ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● PIN FOR PIN WITH ADS7841
The ADS8341 is a 4-channel, 16-bit sampling Analog-toDigital (A/D) converter with a synchronous serial interface.
Typical power dissipation is 8mW at a 100kHz throughput
rate and a +5V supply. The reference voltage (VREF) can be
varied between 500mV and VCC, providing a corresponding
input voltage range of 0V to VREF. The device includes a
shutdown mode that reduces power dissipation to under
15µW. The ADS8341 is tested down to 2.7V operation.
● SINGLE SUPPLY: 2.7V to 5V
● 4-CHANNEL SINGLE-ENDED OR
2-CHANNEL DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
● UP TO 100kHz CONVERSION RATE
● 86dB SINAD
● SERIAL INTERFACE
● SSOP-16 PACKAGE
Low power, high speed, and an onboard multiplexer make
the ADS8341 ideal for battery-operated systems such as
personal digital assistants, portable multi-channel data loggers, and measurement equipment. The serial interface also
provides low-cost isolation for remote data acquisition. The
ADS8341 is available in an SSOP-16 package and is ensured over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The input current on the analog inputs depends on the
conversion rate of the device. During the sample period, the
source must charge the internal sampling capacitor (typically 25pF). After the capacitor has been fully charged, there
is no further input current. The rate of charge transfer from
the analog source to the converter is a function of conversion rate.
The ADS8341 is a classic Successive Approximation Register (SAR) A/D converter. The architecture is based on
capacitive redistribution which inherently includes a sampleand-hold function. The converter is fabricated on a 0.6µm
CMOS process.
The basic operation of the ADS8341 is shown in Figure 1.
The device requires an external reference and an external
clock. It operates from a single supply of 2.7V to 5.25V.
The external reference can be any voltage between 500mV
and +VCC. The value of the reference voltage directly sets
the input range of the converter. The average reference
input current depends on the conversion rate of the
ADS8341.

When the converter enters the hold mode, the voltage

voltage on the –IN input is limited between –0.2V and
1.25V, allowing the input to reject small signals that are
common to both the +IN and –IN input. The +IN input has
a range of –0.2V to +VCC + 0.2V.

rate and reference voltage. As the current from the reference
is drawn on each bit decision, clocking the converter more
quickly during a given conversion period will not reduce
overall current drain from the reference.
REFERENCE INPUT
The external reference sets the analog input range. The
ADS8341 will operate with a reference in the range of
500mV to +VCC. Keep in mind that the analog input is the
difference between the +IN input and the –IN input, see
Figure 2. For example, in the single-ended mode, a 1.25V
reference, with the COM pin grounded, the selected input
channel (CH0 - CH3) will properly digitize a signal in the
range of 0V to 1.25V. If the COM pin is connected to 0.5V,
the input range on the selected channel is 0.5V to 1.75V.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
Figure 3 shows the typical operation of the ADS8341’s
digital interface. This diagram assumes that the source of the
digital signals is a microcontroller or digital signal processor
with a basic serial interface (note that the digital inputs are
over-voltage tolerant up to 5.5V, regardless of +VCC). Each
communication between the processor and the converter
consists of eight clock cycles. One complete conversion can
be accomplished with three serial communications, for a
total of 24 clock cycles on the DCLK input.
There are several critical items concerning the reference
input and its wide voltage range. As the reference voltage is
reduced, the analog voltage weight of each digital output
code is also reduced. This is often referred to as the LSB
(least significant bit) size and is equal to the reference
voltage divided by 65,536. Any offset or gain error inherent
in the A/D converter will appear to increase, in terms of LSB
size, as the reference voltage is reduced. For example, if the
offset of a given converter is 2LSBs with a 2.5V reference,
then it will typically be 10LSBs with a 0.5V reference. In
each case, the actual offset of the device is the same, 76µV.
The first eight cycles are used to provide the control byte via
the DIN pin. When the converter has enough information
about the following conversion to set the input multiplexer
appropriately, it enters the acquisition (sample) mode. After
three more clock cycles, the control byte is complete and the
converter enters the conversion mode. At this point, the
input sample-and-hold goes into the hold mode. The next 16
clock cycles accomplish the actual analog-to-digital conversion.
Likewise, the noise or uncertainty of the digitized output will
increase with lower LSB size. With a reference voltage of
500mV, the LSB size is 7.6µV. This level is below the
internal noise of the device. As a result, the digital output
code will not be stable and vary around a mean value by a
number of LSBs. The distribution of output codes will be
gaussian and the noise can be reduced by simply averaging
consecutive conversion results or applying a digital filter.
Control Byte
Also shown in Figure 3 is the placement and order of the
control bits within the control byte. Tables III and IV give
detailed information about these bits. The first bit, the ‘S’
bit, must always be HIGH and indicates the start of the
control byte. The ADS8341 will ignore inputs on the DIN
pin until the start bit is detected. The next three bits (A2 A0) select the active input channel or channels of the input
multiplexer (see Tables I and II and Figure 2).
With a lower reference voltage, care should be taken to
provide a clean layout including adequate bypassing, a clean
(low-noise, low-ripple) power supply, a low-noise reference,
and a low-noise input signal. Because the LSB size is lower,
the converter will also be more sensitive to nearby digital
signals and electromagnetic interference.
The voltage into the VREF input is not buffered and directly
drives the Capacitor Digital-to-Analog Converter (CDAC)
portion of the ADS8341. Typically, the input current is
13µA with a 2.5V reference. This value will vary by
microamps depending on the result of the conversion. The
reference current diminishes directly with both conversion

Control Byte.
TABLE V. Power-Down Selection.
The SGL/DIF bit controls the multiplexer input mode: either
single-ended (HIGH) or differential (LOW). In single-ended
mode, the selected input channel is referenced to the COM
pin. In differential mode, the two selected inputs provide a
differential input. See Tables I and II and Figure 2 for more
information. The last two bits (PD1 - PD0) select the powerdown mode, as shown in Table V. If both inputs are HIGH,
the device is always powered up. If both inputs are LOW, the
device enters a power-down mode between conversions.
When a new conversion is initiated, the device will resume
normal operation instantly—no delay is needed to allow the
device to power up and the very first conversion will be valid.
PD0 = 1 for external clock mode. After enabling the required clock mode, only then should the ADS8341 be set to
power-down between conversions (i.e., PD1 = PD0 = 0).
The ADS8341 maintains the clock mode it was in prior to
entering the power-down modes.
External Clock Mode
Clock Modes
The ADS8341 can be used with an external serial clock or
an internal clock to perform the successive-approximation
conversion. In both clock modes, the external clock shifts
data in and out of the device. Internal clock mode is selected
when PD1 is HIGH and PD0 is LOW.
If the user decides to switch from one clock mode to the
other, an extra conversion cycle will be required before the
ADS8341 can switch to the new mode. The extra cycle is
required because the PD0 and PD1 control bits need to be
written to the ADS8341 prior to the change in clock modes.
When power is first applied to the ADS8341, the user must
set the desired clock mode. It can be set by writing PD1
= 1 and PD0 = 0 for internal clock mode or PD1 = 1 and
In external clock mode, the external clock not only shifts
data in and out of the ADS8341, it also controls the A/D
conversion steps. BUSY will go HIGH for one clock period
after the last bit of the control byte is shifted in. Successiveapproximation bit decisions are made and appear at DOUT
on each of the next 16 DCLK falling edges (see Figure 3).
Figure 4 shows the BUSY timing in external clock mode.
Since one clock cycle of the serial clock is consumed with
BUSY going high (while the MSB decision is being made),
16 additional clocks must be given to clock out all 16 bits
of data; thus, one conversion takes a minimum of 25 clock
cycles to fully read the data. Since most microprocessors
communicate in 8-bit transfers, this means that an additional
transfer must be made to capture the LSB.
There are two ways of handling this requirement. One is
shown in Figure 3, where the beginning of the next control
byte appears at the same time the LSB is being clocked out
of the ADS8341. This method allows for maximum throughput and 24 clock cycles per conversion.

The other method is shown in Figure 5, which uses 32 clock
cycles per conversion; the last seven clock cycles simply
shift out zeros on the DOUT line. BUSY and DOUT go into
a high-impedance state when CS goes high; after the next CS
falling edge, BUSY will go LOW.

In internal clock mode, the ADS8341 generates its own
conversion clock internally. This relieves the microprocessor from having to generate the SAR conversion clock and
allows the conversion result to be read back at the processor’s
convenience, at any clock rate from 0MHz to 2.0MHz.
BUSY goes LOW at the start of conversion and then returns
HIGH when the conversion is complete. During the conversion, BUSY will remain LOW for a maximum of 8µs. Also,
during the conversion, DCLK should remain LOW to achieve
the best noise performance. The conversion result is stored
in an internal register; the data may be clocked out of this
register any time after the conversion is complete.

If CS is LOW when BUSY goes LOW following a conversion, the next falling edge of the external serial clock will
write out the MSB on the DOUT line. The remaining bits
(D14-D0) will be clocked out on each successive clock cycle
following the MSB. If CS is HIGH when BUSY goes LOW
then the DOUT line will remain in tri-state until CS goes
LOW, as shown in Figure 6. CS does not need to remain
LOW once a conversion has started. Note that BUSY is not
tri-stated when CS goes HIGH in internal clock mode.
Data can be shifted in and out of the ADS8341 at clock rates

Data Format
The ADS8341 output data is in straight binary format, as
shown in Figure 7. This figure shows the ideal output code
for the given input voltage and does not include the effects
of offset, gain, or noise.
If DCLK is active and CS is LOW while the ADS8341 is in
auto power-down mode, the device will continue to dissipate
some power in the digital logic. The power can be reduced
to a minimum by keeping CS HIGH. The differences in
supply current for these two cases are shown in Figure 9.

POWER DISSIPATION
There are three power modes for the ADS8341: full power
(PD1 - PD0 = 11B), auto power-down (PD1 - PD0 = 00B),
and shutdown (SHDN LOW). The affects of these modes
varies depending on how the ADS8341 is being operated.
For example, at full conversion rate and 24-clocks per
conversion, there is very little difference between full power
mode and auto power-down, a shutdown (SHDN LOW) will
not lower power dissipation.
When operating at full-speed and 24-clocks per conversion
(as shown in Figure 3), the ADS8341 spends most of its time
acquiring or converting. There is little time for auto powerdown, assuming that this mode is active. Thus, the difference between full power mode and auto power-down is
negligible. If the conversion rate is decreased by simply
slowing the frequency of the DCLK input, the two modes
remain approximately equal. However, if the DCLK frequency is kept at the maximum rate during a conversion, but
conversion are simply done less often, then the difference
between the two modes is dramatic. Figure 8 shows the
difference between reducing the DCLK frequency (“scaling” DCLK to match the conversion rate) or maintaining
DCLK at the highest frequency and reducing the number of
conversion per second. In the later case, the converter
spends an increasing percentage of its time in power-down
mode (assuming the auto power-down mode is active).

Operating the ADS8341 in auto power-down mode will
result in the lowest power dissipation, and there is no
conversion time “penalty” on power-up. The very first
conversion will be valid. SHDN can be used to force an
immediate power-down.
15
NOISE
The noise floor of the ADS8341 itself is extremely low, as
can be seen from Figures 10 thru 13, and is much lower than
competing A/D converters. The ADS8341 was tested at both
5V and 2.7V and in both the internal and external clock
modes. A low-level DC input was applied to the analog
input pins and the converter was put through 5,000 conversions. The digital output of the A/D converter will vary in
output code due to the internal noise of the ADS8341. This
is true for all 16-bit SAR-type A/D converters. Using a
histogram to plot the output codes, the distribution should
appear bell-shaped with the peak of the bell curve representing the nominal code for the input value. The ±1σ, ±2σ, and
±3σ distributions will represent the 68.3%, 95.5%, and
99.7%, respectively, of all codes. The transition noise can be
calculated by dividing the number of codes measured by 6
and this will yield the ±3σ distribution or 99.7% of all codes.
Statistically, up to 3 codes could fall outside the distribution
when executing 1000 conversions. The ADS8341, with < 3
output codes for the ±3σ distribution, will yield a < ±0.5
LSB transition noise at 5V operation. Remember, to achieve
this low noise performance, the peak-to-peak noise of the
input signal and reference must be < 50µV.

AVERAGING
The noise of the A/D converter can be compensated by
averaging the digital codes. By averaging conversion results,
transition noise will be reduced by a factor of 1/√n, where n
is the number of averages. For example, averaging 4 conversion results will reduce the transition noise by 1/2 to ±0.25
LSBs. Averaging should only be used for input signals with
frequencies near DC.
For AC signals, a digital filter can be used to low-pass filter
and decimate the output codes. This works in a similar
manner to averaging; for every decimation by 2, the signalto-noise ratio will improve 3dB.

LAYOUT
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the
physical layout of the ADS8341 circuitry. This is particularly true if the reference voltage is low and/or the conversion rate is high.
The basic SAR architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden
changes on the power supply, reference, ground connections, and digital inputs that occur just prior to latching the
output of the analog comparator. Thus, during any single
conversion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are n “windows” in which large external transient voltages can easily
affect the conversion result. Such glitches might originate
from switching power supplies, nearby digital logic, and
high power devices. The degree of error in the digital output
depends on the reference voltage, layout, and the exact
timing of the external event. The error can change if the
external event changes in time with respect to the DCLK
input.
With this in mind, power to the ADS8341 should be clean
and well bypassed. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor should
be placed as close to the device as possible. In addition, a
1µF to 10µF capacitor and a 5Ω or 10Ω series resistor may
be used to low-pass filter a noisy supply.
ADS8341
SBAS136D
The reference should be similarly bypassed with a 0.1µF
capacitor. Again, a series resistor and large capacitor can be
used to low-pass filter the reference voltage. If the reference
voltage originates from an op amp, make sure that it can
drive the bypass capacitor without oscillation (the series
resistor can help in this case). The ADS8341 draws very
little current from the reference on average, but it does place
larger demands on the reference circuitry over short periods
of time (on each rising edge of DCLK during a conversion).
The ADS8341 architecture offers no inherent rejection of
noise or voltage variation in regards to the reference input.
This is of particular concern when the reference input is tied
to the power supply. Any noise and ripple from the supply
will appear directly in the digital results. While high frequency noise can be filtered out as discussed in the previous
paragraph, voltage variation due to line frequency (50Hz or
60Hz) can be difficult to remove.
The GND pin should be connected to a clean ground point.
In many cases, this will be the “analog” ground. Avoid
connections that are too near the grounding point of a
microcontroller or digital signal processor. If needed, run a
ground trace directly from the converter to the power supply
entry point. The ideal layout will include an analog ground
plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog
circuitry.
