NSC ADCS7476 1msps, 12-/10-/8-bit a/d converters in 6-lead sot-23 Datasheet

ADCS7476/ADCS7477/ADCS7478
1MSPS, 12-/10-/8-Bit A/D Converters in 6-Lead SOT-23
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
drop-in 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 SPI™,
QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and many common DSP serial interfaces.

The ADCS7476/77/78 uses the supply voltage as a reference. This enables 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 µW using a
+5V supply. All three converters are packaged in a 6-lead,
SOT-23 package that provides 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 −40˚C
to +125˚C.

VDD
Positive supply pin. These pins should be connected to a quiet +2.7V to +5.25V source and
bypassed to GND with 0.1 µF and 1 µF monolithic capacitors located within 1 cm of the
power pin. The ADCS7476/77/78 uses this power supply as a reference, so it should be
thoroughly bypassed.

GND
The ground return for the supply.
Digital data output. The output words are clocked out of this pin by the SCLK pin.

Note 6: Measured with the load circuit shown above, and defined as the time taken by the output to cross 1.0V.
Note 7: Measured with the load circuit shown above, and defined as the time taken by the output to cross 1.0V or 2.0V.
Note 8: t8 is derived from the time taken by the outputs to change by 0.5V with the loading circuit shown above. The measured number is then adjusted to remove
the effects of charging or discharging the 25pF capacitor. This means t8 is the true bus relinquish time, independent of the bus loading.
Note 9: All input signals are specified as tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% VDD) and timed from 1.6V.

ADCS7476/ADCS7477/ADCS7478
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.
OFFSET ERROR is the deviation of the first code transition
(000...000) to (000...001) from the ideal (i.e. GND + 0.5 LSB
for the ADCS7476 and ADCS7477, and GND + 1 LSB for the
ADCS7478).
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.
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.
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.
www.national.com
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
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 a comprehensive specification which includes gain error, linearity error, and offset
error.

1.0 ADCS7476/77/78 OPERATION
The ADCS7476/77/78 are successive-approximation
analog-to-digital converters designed around a chargeredistribution digital-to-analog converter. Simplified schematics of the ADCS7476/77/78 in both track and hold operation are shown in Figures 4 and 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
The SDATA pin will be placed back into 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
2.0 USING THE ADCS7476/77/78
Serial interface timing diagrams for the ADCS7476/77/78 are
shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3. CS is chip select, which
initiates conversions on the ADCS7476/77/78 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
as a serial data stream.
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 on the falling
edge of CS. The converter moves from hold mode to track
mode on the 13th rising edge of SCLK (see Figure 1, 2, or 3).

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.

Figure 6, while the ideal transfer characteristic for the

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 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.
3.0 ADCS7476/77/78 TRANSFER FUNCTION

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.
4.0 SAMPLE CIRCUIT
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
FIGURE 8. Sample 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 lowdropout 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.
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.
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 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.

13.0 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 below. 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 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 µs, 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 · 2 µs = 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.
To exit shutdown mode, bring CS back low. Upon bringing
CS low, the ADCS7476/77/78 will begin powering up. Power
up typically takes 1 µs. 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
powered-up after 16 SCLK cycles.
11.0 POWER-UP TIMING
The ADCS7476/77/78 typically requires 1 µs 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.
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. The part
may then be placed into either normal mode or the shutdown
mode, as described in Sections 8.0 and 9.0.
