Conversion times are factory set for 2.70µs, 4.7µs and 9.7µs maximum, respectively, over temperature, and the highspeed sampling input stage insures a total acquisition and conversion time of 3µs, 5µs and 10µs maximum, respectively, over temperature. Precision, laser-trimmed scaling resistors provide industry-standard input ranges of 0V to +5V or 0V to +10V. The 28-pin SP86XX Series are available in narrow plastic DIP, and SOIC packages and it operates from a single +5V supply. The SP86XX Series are available in grades specified over the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature ranges. OPERATION Basic Operation Figure 1 shows the simple hookup circuit required to operate the SP86XX Series in a 0V to +10V range in the Convert Mode. A convert command arriving on R/C puts the SP86XX Series in the HOLD mode, and a conversion is started. This pulse must be LOW for a minimum of 40ns. Because this pulse establishes the sampling instant of the A/D, it must have very low jitter. BUSY will be held LOW during the conversion, and rises only Input 1 N.C.

In the Read Mode, R/C is kept normally LOW, and a HIGH pulse is used to read data and initiate a conversion. In this mode, the rising edge of R/C will enable the output data pins, and the data from the previous conversion becomes valid. The falling edge then puts the SP86XX Series in a hold mode, and initiates a new conversion. For use with an 8-bit bus, the data can be read out in two bytes under the control of HBE. With a LOW input on HBE, at the end of a conversion, the 8 LSBs of data are loaded into the output drivers on D7 through D4 and D3 through D0. Taking HBE HIGH then loads the 4 MSBs on D3 through D0, with D7 through D4 being forced LOW. Analog Input Ranges The SP86XX Series offers two standard unipolar input ranges: 0V to +10V and 0V to +5V. If a 10V unipolar range is required, the analog input signal should be connected to pin 2. A signal requiring a 5V unipolar range should be connected to pin 3. In either case, the other pin of the two must be grounded or connected to the adjustment circuits described in the section on calibration.

Thus, the rising edge can be used to read the data from the conversion. Also, during conversion, the BUSY signal puts the output data lines in Hi-Z states and inhibits the input lines. This means that pulses on R/C are ignored, so that new conversions cannot be initiated during a conversion. Convert Command N.C. 15 Data Out Figure 1. Basic 0V to 10V Operation D0 (LSB) Controlling The SP86XX Series The SP86XX Series can be easily interfaced to most microprocessor-based and other digital systems. The microprocessor may take full control of each conversion, or the SP86XX Series may operate in a standalone mode, controlled only by the R/C input. Full control consists of initiating the conversion and reading the output data at user command, transmitting data either all 12-bits in one parallel word, or in two 8-bit bytes. The three control inputs (CS, R/C and HBE) are all TTL/CMOS compatible. The functions of the 83 CS R/C 1 X HBE BUSY X None – outputs in Hi-Z state. 0 1 Holds signal and initiates conversion. 0 1 0 1 Output three-state buffers enabled once conversion has finished. 0 1 1 1 Enable hi-byte in 8-bit bus mode. 0 0 0 OPERATION 1 1 1 1 Inhibit start of conversion. 0 1 0 0 1 1 None – outputs in Hi-Z state. X X X 0 Conversion in progress. Outputs Hi-Z state. New conversion inhibited until present conversion has finished. Table 1. Control Line Functions control lines are shown in Table 1. For stand-alone operation, control of the SP86XX Series is accomplished by a single control line connected to R/C. In this mode, CS and HBE are connected to GND. The output data are presented as 12-bit words. The stand-alone mode is used in systems containing dedicated input ports which do not require full bus interface capability. Conversion is initiated by a HIGH-to-LOW transition on R/C. The three-state data output buffers are enabled when R/C is HIGH and BUSY is HIGH. Thus, there are two possible modes of operation: conversion can be initiated with either positive or negative pulses. In either case, the R/C pulse must remain LOW a minimum of 40ns. Figure 5 illustrates timing when conversion is initiated by an R/C pulse which goes LOW and returns HIGH during the conversion. In this case (Convert Mode), the three-state outputs go into the Hi-Z state in response to the falling edge of R/C, and are enabled for external access to the data after completion of the conversion. Figure 6 illustrates the timing when conversion is initiated by a positive R/C pulse. In this mode (Read Mode), the output data from the previous conversion is enabled during the HIGH portion of R/C. A new conversion starts on the falling edge of R/C, and the three-state outputs return to the Hi-Z state until the next occurrence of a HIGH on R/C. Conversion Start A conversion is initiated on the SP86XX Series only by a negative transition occurring on R/C, as shown 84 in Table 2. No other combination of states or transitions will initiate a conversion. Conversion is inhibited if either CS or HBE are HIGH, or if BUSY is LOW. CS and HBE should be stable a minimum of 25ns prior to the transition on R/C. Timing relationships for start of conversion are illustrated in Figure 7. The BUSY output indicates the current state of the converter by being LOW only during conversion. During this time the three-state output buffers remain in a Hi-Z state, and therefore data cannot be read during conversion. During this period, additional transitions on the three digital inputs (CS, R/C and HBE) will be ignored, so that conversion cannot be prematurely terminated or restarted. Internal Clock The SP86XX Series has an internal clock that is factory trimmed to achieve the typical conversion times given in the specifications, and a maximum conversion time over the full operating temperature range of 2.7µs, 4.7µs or 9.7µs, depending on the model. No external adjustments are required, and with the guaranteed maximum acquisition time of 300ns, throughput performance is assured with convert pulses as close as 3µs for the SP8603. Reading Data After conversion is initiated, the output buffers remain in a Hi-Z state until the following three logic conditions are simultaneously met: R/C is HIGH, BUSY is HIGH and CS is LOW. Upon satisfying these conditions, the data lines are enabled according to the state of HBE. See Figure 7 for timing relationships and specifications. CALIBRATION...

Calibration Procedure Apply a precision input voltage source to your chosen input range (10V range at pin 2 or 5V at pin 3). Set the A/D to convert continuously. Monitor the output code. Trim the offset first, then gain. Use the appropriate input voltages and output target codes for your chosen input range as follows.

The output impedance provided by most op amps is ideal. Pins 26 Digital Supply Voltage (VSD) and 27 Analog Supply Voltage (VSA) are brought out to separate pins to maximize accuracy on the chip. They should be connected together as close as possible to the unit. Pin 27 may be slightly more sensitive than pin 26 to supply variations, but to maintain maximum system accuracy, both should be well–isolated from digital supplies with wide load variations. The GND pins (5 and 16) are also separated internally, and should be directly connected to a ground plane under the converter. A ground plane is usually the best solution for preserving dynamic performance and reducing noise coupling into sensitive converter circuits. Where any compromises must be made, the common return of the analog input signal should be referenced to pin 5, AGND, on the SP86XX Series, which prevents any voltage drops that might occur in the power supply common returns from appearing in series with the input signal. To limit the effects of digital switching elsewhere in a system on the analog performance of the system, it often makes sense to run a separate +5V supply conductor from the supply regulator to any analog components requiring +5V, including the SP86XX Series. If the SP86XX Series traces cannot be separated back to the power supply terminals, and therefore share the same trace as the logic supply currents, then a 10 Ohm isolating resistor should be used between the board supply and pin 24 (VDA) and its bypass capacitors to keep VDA glitch–free. The VS pins (26 and 27) should be connected together and bypassed with a parallel combination of a 6.8µF Tantalum capacitor and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor located close to the converter to obtain noise-free operation. (See Figure 1). Noise on the power supply lines can degrade converter performance, especially noise and spikes from a switching power supply. Appropriate supplies or filters must be used. Coupling between analog input and digital lines should be minimized by careful layout. For instance, if the lines must cross, they should do so at right angles. Parallel analog and digital lines should be separated from each other by a pattern connected to common. If external full scale and offset potentiometers are used, the potentiometers and related resistors should be located as close to the SP86XX Series as possible. “Hot Socket” Precaution Two separate +5V VS pins, 26 and 27, are used to minimize noise caused by digital transients. If one pin is powered and the other is not, the SP86XX Series may draw excessive current. In normal operation, this is not a problem because both pins will be soldered together. However, during evaluation, incoming inspection, repair, etc., where the potential of a “Hot Socket” exists, care should be taken to apply power to R/C tB BUSY t DBC tC Converter Acquisition Mode Conversion Acquisition Conversion tAP Hold Time SYMBOL/PARAMETER TYP.

Convert Mode Timing — R/C Pulse LOW, Outputs Enabled After Conversion the SP86XX Series only after it has been socketed. Minimizing “Glitches” Coupling of external transients into an analog-todigital converter can cause errors which are difficult to debug. In addition to the discussions earlier on layout considerations for supplies, bypassing and grounding, there are several other useful steps that can be taken to get the best analog performance out of a system using the SP86XX Series. These potential system problem sources are particularly important to consider when developing a new system, and looking for the causes of errors in breadboards. R/C First, care should be taken to avoid glitches during critical times in the sampling and conversion process. Since the SP86XX Series has an internal sample/hold function, the signal that puts it into the hold state (R/C going LOW) is critical, as it would be on any sample/ hold amplifier. The R/C falling edge should have a 5 to 10ns transition time, low jitter, and have minimal ringing, especially during the 20ns after it falls. Although not normally required, it is also good practice to avoid glitches from coupling to the SP86XX Series while bit decisions are being made.

R/C, it makes sense to keep the rising edge of the convert pulse outside the time when bit decisions are being made. In other words, the convert pulse should either be short (under 100ns so that it transitions before the MSB decision), or relatively long (i.e., for the SP8603, over 2.75µs to transition after the LSB decision). Next, although the data outputs are forced into a Hi-Z state during conversion, fast bus transients can still be capacitively coupled into the SP86XX Series. If the data bus experiences fast transients during conversion, these transients can be attenuated by adding a logic buffer to the data outputs. The BUSY output can be used to enable the buffer. Naturally, transients on the analog input signal are to be avoided, especially at times within ±20ns of R/C going LOW, when they may be trapped as part of the charge on the capacitor array. This requires careful 88 layout of the circuit in front of the SP86XX Series. Finally, in multiplexed systems, the timing relative to when the multiplexer is switched may affect the analog performance of the system. In most applications, the multiplexer can be switched as soon as R/C goes LOW (with appropriate delays), but this may affect the conversion if the switched signal shows glitches or significant ringing at the SP86XX Series input. Whenever possible, it is safer to wait until the conversion is completed before switching and multiplexer. The extremely fast acquisition time and conversion time of the SP86XX Series make this practical in many applications.
