FEATURES
and AD4008 offer 2 MSPS, 1 MSPS, and 500 kSPS throughputs,
respectively. They incorporate ease of use features that reduce
signal chain power consumption, reduce signal chain complexity,
and enable higher channel density. The high-Z mode, coupled
with a long acquisition phase, eliminates the need for a dedicated
high power, high speed ADC driver, thus broadening the range
of low power precision amplifiers that can drive these ADCs
directly while still achieving optimum performance. The input
span compression feature enables the ADC driver amplifier and
the ADC to operate off of common supply rails without the need
for a negative supply while preserving the full ADC code range.
The low serial peripheral interface (SPI) clock rate requirement
reduces the digital input/output power consumption, broadens
processor options, and simplifies the task of sending data across
digital isolation.

10-lead packages: 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP, 3 mm × 4.90 mm MSOP
Operating from a 1.8 V supply, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
sample an analog input (IN+) from 0 V to VREF with respect to
a ground sense (IN−) with VREF ranging from 2.4 V to 5.1 V.
The AD4000 consumes only 14 mW at 2 MSPS with a minimum
SCK rate of 70 MHz in turbo mode, the AD4004 consumes only
7 mW at 1 MSPS, and the AD4008 consumes only 3.5 mW at
500 kSPS. The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 all achieve ±1.0 LSB
integral nonlinearity error (INL) maximum, guaranteed no
missing codes at 16 bits, and 93 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
for 1 kHz inputs. The reference voltage is applied externally and
can be set independently of the supply voltage.
The SPI-compatible versatile serial interface features seven
different modes including the ability, using the SDI input, to
daisy-chain several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus, and provides
an optional busy indicator. The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are
compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V logic, using the
separate VIO supply.

The acquisition phase is the time available for the input sampling capacitors to acquire a new input with the ADC running at a throughput rate of 2 MSPS for the
AD4000, 1 MSPS for the AD4004, and 500 kSPS for the AD4008.
2
A throughput rate of 2 MSPS can only be achieved with turbo mode enabled and a minimum SCK rate of 70 MHz. Refer to Table 4 for the maximum achievable
throughput for different modes of operation.
3
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to acquire a full-scale input step to ±0.5 LSB accuracy.
4
The minimum and maximum values are guaranteed by characterization, but not production tested.

Description
Reference Input Voltage. The VREF range is 2.4 V to 5.1 V. This pin is referred to the GND pin and must be
decoupled closely to the GND pin with a 10 µF, X7R ceramic capacitor.
1.8 V Power Supply. The VDD range is 1.71 V to 1.89 V. Bypass VDD to GND with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor.
Analog Input. This input is referred to analog ground sense pin (IN−). The device samples the voltage
differential between IN+ and IN− on the leading edge on CNV. The operating input range of IN+ − IN− is
0 V to VREF.
Analog Input Ground Sense. Connect this pin to the analog ground plane or to a remote sense ground.
Power Supply Ground.
Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its leading edge, it initiates the conversions and selects
the interface mode of the device: daisy-chain mode or CS mode. In CS mode, the SDO pin is enabled
when CNV is low. In daisy-chain mode, the data is read when CNV is high.
Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK.
Serial Data Clock Input. When the device is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock.
Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as follows.
Daisy-chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data
input to daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital data
level on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 16 SCK cycles.
CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can enable
the serial output signals when low. If SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete, the busy indicator
feature is enabled. With CNV low, the device can be programmed by clocking in a 16-bit word on SDI on
the rising edge of SCK.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally, this pin is at the same supply as the host interface (1.8 V,
2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V). Bypass VIO to GND with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor.
Exposed Pad (LFCSP Only). Connect the exposed pad to GND. This connection is not required to meet
the specified performance.
AI is analog input, P is power, DI is digital input, and DO is digital output.
N/A means not applicable.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
INL is the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn
from negative full scale through positive full scale. The point
used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first code
transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB beyond
the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the
middle of each code to the true straight line (see Figure 32).
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the
maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in
terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed.
Zero Error
Zero error is the difference between the ideal voltage that
results in the first code transition (½ LSB above analog ground)
and the actual voltage producing that code.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100 ... 00 to 100 ... 01) occurs at a level
½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−4.999981 V for the
±5 V range). The last transition (from 011 … 10 to 011 … 11)
occurs for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full
scale (+4.999943 V for the ±5 V range). The gain error is the
deviation of the difference between the actual level of the last
transition and the actual level of the first transition from the
difference between the ideal levels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms
amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD as follows:
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in decibels.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the total rms noise measured. The value for dynamic range is
expressed in decibels. It is measured with a signal at −60 dBFS
so that it includes all noise sources and DNL artifacts.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components that are less than
the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.
The value of SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measure of the acquisition performance
and is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and
when the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to acquire a
full-scale input step to ±0.5 LSB accuracy.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR is the ratio of the power in the ADC output at the
frequency, f, to the power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave applied to
the ADC VDD supply of frequency, f.
ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02
ENOB is expressed in bits.
PSRR (dB) = 10 log(PVDD_IN/PADC_OUT)
where:
PVDD_IN is the power at the frequency, f, at the VDD pin.
PADC_OUT is the power at the frequency, f, in the ADC output.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are high speed, low power, singlesupply, precise, 16-bit pseudo differential ADCs based on a SAR
architecture.
The AD4000 is capable of converting 2,000,000 samples per
second (2 MSPS), the AD4004 is capable of converting
1,000,000 samples per second (1 MSPS), and the AD4008 is
capable of converting 500,000 samples per second (500 kSPS).
The power consumption of the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
scales with throughput because they power down in between
conversions. When operating at 10 kSPS, for example, they
typically consume 70 µW, making them ideal for batterypowered applications. The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 also
have a valid first conversion after being powered down for
long periods, which can further reduce power consumed in
applications in which the ADC does not need to be constantly
converting.
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 provide the user with an on-chip
track-and-hold and do not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency,
making them ideal for multiplexed applications.
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 incorporate a multitude of
unique ease of use features that result in a lower system power
and smaller footprint.
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 each have an internal voltage
clamp that protects the device from overvoltage damage on the
analog inputs.
The analog input incorporates circuitry that reduces the
nonlinear charge kickback seen from a typical switched
capacitor SAR input. This reduction in kickback, combined
with a longer acquisition phase, means reduced settling
requirements on the driving amplifier. This combination
allows the use of lower bandwidth and lower power amplifiers
as drivers. It has the additional benefit of allowing a larger
resistor value in the input RC filter and a corresponding smaller
capacitor, which results in a smaller RC load for the amplifier,
improving stability and power dissipation.
High-Z mode can be enabled via the SPI interface by programming
a register bit (see Table 14). When high-Z mode is enabled,
the ADC input has a low input charging current at low input
signal frequencies as well as improved distortion over a wide
frequency range up to 100 kHz. For frequencies greater than
100 kHz and multiplexing, disable high-Z mode.
For single-supply applications, a span compression feature
creates additional headroom and footroom for the driving
amplifier to access the full range of the ADC.
The fast conversion time of the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008,
along with turbo mode, allows low clock rates to read back
conversions, even when running at their respective maximum
throughput rates. Note that, for the AD4000, the full throughput
rate of 2 MSPS can be achieved only with turbo mode enabled.
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 can interface with any 1.8 V to
5 V digital logic family. These devices are available in a 10-lead
MSOP or a tiny 10-lead LFCSP that allows space savings and
flexible configurations.
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are pin for pin compatible with
some of the 14-/16-/18-/20-bit precision SAR ADCs listed in
Table 8.

Data Sheet
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
input of the comparator are connected to GND via the SW+
and SW− switches. All independent switches connect the other
terminal of each capacitor to the analog inputs. The capacitor
arrays are used as sampling capacitors and acquire the analog
signal on the IN+ and IN− inputs.
When the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input
goes high, a conversion phase initiates. When the conversion
phase begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to
the GND input. The differential voltage between the IN+ and
IN− inputs captured at the end of the acquisition phase is
applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to
become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor
array between GND and VREF, the comparator input varies by
binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4, …, VREF/65,536).
The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB,
to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After
the completion of this process, the control logic generates the
ADC output code and a busy signal indicator.

The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are SAR-based ADCs using a
charge redistribution sampling digital-to-analog converter
(DAC). Figure 31 shows the simplified schematic of the ADC.
The capacitive DAC consists of two identical arrays of 16 binary
weighted capacitors, which are connected to the comparator
inputs.
Because the AD4000, the AD4004, and the AD4008 have onboard conversion clocks, the serial clock, SCK, is not required
for the conversion process.

Figure 35. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
Input Overvoltage Clamp Circuit
Most ADC analog inputs, IN+ and IN−, have no overvoltage
protection circuitry apart from ESD protection diodes. During
an overvoltage event, an ESD protection diode from an analog
input pin (IN+ or IN−) to REF forward biases and shorts the
input pin to REF, potentially overloading the reference or
causing damage to the device. The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
internal overvoltage clamp circuit with a larger external resistor
(REXT = 200 Ω) eliminates the need for external protection
diodes and protects the ADC inputs against dc overvoltages.
In applications where the amplifier rails are greater than VREF
and less than ground, it is possible for the output to exceed
the input voltage range of the device. In this case, the
AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 internal voltage clamp circuit
ensures that the voltage on the input pin does not exceed VREF +
0.4 V and prevents damage to the device by clamping the input
voltage in a safe operating range and avoiding disturbance of
the reference, which is particularly important for systems that
share the reference among multiple ADCs.
If the analog input exceeds the reference voltage by 0.4 V, the
internal clamp circuit turns on and the current flows through
the clamp into ground, preventing the input from rising further
and potentially causing damage to the device. The clamp turns
on before D1 (see Figure 35) and can sink up to 50 mA of current.
When the clamp is active, it sets the overvoltage (OV) clamp flag
bit in the register that can be read back (see Table 14), which is
a sticky bit that must be read to be cleared. The status of the
clamp can also be checked in the status bits using an OV clamp
flag (see Table 15). The clamp circuit does not dissipate static
power in the off state. Note that the clamp cannot sustain the
overvoltage condition for an indefinite amount of time.
The external RC filter is usually present at the ADC input
to band limit the input signal. During an overvoltage event,
excessive voltage is dropped across REXT, and REXT becomes part
of a protection circuit. The REXT value can vary from 200 Ω to
20 kΩ for 15 V protection. The CEXT value can be as low as 100 pF
for correct operation of the clamp. See Table 1 for input overvoltage
clamp specifications.
The analog input structure allows the sampling of the true
differential signal between IN+ and IN−. By using these
differential inputs, signals common to both inputs are rejected.
By using IN− to sense a remote signal ground, ground potential
differences between the sensor and the local ADC ground are
eliminated.
Switched Capacitor Input
During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog
inputs (IN+ or IN−) can be modeled as a parallel combination
of Capacitor CPIN and the network formed by the series connection
of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance. RIN is typically
400 Ω and is a lumped component composed of serial resistors
and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is typically 40 pF and
is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor.
During the conversion phase, where the switches are open, the
input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a singlepole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effects and
limits noise.
RC Filter Values
The RC filter value (represented by R and C in Figure 33 and
Figure 34) and driving amplifier can be selected depending on
the input signal bandwidth of interest at the full throughput.
Lower input signal bandwidth means that the RC cutoff can be
lower, thereby reducing noise into the converter. For optimum
performance at various throughputs, use the recommended RC
values (200 Ω, 180 pF) and the ADA4805-1.
The RC values shown in Table 10 are chosen for ease of drive
considerations and greater ADC input protection. The
combination of a large R value (200 Ω) and small C value
results in a reduced dynamic load for the amplifier to drive.
The smaller value of C means fewer stability and phase margin
concerns with the amplifier. The large value of R limits the current
into the ADC input when the amplifier output exceeds the ADC
input range.

For ac applications, the driver must have a THD

AD4004/AD4008.
For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the analog input circuit of the AD4000/
AD4004/AD4008 must settle for a full-scale step onto the
capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0001525%, 15.25 ppm).
In the data sheet of the amplifier, settling at 0.1% to 0.01%
is more commonly specified. This settling may differ
significantly from the settling time at a 16-bit level and
must be verified prior to driver selection.

The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 incorporate high-Z mode, which
reduces the nonlinear charge kickback when the capacitor DAC
switches back to the input at the start of acquisition. Figure 40
shows the input current of the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 with
high-Z mode enabled and disabled. The low input current makes
the ADC easier to drive than the traditional SAR ADCs available
in the market, even with high-Z mode disabled. The input current
reduces further to submicroampere range when high-Z mode is
enabled. The high-Z mode is disabled by default but can be
enabled by writing to the register (see Table 14). Disable high-Z
mode for input frequencies above 100 kHz or when multiplexing.
Additionally, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 can be driven with a
much higher source impedance than traditional SARs, which
means the resistor in the RC filter can have a value 10 times larger
than previous SAR designs and with high-Z mode enabled can
tolerate even larger impedance. Figure 41 shows the THD
performance for various source impedances with high-Z mode
disabled and enabled.

To achieve the optimum data sheet performance from high
resolution precision SAR ADCs, system designers are often forced
to use a dedicated high power, high speed amplifier to drive the
traditional switched capacitor SAR ADC inputs for their precision
applications, which is commonly encountered in designing a
precision data acquisition signal chain. The benefits of high-Z
mode are low input current for slow (<10 kHz) or dc type signals
and improved distortion (THD) performance over a frequency
range of up to 100 kHz. High-Z mode allows a choice of lower
power and lower bandwidth precision amplifiers with a lower
RC filter cutoff to drive the ADC, removing the need for dedicated
high speed ADC drivers, which saves system power, size, and cost
in precision, low bandwidth applications. High-Z mode allows the
amplifier and RC filter in front of the ADC to be chosen based on
the signal bandwidth of interest and not based on the settling
requirements of the switched capacitor SAR ADC inputs.
THD (dB)
In single-supply applications, it is desirable to use the full range
of the ADC; however, the amplifier can have some headroom
and footroom requirements, which can be a problem, even if it
is a rail-to-rail input and output amplifier. The AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 include a span compression feature, which increases
the headroom and footroom available to the amplifier by reducing
the input range by 10% from the top and bottom of the range
while still accessing all available ADC codes (see Figure 39). The
SNR decreases by approximately 1.9 dB (20 × log(8/10)) for the
reduced input range when span compression is enabled. Span
compression is disabled by default but can be enabled by writing
to the relevant register bit (see the Digital Interface section).

INPUT CURRENT (μA)
Switching multiplexer channels typically results in large voltage
steps at the ADC inputs. To ensure an accurate conversion result,
the step must be given adequate time to settle before the ADC
samples its inputs (on the rising edge of CNV). The settling
time error is dependent on the drive circuitry (multiplexer
and ADC driver), RC filter values, and the time when the
multiplexer channels are switched. Switch the multiplexer
channels immediately after tQUIET1 has elapsed from the start
of the conversion to maximize settling time and to prevent
corruption of the conversion result. To avoid conversion
corruption, do not switch the channels during the tQUIET1 time.
If the analog inputs are multiplexed during the quiet conversion
time (tQUIET1), the current conversion may be corrupted.

When high-Z mode is enabled, the ADC consumes approximately
1 mW per MSPS of extra power; however, this is still significantly
lower than using dedicated ADC drivers like the ADA4807-1.
For any system, the front end usually limits the overall ac/dc
performance of the signal chain. The data sheets of the selected
precision amplifiers, shown in Figure 42 and Figure 43, show
that their own noise and distortion performance dominates the
SNR and THD specification at a certain input frequency.

THD (dB)
Figure 42 and Figure 43 show the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
SNR and THD performance using the ADA4077-1 (supply
current per amplifier (ISY) = 400 µA) and ADA4610-1 (ISY =
1.50 mA) precision amplifiers when driving the AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 at full throughput for high-Z mode both enabled and
disabled with various RC filter values. These amplifiers achieve
91 dB to 92 dB typical SNR and close to −100 dB typical THD
with high-Z enabled for a 2.27 MHz RC bandwidth. THD is
approximately 5 dB better with high-Z mode enabled, even for
large R values greater than 200 Ω. SNR maintains close to 85 dB
even with a very low RC filter cutoff.

fIN = 1 kHz (Turbo Mode On, High-Z Enabled/Disabled),
VDD = 1.8 V, VIO = 3.3 V, VREF = 5 V, 25°C
Long Acquisition Phase
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 also feature a fast conversion
time of 290 ns, which results in a long acquisition phase. The
acquisition is further extended by a key feature of the AD4000/
AD4004/AD4008: the ADC returns to the acquisition phase
typically 100 ns before the end of the conversion. This feature
provides an even longer time for the ADC to acquire the new
input voltage. A longer acquisition phase reduces the settling
requirement on the driving amplifier, and a lower power/
bandwidth amplifier can be chosen. The longer acquisition
phase means that a lower RC filter (represented by R and C in
Figure 33 and Figure 34) cutoff can be used, which means a
noisier amplifier can also be tolerated. A larger value of R can
be used in the RC filter with a corresponding smaller value of C,
reducing amplifier stability concerns without affecting distortion
performance significantly. A larger value of R also results in
reduced dynamic power dissipation in the amplifier.
See Table 10 for details on setting the RC filter bandwidth and
choosing a suitable amplifier.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
A 10 µF (X7R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate
for the optimum performance of the reference input.
For higher performance and lower drift, use a reference such as
the ADR4550. Use a low power reference such as the ADR3450
at the expense of a slight decrease in the noise performance. It is
recommended to use a reference buffer such as the ADA4807-1
between the reference and the ADC reference input. It is important
to consider the optimum capacitance necessary to keep the
reference buffer stable as well as to meet the minimum ADC
requirement stated previously in this section (that is, a 10 µF
ceramic chip capacitor, CREF).

Data Sheet
POWER SUPPLY
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 use two power supply pins: a core
supply (VDD) and a digital input/output interface supply (VIO).
VIO allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V and 5.5 V.
To reduce the number of supplies needed, VIO and VDD can be
tied together for 1.8 V operation. The ADP7118 low noise,
CMOS, low dropout (LDO) linear regulator is recommended to
power the VDD and VIO pins. The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
are independent of power supply sequencing between VIO and
VDD. Additionally, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are insensitive
to power supply variations over a wide frequency range, as
shown in Figure 44.
Although the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 have a reduced number
of pins, they offer flexibility in their serial interface modes. The
AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 can also be programmed via 16-bit
SPI writes to the configuration registers.

The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 provide a daisy-chain feature using
the SDI input for cascading multiple ADCs on a single data line,
similar to a shift register.

The mode in which the device operates depends on the SDI
level when the CNV rising edge occurs. CS mode is selected if
SDI is high, and daisy-chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The
SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected
together, daisy-chain mode is always selected.

The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 power down automatically at
the end of each conversion phase; therefore, the power scales
linearly with the sampling rate. This feature makes the device
ideal for low sampling rates (even a few samples per second)
and battery-powered applications. Figure 45 shows the

In either 3-wire or 4-wire mode, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
offer the option of forcing a start bit in front of the data bits.
This start bit can be used as a busy signal indicator to interrupt
the digital host and trigger the data reading. Otherwise, without a
busy indicator, the user must time out the maximum conversion
time prior to readback.

When in CS mode, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are compatible
with SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE®, digital hosts, and DSPs. In this
mode, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 can use either a 3-wire or 4wire interface. A 3-wire interface using the CNV, SCK, and SDO
signals minimizes wiring connections, which is useful, for instance,
in isolated applications. A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV,
SCK, and SDO signals allows CNV, which initiates the conversions,
to be independent of the readback timing (SDI). This interface
is useful in low jitter sampling or simultaneous sampling
applications.

The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 have turbo mode capability in
both 3-wire and 4-wire mode. Turbo mode is enabled by writing
to the configuration register and replaces the busy indicator
feature when enabled. Turbo mode allows a slower SPI clock rate,
making interfacing simpler. The maximum throughput of
2 MSPS for the AD4000 can be achieved only with turbo mode
enabled and a minimum SCK rate of 70 MHz.
Rev. C | Page 24 of 36
Data Sheet
AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
The SCK rate must be sufficiently fast to ensure that the
conversion result is clocked out before another conversion is
initiated. The minimum required SCK rate for an application
can be derived based on the sample period (tCYC), the number of
bits that must be read (including data and optional status bits),
and which digital interface mode is used. Timing diagrams and
explanations for each digital interface mode are given in the
digital modes of operation sections (see the CS Mode, 3-Wire
Turbo Mode section through the Daisy-Chain Mode section).
Status bits can also be clocked out at the end of the conversion
data if the status bits are enabled in the configuration register.
There are six status bits in total as described in Table 15.
All access to the register map must start with a write to the 8-bit
command register in the SPI interface block. The AD4000/
AD4004/AD4008 ignore all 1s until the first 0 is clocked in
(represented by WEN in Figure 46, Figure 47, and Table 12);
the value loaded into the command register is always a 0
followed by seven command bits. This command determines
whether that operation is a write or a read. The AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 command register is shown in Table 13.

The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are configured by 16-bit SPI writes
to the desired configuration register. The 16-bit word can be
written via the SDI line while CNV is held low. The 16-bit word
consists of an 8-bit header and 8-bit register data. For isolated
systems, the ADuM141D is recommended, which can support
the 70 MHz SCK rate required to run the AD4000 at its full
throughput of 2 MSPS.
All register read/writes must occur while CNV is low. Data on
SDI is clocked in on the rising edge of SCK. Data on SDO is
clocked out on the falling edge of SCK. At the end of the data
transfer, SDO is put in a high impedance state on the rising
edge of CNV if daisy-chain mode is not enabled. If daisy-chain
mode is enabled, SDO goes low on the rising edge of CNV.
Register reads are not allowed in daisy-chain mode.
REGISTER READ/WRITE FUNCTIONALITY
A register write requires three signal lines: SCK, CNV, and SDI.
During a register write, to read the current conversion results
on SDO, the CNV pin must be brought low after the conversion
is completed; otherwise, the conversion results may be incorrect
on SDO. However, the register write occurs regardless.
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 register bits are programmable
and their default statuses are shown in Table 12. The register map
is shown in Table 14. The OV clamp flag is a read only sticky bit,
and it is cleared only if the register is read and the overvoltage
condition is no longer present. The OV clamp flag gives an
indication of overvoltage condition when it is set to 0.

The LSB of each configuration register is reserved because a
user reading 16-bit conversion data may be limited to a 16-bit
SPI frame. The state of SDI on the last bit in the SDI frame may
be the state that then persists when CNV rises. Because interface
mode is partly set based on the SDI state when CNV rises, in
this scenario, the user may need to set the final SDI state.
The timing diagrams in Figure 46 through Figure 48 show how
data is read and written when the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are
configured in register read, write, and daisy-chain mode.

When SDI is forced high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion. The previous conversion data is available to read
after the CNV rising edge. The user must wait tQUIET1 time after
CNV is brought high before bringing CNV low to clock out the
previous conversion result. The user must also wait tQUIET2 time
after the last falling edge of SCK to when CNV is brought high.
CS MODE, 3-WIRE TURBO MODE
This mode is typically used when a single AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 device is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host. It
provides additional time during the end of the ADC conversion
process to clock out the previous conversion result, providing a
lower SCK rate. The AD4000 can achieve a throughput rate of
2 MSPS only when turbo mode is enabled and using a minimum
SCK rate of 70 MHz. With turbo mode enabled, the AD4004
can also achieve its maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS with a
minimum SCK rate of 22 MHz, and the AD4008 can achieve its
maximum throughput rate of 500 kSPS with a minimum SCK rate
of 10 MHz. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 50, and
the corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 51.
When the conversion is complete, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
enter the acquisition phase and power down. When CNV goes
low, the MSB is output to SDO. The remaining data bits are
clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on
both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can capture the data,
a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the 16th SCK
falling edge or when CNV goes high (whichever occurs first),
SDO returns to high impedance.
This mode replaces the 3-wire with busy indicator mode by
programming the turbo mode bit, Bit 1 (see Table 14).

CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is typically used when a single AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 device is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 52, and the
corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 53.
When the conversion is complete, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008

rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the 16th SCK
falling edge or when CNV goes high (whichever occurs first),
SDO returns to high impedance.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. After a conversion is initiated, it continues until
completion irrespective of the state of CNV. This feature can be
useful, for instance, to bring CNV low to select other SPI
devices, such as analog multiplexers; however, CNV must be
returned high before the minimum conversion time elapses and
There must not be any digital activity on SCK during the
conversion.

subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK

provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional 17th
SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high (whichever occurs

CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is typically used when a single AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 device is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host
with an interrupt input (IRQ).
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 54, and the
corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 55.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,
selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. SDO
is maintained in high impedance until the completion of the
conversion, irrespective of the state of CNV. Prior to the minimum
conversion time, CNV can select other SPI devices, such as analog
multiplexers; however, CNV must be returned low before the
minimum conversion time elapses and then held low for the
maximum possible conversion time to guarantee the generation
of the busy signal indicator.
If multiple AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 devices are selected at the
same time, the SDO output pin handles this contention without
damage or induced latch-up. It is recommended to keep this
contention as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.
There must not be any digital activity on the SCK during the
conversion.
When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance
to low impedance. With a pull-up resistor of 1 kΩ on the SDO
line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate

CS MODE, 4-WIRE TURBO MODE
This mode is typically used when a single AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 device is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host.
It provides additional time during the end of the ADC conversion
process to clock out the previous conversion result, providing a
lower SCK rate. The AD4000 can achieve a throughput rate of
2 MSPS only when turbo mode is enabled and using a minimum
SCK rate of 70 MHz. With turbo mode enabled, the AD4004
can also achieve its maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS with a
minimum SCK rate of 22 MHz, and the AD4008 can achieve its
maximum throughput rate of 500 kSPS with a minimum SCK
rate of 10 MHz. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 56,
and the corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 57.
When the conversion is complete, the AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 enter the acquisition phase and power down. The
ADC result can be read by bringing the SDI input low, which
consequently outputs the MSB onto SDO. The remaining data
bits are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data
is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can capture
the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster

indicator.
CS MODE, 4-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is typically used when multiple AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 devices are connected to an SPI-compatible digital host.
When the conversion is complete, the AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 enter the acquisition phase and power down. Each
ADC result can be read by bringing its SDI input low, which
consequently outputs the MSB onto SDO. The remaining data
bits are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data
is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can capture
the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster
reading rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the
16th SCK falling edge or when SDI goes high (whichever occurs
first), SDO returns to high impedance and another AD4000/
AD4004/AD4008 can be read.
A connection diagram example using two AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 devices is shown in Figure 58, and the corresponding
timing diagram is shown in Figure 59.
With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,
selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this
mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and
the subsequent data readback. If SDI and CNV are low, SDO is
driven low. Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI can
select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers; however,
SDI must be returned high before the minimum conversion

select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers; however,
SDI must be returned low before the minimum conversion time
elapses and then held low for the maximum possible conversion
time to guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator.
This mode is typically used when a single AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 device is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host
with an interrupt input (IRQ), and when it is desired to keep
CNV, which samples the analog input, independent of the
signal used to select the data reading. This independence is
particularly important in applications where low jitter on CNV
is desired.
When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance
to low impedance. With a pull-up resistor of 1 kΩ on the SDO
line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate
the data readback controlled by the digital host. The AD4000/
AD4004/AD4008 then enter the acquisition phase and power
down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by
subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK
edges. Although the rising edge can capture the data, a digital
host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate,
provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional 17th
SCK falling edge or when SDI goes high (whichever occurs
first), SDO returns to high impedance.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 60, and the
corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 61.
With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,

the daisy-chain outputs its data MSB first, and 16 × N clocks are
required to read back the N ADCs. The data is valid on both
SCK edges. The maximum conversion rate is reduced because of
the total readback time.
DAISY-CHAIN MODE
Use this mode to daisy-chain multiple AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
devices on a 3-wire or 4-wire serial interface. This feature is
useful for reducing component count and wiring connections,
for example, in isolated multiconverter applications or for
systems with a limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is
analogous to clocking a shift register.
It is possible to write to each ADC register in daisy-chain mode.
The timing diagram is shown in Figure 48. This mode requires
4-wire operation because data is clocked in on the SDI line with
CNV held low. The same command byte and register data can
be shifted through the entire chain to program all ADCs in the
chain with the same register contents, which requires 8 × (N + 1)
clocks for N ADCs. It is possible to write different register contents
to each ADC in the chain by writing to the furthest ADC in the
chain first, using 8 × (N + 1) clocks, and then the second furthest
ADC with 8 × N clocks, and so forth until reaching the nearest
ADC in the chain, which requires 16 clocks for the command
and register data. It is not possible to read register contents in
daisy-chain mode; however, the six status bits can be enabled if
the user wants to determine the ADC configuration. Note that
enabling the status bits requires six extra clocks to clock out the
ADC result and the status bits per ADC in the chain. Turbo
mode cannot be used in daisy-chain mode.
A connection diagram example using two AD4000/AD4004/
AD4008 devices is shown in Figure 62, and the corresponding
timing diagram is shown in Figure 63.
When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK low,
a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects daisy-chain
mode, and disables the busy indicator. In this mode, CNV is
held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data
readback.
When the conversion is complete, the MSB is output onto SDO,
and the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 enter the acquisition phase
and power down. The remaining data bits stored in the internal
shift register are clocked out of SDO by subsequent SCK falling
edges. For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the internal shift
register and is clocked by the SCK rising edges. Each ADC in

AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The PCB that houses the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 must be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. The pinout of the
AD4000/AD4004/AD4008, with its analog signals on the left
side and its digital signals on the right side, eases this task.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because they
couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the
AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 is used as a shield. Fast switching
signals, such as CNV or clocks, must not run near analog signal
paths. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
EVALUATING THE AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
PERFORMANCE
Other recommended layouts for the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
are outlined in the user guide of the evaluation board for the
AD4000 (EVAL-AD4000FMCZ). The evaluation board package
includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board with the
AD4000, documentation, and software for controlling the board
from a PC via the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z. The EVAL-AD4000FMCZ
can also be used to evaluate the AD4004/AD4008 by limiting
the throughput to 1 MSPS/500 kSPS, respectively, in its software
(see the UG-1042).
At least one ground plane must be used. It can be common or
split between the digital and analog sections. In the latter case,
join the planes underneath the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 devices.
Finally, decouple the VDD and VIO power supplies of the
AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 with ceramic capacitors, typically
0.1 µF, placed close to the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 and
connected using short, wide traces to provide low impedance
paths and to reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply
lines.
14956-034
The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 voltage reference input (REF)
has a dynamic input impedance. Decouple the REF pin with
minimal parasitic inductances by placing the reference
decoupling ceramic capacitor close to (ideally right up against)
the REF and GND pins and connect them with wide, low
impedance traces.
Figure 64. Example Layout of the AD4000 (Top Layer)
14956-035
An example of the AD4000 layout following these rules is
shown in Figure 64 and Figure 65. Note that the AD4004/
AD4008 layout is equivalent to the AD4000 layout.
