The AD7887 is capable of 125 kSPS throughput rate. The input track-andhold acquires a signal in 500 ns and features a single-ended sampling scheme. The output coding for the AD7887 is straight binary and the part is capable of converting full power signals up to 2.5 MHz. The AD7887 can be configured for either dual or single channel operation, via the on-chip Control Register. There is a default single-channel mode that allows the AD7887 to be operated as a read-only ADC. In single-channel operation, there is one analog input (AIN0) with the VREF/AIN1 pin assuming its VREF function. This VREF pin allows the user access to the part’s internal +2.5 V reference, or the VREF pin can be overdriven by an external reference to provide the reference voltage for the part. This external reference voltage has a range of +2.5 V to VDD. The analog input range on AIN0 is 0 to +VREF. In dual-channel operation, the VREF/AIN1 pin assumes its AIN1 function, providing a second analog input channel. In this case, the reference voltage for the part is provided via the VDD pin. As a result, the input voltage range on both the AIN0 and AIN1 inputs is 0 to VDD. SPORT DIN CS DOUT SCLK CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation of typically 2 mW for normal operation and 3 µW in power-down mode. The part is available in an 8-lead, 0.15-inch-wide narrow body SOIC and an 8-lead µSOIC package. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS 1. Smallest 12-bit dual/single-channel ADC; 8-lead µSOIC package. 2. Lowest power 12-bit dual/single-channel ADC. 3. Flexible power management options including automatic power-down after conversion. 4. Read-Only ADC capability. 5. Analog input range from 0 V to VREF. 6. Versatile serial I/O port (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatible). SPI and QSPI are trademarks of Motorola, Inc.

The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor.

B Function Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the AD7887 and also frames the serial data transfer. When the AD7887 operates in its default mode, the CS pin also acts as the shutdown pin such that with the CS pin high, the AD7887 is in its power-down mode. Power Supply Input. The VDD range for the AD7887 is from +2.7 V to +5.25 V. When the AD7887 is configured for two-channel operation, this pin also provides the reference source for the part. Ground Pin. This pin is the ground reference point for all circuitry on the AD7887. In systems with separate AGND and DGND planes, these planes should be tied together as close as possible to this GND pin. Where this is not possible, this GND pin should connect to the AGND plane. Analog Input 1/Voltage Reference Input. In single-channel mode, this pin becomes the reference input/ output. In this case, the user can either access the internal +2.5 V reference or overdrive the internal reference with the voltage applied to this pin. The reference voltage range for an externally-applied reference is +1.2 V to VDD. In two-channel mode, this pin provides the second analog input channel AIN1. The input voltage range on AIN1 is 0 to VDD. Analog Input 0. In single-channel mode, this is the analog input and the input voltage range is 0 to VREF. In dual-channel mode, it has an analog input range of 0 to VDD. Data In. Logic Input. Data to be written to the AD7887’s Control Register is provided on this input and is clocked into the register on the rising edge of SCLK (see Control Register section). The AD7887 can be operated as a single-channel read-only ADC by tying the DIN line permanently to GND. Data Out. Logic Output. The conversion result from the AD7887 is provided on this output as a serial data stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data stream consists of four leading zeros followed by the 12 bits of conversion data, which is provided MSB first. Serial Clock. Logic Input. SCLK provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part and writing serial data to the Control Register. This clock input is also used as the clock source for the AD7887’s conversion process. –5– AD7887 TERMINOLOGY Integral Nonlinearity Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise 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 fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it will be a noise peak. This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1/2 LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1/2 LSB above the last code transition. Differential Nonlinearity This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC. Intermodulation Distortion With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation distortion terms are those for which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For example, the second order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), while the third order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and (fa – 2fb). Offset Error This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to (00 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., AGND + 0.5 LSB. Offset Error Match This is the difference in Offset Error between any two channels. Gain Error This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to (111 . . . 111) from the ideal (i.e., VREF – 1.5 LSB) after the offset error has been adjusted out. The AD7887 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used. In this case, the second order terms are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves, while the third order terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the second and third order terms are specified separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is as per the THD specification where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the fundamentals expressed in dBs. Gain Error Match This is the difference in Gain Error between any two channels. Track/Hold Acquisition Time The track/hold amplifier returns into track mode at the end of conversion. Track/Hold acquisition time is the time required for the output of the track/hold amplifier to reach its final value, within ± 1/2 LSB, after the end of conversion. Channel-to-Channel Isolation Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a fullscale 25 kHz sine wave signal to the nonselected input channel and determining how much that signal is attenuated in the selected channel. The figure given is the worst case across both channels for the AD7887. This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (fS/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 + distortion) ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by: PSR (Power Supply Rejection) Variations in power supply will affect the full-scale transition, but not the converter’s linearity. Power Supply Rejection is the maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a change in power-supply voltage from the nominal value. Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB. Total Harmonic Distortion Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7887, it is defined as: 2 THD (dB) = 20 log 2 2 2 2 V2 +V3 +V4 +V5 +V6 V1 where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the sixth harmonics. –6– REV. B AD7887 CONTROL REGISTER The Control Register on the AD7887 is an 8-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7887 on the rising edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time as the conversion result is read from the part. This requires 16 serial clocks for every data transfer. Only the information provided on the first eight rising clock edges (after CS falling edge) is loaded to the Control Register. MSB denotes the first bit in the data stream. The bit functions are outlined in Table I. The contents of the Control Register on power up is all zeros. Table I. Control Register MSB DONTC ZERO REF SIN/DUAL CH ZERO PM1 PM0 Bit Mnemonic Comment 7 DONTC 6 5 ZERO REF 4 SIN/DUAL 3 CH 2 1, 0 ZERO PM1, PM0 Don’t Care. The value written to this bit of the Control Register is a don’t care, i.e., it doesn’t matter if the bit is 0 or 1. A zero must be written to this bit to ensure correct operation of the AD7887. Reference Bit. With a 0 in this bit, the on-chip reference is enabled. With a 1 in this bit, the on-chip reference is disabled. Single/Dual Bit. This bit determines whether the AD7887 operates in single-channel or dual-channel mode. A 0 in this bit selects single-channel operation and the AIN1/VREF pin assumes its VREF function. A 1 in this bit selects dual-channel mode and the reference voltage for the ADC is internally connected to VDD and the AIN1/VREF pin assumes its AIN1 function as the second analog input channel. To obtain best performance from the AD7887, the internal reference should be disabled when operating in the dual channel mode, i.e., REF = 1. Channel Bit. When the part is selected for dual-channel mode, this bit determines which channel will be converted for the next conversion. A 0 in this bit selects the AIN0 input while a 1 in this bit selects the AIN1 input. In single-channel mode, this bit should always be 0. A zero must be written to this bit to ensure correct operation of the AD7887. Power Management Bits. These two bits decode the mode of operation of the AD7887 as described below. Table II. Power Management Options PM1 PM0 Mode 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 Mode 1. In this mode, the AD7887 enters shutdown if the CS input is 1 and is in full power mode when CS is 0. Thus the part comes out of shutdown on the falling edge of CS and enters shutdown on the rising edge of CS. Mode 2. In this mode, the AD7887 is always fully powered up, regardless of the status of any of the logic inputs. Mode 3. In this mode, the AD7887 automatically enters shutdown mode at the end of each conversion, regardless of the state of CS. Mode 4. In this standby mode, portions of the AD7887 are powered down but the on-chip reference voltage remains powered up. This mode is similar to Mode 3, but allows the part to power up much faster. The REF bit should be 0 to ensure the on-chip reference is enabled. REV.

The part can be operated from a +3 V (+2.7 V to +3.6 V) supply or from a +5 V (+4.75 V to +5.25 V) supply. When operated from either a +5 V or +3 V supply, the AD7887 is capable of throughput rates of 125 kSPS when provided with a 2 MHz clock. Figure 2. Dynamic Performance Figure 3 shows the SNR vs. Frequency for a 5 V supply with a 5 V external reference. The AD7887 provides the user with an on-chip track/hold, A/D converter, reference and serial interface housed in an 8-lead package. The serial clock input accesses data from the part and also provides the clock source for the successive approximation A/D converter. The part can be configured for single-channel or dual-channel operation. When configured as a single-channel part, the analog input range is 0 to VREF (where the externallyapplied VREF can be between +1.2 V and VDD). When the AD7887 is configured for two input channels, the input range is determined by internal connections to be 0 to VDD. 73.0 VDD = 5V 5V EXT REFERENCE SNR – dB 72.5 72.0 71.5 71.0 0.15 10.89 31.59 21.14 INPUT FREQUENCY – kHz If single-channel operation is required, the AD7887 can be operated in a read-only mode by tying the DIN line permanently to GND. For applications where the user wants to change the mode of operation or wants to operate the AD7887 as a dualchannel A/D converter, the DIN line can be used to clock data into the part’s control register. 42.14 Figure 3. SNR vs. Input Frequency Figure 4 shows the power supply rejection ratio versus frequency for the part. The power supply rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at frequency f to the power of a full-scale sine wave applied to the ADC of frequency fS: CONVERTER OPERATION The AD7887 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter based around a charge redistribution DAC. Figures 5 and 6 show simplified schematics of the ADC. Figure 5 shows the ADC during its acquisition phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is in position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition and the sampling capacitor acquires the signal on AIN. PSRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/Pfs) Pf = Power at frequency f in ADC output, Pfs = power at frequency fS in ADC full-scale input. Here a 100 mV peak-to-peak sine wave is coupled onto the VDD supply.

ADC Acquisition Phase –8– REV. B AD7887 When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 6), SW2 will open and SW1 will move to Position B causing the comparator to become unbalanced. 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 7 shows the ADC transfer function.

Typical Connection Diagram CONTROL LOGIC Analog Input SW2 Figure 9 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure of the AD7887. The two diodes D1 and D2 provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 200 mV. This will cause these diodes to become forward biased and start conducting current into the substrate. 20 mA is the maximum current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part. However, it is worth noting that a small amount of current (1 mA) being conducted into the substrate due to an overvoltage on an unselected channel can cause inaccurate conversions on a selected channel. The capacitor C1 in Figure 9 is typically about 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on resistance of a multiplexer and a switch. This resistor is typically about 100 Ω. The capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and typically has a capacitance of 20 pF. COMPARATOR REF IN/REF OUT/2 Figure 6.

The GND pin is connected to the analog ground plane of the system. The part is in dual-channel mode so VREF is internally connected to a well decoupled VDD pin to provide an analog input range of 0 V to VDD. The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word with four leading zeros followed by the MSB of the 12-bit result. For applications where power consumption is of concern, the automatic power-down at the end of conversion should be used to improve power performance.

Equivalent Analog Input Circuit For ac applications, removing high frequency components from the analog input signal is recommended by use of an RC lowpass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where harmonic distortion and signal to noise ratio are critical, the analog input should be driven from a low impedance source. Large source impedances will significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC. This may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp will be a function of the particular application. When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input the source impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source impedance will depend on the amount of total harmonic distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD will increase REV. B –9– AD7887 PM1 = PM0 = 0, the part will enter shutdown on the rising edge of CS and power up from shutdown on the falling edge of CS. If CS is brought high during the conversion in this mode, the part will immediately enter shutdown. as the source impedance increases and performance will degrade. Figure 10 shows a graph of the total harmonic distortion versus analog input signal frequency for different source impedances. –65 Power-Up Times THD vs. FREQUENCY FOR DIFFERENT SOURCE IMPEDANCES –70 The AD7887 has an approximate 1 µs power-up time when powering up from standby or when using an external reference. When VDD is first connected the AD7887 will power up in Mode 1, i.e., PM1 = PM0 = 0. The part is put into shutdown on the rising edge of CS in this mode. A subsequent power-up from shutdown will take approximately 5 µs. The AD7887 wake-up time is very short in the autostandby mode so it is possible to wake-up the part and carry out a valid conversion in the same read/write operation.

THROUGHPUT RATE By operating the AD7887 in autoshutdown, autostandby mode or Mode 1, the average power consumption of the AD7887 decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 12 shows how, as the throughput rate is reduced, the device remains in its powerdown state longer and the average power consumption over time drops accordingly.

This reference can be enabled or disabled by clearing or setting the REF bit in the control register respectively. If the on-chip reference is to be used externally in a system then it must be buffered before it is applied elsewhere. If an external reference is applied to the device, then the internal reference is automatically overdriven. However, it is advised to disable the internal reference by setting the REF bit in the control register when an external reference is applied in order to obtain optimum performance from the device. When the internal reference is disabled, SW1 in Figure 11 will open and the input impedance seen at the AIN1/VREF pin is the input impedance of the reference buffer, which is in the region of gigaohms. When the internal reference is enabled the input impedance seen at the pin is typically 10 kΩ. When the AD7887 is operated in two-channel mode, the reference is taken from VDD internally and not from the on-chip 2.5 V reference. AIN1/VREF SW1 For example if the AD7887 is operated in a continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS and a SCLK of 2 MHz (VDD = 5 V), and if PM1 = 1 and PM0 = 0, i.e., the device is in autoshutdown mode, and the on-chip reference is used, the power consumption is calculated as follows. The power dissipation during normal operation is 3.5 mW (VDD = 5 V). If the power-up time is 5 µs, and the remaining conversion plus acquisition time is 15.5 tSCLK, i.e., approximately 7.75 µs, (see Figure 15a), the AD7887 can be said to dissipate 3.5 mW for 12.75 µs during each conversion cycle. If the throughput rate is 10 kSPS, the cycle time is 100 µs and the average power dissipated during each cycle is (12.75/100) × (3.5 mW) = 446.25 µW. If VDD = 3 V, SCLK = 2 MHz and the device is again in autoshutdown mode using the on-chip reference, then the power dissipation during normal operation is 2.1 mW. The AD7887 can now be said to dissipate 2.1 mW for 12.75 µs during each conversion cycle. With a throughput rate of 10 kSPS, the average power dissipated during each cycle is (12.75/100) × (2.1 mW) = 267.75 µW.

On-Chip Reference Circuitry POWER – mW POWER-DOWN OPTIONS The AD7887 provides flexible power management to allow the user to achieve the best power performance for a given throughput rate. The power management options are selected by programming the power management bits (i.e., PM1 and PM0) in the control register. Table II summarizes the available options. When the power management bits are programmed for either of the auto power-down modes, the part will enter power-down mode on the 16th rising SCLK edge after the falling edge of CS. The first falling SCLK edge after the CS falling edge will cause the part to power up again.

B AD7887 MODES OF OPERATION The AD7887 has a number of different modes of operation. These are designed to provide flexible power management options. These options can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for differing application requirements. The modes of operation are controlled by the PM1 and PM0 bits of the Control Register as previously outlined. For read-only operation of the AD7887, the default mode of all 0s in the Control Register can be set up by tying the DIN line permanently low. falling edge and second SCLK rising edge by up to 5 µs without affecting the speed of the rest of the serial clock. Therefore, the user will need to write to the Control Register to exit this mode and (by writing PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1) put the part into Mode 2, i.e., normal mode. A second conversion will then need to be initiated when the part is powered-up to get a conversion result. The write operation which takes place in conjunction with this second conversion can put the part back into Mode 1 and the part will go into power-down mode when CS returns high. Mode 2 (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 1) In this mode of operation, the AD7887 remains fully powered up regardless of the status of the CS line. It is intended for fastest throughput rate performance as the user does not have to worry about the 5 µs power-up time previously mentioned. Figure 14 shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7887 in this mode. Mode 1 (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 0) This mode allows the user to control the powering down of the part via the CS pin. Whenever CS is low, the AD7887 is fully powered up; whenever CS is high, the AD7887 is in full shutdown. When CS goes from high to low, all on-chip circuitry starts to power up. It takes approximately, 5 µs for the AD7887 internal circuitry to be fully powered up. As a result, a conversion (or sample-and-hold acquisition) should not be initiated during this 5 µs. Figure 13 shows a general diagram of the operation of the AD7887 in this mode. The input signal is sampled on the second rising edge of SCLK following the CS falling edge. The user should ensure that 5 µs elapses between the falling edge of CS and the second rising edge of SCLK. In microcontroller applications, this is readily achievable by driving the CS input from one of the port lines and ensuring that the serial data read (from the microcontrollers serial port) is not initiated for 5 µs. In DSP applications, where the CS is generally derived from the serial frame synchronization line, it is usually not possible to separate the CS The data presented to the AD7887 on the DIN line during the first eight clock cycles of the data transfer are loaded to the Control Register. To continue to operate in this mode, the user must ensure that PM1 is loaded with 0 and PM0 is loaded with 1 on every data transfer. The falling edge of CS initiates the sequence and the input signal is sampled on the second rising edge of the SCLK input. Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access the conversion result. Once a data transfer is complete (CS has returned high), another conversion can be initiated immediately by bringing CS low again.

A second conversion will then need to be initiated when the part is powered up to get a conversion result, as shown in Figure 15b. The write operation that takes place in conjunction with this second conversion can put the part back into Mode 3 and the part will go into power-down mode when the conversion sequence ends. Mode 3 (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0) In this mode, the AD7887 automatically enters its full shutdown mode at the end of every conversion. It is similar to Mode 1 except that the status of CS does not have any effect on the power-down status of the AD7887. Figure 15a shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7887 in this mode. On the first falling SCLK edge after CS goes low, all on-chip circuitry starts to power up. It takes approximately, 5 µs for the AD7887 internal circuitry to be fully powered up. As a result, a conversion (or sample-and-hold acquisition) should not be initiated during this 5 µs. The input signal is sampled on the second rising edge of SCLK following the CS falling edge. The user should ensure that 5 µs elapses between the first falling edge of SCLK and the second rising edge of SCLK after the CS falling edge as shown in Figure 15a. In microcontroller applications (or with a slow serial clock) this is readily achievable by driving the CS input from one of the port lines and ensuring that the serial data read (from the microcontroller’s serial port) is not initiated for 5 µs. However, for higher speed serial clocks it will not be possible to have a 5 µs delay between powering up and the first rising edge of the SCLK. Therefore, the user will need to write to the Control Register to exit this mode and (by writing PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1) put the THE PART ENTERS SHUTDOWN AT THE END OF CONVERSION AS PM1 = 1 AND PM0 = 0 Mode 4 (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 1) In this mode, the AD7887 automatically enters a standby (or sleep) mode at the end of every conversion. In this standby mode, all on-chip circuitry, apart from the on-chip reference, is powered down. This mode is similar to Mode 3 but in this case, the power-up time is much shorter as the on-chip reference remains powered up at all times. Figure 16 shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7887 in this mode. On the first falling SCLK edge after CS goes low, the AD7887 comes out of standby. The AD7887 wake-up time is very short in this mode so it is possible to wakeup the part and carry out a valid conversion in the same read/ write operation. The input signal is sampled on the second rising edge of SCLK following the CS falling edge. At the end of conversion (last rising edge of SCLK) the part automatically enters its standby mode.

SERIAL INTERFACE Figure 17 shows the detailed timing diagrams for serial interfacing to the AD7887. The serial clock provides the conversion clock and also controls the transfer of information to and from the AD7887 during conversion. Writing of information to the Control Register takes place on the first eight rising edges of SCLK in a data transfer. The Control Register is always written to when a data transfer takes place. However, the AD7887 can be operated in a read-only mode by tying DIN low, thereby loading all 0s to the Control Register every time. When operating the AD7887 in write/read mode, the user must be careful to always set up the correct information on the DIN line when reading data from the part. CS initiates the data transfer and conversion process. For some modes, the falling edge of CS wakes up the part. In all cases, it gates the serial clock to the AD7887 and puts the on-chip track/ hold into track mode. The input signal is sampled on the second rising edge of the SCLK input after the falling edge of CS. Thus, the first one and one-half clock cycles after the falling edge of CS are when the acquisition of the input signal takes place. This time is denoted as the acquisition time (tACQ). In modes where the falling edge of CS wakes up the part, the acquisition time must allow for the wake-up time of 5 µs. The on-chip track/hold goes from track mode to hold mode on the second rising edge of SCLK and a conversion is also initiated on this edge. The conversion process takes a further fourteen and one-half SCLK cycles to complete. The rising edge of CS will put the bus back into three-state. If CS is left low a new conversion will be initiated. Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion process and to access data from the AD7887. In applications where the first serial clock edge, following CS going low, is a falling edge, this edge clocks out the first leading zero. Thus, the first rising clock edge on the SCLK clock has the first leading zero provided. In applications where the first serial clock edge, following CS going low, is a rising edge, the first leading zero may not be set up in time for the processor to read it correctly. However, subsequent bits are clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK so that they are provided to the processor on the following rising edge. Thus, the second leading zero is clocked out on the falling edge subsequent to the first rising edge. The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the sixteenth rising edge, having being clocked out on the previous falling edge. In dual-channel operation, the input channel that is sampled is the one that was selected in the previous write to the Control Register. Thus, in dual-channel operation the user must write ahead the channel for conversion.

Serial Interface Timing Diagram REV. B 16 –13– PM0 THREESTATE AD7887 MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING The serial interface on the AD7887 allows the part to be directly connected to a range of many different microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the AD7887 with some of the more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols. AD7887 to TMS320C5x The serial interface on the TMS320C5x uses a continuous serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize the data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the AD7887. The CS input allows easy interfacing with an inverter between the serial clock of the TMS320C5x and the AD7887 being the only glue logic required. The serial port of the TMS320C5x is set up to operate in burst mode with internal CLKX (TX serial clock) and FSX (TX frame sync). The serial port control register (SPC) must have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM = 1 and TXM = 1. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 18. TMS320C5x* AD7887* SCLK CLKX CLKR DOUT The Timer registers etc., are loaded with a value that will provide an interrupt at the required sample interval. When an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and hence the reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given (i.e., AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked. The DSP will wait until the SCLK has gone High, Low and High before transmission will start. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising edge of SCLK, the data may be transmitted or it may wait until the next clock edge. For example, the ADSP-2111 has a master clock frequency of 16 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3 then a SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained, and 8 master clock periods will elapse for every 1 SCLK period. If the timer registers are loaded with the value 803, then 100.5 SCLKs will occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit instructions. This situation will result in nonequidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is occurring on an SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer number of N, equidistant sampling will be implemented by the DSP.

Interfacing to the TMS320C5x RFS TFS AD7887 to ADSP-21xx The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs are easily interfaced to the AD7887 with an inverter between the serial clock of the ADSP21xx and the AD7887. This is the only glue logic required. The SPORT control register should be set up as follows: TFSW = RFSW = 1, Alternate Framing INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, Active Low Frame Signal DTYPE = 00, Right Justify Data SLEN = 1111, 16-Bit Data Words ISCLK = 1, Internal Serial Clock TFSR = RFSR = 1, Frame Every Word IRFS = 0 ITFS = 1 *ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY Figure 19. Interfacing to the ADSP-21xx AD7887 to DSP56xxx The connection diagram in Figure 20 shows how the AD7887 can be connected to the SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) of the DSP56xxx family of DSPs from Motorola. The SSI is operated in Synchronous Mode (SYN bit in CRB = 1) with internally generated 1-bit clock period frame sync for both TX and RX (Bits FSL1 =1 and FSL0 =0 in CRB). Set the word length to 16 by setting bits WL1 = 1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. An inverter is also necessary between the SCLK from the DSP56xxx and the SCLK pin of the AD7887 as shown in Figure 20. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 19. The ADSP21xx has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in Alternate Framing Mode and the SPORT control register is set up as described. The Frame synchronization signal generated on the TFS is tied to CS and as with all signal processing applications equidistant sampling is necessary. In this example however, the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC and under certain conditions, equidistant sampling may not be achieved.

B AD7887 AD7887 to MC68HC11 APPLICATION HINTS Grounding and Layout The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) on the MC68HC11 is configured for Master Mode (MSTR = 1), Clock Polarity Bit (CPOL) = 1 and the Clock Phase Bit (CPHA) = 1. The SPI is configured by writing to the SPI Control Register (SPCR)—see 68HC11 user manual. The serial transfer will take place as two 8-bit operations. A connection diagram is shown in Figure 21. The AD7887 has very good immunity to noise on the power supplies as can be seen in Figure 4. However, care should still be taken with regard to grounding and layout. The printed circuit board that houses the AD7887 should be designed so the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be easily separated. A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes as it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog ground planes should be joined in only one place, as close as possible to the GND pin of the AD7887. If the AD7887 is in a system where multiple devices require AGND-to-DGND connections, the connection should still be made at one point only, a star ground point, which should be established as close as possible to the AD7887.

Interfacing to the MC68HC11 AD7887 to 8051 It is possible to implement a serial interface using the data ports on the 8051. This allows a full duplex serial transfer to be implemented. The technique involves “bit-banging” an I/O port (e.g., P1.0) to generate a serial clock and using two other I/O ports (e.g., P1.1 and P1.2) to shift data in and out—see Figure 22. 8051* AD7887* SCLK P1.0 DOUT P1.1 DIN P1.2 CS P1.3 Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 µF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best from these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. *ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY Figure 22. Interfacing to the 8051 Using I/O Ports AD7887 to PIC16C6x/7x The PIC16C6x Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) is configured as an SPI Master with the Clock Polarity Bit = 1. This is done by writing to the Synchronous Serial Port Control Register (SSPCON). See user PIC16/17 Microcontroller User Manual. Figure 23 shows the hardware connections needed to interface to the PIC16C6x/7x. In this example I/O port RA1 is being used to pulse CS. This microcontroller only transfers eight bits of data during each serial transfer operation. Therefore two consecutive read/write operations are needed. PIC16C6x / 7x* AD7887* SCLK SCK/RC3 DOUT SDI/RC4 DIN CS Avoid running digital lines under the device as these will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7887 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7887 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals like clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals should never be run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This will reduce the effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best but is not always possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side. Evaluating the AD7887 Performance The recommended layout for the AD7887 is outlined in the evaluation board for the AD7887. The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for controlling the board from the PC via the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD. The EVAL-CONTROL BOARD can be used in conjunction with the AD7887 Evaluation board, as well as many other Analog Devices evaluation boards ending in the CB designator, to demonstrate/ evaluate the ac and dc performance of the AD7887. The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7887. SDO/RC5 RA1 *ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY Figure 23.
