GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AS1419 is a 1μs, 800ksps, 14-bit sampling A/D
converter that draws only 150mW from ±5V supplies. This
easy-to-use device includes a high dynamic range sample-andhold and a precision reference. Two digitally selectable power
shutdown modes provide flexibility for low power systems.
The AS1419 has a full-scale input range of ±2.5V.
Outstanding AC performance includes 81.5dB S/(N + D) and
93dB THD with a 100kHz input; 80dB S/(N + D) and 86dB THD
at the Nyquist input frequency of 400kHz.
The unique differential input sample-and-hold can acquire
single-ended or differential input signals up to its 20MHz
bandwidth. The 60dB common mode rejection allows users to
eliminate ground loops and common mode noise by measuring
signals differentially from the source.
The ADC has a microprocessor compatible, 14-bit parallel
output port. There is no pipeline delay in the conversion
results. A separate convert start input and data ready signal
(BUSY\) ease connections to FIFOs, DSPs and
microprocessors.

without latchup.
4. When these pin voltages are taken below VSS, they will be
clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input
currents greater than 100mA below VSS without latchup. These
pins are not clamped to VDD.
5. VDD = 5V, VSS = –5V, fSAMPLE = 800kHz, tr = tf = 5ns unless
otherwise specified.
6. Linearity, offset and full-scale specifications apply for a single
ended +AIN input with – AIN grounded.
7. Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code
from a straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the
transfer curve. The deviation is measured from the center of
the quantization band.
8. Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from –0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 00 and

CONVERSION DETAILS
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The AS1419 uses a successive approximation algorithm
and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an analog
signal to a 14-bit parallel output. The ADC is complete with a
precision reference and an internal clock. The control logic
provides easy interface to microprocessors and DSPs (please
refer to Digital Interface section for the data format).
Conversion start is controlled by the CS\ and CONVST\
inputs. At the start of the conversion, the successive
approximation register (SAR) is reset. Once a conversion cycle
has begun, it cannot be restarted.
The AS1419 has excellent high speed sampling capability.
FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) test techniques are used to test
the ADC’s frequency response, distortion and noise at the rated
throughput. By applying a low distortion sine wave and
analyzing the digital output using an FFT algorithm, the ADC’s
spectral content can be examined for frequencies outside the
fundamental. Figure 2 shows a typical AS1419 FFT plot.
FIGURE 1: Simplified Block Diagram
During the conversion, the internal differential 14-bit
capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from the most
significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB).
Referring to Figure 1, the +AIN and –AIN inputs are connected
to the sample-and-hold capacitors (CSAMPLE) during the
acquire phase and the comparator offset is nulled by the zeroing switches. In this acquire phase, a minimum delay of 200ns
will provide enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitors to
acquire the analog signal. During the convert phase, the
comparator zeroing switches open, putting the comparator into
compare mode. The input switches the CSAMPLE capacitors to
ground, transferring the differential analog input charge onto
the summing junction. This input charge is successively compared with the binary weighted charges supplied by the differential capacitive DAC. Bit decisions are made by the high speed
comparator. At the end of a conversion, the differential DAC
output balances the +AIN and –AIN input charges. The SAR
contents (a 14-bit data word) which represents the difference of
+AIN and –AIN are loaded into the 14-bit output latches.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Total Harmonic Distortion
The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S/(N + D)] is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency to the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band limited to
frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling
frequency. Figure 2 shows a typical spectral content with a
800kHz sampling rate and a 100kHz input. The dynamic
performance is excellent for input frequencies up to and
beyond the Nyquist limit of 400kHz.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental
itself. The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency band
between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD is expressed
as:
Effective Number of Bits
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency
and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the second through
nth harmonics. THD vs Input Frequency is shown in Figure 4.
The AS1419 has good distortion performance up to the Nyquist
frequency and beyond.
The effective number of bits (ENOBs) is a measurement of
the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to the S/(N + D)
by the equation:
N = [S/(N + D) – 1.76]/6.02
where N is the effective number of bits of resolution and
S/(N + D) is expressed in dB. At the maximum sampling rate of
800kHz, the AS1419 maintains near ideal ENOBs up to the
Nyquist input frequency of 400kHz (refer to Figure 3).

AS1419A
then the AS1419 inputs can be driven directly. As source
impedance increases so will acquisition time (see Figure 6). For
minimum acquisition time with high source impedance, a buffer
amplifier should be used. The only requirement is that the
amplifier driving the analog input(s) must settle after the small
current spike before the next conversion starts (settling time
must be 200ns for full throughput rate).
Intermodulation Distortion
If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral
component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition to THD. IMD
is the change in one sinusoidal input caused by the presence of
another sinusoidal input at a different frequency.
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied
to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function
can create distortion products at the sum and difference
frequencies of mfa ±nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. For
example, the 2nd order IMD terms include (fa + fb). If the two
input sine waves are equal in magnitude, the value (in decibels)
of the 2nd order IMD products can be expressed by the
following formula:
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral
component excluding the input signal and DC. This value is
expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of a full-scale
input signal.
FIGURE 6: tACQ vs. Source Resistance
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by
3dB for a full-scale input signal.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the S/(N + D) has dropped to 77dB (12.5 effective bits). The
AS1419 has been designed to optimize input bandwidth,
allowing the ADC to undersample input signals with
frequencies above the converter’s Nyquist Frequency. The
noise floor stays very low at high frequencies; S/(N + D)
becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies far beyond
Nyquist.
Input Filtering
The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and
other circuitry must be considered since they will add to the
AS1419 noise and distortion. The small-signal bandwidth of
the sample-and-hold circuit is 20MHz. Any noise or distortion
products that are present at the analog inputs will be summed
over this entire bandwidth. Noisy input circuitry should be
filtered prior to the analog inputs to minimize noise. A simple
1-pole RC filter is sufficient for many applications. For example,
Figure 7 shows a 1000pF capacitor from +AIN to ground and a
Driving the Analog Input
The differential analog inputs of the AS1419 are easy to
drive. The inputs may be driven differentially or as a singleended
input (i.e., the –AIN input is grounded). The +AIN and –AIN
inputs are sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted signal
that is common mode to both inputs will be reduced by the
common mode rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit. The
inputs draw only one small current spike while charging the
sample-and-hold capacitors at the end of conversion. During
conversion, the analog inputs draw only a small leakage
current. If the source impedance of the driving circuit is low,

100Ω source resistor to limit the input bandwidth to 1.6MHz.
The 1000pF capacitor also acts as a charge reservoir for the
input sample-and-hold and isolates the ADC input from
sampling glitch sensitive circuitry. High quality capacitors and
resistors should be used since these components can add
distortion. NPO and silver mica type dielectric capacitors have
excellent linearity. Carbon surface mount resistors can also
generate distortion from self heating and from damage that may
occur during soldering. Metal film surface mount resistors are
much less susceptible to both problems.
Input Range
The ±2.5V input range of the AS1419 is optimized for low
noise and low distortion. Most op amps also perform well over
this same range, allowing direct coupling to the analog inputs
and eliminating the need for special translation circuitry.
Some applications may require other input ranges. The
AS1419 differential inputs and reference circuitry can
accommodate other input ranges often with little or no
additional circuitry. The following sections describe the
reference and input circuitry and how they affect the input
range.
FIGURE 8a: AS1419 Reference Circuit
Internal Reference
The AS1419 has an on-chip, temperature compensated,
curvature corrected, bandgap reference that is factory trimmed
to 2.500V. It is connected internally to a reference amplifier and
is available at VREF (Pin 3) see Figure 8a. A 2k resistor is in series
with the output so that it can be easily overdriven by an external reference or other circuitry, see Figure 8b. The reference
amplifier gains the voltage at the VREF pin by 1.625 to create the
required internal reference voltage. This provides buffering
between the VREF pin and the high speed capacitive DAC. The
reference amplifier compensation pin (REFCOMP, Pin 4) must
be bypassed with a capacitor to ground. The reference
amplifier is stable with capacitors of 1µF or greater. For the best
noise performance, a 10µF ceramic or 10µF tantalum in parallel
with a 0.1µF ceramic is recommended.
The VREF pin can be driven with a DAC or other means
shown in Figure 9. This is useful in applications where the peak
input signal amplitude may vary. The input span of the ADC
can then be adjusted to match the peak input signal, maximizing
the signal-to-noise ratio. The filtering of the internal AS1419
reference amplifier will limit the bandwidth and settling time of
this circuit. A settling time of 5ms should be allowed for after a
reference adjustment.

Differential Inputs
The AS1419 has a unique differential sample-and-hold
circuit that allows rail-to-rail inputs. The ADC will always
convert the difference of +AIN – (–AIN) independent of the
common mode voltage (see Figure 11a). The common mode
rejection holds up to extremely high frequencies, see Figure
10a. The only requirement is that both inputs can not exceed
the AVDD or AVSS power supply voltages. Integral nonlinearity
errors (INL) and differential nonlinearity errors (DNL) are
independent of the common mode voltage, however, the
bipolar zero error (BZE) will vary. The change in BZE is
typically less than 0.1% of the common mode voltage. Dynamic
performance is also affected by the common mode voltage.
THD will degrade as the inputs approach either power supply
rail, from 86dB with a common mode of 0V to 76dB with a
common mode of 2.5V or – 2.5V. Differential inputs allow greater
flexibility for accepting different input ranges. Figure 10b shows
a circuit that converts a 0V to 5V analog input signal with only
an additional buffer that is not in the signal path.

Full-Scale and Offset Adjustment
Figure 11a shows the ideal input/output characteristics
for the AS1419. The code transitions occur midway between
successive integer LSB values (i.e., –FS + 0.5LSB, – FS + 1.5LSB,
–FS + 2.5LSB,... FS – 1.5LSB, FS – 0.5LSB). The output is two’s
complement binary with 1LSB = FS – (– FS)/16384 = 5V/16384 =
305.2µV. In applications where absolute accuracy is important,
offset and full-scale errors can be adjusted to zero. Offset error
must be adjusted before full-scale error. Figure 11b shows the
extra components required for full-scale error adjustment. Zero
offset is achieved by adjusting the offset applied to the –AIN
input. For zero offset error, apply –152µV (i.e., – 0.5LSB) at +AIN
and adjust the offset at the –AIN input until the output code
flickers between 0000 0000 0000 00 and 1111 1111 1111 11. For
full-scale adjustment, an input voltage of 2.499544V (FS/2 –
1.5LSBs) is applied to + AIN and R2 is adjusted until the output
code flickers between 0111 1111 1111 10 and 0111 1111 1111 11.

BOARD LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high
resolution or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best
performance from the AS1419, a printed circuit board with ground
plane is required. Layout should ensure that digital and analog
signal lines are separated as much as possible. Particular care
should be taken not to run any digital track alongside an
analog signal track or underneath the ADC.The analog input
should be screened by AGND.
An analog ground plane separate from the logic system
ground should be established under and around the ADC. Pin
5 (AGND), Pin 14 and Pin 19 (ADC’s DGND) and all other
analog grounds should be connected to this single analog
ground point. The REFCOMP bypass capacitor and the DVDD
bypass capacitor should also be connected to this analog
ground plane. No other digital grounds should be connected
to this analog ground plane. Low impedance analog and digital
power supply common returns are essential to low noise
operation of the ADC and the foil width for these tracks should
be as wide as possible. In applications where the ADC data
outputs and control signals are connected to a continuously
active microprocessor bus, it is possible to get errors in the
conversion results. These errors are due to feedthrough from
the microprocessor to the successive approximation
comparator. The problem can be eliminated by forcing the
microprocessor into a WAIT state during conversion or by
using three-state buffers to isolate the ADC data bus. The traces
connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be kept short
and should be made as wide as possible.
The AS1419 has differential inputs to minimize noise
coupling. Common mode noise on the +AIN and –AIN leads will
be rejected by the input CMRR. The –AIN input can be used as
a ground sense for the +AIN input; the AS1419 will hold and
convert the difference voltage between +AIN and –AIN. The
AS1419
AS1419A
leads to +AIN (Pin 1) and –AIN (Pin 2) should be kept as short as
possible. In applications where this is not possible, the +AIN
and –A IN traces should be run side by side to equalize
coupling.
SUPPLY BYPASSING
High quality, low series resistance ceramic, 10µF bypass
capacitors should be used at the VDD and REFCOMP pins.
Surface mount ceramic capacitors provide excellent bypassing
in a small board space. Alternatively, 10µF tantalum capacitors
in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors can be used. Bypass
capacitors must be located as close to the pins as possible.
The traces connecting the pins and the bypass capacitors must
be kept short and should be made as wide as possible.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The A/D converter is designed to interface with
microprocessors as a memory mapped device. The CS\ and RD\
control inputs are common to all peripheral memory interfacing.
A separate CONVST\ is used to initiate a conversion.
Internal Clock
The A/D converter has an internal clock that eliminates the
need of synchronization between the external clock and the CS\
and RD\ signals found in other ADCs. The internal clock is
factory trimmed to achieve a typical conversion time of 0.95μs
and a maximum conversion time over the full operating
temperature range of 1.15μs. No external adjustments are
required. The guaranteed maximum acquisition time is 300ns. In
addition, a throughput time of 1.25μs and a minimum sampling
rate of 800ksps are guaranteed.

Power Shutdown
The AS1419 provides two power shutdown modes, nap
and sleep, to save power during inactive periods. The nap mode
reduces the power by 95% and leaves only the digital logic and
reference powered up. The wake-up time from nap to active is
400ns. In sleep mode, the reference is shut down and only a
small current remains, about 250μA. Wake-up time from sleep
mode is much slower since the reference circuit must power up
and settle to 0.005% for full 14-bit accuracy. Sleep mode wakeup time is dependent on the value of the capacitor connected
to the REFCOMP (Pin 4). The wake-up time is 10ms with the
recommended 10μF capacitor. Shutdown is controlled by Pin 21
(SHDN\); the ADC is in shutdown when it is low. The shutdown mode is selected with Pin 20 (CS\); low selects nap.
Timing and Control
Conversion start and data read operations are controlled
by three digital inputs: CONVST\, CS\ and RD\. A logic “0”
applied to the CONVST\ pin will start a conversion after the
ADC has been selected (i.e., CS\ is low). Once initiated, it
cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete.
Converter status is indicated by the BUSY\ output. BUSY\ is
low during a conversion.
Figures 16 through 20 show several different modes of
operation. In modes 1a and 1b (Figures 16 and 17), CS\ and RD\
are both tied low. The falling edge of CONVST\ starts the
FIGURE 14a: CS\ to SHDN\ Timing
AS1419
AS1419A
conversion. The data outputs are always enabled and data can
be latched with the BUSY\ rising edge. Mode 1a shows
operation with a narrow logic low CONVST\ pulse. Mode 1b
shows a narrow logic high CONVST\ pulse.
In mode 2 (Figure 18), CS\ is tied low. The falling edge of
the CONVST\ signal again starts the conversion. Data outputs
are in three-state until read by the MPU with the RD\ signal.
Mode 2 can be used for operation with a shared MPU databus.
In slow memory and ROM modes (Figures 19 and 20), CS\
is tied low and CONVST\ and RD\ are tied together. The MPU
starts the conversion and reads the output with the RD\ signal.
Conversions are started by the MPU or DSP (no external sample
clock).
In slow memory mode, the processor applies a logic low
to RD\ (= CONVST\), starting the conversion. BUSY\ goes low,
forcing the processor into a WAIT state. The previous
conversion result appears on the data outputs. When the
conversion is complete, the new conversion results appear on
the data outputs; BUSY\ goes high, releasing the processor
and the processor takes RD\ (= CONVST\) back high and reads
the new conversion data.
In ROM mode, the processor takes RD\ (= CONVST\) low,
starting a conversion and reading the previous conversion
result. After the conversion is complete, the processor can read
the new result and initiate another conversion.
