GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD7942 is a 14-bit, charge redistribution, successive approximation PulSAR® ADC that operates from a single power supply, VDD, between 2.3 V to 5.5 V. It contains a low power, high speed, 14-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port. The part also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short aperture delay track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising edge, it samples an analog input, IN+, between 0 V to VREF with respect to a ground sense, IN−. The reference voltage, VREF, is applied externally and is set up to be the supply voltage. Its power scales linearly with the throughput. APPLICATIONS Battery-powered equipment Data acquisition Instrumentation Medical instruments Process controls The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic using a separate supply (VIO). The AD7942 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead LFCSP package yet fits in the same size footprint as the 8-lead MSOP or SOT-23. Operation for the AD7942 is specified from −40°C to +85°C. 1 Protected by U.S. Patent 6,703,961. Table 1.

The VREF range is from 0.5 V to VDD. REF is referred to the GND pin. Decouple REF as closely as possible to a 10 μF capacitor. Power Supply. Analog Input. IN+ is referred to IN−. The voltage range, that is, the difference between IN+ and IN−, is 0 V to VREF. Analog Input Ground Sense. Connect IN− to the analog ground plane or to a remote sense ground. Power Supply Ground. Convert Input. This input pin has multiple functions. On its leading edge, CNV initiates the conversions and selects the interface mode of the part: chain mode or CS mode. In CS mode, CNV enables the SDO pin when low. In chain mode, the data should be read when CNV is high. Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK. Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock. Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as follows: Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital data level on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 14 SCK cycles. CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can enable the serial output signals when low, and if SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete, the busy indicator feature is enabled. Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V). AI = analog input, DI = digital input, DO = digital output, and P = power. Rev.

C | Page 11 of 24 AD7942 Data Sheet TERMINOLOGY Linearity Error or Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL) Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line. Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL) In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed. Offset Error The first transition should occur at a level ½ LSB above analog ground (152.6 μV for the 0 V to 5 V range). The offset error is the deviation of the actual transition from that point. Gain Error The last transition (from 111...10 to 111...11) should occur for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full scale (4.999542 V for the 0 V to 5 V range). The gain error is the deviation of the actual level of the last transition from the ideal level after the offset has been adjusted out. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) The difference, in decibels, between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to SINAD by the following formula and is expressed in bits as follows: ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02 Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is expressed in decibels. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is expressed in decibels. Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD) SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for SINAD is expressed in decibels. Aperture Delay Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance and is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and when the input signal is held for a conversion. Transient Response The time required for the ADC to accurately acquire its input after a full-scale step function was applied. Rev.

The AD7942 is capable of converting 250,000 samples per second (250 kSPS) and powers down between conversions. When operating at 100 SPS, for example, it consumes typically 1.25 μW with a 2.5 V power supply, which is ideal for batterypowered applications. The AD7942 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it ideal for multiple, multiplexed channel applications. The AD7942 is specified from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and can be interfaced to a 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V digital logic. It is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead LFCSP that is space saving, yet allows flexible configurations. It is pin-for-pin-compatible with the 16-bit ADC AD7685. CONVERTER OPERATION The AD7942 is a successive approximation ADC based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 21 shows the simplified schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two identical arrays of 14 binary weighted capacitors, which are connected to the two comparator inputs. During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the input of the comparator are connected to GND via SW+ and SW−. All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs. Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN− inputs. When the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high, a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase starts, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the inputs (IN+ and IN−) captured at the end of the acquisition phase, is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor array between GND and REF, the comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 ... VREF/16,384). The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB, to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After the completion of this process, the part returns to the acquisition phase and the control logic generates the ADC output code and a busy signal indicator. Because the AD7942 has an on-board conversion clock, the serial clock is not required for the conversion process. Rev.

Typical Application Diagram Transfer Functions TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7942 is shown in Figure 23 and Table 7. Figure 22 shows an example of the recommended connection diagram for the AD7942 when multiple supplies are available. ADC CODE (STRAIGHT BINARY) Analog Input Figure 24 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of the AD7942. 111...111 111...110 111...101 The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 0.3 V because this causes these diodes to become forwardbiased and to start conducting current. However, these diodes can handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA maximum. For instance, these conditions could eventually occur when the input buffer (U1) supplies are different from VDD. In such a case, an input buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used to protect the part. 000...010 000...000 –FS –FS + 1 LSB +FS – 1 LSB +FS – 1.5 LSB –FS + 0.5 LSB ANALOG INPUT 04657-023 000...001 VDD Figure 23.

This is also the code for an underranged analog input (VIN+ – VIN− < VGND). This analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential signal between IN+ and IN−. By using this differential input, small signals common to both inputs are rejected, as shown in Figure 25, which represents the typical CMRR over frequency. For instance, by using IN− to sense a remote signal ground, ground potential differences between the sensor and the local ADC ground are eliminated. Rev. C | Page 14 of 24 Data Sheet AD7942 80 Driver Amplifier Choice VDD = 5V Although the AD7942 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs to meet the following requirements: CMRR (dB) 70 The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise performance of the AD7942. Note that the AD7942 produces much less noise than most other 14-bit ADCs and therefore can be driven by a noisier op amp while preserving the same or better system performance. The noise coming from the driver is filtered by the AD7942 analog input circuit, 1-pole, low-pass filter made by RIN and CIN or by the external filter, if one is used. For ac applications, the driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to that of the AD7942. Figure 14 gives the THD vs. frequency that the driver should exceed. For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver amplifier and the AD7942 analog input circuit must be able to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor array at a 14-bit level (0.006%). In the amplifier data sheet, settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This could differ significantly from the settling time at a 14-bit level and should be verified prior to driver selection. 60 40 04657-025 50 1 10 100 FREQUENCY (kHz) 1000 10000 Figure 25. Analog Input CMRR vs. Frequency During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog input, IN+, can be modeled as a parallel combination of the Capacitor CPIN and the network formed by the series connection of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance. RIN is typically 3 kΩ and is a lumped component made up of some serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor. During the conversion phase, when the switches are opened, the input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a 1-pole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effects and limits the noise. When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the AD7942 can be driven directly. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance, especially total harmonic distortion (THD). The dc performances are less sensitive to the input impedance. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the source impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown in Figure 26.

THD vs. Analog Input Frequency and Source Resistance If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value depends on the reference used.

If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values ≥ 2.2 μF can be used with a minimal impact on performance, especially on DNL. Rev. C | Page 15 of 24 AD7942 Data Sheet The AD7942 is specified over a wide operating range from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. It has, unlike other low voltage converters, a noise low enough to design a low supply (2.5 V) 14-bit resolution system with respectable performance. It uses two power supply pins: a core supply, VDD, and a digital input/output interface supply, VIO. VIO allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V and VDD. To reduce the supplies needed, the VIO and VDD can be tied together. The AD7942 is independent of power supply sequencing between VIO and VDD. Additionally, it is insensitive to power supply variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 27.

PSRR vs. Frequency The AD7942 powers down automatically at the end of each conversion phase and, therefore, the power scales linearly with the sampling rate, as shown in Figure 28.

Operating Current vs. Sampling Rate Supplying the ADC from the Reference For simplified applications, the AD7942, with its low operating current, can be supplied directly using the reference circuit, as shown in Figure 29. The reference line can be driven by either When in chain mode, the AD7942 provides a daisy-chain feature using the SDI input for cascading multiple ADCs on a single data line similar to a shift register. In either mode, the AD7942 offers the flexibility to optionally force a start bit in front of the data bits. This start bit can be used as a busy signal indicator to interrupt the digital host and trigger the data reading. Otherwise, without a busy indicator, the user must time out the maximum conversion time prior to readback. VIO 04657-028 OPERATING CURRENT (µA) VDD = 5V When in CS mode, the AD7942 is compatible with SPI, QSPI, digital hosts, and DSPs (for example, Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x or ADSP-219x). A 3-wire interface using the CNV, SCK, and SDO signals minimizes wiring connections, which is useful, for instance, in isolated applications. A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV, SCK, and SDO signals allows CNV, which initiates conversions, to be independent of the readback timing (SDI). This is useful in low jitter sampling or simultaneous sampling applications. The mode in which the part operates depends on the SDI level when the CNV rising edge occurs. The CS mode is selected if SDI is high and the chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected together, the chain mode is always selected. 1000 0.001 04657-029 Power Supply In the CS mode, if CNV or SDI is low when the ADC conversion ends (see Figure 33 and Figure 37).

When the conversion is complete the AD7942 enters the acquisition phase and powers down. When CNV goes low, the MSB is output onto SDO. The remaining data bits are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host also using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the 14th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance.

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 30 and the corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 31. With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance.

After the 14th SCK falling edge or when SDI goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance and another AD7942 can be read. This mode is most often used when multiple AD7942s are connected to an SPI-compatible digital host. A connection diagram using two AD7942s is shown in Figure 34 and the corresponding timing diagram is given in Figure 35. With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI can be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers.

Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host also using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate and consequently more AD7942s in the chain, provided the digital host has an acceptable hold time. The maximum conversion rate may be reduced due to the total readback time. For instance, with a 5 ns digital host setup time and 3 V interface, up to eight AD7942s running at a conversion rate of 220 kSPS can be daisy-chained on a 3-wire port.

The pinout of the AD7942, with all its analog signals on the left side and all its digital signals on the right side, eases this task. At least one ground plane should be used. It can be common or split between the digital and analog sections. In the case of being split, the ground plane should be joined underneath the AD7942. 04657-042 Avoid running digital lines under the device because these couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the AD7942 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV or clocks, should never run near analog signal paths. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Figure 42. Layout Example (Top Layer) The AD7942 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic inductances. This is accomplished by placing the reference decoupling ceramic capacitor close to, and ideally right up against, the REF and GND pins. Connect these pins with wide, low impedance traces. 04657-043 Finally, decouple the power supply of the AD7942, VDD and VIO, with ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, placed close to the AD7942. Connect the capacitors using short and large traces to provide low impedance paths and to reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. An example of layout following these rules is shown in Figure 42 and Figure 43.
