Applications
The MCP3302 is user-programmable to provide two
differential input pairs or four single-ended inputs.
The MCP3304 is also user-programmable to configure
into four differential input pairs or eight single-ended
inputs.
Incorporating a successive approximation architecture
with on-board sample and hold circuitry, these 13-bit
A/D converters are specified to have ±1 LSB
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL); ±1 LSB Integral
Nonlinearity (INL) for B-grade and ±2 LSB for C-grade
devices. The industry-standard SPI serial interface
enables 13-bit A/D converter capability to be added to
any PIC® microcontroller.
The MCP3302/04 devices feature low current design
that permits operation with typical standby and active
currents of only 50 nA and 300 µA, respectively. The
device is capable of conversion rates of up to 100 ksps
with tested specifications over a 4.5V to 5.5V supply
range. The reference voltage can be varied from
400 mV to 5V, yielding input-referred resolution
between 98 µV and 1.22 mV.
• Remote Sensors
• Battery-operated Systems
• Transducer Interface
The MCP3302 is available in 14-pin PDIP, 150 mil
SOIC and TSSOP packages. The MCP3304 is
available in 16-pin PDIP and 150 mil SOIC packages.
The full differential inputs of these devices enable a
wide variety of signals to be used in applications such
as remote data acquisition, portable instrumentation,
and battery-operated applications.

Analog Ground
Serial Data Input (DIN)
Analog input channels. These pins have an absolute
voltage range of VSS - 0.3V to VDD+ 0.3V. The full scale
differential input range is defined as the absolute value
of (IN+) - (IN-). This difference can not exceed the
value of VREF - 1 LSB or digital code saturation will
occur.
The SPI port serial data input pin is used to clock in
input channel configuration data. Data is latched on the
rising edge of the clock. See Figure 6-2 for serial
communication protocol.
3.2
The SPI serial data output pin is used to shift out the
results of the A/D conversion. Data will always change
on the falling edge of each clock as the conversion
takes place. See Figure 6-2 for serial communication
protocol.
Digital Ground (DGND)
Ground connection to internal digital circuitry. To
ensure accuracy this pin must be connected to the
same ground as AGND. If an analog ground plane is
available, it is recommended that this device be tied to
the analog ground plane in the circuit. See Section 5.6
“Layout Considerations” for more information
regarding circuit layout.
3.3
Chip Select/Shutdown (CS/SHDN)
The CS/SHDN pin is used to initiate communication
with the device when pulled low. This pin will end a
conversion and put the device in low-power standby
when pulled high. The CS/SHDN pin must be pulled
high between conversions and cannot be tied low for
multiple conversions. See Figure 6-2 for serial

Power Supply (VDD)
The device can operate from 2.7V to 5.5V, but the data
conversion performance is from 4.5V to 5.5V supply
range. To ensure accuracy, a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the
pin. See Section 5.6 “Layout Considerations” for
more information regarding circuit layout.
Voltage Reference (VREF)
This input pin provides the reference voltage for the
device, which determines the maximum range of the
analog input signal and the LSB size.
The LSB size is determined according to the equation
shown below. As the reference input is reduced, the
LSB size is reduced accordingly.
EQUATION 3-1:
LSB Size =
2 x VREF

When using an external voltage reference device, the
system designer should always refer to the
manufacturer’s recommendations for circuit layout.
Any instability in the operation of the reference device
will have a direct effect on the accuracy of the ADC

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Bipolar Operation - This applies to either a differential
or single-ended input configuration, where both
positive and negative codes are output from the A/D
converter. Full bipolar range includes all 8192 codes.
For bipolar operation on a single-ended input signal,
the A/D converter must be configured to operate in
pseudo differential mode.
Unipolar Operation - This applies to either a singleended or differential input signal where only one side of
the device transfer is being used. This could be either
the positive or negative side, depending on which input
(IN+ or IN-) is being used for the DC bias. Full unipolar
operation is equivalent to a 12-bit converter.
Full Differential Operation - Applying a full differential
signal to both the IN(+) and IN(-) inputs is referred to as
full differential operation. This configuration is
described in Figure 1-5.
Pseudo-Differential Operation - Applying a singleended signal to only one of the input channels with a
bipolar output is referred to as pseudo differential
operation. To obtain a bipolar output from a singleended input signal the inverting input of the A/D
converter must be biased above VSS. This operation is
described in Figure 1-6.
Integral Nonlinearity - The maximum deviation from a
straight line passing through the endpoints of the
bipolar transfer function is defined as the maximum
integral nonlinearity error. The endpoints of the transfer
function are a point 1/2 LSB above the first code
transition (0x1000) and 1/2 LSB below the last code
transition (0x0FFF).
Differential Nonlinearity - The difference between two
measured adjacent code transitions and the 1 LSB
ideal is defined as differential nonlinearity.
Positive Gain Error - This is the deviation between the
last positive code transition (0x0FFF) and the ideal
voltage level of VREF-1/2 LSB, after the bipolar offset
error has been adjusted out.
Negative Gain Error - This is the deviation between
the last negative code transition (0X1000) and the ideal
voltage level of -VREF-1/2 LSB, after the bipolar offset
error has been adjusted out.
Offset Error - This is the deviation between the first
positive code transition (0x0001) and the ideal 1/2 LSB
voltage level.
Acquisition Time - The acquisition time is defined as
the time during which the internal sample capacitor is
charging. This occurs for 1.5 clock cycles of the
external CLK as defined in Figure 6-2.
Conversion Time - The conversion time occurs
immediately after the acquisition time. During this time,
successive approximation of the input signal occurs as
the 13-bit result is being calculated by the internal
circuitry. This occurs for 13 clock cycles of the external
CLK as defined in Figure 6-2.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio - Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
is defined as the ratio of the signal-to-noise measured
at the output of the converter. The signal is defined as
the rms amplitude of the fundamental frequency of the
input signal. The noise value is dependant on the
device noise as well as the quantization error of the
converter and is directly affected by the number of bits
in the converter. The theoretical signal-to-noise ratio
limit based on quantization error only for an N-bit
converter is defined as:
EQUATION 4-1:
SNR =  6.02N + 1.76 dB
For a 13-bit converter, the theoretical SNR limit is
80.02 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion - Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of the harmonics to
the fundamental, measured at the output of the
converter. For the MCP3302/04, it is defined using the
first 9 harmonics, as is shown in the following equation:
EQUATION 4-2:
2
2
2
2
2
V 2 + V 3 + V 4 + ..... + V 8 + V 9
THD(-dB) = – 20 log ------------------------------------------------------------------------------2
V1
Here V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2
through V9 are the rms amplitudes of the second
through ninth harmonics.
Signal-to-Noise plus Distortion (SINAD) - Numerically defined, SINAD is the calculated combination of
SNR and THD. This number represents the dynamic
performance of the converter, including any harmonic
distortion.
EQUATION 4-3:
SINAD(dB) = 20 log 10
 SNR  10 
+ 10
–  THD  10 
EffectIve Number of Bits - Effective Number of Bits
(ENOB) states the relative performance of the ADC in
terms of its resolution. This term is directly related to
SINAD by the following equation:
EQUATION 4-4:
SINAD – 1.76
ENOB  N  = -----------------------------------6.02
For SINAD performance of 78 dB, the effective number
of bits is 12.66.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range - Spurious Free
Dynamic Range (SFDR) is the ratio of the rms value of
the fundamental to the next largest component in the
output spectrum of the ADC. This is, typically, the first
harmonic, but could also be a noise peak.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
5.2
5.1
Conversion Description
The analog input of the MCP3302/04 is easily driven,
either differentially or single ended. Any signal that is
common to the two input channels will be rejected by
the common mode rejection of the device. During the
charging time of the sample capacitor, a small charging
current will be required. For low-source impedances,
this input can be driven directly. For larger source
impedances, a larger acquisition time will be required,
due to the RC time constant that includes the source
impedance. For the A/D Converter to meet specification, the charge holding capacitor (CSAMPLE) must be
given enough time to acquire a 13-bit accurate voltage
level during the 1.5 clock cycle acquisition period.
The MCP3302/04 A/D converter employ a conventional SAR architecture. With this architecture, the
potential between the IN+ and IN- inputs are
simultaneously sampled and stored with the internal
sample circuits for 1.5 clock cycles (tACQ). Following
this sampling time, the input hold switches of the converter open and the device uses the collected charge to
produce a serial 13-bit binary two’s complement output
code. This conversion process is driven by the external
clock and must include 13 clock cycles, one for each
bit. During this process, the most significant bit (MSB)
is output first. This bit is the sign bit and indicates
whether the IN+ input or the IN- input is at a higher
potential.

FIGURE 5-1:
An analog input model is shown in Figure 5-3. This
model is accurate for an analog input, regardless of
whether it is configured as a single-ended input, or the
IN+ and IN- input in differential mode. In this diagram,
it is shown that the source impedance (RS) adds to the
internal sampling switch (RSS) impedance, directly
affecting the time that is required to charge the capacitor (CSAMPLE). Consequently, a larger source impedance with no additional acquisition time increases the
offset, gain, and integral linearity errors of the conversion. To overcome this, a slower clock speed can be
used to allow for the longer charging time. Figure 5-2
shows the maximum clock speed associated with
source impedances.

MAINTAINING MINIMUM CLOCK
SPEED
When the MCP3302/04 initiates, charge is stored on
the sample capacitor. When the sample period is
complete, the device converts one bit for each clock
that is received. It is important for the user to note that
a slow clock rate will allow charge to bleed off the
sample capacitor while the conversion is taking place.
For the MCP330X devices, the recommended minimum clock speed during the conversion cycle (TCONV)
is 105 kHz. Failure to meet this criteria may induce
linearity errors into the conversion outside the rated
specifications. It should be noted that during the entire
conversion cycle, the A/D converter does not have
requirements for clock speed or duty cycle, as long as
all timing specifications are met.

Using the values in Figure 5-4, we have a 100 Hz corner frequency. See Figure 5-2 for relation between

Biasing Solutions
For pseudo-differential bipolar operation, the biasing
circuit shown in Figure 5-4 shows a single-ended input
AC coupled to the converter. This configuration will give
a digital output range of -4096 to +4095. With the 2.5V
reference, the LSB size equal to 610 µV.
Although the ADC is not production tested with a 2.5V
reference as shown, linearity will not change more than
0.1 LSB. See Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-6 for INL and
DNL errors versus VREF at VDD = 5V. A trade-off exists
between the high-pass corner and the acquisition time.
The value of C will need to be quite large in order to
bring down the high-pass corner. The value of R needs
to be 1 kΩ, or less, since higher input impedances
require additional acquisition time.

Common Mode Input Range
The common mode input range has no restriction and is
equal to the absolute input voltage range: VSS -0.3V to
VDD + 0.3V. However, for a given VREF, the common
mode voltage has a limited swing, if the entire range of
the A/D converter is to be used. Figure 5-7 and
Figure 5-8 show the relationship between VREF and the
common mode voltage swing. A smaller VREF allows for
wider flexibility in a common mode voltage. VREF levels,
down to 400 mV, exhibit less than 0.1 LSB change in
INL and DNL.
For characterization graphs that show this performance
relationship, see Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-6.

FIGURE 5-5:
Adding an amplifier allows

This circuit shows that some headroom will be lost due
to the amplifier output not being able to swing all the
way to the rail. An example would be for an output
swing of 0V to 5V. This limitation can be overcome by
supplying a VREF that is slightly less than the common
mode voltage. Using a 2.048V reference for the A/D
converter while biasing the input signal at 2.5V solves
the problem. This circuit is shown in Figure 5-6.

Buffering/Filtering the Analog
Inputs
Inaccurate conversion results may occur if the signal
source for the A/D converter is not a low-impedance
source. Buffering the input will overcome the
impedance issue. It is also recommended that an
analog filter be used to eliminate any signals that may
be aliased back into the conversion results. This is
illustrated in Figure 5-9, where an op amp is used to
drive the analog input of the MCP3302/04. This
amplifier provides a low-impedance source for the
converter input and a low-pass filter, which eliminates
unwanted high-frequency noise. Values shown are for
a 10 Hz Butterworth Low-Pass filter.
Low-pass (anti-aliasing) filters can be designed using
Microchip’s interactive FilterLab® software. FilterLab
will calculate capacitor and resistor values, as well as
determine the number of poles that are required for the
application. For more detailed information on filtering
signals, see AN699 “Anti-Aliasing, Analog Filters for
Data Acquisition Systems”, at www.microchip.com.
5.6
Layout Considerations
When laying out a printed circuit board for use with
analog components, care should be taken to reduce
noise wherever possible. A bypass capacitor from VDD
to ground should always be used with this device and
should be placed as close as possible to the device pin.
A bypass capacitor value of 0.1 µF is recommended.
Digital and analog traces on the board should be
separated as much as possible, with no traces running
underneath the device or the bypass capacitor. Extra
precautions should be taken to keep traces with highfrequency signals (such as clock lines) as far as
possible from analog traces.
Use of an analog ground plane is recommended in
order to keep the ground potential the same for all
devices on the board. Providing VDD connections to
devices in a “star” configuration can also reduce noise
by eliminating current return paths and associated
errors (see Figure 5-10). Layout tips for using the
MCP3302, MCP3304, or other ADC devices, are available in AN688, “Layout Tips for 12-Bit A/D Converter
Applications”, from www.microchip.com.

Utilizing the Digital and Analog
Ground Pins
The MCP3302/04 devices provide both digital and
analog ground connections to provide another means
of noise reduction. As shown in Figure 5-11, the analog
and digital circuitry are separated internal to the device.
This reduces noise from the digital portion of the device
being coupled into the analog portion of the device. The
two grounds are connected internally through the
substrate which has a resistance of 5 -10Ω.
If no ground plane is utilized, then both grounds must
be connected to VSS on the board. If a ground plane is
available, both digital and analog ground pins should
be connected to the analog ground plane. If both an
analog and a digital ground plane are available, both
the digital and the analog ground pins should be
connected to the analog ground plane, as shown in
Figure 5-11. Following these steps will reduce the
amount of digital noise from the rest of the board being
coupled into the A/D Converter.

scheme, with a leading sign bit that indicates the sign
of the output. If the IN+ input is higher than the INinput, the sign bit will be a zero. If the IN- input is higher,
the sign bit will be a ‘1’.
The diagram shown in Figure 6-1 shows the output
code transfer function. In this diagram, the horizontal
axis is the analog input voltage and the vertical axis is
the output code of the ADC. It shows that when IN+ is
equal to IN-, both the sign bit and the data word is zero.
As IN+ gets larger with respect to IN-, the sign bit is a
zero and the data word gets larger. The full scale output
code is reached at +4095 when the input [(IN+) - (IN-)]
reaches VREF - 1 LSB. When IN- is larger than IN+, the
two’s complement output codes will be seen with the
sign bit being a one. Some examples of analog input
levels and corresponding output codes are shown in
Table 6-1.

Output Code Transfer Function.
Communicating with the MCP3302
and MCP3304
Communication with the MCP3302/04 devices is done
using a standard SPI-compatible serial interface.
Initiating communication with either device is done by
bringing the CS line low (see Figure 6-2). If the device
was powered up with the CS pin low, it must be brought
high and back low to initiate communication. The first
clock received with CS low and DIN high will constitute
a start bit. The SGL/DIFF bit follows the start bit and will
determine if the conversion will be done using singleended or differential input mode. Each channel in
Single-ended mode will operate as a 12-bit converter
with a unipolar output. No negative codes will be output
in Single-ended mode. The next three bits (D0, D1, and
D2) are used to select the input channel configuration.
Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 show the configuration bits for
the MCP3302 and MCP3304, respectively. The device
will begin to sample the analog input on the fourth rising
edge of the clock after the start bit has been received.
The sample period will end on the falling edge of the
fifth clock following the start bit.
clocks will output the result of the conversion with the
sign bit first, followed by the 12 remaining data bits, as
shown in Figure 6-2. Note that if the device is operating
in the Single-ended mode, the sign bit will always be
transmitted as a ‘0’. Data is always output from the
device on the falling edge of the clock. If all 13 data bits
have been transmitted, and the device continues to
receive clocks while the CS is held low, the device will
output the conversion result, LSB, first, as shown in
Figure 6-3. If more clocks are provided to the device
while CS is still low (after the LSB first data has been
transmitted), the device will clock out zeros indefinitely.
If necessary, it is possible to bring CS low and clock in
leading zeros on the DIN line before the start bit. This is
often done when dealing with microcontroller-based
SPI ports that must send 8 bits at a time. Refer to
Section 6.3
“Using
the
MCP3302/04
with
Microcontroller (MCU) SPI Ports” for more details on
using the MCP3302/04 devices with hardware SPI
ports.
After the D0 bit is input, one more clock is required to
complete the sample and hold period (DIN is a “don’t
care” for this clock). On the falling edge of the next
clock, the device will output a low null bit. The next 13

6.3
Using the MCP3302/04 with
Microcontroller (MCU) SPI Ports
As shown in Figure 6-4, the first byte transmitted to the
A/D Converter contains 6 leading zeros before the start
bit. Arranging the leading zeros this way produces the
13 data bits to fall in positions easily manipulated by the
MCU. The sign bit is clocked out of the A/D Converter
on the falling edge of clock number 11, followed by the
remaining data bits (MSB first). After the second eight
clocks have been sent to the device, the MCU receive
buffer will contain 2 unknown bits (the output is at highimpedance for the first two clocks), the null bit, the sign
bit, and the 4 highest order bits of the conversion. After
the third byte has been sent to the device, the receive
register will contain the lowest order eight bits of the
conversion results. Easier manipulation of the
converted data can be obtained by using this method.
With most microcontroller SPI ports, it is required to
send groups of eight bits. It is also required that the
microcontroller SPI port be configured to clock out data
on the falling edge of clock and latch data in on the
rising edge. Because communication with the
MCP3302 and MCP3304 devices may not need
multiples of eight clocks, it will be necessary to provide
more clocks than are required. This is usually done by
sending ‘leading zeros’ before the start bit. For
example, Figure 6-4 and Figure 6-5 show how the
MCP3302/04 devices can be interfaced to a MCU with
a hardware SPI port. Figure 6-4 depicts the operation
shown in SPI Mode 0,0, which requires that the SCLK
from the MCU idles in the ‘low’ state, while Figure 6-5
shows the similar case of SPI Mode 1,1, where the
clock idles in the ‘high’ state.
CS
Figure 6-5 shows the same situation in SPI Mode 1,1,
which requires that the clock idles in the high state. As
with mode 0,0, the A/D Converter outputs data on the
falling edge of the clock and the MCU latches data from
the A/D Converter in on the rising edge of the clock.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
