1 General Description
2 Key Features
The AS1543/44 is a 12-bit high-speed, low-power, 8/4channel, successive-approximation ADC that operates
from a single 2.7 to 5.25V supply. The device features
high throughput rates (1Msps) and a low-noise, widebandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input
frequencies in excess of 1 MHz.
!
Single Supply Operation with VDRIVE Function:
2.7 to 5.25V
!
Fast Throughput Rate: 1 Msps
!
Sequencer & Channel Counter
The AS1543 features 8 single-ended or 4 fully differential analog inputs while the AS1544 offers 4 singleended or 2 fully differential analog inputs. Both include a
channel sequencer to allow a programmed selection of
channels to be converted sequentially. The conversion
time is determined by the SCLK frequency (also used as
the master clock to control the conversion).
!
Software-Configurable Analog Input Types:
- 8/4-Channel Single-Ended
- 4/2-Channel Fully-Differential
Software-Configurable Input Range
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using a chip select pin and a serial clock signal,
allowing the device to easily interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling
edge of CSN and conversion is also initiated at this
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the
device.
The AS1543/44 uses advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput
rates. At maximum throughput rates, the AS1543/44
consumes just 2.8mA (@3.6V), and 3.5mA (@5.25V).
By using internal control register, single-ended or fullydifferential conversion mode with different input ranges
can be used with either straight binary or twos complement output coding.
The device is available in a TQFN(4x4)-20 pin package.

Description
Analog Inputs. 8/4 single-ended or 4/2 fully-differential analog input channels that are
multiplexed into the track-and-hold circuitry. Input channels are selected by using address
bits ADDR3:ADDR0 (page 14) of the control register. The address bits in conjunction with
bits SEQ (page 14) and SHADOW (page 14) allow the sequence register to be
programmed. The bit SE/FDN (page 14) of the control register selects single-ended or
fully-differential conversion mode. In case of single-ended mode the input range can
extend from [0V to VREFIN] or [0V to 2 x VREFIN]. In case of fully-differential mode the
differential input range can extend from [-VREFIN/2 to +VREFIN/2] or [-VREFIN to +VREFIN].
Note: Unused inputs should be connected to AGND to avoid noise.
Reference Input. An external reference must be applied to this input. The voltage range
for the external reference is 2.5V ±1% for specified performance.
Serial Clock. Provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part. This clock input is
also used as the clock source for the ADC conversion process
2.7 to 5.25V Supply Input. For the [0V to 2 x VREFIN] range, VDD must be between 4.75
and 5.25V
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines the operating
voltage of the AS1543/44 serial interface. VDRIVE ≤ VDD required.
Digital Output. The ADC conversion result is provided serially on this output. Data bits are
clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK. The data stream consists of four address bits
indicating the corresponding conversion channel, followed by 12 bits of conversion data
(MSB first). Output coding may be selected as straight binary or two’s complement
depending on the setting of bit CODING (page 14).
Digital Input. Data is clocked into to the AS1543/44 control register on this input (see
Control Register on page 14).
Chip Select. Active low input. Initiates conversions and also is used to frame the serial
data transfer.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry. All analog input signals
and any external reference signal should be referenced to pin AGND.
Note: AGND, GND and DGND pins must be connected together.
Digital Logic Ground. Ground reference point for the VDRIVE logic power supply input.
VDRIVE should be decoupled to pin DGND.
Supply Ground. Ground reference point for the VDD supply input. The supply input VDD
should be decoupled to pin GND.

AS1543/44
Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
8 Detailed Description
The AS1543/44 is a fast, 8/4-channel, 12-bit, single-supply, A/D converter, which can be operated from a 2.7 to 5.25V
supply. The AS1543/44 is capable of throughput rates of up to 1Msps when provided with a 20MHz clock. The
AS1543/44 features on-chip track/hold, A/D converter, sequencer and a serial interface in a TQFN(4x4)-20 package.
The AS1543/44 has 8/4 single-ended or 4/2 fully-differential input channels with a channel sequencer, allowing the
selection of the sequence of channels the ADC can cycle through on (each consecutive CSN falling edge). The serial
clock input accesses data from the AS1543/44, controls the transfer of data written to the ADC, and provides the clock
source for the successive-approximation A/D converter.
The analog input range for the AS1543/44 is [0 to VREFIN] or [0V to 2 x VREFIN] for 8/4 single ended input channels or
[-VREFIN/2 to +VREFIN/2] or [-VREFIN to +VREFIN] for 4/2 fully differential input channels depending on the setting of bit
RANGE (page 14) and SE/FDN (page 14). For the [0V to 2 x VREFIN] mode, the device must be operated from a 4.75
to 5.25V supply.
The AS1543/44 provides flexible power management options (see bits PM1, PM0 (page 14) of the control register) for
the best power performance for a given throughput rate.
Converter Operation
The AS1543/44 is a 12-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter based around a capacitive DAC. The
AS1543/44 can convert analog input signals in the range [0V to VREFIN] or [0V to 2 x VREFIN] or
[-VREFIN/2 to +VREFIN/2] or [-VREFIN to +VREFIN] .
Figure 21 and Figure 22 show simplified diagrams of the ADC operation. The ADC circuitry is made up of control logic,
SAR, and a capacitive DAC, which are used to redistribute fixed amounts of charge with the capacitive DAC to bring
the comparator back into a balanced condition. Figure 21 shows the ADC during its acquisition phase. Sample switch
and input switch are closed. The comparator is held in a balanced condition and the sampling capacitors CHOLD
acquires the signal on the selected VINx channel.

When a conversion is started (see Figure 22), sample switch and input switch opens causing the comparator to
become unbalanced. The control logic and the capacitive DAC are used to redistribute fixed amounts of charge from
the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is re-balanced,
the conversion is complete. Control logic generates the ADC output code.

Analog Input
Figure 23 shows an equivalent circuit of one analog input. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs. Care should be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than
300mV. This will cause these diodes to become forward biased and start conducting current into the substrate. 10mA
is the maximum current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the AS1543/44.

Open for Conversion;
Closed for Track
Capacitor C1 in Figure 23 is typically about 4pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on-resistance of a switch (track/hold switch) and also includes the on-resistance of
the input multiplexer. The total resistance is typically about 400Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and typically has a capacitance of 20pF.
Track/Hold
The Track/Hold stage enters hold mode on the falling edge of CSN. For AC applications, removing high frequency
components from the analog input signal is recommended by use of an R/C low-pass filter on the relevant analog input
pin. 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 will significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC. This
may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op-amp will be a function of the particular application.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source impedance will depend on the amount of total harmonic distortion that can be tolerated. The THD will
increase as the source impedance increases, and performance will degrade (see Figure 13 on page 10).

Control Register
The AS1543/44 control register is a 13-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded into the register from pin DIN on the falling edge of the SCLK signal. Data is transferred on pin DIN at the same time as the conversion result is read from the
device. The data transferred on pin DIN corresponds to the AS1543/44 configuration for the next conversion. This
requires 16 serial clocks for every data transfer.
Only the information provided on the first 13 falling clock edges (after CSN falling edge) is loaded to the control register. The control register bits are defined in Table 6.

Mode
Description
In this mode, the AS1543/44 remains in full power mode regardless of the
Normal Operation status of any of the logic inputs. This mode allows the fastest possible
throughput rate.
Auto Shutdown
In this mode, the AS1543/44 automatically enters shutdown mode at the end of
each conversion when the control register is updated. Wake-up time from
shutdown is 1µs.
Note: Ensure that 1µs has elapsed before attempting to perform a valid conversion in this mode.
Sequencer Operation
The setting of control register bits SEQ and SHADOW sets the sequencer operation and also selects the shadow register for programming.
Table 11. Sequencer Configuration via Bits SEQ and SHADOW
SEQ
SHADOW
Description
0
These settings indicate that the sequencer is not used. The analog input
channel selected for each individual conversion is determined by the
contents of the channel address bits ADDR3:ADDR0 (page 14) in each
prior write operation. This mode of operation reflects the normal operation
of a multi-channel ADC (without the sequencer) where each write to the
AS1543/44 specifies the next input channel for conversion (see Figure 28
on page 18).
1
These settings select the shadow register for programming. After a write
to the control register, the following write operation will load the contents
of the shadow register. This will program the sequence of channels to be
repeatedly converted each successive valid CSN falling edge (see
Table 12 on page 18 and Figure 29 on page 19).
Note: The specified input channels need not be consecutive.
0
With these settings, the sequencer will not be interrupted upon
completion of a write operation. This allows other bits of the control
register (PM1, PM0, WEAK/TRIN, RANGE, CODING and SE/FDN) to be
altered while in a sequence without terminating the cycle.
1
These settings are used in conjunction with the channel address bits
ADDR3:ADDR0 to program continuous conversions on a consecutive
sequence of channels (channel 0 ... channel n) as determined by the
address bits ADDR3:ADDR0 (page 14) of the control register (see Figure
30 on page 20).

Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
Shadow Register
The shadow register is a 16-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from pin DIN of the AS1543/44 on the falling edge of
SCLK. The data is transferred on pin DIN at the same time as a conversion result is read from the device. This requires
16 serial falling edges for the data transfer.
The information is clocked into the shadow register (provided bits SEQ (page 14) and SHADOW (page 14) were set to
0, 1 respectively), in the previous write to the control register.
Each bit represents one of the input channels (VIN0 through VIN3/VIN7). Multiple channels can be selected for continuous cycling on each consecutive CSN falling edge after a write to the shadow register. To select a sequence of channels, the associated bit must be set for each analog input channel.
The AS1543/44 will continuously cycle through the selected channels in ascending order, beginning with the lowest
channel, until a write operation occurs (i.e., bit WRITE (page 14) is set to 1) with bits SEQ and SHADOW configured in
any way except 1, 0 (see Table 11 on page 17).

AS1543/44
Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
The CSN signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process. The falling edge of CSN puts the track and hold into
hold mode, takes the bus out of three-state, and the analog input is sampled at this point. The conversion is also initiated at this point and will require 16 SCLK cycles to complete.
The track and hold will go back into track on the 14th SCLK falling edge (point B in Figure 31) except when the write is
to the shadow register, in which case the track and hold will not return to track until the rising edge of CSN, (point C in
Figure 32).
On the 16th SCLK falling edge, signal DOUT will go back into tri-state (assuming bit WEAK/TRIN (page 14) is set to 0).
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion process and to access data from the AS1543/44.
The 12 bits of data are preceded by the four channel address bits ADDR3:ADDR0 (page 14), identifying which channel
the conversion result corresponds to.
CSN going low provides address bit ADDR3 to be read in by the microprocessor or DSP. The remaining address bits
and data bits are then clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling edges beginning with the second address bit ADDR2;
thus the first SCLK falling edge on the serial clock has address bit ADDR3 provided and also clocks out address bit
ADDR2. The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the 16th falling edge, having being clocked out on the previous
(15th) falling edge.

Writing information to the control register takes place on the first 13 falling edges of SCLK in a data transfer, assuming
the MSB, i.e., bit WRITE (page 14), has been set to 1. If the control register is programmed to use the shadow register,
writing of information to the shadow register will take place on all 16 SCLK falling edges in the next serial transfer (see
Figure 32). The shadow register will be updated upon the rising edge of CSN and the track and hold will begin to track
the first channel selected in the sequence.
Note: It is important to note that, if channel 7 (VIN7) is active in the shadow register, 17 clocks will be needed during
the programming of the shadow register. CSN will then go high after the 17th clock. In all other cases, 16
clocks will be enough to program the shadow register.
If bit WEAK/TRIN (page 14) is set to 1, rather than returning to true tri-state upon the 16th SCLK falling edge, the
DOUT signal will instead be pulled weakly to the logic level corresponding to bit ADDR3 of the next serial transfer. This
is done to ensure that the MSB of the next serial transfer is set up in time for the first SCLK falling edge after the CSN
falling edge.
If bit WEAK/TRIN is set to 0 and the DOUT signal has been in true tri-state between conversions, then depending on
the particular DSP or microcontroller interfacing to the AS1543/44, address bit ADDR3 may not be set up in time for
the DSP/micro to clock it in successfully. In this case, ADDR3 would only be driven from the falling edge of CSN and
must then be clocked in by the DSP on the following falling edge of SCLK.

However, if bit WEAK/TRIN is set to 1, then although DOUT is driven with address bit ADDR3 since the last conversion, it is nevertheless so weakly driven that another device may still take control of the bus. It will not lead to a bus
contention (e.g., a 10 kΩ pull-up or pull-down resistor would be sufficient to overdrive the logic level of ADDR3
between conversions) and all 16 channels may be identified. However, if this does happen and another device takes
control of the bus, it is not guaranteed that DOUT will be fully driven to ADDR3 again in time for the read operation
when control of the bus is taken back.
This is useful if using an automatic sequence mode to identify channel-result pairs. Obviously, if only the first eight
channels are in use, then address bit ADDR3 does not need to be decoded, and whether it is successfully clocked in
as a 1 or 0 will not matter as long as it is still counted by the DSP as the MSB of the 16-bit serial transfer.
Power Modes
The AS1543/44 can be operated in 2 different modes:
- Normal Mode (see page 22)
- Auto Shutdown (see page 23)
These modes are designed to provide flexible power management options, and can be selected to optimize the power
dissipation and throughput-rate ratio for differing application requirements. The mode of operation of the AS1543/44 is
controlled by bits PM1, PM0 (page 14) of the control register.
Note: When power supplies are first applied to the AS1543/44, internal power-on reset circuitry sets the device for
Auto Shutdown (PM1 = 0, PM0 = x). The AS1543/44 remains in shutdown the first CSN falling edge is
received.
Normal Mode (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 1)
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance as the user does not have to worry about any
power-up times with the AS1543/44 remaining fully powered at all times. Figure 33 shows the operation of the
AS1543/44 in normal mode.Conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CSN and the track and hold will enter hold
mode.
The data presented to pin DIN during the first 13 clock cycles of the data transfer is loaded to the control register (if bit
WRITE (page 14) is set to 1). If bit SEQ (page 14) = 0, and bit SHADOW (page 14) = 1 on the previous write, data presented on pin DIN during the first 16 SCLK cycles is loaded into the shadow register. The device will remain fully
powered up in normal mode at the end of the conversion as long as bits PM1, PM0 (page 14) are set to 1 in the write
transfer during that conversion.
To ensure continued operation in normal mode, bits PM1 and PM0 are loaded with 1 on every data transfer. Sixteen
serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access the conversion result. The track and hold will
go back into track on the 14th SCLK falling edge.
Once a data transfer is complete (DOUT has returned to tri-state, bit WEAK/TRIN (page 14) = 0), another conversion
can be initiated after the quiet time (tQUIET) has elapsed by bringing CSN low again.

Auto Shutdown (PM1 = 0, PM0 = X)
In this mode, the AS1543/44 automatically enters shutdown after the 14th SLK falling edge of each conversion is
updated. When the device is in shutdown mode, the track/hold circuitry is in hold mode.
Note: The control register maintains its data while in shutdown mode.
Figure 34 shows the operation of the AS1543/44 when it is in automatic shutdown mode The AS1543/44 remains in
shutdown until the next CSN falling edge it receives. On this CSN falling edge, the track and hold that was in hold while
the device was in shutdown will return to track.
Note: Wake-up time from auto shutdown is 1µs.

2. Set control register bits PM1 = 1 and PM0 = 1 to keep the device in normal mode.
When running the AS1543/44 with a 20MHz clock, one dummy cycle of 1µs (see Figure 34) (16 SCLKs plus
Track&Hold aquisation time) should be sufficient to ensure the part is fully powered up.
This dummy cycle effectively halves the throughput rate, with every other conversion result being valid. In this mode,
the power consumption of the part is greatly reduced with the part entering shutdown at the end of each conversion.
Note: The end of shutdown can be controlled by the CSN signal.
Power vs. Throughput Rate
By operating the AS1543/44 in auto shutdown (see page 23) the average power consumption of the ADC decreases at
lower throughput rates. The Power vs. Throughput Rate graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics section shows
how as the throughput rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown state longer and the average power consumption over time drops accordingly.
If the AS1543/44 is operated in a continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 100ksps and a SCLK of 20 MHz
(VDD = 5V), with bit PM1 (page 14) = 0, i.e., the device is in auto shutdown mode (see page 23), then the power consumption is calculated as follows:
The maximum power dissipation during normal operation is 18.4mW (VDD = 5.25V). If the power-up time from auto
shutdown is one dummy cycle (i.e., 1µs) and the remaining conversion time is another cycle (i.e., 1µs) then the
AS1543/44 will dissipate approximately 18.4mW for 2µs during each conversion cycle. For the remainder of the conversion cycle (8µs), the device remains in shutdown mode. The AS1543/44 will dissipate approximately 2.5µW for the
remaining 8µs of the conversion cycle. If the throughput rate is 100ksps, the cycle time is 10µs and the average power
dissipated during each cycle is:
((2/10) x 18.4mW) + ((8/10) x 2.5µW) = 3.682mW

The Power vs. Throughput Rate graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics section shows the power vs. throughput rate when using the auto shutdown mode and auto standby mode with 5V supplies (similar power calculations can
be done at 3V, althought the power is decreased even more when using 3V supplies).
VDRIVE
VDRIVE controls the serial interface voltage. VDRIVE allows easy interface to 3V and 5V processors. For example, if the
AS1543/44 were operated with a VDD of 5V, pin VDRIVE could be powered from a 3V supply. The AS1543/44 has better
dynamic performance with a VDD of 5V while still being able to interface to 3V processors.
Note: VDRIVE must not exceed VDD by more than 0.3V (see Absolute Maximum Ratings on page 4)
External Reference
An external reference source should be connected directly to the pin VREFIN of the AS1543/44. The external reference
voltage can reach from 1V to VDD. The correlation between performance of the AS1543/44 and the reference voltage
is shown in Figure 9 on page 9. However for specified performance the reference voltage has to stay at 2.5V ±1%. The
analog input range depends on VREFIN and the setting of bit RANGE and bit SE/FDN of the control register (see Analog Input Configuration on page 15). Errors in the reference source will result in gain errors in the AS1543/44 transfer
function and will add to the specified full scale errors of the device.
Note: A capacitor of at least 0.1µF should be placed on pin REFIN.

9 Application Information
Figure 35 shows a typical connection diagram for the AS1543/44. In this configuration, pin AGND, GND and DGND
connected to the analog ground plane of the system. In Figure 35, REFIN is connected to a decoupled 2.5V reference
source, to provide an analog input range of 0 to 2.5V (if RANGE (page 14) is 1 and bit SE/FDN (page 14) = 1) or 0 to
5V (if bit RANGE is 0 and bit SE/FDN = 1). In Figure 35 the AS1543/44 is connected to a VDD of 5V, however the serial
interface is connected to a 3V microprocessor.
Pin VDRIVE is connected to the same 3V supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3V logic interface. The conversion
result is output in a 16-bit word. This 16-bit data stream consists of four address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of conversion data.
Note: For applications where power consumption is of concern, the power-down modes should be used between
conversions or bursts of several conversions to improve power performance (see Power Modes on page 22).

Initialisation
When power is first applied to the AS1543/44 interal power-on reset circuitry sets the device for Auto Shutdown (PM1
= 0, PM0 = X) on page 23.
Note: The device requires 10µs after the power supplies stabilize; no conversions should be initiated during this time.
The digital output at pin DOUT will be set to tri-state after internal power-on reset.

Grounding and Layout Considerations
The AS1543/44 has excellent immunity to noise on the power supplies as can be seen by the PSRR vs. Supply Signal
Frequency graph on page 11, however, the following should be considered regarding grounding and PCB layout:
- The PCB should be designed such that the analog and digital sections are confined to separate areas of the
board. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be separated easily. A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes as it gives the best shielding.
- Pins AGND and GND should be tied to the analog ground plane. Pin DGND should be tied to the digital ground
plane.
- Digital and analog ground planes should be joined at only one place. If the AS1543/44 is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the connection should be made at one point – a star ground
point which should be established as close as possible to the AS1543/44.
- Avoid running digital lines under the device as these will couple noise onto the die.
- The analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AS1543/44 to avoid noise coupling.
- The power supply lines to the AS1543/44 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low-impedance
paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line.
- Fast-switching signals (e.g., clocks) should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the PCB.
- Clock signals should not be run near the analog inputs.
- Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
- Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This will reduce the effects of
feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is the best but is not always possible with a double-sided
board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes while signals are placed
on the solder side.
- All analog input channels and the reference input voltage should be decoupled to the ground pin of AGND.
- All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF capacitors to GND. To achieve
the best from these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally right
up against the device. The 0.1µF capacitors should be low ESR and ESI (e.g., common ceramic or surface
mount types) which provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due
to internal logic switching.
