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.

Four lines of digital input/output (I/O) are also provided. Additional circuitry provides support functions including conversion clock, voltage reference, and serial interface for control and data retrieval. The ADS7871 is based on the ADS7870 and shares the same interface, functionality, and pinout. The exceptions are: pin 15 is now hard-wired to ground; the SAR conversion cycle takes 14 clocks rather than 12; and the output data has only one defined zero at bit D1 (of Register 0), as opposed to three defined zeroes at bits D1, D2, and D3 (of Register 0) as in the ADS7870. Control and configuration of the ADS7871 is accomplished by command bytes written to internal registers through the serial port. Command Register device control includes MUX channel selection, PGA gain, A/D start conversion command, and I/O line control. Command register configuration control includes internal voltage reference setting and oscillator control. Operational modes and selected functions can be activated by digital inputs at corresponding pins. Pin settable configuration options include SCLK active-edge selection, master reset, and internal oscillator clock enable. The ADS7871 has eight analog signal input pins, LN0 through LN7. These pins are connected to a network of analog switches (the MUX block). The inputs can be configured as 8 single-ended or 4 differential inputs, or some combination. The four general-purpose digital I/O pins (I/O3 through I/O0) can be made to function individually as either digital inputs or digital outputs. These pins give the user access to four digital I/O pins through the serial interface without having to run additional wires to the host controller. The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) provides gains of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 20 V/V. The 14-bit A/D converter in the ADS7871 is a successive approximation type. The default output of the converter is 2s complement format and can be read in a variety of ways depending on the program configuration. The ADS7871 internal voltage reference can be software configured for output voltages of 1.15 V, 2.048 V, or 2.5 V. The reference circuit is trimmed for high initial accuracy and low temperature drift. A separate buffer amplifier is provided to buffer the high impedance VREF output. The voltage reference, PGA, and A/D converter use the conversion clock (CCLK) and signals derived from it. CCLK can be either an input or output signal. The ADS7871 can divide the CCLK signal by a constant before it is applied to the A/D converter and PGA. This allows a higher frequency system clock to be used to control the A/D converter operation. Division factors (DF) of 1, 2, 4, and 8 are available. The signal that is actually applied to the PGA and A/D converter is DCLK, where DCLK = CCLK/DF. The ADS7871 is designed so that its serial interface can be conveniently used with a wide variety of microcontrollers. It has four conventional serial interface pins: SCLK (serial data clock), DOUT (serial data out), DIN (serial data in, which may be set bidirectional in some applications), and CS (chip select function). The ADS7871 has ten internal user accessible registers which are used in normal operation to configure and control the device (summarized in Figure 18). 11 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Multiplexer The ADS7871 has eight analog signal input pins, LN0 through LN7. These pins are connected to a network of analog switches (the MUX block in the block diagram). The switches are controlled by four bits in the Gain/Mux register. LN0 through LN7 can be configured as 8 single-ended inputs or 4 differential inputs or some other combination. Some MUX combination examples are shown in Figure 23. The differential polarity of the input pins can be changed with the M2 bit in the MUX address. This feature allows reversing the polarity of the conversion result without having to physically reverse the input connections to the ADS7871. For linear operation, the input signal at any of the LN0 through LN7 pins can range between GND – 0.2 V and VDD + 0.2 V. The polarity of the differential signal can be changed through commands written to the Gain/Mux register, but each line must remain within the linear input common mode voltage range. Inputs LN0 through LN7 have ESD protection circuitry as the first active elements on the chip. These contain protection diodes connected to VDD and GND that remain reverse biased under normal operation. If input voltages are expected beyond the absolute maximum voltage range, it is necessary to add resistance in series with the input to limit the current to 10 mA or less. Conversion Clock The conversion clock (CCLK) and signals derived from it are used by the voltage reference, the PGA, and the A/D converter. The CCLK pin can be made either an input or an output. For example, one ADS7871 can be made to be the conversion clock master (CCLK is an output), while the others are slaved to it with their CCLK pins all being inputs (by default). This can reduce A/D conversion errors caused by multiple clocks and other systems noise. When the OSC ENABLE pin is low or zero, the CCLK pin is an input and the ADS7871 relies on an applied external clock for the conversion process. When OSC ENABLE is high or if the OSCE bit D4 in register 7 is set to a one, the internal oscillator and an internal buffer is enabled, making pin 19 an output. Either way the CCLK is sensed internally at the pin so all ADS7871s see the same clock delays. Capacitive loading on the CCLK pin can draw significant current compared with the supply current to the ADS7871 (ILOAD = fCCLK × VDD × CLOAD). The internal reference requires a continuous clock and may be supplied by the internal oscillator independently of the system clock driving the CCLK pin. Setting OSCR (bit D5 in register 7) and REFE (bit D3 in register 7) both to one accomplishes this. Figure 11 illustrates all of these relationships. The ADS7871 utilizes the power saving technique of turning on and off the biasing for the PGA and A/D as needed. This does not apply to the oscillator, reference, and buffer, these run continuously when enabled. The buffer output is high impedance when disabled, so for a low power data logging application the filter capacitor is not discharged when the buffer is turned off and does not require as much settling time when turned on. The serial interface clock is independent of the conversion clock and can run faster or slower. If it is desirable to use a faster system clock than the 2.5-MHz nominal rate that the ADS7871 uses then this clock may be divided to a slower rate ( 1/2, 1/4, 1/8) by setting the appropriate bits in register 3. This clock divider applies equally to an external as well as internal clock to create the internal DCLK for the PGA and A/D conversion cycle. The ADS7871 has both maximum and minimum DCLK frequency constraints (DCLK = CCLK/DF). The maximum DCLK is 2.5 MHz. The minimum DCLK frequency applied to the PGA, reference, and A/D is 100 kHz. 12 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Pin 26 VREF Pin 28 BUFOUT/REFIN Pin 27 BUFIN Internal Oscillator (2.5 MHz) REF BUF Enabled by Reg.7 D2, BUFE Enabled by Reg.7 D4, OSCE or Reg.7D5, OSCR or Pin 18, OSC Enable To ADC OSC CLK Reg.7 D5 OSCR = 1 Internal Reference Enabled by Pin 18 OSC Enable Reg.7 D4, OSCE 1/4 Enabled by Reg.7D3, REFE Reg.7 D5 OSCR = 0 DCLK Pin 18 OSC ENABLE 1/N Divider Pin 19 CCLK N Set by Reg.3 D[1:0], CFD[1:0] Internal Control Logic ADS7871 Figure 15. Block Diagram With Internal and External Clocks and References Voltage Reference and Buffer Amplifier The ADS7871 uses a patented switched capacitor implementation of a band-gap reference. The circuit has curvature correction for drift and can be software configured for output voltages of 1.15 V, 2.048 V, or 2.5 V (default). The internal reference output (VREF) is not designed to drive a typical load; a separate buffer amplifier must be used to supply any load current. The internal reference buffer (REFBUF) can source many tens of milliamps to quickly charge a filter capacitor tied to its output, but it can only typically sink 200 µA. If there is any significant noise on the REFIN pin, then a resistor to ground (≥ 250 Ω) would improve the buffers ability to recover from a positive going noise spike. This would, of course, be at the expense of power dissipation. The temperature compensation of the onboard reference is adjusted with the reference buffer in the circuit. Performance is specified in this configuration. Programmable Gain Amplifier The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) provides gains of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 20 V/V. The PGA is a single supply, rail-to-rail input, auto-zeroed, capacitor based instrumentation amplifier. PGA gain is set by bits G2 through G0 of register 4. The ability to detect when the PGA outputs are driven to clipping, or nonlinear operation, is provided by the least significant bit of the output data (register 0) being set to one. This result is the logical OR of fault detecting comparators within the ADS7871 monitoring the outputs of the PGA. The inputs are also monitored, for problems, often due to ac common mode or low supply operation and ORed to this OVL bit. Register 2 can be read to determine what fault conditions existed during the conversion. An illustration of how the OVL bit could be set without having reached the maximum output code of the A/D converter is shown in Figure 10. The OVL bit also facilitates a quick test to allow for an auto-ranging application, indicating to the system controller it should try reducing the PGA gain. 13 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 A/D Converter The 14-bit A/D converter in the ADS7871 is a successive approximation type. The output of the converter is 2s complement format and can be read through the serial interface MSB first or LSB first. A plot of output codes vs input voltage is shown in Figure 16. With the input multiplexer configured for differential input, the A/D transfer function is: * 8192 v Code v 8191 for V * 1 LSB * V REF v V IN v REF G G (1) With the input multiplexer configured for single-ended inputs, the A/D transfer function is: 0 v Code v 8191 for 0 v V IN v VREF * 1 LSB G 01 1111 1111 1111 (8191) 01 1111 1111 1110 (8190) (2) Positive Full Scale Transition OUTPUT CODE Output Code is 2s Complement –V REF 00 0000 0000 0010 (2) 00 0000 0000 0001 (1) 00 0000 0000 0000 (0) Zero Transition 11 1111 1111 1111 (–1) 11 1111 1111 1110 (–2) 10 0000 0000 0001 (–8191) 10 0000 0000 0000 (–8192) Negative Full Scale Transition INPUT VOLTAGE Figure 16. Output Codes Versus Input Voltage 14 +V REF www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Conversion Cycle A conversion cycle requires 50 DCLKs, where DCLK = CCLK/DF, the divided-down clock. Operation of the PGA requires 36 DCLKs: capture the input signal, auto-zero the PGA, level-shift and amplify the input signal. The period of this cycle makes certain the settling time is sufficient for gain = 20 and (source impedance of 2 kΩ or less) even if the gain is less than 20. The SAR converter takes the last 14 DCLKs. For maximum sampling rate the input command and output data must be communicated during this cycle, although this is not recommended for best performance. During the conversion cycle the internal capacitive load at the selected MUX input changes between 6 pF and 9.7 pF. When the ADS7871 is not converting, the MUX inputs have a nominal 4-pF load capacitance. The source impedance of the input causes the voltage to vary on the DCLK transitions as the internal capacitors are switched in and out. A 10-nF to 100-nF capacitor across the differential inputs helps filter these glitches and act as an antialias filter in combination with the source impedance. Source impedance greater than 2 kΩ requires longer settling times and so the CCLK should be reduced accordingly. For minimum power dissipation, the bias needed for each function is turned on, allowed to settle, and run only for the duration required for each conversion. Low rate data logging applications can capitalize on this by utilizing the internal oscillator as needed rather than running a slow system clock. Starting an A/D Conversion Cycle There are four ways to cause the ADS7871 to perform a conversion: 1. Send a direct mode instruction. 2. Write to register 4 with the CNV bit = 1 3. Write to register 5 with the CNV bit = 1 } The next conversion queues up, waiting for the current conversion to complete 4. Assert the CONVERT pin (logic high) — A new conversion cycle starts at the second active edge of CCLK Serial Interface The ADS7871 communicates with microprocessors and other external circuitry through a digital serial port interface. It is compatible with a wide variety of popular microcontrollers and digital signal processors (DSP). These include TI’s TMS320, MSC1210, and MSP430 product families. Other vendors products such as Motorola 68HC11, Intel 80C51, and MicroChip PIC Series are also supported. The serial interface consists of four primary pins, SCLK (serial bit clock), DIN (serial data input), DOUT (serial data output) and CS (chip select). SCLK synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being transmitted on the falling or rising SCLK edge as determined by the RISE/FALL pin. SDIN may also be used as a serial data output line. Additional pins expand the versatility of the basic serial interface and allow it to be used with different microcontrollers. The BUSY pin indicates when a conversion is in progress and may be used to generate interrupts for the microcontroller. The CONVERT pin can be used as a hardware-based method of causing the ADS7871 to start a conversion cycle. The RESET pin can be toggled in order to reset the ADS7871 to the power-on state. Communication through the serial interface is dependent on the microcontroller providing an instruction byte followed by either additional data (for a write operation) or just additional SCLKs to allow the ADS7871 to provide data (for a read operation). Special operating modes for reducing the instruction byte overhead for retrieving conversion results are available. Reset of device (RESET), start of conversion (CONVERT), and oscillator enable (OSC ENABLE) can be done by signals to external pins or entries to internal registers. The actual execution of each of these commands is a logical OR function; either pin or register signal TRUE causes the function to execute. The CONVERT pin signal is an edge-triggered event, with a hold time of two CCLK periods for debounce. 15 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Operating Modes The ADS7871 serial interface operates based on an instruction byte followed by an action commanded by the contents of that instruction. The 8-bit instruction word is clocked into the DIN input. There are two types of instruction bytes that may be written to the ADS7871 as determined by bit D7 of the instruction word (see Figure 17). These two instructions represent two different operating modes. In direct mode (bit D7 = 1), a conversion is started. A register mode (bit D7 = 0) instruction is followed by a read or write operation to the specified register. INSTRUCTION BYTE D7 (MSB) D6 D5 1 G2 G1 Start Conversion (Direct Mode) D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 G0 M3 M2 M1 M0 A3 A2 A1 A0 OR Read/Write (Register Mode) 0 R/W 16/8 A4 START CONVERSION INSTRUCTION BYTE (Direct Mode)(1) BIT SYMBOL D7 NAME VALUE Mode select 1 FUNCTION Starts a conversion cycle (direct mode) D6−D4 G2−G0 PGA gain select 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 D3−D0 M3−M0 Input channel select See Figure 24 (1) PGA Gain = 1 (power up default condition) PGA Gain = 2 PGA Gain = 4 PGA Gain = 5 PGA Gain = 8 PGA Gain = 10 PGA Gain = 16 PGA Gain = 20 Determines input channel selection for the requested conversion, differential or single-ended configuration. The seven lower bits of this byte are also written to register 4, the Gain/Mux register. READ/WRITE INSTRUCTION BYTE (Register Mode) BIT SYMBOL D7 NAME VALUE Mode Select 0 Initiates a read or write operation (register mode) FUNCTION D6 R/W Read/Write Select 0 1 Write operation Read operation D5 16/8 Word Length 0 1 8-Bit word 16-Bit word (2 8-bit bytes) D4−D0 AS4−AS0 Register Address See Figure 18 Determines the address of the register that is to be read from or written to Figure 17. Instruction Byte Addressing Direct Mode In direct mode a conversion is initiated by writing a single 8-bit instruction byte to the ADS7871 (bit D7 is set to 1). Writing the direct mode command sets the configuration of the multiplexer, selects the gain of the PGA, and starts a conversion cycle. After the last bit of the instruction byte is received, the ADS7871 performs a conversion on the selected input channel with the PGA gain set as indicated in the instruction byte. The conversion cycle begins on the second falling edge of DCLK after the eighth active edge of SCLK of the instruction byte. When the conversion is complete, the conversion result is stored in the A/D Output registers and is available to be clocked out of the serial interface by the controlling device using the READ operation in the register mode. The structure of the instruction byte for direct mode is shown in Figure 17. D D7: This bit is set to 1 for direct mode operation D D6 through D4 (G2 − G0): These bits control the gain of the programmable gain amplifier. PGA gains of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10,16, and 20 are available. The coding is shown in Figure 17. D D3 through D0 (M3 − M0): These bits configure the switches that determine the input channel selection. The input channels may be placed in either differential or single-ended configurations. In the case of differential configuration, the polarity of the input signal is reversible. The coding is shown in Figure 27. 16 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Note that the seven lower bits of this byte are written to register 4, the Gain/Mux register. All other controllable ADS7871 parameters are values previously stored in their respective registers. These values are either the power-up default values (0) or values that were previously written to one of the control registers in a register mode operation. No additional data is required for a direct mode instruction. Register Mode In register mode (bit D7 of the instruction byte is 0) a read or write instruction to one of the ADS7871 registers is initiated. All of the user determinable functions and features of the ADS7871 can be controlled by writing information to these registers (see Figure 21). Conversion results can be read from the A/D Output registers. REGISTER ADDRESS READ/ WRITE REGISTER CONTENT A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 ADDR NO.

Register Address Map The instruction byte (see Figure 17) contains the address of the register for the next read/write operation, determines whether the serial communication is to be done in 8-bit or 16-bit word length, and determines whether the next operation is read-from or written-to the addressed register. The structure of the instruction byte for register mode is shown in Figure 17. D D7: This bit is set to 0 for register mode operation. D D6 (R/W): Bit 6 of the instruction byte determines whether a read or write operation is performed, 1 for a read or 0 for a write. D D5 (16/8): This bit determines the word length of the read or write operation that follows, 1 for sixteen bits (two eight-bit bytes) or 0 for eight bits. D D4 through D0 (A4 − A0): These bits determine the address of the register that is to be read from or written to. Register address coding and other information are tabulated in Figure 18. For 16-bit operations, the first eight bits are written-to/read-from the address encoded by the instruction byte, bits A4 through A0 (register address). The address of the next eight bits depends upon whether the register address for the first byte is odd or even. If it is even, then the address for the second byte is the register address + 1. If the register address is odd, then the address for the second byte is the register address – 1. This arrangement allows transfer of conversion results from the two A/D Output Data registers either MS byte first or LS byte first (refer to the section Serial Interface Control Register). Register Summary A summary of information about the addressable registers is shown in Figure 18. Their descriptions follow, and more detailed information is provided later in the section Internal User-accessible Registers. Registers 0 and 1, the A/D Output Data registers, contain the least significant and most significant bits of the A/D conversion result (ADC0 through ADC13). Register 0 also has one fixed zero (D1), and a bit to indicate if the internal voltage limits of the PGA have been over ranged (OVR). This is a read only register. Write an 8-bit word to register 0 and the ADS7871 is reset. 17 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Register 2, the PGA Valid register, contains information that describes the nature of the problem in the event that the allowable input voltage to the PGA has been exceeded. Register 3, the A/D Control register, has two test bits (best left set to zero), a bit to convert the output format to straight binary (BIN), an unused bit set to zero, two bits to configure an automatic read back mode of the A/D results (RBM1, RBM0), and two bits that program the frequency divider for the CCLK (CDF1, CDF0). Register 4, the Gain/Mux register, contains the input channel selection information (M0 through M3) and the programmable gain amplifier gain set bits (G0 through G2). Register 5, the Digital I/O State register, contains the state of each of the digital I/O pins (I/O3 through I/O0). In addition, registers 4 and 5 contain a convert/busy bit (CNV/BSY) that can be used to start a conversion via a write instruction or sense when the converter is busy with a read instruction. Register 6, the Digital I/O Control register, contains the information that determines whether each of the four digital I/O pins is to be an input or an output function (OE3 through OE0). This sets the mode of each I/O pin. Register 7, the Ref/Oscillator Control register, controls whether the internal oscillator used for the conversion clock is on or off (OSCE), whether the internal voltage reference and buffer are on or off (REFE, BUFE), and whether the reference provides 2.5 V, 2.048 V, or 1.15 V. Register 24, the Serial Interface Control register, controls whether data is presented MSB or LSB first (LSB bit), whether the serial interface is configured for 2-wire or 3-wire operation (2W/3W bit), and determines proper timing control for 8051-type microprocessor interfaces (8051 bit). Register 31, the ID register, is read only. Reset There are three ways to reset. All register contents and the serial interface are reset on: 1. Cycle power. The power down time must be long enough to allow internal nodes to discharge. 2. Toggle the RESET pin. Minimum pulse width to reset is 50 ns. 3. Write an 8-bit byte to register 0. The ADS7871 does not wait for the data which would normally follow this instruction. All of these actions set all internal registers to zero, turns off the oscillator, reference, and buffer. Recovery time for the reference is dependent on capacitance on the reference and buffer outputs. Only the serial interface is reset (and disabled) when the CS signal is brought high. If CS is continuously held low, and the ADS7871 is reset by an 8-bit write to register 0 (even if inadvertently) then the next 1 input to DIN is the synchronizing bit for the serial interface. The next active edge of SCLK following this 1 latches in the first bit of the new instruction byte. For applications where CS cannot be cycled and system synchronization is lost, the ADS7871 must be reset by writing 39 zeros and a one. The serial interface is then ready to accept the next command byte. This string length is based on the worst case conditions to ensure that the device is synchronized. NOTE: A noisy SCLK, with excessive ringing, can cause the ADS7871 to inadvertently reset. Sufficient capacitance to correct this problem may be provided by just a scope probe, which would mask this issue during debugging. A 100-Ω capacitor in series with the SCLK pin is usually sufficient to correct this problem. Since the data is changed on the opposite edge of SCLK, it is usually settled before the active edge of SCLK and would not need its own 100-Ω resistor, although it would not be detrimental. 18 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Write Operation To perform a write operation an instruction byte must first be written to the ADS7871 as described previously (see Figure 17). This instruction determines the target register as well as the word length (8 bits or 16 bits). The CS pin must be asserted (0) prior to the first active SCLK edge (rising or falling depending on the state of the RISE/FALL pin) that latches the first bit of the instruction byte. The first active edge after CS must have the first bit of the instruction byte. The remaining seven bits of the instruction byte are latched on the next seven active edges of SCLK. CS must remain low for the entire sequence. Setting CS high resets the serial interface. When starting a conversion by setting the CNV/BSY bit in the Gain/Mux register and/or the Digital I/O register, the conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK after the last active SCLK edge of the write operation. Figure 19 shows an example of an eight-bit write operation with LSB first and SCLK active on the rising edge. The double arrows indicate the SCLK transition when data is latched into its destination register.

Notice that both bytes are updated to their respective registers simultaneously. Also shown is that the address (ADDR) for the write of the second byte is incremented by one since the ADDR in the instruction byte was even. For an odd ADDR, the address for the second byte would be ADDR−1.

Timing Diagram of a 16-Bit Write Operation to an Even Address 19 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Read Operation A read operation is similar to a write operation except that data flow (after the instruction byte) is from the ADS7871 to the host controller. After the instruction byte has been latched (on the eighth active edge of SCLK), the DOUT pin (and the DIN pin if in two-wire mode) begins driving data on the next nonactive edge of SCLK. This allows the host controller to have valid data on the next active edge of SCLK. The data on DOUT (or DIN) transitions on the nonactive edges of SCLK. The DIN pin (two-wire mode) ceases driving data (return to high impedance) on the nonactive edge of SCLK following the eighth (or sixteenth) active edge of the read data. DOUT is only high impedance when CS is not asserted. With CS high (1), DOUT (or DIN) is forced to high impedance mode. In general, the ADS7871 is insensitive to the idle state of the clock except that the state of SCLK may determine if DIN is driving data or not. Upon completion of the read operation, the ADS7871 is ready to receive the next instruction byte. Read operations reflect the state of the ADS7871 on the first active edge of SCLK of the data byte transferred. Figure 21 shows an example of an eight-bit read operation with LSB first and SCLK active on the rising edge. The double rising arrows indicate when the instruction is latched.

The input channels may be placed in either differential or single-ended configurations. For differential configurations, the polarity of the input signal is reversible by the state of M2 (Bit D2). In single-ended mode, all input channels are measured with respect to system ground (pin 25). Figure 23 shows some examples of multiplexer assignments and Figure 24 provides the coding for the input channel selection.

Most of the registers are reserved, the ten user-accessible registers are summarized in the register address map (see Figure 18). Detailed information for each register follows. The default power-on/reset state of all bits in the registers is 0. ADC Output Registers The A/D Output registers are read only registers located at ADDR = 0 and ADDR = 1 that contain the results of the A/D conversion, ADC13 through ADC0 (see Figure 25). The conversion result is in 2s complement format. The bits can be taken out of the registers MSB (D7) first or LSB (D0) first, as determined by the state of the LSB bits (D7 or D0) in the Serial Interface Control register. The ADDR = 0 register also contains the OVR bit which indicates if the internal voltage limits to the PGA have been exceeded.

Figure 27. ADC Control Register (ADDR = 3) Read Back Modes RBM1 and RBM0 determine which of four possible modes is used to read the A/D conversion result from the A/D Output registers.

Clock Divider CFD1 and CFD0 set the CCLK divisor constant which determines the DCLK applied to the A/D, PGA, and reference. The A/D and PGA operate with a maximum clock of 2.5 MHz. In situations where an external clock is used to pace the conversion process it may be desirable to reduce the external clock frequency before it is actually applied to the PGA and A/D. The signal that is actually applied to the A/D and PGA is DCLK, where DCLK = CCLK/DF (DF is the division factor determined by the CFD1 and CFD0 bits). For example, if the external clock applied to CCLK is 10 MHz and DF = 4 (CFD1 = 1, CFD0 = 0), DCLK equals 2.5 MHz. 24 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Gain/Mux Register The Gain/Mux register (ADDR = 4) contains the bits that configure the PGA gain (G2 − G0) and the input channel selection (M3 − M0) as shown in Figure 28. This register is also updated when direct mode is used to start a conversion so its bit definition is compatible with the instruction byte.

Bold items are power-up default conditions. Figure 28. Gain/Mux Register (ADDR = 4) Input Channel Selection Bits M3 through M0 configure the switches that determine the input channel selection. The input channels may be placed in either differential or single-ended configurations. In the case of differential configuration, the polarity of the input pins is reversible by the state of the M2 bit. The coding for input channels is given in Figure 24 and examples of different input configurations are shown in Figure 23. Convert/Busy If the CNV/BSY bit is set to a 1 during a write operation, a conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK after the active edge of SCLK that latched the data into the Gain/Mux register. The CNV/BSY bit may be read with a read instruction. The CNV/BSY bit is set to 1 in a read operation if the ADS7871 is performing a conversion at the time the register is sampled in the read operation. Gain Select Bits G2 through G0 control the gain of the programmable gain amplifier. PGA gains of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 20 are available. The coding is shown in Figure 28. 25 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Digital Input/Output State Register The Digital I/O State register (ADDR = 5) contains the state of each of the four digital I/O pins. Each pin can function as a digital input (the state of the pin is set by an external signal connected to it) or a digital output (the state of the pin is set by data from a serial input to the ADS7871). The input/output functional control is established by the digital I/O mode control bits (OE3−OE0) in the Digital I/O Control register. In addition, the convert/busy bit (CNV/BSY) can be used to start a conversion via a write instruction or determine if the converter is busy by executing a read instruction. Digital I/O State Bits Bits D3 through D0 (I/O3−I/O0) of the Digital I/O State register are the state bits. If the corresponding mode bit makes the pin a digital input, the state bit indicates whether the external signal connected to the pin is a 1 or a 0, and it is not possible to control the state of the corresponding bit with a write operation. The state of the bit is only controlled by the external signal connected to the digital I/O pin. Coding is shown in Figure 29.

NOTE: When the mode control makes a pin a digital input, it is not possible to control the state of the corresponding bit in the Digital I/O State register with a write operation. The state of the bit is only controlled by the external signal connected to the digital I/O pin. Figure 29. Digital I/O State Register (ADDR = 5) The four digital I/O pins allow control of external circuitry, such as a multiplexer, or allow the digital status lines from other devices to be read without using any additional microcontroller pins. Reads from this register always reflect the state of the pin, not the state of the latch inside the ADS7871. Convert/Busy If CNV/BSY is set to a 1 during a write operation, a conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK after the active edge of SCLK that latched the data into the Digital I/O register. The CNV/BSY bit may be read with a read instruction. The CNV/BSY bit is set to 1 in a read operation if the ADS7871 is performing a conversion at the time the register is sampled in the read operation. 26 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Digital I/O Control Register The Digital I/O Control register (ADDR = 6) contains the information that determines whether each of the four digital I/O lines is configured as an input or output. Setting the appropriate OE bit to 1 enables the corresponding I/O pin as an output. Setting the appropriate OE bit to 0 enables the corresponding I/O pin as an input (see Figure 30).

VREF = 1.15 V FUNCTION Bold items are power-up default conditions. Figure 31. Reference/Oscillator Configuration Register (ADDR = 7) Oscillator Control The internal voltage reference uses a switched capacitor technique which requires a clocking signal input. When OSCR = 1, the clocking signal for the reference comes from the internal oscillator. When OSCR = 0, the clocking signal for the reference is derived from the signal on the CCLK pin and affected by the frequency divider controlled by the CFD0 and CFD1 bits in the A/D Control register. The OSCE bit is the internal oscillator enable bit. When it is set to 1, power is applied to the internal oscillator causing it to produce a 2.5-MHz output and causing the signal to appear at the CCLK pin. The internal oscillator is also enabled when the OSCR bit and the REFE bit are set to 1, but does not make CCLK an output pin. The internal oscillator is also enabled when the OSC ENABLE pin is set to 1. The power-up default condition is 0 for OSCE and OSCR. If either the OSC ENABLE pin is held high, or either of these control register bits are 1, then the oscillator is turned on. Voltage Reference and Buffer Enable When the REFE bit = 0 (power-up default condition), the reference is powered down and draws no current. When REFE is set to 1, the reference is powered up and draws approximately 190 µA of current. When the BUFE bit = 0 (power-up default condition), the buffer amplifier is powered down and draws no current. When the buffer amplifier is set to 1, it is powered up and draws approximately 150 µA of current. Selecting the Reference Voltage When the RBG bit is set to 1, the voltage on the VREF pin is 1.15 V and the R2V bit has no effect. When this bit is set to 0 (power-up default condition), the R2V bit determines the value of the reference voltage. When R2V = 0 and RBG = 0 (power-up default condition), the voltage at the VREF pin is 2.5 V. When R2V = 1 and RBG = 0, the reference voltage is 2.048 V. A 14-bit bipolar input A/D converter has 16384 states and each state corresponds to 305 µV with the 2.5-V reference. With a 2.048-V reference, each A/D bit corresponds to 250 µV. 28 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Serial Interface Control Register The Serial Interface Control register (ADDR = 24), see Figure 32, allows certain aspects of the serial interface to be controlled by the user. It controls whether data is presented MSB or LSB first and whether the serial interface is configured for 2-wire or 3-wire operation, and it determines proper timing control for 8051-type microprocessor interfaces. The information in this register is formatted with the information symmetric about its center. This is done so that it may be read or written either LSB (bit D7) or MSB (bit D0) first. Each control bit has two locations in the register. If either of the two is set, the function is activated. This arrangement can potentially simplify microcontroller communication code. The instruction byte to write this configuration data to register 24 is itself symmetric. From Figure 17, a register mode write instruction of 8 bits to address 24 is 0001 1000 in binary form. Therefore, this command to write to this register is valid under all conditions.

Serial Interface Control Register (ADDR = 24) LSB or MSB The LSB bit determines whether the serial interface receives and transmits either LSB or MSB first. Setting the LSB bit (1) configures the interface to expect all bytes LSB first as opposed to the default MSB first (LSB = 0). 2-Wire or 3-Wire Operation The 2W/3W bit configures the ADS7871 for 2-wire or 3-wire mode. In two-wire mode (2W/3W = 1), the DIN pin is enabled as an output during the data output portion of a read instruction. The DIN pin accepts data when the ADS7871 is receiving and it outputs data when the ADS7871 is transmitting. When data is being sent out of the DIN pin, it also appears on the DOUT pin as well. In three-wire mode (2W/3W = 0), data to the ADS7871 is received on the DIN pin and is transmitted on the DOUT pin. The power-up default condition is three-wire mode. 29 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Serial Interface Timing (8051 Bit) The 8051 bit changes the timing of when the DIN pin goes to high impedance at the end of an operation. When the bit is a 1, the pin goes to high impedance on the last active SCLK edge of the last byte of data transfer instead of waiting for the next inactive edge, or CS to go inactive. This allows the ADS7871 to disconnect from the data lines soon enough to avoid contention with an 80C51-type interface. The 80C51 drives data four CPU cycles before an inactive SCLK edge and for two CPU cycles after an active SCLK edge. When the 8051 bit is a 0, the DIN pin goes high impedance on the next inactive SCLK edge or when CS goes inactive (1). Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the timing of when the ADS7871 sets the DIN pin to high impedance at the end of a read operation when the 2W/3W bit is set. The behavior of DOUT does not depend of the state of 2W/3W. The 8051 bit is not set for these two examples.

Notice that on the last bit of the read operation the DIN (and DOUT) pin goes to the high impedance state on the active edge of SCLK instead of waiting for the inactive edge of SCLK or CS going high as shown in Figure 33 and Figure 34. This is for compatibility with 80C51 mode 0 type serial interfaces. An 80C51 forces DIN valid before the SCLK falling edge and holds it valid until after the SCLK rising edge. This can lead to contention but setting the 8051 bit fixes this potential problem without requiring CS to be toggled high after every read operation.

Unused bits in the partially used registers must always be written low. 31 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 STARTING A CONVERSION THROUGH THE SERIAL INTERFACE There are two methods of starting a conversion cycle through the serial interface. The first (nonaddressed or direct mode) is by using the start conversion byte as described earlier. The second (addressed mode) is by setting the CNV/BSY bit of register 4 or register 5 by performing a write instruction. The conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK after the eighth active edge of SCLK (for the instruction in nonaddressed mode or the data in addressed mode). The BUSY pin goes active (1) one DCLK period (1, 2, 4, or 8 CCLK periods depending on CFD1 and CFD0) after the start of a conversion. This delay is to allow BUSY to go inactive when conversions are queued to follow in immediate succession. BUSY goes inactive at the end of the conversion. If a conversion is already in progress when the CNV/BSY bit is set on the eighth active SCLK edge, the CNV/BSY bit is placed in the queue and the current conversion is allowed to finish. If a conversion is already queued, the new one replaces the currently queued conversion. The queue is only one conversion long. Immediately upon completion of the current conversion, the next conversion starts. This allows for maximum throughput through the A/D converter. Since BUSY is defined to be inactive for the first DCLK clock period of the conversion, the inactive (falling) edge of BUSY can be used to mark the end of a conversion (and start of the next conversion). Figure 37 shows the timing of a conversion start using the convert start instruction byte. The double rising arrow on SCLK indicates when the instruction is latched. The double falling arrow on CCLK indicates where the conversion cycle actually starts (second falling edge of CCLK after the eighth active edge of SCLK). This example is for LSB first, CCLK divider = 1, and SCLK active on rising edge. Notice that BUSY goes active one CCLK period later since CCLK divider = 1.

Similar to the CNV/BSY register bit, the conversion starts on the second falling edge of CCLK after the CONVERT rising edge. The CONVERT pin must stay high for at least two CCLK periods. CONVERT must also be low for at least two CCLK periods before going high. BUSY goes active one DCLK period after the start of the conversion. Contrary to the CNV/BSY bit in the register, the CONVERT pin aborts any conversion in process and restart a new conversion. BUSY goes low at the end of the conversion. CS may be either high or low when the CONVERT pin starts a conversion. Figure 40 shows the timing of a conversion start using the CONVERT pin. The double falling arrow on CCLK indicates when the conversion cycle actually starts (the second active CCLK edge after CONVERT goes active). This example is for CCLK divider = 4.

Timing Diagram of Conversion Start Using CONVERT Pin READ BACK MODES There are four modes available to read the A/D conversion result from the A/D Output registers. The RBM1 and RBM0 bits in the A/D Control register (ADDR = 3) control which mode is used by the ADS7871. Read Back Mode 0 (default mode) requires a separate read instruction to retrieve the conversion result Read Back Mode 1 (automatic) provides the output most significant byte first Read Back Mode 2 (automatic) provides the output least significant byte first Read Back Mode 3 (automatic) provides only the most significant byte Mode 3 does not short cycle the A/D. Automatic read back mode is only triggered when starting a conversion using the serial interface. Conversions started using the CONVERT pin do not trigger the read back mode. The first bit of data for an automatic read back is loaded on the first active SCLK edge of the read portion of THE instruction. The remaining bits are loaded on the next inactive SCLK edge (the first one after the first active edge). To avoid getting one bit from one conversion and the remainder of the byte from another conversion, a conversion should not finish between the first active SCLK edge and the next inactive edge. Mode 0 Mode 0 (default operating mode) requires a read instruction to be performed to retrieve a conversion result. MS byte first format is achieved by performing a sixteen bit read from ADDR = 1. LS byte first format is achieved by performing a sixteen bit read from ADDR = 0. Reading only the most significant byte can be achieved by performing an eight bit read from ADDR = 1. To increase throughput it is possible to read the result of a conversion while a conversion is in progress. The last conversion completed prior to the first active SCLK edge of the conversion data word (not the instruction byte) is retrieved. This overlapping allows a sequence of start conversion N, read conversion N – 1, start conversion N +1, read conversion N, etc. For conversion 0, the result of conversion –1 would need to be discarded. 34 www.ti.com SLAS370C − APRIL 2002 − REVISED OCTOBER 2004 Mode 1 In this mode, the serial interface configures itself to clockout a conversion result as soon as a conversion is started. This is useful since a read instruction is not required so eight SCLK cycles are saved. This mode operates like an implied sixteen bit read instruction byte for ADDR = 1 was sent to the ADS7871 after starting the conversion. It is not necessary to wait for the end of the conversion to start clocking out conversion results. The last completed conversion at the sampling edge of SCLK is read back (whether a conversion is in progress or not). Mode 2 This mode is similar to Mode 1 except that the conversion result is provided LS byte first (equivalent to a sixteen bit read from ADDR = 0). Figure 41 and Figure 42 show timing examples of an automatic read back operation using mode 2. In Figure 41, the result of the previous conversion is retrieved. This example is for LSB first, CCLK divider = 2, and SCLK active on the rising edge. The data may be read back immediately after the start conversion instruction.

A low ESR ceramic capacitor in parallel with a large value electrolytic capacitor across the supply line furnishes the required performance. Typical values are 0.1 µF and 10 µF respectively. Noise performance of the internal voltage reference circuit is improved if a ceramic capacitor of approximately 0.01 µF is connected from VREF to ground. Increasing the value of this capacitor may bring slight improvement in the noise on VREF but increases the time required to stabilize after turn on. If the internal buffer amplifier is used, it must have an output filter capacitor connected to ground to ensure stability. A nominal value of 0.47 µF provides the best performance. Any value between 0.1 µF and 10 µF is acceptable. In installations where one ADS7871 buffer is used to drive several devices, an additional filter capacitor of 0.1 µF should be installed at each of the slave devices. The circuit in Figure 43 shows a typical installation with all control functions under control of the host embedded controller. The SCLK is active on the falling edge. If the internal voltage reference and oscillator are used, they must be turned on by setting the corresponding control bits in the device registers. These registers must be set on power up and after any reset operation.

Motorola M68HC11 (SPI) The Motorola M68HC11 has a three-wire (four if you count the slave select) serial interface that is commonly referred to as SPI (serial peripheral interface), where the data is transmitted MSB first. This interface is usually described as the microcontroller and the peripheral each having two 8-bit shift registers (one for receiving and one for transmitting). The transmit shift register of the microcontroller and the receive shift register of the peripheral are connected together and vice versa. SCK controls the shift registers. SPI is capable of full duplex operation (simultaneous read and write). The ADS7871 does not support full duplex operation. The ADS7871 can only be written to or read from. It cannot do both simultaneously. Since the M68HC11 can configure SCK to have either rising or falling edge active, the RISE/FALL pin on the ADS7871 can be in whichever state is appropriate for the desired mode of operation of the M68HC11 for compatibility with other peripherals. In the Interface Control register (see Figure 32), the 2W/3W bit should be cleared (default). The LSB bit should be clear (default). The 8051 bit should also be clear (default). Since the ADS7871 defaults to SPI mode, the M68HC11 should not need to initialize the ADS7871 Interface Configuration register after power-on or reset. Figure 44 shows a typical physical connection between an M68HC11 and a ADS7871. A pull-up resister on DOUT may be needed to keep DOUT from floating during write operations. CS may be permanently tied low if desired, but then the ADS7871 must be the only peripheral. VDD 10 kΩ typ M68HC11 ADS7871 MISO DIN MOSI DOUT SCK SCLK SS CS Figure 44.

The TXD pin provides the clock for the serial interface and RXD serves as the data input and output. The data is transferred LSB first. Best compatibility is achieved by connecting the RISE/FALL pin of the ADS7871 high (rising edge of SCLK active). In the Interface Configuration register, the LSB bit and the 8051 bit should be set. The 2W/3W bit should also be set. The first instruction after power-on or reset should be a write operation to the Interface Configuration register. Figure 45 shows a typical physical connection between an 80C51 and an ADS7871. CS may be permanently tied low if desired, but then the ADS7871 must be the only peripheral.
