AD7927
Figure 1.
The AD7927 is a 12-bit, high speed, low power, 8-channel,
successive approximation ADC. The part operates from a
single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput
rates up to 200 kSPS. The part contains a low noise, wide
bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input
frequencies in excess of 8 MHz.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
High Throughput with Low Power Consumption.
The AD7927 offers up to 200 kSPS throughput rates. At the
maximum throughput rate with 3 V supplies, the AD7927
dissipates 3.6 mW of power maximum.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using
CS and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily interface
with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the
falling edge of CS and the conversion is also initiated at this
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.
2.
Eight Single-Ended Inputs with a Channel Sequencer.
A consecutive sequence of channels can be selected on
which the ADC cycles and converts.
3.
Single-Supply Operation with VDRIVE Function.
The AD7927 operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply.
The VDRIVE function allows the serial interface to connect
directly to either 3 V or 5 V processor systems independent
of AVDD.
4.
Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management.
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock,
allowing the conversion time to be reduced through the
serial clock speed increase. The part also features various
shutdown modes to maximize power efficiency at lower
throughput rates. Current consumption is 0.5 μA maximum when in full shutdown.
5.
No Pipeline Delay.
The part features a standard successive approximation ADC
with a CS input pin, which allows for accurate control of
each sampling instant.
The AD7927 uses advanced design techniques to achieve
very low power dissipation at maximum throughput rates. At
maximum throughput rates, the AD7927 consumes 1.2 mA
maximum with 3 V supplies; with 5 V supplies, the current
consumption is 1.5 mA maximum.
Through the configuration of the control register, the analog
input range for the part can be selected as 0 V to REFIN or 0 V
to 2 × REFIN, with either straight binary or twos complement
output coding. The AD7927 features eight single-ended analog
inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a preprogrammed
selection of channels to be converted sequentially.
The conversion time for the AD7927 is determined by the
SCLK frequency, as this is also used as the master clock to
control the conversion. The conversion time may be as short
as 800 ns with a 20 MHz SCLK.

Sample tested at 25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of AVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V,
(see Figure 2). The 3 V operating range spans from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The 5 V operating range spans from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
Mark/space ratio for the SCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40.

t8 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 the time, quoted in the t8 timing characteristics, is the true bus relinquish time
of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

Description
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 AD7927 conversion process.
Data In. Logic input. Data to be written to the AD7927 control register is provided on this input and is clocked
into the register on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Control Register section).
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the
AD7927 and framing the serial data transfer.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7927. All analog input signals
and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. All AGND pins should be
connected together.
Analog Power Supply Input. The AVDD range for the AD7927 is from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. For the 0 V to 2 × REFIN
range, AVDD should be from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
Reference Input for the AD7927. An external reference must be applied to this input. The voltage range for
the external reference is 2.5 V ±1% for specified performance.
Analog Input 0 through Analog Input 7. Eight single-ended analog input channels that are multiplexed into
the on-chip track-and-hold. The analog input channel to be converted is selected by using the address bits
(ADD2 through ADD0) of the control register. ADD2 through ADD0, in conjunction with the SEQ and
SHADOW bits, allow the sequencer to be programmed. The input range for all input channels can extend
from 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN, as selected via the RANGE bit in the control register. Any unused input
channels should be connected to AGND to avoid noise pickup.
Data Out. Logic output. The conversion result from the AD7927 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 from the AD7927
consists of two leading zeros, two address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to,
followed by the 12 bits of conversion data (MSB first). The output coding may be selected as straight binary or
twos complement via the CODING bit in the control register.
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the serial interface of
the AD7927 operates.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB
below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB
above the last code transition. Figure 9 shows a typical INL
plot for the AD7927.
Negative Gain Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of
the first code transition (100 . . . 000) to (100 . . . 001) from the
ideal (that is, −REFIN + 1 LSB) after the zero code error has been
adjusted out.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
DNL is the difference between the measured and the ideal
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Figure 10 shows a typical DNL plot for the AD7927.
Negative Gain Error Match
This is the difference in negative gain error between any two
channels.
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, REFIN − 1 LSB) after the
offset error has been adjusted out.
Gain Error Match
This is the difference in gain error between any two channels.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of
crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a fullscale 400 kHz sine wave signal to all seven nonselected input
channels and determining how much that signal is attenuated
in the selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. The figure given is
the worst case across all eight channels for the AD7927.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition,
but not the converter’s linearity. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in full-scale transition point due to a change
in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the Typical
Performance Characteristics section).
Zero Code Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of
the midscale transition (all 0s to all 1s) from the ideal VIN
voltage, that is, REFIN − 1 LSB.
Power Supply Rejection Ration (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 200 mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC AVDD
supply of frequency (fS):
Zero Code Error Match
This is the difference in zero code error between any two
channels.
where:
Pf is equal to the power at Frequency f in ADC output.
PfS is equal to the power at Frequency fS coupled onto the
ADC AVDD.
Positive Gain Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of the
last code transition (011. . .110) to (011 . . . 111) from the ideal
(that is, +REFIN − 1 LSB) after the zero code error has been
adjusted out.
Here a 200 mV p-p sine wave is coupled onto the AVDD supply.
Figure 6 shows the power supply rejection ratio vs. supply ripple
frequency for the AD7927 with no decoupling.
Positive Gain Error Match
This is the difference in positive gain error between any two
channels.
PSRR(dB) = 10log(Pf/PfS)
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track mode at the
end of conversion. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the time
required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach
its final value, within ±1 LSB, after the end of conversion.
Rev. D | Page 8 of 28
Data Sheet
AD7927
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
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) = (6.02N + 1.76)dB
Thus, for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB. Figure 5 shows the
signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio performance vs. input frequency for various supply voltages while sampling at 200 kSPS
with an SCLK of 20 MHz.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the
fundamental. For the AD7927, it is defined as:
THD(dB)  20 log
V22  V32  V 42  V52  V62
V1
where:
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second
through the sixth harmonics.
Figure 7 shows a graph of total harmonic distortion vs. analog
input frequency for various supply voltages, and Figure 8 shows
a graph of total harmonic distortion vs. analog input frequency
for various source impedances (see the Analog Input section).

CONTROL REGISTER
The control register on the AD7927 is a 12-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7927 on the falling edge of
SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time that the conversion result is read from the part. The data transferred on
the DIN line corresponds to the AD7927 configuration for the next conversion. This requires 16 serial clocks for every data transfer. Only
the information provided on the first 12 falling clock edges (after CS falling edge) is loaded to the control register. MSB denotes the first
bit in the data stream. The bit functions are outlined in Table 5.

Description
The value written to this bit of the control register determines whether the following 11 bits are loaded to
the control register. If this bit is a 1, the following 11 bits are written to the control register; if it is a 0, then the
remaining 11 bits are not loaded to the control register and it remains unchanged.
The SEQ bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the SHADOW bit to control the use of the sequencer
function and access the shadow register (see Table 10).
Don’t care.
These three address bits are loaded at the end of the present conversion and select which analog input channel
is to be converted in the next serial transfer, or they may select the final channel in a consecutive sequence as
described in Table 9. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 7. The address bits corresponding
to the conversion result are also output on DOUT prior to the 12 bits of data (see the Serial Interface section). The
next channel to be converted on is selected by the mux on the 14th SCLK falling edge.
Power Management Bits. These two bits decode the mode of operation of the AD7927 as shown in Table 8.
The SHADOW bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the SEQ bit to control the use of the sequencer
function and access the shadow register (see Table 10).
Don’t care.
This bit selects the analog input range to be used on the AD7927. If it is set to 0, the analog input range extends
from 0 V to 2 × REFIN. If it is set to 1, the analog input range extends from 0 V to REFIN (for the next conversion). For
the 0 V to 2 × REFIN range, AVDD = 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
This bit selects the type of output coding the AD7927 uses for the conversion result. If this bit is set to 0, the
output coding for the part is twos complement. If this bit is set to 1, the output coding from the part is straight
binary (for the next conversion).

Full Shutdown. In this mode, the AD7927 is in full shutdown mode with all circuitry on the AD7927 powering
down. The AD7927 retains the information in the control register while in full shutdown. The part remains in full
shutdown until these bits are changed.
Auto Shutdown. In this mode, the AD7927 automatically enters full shutdown mode at the end of each conversion
when the control register is updated. Wake-up time from full shutdown is 1 μs and the user should ensure that 1
μs has elapsed before attempting to perform a valid conversion on the part in this mode.
Invalid Selection. This configuration is not allowed.

SEQUENCER OPERATION

Sequence Type
This configuration means that the sequence function is not used. The analog input channel selected for each
individual conversion is determined by the contents of the channel address bits, ADD0 through ADD2, in each
prior write operation. This mode of operation reflects the traditional operation of a multichannel ADC, without
the sequencer function being used, where each write to the AD7927 selects the next channel for conversion (see
Figure 11).
This configuration selects the shadow register for programming. The following write operation loads the contents of
the shadow register. This programs the sequence of channels converted on continuously with each successive valid
CS falling edge (see the Shadow Register section, Table 10, and Figure 12). The channels selected need not be
consecutive.
If the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set in this way, the sequence function is not interrupted upon completion of
the WRITE operation. This allows other bits in the control register to be altered between conversions while in a
sequence, without terminating the cycle.
This configuration is used in conjunction with the channel address bits, ADD2 to 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 (see Figure 13).

--------------------------------SEQUENCE ONE--------------------------------
The shadow register on the AD7927 is a 16-bit, write-only register.
Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7927 on the falling
edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the
same time that a conversion result is read from the part. This
requires 16 serial clock falling edges for the data transfer. The
information is clocked into the shadow register, provided that
the SEQ and SHADOW bits were set to 0, 1, respectively, in the
previous write to the control register. MSB denotes the first bit
in the data stream. Each bit represents an analog input from
Channel 0 to Channel 7. Through programming the shadow
register, two sequences of channels may be selected, through
which the AD7927 cycles with each consecutive conversion
after the write to the shadow register. Sequence One is performed first and then Sequence Two. If the user does not
wish to perform a second sequence option, then all 0s must be
written to the last eight LSBs of the shadow register. To select a
sequence of channels, the associated channel bit must be set for
each analog input. The AD7927 continuously cycles through
the selected channels in ascending order, beginning with the
lowest channel, until a write operation occurs (that is, the WRITE
bit is set to 1) with the SEQ and SHADOW bits configured in
any way except 1, 0 (see Table 9). The bit functions are outlined
in Table 10.

CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7927 is a 12-bit successive approximation ADC based
around a capacitive DAC. The AD7927 can convert analog input
signals in the range 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN. Figure 14
and Figure 15 show simplified schematics of the ADC. The ADC
is comprised of control logic, SAR, and a capacitive DAC that
are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the
sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. Figure 14 shows the ADC during its acquisition
phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is in Position A. The comparator
is held in a balanced condition and the sampling capacitor
acquires the signal on the selected VIN channel.

The AD7927 provides the user with an on-chip, track-and-hold
ADC and a serial interface housed in a 20-lead TSSOP. The
AD7927 has eight single-ended input channels with a channel
sequencer, allowing the user to select a channel sequence
through which the ADC can cycle with each consecutive CS
falling edge. The serial clock input accesses data from the part,
controls the transfer of data written to the ADC, and provides
the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The
analog input range for the AD7927 is 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to
2 × REFIN, depending on the status of Bit 1 in the control register.
For the 0 to 2 × REFIN range, the part must be operated from a
4.75 V to 5.25 V supply.
The AD7927 provides flexible power management options
to allow the user 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.

ANALOG INPUT
Figure 16 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure of the AD7927. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD
protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure
that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by
more than 300 mV. This causes these diodes to become forward
biased and start conducting current into the substrate. 10 mA is
the maximum current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part. Capacitor C1, in Figure 16
is typically about 4 pF 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-and-hold switch) and also
includes the on resistance of the input multiplexer. The total
resistance is typically about 400 Ω. The capacitor, C2, is the
ADC sampling capacitor and has a capacitance of 30 pF typically.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, limit
the source impedance to low values. The maximum source
impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be
tolerated. The THD increases as the source impedance
increases, and performance degrades (see Figure 8).

The output coding of the AD7927 is either straight binary
or twos complement, depending on the status of the LSB in
the control register. The designed code transitions occur at
successive LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so forth).
The LSB size is REFIN/4096 for the AD7927. The ideal transfer
characteristic for the AD7927 when straight binary coding is
selected is shown in Figure 17, and the ideal transfer characteristic
for the AD7927 when twos complement coding is selected is
shown in Figure 18.

Figure 19 shows how useful the combination of the 2 × REFIN
input range and the twos complement output coding scheme
is for handling bipolar input signals. If the bipolar input signal
is biased about REFIN and twos complement output coding is

For ac applications, removing high frequency components from
the analog input signal is recommended by use of an RC lowpass 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 significantly affect the ac performance of the
ADC. This may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.
The choice of the op amp is a function of the particular application.

AD7927
TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 20 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7927.
In this setup, the AGND pin is connected to the analog ground
plane of the system. In Figure 20, REFIN is connected to a decoupled 2.5 V supply from a reference source, the AD780, to provide
an analog input range of 0 V to 2.5 V (if the RANGE bit is 1)
or 0 V to 5 V (if the RANGE bit is 0). Although the AD7927 is
connected to a AVDD of 5 V, the serial interface is connected to a
3 V microprocessor. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7927 is connected
to the same 3 V supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3 V
logic interface (see the Digital Inputs section). The conversion
result is output in a 16-bit word. This 16-bit data stream consists
of one leading zero, three address bits indicating which channel
the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of
conversion data. 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 the Modes of Operation section).

ANALOG INPUT SELECTION
Any one of eight analog input channels may be selected for
conversion by programming the multiplexer with the address
bits (ADD2 though ADD0) in the control register. The channel
configurations are shown in Table 7.
The AD7927 may also be configured to automatically cycle
through a number of channels as selected. The sequencer feature is
accessed via the SEQ and SHADOW bits in the control register
(see Table 9). The AD7927 can be programmed to continuously
convert on a selection of channels in ascending order. The analog
input channels to be converted on are selected through programming the relevant bits in the shadow register (see Table 10). The
next serial transfer then acts on the sequence programmed by
executing a conversion on the lowest channel in the selection.
The next serial transfer results in the conversion on the next
highest channel in the sequence, and so on.
It is not necessary to write to the control register once a
sequencer operation has been initiated. The WRITE bit must
be set to zero or the DIN line tied low to ensure that the control
register is not accidentally overwritten, or the sequence operation interrupted. If the control register is written to at any time
during the sequence, the user must ensure that the SEQ and
SHADOW bits are set to 1, 0, respectively to avoid interrupting
the automatic conversion sequence. This pattern continues until
such time as the AD7927 is written to and the SEQ and SHADOW
bits are configured with any bit combination except 1, 0. On
completion of the sequence, the AD7927 sequencer returns to
the first selected channel in the shadow register and commence
the sequence again.
Rather than selecting a particular sequence of channels, a
number of consecutive channels beginning with Channel 0
may also be programmed via the control register alone without
needing to write to the shadow register. This is possible if the
SEQ and SHADOW bits are set to 1, 1, respectively. The channel
address bits, ADD2 through ADD0, then determine the final
channel in the consecutive sequence. The next conversion is on
Channel 0, then Channel 1, and so on until the channel selected
via the Address Bit ADD2 through Address Bit ADD0 is reached.
The cycle begins again on the next serial transfer provided the
WRITE bit is set to low, or if high, that the SEQ and SHADOW
bits are set to 1, 0, respectively; then the ADC continues its preprogrammed automatic sequence uninterrupted.
Regardless of which channel selection method is used, the
16-bit word output from the AD7927 during each conversion
always contains one leading zero, three channel address bits
that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12-bit
conversion result (see the Serial Interface section).
DIGITAL INPUTS
The digital inputs applied to the AD7927 are not limited by
the maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs. Instead, the
digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not restricted by the
AVDD + 0.3 V limit as on the analog inputs.
Another advantage of SCLK, DIN, and CS not being restricted
by the AVDD + 0.3 V limit is that possible power supply sequencing issues are avoided. If CS, DIN, or SCLK are applied before
AVDD, there is no risk of latch-up as there would be on the analog
inputs if a signal greater than 0.3 V was applied prior to AVDD.

THE REFERENCE
The AD7927 also has the VDRIVE feature. VDRIVE controls the voltage at which the serial interface operates. VDRIVE allows the ADC
to easily interface to both 3 V and 5 V processors. For example,
if the AD7927 were operated with an AVDD of 5 V, the VDRIVE pin
could be powered from a 3 V supply. The AD7927 has a larger
dynamic range with an AVDD of 5 V while still being able to
interface to 3 V processors. Take care to ensure VDRIVE does not
exceed AVDD by more than 0.3 V (see the Absolute Maximum
Ratings section).
An external reference source should be used to supply the
2.5 V reference to the AD7927. Errors in the reference source
result in gain errors in the AD7927 transfer function and add
to the specified full-scale errors of the part. A capacitor of at
least 0.1 μF should be placed on the REFIN pin. Suitable reference sources for the AD7927 include the AD780, REF192, and
the AD1582.
If 2.5 V is applied to the REFIN pin, the analog input range can
be either 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, depending on the setting of
the RANGE bit in the control register.

AD7927
MODES OF OPERATION
For specified performance, the throughput rate should not
exceed 200 kSPS, which means there should be no less than
5 μs between consecutive falling edges of CS when converting.
The actual frequency of SCLK used determines the duration of
the conversion within this 5 μs cycle; however, once a conversion
is complete and CS has returned high, a minimum of the quiet
time, tQUIET, must elapse before bringing CS low again to initiate
another conversion.
The AD7927 has a number of different modes of operation,
which 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. The mode of operation of the AD7927 is controlled by the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the
control register, as detailed in Table 8. When power supplies
are first applied to the AD7927, care should be taken to ensure
that the part is placed in the required mode of operation (see
the Powering Up the AD7927 section).

The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS and the trackand-hold enters hold mode as described in the Serial Interface
section. The data presented to the AD7927 on the DIN line
during the first 12 clock cycles of the data transfer are loaded
into the control register (provided the WRITE bit is 1). If data is
to be written to the shadow register (SEQ = 0, SHADOW = 1 on
the previous write), data presented on the DIN line during the
first 16 SCLK cycles is loaded into the shadow register. The part
remains fully powered up in normal mode at the end of the
conversion as long as PM1 and PM0 are set to 1 in the write
transfer during that conversion. To ensure continued operation
in normal mode, PM1 and PM0 are both 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 goes back into track on the 14th SCLK falling
edge. CS may then idle high until the next conversion or may
idle low until sometime prior to the next conversion (effectively
idling CS low).
03088-021
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance because the user does not have to worry about any powerup times with the AD7927 remaining fully powered at all times.
Figure 21 shows the general diagram of the operation of the
AD7927 in this mode.
Figure 21. Normal Mode Operation
FULL SHUTDOWN (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)
In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7927 is powered
down. The part retains information in the control register during
full shutdown. The AD7927 remains in full shutdown 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, with the power management bits changed to PM0 =
CS rising edge. The track-and-hold that was in hold while the
part was in full shutdown returns to track on the 14th SCLK
falling edge. A full 16-SCLK transfer must occur to ensure the
control register contents are updated; however, the DOUT line
is not driven during this wake-up transfer.
To ensure that the part is fully powered up, tPOWER UP should have
elapsed before the next CS falling edge; otherwise, invalid data
is read if a conversion is initiated before this time. Figure 22 shows
the general diagram for this sequence.

AUTO SHUTDOWN (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 1)
Depending on the SCLK frequency used, this dummy transfer
may affect the achievable throughput rate of the part, with every
other data transfer being a valid conversion result. If, for example,
the maximum SCLK frequency of 20 MHz was used, the auto
shutdown mode could be used at the full throughput rate of
200 kSPS without affecting the throughput rate at all. Only a
portion of the cycle time is taken up by the conversion time and
the dummy transfer for wake-up.
In this mode, the AD7927 automatically enters shutdown at the
end of each conversion when the control register is updated.
When the part is in shutdown, the track-and-hold is in hold
mode. Figure 23 shows the general diagram of the operation
of the AD7927 in this mode. In shutdown mode all internal
circuitry on the AD7927 is powered down. The part retains
information in the control register during shutdown. The AD7927
remains in shutdown until the next CS falling edge it receives.
On this CS falling edge, the track-and-hold that was in hold
while the part was in shutdown returns to track. Wake-up time
from auto shutdown is 1 μs maximum, and the user should
ensure that 1 μs has elapsed before attempting a valid conversion.
When running the AD7927 with a 20 MHz clock, one dummy
16 SCLK transfer should be sufficient to ensure the part is fully
powered up. During this dummy transfer, the contents of the
control register should remain unchanged; therefore, the
WRITE bit should be 0 on the DIN line.

In this mode, the power consumption of the part is greatly
reduced with the part entering shutdown at the end of each
conversion. When the control register is programmed to move
into auto shutdown, it does so at the end of the conversion. The
user can move the ADC in and out of the low power state by
controlling the CS signal.

Figure 24. Three-Dummy-Conversions to Place AD7927 into the Required Operating Mode After Power Supplies Are Applied
The three-dummy-conversion operation outlined in Figure 24
must be performed to place the part into the auto shutdown
mode. The first two conversions of this dummy cycle operation
are performed with the DIN line tied high, and for the third
conversion of the dummy cycle operation, the user should
write the desired control register configuration to the AD7927
to place the part into the auto shutdown mode. On the third CS
rising edge after the supplies are applied, the control register
contains the correct information and valid data results from the
next conversion.
Therefore, to ensure the part is placed into the correct operating
mode, when supplies are first applied to the AD7927, the user
must first issue two serial write operations with the DIN line
tied high, and on the third conversion cycle the user can then
write to the control register to place to part into any of the operating modes. The user should not write to the shadow register
until the fourth conversion cycle after the supplies are applied
to the ADC, to guarantee the control register contains the
correct data.
If the user wishes to place the part into either the normal or full
shutdown mode, the second dummy cycle with DIN tied high
can be omitted from the three-dummy-conversion operation
outlined in Figure 24.
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
In auto shutdown mode, the average power consumption of
the ADC may be reduced at any given throughput rate. The
power saving depends on the SCLK frequency used, that is,
conversion time. In some cases where the conversion time is
quite a proportion of the cycle time, the throughput rate needs
to be reduced to take advantage of the power-down modes.
Assuming a 20 MHz SCLK is used, the conversion time is
800 ns, but the cycle time is 5 μs when the sampling rate is at a
For example, if the AD7927 is operated in a continuous sampling
mode, with a throughput rate of 200 kSPS and an SCLK of 20 MHz
(AVDD = 5 V), and the device is placed in auto shutdown mode,
that is, if PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1, then the power consumption is
calculated as follows.
The maximum power dissipation during the conversion time is
13.5 mW (IDD = 2.7 mA maximum, AVDD = 5 V). If the powerup time from auto shutdown is 1 μs and the remaining conversion
time is another cycle, that is, 800 ns, the AD7927 can be said to
dissipate 13.5 mW for 1.8 μs during each conversion cycle. For
the remainder of the conversion cycle, 3.2 μs, the part remains
in shutdown. The AD7927 can be said to dissipate 2.5 μW for
the remaining 3.2 μs of the conversion cycle. If the throughput
rate is 200 kSPS, the cycle time is 5 μs and the average power
dissipated during each cycle is (1.8/5) × (13.5 mW) + (3.2/5) ×
(2.5 μW) = 4.8616 mW.
Figure 25 shows the maximum power vs. throughput rate when
using the auto shutdown mode with 3 V and 5 V supplies.

for the remainder of the cycle time, then on average far less power
is consumed in every cycle compared to leaving the device in
normal mode. Furthermore, Figure 25 shows how as the throughput rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown longer and
the average power consumption drops accordingly over time.

SERIAL INTERFACE
information to the shadow register takes place on all 16 SCLK
falling edges in the next serial transfer as shown for example on
the AD7927 in Figure 27. Two sequence options can be programmed in the shadow register. If the user does not want to
program a second sequence, then the eight LSBs should be filled
with zeros. The shadow register is updated upon the rising edge
of CS and the track-and-hold begins to track the first channel
selected in the sequence.
Figure 26 shows the detailed timing diagram for serial interfacing to the AD7927. The serial clock provides the conversion
clock and also controls the transfer of information to and from
the AD7927 during each conversion.
The CS signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process.
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
at this point. The conversion is also initiated at this point and
requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. The track-and-hold goes
back into track on the 14th SCLK falling edge as shown in
Figure 26 at Point B, except when the write is to the shadow
register, in which case the track-and-hold does not return to
track until the rising edge of CS, that is, Point C in Figure 27.
On the 16th SCLK falling edge the DOUT line goes back into
three-state. If the rising edge of CS occurs before 16 SCLKs have
elapsed, the conversion is terminated and the DOUT line goes
back into three-state and the control register is not be updated;
otherwise DOUT returns to three-state on the 16th SCLK falling
edge, as shown in Figure 26. Sixteen serial clock cycles are
required to perform the conversion process and to access data
from the AD7927. For the AD7927, the 12 bits of data are
preceded by a leading zero and the three-channel address bits
(ADD2 to ADD0) identifying which channel the result
corresponds to. CS going low provides the leading zero to be
read in by the microcontroller or DSP. The three remaining
address bits and data bits are then clocked out by subsequent
SCLK falling edges beginning with the first address bit (ADD2)
thus the first falling clock edge on the serial clock has a leading
zero provided and also clocks out Address Bit ADD2. The final
bit in the data transfer is valid on the 16th falling edge, having
been clocked out on the previous (15th) falling edge.
The 16-bit word read from the AD7927 always contains a leading
zero and three-channel address bits that the conversion result
corresponds to, followed by the 12-bit conversion result.
WRITING BETWEEN CONVERSIONS
As outlined in the Modes of Operation section, no less than 5 μs
should be left between consecutive valid conversions. However,
there is one case where this does not necessarily mean that at
least 5 μs should always be left between CS falling edges. Consider the prior to a valid conversion. The user must write to the
part to tell it to power up before it can convert successfully. Once
the serial write to power up has finished, it may be desirable to
perform the conversion as soon as possible and not have to wait
a further 5 μs before bringing CS low for the conversion. In this
case, as long as there is a minimum of 5 μs between each valid
conversion, then only the quiet time between the CS rising edge
at the end of the write to power up and the next CS falling edge
for a valid conversion needs to be met (see Figure 28). Note that
when writing to the AD7927 between these valid conversions,
the DOUT line is not driven during the extra write operation,
as shown in Figure 28.
It is critical that an extra write operation as outlined previously
is never issued between valid conversions when the AD7927 is
executing through a sequence function, as the falling edge of CS
in the extra write would move the mux on to the next channel
in the sequence. This means when the next valid conversion
takes place, a channel result would have been missed.
Writing of information to the control register takes place on the
first 12 falling edges of SCLK in a data transfer, assuming the MSB
(that is, the WRITE bit) has been set to 1. If the control register
is programmed to use the shadow register, then the writing of

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The serial interface on the AD7927 allows the part to be directly
connected to a range of many different microprocessors. This

more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.

has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT0 tied together, with TFS set
as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in alternate framing mode and the SPORT0 control register is set up as
described. The frame synchronization 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
achieved.

The serial interface on the TMS320C541 uses a continuous serial
clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize the
data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the AD7927.
The CS input allows easy interfacing between the TMS320C541
and the AD7927 without any glue logic required. The serial port
of the TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode with internal CLKX0 (TX serial clock on Serial Port 0) and FSX0 (TX
frame sync from Serial Port 0). The serial port control register
(SPC) must have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM =
1, and TXM = 1. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 29.
It should be noted that for signal processing applications, it is
imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the
TMS320C541 provides equidistant sampling. The VDRIVE pin
of the AD7927 takes the same supply voltage as that of the
TMS320C541. This allows the ADC to operate at a higher
voltage than the serial interface, that is, TMS320C541, if
necessary.
AD7927*
The SPORT0 control register should be set up as follows:
Figure 30. Interfacing to the ADSP-218x
The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs is interfaced directly to the
AD7927 without any glue logic required. The VDRIVE pin of the
AD7927 takes the same supply voltage as that of the ADSP-218x.
This allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the
serial interface, that is, ADSP-218x, if necessary.
The timer register, for instance, is loaded with a value that
provides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When
an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS or DT,
(ADC control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and
therefore 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 (that is, AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is
checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and
high before transmission starts. 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.

WL1 = 1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP bit in the CRB should
be set to 1 so the frame sync is negative. It should be noted that
for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame
synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provides equidistant
sampling.
In the example shown in Figure 31, the serial clock is taken
from the ESSI so the SCK0 pin must be set as an output, SCKD
= 1. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7927 takes the same supply voltage
as that of the DSP563xx. This allows the ADC to operate at a
higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, DSP563xx, if
necessary.

The connection diagram in Figure 31 shows how the AD7927

ESSI (two on board) is operated in synchronous mode (SYN
bit in CRB = 1) with internally generated word length frame
sync for both TX and RX (Bit FSL1 = 0 and Bit FSL0 = 0 in
CRB). Normal operation of the ESSI is selected by making
MOD = 0 in the CRB. Set the word length to 16 by setting bits

For example, if the ADSP-2189 had a 20 MHz crystal such that
it had a master clock frequency of 40 MHz, then the master
cycle time would be 25 ns. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded
with the value of 3, then an SCLK of 5 MHz is obtained and
eight master clock periods elapse for every one SCLK period.
Depending on the throughput rate selected, if the timer registers
are loaded with the value, of 803, for example, then 100.5 SCLKs
occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit
instructions. This situation results in sampling that is not equidistant as the transmit instruction is occurring on a SCLK edge.
If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer
figure of N, then equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP.

APPLICATION HINTS
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The AD7927 has very good immunity to noise on the power
supplies as can be seen in Figure 6. However, care should still
be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7927 should be
designed such 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 separated easily. A minimum
etch technique is generally best for ground planes as it gives the
best shielding. All three AGND pins of the AD7927 should be
sunk in the AGND plane. Digital and analog ground planes
should be joined at only one place. If the AD7927 is in a system
where multiple devices require an AGND to DGND connection, the connection should still be made at one point only, a
star ground point that should be established as close as possible
to the AD7927.
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these couple
noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed
to run under the AD7927 to avoid noise coupling. The power
supply lines to the AD7927 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 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 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 in parallel with 0.1 μF capacitors to AGND. 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 0.1 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.
