Description
Analog Inputs. The AD7298-1 has eight single-ended analog inputs that are multiplexed into the on-chip trackand-hold. Each input channel can accept analog inputs from 0 V to 2.5 V. Any unused input channels should be
connected to GND1 to avoid noise pickup.
Ground. Ground reference point for the internal reference circuitry on the AD7298-1. The external reference
signals and all analog input signals should be referred to the GND1 voltage. The GND1 pin should be connected
to the ground plane of a system. All ground pins should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more
than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. The VREF pin should be decoupled to this ground pin via a 10 µF
decoupling capacitor.
Internal Reference/External Reference Supply. The nominal internal reference voltage of 2.5 V appears at this pin.
Provided the output is buffered, the on-chip reference can be taken from this pin and applied externally to the
rest of a system. Decoupling capacitors should be connected to this pin to decouple the reference buffer. For
best performance, it is recommended to use a 10 µF decoupling capacitor on this pin to GND1. The internal
reference can be disabled and an external reference supplied to this pin, if required. The input voltage range for
the external reference is 2.0 V to 2.5 V.
Decoupling Capacitor Pins. Decoupling capacitors (1 µF recommended) are connected to this pin to decouple
the internal LDO.
Ground. Ground reference point for all analog and digital circuitry on the AD7298-1. The GND pin should be
connected to the ground plane of the system. All ground pins should ideally be at the same potential and must
not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. Both the DCAP and VDD pins should be decoupled to this
GND pin.
Supply Voltage, 2.8 V to 3.6 V. This supply should be decoupled to GND with 10 µF and 100 nF decoupling capacitors.
Chip Select, Active Low Logic Input. This pin is edge triggered on the falling edge of this input, the track-andhold goes into hold mode, and a conversion is initiated. This input also frames the serial data transfer. When CS is
low, the output bus is enabled and the conversion result becomes available on the DOUT output.
No Connect.
Data In, Logic Input. Data to be written to the AD7298-1 control register is provided on this input and is clocked
into the register on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Data Output. The conversion result from the AD7298-1 is provided on this output as a serial data stream.
The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data stream from the AD7298-1 consists of
four address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 10 bits of
conversion data (MSB first).
Serial Clock, Logic Input. A serial clock input provides the SCLK for accessing the data from the AD7298-1.

Description
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines the voltage at which the interface
operates. This pin should be decoupled to ground. The voltage range on this pin is 1.65 V to 3.6 V and may be less
than the voltage at VDD but should never exceed it by more than 0.3 V.
Power-Down Pin. This pin places the part into full power-down mode and enables power conservation when operation
is not required. This pin can be used to reset the device by toggling the pin low for a minimum of 1 ns and a maximum
of 100 ns. If the maximum time is exceeded, the part enters power-down mode. When placing the AD7298-1 into full
power-down mode, the analog inputs must return to 0 V.
The exposed metal paddle on the bottom of the LFCSP package should be soldered to PCB ground for proper
functionality and heat dissipation.

TERMINOLOGY
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
The measured ratio of signal-to-noise and distortion at the
output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the
fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is
dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization
process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The
theoretical signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio for an ideal Nbit converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Thus, the SINAD is 61.96 dB for an ideal 10-bit converter.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For
the AD7298-1, it is defined as
THD (dB) = 20 log
Differential Nonlinearity
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Offset Error
The deviation of the first code transition (00…000) to
(00…001) from the ideal—that is, GND1 + 1 LSB.
Offset Error Matching
The difference in offset error between any two channels.
Gain Error
The deviation of the last code transition (111…110) to
(111…111) from the ideal (that is, VREF − 1 LSB) after the offset
error has been adjusted out.
Gain Error Matching
The difference in gain error between any two channels.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end
of the conversion. The track-and-hold acquisition time is the
time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to
reach its final value, within ±1 LSB, after the end of the conversion.
V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2
V1
where:
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second
through sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The ratio of the rms value of the next largest component in the
ADC output spectrum (up to fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms
value of the fundamental. Typically, the value of this specification
is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for
ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it is a
noise peak.
Integral Nonlinearity
The maximum deviation from a straight line passing through
the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints are
zero scale, a point 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full
scale, a point 1 LSB above the last code transition.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at
full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV p-p sine wave
applied to the ADC VDD supply of frequency, fS. The frequency
of the input varies from 5 kHz to 25 MHz.
PSRR (dB) = 10 log(Pf/PfS)
where:
Pf is the power at frequency, f, in the ADC output.
PfS is the power at frequency, fS, in the ADC output.

AD7298-1
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7298-1 is a high speed, 8-channel, 10-bit ADC. The part
can be operated from a 2.8 V to 3.6 V supply and is capable of
throughput rates of 1 MSPS per analog input channel.
The AD7298-1 provides flexible power management options to
allow the user to achieve the best power performance for a given
throughput rate. These options are selected by programming
the partial power-down bit, PPD, in the control register and
using the PD/RST pin.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7298-1 is a 10-bit successive approximation ADC based
around a capacitive DAC. Figure 19 and Figure 20 show simplified
schematics of the ADC. The ADC is comprised of control logic,
SAR, and a capacitive DAC that are used to add and subtract
fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring
the comparator back into a balanced condition. Figure 19 shows
the ADC during its acquisition phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is
in Position A. The comparator is held in a balanced condition
and the sampling capacitor acquires the signal on the selected
VIN channel.

When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 20), SW2 opens

add and subtract fixed amounts of charge to bring the comparator
back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is
rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic
generates the ADC output code. Figure 22 shows the transfer

ANALOG INPUT
Figure 21 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure
of the AD7298-1. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD
protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure
that the analog input signal never exceeds the internally generated
LDO voltage of 2.5 V (DCAP) by more than 300 mV. This causes
the diodes to become forward-biased and to start conducting
current into the substrate. The maximum current these diodes
can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part is
10 mA. Capacitor C1, in Figure 21, is typically about 8 pF and
can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The R1 resistor is
a lumped component made up of the on resistance of a switch
(track-and-hold switch) and includes the on resistance of the
input multiplexer. The total resistance is typically about 155 Ω.
The capacitor, C2, is the ADC sampling capacitor and has a
capacitance of 34 pF typically.

The AD7298-1 provides the user with an on-chip, track-and-hold
ADC and a serial interface housed in a 20-lead LFCSP. The
AD7298-1 has eight, single-ended input channels with channel
repeat functionality, which allows the user to select a channel
sequence through which the ADC can cycle with each consecutive
CS falling edge. The serial clock input accesses data from the
part, controls the transfer of data written to the ADC, and
provides the clock source for the successive approximation
ADC. The analog input range for the AD7928-1 is 0 V to VREF.
The AD7298-1 operates with one cycle latency, which means
that the conversion result is available in the serial transfer
following the cycle in which the conversion is performed.

DAC
Figure 21. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
For ac applications, removing high frequency components from
the analog input signal is recommended by using an RC low-pass
filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where
harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratios are critical, the
analog input should be driven from a low impedance source. Large
source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the
ADC. This may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.
The choice of the op amp is a function of the particular application
performance criteria.

ADC Transfer Function
The output coding of the AD7298-1 is straight binary for the
analog input channel conversion results. The designed code
transitions occur at successive LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs,
and so forth). The LSB size is VREF/1024 for the AD7298-1. The
ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7298-1 for straight binary
coding is shown in Figure 22.

VDRIVE
The AD7298-1 also provides the VDRIVE feature. VDRIVE controls
the voltage at which the serial interface operates. VDRIVE allows
the ADC to easily interface to both 1.8 V and 3 V processors.
For example, if the AD7298-1 were operated with a VDD of
3.3 V, the VDRIVE pin could be powered from a 1.8 V supply.
This enables the AD7298-1 to operate with a larger dynamic
range with a VDD of 3.3 V while still being able to interface to
1.8 V processors. Take care to ensure VDRIVE does not exceed
VDD by more than 0.3 V (see the Absolute Maximum Ratings
section).
THE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL REFERENCE
The AD7298-1 can operate with either the internal 2.5 V on-chip
reference or an externally applied reference. The EXT_REF bit
in the control register is used to determine whether the internal
reference is used. If the EXT_REF bit is selected in the control
register, an external reference can be supplied through the VREF
pin. At power-up, the internal reference is enabled. Suitable
external reference sources for the AD7298-1 include AD780,
AD1582, ADR431, REF193, and ADR391.
The internal reference circuitry consists of a 2.5 V band gap
reference and a reference buffer. When the AD7298-1 is operated
in internal reference mode, the 2.5 V internal reference is
available at the VREF pin, which should be decoupled to GND1
using a 10 µF capacitor. It is recommended that the internal
reference be buffered before applying it elsewhere in the system.
The internal reference is capable of sourcing up to 2 mA of current
when the converter is static. The reference buffer requires 5.5 ms to
power up and charge the 10 µF decoupling capacitor during the
power-up time.

CONTROL REGISTER
16 serial clocks for every data transfer. Only the information
provided on the first 16 falling clock edges (after the falling
edge of CS) is loaded to the control register. MSB denotes the
first bit in the data stream. The bit functions are outlined in
Table 6 and Table 7. At power-up, the default content of the
control register is all zeros.
The control register of the AD7298-1 is a 16-bit, write-only
register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7298-1 on
the falling edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN
line at the same time that the conversion result is read from the
part. The data transferred on the DIN line corresponds to the
AD7298-1 configuration for the next conversion. This requires

Description
The value written to this bit determines whether the subsequent 15 bits are loaded to the control register. If this
bit is a 1, the following 15 bits are written to the control register. If this bit is a 0, then the remaining 15 bits are not
loaded to the control register, and it remains unchanged.
This bit enables the repeated conversion of the selected sequence of channels.
These eight channel selection bits are loaded at the end of the current conversion and select which analog input
channel is to be converted in the next serial transfer, or they can select the sequence of channels for conversion in
the subsequent serial transfers. Each CHx bit corresponds to an analog input channel. A channel or sequence of
channels is selected for conversion by writing a 1 to the appropriate CHx bit/bits. Channel address bits
corresponding to the conversion result are output on DOUT prior to the 10 bits of data. The next channel to be
converted is selected by the mux on the 14th SCLK falling edge.
Zero should be written to this bit.
Don’t care.
Writing Logic 1 to this bit, enables the use of an external reference. The input voltage range for the external
reference is 1 V to 2.5 V. The external reference should not exceed 2.5 V or the device performance is affected.
This partial power-down mode is selected by writing a 1 to this bit in the control register. In this mode, some of
the internal analog circuitry is powered down. The AD7298-1 retains the information in the control register while
in partial power-down mode. The part remains in this mode until a 0 is written to this bit.

MODES OF OPERATION
subsequent (second) CS falling edge; and the third CS falling edge
will have the result (VIN2) available for reading. The AD7298-1
operates with one cycle latency, therefore the conversion result
corresponding to each conversion is available one serial read
cycle after the cycle in which the conversion was initiated.
The AD7298-1 offers different modes of operation that are
designed to provide additional flexibility for the user. These
options can be chosen by programming the content of the
control register to select the desired mode.
TRADITIONAL MULTICHANNEL MODE OF
OPERATION
The AD7298-1 can operate as a traditional multichannel ADC,
where each serial transfer selects the next channel for conversion.
One must write to the control register to configure and select
the desired input channel prior to initiating any conversions. In
the traditional mode of operation, the CS signal is used to frame
the first write to the converter on the DIN pin. In this mode of
operation, the REPEAT bit in the control register is set to a low
logic level (0), therefore the REPEAT function is not in use. The
data, which appears on the DOUT pin during the initial write to
the control register, is invalid. The first CS falling edge initiates a
write to the control register to configure the device; a conversion is
then initiated for the selected analog input channel (VIN0) on the
As the device operates with one cycle latency, the control
register configuration sets up the configuration for the next
conversion, which is initiated on the next CS falling edge, but
the first bit of the corresponding result is not clocked out until
the subsequent falling CS edge, as shown in Figure 23.
If more than one channel is selected in the control register, the
AD7298-1 converts all selected channels sequentially in ascending
order on successive CS falling edges. Once all the selected channels
in the control register are converted, the AD7298-1 ceases converting
until the user rewrites to the control register to select the next
channel for conversion. This operation is shown in Figure 24.
DOUT returns all 1s if the sequence of conversions is completed or
if no channel is selected.

REPEAT OPERATION
The REPEAT bit in the control register allows the user to select
a sequence of channels on which the AD7298-1 continuously
converts. When the REPEAT bit is set in the control register, the
AD7298-1 continuously cycles through the selected channels in
ascending order, beginning with the lowest channel and converting
all channels selected in the control register. On completion of
the sequence, the AD7298-1 returns to the first selected channel
in the control register and recommences the sequence.
The conversion sequence of the selected channels in the repeat
mode of operation continues until the control register of the
AD7298-1 is reprogrammed. It is not necessary to write to the
control register once a repeat operation is initiated unless a change
in the AD7298-1 configuration is required. The WRITE bit
must be set to zero, or the DIN line tied low to ensure that the
control register is not accidentally overwritten or the automatic
conversion sequence interrupted.
A write to the control register during the repeat mode of operation
resets the cycle even if the selected channels are unchanged.
Thus, the next conversion by the AD7298-1 after a write
operation will be the first selected channel in the sequence.
To select a sequence of channels, the associated channel bit
must be set to a logic high state (1) for each analog input whose
conversion is required. For example, if the REPEAT bit = 1, then
CH0, CH1, and CH2 = 1. The VIN0 analog input is converted on
the first CS falling edge following the write to the control register,
the VIN1 channel is converted on the subsequent CS falling edge,
and the VIN0 conversion result is available for reading. The third
CS falling edge following the write operation initiates a conversion
on VIN2 and has the VIN1 result available for reading. The AD7298-1
operates with one cycle latency, therefore the conversion result
corresponding to each conversion is available one serial read
cycle after the cycle in which the conversion is initiated.
This mode of operation simplifies the operation of the device by
allowing consecutive channels to be converted without having
to reprogram the control register or write to the part on each
serial transfer. Figure 25 illustrates how to set up the AD7298-1
to continuously convert on a particular sequence of channels.
To exit the repeat mode of operation and revert to the traditional
mode of operation of a multichannel ADC, ensure that the
REPEAT bit = 0 on the next serial write.

AD7298-1
POWER-DOWN MODES
Partial Power-Down Mode
The AD7298-1 has a number of power conservation modes of
operation that are designed to provide flexible power management
options. These options can be chosen to optimize the power
dissipation/throughput rate ratio for different application
requirements. The power-down modes of operation of the
AD7298-1 are controlled by the power-down (PPD) bit in the
control register and the PD/RST pin on the device. When power
supplies are first applied to the AD7298-1, care should be taken
to ensure that the part is placed in the required mode of operation.
In this mode, part of the internal circuitry on the AD7298-1
is powered down. The AD7298-1 enters partial power-down
on the CS rising edge once the current serial write operation
containing 16 SCLK clock cycles is completed. To enter partial
power-down, the PPD bit in the control register should be set to
1 on the last required read transfer from the AD7298-1. Once in
partial power-down mode, the AD7298-1 transmits all 1s on the
DOUT pin if CS is toggled low.
Normal Mode
Normal mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate
performance because the user does not have to be concerned
about any power-up times since the AD7298-1 remains fully
powered on at all times. Figure 26 shows the general diagram
of the normal mode operation of the AD7298-1. The conversion
is initiated on the falling edge of CS and the track-and-hold enters
hold mode. On the 14th SCLK falling edge, the track-and-hold
returns to track mode and starts acquiring the analog input, as
described in the Serial Interface section. The data presented to
the AD7298-1 on the DIN line during the first 16 clock cycles of
the data transfer are loaded into the control register (provided the
WRITE bit is 1). The part remains fully powered up in normal
mode at the end of the conversion as long as the PPD bit is set
to 0 in the write transfer during that conversion.
To ensure continued operation in normal mode, the PPD bit
should be loaded with 0 on every data write operation. Sixteen
serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and
access the conversion result. For specified performance, the
throughput rate should not exceed 1 MSPS. When a conversion
is complete and the CS has returned high, a minimum of the quiet
time, tQUIET, must elapse before bringing CS low again to initiate
another conversion and access the previous conversion result.

POWER DOWN
Because the AD7298-1 has one cycle latency, the first conversion
result after exiting partial power-down mode is available in the
fourth serial transfer, as shown in Figure 27. The first cycle updates
the PPD bit, the second cycle updates the configuration and
Channel ID bits, the third completes the conversion, and the
fourth accesses the DOUT valid result. The use of this mode
enables a reduction in the overall power consumption of the device.
Full Power-Down Mode
In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7298-1 is powered
down, and no information is retained in the control register or any
other internal register.
The AD7298-1 is placed into full power-down mode by bringing
the logic level on the PD/RST pin low for greater than 100 ns.
When placing the AD7298-1 in full power-down mode, the ADC
inputs must return to 0 V. The PD/RST pin is asynchronous to the
clock; therefore, it can be triggered at any time. The part can be
powered up for normal operation by bringing the PD/RST pin
logic level back to a high logic state.
The full power-down feature can be used to reduce the average
power consumed by the AD7298-1 when operating at lower
throughput rates. The user should ensure that tPOWER-UP has
elapsed prior to programming the control register and initiating
a valid conversion.

POWERING UP THE AD7298-1
RESET
The AD7298-1 contains a power-on reset circuit that sets the
control register to its default setting of all zeros; therefore, the
internal reference is enabled and the device is configured for the
normal mode of operation. At power-up, the internal reference is
by default enabled, which takes up to 6 ms (maximum) to power up.
The AD7298-1 includes a reset feature that can be used to reset
the device and the contents of all internal registers, including
the control register, to their default state.
If an external reference is being used, the user does not need to
wait for the internal reference to power up fully. The AD7298-1
digital interface is fully functional after 500 µs from the initial
power-up. Therefore, the user can write to the control register
after 500 µs to switch to external reference mode. The AD7298-1 is
then immediately ready to convert once the external reference is
available on the VREF pin.
To activate the reset operation, the PD/RST pin should be brought
low for no longer than 100 ns. It is asynchronous with the clock;
therefore, it can be triggered at any time. If the PD/RST pin is
held low for greater than 100 ns, the part enters full power-down
mode. It is imperative that the PD/RST pin be held at a stable
logic level at all times to ensure normal operation.
When supplies are first applied to the AD7298-1, the user must
wait the specified 500 µs before programming the control register
to select the desired channels for conversion.

When CS goes low, it provides the first address bit to be read in
by the microcontroller or DSP. The remaining data is then clocked
out by subsequent SCLK falling edges, beginning with a second
address bit. Thus, the first falling clock edge on the serial clock
has the first address bit provided for reading and also clocks out
the second address bit. The three remaining address bits and 12
data bits are clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling edges. The
final bit in the data transfer is valid for reading on the 16th falling
edge having been clocked out on the previous (15th) falling edge.
Figure 28 shows the detailed timing diagram for the serial interface
to the AD7298-1. The serial clock provides the conversion clock
and controls the transfer of information to and from the AD7298-1
during each conversion.
The CS signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process.
The falling edge of CS puts the track-and-hold into hold mode
at which point the analog input is sampled and the bus is taken
out of three-state. The conversion is also initiated at this point
and requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. The track-and-hold
goes back into track mode on the 14th SCLK falling edge as shown
in Figure 28 at Point B. On the 16th SCLK falling edge or on the
rising edge of CS, the DOUT line goes back into three-state.
In applications with a slower SCLK, it may be possible to read in
data on each SCLK rising edge depending on the SCLK frequency.
The first rising edge of SCLK after the CS falling edge would
have the first address bit provided, and the 15th rising SCLK
edge would have last data bit provided.
If the rising edge of CS occurs before 16 SCLKs have elapsed,
the conversion is terminated, the DOUT line goes back into
three-state, and the control register is not updated; otherwise,
DOUT returns to three-state on the 16th SCLK falling edge.
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion
process and to access data from the AD7298-1.
Writing information to the control register takes place on the
first 16 falling edges of SCLK in a data transfer, assuming the
MSB (that is, the WRITE bit) has been set to 1. The 16-bit word
read from the AD7298-1 always contains four channel address
bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the
12-bit conversion result.
For the AD7298-1, four channel address bits (ADD3 to ADD0)
that identify which channel the conversion result corresponds
to, precede the 10 bits of data (see Table 8).

LAYOUT AND CONFIGURATION
For optimum performance, carefully consider the power supply
and ground return layout on any PCB where the AD7298-1 is
used. The PCB containing the AD7298-1 should have separate
analog and digital sections, each having its own area of the board.
The AD7298-1 should be located in the analog section on any PCB.
Decouple the power supply to the AD7298-1 to ground with
10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors. Place the capacitors as physically
close as possible to the device, with the 0.1 µF capacitor ideally
right up against the device. It is important that the 0.1 µF
capacitor has low effective series resistance (ESR) and low
effective series inductance (ESL); common ceramic types of
capacitors are suitable. The 0.1 µF capacitors provide a low
impedance path to ground for high frequencies caused by
transient currents due to internal logic switching. The 10 µF
capacitors are the tantalum bead type.
The power supply line should have as large a trace as possible to
provide a low impedance path and reduce glitch effects on the
supply line. Shield clocks and other components with fast switching
digital signals from other parts of the board by a digital ground.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals, if possible. When
traces cross on opposite sides of the board, ensure that they run
at right angles to each other to reduce feedthrough effects on
the board.
The best board layout technique is the microstrip technique where
the component side of the board is dedicated to the ground
plane only, and the signal traces are placed on the solder side;
however, this is not always possible with a 2-layer board.
