications where space is a critical consideration. These products are designed for operation over the automotive/extended industrial temperature range of -40C to +125C.

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 DC. 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 DC. SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input signal and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dBc, of the rms total of the first five harmonic levels at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD is calculated as Specification Definitions APERTURE DELAY is the time after the falling edge of CS to when the input signal is acquired or held for conversion. APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture jitter manifests itself as noise in the output. 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 of the last code transition (111...110) to (111...111) from the ideal (VREF - 1.5 LSB for ADCS7476 and ADCS7477, VREF - 1 LSB for ADCS7478), after adjusting for offset error. INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale (1/2 LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (1/2 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. INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time. It is defined as the ratio of the power in the either the two second order or all four third order intermodulation products to the sum of the power in both of the original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dBFS. MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADCS7476/77/78 is guaranteed not to have any missing codes. www.national.com where f1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) frequency and f2 through f6 are the RMS power in the first 5 harmonic frequencies. TOTAL UNADJUSTED ERROR is the worst deviation found from the ideal transfer function. As such, it is a comprehensive specification which includes full scale error, linearity error, and offset error. 10 ADCS7476/ADCS7477/ADCS7478 Timing Diagrams 20057702 FIGURE 1.

Simplified schematics of the ADCS7476/77/78 in both track and hold operation are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, respectively. In Figure 4 the device is in track mode: switch SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to the input, and SW2 balances the comparator inputs. The device is in this state until CS is brought low, at which point the device moves to hold mode. 20057709 FIGURE 4. ADCS7476/77/78 in Track Mode 20057710 FIGURE 5. ADCS7476/77/78 in Hold Mode TRI-STATE after the 16th falling edge of SCLK, or at the rising edge of CS, whichever occurs first. After a conversion is completed, the quiet time tQUIET must be satisfied before bringing CS low again to begin another conversion. Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to read a complete sample from the ADCS7476/77/78. The sample bits (including any leading or trailing zeroes) are clocked out on falling edges of SCLK, and are intended to be clocked in by a receiver on subsequent falling edges of SCLK. The ADCS7476/77/78 will produce four leading zeroes on SDATA, followed by twelve, ten, or eight data bits, most significant first. After the data bits, the ADCS7477 will clock out two trailing zeros, and the ADCS7478 will clock out four trailing zeros. The ADCS7476 will not clock out any trailing zeros; the least significant data bit will be valid on the 16th falling edge of SCLK. Depending upon the application, the first edge on SCLK after CS goes low may be either a falling edge or a rising edge. If the first SCLK edge after CS goes low is a rising edge, all four leading zeroes will be valid on the first four falling edges of 2.0 USING THE ADCS7476/77/78 Serial interface timing diagrams for the ADCS7476/77/78 are shown in Figure 1, , and Figure 3. CS is chip select, which initiates conversions and frames the serial data transfers. SCLK (serial clock) controls both the conversion process and the timing of serial data. SDATA is the serial data out pin, where a conversion result is found. Basic operation of the ADCS7476/77/78 begins with CS going low, which initiates a conversion process and data transfer. Subsequent rising and falling edges of SCLK will be labelled with reference to the falling edge of CS; for example, "the third falling edge of SCLK" shall refer to the third falling edge of SCLK after CS goes low. At the fall of CS, the SDATA pin comes out of TRI-STATE, and the converter moves from track mode to hold mode. The input signal is sampled and held for conversion at the falling edge of CS. The converter moves from hold mode to track mode on the 13th rising edge of SCLK (see Figure 1, Figure 2, or Figure 3). The SDATA pin will be placed back into 17 www.national.com ADCS7476/ADCS7477/ADCS7478 Figure 5 shows the device in hold mode: switch SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to ground, maintaining the sampled voltage, and switch SW2 unbalances the comparator. The control logic then instructs the charge-redistribution DAC to add or subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor until the comparator is balanced. When the comparator is balanced, the digital word supplied to the DAC is the digital representation of the analog input voltage. The device moves from hold mode to track mode on the 13th rising edge of SCLK. Applications Information ADCS7476/ADCS7477/ADCS7478 SCLK. If instead the first SCLK edge after CS goes low is a falling edge, the first leading zero may not be set up in time for a microprocessor or DSP to read it correctly. The remaining data bits are still clocked out on the falling edges of SCLK. LSB values. The LSB widths for the ADCS7476 is VDD / 4096; for the ADCS7477 the LSB width is VDD / 1024; for the ADCS7478, the LSB width is VDD / 256. The ideal transfer characteristic for the ADCS7476 and ADCS7477 is shown in Figure 6, while the ideal transfer characteristic for the ADCS7478 is shown in Figure 7. 3.0 ADCS7476/77/78 TRANSFER FUNCTION The output format of the ADCS7476/77/78 is straight binary. Code transitions occur midway between successive integer 20057711 FIGURE 6. ADCS7476/77 Ideal Transfer Characteristic 20057712 FIGURE 7. ADCS7478 Ideal Transfer Characteristic www.national.com 18 6.0 DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The ADCS7476/77/78 digital inputs (SCLK and CS) are not limited by the same absolute maximum ratings as the analog inputs. The digital input pins are instead limited to +6.5V with respect to GND, regardless of VDD, the supply voltage. This allows the ADCS7476/77/78 to be interfaced with a wide range of logic levels, independent of the supply voltage. Note that, even though the digital inputs are tolerant of up to +6.5V above GND, the digital outputs are only capable of driving VDD out. In addition, the digital input pins are not prone to latch-up; SCLK and CS may be asserted before VDD without any risk. 7.0 MODES OF OPERATION The ADCS7476/77/78 has two possible modes of operation: normal mode, and shutdown mode. The ADCS7476/77/78 enters normal mode (and a conversion process is begun) when CS is pulled low. The device will enter shutdown mode if CS is pulled high before the tenth falling edge of SCLK after CS is pulled low, or will stay in normal mode if CS remains low. Once in shutdown mode, the device will stay there until CS is brought low again. By varying the ratio of time spent in the normal and shutdown modes, a system may trade-off throughput for power consumption. 20057713 8.0 NORMAL MODE The best possible throughput is obtained by leaving the ADCS7476/77/78 in normal mode at all times, so there are no power-up delays. To keep the device in normal mode continuously, CS must be kept low until after the 10th falling edge of SCLK after the start of a conversion (remember that a conversion is initiated by bringing CS low). If CS is brought high after the 10th falling edge, but before the 16th falling edge, the device will remain in normal mode, but the current conversion will be aborted, and SDATA will return to TRI-STATE (truncating the output word). Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to read all of a conversion word from the device. After sixteen SCLK cycles have elapsed, CS may be idled either high or low until the next conversion. If CS is idled low, it must be brought high again before the start of the next conversion, which begins when CS is again brought low. After sixteen SCLK cycles, SDATA returns to TRI-STATE. Another conversion may be started, after tQUIET has elapsed, by bringing CS low again. FIGURE 8. Typical Application Circuit 5.0 ANALOG INPUTS An equivalent circuit for the ADCS7476/77/78 input channel is shown in Figure 9. The diodes D1 and D2 provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. At no time should an analog input exceed VDD + 300 mV or GND - 300 mV, as these ESD diodes will begin conducting current into the substrate or supply line and affect ADC operation. The capacitor C1 in Figure 9 typically has a value of 4 pF, and is mainly due to pin capacitance. The resistor R1 represents the on resistance of the multiplexer and track / hold switch, and is typically 100 ohms. The capacitor C2 is the ADCS7476/77/78 sampling capacitor, and is typically 26 pF. The sampling nature of the analog input causes input current pulses that result in voltage spikes at the input. The ADCS7476/77/78 will deliver best performance when driven by a low-impedance source to eliminate distortion caused by the charging of the sampling capacitance. In applications where dynamic performance is critical, the input might need to be driven with a low output-impedance amplifier. In addition, when using the ADCS7476/77/78 to sample AC signals, a band-pass or low-pass filter will reduce harmonics and noise and thus improve THD and SNR. 9.0 SHUTDOWN MODE Shutdown mode is appropriate for applications that either do not sample continuously, or are willing to trade throughput for power consumption. When the ADCS7476/77/78 is in shutdown mode, all of the analog circuitry is turned off. To enter shutdown mode, a conversion must be interrupted by bringing CS back high anytime between the second and tenth falling edges of SCLK, as shown in Figure 10. Once CS has been brought high in this manner, the device will enter shutdown mode; the current conversion will be aborted and SDATA will enter TRI-STATE. If CS is brought high before the second falling edge of SCLK, the device will not change mode; this is to avoid accidentally changing mode as a result of noise on the CS line. 20057714 FIGURE 9. Equivalent Input Circuit 19 www.national.com ADCS7476/ADCS7477/ADCS7478 4.0 TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT A typical application of the ADCS7476/77/78 is shown in Figure 8. The combined analog and digital supplies are provided in this example by the National LP2950 low-dropout voltage regulator, available in a variety of fixed and adjustable output voltages. The supply is bypassed with a capacitor network located close to the device. The three-wire interface is also shown connected to a microprocessor or DSP.

Upon bringing CS low, the ADCS7476/77/78 will begin powering up. Power up typically takes 1 s. This microsecond of power-up delay results in the first conversion result being unusable. The second conversion performed after power-up, however, is valid, as shown in Figure 11. If CS is brought back high before the 10th falling edge of SCLK, the device will return to shutdown mode. This is done to avoid accidentally entering normal mode as a result of noise on the CS line. To exit shutdown mode and remain in normal mode, CS must be kept low until after the 10th falling edge of SCLK. The ADCS7476/77/78 will be fully poweredup after 16 SCLK cycles. version process and managing total power consumption of the product. 11.0 POWER-UP TIMING The ADCS7476/77/78 typically requires 1 s to power up, either after first applying VDD, or after returning to normal mode from shutdown mode. This corresponds to one "dummy" conversion for any SCLK frequency within the specifications in this document. After this first dummy conversion, the ADCS7476/77/78 will perform conversions properly. Note that the tQUIET time must still be included between the first dummy conversion and the second valid conversion. 13.2 Digital Output Effect Upon Noise The charging of any output load capacitance requires current from the digital supply, VDD. The current pulses required from the supply to charge the output capacitance will cause voltage variations at the ADC supply line. If these variations are large enough, they could degrade SNR and SINAD performance of the ADC. Similarly, discharging the output capacitance when the digital output goes from a logic high to a logic low will dump current into the die substrate, causing "ground bounce" noise in the substrate that will degrade noise performance if that current is large enough. The larger the output capacitance, the more current flows through the device power supply line and die substrate and the greater is the noise coupled into the analog path. The first solution to keeping digital noise out of the power supply is to decouple the supply from any other components or use a separate supply for the ADC. To keep noise out of the supply, keep the output load capacitance as small as practical. If the load capacitance is greater than 50 pF, use a 100 series resistor at the ADC output, located as close to the ADC output pin as practical. This will limit the charge and discharge current of the output capacitance and improve noise performance. Since the series resistor and the load ca- 13.1 Power Supply Noise Since the reference voltage of the ADCS7476/77/78 is the reference voltage, any noise greater than 1/2 LSB in amplitude will have some effect upon the converter noise performance. This effect is proportional to the input voltage level. The power supply should receive all the considerations of a reference voltage as far as stability and noise is concerned. Using the same supply voltage for these devices as is used for digital components will lead to degraded noise performance. 12.0 STARTUP MODE When the VDD supply is first applied, the ADCS7476/77/78 may power up in either of the two modes: normal or shutdown. As such, one dummy conversion should be performed after start-up, exactly as described in Section 11.0 POWER-UP TIMING. The part may then be placed into either normal mode or the shutdown mode, as described in Section 8.0 NORMAL MODE and Section 9.0 SHUTDOWN MODE. 13.0 POWER CONSIDERATIONS There are three concerns relating to the power supply of these products: the effects of power supply noise upon the conversion process, the digital output loading effects upon the con- www.national.com 20 normal mode, execute one dummy conversion followed by one valid conversion, and then put the part back into shutdown mode. When this is done, the fraction of time spent in normal mode may be calculated by multiplying the throughput (in samples per second) by 2 s, the time taken to perform one dummy and one valid conversion. The power consumption can then be found by multiplying the fraction of time spent in normal mode by the normal mode power consumption figure. The power dissipated while the part is in shutdown mode is negligible. For example, to calculate the power consumption at 300 kSPS with VDD = 5V, begin by calculating the fraction of time spent in normal mode: 300,000 samples/second x 2 s = 0.6, or 60%. The power consumption at 300 kSPS is then 60% of 17.5 mW (the maximum power consumption at VDD = 5V) or 10.5 mW. 13.3 Power Management When the ADCS7476/77/78 is operated continuously in normal mode, throughput up to 1 MSPS can be achieved. The user may trade throughput for power consumption by simply performing fewer conversions per unit time, and putting the ADCS7476/77/78 into shutdown mode between conversions. This method is not advantageous beyond 350 kSPS throughput. A plot of maximum power consumption versus throughput is shown in Figure 12. To calculate the power consumption for a given throughput, remember that each time the part exits shutdown mode and enters normal mode, one dummy conversion is required. Generally, the user will put the part into 20057755 FIGURE 12. Maximum Power Consumption vs. Throughput The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal lines to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. Any external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter's input pins and ground or to the reference input pin and ground should be connected to a very clean point in the ground plane. We recommend the use of a single, uniform ground plane and the use of split power planes. The power planes should be located within the same board layer. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, reference components, etc.) should be placed over the analog power plane. All digital circuitry and I/ O lines should be placed over the digital power plane. Furthermore, all components in the reference circuitry and the input signal chain that are connected to ground should be connected together with short traces and enter the analog ground plane at a single, quiet point. 14.0 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING Capacitive coupling between noisy digital circuitry and sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor performance. The solution is to keep the analog and digital circuitry separated from each other and the clock line as short as possible. Digital circuits create substantial supply and ground current transients. This digital noise could have significant impact upon system noise performance. To avoid performance degradation of the ADCS7476/77/78 due to supply noise, do not use the same supply for the ADCS7476/77/78 that is used for digital logic. Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at 90 to avoid crosstalk. However, to maximize accuracy in high resolution systems, avoid crossing analog and digital lines altogether. It is important to keep clock lines as short as possible and isolated from ALL other lines, including other digital lines. In addition, the clock line should also be treated as a transmission line and be properly terminated. 21 www.national.com ADCS7476/ADCS7477/ADCS7478 pacitance form a low frequency pole, verify signal integrity once the series resistor has been added.
