The DDC232 uses a +5V analog supply and a +2.7V
to +3.6V digital supply. Operating over the
temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, the DDC232
BGA-64 package is offered in two versions: the
DDC232C for low-power applications, and the
DDC232CK when higher speeds are required.

DESCRIPTION
The DDC232 is a 20-bit, 32-channel, current-input
analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. It combines both
current-to-voltage and A/D conversion so that 32
separate low-level current output devices, such as
photodiodes, can be directly connected to its inputs
and digitized.
For each of the 32 inputs, the DDC232 provides a
dual-switched integrator front-end. This configuration
allows for continuous current integration: while one
integrator is being digitized by the onboard A/D
converter, the other is integrating the input current.
Adjustable integration times range from 166ms to 1s,
allowing currents from fAs to mAs to be continuously
measured with outstanding precision.
The DDC232 has a serial interface designed for
daisy-chaining in multi-device systems. Simply
connect the output of one device to the input of the
next to create the chain. Common clocking feeds all
the devices in the chain so that the digital overhead
in a multi-DDC232 system is minimal.

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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
converters via multiplexers. With the DDC232 in the
continuous integration mode, the output of the
integrators from one side of the inputs will be digitized
while the other 32 integrators are in the integration
mode. This integration and A/D conversion process is
controlled by the system clock, CLK. The results from
side A and side B of each signal input are stored in a
serial output shift register. The DVALID output goes
low when the shift register contains valid data.
The block diagram of the DDC232 is shown in
Figure 2. The device contains 32 identical input
channels
that
perform
the
function
of
current-to-voltage
integration
followed
by
a
multiplexed A/D conversion. Each input has two
integrators so that the current-to-voltage integration
can be continuous in time. The output of the 64
integrators are switched to 16 delta-sigma (∆Σ)

DEVICE OPERATION
operational amplifier. At the beginning of a
conversion, the switches SA/D, SINTA, SINTB, SREF1,
SREF2, and SRESET are set (see Figure 4).
Basic Integration Cycle
The topology of the front end of the DDC232 is an
analog integrator as shown in Figure 3. In this
diagram, only input IN1 is shown. The input stage
consists of an operational amplifier, a selectable
feedback capacitor network (CF), and several
switches that implement the integration cycle. The
timing relationships of all of the switches shown in
Figure 3 are illustrated in Figure 4. Figure 4
conceptualizes the operation of the integrator input
stage of the DDC232 and should not be used as an
exact timing tool for design.
At the completion of an A/D conversion, the charge
on the integration capacitor (CF) is reset with SREF1
and SRESET (see Figure 4 and Figure 5a). This is
done during reset. In this manner, the selected
capacitor is charged to the reference voltage, VREF.
Once the integration capacitor is charged, SREF1 and
SRESET are switched so that VREF is no longer
connected to the amplifier circuit while it waits to
begin integrating (see Figure 5b). With the rising
edge of CONV, SINTA closes, which begins the
integration of side A. This process puts the integrator
stage into its integrate mode (see Figure 5c).
See Figure 5 for the block diagrams of the reset,
integrate, wait, and convert states of the integrator
section of the DDC232. This internal switching
network is controlled externally with the convert pin
(CONV) and the system clock (CLK). For the best
noise performance, CONV must be synchronized with
the rising edge of CLK. It is recommended that CONV
toggle within ±10ns of the rising edge of CLK.
Charge from the input signal is collected on the
integration capacitor, causing the voltage output of
the amplifier to decrease. The falling edge of CONV
stops the integration by switching the input signal
from side A to side B (SINTA and SINTB). Prior to the
falling edge of CONV, the signal on side B was
converted by the A/D converter and reset during the
time that side A was integrating. With the falling edge
of CONV, side B starts integrating the input signal. At
this point, the output voltage of the side A operational
amplifier is presented to the input of the ∆Σ A/D
converter (see Figure 5d).
The noninverting inputs of the integrators are
connected to ground. Consequently, the DDC232
analog ground should be as clean as possible. In
Figure 3, the feedback capacitors (CF) are shown in
parallel between the inverting input and output of the

charge needed by the ∆Σ converter. For an
integration time of 333ms, this charge translates to an
average VREF current of approximately 325mA. The
amount of charge needed by the ∆Σ converter is
independent of the integration time; therefore,
increasing the integration time lowers the average
current. For example, an integration time of 800ms
lowers the average VREF current to 135mA.
Integration Capacitors
There are seven different capacitors available on-chip
for both sides of every channel in the DDC232. These
internal capacitors are trimmed in production to
achieve the specified performance for range error of
the DDC232. The range control bits (Range[2:0])
change the capacitor value for all integrators.
Consequently, all inputs and both sides of each input
will always have the same full-scale range. Table 4
shows the capacitor value selected for each range
selection.
It is critical that VREF be stable during the different
modes of operation (see Figure 5). The ∆Σ converter
measures the voltage on the integrator with respect
to VREF. Since the integrator capacitors are initially
reset to VREF, any drop in VREF from the time the
capacitors are reset to the time when the converter
measures the integrator output will introduce an
offset. It is also important that VREF be stable over
longer periods of time because changes in VREF
correspond directly to changes in the full-scale range.
Finally, VREF should introduce as little additional
noise as possible.

For these reasons, it is strongly recommended that
the external reference source be buffered with an
operational amplifier, as shown in Figure 6. In this
circuit, the voltage reference is generated by a
+4.096V reference. A low-pass filter to reduce noise
connects the reference to an operational amplifier
configured as a buffer. This amplifier should have low
noise and input/output common-mode ranges that
support VREF. Even though the circuit in Figure 6
might appear to be unstable due to the large output
capacitors, it works well for most operational
amplifiers. It is not recommended that series
resistance be placed in the output lead to improve
stability since this can cause a drop in VREF, which
produces large offsets.
Voltage Reference
The external voltage reference is used to reset the
integration capacitors before an integration cycle
begins. It is also used by the ∆Σ converter while the
converter is measuring the voltage stored on the
integrators after an integration cycle ends. During this
sampling, the external reference must supply the

Frequency Response
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
The frequency response of the DDC232 is set by the
front-end integrators and is that of a traditional
continuous time integrator, as shown in Figure 7. By
adjusting tINT, the user can change the 3dB
bandwidth and the location of the notches in the
response. The frequency response of the ∆Σ
converter that follows the front-end integrator is of no
consequence because the converter samples a held
signal from the integrators. That is, the input to the
∆Σ converter is always a DC signal. Since the output
of the front-end integrators are sampled, aliasing can
occur. Whenever the frequency of the input signal
exceeds one-half of the sampling rate, the signal will
fold back down to lower frequencies.
Some aspects of device operation are controlled by
the onboard configuration register. The DIN_CFG,
CLK_CFG, and RESET pins are used to write to this
register. When beginning a write operation, hold
CONV low and strobe RESET; see Figure 8. Then
begin shifting in the configuration data on DIN_CFG.
Data are written to the configuration register most
significant bit first. The data are internally latched on
the falling edge of CLK_CFG. Partial writes to the
configuration register are not allowed—make sure to
send all 12 bits when updating the register.
0
Gain (dB)
−10
Optional readback of the configuration register is
available immediately after the write sequence.
During readback, the 12-bit configuration data
followed by a 4-bit revision ID and the test pattern are
shifted out on the DOUT pin on the rising edge of
DCLK.
NOTE: Wth Format = 1, the test pattern is 304 bits,
with only the last 72 bits non-zero. This sequence of
outputs is repeated twice for each DDC232 and
daisy-chaining is supported in configuration readback.
Table 5 shows the test pattern configuration during
readback. Table 6 shows the timing for the
configuration register read and write operations.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
The digital interface of the DDC232 outputs the digital
results via a synchronous serial interface consisting
of a data clock (DCLK), a valid data pin (DVALID), a
serial data output pin (DOUT), and a serial data input
pin (DIN). The integration and conversion process is
fundamentally independent of the data retrieval
process. Consequently, the CLK and DCLK
frequencies need not be the same, though for best
performance, it is highly recommended that they be
derived from the same clocking source to keep the
phase relationship constant. DIN is only used when
multiple converters are cascaded and should be tied
to DGND otherwise. Depending on tINT, CLK, and
DCLK, it is possible to daisy-chain multiple
converters. This greatly simplifies the interconnection
and routing of the digital outputs in those applications
where a large number of converters are needed.
Configuration of the DDC232 is set by a dedicated
register addressed using the DIN_CFG and
CLK_CFG pins.
DVALID eliminates any concern about this
relationship. If the data read back is timed from
CONV, make sure to wait for the required amount of
time. For Continuous mode, this time is given by
tCMDR. For Noncontinuous mode, use tNCDR1 or tNCDR2,
as appropriate. See Table 9 for details.
Reset (RESET)
The DDC232 is reset asynchronously by taking the
RESET input low, as shown in Figure 9. Make sure
the release pulse is at least 1ms wide. After resetting
the DDC232, wait at least four conversions before
using the data. It is very important that RESET is
glitch-free to avoid unintentional resets.
Figure 9. Reset Timing
System and Data Clocks (CLK and CONV)
The system clock is supplied to CLK and the data
clock is supplied to DCLK. It is recommended that the
CLK pin be driven by a free-running clock source
(that is, do not start and stop CLK between
conversions). Make sure the clock signals are
clean—avoid overshoot or ringing. For best
performance, generate both clocks from the same
clock source. DCLK should be disabled by taking it
low after the data has been shifted out or while
CONV is transitioning.
When using multiple DDC232s, pay close attention to
the DCLK distribution on the printed circuit board
(PCB). In particular, make sure to minimize skew in
the DCLK signal because this can lead to timing
violations in the serial interface specifications. See
the Cascading Multiple Converters section for more
details.
Data Valid (DVALID)
The DVALID signal indicates that data are ready.
Data retrieval may begin after DVALID goes low. This
signal is generated using an internal clock divided
down from the system clock, CLK. The phase
relationship between this internal clock and CLK is
set when power is first applied and is random. Since
the user must synchronize CONV with CLK, the
DVALID signal will have a random phase relationship
with CONV. This uncertainty is ±1/fCLK. Polling
14
> 1µs
RESET
Conversion Rate
The conversion rate of the DDC232 is set by a
combination of the integration time (determined by
the user) and the speed of the A/D conversion
process. The A/D conversion time is primarily a
function of the system clock (CLK) speed. One A/D
conversion cycle encompasses the conversion of two
signals (one side of each dual integrator feeding the
modulator) and the reset time for each of the
integrators involved in the two conversions. In most
situations, the A/D conversion time is shorter than the
integration time. If this condition exists, the DDC232
will operate in the continuous mode. When the
DDC232 is in the continuous mode, the sensor output
is continuously integrated by one of the two sides of
each input.
In the event that the A/D conversion takes longer
than the integration time, the DDC232 will switch into
a Noncontinuous mode. In Noncontinuous mode, the
A/D converter is not able to keep pace with the speed
of the integration process. Consequently, the
integration process is periodically halted until the
digitizing process catches up. These two basic modes
of operation for the DDC232—Continuous and
Noncontinuous modes—are described below.

Continuous and Noncontinuous Operational
Modes
Figure 10 shows the state diagram of the DDC232. In
all, there are eight states. Table 8 provides a brief
explanation of each state.
During the Continuous (Cont) mode, mbsy is not
active when CONV toggles. The nonintegrating side
is always ready to begin integrating when the other
side finishes its integration. Consequently, monitoring
the current status of CONV is all that is needed to
know the current state. Cont mode operation
corresponds to states 3 to 6. Two of the states, 3 and
6, only perform an integration (that is, no m/r/az
cycle).

Four signals are used to control progression around
the state diagram: CONV, mbsy, and their
complements. The state machine uses the level as
opposed to the edges of CONV to control the
progression. mbsy is an internally-generated signal
not available to the user. It is active whenever a
measurement/reset/auto-zero (m/r/az) cycle is in
progress.
CONV|mbsy
State Diagram Notation:
CONV • mbsy = CONV high AND mbsy active.
CONV|mbsy = CONV high OR mbsy active.
Figure 10. Integrate/Measure State Diagram
mbsy becomes important when operating in the
Noncontinuous (Ncont) mode (states 1, 2, 7, and 8).
Whenever CONV is toggled while mbsy is active, the
DDC232 will enter or remain in either Ncont state 1
(or 8). After mbsy goes inactive, state 2 (or 7) is
entered. This state prepares the appropriate side for
integration. In the Ncont states, the inputs to the
DDC232 are grounded.
One interesting observation from the state diagram is
that the integrations always alternate between sides
A and B. This relationship holds for any CONV
pattern and is independent of the mode. States 2 and
7 ensure this relationship during the Ncont mode.
When power is first applied to the DDC232, the
beginning state is either 1 or 8, depending on the
initial level of CONV. For CONV held high at
power-up, the beginning state is 1. Conversely, for
CONV held low at power-up, the beginning state is 8.
In general, there is a symmetry in the state diagram
between states 1–8, 2–7, 3–6, and 4–5. Inverting
CONV results in the states progressing through their
symmetrical match.

Table 9 gives generalized timing specifications in
units of CLK periods for Clk_4x = 0. If Clk_4x = 1,
these values increase by a factor of 4 because of the

In Figure 11, the first state is Ncont state 8. The
DDC232 always powers up in the Ncont mode. In this
case, the first state is 8 because CONV is initially
low. After the first two states, Cont mode operation is
reached and the states begin toggling between 4 and
5. From now on, the input is being continuously
integrated, either on side A or side B. The time
needed for the m/r/az cycle, tMRAZ, is the same time
that determines the boundary between the Cont and
Ncont modes described earlier in the Continuous and
Noncontinuous Operational Modes section. DVALID
goes low after CONV toggles in time tCMDR, indicating
that data are ready to be retrieved.
See Figure 12 for the timing diagram of the internal
operations occurring during Continuous mode
operation. Table 10 gives the timing specifications of

is increased so that tINT is always ≥ tMRAZ as shown in
Figure 16 (see Figure 13 and Table 11, page 18).
With a longer tINT, the m/r/az cycle has enough time
to finish before the next integration begins and
continuous integration of the input signal is possible.
For the special case of the very first integration when
changing to the Cont mode, tINT can be < tMRAZ. This
is allowed because there is no simultaneous m/r/az
cycle on the side B during state 3—therefore, there is
no need to wait for it to finish before ending the
integration on side A.
Changing Between Modes
Changing from Cont to Ncont mode occurs whenever
tINT < tMRAZ. Figure 15 shows an example of this
transition. In this figure, Cont mode is entered when
the integration on side A is completed before the
m/r/az cycle on side B is complete. The DDC232
completes the measurement on sides B and A during
states 8 and 7 with the input signal shorted to ground.
Ncont integration begins with state 6.

DATA FORMAT
The serial output data are provided in an offset binary
code as shown in Table 12. The Format bit in the
configuration register selects how many bits are used
in the output word. When Format = 1, 20 bits are
used. When Format = 0, the lower 4 bits are
truncated so that only 16 bits are used. Note that the
LSB size is 16 times bigger when Format = 0. An
offset is included in the output to allow slightly
negative inputs (for example, from board leakages)
from clipping the reading. This offset is approximately
0.4% of the positive full-scale.

DATA RETRIEVAL
Make sure not to retrieve data around changes in
CONV because this can introduce noise. Stop activity
on DCLK at least 10ms before or after a CONV
transition.
In both the Continuous and Noncontinuous modes of
operation, the data from the last conversion are
available for retrieval on the falling edge of DVALID
(see Figure 17 and Table 13). Data are shifted out on
the falling edge of the data clock, DCLK.
Setting the Format bit = 0 (16-bit output word) will
reduce the time needed to retrieve data by 20% since
there are fewer bits to shift out. This can be useful in
multichannel systems requiring only 16 bits of
resolution.

RETRIEVAL BEFORE CONV TOGGLES
(CONTINUOUS MODE)
t INT * ǒt CMDR ) t SDCVǓ
(20 32)t DCLK
Data retrieval before CONV toggles is the most
straightforward method. Data retrieval begins soon
after DVALID goes low and finishes before CONV
toggles, as shown in Figure 20. For best
performance, data retrieval must stop tSDCV before
CONV toggles. This method is most appropriate for
longer integration times. The maximum time available
for readback is tINT – tCMDR – tSDCV.
NOTE: (16 × 32)tDCLK is used for Format = 0, where
tDCLK is the period of the data clock. For example, if
tINT = 1000ms and DCLK = 10MHz, the maximum
number of DDC232s with Format = 1 is shown in
Equation 2:
1000ms * 286.8ms

For DCLK = 10MHz and CLK = 5MHz, the maximum

For shorter integration times, more time is available if
data retrieval begins after CONV toggles and ends
before the new data are ready. Data retrieval must
wait tSDCV after CONV toggles before beginning. See
Figure 21 for an example of this. The maximum time
available for retrieval is tCMDR – (tSDCV + tHDDODV),
regardless of tINT. The maximum number of DDC232s
that can be daisy-chained together with Format = 1 is
calculated by Equation 3:

Nearly all of tINT is available for data retrieval.
Figure 22 illustrates how this is done by combining
the two previous methods. Pause the retrieval during

previously, and finish before the next data are ready.

RETRIEVAL: NONCONTINUOUS MODE
until the second integration completes, leaving less
time available for retrieval. The time available is
tNCDR2 – (tINT – tNCDR1). Data from the second
integration must be retrieved before the next round of
integration begins. This time is highly dependent on
the pattern used to generate CONV. As with the
continuous mode, data retrieval must halt before and
after CONV toggles (tSDCV) and be completed before
new data are ready (tHDDODV).
Retrieving in Noncontinuous mode is slightly different
as compared with the Continuous mode. As
illustrated in Figure 23, DVALID goes low in time
tNCDR1 after the first integration completes. If tINT is
shorter than this time, all of tNCDR2 is available to
retrieve data before the other side data are ready. For
tINT > tNCDR1, the first integration data are ready
before the second integration completes. Data

POWER-UP SEQUENCING
LAYOUT
Prior to power-up, all digital and analog inputs must
be low. At the time of power-up, all of these signals
should remain low until the power supplies have
stabilized, as shown in Figure 24. At this time, begin
supplying the master clock signal to the CLK pin.
Wait for time tPOR, then give a RESET pulse. After
releasing RESET, the configuration register must be
programmed. Table 16 shows the timing for the
power-up sequence.
POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING
tPOR
Power Supplies
Both AVDD and DVDD should be as quiet as
possible. It is particularly important to eliminate noise
from AVDD that is nonsynchronous with the DDC232
operation. Figure 25 illustrates how to supply power
to the DDC232. Each supply of the DDC232 should
be bypassed with 10mF solid tantalum capacitors. It is
recommended that both the analog and digital
grounds (AGND and DGND) be connected to a single
ground plane on the printed circuit board (PCB).

Shielding Analog Signal Paths
As with any precision circuit, careful PCB layout will
ensure the best performance. It is essential to make
short, direct interconnections and avoid stray wiring
capacitance—particularly at the analog input pins and
QGND. These analog input pins are high-impedance
and extremely sensitive to extraneous noise. The
QGND pin should be treated as a sensitive analog
signal and connected directly to the supply ground
with proper shielding. Leakage currents between the
PCB traces can exceed the input bias current of the
DDC232 if shielding is not implemented. Digital
signals should be kept as far as possible from the
analog input signals on the PCB.

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 as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
