GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7356 is a dual, 12-bit, high speed, low power, successive
approximation ADC that operates from a single 2.5 V power
supply and features throughput rates up to 5 MSPS. The device
contains two ADCs, each preceded by a low noise, wide bandwidth
track-and-hold circuit that can handle input frequencies in excess
of 110 MHz.
1.

The conversion process and data acquisition use standard control
inputs allowing for easy interfacing to microprocessors or DSPs.
The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of CS; a conversion
is also initiated at this point. The conversion time is determined
by the SCLK frequency.
The AD7356 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. With a 2.5 V
supply and a 5 MSPS throughput rate, the part consumes typically
14 mA. The part also offers a flexible power/throughput rate
management option.
The analog input range for the part is the differential common
mode ±VREF/2. The AD7356 has an on-chip 2.048 V reference
that can be overdriven when an external reference is preferred.
The AD7356 is available in a 16-lead thin shrink small outline
package (TSSOP).

3.
Two Complete ADC Functions.
These functions allow simultaneous sampling and conversion
of two channels. The conversion result of both channels
is simultaneously available on separate data lines or in
succession on one data line if only one serial port is
available.
High Throughput with Low Power Consumption.
The AD7356 offers a 5 MSPS throughput rate with 36 mW
power consumption.
No Conversion Latency.
The AD7356 features two standard successive approximation
ADCs with accurate control of the sampling instant via a
CS input and, once off, conversion control.

Description
Analog Inputs of ADC A. These analog inputs form a fully differential pair.
Reference Decoupling Capacitor Pins. Decoupling capacitors are connected between these pins and the
REFGND pin to decouple the reference buffer for each respective ADC. It is recommended to decouple each
reference pin with a 10 µF capacitor. Provided the output is buffered, the on-chip reference can be taken from
these pins and applied externally to the rest of the system. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.048 V
and appears at these pins. These pins can also be overdriven by an external reference. The input voltage range
for the external reference is 2.048 V + 100 mV to VDD.
Reference Ground. This is the ground reference point for the reference circuitry on the AD7356. Refer any
external reference signal to this REFGND voltage. Decoupling capacitors must be placed between this pin and
the REFA and REFB pins. Connect the REFGND pin to the AGND plane of a system.
Analog Ground. This is the ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7356. All analog input
signals should be referred to this AGND voltage. The AGND and DGND voltages should ideally be at the same
potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
Analog Inputs of ADC B. These analog inputs form a fully differential pair.
Power Supply Input. The VDD range for the AD7356 is 2.5 V ± 10%. Decouple the supply to AGND with a 0.1 µF
capacitor in parallel with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor.
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual functions of initiating conversions on the
AD7356 and framing the serial data transfer.
Digital Ground. This is the ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7356. Connect this pin to
the DGND plane of a system. The DGND and AGND voltages should ideally be at the same potential and must
not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
Serial Data Outputs. The data output is supplied to each pin as a serial data stream. The bits are clocked out
on the falling edge of the SCLK input. To access the 12 bits of data from the AD7356, 14 SCLK falling edges are
required. The data simultaneously appears on both data output pins from the simultaneous conversions of
both ADCs. The data stream consists of two leading zeros followed by the 12 bits of conversion data. The data
is provided MSB first. If CS is held low for 16 SCLK cycles rather than 14 on the AD7356, then two trailing zeros
appear after the 12 bits of data. If CS is held low for a further 16 SCLK cycles on either SDATAA or SDATAB, the
data from the other ADC follows on the SDATA pins. This allows data from a simultaneous conversion on both
ADCs to be gathered in serial format on either SDATAA or SDATAB.
Serial Clock. Logic input. A serial clock input provides the serial clock for accessing the data from the AD7356.
This clock is also used as the clock source for the conversion process.
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the interface operates.
The voltage at this pin may be different than the voltage at VDD. The VDRIVE supply should be decoupled to
DGND with a 0.1 µF capacitor in parallel with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor.

INL is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (1 LSB below
the first code transition) and full scale (1 LSB above the last
code transition).
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at
full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV p-p sine wave
applied to the ADC VDD supply of frequency, fS. The frequency
of the input varies from 5 kHz to 25 MHz.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
DNL is the difference between the measured and the ideal
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
where:
Pf is the power at frequency, f, in the ADC output.
Pf S is the power at frequency, fS, in the ADC output.
Negative Full-Scale Error
Negative full-scale error is the deviation of the first code
transition (00 … 000) to (00 … 001) from the ideal (that is,
−VREF + 0.5 LSB) after the midscale error has been adjusted out.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output
at full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV p-p sine
wave applied to the common-mode voltage of VIN+ and VIN−
of frequency, fS.
Negative Full-Scale Error Match
Negative full-scale error match is the difference in negative fullscale error between the two ADCs.
Midscale Error
Midscale error is the deviation of the midscale code transition
(011 … 111) to (100 … 000) from the ideal (that is, 0 V).
Midscale Error Match
Midscale error match is the difference in midscale error
between the two ADCs.
Positive Full-Scale Error
Positive full-scale error is the deviation of the last code
transition (111 … 110) to (111 … 111) from the ideal (that is,
VREF − 1.5 LSB) after the midscale error has been adjusted out.
Positive Full-Scale Error Match
Positive full-scale error match is the difference in positive fullscale error between the two ADCs.
ADC-to-ADC Isolation
ADC-to-ADC isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between ADC A and ADC B. It is measured by applying a fullscale 1 MHz sine wave signal to one of the two ADCs and
applying a full-scale signal of variable frequency to the other
ADC. The ADC-to-ADC isolation is defined as the ratio of the
power of the 1 MHz signal on the converted ADC to the power
of the noise signal on the other ADC that appears in the FFT.
The noise frequency on the unselected channel varies from
100 kHz to 2.5 MHz.
PSRR (dB) = 10 log(Pf/Pf S)
CMRR (dB) = 10 log(Pf/Pf S)
where:
Pf is the power at frequency (f) in the ADC output.
Pf S is the power at frequency (fS) in the ADC output.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end
of a conversion. The track-and-hold acquisition time is the time
required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach
its final value, within ±0.5 LSB, after the end of a conversion.
Signal-to-(Noise and Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the measured ratio of signal-to-(noise and distortion)
at the output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the
fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is
dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise.
The theoretical SINAD for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine
wave input is given by
SINAD = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Thus, for a 12-bit converter, SINAD is 74 dB and for a 14-bit
converter, SINAD is 86 dB.

AD7356
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the
fundamental. For the AD7356, it is defined as
THD (dB ) = −20 log
The AD7356 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves and 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 sum of the fundamentals expressed in decibels.
V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2
V1
where:
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second
through the sixth harmonics.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is 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 ADCs where the harmonics are buried in
the noise floor, it is a noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa
and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms
are those for which neither m nor n is 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).
Thermal Hysteresis
Thermal hysteresis is defined as the absolute maximum change
of reference output voltage after the device is cycled through
temperature from either
T_HYS+ = +25°C to TMAX to +25°C
T_HYS– = +25°C to TMIN to +25°C
Thermal hysteresis is expressed in ppm using the following
equation:
VHYS (ppm) =
VREF (25°C ) − VREF (T _ HYS)
× 10 6
VREF (25°C )
where:
VREF(25°C) is VREF at 25°C.
VREF(T_HYS) is the maximum change of VREF at T_HYS+
or T_HYS–.

AD7356
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD7356 is a high speed, dual, 12-bit, single-supply, successive
approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device
operates from a 2.5 V power supply and features throughput
rates of up to 5 MSPS.
The AD7356 contains two on-chip differential track-and-hold
amplifiers, two successive approximation ADCs, and a serial
interface with two separate data output pins. The part is housed
in a 16-lead TSSOP, offering the user considerable space-saving
advantages over alternative solutions.
The serial clock input accesses data from the part but also provides
the clock source for each successive approximation ADC. The
AD7356 has an on-chip 2.048 V reference. If an external reference
is desired the internal reference can be overdriven with a reference
value ranging from (2.048 V + 100 mV) to VDD. If the internal
reference is to be used elsewhere in the system, then the
reference output needs to be buffered first. The differential
analog input range for the AD7356 is VCM ± VREF/2.
When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 15), SW3 opens
and SW1 and SW2 move to Position B, causing the comparator
to become unbalanced. Both inputs are disconnected once the
conversion begins. The control logic and charge redistribution
DACs are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge
from the sampling capacitor arrays to bring the comparator
back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is
rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic
generates the ADC output code. The output impedances of
the sources driving the VIN+ and VIN− pins must be matched;
otherwise, the two inputs may have different settling times,
resulting in errors.

ANALOG INPUT STRUCTURE
The AD7356 has two successive approximation ADCs, each
based around two capacitive DACs. Figure 14 and Figure 15
show simplified schematics of one of these ADCs in acquisition
and conversion phase. The ADC comprises a control logic, a
SAR, and two capacitive DACs. In Figure 14 (the acquisition
phase), SW3 is closed, SW1 and SW2 are in Position A, the
comparator is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling
capacitor arrays acquire the differential signal on the input.
Figure 16 shows the equivalent circuit of the analog input structure
of the AD7356. The four diodes provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input
signals never exceed the supply rails by more than 300 mV.
This causes these diodes to become forward biased and start
conducting into the substrate. These diodes can conduct up
to 10 mA without causing irreversible damage to the part.

AD7356
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, limit the
source impedance to low values. The maximum source impedance
depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated. THD
increases as the source impedance increases and performance
degrades. Figure 17 shows a graph of the THD vs. the analog
input signal frequency for different source impedances.

Figure 18 shows a graph of the THD vs. the analog input
frequency while sampling at 5 MSPS. In this case, the source
impedance is 33 Ω.
This results in the span of each input being CM ± VREF/2. This
voltage has to be set up externally. When setting up the CM,
ensure that VIN+ and VIN− remain within GND/VDD. When a
conversion takes place, CM is rejected, resulting in a virtually
noise-free signal of amplitude, –VREF to +VREF, corresponding
to the digital codes of 0 to 4095 for the AD7356.
DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
Differential operation requires VIN+ and VIN− to be driven
simultaneously with two equal signals that are 180° out of phase.
Because not all applications have a signal preconditioned for
differential operation, there is often a need to perform a singleended-to-differential conversion.

The amplitude of the differential signal is the difference between

by two signals each of amplitude (VREF) that are 180° out of phase.
This amplitude of the differential signal is, therefore, −VREF to
+VREF peak-to-peak regardless of the common mode (CM).

For ac applications, removing high frequency components from
the analog input signal is recommended by the use of an RC
low-pass filter on the analog input pins. In applications where
harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical, the
analog input should be driven from a low impedance source.
Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance
of the ADC and may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.
The choice of the op amp is a function of the particular application.

ANALOG INPUT FREQUENCY (kHz)
Figure 18. THD vs. Analog Input Frequency
An ideal method of applying differential drive to the AD7356 is
to use a differential amplifier such as the AD8138. This device
can be used as a single-ended-to-differential amplifier or as a
differential-to-differential amplifier. The AD8138 also provides
common-mode level shifting. Figure 20 shows how the AD8138
can be used as a single-ended-to-differential amplifier. The
positive and negative outputs of the AD8138 are connected to
the respective inputs on the ADC via a pair of series resistors to
minimize the effects of switched capacitance on the front end of
the ADC. The architecture of the AD8138 results in outputs
that are very highly balanced over a wide frequency range
without requiring tightly matched external components.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
Figure 20. Using the AD8138 as a Single-Ended-to-Differential Amplifier
The AD7356 allows the choice of a very low temperature drift
internal voltage reference or an external reference. The internal
2.048 V reference of the AD7356 provides excellent performance
and can be used in almost all applications. When the internal
reference is used, the reference voltage is present on the REFA
and REFB pins. These pins should be decoupled to REFGND
with 10 μF capacitors. The internal reference voltage can be
used elsewhere in the system, provided it is buffered externally.
If the analog inputs source being used has zero impedance, all
four resistors (RG1, RG2, RF1, and RF2) should be the same value
as each other. If the source has a 50 Ω impedance and a 50 Ω
termination, for example, increase the value of RG2 by 25 Ω to
balance this parallel impedance on the input and thus ensure
that both the positive and negative analog inputs have the
same gain. The outputs of the amplifier are perfectly matched
balanced differential outputs of identical amplitude, and are
exactly 180° out of phase.
The REFA and REFB pins can also be overdriven with an
external voltage reference if desired. The applied reference
voltage can range from 2.048 V + 100 mV to VDD. A common
choice is to use an external 2.5 V reference such as the ADR441
or ADR431.
Op Amp Pair
An op amp pair can be used to directly couple a differential signal
to one of the analog input pairs of the AD7356. The circuit
configurations shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22 show how
an op amp pair can be used to convert a single-ended signal
into a differential signal for a bipolar and unipolar input signal,
respectively.
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding for the AD7356 is straight binary. The
designed code transitions occur at successive LSB values (1 LSB,
2 LSBs, and so on). The LSB size is (2 × VREF)/4096. The ideal
transfer characteristic of the AD7356 is shown in Figure 23.
The voltage applied to Point A sets up the common-mode
voltage. In both diagrams, it is connected in some way to the
reference. The AD8022 is a suitable dual op amp that can be
used in this configuration to provide differential drive to the
AD7356.

AD7356
MODES OF OPERATION
The mode of operation of the AD7356 is selected by controlling
the logic state of the CS signal during a conversion. There are
three possible modes of operation: normal mode, partial powerdown mode, and full power-down mode. After a conversion is
initiated, the point at which CS is pulled high determines which
power-down mode, if any, the device enters. Similarly, if already
in a power-down mode, CS can control whether the device returns
to normal operation or remains in a power-down mode.
These modes of operation are designed to provide flexible power
management options. These options can be chosen to optimize
the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for the differing
application requirements.
NORMAL MODE
Normal mode is intended for applications needing the fastest
throughput rates because the user does not have to worry about
any power-up times because the AD7356 remains fully powered
at all times. Figure 24 shows the general diagram of the
operation of the AD7356 in normal mode.

LEADING ZEROS + CONVERSION RESULT
06505-018
SCLK
When a data transfer is complete and SDATAA and SDATAB
have returned to three-state, another conversion can be initiated
after the quiet time, tQUIET, has elapsed by bringing CS low again
(assuming the required acquisition time has been allowed).
PARTIAL POWER-DOWN MODE
Partial power-down mode is intended for use in applications in
which slower throughput rates are required. Either the ADC is
powered down between each conversion or a series of conversions
can be performed at a high throughput rate and the ADC is then
powered down between these bursts of several conversions. It is
recommended that the AD7356 not remain in partial powerdown mode for longer than 100 μs. When the AD7356 is in
partial power-down, all analog circuitry is powered down
except for the on-chip reference and reference buffers.
To enter partial power-down mode, the conversion process
must be interrupted by bringing CS high any time after the
second falling edge of SCLK and before the 10th falling edge of
SCLK, as shown in Figure 25. When CS has been brought high
in this window of SCLKs, the part enters partial power-down,
the conversion that was initiated by the falling edge of CS is
terminated, and SDATAA and SDATAB go back into three-state.
If CS is brought high before the second SCLK falling edge, the
part remains in normal mode and does not power down. This
avoids accidental power-down due to glitches on the CS line.
Figure 24. Normal Mode Operation
Once 32 SCLK cycles have elapsed, the SDATA line returns to
three-state on the 32nd SCLK falling edge. If CS is brought high
prior to this, the SDATA line returns to three-state at that point.
Thus, CS may idle low after 32 SCLK cycles until it is brought
high again sometime prior to the next conversion. The bus still
returns to three-state upon completion of the dual result read.

The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, as described
in the Serial Interface section. To ensure that the part remains
fully powered up at all times, CS must remain low until at least
10 SCLK falling edges have elapsed after the falling edge of CS.
If CS is brought high any time after the 10th SCLK falling edge
but before the 14th SCLK falling edge, the part remains powered
up; however, the conversion is terminated and SDATAA and
SDATAB go back into three-state. To complete the conversion
and access the conversion result for the AD7356, 14 serial clock
cycles are required. The SDATA lines do not return to threestate after 14 SCLK cycles have elapsed but instead do so when
CS is brought high again. If CS is left low for another two SCLK
cycles, two trailing zeros are clocked out after the data. If CS is
left low for a further 14 SCLK cycles, the result for the other
ADC on board is also accessed on the same SDATA line (see
Figure 31 and the Serial Interface section).
Figure 25. Entering Partial Power-Down Mode
To exit this mode of operation and power up the AD7356 again,
perform a dummy conversion. On the falling edge of CS, the
device begins to power up, and continues to power up as long
as CS is held low until after the falling edge of the 10th SCLK.
The device is fully powered up after approximately 200 ns have
elapsed (or one full conversion) and valid data results from the
next conversion, as shown in Figure 26. If CS is brought high
before the second falling edge of SCLK, the AD7356 again goes
into partial power-down. This avoids accidental power-up due
to glitches on the CS line. Although the device may begin to
power up on the falling edge of CS, it powers down again on the
rising edge of CS. If the AD7356 is already in partial power-down
mode and CS is brought high between the second and 10th
falling edges of SCLK, the device enters full power-down mode.
Rev. B | Page 15 of 20
AD7356
Data Sheet
To reach full power-down, the next conversion cycle must be
interrupted in the same way, as shown in Figure 27. When CS is
brought high in this window of SCLKs, the part fully powers down.
FULL POWER-DOWN MODE
Full power-down mode is intended for use in applications where
throughput rates slower than those in partial power-down mode
are required because power-up from a full power-down takes
substantially longer than that from a partial power-down. This
mode is more suited to applications in which a series of conversions
performed at a relatively high throughput rate are followed by a
long period of inactivity and, thus, power-down. When the
AD7356 is in full power-down mode, all analog circuitry is
powered down including the on-chip reference and reference
buffers. Full power-down mode is entered in a similar way as
partial power-down mode, except that the timing sequence shown
in Figure 25 must be executed twice. The conversion process
must be interrupted in a similar fashion by bringing CS high
anywhere after the second falling edge of SCLK and before the
10th falling edge of SCLK. The device enters partial power-down
mode at this point.
Note that it is not necessary to complete the 14 or 16 SCLKs
once CS has been brought high to enter a power-down mode.
To exit full power-down mode and power-up the AD7356, perform
a dummy conversion, similar to powering up from partial powerdown. On the falling edge of CS, the device begins to power up as
long as CS is held low until after the falling edge of the 10th SCLK.
The required power-up time must elapse before a conversion
can be initiated, as shown in Figure 28.

AD7356
The AD7356 has two power-down modes: partial power-down
and full power-down, which are described in detail in the Normal
Mode, Partial Power-Down Mode, and Full Power-Down Mode
sections. This section deals with the power-up time required when
coming out of any of these modes. Note that the recommended
decoupling capacitors must be in place on the REFA and REFB
pins for the power-up times to apply.
To power up from partial power-down mode, one dummy cycle
is required. The device is fully powered up after approximately
200 ns have elapsed from the falling edge of CS. When the
partial power-up time has elapsed, the ADC is fully powered
up, and the input signal is acquired properly. The quiet time,
tQUIET, must still be allowed from the point where the bus goes
back into three-state after the dummy conversion to the next
falling edge of CS.
To power up from full power-down mode, approximately 6 ms
should be allowed from the falling edge of CS, shown in Figure 28
as tPOWER-UP2.
Alternatively, if the part is to be placed into full power-down
mode when the supplies are applied, three dummy cycles must
be initiated. The first dummy cycle must hold CS low until after
the 10th SCLK falling edge; the second and third dummy cycles
place the part into full power-down mode (see Figure 27 and
the Modes of Operation section).
POWER vs. THROUGHPUT RATE
The power consumption of the AD7356 varies with the throughput
rate. When using very slow throughput rates and as fast an
SCLK frequency as possible, the various power-down options
can be used to make significant power savings. However, the
AD7356 quiescent current is low enough that even without
using the power-down options, there is a noticeable variation in
power consumption with sampling rate. This is true whether a
fixed SCLK value is used or it is scaled with the sampling rate.
Figure 29 shows a plot of power vs. throughput rate when operating
in normal mode for a fixed maximum SCLK frequency and a
SCLK frequency that scales with the sampling rate. The internal
reference was used for Figure 29.
Note that during power-up from partial power-down mode, the
track-and-hold, which is in hold mode while the part is powered
down, returns to track mode after the first SCLK edge that the
part receives after the falling edge of CS.

POWER (mW)
When power supplies are first applied to the AD7356, the ADC
can power up in either of the power-down modes or in normal
mode. Because of this, it is best to allow a dummy cycle to elapse to
ensure that the part is fully powered up before attempting a valid
conversion. Likewise, if the part is to be kept in partial power-down
mode immediately after the supplies are applied, then two dummy
cycles must be initiated. The first dummy cycle must hold CS low
until after the 10th SCLK falling edge; in the second cycle, CS must
be brought high between the second and 10th SCLK falling edges
(see Figure 25).

Data Sheet
SERIAL INTERFACE
A minimum of 14 serial clock cycles is required to perform the
conversion process and to access data from one conversion on
either data line of the AD7356. CS falling low provides the
leading zero to be read in by the microcontroller or DSP. The
remaining data is then clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling
edges, beginning with a second leading zero. Thus, the first falling
clock edge on the serial clock has the leading zero provided and
also clocks out the second leading zero. The 12-bit result then
follows with the final bit in the data transfer and is valid on the
14th falling edge (having been clocked out on the previous (13th)
falling edge). In applications with a slower SCLK, it may be
possible to read in data on each SCLK rising edge depending on
the SCLK frequency. With a slower SCLK, the first rising edge,
of SCLK after the CS falling edge has the second leading zero
provided, and the 13th rising SCLK edge has DB0 provided.
Figure 30 shows the detailed timing diagram for serial interfacing
to the AD7356. The serial clock provides the conversion clock
and controls the transfer of information from the AD7356
during conversion.
The CS signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process.
The falling edge of CS puts the track and hold into hold mode,
at which point the analog input is sampled and the bus is taken
out of three-state. The conversion is also initiated at this point
and requires a minimum of 14 SCLKs to complete. When
13 SCLK falling edges have elapsed, the track and hold goes back
into track on the next SCLK rising edge, as shown in Figure 30
at Point B. If a 16-bit data transfer is used on the AD7356, then
two trailing zeros appear after the final LSB. On the rising edge
of CS, the conversion is terminated and SDATAA and SDATAB
go back into three-state. If CS is not brought high, but is instead
held low for an additional 14 SCLK cycles, the data from the
conversion on ADC B is output on SDATAA (see Figure 31).
Likewise, the data from the conversion on ADC A is output
on SDATAB. In this case, the SDATA line in use goes back into
three-state on the 32nd SCLK falling edge or the rising edge of
CS, whichever occurs first.

AD7356
APPLICATION HINTS
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The analog and digital supplies to the AD7356 are independent
and separately pinned out to minimize coupling between the
analog and digital sections of the device. Design the printed
circuit board (PCB) that houses the AD7356 so that the analog
and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas
of the board. This design facilitates the use of ground planes
that can be easily separated.
To provide optimum shielding for ground planes, a minimum etch
technique is generally best. Sink the two AGND pins of the
AD7356 in the AGND plane, and sink the REFGND pin in the
AGND plane. Digital and analog ground planes must be joined
in only one place. If the AD7356 is in a system in which multiple
devices require an AGND and DGND connection, the connection
must still be made at one point only, a star ground point that
must be established as close as possible to the ground pins on
the AD7356.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because this couples
noise onto the die. Allow the analog ground planes to run under
the AD7356 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to
the AD7356 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low
impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power
supply line.
To avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, shield
fast switching signals such as clocks, with digital ground; and
never run clock signals near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of
digital and analog signals. To reduce the effects of feedthrough
within the board, traces on opposite sides of the board should
run at right angles to each other. A microstrip technique is the
best method but is not always possible with a double sided board.
In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated
to ground planes and signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is important; decouple all supplies with 10 µF
tantalum capacitors in parallel with 0.1 µF capacitors to GND.
To achieve the best results from these decoupling components,
they must be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally
right up against the device. The 0.1 µF capacitor, (including the
common ceramic types or surface-mount types) should have low
effective series resistance (ESR) and effective series inductance
(ESI). These low ESR and ESI capacitors provide a low impedance
path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents
due to logic switching.
EVALUATING THE AD7356 PERFORMANCE
The recommended layout for the AD7356 is outlined in the
EVAL-AD7356EDZ documentation. The EVAL-AD7356EDZ
package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board,
documentation, and software for controlling the board from the
PC via the converter evaluation and development board (CED).
The CED can be used in conjunction with the EVAL-AD7356EDZ
(as well as many other evaluation boards ending in the ED
designator from Analog Devices, Inc.) to demonstrate/evaluate the
ac and dc performance of the AD7356.
The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier transform)
and dc (linearity) tests on the AD7356. The software and
documentation are on a CD shipped with the EVAL-AD7356EDZ.
