1 General Description
2 Key Features
The AS1530/AS1531 are low-power, 4/8-channel, 400/
300ksps, 12-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converters specifically designed to operate with single-supply devices.
Superior AC characteristics, very low power consumption, and highly-reliable packaging make these ultrasmall devices perfect for battery-powered remote-sensor and data-acquisition devices.
The successive-approximation register (SAR), highspeed sampling, high-bandwidth track/hold circuitry, and
multi-mode operation combine to make these devices
highly-flexible and configurable.
Both devices require low supply current (2.8mA @
400ksps, AS1530; 2.2mA @ 300ksps, AS1531) and feature a reduced-power mode and a power-down mode to
lower power consumption at slower throughput rates.
The devices operate from a single supply (+4.5 to +5.5V,
AS1530; +2.7 to +3.6V, AS1531). Both devices contain
an internal 2.5V reference, an integrated reference
buffer, and feature support for an external reference (1V
to VDD).
Data accesses are made via the high-speed, 4-wire,
SPI, QSPI-, and Microwire-compatible serial interface.
The devices are available in a 20-pin TSSOP package.
For lower-speed versions of these devices, contact austriamicrosystems, AG regarding the AS1526/AS1527
A/D converters.

1. Tested at VDD1 = VDD2 = VDD3 = +5V, COM = GND, bit RANGE (page 15) = 1, single-ended input mode.
2. Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the gain error
and offset error have been nulled.
3. Offset nulled.
4. Ground on channel; sinewave applied to all off channels.
5. Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty
cycle.
6. The absolute voltage range for the analog inputs (CH0:CH7, and COM) is from GND to VDD1.
7. External load should not change during conversion for specified accuracy. Guaranteed specification of 4mV/mA
is a result of production test limitations.
8. AS1530/AS1531 performance is limited by the device noise floor, typically 300µVp-p.

The input tracking circuitry has a 6MHz small-signal bandwidth, thus it is possible to under-sample (digitize high-speed
transient events) and measure periodic signals modulated at frequencies exceeding the AS1530/AS1531 sampling
rate.
Note: To avoid high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency band of interest, antialias filtering is recommended
Input Protection
Internal protection diodes (which clamp the analog input to VDD1 and GND) allow the channel inputs to swing from
(GND to 0.3V) to (VDD1 + 0.3V) without damaging the devices. However, for accurate conversions near full scale, the
inputs must not exceed VDD1 by more than 50mV or be lower than GND by 50mV.
Note: If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the supply voltage, do not allow the input current to exceed 2mA.
Track/Hold
The track/hold stage enters tracking mode on the rising edge of SCLK which clocks in bit MODE of the 8-bit control
byte (see Figure 21 on page 17). The track/hold stage enters hold mode on the falling clock edge after bit PD0 of the 8bit control byte has been shifted in.
The time required for the track/hold circuit to acquire an input signal is a function of how quickly the input capacitance
is charged. If the input signal source impedance is high, the acquisition time lengthens. The acquisition time (tACQ) is
the maximum time the device takes to acquire the signal and is also the minimum time needed for the signal to be
acquired.
tACQ is never less than 390ns (AS1530) or 520ns (AS1531), and is calculated by:
tACQ = 9(RS + RIN)18pF (EQ 1)
(EQ 1)
Where::
RIN = 800Ω
RS = the source impedance of the input signal.
Note: Source impedances below 2kΩ do not significantly affect the AC performance of the devices.

Control Register
Control Register
The control register on the AS1530/AS1531 is a 8-bit, write-only register. Data is written to this register using the CSN,
DIN and SCLK pins. The control register format is shown in Table 7 and the function of the bits are defined in Table 8.
The AS1530/AS1531 operating modes are selected by sending an 8-bit data word to the internal shift register via pin
DIN. After pin CSN is pulled low, the first logic 1 on pin DIN is interpreted as a start bit. A start bit is defined as one of
the following:
The first logic 1 bit clocked into pin DIN (with CSN low) any time the AS1530/AS1531 is idle, e.g., after VDD1 and
VDD2 are applied.
! The first logic 1 bit clocked into pin DIN after bit 6 of a conversion in progress is clocked out of pin DOUT.
Figure 22 on page 17 shows the serial-interface timing necessary to perform a conversion every 16 SCLK cycles. If
CSN is tied low and SCLK is continuous, guarantee a start bit by first clocking in sixteen 0s. The fastest speed at which
the devices can operate is 16 clocks per conversion (with CSN held low between conversions).

Description
The first logic 1 bit after CSN goes low signifies the start of a control byte.
These three bits select which of the eight channels and pin COM are used for
the conversion (see Table 10 and Table 11).
This bit selects the analog input range of the AS1530/AS1531.
0 = The analog input range extends from -VREF/2 to +VREF/2.
1= The analog input range extends from 0V to VREF.
This bit in conjunction with bit RANGE changes the analog input configuration.
0 = The voltage difference between two selectable channels is converted. This
setting selects two's complement coding (see Table 10 on page 16 and
Table 11 on page 16).
1 = One of the eight input channels is referenced to COM. This setting also
selects binary coding.

Starting a Conversion
Starting a Conversion
A conversion is started by clocking a control byte into pin DIN.
With CSN low, each rising edge on SCLK clocks a bit from DIN into the internal shift register, starting with the MSB. A
conversion will only start when a logic 1 is written to the START bit of the 8-bit control register.

SSTRB
The external serial clock shifts data in and out of the devices and drives the analog-to-digital conversion steps. Two
clock periods after the last bit of the control byte is written the output pin SSTRB pulses high for one clock period.
The serial data is shifted out at DOUT on each of the next 12 SCLK rising edges (see Figure 21 on page 17).
Pins SSTRB and DOUT go into a high-impedance state when CSN goes high. The conversion must complete in 120µs
or less, or consequently, droop on the sample-and-hold capacitors may degrade conversion results. Figure 23 shows
detailed serial-interface timing waveforms.
Transfer Functions
Output coding and transfer function depend on the control register bits MODE (page 15) and RANGE (page 15).

Power Modes
Power consumption can be reduced by placing the AS1530/AS1531 in reduced power mode or in full power-down
mode between conversions.
The power mode is selected using bits PD1 and PD0 of the 8-bit control byte.
Table 12 lists the three operating modes with the corresponding supply current and active device circuits. For data
rates achievable in full power-down mode (see Full Power-Down Mode on page 20).

Circuit operation between conversions; during conversion all circuits are fully powered up.
The selected power-down mode (as shown in Table 12) is initiated after an analog-to-digital conversion is completed.
In all power modes the serial interface remains active, waiting for a new control byte to start conversion (see Figure 30
on page 21). Once the conversion is completed, the AS1530/AS1531 goes into the selected power mode until a new
control byte is shifted in. In reduced power mode the AS1530/AS1531 will be able to start conversion immediately
when running at decreased clock rates. In full power down mode wait until the internal reference has stabilized (dependant on the values of the capacitance of REF and REFADJ).
During initialization the AS1530/AS1531 immediately go into normal operation mode and are ready to convert after 4µs
when using an external reference. When using the internal reference, wait until the internal reference has stabilized
(dependant on the values of the capacitance of REF and REFADJ).

Power Modes
Reduced Power Mode
Reduced power mode is activated using bits PD1 and PD0 (see Table 12). When reduced power mode is asserted, the
AS1530/AS1531 completes any conversion in progress and enters reduced power mode.
The next start of conversion puts the AS1530/AS1531 into normal operation mode. The 8-bit control byte shifted into
the control register determines the next power mode. For example, if the 8-bit control byte contains PD1 = 0 and PD0
= 1, reduced power down mode starts immediately after the conversion (see Figure 28).
The reduced-power mode achieves the lowest power consumption at speeds close to the maximum sample rate.
Figure 29 shows the AS1531 power consumption in reduced-power mode and normal operating mode (see Table 12
on page 19) with the internal reference and maximum clock speed.

Full power-down is activated using bits PD1 and PD0 (see Table 12). Full power-down mode offers the lowest power
consumption at up to 1000 conversions per-channel per-second. When full power-down is asserted, the AS1530/
AS1531 completes any conversion in progress and powers down into specified low-quiescent current state.
The start of the next conversion puts the AS1530/AS1531 into normal operation mode. The 8-bit control byte shifted
into the control register determines the next power mode. For example, if the 8-bit control byte contains PD1 = 0 and
PD0 = 0, full power-down mode starts immediately after the conversion (see Figure 30 on page 21)

Data Sheet
Reference
A 0.01µF bypass capacitor plus the internal 17kΩ reference resistor at REFADJ form an R/C filter with a 200µs time
constant. To achieve full 12-bit accuracy, 10 time constants (2ms) are required after power-up if the bypass capacitor is
fully discharged between conversions. Waiting this 2ms in reduced-power mode instead of normal operation mode can
further reduce power consumption. This is achieved by using the sequence shown in Figure 30 on page 21.
Figure 31 on page 21 shows the AS1531 power consumption for conversions using full power-down mode (PD1 = PD0
= 0 (see Table 12), an external reference, and the maximum clock speed. One dummy conversion to power-up the
device is required, but no wait-time is necessary to start the second conversion, thereby achieving lower power consumption up to the full sampling rate.

Reference
The AS1530/AS1531 can operate with the internal or an external reference.
Internal Reference
The internal reference is selected by placing a capacitor between REFADJ and GND. The internally trimmed 1.22V
bandgap voltage available at REFADJ is buffered with a gain of 2.045V/V to pin REF, where 2.5V are available. A
decoupling capacitor is needed at pin REF.

Reference
Additionally the bandgap voltage can be adjusted about ±100mV by forcing a voltage to the REFADJ pin. The REFADJ
input impedance is typically 17kΩ. Figure 32 shows a possible arrangement.

External Reference
An external reference can be connected directly at pin REF. To use the external reference, the internal buffer must be
disabled by connecting pin REFADJ to pin VDD. The input resistance is typically 15kΩ.
During conversion, an external reference at pin REF must deliver up to 350µA DC load current and have 10Ω or less
output impedance. If the reference has a higher output impedance or is noisy, bypass it with a 4.7µF capacitor placed
as close to pin REF as possible.
Note: Using the REFADJ input makes buffering the external reference unnecessary.

Initialization
9 Application Information
Initialization
When power is first applied to the AS1530/AS1531 internal power-on reset circuitry sets the devices for normal operation. At this point, the devices can perform data conversions with CSN held low.
Note: The device requires 10µs after the power supplies stabilize; no conversions should be initiated during this time.
The digital output at pin DOUT will be all 0s until an analog-to-digital conversion is initiated.
Serial Interface
The AS1530/AS1531 fully support SPI, QSPI, and Microwire interfaces. For SPI, select the correct clock polarity and
sampling edge in the SPI control registers (set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0).
Note: Microwire, SPI, and QSPI all transmit a byte and receive a byte at the same time.
Using the circuit shown in Figure 33 on page 24, the simplest software interface requires only three 8-bit transfers to
perform a conversion (one 8-bit transfer to configure the AS1530/AS1531, and two more 8-bit transfers to clock out the
12-bit conversion result).
Serial Interface Configuration
The following steps describe how to configure the serial interface:
1. Confirm that the CPU serial interface is in master mode (so the CPU generates the serial clock).
2. Choose a clock frequency from 500kHz to 6.4MHz (AS1530) or 4.8MHz (AS1531).
3. Set up the control byte and call it TB1. TB1 should be in the format 1XXXXXXX binary, where the Xs indicate the
selected channel, conversion mode, and power mode.
4. Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to pull CSN low.
5. Transmit TB1 and simultaneously receive a byte (RB1). Ignore this byte.
6. Transmit a byte of all zeros ($00h) and simultaneously receive byte RB2.
7. Transmit a byte of all zeros ($00h) and simultaneously receive byte RB3.
8. Pull CSN high.
Bytes RB2 and RB3 (see Figure 21) contain the results of the conversion, padded with three leading zeros and one
trailing zero. The total conversion time is a function of the serial-clock frequency and the amount of idle time between
8-bit transfers. To avoid excessive track/hold droop, make sure the total conversion time does not exceed 120µs.

QSPI Interface
The AS1530/AS1531 can interface with QSPI using the circuit in Figure 34 (fSCLK = 4.0MHz, CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0).
This QSPI circuit can be programmed to do a conversion on each of the eight channels. The result is stored in memory
without affecting CPU performance, since QSPI incorporates a micro-sequencer.

Connecting DIN to VDD2 shifts in control bytes of $FFh, which trigger single-ended conversions (bit RANGE (page 15)
= 1) on CH7 without powering down between conversions. The SSTRB output pulses high for one clock period before
the MSB of the 12-bit conversion result is shifted out of DOUT. Varying the analog input to CH7 will alter the sequence
of bits from DOUT. A total of 16 clock cycles is required per conversion.
Note: All SSTRB and DOUT output transitions occur 25ns (typ) after the rising edge of SCLK.

Layout Considerations
Layout Considerations
The AS1530/AS1531 require proper layout and design procedures for optimum performance.
!
Use printed circuit boards; wirewrap boards should not be used.
!
Analog and digital traces should be separate and should not run parallel to each other (especially clock traces).
!
Digital traces should not run beneath the AS1530/AS1531.
!
Use a single-point analog ground at GND, separate from the digital ground (see Figure 36). 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 AS1530/AS1531 high-speed comparator. Bypass
this supply to the single-point analog ground with 0.1µF and 4.7µF bypass capacitors. Bypass capacitors should
be 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 (see Figure 36).
