FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● LOW POWER: 10mW plus Power Down
The ADS7803 is a monolithic CMOS 12-bit analogto-digital converter with internal sample/hold and fourchannel multiplexer. It is designed and tested for full
dynamic performance with input signals to 50kHz. An
autocalibration cycle guarantees a total unadjusted
error within ±3/4LSB over the specified temperature
range, eliminating the need for offset or gain adjustment. The 5V single-supply requirements and standard CS, RD, and WR control signals make the part
easy to use in microprocessor applications. Conversion results are available in two bytes through an 8-bit
three-state output bus.

THEORY OF OPERATION
OPERATION
ADS7803 uses the advantages of advanced CMOS technology (logic density, stable capacitors, precision analog
switches, and low power consumption) to provide a precise
12-bit analog-to-digital converter with on-chip sampling and
four-channel analog-input multiplexer.
BASIC OPERATION
Figure 1 shows the simple circuit required to operate
ADS7803 in the Transparent Mode, converting a single
input channel. A convert command on pin 20 (WR) starts a
conversion. Pin 22 (BUSY) will output a LOW during the
conversion process (including sample acquisition and conversion), and rises only after the conversion is completed.
The two bytes of output data can then be read using pin 18
(RD) and pin 21 (HBE).
The input stage consists of an analog multiplexer with an
address latch to select from four input channels.
The converter stage consists of an advanced successive
approximation architecture using charge redistribution on a
capacitor network to digitize the input signal. A temperature-stabilized differential auto-zeroing circuit is used to
minimize offset errors in the comparator.
Linearity errors in the binary weighted main capacitor
network are corrected using a capacitor trim network and
correction factors stored in on-chip memory. The correction
terms are calculated by an on-chip microcontroller during a
calibration cycle, initiated either by power-up or by applying
an external calibration signal at any time. During conversion, the correct trim capacitors are switched into the main
capacitor array as needed to correct the conversion accuracy.
With all of the capacitors in both the main array and the trim
array on the same chip, excellent stability is achieved, both
over temperature and over time.

For flexibility, timing circuits include both an internal clock
generator and an input for an external clock to synchronize
with external systems. Standard control signals and threestate input/output registers simplify interfacing ADS7803 to
most micro-controllers, microprocessors or digital storage
systems.
The on-chip sampling provides excellent dynamic performance for input signals to 50kHz, and has a full-power –3dB
bandwidth of 4MHz. Full control over sample-to-hold
timing is available for applications where this is critical.

ADS7803
STARTING A CONVERSION
A conversion is initiated on the rising edge of the WR input,
with valid signals on A0, A1 and CS. The selected input
channel is sampled for five clock cycles. The successive
approximation conversion takes place during clock cycles 6
through 17.
CALIBRATION
A calibration cycle is initiated automatically upon power-up
(or after a power failure). Calibration can also be initiated by
the user at any time by the rising edge of a minimum 100nswide LOW pulse on the CAL pin (pin 26), or by setting D1
HIGH in the Special Function Register (see SFR section).
A calibration command will initiate a calibration cycle,
regardless of whether a conversion is in process. During a
calibration cycle, convert commands are ignored.
Figures 2 and 3 show the full conversion sequence and the
timing to initiate a conversion.
A conversion can also be initiated by a rising edge on pin 26,
if a HIGH has been written to D2 of the Special Function
Register, as discussed below.
Calibration takes 168 clock cycles, and a normal conversion
(17 clock cycles) is added automatically. Thus, at the end of
a calibration cycle, there is valid conversion data in the
output registers. For maximum accuracy, the supplies and
reference need to be stable during the calibration procedure.
To ensure that supply voltages have settled and are stable, an
internal timer provides a waiting period of 42,425 clock
cycles between power-up/power-failure and the start of the
calibration cycle.

ADS7803
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
Table I and Figures 3 through 9 show the digital timing of
ADS7803 under the various operating modes. All of the
critical parameters are guaranteed over the full –40°C to
+85°C operating range for ease of system design.
LOW, the output data will change to correspond to the HBE
input. Figure 4 shows the timing for reading first the Low
byte and then the High byte.
ADS7803 provides two modes for reading the conversion
results. At power-up, the converter is set in the Transparent
Mode.
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER (SFR)
An internal register is available, either to determine additional data concerning the ADS7803, or to write additional
instructions to the converter.
TRANSPARENT MODE
This is the default mode for ADS7803. In this mode, the
conversion decisions from the successive approximation
register are latched into the output register as they are made.
Thus, the High byte (the 4 MSBs) can be read after the end
of the ninth clock cycle (five clock cycles for the mux
settling, sample acquisition and auto-zeroing of the comparator, followed by the four clock cycles for the 4MSB
decisions.) The complete 12-bit data is available after BUSY
has gone HIGH, or the internal status flag goes LOW (D7
when HBE is HIGH).
Table II shows the data in the Special Function Register that
will be transferred to the output bus by driving HBE HIGH
(with SFR HIGH) and initiating a read cycle (driving RD
and CS LOW with WR HIGH.) The Power Fail flag in the
SFR is set when the power supply falls below about 3V. The
flag also means that a new calibration has been started, and
any data written to the SFR has been lost. Thus, the ADS7803
will again be in the Transparent Mode. Writing a LOW to
D5 in the SFR resets the Power Fail flag. The Cal Error flag
in the SFR is set when an overflow occurs during calibration, which may happen in very noisy systems. It is reset by
starting a calibration, and remains low after a calibration
without an overflow is completed.
LATCHED OUTPUT MODE
This mode is activated by writing a HIGH to D0 in the
Special Function Register with CS and WR LOW and SFR
and HBE HIGH. (See the discussion of the Special Function
Register below.)
Table III shows how instructions can be transferred to the
Special Function Register by driving HBE HIGH (with SFR
HIGH) and initiating a write cycle (driving WR and CS
LOW with RD HIGH.) Note that writing to the SFR also
initiates a new conversion.
In this mode, the data from a conversion is latched into the
output buffers only after a conversion is complete, and
remains there until the next conversion is completed. The
conversion result is valid during the next conversion. This
allows the data to be read even after a new conversion is
started, for faster system throughput.

POWER DOWN MODE
Writing a HIGH to D3 in the SFR puts the ADS7803 in the
Power Down Mode. Power consumption is reduced to 50µW
and D3 remains HIGH. The internal clock and analog
circuitry are turned off, although the output registers and
SFR can still be accessed normally. To exit Power Down
Mode, either write a LOW to D3 in the SFR, or initiate a
calibration by sending a LOW to the CAL pin or writing
a HIGH to D1. Note that if the power supply falls below 3V
and then recovers, a calibration is automatically initiated,
and the SFR will be reset. D3 will be LOW, and the
ADS7803 will not be in the Power Down Mode.

SAMPLE/HOLD CONTROL MODE
With D2 in the SFR HIGH, a rising edge input on pin 26 will
switch the ADS7803 from sample-mode to hold-mode with
a 5ns aperture delay. This also initiates a conversion, which
will start within 1.5 CLK cycles.
During Power Down Mode, a pulse on CS and WR will
initiate a single conversion, then the ADS7803 will revert to
power down. Also, writing to D1 and D3 in the SFR will
initiate a calibration, do a single conversion and revert to the
Power Down Mode, in 185 clock cycles. Accurate conversion results will be available in the output registers.
This mode allows full control over the sample-to-hold timing, which is especially useful where external events trigger
sampling timing.
The activation delay from power down to normal operation
is included in the sampling time. No extra time is required,
either when coming out of the Power Down Mode or when
making a single conversion in the Power Down Mode.
OPERATION
t8
In the Sample/Hold Control Mode, pin 26 must be held
LOW a minimum of 2.5µs between conversions to allow
accurate acquisition of input signals. Also, offset error will
increase in this mode, since auto-zeroing of the comparator
is not synchronized to the sampling. Minimum offset is
achieved by synchronizing the sampling signal to CLK,
whether internal or external. Ideally, the sampling signal

noise at the analog input, since it could be injected into the
capacitor array.
In the Sample/Hold Control Mode, a LOW pulse on WR
(with CS LOW) will not initiate a conversion, but the rising
edge will latch the multiplexer channel according to the
inputs on A0 and A1. When changing channels, this must be
done at least 2.5µs before pin 26 goes HIGH (to start a
conversion.)
In many applications, a simple passive low-pass filter as
shown in Figure 10a can be used to improve signal quality.
In this case, the source impedance needs to be less than 5kΩ
to keep the induced offset errors below 1/2LSB, and to meet
the acquisition time of five clock cycles. The values in
Figure 10a meet these requirements, and will maintain the
full power bandwidth of the system. For higher source
impedances, a buffer like the one in Figure 10b should be
used.
CONTROL LINES
Table IV shows the functions of the various control lines on
the ADS7803. The use of standard CS, RD and WR control
signals simplifies use with most microprocessors. At the
same time, flexibility is assured by availability of status
information and control functions, both through the SFR and
directly on pins.
INPUT PROTECTION
The input signal range must not exceed ±VREF or VA by
more than 0.3V.
The analog inputs are internally clamped to VA. To prevent
damage to the ADS7803, the current that can flow into the
inputs must be limited to 20mA. One approach is to use an
external resistor in series with the input filter resistor. For
example, a 1kΩ input resistor allows an overvoltage to 20V
without damage.
INSTALLATION
INPUT IMPEDANCE
ADS7803 has a very high input impedance (input bias
current over temperature is 100nA max), and a low 50pF
input capacitance. To ensure a conversion accurate to 12
bits, the analog source must be able to charge the 50pF and
settle within the first five clock cycles after a conversion is
initiated. During this time, the input is also very sensitive to
REFERENCE INPUTS
A 10µF tantalum capacitor is recommended between VREF+
and VREF– to insure low source impedance. These capacitors should be located as close as possible to the ADS7803

power supply rejection, even for higher frequencies, linear
regulated power supplies are recommended.
Care should be taken to insure that VD does not come up
before VA, or permanent damage to the part may occur.
VREF+ must not exceed VA. Although the accuracy is specified with VREF+ = 5V and VREF– = 0V, the converter can
function with VREF+ as low as 4.5V and VREF– as high as
1V.
As long as there is at least a 4.5V difference between VREF+

Note that the electrical specification tables are based on
using an external 2MHz clock. Typically, the specified
accuracy is maintained for clock frequencies between 0.5
and 2.4MHz.
INTERNAL CLOCK OPERATION
Figure 12b shows how to use the internal clock generating
circuitry. The clock frequency depends only on the value of
the resistor, as shown in “Internal Clock Frequency vs
RCLOCK” in the Typical Performance Curves section.
The clock generator can operate between 100kHz and 2MHz.
With R = 100kΩ, the clock frequency will nominally be
800kHz. The internal clock oscillators may vary by up to
20% from device to device, and will vary with temperature,
as shown in the typical performance curves. Therefore, use
of an external clock source is preferred in applications where
control of the conversion timing is critical, or where multiple
converters need to be synchronized.
10Ω
FIGURE 11. Power Supply and Reference Decoupling.
Figure 11 shows a good supply approach, powering both VA
and VD from a clean linear supply, with the 10Ω resistor
between VA and VD insuring that VD comes up after VA.
This is also a good method to further isolate the ADS7803
from digital supplies in a system with significant switching
currents that could degrade the accuracy of conversions.
APPLICATIONS
BIPOLAR INPUT RANGES
Figure 13 shows a circuit to accurately and simply convert
a bipolar ±5V input signal into a unipolar 0 to 5V signal for
conversion by the ADS7803, using a precision, low-cost
complete difference amplifier, INA105.
GROUNDING
To maximize accuracy of the ADS7803, the analog and
digital grounds are not connected internally. These points
should have very low impedance to avoid digital noise
feeding back into the analog ground. The VREF– pin is used
as the reference point for input signals, so it should be
connected directly to AGND to reduce potential noise problems.

This circuit can also be used to adjust gain and offset errors
due to the components preceding the ADS7803, to match the
performance of the self-calibration provided by the converter.
This puts the 12-bit conversion result in the D0 register, as
shown in Figure 15. The address decoder must pull down
ADC_CS AT ADC-ADDRESS to access the Low byte and
ADC-ADDRESS +2 to access the High byte.

INTERFACING TO INTEL MICROPROCESSORS
Figure 17 shows a typical interface to Intel.
A conversion is initiated by write instruction to address
ADC_CS. Data pins DO0 and DO1 select the analog input
channel. The BUSY signal can be used to generate a microprocessor interrupt (INT) when the conversion is completed.
Conversion is initiated by a write instruction decoded by the
address decoder logic, with the lower two bits of the address
bus selecting an ADC input channel, as follows:
A read instruction from the ADC_CS address fetches the
Low byte, and a read instruction from the ADC_CS address
+2 fetches the High byte.

To trim this circuit for full 12-bit precision, R2 and R3 need
to be adjustable over appropriate ranges. To trim, first have
the ADS7803 converting continually and apply +9.9927V
(+10V – 1.5LSB) at the input. Adjust R3 until the ADS7803
output toggles between the codes FFE hex and FFF hex.
This makes R3 extremely close to R1. Then, apply –9.9976V
(–10V + 0.5LSB) at the input, and adjust R2 until the
ADS7803 output toggles between 000 hex and 001 hex. At
each trim point, the current through the third resistor will be
almost zero, so that one trim iteration will be enough in most
cases. More iterations may be required if the op amp selected has large offset voltage or bias currents, or if the +5V
reference is not precise.
