The AD7868 is a complete 12-bit I/O system containing a DAC
and an ADC . The ADC is a successive approximation type
with a track-and-hold amplifier having a combined throughput
rate of 83 kHz. The DAC has an output buffer amplifier with a
settling time of 3 µs to 12 bits. Temperature compensated 3 V
buried Zener references provide precision references for the
DAC and ADC.
Interfacing to both the DAC and ADC is serial, minimizing pin
count and giving a small 24-pin package size. Standard control
signals allow serial interfacing to most DSP machines. Asynchronous ADC conversion control and DAC updating is made
possible with the CONVST and LDAC logic inputs.
The AD7868 operates from ± 5 V power supplies, the analog input/output range of the ADC/DAC is ± 3 V. The part is fully
specified for dynamic parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio
and harmonic distortion as well as traditional dc specifications.

NOTES
1
Timing specifications are sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of 5 V) and timed from a
voltage level of 1.6 V.
2
Serial timing is measured with a 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor on DR and RFS and a 2 kΩ pull-up resistor on RCLK . The capacitance on all three output is 35 pF.
3
When using internal clock, RCLK mark/space ratio (measured from a voltage level of 1.6 V) range is 40/60 to 60/40. For external clock, RCLK mark/space ratio =
external clock mark/space ratio.
4
DR will drive higher capacitance loads but this will add to t 5 since it increases the external RC time constant (4.7 kΩ/CL) and hence the time to reach 2.4 V.
5
Time 2 RCLK to 3 RCLK depends on conversion start to ADC clock synchronization.
6
TCLK mark/space ratio is 40/60 to 60/40.

this reference is 500 µA.
11
RO DAC
DAC Voltage Reference Output. This is one of two internal voltage references. To operate the DAC
with this internal reference, RO DAC should be connected to RI DAC. The external load capability of
the reference is 500 µA.
12
RI DAC
DAC Voltage Reference Input. The voltage reference for the DAC must be applied to this pin. It is
internally buffered before being applied to the DAC. The nominal reference voltage for correct
operation of the AD7868 is 3 V.
ADC INTERFACE AND CONTROL

CLK
Clock Input. An external TTL-compatible clock may be applied to this input. Alternatively, tying pin to
VSS enables the internal laser-trimmed oscillator.
RFS
Receive Frame Synchronization, Logic Output. This is an active low open-drain output which provides
3
a framing pulse for serial data. An external 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor is required on RFS.
4
RCLK
Receive Clock, Logic Output. RCLK is the gated serial clock output which is derived from the internal
or external ADC clock. If the CONTROL input is at VSS the clock runs continuously. With the
CONTROL input at DGND the RCLK output is gated off (three-stated) after serial transmission is
complete. RCLK is an open-drain output and requires an external 2 kΩ pull-up resistor.
5
DR
Receive Data, Logic Output. This is an open-drain data output used in conjunction with RFS and
RCLK to transmit data from the ADC. Serial data is valid on the falling edge of RCLK when RFS is
low. An external 4.7 kΩ resistor is required on the DR output.

AD7868
CONVERTER DETAILS
The AD7868 is a complete 12-bit I/O port, the only external
components required for normal operation are pull-up resistors
for the ADC data outputs and power supply decoupling capacitors. It is comprised of a 12-bit successive approximation ADC
with a track/hold amplifier, a 12-bit DAC with a buffered output
and two 3 V buried Zener references, a clock oscillator and control logic.
ADC CLOCK
The AD7868 has an internal clock oscillator which can be used
for the ADC conversion procedure. The oscillator is enabled by
tying the CLK input to VSS. The oscillator in laser trimmed at
the factory to give a conversion time of between 8.5 and 10 µs.
The mark/space ratio can vary from 40/60 to 60/40. Alternatively, an external TTL compatible clock may be applied to this
input. The allowable mark/space ratio of an external clock is
40/60 to 60/40. RCLK is a clock output, used for the serial interface. This output is derived directly from the ADC clock
source and can be switched off at the end of conversion with the
CONTROL input.
The conversion time for both external clock and continuous internal clock can vary from 19 to 20 rising clock edges depending
on the conversion start to ADC clock synchronization. If a conversion is initiated within 30 ns prior to a rising edge of the ADC
clock, the conversion time will consist of 20 rising clock edges,
i.e., 9.5 µs conversion time. For noncontinuous internal clock,
the conversion time is always 19 rising clock edges.
ADC TRACK-AND-HOLD AMPLIFIER
The track-and-hold amplifier on the analog input of the AD7868
allows the ADC to accurately convert an input sine wave of 6 V
peak–peak amplitude to 12-bit accuracy. The input impedance is
typically 9 kΩ, an equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 1. The
input bandwidth of the track/hold amplifier is much greater than
the Nyquist rate of the ADC, even when the ADC is operated at
its maximum throughput rate. The 0.1 dB cutoff frequency occurs typically at 500 kHz. The track/hold amplifier acquires an
input signal to 12-bit accuracy in less than 2 µs.
4.5kΩ
The AD7868 has two on-chip temperature compensated buried
Zener references which are factory trimmed to 3 V ± 10 mV.
One reference provides the appropriate biasing for the ADC,
while the other is available as a reference of the DAC. Both reference outputs are available (labeled RO DAC and RO ADC)
and are capable of providing up to 500 µA to an external load.
The maximum recommended capacitance on either of the reference output pins for normal operation is 50 pF. If either of the
reference outputs is required to drive a capacitive load greater
than 50 pF, then a 200 Ω resistor must be placed in series with
the capacitive load. The addition of decoupling capacitors,
10 µF in parallel with 0.1 µF, as shown in Figure 2, improves
noise performance. The improvement in noise performance can
be seen from the graph in Figure 3. Note, this applies for the
DAC output only; reference decoupling components do not affect ADC performance. So, a typical application will have just
the DAC reference source decoupled with the other one open
circuited.

The operation of the track/hold amplifier is essentially transparent to the user. The track/hold amplifier goes from its track
mode to its hold mode at the start of conversion on the rising
edge of CONVST.
The output from the voltage-mode DAC is buffered by a noninverting amplifier. The buffer amplifier is capable of developing
± 3 V across 2 kΩ and 100 pF load to ground and can produce
6 V peak-to-peak sine wave signals to a frequency of 20 kHz.
The output is updated on the falling edge of the LDAC input.
The output voltage settling time, to within 1/2 LSB of its final
value, is typically less than 2 µs.

TIMING AND CONTROL
serial clock which runs continuously. Both options are available
on the AD7868 ADC. With the CONTROL input at 0 V, RCLK
is noncontinuous and when it is at –5 V, RCLK is continuous.
Communication with the AD7868 is managed by 6 dedicated
pins. These consist of separate serial clocks, word framing or
strobe pulses and data signals for both receiving and transmitting data. Conversion starts and DAC updating are controlled
by two digital inputs; CONVST and LDAC. These inputs can
be asserted independently of the microprocessor by an external
timer when precise sampling intervals are required. Alternatively, the LDAC and CONVST can be driven from a decoded
address bus allowing the microprocessor control over conversion
start and DAC updating as well as data communication to the
AD7868.
DAC Timing
The AD7868 DAC contains two latches, an input latch and a
DAC latch. Data must be loaded to the input latch under the
control of the TCLK, TFS and DT serial logic inputs. Data is
then transferred from the input latch to the DAC latch under
the control of the LDAC signal. Only the data in the DAC latch
determines the analog output of the AD7868.
Data is loaded to the input latch under control of TCLK, TFS
and DT. The AD7868 DAC expects a 16-bit stream of serial
data on its DT input. Data must be valid on the falling edge of
TCLK. The TFS input provides the frame synchronization signal which tells the AD7868 DAC that valid serial data will be
available for the next 16 falling edges of TCLK. Figure 8 shows
the timing diagram for the serial data format.
ADC Timing
Conversion control is provided by the CONVST input. A low to
high transition on CONVST input starts conversion and drives
the track/hold amplifier into its hold mode. Serial data then becomes available while conversion is in progress. The corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 7. The word length is 16
bits; 4 leading zeros, followed by the 12-bit conversion result
starting with the MSB. The data is synchronized to the serial
clock output (RCLK) and is framed by the serial strobe (RFS).
Data is clocked out on a low to high transition of the serial clock
and is valid on the falling edge of this clock while the RFS output is low. RFS goes low at the start of conversion and the first
serial data bit (which is the first leading zero) is valid on the first
falling edge of RCLK. All the ADC serial lines are open-drain
outputs and require external pull-up resistors.
Although 16 bits of data are clocked into the input latch, only
12 bits are transferred into the DAC latch. Therefore, 4 bits in
the stream are don’t cares since their value does not affect the
DAC latch data. The bit positions are 4 don’t cares followed by
the 12-bit DAC data starting with the MSB.
The LDAC signal controls the transfer of data to the DAC
latch. Normally, data is loaded to the DAC latch on the falling
edge of LDAC. However, if LDAC is held low, then serial data
is loaded to the DAC latch on the sixteenth falling edge of
TCLK. If LDAC goes low during the loading of serial data to
the input latch, no DAC latch update takes place on the falling
edge of LDAC. If LDAC stays low until the serial transfer is
completed, then the update takes place on the sixteenth falling
edge of TCLK. If LDAC returns high before the serial data
transfer is completed, no DAC latch update takes place.
The serial clock out is derived from the ADC master clock
source which may be internal or external. Normally, RCLK is
required during the serial transmission only. In these cases it can
be shut down (i.e., placed into high impedance) at the end of
conversion to allow multiple ADCs to share a common serial
bus. However, some serial systems (e.g., TMS32020) require a

AD7868 DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS
The AD7868 is specified and 100% tested for dynamic performance specifications as well as traditional dc specifications such
as integral and differential nonlinearity. These ac specifications
are required for signal processing applications such as speech
recognition, spectrum analysis, and high-speed modems. These
applications require information on the converter’s effect on the
spectral content of the input signal. Hence, the parameters for
which the AD7868 is specified include SNR, harmonic distortion and peak harmonics. These terms are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
Figure 10 shows a typical plot of effective number of bits versus
frequency for an AD7868BQ with a sampling frequency of
83 kHz. The effective number of bits typically falls between 11.7
and 11.85 corresponding to SNR figures of 72.2 and 73.1 dB.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the measured signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the
ADC or DAC. The signal is the rms magnitude of the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all the nonfundamental signals
up to half the sampling frequency (fs/2) excluding dc. SNR is
dependent upon the number of levels used in the quantization
process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The
theoretical signal-to-noise ratio for a sine wave input is given by
SNR = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
(1)
where N is the number of bits. Thus for an ideal 12-bit converter, SNR = 74 dB.

EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS
The formula given in Equation 1 relates the SNR to the number
of bits. Rewriting the formula, as in Equation 2, it is possible to
get a measure of performance expressed in effective number of
bits (N).

The effective number of bits for a device can be calculated directly from its measured SNR.

SAMPLE FREQUENCY = 83 kHz

Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to
the fundamental. For the AD7868, total harmonic distortion
(THD) is defined as

THD = 20 log

where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3,
V4, V5 and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through to
the sixth harmonic. The THD is also derived from the FFT plot
of the ADC or DAC output spectrum.
ADC Testing
The output spectrum from the ADC is evaluated by applying a
sine-wave signal of very low distortion to the VIN input which is
sampled at an 83 kHz sampling rate. A Fast Fourier Transform
(FFT) plot is generated from which the SNR data can be obtained. Figure 9 shows a typical 2048 point FFT plot of the
AD7868BQ ADC with an input signal of 10 kHz and a sampling frequency of 83 kHz. The SNR obtained from this graph
is 73 dB. It should be noted that the harmonics are taken into
account when calculating the SNR.

DAC Testing
A simplified diagram of the method used to test the dynamic
performance specifications of the DAC is outlined in Figure 11.
Data is loaded to the DAC under control of the microcontroller
and associated logic. The output of the DAC is applied to a 9th
order low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency corresponds to the
Nyquist limit. The output of the filter is in turn applied to a
16-bit accurate digitizer. This digitizes the signal and the microcontroller generates an FFT plot from which the dynamic performance of the DAC can be evaluated.

The digitizer sampling is synchronized with the DAC update
rate to ease FFT calculations. The digitizer samples the DAC
output after the output has settled to its new value. Therefore, if
the digitizer were to sample the output directly it would effectively be sampling a dc value each time. As a result, the dynamic
performance of the DAC would not be measured correctly. Using the digitizer directly on the DAC output would give better
results than the actual performance of the DAC. Using a filter
between the DAC and the digitizer means that the digitizer
samples a continuously moving signal and the true dynamic performance of the AD7868 DAC output is measured.

Some applications will require improved performance versus frequency from the AD7868 DAC. In these applications, a simple
sample-and-hold circuit such as that outlined in Figure 13 will
extend the very good performance of the DAC to 20 kHz. Other
applications will already have an inherent sample-and-hold
function following the AD7868 DAC output. An example of
this type of application is driving a switched-capacitor filter
where the updating of the DAC is synchronized with the
switched-capacitor filter. This inherent sample-and-hold
function also extends the frequency range performance.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD7868 is via a serial bus that
uses standard protocol compatible with DSP machines. The
communication interface consists of separate transmit (DAC)
and receive (ADC) sections whose operations can be either synchronous or asynchronous with respect to each other. Each section has a clock signal, a data signal and a frame or strobe pulse.
Synchronous operation means that data is transmitted from the
ADC and to the DAC at the same time. In this mode only one
interface clock is needed and this has to be the ADC clock out,
so RCLK must be connected to TCLK. For asynchronous operation, DAC and ADC data transfers are independent of each
other, the ADC provides the receive clock (RCLK) while the
transmit clock (TCLK) may be provided by the processor or the
ADC or some other external clock source.
DSP56000 internal serial control registers have to be configured
for a 16-bit data word with valid data on the first falling clock
edge. Conversion starts and DAC updating are controlled by an
external timer. Data transfers, which occur during ADC conversions, are between the processor receive and transmit shift registers and the AD7868’s ADC and DAC. At the end of each
16-bit transfer the DSP56000 receives an internal interrupt indicating the transmit register is empty and the receive register is
full.
TIMER
CONTROL
Another option to be considered with serial interfacing is the use
of a gated clock. A gated clock means that the device that is
sending the data switches on the clock when data is ready to be
transmitted and three states the clock output when transmission
is complete. Only 16 clock pulses are transmitted with the first
data bit getting latched into the receiving device on the first falling clock edge. Ideally, there is no need for frame pulses, however, the AD7868 DAC frame input (TFS) has to be driven
high between data transmissions. The easiest method is to use
RFS to drive TFS and use only synchronous interfacing. This
avoids the use of interconnects between the processor and
AD7868 frame signals. Not all processors have a gated clock
facility, Figure 16 shows an example with the DSP56000.
Table I below shows the number of interconnect lines between
the processor and the AD7868 for the different interfacing options. The AD7868 has the facility to use different clocks for
transmitting and receiving data. This option, however, only exists on some processors and normally just one clock (ADC
clock) is used for all communication with the AD7868. For simplicity, all the interface examples in this data sheet use synchronous interfacing and use the ADC clock (RCLK) as an input for
the DAC clock (TCLK). For a better understanding of each of
these interfaces, consult the relevant processor data sheet.

goes low. Alternatively LDAC may be driven from a timer as
shown in Figure 16. As with the previous interface the processor

NOISE
Keep the input signal leads to VIN and signal return leads from
AGND as short as possible to minimize input noise coupling. In
applications where this is not possible, use a shielded cable between the source and the ADC. Reduce the ground circuit impedance as much as possible since any potential difference in

error voltage in series with the input signal.

APPLICATION HINTS
Good printed circuit board (PCB) layout is as important as the
circuit design itself in achieving high speed A/D performance.
The AD7868’s comparator is required to make bit decisions on
an LSB size of 1.465 mV. To achieve this, the designer has to
be conscious of noise both in the ADC itself and in the preceding analog circuitry. Switching mode power supplies are not recommended as the switching spikes will feed through to the
comparator causing noisy code transitions. Other causes of concern are ground loops and digital feedthrough from microprocessors. These are factors which influence any ADC, and a
proper PCB layout which minimizes these effects is essential for
best performance.
LAYOUT HINTS
Ensure that the layout for the printed circuit board has the digital and analog signal lines separated as much as possible. Take
care not to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track.
Guard (screen) the analog input with AGND.
Establish a single point analog ground (star ground) separate
from the logic system ground as close as possible to the AD7868
AGND pins. Connect all other grounds and the AD7868
DGND to this single analog ground point. Do not connect any
other digital grounds to this analog ground point.
Low impedance analog and digital power supply common returns are essential to low noise operation of the ADC, so make
the foil width for these tracks as wide as possible. The use of
ground planes minimizes impedance paths and also guards the
The board contains a SHA circuit which can be used on the
output of the AD7868 DAC to extend the very good performance of the part over a wider frequency range. The increased
performance from the SHA can be seen in Figures 14 and 15 of
this data sheet. A wire link (labeled LK3) connects the board
output to either the SHA output or directly to the AD7868
DAC output.
There are three LDAC link options on the board; LDAC can be
driven from an external source independent of CONVST,
LDAC can be tied to CONVST or LDAC can be tied to GND.
Choosing the latter option of tying LDAC to GND disables the
SHA operation, and places the SHA permanently in the track
mode.
Microprocessor connections to the board are made by a 9-way
D-type connector. The pinout is shown in Figure 20. The
ADC’s digital outputs are buffered with 74HC4050s. These
buffers provide a higher current output capability for high
capacitance loads or cables. Normally, these buffers are not
required as the AD7868 will be sitting on the same board as the
processor.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
The PCB requires two analog power supplies and one 5 V digital supply. Connections to the analog supply are made directly
to the PCB as shown on the silkscreen in Figure 21. The connections are labeled V+ and V– and the range for both of these
supplies is 12 V to 15 V. Connections to the 5 V digital supply
are made through the D-type connector SKT6. The ± 5 V analog supply required by the AD7868 are generated from two voltage regulators on the V+ and V– supplies.

LK5, ADC Internal Clock Selection
This link configures the ADC for continuous or noncontinuous
internal clock operation.
LK6, DAC Updating
The DAC, LDAC input may asserted independently of the
ADC CONVST signal or it may be tied to CONVST or it may
tied to GND.
LK7, ADC Clock Source
This link provides the option for the ADC to use its own internal clock oscillator or an external TTL compatible clock.
LK8 Frame Synchronous Option
LK8 provides the option of tying the ADC RFS output to the
DAC TFS input.
LK9 Transmit/Receive Clock Option
LK9 provides the option to connect the ADC RCLK to the
DAC TCLK.
