●
●
●
The ADS7861 is a dual, 12-bit, 500kHz, analog-todigital converter with 4 fully differential input channels
grouped into two pairs for high speed, simultaneous
signal acquisition. Inputs to the sample-and-hold amplifiers are fully differential and are maintained differential to the input of the A/D converter. This provides
excellent common-mode rejection of 80dB at 50kHz
which is important in high noise environments.
The ADS7861 offers a high speed, dual serial interface
and control inputs to minimize software overhead. The
output data for each channel is available as a 12-bit
word. The ADS7861 is offered in a 24-lead SSOP
package and is fully specified over the –40°C to +85°C
operating range.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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.

ADS7861
INTRODUCTION
REFERENCE
Under normal operation, the REFOUT pin (pin 2) should be
directly connected to the REFIN pin (pin 1) to provide an
internal +2.5V reference to the ADS7862. The ADS7862
can operate, however, with an external reference in the range
of 1.2V to 2.6V for a corresponding full-scale range of 2.4V
to 5.2V.
The ADS7861 is a high speed, low power, dual, 12-bit A/D
converter that operates from a single +5V supply. The input
channels are fully differential with a typical common-mode
rejection of 80dB. The part contains dual, 2µs successive
approximation ADCs, two differential sample-and-hold amplifiers, an internal +2.5V reference with REFIN and REFOUT
pins and a high-speed parallel interface. The ADS7861
requires an external clock. In order to achieve the maximum
throughput rate of 500kHz, the master clock must be set at
8MHz. A minimum of 16 clock cycles are required for each
12-bit conversion.
The internal reference of the ADS7862 is double-buffered.
If the internal reference is used to drive an external load, a
buffer is provided between the reference and the load applied to pin 2 (the internal reference can typically source
2mA of current load—capacitance should not exceed 100pF).
If an external reference is used, the second buffer provides
isolation between the external reference and the CDAC.
This buffer is also used to recharge all of the capacitors of
both CDACs during conversion.
There are four analog inputs that are grouped into two channels (A and B). Channel selection is controlled by the M0 (pin
14), M1 (pin 15) and A0 (pin 16) pins. Each channel has two
inputs (A0 and A1 and B0 and B1) that can be sampled and
converted simultaneously, thus preserving the relative phase
information of the signals on both analog inputs. The part
accepts an analog input voltage in the range of –VREF to
+VREF, centered around the internal +2.5V reference. The part
will also accept bipolar input ranges when a level shift circuit
is used at the front end (see Figure 7).
ANALOG INPUT
The analog input is bipolar and fully differential. There are
two general methods of driving the analog input of the
ADS7861: single-ended or differential (see Figures 1 and 2).
When the input is single-ended, the –IN input is held at the
common-mode voltage. The +IN input swings around the
same common voltage and the peak-to-peak amplitude is the
(common-mode +VREF) and the (common-mode –VREF).
The value of VREF determines the range over which the
common-mode voltage may vary (see Figure 3).
All conversions are initiated on the ADS7861 by bringing
the CONVST pin HIGH for a minimum of 15ns. CONVST
HIGH places both sample-and-hold amplifiers in the hold
state simultaneously and the conversion process is started on
both channels. The RD pin (pin 18) can be connected to
CONVST to simplify operation. Depending on the status of
the M0, M1 and A0 pins, the ADS7861 will (a) operate in
either two-channel or four-channel mode and (b) output data
on both the Serial A and Serial B output or both channels can
be transmitted on the A output only.
When the input is differential, the amplitude of the input is the
difference between the +IN and –IN input, or (+IN) – (–IN).
The peak-to-peak amplitude of each input is ±1/2VREF around
this common voltage. However, since the inputs are 180° out
of phase, the peak-to-peak amplitude of the differential voltage is +VREF to –VREF. The value of VREF also determines the
range of the voltage that may be common to both inputs (see
Figure 4).
NOTE: See the Timing and Control section of this data sheet
for more information.
SAMPLE-AND-HOLD SECTION
The sample-and-hold amplifiers on the ADS7861 allow the
ADCs to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale
amplitude to 12-bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the
sample-and-hold is greater than the Nyquist rate (Nyquist
equals one-half of the sampling rate) of the ADC even when
the ADC is operated at its maximum throughput rate of
500kHz. The typical small-signal bandwidth of the sampleand-hold amplifiers is 40MHz.

Common
Voltage
Single-Ended Input
Typical aperture delay time or the time it takes for the
ADS7861 to switch from the sample to the hold mode
following the CONVST pulse is 3.5ns. The average delta of
repeated aperture delay values is typically 50pS (also known
as aperture jitter). These specifications reflect the ability of
the ADS7861 to capture AC input signals accurately at the
exact same moment in time.

In each case, care should be taken to ensure that the output
impedance of the sources driving the +IN and –IN inputs are
matched. Otherwise, this may result in offset error, gain
error and linearity error which will change with both temperature and input voltage.
capacitance has been fully charged, there is no further input
current. The source of the analog input voltage must be able
to charge the input capacitance (15pF) to a 12-bit settling
level within 2 clock cycles. When the converter goes into the
hold mode, the input impedance is greater than 1GΩ.
The input current on the analog inputs depend on a number
of factors: sample rate, input voltage, and source impedance.
Essentially, the current into the ADS7861 charges the internal capacitor array during the sampling period. After this
Care must be taken regarding the absolute analog input
voltage. The +IN input should always remain within the
range of GND – 300mV to VDD + 0.3V.

TRANSITION NOISE
Figure 5 shows a histogram plot for the ADS7861 following
8,000 conversions of a DC input. The DC input was set at
output code 2046. All but one of the conversions had an
output code result of 2046 (one of the conversions resulted
in an output of 2047). The histogram reveals the excellent
noise performance of the ADS7861.

BIPOLAR INPUTS
The differential inputs of the ADS7861 were designed to
accept bipolar inputs (–VREF and +VREF) around the internal
reference voltage (2.5V), which corresponds to a 0V to 5V
input range with a 2.5V reference. By using a simple op amp
circuit featuring a single amplifier and four external resistors, the ADS7861 can be configured to except bipolar
inputs. The conventional ±2.5V, ±5V, and ±10V input
ranges can be interfaced to the ADS7861 using the resistor
values shown in Figure 7.

TIMING AND CONTROL
The operation of the ADS7861 can be configured in four
different modes by using the address pins M0 (pin 14), M1
(pin 15) and A0 (pin 16).
The M0 pin selects between two- and four-channel operation
(in two-channel operation, the A0 pin selects between Channels 0 and 1; in four-channel operation the A0 pin is ignored
and the channels are switched automatically after each
conversion). The M1 pin selects between having serial data
transmitted simultaneously on both the Serial A data output
(pin 23) and the Serial B data output (pin 22) or having both
channels output data through the Serial A port. The A0 pin
selects either Channel 0 or Channel 1 (see Pin Descriptions
and Serial Output Truth Table for more information).

Mode I (M0 = 0, M1 = 0)
With the M0 and M1 pins both set to ‘0’, the ADS7861 will
operate in two-channel operation (the A0 pin must be used
to switch between Channels A and B). A conversion is
initiated by bringing CONVST HIGH for a minimum of
15ns. It is very important that CONVST be brought HIGH
a minimum of 10ns prior to a rising edge of the external
clock or 5ns after the rising edge. If CONVST is brought

HIGH within this window, it is then uncertain as to when the
ADS7861 will initiate conversion (see Figure 8 for a more
detailed description). Sixteen clock cycles are required to
perform a single conversion. Immediately following
CONVST switching to HIGH, the ADS7861 will switch
from the sample mode to the hold mode asynchronous to the
external clock. The BUSY output pin will then go HIGH and
remain HIGH for the duration of the conversion cycle. On
the falling edge of the first cycle of the external clock, the
ADS7861 will latch in the address for the next conversion
cycle depending on the status of the A0 pin (HIGH =
Channel 1, LOW = Channel 0). The address must be selected
15ns prior to the falling edge of cycle one of the external
clock and must remain ‘held’ for 15ns following the clock
edge. For maximum throughput time, the CONVST and RD
pins should be tied together. CS must be brought LOW to
enable the two serial outputs. Data will be valid on the rising
edge of all 16 clock cycles per conversion. The first bit of
data will be a status flag for either Channel 0 or 1, the second
bit will be a second status flag for either Channel A or B.
The subsequent data will be MSB-first through the LSB,
followed by two zeros (see Table II and Figures 9 and 10).

NOTE: All CONVST commands which occur more than 10ns before the rising edge of cycle ‘1’ of the external clock
(Region ‘A’) will initiate a conversion on the rising edge of cycle ‘1’. All CONVST commands which occur 5ns after
the rising edge of cycle ‘1’ or 10ns before the rising edge of cycle 2 (Region ‘B’) will initiate a conversion on the
rising edge of cycle ‘2’. All CONVST commands which occur 5ns after the rising edge of cycle ‘2’ (Region ‘C’) will
initiate a conversion on the rising edge of the next clock period. The CONVST pin should never be switched from
LOW to HIGH in the region 10ns prior to the rising edge of the CLOCK and 5ns after the rising edge (gray areas). If
CONVST is toggled in this gray area, the conversion could begin on either the same rising edge of the CLOCK or
the following edge.

ADS7861
Mode II (M0 = 0, M1 = 1)
of the analog comparator. Thus, driving any single conversion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are n “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. Their error can change if the external event
changes in time with respect to the CLOCK input.
With M1 set to ‘1’, the ADS7861 will output data on the
Serial Data A pin only. All other pins function in the same
manner as Mode I except that the Serial Data B output will
tri-state (i.e., high impedance) after a conversion following
M1 going HIGH. Another difference in this mode involves
the CONVST pin. Since it takes 32 clock cycles to output
the results from both A/D converters (rather than 16 when
M1 = 0), the ADS7861 will take 4µs to complete a
conversion on both A/Ds. Therefore, every second CONVST
command will be ignored by the ADS7861 since it will
require two conversion cycles to transmit both channels
out the serial A port. See Figure 11.
With this in mind, power to the ADS7861 should be clean
and well bypassed. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor should
be placed as close to the device as possible. In addition, a
1µF to 10µF capacitor is recommended. If needed, an even
larger capacitor and a 5Ω or 10Ω series resistor may be used
to low pass filter a noisy supply. On average, the ADS7861
draws very little current from an external reference as the
reference voltage is internally buffered. However, glitches
from the conversion process appear at the VREF input and the
reference source must be able to handle this. Whether the
reference is internal or external, the VREF pin should be
bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor. An additional larger capacitor may also be used, if desired. 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. No bypass capacitor is necessary when using the
internal reference (tie pin 10 directly to pin 11).
Mode III (M0 = 1, M1 = 0)
With M0 set to ‘1’, the ADS7861 will cycle through Channels 0 and 1 sequentially (the A0 pin is ignored). At the same
time, setting M1 to ‘0’ places both Serial Outputs, A and B,
in the active mode. See Figure 12.
Mode IV (M0 = 1, M1 = 1)
Similar to Mode II, Mode IV uses the Serial A output line to
transmit data exclusively. Following the first conversion
after M1 goes HIGH, the serial B output will go into tristate. See Figure 13. As in Mode II, the second CONVST
command is always ignored when M1 = 1.
The GND pin should be connected to a clean ground point.
In many cases, this will be the ‘analog’ ground. Avoid
connections which are too near the grounding point of a
microcontroller or digital signal processor. If required, run a
ground trace directly from the converter to the power supply
entry point. The ideal layout will include an analog ground
plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog
circuitry.
READING DATA
In all four timing diagrams, the CONVST pin and the RD
pins are tied together. If so desired, the two lines can be
separated. Data on the Serial Output pins (A and B) will
become valid following the third external clock cycle following a RD LOW. Refer to Table II for data output format.
LAYOUT
APPLICATIONS
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the
physical layout of the ADS7861 circuitry. This is particularly true if the CLOCK input is approaching the maximum
throughput rate.
An applications section will be added featuring the ADS7862
interfacing to popular DSP processors. The updated data
sheet will be available in the near future on the Burr-Brown
web site:
http: //www.burr-brown.com/
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 latching the output
