GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7934-6 is a 12-bit, high speed, low power, successive
approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
part operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and
features throughput rates up to 625 kSPS. The part contains a
low noise, wide bandwidth, differential track-and-hold
amplifier that handles input frequencies up to 50 MHz.
The AD7934-6 features four analog input channels with a channel
sequencer that allows a preprogrammed selection of channels to
be converted sequentially. This part can accept either singleended, fully differential, or pseudo differential analog inputs.
Data acquisition and conversion are controlled by standard control
inputs that allow for easy interfacing to microprocessors and
DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of CONVST,
which is also the point where the conversion is initiated.
The AD7934-6 has an accurate on-chip 2.5 V reference that
can be used as the reference source for the analog-to-digital
conversion. Alternatively, this pin can be overdriven to provide
an external reference.
features flexible power management options. An on-chip control
register allows the user to set up different operating conditions,
including analog input range and configuration, output coding,
power management, and channel sequencing.

Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tRISE = tFALL = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of
1.6 V. All timing specifications given above are with a 25 pF load capacitance. See Figure 34, Figure 35, Figure 36, and Figure 37.
Minimum CLKIN for specified performance. With slower CLKIN frequencies, performance specifications apply typically.

t14 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V. The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or
discharging the 25 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t14, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish time of the part and is independent of the
bus loading.

Description
Power Supply Input. The VDD range for the AD7934-6 is from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. The supply should be decoupled
to AGND with a 0.1 μF capacitor and a 10 μF tantalum capacitor.
Word/Byte Input. When this input is logic high, word transfer mode is enabled, and data is transferred to and
from the AD7934-6 in 12-bit words on Pin DB0 to Pin DB11. When W/B is logic low, byte transfer mode is
enabled. Data and the channel ID are transferred on Pin DB0 to Pin DB7, and Pin DB8/HBEN assumes its HBEN
functionality. When operating in byte transfer mode, unused data lines should be tied off to DGND.
Data Bit 0 to Data Bit 7. Three-state parallel digital I/O pins that provide the conversion result, and allow the
control register to be programmed. These pins are controlled by CS, RD, and WR. The logic high/low voltage
levels for these pins are determined by the VDRIVE input.
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines what voltage the parallel interface of
the AD7934-6 operates. This pin should be decoupled to DGND. The voltage at this pin can be different to that
at VDD, but should never exceed VDD by more than 0.3 V.
Digital Ground. This is the ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7934-6. This pin should
connect 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.
Data Bit 8/High Byte Enable. When W/B is high, this pin acts as Data Bit 8, a three-state I/O pin that is
controlled by CS, RD, and WR. When W/B is low, this pin acts as the high byte enable pin. When HBEN is low,
the low byte of data written to or read from the AD7934-6 is on DB0 to DB7. When HBEN is high, the top four
bits of the data being written to or read from the AD7934-6 are on DB0 to DB3. When reading from the device,
DB4 and DB5 of the high byte contain the ID of the channel corresponding to the conversion result (see the
channel address bits in Table 9). DB6 and DB7 are always 0. When writing to the device, DB4 to DB7 of the
high byte must all be 0s.
Data Bit 9 to Data Bit 11. Three-state parallel digital I/O pins that provide the conversion result and allow the
control register to be programmed in word mode. These pins are controlled by CS, RD, and WR. The logic
high/low voltage levels for these pins are determined by the VDRIVE input.
Busy Output. Logic output indicating the status of the conversion. The BUSY output goes high following the
falling edge of CONVST and stays high for the duration of the conversion. Once the conversion is complete
and the result is available in the output register, the BUSY output goes low. The track-and-hold returns to track
mode just prior to the falling edge of BUSY, on the 13th rising edge of CLKIN (see Figure 34).
Master Clock Input. The clock source for the conversion process is applied to this pin. Conversion time for the
AD7934-6 takes 13 clock cycles + t2. The frequency of the master clock input therefore determines the
conversion time and achievable throughput rate. The CLKIN signal can be a continuous or burst clock.
Conversion Start Input. A falling edge on CONVST is used to initiate a conversion. The track-and-hold goes
from track to hold mode on the falling edge of CONVST, and the conversion process is initiated at this point.
Following power-down, when operating in the autoshutdown or autostandby mode, a rising edge on
CONVST is used to power up the device.
Write Input. Active low logic input used in conjunction with CS to write data to the control register.
Read Input. Active low logic input used in conjunction with CS to access the conversion result. The conversion
result is placed on the data bus following the falling edge of RD read while CS is low.

Description
Chip Select. Active low logic input used in conjunction with RD and WR to read conversion data or write data
to the control register.
Analog Ground. This is the ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7934-6. All analog input
signals and any external reference signal 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.
Reference Input/Output. This pin is connected to the internal reference, and is the reference source for the
ADC. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, and it appears at this pin. It is recommended that this pin
be decoupled to AGND with a 470 nF capacitor. This pin can be overdriven by an external reference. The input
voltage range for the external reference is 0.1 V to VDD; however, care must be taken to ensure that the analog
input range does not exceed VDD + 0.3 V. See the Reference section.
Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 3. Four analog input channels that are multiplexed into the on-chip track-andhold. The analog inputs can be programmed to be four single-ended inputs, two fully differential pairs, or two
pseudo differential pairs by setting the MODE bits in the control register appropriately (see Table 9). The
analog input channel to be converted can be selected either by writing to the address bits (ADD1 and ADD0)
in the control register prior to the conversion, or by using the on-chip sequencer. The input range for all input
channels can be either 0 V to VREF, or 0 V to 2 × VREF, and the coding can be binary or twos complement,
depending on the states of the RANGE and CODING bits in the control register. Any unused input channels
should be connected to AGND to avoid noise pickup.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
This 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.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Offset Error
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00…000) to
(00…001) from the ideal (that is, AGND + 1 LSB).
Offset Error Match
This is the difference in offset error between any two channels.
Gain Error
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111…110) to
(111…111) from the ideal (that is, VREF – 1 LSB) after the offset
error has been adjusted out.
Gain Error Match
This is the difference in gain error between any two channels.
Zero-Code Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × VREF input range, with −VREF to
+VREF biased about the VREF point. It is the deviation of the
midscale transition (all 0s to all 1s) from the ideal VIN voltage
(that is, VREF).
Zero-Code Error Match
This is the difference in zero-code error between any two
channels.
Negative Gain Error Match
This is the difference in negative gain error between any two
channels.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
This is a measure of the level of crosstalk between channels.
It is measured by applying a full-scale sine wave signal to the
three, nonselected input channels and applying a 50 kHz signal
to the selected channel. The channel-to-channel isolation is
defined as the ratio of the power of the 50 kHz signal on the
selected channel to the power of the noise signal on the unselected channels that appears in the fast Fourier transform (FFT)
of this channel. The noise frequency on the unselected channels
varies from 40 kHz to 740 kHz. The noise amplitude is at
2 × VREF, while the signal amplitude is at 1 × VREF. See Figure 4.
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 noise varies from 1 kHz to 1 MHz.
PSRR (dB) = 10 log(Pf/PfS)
where:
Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output.
PfS is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output.
Positive Gain Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × VREF input range, with −VREF to
+VREF biased about the VREF point. It is the deviation of the last
code transition (011…110) to (011…111) from the ideal (that is,
+VREF – 1 LSB) after the zero-code error has been adjusted out.
Positive Gain Error Match
This is the difference in positive gain error between any two
channels.
Negative Gain Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × VREF input range, with −VREF to
+VREF biased about the VREF point. It is the deviation of the first
code transition (100 … 000) to (100 … 001) from the ideal
(that is, −VREF + 1 LSB) after the zero-code 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.
CMRR (dB) = 10 log(Pf/PfS)
where:
Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output.
PfS is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output.

AD7934-6
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end
of 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 ±½ LSB, after the end of conversion.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
This 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 (fSAMPLE/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 ratio 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.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the
fundamental. For the AD7934-6, it is defined as:
⎛ V 2 + V32 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2
THD (dB ) = −20 log⎜ 2
⎜
V1
⎝
⎞
⎟
⎟
⎠
where:
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
This is defined as the ratio of the rms value of the next largest
component in the ADC output spectrum (up to fSAMPLE/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
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 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 AD7934-6 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 intermodulation distortion is calculated per the
THD specification, as the ratio of the rms sum of the individual
distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the
fundamentals, expressed in dB.
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.

CONTROL REGISTER
The control register on the AD7934-6 is a 12-bit, write-only
register. Data is written to this register using the CS and WR
pins. The control register is shown in Table 6 and the functions

Description
Power management bits used to select the power mode of operation. The user can choose between normal mode
and various power-down modes of operation, as shown in Table 8.
Selects the output coding of the conversion result. If set to 0, the output coding is straight (natural) binary. If set to
1, the output coding is twos complement.
Selects whether the internal or external reference is used to perform the conversion. If this bit is Logic 0, an
external reference should be applied to the VREF pin. If this bit is Logic 1, the internal reference is selected. See the
Reference section.
Not used. This bit should always be set to Logic 0.
Two address bits that either select which analog input channel is to be converted in the next conversion, if the
sequencer is not used, or select the final channel in a consecutive sequence when the sequencer is used, as
described in Table 10. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 9.
Two mode pins that select the type of analog input on the four VIN pins. The AD7934-6 has four single-ended
inputs, two fully differential inputs, or two pseudo differential inputs. See Table 9.
Used in conjunction with the SEQ0 bit to control the sequencer function. See Table 10.
Used in conjunction with the SEQ1 bit to control the sequencer function. See Table 10.
Selects the analog input range of the AD7934-6. If set to 0, the analog input range extends from 0 V to VREF. If it
is set to 1, the analog input range extends from 0 V to 2 × VREF. When this range is selected, VDD must be 4.75 V to
5.25 V if a 2.5 V reference is used; otherwise, care must be taken to ensure that the analog input remains within
the supply rails. See the Analog Input Configurations section for more information.

Description
When operating in normal mode, all circuitry is fully powered up at all times.
When operating in autoshutdown mode, the AD7934-6 enters full shutdown mode at the end of each
conversion. In this mode, all circuitry is powered down.
When the AD7934-6 enters this mode, the reference remains fully powered, the reference buffer is partially
powered down, and all other circuitry is fully powered down. This mode is similar to autoshutdown mode,
but it allows the part to power up in 7 μs (or 600 ns if an external reference is used). See the Power Modes
of Operation section for more information.
When the AD7934-6 enters this mode, all circuitry is powered down. The information in the control register
is retained.

SEQUENCER OPERATION
The configuration of the SEQ0 and SEQ1 bits in the control
register allows the user to use the sequencer function. Table 10
outlines the two sequencer modes of operation.
Writing to the Control Register to Program the Sequencer
The AD7934-6 needs 13 full CLKIN periods to perform a
conversion. If the ADC does not receive the full 13 CLKIN
periods, the conversion aborts. If a conversion is aborted after
applying 12.5 CLKIN periods to the ADC, ensure that a rising
edge of CONVST or a falling edge of CLKIN is applied to the
part before writing to the control register to program the
sequencer. If these conditions are not met, the sequencer will
not be in the correct state to handle being reprogrammed for
another sequence of conversions and the performance of the
converter is not guaranteed.

Sequence Type
This configuration is selected when the sequence function is not used. The analog input channel selected on each
individual conversion is determined by the contents of the channel address bits, ADD1 and ADD0, in each prior write
operation. This mode of operation reflects the normal operation of a multichannel ADC, without the sequencer function
being used, where each write to the AD7934-6 selects the next channel for conversion.
Not used.
Not used.
This configuration is used in conjunction with the channel address bits, ADD1 and ADD0, to program continuous
conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels from Channel 0 to a selected final channel, as determined by the
channel address bits in the control register. When in differential or pseudo differential mode, inverse channels (for
example, VIN1, VIN0) are not converted in this mode.

AD7934-6
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7934-6 has four analog input channels that can be
configured to be four single-ended inputs, two fully differential
pairs or two pseudo differential pairs. An on-chip channel
sequencer allows the user to select a consecutive sequence of
channels through which the ADC can cycle with each falling
edge of CONVST.
The analog input range for the AD7934-6 is 0 V to VREF, or 0 V
to 2 × VREF, depending on the status of the RANGE bit in the
control register. The output coding of the ADC can be either
straight binary or twos complement, depending on the status of
the CODING bit in the control register.
The AD7934-6 provides flexible power management options to
allow users to achieve the best power performance for a given
throughput rate. These options are selected by programming
the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the control
register.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7934-6 is a successive approximation ADC based on
two capacitive digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Figure 14
and Figure 15 show simplified schematics of the ADC in
acquisition and conversion phase, respectively. The ADC
comprises control logic, SAR, and two capacitive DACs. Both
figures show the operation of the ADC in differential/pseudo
differential mode. Single-ended mode operation is similar but
VIN− is internally tied to AGND. In 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.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding for the AD7934-6 is either straight binary or
twos complement, depending on the status of the CODING bit
in the control register. The designed code transitions occur at
successive LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on), and the
LSB size is VREF/4096. The ideal transfer characteristics of the
AD7934-6 for both straight binary and twos complement output
coding are shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17, respectively.

The AD7934-6 provides the user with an on-chip track-andhold, an accurate internal reference, an analog-to-digital converter,
and a parallel interface housed in a 28-lead TSSOP package.
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 output code of the ADC. The output impedances
of the sources driving the VIN+ and the VIN− pins must match;
otherwise, the two inputs have different settling times,
resulting in errors.
ADC CODE
The AD7934-6 is a fast, 4-channel, 12-bit, single-supply,
successive approximation analog-to-digital converter.
The part operates from a 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply
and features throughput rates up to 625 kSPS.

ANALOG INPUT STRUCTURE
1 LSB = 2 × VREF /4096
Figure 19 shows the equivalent circuit of the analog input
structure of the AD7934-6 in differential/pseudo differential
mode. In single-ended mode, VIN− is internally tied to AGND.
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 the
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.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 18 shows a typical connection diagram for the
AD7934-6. The AGND and DGND pins are connected
together at the device for good noise suppression. The
VREFIN/VREFOUT pin is decoupled to AGND with a 0.47 μF
capacitor to avoid noise pickup if the internal reference is
used. Alternatively, VREFIN/VREFOUT can be connected to an
external reference source. In this case, the reference pin
should be decoupled with a 0.1 μF capacitor. In both cases, the
analog input range can either be 0 V to VREF (RANGE bit = 0)
or 0 V to 2 × VREF (RANGE bit = 1). The analog input configuration is either four single-ended inputs, two differential pairs
or two pseudo differential pairs (see Table 9). The VDD pin
connects to either a 3 V or 5 V supply. The voltage applied to
the VDRIVE input controls the voltage of the digital interface. In
Figure 18, it is connected to the same 3 V supply of the
microprocessor to allow a 3 V logic interface (see the Digital
Inputs section).

Figure 19. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit,
Conversion Phase—Switches Open, Track Phase—Switches Closed
For ac applications, removing high frequency components from
the analog input signal is recommended by the use of an RC lowpass 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 significantly affect the ac performance
of the ADC. This can necessitate the use of an input buffer
amplifier. The choice of the op amp is 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 depends on the amount of THD that can be
tolerated. The THD increases as the source impedance increases
and performance degrades. Figure 20 and Figure 21 show a
graph of the THD vs. source impedance with a 50 kHz input
tone for both VDD = 5 V and 3 V, in single-ended mode and fully
differential mode, respectively.

amplitude is ±2.5 V, the 3R resistor can be replaced with a
resistor of value R. The resultant voltage on the analog input of
the AD7934-6 is a signal ranging from 0 V to 5 V. In this case,

applying it to the ADC. An op amp suitable for this function is
the AD8021. The analog input range of the AD7934-6 can be

Figure 24. Differential Input Definition
The amplitude of the differential signal is the difference between
the signals applied to the VIN+ and VIN− pins in each differential
pair (that is, VIN+ − VIN−). VIN+ and VIN− should be simultaneously
driven by two signals, each of amplitude VREF (or 2 × VREF
depending on the range chosen), which are 180° out of phase.
The amplitude of the differential signal is therefore −VREF to +VREF
peak-to-peak (that is, 2 × VREF), regardless of the common mode
(CM). The common mode is the average of the two signals,
(VIN+ + VIN−)/2, and is therefore the voltage on which the two
inputs are centered. This results in the span of each input being
CM ± VREF/2. This voltage must be set up externally, and its
range varies with the reference value VREF. As the value of VREF
increases, the common-mode range decreases. When driving the
inputs with an amplifier, the actual common-mode range is
determined by the amplifier output voltage swing.
Figure 25 and Figure 26 show how the common-mode range
typically varies with VREF for a 5 V power supply using the
0 V to VREF range or 0 V to 2 × VREF range, respectively. The
common mode must be in this range to guarantee the
functionality of the AD7934-6.
When a conversion takes place, the common mode is rejected.
This results in a virtually noise-free signal of amplitude −VREF
to +VREF, corresponding to the digital codes 0 to 4096. If the 0 V
to 2 × VREF range is used, the input signal amplitude extends
from −2 VREF to +2 VREF.

Driving Differential Inputs
Differential operation requires that VIN+ and VIN− be simultaneously driven with two equal signals that are 180° out of phase.
The common mode must be set up externally and has a range
that is determined by VREF, the power supply, and the particular
amplifier used to drive the analog inputs. Differential modes of
operation with either an ac or a dc input provide the best THD
performance over a wide frequency range. Not all applications
have a signal preconditioned for differential operation, so there
is often a need to perform single-ended-to-differential conversion.
Using an 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 AD7934-6. The
circuit configurations in Figure 27 and Figure 28 show how a
dual op amp can be used to convert a single-ended signal into a
differential signal for both a bipolar and unipolar input signal,
respectively.
The voltage applied to Point A sets up the common-mode
voltage. In both diagrams, it is connected in some way to the
reference, but any value in the common-mode range can be
input to set up the common mode. A suitable dual op amp for
use in this configuration to provide differential drive to the
AD7934-6 is the AD8022.
It is advisable to take care when choosing the op amp; the
selection depends on the required power supply and system
performance objectives. The driver circuits in Figure 27 and
Figure 28 are optimized for dc coupling applications requiring
best distortion performance. The circuit configuration in
Figure 27 converts and level shifts a single-ended, groundreferenced, bipolar signal to a differential signal centered at
the VREF level of the ADC. The circuit configuration shown in
Figure 28 converts a unipolar, single-ended signal into a
differential signal.

ANALOG INPUT SELECTION
As shown in Table 9, users can set up their analog input configuration by setting the values in the MODE0 and MODE1 bits
in the control register. Assuming the configuration has been
chosen, there are two different ways of selecting the analog
input to be converted, depending on the state of the SEQ0 and
SEQ1 bits in the control register.

Any one of four analog input channels or two pairs of channels
can be selected for conversion in any order by setting the SEQ0
and SEQ1 bits in the control register to 0. The channel to be
converted is selected by writing to the address bits, ADD1 and
ADD0, in the control register to program the multiplexer prior to
the conversion. This mode of operation is that of a traditional
multichannel ADC, where each data write selects the next
channel for conversion. Figure 30 shows a flowchart of this mode
of operation. The channel configurations are shown in Table 9.

amplifier. The device is as easy to use as an op amp and greatly
simplifies differential signal amplification and driving.

Pseudo Differential Mode
The AD7934-6 can have two pseudo differential pairs by setting
the MODE0 and MODE1 bits in the control register to 1 and 0,
respectively. VIN+ is connected to the signal source, which must
have an amplitude of VREF (or 2 × VREF depending on the range
chosen) to make use of the full dynamic range of the part. A dc
input is applied to the VIN− pin. The voltage applied to this input
provides an offset from ground or a pseudo ground for the
VIN+ input.
The benefit of pseudo differential inputs is that they separate the
analog input signal ground from the ADC ground, allowing dc
common-mode voltages to be cancelled. Typically, the voltage
range for the VIN− pin while in pseudo differential mode can
extend from −0.3 V to +0.7 V when VDD = 3 V, or from −0.3 V to
+1.8 V when VDD = 5 V. Figure 29 shows a connection diagram
for the pseudo differential mode.

Using the Sequencer: Consecutive Sequence
(SEQ0 = SEQ1 = 1)
A sequence of consecutive channels can be converted beginning
with Channel 0, and ending with a final channel selected by
writing to the ADD1 and ADD0 bits in the control register. This
is done by setting the SEQ0 and SEQ1 bits in the control
register to 1. In this mode, once the control register is written
to, the next conversion is on Channel 0, then Channel 1, and so
on, until the channel selected by the address bits (ADD1 and
ADD0) is reached.
Rev. B | Page 19 of 28
AD7934-6
The ADC then returns to Channel 0 and starts the sequence
again. The WR input must be kept high to ensure that the control
register is not accidentally overwritten and the sequence interrupted. This pattern continues until the AD7934-6 is written to.
Figure 31 shows the flowchart of the consecutive sequence mode.
The performance of the part with different reference values is
shown in Figure 9, Figure 10, and Figure 11. The value of the
reference sets the analog input span and the common-mode
voltage range. Errors in the reference source result in gain
errors in the AD7934-6 transfer function and add to the
specified full-scale errors on the part.

Alternatively, an external reference can be applied to the
VREFIN/VREFOUT pin of the AD7934-6. An external reference input
is selected by setting the REF bit in the internal control register to
0. The external reference input range is 0.1 V to VDD. It is important
to ensure that when choosing the reference value, the maximum
analog input range (VIN MAX) is never greater than VDD + 0.3 V, in
order to comply with the maximum ratings of the device. For
example, if operating in differential mode and the reference is
sourced from VDD, the 0 V to 2 × VREF range cannot be used. This
is because the analog input signal range now extends to 2 × VDD,
which exceeds maximum rating conditions. In the pseudo
differential modes, the user must ensure that (VREF + VIN−) ≤ VDD
when using the 0 V to VREF range, or that (2 × VREF + VIN−) ≤ VDD
when using the 2 × VREF range.

The AD7934-6 can operate with either the on-chip reference or
external reference. The internal reference is selected by setting
the REF bit in the internal control register to 1. A block diagram
of the internal reference circuitry is shown in Figure 32. The
internal reference circuitry includes an on-chip 2.5 V band gap
reference and a reference buffer. When using the internal reference, the VREFIN/VREFOUT pin should be decoupled to AGND with
a 0.47 μF capacitor. This internal reference not only provides
the reference for the analog-to-digital conversion, but it can also
be used externally in the system. It is recommended that the
reference output is buffered using an external precision op amp
before applying it anywhere in the system.
Figure 33. Typical VREF Connection Diagram
Digital Inputs
The digital inputs applied to the AD7934-6 are not limited by
the maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs. Instead, the
digital inputs applied can go to 7 V. They are not restricted by
the VDD + 0.3 V limit that is on the analog inputs.
Another advantage of the digital inputs not being restricted by
the VDD + 0.3 V limit is that the power supply sequencing issues
are avoided. If any of these inputs are applied before VDD, there is
no risk of latch-up as there is on the analog inputs if a signal
greater than 0.3 V is applied prior to VDD.
VDRIVE Input
The AD7934-6 also has a VDRIVE feature. VDRIVE controls the
voltage at which the parallel interface operates. VDRIVE allows the
ADC to easily interface to 3 V and 5 V processors. For example,
if the AD7934-6 is operated with a VDD of 5 V, and the VDRIVE
pin is powered from a 3 V supply, the AD7934-6 has better
dynamic performance with a VDD of 5 V while still being able to
interface to 3 V processors. Care should be taken to ensure
VDRIVE does not exceed VDD by more than 0.3 V (see the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section).
In all cases, the specified reference is 2.5 V.
Rev. B | Page 20 of 28
AD7934-6
At the end of the conversion, BUSY goes low and can be used to
activate an interrupt service routine. The CS and RD lines are
then activated in parallel to read the 12 bits of conversion data.
When power supplies are first applied to the device, a rising
edge on CONVST is necessary to put the track-and-hold into
track. The acquisition time of 125 ns minimum must be allowed
before CONVST is brought low to initiate a conversion. The
ADC then goes into hold on the falling edge of CONVST, and
back into track on the 13th rising edge of CLKIN (see Figure 34).
When operating the device in autoshutdown or autostandby
mode, where the ADC powers down at the end of each
conversion, a rising edge on the CONVST signal is used to
power up the device.
PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7934-6 has a flexible, high speed, parallel interface. This
interface is 12 bits wide and is capable of operating in either
word (W/B tied high) or byte (W/B tied low) mode. The
CONVST signal is used to initiate conversions and, when
operating in autoshutdown or autostandby mode, it is used to
initiate power-up.
A falling edge on the CONVST signal is used to initiate conversions, and it also puts the ADC track-and-hold into track. Once
the CONVST signal goes low, the BUSY signal goes high for the
duration of the conversion. Between conversions, CONVST must
be brought high for a minimum time of t1. This must occur after
the 14th falling edge of CLKIN; otherwise, the conversion is
aborted and the track-and-hold goes back into track.

WITH CS AND RD TIED LOW
AD7934-6
Reading Data from the AD7934-6
The CS and RD signals are gated internally and the level is
triggered active low. In either word mode or byte mode, CS and
RD can be tied together as the timing specification t10 and t11 are
0 ns minimum. This means the bus is constantly driven by the
AD7934-6.
With the W/B pin tied logic high, the AD7934-6 interface
operates in word mode. In this case, a single read operation
from the device accesses the conversion data-word on Pin DB0
to Pin DB11. The DB8/HBEN pin assumes its DB8 function.
With the W/B pin tied to logic low, the AD7934-6 interface
operates in byte mode. In this case, the DB8/HBEN pin assumes
its HBEN function.
The data is placed onto the data bus a time, t13, after both CS
and RD go low. The RD rising edge can be used to latch data out
of the device. After a time, t14, the data lines become three-stated.
Conversion data from the AD7934-6 must be accessed in two
read operations with eight bits of data provided on DB0 to DB7
for each of the read operations. The HBEN pin determines
whether the read operation accesses the high byte or the low
byte of the 12-bit word. For a low byte read, DB0 to DB7
provide the eight LSBs of the 12-bit word. For a high byte read,
DB0 to DB3 provide the four MSBs of the 12-bit word. DB4 and
DB5 of the high byte provide the channel ID. DB6 and DB7 are
always 0. Figure 34 shows the read cycle timing diagram for a
12-bit transfer. When operated in word mode, the HBEN input
does not exist and only the first read operation is required to
access data from the device. When operated in byte mode, the
two read cycles shown in Figure 35 are required to access the
full data-word from the device.
Alternatively, CS and RD can be tied permanently low, and the
conversion data is valid and placed onto the data bus a time, t9,
before the falling edge of BUSY.
Note that if RD is pulsed during the conversion time, this causes
a degradation in linearity performance of approximately 0.25
LSB. Reading during conversion by way of tying CS and RD low
does not cause any degradation.

When operating in byte mode, the two write cycles shown in
Figure 37 are required to write the full data-word to the
AD7934-6. In Figure 37, the first write transfers the lower eight
bits of the data-word from DB0 to DB7, and the second write
transfers the upper four bits of the data-word.
Writing Data to the AD7934-6
With W/B tied logic high, a single write operation transfers the
full data-word on DB0 to DB11 to the control register on the
AD7934-6. The DB8/HBEN pin assumes its DB8 function. Data
written to the AD7934-6 should be provided on the DB0 to
DB11 inputs, with DB0 being the LSB of the data-word. With
W/B tied logic low, the AD7934-6 requires two write operations
to transfer a full 12-bit word. DB8/HBEN assumes its HBEN
function. Data written to the AD7934-6 should be provided on
the DB0 to DB7 inputs. HBEN determines whether the byte
written is high byte or low byte data. The low byte of the dataword has DB0 being the LSB of the full data-word. For the high
byte write, HBEN should be high, and the data on the DB0
input should be Data Bit 8 of the 12-bit word.
When writing to the AD7934-6, the top four bits in the high
byte must be 0s.
The data is latched into the device on the rising edge of WR. The
data needs to be set up a time, t7, before the WR rising edge and
held for a time, t8, after the WR rising edge. The CS and WR
signals are gated internally. CS and WR can be tied together as
the timing specification for t4, and t5 is 0 ns minimum (assuming
CS and RD have not already been tied together).
Figure 36 shows the write cycle timing diagram of the AD7934-6.
When operating in word mode, the HBEN input does not exist,
and only one write operation is required to write the word of
data to the device. Data should be provided on DB0 to DB11.

AD7934-6
POWER MODES OF OPERATION
Autostandby Mode (PM1 = 1; PM0 = 0)
The AD7934-6 has four different power modes of operation.
These modes are designed to provide flexible power management options. Different options can be chosen to optimize the
power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for differing applications.
The mode of operation is selected by the power management
bits, PM1 and PM0, in the control register (see Table 8). When
power is first applied to the AD7934-6, an on-chip, power-on
reset circuit ensures that the default power-up condition is
normal mode.
In this mode, the AD7934-6 automatically enters standby mode
at the end of each conversion, shown as Point A in Figure 34.
When this mode is entered, all circuitry on the AD7934-6 is
powered down except for the reference and reference buffer.
The track-and-hold also goes into hold at this point and
remains in hold as long as the device is in standby. The part
remains in standby until the next rising edge of CONVST
powers up the device. The power-up time required depends on
whether the internal or external reference is used. With an
external reference, the power-up time required is a minimum of
600 ns. When using the internal reference, the power-up time
required is a minimum of 7 μs. The user should ensure this
power-up time has elapsed before initiating another conversion
as shown in Figure 38. This rising edge of CONVST also places
the track-and-hold back into track mode.
Note that, after power-on, the track-and-hold is in hold mode,
and the first rising edge of CONVST, places the track-and-hold
into track mode.
Normal Mode (PM1 = PM0 = 0)
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance because the user does not have to allow for power-up times
associated with the AD7934-6. It remains fully powered up at all
times. At power-on reset, this mode is the default setting in the
control register.
Autoshutdown Mode (PM1 = 0; PM0 = 1)
In this mode of operation, the AD7934-6 automatically enters
full shutdown at the end of each conversion, shown at Point A
in Figure 34 and Figure 38. In shutdown mode, all internal
circuitry on the device is powered down. The part retains
information in the control register during shutdown. The trackand-hold also goes into hold at this point, and remains in hold
as long as the device is in shutdown. The AD7934-6 remains in
shutdown mode until the next rising edge of CONVST (see
Point B in Figure 34 and Figure 38). To keep the device in
shutdown for as long as possible, CONVST should idle low
between conversions, as shown in Figure 38. On this rising
edge, the part begins to power up and the track-and-hold
returns to track mode. The power-up time required is 10 ms
minimum regardless of whether the user is operating with the
internal or external reference. The user should ensure that the
power-up time has elapsed before initiating a conversion.
Full Shutdown Mode (PM1 = 1; PM0 = 1)
When this mode is entered, all circuitry on the AD7934-6 is
powered down upon completion of the write operation, that is,
on the rising edge of WR. The track-and-hold enters hold mode
at this point. The part retains the information in the control
register while the part is in shutdown. The AD7934-6 remains
in full shutdown mode, with the track-and-hold in hold mode,
until the power management bits (PM1 and PM0) in the control
register are changed. If a write to the control register occurs
while the part is in full shutdown mode, and the power
management bits are changed to PM0 = PM1 = 0 (normal
mode), the part begins to power up on the WR rising edge, and
the track-and-hold returns to track. To ensure the part is fully
powered up before a conversion is initiated, the power-up time
of 10 ms minimum should be allowed before the CONVST
falling edge; otherwise, invalid data is read.
Note that all power-up times quoted apply with a 470 nF
capacitor on the VREFIN pin.

A considerable advantage of powering the ADC down after a
conversion is that the part’s power consumption is significantly
reduced at lower throughput rates. When using the different
power modes, the AD7934-6 is only powered up for the
duration of the conversion. Therefore, the average power
consumption per cycle is significantly reduced. Figure 39 shows
a plot of the power vs. the throughput rate when operating in
autostandby mode for both VDD = 5 V and 3 V.

If an external reference is used, the power-up time reduces to
600 ns; therefore, the AD7934-6 remains in standby for a
greater time in every cycle. Additionally, the current
consumption when converting should be lower than the
specified maximum of 1.5 mA or 1.2 mA with VDD = 5 V or 3 V,
respectively.
Figure 40 shows a plot of the power vs. the throughput rate
when operating in normal mode for both VDD = 5 V and 3 V.
Again, when using an external reference, the current
consumption when converting is lower than the specified
maximum. In both plots, Figure 39 and Figure 40 apply when
using the internal reference.

AD7934-6 to ADSP-21xx Interface
Figure 41 shows the AD7934-6 interfaced to the ADSP-21xx
series of DSPs as a memory-mapped device. A single wait state
could be necessary to interface the AD7934-6 to the ADSP-21xx,
depending on the clock speed of the DSP. The wait state can be
programmed via the data memory wait state control register of
the ADSP-21xx (see the ADSP-21xx family User’s Manual for
details). The following instruction reads from the AD7934-6:
MR = DM (ADC)

ADC is the address of the AD7934-6.

AD7934-6 to ADSP-21065L Interface
Figure 42 shows a typical interface between the AD7934-6 and
the ADSP-21065L SHARC processor. This interface is an
example of one of three DMA handshake modes. The MSX
control line is actually three memory select lines. Internal
ADDR25 to 24 are decoded into MS3 to 0. These lines are then
asserted as chip selects. The DMAR1 (DMA request 1) is used in
this setup as the interrupt to signal the end of the conversion.
The rest of the interface is a standard handshaking operation.

AD7934-6 to TMS32020, TMS320C25, and
TMS320C5x Interface
Figure 44 shows the AD7934-6 interfaced to the 80C186
microprocessor. The 80C186 DMA controller provides two
independent high speed DMA channels where data transfer can
occur between memory and I/O spaces. Each data transfer
consumes two bus cycles, one cycle to fetch data and the other to
store data. After the AD7934-6 has finished a conversion, the
BUSY line generates a DMA request to Channel 1 (DRQ1).
Because of the interrupt, the processor performs a DMA read
operation that also resets the interrupt latch. Sufficient priority
must be assigned to the DMA channel to ensure that the DMA
request is serviced before the completion of the next conversion.
Parallel interfaces between the AD7934-6 and the TMS32020,
TMS320C25, and TMS320C5x family of DSPs are shown in
Figure 43. The memory-mapped address chosen for the
AD7934-6 should be chosen to fall in the I/O memory space of
the DSPs. The parallel interface on the AD7934-6 is fast enough
to interface to the TMS32020 with no extra wait states. If high
speed glue logic devices, such as the 74AS, are used to drive the
RD and the WR lines when interfacing to the TMS320C25, no
wait states are necessary. However, if slower logic is used, data
accesses could be slowed sufficiently when reading from, and
writing to, the part to require the insertion of one wait state.
Extra wait states are necessary when using the TMS320C5x at
their fastest clock speeds (see the TMS320C5x User’s Guide for
details).

APPLICATION HINTS
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7934-6 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. Generally, a
minimum etch technique is best for ground planes since 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 ground pins on the
AD7934-6 as possible. Avoid running digital lines under the
device as this couples noise onto the die. The analog ground
plane should be allowed to run under the AD7934-6 to avoid
noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7934-6 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, such as 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 reduces the effects of feedthrough through the
board. A microstrip technique is by far 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.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should
be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum capacitors in parallel with
0.1 μF capacitors to GND. To achieve the best performance
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 capacitors should have low effective series
resistance (ESR) and effective series inductance (ESI), such as
the common ceramic types or surface-mount types, which
provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to
handle transient currents due to internal logic switching.
EVALUATING THE AD7934-6 PERFORMANCE
The recommended layout for the AD7934-6 is outlined in the
evaluation board documentation. The evaluation board package
includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board,
documentation, and software for controlling the board from
the PC via the evaluation board controller. The evaluation
board controller can be used in conjunction with the AD7934-6
evaluation board, as well as with many other Analog Devices
evaluation boards ending in the CB designator, to demonstrate
and evaluate the ac and dc performance of the AD7934-6.
The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier
transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7934-6.
The software and documentation are on the CD that ships with
the evaluation board.

The Evaluation Board Controller is a complete unit that allows a PC to control and communicate with all Analog Devices evaluation boards ending in the letters CB.
The following needs to be ordered to obtain a complete evaluation kit: the ADC Evaluation Board (for example, EVAL-AD7934CB), the EVAL-CONTROL-BRD2, and a
12 V ac transformer. See the relevant evaluation board data sheet for more details.
