Control Truth Table 304 OPERATION 0 H -> L OPERATION FEATURES… The SP8481 Series are complete data acquisition systems, featuring 8-channel multiplexer, internal reference and 12-bit sampling A/D converter implemented as a single monolithic IC. The analog multiplexer accepts 0V to +5V unipolar full scale inputs. Output data is formatted as an 8-bit/4-bit nibble. Linearity errors of ±0.5 and ±1.0 LSB, and Differential Non-linearity to 12-bits is guaranteed, with no missing codes over temperature. Channel-to-channel crosstalk is typically -85dB. Multiplexer settling plus acquisition time is 1.9µs maximum; A/D conversion time is 8.1µs maximum. Versions of the SP8481 Series are available in 32-pin plastic DIP or SOIC packages. Operating temperature ranges are 0°C to +70°C commercial and -40°C to +85°C industrial. CIRCUIT OPERATION… The SP8481 is a complete 8-channel data acquisition system (DAS), with on-board multiplexer, voltage reference, sample–and–hold, clock and tri–state outputs. The digital control architecture is very similar to the industry-standard 574-type A/D, and uses identical control lines and digital states. The multiplexer for the SP8481 is identical in operation to many discrete devices available today, except that it has been integrated into the single-chip DAS. The appropriate channel is selected using the MUX address lines MA0, MA1, and MA2 per the truth table. The selected analog input is fed through to the ADC. The input impedance into any MUX channel will be on the order to 109 ohms, since it is connected to the integral sampling structure of the capacitor DAC. Crosstalk is kept to -85dB at 0V to 5Vp-p over an input frequency range of 10kHz to 50kHz. When the control section of the SP8481 initiates a conversion command the internal clock is enabled, and the successive approximation register (SAR) is reset to all zeros. Once the conversion has been started it cannot be stopped or restarted. Data is not available at the output buffers until the conversion has been completed. The SAR, timed by the clock, sequences through the conversion cycle and returns an end–of– convert flag to the control section of the ADC. The clock is then disabled by the control section, which puts the STATUS output line low. The control section is enabled to allow the data to be read by external command (R/C). Multiplexer Control and Inputs On the SP8481 the multiplexer inputs are latched with LATCH. The address line latches MA0, MA1 and MA2 select the appropriate analog input channel. When low, the LATCH line retains the last MUX address data, and therefore the previously addressed MUX channel. All channels may be deselected by bringing the MAEN control line to a logic “1”. When this control function is used, the analog input will be connected to pin 8 or analog ground. Since the MUX address latches are controlled by the LATCH and MAEN control lines, MUX channel select data need not be held by the bus for any minimum period after the conversion has been initiated. However it is advisable that the MUX not be changed at all during the full 10µs conversion time due to capacitive coupling effects of digital edges through the silicon. The SP8481 multiplexer inputs have been designed to allow substantial overvoltage conditions to occur without any damage. The inputs are diode-clamped and further protected with a 200Ω series resistor. As a result, momentary (10 seconds) input voltages can be as low as -16.5V or as high as +31.5V with no change or degradation in multiplexer performance or crosstalk. This feature allows the output voltage of an externally connected op amp to swing to ±15V supply levels with no multiplexer damage. Complicated power-up sequencing is not required to protect the SP8481. The multiplexer inputs may be damaged, however, if the inputs are allowed to either source or sink greater than 100mA. Initiating a Conversion The SP8481 was designed to require a minimum of control to perform a 12-bit conversion. The control input used is R/C which tri-states the 305 +15V +15V 125KΩ 100KΩ SP8481 OFFSET ADJUST SP8481 GAIN ADJUST 4 5 10KΩ ±0.3% Trim Range 5KΩ Center pot for zero correction –1.5mV to +3mV 19KΩ Figure 1. Offset Adjust Figure 2. Gain Adjust outputs when high and starts the conversion when low. CS and CE may also be used with R/C to initiate a conversion. The last of the three inputs to reach the correct state starts the conversion, therefore one, two or all three may be dynamically controlled. The nominal delay from all three is the same and they may change state simultaneously. In order to ensure that a particular input controls the conversion the other two should be set up at least 50ns earlier. The STATUS line indicates when a conversion is in process and when it is complete. The A0 input is used to configure the output data. The first 8 MSBs will be on pins 26 through 19, with pin 26 being the MSB. The remaining 4 LSBs will be on pins 23 through 26 with pin 23 being the LSB. When A0 is switched from one state to the next, there is a 50ns output latch propagation delay between the MSBs and LSBs being present on the output pins. The conversion cycle is started when R/C is brought low and must be held low for a minimum of 50ns. The R/C signal will also put the output latches in a tri-state mode when low. Approximately 200ns after R/C is low, STATUS will change from low to high. This output signal will stay high while the SP8481 is performing a conversion. Valid data will be latched to the output bus, through internal control, 500ns prior to the STATUS line transitioning from a high to low. Reading the Data The output data buffers will remain in a high impedance state until the following four conditions are met: R/C is HIGH, STATUS is LOW, CE is HIGH and CS is LOW. The data lines become active in response to the four conditions and will latch data according to the conditions of A0 line. Please refer to Figure 5 for the appropriate timing. All conditions must be met at least 50ns prior to reading the data to allow sufficient time for the output latches to come out of the high impedance state. A0 is used to access the data. 306 CALIBRATION The calibration procedure for the SP8481 consists of adjusting the most negative input voltage (0V) to the ideal output code for offset adjustment, and then adjusting the most positive input voltage (5.0V) to its ideal output code for gain adjustment. Offset Adjustment The offset adjustment must be completed first. Please refer to Figure 1. Apply an input voltage of 0.5LSB or 610µV to any multiplexer input. Adjust the offset potentiometer so that the output code fluctuates evenly between 000…000 and 000…001. It is only necessary to observe the lower eight LSB’s during this procedure. Gain Adjustment With the offset adjusted, the gain error can now be trimmed to zero. The ideal input voltage corresponding to 1.5 LSB’s below the nominal full scale input value, or +4.988V, is applied to any multiplexer input. The gain potentiometer is adjusted so that the output code alternates evenly between 111…111 and 111…110. Again, only the lower eight LSB’s need be observed during this procedure. With the above adjustment made, the converter is now calibrated. tMDS LATCH tMDH MA0 - MA2 tHRL R/C tDS STATUS tC tHDR DB11 - DB0 tHS DATA VALID DATA VALID LOW PULSE FOR R/C DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS VCC = +15V; VLOGIC = +5V; TA = 25°C PARAMETER MIN.
