Self-Calibrating 12-Bit Plus Sign Serial I/O A/D
Converters with MUX and Sample/Hold
General Description
Applications
The ADC12030, and ADC12H030 families are 12-bit plus
sign successive approximation A/D converters with serial I/O
and configurable input multiplexers. The ADC12032/
ADC12H032, ADC12034/ADC12H034 and ADC12038/
ADC12H038 have 2, 4 and 8 channel multiplexers, respectively. The differential multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs are
available on the MUXOUT1, MUXOUT2, A/DIN1 and A/DIN2
pins. The ADC12030/ADC12H030 has a two channel multiplexer with the multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs internally
connected. The ADC12030 family is tested with a 5 MHz
clock, while the ADC12H030 family is tested with an 8 MHz
clock. On request, these A/Ds go through a self calibration
process that adjusts linearity, zero and full-scale errors to
less than ± 1 LSB each.
The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various
combinations
of
single-ended,
differential,
or
pseudo-differential modes. A fully differential unipolar analog
input range (0V to +5V) can be accommodated with a single
+5V supply. In the differential modes, valid outputs are obtained even when the negative inputs are greater than the
positive because of the 12-bit plus sign output data format.

DI
The clock applied to this input controls the
sucessive approximation conversion time interval and the acquisition time. The rise and
fall times of the clock edges should not exceed 1 µs.
This is the serial data clock input. The clock
applied to this input controls the rate at
which the serial data exchange occurs. The
rising edge loads the information on the DI
pin into the multiplexer address and mode
select shift register. This address controls
which channel of the analog input multiplexer (MUX) is selected and the mode of
operation for the A/D. With CS low the falling
edge of SCLK shifts the data resulting from
the previous ADC conversion out on DO,
with the exception of the first bit of data.
When CS is low continously, the first bit of
the data is clocked out on the rising edge of
EOC (end of conversion). When CS is
toggled the falling edge of CS always clocks
out the first bit of data. CS should be brought
low when SCLK is low. The rise and fall
times of the clock edges should not exceed

This is the serial data input pin. The data
applied to this pin is shifted by the rising
edge of SCLK into the multiplexer address
and mode select register. Table 2 through
Table 5 show the assignment of the multiplexer address and the mode select data.
The data output pin. This pin is an active
push/pull output when CS is low. When CS
is high, this output is TRI-STATE. The A/D
conversion result (D0–D12) and converter
status data are clocked out by the falling
edge of SCLK on this pin. The word length
and format of this result can vary (see Table
1). The word length and format are controlled by the data shifted into the multiplexer
address and mode select register (see Table
5).
This pin is an active push/pull output and
indicates the status of the ADC12030/2/4/8.
When low, it signals that the A/D is busy with
a conversion, auto-calibration, auto-zero or
power down cycle. The rising edge of EOC
signals the end of one of these cycles.
This is the chip select pin. When a logic low

is applied to this pin, the rising edge of SCLK
shifts the data on DI into the address register. This low also brings DO out of
TRI-STATE. With CS low the falling edge of
SCLK shifts the data resulting from the previous ADC conversion out on DO, with the
exception of the first bit of data. When CS is
low continously, the first bit of the data is
clocked out on the rising edge of EOC (end
of conversion). When CS is toggled the falling edge of CS always clocks out the first bit
of data. CS should be brought low when
SCLK is low. The falling edge of CS resets a
conversion in progress and starts the sequence for a new conversion. When CS is
brought back low during a conversion, that
conversion is prematurely terminated. The
data in the output latches may be corrupted.
Therefore, when CS is brought back low during a conversion in progress the data output
at that time should be ignored. CS may also
be left continuously low. In this case it is
imperative that the correct number of SCLK
pulses be applied to the ADC in order to
remain synchronous. After the ADC supply
power is applied it expects to see 13 clock
pulses for each I/O sequence. The number
of clock pulses the ADC expects is the same
as the digital output word length. This word
length can be modified by the data shifted in
on the DO pin. Table 5 details the data
required.
This is the data output ready pin. This pin is
an active push/pull output. It is low when the
conversion result is being shifted out and
goes high to signal that all the data has been
shifted out.
A logic low is required on this pin to program
any mode or change the ADC’s configuration
as listed in the Mode Programming Table 5
such as 12-bit conversion, 8-bit conversion,
Auto Cal, Auto Zero etc. When this pin is
high the ADC is placed in the read data only
mode. While in the read data only mode,
bringing CS low and pulsing SCLK will only
clock out on DO any data stored in the ADCs
output shift register. The data on DI will be
neglected. A new conversion will not be
started and the ADC will remain in the mode
and/or
configuration

programmed. Read data only cannot be per-
PD
This is the power down pin. When PD is high
the A/D is powered down; when PD is low
the A/D is powered up. The A/D takes a
maximum of 250 µs to power up after the
command is given.
CH0–CH7
These are the analog inputs of the MUX. A
channel input is selected by the address information at the DI pin, which is loaded on
the rising edge of SCLK into the address
register (See Tables 2, 3, 4).
The voltage applied to these inputs should
not exceed VA+ or go below GND. Exceeding this range on an unselected channel will
corrupt the reading of a selected channel.

This pin is another analog input pin. It is
used as a pseudo ground when the analog
multiplexer is single-ended.

A/DIN1, /DIN2 These are the converter input pins. MUXOUT1 is usually tied to A/DIN1. MUXOUT2
is usually tied to A/DIN2. If external circuitry
is placed between MUXOUT1 and A/DIN1,
or MUXOUT2 and A/DIN2 it may be necessary to protect these pins. The voltage at
these pins should not exceed VA+ or go below AGND (see Figure 5).
This is the positive analog voltage reference

input. In order to maintain accuracy, the voltage range of VREF (VREF = VREF+ − VREF−)
is 1 VDC to 5.0 VDC and the voltage at VREF+
cannot exceed VA+. See Figure 6 for recommended bypassing.

(See Figure 6).
These are the analog and digital power supVA+, VD+
ply pins. VA+ and VD+ are not connected
together on the chip. These pins should be
tied to the same power supply and bypassed
separately (see Figure 6). The operating
voltage range of VA+ and VD+ is 4.5 VDC to
5.5 VDC.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage (VIN) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VIN < GND or VIN > VA+ or VD+), the current at that pin should be limited to 30 mA.
The 120 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 30 mA to four.
Note 4: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax, θJA and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD = (TJmax − TA)/θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For this device,
TJmax = 150˚C. The typical thermal resistance (θJA) of these parts when board mounted follow:

Note 7: Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input through a series resistor as shown below. Input voltage magnitude up to 5V above VA+ or 5V below GND
will not damage this device. However, errors in the A/D conversion can occur (if these diodes are forward biased by more than 50 mV) if the input voltage magnitude
of selected or unselected analog input go above VA+ or below GND by more than 50 mV. As an example, if VA+ is 4.5 VDC, full-scale input voltage must be ≤4.55
VDC to ensure accurate conversions.
01135402
Note 8: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that the VA+ and VD+ be connected together to the same power supply with separate bypass capacitors at each V+
pin.
Note 9: With the test condition for VREF (VREF+ − VREF−) given as +4.096V, the 12-bit LSB is 1.0 mV and the 8-bit LSB is 16.0 mV.
Note 10: Typicals are at TJ = TA = 25˚C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Note 11: Tested limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 12: Positive integral linearity error is defined as the deviation of the analog value, expressed in LSBs, from the straight line that passes through positive
full-scale and zero. For negative integral linearity error, the straight line passes through negative full-scale and zero (see Figures 2, 3).
Note 13: Zero error is a measure of the deviation from the mid-scale voltage (a code of zero), expressed in LSB. It is the worst-case value of the code transitions
between 1 to 0 and 0 to +1 (see Figure 4).
Note 14: Total unadjusted error includes offset, full-scale, linearity and multiplexer errors.
Note 15: The DC common-mode error is measured in the differential multiplexer mode with the assigned positive and negative input channels shorted together.
Note 16: Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
Note 17: Timing specifications are tested at the TTL logic levels, VIL = 0.4V for a falling edge and VIH = 2.4V for a rising edge. TRI-STATE output voltage is forced
to 1.4V.
Note 18: The ADC12030 family’s self-calibration technique ensures linearity and offset errors as specified, but noise inherent in the self-calibration process will
result in a maximum repeatability uncertainty of 0.2 LSB.
Note 19: If SCLK and CCLK are driven from the same clock source, then tA is 6, 10, 18 or 34 clock periods minimum and maximum.
Note 20: The “12-Bit Conversion of Offset” and “12-Bit Conversion of Full-Scale” modes are intended to test the functionality of the device. Therefore, the output
data from these modes are not an indication of the accuracy of a conversion result.

since the Auto Cal procedure modifies the data in the output
shift register. To retrieve the status information, an additional
read status instruction is issued to the A/D. At this time the
status data is available on DO. If the Cal signal in the status
word, is low Auto Cal has been completed. Therefore, the
next instruction issued can start a conversion. The data
output at this time is again status information. To keep noise
from corrupting the A/D conversion, status can not be read
during a conversion. If CS is strobed and is brought low
during a conversion, that conversion is prematurely ended.
EOC can be used to determine the end of a conversion or
the A/D controller can keep track in software of when it would
be appropriate to comnmunicate to the A/D again. Once it
has been determined that the A/D has completed a conversion, another instruction can be transmitted to the A/D. The
data from this conversion can be accessed when the next
instruction is issued to the A/D.
Note, when CS is low continuously it is important to transmit
the exact number of SCLK cycles, as shown in the timing
diagrams. Not doing so will desynchronize the serial communication to the A/D. (See Section 1.3.)

after the power is applied to the ADC12030/2/4/8:
01135436
FIGURE 7. Typical Power Supply Power Up Sequence
The first instruction input to the A/D via DI initiates Auto Cal.
The data output on DO at that time is meaningless and is
completely random. To determine whether the Auto Cal has
been completed, a read status instruction is issued to the
A/D. Again the data output at that time has no significance

Application Hints
If erroneous SCLK pulses desynchronize the communications, the simplest way to recover is by cycling the power
supply to the device. Not being able to easily resynchronize
the device is a shortcoming of leaving CS low continuously.

1.2 Changing Configuration
The configuration of the ADC12030/2/4/8 on power up defaults to 12-bit plus sign resolution, 12- or 13-bit MSB First,
10 CCLK acquisition time, user mode, no Auto Cal, no Auto
Zero, and power up mode. Changing the aquisition time and
turning the sign bit on and off requires an 8-bit instruction to
be issued to the ADC. This instruction will not start a conversion. The instructions that select a multiplexer address
and format the output data do start a conversion. Figure 8
describes an example of changing the configuration of the
ADC12030/2/4/8.
During I/O sequence 1, the instruction on DI configures the
ADC12030/2/4/8 to do a conversion with 12-bit +sign resolution. Notice that when the 6 CCLK Acquisition and Data
Out without Sign instructions are issued to the ADC, I/O
sequences 2 and 3, a new conversion is not started. The
data output during these instructions is from conversion N
which was started during I/O sequence 1. The Configuration
Modification timing diagram describes in detail the sequence
of events necessary for a Data Out without Sign, Data Out
with Sign, or 6/10/18/34 CCLK Acquisition time mode selection. Table 5 describes the actual data necessary to be input
to the ADC to accomplish this configuration modification. The
next instruction, shown in Figure 8, issued to the A/D starts
conversion N+1 with 8 bits of resolution formatted MSB first.
Again the data output during this I/O cycle is the data from
conversion N.
The number of SCLKs applied to the A/D during any conversion I/O sequence should vary in accord with the data out
word format chosen during the previous conversion I/O sequence. The various formats and resolutions available are
shown in Table 1. In Figure 8, since 8-bit without sign MSB
first format was chosen during I/O sequence 4, the number
of SCLKs required during I/O sequence 5 is 8. In the following I/O sequence the format changes to 12-bit without sign
MSB first; therefore the number of SCLKs required during
I/O sequence 6 changes accordingly to 12.
The number of clock pulses required for an I/O exchange
may be different for the case when CS is left low continuously vs the case when CS is cycled. Take the I/O sequence
detailed in Figure 7 (Typical Power Supply Sequence) as an
example. The table below lists the number of SCLK pulses
required for each instruction:

1.4 Analog Input Channel Selection
The data input on DI also selects the channel configuration
for a particular A/D conversion (see Tables 2, 3, 4 and Table
5). In Figure 8 the only times when the channel configuration
could be modified would be during I/O sequences 1, 4, 5 and
6. Input channels are reselected before the start of each new
conversion. Shown below is the data bit stream required on
DI, during I/O sequence number 4 in Figure 8, to set CH1 as
the positive input and CH0 as the negative input for the
different versions of ADCs:

1.5 Power Up/Down
The ADC may be powered down at any time by taking the
PD pin HIGH or by the instruction input on DI (see Tables 5,
6, and the Power Up/Down timing diagrams). When the ADC
is powered down in this way, the circuitry necessary for an
A/D conversion is deactivated. The circuitry necessary for
digital I/O is kept active. Hardware power up/down is controlled by the state of the PD pin. Software power-up/down is
controlled by the instruction issued to the ADC. If a software
power up instruction is issued to the ADC while a hardware
power down is in effect (PD pin high) the device will remain
in the power-down state. If a software power down instruction is issued to the ADC while a hardware power up is in
effect (PD pin low), the device will power down. When the
device is powered down by software, it may be powered up
by either issuing a software power up instruction or by taking
PD pin high and then low. If the power down command is
issued during an A/D conversion, that conversion is disrupted. Therefore, the data output after power up cannot be
relied upon.

1.3 CS Low Continuously Considerations
When CS is continuously low, it is important to transmit the
exact number of SCLK pulses that the ADC expects. Not
doing so will desynchronize the serial communications to the
ADC. When the supply power is first applied to the ADC, it
will expect to see 13 SCLK pulses for each I/O transmission.
The number of SCLK pulses that the ADC expects to see is
the same as the digital output word length. The digital output
word length is controlled by the Data Out (DO) format. The
DO format maybe changed any time a conversion is started
or when the sign bit is turned on or off. The table below
details out the number of clock periods required for different
DO formats:

1.6 User Mode and Test Mode
1.7 Reading the Data Without Starting a Conversion
An instruction may be issued to the ADC to put it into test
mode. Test mode is used by the manufacturer to verify
complete functionality of the device. During test mode
CH0–CH7 become active outputs. If the device is inadvertently put into the test mode with CS continuously low, the
serial communications may be desynchronized. Synchronization may be regained by cycling the power supply voltage
to the device. Cycling the power supply voltage will also set
the device into user mode. If CS is used in the serial interface, the ADC may be queried to see what mode it is in. This
is done by issuing a “read STATUS register” instruction to the
ADC. When bit 9 of the status register is high, the ADC is in
test mode; when bit 9 is low the ADC, is in user mode. As an
alternative to cycling the power supply, an instruction sequence may be used to return the device to user mode. This
instruction sequence must be issued to the ADC using CS.
The following table lists the instructions required to return the
device to user mode:
The data from a particular conversion may be accessed
without starting a new conversion by ensuring that the
CONV line is taken high during the I/O sequence. See the
Read Data timing diagrams. Table 6 describes the operation
of the CONV pin.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE ANALOG MULTIPLEXER
For the ADC12038, the analog input multiplexer can be
configured with 4 differential channels or 8 single ended
channels with the COM input as the zero reference or any
combination thereof (see Figure 9). The difference between
the voltages on the VREF+ and VREF− pins determines the
input voltage span (VREF). The analog input voltage range is
0 to VA+. Negative digital output codes result when VIN− >
VIN+. The actual voltage at VIN− or VIN+ cannot go below

2.1 Biasing for Various Multiplexer Configurations
Figure 11 is an example of biasing the device for
single-ended operation. The sign bit is always low. The
digital output range is 0 0000 0000 0000 to 0 1111 1111 1111.
One LSB is equal to 1 mV (4.1V/4096 LSBs).

periods, the input biasing resistor needs to be 600Ω or less.
Notice though that the input coupling capacitor needs to be
made fairly large to bring down the high pass corner. Increasing the acquisition time to 34 clock periods (with a
5 MHz CCLK frequency) would allow the 600Ω to increase to
6k, which with a 1 µF coupling capacitor would set the high
pass corner at 26 Hz. Increasing R, to 6k would allow R2 to
be 2k.
(Continued)
For pseudo-differential signed operation, the biasing circuit
shown in Figure 12 shows a signal AC coupled to the ADC.
This gives a digital output range of −4096 to +4095. With a
2.5V reference, as shown, 1 LSB is equal to 610 µV. Although, the ADC is not production tested with a 2.5V reference, linearity error typically will not change more than 0.1
LSB (see the curves in the Typical Electrical Characteristics
Section). With the ADC set to an acquisition time of 10 clock
01135447
FIGURE 12. Pseudo-Differential Biasing with the Signal Source AC Coupled Directly into the ADC
An alternative method for biasing pseudo-differential operation is to use the +2.5V from the LM4040 to bias any amplifier circuits driving the ADC as shown in Figure 13. The value
of the resistor pull-up biasing the LM4040-2.5 will depend
upon the current required by the op amp biasing circuitry.
In the circuit of Figure 13 some voltage range is lost since
the amplifier will not be able to swing to +5V and GND with
a single +5V supply. Using an adjustable version of the
LM4041 to set the full scale voltage at exactly 2.048V and a
lower grade LM4040D-2.5 to bias up everything to 2.5V as
shown in Figure 14 will allow the use of all the ADC’s digital
output range of −4096 to +4095 while leaving plenty of head
room for the amplifier.
Fully differential operation is shown in Figure 15. One LSB
for this case is equal to (4.1V/4096) = 1 mV.

varies between very specific voltage limits, a time and temperature stable voltage source can be connected to the
reference inputs. Typically, the reference voltage’s magnitude will require an initial adjustment to null reference voltage induced full-scale errors.
3.0 REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The difference in the voltages applied to the VREF+ and
VREF− defines the analog input span (the difference between
the voltage applied between two multiplexer inputs or the
voltage applied to one of the multiplexer inputs and analog
ground), over which 4095 positive and 4096 negative codes
exist. The voltage sources driving VREF+ or VREF− must have
very low output impedance and noise. The circuit in Figure
16 is an example of a very stable reference appropriate for
use with the device.

The reference voltage inputs are not fully differential. The
ADC12030/2/4/8 will not generate correct conversions or
comparisons if VREF+ is taken below VREF−. Correct conversions result when VREF+ and VREF− differ by 1V and remain,
at all times, between ground and VA+. The VREF common
mode range, (VREF+ + VREF−)/2 is restricted to (0.1 x VA+) to
(0.6 x VA+). Therefore, with VA+ = 5V the center of the
reference ladder should not go below 0.5V or above 3.0V.
Figure 17 is a graphic representation of the voltage restrictions on VREF+ and VREF−.
The ADC 12030/2/4/8 can be used in either ratiometric or
absolute reference applications. In ratiometric systems, the
analog input voltage is proportional to the voltage used for
the ADC’s reference voltage. When this voltage is the system power supply, the VREF+ pin is connected to VA+ and
VREF− is connected to ground. This technique relaxes the
system reference stability requirements because the analog
input voltage and the ADC reference voltage move together.
This maintains the same output code for given input conditions. For absolute accuracy, where the analog input voltage

applied, the source impedance and the internal multiplexer
switch on resistance. With MUXOUT1 tied to A/DIN1 and
MUXOUT2 tied to A/DIN2 the internal multiplexer switch on
resistance is typically 1.6 kΩ. The A/DIN1 and A/DIN2 mux
on resistance is typically 750Ω.

6.0 INPUT SOURCE RESISTANCE
For low impedance voltage sources ( < 600Ω), the input
charging current will decay, before the end of the S/H’s
acquisition time of 2 µs (10 CCLK periods with fC = 5 MHz),
to a value that will not introduce any conversion errors. For
high source impedances, the S/H’s acquisition time can be
increased to 18 or 34 CCLK periods. For less ADC resolution
and/or slower CCLK frequencies the S/H’s acquisition time
may be decreased to 6 CCLK periods. To determine the
number of clock periods (Nc) required for the acquisition time
with a specific source impedance for the various resolutions
the following equations can be used:
12 Bit + Sign NC = [RS + 2.3] x fC x 0.824
8 Bit + Sign NC = [RS + 2.3] x fC x 0.57
Where fC is the conversion clock (CCLK) frequency in MHz
and RS is the external source resistance in kΩ. As an example, operating with a resolution of 12 Bits+sign, a 5 MHz
clock frequency and maximum acquistion time of 34 conversion clock periods the ADC’s analog inputs can handle a
source impedance as high as 6 kΩ. The acquisition time may
also be extended to compensate for the settling or response
time of external circuitry connected between the MUXOUT
and A/DIN pins.
The acquisition time tA is started by a falling edge of SCLK
and ended by a rising edge of CCLK (see timing diagrams).
If SCLK and CCLK are asynchronous one extra CCLK clock
period may be inserted into the programmed acquisition time
for synchronization. Therefore with asnychronous SCLK and
CCLKs the acquisition time will change from conversion to
conversion.

The ADC12030/2/4/8’s fully differential ADC generate a
two’s complement output that is found by using the equations shown below:

7.0 INPUT BYPASS CAPACITANCE
for (8-bit) resolution the Output Code =
External capacitors (0.01 µF–0.1 µF) can be connected
between the analog input pins, CH0–CH7, and analog
ground to filter any noise caused by inductive pickup associated with long input leads. These capacitors will not degrade the conversion accuracy.
Round off to the nearest integer value between −4096 to
4095 for 12-bit resolution and between −256 to 255 for 8-bit
resolution if the result of the above equation is not a whole
number.
Examples are shown in the table below:
8.0 NOISE
The leads to each of the analog multiplexer input pins should
be kept as short as possible. This will minimize input noise
and clock frequency coupling that can cause conversion
errors. Input filtering can be used to reduce the effects of the
noise sources.

9.0 POWER SUPPLIES
Noise spikes on the VA+ and VD+ supply lines can cause
conversion errors; the comparator will respond to the noise.
The ADC is especially sensitive to any power supply spikes
that occur during the auto-zero or linearity correction. The
minimum power supply bypassing capacitors recommended
are low inductance tantalum capacitors of 10 µF or greater
paralleled with 0.1 µF monolithic ceramic capacitors. More or
different bypassing may be necessary depending on the
overall system requirements. Separate bypass capacitors
should be used for the VA+ and VD+ supplies and placed as
close as possible to these pins.

5.0 INPUT CURRENT
At the start of the acquisition window (tA) a charging current
flows into or out of the analog input pins (A/DIN1 and
A/DIN2) depending on the input voltage polarity. The analog
input pins are CH0–CH7 and COM when A/DIN1 is tied to
MUXOUT1 and A/DIN2 is tied to MUXOUT2. The peak value
of this input current will depend on the actual input voltage

point, either the power supply ground or at the pins of the
ADC. This greatly reduces the occurence of ground loops
and noise.

10.0 GROUNDING
The ADC12030/2/4/8’s performance can be maximized
through proper grounding techniques. These include the use
of separate analog and digital ground planes. The digital
ground plane is placed under all components that handle
digital signals, while the analog ground plane is placed under
all components that handle analog signals. The digital and
analog ground planes are connected together at only one
Shown in Figure 18 is the ideal ground plane layout for the
ADC12038 along with ideal placement of the bypass capacitors. The circuit board layout shown in Figure 18 uses three
bypass capacitors: 0.01 µF (C1) and 0.1 µF (C2) surface
mount capacitors and 10 µF (C3) tantalum capacitor.

FIGURE 18. Ideal Ground Plane
11.0 CLOCK SIGNAL LINE ISOLATION
The ADC12030/2/4/8’s performance is optimized by routing
the analog input/output and reference signal conductors as
far as possible from the conductors that carry the clock
signals to the CCLK and SCLK pins. Ground traces parallel
to the clock signal traces can be used on printed circuit
boards to reduce clock signal interference on the analog
input/output pins.
13.0 THE AUTO-ZERO CYCLE
To correct for any change in the zero (offset) error of the A/D,
the auto-zero cycle can be used. It may be necessary to do
an auto-zero cycle whenever the ambient temperature or the
power supply voltage change significantly. (See the curves
titled “Zero Error Change vs Ambient Temperature” and
“Zero Error Change vs Supply Voltage” in the Typical Performance Characteristics.)
12.0 THE CALIBRATION CYCLE
A calibration cycle needs to be started after the power supplies, reference, and clock have been given enough time to
stabilize after initial turn-on. During the calibration cycle,
correction values are determined for the offset voltage of the
sampled data comparator and any linearity and gain errors.
These values are stored in internal RAM and used during an
analog-to-digital conversion to bring the overall full-scale,
offset, and linearity errors down to the specified limits.
Full-scale error typically changes ± 0.4 LSB over temperature and linearity error changes even less; therefore it should
be necessary to go through the calibration cycle only once
after power up if the Power Supply Voltage and the ambient
temperature do not change significantly (see the curves in
the Typical Performance Characteristics).
14.0 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Many applications require the A/D converter to digitize AC
signals, but the standard DC integral and differential nonlinearity specifications will not accurately predict the A/D converter’s performance with AC input signals. The important
specifications for AC applications reflect the converter’s ability to digitize AC signals without significant spectral errors
and without adding noise to the digitized signal. Dynamic
characteristics such as signal-to-noise (S/N), signal-tonoise
+ distortion ratio (S/(N + D)), effective bits, full power bandwidth, aperture time and aperture jitter are quantitative measures of the A/D converter’s capability.
An A/D converter’s AC performance can be measured using
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) methods. A sinusoidal waveform is applied to the A/D converter’s input, and the transform is then performed on the digitized waveform. S/(N + D)
and S/N are calculated from the resulting FFT data, and a
spectral plot may also be obtained. Typical values for S/N

are shown in the table of Electrical Characteristics, and
spectral plots of S/(N + D) are included in the typical performance curves.
The A/D converter’s noise and distortion levels will change
with the frequency of the input signal, with more distortion
and noise occurring at higher signal frequencies. This can be
seen in the S/(N + D) versus frequency curves.
Effective number of bits can also be useful in describing the
A/D’s noise performance. An ideal A/D converter will have
some amount of quantization noise, determined by its resolution, which will yield an optimum S/N ratio given by the
following equation:
As an example, this device with a differential signed 5V,
1 kHz sine wave input signal will typically have a S/(N + D) of
77 dB, which is equivalent to 12.5 effective bits.
15.0 AN RS232 SERIAL INTERFACE
Shown on the following page is a schematic for an RS232
interface to any IBM and compatible PCs. The DTR, RTS,
and CTS RS232 signal lines are buffered via level translators and connected to the ADC12038’s DI, SCLK, and DO
pins, respectively. The D flip flop drives the CS control line.
S/N = (6.02 x n + 1.76) dB
where n is the A/D’s resolution in bits.
S/(N + D) (or SINAD) is a combination of S/N (or SNR) and
distortion and is considered to be an overall measure of an
A/D converter performance. S/(N + D) is defined as:
01135444
Note: VA+, VD+, and VREF+ on the ADC12038 each have 0.01 µF and 0.1 µF chip caps, and 10 µF tantalum caps. All logic devices are bypassed with 0.1 µF
caps.
