CS5373A
Low-power, High-performance ∆Σ Modulator and Test DAC
Modulator Features
Description
z Fourth-order ∆Σ Architecture
• Clock-jitter-tolerant architecture
• Input signal bandwidth: DC to 2 kHz
• Max AC amplitude: 5 Vpp differential
• Max DC amplitude: ± 2.5 Vdc differential
The CS5373A is a high-performance, fourth-order ∆Σ
modulator integrated with a ∆Σ digital-to-analog converter (DAC). When combined with a CS3301A / CS3302A
differential amplifier and the CS5378 digital filter, a
small, low-power, self-testing, high-accuracy, singlechannel measurement system results.
z High Dynamic Range
• 127 dB SNR @ 215 Hz BW (2 ms sampling)
• 124 dB SNR @ 430 Hz BW (1 ms sampling)
z Low Total Harmonic Distortion
• -118 dB THD typical (0.000126%)
• -112 dB THD maximum (0.000251%)
z Low Power Consumption: 25 mW, 10 µW
Test DAC Features
z Digital ∆Σ Input from CS5378 Digital Filter
z Selectable Differential Analog Outputs
• Precision output (OUT±) for electronics tests
• Buffered output (BUF±) for sensor tests
z Multiple AC and DC Operational Modes
• Output signal bandwidth: DC to 100 Hz
• Max AC amplitude: 5 Vpp differential
• Max DC amplitude: + 2.5 Vdc differential
z Selectable Attenuation for CS3301A / CS3302A
• 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64
z Outstanding Performance
• AC (OUT): -116 dB THD typical, -112 dB max
• AC (BUF): -108 dB THD typical, -90 dB max
• DC absolute accuracy: 0.4% typical, 1% max
z Low Power Consumption
• AC modes / DC modes: 40 mW / 20 mW
• Sleep mode / Power down: 1 mW / 10 µW
The modulator has high dynamic range and low total harmonic distortion with very low power consumption. It
converts differential analog input signals from the
CS3301A / CS3302A amplifier to an oversampled serial
bit stream at 512 kbits per second. This oversampled bit
stream is then decimated by the CS5378 digital filter to a
24-bit output at the selected output word rate.
The test DAC operates in either AC or DC test modes.
AC test modes measure system dynamic performance
through THD and CMRR tests while DC test modes are
for gain calibration and pulse tests. It has two sets of differential analog outputs, OUT and BUF, as dedicated
outputs for testing the electronics channel and for incircuit sensor tests. Output attenuation settings are
binary weighted and match the gain settings of the
CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers for full-scale
testing at all gain ranges.

Notes: 12. The upper bandwidth limit is determined by the CS5378 digital filter cut-off frequency.
13. Common mode voltage is defined as the mid-point of the differential signal.
14. Dynamic Range defined as 20 log [ (RMS full scale) / (RMS idle noise) ] where idle noise is measured
from a CS3301A / CS3302A amplifier terminated input at 1x gain.
15. Signal-dependent Noise defined as 20 log [ (RMS full scale) / (RMS signal noise) ] where signal noise
is measured by subtracting out the signal power at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
16. Tested with a 31.25 Hz sine wave at -1 dB amplitude.
17. Specification is for the parameter over the specified temperature range and is for the device only. It does
not include the effects of external components.
18. Specification applies to the effective offset voltage calculated from the output codes of the CS5378
digital filter following offset calibration and correction.
19. Offset calibration is performed in the CS5378 digital filter and includes the full-scale signal range.

Notes: 20. Maximum amplitude for DAC operation above 100 Hz. A reduced amplitude for higher frequencies is
required to guarantee stability of the low-power ∆Σ DAC architecture.
21. Full-scale accuracy compares the defined full-scale 1/1 amplitude to the measured 1/1 amplitude.
Specification is for unloaded outputs. Applying a differential load lowers the output amplitude ratiometric
to the differential output impedance.
22. Relative accuracy compares the measured 1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16,1/32,1/64 amplitude to the measured 1/1
amplitude.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CS5373A is a high-performance, fourthorder ∆Σ modulator integrated with a digital-toanalog converter (DAC). When combined with
a CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifier
and a CS5378 digital filter, a small low-power
self-testing high-accuracy single-channel
measurement system results.
2.1 Delta-Sigma Modulator
The CS5373A modulator has high dynamic
range and low total harmonic distortion with
very low power consumption, and is optimized
for extremely high-resolution measurement of
5 Vpp or smaller differential signals. It converts
analog input signals between DC and 2000 Hz
to an oversampled serial bit stream at
512 kbits per second.
The CS5378 digital filter generates the clock
and synchronization inputs for the modulator
while receiving the modulator one-bit data and
over-range flag outputs. The digital filter then
decimates the modulator’s oversampled output bit stream to a 24-bit output at the selected
output word rate.
2.2 Digital-to-Analog Converter
The CS5373A test DAC is driven by a digital
∆Σ bit stream from the CS5378 digital filter’s
test bit stream (TBS) generator and operates
in either AC or DC test modes. AC test modes
DS703F1
(MODE 1, 2, 3, 6) are used to measure system THD and CMRR performance. DC test
modes (MODE 4, 5) are for gain calibration
and pulse tests. The digital filter also provides
clock and syncronization signals as well as
GPIO control signals to set the operational
mode and analog output attenuation.
Two sets of differential analog outputs, OUT
and BUF, simplify system design as dedicated
outputs for testing the electronics channel and
for in-circuit sensor tests. Output attenuator
settings are binary weighted (1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,
1/16,
1/32,
1/64)
and
match
the
CS3301A / CS3302A amplifier input levels for
full-scale testing at all gain ranges.
For maximum performance, the precision outputs (OUT±) must drive only high-impedance
loads such as the CS3301A / CS3302A amplifier inputs. The buffered outputs (BUF±) can
drive lower-impedance loads, down to 1 kΩ,
but with reduced performance compared to
the precision outputs.
The test DAC is optimized for low-power operation and has a restricted operational bandwidth in the AC modes. For stable operation,
full-scale AC test signals must not contain frequencies above 100 Hz. AC test signals above
100 Hz (TBS impulse mode, for example)
must have a -20 dB reduced amplitude to ensure stability of the low-power ∆Σ architecture.

4. POWER MODES
The CS5373A has five power modes. Modulator mode, AC test modes, and DC test modes
are operational modes, while power down and
sleep mode are non-operational standby
modes.
4.1 Power Down
If MCLK is stopped, an internal loss-of-clock
detection circuit automatically places the
CS5373A into power down. Power down is independent of the MODE and ATT pin settings,
and is automatically invoked after approximately 40 µs without an incoming MCLK edge.
In power down the modulator, AC test circuitry
and DC test circuitry are inactive and all outputs are high impedance. When used with the
CS5378 digital filter, the CS5373A is in power
down immediately after reset since MCLK is
disabled by default.
4.2 Sleep Mode
With MCLK active, selecting sleep mode
(MODE 7) places the CS5373A into a micropower sleep state. In sleep mode the modulator, AC test circuitry and DC test circuitry are
inactive and all outputs are high impedance.
(MODE 0) enables the CS5373A modulator
and places the AC and DC test circuitry into a
micro-power sleep state with the analog test
outputs high impedance. Following completion
of AC and DC system self-tests, the CS5373A
is typically set into modulator mode for normal
data acquisition.
4.4 AC Test Modes
With MCLK and TDATA active, selecting an
AC test mode (MODE 1, 2, 3, 6) enables the
modulator and causes the DAC to output AC
waveforms on the analog test outputs. AC test
modes use the low-power ∆Σ DAC circuitry in
the CS5373A to create precision differential or
common mode analog AC output signals from
the encoded digital test bit stream (TBS) input.
4.5 DC Test Modes
With MCLK active, selecting a DC test mode
(MODE 4, 5) enables the modulator and causes the DAC to generate precision DC voltages
on the analog test outputs. DC test modes use
switch-capacitor level-shifting buffer circuitry
in the CS5373A to create differential or common mode DC analog output voltages from the
voltage reference input.
4.3 Modulator Mode

and one sleep mode selected by the MODE2,
MODE1, and MODE0 pins.

Mode Description
Table 2. Operational Modes
5.1 Modulator Mode
Modulator mode (MODE 0) enables the ∆Σ
modulator and disables the DAC AC and DC
test circuitry to save power. This mode is used
for normal sensor measurements after selftests are completed.
5.1.1
Modulator One’s Density
In modulator mode (and whenever the modulator is enabled) the differential analog input
signal is converted to an oversampled ∆Σ serial bit stream on the MDATA output, with a
one’s density proportional to the differential
amplitude of the analog input signal.
One’s density of the MDATA output is defined
as the ratio of ‘1’ bits to total bits in the serial
22
bit stream output, i.e. an 86% one’s density
has, on average, a ‘1’ value in 86 of every 100
output data bits. The MDATA output has a
nominal 50% one’s density for a mid-scale differential input, approximately 86% one’s density for a positive full-scale input, and
approximately 14% one’s density for a negative full-scale input.
5.1.2
Modulator Decimated Output
When the CS5373A modulator operates with
the CS5378 digital filter, the final decimated,
24-bit, full-scale output code range depends if
digital offset correction is enabled. With digital
offset correction enabled, amplifier offset and
the modulator internal offset are removed from
the final conversion result.

input resets the internal conversion state machine to synchronize analog sample timing.
MSYNC is automatically generated by the
CS5378 digital filter after receiving a synchronization signal from the external system, and
is chip-to-chip accurate within ± 1 MCLK period.

5.1.4
Modulator Idle Tones
The CS5373A modulator is ∆Σ type and so can
produce ‘idle tones’ in the measurement bandwidth when the differential input signal is a
steady-state DC signal near mid-scale. Idle
tones result from low-frequency patterns in the
output bit stream and appear in the measurement spectrum as small tones about -135 dB
down from full scale.
Idle tones are eliminated within the CS5373A
modulator by automatically adding +100 mV of
internal differential offset during conversion to
push idle tones out of the measurement bandwidth. Care should be taken to ensure external
offset voltages do not negate the internally
added differential offset.
5.1.5
Modulator Stability
The CS5373A’s ∆Σ modulator has a 4th order
architecture which is conditionally stable and
may go into an oscillatory condition if the analog inputs are over-ranged more than 5% past
either positive or negative full scale.
If an unstable condition is detected, the modulator collapses to a 1st order system and transitions the MFLAG output low-to-high to signal
an error condition to the CS5378 digital filter.
The analog input signal must be reduced to
within the full-scale range for at least 32 MCLK
cycles for the modulator to recover from an oscillatory condition. If the analog input remains
over-ranged for an extended period, the modulator will cycle between 4th order and 1st order operation and the MFLAG output will be
seen to pulse.
5.2 AC Test Modes
AC test modes (MODE 1, 2, 3, 6) enable the
modulator and use the digital test bit stream
(TBS) input from the CS5378 digital filter to
construct analog AC waveforms. The digital bit
stream input to the TDATA pin encodes the
analog waveform as over-sampled one-bit ∆Σ
data, which is then converted into precision
differential or common mode analog AC sigDS703F1
nals by the CS5373A’s test DAC.
5.2.1
AC Differential
The first three AC test modes (MODE 1, 2, 3)
enable the modulator and AC test circuitry to
create precision differential analog signals for
THD and impulse testing of the measurement
channel. In mode 1, both sets of differential analog outputs (OUT and BUF) are enabled. In
mode 2 only the OUT analog output is enabled, and the BUF output is high impedance.
In mode 3 only the BUF analog output is enabled, and the OUT output is high impedance.

CS5373A
Differential AC test signals out of the CS5373A
consist of two halves with equal but opposite
magnitude, varying about a common mode
voltage. A full-scale 5 VPP differential AC signal centered on a -0.15 V common mode voltage will have:
SIG+ = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = +1.1 V
SIG- = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG+ is +2.5 V relative to SIGFor the opposite case:
SIG+ = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG- = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = +1.1 V
SIG+ is -2.5 V relative to SIGSo the total swing for SIG+ relative to SIG- is
(+2.5 V) - (-2.5 V) = 5 Vpp differential. A similar
calculation can be done for SIG- relative to
SIG+.
It’s important to note that a 5 Vpp differential
signal centered on a -0.15 V common mode
voltage never exceeds +1.1 V with respect to
ground and never drops below -1.4 V with respect to ground on either half. By definition,
differential voltages are measured with respect to the opposite half, not relative to
ground. A voltmeter differentially measuring
between SIG+ and SIG- in the above example
would correctly read 1.767 Vrms, or 5 Vpp.

matched AC common mode analog signal for
CMRR testing of the measurement channel. In
mode 6, both sets of analog outputs (OUT and
BUF) are enabled. There is no AC common
mode output for an attenuator setting of 1/64.
Gross leakage in the sensor channel can be
detected by applying a full-scale AC common
mode signal. If there is a significant differential
mismatch in the channel due to sensor leakage, the AC common mode signal will be converted to a measurable differential signal at
the fundamental frequency.
5.2.3
DAC Stability
For the CS5373A’s low-power ∆Σ DAC architecture to remain stable, the TDATA input bit
stream should only encode 100 Hz or lower
bandwidth analog signals. For TDATA bit
stream frequencies above 100 Hz (for example, TBS impulse mode), the encoded amplitude must be reduced -20 dB below full scale
to guarantee stability.
If the CS5373A’s low-power ∆Σ DAC architecture becomes unstable, persistent elevated
noise will be present on the analog outputs
and AC linearity will be poor. To recover stability, place the CS5373A into power down or
sleep mode and restart the CS5378 test bit
stream generator before placing the CS5373A
back into an AC test mode.
5.3 DC Test Modes
DC test modes enable the modulator and DC
test circuitry to create precision level-shifted
and buffered versions of the voltage reference
input as precision DC common mode and DC
differential analog outputs. The absolute accuracy of the DC test modes is highly dependent
on the absolute accuracy of the voltage reference input voltage.
5.3.1
DC Common Mode
The first DC test mode (MODE 4) enables the
modulator and DC test circuitry to create a
matched DC common mode analog output

calibration and differential pulse tests. In mode
4, both sets of analog outputs (OUT and BUF)
are enabled.
5.3.2
DC Differential
The second DC test mode (MODE 5) enables
the modulator and DC test circuitry to create a
precision differential DC analog output voltage
as the final measurement for gain calibration
and as the step/pulse output for differential
pulse tests. In mode 5, both sets of analog outputs (OUT and BUF) are enabled.
In DC differential mode (MODE 5), level-shifting buffer circuitry adds low-level 32 kHz
switched-capacitor noise to the DC output.
This noise is out of the measurement bandwidth for systems designed with a
CS3301A / CS3302A amplifier and CS5373A
modulator and is rejected by the CS5378 digital filter. This 32 kHz noise does not affect DC
system tests, though it may be visible on an
oscilloscope at high gain levels.

cients can be calculated for the measurement
channel. By first measuring the differential offset of the DC common mode output (MODE 4)
and then measuring the DC differential mode
amplitude (MODE 5), a precise offset-corrected, volts-to-codes conversion ratio can be calculated. This known ratio is then used along
with the CS5378 digital filter GAIN register to
normalize the full-scale amplitude to match
other channels in the measurement network.
By switching between DC common mode
(MODE 4) and DC differential mode
(MODE 5), pulse waveforms can be created to
characterize the step response of the measurement channel. If a pulse test requires precise timing control, an external controller
should directly toggle the MODE pins of the
CS5373A to avoid delays associated with writing to the CS5378 digital filter GPIO register.
Sensor impedance can be measured using
DC differential mode (MODE 5), provided
matched series resistors are installed between
the BUF analog outputs and the sensor. Applying the known DC differential voltage to the
resistor-sensor-resistor string permits a ratiometric sensor impedance calculation from the
measured voltage drop across the sensor.
Switching between DC differential mode
(MODE 5) and modulator mode (MODE 0)
can, in the case of a moving-coil geophone,
test basic parameters of the electro-mechanical transfer function. The voltage relaxation
characteristic of the sensor when switching the
analog outputs from a differential DC voltage
to high impedance depends primarily on the
geophone resonant frequency and damping
factor.
5.4 Sleep Mode
Sleep mode (MODE 7) saves system power
when measurements are not required by turning off the modulator, AC test circuitry, and DC
test circuitry. In sleep mode the modulator digital outputs and the BUF and OUT analog outputs are high impedance.

6. DIGITAL SIGNALS
The CS5373A is designed to operate with the
CS5378 digital filter. The digital filter generates the master clock and synchronization signals (MCLK and MSYNC) while receiving back
the modulator one-bit ∆Σ conversion data
(MDATA) and over-range flag (MFLAG). It
also generates digital one-bit ∆Σ test bit
stream data for the test DAC (TDATA) and
controls GPIO pins to set the operational
mode (MODE) and attenuation (ATT).
6.1 MCLK Connection
The CS5378 digital filter generates the master
clock for CS5373A, typically 2.048 MHz, from
a synchronous CLK input from the external
system. By default, MCLK is disabled at reset
and is enabled by writing the digital filter CONFIG register. If MCLK is disabled during operation, the CS5373A will enter power down
after approximately 40 µS.
MCLK must have low in-band jitter to guarantee full analog performance, requiring a crystal- or VCXO-based system clock into the
digital filter. Clock jitter on the digital filter external CLK input directly translates to jitter on
MCLK.
26
6.2 MSYNC Connection
The CS5378 digital filter also provides a synchronization signal to the CS5373A. The
MSYNC signal is generated following a rising
edge received on the digital filter SYNC input.
By default MSYNC generation is disabled at
reset and is enabled by writing to the digital filter CONFIG register.
The input SYNC signal to the CS5378 digital
filter sets a common reference time t0 for measurement events, thereby synchronizing analog sampling across a measurement network.
The timing accuracy of the received SYNC signal from node to node must be +/- 1 MCLK to
maximize the MSYNC analog sample synchronization accuracy.
The CS5373A MSYNC input is rising-edge
triggered and resets the internal MCLK
counter/divider to guarantee synchronous operation with other system devices. While the
MSYNC signal synchronizes the internal operation of the CS5373A, by default, it does not
synchronize the phase of the incoming encoded digital test bit stream (TBS) sine wave unless enabled in the digital filter TBSCFG
register.
DS703F1
CS5373A
6.3 MDATA Connection
The CS5373A modulator outputs a ∆Σ serial
bit stream to the MDATA pin, with a one’s density proportional to the differential amplitude of
the analog input signal. The output bit rate
from the MDATA output is a divide-by-four of
the input master clock, and so is nominally
512 kHz.
The MDATA output has a nominal 50% one’s
density for mid-scale input, approximately
86% one’s density for a positive full-scale input, and approximately 14% one’s density for
a negative full-scale input. One’s density of the
MDATA output is defined as the ratio of ‘1’ bits
to total bits in the serial bit stream output, i.e.
an 86% one’s density has, on average, a ‘1’
value in 86 of every 100 output data bits.
6.4 MFLAG Connection
The CS5373A ∆Σ modulator has a 4th order architecture which is conditionally stable and
may go into an oscillatory condition if the analog inputs are over-ranged more than 5% past
either positive or negative full-scale.
If an unstable condition is detected, the modulator collapses to a 1st order system and transitions the MFLAG output low-to-high to signal
an error condition to the CS5378 digital filter.
The analog signal must be reduced to within
the full-scale input range for at least 32 MCLK
cycles for the modulator to recover from an oscillatory condition. If the analog input remains
over-ranged for an extended period, the modulator will cycle between 4th order and 1st order operation and the MFLAG output will be
seen to pulse.
The MFLAG output connects to a dedicated input on the CS5378 digital filter, causing an error flag to be set in the status portion of the
next conversion output data word.
6.5 TDATA Connection
The TDATA digital input to the test DAC expects encoded one-bit ∆Σ data nominally at a
256 kHz rate. The one’s density input range is
DS703F1
approximately 25% minimum to 75% maximum, with differential mid-scale at 50% one’s
density.
The CS5378 digital filter test bit stream (TBS)
generator can encode two types of AC signals
as over-sampled, one-bit ∆Σ data – a pure sine
wave for THD and CMRR testing or a triggerable impulse waveform for synchronization
testing and impulse response characterization. In the AC test modes, the test DAC converts the over-sampled test bit stream digital
data into precision differential or common
mode analog AC signals.
The CS5378 TBS sine mode encodes an approximately 5 Vpp full-scale sine wave signal
with a digital filter TBSGAIN register setting of
0x04B8F2. Because TBS impulse mode encodes frequencies above 100 Hz, a maximum
0x0078E5 TBSGAIN impulse mode register
setting is specified to guarantee stability of the
DAC low-power ∆Σ circuitry. Details on the setup and operation of the digital filter test bitstream (TBS) generator can be found in the
CS5378 data sheet.
6.6 GPIO Connections
The CS5378 controls 8 general-purpose input
output (GPIO) pins through the digital filter
GPCFG register. These GPIO pins are typically assigned to operate the CS5373A mode and
attenuator
pins,
along
with
the
CS3301A / CS3302A amplifier input mux and
gain pins. The gain and attenuation settings of
the CS3301A / CS3302A amplifiers and the
CS5373A test DAC are identically decoded to
allow full-scale performance testing at all system gain ranges with shared GAIN and ATT
control signals.
If precise timing control of operational modes
is required (for example, switching between
DC modes for pulse generation), an external
controller should directly toggle the MODE
pins of the CS5373A to avoid the delay associated with writing to the CS5378 digital filter
GPCFG register.

7. ANALOG SIGNALS
The CS5373A has multiple differential analog
inputs and outputs. The modulator analog inputs are separated into rough and fine charge
differential pairs (INR±, INF±) for maximum
sampling accuracy. Both sets of modulator inputs require a simple differential anti-alias RC
filter to ensure high-frequency signals do not
alias into the measurement bandwidth.
The test DAC has a precision differential output (OUT±) that provides the best analog performance, but with only minimal drive
capability. A buffered output (BUF±) can drive
an external load, but with reduced analog performance. Finally, the test DAC internal antialias filter requires a dedicated capacitor connection (CAP±) to eliminate undesired highfrequency signals.
7.1 INR±, INF± Modulator Inputs
The modulator analog inputs are separated
into differential rough and fine signals (INR±,
INF±). The positive half of the differential input
signal is connected to INR+ and INF+, while
the negative half is attached to INF- and INR-.
The INR± pins are switched-capacitor ‘rough
charge’ inputs that pre-charge the internal analog sampling capacitor before it is connected
to the INF± fine input pins.
28
7.1.1
Modulator Input Impedance
The modulator input has a dynamic switchedcapacitor architecture and so has a rough
charge input impedance that is inversely proportional to the input master clock frequency
and the input capacitor size, [1 / (f * C)].
•
MCLK = 2.048 MHz
•
INR± Input Cap = 20 pF
•
Impedance = [1 / (2.048 MHz * 20 pF)] = 24 kΩ.
Internal to the modulator, the rough inputs
(INR±) pre-charge the sampling capacitor
used by the fine inputs (INF±), therefore the input current to the fine inputs is very low and the
effective input impedance is orders of magnitude above the impedance of the rough inputs.
7.1.2
Modulator Anti-alias Filter
The modulator inputs are required to be bandwidth limited to ensure modulator loop stability
and prevent high-frequency signals from aliasing into the measurement band. The use of
simple single-pole differential low-pass RC filters across the INR± and INF± inputs ensures
high-frequency signals are rejected before
they can alias into the measurement band.

Figure 14 illustrates the CS5373A modulator
analog connections with input anti-alias filter
components. Filter components on the rough
and fine pins should be identical values for optimum performance, with the capacitor values
a minimum of 0.02 µF. The rough input can
use either X7R or C0G type capacitors, while
the fine input requires C0G type capacitors for
optimal linearity. Using X7R type capacitors on
the fine analog inputs will degrade total harmonic distortion significantly.
The CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers are designed with separate rough and fine
analog outputs (OUTR±, OUTF±) that match
the rough and fine inputs to the modulator
(INR±, INF±). External anti-alias series resistors and differential capacitors create the required anti-alias RC filters.
7.2 DAC Output Attenuation
The CS5373A test DAC has seven analog output attenuation settings from 1/1 to 1/64 selected with the ATT2, ATT1, and ATT0 pins.
When enabled, attenuation is applied to both
the OUT± and BUF± differential analog outputs. At 1/64 attenuation in AC Common Mode
(MODE 6) there is no output signal amplitude
DS703F1
Figure 15. DAC Output Attenuation Settings
due to the attenuator architecture.
The OUT± pins connect directly into the internal attenuator resistors and so attenuation accuracy is highly sensitive to load impedance
on the OUT± pins. Loading on the BUF± pins
does not affect attenuator accuracy.
The attenuation settings of CS5373A match
the gain ranges of the CS3301A / CS3302A
differential amplifiers to enable full-scale testing
at
all
gain
ranges.
The
CS3301A / CS3302A amplifier gain settings
(GAIN) are decoded identical to the CS5373A
attenuator settings (ATT) and so can share
GPIO control signals from the CS5378 digital
filter.
7.3 DAC OUT± Precision Output
The test DAC OUT± pins are precision differential analog outputs for testing the high-performance electronics measurement channel.
These precision outputs have higher perfor-
29
CS5373A
mance specifications than the BUF± outputs,
but with a much higher sensitivity to external
loading. Excessive resistive or capacitive loading on the OUT± pins will degrade the analog
performance characteristics of the test DAC in
all operational modes.
The OUT± precision output is optimized for direct connection to the CS3301A / CS3302A
amplifier differential inputs, which have very
high input impedance. These amplifiers include a pin-controlled input multiplexer to
switch between an internal differential termination for noise tests and two external differential
inputs. One external input is typically dedicated to sensor measurements and the other to
testing the electronics channel.
The OUT± outputs are enabled in all operational modes except modulator mode
(MODE 0), “AC BUF Only” mode (MODE 3)
and sleep mode (MODE 7). In these modes
the OUT± pins are high impedance.
7.4 DAC BUF± Buffered Output
The test DAC BUF± pins are buffered differential analog outputs for testing external sensors
such as geophones or hydrophones. The buffered outputs have reduced performance specifications compared with the OUT± outputs,
but are less sensitive to external loading.
The BUF± outputs are enabled in all operational modes except modulator mode (MODE 0),
“AC OUT Only” mode (MODE 2) and sleep
mode (MODE 7). In these modes the BUF±
pins are high impedance to ensure they do not
interfere with sensor operation during normal
data acquisition.
For sensor impedance testing, it is required to
place matched series resistors in between the
BUF± outputs and the differential sensor. With
known series resistors and a known DC differential source voltage, sensor resistance can
be calculated ratiometrically from the measured voltage drop across the sensor.
30
7.5 DAC CAP± Connection
The CS5373A test DAC requires a 10 nF C0G
type capacitor to be connected differentially
across the CAP± pins. This capacitor creates
an internal anti-alias filter to eliminate high-frequency signals from the OUT± and BUF± analog outputs and helps to maintain the stability
of the low-power ∆Σ DAC circuitry.
A COG, NPO or similar high-quality capacitor
is required for CAP± since other capacitor
types, such as X7R, do not have the required
linearity. Using a poor-quality capacitor on
CAP± will significantly degrade THD performance of the test DAC AC operational modes.
7.6 Analog Differential Signals
Differential AC test signals into and out of the
CS5373A consist of two halves with equal but
opposite magnitude varying about a common
mode voltage. A full-scale 5 VPP differential
AC signal centered on a -0.15 V common
mode voltage will have:
SIG+ = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = +1.1 V
SIG- = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG+ is +2.5 V relative to SIGFor the opposite case:
SIG+ = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG- = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = +1.1 V
SIG+ is -2.5 V relative to SIGSo the total swing for SIG+ relative to SIG- is
(+2.5 V) - (-2.5 V) = 5 Vpp differential. A similar
calculation can be done for SIG- relative to
SIG+. It’s important to note that a 5 Vpp differential signal centered on a -0.15 V common
mode voltage never exceeds +1.1 V with respect to ground and never drops below -1.4 V
with respect to ground on either half. By definition, differential voltages are measured with
respect to the opposite half, not relative to
ground. A voltmeter differentially measuring
between SIG+ and SIG- in the above example
would correctly read 1.767 Vrms, or 5 Vpp.

Figure 16. Voltage Reference Circuit
8. VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The CS5373A requires a 2.500 V precision
voltage reference to be supplied to the VREF±
pins.
8.1 VREF Power Supply
To guarantee proper regulation headroom for
the voltage reference device, the voltage reference GND pin should be connected to VA- instead of system ground, as shown in
Figure 16. This connection results in a VREFvoltage equal to VA- and a VREF+ voltage
very near ground [(VA-) + 2.500 VREF].
Power supply inputs to the voltage reference
device should be bypassed to system ground
with 0.1 µF capacitors placed as close as possible to the power and ground pins. In addition
to 0.1 µF local bypass capacitors, at least
100 µF of bulk capacitance to system ground
should be placed on each power supply near
the voltage regulator outputs. Bypass capacitors should be X7R, C0G, tantalum, or other
high-quality dielectric type.
8.2 VREF RC Filter
A primary concern in selecting a precision voltage reference device is noise performance in
the measurement bandwidth. The Linear
Technology LT1019AIS8-2.5 voltage reference yields acceptable noise levels if the output is filtered with a low-pass RC filter.
A separate RC filter is required for each system device connected to a given voltage referDS703F1
ence. By sharing a common RC filter, signaldependent sampling of the voltage reference
by one system device could cause unwanted
tones to appear in the measurement bandwidth of another system device via common
impedance coupling.
8.3 VREF PCB Routing
To minimize the possibility of outside noise
coupling into the CS5373A voltage reference
input, the VREF± traces should be routed as a
differential pair from the large capacitor of the
voltage reference RC filter. Careful control of
the voltage reference source and return currents by routing VREF± as a differential pair
will improve immunity from external noise.
To further improve noise rejection of the
VREF± routing, include 0.1 µF bypass capacitors to system ground as close as possible
to the VREF+ and VREF- pins of the
CS5373A.
8.4 VREF Input Impedance
The switched-capacitor input architecture of
the VREF± inputs results in an input impedance that depends on the internal capacitor
size and the clock frequency. With a 15 pF internal capacitor and a 2.048 MHz MCLK the
VREF input impedance is approximately
[1 / [(2.048 MHz) * (15 pF)]] = 32 kΩ.
While
the size of the internal capacitor is fixed, the
voltage reference input impedance will vary
31
CS5373A
with MCLK.
The voltage reference external RC filter series
resistor creates a voltage divider with the
VREF input impedance to reduce the effective
applied input voltage. To minimize gain error
resulting from this voltage divider effect, the
RC filter series resistor should be the minimum
size recommended in the voltage reference
device data sheet.
8.5 VREF Accuracy
The nominal voltage reference input is specified as 2.500 V across the VREF± pins, and all
CS5373A gain accuracy specifications are
measured with a nominal voltage reference input. Any variation from a nominal VREF input
will proportionally vary the analog full-scale
gain accuracy.
Since temperature drift of the voltage reference results in gain drift of the analog full-scale
amplitude, care should be taken to minimize
temperature drift effects through careful selection of passive components and the voltage
reference device itself. Gain drift specifications
of the CS5373A do not include the tempera-
32
ture drift effects of external passive components or of the voltage reference device itself.
8.6 VREF Independence
If the test signal source is required to be fully
independent of the measurement channel, the
CS5373A device cannot be used. Instead, a
CS5371A modulator and a CS4373A test DAC
should be used and connected to two independent voltage reference devices. This will eliminate the possibility for undetected ratiometric
errors when the same voltage reference device is used by both the test signal source and
the measurement channel.
Because modern precision voltage references
are highly reliable, requirements for separate
modulator and test DAC voltage references
should be considered carefully. In the unlikely
event of voltage reference failure independent
of other system components, the CS5373A
volts-to-codes ratio will be out of spec and
measurement channel performance will be
poor during system self-tests.

9. POWER SUPPLIES
The CS5373A has a positive analog power
supply pin (VA+), a negative analog power
supply pin (VA-), a digital power supply pin
(VD), and a ground pin (GND).
For proper operation, power must be supplied
to all power supply pins, and the ground pin
must be connected to system ground. The
CS5373A digital power supply (VD) and the
CS5378 digital power supply (VDDPAD) must
share a common power supply voltage.
9.1 Power Supply Bypassing
The VA+, VA-, and VD power supplies should
be bypassed to system ground with 0.1 µF capacitors placed as close as possible to the
power pins of the device. In addition to the
0.1 µF local bypass capacitors, at least 100 µF
bulk capacitance to system ground should be
placed on each power supply near the voltage
regulator output, with additional power supply
bulk capacitance placed among the analog
component route if space permits. Bypass capacitors should be X7R, C0G, tantalum, or
other high-quality dielectric type.
9.2 PCB Layers and Routing
The CS5373A is a high-performance device,
and special care must be taken to ensure power and ground routing is correct. Power can be
supplied either through dedicated power
planes or routed traces. When routing power
traces, it is recommended to use a “star” routDS703F1
ing scheme with the star point either at the
voltage regulator output or at a local power
supply bulk capacitor.
It is also recommended to dedicate a full PCB
layer to a solid ground plane, without splits or
routing. All bypass capacitors should connect
between the power supply circuit and the solid
ground plane as near as possible to the device
power supply pins.
The CS5373A analog signals are differentially
routed and do not normally require connection
to a separate analog ground. However, if a
separate analog ground is required, it should
be routed using a “star” routing scheme on a
separate layer from the solid ground plane and
connected to the ground plane only at the star
point. Be sure all active devices and passive
components connected to the analog ground
are included in the “star” route to ensure sensitive analog currents do not return through the
ground plane.
9.3 Power Supply Rejection
Power supply rejection of the CS5373A is frequency dependent. The CS5378 digital filter
rejects power supply noise for frequencies
above the selected digital filter corner frequency. Power supply noise frequencies between
DC and the digital filter corner frequency are
rejected
as
specified
in
the
Power Supply Characteristics table.
33
CS5373A
9.4 SCR Latch-up
The VA- pin is tied to the CS5373A CMOS
substrate and must always be the most-negative voltage applied to the device to ensure
SCR latch-up does not occur. In general,
latch-up may occur when any pin voltage exceeds
the
limits
specified
in
the
Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
It is recommended to connect the VA- power
supply to system ground (GND) with a reverse-biased Schottky diode. At power up, if
the VA+ power supply ramps before the VAsupply is established, the VA- pin voltage
could be pulled above ground potential
through the CS5373A device. If the VA- supply
is pulled 0.7 V or more above GND, SCR
latch-up can occur. A reverse-biased Schottky
diode will clamp the VA- voltage a maximum of
0.3 V above ground to ensure SCR latch-up
does not occur at power up.
9.5 DC-DC Converters
Many low-frequency measurement systems
are battery powered and utilize DC-DC con-
34
verters to efficiently generate power supply
voltages. To minimize interference effects, operate the DC-DC converter at a frequency
which is rejected by the digital filter, or operate
it synchronous to the MCLK rate.
A synchronous DC-DC converter whose operating frequency is derived from MCLK will theoretically minimize the potential for “beat
frequencies” to appear in the measurement
bandwidth. However this requires the source
clock to remain jitter-free within the DC-DC
converter circuitry. If clock jitter can occur within the DC-DC converter (as in a PLL-based architecture), it’s better to use a nonsynchronous DC-DC converter whose switching frequency is rejected by the digital filter.
During PCB layout, do not place high-current
DC-DC converters near sensitive analog components. Carefully routing a separate DC-DC
“star” ground will help isolate noisy switching
currents away from the sensitive analog components.
