The conversion process is a proprietary algorithmic successive-approximation technique which results in no
pipeline delays. The input signal is sampled and a conversion is initiated on the falling edge of the CONVST
signal. The conversion process is controlled via an internally trimmed oscillator. Interfacing is via standard
parallel signal lines making the part directly compatible
with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The AD7484 provides excellent ac and dc performance
specifications. Factory trimming ensures high dc accuracy
resulting in very low INL, offset and gain errors.
The part uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. Power
consumption in normal mode of operation is 90mW.
There are two power-saving modes: a NAP mode, which
keeps the reference circuitry alive for a quick power up
while consuming 5mW and a STANDBY mode which
reduces power consumption to a mere 5µW.

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The AD7484 features an on-board +2.5V reference but
the part can also accomodate an externally-provided
+2.5V reference source. The nominal analog input range
is 0 to +2.5V but an offset shift capability allows this
nominal range to be offset by +/-200mV. This allows the
user considerable flexibility in setting the bottom end
reference point of the signal range, a useful feature when
using single-supply op-amps.
The AD7484 also provides the user with an 8% overrange
capability via a 15th bit. Thus, if the analog input range
strays outside the nominal by up to 8%, the user can still
accurately resolve the signal by using the 15th bit.
The AD7484 is powered from a +4.75V to +5.25V supply. The part also provides a VDRIVE pin which allows the
user to set the voltage levels for the digital interface lines.
The range for this VDRIVE pin is from +2.7V to +5.25V.
The part is housed in a 48-pin LQFP package and is
specified over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Reference Input. A 1µF capacitor must be placed between this pin and AGND. When using an external
voltage reference source, the reference voltage should be applied to this pin.
Reference decoupling pin. When using the internal reference, a 100nF must be connected from this pin
to AGND. When using an external reference source, this pin should be connected directly to AGND.

Ground reference for digital circuitry.
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin will determine at what voltage
the interface logic of the AD7484 will operate.
Convert Start Logic Input. A conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CONVST signal. The input
track/hold amplifier goes from track mode to hold mode and the conversion process commences.
Reset Logic Input. A logic 0 on this pin resets the internal state machine and terminates a conversion
that may be in progress. Holding this pin low keeps the part in a reset state.
Operating Mode Logic Input. See Table 3 for details.
Operating Mode Logic Input. See Table 3 for details.
Logic input. A logic high on this pin enables output clipping. In this mode, any input voltage that is
greater than positive full scale or less than negative full scale will be clipped to all 1’s or all 0’s
respectively. Further details are given in the Offset / Overrange setion.
Chip Select Logic Input. This pin is used in conjunction with RD to access the conversion result. The
data bus is brought out of tri-state and the current contents of the output register driven onto the data
lines following the falling edge of both CS and RD. CS is also used in conjunction with WRITE to
perform a write to the Offset Register. CS can be hardwired permanently low.
Read Logic Input. Used in conjunction with CS to access the conversion result.
Write Logic Input. Used in conjunction with CS to write data to the Offset Register. When the desired
offset word has been placed on the data bus, the WRITE line should be pulsed high. It is the falling
edge of this pulse which latches in the word into the Offset Register.
Busy Logic Output. This pin indicates the status of the conversion process. The BUSY signal goes low
after the falling edge of CONVST and stays low for the duration of the conversion. In Parallel Mode 2,
the BUSY signal returns high when the conversion result has been clocked into the output register. In
Parallel Mode 1, the BUSY signal returns high as soon as the conversion has been completed but the
conversion result does not get clocked into the output register until the falling edge of the next
CONVST pulse.
Data I/O Bits (D13 is MSB). These are tri-state pins that are controlled by CS, RD and WRITE.
The operating voltage level for these pins is determined by the VDRIVE input.
Data Output Bit for overranging. If the over range feature is not used, this pin should be pulled to
DGND via a 100k⍀ resistor.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms
sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7484 it
is defined as:
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a
point 1/2 LSB below the first code transition, and full
scale, a point 1/2 LSB above the last code transition.
2
THD (dB ) = 20 log
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1
LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
2
2
2
2
V2 + V3 + V 4 + V5 + V 6
V1
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
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . .
000) to (00 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e AGND + 0.5
LSB
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
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.
Gain Error
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . .
110) to (111 . . . 111) from the ideal (i.e., VREF – 1.5
LSB) after the offset error has been adjusted out.
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).
Track/Hold Acquisition Time
Track/Hold acquisition time is the time required for the
output of the track/hold amplifier to reach its final value,
within ±1/2 LSB, after the end of conversion (the point
at which the track/hold returns to track mode).
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:
The AD7484 is tested using the CCIF standard where two
input frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth
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 14-bit converter, this is 86.04 dB.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7484 is a 14-bit error correcting successive approximation analog-to-digital converter based around a
capacitive DAC. It provides the user with track/hold, reference, A/D converter and versatile interface logic functions
on a single chip. The normal analog input signal range that
the AD7484 can convert is 0 to 2.5 Volts. By using the
offset and overrange features on the ADC, the AD7484 can
convert analog input signals from -200mV to +2.7V while
operating from a single +5V supply. The part requires a
+2.5V reference which can be provided from the part’s own
internal reference or an external reference source. Figure 1
shows a very simplified schematic of the ADC. The Control
Logic, SAR and the Capacitive DAC are used to add and
subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back to a balanced condition.
At the end of conversion, the track/hold returns to tracking mode and the acquisition time begins. The track/hold
acquisition time is TBD nS. Figure 3 shows the ADC
during its acquistition 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.

Conversion is initiated on the AD7484 by pulsing the
CONVST input. On the falling edge of CONVST, the
track/hold goes from track to hold mode and the conversion
sequence is started. Conversion time for the part is TBD
nS. Figure 2 shows the ADC during conversion. When
conversion starts, SW2 will open and SW1 will move to
position B causing the comparator to become unbalanced.
The ADC then runs through its successive approximation
routine and brings the comparator back into a balanced

POWER SAVING
400nS
The AD7484 uses advanced design techniques to achieve
very low power dissipation at high throughput rates. In addition to this the AD7484 features two power saving modes,
Nap Mode and Standby Mode. These modes are selected by
bringing either the NAP or STBY pin to a logic high respectively.
600nS
100nS
When operating the AD7484 in normal, fully powered
mode, the current consumption is 18mA during conversion and the quiescent current is 5mA. Operating at a
throughput rate of 1MSPS, the conversion time of 300nS
contributes 27mW to the overall power dissipation.
1 µS
Figure 6. NAP Mode Power Dissipation
Figures 7 and 8 show a typical graphical representation of
Power vs. Throughput for the AD7484 when in Normal and
Nap modes respectively.
(300nS / 1µS) x (5V x 18mA) = 27mW
For the remaining 700nS of the cycle, the AD7484 dissipates
17.5mW of power.
(700nS / 1µS) x (5V x 5mA) = 17.5mW

Thus the power dissipated during each cycle is:

In NAP mode, all the internal circuitry except for the
internal reference is powered down. In this mode, the
power dissipation of the AD7484 is reduced to 5mW.
When exiting NAP mode a minimum of 100nS must be
waited before initiating a conversion. This is necessary to
allow the internal circuitry to settle after power-up and for
the track/hold to properly acquire the analog input signal.

If the AD7484 is put into NAP mode after each conversion,
the average power dissipation will be reduced but the
throughput rate will be limited by the power-up time. Using
the AD7484 with a throughput rate of 1MSPS while placing
the part in NAP mode after each conversion would result in
average power dissipation as follows: The power-up and
conversion phase will contribute 36mW to the overall power
dissipation.

Figure 8. Nap Mode - Power vs. Throughput
(400nS / 1µS) x (5V x 18mA) = 36mW
In STANDBY mode, all the internal circuitry is powered
down and the power consumption of the AD7484 is reduced to 5µW. The power-up time necessary before a
conversion can be initiated is longer because the internal
reference has been powered down. If using the internal
reference of the AD7484, the ADC must be brought out
of STANDBY mode 200µS before a conversion is initiated. Initiating a conversion before the required power-up
time has elapsed will result in incorrect conversion data.
If an external reference source is used and kept powered
up while the AD7484 is in STANDBY mode, the powerup time required will be reduced.
While in NAP mode for the rest of the cycle, the AD7484
dissipates only 3mW of power.
(600nS / 1µS) x (5V x 1mA) = 3mW
Thus the power dissipated during each cycle is:
36mW + 3mW = 39mW

the part into NAP mode after each conversion.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD7484
OFFSET / OVERRANGE
The AD7484 provides a ±8% overrange capability as well as
a programmable Offset Register. The overrange capability is
achieved by the use of a 15th bit (D14) and the CLIP input.
If the CLIP input is at logic high and the contents of the
offset register are zero, then the AD7484 operates as a normal 14-bit ADC. If the input voltage is greater than the
full-scale voltage, the data output from the ADC will be all
1’s. Similarly, if the input voltage is lower than the zeroscale voltage, the data output from the ADC will be all 0’s.
In this case D14 acts as an overrange indicator. It is set to a
1 if the analog input voltage is outside the nominal 0 to
+2.5V range.
If the Offset Register contains any value other than zero,
the contents of the register are added to the SAR result at
the end of conversion. This has the effect of shifting the
transfer function of the ADC as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10. However, it should be noted that with the CLIP
input set to logic high, the maximum and minimum codes
that the AD7484 will ouput will be 0x3FFF and 0x0000
respectively. Further details are given in Table 1 and Table
2.

Figure 10. Transfer Characteristic With NegativeOffset
Table 1 below shows the expected ADC result for a given
analog input voltage with different offset values and with
CLIP tied to logic high. The combined advantages of the
offset and overrange features of the AD7484 are shown
clearly in Table 2. It shows the same range of analog input and offset values as Table 1 but with the clipping
feature disabled.
Figure 9 shows the effect of writing a positive value to the
Offset Register. If, for example, the contents of the Offset
Register contained the value 1024, then the value of the analog input voltage for which the ADC would transition from
reading all 0’s to 000...001 (the bottom reference point)
would be:

The analog input voltage for which the ADC would read

The effect of writing a negative value to the Offset Register is
shown in Figure 10. If a value of -512 was written to the
Offset Register, the bottom end reference point would now
occur at:
0.5LSB - (-512 LSBs)= +78.20mV
Following from this, the analog input voltage needed to
produce a full-scale (0x3FFF) result from the ADC would
now be:
2.5V - 1.5LSBs - (-512 LSBs) = 2.5779V

Table 2. Clipping Disabled (CLIP = 0)
Values from -1310 to +1310 may be written to the Offset
Register. These values correspond to an offset of ±200mV. A
write to the Offset Register is performed by writing a 15-bit
word to the part as detailed in the Interfacing sections. The
12 LSBs of the 15-bit word contain the offset value, the 3
MSBs must be set to zero. Failure to write zeros to the 3
MSBs may result in the incorrect operation of the device.

To write to the offset register a 15-bit word is written to
the AD7484 with the 12 LSBs containing the offset value
in 2’s complement format. The 3 MSBs must be set to
zero. The offset value must be within the range -1310 to
+1310, corresponding to an offset from -200mV to
+200mV. The value written to the offset register is stored
and used until power is removed from the device. The
value stored may be updated at any time between conversions by another write to the device. Table 4 shows some
examples of offset register values and their effective offset
voltage. Figure 14 shows a timing diagram for writing to
the AD7484.

Table 3. AD7484 Operating Modes
In Parallel Mode 1, the data in the output register is updated and available for reading when BUSY returns high
at the end of a conversion. This mode should be used if
the conversion data is required immediately after the conversion has completed. An example where this may be of
use is if the AD7484 were operating at much lower
throughput rates in conjunction with Nap Mode (for
power-saving reasons) and the input signal being compared with set limits. If the limits were exceeded, the
ADC would then be woken up and commence sampling at
full speed. Figure 12 shows a timing diagram for the
AD7484 operating in Parallel Mode 1.
In Parallel Mode 2, the data in the output register is not
updated until the next falling edge of CONVST. This
mode could be used where a single sample delay is not
vital to the system operation. This may occur, for example, in a system where a large amount of samples are
taken at high speed before a Fast Fourier Transform is
performed for frequency analysis of the input signal. Figure 13 shows a timing diagram for the AD7484 operating
in Parallel Mode 2.
Reading Data from the AD7484
Data is read from the part via a 15-bit parallel data bus
with the standard CS and RD signals. The CS and RD
signals are internally gated to enable the conversion result
onto the data bus. The data lines D0 to D14 leave their
high impedance state when both CS and RD are logic low.
Therefore, CS may be permanently tied logic low if required and the RD signal used to access the conversion
result. Figures 12 and 13 show timing specifications
called tQUIET and tQUIET2. The quiet time, tQUIET, is the
amount of time that should be left after any data bus activity before the next conversion is initiated. The second
quiet time, tQUIET2, is the period during a conversion where
activity on the data bus should be avoided. Reading a result from the AD7484 while the latter half of the
conversion is in progress will result in the degradation of
performance by about TBD dB.
Table 4. Offset Register Examples
Typical Connection
Figure 11 shows a typical connection diagram for the
AD7484 operating in Parallel Mode 1. Conversion is
initiated by a falling edge on CONVST. Once CONVST
goes low, the BUSY signal goes low and at the end of
conversion, the rising edge of BUSY is used to activate an
Interrupt Service Routine. The CS and RD lines are then
activated to read the 14 data bits (15 bits if using the
overrange feature).
In Figure 11 the VDRIVE pin is tied to DVDD, which results
in logic output levels being either 0 V or DVDD. The voltage applied to VDRIVE controls the voltage value of the
output logic signals. For example, if DVDD is supplied by
a 5 V supply and VDRIVE by a 3 V supply, the logic output
levels would be either 0 V or 3 V. This feature allows the
AD7484 to interface to 3 V devices while still enabling the
ADC to process signals at 5 V supply.
