TIMING DIAGRAMS
In the following descriptions, the signal CONVST_QUAL represents CONVST latched by a low value on CS (see
Figure 39).
To avoid performance degradation, there are three quiet zones to be observed (tquiet1 and tquiet2 are zones before
and after the falling edge of CONVST_QUAL while tquiet3 is a time zone before the falling edge of BUSY) where
there should be no I/O activities. Interface control signals, including the serial clock should remain steady. Typical
degradation in performance if these quiet zones are not observed is depicted in the specifications section.
To avoid data loss a read operation should not start around the BUSY falling edge. This is constrained by tsu2,
tsu3, th2, and th8.

CONVERSION AND SAMPLING
1. Convert start command:
The device enters the conversion phase from the sampling phase when a falling edge is detected on
CONVST_QUAL. This is shown in Figure 41, Figure 42, and Figure 43.
2. Sample (acquisition) start command:
The device starts sampling from the wait state or at the end of a conversion if CONVST_QUAL is detected
as high and CS as low. This is shown in Figure 41, Figure 42, and Figure 43.
Maintaining this condition when the device has just finished a conversion (as shown in Figure 41) takes the
device immediately into the sampling phase after the conversion phase (back-to-back conversion) and hence
achieves maximum throughput. Otherwise, the device enters the wait state.

is shown in Figure 42.

If lower power dissipation is desired and throughput can be compromised, a nap state can be inserted in
between cycles (as shown in Figure 43). The device enters a low power (3 mA) state called nap if the end of
the conversion happens when CONVST_QUAL is low. The cost for using this special wait state is a longer
sampling time (tacq2) plus the nap time.

4. Conversion abort command
An ongoing conversion can be aborted by using the conversion abort command. This is done by forcing
another start of conversion (a valid CONVST_QUAL falling edge) onto an ongoing conversion as shown in
Figure 44. The device enters the wait state after an aborted conversion. If the previous conversion was
successfully aborted, the device output reads 0xFF00 on SDO.

DATA READ OPERATION
Data read control is independent of conversion control. Data can be read either during conversion or during
sampling. Data that is read during a conversion involves latency of one sample. The start of a new data frame
around the fall of BUSY is constrained by tsu2, tsu3, th2, and th8.
1. SPI Interface:
A data read operation in SPI interface mode is shown in Figure 45. FS must be tied high for operating in this
mode. The MSB of the output data is available at the falling edge of CS. MSB – 1 is shifted out at the first
rising edge after the first falling edge of SCLK after CS falling edge. Subsequent bits are shifted at the
subsequent rising edges of SCLK. If another data frame is attempted (by pulling CS high and subsequently
low) during an active data frame, then the ongoing frame is aborted and a new frame is started.

A data read operation in this mode is shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47. The MSB of the output data is

The ADS8370 is a high-speed successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
architecture is based on charge redistribution, which inherently includes a sample/hold function.
The device includes a built-in conversion clock, internal reference, and 40-MHz SPI compatible serial interface.
The maximum conversion time is 1.16 µs which is capable of sustaining a 600-kHz throughput.
The analog input is provided to the two input pins: +IN and –IN. When a conversion is initiated, the differential
input on 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 ADS8370 has a built-in 4.096-V (nominal value) reference but can operate with an external reference also.
When the internal reference is used, pin 9 (REFOUT) should be shorted to pin 8 (REFIN) and a 0.1-µF
decoupling capacitor and a 1-µF storage capacitor must be connected between pin 8 (REFIN) and pin 7 (REFM)
(see Figure 48). The internal reference of the converter is buffered.

The REFIN pin is also internally buffered. This eliminates the need to put a high bandwidth buffer on the board to
drive the ADC reference and saves system area and power. When an external reference is used, the reference
must be of low noise, which may be achieved by the addition of bypass capacitors from the REFIN pin to the
REFM pin. See Figure 49 for operation of the ADS8370 with an external reference. REFM must be connected to
the analog ground plane.

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 +IN input has a range of –0.2 V to (+VREF + 0.2 V), whereas the –IN input has a
range of –0.2 V to +0.2 V. The input span [+IN – (–IN)] is limited from 0 V to VREF.
The input current on the analog inputs depends upon throughput and the frequency content of the analog input

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION (continued)
signals. Essentially, the current into the ADS8370 charges the internal capacitor array during the sampling
(acquisition) time. After this capacitance has been fully charged, there is no further input current. The source of
the analog input voltage must be able to charge the device sampling capacitance (40 pF each from +IN/–IN to
AGND) to an 16-bit settling level within the sampling (acquisition) time of the device. When the converter goes
into hold mode, the input resistance is greater than 1 GΩ.
Care must be taken regarding the absolute analog input voltage. To maintain the linearity of the converter, the
+IN, –IN inputs and the span [+IN – (–IN)] 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 the output impedance of the sources driving +IN and –IN inputs are
matched. If this is not observed, the two inputs can have different settling times. This can result in offset error,
gain error, and linearity error which vary with temperature and input voltage.
A typical input circuit using TI's THS4031 is shown in Figure 52. In the figure, input from a bipolar source is
converted to a unipolar signal for the ADS8370. In the case where the source signal is in range for the ADS8370,
the circuit in Figure 51 may be used. Most of the specified performance figure were measured using the circuit in
Figure 51.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
TIMING AND CONTROL
Conversion and sampling are controlled by the CONVST and CS pins. See the timing diagrams for detailed
information on timing signals and their requirements. The ADS8370 uses an internally generated clock to control
the conversion rate and in turn the throughput of the converter. SCLK is used for reading converted data only. A
clean and low jitter conversion start command is important for the performance of the converter. There is a
minimal quiet zone requirement around the conversion start command as mentioned in the timing requirements
table.

READING DATA
The ADS8370 offers a high speed serial interface that is compatible with the SPI protocol. The device outputs
data in either 2's complement format or straight binary format depending on the state of the SB/2C pin. Refer to

To avoid performance degradation due to the toggling of device buffers, read operation must not be performed in
the specified quiet zones (tquiet1, tquiet2, and tquiet3). Internal to the device, the previously converted data is updated
with the new data near the fall of BUSY. Hence, the fall of CS and the fall of FS around the fall of BUSY is
constrained. This is specified by tsu2, tsu3, th2, and th8 in the timing requirements table.
POWER SAVING
The converter provides two power saving modes, full power down and nap. Refer to Table 2 for information on
activation/deactivation and resumption time for both modes.

FULL POWER-DOWN MODE
Full power-down mode is activated by turning off the supply or by asserting PD to 1. See Figure 53 and
Figure 54. The device can be resumed from full power down by either turning on the power supply or by
de-asserting the PD pin. The first two conversions produce inaccurate results because during this period the
device loads its trim values to ensure the specified accuracy.
If an internal reference is used (with a 1-µF capacitor installed between the REFOUT and REFM pins), the total
resume time (td18) is 25 ms. After the first two conversions, td17 (4 ms) is required for the trimmed internal
reference voltage to settle to the specified accuracy. Only then the converted results match the specified
accuracy.

NAP MODE
Nap mode is automatically inserted at the end of a conversion if CONVST_QUAL is held low at EOC. The device
can be operated in nap mode at the end of every conversion for saving power at lower throughputs. Another way
to use this mode is to convert multiple times and then enter nap mode. The minimum sampling time after a nap
state is tacq1 + td18 = tacq2.

LAYOUT
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the physical layout of the ADS8370 circuitry.
Since the ADS8370 offers single-supply operation, it is often used in close proximity with digital logic,
microcontrollers, microprocessors, and digital signal processors. The more the digital logic in the design and the
higher the switching speed, the greater the need for better layout and isolation of the critical analog signals from
these switching digital signals.
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 and just prior to the latching of the
analog comparator. Such glitches might originate from switching power supplies, nearby digital logic, or high
power devices. Noise during the end of sampling and the latter half of the conversion must be kept to a minimum
(the former half of the conversion is not very sensitive since the device uses a proprietary error correction
algorithm to correct for the transient errors made here).
The degree of error in the digital output depends on the reference voltage, layout, and the exact timing and
degree of the external event.
On average, the ADS8370 draws very little current from an external reference as the reference voltage is
internally buffered. If the reference voltage is external, it must be ensured that the reference source can drive the
bypass capacitor without oscillation. A 0.1-µF bypass capacitor is recommended from pin 8 directly to pin 7
(REFM).
The AGND and BDGND pins should be connected to a clean ground point. In all cases, this should be the
analog ground. Avoid connections that are too close to 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 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 or trace that is separate
from the connection for digital logic until they are connected at the power entry point. Power to the ADS8370
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 these capacitors. In addition, 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.
