NSC ADC10158

ADC10154/ADC10158
10-Bit Plus Sign 4 µs ADCs with 4- or 8-Channel MUX,
Track/Hold and Reference
General Description
Features
The ADC10154 and ADC10158 are CMOS 10-bit plus sign
successive approximation A/D converters with versatile analog input multiplexers, track/hold function and a 2.5V
band-gap reference. The 4-channel or 8-channel multiplexers can be software configured for single-ended, differential
or pseudo-differential modes of operation.
The input track/hold is implemented using a capacitive array
and sampled-data comparator.
Resolution can be programmed to be 8-bit, 8-bit plus sign,
10-bit or 10-bit plus sign. Lower-resolution conversions can
be performed faster.
The variable resolution output data word is read in two bytes,
and can be formatted left justified or right justified, high byte
first.

Pin Descriptions
AV+
This is the positive analog supply. This pin
should be bypassed with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor to the
system analog ground.
DV+
This is the positive digital supply. This supply
pin also needs to be bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic and 10 µF tantalum capacitors to the
system digital ground. AV+ and DV+ should be
bypassed separately and tied to same power
supply.
This is the digital ground. All logic levels are referred to this ground.
DGND
V−
This is the negative analog supply. For unipolar
operation this pin may be tied to the system
analog ground or to a negative supply source.
It should not go above DGND by more than
50 mV. When bipolar operation is required, the
voltage on this pin will limit the analog input’s
negative voltage level. In bipolar operation this
supply pin needs to be bypassed with 0.1 µF
ceramic and 10 µF tantalum capacitors to the
system analog ground.
VREF+,
VREF−
These are the positive and negative reference
inputs. The voltage difference between VREF+
and VREF− will set the analog input voltage
span.
VREFOut
This is the internal band-gap voltage reference
output. For proper operation of the voltage reference, this pin needs to be bypassed with a
330 µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor.
CS
This is the chip select input. When a logic low
is applied to this pin the WR and RD pins are
enabled.
www.national.com
RD
This is the read control input. When a logic low
is applied to this pin the digital outputs are enabled and the INT output is reset high.
WR
This is the write control input. The rising edge
of the signal applied to this pin selects the multiplexer channel and initiates a conversion.
INT
This is the interrupt output. A logic low at this
output indicates the completion of a conversion.
CLK
This is the clock input. The clock frequency directly controls the duration of the conversion
time (for example, in the 10-bit bipolar mode
tC = 22/fCLK) and the acquisition time (tA =
6/fCLK).
DB0(MA0) These are the digital data inputs/outputs. DB0
–DB7 (L/R) is the least significant bit of the digital output
word; DB7 is the most significant bit in the digital output word (see the Output Data Configuration table). MA0 through MA4 are the digital
inputs for the multiplexer channel selection
(see the Multiplexer Addressing tables). U/S
(Unsigned/Signed), 8/10, (8/10-bit resolution)
and L/R (Left/Right justification) are the digital
input bits that set the A/D’s output word format
and resolution (see the Output Data Configuration table). The conversion time is modified by
the chosen resolution (see Electrical AC Characteristics table). The lower the resolution, the
faster the conversion will be.
CH0–CH7 These are the analog input multiplexer channels. They can be configured as single-ended
inputs,
differential
input
pairs,
or
pseudo-differential inputs (see the Multiplexer
Addressing tables for the input polarity
assignments).

Note 2: Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and
test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 3: All voltages are measured with respect to GND, unless otherwise specified.
Note 4: When the input voltage (VIN) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VIN < V− or VIN > AV+ or DV+), the current at that pin should be limited to 5 mA. The
20 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 5 mA to four.
Note 5: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax, θJA and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD = (TJmax − TA)/θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For this device,
TJmax = 150˚C. The typical thermal resistance (θJA) of these parts when board mounted follow: ADC10154 with BIN and CIN suffixes 65˚C/W, ADC10154 with BIJ,
CIJ and CMJ suffixes 49˚C/W, ADC10154 with BIWM and CIWM suffixes 72˚C/W, ADC10158 with BIN and CIN suffixes 59˚C/W, ADC10158 with BIJ, CIJ, and CMJ
suffixes 46˚C/W, ADC10158 with BIWM and CIWM suffixes 68˚C/W.
Note 6: Human body model, 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
Note 7: See AN-450 “Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability” or the section titled “Surface Mount” found in any post-1986 National Semiconductor Linear Data Book for other methods of soldering surface mount devices.
Note 8: Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input as shown below. They will forward-conduct for analog input voltages one diode drop below V− supply or
one diode drop greater than V+ supply. Be careful during testing at low V+ levels (4.5V), as high level analog inputs (5V) can cause an input diode to conduct, especially at elevated temperatures, which will cause errors for analog inputs near full-scale. The specification allows 50 mV forward bias of either diode; this means
that as long as the analog VIN does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50 mV, the output code will be correct. Exceeding this range on an unselected channel will corrupt the reading of a selected channel. This means that if AV+ and DV+ are minimum (4.5 VDC) and V− is a maximum (−4.5 VDC) full scale must be ≤ ± 4.55
VDC.
DS011225-4
+
Note 9: A diode exists between AV and
DV+
as shown below.
DS011225-5
To guarantee accuracy, it is required that the AV+ and DV+ be connected together to a power supply with separate bypass filter at each V+ pin.
Note 10: Typicals are at TJ = TA = 25˚C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Note 11: Tested limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 12: One LSB is referenced to 10 bits of resolution.
Note 13: Total unadjusted error includes offset, full-scale, linearity, multiplexer, and hold step errors.
Note 14: For DC Common Mode Error the only specification that is measured is offset error.
Note 15: Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
Note 16: All the timing specifications are tested at the TTL logic levels, VIL = 0.8V for a falling edge and VIH = 2.0V for a rising.

ADC10154/ADC10158
Detailed Block Diagram
ADC10154/ADC10158
1.0 Functional Description
ately after the acquisition period the input signal is held and
the actual conversion begins. The number of clocks required
for a conversion is given in the following table:
The ADC10154 and ADC10158 use successive approximation to digitize an analog input voltage. Additional logic has
been incorporated in the devices to allow for the programmability of the resolution, conversion time and digital output format. A capacitive array and a resistive ladder structure are
used in the DAC portion of the A/D converters. The structure
of the DAC allows a very simple switching scheme to provide
a very versatile analog input multiplexer. Also, inherent in
this structure is a sample/hold. A 2.5V CMOS band-gap reference is also provided on the ADC10154 and ADC10158.

Since the CLK ÷2 signal is internal to the ADC, it is initially
impossible to know which falling edge of CLK corresponds to
the falling edge of CLK÷2. For the first conversion, the rising
edge of WR should occur at least tWS ns before any falling
edge of CLK. If this edge happens to be on the rising edge of
CLK÷2, this will add 2 CLK cycles to the total conversion
time. The phase of the CLK÷2 signal can be determined at
the end of the first conversion, when INT goes low. INT always goes low on the falling edge of the CLK÷2 signal. From
the first falling edge of INT onward, every other falling edge
of CLK will correspond to the falling edge of CLK÷2. With the
phase of CLK ÷2 now known, the conversion time can be
minimized by taking WR high at least tWS ns before the falling edge of CLK÷2.
Upon completion of the conversion, INT goes low to signal
the A/D conversion result is ready to be read. Taking CS and
RD low will enable the digital output buffer and put byte 1 of
the conversion result on DB0 through DB7. The falling edge
of RD resets the INT output high. Taking CS and RD low a
second time will put byte 2 of the conversion result on
DB7–DB0. Table 1 defines the DB0–DB7 assignment for different Control Input Data. The second read does not have to
be completed before a new conversion is started.
Taking CS, WR and RD low simultaneously will start a conversion without changing the multiplexer channel assignment or output configuration and resolution. The timing diagram in Figure 3 shows the sequence of events that
implement this function. Refer to Diagrams 1, 2, and 3 in the
Timing Diagrams section for the timing constraints that must
be met.
The ADC10154 and ADC10158 have eight digital outputs
(DB0–DB8) and can be easily interfaced to an 8-bit data
bus. Taking CS and WR low simultaneously will strobe the
data word on the data-bus into the input latch. This word will
be decoded to determine the multiplexer channel selection,
the A/D conversion resolution and the output data format.
The following table shows the input word data-bit assignment.
DS011225-44
DB0 through DB4 are assigned to the multiplexer address
data bits zero through four (MA0–MA4). Tables 2, 3 describe
the multiplexer address assignment. DB5 selects unsigned
or signed (U/S) operation. DB6 selects 8- or 10-bit resolution. DB7 selects left or right justification of the output data.
Refer to Table 1 for the effect the Control Input Data has on
the digital output word.
The conversion process is started by the rising edge of WR,
which sets the “start conversion” bit inside the ADC. If this bit
is set, the converter will start acquiring the input voltage on
the next falling edge of the internal CLK÷2 signal. The acquisition period is 3 CLK÷2 periods, or 6 CLK periods. Immedi-

the digital output. This information is then manipulated by the
Digital Output decoder to the programmed format. The reformatted data is then available to be strobed onto the data bus
(DB0–DB7) via the digital output buffers by taking CS and
RD low.
(Continued)
Digital Interface Hints:
•
Reads and writes can be completely asynchronous to
CLK.
•
In addition to the timing indicated in Diagrams 1–3, CS
can be tied low permanently or taken low for entire conversions, eliminating all the CS guardbands (tCR, tRC,
tCW, tWC).
• If CS is used as shown in Diagrams 1–-3, the CS guardbands (tCR, tRC, tCW, tWC) between CS and the RD and
WR signals can safely be ignored as long as the following two conditions are met:
1) When initiating a write, CS and WR must be simultaneously low for at least tW(WR) ns (see Diagram 1). The
“start” conversion” bit will be set on the rising edge of WR
or CS, whichever is first.
2) When reading data, understand that data will not be valid
until tACC ns after both CS and RD go low. The output
data will enter TRI-STATE t1H ns or t0H ns after either CS
or RD goes high (see Diagrams 2 and 3).
2.0 Applications Information
2.1 MULTIPLEXER CONFIGURATION
The design of these converters utilizes a sampled-data comparator structure which allows a differential analog input to
be converted by the successive approximation routine.
The actual voltage converted is always the difference between an assigned “+” input terminal and a “−” input terminal.
The polarity of each input terminal or pair of input terminals
being converted indicates which line the converter expects
to be the most positive. If the assigned “+” input is less than
the “−” input the converter responds with an all zeros output
code when configured for unsigned operation. When configured for signed operation the A/D responds with the appropriate output digital code.
A unique input multiplexing scheme has been utilized to provide multiple analog channels. The input channels can be
software configured into three modes: differential,
single-ended, or pseudo-differential. Figure 4 shows the
three modes using the 4-channel MUX of the ADC10154.
The eight inputs of the ADC10158 can also be configured in
any of the three modes. The single-ended mode has
CH0–CH3 assigned as the positive input with the negative
input being the VREF− of the device. In the differential mode,
the ADC10154 channel inputs are grouped in pairs, CH0
with CH1 and CH2 with CH3. The polarity assignment of
each channel in the pair is interchangeable. Finally, in the
pseudo-differential mode CH0–CH2 are positive inputs referred to CH3 which is now a pseudo-ground. This
pseudo-ground input can be set to any potential within the input common-mode range of the converter. The analog signal
conditioning required in transducer-based data acquisition
systems is significantly simplified with this type of input flexibility. One converter package can now handle
ground-referred inputs and true differential inputs as well as
signals referred to a specific voltage.
The analog input voltages for each channel can range from
50 mV below V− (typically ground for unipolar operation or
−5V for bipolar operation) to 50 mV above V+ = DV+ = AV+
(typically 5V) without degrading conversion accuracy. If the
voltage on an unselected channel exceeds these limits it
may corrupt the reading of the selected channel.
1.2 ARCHITECTURE
Before a conversion is started, during the analog input sampling period, the sampled data comparator is zeroed. As the
comparator is being zeroed the channel assigned to be the
positive input is connected to the A/D’s input capacitor. (See
the Digital Interface section for a description of the assignment procedure.) This charges the input 32C capacitor of the
DAC to the positive analog input voltage. The switches
shown in the DAC portion of the detailed block diagram are
set for this zeroing/acquisition period. The voltage at the input and output of the comparator are at equilibrium at this
point in time. When the conversion is started the comparator
feedback switches are opened and the 32C input capacitor
is then switched to the assigned negative input voltage.
When the comparator feedback switch opens a fixed amount
of charge is trapped on the common plates of the capacitors.
The voltage at the input of the comparator moves away from
equilibrium when the 32C capacitor is switched to the assigned negative input voltage, causing the output of the comparator to go high (“1”) or low (“0”). The SAR next goes
through an algorithm, controlled by the output state of the
comparator, that redistributes the charge on the capacitor array by switching the voltage on one side of the capacitors in
the array. The objective of the SAR algorithm is to return the
voltage at the input of the comparator as close as possible to
equilibrium.
The switch position information at the completion of the successive approximation routine is a direct representation of

FIGURE 4. Analog Input Multiplexer Options
The 2.5V reference output is referred to the negative supply
pin (V−). Therefore, the voltage at VREFOut will always be
2.5V greater than the voltage applied to V−. Applying this
voltage to VREF+ with VREF− tied to V− will yield an analog
voltage span of 2.5V. In bipolar operation the voltage at
VREFOut will be at −2.5V when V− is tied to −5V. For the
single-ended multiplexer mode the analog input voltage
range will be from −5V to −2.5V. The pseudo-differential and
differential multiplexer modes allow for more flexibility in the
analog input voltage range since the “zero” reference voltage is set by the actual voltage applied to the assigned
negative input pin. The drawback of using the internal reference in the bipolar mode is that any noise on the −5V tied to
the V− pin will affect the conversion result. The bandgap reference is specified and tested in unipolar operation with V−
tied to the system ground.
In a ratiometric system (Figure 5 (a)), the analog input voltage is proportional to the voltage used for the A/D reference.
This voltage may also be the system power supply, so VREF+
can also be tied to AV+. This technique relaxes the stablity
requirements of the system reference as the analog input
and A/D reference move together maintaining the same output code for a given input condition.
2.2 REFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS
The voltage difference between the VREF+ and VREF− inputs
defines the analog input voltage span (the difference between VIN(Max) and VIN(Min)) over which the 2n (where n is
the programmed resolution) possible output codes apply. In
the pseudo-differential and differential modes the actual voltage applied to VREF+ and VREF− can lie anywhere between
the AV+ and V−. Only the difference voltage is of importance.
When using the single-ended multiplexer mode the voltage
at VREF− has a dual function. It simultaneously determines
the “zero” reference voltage and, with VREF+, the analog voltage span.
The value of the voltage on the VREF+ or VREF− inputs can be
anywhere between AV+ + 50 mV and V− − 50 mV, so long as
VREF+ is greater than VREF−. The ADC10154 and ADC10158
can be used in either ratiometric applications or in systems
requiring absolute accuracy. The reference pins must be
connected to a voltage source capable of driving the minimum reference input resistance of 4.5 kΩ.
The internal 2.5V bandgap reference in the ADC10154 and
ADC10158 is available as an output on the VREFOut pin. To
ensure optimum performance this output needs to be bypassed to ground with 330 µF aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor. The reference output is unstable with capacitive loads greater than 100 pF and less than 100 µF. Any
capacitive loads ≤100 pF or ≥100 µF will not cause the reference to oscillate. Lower output noise can be obtained by increasing the output capacitance. The 330 µF capacitor will
yield a typical noise floor of 200 nVrms/
.
www.national.com
For absolute accuracy (Figure 5 (b)), where the analog input
varies between very specific voltage limits, the reference pin
can be biased with a time- and temperature-stable voltage
source that has excellent initial accuracy. The LM4040 and
LM185 references are suitable for use with the ADC10154
and ADC10158.

FIGURE 5. Different Reference Configurations
The minimum value of VREF (VREF = VREF+ − VREF−) can be
quite small (see Typical Performance Characteristics) to allow direct conversion of transducer outputs providing less
than a 5V output span. Particular care must be taken with regard to noise pickup, circuit layout and system error voltage
sources when operating with a reduced span due to the increased sensitivity of the converter (1 LSB equals VREF/2n).
the acquisition time (tA). The negative input needs to be
stable during the complete conversion sequence because it
is sampled before each decision in the SAR sequence.
Therefore, any AC common-mode signal present on the analog inputs will not be completely cancelled and will cause
some conversion errors. For a sinusoid common-mode signal this error is:
Verror(Max) = VPEAK (2πfCM)(tC)
2.3 THE ANALOG INPUTS
Due to the sampling nature of the analog inputs, at the clock
edges short duration spikes of current will be seen on the selected assigned negative input. Input bypass capacitors
should not be used if the source resistance is greater than
1 kΩ since they will average the AC current and cause an effective DC current to flow through the analog input source resistance. An op amp RC active lowpass filter can provide
both impedance buffering and noise filtering should a high
impedance signal source be required. Bypass capacitors
may be used when the source impedance is very low without
any degradation in performance.
In a true differential input stage, a signal that is common to
both “+” and “−” inputs is cancelled. For the ADC10154 and
ADC10158, the positive input of a selected channel pair is
only sampled once before the start of a conversion during
where fCM is the frequency of the common-mode signal,
VPEAK is its peak voltage value, and tC is the A/D’s maximum
conversion time (tC = 22/fCLK for 10-bit plus sign resolution).
For example, for a 60 Hz common-mode signal to generate
a 1⁄4 LSB error (1.24 mV) with a 4.5 µs conversion time, its
peak value would have to be approximately 731 mV.
2.4 OPTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
2.4.1 Zero Error
The zero error of the A/D converter relates to the location of
the first riser of the transfer function (see Figure 1) and can
be measured by grounding the minus input and applying a
small magnitude positive or negative voltage to the plus input. Zero error is the difference between actual DC input
voltage which is necessary to just cause an output digital
19

ADC10154/ADC10158
2.0 Applications Information
analog input voltage. Any change in the analog voltage on a
selected positive input before or after the acquisition window
will not effect the A/D conversion result.
In the simplest case, the array’s acquisition time is determined by the RON (9 kΩ) of the multiplexer switches, the
stray input capacitance CS1 (3.5 pF) and the total array (CL)
and stray (CS2) capacitance (CL + CS2 = 48 pF). For a large
source resistance the analog input can be modeled as an
RC network as shown in Figure 6. The values shown yield an
acquisition time of about 1.1 µs for 10-bit unipolar or 10-bit
plus sign bipolar accuracy with a zero-to-full-scale change in
the input voltage. External source resistance and capacitance will lengthen the acquisition time and should be accounted for. Slowing the clock will lengthen the acquisition
time, thereby allowing a larger external source resistance.

code transition from 000 0000 0000 to 000 0000 0001
(10-bits plus sign) and the ideal 1⁄2 LSB value (1⁄2 LSB = 2.44
mV for VREF = + 5.000V and 10-bit plus sign resolution).
The zero error of the A/D does not require adjustment. If the
minimum analog input voltage value, VIN(Min), is not ground,
the effetive “zero” voltage can be adjusted to a convenient
value. The converter can be made to output an all zeros digital code for this minimum input voltage by biasing any minus
input to VIN(Min). This is useful for either the differential or
pseudo-differential input channel configurations.
2.4.2 Full-Scale
The full-scale adjustment can be made by applying a differential input voltage which is 11⁄2 LSB down from the desired
analog full-scale voltage range and then adjusting the VREF
voltage (VREF = VREF+ − VREF−) for a digital output code
changing from 011 1111 1110 to 011 1111 1111. In bipolar
signed operation this only adjusts the positive full scale error.
The negative full-scale error will be as specified in the Electrical Characteristics after a positive full-scale adjustment.
2.4.3 Adjusting for an Arbitrary Analog Input
Voltage Range
If the analog zero voltage of the A/D is shifted away from
ground (for example, to accommodate an analog input signal
which does not go to ground), this new zero reference
should be properly adjusted first. A plus input voltage which
equals this desired zero reference plus 1⁄2 LSB (where the
LSB is calculated for the desired analog span, using 1 LSB =
analog span/2n, n being the programmed resolution) is applied to selected plus input and the zero reference voltage at
the corresponding minus input should then be adjusted to
just obtain the 000HEX to 001HEX code transition.
The full-scale adjustment should be made [with the proper
minus input voltage applied] by forcing a voltage to the plus
input which is given by:
DS011225-23
FIGURE 6. Analog Input Model
The curve “Signal to Noise Ratio vs. Output Frequency” (Figure 7) gives an indication of the usable bandwidth of the
ADC10154/ADC10158. The signal-to-noise ratio of an ideal
A/D is the ratio of the RMS value of the full scale input signal
amplitude to the value of the total error amplitude (including
noise) caused by the transfer function of the A/D. An ideal
10-bit plus sign A/D converter with a total unadjusted error of
0 LSB would have a signal-to-noise ratio of about 68 dB,
which can be derived from the equation:
S/N = 6.02(n) + 1.76
where S/N is in dB and n is the number of bits. Figure 3
shows the signal-to-noise ratio vs. input frequency of a typical ADC10154/ADC10158 with 1⁄2 LSB total unadjusted error. The dotted lines show signal-to-noise ratios for an ideal
(noiseless) 10-bit A/D with 0 LSB error and an A/D with a 1
LSB error.
where VMAX equals the high end of the ananlog input range,
VMIN equals the low end (the offset zero) of the analog range
and n equals the programmed resolution. Both VMAX and
VMIN are ground referred. The VREF (VREF = VREF+ − VREF−)
voltage is then adjusted to provide a code change from
3FEHEX to 3FFHEX. Note, when using a pseudo-differential
or differential multiplexer mode where VREF+ and VREF− are
placed within the V+ and V− range, the individual values of
VREF+ and VREF− do not matter, only the difference sets the
analog input voltage span. This completes the adjustment
procedure.
SNR vs Input Frequency
2.5 INPUT SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
The ADC10154/8’s sample/hold capacitor is implemented in
the capacitor array. After the channel address is loaded, the
array is switched to sample the selected positive analog input. The rising edge of WR loads the multiplexer addressing
information. The sampling period for the assigned positive
input is maintained for the duration of the acquisition time
(tA), i.e., approximately 6 to 8 clock cycles after the rising
edge of WR.
