PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. Specified for Supply voltages of 1.8 V to 3.6 V
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are 12/10/8-bit, high
speed, low power, successive-approximation ADCs respectively. The parts operate from a single 1.8 V to 3.6 V
power supply and feature throughput rates up to 100
kSPS. The parts contain a low-noise, wide bandwidth
track/hold amplifier which can handle input frequencies in
excess of 100 kHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using CS and the serial clock, allowing the devices to
interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal
is sampled on the falling edge of CS and the conversion is
also initiated at this point. There are no pipelined delays
associated with the part.
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 use advanced design techniques to achieve very low power dissipation at high
throughput rates.
2. 8/10/12-Bit ADCs in a SOT-23 package.
3. High Throughput with Low Power Consumption
4. Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock
allowing the conversion time to be reduced through the
serial clock speed increase. Automatic power down after
conversion, which allows the average power cunsumption
to be reduced when in powerdown. Power consumption
is 0.5 µA max when in powerdown.
5. Reference derived from the power supply.
6. No Pipeline Delay
The part features a standard successive-approximation
ADC with accurate control of the conversions via a CS
input.
The reference for the part is taken internally from VDD.
This allows the widest dynamic input range to the ADC.
Thus the analog input range for the part is 0 to VDD. The
conversion rate is determined by the SCLK.

Mark/Space ratio for the SCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40.
3
Measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.8 V or 2.0 V.
4
t8 is derived form the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated back to
remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t8, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish time of the
part and is independent of the bus loading.

AD7466/AD7467/AD7468
TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
For the AD7466/67/68 the endpoints of the transfer
function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB below the first
code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB above the
last code transition.
Differential Nonlinearity
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms
sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7466/
AD7467/AD7468, it is defined as:
2
THD (dB ) = 20 log
2
2
2
2
V2 + V3 + V 4 + V5 + V 6
V1
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1
LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2,
V3, V4, V5 and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second
through the sixth harmonics.
Offset Error
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . .
000) to (00 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e AGND + 1
LSB.
Gain Error
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . .
110) to (111 . . . 111) from the ideal (i.e., VREF – 1LSB)
after the offset error has been adjusted out.
Track/Hold Acquisition Time
The track/hold amplifier returns into track mode at the
end of conversion. Track/Hold acquisition time is the
time required for the output of the track/hold amplifier
to reach its final value, within ±0.5 LSB, after the end
of conversion. See serial interface timing section for
more details.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the output of the A/D converter. The signal is
the rms amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the sum
of all nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling
frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is dependent on
the number of quantization levels in the digitization
process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization
noise. The theoretical signal to (noise + distortion) ratio
for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is
given by:
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of
the rms value of the next largest component in the ADC
output spectrum (up to fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms
value of the fundamental. Normally, the value of this
specification is determined by the largest harmonic in the
spectrum, but for ADCs where the harmonics are buried
in the noise floor, it will be a noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa
and fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create
distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of
mfa ± nfb where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation
distortion terms are those for which neither m nor n are
equal to zero. For example, the second order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), while the third order terms
include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and (fa – 2fb).
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are tested using the CCIF
standard where two input frequencies are used. In this
case, the second order terms are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves while the third order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the second and third order terms are
specified separately. The calculation of the
intermodulation distortion is as per the THD specification
where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the
fundamentals expressed in dBs.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB and for a 10bit converter this is 62dB.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are fast, micro-power, 12/
10/8-bit, A/D converters respectively. The parts can be
operated from a +1.8 V to +3.6 V supply. When operated
from any supply voltage within this range, the AD7466/
AD7467/AD7468 is capable of throughput rates of 100
kSPS when provided with a 2 MHz clock.

The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 provides the user with an
on-chip track/hold, A/D converter, and a serial interface
housed in a tiny 6-pin SOT-23 package, which offers the
user considerable space saving advantages over alternative
solutions. The serial clock input accesses data from the
part but also provides the clock source for the successiveapproximation A/D converter. The analog input range is 0
to VDD. An external reference is not required for the ADC
and neither is there a reference on-chip. The reference for
the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is derived from the power
supply and thus gives the widest dynamic input range.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding of the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is
straight binary. The designed code transitions occur at
successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1LSB, 2LSBs, etc.).
The LSB size is = VDD/4096 for the AD7466,the LSB size
is = VDD/1024 for the AD7467, and the LSB size is =
VDD/256 for the AD7468 . The ideal transfer characteristic
for the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is shown in figure 10
below.
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 also features an automatic
power-down mode option to allow power saving between
conversions. The power-down feature is implemented
across the standard serial interface as described in the
“Modes of Operation” section.

ADC CODE
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter based around a charge
redistribution DAC. Figures 8 and 9 show simplified
schematics of the ADC. Figure 8 shows the ADC during
its acquisition phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is in position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition and
the sampling capacitor acquires the signal on VIN.

When the ADC starts a conversion, see figure 9, SW2 will
open and SW1 will move to position B causing the comparator to become unbalanced. The Control Logic and
the Charge Redistribution DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor
to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition.
When the comparator is rebalanced the conversion is complete. The Control Logic generates the ADC output code.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 11 shows a typical connection diagram for the
AD7466/AD7467/AD7468. V REF is taken internally from
VDD and as such VDD should be well decoupled. This provides an analog input range of 0V to VDD. For the
AD7466 the conversion result is output in a 16-bit word
with four leading zeroes followed by the MSB of the 12bit result. The AD7467 conversion result consists of four
leading zeros followed by the MSB of the 10-bit result.
The AD7468 conversion result consists of four leading
zeros followed by the MSB of the 8-bit result.
Alternatively, because the supply current required by the
AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is so low, a presision reference
can be used as the supply source to the AD7466/AD7467/
AD7468. A REF19x voltage reference (REF193 for 3V,
REF192 for 2.5 V ) can be used to supply the required
voltage to the ADC - see figure 11. This configuration is
especially useful if your power supply is quite noisy or if
the system supply voltages are at some value other than 3V
(e.g. 2.5V). The REF19x will output a steady voltage to
the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468. In applications where
power consumption is important, the automatic power
down mode of the ADC and the sleep mode of the
REF19x reference should be used to improve power performance. See Modes of Operation section of the
datasheet.
Analog Input
Figure 12 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input
sturcture of the AD7466/AD7467/7468. The two diodes
D1 and D2 provide ESD protection for the analog inputs.
Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal
never exceeds the supply rails by more than 200mV. This
will cause these diodes to become forward biased and start
conducting current into the substrate. The capacitor C1 in
figure 12 is typically about 4pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor R1 is a lumped
component made up of the on resistance of a switch. This
resistor is typically about 100Ω. The capacitor C2 is the
ADC sampling capacitor and has a capacitance of 16pF
typically. For ac applications, removing high frequency
components from the analog input signal is recommended
by use of a band-pass filter on the relevant analog input
pin. In applications where harmonic distortion and signal
to noise ratio are critical the analog input should be driven

from a low impedance source. Large source impedances
will significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC.
This may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.
The choice of the op amp will be a function of the particular application.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input the
source impedance should be limited to low values. The
maximum source impedance will depend on the amount of
total harmonic distortion (THD) that can be tolerated.
The THD will increase as the source impedance increases
and performance will degrade. Figure 13 shows a graph of
the Total Harmonic Distortion vs. analog input signal
frequency for different source impedances when using a
supply voltage of 2.7V and sampling at a rate of 100

MODE OF OPERATION
TITLE
0
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 automatically enters
powerdown at the end of each conversion. This mode of
operation is designed to provide flexible power management options and to optimize the power dissipation/
throughput rate ratio for differing application requirements. Figure 14 shows the general diagram of the
operaion of the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468. On the falling
CS edge the part begins to power up and the Track and
Hold, which was in Hold while the part was in power
down, will go into track mode. When operating the part
with a 2.4 MHz clock it will take 2 clock cycles to fully
power up the part and acquire the input signal. On the
third SCLK falling edge after the CS falling edge the
Track and Hold will return to hold mode. For the
AD7466 sixteen serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access the complete conversion
result.On the 16th SCLK falling edge the part will automatically enter power down . The AD7467 will automatically enter powerdown on the fourteenth SCLK falling
edge. The AD7468 will automatically enter powerdown
on the twelveth SCLK falling edge. When supplies are
first applied to the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 a dummy
conversion should be performed to ensure that the part is
in powerdown mode.

Digital Inputs
The digital inputs applied to the AD7466/AD7467/
AD7468 are not limited by the maximum ratings which
limit the analog inputs. One advantage of SCLK and CS
not being restricted by the VDD + 0.3V limit is the fact that
power supply sequencing issues are avoided. If CS or
SCLK are applied before VDD then there is no risk of
latch-up as there would be on the analog inputs if a signal
greater than 0.3V was applied prior to VDD.
The conversion is iniated on the falling edge of CS as
described in the Serial Interface section. For the AD7466
if CS is brought high any time before the 16th SCLK
falling edge the part will enter power down and the conversion that was initiated by the falling edge of CS will be
terminated and SDATA will go back into tri-state. This
also applies for the AD7467/AD7468, if CS is brought
high before the conversion is complete (the 14th SCLK
falling edge for the AD7467, and the 12th SCLK falling
edge for the AD7468) the part will enter powerdown and
the conversion will be terminated.
Once a data transfer is complete (SDATA has returned to
tri-state), another conversion can be initiated after the
quiet time, tquiet, has elapsed by bringing CS low again.

terminated and the SDATA line will go back into tri-state
and the AD7467 will enter powerdown, otherwise SDATA
returns to tri-state on the 14th SCLK falling edge as
ahown in figure 16. Fourteen serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion process and to access
data from the AD7467.
SERIAL INTERFACE
Figure 15, 16, 17 show the detailed timing diagram for
serial interfacing to the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468.The
serial clock provides the conversion clock and also controls the transfer of information from the ADC during a
conversion.
On the CS falling edge the part begins to power up. The
falling edge of CS puts the track and hold into track mode
and takes the bus out of tristate. The conversion is also
initiated at this point and will require 16 SCLK cycles to
complete. On the third SCLK falling edge the part should
be fully powered up, as shown in figure 15 at point B. On
the third SCLK falling edge after the CS falling edge the
track and hold will return to hold. On the 16th SCLK
falling edge the SDATA line will go back into tristate and
the AD7466 will enter power down. If the rising edge of
CS occurs before 16 SCLKs have elapsed then the conversion will be terminated and the SDATA line will go back
into tri-state and the part will enter power down, otherwise
SDATA returns to tri-state on the 16th SCLK falling
edge as shown in Figure 15. Sixteen serial clock cycles
are required to perform the conversion process and to
access data from the AD7466.
For the AD7468, the 12th SCLK falling edge will cause
the SDATA line to go back into tri-state and the part will
enter powerdown. If the rising edge of CS occurs before
12 SCLKs have elapsed then the conversion will be terminated and the SDATA line will go back into tri-state and
the AD7468 will enter powerdown, otherwise SDATA
returns to tri-state on the 12th SCLK falling edge as
ahown in figure 17. Twelve serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion process and to access
data from the AD7468.
CS going low provides the first leading zero to be read in
by the microcontroller or DSP. The remaining data is
then clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling edges beginning with the 2nd leading zero, thus the first falling
clock edge on the serial clock has the first leading zero
provided and also clocks out the second leading zero. For
the Ad7466 the final bit in the data transfer is valid on the
sixteenth falling edge, having being clocked out on the
previous (15th) falling edge.
For the AD7467, the fourteenth SCLK falling edge will
cause the SDATA line to go back into tri-state and the
part will enter powerdown. If the rising edge of CS occurs
before 14 SCLKs have elapsed then the conversion will be

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The serial interface on the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468
allows the part to be directly connected to a range of many
different microprocessors. This section explains how to
interface the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 with some of the
more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface
protocols.
AD7466/7/8 to TMS320C5xC54x
The serial interface on the TMS320C5x uses a continuous
serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize the data transfer operations with peripheral devices
like the AD7466/67/68. The CS input allows easy interfacing between the TMS320C5x and the AD7466/67/68
without any glue logic required. The serial port of the
TMS320C5x/C54x is set up to operate in burst mode
with internal CLKX (TX serial clock) and FSX (TX
frame sync). The serial port control register (SPC) must
have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM = 1
and TXM = 1. The format bit, FO, may be set to 1 to set
the word length to 8-bits, in order to implement the
power-down mode on the AD7466/67/68.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 18. It should
be noted that for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronisation signal from the
TMS320C5x/C54x will provide equidistant sampling.

SCLK
TMS320C5x/C54x*
CLKX
equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example, the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling
rate of the ADC and under certain conditions, equidistant
sampling may not be acheived.
The Timer registers etc. are loaded with a value
which will provide an interrupt at the required sample
interval. When an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control word). The TFS is
used to control the RFS and hence the reading of data.
The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV
register. When the instrustion to transmit with TFS is
given, (i.e. AX0=TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked.
The DSP will wait until the SCLK has gone High, Low
and High before transmission will start. If the timer and
SCLK values are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising edge of SCLK, then the
data may be transmitted or it may wait until the next clock
edge.
For example, the ADSP2111 has a master clock frequency
of 16MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the
value 3 then a SCLK of 2MHz is obtained, and 8 master
clock periods will elapse for every 1 SCLK period. If the
timer registers are loaded with the value 803, then 100.5
SCLKs will occur between interrupts and subsequently
between transmit instructions. This situation will result in
non-equidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is
occuring on a SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer figure of N then equidistant sampling will be implemented by the DSP.

AD7466/7/8 to ADSP21xx
The ADSP21xx family of DSPs are interfaced directly to
the AD7466/67/68 without any glue logic required. The
SPORT control register should be set up as follows:
TFSW = RFSW = 1, Alternate Framing
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, Active Low Frame Signal
DTYPE = 00, Right Justify Data
SLEN = 1111, 16-Bit Data words
ISCLK = 1, Internal serial clock
TFSR = RFSR = 1, Frame every word
IRFS = 0,
ITFS = 1.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 19. The
ADSP21xx has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied
together, with TFS set as an output and RFS set as an
input. The DSP operates in Alternate Framing Mode and
the SPORT control register is set up as described. The
Frame synchronisation signal generated on the TFS is
tied to CS and as with all signal processing applications

The connection diagram in figure 20 shows how the
AD7466/67/68 can be connected to the SSI (Synchronous
Serial Interface) of the DSP56xxx family of DSPs from
Motorola. The SSI is operated in Synchronous Mode
(SYN bit in CRB =1) with internally generated 1-bit
clock period frame sync for both TX and RX (bits FSL1
=1 and FSL0 =0 in CRB). Set the word length to 16 by
setting bits WL1 =1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. It should be
noted that for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronisation signal from the
DSP56xxx will provide equidistant sampling.
