DESCRIPTION
The ADS7881 is a 12-bit 4-MSPS A-to-D converter with
2.5-V internal reference. The device includes a capacitor
based SAR A/D converter with inherent sample and hold.
The device offers a 12-bit parallel interface with an
additional byte mode that provides easy interface with 8-bit
processors. The device has a pseudo-differential input
stage.
The −IN swing of ±200 mV is useful to compensate for
ground voltage mismatch between the ADC and sensor
and also to cancel common-mode noise. With nap mode
enabled, the device operates at lower power when used at
lower conversion rates. The device is available in a 48-pin
TQFP package.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate
precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to
damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

DESCRIPTION AND TIMING DIAGRAMS
SAMPLING AND CONVERSION START
There are three ways to start sampling. The rising edge of CONVST starts sampling with CS and BUSY being low
(see Figure 1) or it can be started with the falling edge of CS when CONVST is high and BUSY is low (see
Figure 2). Sampling can also be started with an internal conversion end (before BUSY falling edge) with CS
being low and CONVST high before an internal conversion end (see Figure 3). Also refer to the section DEVICE
OPERATION AND DATA READ IN BACK-TO-BACK CONVERSION for more details.
A conversion can be started two ways (a conversion start is the end of sampling). Either with the falling edge
of CONVST when CS is low (see Figure 1) or the falling edge of CS when CONVST is low (see Figure 2). A
clean and low jitter falling edge of these respective signals triggers a conversion start and is important to the
performance of the converter. The BUSY pin is brought high immediately following the CONVST falling edge.
BUSY stays high throughout the conversion process and returns low when the conversion has ended.

DEVICE OPERATION AND DATA READ IN BACK-TO-BACK CONVERSION
The following two figures illustrate device operation in back-to-back conversion mode. It is possible to operate
the device at any throughput in this mode, but this is the only mode in which the device can be operated at
throughputs exceeding 3.5 MSPS.
A conversion starts on the CONVST falling edge. The BUSY output goes high after a delay (td2). Note that care
must be taken not to abort the conversion (see Figure 4) apart from timing restrictions shown in Figure 7 and
Figure 8. The conversion ends within the conversion time, t(conv), after the CONVST falling edge. The new
acquisition can be immediately started without waiting for the BUSY signal to go low. This can be ensured with
a CONVST high pulse width that is more than or equal to (t0 – t(conv) + 10 nsec) which is tw4 for a 4-MHz operation.

NAP MODE
The device can be put in nap mode following the sequences shown in Figure 9. This provides substantial power
saving while operating at lower sampling rates.
While operating the device at throughput rates lower than 3.2 MSPS, A_PWD can be held low (see Figure 9).
In this condition, the device goes into the nap state immediately after BUSY goes low and remains in that state
until the next sampling starts. The minimum acquisition time is 60 nsec more than t(acq) as defined in the timing
requirements section.
Alternately, A_PWD can be toggled any time during operation (see Figure 10). This is useful when the system
acquires data at the maximum conversion speed for some period of time (back-to-back conversion) and it does
not acquire data for some time while the acquired data is being processed. During this period, the device can
be put in the nap state to save power. The device remains in the nap state as long as A_PWD is low with BUSY
being low and sampling has not started. The minimum acquisition time for the first sampling after the nap state
is 60 nsec more than t(acq) as defined in the timing requirements section.

POWERDOWN/RESET
A low level on the PWD/RST pin puts the device in the powerdown phase. This is an asynchronous signal. As
shown in Figure 11, the device is in the reset phase for the first tw6 period after a high-to-low transition of
PWD/RST. During this period the output code is FE0 (hex) to indicate that the device is in the reset phase. The
device powers down if the PWD/RST pin continues to be low for a period of more than tw7. Data is not valid for
the first four conversions after a power-up (see Figure 11) or an end of reset (see Figure 12). The device is
initialized during the first four conversions.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The ADS7881 is a member of a family of high-speed successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital
converters (ADC). The architecture is based on charge redistribution, which inherently includes a sample/hold
function.
The conversion clock is generated internally. The conversion time is 200 ns max (at 5 V +VBD).
The analog input is provided to two input pins: +IN and −IN. (Note that this is pseudo differential input and there
are restrictions on –IN voltage range.) When a conversion is initiated, the difference voltage between these pins
is sampled on the internal capacitor array. While a conversion is in progress, both inputs are disconnected from
any internal function.
REFERENCE
The ADS7881 has a built-in 2.5-V (nominal value) reference but can operate with an external reference. When
an internal reference is used, pin 2 (REFOUT) should be connected to pin 1 (REFIN) with an 0.1-µF decoupling
capacitor and a 1-µF storage capacitor between pin 2 (REFOUT) and pins 47, 48 (REFM). The internal
reference of the converter is buffered . There is also a buffer from REFIN to CDAC. This buffer provides isolation
between the external reference and the CDAC and also recharges the CDAC during conversion. It is essential
to decouple REFOUT to AGND with a 0.1-µF capacitor while the device operates with an external reference.
ANALOG INPUT
When the converter enters hold mode, the voltage difference between the +IN and −IN inputs is captured on
the internal capacitor array. The voltage on the −IN input is limited to between –0.2 V and 0.2 V, thus allowing
the input to reject a small signal which is common to both the +IN and −IN inputs. The +IN input has a range
of –0.2 V to (+Vref +0.2 V). The input span (+IN – (−IN)) is limited from 0 V to VREF.
The input current on the analog inputs depends upon a number of factors: sample rate, input voltage, signal
frequency, and source impedance. Essentially, the current into the ADS7881 charges the internal capacitor
array during the sample period. After this capacitance has been fully charged, there is no further input current
(this may not happen when a signal is moving continuously). The source of the analog input voltage must be
able to charge the input capacitance (27 pF) to better than a 12-bit settling level with a step input within the
acquisition time of the device. The step size can be selected equal to the maximum voltage difference between
two consecutive samples at the maximum signal frequency. (Refer to Figure 39 for the suggested input circuit.)
When the converter goes into hold mode, the input impedance is greater than 1 GΩ.
Care must be taken regarding the absolute analog input voltage. To maintain the linearity of the converter, both
−IN and +IN inputs should be within the limits specified. Outside of these ranges, the converter’s linearity may
not meet specifications.
Care should be taken to ensure that +IN and −IN see the same impedance to the respective sources. (For
example, both +IN and −IN are connected to a decoupling capacitor through a 21-Ω resistor as shown in
Figure 39.) If this is not observed, the two inputs could have different settling times. This may result in an offset
error, gain error, or linearity error which changes with temperature and input voltage.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
TIMING AND CONTROL
Refer to the SAMPLING AND CONVERSION START section and the CONVERSION ABORT section.
READING DATA
The ADS7881 outputs full parallel data in straight binary format as shown in Table 1. The parallel output is active
when CS and RD are both low. There is a minimal quiet sampling period requirement around the falling edge
of CONVST as stated in the timing requirements section. Data reads or bus three-state operations should not
be attempted within this period. Any other combination of CS and RD three-states the parallel output. Refer to
Table 1 for ideal output codes.

The output data appears as a full 12-bit word (D11−D0) on pins DB11 – DB0 (MSB−LSB) if BYTE is low.
READING THE DATA IN BYTE MODE
The result can also be read on an 8-bit bus for convenience by using pins DB11−DB4. In this case two reads
are necessary; the first as before, leaving BYTE low and reading the 8 most significant bits on pins DB11−DB4,
and then bringing BYTE high. When BYTE is high, the lower bits (D3−D0) followed by all zeros are on pins DB11
− DB4 (refer to Table 2).
These multi-word read operations can be performed with multiple active RD signals (toggling) or with RD tied
low for simplicity.

Also refer to the DATA READ and DEVICE OPERATION AND DATA READ IN BACK-TO-BACK
CONVERSION sections for more details.
Reset
Refer to the POWERDOWN/RESET section for the device reset sequence.
It is recommended to reset the device after power on. A reset can be issued once the power has reached 95%
of its final value.
PWD/RST is an asynchronous active low input signal. A current conversion is aborted no later than 45 ns after
the converter is in the reset mode. In addition, the device outputs a FE0 code to indicate a reset condition. The
converter returns back to normal operation mode immediately after the PWD/RST input is brought high.
Data is not valid for the first four conversions after a device reset.
Powerdown
Refer to the POWERDOWN/RESET section for the device powerdown sequence.
The device enters powerdown mode if a PWD/RST low duration is extended for more than a period of tw7.
The converter goes back to normal operation mode no later than a period of td13 after the PWD/RST input is
brought high.
After this period, normal conversion and sampling operation can be started as discussed in previous sections.
Data is not valid for the first four conversions after a device reset.
Nap Mode
Refer to the NAP MODE section in the DESCRIPTION AND TIMING DIAGRAMS section for information.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
LAYOUT
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the physical layout of the ADS7881 circuitry.
As the ADS7881 offers single-supply operation, it is often used in close proximity with digital logic,
micro-controllers, microprocessors, and digital signal processors. The more digital logic present in the design
and the higher the switching speed, the more difficult it is to achieve acceptable performance from the converter.
The basic SAR architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden changes on the power supply, reference, ground
connections, and digital inputs that occur just prior to the end of sampling (within quiet sampling time) and just
prior to latching the output of the analog comparator during the conversion phase. Thus, driving any single
conversion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are n+1 windows in which large external transient voltages can
affect the conversion result. Such glitches might originate from switching power supplies, nearby digital logic,
or high power devices.
The degree of error in the digital output depends on the reference voltage, layout, and the exact timing of the
external event.
On average, the ADS7881 draws very little current from an external reference as the reference voltage is
internally buffered. If the reference voltage is external and originates from an op amp, make sure that it can drive
the bypass capacitor or capacitors without oscillation. A 0.1-µF bypass capacitor and 1-µF storage capacitor
are recommended from REFIN (pin 1) directly to REFM (pin 48).
The AGND and BDGND pins should be connected to a clean ground point. In all cases, this should be the analog
ground. Avoid connections which are too close to the grounding point of a micro-controller or digital signal
processor. If required, run a ground trace directly from the converter to the power supply entry point. The ideal
layout consists of an analog ground plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog circuitry.
As with the AGND connections, +VA should be connected to a 5-V power supply plane that is separate from
the connection for +VBD and digital logic until they are connected at the power entry point onto the PCB. Power
to the ADS7881 should be clean and well bypassed. A 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor should be placed as
close to the device as possible. See Table 3 for the placement of capacitor. In addition to a 0.1-µF capacitor,
a 1-µF capacitor is recommended. In some situations, additional bypassing may be required, such as a 100-µF
electrolytic capacitor or even a Pi filter made up of inductors and capacitors, all designed to essentially low-pass
filter the 5-V supply, removing the high frequency noise.
