7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The ADS7251 and ADS7851 are pin-compatible, dual, simultaneous-sampling, analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs). Each device features two independent internal voltage references and supports fully-differential input
signals with the input common-mode on each input pin equal to the reference voltage. The full-scale input signal
on each input pin is equal to twice the reference voltage. The devices provide a simple, serial interface to the
host controller and operate over a wide range of digital power supplies.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Reference
The device has two simultaneous sampling ADCs (ADC_A and ADC_B) and two independent internal reference
sources (INTREF_A and INTREF_B). INTREF_A outputs voltage VREF_A on pin REFOUT_A and INTREF_B
outputs voltage VREF_B on pin REFOUT_B. As shown in Figure 38, the REFOUT_A and REFOUT_B pins must
be decoupled with the REFGND_A and REFGND_B pins, respectively, with individual 22-µF decoupling
capacitors. ADC_A operates with reference voltage VREF_A and ADC_B operates with reference voltage VREF_B.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Analog Input
The devices support fully-differential analog input signals. These inputs are sampled and converted
simultaneously by the two ADCs, ADC_A and ADC_B. Figure 39a and Figure 39b show equivalent circuits for
the ADC_A and ADC_B analog input pins, respectively.
Series resistance (RS) represents the on-state sampling switch resistance (typically 50 Ω) and CSAMPLE is the
device sampling capacitor (typically 40 pF). ADC_A samples VAINP_A and VAINM_A and converts for the difference
voltage (VAINP_A – VAINM_A). ADC_B samples VAINP_B and VAINM_B and converts for the difference voltage
(VAINP_B – VAINM_B).

7.3.2.1 Analog Input Full-Scale Range
The analog input full-scale range (FSR) for ADC_A and ADC_B is twice the reference voltage provided to the
particular ADC. Therefore, the FSR for ADC_A and ADC_B can be determined by Equation 1 and Equation 2,
respectively:
FSR_ADC_A = 2 × VREF_A,
VAINP_A and VAINM_A = 0 to 2 × VREF_A,
(1)
FSR_ADC_B = 2 × VREF_B,
VAINP_B and VAINM_B = 0 to 2 × VREFIN_B
(2)
To use the full dynamic input range on the analog input pins, AVDD must be as shown in Equation 3, Equation 4,
and Equation 5:
AVDD ≥ 2 × VREF_A
AVDD ≥ 2 × VREF_B
4.5 V ≤ AVDD ≤ 5.5 V
(3)
(4)
(5)
7.3.2.2 Common-Mode Voltage Range
For the analog input, the devices support a common-mode voltage equal to the reference voltage provided to the
ADC. Therefore, the common-mode voltage for the ADC_A and ADC_B must be as shown in Equation 6 and
Equation 7, respectively.
VCM_A = VREF_A
VCM_B = VREF_B

7.3.3 ADC Transfer Function
The device output is in twos compliment format. Device resolution for the fully-differential input can be computed
by Equation 8:
1 LSB = (4 × VREF) / (2N)
where:
•
•
VREF = VREF_A = VREF_B, and
N = 12 (ADS7251), or 14 (ADS7851).

Table 1 shows the different input voltages and the corresponding device output codes. Figure 40 shows the ideal
transfer characteristics for the device.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Serial Interface
The devices support a simple, SPI-compatible interface to the external digital host. The CS signal defines one
conversion and serial transfer frame. A frame starts with a CS falling edge and ends with a CS rising edge. The
SDO_A and SDO_B pins output the ADC_A and ADC_B conversion results, respectively. Figure 41 shows a
detailed timing diagram for the ADS7251.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
A CS falling edge brings the serial data bus out of 3-state and also outputs '0' on the SDO_A and SDO_B pins. A
minimum delay of tSU_CSCK must elapse between the CS falling edge and the first SCLK falling edge. The
subsequent clock edges are used to shift out the conversion result using the serial interface, as shown in
Table 2. The sample-and-hold circuit returns to sample mode as soon as the conversion process is over. Any
extra clock edges output a '0' on the SDO pins. A CS rising edge ends the frame and brings the serial data bus
to 3-state.

7.4.2 Short-Cycling Feature
For the ADS7851, a minimum of 16 SCLK rising edges must be provided between the beginning and end of the
frame to complete the 14-bit data transfer. For the ADS7251, a minimum of 14 SCLK rising edges must be
provided between the beginning and end of the frame to complete the 12-bit data transfer. As shown in
Figure 43, if CS is brought high before the expected number of SCLK rising edges are provided, the current
frame is aborted and the device starts sampling the new analog input signal. However, the output data bits
latched into the digital host before this CS rising edge are still valid data corresponding to sample N.
After aborting the current frame, CS must be kept high for tACQ to ensure minimum acquisition time is provided
for the next conversion.

8 Application and Implementation
8.1 Application Information

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.1 Design Requirements
For the ADS7251, design an input driver and reference driver circuit to achieve > 71-dB SNR and < –90-dB THD
at input frequencies of 10 kHz and 100 kHz.
For the ADS7851, design an input driver and reference driver circuit to achieve > 81-dB SNR and < –90-dB THD
at input frequencies of 10 kHz and 100 kHz.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The input driver circuit for a high-precision ADC mainly consists of two parts: a driving amplifier and an
antialiasing filter. Careful design of the front-end circuit is critical to meet the linearity and noise performance of a
high-precision ADC.
8.2.2.1 Input Amplifier Selection
Selection criteria for the input amplifiers is highly dependent on the input signal type and the performance goals
of the data acquisition system. Some key amplifier specifications to consider while selecting an appropriate
amplifier to drive the inputs of the ADC are:
• Small-signal bandwidth. Select the small-signal bandwidth of the input amplifiers to be as high as possible
after meeting the power budget of the system. Higher bandwidth reduces the closed-loop output impedance
of the amplifier, thus allowing the amplifier to more easily drive the low cutoff frequency RC filter at the ADC
inputs. Higher bandwidth also minimizes the harmonic distortion at higher input frequencies. In order to
maintain the overall stability of the input driver circuit, the amplifier bandwidth should be selected as
described in Equation 9:
•

Noise. Noise contribution of the front-end amplifiers should be as low as possible to prevent any degradation
in SNR performance of the system. As a rule of thumb, to ensure that the noise performance of the data
acquisition system is not limited by the front-end circuit, the total noise contribution from the front-end circuit
should be kept below 20% of the input-referred noise of the ADC. Noise from the input driver circuit is
bandlimited by designing a low cutoff frequency RC filter, as explained in Equation 10.

Distortion. Both the ADC and the input driver introduce nonlinearity in a data acquisition block. As a rule of
thumb, to ensure that the distortion performance of the data acquisition system is not limited by the front-end
circuit, the distortion of the input driver should be at least 10 dB lower than the distortion of the ADC, as
shown in Equation 11.

Settling Time. For dc signals with fast transients that are common in a multiplexed application, the input signal
must settle to the desired accuracy at the inputs of the ADC during the acquisition time window. This
condition is critical to maintain the overall linearity performance of the ADC. Typically, the amplifier data
sheets specify the output settling performance only up to 0.1% to 0.001%, which may not be sufficient for the
desired accuracy. Therefore, the settling behavior of the input driver should always be verified by TINA™SPICE simulations before selecting the amplifier.

SBAS587A – JANUARY 2014 – REVISED APRIL 2014
Typical Application (continued)
The distortion resulting from variation in the common-mode signal is eliminated by using a fully-differential
amplifier (FDA) in an inverting gain configuration that establishes a fixed common-mode level at the ADC input.
This configuration also eliminates the requirement of rail-to-rail swing at the amplifier input. The low-power
THS4521, used as an input driver, provides exceptional ac performance because of its extremely low-distortion
and high-bandwidth specifications. The device REFOUT_x pin can be directly connected to the VOCM pin of the
THS4521 to set the output common-mode voltage to 2.5 V, as required by the ADC.
8.2.2.2 Antialiasing Filter
Converting analog-to-digital signals requires sampling an input signal at a constant rate. Any higher frequency
content in the input signal beyond half the sampling frequency is digitized and folded back into the low-frequency
spectrum. This process is called aliasing. Therefore, an analog, antialiasing filter must be used to remove the
harmonic content from the input signal before being sampled by the ADC. An antialiasing filter is designed as a
low-pass, RC filter, for which the 3-dB bandwidth is optimized based on specific application requirements (as
shown in Figure 46). For dc signals with fast transients (including multiplexed input signals), a high-bandwidth
filter is designed to allow accurately settling the signal at the ADC inputs during the small acquisition time
window. For ac signals, the filter bandwidth should be kept low to band-limit the noise fed into the ADC input,
thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system.
Besides filtering the noise from the front-end drive circuitry, the RC filter also helps attenuate the sampling
charge injection from the switched-capacitor input stage of the ADC. A filter capacitor, CFLT, is connected across
the ADC inputs. This capacitor helps reduce the sampling charge injection and provides a charge bucket to
quickly charge the internal sample-and-hold capacitors during the acquisition process. As a rule of thumb, the
value of this capacitor should be at least 10 times the specified value of the ADC sampling capacitance. For
these devices, the input sampling capacitance is equal to 40 pF. Thus, the value of CFLT should be greater than
400 pF. The capacitor should be a COG- or NPO-type because these capacitor types have a high-Q, lowtemperature coefficient, and stable electrical characteristics under varying voltages, frequency, and time.
Note that driving capacitive loads can degrade the phase margin of the input amplifiers, thus making the amplifier
marginally unstable. To avoid amplifier stability issues, series isolation resistors (RFLT) are used at the output of
the amplifiers. A higher value of RFLT is helpful from the amplifier stability perspective, but adds distortion as a
result of interactions with the nonlinear input impedance of the ADC. Distortion increases with source impedance,
input signal frequency, and input signal amplitude. Therefore, the selection of RFLT requires balancing the stability
and distortion of the design. For these devices, TI recommends limiting the value of RFLT to a maximum of 22 Ω
in order to avoid any significant degradation in linearity performance. The tolerance of the selected resistors can
be chosen as 1% because the use of a differential capacitor at the input balances the effects resulting from any
resistor mismatch.

Figure 46. Antialiasing Filter
The input amplifier bandwidth should be much higher than the cutoff frequency of the antialiasing filter. TI
strongly recommends performing a SPICE simulation to confirm that the amplifier has more than 40° phase
margin with the selected filter. Simulation is critical because even with high-bandwidth amplifiers, some amplifiers
might require more bandwidth than others to drive similar filters. If an amplifier has less than a 40° phase margin
with 22-Ω resistors, using a different amplifier with higher bandwidth or reducing the filter cutoff frequency with a
larger differential capacitor is advisable.
In addition, the components of the antialiasing filter are such that the noise from the front-end circuit is kept low
without adding distortion to the input signal.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The devices have two separate power supplies: AVDD and DVDD. The device operates on AVDD; DVDD is
used for the interface circuits. AVDD and DVDD can be independently set to any value within the permissible
ranges.
The AVDD supply voltage value defines the permissible voltage swing on the analog input pins. To avoid
saturation of output codes, and to use the full dynamic range on the analog input pins, AVDD must be set as
shown in Equation 12, Equation 13, and Equation 14:
AVDD ≥ 2 × VREF_A
AVDD ≥ 2 × VREF_B
4.75 V ≤ AVDD ≤ 5.25 V
(12)
(13)
(14)
Decouple the AVDD and DVDD pins with the GND pin using individual 10-µF decoupling capacitors, as shown in
Figure 51.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 52 shows a board layout example for the ADS7251 and ADS7851. Use a ground plane underneath the
device and partition the PCB into analog and digital sections. Avoid crossing digital lines with the analog signal
path and keep the analog input signals and the reference input signals away from noise sources. As shown in
Figure 52, the analog input and reference signals are routed on the left side of the board and the digital
connections are routed on the right side of the device.
The power sources to the device must be clean and well-bypassed. Use 10-μF, ceramic bypass capacitors in
close proximity to the analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD) power-supply pins. Avoid placing vias between the
AVDD and DVDD pins and the bypass capacitors. Connect all ground pins to the ground plane using short, lowimpedance paths.
The REFOUT-A and REFOUT-B reference outputs are bypassed with 10-μF, X7R-grade ceramic capacitors
(CREF-x). Place the reference bypass capacitors as close as possible to the reference REFOUT-x pins and
connect the bypass capacitors using short, low-inductance connections. Avoid placing vias between the
REFOUT-x pins and the bypass capacitors. Small 0.1-Ω to 0.2-Ω resistors (RREF-x) are used in series with the
reference bypass capacitors to improve stability.
The fly-wheel RC filters are placed immediately next to the input pins. Among ceramic surface-mount capacitors,
COG (NPO) ceramic capacitors provide the best capacitance precision. The type of dielectric used in COG
(NPO) ceramic capacitors provides the most stable electrical properties over voltage, frequency, and temperature
changes. Figure 52 shows CIN-A and CIN-B filter capacitors placed across the analog input pins of the device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
