ML2264*
4-Channel High-Speed 8-Bit
A/D Converter with T/H (S/H)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ML2264 is a high-speed, µP compatible, 4-channel
8-bit A/D converter with a conversion time of 680ns over
the operating temperature range and supply voltage
tolerance. The ML2264 operates from a single 5V supply
and has an analog input range from GND to VCC.
■
The ML2264 has two different pin selectable modes. The
T/H mode has an internal track and hold. The S/H mode
has a true internal sample and hold and can digitize 0 to
5V sinusoidal signals as high as 500kHz.
■
The ML2264 digital interface has been designed so that
the device appears as a memory location or I/O port to a
µP. Analog input channels are selected by the latched and
decoded multiplexer address inputs.
■
The ML2264 is an enhanced, pin compatible second
source for the industry standard AD7824. The ML2264
enhancements are faster conversion time, parameters
guaranteed over the supply tolerance and temperature
range, improved digital interface timing, superior power
supply rejection, and better latchup immunity on analog
inputs.

Limits are guaranteed by 100% testing, sampling, or correlation with worst-case test conditions.
When the voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply rails (VIN < GND or VIN > VCC) the absolute value of current at that pin should be limited to 25mA or less.
Typicals are parametric norm at 25°C.
Parameter guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Parameter guaranteed. Parameters not 100% tested are not in outgoing quality level calculation.
Total unadjusted error includes offset, full scale, linearity, sample and hold, and multiplexer errors. Total unadjusted error is tested at the minimum specified times
for WR, RD, tR1, and tP. For example, for the ML2264XCX in the sample and hold mode, WR/RD mode: tWR = 190ns, tRD = 275ns with a frequency of 1.000MHz
(cycle time of 1000ns).
For –VREF • VIN the digital output code will be 0000 0000. Two on-chip diodes are tied to the analog input which will forward conduct for analog input voltages one
diode drop below ground or one diode drop greater than the VCC supply. Be careful, during testing at low VCC levels (4.5V), as high level analog inputs (5V) can
cause this input diode to conduct — especially at elevated temperatures, and cause errors for analog inputs near full scale. The spec allows 100mV forward bias of
either diode. This means that as long as the analog VIN or VREF does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 100mV, the output code will be correct. To achieve
an absolute 0VDC to 5VDC input voltage range will therefore require a minimum supply voltage of 4.900VDC over temperature variations, initial tolerance and
loading.
Conversion time, write-read mode = tWR + tRD + tRI.
Defined from the time an output crosses 0.8V or 2.4V.

ML2264
1.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ML2264 uses a two stage flash technique for A/D
conversion. This technique first performs a 4 bit flash
conversion on VIN to determine the 4 MSB’s. These 4
MSB’s are then cycled through an internal DAC to
recreate the analog input. This reconstructed analog input
signal from the DAC is then subtracted from the input, and
the difference voltage is converted by a second 4 bit flash
conversion, providing the 4 LSB’s of the output data word.
1.1 MULTIPLEXER ADDRESSING
The ML2264 contains a 4-channel single ended analog
multiplexer. A particular input channel is selected by using
the address inputs A0 and A1. The relationship between
the address inputs, A0 and A1, and the analog input
selected is shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Multiplexer Address Decoding
The address inputs are latched into the ML2264 on the
falling edge of the RD, WR, or CS depending on the state
of pins SH/TH and mode as shown in Table 2.

Table 2.
In the Sample & Hold mode of operation CS is used as the
address latch enable, allowing for continuous conversions
without addressing a given analog input for each
conversion.
The Track & Hold mode of operation requires an analog
input to be addressed and latched for each conversion
that the ML2264 performs.
1.2 ANALOG INPUTS
The analog input on the ML2264 behaves differently than
inputs on conventional converters. The analog input
current requirements change while the conversion is in
progress, and the amount of input current depends on
what cycle the converter is in.
The equivalent input circuit for the converter is shown in
Figure 8. When the conversion starts in the T/H mode
(WRØ in the WR-RD mode or RDØ in the RD mode) S1,
S4 and S6 close and S3 opens. This period is known as the
acquisition period where the MSB flash converter tracks
the input signal and the LSB flash converter samples it.
During this period, VIN is connected to the 16 MSB and
15 LSB comparators. Thus 38pF of input capacitance must
be charged up through the combined RON resistance of
the internal analog switches plus any external source
resistance, RS. In addition, there is a stray capacitance of
approximately 11pF that needs to be charged through the
external source resistance RS. This period ends in the WRRD mode when WR or by an internal timer in the RD
mode. At this point S1 and S4 open and the analog input
at VIN is no longer being sampled; thus during this time
the analog voltage on VIN does not affect converter
performance.
As shown above, the critical period for charging up the
analog input occurs when the MSB and LSB comparators
are sampling the input, known as the acquisition period.
The source of the external signal on VIN must adequately
charge up the analog voltage during the acquisition
period. To do this, the input must settle within the
required analog accuracy tolerance at least 50ns before
the end of the acquisition period so that the MSB
comparators have adequate time to make the correct
decision. If more time is needed due to finite charging or
settling time of the external source, the WR low period
can be extended in WR-RD mode. In RD mode, since the
acquisition time is fixed by internal delays, the burden is
on the external source to charge up and settle the input
adequately.
When the ML2264 operates in the S/H mode (pin 23 =
VCC) both the MSB and the LSB flash converter perform a
true sample and hold operation during the acquisition or
sampling period. This period starts after the falling edge of
INT and ends with the falling edge of WR in the WR-RD
mode or the falling edge of RD in the RD mode. The
duration of this period is user controlled and must satisfy a
minimum of tP.
During this period S1, S3, S4 and S6 close, therefore
46pF of input capacitance must be charged up in addition
to the 11pF of stray capacitance.
1.3 TRACK AND HOLD vs. SAMPLE AND HOLD
The MSB Flash Converter of the ML2264 in T/H mode has
a track and hold mechanism for sampling the input. The
input is attached to the MSB comparators directly in the
MSB compare cycle, or acquisition period. When the MSB
compare cycle ends, the state of the MSB comparators is
latched. The LSB Flash Converter always performs a S/H
operation. Thus, the analog input signal can be changing
during the MSB compare cycle, or acquisition period, and
9
ML2264
the MSB comparators will be tracking it as long as the
slew rate of the analog input is slow enough so that the
MSB comparators can respond. The ML2264 can track
and hold signals with slew rates as high as 0.25V/µs
(16kHz @ 5 volts) without sacrificing conversion
accuracy.
The ML2264 in S/H mode does not have the slew rate
limitation of the T/H mode since an internal sample and
hold acquires the analog signal, holds it internally, and
then performs a conversion. Since this is a true sample
and hold function, the S/H mode can theoretically digitize
signals of frequencies much higher than the T/H mode.
The ML2264 in S/H mode can digitize signals of
frequencies as high as 250kHz @ 5V (slew rates as high as
4V/µs) without sacrificing conversion accuracy. In most
applications, the S/H mode is more desirable than T/H
mode because of the better dynamic performance.
1.3.1 Converter — T/H Mode
The operating sequence for the WR-RD mode is illustrated
in Figure 9a. Initially, the internal comparators are autozeroed while WR is high. A conversion is initiated by the
falling edge of WR. While WR is low, the MSB
comparators are tracking the analog input and comparing
this voltage against voltages from the internal resistor
ladder. At the same time, the input is being acquired or
sampled by LSB comparators. On the rising edge of WR,
the MSB comparator results are latched, and the LSB
acquisition time is ended by closing the sampling switch
to the LSB comparators. While WR is high, the LSB
comparators then compare the residual input voltage
against internal voltages from the resistor ladder to
determine the 4 LSB’s. When the LSB comparison or
conversion is complete, INT goes low and latches the
conversion result into the output latches. Then, the
comparators are auto-zeroed while WR is high before
another conversion can start.
The operating sequence for RD mode, is similar to that
described above for the WR-RD mode, except the
conversion is initiated by the falling edge of RD, and the
MSB and LSB conversions are generated by internal clock
edges that are generated while RD is low.

1.3.2 Converter — S/H Mode
The operating sequence for S/H mode is illustrated in
Figure 9b. Notice that it is similar to T/H mode described
above except this mode has a true sample and hold
function. The falling edge of INT closes the sampling
switch and starts the acquisition period where the analog
input is sampled at the same time all comparators are
auto-zeroed. The falling edge of WR opens the internal
sampling switch, ends the acquisition period, and starts
the conversion on the internally sample and held signal.
The MSB comparators make their decisions while WR is
low. On the rising edge of WR, the MSB comparator
results are latched. The LSB comparators make their
decision when WR is high. When the LSB comparison or
conversion is complete, INT goes low and latches the
conversion result into the output buffers. Then, the
acquisition period begins again and the converter is ready
for the next conversion.
The operating sequence for the RD mode is the same as
the WR-RD mode, except the conversion is initiated by
the falling edge of RD, and the MSB and LSB conversions
are generated by internal clock edges that are generated
while RD is low.

A 0.1µF ceramic disc capacitor is recommended to bypass
VCC to GND, using as short a lead length as possible.
If REF+ and REF– inputs are driven by long lines, they
should be bypassed by 0.1µF ceramic disc capacitors at

+VREF and –VREF can be set to any voltage between GND

offset from GND and the difference between +VREF+ and
–VREF– can be made small to increase the resolution of the
conversion. Note that the total unadjusted error increases
when [+VREF – (–VREF)] decreases.

The +VREF and –VREF inputs are the reference voltages that
determine the full scale and zero input voltages,
respectively, for the A/D converter. Thus, +VREF defines
the analog input which produces a full scale output and
–VREF defines the analog input which produces an output
code of all zeroes. The transfer function for the A/D

1.6 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
1.6.1 Sinusoidal Inputs
Since the ML2264 has an internal sample and hold, the
device can digitize high frequency sinusoids with little or
no signal degradations. Using the Nyquist criteria, the
highest frequency input to the converter could
theoretically be 1/2 the sampling rate (fS). Any frequency
components above fS/2 will be aliased below fS/2. In most
applications, these aliased components cause
unacceptable distortion and must be filtered out of the
input. If the input frequency is too close to fS/2, then the
requirements on the anti-alias filter become difficult to
impossible to realize with standard component and
tolerances. In most practical applications, the highest
input frequency has to be limited to 1/3 to 1/4 of fMAX in
order to relax the filtering requirements enough to make a
realizable anti-alias filter.
The maximum sampling rate (fmax) for the ML2264 in the
WR-RD mode, (tRD < tINTL) can be calculated as follows:
fmax =
fmax =
In applications where aliased frequency components are
acceptable and filtering of the input signal is not needed,
or where a filter with a steep amplitude response is
available, the user can apply an input sinusoid higher than
250kHz to the device. Note, however, that as the input
frequency increases above 500kHz, dynamic performance
degradation will occur due to the finite bandwidth of the
internal sample and hold.
The Figure 11 plots are 4096 point FFT’s of the ML2264
converting a 257kHz and a 491kHz, 0 to 4.5V, low
distortion sine wave input. The ML2264 samples and
digitizes at its specified accuracy, dynamic input signals
with frequency components up to the Nyquist frequency
(one-half the sampling rate). The output spectra yields
precise measure-ments of the input signal level, harmonic
components, and signal to noise ratio up to the 8-bit level.
The near ideal signal to noise ratio is maintained
independent of increasing analog input frequencies to
500kHz.
1.6.2 Signal-To-Noise Ratio
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the measured signal to noise
at the output of the converter. The signal is the rms
magnitude of the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all
the nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling
frequency. SNR is dependent on the number of
quantization levels used in the digitization process; the
more the levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The
theoretical SNR for a sine wave is given by
1
t WR + tRD + tRI + tP
1
190ns + 275ns + 235ns + 300ns
fmax = 1.000 MHz
tWR = Write Pulse Width
SNR = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
tRD = Delay Time between WR and RD Pulses
tRI = RD to INT Delay
where N is the number of bits. Thus for ideal 8-bit
converter, SNR = 49.92 dB.
tP = Delay Time between Conversions
1.6.3 HARMONIC DISTORTION
This permits a maximum sampling rate of 1MHz for the
ML2264. The dynamic performance specifications (SNR,
HD, IMD, and FR) for the ML2264 are all specified at
250kHz, which is approximately 1/4 of the sampling rate, fS.
Harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. Total harmonic distortion

1.6.2 Signal-To-Noise Ratio
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the measured signal to noise
at the output of the converter. The signal is the rms
magnitude of the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all
the nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling
frequency. SNR is dependent on the number of
quantization levels used in the digitization process; the
more the levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The
theoretical SNR for a sine wave is given by
SNR = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
where N is the number of bits. Thus for ideal 8-bit
converter, SNR = 49.92 dB.

1.6.4 Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies,
fA and fB, any active device with nonlinearities will create
distortion products, of order (m + n), at sum and
difference frequencies of mfA + nfB, where m, n = 0, 1, 2,
3 … Intermodulation terms are those for which m or n is
not equal to zero. The (IMD) intermodulation distortion
specification includes the second order terms (fA + fB) and
fA – fB) and the third order terms (2fA + fB), (2fA – fB),
(fA + 2fB), and (fA – 2fB) only.
1.7 DIGITAL INTERFACE
The ML2264 has two basic interface modes, RD and WRRD, which are selected by the MODE input pin.
1.7.1 RD Mode
In the RD mode, WR/RDY pin is configured as the RDY
output. The read mode performs a conversion with a
single RD pulse. This allows the µP to start a conversion,
wait, and then read data with a single read instruction.
The timing for the RD mode is shown in Figure 4. To do a
conversion, CS must be low to select the device. After CS
goes low, the RDY output goes low indicating that the
device is ready to do a conversion. The conversion starts
on the falling edge of RD. While RD is low, the MSB and
LSB decisions are made with internally generated clock
edges. When the conversion is complete, RDY goes high
and INT goes low signaling the end of the conversion.
After INT goes low, the data outputs go from high
impedance to active state with valid output data. Data
stays valid until either RD or CS goes high. When either
signal goes high, the output data lines return to the high
impedance state and INT returns high.
1.7.2 WR-RD Mode
In the WR-RD mode, the WR/RDY pin is configured as the
WR input. In this mode, WR initiates the conversion and
RD controls reading the output data. This can be done in
several ways, described below.
1.7.3 WR-RD Mode — Using Internal Delay
(tRD > tINTL)
The timing is shown in Figure 5. To do a conversion, CS
must be low to select the device. Then, WR falling edge
triggers the conversion. While WR is low, the MSB
comparison is made. When WR returns high the LSB
decision is made. After some internal delay, INT goes low
indicating end of conversion. Valid data will appear on
DB0–7 when RD is pulled low. INT is then reset by the
rising edge of either CS or RD.
1.7.4 WR-RD Mode — Reading Before Delay
(tRD < tINTL)
The internally generated delay for the LSB decision when
tRD > tINTL is longer than necessary due to circuit design
tolerances of tINTL delay. If desired, a faster conversion
will result without loss of accuracy by bringing RD low
within the minimum time specified for tRD. The timing
diagram for this mode is shown in Figure 6. WR is the
same as when tRD > tINTL. But in this case, RD is brought
low tRD ns after WR rising edge and before INT. INT goes
low indicating an end of conversion after the falling edge
of RD and is reset on the rising edge of RD or CS. When
RD is brought low before INT goes low the data bus
always remains in the high-impedance state until INTØ.
1.7.5 WR-RD Mode — Stand Alone Operation
Stand alone operation can be implemented by tying CS
and RD low as shown in Figure 7. WR initiates a
conversion as before. When WR is low, the MSB
comparison is made. When, WR goes high, the LSB
comparison is made. Since RD is already low, the output
data will appear automatically at end of conversion. Since
RD is always low, INT is reset on rising edge of WR and
goes low at end of conversion.
1.7.6 Power-On Reset
When power is first applied, an internal power-on reset
and timer circuit inhibits the CS input and resets the
internal circuitry to prevent the ML2264 from starting in
an unknown state. During this period of approximately
3µs, INT remains high and the data bus is in the highimpedance state.
