GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7091 is a 12-bit successive approximation register
analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) that offers ultralow
power consumption (typically 367 μA at 3 V and 1 MSPS) while
achieving fast throughput rates (1 MSPS with a 50 MHz SCLK).
The AD7091 operates from a single 2.09 V to 5.25 V power
supply. The AD7091 also features an on-chip conversion clock
and a high speed serial interface.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using
a CONVST signal and an internal oscillator. The AD7091 has a
serial interface that allows data to be read after the conversion
while achieving a 1 MSPS throughput rate. The AD7091 uses
advanced design and process techniques to achieve very low
power dissipation at high throughput rates.
Rev. A
The reference is derived internally from VDD. This design allows
the widest dynamic input range to the ADC; that is, the analog
input range for the AD7091 is from 0 V to VDD.

Description
Power Supply Input. The VDD range is from 2.09 V to 5.25 V. Decouple this supply pin to GND. Typical recommended capacitor values are 10 µF and 0.1 µF.
Analog Input. The single-ended analog input range is from 0 V to VDD.
Decoupling Capacitor Pin for Voltage Output from Internal Low Dropout (LDO) Regulator. Decouple this output
pin separately to GND using a 1 μF capacitor. The voltage at this pin is 1.8 V typical.
Ground. This pin is the ground reference point for all circuitry on the AD7091. The analog input signal should
be referred to this GND voltage.
Conversion Start. Active low, edge triggered logic input. The falling edge of CONVST places the track-and-hold
into hold mode and initiates a conversion.
Chip Select. Active low logic input. The serial bus is enabled when CS is held low; in this mode CS is used to frame
the output data on the SPI bus.
Serial Clock. This pin acts as the serial clock input.
Serial Data Output. The conversion output data is supplied to this pin as a serial data stream. The bits are
clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data is provided MSB first.
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad is not connected internally. For increased reliability of the solder joints and for
maximum thermal capability, solder the exposed pad to the substrate, GND.

AD7091
TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. For the
AD7091, the endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale
(a point 0.5 LSB below the first code transition) and full scale
(a point 0.5 LSB above the last code transition).
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the measured ratio of signal to noise and distortion
at the output of the ADC. The signal is the rms value of the sine
wave, and noise is the rms sum of all nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (fSAMPLE/2), including harmonics,
but excluding dc.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
DNL is the difference between the measured and the ideal
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Total Unadjusted Error (TUE)
TUE is a comprehensive specification that includes the gain,
linearity, and offset errors.
Offset Error
Offset error is the deviation of the first code transition (00 … 000
to 00 … 001) from the ideal (such as GND + 0.5 LSB).
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7091, THD is defined as
Gain Error
Gain error is the deviation of the last code transition (111 … 110
to 111 … 111) from the ideal (such as VDD − 1.5 LSB) after the
offset error has been adjusted out.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode after the
end of a conversion. The track-and-hold acquisition time is the
time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to
reach its final value, within ±0.5 LSB, after a conversion.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the measured ratio of signal to noise at the output of the
ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the fundamental. Noise
is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling
frequency (fSAMPLE/2), excluding dc.
The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the
digitization process: the more levels, the smaller the quantization
noise. The theoretical signal-to-noise ratio for an ideal N-bit
converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal-to-Noise Ratio = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
Therefore, for a 12-bit converter, the SNR is 74 dB.
THD (dB ) = 20 log
V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2
V1
where:
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second
through the sixth harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR, also known as peak harmonic or spurious noise, is defined
as the ratio of the rms value of the next largest component in the
ADC output spectrum (up to fSAMPLE/2 and excluding dc) to the
rms value of the fundamental.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measured interval between the leading edge of
the sampling clock and the point at which the ADC samples data.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter is the sample-to-sample variation in the effective
point in time at which the data is sampled.
Full Power Bandwidth
Full power bandwidth is the input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 0.1 dB or
3 dB for a full-scale input.

AD7091
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD7091 is a 12-bit successive approximation register
analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) that offers ultralow
power consumption (typically 367 µA at 3 V and 1 MSPS) while
achieving fast throughput rates (1 MSPS with a 50 MHz SCLK).
The part operates from a single power supply in the range of
2.09 V to 5.25 V.
The AD7091 provides an on-chip track-and-hold amplifier
and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a serial interface
housed in a tiny 8-lead LFCSP package. This package offers
considerable space-saving advantages compared with alternative
solutions. The serial clock input accesses data from the part. The
clock for the SAR ADC is generated internally.
The analog input range is 0 V to VDD. An external reference is
not required for the ADC, nor is there a reference on chip. The
reference voltage for the AD7091 is derived from the power
supply and, thus, provides the widest dynamic input range of
0 V to VDD.
When the ADC starts a conversion, SW2 opens and SW1 moves
to Position B, causing the comparator to become unbalanced (see
Figure 16). The control logic and the charge redistribution DAC
are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the
sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a balanced
condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion
is complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code.
Figure 17 shows the ADC transfer function.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The AD7091 also features a power-down option to save power
between conversions. The power-down feature is implemented
using the standard serial interface, as described in the Modes of
Operation section.
The output coding of the AD7091 is straight binary. The designed
code transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB
values, such as 0.5 LSB, 1.5 LSB, and so on. The LSB size for the
AD7091 is VDD/4096. The ideal transfer characteristic for the
AD7091 is shown in Figure 17.

The AD7091 is a SAR ADC based around a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show simplified schematics
of the ADC.

AD7091
VDD
Figure 19 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7091.
A positive power supply in the range of 2.09 V to 5.25 V should
be connected to the VDD pin. The reference is derived internally
from VDD and, for this reason, VDD should be well decoupled to
achieve the specified performance; typical values for the decoupling
capacitors are 100 nF and 10 μF. The analog input range is 0 V
to VDD. The typical value for the regulator bypass decoupling
capacitor (REGCAP) is 1 μF. The conversion result is output in
a 12-bit word with the MSB first.

Figure 18. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
Alternatively, because the supply current required by the AD7091
is so low, a precision reference can be used as the supply source
to the part. A reference from the REF19x or ADR34xx voltage
reference family (REF195 or ADR3450 for 5 V, and REF193 or
ADR3430 for 3 V) can be used to supply the required voltage
to the ADC. This configuration is especially useful if the power
supply is quite noisy, or if the system supply voltages are at some
value other than 5 V or 3 V, such as 15 V.
Capacitor C1 in Figure 18 is typically about 1 pF and can
primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance of a switch.
This resistor is typically about 500 Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC
sampling capacitor and typically has a capacitance of 3.6 pF.
In applications where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) are critical, the analog input should be driven from
a low impedance source. Large source impedances significantly
affect the ac performance of the ADC and may necessitate the
use of an input buffer amplifier, as shown in Figure 19. The choice
of the op amp is a function of the particular application.
If the busy indicator function is required, connect a pull-up
resistor of typically 100 kΩ to VDD to the SDO pin (see Figure 19).
In addition, for applications in which power consumption is
a concern, the power-down mode can be used to improve the
power performance of the ADC (see the Modes of Operation
section for more information).
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source
impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic distortion
(THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as the source
impedance increases and performance degrades. Figure 9 shows
a graph of THD vs. source impedance when using a supply
voltage of 3 V and a sampling rate of 1 MSPS.
ANALOG INPUT
Figure 18 shows an equivalent circuit of the AD7091 analog
input structure. The D1 and D2 diodes provide ESD protection
for the analog input. To prevent the diodes from becoming
forward-biased and conducting current, ensure that the analog
input signal never exceeds VDD by more than 300 mV. These diodes
can conduct a maximum of 10 mA without causing irreversible
damage to the part.
To achieve the specified performance, use an external filter—such
as the one-pole, low-pass RC filter shown in Figure 19—on the
analog input connected to the AD7091.

MODES OF OPERATION
To read back data stored in the conversion result register, wait until
the conversion is complete, and then pull CS low. The conversion
data is subsequently clocked out on the SDO pin (see Figure 20).
Because the output shift register is 12 bits wide, data is shifted out
of the device as a 12-bit word under the control of the serial clock
input (SCLK). After reading back the data, the user can pull
CONVST low again to start another conversion after the tQUIET
time has elapsed.
The mode of operation of the AD7091 is selected by controlling
the logic level of the CONVST signal when a conversion is complete.
The two modes of operation are normal mode and power-down
mode. These modes of operation provide flexible power management options, allowing optimization of the power dissipation to
throughput rate ratio for different application requirements.
The logic level of the CONVST pin at the end of a conversion
determines whether the AD7091 remains in normal mode or
enters power-down mode (see the Normal Mode section and the
Power-Down Mode section). Similarly, if the device is in powerdown mode, CONVST controls whether the device returns to
normal mode or remains in power-down mode.
Power-Down Mode
The power-down mode of operation is intended for use in applications where slower throughput rates and lower power consumption
are required. In this mode, the ADC can be powered down after
each conversion or after a series of conversions performed at a
high throughput rate, with the ADC powered down for relatively
long durations between these bursts of several conversions. When
the AD7091 is in power-down mode, the serial interface remains
active even though all analog circuitry is powered down.
Normal Mode
The normal mode of operation is intended to achieve the fastest
throughput rate performance. In normal mode, the AD7091
remains fully powered at all times, so power-up times are not
a concern. Figure 20 shows the general timing diagram of the
AD7091 in normal mode.
To enter power-down mode, pull CONVST low and keep it low
prior to the end of a conversion (denoted as EOC in Figure 21).
After the conversion is complete, the logic level of the CONVST
pin is tested. If the CONVST signal is logic low, the part enters
power-down mode.
In normal mode, the conversion is initiated on the falling edge of
CONVST, as described in the Serial Interface section. To ensure
that the part remains fully powered at all times, CONVST must
return high after t7 and remain high until the conversion is complete. At the end of a conversion (denoted as EOC in Figure 20),
the logic level of CONVST is tested.
The serial interface of the AD7091 is functional in power-down
mode; therefore, users can read back the conversion result after
the part enters power-down mode.

AD7091
To exit power-down mode and power up the AD7091, pull
CONVST high at any time. On the rising edge of CONVST, the
device begins to power up. The power-up time of the AD7091
is 100 µs. To start the next conversion, operate the interface as
described in the Normal Mode section.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The two modes of operation for the AD7091—normal mode
and power-down mode (see the Modes of Operation section for
more information)—produce different power vs. throughput
rate performances. Using a combination of normal mode and
power-down mode achieves the optimum power performance.
To achieve optimum static current consumption, SCLK should
be in burst mode and CS should idle high. Failure to adhere to
these guidelines results in increased static current.
Improved power consumption for the AD7091 can also be
achieved by carefully selecting the VDD supply (see Figure 13).
Power Consumption in Normal Mode
With a 3 V VDD supply and a throughput rate of 1 MSPS, the IDD
current consumption for the part in normal operational mode is
367 μA (composed of 9.1 μA of static current and 357.9 μA of
dynamic current during conversion). The dynamic current consumption is directly proportional to the throughput rate.
The following example calculates the power consumption of
the AD7091 when operating in normal mode with a 500 kSPS
throughput rate and a 3 V supply.
The contribution to the total power dissipated by the normal
mode static operation is
9.1 μA × 3 V = 27 μW
Therefore, the total power dissipated at 500 kSPS is
537 μW + 27 μW = 564 μW
Power Consumption Using a Combination of Normal
Mode and Power-Down Mode
A combination of normal mode and power-down mode
achieves the optimum power performance. This operation
can be performed at constant sampling rates of <10 kSPS.
Figure 22 shows the AD7091 conversion sequence using a
combination of normal mode and power-down mode with a
throughput of 5 kSPS. With a VDD supply voltage of 3 V, the
static current is 9.1 μA. The dynamic current is 357.9 μA at
1 MSPS. The current consumption during power-down mode
is 324 nA. A conversion takes typically 650 ns to complete, and
the AD7091 takes 100 μs to power up from power-down mode.
The dynamic conversion time contributes 5 μW to the overall
power dissipation as follows:
((5 kSPS/1 MSPS) × 357.9 μA) × 3 V = 5 μW
The contribution to the total power dissipated by the normal
mode static operation and the power-down mode is
(((100 μs + 650 ns)/200 μs) × 9.1 μA) × 3 V +
((99.4 μs/200 μs) × 324 nA) × 3 V = 14 μW
The dynamic conversion time contributes 537 μW to the overall
power dissipation as follows:
Therefore, the total power dissipated at 5 kSPS is
5 μW + 14 μW = 19 μW
((500 kSPS/1 MSPS) × 357.9 μA) × 3 V = 537 μW

A multiplexer can be used in the signal chain to switch multiple
analog input signals to the AD7091. In such applications,
control the multiplexer switch time to ensure accurate analogto digital-conversion of the input signals. To allow the AD7091
to fully acquire the input signal, the multiplexer should
switch in the channel to be converted a minimum of 350 ns
before initiating a conversion. The multiplexer should also
hold this channel at the AD7091 for a minimum of 200 ns after
the CONVST falling edge.

AD7091
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD7091 serial interface consists of four signals: SCLK,
SDO, CONVST, and CS. The serial interface is used to access
data from the result register and to control the modes of operation of the device.




The busy indicator allows the host to detect when the SDO
pin exits the three-state condition after the end of a conversion.
When the busy indicator is enabled, 13 SCLK cycles are required:
12 clock cycles to propagate the data and an additional clock cycle
to return the SDO pin to the three-state condition.
The SCLK pin is the serial clock input for the device.
The SDO pin outputs the conversion result; data transfers
take place with respect to SCLK.
The CONVST pin is used to initiate the conversion process
and to select the mode of operation of the AD7091 (see the
Modes of Operation section).
The CS pin is used to frame the data. The falling edge of CS
takes the SDO line out of a high impedance state. A rising
edge on CS returns the SDO line to a high impedance state.
To enable the busy indicator feature, a conversion must first
be started. A high-to-low transition on CONVST initiates a
conversion. This transition places the track-and-hold into hold
mode and samples the analog input at this point. If the user does
not want the AD7091 to enter power-down mode, CONVST
should be taken high before the end of the conversion.
A conversion requires 650 ns to complete. When the conversion
process is finished, the track-and-hold returns to track mode.
Before the end of a conversion, pull CS low to enable the busy
indicator (see Figure 26).
The logic level of CS at the end of a conversion determines
whether the busy indicator is enabled. This feature affects the
propagation of the MSB with respect to CS and SCLK.
The conversion result is shifted out of the device as a 12-bit
word under the control of SCLK and the logic level of CS at the
end of a conversion. At the end of a conversion, SDO is driven
low. SDO remains low until the MSB (DB11) of the conversion
result is clocked out on the first falling edge of SCLK. DB10 to
DB0 are shifted out on the subsequent falling edges of SCLK.
The 13th SCLK falling edge returns SDO to a high impedance
state. Data is propagated on SCLK falling edges and is valid on
both the rising and falling edges of the next SCLK. The timing
diagram for this operation is shown in Figure 26.
BUSY INDICATOR ENABLED
When the busy indicator is enabled, the SDO pin can be used as
an interrupt signal to indicate that a conversion is complete. The
connection diagram for this configuration is shown in Figure 25.
Note that a pull-up resistor to VDD is required on the SDO pin.

The conversion result is shifted out of the device as a 12-bit
word under the control of SCLK and CS. The MSB (Bit DB11)
is clocked out on the falling edge of CS. DB10 to DB0 are shifted
out on the subsequent falling edges of SCLK. The 12th SCLK
falling edge returns SDO to a high impedance state. After all the
data is clocked out, pull CS high again. Data is propagated on
SCLK falling edges and is valid on both the rising and falling
edges of the next SCLK. The timing diagram for this operation
is shown in Figure 27.
To operate the AD7091 without the busy indicator, a conversion
must first be started. A high-to-low transition on CONVST initiates a conversion. This transition places the track-and-hold into
hold mode and samples the analog input at this point. If the user
does not want the AD7091 to enter power-down mode, CONVST
should be taken high before the end of the conversion.
A conversion requires 650 ns to complete. When the conversion
process is finished, the track-and-hold returns to track mode. To
prevent the busy indicator from becoming enabled, ensure that
CS is pulled high before the end of the conversion (see Figure 27).
If another conversion is required, pull CONVST low again and
repeat the cycle.

SOFTWARE RESET
INTERFACING WITH AN 8-/16-BIT SPI BUS
The AD7091 requires the user to initiate a software reset upon
power-up. Note that failure to apply the correct software reset
command may result in a device malfunction. The timing
diagram for the software reset operation is shown in Figure 28.
It is also possible to interface the AD7091 with a conventional
8-/16-bit SPI bus.
Performing conversions and reading results can be achieved by
configuring the host SPI interface for 16 bits, which results in
providing an additional four SCLK cycles to complete a conversion compared with the standard interface methods (see the
Busy Indicator Enabled section and the Busy Indicator Disabled
section).
To issue a software reset,

Start a conversion by pulling CONVST low.
Read back the conversion result by pulling CS low after the
conversion is complete.
Between the second and eighth SCLK cycles, pull CS high
to short cycle the read operation.
At the end of the next conversion, the software reset is
executed.
After the 13th SCLK falling edge with the busy indicator enabled
or after the 12th SCLK falling edge with the busy indicator disabled,
SDO returns to a high impedance state. The additional four bits
should be treated as don’t care bits by the host. All other timings
are as shown in Figure 26 and Figure 27, with tQUIET starting after
the 16th SCLK cycle.
As soon as a software reset is issued, the user can start another
conversion by pulling CONVST low.
A software reset can be performed by configuring the SPI bus for
eight bits and performing the operation described in the Software
Reset section.
