GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7865 is a fast, low power, four-channel simultaneous
sampling 14-bit A/D converter that operates from a single 5 V
supply. The part contains a 2.4 µs successive approximation
ADC, four track/hold amplifiers, 2.5 V reference, on-chip clock
oscillator, signal conditioning circuitry and a high speed parallel
interface. The input signals on four channels are sampled simultaneously thus preserving the relative phase information of the
signals on the four analog inputs. The part accepts analog input
ranges of ± 10 V, ± 5 V, ± 2.5 V, 0 V to 2.5 V and 0 V to 5 V.
The part allows any subset of the four channels to be converted
in order to maximize the throughput rate on the selected sequence.
The channels to be converted can be selected either via hardware (channel select input pins) or via software (programming
the channel select register).
A single conversion start signal (CONVST) simultaneously places
all the track/holds into hold and initiates conversion sequence
for the selected channels. The EOC signal indicates the end of
each individual conversion in the selected conversion sequence.
The BUSY signal indicates the end of the conversion sequence.
Data is read from the part via a 14-bit parallel data bus using the
standard CS and RD signals. Maximum throughput for a single
channel is 350 kSPS. For all four channels the maximum throughput is 100 kSPS.

NOTES
1
Sample tested at 25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are measured with tr = tf = 1 ns (10% to 90% of 5 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
2
See Figures 6, 7 and 8.
3
Refer to the Standby Mode Operation section. The MAX specification of 1 µs is valid when using a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor on the V REF pin.
4
Measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for an output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V.
5
These times are derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then
extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true bus
relinquish times of the part and as such are independent of external bus loading capacitances.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD7865 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Busy Output. The busy output is triggered high by the rising edge of CONVST and remains
high until conversion is completed on all selected channels.
First Data Output. FRSTDATA is a logic output which, when high, indicates that the Output
Data Register Pointer is addressing Register 1—See Accessing the Output Data Registers.
Convert Start Input. Logic Input. A low-to-high transition on this input puts all track/holds
into their hold mode and starts conversion on the selected channels. In addition, the state of
the Channel Sequence Selection is also latched on the rising edge of CONVST.
Chip Select Input. Active low logic input. The device is selected when this input is active.
Read Input. Active low logic input which is used in conjunction with CS low to enable the
data outputs. Ensure the WR pin is at logic high while performing a read operation.
Write Input. A rising edge on the WR input, with CS low and RD high, latches the logic state
on DB0 to DB3 into the channel select register.
Conversion Clock Input/Hardware Channel Select. The function of this pin depends upon the
H/S SEL input. When the H/S SEL input is high (choosing software control of the channel
selection sequence), this pin assumes its CLK IN function. CLK IN is an externally applied
clock (that is only necessary when INT/EXT CLK is high) this allows the user to control the
conversion rate of the AD7865. Each conversion needs 16 clock cycles in order for the conversion to be completed. The clock should have a duty cycle that is no greater than 60/40. See
Using an External Clock.
When the H/S SEL input is low (choosing hardware control of the channel conversion sequence), this pin assumes its Hardware Channel Select function. The SL1 input determines
whether Channel 1 is included in the channel conversion sequence. The selection is latched
on the rising edge of CONVST. See Selecting a Conversion Sequence.
Internal/External Clock/Hardware Channel Select. The function of this pin depends upon the
H/S SEL input. When the H/S SEL input is high (choosing software control of the channel
selection sequence), this pin assumes its INT/EXT CLK function. When INT/EXT CLK is at
a Logic 0, the AD7865 uses its internally generated master clock. When INT/EXT CLK is at
Logic 1, the master clock is generated externally to the device and applied to CLK IN.
When the H/S SEL input is low (choosing hardware control of the channel conversion sequence),
this pin assumes its Hardware Channel Select function. The SL2 input determines whether
Channel 2 is included in the channel conversion sequence. The selection is latched on the
rising edge of CONVST. When H/S is at Logic 1 these pins have no function and can be tied
to Logic 1 or Logic 0. See Selecting a Conversion Sequence.
Hardware Channel Select. When the H/S SEL input is at Logic 0, the SL3 input determines
whether Channel 3 is included in the channel conversion sequence while SL4 determines
whether Channel 4 is included in the channel conversion sequence. When the pin is at Logic
1, the channel is included in the conversion sequence. When the pin is at Logic 0, the channel
is excluded from the conversion sequence. The selection is latched on the rising edge of
CONVST. See Selecting a Conversion Sequence.
Hardware/Software Select Input. When this pin is at a Logic 0, the AD7865 conversion
sequence selection is controlled via the SL1–SL4 input pins and runs off an internal clock.
When this pin is at Logic 1, the conversion sequence is controlled via the channel select register and allows the ADC to run with an internal or external clock. See Selecting a Conversion
Sequence.

This pin provides the positive supply voltage for the output drivers (DB0 to DB13), BUSY,
EOC and FRSTDATA. It is normally tied to DVDD. VDRIVE should be decoupled with a
0.1 µF capacitor. It allows improved performance when reading during the conversion

interfacing to 3 V processors and DSPs.

TERMINOLOGY
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of
crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a fullscale 10 kHz sine wave signal to one channel and a 50 kHz
signal to another channel and measuring how much of that
signal is coupled onto the first channel. The figure given is the
worst case across all four channels of the AD7865.
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of
the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all nonfundamental
signals up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc.
The ratio is dependent upon the number of quantization levels
in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The theoretical signal to (noise + distortion) ratio
for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by:
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is the maximum
deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of
the ADC transfer function.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Thus for a 14-bit converter, this is 86.04 dB.
Differential Nonlinearity
Total Harmonic Distortion
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7865 it is defined as:
( )
THD dB = 20 log
Positive Gain Error (AD7865-1, AD7865-3)
This is the deviation of the last code transition (01 . . . 110 to
01 . . . 111) from the ideal 4 × VREF – 3/2 LSB (AD7865 at
± 10 V), 2 × V REF – 3/2 LSB (AD7865 at ± 5 V range) or
VREF – 3/2 LSB (AD7865 at ± 2.5 V range), after the Bipolar
Offset Error has been adjusted out.
V22 + V32 + V42 + V52 + V62
V1
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3,
V4 and V5 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the fifth
harmonics.
Positive Gain Error (AD7865-2)
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110 to
111 . . . 111) from the ideal 2 × VREF – 3/2 LSB (AD7865 at
0 V to 5 V), VREF – 3/2 LSB (AD7865 at 0 V to 2.5 V) after
the Unipolar Offset Error has been adjusted out.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the
fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for parts
where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it will be a
noise peak.
Unipolar Offset Error (AD7865-2)
This is the deviation of the first code transition (000 . . . 000 to
000 . . . 001) from the ideal AGND + 1/2 LSB.
Bipolar Zero Error (AD7865-1, AD7865-3)
This is the deviation of the midscale transition (all 0s to 1s)
from the ideal AGND – 1/2 LSB.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation terms are those for which
neither m nor n are equal to zero. For example, the second
order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), while the third order
terms include (2 fa + fb), (2 fa – fb), (fa + 2 fb) and (fa – 2 fb).
Negative Gain Error (AD7865-1, AD7865-3)
This is the deviation of the first code transition (10 . . . 000 to
10 . . . 001) from the ideal –4 × VREF + 1/2 LSB (AD7865 at
± 10 V), –2 × VREF + 1/2 LSB (AD7865 at ± 5 V range) or
–VREF + 1/2 LSB (AD7865 at ± 2.5 V range), after Bipolar Zero
Error has been adjusted out.
Track/Hold Acquisition Time
The AD7865 is tested using two input frequencies. In this case,
the second and third order terms are of different significance.
The second order terms are usually distanced in frequency from
the original sine waves, while the third order terms are usually at
a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the second
and third order terms are specified separately. The calculation of
the intermodulation distortion is as per the THD specification
where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion
products to the rms amplitude of the fundamental expressed in dBs.
Track/Hold acquisition time is the time required for the output of the track/hold amplifier to reach its final value, within
± 1/2 LSB, after the end of conversion (the point at which the
track/hold returns to track mode). It also applies to situations
where there is a step input change on the input voltage applied
to the selected VINxA/VINxB input of the AD7865. It means that
the user must wait for the duration of the track/hold acquisition
time after the end of conversion or after a step input change to
VINxA/VINxB before starting another conversion, to ensure that
the part operates to specification.

CONVERTER DETAILS
Track/Hold Section
The AD7865 is a high speed, low power, four-channel simultaneous sampling 14-bit A/D converter that operates from a single
5 V supply. The part contains a 2.4 µs successive approximation
ADC, four track/hold amplifiers, an internal 2.5 V reference
and a high speed parallel interface. There are four analog inputs
which can be sampled simultaneously, thus preserving the
relative phase information of the signals on all four analog inputs.
Thereafter, conversions will be completed on the selected subset of the four channels. The part accepts an analog input
range of ± 10 V or ± 5 V (AD7865-1), 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V
(AD7865-2) and ± 2.5 V (AD7865-3). Overvoltage protection
on the analog inputs for the part allows the input voltage to go
to ±18 V (AD7865-1 with ± 10 V input range), ±9 V (AD7865-1
with ± 5 V input range), –1 V to +18 V (AD7865-2) and –4 V to
+18 V (AD7865-3) without causing damage or effecting the conversion result of another channel. The AD7865 has two operating
modes Reading Between Conversions and Reading after the Conversion Sequence. These modes are discussed in more detail in the
Timing and Control section.
A conversion is initiated on the AD7865 by pulsing the CONVST
input. On the rising edge of CONVST, all four on-chip track/
holds are simultaneously placed into hold and the conversion
sequence is started on all the selected channels. Channel selection is made via the SL1–SL4 pins if H/S SEL is logic zero, or
via the channel select register if H/S SEL is logic one—see
Selecting a Conversion Sequence. The channel select register is
programmed via the bidirectional data lines DB0–DB3 and a
standard write operation. The selected conversion sequence is
latched on the rising edge of CONVST so changing a selection
will only take effect once a new conversion sequence is initiated. The BUSY output signal is triggered high on the rising
edge of CONVST and will remain high for the duration of the
conversion sequence. The conversion clock for the part is generated internally using a laser-trimmed clock oscillator circuit.
There is also the option of using an external clock, by tying the
INT/EXT CLK pin logic high and applying an external clock
to the CLKIN pin. However, the optimum throughput is obtained
by using the internally generated clock— see Using an External
Clock. The EOC signal indicates the end of each conversion in the
conversion sequence. The BUSY signal indicates the end of the
full conversion sequence and at this time all four Track and Holds
return to tracking mode. The conversion results can either be read
at the end of the full conversion sequence (indicated by BUSY
going low) or as each result becomes available (indicated by EOC
going low). Data is read from the part via a 14-bit parallel data bus
with standard CS and RD signals—see Timing and Control.
The track/hold amplifiers on the AD7865 allows the ADCs to
accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale amplitude to
14-bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the track/hold is greater
than the Nyquist rate of the ADC even when the ADC is operated at its maximum throughput rate of 350 kSPS (i.e., the
track/hold can handle input frequencies in excess of 175 kHz).
Conversion time for each channel of the AD7865 is 2.4 µs and
the track/hold acquisition time is 0.35 µs. To obtain optimum
performance from the part, the read operation should not occur
during a channel conversion or during the 100 ns prior to the
next CONVST rising edge. This allows the part to operate at
throughput rates up to 100 kHz for all four channels and achieve
data sheet specifications.
REV. B
The track/hold amplifiers acquire input signals to 14-bit accuracy in less than 350 ns. The operation of the track/holds are
essentially transparent to the user. The four track/hold amplifiers sample their respective input channels simultaneously, on
the rising edge of CONVST. The aperture time for the track/
holds (i.e., the delay time between the external CONVST signal
and the track/hold actually going into hold) are typically 15 ns
and, more importantly, is well matched across the four track/
holds on one device and also well matched from device to device.
This allows the relative phase information between different
input channels to be accurately preserved. It also allows multiple
AD7865s to sample more than four channels simultaneously. At
the end of a conversion sequence, the part returns to its tracking
mode. The acquisition time of the track/hold amplifiers begins
at this point.
The autozero section of the track/hold circuit is designed to
work with input slew rates of up to 4 × π × (Full-Scale Span).
This corresponds to a full-scale sine wave of up to 4 MHz for
any input range. Slew rates above this level within the acquisition time may cause an incorrect conversion result to be returned
from the AD7865.
Reference Section
The AD7865 contains a single reference pin, labelled VREF,
which either provides access to the part’s own 2.5 V reference or
allows an external 2.5 V reference to be connected to provide
the reference source for the part. The part is specified with a
2.5 V reference voltage.
The AD7865 contains an on-chip 2.5 V reference. To use this
reference as the reference source for the AD7865, simply connect a 0.1 µF disc ceramic capacitor from the VREF pin to AGND.
The voltage that appears at this pin is internally buffered before
being applied to the ADC. If this reference is required for use
external to the AD7865, it should be buffered as the part has a
FET switch in series with the reference output, resulting in a
source impedance for this output of 6 kΩ nominal. The tolerance on the internal reference is ± 10 mV at 25°C with a typical
temperature coefficient of 25 ppm/°C and a maximum error
over temperature of ± 20 mV.
If the application requires a reference with a tighter tolerance or
the AD7865 needs to be used with a system reference, the user
has the option of connecting an external reference to this VREF
pin. The external reference will effectively overdrive the internal
reference and thus provide the reference source for the ADC.
The reference input is buffered before being applied to the ADC
with the maximum input current of ± 100 µA. Suitable reference
sources for the AD7865 include the AD680, AD780, REF192
and REF43 precision 2.5 V references.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Analog Input Section
The AD7865 is offered as three part types, the AD7865-1 where
each input can be configured for ± 10 V or a ± 5 V input voltage
range, the AD7865-3 which handles input voltage range ± 2.5 V
and the AD7865-2 which has an input voltage range of 0 V to
2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V. The amount of current flowing into the
analog input will depend on the analog input range and the analog
input voltage. The maximum current flows when negative full
scale is applied.
AD7865-1
Figure 2 shows the analog input section of the AD7865-1. Each
input can be configured for ± 5 V or ± 10 V operation on the
AD7865-1. For ± 5 V operation, the VINxA and VINxB inputs are
tied together and the input voltage is applied to both. For ± 10 V
operation, the VINxB input is tied to AGND and the input voltage is applied to the VINxA input. The VINxA and VINxB inputs are
symmetrical and fully interchangeable. Thus for ease of PCB
layout on the ± 10 V range, the input voltage may be applied to
the VINxB input while the VINxA input is tied to AGND.

AD7865-2
Figure 3 shows the analog input section of the AD7865-2. Each
input can be configured for 0 V to 5 V operation or 0 V to 2.5 V
operation. For the 0 V to 5 V operation, the VINxB input is tied

0 V to 2.5 V operation, the VINxA and VINxB inputs are tied together
and the input voltage is applied to both. The VINxA and VINxB

For the AD7865-2, R1 = 4 kΩ and R2 = 4 kΩ. Once again,
the designed code transitions occur on successive integer LSB
values. Output coding is straight (natural) binary with 1 LSB

For the AD7865-3, R1 = 4 kΩ and R2 = 4 kΩ. As a result, the
VINxA input should be driven from a low impedance source. The
resistor input stage is followed by the high input impedance
stage of the track/hold amplifier.
The designed code transitions take place midway between successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs, 5/2 LSBs
etc.) LSB size is given by the formula, 1 LSB = FSR/16384.
Output coding is twos complement binary with 1 LSB = FSR/
16384 = 5 V/16384 = 610.4 µV. The ideal input/output transfer
function for the AD7865-3 is shown in Table III.
Figure 5 shows the arrangement used. The H/S SEL controls a
multiplexer that selects the source of the conversion sequence
information, i.e., from the hardware channel select pins (SL1 to
SL4) or from the channel selection register. When a conversion
is started the output from the multiplexer is latched until the
end-of-the conversion sequence. The data bus bits DB0 to DB3
(DB0 representing Channel 1 through DB3 representing Channel 4) are bidirectional and become inputs to the channel select
register when RD is logic high and CS and WR are logic low.
The logic state on DB0 to DB3 is latched into the channel select
register when WR goes logic high. Figure 6 shows the loading
sequence for channel selection using software control. When
using software control to select the conversion sequence a write
is only required each time the conversion sequence needs
changing. This is because the channel select register will hold its
information until different information is written to it.
It should be noted that the hardware select Pins SL1 and SL2
are dual function. When H/S SEL is logic high (selecting the
conversion sequence using software control) they take the functions CLK IN and INT/EXT CLK respectively. Therefore, the
logic inputs on these pins must be set according to the type of
operation required (see Using an External Clock). Also when
H/S SEL is high, the SL3 and SL4 logic inputs have no function
and can be tied either high or low, but should not be left floating.

SELECTING A CONVERSION SEQUENCE
DATA
Any subset of the four channels VIN1 to VIN4 can be selected for
conversion. The selected channels are converted in an ascending
order. For example if the channel selection includes VIN4, VIN1
and VIN3 then the conversion sequence will be VIN1, VIN3 and
then VIN4. The conversion sequence selection may be made by
using either the hardware channel select input pins SL1 through
SL4 (if H/S is tied low) or programming the channel select
register (if H/S is tied high). A logic high on a hardware channel
select pin (or logic one in the channel select register) when
CONVST goes logic high, marks the associated analog input
channel for inclusion in the conversion sequence.

TIMING AND CONTROL
Reading Between Each Conversion in the Conversion Sequence
Figure 7 shows the timing and control sequence required to
obtain the optimum throughput rate from the AD7865. To
obtain the optimum throughput from the AD7865 the user must
read the result of each conversion as it becomes available. The
timing diagram in Figure 7 shows a read operation each time the
EOC signal goes logic low. The timing in Figure 7 shows a
conversion on all four analog channels (SL1 to SL4 = 1, see
Selecting a Conversion Sequence), hence there are four EOC
pulses and four read operations to access the result of each of
the four conversions.
A conversion is initiated on the rising edge of CONVST. This
places all four track/holds into hold simultaneously. New data
from this conversion sequence is available for the first channel
selected (AIN1) 2.4 µs later. The conversion on each subsequent
channel is completed at 2.4 µs intervals. The end of each conversion is indicated by the falling edge of the EOC signal. The
BUSY output signal indicates the end of conversion for all
selected channels (four in this case).
Data is read from the part via a 14-bit parallel data bus with
standard CS and RD signals. The CS and RD inputs are internally gated to enable the conversion result onto the data bus.
The data lines DB0 to DB13 leave their high impedance state
when both CS and RD are logic low. Therefore, CS may be
permanently tied logic low and the RD signal used to access the
conversion result. Since each conversion result is latched into its
output data register at the same time EOC goes logic low a
further option would be to tie the EOC and RD pins together
with CS tied logic low and use the rising edge of EOC to latch
the conversion result. Although the AD7865 has some special
features that permit reading during a conversion (e.g., a separate supply for the output data drivers, VDRIVE), for optimum
performance it is recommended that the read operation be
completed when EOC is logic low, i.e., before the start of the
next conversion. Although Figure 7 shows the read operation
taking place during the EOC pulse, a read operation can take
place at any time. Figure 7 shows a timing specification called
“Quiet Time.” This is the amount of time that should be left
after a read operation and before the next conversion is initiated. The quiet time heavily depends on data bus capacitance
but a figure of 50 ns to 150 ns is typical.
The signal labeled FRSTDATA (First Data Word) indicates to
the user that the pointer associated with the output data registers is pointing to the first conversion result by going logic high.
The pointer is reset to point to the first data location (i.e., first
conversion result,) at the end of the first conversion just prior to
EOC going low. The pointer is incremented to point to the next
register (next conversion result) by a rising edge of RD only if
that conversion result is available. If a read takes place before
the next conversion is complete (as shown in Figure 7) then the
pointer is incremented at the end of that conversion when the
EOC pulse goes low. Hence, FRSTDATA in Figure 7 is seen to
go low just after to the second EOC pulse. Repeated read
operations during a conversion will continue to access the data
at the current pointer location until the pointer is incremented
at the end of that conversion. Note: FRSTDATA has an indeterminate logic state after initial power-up. This means that for the
first conversion sequence after power-up, the FRSTDATA
logic output may already be logic high before the end of the first
conversion. This condition is indicated by the dashed line in
Figure 7. Also the FRSTDATA logic output may already be
high as a result of the previous read sequence as is the case after
the fourth read in Figure 7. The fourth read (rising edge of RD)
resets the pointer to the first data location. There, however,
FRSTDATA is already high when the next conversion sequence
is initiated.

data bus as described in Reading Between Conversions in the
Conversion Sequence. The pointer is reset to point to Register 1
on the rising edge of the RD signal when the last conversion
result in the sequence is being read. In the example shown in
Figure 8, this means that the pointer is set to Register 1 when
the contents of Register 3 are read.
Accessing the Output Data Registers
There are four Output Data Registers, one for each of the four
possible conversion results from a conversion sequence. The
result of the first conversion in a conversion sequence is placed
in Register 1 and the second result is placed in Register 2 and so
on. For example if the conversion sequence VIN1, VIN3 and VIN4
is selected (see Selecting a Conversion Sequence) the results of
the conversion on VIN1, VIN3 and VIN4 are placed in Registers 1
to 3 respectively. The Output Data register pointer is reset to
point to Register 1 at the end of the first conversion in the
sequence, just prior to EOC going low. At this point the logic
output FRSTDATA will go logic high to indicate that the output data register pointer is addressing Register 1. When CS and
RD are both logic low the contents of the addressed register are
enabled onto the data bus (DB0–DB13).

POINTER*
Figure 9 shows the same conversion sequence as Figure 7. In
this case, however, the results of the four conversions (on VIN1
to VIN4 ) are read after all conversions have finished, i.e., when
BUSY goes logic low. The FRSTDATA signal goes logic high
at the end of the first conversion just prior to EOC going logic
low. As mentioned previously FRSTDATA has an indeterminate state after initial power up, therefore FRSTDATA may
already be logic high. Unlike the case when reading during a
conversion the output data register pointer is incremented on
the rising edge of RD because the next conversion result is available in this case. This means FRSTDATA will go logic low after
the first rising edge on RD.

Successive read operations will access the remaining conversion
results in ascending channel order. Each read operation increments the output data register pointer. The read operation that
accesses the last conversion result causes the output data register pointer to be reset so that the next read operation will access
the first conversion result again. This is shown in Figure 8 with
the fifth read after BUSY goes low accessing the result of the
conversion on VIN1. Thus the output data registers acts as a
circular buffer in which the conversion results may be continually accessed. The FRSTDATA signal will go high when the
first conversion result is available.

When reading the output data registers after a conversion
sequence, i.e., when BUSY goes low, the register pointer is
incremented on the rising edge of the RD signal as shown in
Figure 8. However, when reading the conversion results between
conversions in a conversion sequence the pointer will not be
incremented until a valid conversion result is in the register to
be addressed. In this case the pointer is incremented when the
conversion has ended and the result has been transferred to the
output data register. This happens when EOC goes low, therefore EOC may be used to enable the register contents onto the

implications associated with the position of the read operations
after BUSY goes low, however there is a minimum time between
read operations that must be adhered to. Notice also that a “Quiet

Figure 10. Using an External Clock
With the H/S SEL and INT/EXT CLK pins tied to Logic 1, the
AD7865 will expect to be driven from an external clock. The
highest external clock frequency allowed is 5 MHz. This means
a conversion time of 3.2 µs compared to 2.4 µs using the internal clock. In some instances, however, it may be useful to use an
external clock when high throughput rates are not required. For
example, two or more AD7865s may be synchronized by using
the same external clock for all devices. In this way there is no
latency between output logic signals like EOC due to differences
in the frequency of the internal clock oscillators. Figure 10
shows how the various logic outputs are synchronized to the CLK
signal. The first falling edge of CLKIN must not occur until
200 ns after a conversion has been initiated (rising edge of
CONVST), at which point BUSY will go high. The AD7865
will then convert the analog input signal on the first selected
channel (see Selecting a Conversion Sequence) at a rate determined by the CLKIN. No external events will occur until the
14th falling edge of CLKIN. The data register output address
is then reset to point to Data Register 1 and FRSTDATA goes
high. This first conversion is complete on the 15th falling edge
of the CLKIN (indicated by EOC going low) and the result
from this conversion is loaded into Data Register 1. EOC goes
high again on the 16th falling edge of CLKIN. Figure 10 shows
a RD pulse occurring when EOC is low, enabling the conversion
result in Data Register 1 onto the data bus. The next 16 pulses
of CLKIN will convert the analog input signal on the second
selected channel and so on until all selected channels have been
converted. BUSY and EOC will go low on the 15th falling edge
of the last conversion sequence and EOC will return high on the
16th falling edge.
still operational while the AD7865 is in standby. This means the
user can still continue to access the conversion results while the
AD7865 is in standby. This feature can be used to reduce the
average power consumption in a system using low throughput
rates. To reduce the average power consumption the AD7865 can
be placed in standby at the end of each conversion sequence,
i.e., when BUSY goes low and taken out of standby again prior
to the start of the next conversion sequence. The time it takes
the AD7865 to come out of standby is called the “wake-up”
time. This wake-up time will limit the maximum throughput
rate at which the AD7865 can be operated when powering down
between conversions. The AD7865 will wake up in less than
1 µs when using an external reference. When the internal reference is used, the wake-up time depends on the amount of time
the AD7865 spends in standby mode. For standby times of less
than 10 ms the AD7865 will wake up in less than 5 µs (see Figure 11). For standby times greater than this some or all of the
charge on the external reference capacitor will have leaked away
and the wake-up time will be dependent on how long it takes to
recharge. For standby times less than one second the wake-up
time will be less than 1 ms. Even if the charge has been completely
depleted the wake-up time will typically be less than 10 ms.

Figure 12. Power-Down between Conversion Sequences
When operating the AD7865 in a standby mode between conversions, the power savings can be significant. For example,
with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS and external reference, the
AD7865 will be powered up 11 µs out of every 100 µs (1 µs for
wake-up time and 9.6 µs to convert four channels. Therefore,
the average power consumption drops to (115 mW × 10.6%) or
12.2 mW approximately.
Positive Full-Scale Adjust
Apply a voltage of 9.9982 V (FS/2 – 3/2 LSB) at V1. Adjust R2
until the ADC output code flickers between 01 1111 1111 1110
and 01 1111 1111 1111.
Negative Full-Scale Adjust
OFFSET AND FULL-SCALE ADJUSTMENT
In most Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications, offset and
full-scale errors have little or no effect on system performance.
Offset error can always be eliminated in the analog domain by
ac coupling. Full-scale error effect is linear and does not cause
problems as long as the input signal is within the full dynamic
range of the ADC. Invariably, some applications will require
that the input signal span the full analog input dynamic range.
In such applications, offset and full-scale error will have to be
adjusted to zero.
Figure 13 shows a typical circuit that can be used to adjust the
offset and full-scale errors on the AD7865 (V1 on the AD7865-1
version is shown for example purposes only). Where adjustment
is required, offset error must be adjusted before full-scale error.
This is achieved by trimming the offset of the op amp driving
the analog input of the AD7865 while the input voltage is
1/2 LSB below analog ground. The trim procedure is as follows:
apply a voltage of –610 µV (–1/2 LSB) at V1 and adjust the op
amp offset voltage until the ADC output code flickers between
1111 1111 1111 and 0000 0000 0000.
Gain error can be adjusted at either the first code transition
(ADC negative full scale) or the last code transition (ADC positive full scale). The trim procedures for both cases are as follows.

RANGE = 10V
V1
Apply a voltage of –9.9998 V (–FS + 1/2 LSB) at V1 and adjust
R2 until the ADC output code flickers between 10 0000 0000
0000 and 10 0000 0000 0001.
An alternative scheme for adjusting full-scale error in systems
that use an external reference is to adjust the voltage at the VREF
pin until the full-scale error for any of the channels is adjusted
out. The good full-scale matching of the channels will ensure
small full-scale errors on the other channels.
DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS
The AD7865 is specified and 100% tested for dynamic performance specifications as well as traditional dc specifications such
as Integral and Differential Nonlinearity. These ac specifications
are required for such signal processing applications as phased array
sonar, adaptive filters and spectrum analysis. These applications
require information on the ADC’s effect on the spectral content
of the input signal. Hence, the parameters for which the AD7865
is specified include SNR, harmonic distortion, intermodulation
distortion and peak harmonics. These terms are discussed in
more detail in the following sections.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the measured signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the
ADC. The signal is the rms magnitude of the fundamental.
Noise is the rms sum of all the nonfundamental signals up to
half the sampling frequency (fS/2) excluding dc. SNR is dependent upon the number of quantization levels used in the digitization
process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The
theoretical signal to noise ratio for a sine wave input is given by

Figure 14 shows a histogram plot for 8192 conversions of a dc
input using the AD7865 with 5 V supply. The analog input was
set at the center of a code transition. It can be seen that most of
the codes appear in the one output bin, indicating very good
noise performance from the ADC.

Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3 . . ., etc. Intermodulation terms are those for
which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For example, the second order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb) while the third
order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and (fa – 2fb).
The AD7865 is tested using two input frequencies. In this case
the second and third order terms are of different significance.
The second order terms are usually distanced in frequency from
the original sine waves while the third order terms are usually at
a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the second
and third order terms are specified separately. The calculation of
the intermodulation distortion is as per the THD specification
where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion
products to the rms amplitude of the fundamental expressed in
dBs. In this case, the input consists of two, equal amplitude, low
distortion sine waves. Figure 17 shows a typical IMD plot for
the AD7865.

and a sampling frequency of 350 kHz. The SNR obtained from
this graph is 80.5 dB. It should be noted that the harmonics are

Figure 20 shows an interface between the AD7865 and the

initiated from the TMS320C5x or from an external source and
the processor is interrupted when the conversion sequence is
completed. The CS signal to the AD7865 derived from the DS

into external data memory. The RD signal from the TMS320 is

has a fast parallel bus so there are no wait state requirements.
The following instruction is used to read the conversion results
from the AD7865:

The AD7865 BUSY line provides an interrupt to the ADSP210x when the conversion sequence is complete on all the

the AD7865 using successive read operations. Alternately, one
can use the EOC pulse to interrupt the ADSP-210x when the

each conversion in the conversion sequence (Figure 8). The

Figure 22. Vector Motor Control Using the AD7865
Vector Motor Control
The current drawn by a motor can be split into two components: one produces torque and the other produces magnetic
flux. For optimal performance of the motor, these two components should be controlled independently. In conventional
methods of controlling a three-phase motor, the current (or
voltage) supplied to the motor and the frequency of the drive are
the basic control variables. However, both the torque and flux
are functions of current (or voltage) and frequency. This coupling effect can reduce the performance of the motor because,
for example, if the torque is increased by increasing the frequency, the flux tends to decrease.
Vector control of an ac motor involves controlling phase in
addition to drive and current frequency. Controlling the phase
of the motor requires feedback information on the position of
the rotor relative to the rotating magnetic field in the motor.
Using this information, a vector controller mathematically transforms the three phase drive currents into separate torque and
flux components. The AD7865, with its four-channel simultaneous sampling capability, is ideally suited for use in vector
motor control applications.
MULTIPLE AD7865s IN A SYSTEM
Figure 23 shows a system where a number of AD7865s can be
configured to handle multiple input channels. This type of configuration is common in applications such as sonar, radar, etc.
The AD7865 is specified with maximum limits on aperture
delay match. This means that the user knows the difference in
the sampling instant between all channels. This allows the user
to maintain relative phase information between the different
channels. The AD7865 has a maximum aperture delay matching of ± 4 ns.
All AD7865s use the same external SAR clock (5 MHz). Therefore, the conversion time for all devices will be the same and so
all devices may be read simultaneously. In the example shown in
Figure 23, the data outputs of two AD7865s are enabled onto a
32-bit wide data bus when EOC goes low.
AD7865
AD780
A block diagram of a vector motor control application using the
AD7865 is shown in Figure 22. The position of the field is
derived by determining the current in each phase of the motor.
Only two phase currents need to be measured because the third
can be calculated if two phases are known. VIN1 and VIN2 of the
