FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The ADS8634 and ADS8638 (ADS8634/8) are 12-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) capable of
measuring inputs up to ±10V at 1MSPS. Using a
successive approximation register (SAR) core, these
ADCs provide a sample-and-hold front-end with no
latency in conversions. The ADS8634 includes an
input multiplexer (mux) for measuring up to four
inputs. The ADS8638 can measure up to eight inputs.

INL: ±0.9LSB
SNR: 71.8dB
Highly Integrated:
4- or 8-Channel Input Mux
Temperature Sensor
Internal Voltage Reference
Alarm Thresholds for Each Channel
Low Power:
14.45mW at 1MSPS
5.85mW at 0.1MSPS
Flexible Power-Down Mode
SPI™-Compatible Serial Interface
Extended Temperature Range:
–40°C to +125°C
Small Footprint: 4mm × 4mm QFN Package
In addition to the input multiplexer, the ADS8634/8
feature an internal temperature sensor, voltage
reference, and a digital comparator for setting alarm
thresholds on each input; therefore, a minimal
amount of external components are required. A
simple SPI-compatible interface provides for
communication and control. The digital supply
operates from 5V all the way down to 1.8V for direct
connection to a wide range of processors and
controllers.
Ideal for demanding industrial measurement
applications, the ADS8634/8 are fully specified over
the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C
to +125°C and are available in a small form-factor
QFN-24 package.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

OVERVIEW
The ADS8634 and ADS8638 are 12-bit, 4- and 8-channel devices, respectively. The ADS8634/8 feature
software-selectable bipolar and unipolar ranges, an internal reference with an option to use an external
reference, and an internal temperature sensor. Independent power-down control for the internal reference and
temperature sensor blocks allows for optimal power based on application. The following sections describe the
individual blocks and operation.
MULTIPLEXER AND ANALOG INPUT
The ADS8634/8 feature single ended inputs with ground sense and a 4-/8-channel, single-pole multiplexer,
respectively. The ADC samples the difference voltage between analog input pins AINx and the ground sense pin
AINGND. The ADS8634/8 can scan these analog inputs in either manual or auto-scan mode. In manual mode,
the channel is selected for every sample via a register write; in auto-scan mode, the channel number is
incremented automatically on every CS falling edge after the present channel is sampled. It is possible to select
the analog inputs for an auto scan with register settings. The devices automatically scan only the selected analog
inputs in ascending order.
The ADS8634/8 offer multiple software-programmable ranges ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, 0V to 5V, and 0V to 10V with a
2.5V reference. Any of these ranges can be assigned to any analog input (for instance, ±10V can be assigned to
AIN1, ±2.5V to AIN2, 0V to 10V can be assigned to AIN3, and so on). During a scan (either auto or manual), the
programmed signal range is assigned to the selected channel. The range selection, however, can be temporarily
overridden using the DIN line for a particular scan. This feature is useful for zooming into a narrow range when
needed. Refer to Table 11 for configuration register settings.

The ADS8634/8 sample the voltage difference (VAINx – VAINGND) between the selected analog input channel and
the AINGND pin. The ADS8634/8 allow a ±0.2V range on AINGND. This feature is useful in modular systems
where the sensor/signal conditioning block is removed from the ADC and when there could be a difference in the
ground potential of the sensor/signal condioner from the ADC ground. In such cases, it is recommended to run
separate wires from the AINGND terminal of the device to the sensor/signal conditioner ground.
REFERENCE
The ADS8634/8 measure the analog input signals relative to the voltage reference using either an internal
precision 2.5V voltage reference (Figure 73) or an external voltage reference (Figure 74). Binary-weighted
capacitors are switched onto the reference terminal during conversion. The switching frequency is the same as
the SCLK frequency. Whether it is an internal or external reference, be sure to decouple the REF terminal to
REFGND with a 10µF capacitor. Place the capacitor close to the REFP and REFGND pins.

These devices allow the use of an external reference in the range of 2.0V to 3.0V. The nominal input ranges
±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, 0V to 5V, and 0V to 10V assume a 2.5V reference; a different reference voltage scales the
full-scale ranges proportionately. For example, if a 3.0V reference is used and the ±10V range is selected, the
actual input range is scaled by (3.0/2.5) for a full-scale range of ±12V.
The internal reference can be enabled/disabled through the configuration register. The reference block is
powered down when the internal reference is disabled. Ensure that the internal reference is disabled when the
external reference is connected. The external reference is the default selection after power-on or reset.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The ADS8634/8 feature an on-chip temperature sensoras shown in Figure 75. The device temperature can be
read at any time during a scan, either in auto or manual mode.There are three registers associated with the
temperature sensor operation. The temperature sensor can be enabled/disabled through the Aux-Config
configuration register. Disabling the temperature sensor powers down the temperature block. It is necessary to
enable (power up) the temperature sensor at least one cycle before the device temperature sensor is selected
with the channel sequencing control registers (manual/auto). This selection overrides the input channel scan
sequence and range selection and connects the ADC input to an internal temperature sensor. The temperature
sensor must be deselected with channel sequencing control registers (manual/auto) to resume normal scanning.
In case of auto-sequencing, the device starts scanning from where it left off before the temperature
measurement. The temperature sensor is disabled by default after power-on or reset.

Figure 75. Reading the ADS8634/8 Temperature
(Refer to Table 11 for more details on configuration register settings)
The temperature sensor transfer function follows a straight line, as shown in Equation 1:
Output Code = mREF× Device Temperature in °C + CREF
(1)
Equation 1 can be re-written as Equation 2:
Device Temperature in °C = (Output Code – CREF)/mREF
where:
mREF = the slope,
and CREF = the offset (in ADC output code) of the temperature sensor transfer function
(2)
Both mREF and CREF change with the reference voltage. The initial values of mREF and CREF at a 2.5V reference
are: mREF_2.5 = 0.47 and CREF_2.5 = 3777.2

Values of mREF and CREF for any reference voltage other than 2.5V can be calculated using Equation 3 and
Equation 4:
mREF = mREF_2.5 × 2.5/VREF
CREF = (CREF_2.5 – 3584) × 2.5/VREF + 3584
(3)
(4)
For example, at a 2V reference:
mREF_2 = 0.47 × 2.5/2 = 0.59 and
CREF_2 = (3777.2 – 3584) × 2.5/2 + 3584 = 3825.5
For the reference voltage used, Equation 2 can be rewritted using mREF and CREF as calculated in Equation 3
and Equation 4.
Table 3 can be used as quick reference for temperature sensor transfer function at typical reference values.

AL_PD: USER-CONFIGURABLE PIN
The ADS8634/8 feature a user-configurable AL_PD pin. This pin can either be configured as an alarm output
(AL) or as a power-down control pin (PD). Refer to the Page 0, Register Descriptions for the ADS8638 and Page
0, Register Descriptions for the ADS8634 sections for details.
When programmed as an alarm output, an active-high alarm is flagged on this pin if there is a high or low alarm
on any channel. The Alarm Functionality section describes the pin details.
When programmed as PD, the AL_PD pin functions as an active-low power-down input pin. Powering down
through this pin is asynchronous. The devices power down immediately after the pin goes low. The Power-Down
Functionality section describes the pin details.
This pin is configured as a PD input by default after power-on or reset.
Alarm Functionality
The ADS8634/8 output an active-high alarm on the AL_PD pin when it is programmed as an AL. AL is
synchronous and changes its state on the 16th SCLK rising edge. A high level on AL indicates there is an active
alarm on one or more channels. This pin can be wired to interrupt the host input. When an alarm interrupt is
received, the alarm flag registers are read to determine which channels have an alarm.
The ADS8634/8 feature independently-programmable alarms for each channel. There are two alarms per
channel (low and high alarm) and each alarm threshold has a separate hysteresis setting.
The ADS8634/8 set a high alarm when the digital output for a particular channel exceeds the high alarm upper
limit (high alarm threshold T + hysteresis H). The alarm resets when the digital output for the channel is less than
or equal to the high alarm lower limit (high alarm T – H). This function is shown in Figure 78.

(T + H + 1) ADC Output
NOTE: T = alarm threshold and H = hysteresis.
Figure 78. High-Alarm Hysteresis
Similarly, the lower alarm is triggered when the digital output for a particular channel falls below the low alarm
lower limit (low alarm threshold T – H). The alarm resets when the digital output for the channel is greater than or
equal to the low alarm higher limit (low alarm T + H). This function is shown in Figure 79.

Figure 80 shows a functional block diagram for a single-channel alarm. For each high and low alarm there are
two flags: Active Alarm Flag and Tripped Alarm Flag; refer to the Alarm Flags for the ADS8638 (Read-Only) and
Alarm Flags for the ADS8634 (Read-Only) sections for more details. The active alarm flag is triggered when an
alarm condition is encountered for a particular channel; the active alarm flag resets when the alarm shuts off. A
tripped alarm flag sets an alarm condition in the same manner as it does for an active alarm flag; however, it
remains latched and resets only when the appropriate alarm flag register is read.

Power-Down Functionality
The ADS8634/8 feature a power-down/up control through the programmable AL_PD pin or the channel
sequencing control registers; see the Channel Sequencing Control Registers for the ADS8638 and Channel
Sequencing Control Registers for the ADS8634 sections for more details. This feature is extremely useful for
saving power while running the ADS8634/8 at a slower speed, or for acquiring data at full-speed in bursts and
then waiting in a power-down state for the next acquisition start event. Figure 81 through Figure 84 describe
entry to and exit from the power-down state.
The AL_PD pin can be programmed as a power-down control pin. The AL_PD pin, when programmed as PD, is
shown in Figure 81. A low on AL_PD powers down the device immediately; this action is asynchronous
operation. Data on DOUT are not valid when the device is in a power-down state.

A high level on AL_PD acts as a power-up request and the power-up sequence begins on the next CS falling
edge. The device is active after td(PWRUP). The first valid acquisition initiates in the first data frame (with a CS
falling edge) after a power-up delay. The first valid data are presented in the second data frame after the device
attains an active state, as shown in Figure 82.

The serial interface is active even during a device power-down state. Commands can be issued via the DIN pin
during a power-down state.
A power-up command (through DIN) is acknowledged on the next CS falling edge and a power-up sequence
initiates. An example of this command is given in Table 7. The device is in an active state after td(PWRUP) and
initiates a valid acquisition in the first data frame (initiated with a CS falling edge) after a power-up delay. The

DEVICE OPERATION
The ADS8634/8 are 12-bit, 4-/8-channel devices. Each frame begins with a CS falling edge. The ADS8634/8
sample the input signal from the selected channel on the CS falling edge and initiate conversion. SCLK is used
for conversion and data are output on the DOUT line while conversion is in process. The 16-bit data word
contains a 4-bit channel address followed by the 12-bit conversion result in MSB-first format. The MSB of the
4-bit channel address is output on the CS falling edge; the remaining address bits are clocked out serially for
three SCLK falling edges. The MSB of the 12-bit conversion result is output on the fourth SCLK falling edge.
Afterwards, the next lower data bits are ouput serially on every subsequen SCLK falling edge. Each data bit can
be read (latched) immediately on the next SCLK falling edge from the SCLK falling edge on which the respective
data bits are output. For example, if the MSB of a 12-bit data word is output on the fourth SCLK falling edge then
the same word can be latched on the fifth SCLK falling edge. Refer to the Hold time, SCLK falling to DOUT valid,
and Delay time, SCLK falling to DOUT parameters in the Timing Requirements section.
The 16-bit word is read on the DIN pin while the data are output on the DOUT pin. DIN data are latched on every
SCLK rising edge, starting with the first clock, as shown in Figure 85.

Figure 85. ADS8634/8 Operation
Device configuration and operation mode are controlled through register settings. It is recommended to write to
the configuration registers after powering on the device. The configuration information is retained until the
devices are powered off or reset. Note that powering down the device with either the AL_PD pin or a register
write does not erase the device configuration.
The ADS8634/8 feature an AL_PD pin that functions as a alarm output/power-down pin. The pin can be
programmed as an alarm output (AL) or it can be programmed as a power-down control pin (PD). When AL_PD
is programmed as an alarm output, it is refreshed on every 16th SCLK rising edge.

CHANNEL SEQUENCING MODES
The ADS8634/8 offer two channel sequencing modes: auto and manual. In auto-scan mode, the channel number
automatically increments every frame. In manual mode, the channel is selected for every frame of a register
write. The analog inputs can be selected for an automatic scan with a register setting. The device automatically
scans only the selected analog inputs in ascending order.
The auto-mode sequence can be reset at any time during an automatic scan (refer to the Auto register in the
PAGE-0 Register Map for the ADS8638 section ). When the reset command has been received, the ongoing
auto-mode sequence is reset and restarts it from the lowest selected channel in the sequence.
Figure 86 shows the DIN command sequence for transitions from auto to manual mode. Figure 87 shows the
DIN command sequence for transitions from manual to auto-scan mode. Note that each DIN command is
executed on the next CS falling edge.

DEVICE TEMPARATURE READ
The ADS8634/8 feature an internal temperature sensor. The device temperature can be read at any time during
any scan. It is essential to enable (power-up) the internal temperature at least one cycle before selecting the
temperature sensor for the device temperature measurement. The temperature sensor must be deselected after
temperature measurement. The device resumes the channel sequence from where it left the scan after
deselection of the temperature sensor. Do not disable (power-down) the temperature sensor before it is
deselected. Figure 88 illustrates a typical command sequence for device temperature measurement during an
auto scan.

SPI INTERFACE
The ADS8634/8 employ a four-wire SPI-compatible interface. Apart from the interface, CS and SCLK also
perform an ADC control function.
The data frame is synchronized with the CS falling edge. A low level on CS releases the DOUT pin from
three-state and the ADC conversion results are output on the DOUT line. Data bits are clocked out on the falling
edges of SCLK. The ADS8634/8 sample the analog input signal on the falling edge of CS and conversion is
performed using SCLK.
DOUT is the serial data output line. Depending on register settings,the ADC conversion results are output along
with the selected channel address or register data on the DOUT pin. The data output frame always consists of 16
bits. The SDO line goes to three-state after all the 16-bits of data frame are output or after CS goes high.
DIN is a serial data input line. It is used to program various registers for either device configuration or for
dynamic changes applicable on the next immediate CS falling edge.

DIN DATA FORMAT (SPI COMMAND WORD)
Device registers can be written to and read from. There must be a minimum of 16 SCLKs after the CS falling
edge for any read or write operation. The device receives the command (as shown in Table 9 and Table 10)
through DIN where the first seven bits (bits[15:9]) represent the register address and the eighth bit (bit 8) is the
read/write instruction. For a write cycle, the next eight bits (bits[7:0]) in the DIN are the desired data for the
addressed register (Table 9). For a read cycle, the next eight bits (bits[7:0]) in the DIN are don’t care. DOUT
outputs the 8-bit data from the addressed register (Table 10) during these eight clocks, corresponding to
bits[7:0].

SPI REGISTER WRITE CYCLE
Figure 89 shows a timing diagram of the SPI write cycle. The device executes the command on the first CS
falling edge after a command write cycle. The only exception to this command execution timing is the
power-down command. The power-down command (through a register write) is executed on the 16th falling edge
of SCLK. This falling edge occurs immediately after the last command bit is written to the device.

REGISTER MAP: ADS8638
The ADS8638 internal registers are mapped in two pages: page 0 and page 1. Page 0 is selected by default at
power-up and after reset. Any register read/write operation performed while on page 0 addresses the page 0
registers. Writing 01h to register address 7Fh selects page 1 for any further register operations.
Page 0 registers are used to select the channel sequencing mode, program the configuration registers, and read
the alarm flags. Page 1 resisters are used to program alarm thresholds for each channel and for the temperature
sensor. Table 11 details page 0 and Table 12 details page 1.

PAGE 0 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS: ADS8638
This section provides bit-by-bit descriptions of each page 0 register.
Channel Sequencing Control Registers for the ADS8638
There are two modes for channel sequencing: auto and manual mode. In auto-scan mode, the device
automatically scans the preselected channels in sequential order with a new channel selected for every
conversion. In manual mode, the channel is manually selected for the next conversion. In both modes, the
preselected signal range is considered for each channel independently. Note that the range can be temporarily
overriden.

Bits[3:1]
Range Select[2:0]
These bits select the signal range for the channel acquired in the next frame.
For example, if this register is written in frame number n, then the selected range is applicable for frame number n
+ 1. This is a dynamic range selection and overrides selection through the configuration registers (address 10h to
13h, page 0) only for the next frame.
000 = Ranges as selected through the configuration registers (address 10h to 13h, page 0)
001 = Range is set to ±10V
010 = Range is set to ±5V

Bit 7
Reset-Seq
This bit resets the auto-mode sequence counter.
The counter is reset to the lowest channel number in the selected sequence.
For example, if the Auto-Md Ch-Sel register is programmed to 01101100 (the auto-mode sequence channels are 2,
3, 5, 6, 2, 3, 5, 6…2, 3, 5, 6), and, if the Reset-Seq bit is programmed to '1' in frame n while channel 3 is sampled,
then the auto-mode sequence counter is reset to channel 2 in frame n + 1. This setting means that channel 2 is
sampled instead of channel 5 in frame n + 1.
0 = No reset (continue the sequence from the present channel number)
1 = Reset the channel sequncing counter
Bits[6:4]

110 = Range is set to 0V to 5V
111 = Powers down the device immediately after the 16th SCLK falling edge
Bit 0
Sel Temp Sensor
This bit selects the temperature sensor for acquisition in the next frame.
This selection overrides the channel selection through the auto sequence only for the next frame. The auto-mode
sequence continues from where it was interrupted after the temperature sensing frame.
For example, if the programmed auto sequence is channels 0, 1, 3, 0, 1, 3…0, 1, 3, and if the temperature sensor
is selected in frame number n while channel 0 is sampled, then the temperature sensor is sampled in frame n + 1.
The auto sequence resumes from frame n + 2 sampling channel 1.
Range selection is not applicable for the temperature sensor.
0 = Next conversion as selected through bits[3:1]
1 = The temperature sensor is selected for acquisition in the next frame

Continued Operation in the Selected Mode for the ADS8638
Holding the DIN line low continuously (equivalent to writing '0' to all 16 bits) during device operation as per
Figure 85, continues device operation in the last selected mode (auto or manual). The device follows the range
selection from the configuration registers (address 10h to 13h). The the internal temperature sensor continues to
be read if the temperature sensor was selected during the last auto/manual mode frame.
Configuration Registers for the ADS8638
The configuration registers allow device configuration (signal range selection for individual channels, selection of
channels for auto sequence, enabling/disabling of the internal reference and temperature sensor, and
configuration of the AL_PD pin as either an alarm output or a power-down input). All registers can be reset to the
default values using the configuration register.

Alarm Flag Registers for the ADS8638 (Read-Only)
The alarm conditions related to individual channels are stored in these registers. The flags can be read when an
alarm interrupt is received on the AL_PD pin. There are two types of flag for every alarm: active and tripped. The
active flag is set to '1' under the alarm condition (when data cross the alarm limit) and remains so as long as the
alarm condition persists. The tripped flag turns on the alarm condition similar to the active flag, but it remains set
until it is read. This feature relieves the device from having to track alarms.

PAGE 1 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS: ADS8638
This section provides bit-by-bit descriptions of each page 1 register. As described earlier, the device registers are
mapped to two pages. Page 0 is selected by default at power-up and after reset. Page 1 can be selected by
writing 01h to register address 7Fh. After selecting page 1, any register read/write action addresses the page 1
registers. Writing 00h to register address 7Fh selects page 0 for any further register operations.
Alarm Threshold Setting Registers for the ADS8638
The ADS8634/8 feature high and low alarms individually for the temperature sensor and each of the eight
channels. Each alarm threshold is 12 bits wide with a 4-bit hysteresis. This 16-bit setting is accomplished through
two 8-bit registers associated with every high/low alarm.

CHANNEL N HA/LA MSB REGISTER
Bits[7:4]
Chn-HA/LA Hysteresis[3:0]
These bits set the channel n high/low alarm hysteresis.
For example, bits[7:4] of the channel 6 HA MSB register (address 1Eh, page 1) set the channel 6 high alarm
hysteresis.
0000 = No hyeteresis
0001 = ±1LSB hystetesis
0010 to 1110 = ±2LSB to ±14LSB hystetesis
1111 = ±15-LSB hystetesis
Bits[3:0]
Chn-HA/LA[11:8]
These bits set the MSB nibble for the 12-bit channel n high/low alarm.
For example, the channel 7 high alarm threshold is AFFh when bits[3:0] of the channel 7 HA MSB register (address
22h, page 1) are set to Ah and the channel 7 HA LSB (address 23h, page 1) register setting is FFh.
0000 = MSB nibble is 0h
0001 = MSB nibble is 1h
0010 to 1110 = MSB nibble is 2h to Eh
1111 = MSB nibble is Fh
CHANNEL N HA/LA LSB REGISTER
Bits[7:0]
Chn HA[7:0]
These bits set the LSB byte for the 12-bit channel n high/low alarm.
For example, the channel 2 low alarm threshold is F01h when the channel 2 LA LSB register (address 0Dh, page 1)
setting is 01h and bits[3:0] of the channel 2 LA MSB (address 0Ch, page 1) are set to Fh.
0000 0000 = LSB byte is 0h
0000 0001 = LSB byte is 1h
0000 0010 to 1110 1111 = LSB byte is 02h to EFh
1111 1111 = LSB byte is FFh

REGISTER MAP: ADS8634
The ADS8634 internal registers are mapped in two pages: page 0 and page 1. Page 0 is selected by default at
power-up and after reset. Any register read/write action while on page 0 addresses the page 0 registers. Writing
01h to register address 7Fh selects page 1 for any further register operations.
Page 0 registers are used to select the channel sequencing mode, program the configuration registers, and to
read the alarm flags. Page 1 resisters are used to program the alarm thresholds for each channel and for the
temperature sensor. Table 13 details page 0 and Table 14 details page 1.

PAGE 0 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS (ADS8634)
This section provides bit-by-bit descriptions of each page 0 register. As described earlier, the device registers are
mapped to two pages: page 0 and page 1. Page 0 is selected by default at power-up and after reset. Any
register read/write action while on page 0 addresses the page 0 registers. Writing 01h to register address 7Fh
selects page 1 for any further register operations.
Channel Sequencing Control Registers for the ADS8634
There are two modes for channel sequencing: auto and manual mode. In auto-scan mode, the device
automatically scans the preselected channels in chronological order; a new channel is selected for every
conversion. In manual mode, the channel is selected for the next conversion. In both modes, the preselected
signal range is considered for each channel independently; however, the range can be temporarily overriden.

For example, if the Auto-Md Ch-Sel register is programmed to 01101100 (auto-mode sequence channels 2, 3, 5, 6,
2, 3, 5, 6…2, 3, 5, 6) and, if the auto register bit 7 is programmed to '1' in frame n while channel 3 is sampled, then
the auto-mode sequence counter resets to channel 2 in frame n + 1. This setting means channel 2 is sampled
instead of channel 5 in frame n + 1.

Bit 0
Sel Temp Sensor
This bit selects the temperature sensor for acquisition in the next frame.
This selection overrides channel selection through the auto sequence only for the next frame. The auto sequence
continues from where it was interrupted after the temperature sensing frame.
For example, if the programmed auto sequence is channels 0, 1, 3, 0, 1, 3…0, 1, 3 and, if the temperature sensor
is selected in frame number n while channel 0 is sampled, then the temperature sensor is sampled in frame n + 1.
The auto sequence resumes from frame n + 2 sampling channel 1. Range selection is not applicable for the
temperature sensor.

Continued Operation in the Selected Mode for the ADS8634
Holding the DIN line low continuously (equivalent to writing '0' to all 16 bits) during device operation as per
Figure 85 continues device operation in the last selected mode (auto or manual). The device follows range
selection through the configuration registers (address 10h to 13h). The internal temperature sensor continues to
be read if the temperature sensor was selected during the last auto/manual mode frame.
Configuration Registers for the ADS8634
These registers allow device configuration (such as signal range selection for individual channels, selection of
channels for auto sequence, enabling/disabling of internal reference and temperature sensor, and configuration
of the AL_PD pin as an alarm output or as a power-down input). All of the registers can be reset to the default

Alarm Flag Registers for the ADS8634 (Read-Only)
The alarm conditions related to individual channels are stored in these registers. When an alarm interrupt is
received, the flags can be read on the AL_PD pin. There are two types of flag for every alarm: active and tripped.
An active alarm flag is enabled when an alarm is triggered (when data cross the alarm threshold) and remains
enabled as long as the alarm condition persists. A tripped alarm flag is enabled in the same manner as an active
alarm flag, but it remains latched until it is read. This feature relieves the device from having to track alarms.

There are two alarm thresholds (High and Low) per channel and for each threshold there are two flags. An active
alarm flag is enabled when an alarm is triggered (when data cross the alarm threshold) and remains enabled as
long as the alarm condition persists. A tripped alarm flag is enabled in the same manner as an active alarm flag,
but it remains latched until it is read. Registers addressed 21h to 24h on page 0 store active and tripped alarm
flags for all four channels.

PAGE 1 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS (ADS8634)
This section provides bit-by-bit descriptions of each page 1 register. As described earlier, the device registers are
mapped to two pages: page 0 and page 1. Page 0 is selected by default at power-up and after reset. Page 1 can
be selected by writing 01h to register address 7Fh. After selecting page 1, any register read/write action
addresses page 1 registers after a page 1 selection. Writing 00h to register address 7Fh selects page 0 for any
further register operations.
Alarm Threshold Setting Registers for the ADS8634
The device features high and low alarms individually for the temperature sensor and each of the four channels.
Each alarm threshold is 12-bits wide with 4-bit hysteresis. This 16-bit setting is accomplished with two 8-bit
registers associated with every high/low alarm.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DRIVING ANALOG SIGNAL INPUT
The ADS8634/8 employ a sample-and-hold stage at the input. An 8pF sampling capacitor is connected during
sampling. This configuration results in a glitch at the input terminals of the device at the start of the sample. The
external circuit must be designed in such a way that the input can settle to the required accuracy during the
chosen sampling time. Figure 91 shows a reccomended driving circuit for the analog inputs.

Figure 91. Reccomended Driving Circuit
The 8pF capacitor across the AINx and AINGND terminals decouples the driving op amp from the sampling
glitch. The low-pass filter at the input limits noise bandwidth of the driving op amp. Select the filter bandwidth so
that the full-scale step at the input can settle to the required accuracy during the sampling time. Equation 5,
Equation 6, and Equation 7 are useful for filter component selection.
Sampling Time
Filter Time Constant (tAU) =
Settling Resolution ´ ln(2)
Where:
Settling resolution is the accuracy in LSB to which the input must settle. A typical settling resolution for
the 12-bit device is 13 or 14.
(5)
Filter Time Constant (tAU) = R ´ C
(6)
Filter Bandwidth =
1
2 ´ p ´ tAU
(7)
Also, make sure the driving op amp bandwidth does not limit the signal bandwidth to below the filter bandwidth.
In many applications, signal bandwidth may be much lower than filter bandwidth. In this case, an additional
low-pass filter may be used at the input of the driving op amp. This signal and filter bandwidth can be selected in
accordance with the input signal bandwidth.

POWER MANAGEMENT AT LOWER SPEEDS
There are multiple data acquisition applications that require sampling speeds much lower than 1MSPS. The
ADS8634/8 offer power saving while running at lower speeds. As shown in Figure 92, the ADS8634/8 consume
dynamic power from a CS rising edge until the 16th SCLK falling edge. While using the ADS8634/8 at lower
sampling speeds, it is recommended to use SCLK at the maximum specified frequency. This setting allows the
maximum static period tSTATIC at any given sampling speed. The ADS8634/8 consume considerably lower static
current (current during tSTATIC) from all three power supplies (AVDD, HVDD, and HVSS). This consumption helps
lower the average currents from each of the supplies, resulting in a lower average power consumption while
using the device at lower sampling speeds.

DRIVING ANALOG SIGNAL INPUT WITHOUT AN OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
There are some low input signal bandwidth applications, such as general-purpose programmable logic controllers
(PLCs) I/O, where it is not required to operate an ADC at high sampling rates and it is desirable to avoid using a
dedicated driving op amp from a cost perspective. In this case, the ADC input recognizes the impedance of the
signal source (such as signal conditioning circuit, PGA, or sensor). This section elaborates on the effects of
source impedance on sampling frequency.
Equation 5 can be rewritten as Equation 10:
Sampling Time = Filter Time Constant × Settling Resolution × ln(2)
(10)
As shown in Figure 94, it is recommended to use a bypass capacitor across the positive and negative ADC input
terminals.

The source impedance (RSOURCE + R1) combined with (CBYPASS + CSAMPLE) acts as a low-pass filter with
Equation 11:
Filter Time Constant = (RSOURCE + R1) × (CBYPASS + CSAMPLE)
Where:
CSAMPLE is the internal sampling capacitance of the ADC (equal to 32pF).
(11)
Table 17 lists the recommended bypass capacitor values and the filter-time constant for different source
resistances. It is recommended to use a bypass capacitor with a minimum value of 100pF. Table 17 assumes R1
= 20Ω; however, depending on the application, R1 can be bypassed (by shorting R1) and the extra 20Ω margin
can be used for source resistance.

Typically, the settling resolution is selected as (ADC resolution + 2). For the ADS8634/8 (12-bit), the ideal settling
resolution is 14. Using Equation 6 and Equation 7, the sampling time can be easily determined for a given source
impedance. For source impedances greater than 210Ω, the filter-time constant continues to increase beyond the
25ns required for a 250ns sampling time. This incrementation increases the minimum permissible sampling time
for 12-bit settling and the device must be operated at a lower sampling rate.
The device sampling rate can be maximized by using a 20MHz clock for even lower throughputs. Table 18
shows typical calculations for the ADS8634/8 (12-bit).

A common ground plane for both analog and digital often gives better results. Typically, the second printed circuit
board (PCB) layer is the ground plane. The ADC ground pins are returned to the ground plane through multiple
vias (PTH). It is a good practice to place analog components on one side and digital components on other side of
the ADC (or ADCs). All signals must be routed, assuming there is a split ground plane for analog and digital.
Furthermore, it is better to split the ground initially during layout. Route all analog and digital traces so that the
traces see the respective ground all along the second layer. Then, short both grounds to form a common ground
plane. Figure 97 Figure 98 show the reccomended layout around the ADS8638. The ADS8634 pinout is a subset
of the ADS8638 pinout. It is possible to make a common layout for the ADS8634/8 . Or, one can delete the
traces and components associated with the additional four channels of the ADS8638 to generate the ADS8634
layout.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46C and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48B. Buyers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All
semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time
of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
