DDC114 SBAS255C − JUNE 2004 − REVISED APRIL 2009 Quad Current Input, 20-Bit Analog-To-Digital Converter FEATURES D D D D D D D D DESCRIPTION SINGLE-CHIP SOLUTION TO DIRECTLY MEASURE FOUR LOW-LEVEL CURRENTS HIGH PRECISION, TRUE INTEGRATING FUNCTION INTEGRAL LINEARITY: ±0.01% of Reading ±0.5ppm of FSR VERY LOW NOISE: 5.2ppm of FSR LOW POWER: 13.5mW/channel ADJUSTABLE DATA RATE: Up to 3.125kSPS PROGRAMMABLE FULL SCALE DAISY-CHAINABLE SERIAL INTERFACE The DDC114 is a 20-bit, quad channel, current-input analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. It combines both current-to-voltage and A/D conversion so that four low-level current output devices, such as photodiodes, can be directly connected to its inputs and digitized. For each of the four inputs, the DDC114 provides a dual-switched integrator front-end. This design 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 full-scale ranges from 12pC to 350pC and adjustable integration times from 50µs to 1s allow currents from fAs to µAs to be measured with outstanding precision. Low-level linearity is ±0.5ppm of the full-scale range and noise is 5.2ppm of the full-scale range. APPLICATIONS D D D D CT SCANNER DAS PHOTODIODE SENSORS INFRARED PYROMETERS LIQUID/GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY Two modes of operation are provided. In Low-Power mode, total power dissipation is only 13.5mW per channel with a maximum data rate of 2.5kSPS. High-Speed mode supports data rates up to 3.125kSPS with a corresponding dissipation of 18mW per channel. Protected by US Patent #5841310 AVDD VREF DVDD The DDC114 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.

The device contains four 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 eight integrators are switched to two delta-sigma (∆Σ) converters via two four-input multiplexers. With the AVDD VREF DDC114 in the continuous integration mode, the output of the integrators from one side of both of the inputs will be digitized while the other two integrators are in the integration mode, as illustrated in the timing diagram in Figure 2. 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.

Basic Integration and Conversion Timing for the DDC114 (continuous mode) 8 ""# www.ti.com SBAS255C − JUNE 2004 − REVISED APRIL 2009 The digital interface of the DDC114 provides the digital results via a synchronous serial interface consisting of differential data clocks (DCLK and DCLK), a valid data pin (DVALID), differential serial data output pins (DOUT and DOUT), and differential serial data input pins (DIN and DIN). The DDC114 contains only two A/D converters, so the conversion process is interleaved (see Figure 2). The integration and conversion process is fundamentally independent of the data retrieval process. Consequently, the CLK frequency and DCLK frequencies need not be the same. DIN and DIN are only used when multiple converters are cascaded, and otherwise should both be tied to DGND. implement the integration cycle. The timing relationships of all of the switches shown in Figure 3 are illustrated in Figure 4. Figure 4 is used to conceptualize the operation of the integrator input stage of the DDC114 and should not be used as an exact timing tool for design. See Figure 5 for the block diagrams of the reset, integrate, wait and convert states of the integrator section of the DDC114. This internal switching network is controlled externally with the convert pin (CONV), range selection pins (RANGE0−RANGE2), 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. DEVICE OPERATION The noninverting inputs of the integrators are connected to ground. Consequently, the DDC114 analog ground should be as clean as possible. The range switches, along with the internal and external capacitors (CF), are shown in parallel between the inverting input and output of the 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 DDC114 is an analog integrator, as shown in Figure 3. In this diagram, only Input IN1 is shown.

Diagrams for the Four Configurations of the Front End Integrators of the DDC114 10 ""# www.ti.com SBAS255C − JUNE 2004 − REVISED APRIL 2009 Voltage Reference 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). 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). 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 charge needed by the ∆Σ converter. For an integration time of 400µs, this charge translates to an average VREF current of approximately 75µA. 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 800µs lowers the average VREF current to 37.5µA. 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. Now the output voltage of the side A operational amplifier is presented to the input of the ∆Σ A/D converter (see Figure 5d). 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. Integration Capacitors There are eight different capacitors available on-chip for both sides of every channel in the DDC114. These internal capacitors are trimmed in production to achieve the specified performance for range error of the DDC114. The range control pins (RANGE0−RANGE2) change the capacitor value for all four integrators. Consequently, all inputs and both sides of each input will always have the same full-scale range. Table 1 shows the capacitor value selected for each range selection. 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. Following the buffer are capacitors placed close to the DDC114 VREF pin. Even though the circuit in Figure 6 might appear to be unstable because of 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, producing large offsets. Table 1.

Recommended External Voltage Reference Circuit for Best Low-Noise Operation with the DDC114 11 ""# www.ti.com SBAS255C − JUNE 2004 − REVISED APRIL 2009 DDC114 Frequency Response Test Mode The frequency response of the DDC114 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. When Test Mode is used, the inputs (IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4) are disconnected from the DDC114 integrators to enable the user to measure a zero input signal regardless of the current supplied to the inputs. In addition, packets of charge can be transferred to the integrators in 11pC intervals to measure non-zero values. The test mode works with both the continuous and non-continuous modes. The timing diagram for the test mode is shown in Figure 8 with the timing specifications given in Table 2. To enter Test Mode, hold TEST high while CONV transitions. If TEST is held high during the entire integration period, the integrators measure a zero value. This mode can be used to help debug a design or perform diagnostic tests. To apply packets of charge during Test Mode, simply strobe TEST low then high before the next CONV transition. Each rising edge of TEST causes approximately 11pC of charge to be transferred to the integrators. This charge transfer is independent of the integration time. Data retrieval during Test Mode is identical to normal operation. To exit Test Mode, take TEST low and allow several cycles after exiting before using the data. 0 G ain (dB) −10 −20 −30 −40 −50 1 TINT 0.1 TINT 10 TINT 100 TINT Frequency Figure 7.

The DDC114 contains only two A/D converters, so the conversion process is interleaved (see Figure 2, page 8). The integration and conversion processes are independent of the data retrieval process. Consequently, the CLK frequency and DCLK frequencies need not be the same. DIN and DIN are used when multiple converters are cascaded. Cascading or daisy-chaining greatly simplifies the interconnection and routing of the digital outputs in cases where a large number of converters are needed. Refer to the Cascading Multiple Converters section of this data sheet for more detail. High-Speed and Low-Power Modes (HISPD/LOPWR) The HISPD/LOPWR input controls the power dissipation and in turn the maximum allowable CLK frequency and data rate, as shown in Table 4. With HISPD/LOPWR = 0, the Low-Power Mode is selected with a typical 13.5mW/ channel and a maximum data rate of 2.5kSPS. Setting HISPD/LOPWR = 1 selects the High-Speed Mode, which supports a maximum data rate of 3.125kSPS with a corresponding typical power of 18.0mW/channel. Table 4. HISPD/LOPWR Pin Operation HISPD/ LOPWR MODE TYPICAL POWER/ CHANNEL MAXIMUM CLK FREQUENCY (CLK_4X = 0) MAXIMUM DATA RATE 0 Low Power 13.5mW/ch 4.0MHz 2.5kSPS 1 High Speed 18.0mW/ch 4.8MHz 3.125kSPS Data Valid (DVALID) Complementary Signals (DCLK, DIN, and DOUT) The DDC114 provides optional complementary inputs (DCLK, DIN) to help reduce digital coupling to the analog inputs. If using these inputs, connect a complementary signal to each. If these inputs are not connected on the DDC114, they should be tied to DGND. DOUT is a complementary output designed to drive DIN. If not using DOUT, leave it floating. System and Data Clocks (CLK and CONV) The system clock is supplied to CLK and the data clock is supplied to DCLK. 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 DDC114s, pay close attention to the DCLK distribution on the printed circuit board (PCB). In particular, make sure to minimize skew in the DCLK signal as this can lead to timing violations in the serial interface specifications. See the Cascading Multiple Converters section for more details. System Clock Divider (CLK_4X) The DVALID signal indicates that data is 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 DVALID eliminates any concern about this relationship. If data read back is timed from CONV, wait the maximum value of t7 or t8 to insure data is valid. Reset (RESET) The DDC114 is reset asynchronously by taking the RESET input low, as shown in Figure 9. Make sure the reset pulse is at least 50µs wide. After resetting the DDC114, wait at least four conversions before using the data. It is very important to make sure the RESET is glitch free to avoid unintended resets. The RESET pin is used during power-up; see the Power-Up Sequence section for more details. > 50µs RESET The CLK_4X input enables an internal divider on the system clock as shown in Table 3. When CLK_4X = 1, the system clock is divided by four. This allows a 4X faster system clock, which in turn provides a finer quantization of the integration time as the CONV signal needs to be synchronized with the system clock for the best performance. Table 3. CLK_4X Pin Operation CLK_4X PIN CLK DIVIDER VALUE CLK FREQUENCY INTERNAL CLOCK FREQUENCY 0 1 4MHz 4MHz 1 4 16MHz 4MHz Figure 9. Reset Timing Convert (CONV) CONV controls the integration time (TINT). For optimum analog performance, make sure CONV is synchronized to CLK. This recommendation implies that while SPEED is low, TINT needs to be adjusted in steps of 250ns if CLK_4X is low and CLK = 4MHz. If CLK_4X is high and CLK = 16MHz, this allows TINT to be adjusted in steps of 62.5ns. 13 ""# www.ti.com SBAS255C − JUNE 2004 − REVISED APRIL 2009 Conversion Rate The conversion rate of the DDC114 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 DDC114 will operate in continuous mode. When the DDC114 is in 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 DDC114 will switch into a non-continuous mode. In non-continuous 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 DDC114—continuous and non-continuous modes—are described below. Continuous and Non-Continuous Operational Modes Figure 10 shows the state diagram of the DDC114. In all, there are eight states. Table 5 provides a brief explanation of each state. Table 5. State Descriptions STATE MODE DESCRIPTION 1 Ncont Complete m/r/az of side A, then side B (if previous state is state 4). Initial power-up state when CONV is initially held HIGH. 2 Ncont Prepare side A for integration. 3 Cont Integrate on side A. 4 Cont Integrate on side B; m/r/az on side A. 5 Cont Integrate on side A; m/r/az on side B. 6 Cont Integrate on side B. 7 Ncont Prepare side B for integration. 8 Ncont Complete m/r/az of side B, then side A (if previous state is state 5). Initial power-up state when CONV is initially held LOW. 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 internallygenerated signal not available to the user. It is active whenever a measurement/reset/auto-zero (m/r/az) cycle is in progress. 14 CONV|mbsy 1 2 CONV × mbsy Ncont Ncont CONV 3 Int A Cont CONV × mbsy CONV 4 5 CONV × mbsy Int B/Meas A Cont CONV × mbsy Int A/Meas B Cont CONV 6 CONV × mbsy Int B Cont CONV 7 Ncont 8 CONV × mbsy Ncont CONV|mbsy Figure 10. Integrate/Measure State Diagram During cont mode, mbsy is not active when CONV toggles. The non-integrating 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 3-6. Two of the states, 3 and 6, only perform an integration (no m/r/az cycle). mbsy becomes important when operating in the ncont mode, states 1, 2, 7, and 8. Whenever CONV is toggled while mbsy is active, the DDC114 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 ncont states, the inputs to the DDC114 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 insure this relationship during ncont mode. When power is first applied to the DDC114, 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. ""# www.ti.com SBAS255C − JUNE 2004 − REVISED APRIL 2009 TIMING EXAMPLES mbsy is shown next. Finally, DVALID is given. As described in the data sheet, DVALID goes active low when data is ready to be retrieved from the DDC114. It stays low until DCLK is taken high and then back low by the user. The text below the DVALID pulse indicates the side of the data available to be read, and arrows help match the data to the corresponding integration. The signals illustrated in Figure 11 through Figure 19 are drawn at approximately the same scale. Cont Mode A few timing diagrams help illustrate the operation of the state machine. These diagrams are shown in Figure 11 through Figure 19. Table 6 gives generalized timing specifications in units of CLK periods for CLK_4X = 0. If CLK_4X = 1, these values increase by a factor of four because of the internal clock divider. Values (in µs) for Table 6 can be easily found for a given CLK. For example, if CLK = 4MHz, then a CLK period = 0.25µs. t6 in Table 6 would then be 367.50 ± 0.125µs. In Figure 11, the first state is ncont state 8. The DDC114 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, or t6, is the same time that determines the boundary between the cont and ncont modes described earlier in the Overview section. DVALID goes low after CONV toggles in time t7, indicating that data is ready to be retrieved. As shown in Figure 11, there are two values for t6 and t7. The reason for this is discussed in the Special Considerations section. Table 6.

It is not recommended to use Range 0 when operating in non-continuous mode. Figure 13 illustrates operation in ncont mode. The integrations come in pairs (that is, sides A/B or sides B/A) followed by a time during which no integrations occur. During that time, the previous integrations are being measured, reset and auto-zeroed. Before the DDC114 can advance to states 3 or 6, both sides A and B must be finished with the m/r/az cycle, which takes time t10. When the m/r/az cycles are completed, time t11 is needed to prepare the next side for integration. This time is required for ncont mode because the m/r/az cycle of ncont mode is slightly different from that of cont mode. After the first integration ends, DVALID goes low in time t8. This time is the same as in cont mode. The second data will be ready in time t9 after the first data is ready. One result of the naming convention used in this data sheet is that when the DDC114 is operating in ncont mode, it passes through both ncont mode states and cont mode states. For example, in Figure 13, the state pattern is 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 ... where 3 and 4 are cont mode states. Ncont mode, by definition, means that for some portion of the time, neither side A nor B is integrating. States that perform an integration are labeled cont mode states, while those that do not are called ncont mode states. Since integrations are performed in ncont mode, just not continuously, some cont mode states must be used in an ncont mode state pattern.

Care must be exercised when using a square wave to generate CONV. There are certain integration times that must be avoided since they produce very short intervals for state 2 (or state 7 if CONV is inverted). As seen in the state diagram, the state progresses from 2 to 3 as soon as CONV is high. The state machine does not insure that the duration of state 2 is long enough to properly prepare the next side for integration (t11). This must be done by the user with proper timing of CONV. For example, if CONV is a square wave with TINT = 970 CLK periods, state 2 will only be 9 CLK periods long; therefore, t11 will not be met. Looking at the state diagram, one can see that the CONV pattern needed to generate a given state progression is not unique. Upon entering states 1 or 8, the DDC114 remains in those states until mbsy goes low, independent of CONV. As long as the m/r/az cycle is underway, the state machine ignores CONV (see Figure 10, page 14). The top two signals in Figure 16 are different CONV patterns that produce the same state. This feature allows flexibility in generating ncont mode CONV patterns. For example, the DDC114 Evaluation Fixture operates in ncont mode by generating a square wave with pulse width < t6.

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 cont mode, TINT can be < t6. This is allowed because there is no simultaneous m/r/az cycle on the side B during state 3—there is no need to wait for it to finish before ending the integration on side A. Changing from cont to ncont mode occurs whenever TINT < t6. Figure 18 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 DDC114 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.

The digital input pin FORMAT selects how many bits are used in the output word. When FORMAT is high (1), 20 bits are used. When FORMAT is low (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, from board leakages for example, from clipping the reading. This offset is approximately 0.4% of the positive full−scale.

Data is shifted out on the falling edge of the data clock, DCLK. Make sure not to retrieve data while CONV changes as this can introduce noise. Stop activity on DCLK at least 10µs before or after a CONV transition. Setting the FORMAT pin = 0 (16-bit output word) reduces the time needed to retrieve data by 20%, since there are fewer bits to shift out. This time reduction can be useful in multichannel systems requiring only 16 bits of resolution. (1) Excludes the effects of noise, INL, offset, and gain errors.

As illustrated in Figure 26, DVALID goes low in time t30 after the first integration completes. If TINT is shorter than this time, all of t31 is available to retrieve data before the other side data is ready. For TINT > t30, the first integration data is ready before the second integration completes. Data retrieval must be delayed until the second integration completes, leaving less time available for retrieval. The time available is t31 – (TINT – t30). The second integration data 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 (t28, t29) and be completed before new data is ready (t26). For the absolute maximum time for data retrieval, data can be retrieved before and after CONV toggles. Nearly all of TINT is available for data retrieval. Figure 25 illustrates how this is done by combining the two previous methods. You must pause the retrieval during CONV toggling to prevent digital noise, as discussed previously, and finish before the next data is ready.

VA AVDD 10µF DDC114 VD DVDD 10µF LAYOUT AGND 0.1µF DGND 0.1µF POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING Separate Supplies Both AVDD and DVDD should be as quiet as possible. It is particularly important to eliminate noise from AVDD that is non-synchronous with the DDC114 operation. Figure 27 illustrates two acceptable ways to supply power to the DDC114. The first case shows two separate +5V supplies for AVDD and DVDD. In this case, each +5V supply of the DDC114 should be bypassed with 10µF solid tantalum capacitors and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. The second case shows the DVDD power supply derived from the AVDD supply with a < 10Ω isolation resistor. In both cases, the 0.1µF capacitors should be placed as close to the DDC114 package as possible. 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). +5V AVDD 10µF AGND 0.1µF DDC114 < 10Ω DVDD DGND 0.1µF Single +5V Supply THERMAL PAD Figure 27.

Figure 29 illustrates an acceptable approach to this problem. A PC ground plane is placed around the inputs of the DDC114. This shield helps minimize coupled noise into the input pins. As with any precision circuit, careful PCB layout ensures the best performance. It is essential to make short, direct interconnections and avoid stray wiring capacitance—particularly at the analog input pins. Digital signals should be kept as far from the analog input signals as possible on the PCB. This approach reduces leakage effects by surrounding these sensitive pins with a low impedance analog ground. Leakage currents from other portions of the circuit will flow harmlessly to the low impedance analog ground rather than into the analog input stage of the DDC114. Input shielding practices should be taken into consideration when designing the circuit layout for the DDC114. The inputs to the DDC114 are high impedance and extremely sensitive to extraneous noise.
