The devices feature a successive-approximation register (SAR), automatic shutdown, fast wakeup (1.4µs),
and low-power consumption at the maximum sampling
rate of 150ksps.
Automatic shutdown (0.2µA) between conversions
results in reduced power consumption (at slower
throughput rates).
Data access are made via an external clock through the
SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire high-speed
serial interface.

AS1528/AS1529
Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
8 Detailed Description
The AS1528/AS1529 employ a successive approximation conversion (SAR) technique and integrated track/hold circuitry to convert analog signals into 10-bit digital output. The serial interface provides easy interfacing to microprocessors. Figure 17 shows the simplified internal structure for the AS1529 (2-channels, single ended) and the AS1528
(1-channel, true differential).
True Differential Analog Input Track/Hold
The equivalent circuit of Figure 17 shows the device input architecture which is composed of track/hold circuitry, input
multiplexer, comparator, and switched-capacitor DAC. The track/hold circuitry enters its tracking mode on the rising
edge of CNVST. The positive input capacitor is connected to AIN1 or AIN2 (AS1529) or AIN+ (AS1528). The negative
input capacitor is connected to GND (AS1529) or AIN- (AS1528).

Track
The track/hold circuitry enters its hold mode on the falling edge of CNVST and the difference between the sampled
positive and negative input voltages is converted. The time required for the track/hold to acquire an input signal is
determined by how quickly its input capacitance is charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high, the acquisition time lengthens, and CNVST must be held high for a longer period of time. The acquisition time (tACQ) is the maximum time needed for the signal to be acquired, plus the power-up time. tACQ is calculated by:
tACQ = 9 x (RS + RIN) x 20pF + tPWR
(EQ 1)
Where:
RS is the source impedance of the input signal;
RIN = 1.5kΩ;
tPWR of 1µs is the power-up time of the device.
Note:
tACQ is never less than 1.4µs and any source impedance below 300. does not significantly affect the AS1528/
AS1529 AC performance. A high-impedance source can be accommodated either by lengthening tACQ or by
placing a 1µF capacitor between the positive and negative analog inputs.
Selecting AIN1 or AIN2 (AS1529)
Select one of the AS1529 two positive input channels using the CNVST pin (see page 3). If AIN1 is selected (see Figure 18), drive CNVST high to power up the AS1529 and place the track/hold circuitry in track mode with AIN1 connected to the positive input capacitor. Hold CNVST high for tACQ to fully acquire the signal. Drive CNVST low to place
the track/hold circuitry in hold mode. The AS1529 then performs a conversion and shutdown automatically. The MSB is
available at DOUT after 3.7µs. Data can then be clocked out using SCLK. Clock out all 12 bits of data before driving
CNVST high for the next conversion. If all 12 bits of data are not clocked out before CNVST is driven high, AIN2 is
selected for the next conversion.

If AIN2 is selected (see Figure 19), drive CNVST high for at least 30ns. Next, drive CNVST low for at least 30ns, and
then high again. This powers up the AS1529 and places the track/hold circuitry in track mode with AIN2 connected to
the positive input capacitor. Next hold CNVST high for tACQ to fully acquire the signal. Drive CNVST low to place the
track/hold circuitry in hold mode. The AS1529 then performs a conversion and shuts down automatically. The MSB is
available at DOUT after 3.7µs. Data can then be clocked out using SCLK.
Note: If all 12 bits of data are not clocked out before CNVST is driven high, AIN2 is selected for the next conversion.
Selecting Unipolar or Bipolar Conversions (AS1528)
True-differential conversion (with the AS1528 unipolar and bipolar modes) is selected using pin CNVST (see page 3).
AIN+ and AIN- are sampled at the falling edge of CNVST. In unipolar mode, AIN+ can exceed AIN- by up to VREF. The
output format is straight binary. In bipolar mode, either input can exceed the other by up to VREF/2. The output format is
two’s complement. In both modes, the input common mode range can go from GND to VDD.

Note: In unipolar and bipolar modes, AIN+ and AIN- must not exceed VDD by more than 50mV or be lower than GND
by more than 50mV.
If unipolar mode is selected (see Figure 18), drive CNVST high to power up the AS1528 and place the track/hold circuitry in track mode with AIN+ and AIN- connected to the input capacitors. Hold CNVST high for tACQ to fully acquire
the signal. Drive CNVST low to place the track/hold circuitry in hold mode. The AS1528 then performs a conversion
and shutdown automatically. The MSB is available at DOUT after 3.7µs. Data can then be clocked out using SCLK.
Clock out all 12 bits of data before driving CNVST high for the next conversion. If all 12 bits of data are not clocked out
before CNVST is driven high, bipolar mode is selected for the next conversion.
If bipolar mode is selected (see Figure 19), drive CNVST high for at least 30ns. Next, drive CNVST low for at least
30ns and then high again. This places the track/hold circuitry in track mode with AIN+ and AIN- connected to the input
capacitors.
Next hold CNVST high for tACQ to fully acquire the signal. Drive CNVST low to place the track/hold circuitry in hold
mode. The AS1528 then performs a conversion and shuts down automatically. The MSB is available at DOUT after
3.7µs. Data can then be clocked out using SCLK.
Note: If all 12 bits of data are not clocked out before CNVST is driven high, bipolar mode is selected for the next conversion.

The AS1528/AS1529 input tracking circuitry has a 20MHz small signal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize highspeed transient events and measure periodic signals with bandwidths exceeding the AS1528/AS1529 sampling rate
by using undersampling techniques.
Note: To avoid high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Analog Input Protection
Internal protection diodes that clamp the analog input to VDD and GND allow the analog input pins to swing from GND
- 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V without damage. Both inputs must not exceed VDD by more than 50mV or be lower than GND by
more than 50mV for accurate conversions.
Note: If an off-channel analog input voltage exceeds the supply voltages, the input current should be limited to 2mA.
Internal Clock
The AS1528/AS1529 operate from an internal clock, which is accurate within 5% of the 4MHz clock rate. This results in
a worst-case conversion time of 3.7µs. The internal clock releases the system microprocessor from running the SAR
conversion clock and allows the conversion results to be read back at the processor’s convenience, at any clock rate
from 0 to 8MHz.
Output Data Format
Figure 18 on page 11 and Figure 19 on page 11 illustrate the conversion timing for the AS1528/AS1529. The 10-bit
conversion result is output in MSB-first format. Data on DOUT transitions on the falling edge of SCLK. All 10 bits must
be clocked out before CNVST transitions again.
For the AS1528, data is straight binary for unipolar mode and two’s complement for bipolar mode. For the AS1529,
data is always straight binary.
Transfer Function
Figure 20 on page 12 shows the unipolar transfer function for the AS1528/AS1529. Figure 21 on page 13 shows the
bipolar transfer function for the AS1528. Code transitions occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values.

9 Application Information
Automatic Shutdown Mode
With CNVST low, the AS1528/AS1529 default to automatic shutdown (< 0.2µA) mode after power-up and between
conversions. After detecting a rising edge of CNVST, the AS1528/AS1529 powers up, sets DOUT low, and enters
track mode.
After detecting a falling edge of CNVST, the device enters hold mode and begins the conversion. A maximum of 3.7µs
later, the device completes conversion, enters shutdown, and MSB is available at DOUT.
External Reference
An external reference is required for the AS1528/AS1529. Use a 4.7µF bypass capacitor for best performance. The
reference input structure allows a voltage range of +1V to VDD + 50mV.
Performing a Conversion
1. Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to hold CNVST low between conversions.
2. Drive CNVST high to acquire AIN1(AS1529) or unipolar mode (AS1528). To acquire AIN2 (AS1529) or bipolar
mode (AS1528), drive CNVST low and high again.
3. Hold CNVST high for 1.4µs.
4. Drive CNVST low and wait approximately 3.7µs for conversion to complete. After 3.7µs, the MSB is available
at DOUT.
5. Activate SCLK for a minimum of 12 rising clock edges. DOUT transitions on SCLK’s falling edge and is available in MSB-first format. Observe the SCLK to DOUT valid timing characteristic. Clock data into the µP on
SCLK’s rising edge.
Standard Interface Connections
The AS1528/AS1529 serial interface is fully compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE. If a serial interface is available, establish the processor’s serial interface as a master so that the CPU generates the serial clock for the AS1528/
AS1529 and select a clock frequency up to 8MHz.
SPI and Microwire Interface
When using an SPI (Figure 22) or Microwire interface (Figure 23), set CPOL = CPHA = 0. Two 8-bit readings are necessary to obtain the entire 10-bit result from the AS1528/AS1529. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s falling
edge and is clocked into the processor on SCLK’s rising edge. The first 8-bit data stream contains the first 8-bits of
DOUT starting with the MSB. The second 8-bit data stream contains the remaining four result bits. DOUT then goes
high impedance.

QSPI Interface
Using the high-speed QSPI interface (Figure 25) with CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0, the AS1528/AS1529 support a maximum fSCLK of 8MHz. One 12- to 16-bit reads are necessary to obtain the entire 10-bit result from the AS1528/AS1529.
DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s falling edge and is clocked into the processor on SCLK’s rising edge. The
first 10 bits are the data. DOUT then goes high impedance (see Figure 23).

PIC16 and SSP Module and PIC17 Interface
The AS1528/AS1529 are compatible with a PIC16/PIC17 controllers, using the synchronous serial port (SSP) module
To establish SPI communication, connect the PIC16/PIC17 controllers as shown in Figure 27 and configure the PIC16/
PIC17 as system master. This is done by initializing its synchronous serial port control register (SSPCON) and synchronous serial port status register (SSPSTAT) to the bit patterns shown in Table 6 on page 17 and Table 7 on
page 17.

In SPI mode, the PIC16/PIC17 processor allow 8 bits of data to be synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously. Two consecutive 8-bit readings (see Figure 28) are necessary to obtain the entire 10-bit result from the
AS1528/AS1529. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s falling edge and is clocked into the processor on SCLK’s
rising edge.
The first 8-bit data stream contains the first 8 data bits starting with the MSB. The second data stream contains the
remaining bits, D3 through D0.

Layout and Grounding Considerations
The AS1528/AS1529 require proper layout and design procedures for optimum performance.
!
Use printed circuit boards; wirewrap boards should not be used.
!
Separate analog and digital traces from each other. Analog and digital traces should not run parallel to each other
(especially clock traces).
!
Digital traces should not run beneath the AS1528/AS1529.
!
Use a single-point analog ground at GND, separate from the digital ground (see Figure 29). Connect all other analog grounds and DGND to this star ground point for further noise reduction. No other digital system ground should
be connected to this single-point analog ground. The ground return to the power supply for this ground should be
low impedance and as short as possible for noise-free operation.
!
High-frequency noise in the VDD power supply may affect the AS1528/AS1529 high-speed comparator. Bypass
this supply to the single-point analog ground with 0.1µF and 4.7µF bypass capacitors (see Figure 29). The bypass
capacitors should be placed as close to the device as possible for optimum power supply noise-rejection. If the
power supply is very noisy, a 10Ω resistor can be connected as a low-pass filter to attenuate supply noise
!
Power components such as the inductor, converter IC, filter capacitors, and output diode should be placed as close
together as possible, and their traces should be kept short, direct, and wide.
!
Keep the voltage feedback network very close to the device, within 5mm (0.2”) of the pin.
!
Keep noisy traces, such as those from the pin LX, away from the voltage feedback network and guarded from
them using grounded copper traces.
