NSC ADC10731

ADC10731/ADC10732/ADC10734/ADC10738
10-Bit Plus Sign Serial I/O A/D Converters with Mux,
Sample/Hold and Reference
General Description
This series of CMOS 10-bit plus sign successive approximation A/D converters features versatile analog input multiplexers, sample/hold and a 2.5V band-gap reference. The 1-, 2-,
4-, or 8-channel multiplexers can be software configured for
single-ended or differential mode of operation.
An input sample/hold is implemented by a capacitive reference ladder and sampled-data comparator. This allows the
analog input to vary during the A/D conversion cycle.
In the differential mode, valid outputs are obtained even
when the negative inputs are greater than the positive because of the 10-bit plus sign output data format.
The serial I/O is configured to comply with the NSC MICROWIRE™ serial data exchange standard for easy interface to the COPS™ and HPC™ families of controllers, and
can easily interface with standard shift registers and microprocessors.

Pin Descriptions
CLK

SARS
VREF−
The clock applied to this input controls the successive approximation conversion time interval,
the acquisition time and the rate at which the serial data exchange occurs. The rising edge loads
the information on the DI pin into the multiplexer
address shift register. This address controls
which channel of the analog input multiplexer
(MUX) is selected. The falling edge shifts the
data resulting from the A/D conversion out on
DO. CS enables or disables the above functions.
The clock frequency applied to this input can be
between 5 kHz and 3 MHz.
This is the serial data input pin. The data applied
to this pln is shifted by CLK into the multiplexer
address register. Tables 1, 2, 3 show the multiplexer address assignment.
The data output pin. The A/D conversion result
(DB0-SIGN) are clocked out by the failing edge
of CLK on this pin.
AV+, DV+
DGND
AGND
The negative voltage reference input. In order to
maintain accuracy, the voltage at this pin must
not go below GND − 50 mV or exceed AV+
+ 50 mV.
These are the analog and digital power supply
pins. These pins should be tied to the same
power supply and bypassed separately. The operating voltage range of AV+ and DV+ is 4.5 VDC
to 5.5 VDC.
This is the digital ground pin.
This is the analog ground pin.
This is the chip select input pin. When a logic low
is applied to this pin, the rising edge of CLK
shifts the data on DI into the address register.
This low also brings DO out of TRI-STATE after
a conversion has been completed.
This is the power down input pin. When a logic
high is applied to this pin the A/D is powered
down. When a low is applied the A/D is powered
up.
This is the successive approximation register
status output pin. When CS is high this pin is in
TRI-STATE. With CS low this pin is active high
when a conversion is in progress and active low
at all other times.
CH0–CH7 These are the analog inputs of the MUX. A channel input is selected by the address information
at the DI pin, which is loaded on the rising edge
of CLK into the address register (see Tables 1, 2,
3).
The voltage applied to these inputs should not
exceed AV+ or go below GND by more than
50 mV. Exceeding this range on an unselected
channel will corrupt the reading of a selected
channel.
COM
This pin is another analog input pln. It can be
used as a “pseudo ground” when the analog
multiplexer is single-ended.
VREF+
This is the positive analog voltage reference input. In order to malntaln accuracy, the voltage
range VREF (VREF = VREF+–VREF−) is 0.5 VDCto
5.0 VDC and the voltage at VREF+ cannot exceed
AV+ +50 mV.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Note 2: Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifcations 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 < GND or VIN > AV+ or DV+), the current at that pln should be limited to 30 mA.
The 120 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 30 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 Paris when board mounted can be found in the following table:

Note 6: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin.
Note 7: See AN-450 “Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability” or the section titied “Surtace Mount” found in any post 1986 National Semiconductor Linear Data Book for other methods of soldering surtace mount devices.
Note 8: Two on-ohip diodes are tied to each analog input as shown below. They will forward-conduct for analog input voltages one diode drop below ground 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 In the conversion result. 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 oorrect. Exceeding this range on an unselected channel will corrupt
the reading of a selected channel. If AV+ and DV+ are minimum (4.5 VDC) and full scale must be ≤+4.55 VDC.
DS011390-6
Note 9: No connection exists between AV+ and DV+ on the chip.
To guarantee accuracy, it is required that the AV+ and DV+ be connected together to a power supply with separate bypass filter at eacn V+ pin.
Note 10: One LSB is referenced to 10 bits of resolution.
Note 11: Typicals are at TJ = TA = 25˚C and represent most likely pararmetric norm.
Note 12: Tested limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgolng Quality Level).
Note 13: Total unadjusted error includes offset, full-scale, linearity, multiplexer, and hold step errors.
Note 14: The DC common-mode error is measured in the differential multiplexer mode with the assigned positive and negative input channels shorted together.
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. TRl-STATE voltage level is forced
to 1.4V.
Note 17: The voltage applied to the digital inputs will affect the current drain during power down. These devices are tested with CMOS logic levels (logic Low = 0V
and logic High = 5V). TTL levels increase the current, during power down, to about 300 µA.

Power Down (All Channels Disconnected)
CMOS logic levels will give the least amount of current drain
(3 µA). TTL logic levels will increase the total current drain to
200 µA.
These devices have resistive reference ladders which draw
600 µA with a 2.5V reference voltage. The internal band gap
reference voltage shuts down when power down is activated. If an external reference voltage is used, it will have to
be shut down to minimize the total current drain of the device.
Applications Hints
The ADC10731/2/4/8 use successive approximation to digitize an analog input voltage. The DAC portion of the A/D converters uses a capacitive array and a resistive ladder structure. The structure of the DAC allows a very simple switching
scheme to provide a versatile analog input multiplexer. This
structure also provides a sample/hold. The ADC10731/2/4/8
have a 2.5V CMOS bandgap reference. The serial digital I/O
interfaces to MICROWIRE and MICROWIRE+.
2.0 ARCHITECTURE
Before a conversion is started, during the analog input sampling period, (tA), 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.
(The assignment procedure is explained in the Pin Descriptions section.) This charges the input 32C capacitor of the
DAC to the positive analog input voltage. The switches
shown in the DAC portion of Figure 12 are set for this
zeroing/acquisition period. The voltage at the input and output of the comparator are at equilibrium at this 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
the digital output. This data is then available to be shifted on
the DO pin.
1.0 DIGITAL INTERFACE
There are two modes of operation. The fastest throughput
rate is obtained when CS is kept low during a conversion.
The timing diagrams in Figures 8, 9 show the operation of
the devices in this mode. CS must be taken high for at least
tCS(H) (1 CLK) between conversions. This is necessary to reset the internal logic. Figures 10, 11 show the operation of
the devices when CS is taken high while the ADC10731/2/
4/8 is converting. CS may be taken high during the conversion and kept high indefinitely to delay the output data. This
mode simplifies the interface to other devices while the
ADC10731/2/4/8 is busy converting.
1.1 Getting Started with a Conversion
The ADC10731/2/4/8 need to be initialized after the power
supply voltage is applied. If CS is low when the supply voltage is applied then CS needs to be taken high for at least
tCS(H)(1 clock period). The data output after the first conversion is not valid.
1.2 Software and Hardware Power Up/Down
These devices have the capability of software or hardware
power down. Figures 6, 7 show the timing diagrams for hardware and software power up/down. In the case of hardware
power down note that CS needs to be high for tPC after PD
is taken low. When PD is high the device is powered down.
The total quiescent current, when powered down, is typically
200 µA with the clock at 2.5 MHz and 3 µA with the clock off.
The actual voltage level applied to a digital input will effect
the power consumption of the device during power down.

.
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.
In a ratiometric system (Figure 14), 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 stability 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.
For absolute accuracy (Figure 15), 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,
LM4041 and LM185 references are suitable for use with the
ADC10731/2/4/8.
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/
1024).
3.0 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
3.1 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.
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 13 illustrates the
three modes using the 4-channel MUX of the ADC10734.
The eight inputs of the ADC10738 can also be configured in
any of the three modes. The single-ended mode has
CH0–CH3 assigned as the positive input with COM serving
as the negative input. In the differential mode, the
ADC10734 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–CH3 are positive inputs referred to COM 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 GND to 50 mV above V+ = DV+ = AV+ without
degrading conversion accuracy. If the voltage on an unselected channel exceeds these limits it may corrupt the reading of the selected channel.
3.3 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 canceled. For the ADC10731/2/4/8,
the positive input of a selected channel pair is only sampled
once before the start of a conversion during 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 canceled and will cause some conversion errors. For a sinusoid common-mode signal this error is:
VERROR(max) = VPEAK (2 π fCM) (tC)
3.2 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 1023 positive and
1024 negative possible output codes apply.
The value of the voltage on the VREF+ or VREF− inputs can be
anywhere between AV+ + 50 mV and −50 mV, so long as
VREF+ is greater than VREF−. The ADC10731/2/4/8 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 5 kΩ.
The internal 2.5V bandgap reference in the ADC10731/2/4/8
is available as an output on the VREFOut pin. To ensure optimum performance this output needs to be bypassed to
ground with 100 µF aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor. The reference output can be unstable with capacitive
loads greater than 100 pF and less than 100 µF. Any capacitive loading less than 100 pF and greater than 100 µF will not
cause oscillation. Lower output noise can be obtained by increasing the output capacitance. A 100 µF capacitor will yield
a typical noise floor of
where fCM is the frequency of the common-mode signal,
VPEAK is its peak voltage value, and tC is the A/D’s conversion time (tC = 12/fCLK). For example, for a 60 Hz
common-mode signal to generate a 1⁄4 LSB error (0.61 mV)
with a 4.8 µs conversion time, its peak value would have to
be approximately 337 mV.

3.4 Optional Adjustments
3.4.1 Zero Error
The zero error of the A/D converter relates to the location of
the first riser of the transfer function (see Figures 1, 2) and
can be measured by grounding the minus input and applying
a small magnitude voltage to the plus input. Zero error is the
difference between actual DC input voltage which is necessary to just cause an output digital code transition from 000
0000 0000 to 000 0000 0001 and the ideal 1⁄2 LSB value (1⁄2
LSB = 1.22 mV for VREF = + 2.500V).
The zero error of the A/D does not require adjustment. If the
minimum analog input voltage value, VIN(Min), is not ground,
the effective “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.
where VMAX equals the high end of the analog input range,
VMIN equals the low end (the offset zero) of the analog
range. Both VMAX and VMIN are ground referred. The VREF
(VREF = VREF+ − VREF−) voltage is then adjusted to provide
a code change from 011 1111 1110 to 011 1111 1111. Note,
when using a pseudo-differential or differential multiplexer
mode where VREF+ and VREF− are placed within the V+ and
GND 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.
3.5 The Input Sample and Hold
The ADC10731/2/4/8’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 sampling period for the assigned positive
input is maintained for the duration of the acquisition time (tA)
4.5 clock cycles.
3.4.2 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.
This acquisition window of 4.5 clock cycles is available to allow the voltage on the capacitor array to settle to the positive
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 (3 kΩ) of the multiplexer switches, the
stray input capacitance CS1 (3.5 pF) and the total array (CL)
and stray (CS2) capacitance (48 pF). For a large source resistance the analog input can be modeled as an RC network
as shown in Figure 16. The values shown yield an acquisition time of about 1.1 µs for 10-bit unipolar or 10-bit plus sign
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.
3.4.3 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 is applied to
selected plus input and the zero reference voltage at the corresponding minus input should then be adjusted to just obtain the 000 0000 0000 to 000 0000 0001 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:

Applications Hints
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 ideal 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 + distortion) ratio of about 68 dB,
which can be derived from the equation:
S/(N + D) = 6.02(n) + 1.76
where S/(N + D) is in dB and n is the number of bits.
