DESCRIPTION
The ADC081C021 is a low-power, monolithic, 8-bit,
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a
+2.7 to 5.5V supply. The converter is based on a
successive approximation register architecture with
an internal track-and-hold circuit that can handle input
frequencies up to 11MHz. The ADC081C021
operates from a single supply which also serves as
the reference. The device features an I2C-compatible
serial interface that operates in all three speed
modes, including high speed mode (3.4MHz).
The ADC's Alert feature provides an interrupt that is
activated when the analog input violates a
programmable upper or lower limit value. The device
features an automatic conversion mode, which frees
up the controller and I2C interface. In this mode, the
ADC continuously monitors the analog input for an
"out-of-range" condition and provides an interrupt if
the measured voltage goes out-of-range.
The ADC081C021 comes in two packages: a small
SOT-6 package with an alert output, and an VSSOP8 package with an alert output and two address
selection inputs. The ADC081C027 comes in a small
SOT-6 package with an address selection input. The
ADC081C027
provides
three
pin-selectable
addresses while the VSSOP-8 version of the
ADC081C021
provides
nine
pin-selectable
addresses. Pin-compatible alternatives to the SOT-6
options are available with additional address options.
Normal power consumption using a +3V or +5V
supply is 0.26mW or 0.78mW, respectively. The
automatic power-down feature reduces the power
consumption to less than 1µW while not converting.
Operation over the industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +105°C is ensured. Their low power
consumption and small packages make this family of
ADCs an excellent choice for use in battery operated
equipment.
The ADC081C021 and ADC081C027 are part of a
family of pin-compatible ADCs that also provide 10and 12-bit resolution. For 10-bit ADCs see the
ADC101C021 and ADC101C027. For 12-bit ADCs
see the ADC121C021 and ADC121C027.

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.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
To ensure accuracy, it is required that VA be well bypassed and free of noise.
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds 5.5V or is less than GND, the current at that pin should be limited per the Absolute Maximum
Ratings. The maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies.
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 will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe
fault condition (e.g., when input or output pins are driven beyond the operating ratings, or the power supply polarity is reversed).
Human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is a 220 pF capacitor discharged
through 0 Ω. Charged 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.

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.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes up to 5.5V, regardless of VA, will not cause errors in the conversion
result. For example, if VA is 3V, the digital input pins can be driven with a 5V logic device.

Specification Definitions
ACQUISITION TIME is the time required for the ADC to acquire the input voltage. During this time, the hold
capacitor is charged by the input voltage.
APERTURE DELAY is the time between the start of a conversion and the time when the input signal is internally
acquired or held for conversion.
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.
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), 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 (½ LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (½ 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 an individual ADC input at the same time. It is defined as the ratio of the
power in both the second and third order intermodulation products to the power in one of the original frequencies.
Second order products are fa ± fb, where fa and fb are the two sine wave input frequencies. Third order products
are (2fa ± fb ) and (fa ± 2fb). IMD is usually expressed in dB.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC output. The ADC081C021 is
ensured not to have any missing codes.
OFFSET ERROR is the deviation of the first code transition (000...000) to (000...001) from the ideal (i.e. GND +
0.5 LSB).
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, expressed in dBc, of the rms total of the first n harmonic
components at the output to the rms level of the input signal frequency as seen at the output. THD is calculated
as
THD = 20 x log 10
A f22 + / + A Fn 2
A f12
(1)
where Af1 is the RMS power of the input frequency at the output and Af2 through Afn are the RMS power in the
first n harmonic frequencies.
THROUGHPUT TIME is the minimum time required between the start of two successive conversions. It is the
acquisition time plus the conversion time.
LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT (LSB) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits in a word. This value is
LSB = VA / 2n

SNAS447C – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2013
Functional Description
The ADC081C021 and the ADC081C027 are successive-approximation analog-to-digital converters designed
around a charge-redistribution digital-to-analog converter. Unless otherwise stated, references to the
ADC081C021 in this section will apply to both the ADC081C021 and the ADC081C027.
CONVERTER OPERATION
Simplified schematics of the ADC081C021 in both track and hold operation are shown in Figure 20 and
Figure 21 respectively. In Figure 20, the ADC081C021 is in track mode. SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to
the analog input channel and SW2 equalizes the comparator inputs. The ADC is in this state for approximately
0.4µs at the beginning of every conversion cycle, which begins at the ACK fall of SDA. Conversions occur when
the conversion result register is read and when the ADC is in automatic conversion mode. (see AUTOMATIC
CONVERSION MODE).
Figure 21 shows the ADC081C021 in hold mode. SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to ground and SW2
unbalances the comparator. The control logic then instructs the charge-redistribution DAC to add or subtract
fixed amounts of charge to or from the sampling capacitor until the comparator is balanced. When the
comparator is balanced, the digital word supplied to the DAC is also the digital representation of the analog input
voltage. This digital word is stored in the conversion result register and read via the 2-wire interface.
In the Normal (non-Automatic) Conversion mode, a new conversion is started after the previous conversion result
is read. In the Automatic Mode, conversions are started at set intervals, as determined by bits D7 through D5 of
the Configuration Register. The intent of the Automatic mode is to provide a "watchdog" function to ensure that
the input voltage remains within the limits set in the Alert Limit Registers. The minimum and maximum
conversion results can then be read from the Lowest Conversion Register and the Highest Conversion Register,
as described in INTERNAL REGISTERS.

ANALOG INPUT
An equivalent circuit for the input of the ADC081C021 is shown in Figure 22. The diodes provide ESD protection
for the analog input. The operating range for the analog input is 0 V to VA. Going beyond this range will cause
the ESD diodes to conduct and result in erratic operation. For this reason, these diodes should NOT be used to
clamp the input signal.
The capacitor C1 in Figure 22 has a typical value of 3 pF and is mainly the package pin capacitance. Resistor R1
is the on resistance (RON) of the multiplexer and track / hold switch and is typically 500Ω. Capacitor C2 is the
ADC081C021 sampling capacitor, and is typically 30 pF. The ADC081C021 will deliver best performance when
driven by a low-impedance source (less than 100Ω). This is especially important when using the ADC081C021 to
sample dynamic signals. A buffer amplifier may be necessary to limit source impedance. Use a precision op-amp
to maximize circuit performance. Also important when sampling dynamic signals is a band-pass or low-pass filter
to reduce noise at the input.

The analog input is sampled for eight internal clock cycles, or for typically 400 ns, after the fall of SDA for
acknowledgement. This time could be as long as about 530 ns. The sampling switch opens and the conversion
begins this time after the fall of ACK. This time are typical at room temperature and may vary with temperature.
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output format of the ADC081C021 is straight binary. Code transitions occur midway between successive
integer LSB values. The LSB width for the ADC081C021 is VA / 256. The ideal transfer characteristic is shown in
Figure 23. The transition from an output code of 0000 0000 0000 to a code of 0000 0000 0001 is at 1/2 LSB, or a
voltage of VA / 512. Other code transitions occur at intervals of 1 LSB.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The ADC081C021 uses the supply (VA) as the reference, so VA must be treated as a reference. The analog-todigital conversion will only be as precise as the reference (VA), so the supply voltage should be free of noise. The
reference should be driven by a low output impedance voltage source.
The Applications section provides recommended ways to provide the supply voltage appropriately. Refer to
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT for details.

POWER-ON RESET
An internal power-on reset (POR) occurs when the supply voltage transitions above the power-on reset
threshold. Each of the registers contains a defined value upon POR and this data remains there until any of the
following occurs:
• The first conversion is completed, causing the Conversion Result and Status registers to be updated.
• A different data word is written to a writeable register.
• The ADC is powered down.
The internal registers will lose their contents if the supply voltage goes below 2.4V. Should this happen, it is
important that the VA supply be lowered to a maximum of 200mV before the supply is raised again to properly
reset the device and ensure that the ADC performs as specified.
INTERNAL REGISTERS
The ADC081C021 has 8 internal data registers and one address pointer. The registers provide additional ADC
functions such as storing minimum and maximum conversion results, setting alert threshold levels, and storing
data to configure the operation of the device. Figure 24 shows all of the registers and their corresponding
address pointer values. All of the registers are read/write capable except the conversion result register which is
read-only.

Address Pointer Register
The address pointer determines which of the data registers is accessed by the I2C interface. The first data byte
of every write operation is stored in the address pointer register. This value selects the register that the following
data bytes will be written to or read from. Only the three LSBs of this register are variable. The other bits must
always be written to as zeros. After a power-on reset, the pointer register defaults to all zeros (conversion result
register).

VMAX -- Highest Conversion Register
This register holds the Highest Conversion result when in the Automatic mode. Each conversion result is
compared against the contents of this register. If the value is higher, it replaces the previous value. If the value is
lower, the register contents remain unchanged. The highest conversion value can be cleared at any time by
writing 0000h to this register. The value of this register will update automatically when the automatic conversion
mode is enabled, but is NOT updated in the normal mode.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The I2C-compatible interface operates in all three speed modes. Standard mode (100kHz) and Fast mode
(400kHz) are functionally the same and will be referred to as Standard-Fast mode in this document. High-Speed
mode (3.4MHz) is an extension of Standard-Fast mode and will be referred to as Hs-mode in this document.
The following diagrams describe the timing relationships of the clock (SCL) and data (SDA) signals. Pull-up
resistors or current sources are required on the SCL and SDA busses to pull them high when they are not being
driven low. A logic zero is transmitted by driving the output low. A logic high is transmitted by releasing the output
and allowing it to be pulled-up externally. The appropriate pull-up resistor values will depend upon the total bus
capacitance and operating speed. The ADC081C021 offers extended ESD tolerance (8kV HBM) for the I2C bus
pins (SCL & SDA) allowing extension of the bus across multiple boards without extra ESD protection.
Basic I2C Protocol
The I2C interface is bi-directional and allows multiple devices to operate on the same bus. The bus consists of
master devices and slave devices which can communicate back and forth over the I2C interface. Master devices
control the bus and are typically microcontrollers, FPGAs, DSPs, or other digital controllers. Slave devices are
controlled by a master and are typically peripheral devices such as the ADC081C021. To support multiple
devices on the same bus, each slave has a unique hardware address which is referred to as the "slave address."
To communicate with a particular device on the bus, the controller (master) sends the slave address and listens
for a response from the slave. This response is referred to as an acknowledge bit. If a slave on the bus is
addressed correctly, it acknowledges (ACKs) the master by driving the SDA bus low. If the address doesn't
match a device's slave address, it not-acknowledges (NACKs) the master by letting SDA be pulled high. ACKs
also occur on the bus when data is being transmitted. When the master is writing data, the slave ACKs after
every data byte is successfully received. When the master is reading data, the master ACKs after every data
byte is received to let the slave know it wants to receive another data byte. When the master wants to stop
reading, it NACKs after the last data byte and creates a stop condition on the bus.
All communication on the bus begins with either a Start condition or a Repeated Start condition. The protocol for
starting the bus varies between Standard-Fast mode and Hs-mode. In Standard-Fast mode, the master
generates a Start condition by driving SDA from high to low while SCL is high. In Hs-mode, starting the bus is
more complicated. Please refer to High-Speed (Hs) Mode for the full details of a Hs-mode Start condition.
A Repeated Start is generated to address a different device or register, or to switch between read and write
modes. The master generates a Repeated Start condition by driving SDA low while SCL is high. Following the
Repeated Start, the master sends out the slave address and a read/write bit as shown in Figure 25. The bus
continues to operate in the same speed mode as before the Repeated Start condition.

SNAS447C – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2013
All communication on the bus ends with a Stop condition. In either Standard-Fast mode or Hs-Mode, a Stop
condition occurs when SDA is pulled high while SCL is high. After a Stop condition, the bus remains idle until a
master generates another Start condition.
Please refer to the Philips I2C® Specification (Version 2.1 Jan, 2000) for a detailed description of the serial
interface.

Figure 25. Basic Operation.
Standard-Fast Mode
In Standard-Fast mode, the master generates a start condition by driving SDA from high to low while SCL is
high. The start condition is always followed by a 7-bit slave address and a Read/Write bit. After these 8 bits have
been transmitted by the master, SDA is released by the master and the ADC081C021 either ACKs or NACKs the
address. If the slave address matches, the ADC081C021 ACKs the master. If the address doesn't match, the
ADC081C021 NACKs the master.
For a write operation, the master follows the ACK by sending the 8-bit register address pointer to the ADC. Then
the ADC081C021 ACKs the transfer by driving SDA low. Next, the master sends the upper 8-bits to the
ADC081C021. Then the ADC081C021 ACKs the transfer by driving SDA low. For a single byte transfer, the
master should generate a stop condition at this point. For a 2-byte write operation, the lower 8-bits are sent by
the master. The ADC081C021 then ACKs the transfer, and the master either sends another pair of data bytes,
generates a Repeated Start condition to read or write another register, or generates a Stop condition to end
communication.
A read operation can take place either of two ways:
If the address pointer is pre-set before the read operation, the desired register can be read immediately following
the slave address. In this case, the upper 8-bits of the register, set by the pre-set address pointer, are sent out
by the ADC. For a single byte read operation, the Master sends a NACK to the ADC and generates a Stop
condition to end communication after receiving 8-bits of data. For a 2-Byte read operation, the Master continues
the transmission by sending an ACK to the ADC. Then, the ADC sends out the lower 8-bits of the ADC register.
At this point, the master either sends; an ACK to receive more data or, a NACK followed by a Stop or Repeated
Start. If the master sends an ACK, the ADC sends the next upper data byte, and the read cycle repeats.
If the ADC081S021 address pointer needs to be set, the master needs to write to the device and set the address
pointer before reading from the desired register. This type of read requires a start, the slave address, a write bit,
the address pointer, a Repeated Start (if appropriate), the slave address, and a read bit (refer to Figure 30).
Following this sequence, the ADC sends out the upper 8-bits of the register. For a single byte read operation, the
Master must then send a NACK to the ADC and generate a Stop condition to end communication. For a 2-Byte
write operation, the Master sends an ACK to the ADC. Then, the ADC sends out the lower 8-bits of the ADC
register. At this point, the master sends either an ACK to receive more data, or a NACK followed by a Stop or
Repeated Start. If the master sends an ACK, the ADC sends another pair of data bytes, and the read cycle will
repeat. The number of data words that can be read is unlimited.

High-Speed (Hs) Mode
For Hs-mode, the sequence of events to begin communication differs slightly from Standard-Fast mode.
Figure 26 describes this in further detail. Initially, the bus begins running in Standard-Fast mode. The master
generates a Start condition and sends the 8-bit Hs master code (00001XXX) to the ADC081C021. Next, the
ADC081C021 responds with a NACK. Once the SCL line has been pulled to a high level, the master switches to
Hs-mode by increasing the bus speed and generating a second Repeated Start condition (driving SDA low while
SCL is pulled high). At this point, the master sends the slave address to the ADC081C021, and communication
continues as shown above in the "Basic Operation" Diagram (see Figure 25).
When the master generates a Repeated Start condition while in Hs-mode, the bus stays in Hs-mode awaiting the
slave address from the master. The bus continues to run in Hs-mode until a Stop condition is generated by the
master. When the master generates a Stop condition on the bus, the bus must be started in Standard-Fast mode
again before increasing the bus speed and switching to Hs-mode.

I2C Slave (Hardware) Address
The ADC has a seven-bit hardware address which is also referred to as a slave address. For the VSSOP-8
version of the ADC081C021, this address is configured by the ADR0 and ADR1 addres selection inputs. For the
ADC081C027, the address is configured by the ADR0 address selection input. ADR0 and ADR1 can be
grounded, left floating, or tied to VA. If desired, ADR0 can be set to VA/2 rather than left floating. The state of
these inputs sets the hardware address that the ADC responds to on the I2C bus (see Table 2). For the SOT-6
version of the ADC081C021, the hardware address is not pin-configurable and is set to 1010100. The diagrams
in COMMUNICATING WITH THE ADC081C021 describe how the I2C controller should address the ADC via the
I2C interface.
Pin compatible alternatives that provide additional address options to the SOT-6 version of the ADC081C021 and
the ADC081C027 are available.

SNAS447C – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2013
ALERT FUNCTION
The ALERT function is an "out-of-range" indicator. At the end of every conversion, the measured voltage is
compared to the values in the VHIGH and VLOW registers. If the measured voltage exceeds the value stored in
VHIGH or falls below the value stored in VLOW, an alert condition occurs. The Alert condition is indicated in up to
three places. First, the alert condition always causes either or both of the alert flags in the Alert Status register to
go high. If the measured voltage exceeds the VHIGH limit, the Over Range Alert Flag is set. If the measured
voltage falls below the VLOW limit, the Under Range Alert Flag is set. Second, if the Alert Flag Enable bit is set in
the Configuration register, the alert condition also sets the MSB of the Conversion Result register. Third, if the
Alert Pin Enable bit is set in the Configuration register, the ALERT output becomes active (see Figure 27). The
ALERT output (ADC081S021 only) can be configured as an active high or active low output via the Polarity bit in
the Configuration register. If the Polarity bit is cleared, the ALERT output is configured as active low. If the
Polarity bit is set, the ALERT output is configured as active high.
The Over Range Alert condition is cleared when one of the following two conditions is met:
1. The controller writes a one to the Over Range Alert Flag bit.
2. The measured voltage goes below the programmed VHIGH limit minus the programmed VHYST value and the
Alert Hold bit is cleared in the Configuration register. (see Figure 27). If the Alert Hold bit is set, the alert
condition persists and only clears when a one is written to the Over Range Alert Flag bit.
The Under Range Alert condition is cleared when one of the following two conditions is met:
1. The controller writes a one to the Under Range Alert Flag bit.
2. The measured voltage goes above the programmed VLOW limit plus the programmed VHYST value and the
Alert Hold bit is cleared in the Configuration register. If the Alert Hold bit is set, the alert condition persists
and only clears when a one is written to the Under Range Alert Flag bit.
If the alert condition has been cleared by writing a one to the alert flag while the measured voltage still violates
the VHIGH or VLOW limits, an alert condition will occur again after the completion of the next conversion (see
Figure 28).
Alert conditions only occur if the input voltage exceeds the VHIGH limit or falls below the VLOW limit at the samplehold instant. The input voltage can exceed the VHIGH limit or fall below the VLOW limit briefly between conversions
without causing an alert condition.

AUTOMATIC CONVERSION MODE
The automatic conversion mode configures the ADC to continually perform conversions without receiving "read"
instructions from the controller over the I2C interface. The mode is activated by writing a non-zero value into the
Cycle Time bits - D[7:5] - of the Configuration register (see Configuration Register). Once the ADC081C021
enters this mode, the internal oscillator is always enabled. The ADC's control logic samples the input at the
sample rate set by the cycle time bits. Although the conversion result is not transmitted by the 2-wire interface, it
is stored in the conversion result register and updates the various status registers of the device.
In automatic conversion mode, the out-of-range alert function is active and updates after every conversion. The
ADC can operate independently of the controller in automatic conversion mode. When the input signal goes "outof-range", an alert signal is sent to the controller. The controller can then read the status registers and determine
the source of the alert condition. Also, comparison and updating of the VMIN and VMAX registers occurs after every
conversion in automatic conversion mode. The controller can occasionally read the VMIN and/or VMAX registers to
determine the sampled input extremes. These register values persist until the user resets the VMIN and VMAX
registers. These two features are useful in system monitoring, peak detection, and sensing applications.
COMMUNICATING WITH THE ADC081C021
The ADC081C021's data registers are selected by the address pointer (see Address Pointer Register). To
read/write a specific data register, the pointer must be set to that register's address. The pointer is always written
at the beginning of a write operation. When the pointer needs to be updated for a read cycle, a write operation
must precede the read operation to set the pointer address correctly. On the other hand, if the pointer is preset
correctly, a read operation can occur without writing the address pointer register. The following timing diagrams
describe the various read and write operations supported by the ADC.

QUIET INTERFACE MODE
To improve performance at High Speed, operate the ADC in Quiet Interface Mode. This mode provides improved
INL and DNL performance in I2C Hs-Mode (3.4MHz). The Quiet Interface mode provides a maximum throughput
rate of 162ksps. Figure 35 describes how to read the conversion result register in this mode. Basically, the
Master needs to release SCL for at least 1µs before the MSB of every upper data byte. The diagram assumes
that the address pointer register is set to its default value.
Quiet Interface mode will only improve INL and DNL performance in Hs-Mode. Standard and Fast mode
performance is unaffected by the Quiet Interface mode.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 36. The analog supply is bypassed with a capacitor network
located close to the ADC081C021. The ADC uses the analog supply (VA) as its reference voltage, so it is very
important that VA be kept as clean as possible. Due to the low power requirements of the ADC081C021, it is
possible to use a precision reference as a power supply.
The bus pull-up resistors (RP) should be powered by the controller's supply. It is important that the pull-up
resistors are pulled to the same voltage potential as VA. This will ensure that the logic levels of all devices on the
bus are compatible. If the controller's supply is noisy, an appropriate bypass capacitor should be added between
the controller's supply pin and the pull-up resistors. For Hs-mode applications, this bypass capacitance will
improve the accuracy of the ADC.
The value of the pull-up resistors (RP) depends upon the characteristics of each particular I2C bus. The I2C
specification describes how to choose an appropriate value. As a general rule-of-thumb, we suggest using a 1kΩ
resistor for Hs-mode bus configurations and a 5kΩ resistor for Standard or Fast Mode bus configurations.
Depending upon the bus capacitance, these values may or may not be sufficient to meet the timing requirements
of the I2C bus specification. Please see the I2C specification for further information.

BUFFERED INPUT
A buffered input application circuit is shown in Figure 37. The analog input is buffered by a TI LMP7731. The
non-inverting amplifier configuration provides a buffered gain stage for a single ended source. This application
circuit is good for single-ended sensor interface. The input must have a DC bias level that keeps the ADC input
signal from swinging below GND or above the supply (+5V in this case).
The LM4132, with its 0.05% accuracy over temperature, is an excellent choice as a reference source for the
ADC081C021.

The ADC081C021 is easily used as an intelligent battery monitor. The simple circuit shown in Figure 38, uses
the ADC081C021, the LP2980 fixed reference, and a resistor divider to implement an intelligent battery monitor
with a window supervisory feature. The window supervisory feature is implemented by the "out of range" alert
function. When the battery is recharging, the Over Range Alert will indicate that the charging cycle is complete
(see Figure 39). When the battery is nearing depletion, the Under Range Alert will indicate that the battery is low
(see Figure 40).

The accurate voltage reading and the alert feature will allow a controller to improve the efficiency of a batterypowered device. During the discharge cycle, the controller can switch to a low-battery mode, safely suspend
operation, or report a precise battery level to the user. During the recharge cycle, the controller can implement an
intelligent recharge cycle, decreasing the charge rate when the battery charge nears capacity.
Trickle Charge Controller
While a battery is discharging, the ADC081C021 can be used to control a trickle charge to keep the battery near
full capacity (see Figure 41). When the alert output is active, the battery will recharge. An intelligent recharge
cycle will prevent over-charging and damaging the battery. With a trickle charge, the battery powered device can
be disconnected from the charger at any time with a full charge.

LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING
For best accuracy and minimum noise, the printed circuit board containing the ADC081C021 should have
separate analog and digital areas. The areas are defined by the locations of the analog and digital power planes.
Both of these planes should be located on the same board layer. A single, solid ground plane is preferred if
digital return current does not flow through the analog ground area. Frequently a single ground plane design will
utilize a "fencing" technique to prevent the mixing of analog and digital ground currents. Separate ground planes
should only be utilized when the fencing technique is inadequate. The separate ground planes must be
connected in one place, preferably near the ADC121C021. Special care is required to ensure that signals do not
pass over power plane boundaries. Return currents must always have a continuous return path below their
traces.
The ADC081C021 power supply should be bypassed with a 4.7µF and a 0.1µF capacitor as close as possible to
the device with the 0.1µF right at the device supply pin. The 4.7µF capacitor should be a tantalum type and the
0.1µF capacitor should be a low ESL type. The power supply for the ADC081C021 should only be used for
analog circuits.
Avoid crossover of analog and digital signals and keep the clock and data lines on the component side of the
board. The clock and data lines should have controlled impedances.
