GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are, respectively, 8-bit, 10-bit, and
12-bit, high speed, low power, 4-channel successive approximation ADCs. The parts operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V
power supply and feature throughput rates up to 1 MSPS. The
parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold
amplifier that can handle input frequencies in excess of 8 MHz.
1.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using
CS and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled
on the falling edge of CS and conversion is initiated at this
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 use advanced design techniques
to achieve very low power dissipation at maximum throughput
rates. At maximum throughput rates, the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 consume 2 mA maximum with 3 V supplies; with 5 V
supplies, the current consumption is 2.7 mA maximum.
Through the configuration of the control register, the analog
input range for the part can be selected as 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to
2 × REFIN, with either straight binary or twos complement output
coding. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 each feature four singleended analog inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a preprogrammed selection of channels to be converted sequentially.
The conversion time for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is
determined by the SCLK frequency, which is also used as the
master clock to control the conversion.

High Throughput with Low Power Consumption.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 offer throughput rates
up to 1 MSPS. At the maximum throughput rate with 3 V
supplies, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 dissipate only
6 mW of power maximum.
Four Single-Ended Inputs with Channel Sequencer.
A consecutive sequence of channels can be selected,
through which the ADC will cycle and convert on.
Single-Supply Operation with VDRIVE Function.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 operate from a single 2.7 V
to 5.25 V supply. The VDRIVE function allows the serial interface to connect directly to 3 V or 5 V processor systems,
independent of VDD.
Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management.
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock,
allowing the conversion time to be reduced by increasing
the serial clock speed. The parts also feature two shutdown
modes to maximize power efficiency at lower throughput
rates. Current consumption is 0.5 µA maximum when in
full shutdown.
No Pipeline Delay.
The parts feature a standard successive approximation
ADC with accurate control of the sampling instant via
the CS input and once-off conversion control.

Sample tested @ 25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of AVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V (see Figure 2).
The 3 V operating range spans from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The 5 V operating range spans from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.

Mark/space ratio for the SCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40.

Measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.4 V or 0.7 × VDRIVE.
4
t8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then extrapolated
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t8, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish
time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

Function
Serial Clock, Logic Input. SCLK provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part. This clock input is also
used as the clock source for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 conversion process.
Data In, Logic Input. Data to be written to the control register of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is provided on
this input and is clocked into the register on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Control Register section).
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 and frames the serial data transfer.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. All analog
input signals and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. All AGND pins should
be connected together.
Analog Power Supply Input. The AVDD range for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. For the 0 V
to 2 × REFIN range, AVDD should be from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
Reference Input for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. An external reference must be applied to this input. The
voltage range for the external reference is 2.5 V ± 1% for specified performance.
Analog Input 0 through Analog Input 3. The four single-ended analog input channels are multiplexed into the
on-chip track-and-hold. The analog input channel to be converted is selected using the address bits ADD1 and
ADD0 of the control register. The address bits, in conjunction with the SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits, allow the sequencer
to be programmed. The input range for all input channels can extend from 0 V to REFIN or from 0 V to 2 × REFIN
as selected via the RANGE bit in the control register. Any unused input channels should be connected to AGND
to avoid noise pickup.
Data Out, Logic Output. The conversion result from the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 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
AD7904 consists of two leading zeros, two address bits indicating which channel the conversion result
corresponds to, followed by the eight bits of conversion data, followed by four trailing zeros, provided MSB first.
The data stream from the AD7914 consists of two leading zeros, two address bits indicating which channel the
conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 10 bits of conversion data, followed by two trailing zeros,
provided MSB first. The data stream from the AD7924 consists of two leading zeros, two address bits indicating
which channel the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of conversion data, provided MSB
first. The output coding can be selected as straight binary or twos complement via the CODING bit in the
control register.
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines the voltage at which the serial interface
of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 operates.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through
the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints of the
transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB below the first code
transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB above the last code transition.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
DNL is the difference between the measured and the ideal
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Offset Error
Offset error is the deviation of the first code transition (00 … 000
to 00 … 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.
Offset Error Match
Offset error match is the difference in offset error between any
two channels.
Gain Error
Gain error is the deviation of the last code transition (111 … 110
to 111 … 111) from the ideal, that is, REFIN − 1 LSB, after the
offset error has been adjusted out.
Gain Error Match
Gain error match is the difference in gain error between any
two channels.
Zero Code Error
Zero code error is the deviation of the midscale transition (all
0s to all 1s) from the ideal VIN voltage, that is, REFIN − 1 LSB. It
applies when using the twos complement output coding option
with the 2 × REFIN input range (−REFIN to +REFIN biased about
the REFIN point).
Zero Code Error Match
Zero code error match is the difference in zero code error
between any two channels.
Positive Gain Error
Positive gain error is the deviation of the last code transition
(011 … 110 to 011 … 111) from the ideal, that is, +REFIN − 1 LSB,
after the zero code error is adjusted out. It applies when using
the twos complement output coding option with the 2 × REFIN
input range (−REFIN to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point).
Positive Gain Error Match
Positive gain error match is the difference in positive gain error
between any two channels.
Negative Gain Error
Negative gain error is the deviation of the first code transition
(100 … 000 to 100 … 001) from the ideal, that is, −REFIN + 1 LSB,
after the zero code error is adjusted out. It applies when using
the twos complement output coding option with the 2 × REFIN
input range (−REFIN to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point).
Negative Gain Error Match
Negative gain error match is the difference in negative gain
error between any two channels.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale
400 kHz sine wave signal to all three nonselected input channels
and determining how much that signal is attenuated in the
selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. The figure is given worst
case across all four channels for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but not
the linearity of the converter. PSR is the maximum change in
the full-scale transition point due to a change in power supply
voltage from the nominal value (see Figure 6).
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR is the ratio of the power in the ADC output at full-scale
frequency, f, to the power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave applied to
the ADC AVDD supply of frequency fS.
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 coupled onto the ADC AVDD supply.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end
of a conversion. 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 a conversion.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) (SINAD) Ratio
SINAD is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + 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 SINAD ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a
sine wave input is given by
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N +1.76) dB
Thus, for a 12-bit converter, SINAD is 74 dB, for a 10-bit
converter, it is 62 dB, and for an 8-bit converter, it is 50 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924, it is defined as
THD(dB) = 20 log
V2 2 + V3 2 + V 4 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 the sixth harmonics.

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
CONTROL REGISTER
The control register of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is a
12-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of
the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 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 AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
configuration for the next conversion. This requires 16 serial
clocks for every data transfer. Only the information provided
on the first 12 falling clock edges (after the CS falling edge) is
loaded to the control register. MSB denotes the first bit in the
data stream. The bit functions are outlined in Table 8.

Description
The value written to this bit determines whether the following 11 bits will be loaded to the control register. If this bit
is set to 1, the following 11 bits will be written to the control register; if this bit is set to 0, the remaining 11 bits are not
loaded to the control register, which remains unchanged.
The SEQ1 bit is used in conjunction with the SEQ0 bit to control the use of the sequencer function (see Table 10).
Don’t care bits.
The two address bits are loaded at the end of the present conversion sequence and select which analog input
channel is to be converted in the next serial transfer, or they may select the final channel in a consecutive sequence
as described in Table 10. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 7. The address bits corresponding
to the conversion result are also output on DOUT prior to the 12 bits of data (see the Serial Interface section). The next
channel to be converted on will be selected by the mux on the 14th SCLK falling edge.
The two power management bits decode the mode of operation of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 as described in
Table 9.
The SEQ0 bit is used in conjunction with the SEQ1 bit to control the use of the sequencer function (see Table 10).
Don’t care bit.
This bit selects the analog input range to be used on the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. If it is set to 0, the analog input
range will extend from 0 V to 2 × REFIN. If it is set to 1, the analog input range will extend from 0 V to REFIN (for the next
conversion). For the 0 V to 2 × REFIN input range, VDD = 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
This bit selects the type of output coding that the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 will use for the conversion result. If this
bit is set to 0, the output coding for the part will be twos complement. If this bit is set to 1, the output coding from
the part will be straight binary (for the next conversion).

Description
In normal operation mode, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 remain in full power mode regardless of
the status of any of the logic inputs. This mode allows the fastest possible throughput rate from the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
In full shutdown mode, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are in full shutdown with all circuitry on the
device powering down. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 retain the information in the control register
while in full shutdown. The part remains in full shutdown until these bits are changed.
In auto shutdown mode, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 automatically enter full shutdown mode at the
end of each conversion when the control register is updated. Wake-up time from full shutdown is 1 μs;
the user should ensure that 1 μs has elapsed before attempting to perform a valid conversion on the
part in this mode.

SEQUENCER OPERATION
The SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits in the control register allow the user to
select a mode of operation for the sequencer function. Table 10
outlines the three modes of operation of the sequencer.
Figure 11 shows the traditional operation of a multichannel
ADC, where each serial transfer selects the next channel for
conversion. In this mode of operation, the sequencer function
is not used.
Figure 12 shows how to program the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
to continuously convert on a sequence of consecutive channels
from Channel 0 to a selected final channel. To exit this mode of
operation and revert to the traditional mode of operation of a
multichannel ADC (as shown in Figure 11), ensure that the
WRITE bit = 1 and SEQ1 = SEQ0 = 0 on the next serial transfer.

Description
The sequencer function is not used. The analog input channel selected for each individual
conversion is determined by the contents of the channel address bits, ADD1 and ADD0, in each
previous write operation. This mode of operation reflects the traditional operation of a multichannel ADC, without using the sequencer function, where each write to the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 selects the next channel for conversion (see Figure 11).
The sequencer function is not interrupted upon completion of the write operation. This configuration allows other bits in the control register to be altered between conversions while in a
sequence without terminating the cycle.
This configuration is used in conjunction with the channel address bits, ADD1 and ADD0, to
program continuous conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels from Channel 0 to a
selected final channel that is specified by the channel address bits in the control register (see
Figure 12).

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 provide the user with an on-chip
track-and-hold ADC and serial interface housed in a 16-lead
TSSOP package. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 each have four
single-ended input channels with a channel sequencer, allowing
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 AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 is 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN, depending on
the status of Bit 1 in the control register. For the 0 V to 2 × REFIN
range, the part must be operated from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 provide 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 power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the
control register.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are 8-, 10-, and 12-bit SAR ADCs,
respectively, based around a capacitive DAC. The AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 can convert analog input signals in the range
of 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN. Figure 13 and Figure 14
show simplified schematics of the ADC. The AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 include control logic, the SAR ADC, and a capacitive
DAC, which are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge
from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into
a balanced condition. Figure 13 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.

Analog Input
Figure 15 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure
of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. 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
supply rails by more than 200 mV. This will cause these diodes
to become forward-biased and start conducting current into the
substrate. The maximum current that these diodes can conduct
without causing irreversible damage to the part is 10 mA.
Capacitor C1 in Figure 15 is typically about 4 pF and can primarily
be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor, R1, is a lumped
component made up of the on resistance of a track-and-hold
switch and the on resistance of the input multiplexer. The total
resistance is typically about 400 Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC
sampling capacitor and has a capacitance of 30 pF typically.
For ac applications, removing high frequency components from
the analog input signal is recommended by use of a low-pass RC
filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where
harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio 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.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source
impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic distortion
(THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as the source
impedance increases, and performance will degrade (see Figure 8).

ADC CODE
The output coding of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is either
straight binary or twos complement, depending on the status of
the LSB in the control register. The designed code transitions
occur at successive LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on).
For the 0 V to REFIN input range, the LSB size is REFIN/256 for
the AD7904, REFIN/1024 for the AD7914, and REFIN/4096 for
the AD7924. For the 0 V to 2 × REFIN input range, the LSB size
is 2 × REFIN/256 for the AD7904, 2 × REFIN/1024 for the AD7914,
and 2 × REFIN/4096 for the AD7924. The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 when straight binary
coding is selected is shown in Figure 16; the ideal transfer
characteristic for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 when twos
complement coding is selected is shown in Figure 17.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Analog Input Selection
Figure 19 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924. In this setup, the AGND pin is connected to
the analog ground plane of the system. In Figure 19, the REFIN
pin is connected to a decoupled 2.5 V supply from a reference
source, the AD780, to provide an analog input range of 0 V to
2.5 V (if the RANGE bit is set to 1) or 0 V to 5 V (if the RANGE
bit is set to 0).
Any one of four analog input channels can be selected for
conversion by programming the multiplexer with the address
bits ADD1 and ADD0 in the control register. The channel
configurations are shown in Table 7.
Although the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are connected to a VDD
of 5 V, the serial interface is connected to a 3 V microprocessor.
The VDRIVE pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is connected to
the same 3 V supply as the microprocessor to allow a 3 V logic
interface (see the Digital Inputs section). The conversion result
is output in a 16-bit word. This 16-bit data stream consists of
two leading zeros, two address bits indicating which channel the
conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of
conversion data for the AD7924 (10 bits of data for the AD7914
and 8 bits of data for the AD7904, each followed by two and
four trailing zeros, respectively). For applications where power
consumption is of concern, the power-down modes should be
used between conversions or bursts of several conversions to
improve power performance (see the Modes of Operation
section).

The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 can also be configured to automatically cycle through a number of selected channels. The
sequencer feature is accessed via the SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits in the
control register (see Table 10). The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
can be programmed to continuously convert on a number of
consecutive channels in ascending order from Channel 0 to a
selected final channel as determined by the channel address
bits, ADD1 and ADD0. This is possible if the SEQ1 and SEQ0
bits are set to 11. The next serial transfer will then act on the
sequence programmed by executing a conversion on Channel 0.
The next serial transfer will result in a conversion on Channel 1,
and so on, until the channel selected via the address bits, ADD1
and ADD0, is reached.
It is not necessary to write to the control register again after a
sequence operation has been initiated. To ensure that the control
register is not accidently overwritten or the sequence operation
interrupted, the WRITE bit must be set to 0 or the DIN line
must be tied low. If the control register is written to at any time
during the sequence, the SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits must be set to 10
to avoid interrupting the automatic conversion sequence. This
pattern continues until the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are
written to and the SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits are configured with a bit
combination other than 10, resulting in the termination of the
sequence. If the sequence is uninterrupted (WRITE bit = 0, or
WRITE bit = 1 and SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits are set to 10), then upon
completion of the sequence, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
sequencer returns to Channel 0 and restarts the sequence.
Regardless of the channel selection method used, the 16-bit
word output from the AD7924 during each conversion always
contains two leading zeros, two channel address bits that the
conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12-bit conversion result; the AD7914 outputs two leading zeros, two
channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to,
followed by the 10-bit conversion result and two trailing zeros;
the AD7904 outputs two leading zeros, two channel address bits
that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 8-bit
conversion result and four trailing zeros (see the Serial Interface
section).

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
Digital Inputs
The digital inputs applied to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 can
go to 7 V and are not restricted by the AVDD + 0.3 V limit on the
analog inputs.
Because the SCLK, DIN, and CS inputs are not restricted by the
AVDD + 0.3 V limit, power supply sequencing issues are avoided.
If CS, DIN, or SCLK is applied before AVDD, there is no risk of
latch-up as there would be on the analog inputs if a signal
greater than 0.3 V is applied prior to AVDD.
VDRIVE
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 also include the VDRIVE feature.
VDRIVE controls the voltage at which the serial interface operates.
VDRIVE allows the ADC to easily interface to both 3 V and 5 V
processors. For example, if the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are
operated with a VDD of 5 V, the VDRIVE pin can be powered
from a 3 V supply. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 have better
dynamic performance with a VDD of 5 V while still being able to
interface to 3 V processors. Care should be taken to ensure that
VDRIVE does not exceed AVDD by more than 0.3 V (see the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section).
Reference
An external reference source should be used to supply the 2.5 V
reference to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. Errors in the reference source result in gain errors in the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 transfer function and add to the specified full-scale
errors of the part. A capacitor of at least 0.1 µF should be placed
on the REFIN pin. Suitable reference sources for the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 include the AD780, REF193, and AD1582.
If 2.5 V is applied to the REFIN pin, the analog input range can
be either 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, depending on the setting of
the RANGE bit in the control register.

MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 have three modes of operation.
These modes are designed to provide flexible power management
options. These options can be chosen to optimize the power
dissipation/throughput rate ratio for differing application requirements. The mode of operation of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
is controlled by the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in
the control register (see Table 9). When power supplies are first
applied to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924, care should be taken to
ensure that the part is placed in the required mode of operation
(see the Powering Up the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 section).
NORMAL MODE (PM1 = PM0 = 1)
Normal mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance. Because the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 remain fully
powered up at all times, the user does not need to worry about
power-up times. Figure 20 shows the general diagram of the
operation of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 in this mode.

DOUT
Figure 20. Normal Mode Operation
The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS; the trackand-hold enters hold mode as described in the Serial Interface
section. The data presented to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
on the DIN line during the first 12 clock cycles of the data
transfer is loaded into the control register (provided that the
WRITE bit is set to 1). In normal mode, the part remains fully
powered up at the end of the conversion as long as the PM1 and
PM0 bits are set to 1 in the write transfer during that same
conversion. To ensure continued operation in normal mode,
PM1 and PM0 must both be set to 1 on every data transfer,
assuming that a write operation is taking place. If the WRITE
bit is set to 0, the power management bits are left unchanged,
and the part remains in normal mode.
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion
and to access the conversion result. The track-and-hold returns
to track mode on the 14th SCLK falling edge. CS may then idle
high until the next conversion or it may idle low until some
time prior to the next conversion (effectively idling CS low).
When a data transfer is complete (DOUT has returned to threestate), another conversion can be initiated after the quiet time,
tQUIET, has elapsed by bringing CS low again.
FULL SHUTDOWN MODE (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)
In full shutdown mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 is powered down. The part retains information
in the control register during full shutdown. The AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 remain in full shutdown until the power management
bits in the control register, PM1 and PM0, are changed.
If a write to the control register occurs while the part is in full
shutdown, and the power management bits are changed to
PM0 = PM1 = 1 (that is, normal mode), the part will begin to
power up on the CS rising edge. The track-and-hold, which was
in hold mode while the part was in full shutdown, returns to
track mode on the 14th SCLK falling edge.
To ensure that the part is fully powered up, tPOWER-UP (t12) should
have elapsed before the next CS falling edge. Figure 21 shows
the general diagram for this sequence.
AUTO SHUTDOWN MODE (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 1)
In auto shutdown mode, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 automatically enter shutdown at the end of each conversion when
the control register is updated. When the part is in auto shutdown,
the track-and-hold is in hold mode. Figure 22 shows the general
diagram of the operation of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 in
this mode.
In auto shutdown mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 is powered down. The part retains information
in the control register during auto shutdown. The AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 remain in shutdown until the next CS falling
edge that it receives. On this CS falling edge, the track-and-hold,
which was in hold mode while the part was in shutdown, returns
to track mode. Wake-up time from auto shutdown is 1 µs maximum, and the user should ensure that 1 µs has elapsed before
attempting a valid conversion.
When running the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 with a 20 MHz
clock, one 16 SCLK dummy cycle should be sufficient to ensure
that the part is fully powered up. During this dummy cycle, the
contents of the control register should remain unchanged;
therefore, the WRITE bit should be set to 0 on the DIN line.
This dummy cycle effectively halves the throughput rate of the
part, with every other conversion result being valid. In auto
shutdown mode, the power consumption of the part is greatly
reduced because the part enters shutdown at the end of each
conversion. When the control register is programmed to move
into auto shutdown mode, it does so at the end of the conversion. The user can move the ADC in and out of the low
power state by controlling the CS signal.

POWERING UP THE AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
When supplies are first applied to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924,
the ADC may power up in any of the operating modes of the
part. To ensure that the part is placed into the required operating
mode, the user should perform a dummy cycle operation as
shown in Figure 23, Figure 24, and Figure 25.
The dummy conversion operation must be performed to place
the part into the desired mode of operation. To ensure that the
part is in normal mode, this dummy cycle operation can be
performed with the DIN line tied high, that is, the PM1 and
PM0 bits are set to 11 (depending on other required settings in
the control register). However, the minimum power-up time of
1 µs must be allowed from the rising edge of CS, where the
control register is updated, before attempting the first valid
conversion. This power-up time allows for the possibility that
the part was initially powered up in shutdown mode.
If the desired mode of operation after supplies are applied is
auto shutdown mode, two dummy cycles are required: the first
dummy cycle with DIN tied high, and the second to set the
power management bits, PM1 and PM0, to 01. On the second CS
rising edge after the supplies are applied, the control register
contains the correct information and the part enters auto
shutdown mode as programmed. If power consumption is of
critical concern, then in the first dummy cycle, the user can set
PM1 and PM0 to 10, that is, full shutdown mode, and then place
the part into auto shutdown mode in the second dummy cycle.
For illustration purposes, Figure 25 is shown with DIN tied
high on the first dummy cycle in this case.
Figure 23, Figure 24, and Figure 25 show the required dummy
cycles after supplies are applied for normal mode, full shutdown
mode, and auto shutdown mode, respectively.
If the desired mode of operation is full shutdown, one dummy
cycle is required after supplies are applied. In this dummy cycle,
the user simply sets the power management bits, PM1 and PM0,
to 10 and, upon the rising edge of CS at the end of that serial
transfer, the part enters full shutdown mode.

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
POWER vs. THROUGHPUT RATE
By operating the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 in auto shutdown
mode, the average power consumption of the ADC decreases at
lower throughput rates. Figure 26 shows how, as the throughput
rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown state longer, and
the average power consumption over time drops accordingly.
For example, if the AD7924 is operated in continuous sampling
mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and an SCLK of 20 MHz
(AVDD = 5 V), and the device is placed into auto shutdown mode
(PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1), the power consumption is calculated
as described in this section.
The maximum power dissipation during normal operation is
13.5 mW (AVDD = 5 V). If the power-up time from auto shutdown
is one dummy cycle, that is, 1 µs, and the remaining conversion
time is another cycle, that is, 1 µs, then the AD7924 can be said
to dissipate 13.5 mW for 2 µs during each conversion cycle. For
the remainder of the conversion cycle, 8 µs, the part remains in
shutdown. The AD7924 can be said to dissipate 2.5 µW for the
remaining 8 μs of the conversion cycle. If the throughput rate is
100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 µs and the average power dissipated
during each cycle is ((2/10) × 13.5 mW) + ((8/10) × 2.5 µW) =
2.702 mW.
Figure 26 shows the maximum power vs. throughput rate when
using the auto shutdown mode with 5 V and 3 V supplies.

The CS signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process.
The falling edge of CS puts the track-and-hold into hold mode
and takes the bus out of three-state; the analog input is sampled
at this point. The conversion is also initiated at this point and
requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. The track-and-hold returns
to track mode on the 14th SCLK falling edge, as shown by Point B
in Figure 27, Figure 28, and Figure 29. On the 16th SCLK falling
edge, the DOUT line returns to three-state. If the rising edge of
CS occurs before 16 SCLKs have elapsed, the conversion is
terminated, the DOUT line returns to three-state, and the
control register is not updated; otherwise, DOUT returns to
three-state on the 16th SCLK falling edge, as shown in Figure 27,
Figure 28, and Figure 29.
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion
process and to access data from the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
For the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924, the 8/10/12 bits of data are
preceded by two leading zeros and the two channel address bits,
ADD1 and ADD0, which identify the channel that the result
corresponds to. CS going low clocks out the first leading zero to
be read in by the microcontroller or DSP on the first falling edge of
SCLK. The first falling edge of SCLK also clocks out the second
leading zero to be read in by the microcontroller or DSP on the
second SCLK falling edge, and so on. The two address bits and
the 8/10/12 data bits are then clocked out by subsequent SCLK
falling edges beginning with the first address bit, ADD1; thus,
the second falling clock edge on the serial clock has the second
leading zero provided and also clocks out the address bit ADD1.
The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the 16th falling edge,
having been clocked out on the previous (15th) falling edge.
The writing of information to the control register takes place on
the first 12 falling edges of SCLK in a data transfer, assuming
that the MSB (the WRITE bit) has been set to 1.

The AD7904 outputs two leading zeros, two channel address

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The SPORT0 control register of the ADSP-218x should be set
up as follows:
The serial interface of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 allows
the part to be directly connected to a range of different
microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to some of the more common
microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to TMS320C541
The serial interface of the TMS320C541 uses a continuous serial
clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize the data
transfer operations with peripheral devices such as the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924. The CS input allows easy interfacing between
the TMS320C541 and the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 without any
glue logic required. The serial port of the TMS320C541 is set up
to operate in burst mode with internal CLKX0 (TX serial clock
on Serial Port 0) and FSX0 (TX frame sync from Serial Port 0).
The serial port control (SPC) register must have the following
setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM = 1, and TXM = 1. The connection
diagram is shown in Figure 30. Note that for signal processing
applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronization
signal from the TMS320C541 provide equidistant sampling.
The VDRIVE pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 takes the same
supply voltage as the TMS320C541. This allows the ADC to
operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, the
TMS320C541, if necessary.

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 31. The ADSP-218x
has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set
as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in alternate framing mode and the SPORT0 control register is set up as
described. The frame synchronization signal generated on the
TFS is tied to CS and, as with all signal processing applications,
equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example, the
timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC,
and under certain conditions equidistant sampling may not be
achieved.

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to ADSP-218x
The ADSP-218x family of DSPs interfaces directly to the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 without any glue logic required.
The VDRIVE pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 takes the same
supply voltage as the ADSP-218x. This allows the ADC to
operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, the
ADSP-218x, if necessary.
The timer register, for example, is loaded with a value that
provides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When an
interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC
control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and thus the
reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set in the
SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with TFS
is given (that is, AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked.
The DSP waits until SCLK goes high, low, and high again before
transmission starts. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen in
such a way that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near
the rising edge of SCLK, the data may be transmitted or it may
wait until the next clock edge.
For example, if the ADSP-2189 has a 20 MHz crystal so that its
master clock frequency is 40 MHz, then the master cycle time is
25 ns. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3, then
an SCLK of 5 MHz is obtained and eight master clock periods
elapse for every one SCLK period.

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
Data Sheet
Depending on the throughput rate selected, if the timer register
is loaded with a value such as 803 (803 + 1 = 804), then 100.5
SCLKs will occur between interrupts and subsequently between
transmit instructions. This setup results in nonequidistant
sampling because the transmit instruction occurs on an SCLK
edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a whole
integer value N, equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP.
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to DSP563xx
The connection diagram in Figure 32 shows how the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 can be connected to the ESSI (synchronous
serial interface) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs from Motorola.
Each ESSI (two on board) is operated in synchronous mode
(SYN bit in CRB = 1) with internally generated 1-bit clock
period frame sync for both Tx and Rx (bits FSL1 = 0 and FSL0 =
0 in CRB). Normal operation of the ESSI is selected by setting
MOD = 0 in the CRB. Set the word length to 16 by setting bits
WL1 = 1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP bit in the CRB should
be set to 1 so that the frame sync is negative. Note that for signal
processing applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provide equidistant sampling.
In the example shown in Figure 32, the serial clock is taken from
the ESSI so the SCK0 pin must be set as an output (SCKD = 1).
The VDRIVE pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 takes the same
supply voltage as the DSP563xx. This allows the ADC to operate
at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, the DSP563xx,
if necessary.

GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 have very good immunity to
noise on the power supplies (see Figure 6). However, care
should be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
The PCB that houses the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 should be
designed such that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the
use of ground planes that can be easily separated. A minimum
etch technique is generally best for ground planes because it
provides the best shielding. All four AGND pins of the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 should be sunk in the AGND plane. Digital
and analog ground planes should be joined at only one place. If
the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are in a system where multiple
devices require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the connection
should still be made at one point only: a star ground point
established as close as possible to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these lines
couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be
allowed to run under the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to avoid
noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low
impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power
supply line. Fast switching signals such as clocks should be
shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other
sections of the board, and clock signals should never be run
near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog
signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at
right angles to each other to reduce the effects of feedthrough
through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best, but
is not always possible with a double-sided board. In this
technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to
ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should
be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum capacitors in parallel with
0.1 μF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best performance
from these decoupling components, place them as close as
possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. The
0.1 μF capacitors should have low effective series resistance
(ESR) and effective series inductance (ESI), such as the common
ceramic types or surface-mount types, which provide a low
impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle
transient currents due to internal logic switching.
