DESCRIPTION
The ADS8506 is a complete low power, single 5-V
supply, 12-bit sampling analog-to-digital (A/D)
converter.
It
contains
a
complete
12-bit
capacitor-based, successive approximation register
(SAR) A/D converter with sample and hold, clock,
reference, and data interface. The converter can be
configured for a variety of input ranges including ±10
V, 4 V, and 5 V. For most input ranges, the input
voltage can swing to 25 V or –25 V without damage
to the converter.
A SPI compatible serial interface allows data to be
synchronized to an internal or external clock. A full
parallel interface with BYTE select is also provided to
allow the maximum system design flexibility. The
ADS8506 is specified at 40 kHz sampling rate over
the industrial -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

Typical rms noise at worst case transitions.
As measured with fixed resistors, see Figure 43. Adjustable to zero with external potentiometer.
Full scale error is the worst case of -Full Scale or +Full Scale untrimmed deviation from ideal first and last code transitions, divided by
the transition voltage (not divided by the full-scale range) and includes the effect of offset error.
This is the time delay after the ADS8506 is brought out of Power-Down mode until all internal settling occurs and the analog input is
acquired to rated accuracy. A Convert command after this delay will yield accurate results.
All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale input.
Usable bandwidth defined as full-scale input frequency at which Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) degrades to 60 dB.
Recovers to specified performance after 2 x FS input overvoltage.

SB/BTC
I
Selects straight binary or binary 2's complement for output data format. if high, data is output in a
straight binary format. If low, data is output in a binary 2's complement format.
8
EXT/INT
I
Selects external/Internal data clock for transmitting data. If high, data is output synchronized to
the clock input on DATACLK. If low, a convert command initiates the transmission of the data
from the previous conversion, along with 12-clock pulses output on DATACLK.

17
D0
O
Ground if BYTE is high. Data bit 4 if BYTE is low. Hi-Z when CS is high and/or R/C is low.
18
DATACLK
I/O
Either an input or an output depending on the EXT/INT level. Output data is synchronized to this
clock. If EXT/INT is low, DATACLK transmits 12 pulses after each conversion, and then remains
low between conversions.
19
SDATA
O
Serial data output. Data is synchronized to DATACLK, with the format determined by the level of
SB/BTC. In the external clock mode, after 12 bits of data, the ADC outputs the level input on
TAG as long as CS is low and R/C is high. If EXT/INT is low, data is valid on both the rising and
falling edges of DATACLK, and between conversions SDATA stays at the level of the TAG input
when the conversion was started.
20
TAG
I
Tag input for use in the external clock mode. If EXT is high, digital data input from TAG is output
on DATA with a delay that is dependent on the external clock mode.
21
BYTE
I
Selects 8 most significant bits (low) or 8 least significant bits (high) on parallel output pins.
22
R/C
I
Read/convert input. With CS low, a falling edge on R/C puts the internal sample-and-hold into the
hold state and starts a conversion. When EXT/INT is low, this also initiates the transmission of
the data results from the previous conversion.
23
CS
I
Internally ORed with R/C. If R/C is low, a falling edge on CS initiates a new conversion. If
EXT/INT is low, this same falling edge will start the transmission of serial data results from the
previous conversion.
24
BUSY
O
At the start of a conversion, BUSY goes low and stays low until the conversion is completed and
the digital outputs have been updated.
25
PWRD
I
Power down input. If high, conversions are inhibited and power consumption is significantly
reduced. Results from the previous conversion are maintained in the output shift register.
26
REFD
I
REFD High shuts down the internal reference. External reference will be required for
conversions.
27
VANA
Analog Supply. Nominally +5 V. Decouple with 0.1-μF ceramic and 10-μF tantalum capacitors.

most significant bits (MSBs) will be valid when BUSY rises; if BYTE is HIGH, the four least significant bits (LSBs)
will be valid when BUSY rises. Data will be output in binary 2's complement (BTC) format. BUSY going HIGH
can be used to latch the data. After the first byte has been read, BYTE can be toggled allowing the remaining
byte to be read. All convert commands will be ignored while BUSY is LOW.
The ADS8506 begins tracking the input signal at the end of the conversion. Allowing 25 μs between convert
commands assures accurate acquisition of a new signal.
The offset and gain are adjusted internally to allow external trimming with a single supply. The external resistors
compensate for this adjustment and can be left out if the offset and gain will be corrected in software (refer to the
Calibration section).

STARTING A CONVERSION
The combination of CS (pin 23) and R/C (pin 22) low for a minimum of 40 ns puts the sample-and-hold of the
ADS8506 in the hold state and starts conversion N. BUSY (pin 24) goes low and stays low until conversion N is
completed and the internal output register has been updated. All new convert commands during BUSY low are
ignored. CS and/or R/C must go high before BUSY goes high, or a new conversion is initiated without sufficient
time to acquire a new signal.
The ADS8506 begins tracking the input signal at the end of the conversion. Allowing 25 μs between convert
commands assures accurate acquisition of a new signal. Refer to Table 2 and Table 3 for a summary of CS,
R/C, and BUSY states, and Figure 33, Figure 34, Figure 35, Figure 36, Figure 37, Figure 38, and Figure 39 for

input is low at least tsu2 ≥ 10 ns prior to the initiating input. If EXT/INT (pin 8) is low when initiating conversion N,
serial data from conversion N–1 is output on SDATA (pin 19) following the start of conversion N. See Internal

To reduce the number of control pins, CS can be tied low using R/C to control the read and convert modes. This
has no effect when using the internal data clock in the serial output mode. The parallel output and the serial
output (only when using an external data clock), however, is affected whenever R/C goes high and the external
clock is active. Refer to the Reading Data section. In the internal clock mode data is clocked out every convert
cycle regardless of the states of CS and R/C. The conversion result is available as soon as BUSY returns to high
therefore, data always represents the conversion previously completed even when it is read during a conversion.
READING DATA
The ADS8506 outputs serial or parallel data in straight binary (SB) or binary 2's complement data output format.
If SB/BTC (pin 7) is high, the output is in SB format, and if low, the output is in BTC format. Refer to Table 4 for
ideal output codes. The first conversion immediately following a power-up does not produce a valid conversion
result.
The parallel output can be read without affecting the internal output registers; however, reading the data through
the serial port shifts the internal output registers one bit per data clock pulse. As a result, data can be read on the
parallel port prior to reading the same data on the serial port, but data cannot be read through the serial port
prior to reading the same data on the parallel port.

PARALLEL OUTPUT
To use the parallel output, tie EXT/INT (pin 8) high and DATACLK (pin 18) low. SDATA (pin 19) should be left
unconnected. The parallel output is active when R/C (pin 22) is high and CS (pin 23) is low. Any other
combination of CS and R/C 3-states the parallel output. Valid conversion data can be read in two 8-bit bytes on
D7-D0 (pins 9-13 and 15-17). When BYTE (pin 21) is low, the 8 most significant bits will be valid with the MSB
on D7. When BYTE is high, the 4 least significant bits are valid with the LSB on D4. BYTE can be toggled to
read both bytes within one conversion cycle.

SERIAL OUTPUT
Data can be clocked out with the internal data clock or an external data clock. When using serial output, be
careful with the parallel outputs, D7-D0 (pins 9-13 and 15-17), as these pins come out of Hi-Z state whenever CS
(pin 23) is low and R/C (pin 22) is high. The serial output cannot be 3-stated and is always active. Refer to the
Applications Information section for specific serial interfaces. If external clock is used, the TAG input can be used
to daisy-chain multiple ADS8506 data pins together.
INTERNAL DATA CLOCK (During a Conversion)
To use the internal data clock, tie EXT/INT (pin 8) low. The combination of R/C (pin 22) and CS (pin 23) low
initiates conversion N and activates the internal data clock (typically 900-kHz clock rate). The ADS8506 outputs
12 bits of valid data, MSB first, from conversion N–1 on SDATA (pin 19), synchronized to 12 clock pulses output
on DATACLK (pin 18). The data is valid on both the rising and falling edges of the internal data clock. The rising
edge of BUSY (pin 24) can be used to latch the data. After the 12th clock pulse, DATACLK remains low until the
next conversion is initiated, while SDATA returns to the state of the TAG pin input sensed at the start of
transmission. Refer to Table 6 and Figure 36.
EXTERNAL DATA CLOCK
To use an external data clock, tie EXT/INT (pin 8) high. The external data clock is not and cannot be
synchronized with the internal conversion clock; care must be taken to avoid corrupting the data. To enable the
output mode of the ADS8506, CS (pin 23) must be low and R/C (pin 22) must be high. DATACLK must be high
for 20% to 70% of the total data clock period; the clock rate can be between DC and 10 MHz. Serial data from
conversion N can be output on SDATA (pin 19) after conversion N is completed or during conversion N+1.
An obvious way to simplify control of the converter is to tie CS low and use R/C to initiate conversions.
While this is perfectly acceptable, there is a possible problem when using an external data clock. At an
indeterminate point from 12 μs after the start of conversion N until BUSY rises, the internal logic shifts the results
of conversion N into the output register. If CS is low, R/C high, and the external clock is high at this point, data is
lost. So, with CS low, either R/C and/or DATACLK must be low during this period to avoid losing valid data.

EXTERNAL DATA CLOCK (After a Conversion)
After conversion N is completed and the output registers have been updated, BUSY (pin 24) goes high. With CS
low and R/C high, valid data from conversion N is output on SDATA (pin 19) synchronized to the external data
clock input on DATACLK (pin 18). The MSB is valid on the first falling edge and the second rising edge of the
external data clock. The LSB is valid on the 12th falling edge and 13th rising edge of the data clock. TAG (pin
20) inputs a bit of data for every external clock pulse. The first bit input on TAG is valid on SDATA on the 13th
falling edge and the 14th rising edge of DATACLK; the second input bit is valid on the 14th falling edge and the
15th rising edge, etc. With a continuous data clock, TAG data is output on SDATA until the internal output
registers are updated with the results from the next conversion. Refer to Table 6 and Figure 38.
EXTERNAL DATA CLOCK (During a Conversion)
After conversion N has been initiated, valid data from conversion N–1 can be read and is valid up to 12 μs after
the start of conversion N. Do not attempt to clock out data from 12 μs after the start of conversion N until BUSY
(pin 24) rises; this results in data loss. NOTE: For the best possible performance when using an external data
clock, data should not be clocked out during a conversion. The switching noise of the asynchronous data clock
can cause digital feedthrough degrading the converter's performance. Refer to Table 6 and Figure 39.

TAG FEATURE
The TAG feature allows the data from multiple ADS8506 converters to be read on a single serial line. The
converters are cascaded together using the DATA pins as outputs and the TAG pins as inputs as illustrated in
Figure 40. The DATA pin of the last converter drives the processor's serial data input. Data is then shifted
through each converter, synchronous to the externally supplied data clock, onto the serial data line. The internal
clock cannot be used for this configuration.

SLAS484A – SEPTEMBER 2007 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007
The preferred timing uses the discontinuous, external, data clock during the sampling period. Data must be read
during the sampling period because there is not sufficient time to read data from multiple converters during a
conversion period without violating the td11 constraint (see the EXTERNAL DATACLOCK section). The sampling
period must be sufficiently long to allow all data words to be read before starting a new conversion.
Note, in Figure 40, that a NULL bit separates the data word from each converter. The state of the DATA pin at
the end of a READ cycle reflects the state of the TAG pin at the start of the cycle. This is true in all READ
modes, including the internal clock mode. For example, when a single converter is used in the internal clock
mode the state of the TAG pin determines the state of the DATA pin after all 12 bits have shifted out. When
multiple converters are cascaded together this state forms the NULL bit that separates the words. Thus, with the
TAG pin of the first converter grounded as shown in Figure 40 the NULL bit becomes a zero between each data
word.

INPUT RANGES
The ADS8506 offers three input ranges: standard ±10-V and 0-V to 5-V ranges, and a 0-V to 4-V range for
complete, single-supply systems. See Figure 42 and Figure 43 for the necessary circuit connections for
implementing each input range and optional offset and gain adjust circuitry. Offset and full-scale error
specifications are tested with the fixed resistors, see Figure 43 (full-scale error includes offset and gain errors
measured at both +FS and -FS). Adjustments for offset and gain are described in the Calibration section of this
data sheet.
The offset and gain are adjusted internally to allow external trimming with a single supply. The external resistors
compensate for this adjustment and can be left out if the offset and gain are corrected in software (refer to the
Calibration section).
The input impedance, summarized in Table 1, results from the combination of the internal resistor network (see
the front page of this product data sheet) and the external resistors used for each input range (see Figure 44).
The input resistor divider network provides inherent over-voltage protection to at least ±5.5 V for R2IN and ±12 V
for R1IN.
Analog inputs above or below the expected range yields either positive full-scale or negative full-scale digital
outputs, respectively. Wrapping or folding over for analog inputs outside the nominal range does not occur.

Figure 43 shows circuit connections. Note that the actual voltage dropped across the external resistors is at least
two orders of magnitude lower than the voltage dropped across the internal resistor divider network. This should
be considered when choosing the accuracy and drift specifications of the external resistors. In most applications,
1% metal-film resistors are sufficient.
The external resistors, see Figure 43, may not be necessary in some applications. These resistors provide
compensation for an internal adjustment of the offset and gain which allows calibration with a single supply. Not
using the external resistors results in offset and gain errors in addition to those listed in the electrical
characteristics section. Offset refers to the equivalent voltage of the digital output when converting with the input
grounded. A positive gain error occurs when the equivalent output voltage of the digital output is larger than the
analog input. Refer to Table 8 for nominal ranges of gain and offset errors with and without the external resistors.
Refer to Figure 44 for typical shifts in the transfer functions which occur when the external resistors are removed.

To further analyze the effects of removing any combination of the external resistors, consider Figure 45. The
combination of the external and the internal resistors form a voltage divider which reduces the input signal to a
0.3125-V to 2.8125-V input range at the capacitor digital-to-analog converter (CDAC). The internal resistors are
laser trimmed to high relative accuracy to meet full-scale specifications. The actual input impedance of the
internal resistor network looking into pin 1 or pin 3 however, is only accurate to ±20% due to process variations.
This should be taken into account when determining the effects of removing the external resistors.

REFERENCE
The ADS8506 can operate with its internal 2.5-V reference or an external reference. By applying an external
reference to pin 5, the internal reference can be bypassed. The reference voltage at REF is buffered internally
with the output on CAP (pin 4).
The internal reference has an 8 ppm/°C drift (typical) and accounts for approximately 20% of the full-scale error
(FSE = ±0.5% for low grade, ±0.25% for high grade).
The ADS8506 also has an internal buffer for the reference voltage. Figure 46 shows characteristic impedances at
the input and output of the buffer with all combinations of powerdown and reference down.

Figure 46. Characteristic Impedances of the Internal Buffer
REF
REF (pin 5) is an input for an external reference or the output for the internal 2.5-V reference. A 2.2-μF tantalum
capacitor should be connected as close as possible to the REF pin from ground. This capacitor and the output
resistance of REF create a low-pass filter to bandlimit noise on the reference. Using a smaller value capacitor will
introduce more noise to the reference, degrading the SNR and SINAD. The REF pin should not be used to drive
external AC or DC loads, as shown in Figure 46.
The range for the external reference is 2.3 V to 2.7 V and determines the actual LSB size. Increasing the
reference voltage increases the full-scale range and the LSB size of the converter which can improve the SNR.
CAP
CAP (pin 4) is the output of the internal reference buffer. A 2.2-μF tantalum capacitor should be placed as close
as possible to the CAP pin from ground to provide optimum switching currents for the CDAC throughout the
conversions cycle. This capacitor also provides compensation for the output of the buffer. Using a capacitor any
smaller than 1 μF can cause the output buffer to oscillate and may not have sufficient charge for the CDAC.
Capacitor values larger than 2.2 μF have little affect on improving performance. ESR is the total equivalent series
resistance of the compensation capacitor (CAP pin). See Figure 46 and Figure 47.

Figure 47. Power-Down to Power-Up Time vs Capacitor Value on CAP
The output of the buffer is capable of driving up to 1 mA of current to a DC load. Using an external buffer allows
the internal reference to be used for larger DC loads and AC loads. Do not attempt to directly drive an AC load
with the output voltage on CAP. This causes performance degradation of the converter.
REFERENCE AND POWER-DOWN
The ADS8506 has analog power-down and reference power down capabilities via PWRD (pin 25) and REFD (pin
26), respectively. PWRD and REFD high powers down all analog circuitry maintaining data from the previous
conversion in the internal registers, provided that the data has not already been shifted out through the serial
port. Typical power consumption in this mode is 50 μW. Power recovery is typically 1 ms, using a 2.2-μF
capacitor connected to CAP. Figure 47 shows power-down to power-up recovery time relative to the capacitor
value on CAP. With +5 V applied to VDIG, the digital circuitry of the ADS8506 remains active at all times,
regardless of PWRD and REFD states.
PWRD
PWRD high powers down all of the analog circuitry except for the reference. Data from the previous conversion
is maintained in the internal registers and can still be read. With PWRD high, a convert command yields
meaningless data.
REFD
REFD high powers down the internal 2.5-V reference. All other analog circuitry, including the reference buffer, is
active. REFD should be high when using an external reference to minimize power consumption and the loading
effects on the external reference. See Figure 46 for the characteristic impedance of the reference buffer's input
for both REFD high and low. The internal reference consumes approximately 5 mW.
LAYOUT
POWER
For optimum performance, tie the analog and digital power pins to the same +5-V power supply and tie the
analog and digital grounds together. As noted in the electrical characteristics, the ADS8506 uses 90% of its
power for the analog circuitry. The ADS8506 should be considered as an analog component.
The +5-V power for the A/D converter should be separate from the +5 V used for the system's digital logic.
Connecting VDIG (pin 28) directly to a digital supply can reduce converter performance due to switching noise

from the digital logic. For best performance, the +5-V supply can be produced from whatever analog supply is
used for the rest of the analog signal conditioning. If +12-V or +15-V supplies are present, a simple +5-V
regulator can be used. Although it is not suggested, if the digital supply must be used to power the converter, be
sure to properly filter the supply. Either using a filtered digital supply or a regulated analog supply, both VDIG and
VANA should be tied to the same +5-V source.
GROUNDING
Three ground pins are present on the ADS8506. DGND is the digital supply ground. AGND2 is the analog supply
ground. AGND1 is the ground to which all analog signals internal to the A/D converter are referenced. AGND1 is
more susceptible to current induced voltage drops and must have the path of least resistance back to the power
supply.
All the ground pins of the A/D converter should be tied to an analog ground plane, separated from the system's
digital logic ground, to achieve optimum performance. Both analog and digital ground planes should be tied to
the system ground as near to the power supplies as possible. This helps to prevent dynamic digital ground
currents from modulating the analog ground through a common impedance to power ground.
SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The FET switches used for the sample hold on many CMOS A/D converters release a significant amount of
charge injection which can cause the driving op amp to oscillate. The amount of charge injection due to the
sampling FET switch on the ADS8506 is approximately 5% to 10% of the amount on similar A/D converters with
the charge redistribution digital-to-analog converter (DAC) CDAC architecture. There is also a resistive front end
which attenuates any charge which is released. The end result is a minimal requirement for the drive capability
on the signal conditioning preceding the A/D converter. Any op amp sufficient for the signal in an application will
be sufficient to drive the ADS8506.
The resistive front end of the ADS8506 also provides a specified ±25-V overvoltage protection. In most cases,
this eliminates the need for external over-voltage protection circuitry.
INTERMEDIATE LATCHES
The ADS8506 does have 3-state outputs for the parallel port, but intermediate latches should be used if the bus
is active during conversions. If the bus is not active during conversion, the 3-state outputs can be used to isolate
the A/D converter from other peripherals on the same bus.
Intermediate latches are beneficial on any monolithic A/D converter. The ADS8506 has an internal LSB size of
38 μV. Transients from fast switching signals on the parallel port, even when the A/D converter is 3-stated, can
be coupled through the substrate to the analog circuitry causing degradation of converter performance.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
AVERAGING
The noise of the converter can be compensated by averaging the digital codes. By averaging conversion results,
transition noise is reduced by a factor of 1/√Hz where n is the number of averages. For example, averaging four
conversion results reduces the TN by to 0.4 LSBs. Averaging should only be used for input signals with
frequencies near DC.
For AC signals, a digital filter can be used to low-pass filter and decimate the output codes. This works in a
similar manner to averaging: for every decimation by 2, the signal-to-noise ratio improves 3 dB.
QSPI™ INTERFACE
Figure 48 shows a simple interface between the ADS8506 and any QSPI equipped microcontroller. This interface
assumes that the convert pulse does not originate from the microcontroller and that the ADS8506 is the only
serial peripheral.

QSPI Port is in Slave Mode.
Figure 48. QSPI Interface to the ADS8506
Before enabling the QSPI interface, the microcontroller must be configured to monitor the slave select line. When
a transition from low to high occurs on slave select (SS) from BUSY (indicating the end of the current
conversion), the port can be enabled. If this is not done, the microcontroller and the A/D converter may be
out-of-sync.
SPI™ INTERFACE
The SPI interface is generally only capable of 8-bit data transfers. For some microcontrollers with SPI interfaces,
it might be possible to receive data in a similar manner as shown for the QSPI interface in Figure 48. The
microcontroller needs to fetch the 8 most significant bits before the contents are overwritten by the least
significant bits.
