12-Bit High Speed Low Power Sampling
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● 500kHz THROUGHPUT RATE
The ADS7818 is a 12-bit sampling analog-to-digital
converter (A/D) complete with sample/hold, internal
2.5V reference, and synchronous serial interface. Typical power dissipation is 11mW at a 500kHz throughput rate. The device can be placed into a power down
mode which reduces dissipation to just 2.5mW. The
input range is zero to two times the reference voltage,
and the internal reference can be overdriven by an
external voltage.
● 2.5V INTERNAL REFERENCE
● LOW POWER: 11mW
● SINGLE SUPPLY +5V OPERATION
● DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
● SERIAL INTERFACE
● GUARANTEED NO MISSING CODES
● MINI-DIP-8 AND MSOP-8
● UNIPOLAR INPUT RANGE
Low power, small size, and high-speed make the
ADS7818 ideal for battery operated systems such as
wireless communication devices, portable multi-channel data loggers, and spectrum analyzers. The serial
interface also provides low-cost isolation for remote
data acquisition. The ADS7818 is available in a plastic mini-DIP-8 or an MSOP-8 package and is guaranteed over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.

THEORY OF OPERATION
are common to both inputs. Thus, the –IN input is best used
to sense a remote ground point near the source of the +IN
signal. If the source driving the +IN signal is nearby, the
–IN should be connected directly to ground.
The ADS7818 is a high speed successive approximation
register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (A/D) with an
internal 2.5V bandgap reference. The architecture is based
on capacitive redistribution which inherently includes a
sample/hold function. The converter is fabricated on a 0.6µ
CMOS process. See Figure 1 for the basic operating circuit
for the ADS7818.
The input current into the analog input depends on input
voltage and sample rate. Essentially, the current into the
device must charge the internal hold capacitor during the
sample period. After this capacitance has been fully charged,
there is no further input current. The source of the analog
input voltage must be able to charge the input capacitance to
a 12-bit settling level within the sample period—which can
be as little as 350ns in some operating modes. While the
converter is in the hold mode or after the sampling capacitor
has been fully charged, the input impedance of the analog
input is greater than 1GΩ.
The ADS7818 requires an external clock to run the conversion process. This clock can vary between 200kHz (12.5Hz
throughput) and 8MHz (500kHz throughput). The duty cycle
of the clock is unimportant as long as the minimum HIGH
and LOW times are at least 50ns and the clock period is at
least 125ns. The minimum clock frequency is set by the
leakage on the capacitors internal to the ADS7818.
Care must be taken regarding the input voltage on the +In
and –IN pins. To maintain the linearity of the converter, the
+In input should remain within the range of GND – 200mV
to +VCC + 200mV. The –IN input should not drop below
GND – 200mV or exceed GND + 200mV. Outside of these
ranges, the converter’s linearity may not meet specifications.
The analog input is provided to two input pins: +IN and –IN.
When a conversion is initiated, the differential input on these
pins is sampled on the internal capacitor array. While a
conversion is in progress, both inputs are disconnected from
any internal function.
The range of the analog input is set by the voltage on the
VREF pin. With the internal 2.5V reference, the input range
is 0 to 5V. An external reference voltage can be placed on
VREF, overdriving the internal voltage. The range for the
external voltage is 2.0V to 2.55V, giving an input voltage
range of 4.0V to 5.1V.
REFERENCE
The reference voltage on the VREF pin directly sets the fullscale range of the analog input. The ADS7818 can operate
with a reference in the range of 2.0V to 2.55V, for a fullscale range of 4.0V to 5.1V.
The digital result of the conversion is provided in a serial
manner, synchronous to the CLK input. The result is provided most significant bit first and represents the result of
the conversion currently in progress—there is no pipeline
delay. By properly controlling the CONV and CLK inputs,
it is possible to obtain the digital result least significant bit
first.
The voltage at the VREF pin is internally buffered and this
buffer drives the capacitor DAC portion of the converter.
This is important because the buffer greatly reduces the
dynamic load placed on the reference source. However, the
voltage at VREF will still contain some noise and glitches
from the SAR conversion process. These can be reduced by
carefully bypassing the VREF pin to ground as outlined in the
sections that follow.
ANALOG INPUT
The +IN and –IN input pins allow for a differential input
signal to be captured on the internal hold capacitor when the
converter enters the hold mode. The voltage range on the
–IN input is limited to –0.2V to 0.2V. Because of this, the
differential input can be used to reject only small signals that
INTERNAL REFERENCE

internal reference. This reference can be used to supply a
small amount of source current to an external load, but the
load should be static. Due to the internal 10kΩ resistor, a
dynamic load will cause variations in the reference voltage,
and will dramatically affect the conversion result. Note that
even a static load will reduce the internal reference voltage
seen at the buffer input. The amount of reduction depends on
the load and the actual value of the internal “10kΩ” resistor.
The value of this resistor can vary by ±30%.

FIGURE 2. Serial Data and Clock Timing.
The VREF pin should be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor
placed as close as possible to the ADS7818 package. In
addition, a 2.2 µF tantalum capacitor should be used in
parallel with the ceramic capacitor. Placement of this capacitor is not as critical.
SYMBOL
EXTERNAL REFERENCE
The internal reference is connected to the VREF pin and to the
internal buffer via a 10kΩ series resistor. Thus, the reference
voltage can easily be overdriven by an external reference
voltage. The voltage range for the external voltage is 2.0V
to 2.55V, corresponding to an analog input range of 4.0V to
5.1V.
While the external reference will not source significant
current into the VREF pin, it does have to drive the series
10kΩ resistor that is terminated into the 2.5V internal
reference (the exact value of the resistor will vary up to
±30% from part to part). In addition, the VREF pin should
still be bypassed to ground with at least a 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor (placed as close to the ADS7818 as possible). The
reference will have to be stable with this capacitive load.
Depending on the particular reference and A/D conversion
speed, additional bypass capacitance may be required, such
as the 2.2µF tantalum capacitor shown in Figure 1.
Reasons for choosing an external reference over the internal
reference vary, but there are two main reasons. One is to
achieve a given input range. For example, a 2.048V reference provides for a 0V to 4.095V input range—or 1mV per
LSB. The other is to provide greater stability over temperature. The internal reference is typically 20ppm/°C which
translates into a full-scale drift of roughly 1 output code for
every 12°C (this does not take into account other sources of
full-scale drift). If greater stability over temperature is needed,
then an external reference with lower temperature drift will
be required.

TABLE I. Timing Specifications (TA = –40°C to +85°C,
CLOAD = 30pF).
The asynchronous nature of CONV to CLK raises some
interesting possibilities, but also some design considerations. Figure 3 shows that CONV has timing restraints in
relation to CLK (tCKCH and tCKCS). However, if these times
are violated (which could happen if CONV is completely
asynchronous to CLK), the converter will perform a conversion correctly, but the exact timing of the conversion is
indeterminate. Since the setup and hold time between CONV
and CLK has been violated in this example, the start of
conversion could vary by one clock cycle. (Note that the
start of conversion can be detected by using a pull-up
resistor on DATA. When DATA drops out of high-impedance and goes LOW, the conversion has started and that
clock cycle is this first of the conversion.)
DIGITAL INTERFACE
Figure 2 shows the serial data timing and Figure 3 shows the
basic conversion timing for the ADS7818. The specific
timing numbers are listed in Table I. There are several
important items in Figure 3 which give the converter additional capabilities over typical 8-pin converters. First, the
transition from sample mode to hold mode is synchronous to
the falling edge of CONV and is not dependent on CLK.
Second, the CLK input is not required to be continuous
during the sample mode. After the conversion is complete,
the CLK may be kept LOW or HIGH.
In addition if CONV is completely asynchronous to CLK
and CLK is continuous, then there is possibility that CLK
will transition just prior to CONV going LOW. If this occurs

Figure 4 shows the typical method for placing the A/D into
the power-down mode. If CONV is kept LOW during the
conversion and is LOW at the start of the 13 clock cycle,
then the device enters the power-down mode. It remains in
this mode until the rising edge of CONV. Note that CONV
must be HIGH for at least tACQ in order to sample the signal
properly as well as to power-up the internal nodes.
faster than the 10ns indicated by tCKCH, then there is a
chance that some digital feedthrough may be coupled onto
the hold capacitor. This could cause a small offset error for
that particular conversion.
Thus, there are two basic ways to operate the ADS7818.
CONV can be synchronous to CLK and CLK can be continuous. This would be the typical situation when interfacing
the converter to a digital signal processor. The second
method involves having CONV asynchronous to CLK and
gating the operation of CLK (a non-continuous clock). This
method would be more typical of an SPI-like interface on a
microcontroller. This method would also allow CONV to be
generated by a trigger circuit and to initiate (after some
delay) the start of CLK. These two methods are covered
under DSP Interfacing and SPI Interfacing.
There are two different methods for clocking the ADS7818.
The first involves scaling the CLK input in relation to the
conversion rate. For example, an 8MHz input clock and the
timing shown in Figure 3 results in a 500kHz conversion
rate. Likewise, a 1.6MHz clock would result in a 100kHz
conversion rate. The second method involves keeping the
clock input as close to the maximum clock rate as possible
and starting conversions as needed. This timing is similar to
that shown in Figure 4. As an example, a 50kHz conversion
rate would require 160 clock periods per conversion instead
of the 16 clock periods used at 500kHz.
POWER-DOWN TIMING
The conversion timing shown in Figure 3 does not result in
the ADS7818 going into the power-down mode. If the
conversion rate of the device is high (approaching 500kHz),
then there is very little power that can be saved by using the
power-down mode. However, since the power-down mode
incurs no conversion penalty (the very first conversion is
valid), at lower sample rates, significant power can be saved
by allowing the device to go into power-down mode between conversions.
The main distinction between the two is the amount of time
that the ADS7818 remains in power down. In the first mode,
the converter only remains in power down for a small
number of clock periods (depending on how many clock
periods there are per each conversion). As the conversion
rate scales, the converter always spends the same percentage
of time in power down. Since less power is drawn by the
digital logic, there is a small decrease in power consumption, but it is very slight. This effect can be seen in the
typical performance curve “Supply Current vs Sample Rate.”

operated as shown. If the sample time is longer than 3 clock periods, power consumption can be reduced by allowing the device to
enter a power down mode. See the power down timing for more information.

FIGURE 5. Serial Data “LSB-First” Timing.
In contrast, the second method (clocking at a fixed rate)
means that each conversion takes X clock cycles. As the
time between conversions get longer, the converter remains
in power-down an increasing percentage of time. This re-
duces total power consumption by a considerable amount.
For example, a 50kHz conversion rate results in roughly
1/10 of the power (minus the reference) that is used at a
500kHz conversion rate.

the conversion will terminate immediately, before all 12-bits
have been decided. This can be a very useful feature when
a resolution of 12-bits is not needed. An example would be
when the converter is being used to monitor an input voltage
until some condition is met. At that time, the full resolution
of the converter would then be used. Short-cycling the
conversion can result in a faster conversion rate or lower
power dissipation.
There are several very important items shown in Figure 6.
The conversion currently in progress is terminated when
CONV is taken HIGH during the conversion and then taken
LOW prior to tCKCH before the start of the 13th clock cycle.
Note that if CONV goes LOW during the 13th clock cycle,
then the LSB first mode will be entered (Figure 5). Also,
when CONV goes LOW, the DATA output immediately
transitions to high impedance. If the output bit that is present
during that clock period is needed, CONV must not go LOW
until the bit has been properly latched into the receiving
logic.
TABLE II. Power Consumption versus CLK Input.
LSB FIRST DATA TIMING
Figure 5 shows a method to transmit the digital result in a
least-significant bit (LSB) format. This mode is entered
when CONV is pulled HIGH during the conversion (before
the end of the 12th clock) and then pulled LOW during the
13th clock (when D0, the LSB, is being transmitted). The
next 11 clocks then repeat the serial data, but in an LSB first
format. The converter enters the power-down mode during
the 13th clock and resumes normal operation when CONV
goes HIGH.
DATA FORMAT
The ADS7818 output data is in straight binary format as
shown in Figure 7. This figure shows the ideal output code
for the given input voltage and does not include the effects
of offset, gain, or noise.

NOTE: (1) The conversion currently in progress can be stopped by pulling CONV LOW during the conversion. This must occur at

mode when CONV is pulled LOW.

microcontrollers form various manufacturers. CONV would
be tied to a general purpose I/O pin (SPI) or to a PCX pin
(QSPI), CLK would be tied to the serial clock, and DATA
would be tied to the serial input data pin such as MISO
(master in slave out).

Note the time tDRP shown in Figure 9. This represents the
maximum amount of time between CONV going LOW and
the start of the conversion clock. Since CONV going LOW
places the sample and hold in the hold mode and because the
hold capacitor looses charge over time, there is a requirement that time tDRP be met as well as the maximum clock
period (tCKP).

LAYOUT
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the
physical layout of the ADS7818 circuitry. This is particularly true if the CLK input is approaching the maximum
input rate.

NOTES: (1) For external reference, value is 2 • VREF – 1 LSB. (2) Voltage
at converter input: +IN–(–IN).
The basic SAR architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden
changes on the power supply, reference, ground connections, and digital inputs that occur just prior to latching the
output of the analog comparator. Thus, during any single
conversion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are n “windows” in which large external transient voltages can easily
affect the conversion result. Such glitches might originate
from switching power supplies, nearby digital logic, and
high power devices. The degree of error in the digital output
depends on the reference voltage, layout, and the exact
timing of the external event. The error can change if the
external event changes in time with respect to the CLK
input.

DSP INTERFACING
Figure 8 shows a timing diagram that might be used with a
typical digital signal processor such as a TI DSP. For the
buffered serial port (BSP) on the TMS320C54X family,
CONV would tied to BFSX, CLK would be tied to BCLKX,
and DATA would be tied to BDR.

With this in mind, power to the ADS7818 should be clean
and well bypassed. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor should
be placed as close to the device as possible. In addition, a
1µF to 10µF capacitor is recommended. If needed, an even
larger capacitor and a 5Ω or 10Ω series resistor my be used
to lowpass filter a noisy supply.
capacitor. An additional larger capacitor may also be used,
if desired. If the reference voltage is external and originates
from an op-amp, make sure that it can drive the bypass
capacitor or capacitors without oscillation.
The GND pin should be connected to a clean ground point.
In many cases, this will be the “analog” ground. Avoid
connections which are too near the grounding point of a
microcontroller or digital signal processor. If needed, run a
ground trace directly from the converter to the power supply
entry point. The ideal layout will include an analog ground
plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog
circuitry.
The ADS7818 draws very little current from an external
reference on average as the reference voltage is internally
buffered. However, glitches from the conversion process
appear at the VREF input and the reference source must be
able to handle this. Whether the reference is internal or
external, the VREF pin should be bypassed with a 0.1µF
