GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7452 is a 12-bit, low power, successive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter that features a
fully differential analog input. This part operates from a
single 3 V or 5 V power supply and features throughput
rates up to 555kSPS.
The part contains a low-noise, wide bandwidth, differential track and hold amplifier (T/H) which can handle
input frequencies in excess of 1MHz with the -3dB point
being 20MHz typically. The reference voltage is applied
externally to the VREF pin and can be varied from 100 mV
to 3.5 V depending on the power supply and what suits the
application. The value of the reference voltage determines
the common mode voltage range of the part. With this
truly differential input structure and variable reference
input, the user can select a variety of input ranges and bias
points.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using CS and the serial clock allowing the device to interface with Microprocessors or DSPs. The input signals are
sampled on the falling edge of CS and the conversion is
also initiated at this point.
The SAR architecture of these parts ensures that there are
no pipeline delays.
The AD7452 uses advanced design techniques to achieve
very low power dissipation.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.Operation with either 3 V or 5 V power supplies.
2.Low Power Consumption.
With a 3V supply, the AD7452 offers
3 mW typ power consumption for 555kSPS
throughput.
3.Fully Differential Analog Input.
4.Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management.
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock,
allowing the power to be reduced as the conversion time
is reduced through the serial clock speed increase. These
parts also feature a shutdown mode to maximize power
efficiency at lower throughput rates.
5.Variable Voltage Reference Input.
6.No Pipeline Delay.
7.Accurate control of the sampling instant via a CS input
and once off conversion control.
8. ENOB > 8 Bits typically for a 100mV reference.

Measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V with V DD = 5 V and time for
an output to cross 0.4 V or 2.0 V for VDD = 3 V.
6
t 8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t 8, quoted in the
timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

Function
Reference Input for the AD7452. An external reference must be applied to this input. For a 5 V power
supply, the reference is 2.5 V (±1%) and for a 3 V power supply, the reference is 2V (±1%) for speci
fied performance. This pin should be decoupled to GND with a capacitor of at least 0.1µF.
See the ‘Reference Section’ for more details.
Positive Terminal for Differential Analog Input.
Negative Terminal for Differential Analog Input.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all circuitry on the AD7452. All analog input
signals and any external reference signal should be referred to this GND voltage.
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating a conversion on
the AD7452 and framing the serial data transfer.
Serial Data. Logic Output. The conversion result from the AD7452 is provided on this output as a serial data stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data
stream of the AD7452 consists of four leading zeros followed by the 12 bits of conversion data which
are provided MSB first. The output coding is two’s complement.
Serial Clock. Logic input. SCLK provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part. This clock
input is also used as the clock source for the conversion process.
Power Supply Input. VDD is 3 V (+20%/-10%) or 5 V (±5%). This supply should be decoupled to
GND with a 0.1µF Capacitor and a 10µF Tantalum Capacitor.

Aperture Jitter
This is the sample to sample variation in the effective
point in time at which the actual sample is taken.
TERMINOLOGY
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + 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
signal to (noise + distortion) ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by:
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.
Full Power Bandwidth
The full power bandwidth of an ADC is that input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed
fundamental is reduced by 0.1dB or 3dB for a full scale
input.
Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
The Common Mode Rejection Ratio is defined as the
ratio of the power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 200mV p-p sine wave applied
to the Common Mode Voltage of VIN+ and VIN- of frequency fs:
CMRR (dB) = 10log(Pf/Pfs)
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms
sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7450, it
is defined as:
THD (dB ) = 20 log
V2
2
2
2
+V3 +V 4
2
2
+V5 +V 6
V1
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2,
V3, V4, V5 and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second to
the sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as 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 will be a noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa
and fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create
distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of
mfa ± nfb where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation
distortion terms are those for which neither m nor n are
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).
The AD7452 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
while 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 dBs.
Pf is the power at the frequncy f in the ADC output; Pfs is
the power at frequency fs in the ADC output.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1
LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Zero Code Error
This is the deviation of the midscale code transition (111...111
to 000...000) from the ideal VIN+-VIN - (i.e., 0LSB).
Positive Gain Error
This is the deviation of the last code transition (011...110 to
011...111) from the ideal VIN+-VIN- (i.e., +VREF - 1LSB), after
the Zero Code Error has been adjusted out.
Negative Gain Error
This is the deviation of the first code transition (100...000 to
100...001) from the ideal VIN+-VIN - (i.e., -VREF + 1LSB), after
the Zero Code Error has been adjusted out.
Track/Hold Acquisition Time
The track/hold acquisition time is the minimum time
required for the track and hold amplifier to remain in
track mode for its output to reach and settle to within 0.5
LSB of the applied input signal.
Power Supply Rejection
PSRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/Pfs)
Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output; Pfs is
the power at frequency fs in the ADC output.
Aperture Delay
This is the amount of time from the leading edge of the
sampling clock until the ADC actually takes the sample.
REV. PrD
Ratio (PSRR)
The power supply rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of
the power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f, to
the power of a 200mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC
VDD supply of frequency fs. The frequency of this input
varies from 1kHz to 1MHz.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7452 is a low power, single supply, 12-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It
can operate with a 5 V and 3V power supply and is capable of throughput rates up to 555kSPS when supplied
with a 10MHz clock. It requires an external reference to
be applied to the VREF pin, with the value of the reference
chosen depending on the power supply and what suits the
application. When operated with a 5 V supply, the maximum reference that can be applied is 3.5 V and when
operated with a 3 V supply, the maximum reference that
can be applied is 2.2 V. (See ‘Reference Section’).

The AD7452 has an on-chip differential track and hold
amplifier, a successive approximation (SAR) ADC and a
serial interface, housed in either an 8-lead SOT-23 or
MSOP package. The serial clock input accesses data
from the part and also provides the clock source for the
successive-approximation ADC. The AD7452 features a
power-down option for reduced power consumption between conversions. The power-down feature is

GND pin is connected to the analog ground plane of the
system. The VREF pin is connected to either a 2.5 V or a
2 V decoupled reference source depending on the power
supply, to set up the analog input range. The common

that the two inputs are centered on. The conversion result
is output in a 16-bit word with four leading zeros followed
by the MSB of the 12-bit result. For more details on

THE ANALOG INPUT
The analog input of the AD7452 is fully differential. Differential signals have a number of benefits over single
ended signals including noise immunity based on the
device’s common mode rejection, improvements in distortion performance, doubling of the device’s available
dynamic range and flexibility in input ranges and bias
points. Figure 8 defines the fully differential analog input
of the AD7452.

The amplitude of the differential signal is the difference
between the signals applied to the VIN+ and VIN- pins (i.e.
VIN+ - VIN-). VIN+ and VIN- are simultaneously driven by
two signals each of amplitude VREF that are 180° out of
phase. The amplitude of the differential signal is therefore
-VREF to +VREF peak-to-peak (i.e. 2 x VREF). This is regardless of the common mode (CM). The common mode
is the average of the two signals, i.e. (VIN+ + VIN-)/2 and
is therefore the voltage that the two inputs are centered
on. This results in the span of each input being CM ±
VREF/2. This voltage has to be set up externally and its
range varies with VREF. As the value of VREF increases,
the common mode range decreases. When driving the
inputs with an amplfier, the actual common mode range
will be determined by the amplifier’s output voltage
swing.

Figures 9 and 10 show how the common mode range
typically varies with VREF for both a 5 V and a 3 V power
supply. The common mode must be in this range to guarantee the functionality of the AD7452.
For ease of use, the common mode can be set up to be
equal to VREF, resulting in the differential signal being
±VREF centered on VREF. When a conversion takes place,
the common mode is rejected resulting in a virtually noise
free signal of amplitude -VREF to +VREF corresponding to

Analog Input Structure
Figure 12 shows the equivalent circuit of the analog input
structure of the AD7452. 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 300mV. This will cause these
diodes to become forward biased and start conducting into
the substrate. These diodes can conduct up to 10mA without causing irreversible damage to the part. The
capacitors C1, in figure 12 are typically 4pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance.
The resistors are
lumped components made up of the on-resistance of the
switches. The value of these resistors is typically about
100. The capacitors, C2, are the ADC’s sampling capacitors and have a capacitance of 16pF typically.

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 relevant 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
will significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC.
This may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.
The choice of the opamp 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 (THD) that can be tolerated.
The THD will increase as the source impedance increases
and performance will degrade. Figure 13 shows a graph

DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
Differential operation requires that VIN+ and VIN- be simultaneously driven with two equal signals that are 180o
out of phase. The common mode must be set up externally and has a range which is determined by VREF, the
power supply and the particular amplifier used to drive the
analog inputs (see figures 9 and 10). Differential modes
of operation with either an ac or dc input, provide the best
THD performance over a wide frequency range. Since
not all applications have a signal preconditioned for differential operation, there is often a need to perform single
ended to differential conversion.
Differential Amplifier
An ideal method of applying differential drive to the AD7452
is to use a differential amplifier such as the AD8138. This
part can be used as a single ended to differential amplifier or
REV. PrD

as a differential to differential amplifier. In both cases the
analog input needs to be bipolar. It also provides common
mode level shifting and buffering of the bipolar input signal.
Figure 15 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 ADCs.
The RC low pass filter on each analog input is recommended
in ac applications to remove high frequency components of
the analog input. The architecture of the AD8138 results in
outputs that are very highly balanced over a wide frequency
range without requiring tightly matched external components.
If the analog input source being used has zero impedance then
all four resistors (Rg1, Rg2, Rf1, Rf2) should be the same. If
the source has a 50 impedance and a 50 termination for
example, the value of Rg2 should be increased by 25 to
balance this parallel impedance on the input and thus ensure
that both the positive and negative analog inputs have the
same gain (see figure 15). The outputs of the amplifier are
perfectly matched, balanced differential outputs of identical
amplitude and are exactly 180o out of phase.
The AD8138 is specified with 3 V, 5 V and ±5 V power
supplies but the best results are obtained when it is supplied
by ±5 V. A lower cost device that could also be used in this
configuration with slight differences in characteristics to the
AD8138 but with similar performance and operation is the
AD8132.
of suitable dual opamps that could be used in this configuration to provide differential drive to the AD7452 are the
AD8042, AD8056 and the AD8022.
Care must be taken when chosing the opamp used, as the
selection will depend on the required power supply and
the system performance objectives. The driver circuits in
figures 16(a) and 16(b) are optimized for dc coupling
applications requiring optimum distortion performance.
The differential op-amp driver circuit in figure 16(a) is
configured to convert and level shift a 2.5 V p-p single
ended, ground referenced (bipolar) signal to a 5 V p-p
differential signal centered at the VREF level of the ADC.
The circuit configuration shown in figure 16(b) converts a
unipolar, single ended signal into a differential signal.

RF Transformer
In systems that do not need to be dc-coupled, an RF transformer with a center tap offers a good solution for
generating differential inputs. Figure 17 shows how a
transformer is used for single ended to differential conversion. It provides the benefits of operating the ADC in the
differential mode without contributing additional noise
and distortion. An RF transformer also has the benefit of
providing electrical isolation between the signal source
and the ADC. A transformer can be used for most ac applications. The center tap is used to shift the differential
signal to the common mode level required, in this case it
is connected to the reference so the common mode level is
the value of the reference.

Example 2:
VINmax = VDD + 0.3
VINmax = VREF + VREF/2
If VDD = 3.3V
then VINmax = 3.6 V
Therefore 3xVREF/2 = 3.6 V
VREF max = 2.4 V
Therefore, when operating at VDD = 3.3 V, the value of
VREF can range from 100mV to a maximum value of 2.4V.
When VDD = 2.7 V, VREF max = 2 V.
These examples show that the maximum reference applied
to the AD7452 is directly dependant on the value applied
to VDD.
The value of the reference sets the analog input span and
the common mode voltage range. Errors in the reference
source will result in gain errors in the AD7452 transfer
function and will add to specified full scale errors on the
part. A capacitor of 0.1µF should be used to decouple the
VREF pin to GND.

AD7452
SINGLE ENDED OPERATION
When supplied with a 5 V power supply, the AD7452 can
handle a single ended input. The design of this part is
optimized for differential operation so with a single ended
input, performance will degrade. Linearity will degrade by
typically TBDLSBs, Zero Code and the Full Scale Errors
will degrade by typically TBDLSBs and AC performance
is not guaranteed.
To operate the AD7452 in single ended mode, the VIN+
input is coupled to the signal source while the VIN- input
is biased to the appropriate voltage corresponding to the
mid-scale code transition. This voltage is the Common
Mode, which is a fixed dc voltage (usually the reference).
The VIN+ input swings around this value and should have
voltage span of 2 x VREF to make use of the full dynamic
range of the part. The input signal will therefore have
peak to peak values of Common Mode ±VREF. If the
analog input is unipolar then an opamp in a non-inverting
unity gain configuration can be used to drive the VIN+ pin.
Because the ADC operates from a single supply, it will be
necessary to level shift ground based bipolar signals to
comply with the input requirements. An opamp can be
configured to rescale and level shift the ground based
bipolar signal so it is compatible with the selected input
range of the AD7452 (see Figure 19).

In applications with a slower SCLK, it may be possible to
read in data on each SCLK rising edge i.e. the first rising
edge of SCLK after the CS falling edge would have the
leading zero provided and the 15th SCLK edge would have
DB0 provided.
MODES OF OPERATION
AD7452
VIN-
The conversion result from the AD7452 is provided on the
SDATA output as a serial data streatm. The bits are clocked
out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data stream
of the AD7452 consists of four leading zeros, followed by 12
bits of conversion data which is provided MSB first. The
output coding is twos complement. 16 serial clock cycles are
required to perform a conversion and to access data from the
AD7452. CS going low provides the first leading zero to be
read in by the micro-controller or DSP. The remaining data
is then clocked out on the subsequent SCLK falling edges
beginning with the second leading zero. Thus the first falling
clock edge on the serial clock provides the second leading
zero. The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the 16th
falling edge, having been clocked out on the previous (15th)
falling edge.
Once the conversion is complete and the data has been
accessed after the 16 clock cycles, it is important to ensure
that, before the next conversion is initiated, enough time is
left to meet the acquisition and quiet time specifications - see
the Timing Examples. To achieve 555kSPS with an 10MHz
clock for VDD = 3 V and 5 V, an TBD clock burst will
perform the conversion and leave enough time before the next
conversion for the acquisition and quiet time.
The mode of operation of the AD7452 is selected by
controlling the logic state of the CS signal during a
conversion. There are two possible modes of operation,
Normal Mode and Power-Down Mode. The point at which
CS is pulled high after the conversion has been initiated will
determine whether or not the AD7452 will enter the powerdown mode. Similarly, if already in power-down, CS
controls whether the devices will return to normal operation
or remain in power-down. 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 differing application
requirements.

Figure 19. Applying a Bipolar Single Ended Input to the
AD7452/AD7442
SERIAL INTERFACE
Figures 1 shows a detailed timing diagram for the serial
interface of the AD7452. The serial clock provides the
conversion clock and also controls the transfer of data
from the device during conversion. CS initiates the conversion process and frames the data transfer. The falling
edge of CS puts the track and hold into hold mode and
takes the bus out of three-state. The analog input is
sampled and the conversion initiated at this point. The
conversion will require 16 SCLK cycles to complete.
Normal Mode
Once 13 SCLK falling edges have occurred, the track and
hold will go back into track on the next SCLK rising edge
as shown at point B in Figures 1 and 2. On the 16th
SCLK falling edge the SDATA line will go back into
three-state. If the rising edge of CS occurs before 16
SCLKs have elapsed, the conversion will be terminated
and the SDATA line will go back into three-state on the
16th SCLK falling edge.
This mode is intended for fastest throughput rate performance. The user does not have to worry about any
power-up times with the AD7452 remaining fully powered up all the time. Figure 20 shows the general
diagram of the operation of the AD7452 in this mode.
The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS as
described in the ‘Serial Interface Section’. To ensure the
part remains fully powered up, 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 16th SCLK falling edge, the part
will remain powered up but the conversion will be terminated and SDATA will go back into three-state. Sixteen
serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion

and access the complete conversion result. CS may idle
high until the next conversion or may idle low until sometime prior to the next conversion. Once a data transfer is
complete, i.e. when SDATA has returned to three-state,
another conversion can be initiated after the quiet time,
tQUIET has elapsed by again bringing CS low.
+5
If CS is brought high before the 10th falling edge of
SCLK, the AD7452 will again go back into power-down.
This avoids accidental power-up due to glitches on the CS
line or an inadvertent burst of eight SCLK cycles while
CS is low. So although the device may begin to power up
on the falling edge of CS, it will again power-down on the
rising edge of CS as long as it occurs before the 10th
SCLK falling edge.

This mode is intended for use in applications where
slower throughput rates are required; either the ADC is
powered down between each conversion, or a series of
conversions may be performed at a high throughput rate
and the ADC is then powered down for a relatively long
duration between these bursts of several conversions.
When the AD7452 is in the power down mode, all analog
circuitry is powered down. To enter power down mode,
the conversion process must be interrupted by bringing

Once CS has been brought high in this window of

The time from the rising edge of CS to SDATA threestate enabled will never be greater than t8 (see the
‘Timing Specifications’). If CS is brought high before
the second SCLK falling edge, the part will remain in
normal mode and will not power-down. This will avoid
accidental power-down due to glitches on the CS line.
In order to exit this mode of operation and power the
AD7452 up again, a dummy conversion is performed. On
the falling edge of CS the device will begin to power up,
and will continue to power up as long as CS is held low
until after the falling edge of the 10th SCLK. The device
will be fully powered up after 1µsec has elapsed and, as
shown in Figure 22, valid data will result from the next
conversion.
REV. PrD
The power up time of the AD7452 is typically 1µsec,
which means that with any frequency of SCLK up to
10MHz, one dummy cycle (1.5µsec) will always be sufficient to allow the device to power-up. Once the dummy
cycle is complete, the ADC will be fully powered up and
the input signal will be acquired properly. The quiet time
tQUIET must still be allowed from the point at which the
bus goes back into three-state after the dummy conversion,
to the next falling edge of CS.
When running at the maximum throughput rate of
555kSPS, the AD7452 will power up and acquire a signal
within ±0.5LSB in one dummy cycle. When powering up
from the power-down mode with a dummy cycle, as in
Figure 24, the track and hold, which was in hold mode
while the part was powered down, returns to track mode
after the first SCLK edge the part receives after the falling
edge of CS. This is shown as point A in Figure 22.
Although at any SCLK frequency one dummy cycle is
sufficient to power the device up and acquire VIN, it does
not necessarily mean that a full dummy cycle of 16
SCLKs must always elapse to power up the device and
acquire VIN fully; 1µs will be sufficient to power the device up and acquire the input signal.
For example, if a 5MHz SCLK frequency was applied to
the ADC, the cycle time would be 3.2µs (i.e. 1/(5MHz) x
16). In one dummy cycle, 3.2µs, the part would be powered up and VIN acquired fully. However after 1µs with a
5MHz SCLK only 5 SCLK cycles would have elapsed. At
this stage, the ADC would be fully powered up and the
signal acquired. So, in this case the CS can be brought
high after the 10th SCLK falling edge and brought low
again after a time tQUIET to initiate the conversion.
When power supplies are first applied to the AD7452, the
ADC may either power up in the power-down mode or
normal mode. Because of this, it is best to allow a dummy
cycle to elapse to ensure the part is fully powered up before attempting a valid conversion. Likewise, if the user
wishes the part to power up in power-down mode, then the
dummy cycle may be used to ensure the device is in
power-down by executing a cycle such as that shown in
Figure 21.
Once supplies are applied to the AD7452, the power up
time is the same as that when powering up from the
power-down mode. It takes approximately 1µs to power
up fully if the part powers up in normal mode. It is not
necessary to wait 1µs before executing a dummy cycle to
ensure the desired mode of operation. Instead, the dummy

cycle can occur directly after power is supplied to the

ensure that adequate acquisition time has been allowed.

AD7452*
As mentioned earlier, when powering up from the powerdown mode, the part will return to track upon the first
SCLK edge applied after the falling edge of CS. However, when the ADC powers up initially after supplies are
applied, the track and hold will already be in track. This
means if (assuming one has the facility to monitor the
ADC supply current) the ADC powers up in the desired
mode of operation and thus a dummy cycle is not required
to change mode, then neither is a dummy cycle required
to place the track and hold into track.
MICROPROCESSOR AND DSP INTERFACING
The serial interface on the AD7452 allows the part to be
directly connected to a range of different microprocessors.
This section explains how to interface the AD7452 with
some of the more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.
AD7452 to ADSP21xx
The ADSP21xx family of DSPs are interfaced directly to
the AD7452 without any glue logic required.
The SPORT control register should be set up as follows:
TFSW = RFSW = 1, Alternate Framing
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, Active Low Frame Signal
DTYPE = 00, Right Justify Data
SLEN = 1111, 16-Bit Data words
ISCLK = 1, Internal serial clock
TFSR = RFSR = 1, Frame every word
IRFS = 0,
ITFS = 1.
To implement the power-down mode SLEN should be set
to 1001 to issue an 8-bit SCLK burst.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 23. The
ADSP21xx has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied
together, with TFS set as an output and RFS set as an
input. The DSP operates in Alternate Framing Mode and
the SPORT control register is set up as described. The
Frame Synchronisation signal generated on the TFS is
tied to CS and as with all signal processing applications
equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example, the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling
rate of the ADC and under certain conditions, equidistant
sampling may not be acheived.

The timer registers etc., are loaded with a value which
will provide an interrupt at the required sample interval.
When an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with
TFS/DT (ADC control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and hence the reading of data. The frequency
of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register. When
the instruction to transmit with TFS is given, (i.e.
AX0=TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked. The DSP
will wait until the SCLK has gone High, Low and High
before transmission will start. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs
on or near the rising edge of SCLK, then the data may be
transmitted or it may wait until the next clock edge.
For example, the ADSP-2111 has a master clock frequency of 16MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded
with the value 3 then a SCLK of 2MHz is obtained, and 8
master clock periods will elapse for every 1 SCLK period.
If the timer registers are loaded with the value 803, then
100.5 SCLKs will occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit instructions. This situation will
result in non-equidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is occuring on a SCLK edge. If the number of
SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer figure of N
then equidistant sampling will be implemented by the
DSP.
AD7452 to TMS320C5x/C54x
The serial interface on the TMS320C5x/C54x uses a
continuous serial clock and frame synchronization signals
to synchronize the data transfer operations with peripheral
devices like the AD7452. The CS input allows easy interfacing between the TMS320C5x/C54x and the AD7452
without any glue logic required. The serial port of the
TMS320C5x/C54x is set up to operate in burst mode
with internal CLKX (TX serial clock) and FSX (TX
frame sync). The serial port control register (SPC) must
have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM = 1
and TXM = 1. The format bit, FO, may be set to 1 to set

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) on the MC68HC16
is configured for Master Mode (MSTR = 1), Clock Polarity Bit (CPOL) = 1 and the Clock Phase Bit (CPHA) = 0.
The SPI is configured by writing to the SPI Control Register (SPCR) - see 68HC16 user manual. The serial
transfer will take place as a 16-bit operation when the
SIZE bit in the SPCR register is set to SIZE = 1. To
implement the power-down modes with an 8-bit transfer
set SIZE = 0. A connection diagram is shown in figure

AD7452 to DSP56xxx
The connection diagram in figure 26 shows how the
AD7452 can be connected to the SSI (Synchronous Serial
Interface) of the DSP56xxx family of DSPs from
Motorola. The SSI is operated in Synchronous Mode
(SYN bit in CRB =1) with internally generated 1-bit clock
period frame sync for both Tx and Rx (bits FSL1 =1 and
FSL0 =0 in CRB). Set the word length to 16 by setting
bits WL1 =1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. To implement the
power-down mode on the AD7452 then the word length
can be changed to 8 bits by setting bits WL1 = 0 and WL0
= 0 in CRA. It should be noted that for signal processing
applications, it is imperative that the frame
synchronisation signal from the DSP56xxx will
provideequidistant sampling.
REV. PrD
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7452 should
be designed so that the analog and digital sections are
separated and confined to certain areas of the board. This
facilitates the use of ground planes that can be easily separated. A minimum etch technique is generally best for
ground planes as it gives the best shielding. Digital and
analog ground planes should be joined in only one place
and the connection should be a star ground point established as close to the GND pin on the AD7452 as
possible. Avoid running digital lines under the device as
this will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground
plane should be allowed to run under the AD7452 to
avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the
AD7452 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 like clocks should be shielded with
digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections
of the board, and clock signals should never 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
by far the best but is not always possible with a doublesided board.
In this technique the component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes while signals are placed on the
solder side.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies
should be decoupled with 10µF tantalum capacitors 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.
