APPLICATIONS
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 contain six 12/14/16-bit, fast, low
power, successive approximation ADCs all in the one package.
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 core operates from a single 4.5
V to 5.5 V power supply and features throughput rates up to 250
kSPS. The parts contain low noise, wide bandwidth track-andhold amplifiers that can handle input frequencies up to 8 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using CONVST signals and an internal oscillator. Three
CONVST pins allow independent simultaneous sampling of the
three ADC pairs. The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 have both a
high speed parallel and serial interface allowing the devices to
interface with microprocessors or DSPs. When in Serial
interface mode these parts have a Daisy Chain feature allowing
multiple ADCs to connect to a single serial interface. The
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can accommodate true bipolar input

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AGND
signals in the ±10V range and ±5V range . They contain a 2.5V
internal reference and can also accept an external reference. If a
3V external reference is applied to the VREF pin, the ADCs can
accommodate a true bipolar ±12V analog input range. VDD and
VSS supplies of ±12V are required for this ±12V input range.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
Six 12/14/16-bit 250 kSPS ADCs on board.
2.
Six true bipolar high impedance analog inputs.
3.
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 feature both a parallel and
a high speed serial interface.

Transient currents of up to 100 mA will not cause SCR latch-up.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those listed in the operational sections
of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

V1 – V6
Decoupling capacitors are connected to these pins to decouple the reference buffer for each
ADC pair. Each REFCAP pin should be decoupled to AGND using 10 µF and 100 nF capacitors.
Analog Input1-6. These are six single-ended Analog inputs. The Analog input range on these
channels is ddetermined by the RANGE pin.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. All analog input signals and any external reference signal should be
referred to this AGND voltage. All eleven of these AGND pins should be connected to the
AGND plane of a system. The AGND and DGND voltages ideally should be at the same
potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
Digital Power. Normally at 5V. The DVCC and AVCC voltages should ideally be at the same
potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart even on a transient basis. This supply should
be decoupled to DGND. 10 µF and 100 nF decoupling capacitors should be placed on the
DVCC pin.
Logic power supply input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the
interface will operate. Nominally at the same supply as the supply of the host interface. This

Preliminary Technical Data
Digital Ground. This is the ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. Both DGND pins should connect to the DGND plane of a system.
The DGND and AGND voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more
than 0.3 V apart even on a transient basis.
Analog Supply Voltage, 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This is the only supply voltage for ADC cores. The AVCC
and DVCC voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V
apart even on a transient basis. This supply should be decoupled to AGND. 10 µF and 100 nF
decoupling capacitors should be placed on the AVCC pins.
Conversion Start Input A,B,C. Logic Inputs. These inputs are used to initiate conversions on the
ADC pairs. CONVSTA is used to initiate simultaneous conversions on V1 and V2. CONVSTB is
used to initiate simultameous conversions on V3 and V4. CONVSTC is used to initiate
simultaneous conversions on V5 and V6. When CONVSTX switches from low to high the trackand-hold switch on the selected ADC pairs switches from track to hold and the conversion is
initiated.
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input frames the data transfer. When both CS and RD
are logic low in parallel mode the output bus is enabled and the conversion result is output on
the Parallel Data Bus lines. When both CS and WR are logic low in parallel mode DB[15:8] are
used to write data to the on-chip control register. In serial mode the CS is used to frame the
serial read transfer.
Read Data. When both CS and RD are logic low in parallel mode the output bus is enabled. In
serial Mode the RD line should be held low.
Write Data/ reference Enable/Disable. When H/S SEL pin is high both CS and WR are logic low
DB[15:8] are used to write data to the internal Control Register. When H/S SEL pin is low this
pin is used to enable or disable the internal Reference. When H/S SEL =0 and REF EN/DISABLE =
0 the internal reference is disabled and an external reference should be applied to this pin.
When H/S SEL = 0 and REF EN/DISABLE = 1 the internal reference is enabled.
BUSY Output. Transitions high when a conversion is started and remains high until the
conversion is complete and the conversion data is latched into the Output Data registers.
Reference Input/Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. Alternatively, the internal reference can be disabled and an external
reference applied to this input. See Reference Section.

interface mode is selected. In serial mode DB[10:8] take on their SDATA [C:A] function, DB[0:2]
take on their DOUT select function, DB[7] takes on its DCEN function. In serial mode DB15 and
DB[13:11] should be tied to DGND.

Output pin. When SER/PAR is =1, this pin takes on its SEL A function, it is used to configure the
serial interface. If this pin is 1, the serial interface will operate with one/two/three DOUT ouput
pins and enables DOUT A as a serial output. When operating in serial mode this pin should
always be = 1.

and enables DOUT B as a serial output. If this pin is 0 the DOUT B is not enabled to operate as a
serial Data Output pin and only one DOUT output pin is used.
Data Bit [2]/Select DOUT C. When SER/PAR = 0, this pin acts as a three-state Parallel Digital
Output pin. When SER/PAR is =1, this pin takes on its SEL C function, it is used to configure the
serial interface. If this pin is 1, the serial interface will operate with three DOUT ouput pins and
enables DOUT C as a serial output. If this pin is 0 the DOUT C is not enabled to operate as a
serial Data Output pin.
Data Bit [3]/Daisy Chain in C. When SER/PAR =0, this pin acts as a three-state Parallel Digital
Output pin. When SER/PAR is =1 and DCEN = 1, this pin acts as Daisy Chain Input C.

for the serial transfer.
Data bit 7/ High Byte Enable/ Daisy Chain Enable. When operating in Parallel Word mode
(SER/PAR = 0 and W/B = 1) this pin takes on its Data bit 7 function. When operating in Parallel
Byte mode (SER/PAR = 0 and W/B = 0), this pin takes on its HBEN function. When in this mode
and the HBEN pin is a logic high, the data will be output MSB byte first on DB[15:8]. When the
HBEN pin is a logic low the data will be output LSB byte first on DB[15:8]. When operating in
Serial mode (SER/PAR = 1) this pin takes on its DCEN function. When DCEN pin is a logic high
the part will operate in Daisy Chain mode with DB[5:3] taking on their DCIN[A:C] function.
Data Bit [8]/Serial Data Output A. When SER/PAR =0, this pin acts as a three-state Parallel
Digital Output pin. When SER/PAR =1 and SEL A = 1, this pin takes on its DOUT A function.
Data Bit [9]/Serial Data Output B. When SER/PAR =0, this pin acts as a three-state Parallel

Output pin. When SER/PAR =1, this pin should be tied to DGND.
Data Bit [12:15]. SER/PAR =0 these pins act as a three-state parallel Digital Input/Output pins.
When CS and RD are low these pins are used to output the conversion result. When CS and WR
are low these pins are used to write to the Control Register. When SER/PAR =1 these pins
should be tied to DGND.
Data Bit [14]/ REFBUF ENABLE/DISABLE. When SER/PAR =0, this pin acts as a three-state Digital
Input/output pin. When SER/PAR =1, this pin can be used to enable or disable the internal
reference buffers.
Reset Input. When set to a logic high, reset the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. The Current
conversion if any is aborted. Internal register is set to all 0’s. If not in use, this pin could be tied
low. In Hardware mode the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 will be configured depending on the
logic levels on the hardware select pins. When operating in software mode a reset pulse is
required afterpower up to select the default settings in the Internal register. (See Register
section)
Analog Input Range Selection. Logic input. The polarity on this pin will determine what input
range the analog input channels will have. When this pin is a logic 1 at the falling edge of
BUSY then range for the next conversion is ± 2 x VREF. When this pin is a logic 0 at the falling
edge of BUSY then range for the next conversion is ± 4 x VREF.
Positive power supply voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the Analog Input section.
10 µF and 100 nF decoupling capacitors should be placed on the VDD pin.
Negative power supply voltage. This is the negavtive supply voltage for the Analog Input
section. 10 µF and 100 nF decoupling capacitors should be placed on the VSS pin.
Standby mode Input. This pin is used to put all six on-chip ADCs into standby mode. The STBY
pin is high for normal operation and low for standby operation.
Hardware/Software Select Input. Logic Input. When SER/PAR =0 and this pin is a logic low the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 operates in Hardware select mode. The ADC pairs to be
simultaneously sampled are selected by the CONVST pins. When SER/PAR =0 this pin is a logic
high the ADC pairs to be simultaneously sampled are selected by writing to the control
register.
Word/Byte Input. When this pin is a logic low data can be transfered to and from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 using the parallel data lines DB[15:0]. When this pin is a logic high
Byte mode is enabled. In this mode data is transferred using data lines DB[15:8], DB[7] takes on
its HBEN function. To obtain the 12/14/16-bit conversion result two byte reads are required.
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656
Preliminary Technical Data
TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity
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.
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Bipolar Zero Code Error
It is the deviation of the midscale transition (all 1s to all 0s)
from the ideal VIN voltage, i.e., AGND - 1 LSB.
Positive Full Scale Error
It is the deviation of the last code transition (011…110) to
(011…111) from the ideal ( +4 x VREF - 1 LSB, + 2 x VREF – 1
LSB) after the bipolar Zero Code Error has been adjusted out.
Negative Full Scale Error
This is the deviation of the first code transition (10…000) to
(10…001) from the ideal (i.e., - 4 x VREF + 1 LSB, - 2 x VREF + 1
LSB) after the Bipolar Zero Code Error has been adjusted out.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end
of conversion. The track-and-hold acquisition time is the time
required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach
its final value, within ±1 LSB, after the end of the conversion.
See the Track-and-Hold Section for more details.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) at
the output of the ADC. 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
depends 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
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Rev. PrI | Page 14 of 25
Thus, for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB, for a 14-bit converter,
this is 86 dB and for a 16-bit converter, this is 98 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the
fundamental. For the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656, it is defined as
THD (dB) = 20 log
V22 + V32 + V42 + V52 + V62
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.
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, 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. 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 AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 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.
Preliminary Technical Data
CONVERTER DETAILS
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 are high-speed, low power
converters that allow the simultaneous sampling of their six onchip ADCs. The Analog Inputs on the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can accept True bipolar Input
signals, the RANGE pin/RNG bits are used to select between ±4
x VREF or ±2 x VREF as the Input Range for the next
conversion.
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 contain six SAR ADCs, six
track-and-hold amplifiers, on-chip 2.5V reference, reference
buffers, high speed parallel and serial interfaces. The
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 allow the simultaneous sampling of
all six ADCs when all three CONVST signals are tied together.
Alternatively the six ADCs can be grouped into three pairs.
Each pair has an associated CONVST signal used to initiate
simultaneous sampling on each ADC pair, on four ADCs or all
six ADCs. CONVSTA is used to initiate simultaneous sampling
on V1 and V2, CONVSTB is used to initiate simultaneous
sampling on V3 and V4, and CONVSTC is used to initiate
simultaneous sampling on V5 and V6.
A conversion is initiated on the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 by
pulsing the CONVSTX input. On the rising edge of CONVSTX
the track-and-hold on the selected ADCs will be placed into
hold mode and the conversions are started. After the rising edge
of CONVSTX the BUSY signal will go high to indicate the
conversion is taking place. The conversion clock for the part is
internally generated and the conversion time for the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 is 3 µs from the rising edge of
CONVSTX. The BUSY signal will return low to indicate the end
of conversion. On the falling edge of BUSY the track-and-hold
will return to track mode. Data can be read from the output
register via the parallel or serial interface.
Track-and-Hold Section
The track-and-Hold amplifiers on the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 allow the ADCs to accurately
convert an input sine wave of full-scale amplitude to 12/14/16bit resolution. The input bandwidth of the track-and-hold
amplifiers is greater that the Nyquist rate of the ADC even
when the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 is operating at its
maximum throughput rate. The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can
handle input frequencies up to 8 MHz.
Rev. PrI | Page 15 of 25
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656
The track-and-hold amplifiers sample their respective inputs
simultaneously on the rising edge of CONVSTX. The aperture
time for the track-and-hold, (i.e. the delay time between the
external CONVSTX signal actually going into hold), is typically
20ns. This is well matched across all six track-and-holds on the
one device and also from device to device. This allows more
than six ADCs to be simultaneously sampled. The end of the
conversion is signaled by the falling edge of BUSY and its at this
point the track-and-holds return to track mode and the
acquisition time begins.
Analog Input Section
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can handle True bipolar input
voltages. The logic level on the RANGE pin or the value written
to the RNGX bits in the Control register will determine the
Analog input Range on the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 for the
next conversion. When the RANGE pin/ RNGX bit is 1 the
Analog input range for the next conversion is ±2 x VREF, when
the RANGE pin/ RNG bit is 0 the Analog Input range for the
next conversion is ±4 x VREF.

Figure 3. Equivalent Analog Input Structure
Figure 3 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input
structure of the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. 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 VDD and VSS supply rails by more than TBD mV.
This will cause these diodes to become forward-biased and to
start conducting current into the substrate. The maximum
current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible
damage to the part is 10 mA. Capacitor C1 in Figure 3 is
typically about 5 pF and can be attributed primarily to pin
capacitance. Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the
on resistance of a switch (track-and-hold switch). This resistor
is typically about 25 Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling
capacitor and has a capacitance of 25 pF typically.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656’s own 2.5V reference or allows for an
external reference to be connected providing the reference
source for the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 conversions. The
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can accommodate a 2.5V to 3V
external reference range. When using an external reference the
internal reference needs to be disabled. After a RESET the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 defaults to operating in external
Reference mode. The internal reference can be enabled in either
hardware or software mode. To enable the internal reference in
hardware mode, H/S SEL pin =0 and the REF EN/DISABLE = 1.
To enable the internal reference in software mode H/S SEL pin
=1, a write to the control register is necessary to make DB1 of
the register = 1. The REFIN/OUT pin should be decoupled
using 10 µF and 100 nF capacitors.
The output coding of the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 is two’s
Complement. The designed code transitions occur midway
between successive integer LSB values, i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs.
The LSB size is FSR/4096 for the AD7658, FSR/16384 for the
AD7657 and FSR/65536 for the AD7656. The ideal transfer
characteristic for the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 is shown in
Figure 4.

The AD7656 contains three on-chip reference buffers. Each of
the three ADC pairs has an associated reference buffer. These
reference buffers require external decoupling caps on REFCAPA,

capacitor should be placed on these REFCAP pins.

Preliminary Technical Data
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656
The number of read operations required will depend on the
number of ADCs that were simultaneously sampled, see Figure
5. If CONVSTA and CONVSTB were brought low
simultaneously, four read operations are required to obtain the
conversion results from V1, V2, V3 and V4. The conversion
results will be output in ascending order. For the AD7657 DB15
and DB14 will contain two leading zeros and DB[13:0] will
output the 14-bit conversion result. For the AD7658 DB[15:12]
will contain four leading zeros and DB[11:0] will output the 12bit conversion result.
INTERFACE SECTION
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 provides two interface options,
a parallel interface and a high speed serial interface. The
required interface mode is selected via the SER/PAR pin. The
parallel interface can operate in word (W/B = 1) or byte (W/B =
0) mode. The interface modes are discussed in the following
sections.
Parallel Interface (SER/PAR = 0)
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 consist of six 12/14/16-bit
ADCs. A simultaneous sample of all six ADCs can be
performed by connecting all three CONVST pins together,
CONVSTA, CONVSTB, CONVSTC. The rising edge of
CONVSTX initiates simultaneous conversions on the selected
ADCs. The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 contains an on-chip
oscillator that is used to perform the conversions. The
conversion time, tCONV, is 3 µs. The BUSY signal goes low to
indicate the End of Conversion. The falling edge of the BUSY
signal is used to place the track-and-hold into track mode. The
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 also allow the six ADCs to be
simultaneously converted in pairs by pulsing the three
CONVST pins independently. CONVSTA is used to initiate
simultaneous conversions on V1 and V2, CONVSTB is used to
initiate simultaneous conversions on V3 and V4, and
CONVSTC is used to initiate simultaneous conversions on V5
and V6. The conversion results from the simultaneously
sampled ADCs are stored in the output data registers.
If there is only an 8-bit bus available the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 interface can be configured to
operate in BYTE mode (W/B= 1). In this configuration the
DB7/HBEN/DCEN pin takes on its HBEN function. The
conversion results from the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can be
accessed in two read operations with 8-bits of data provided on
DB15 to DB8 for each of the read operations, See Figure 6. The
HBEN pin determines whether the read operation accesses the
high byte or the low byte of the 12/14/16-bit conversion result
first. To always access the low byte first on DB15 to DB8, the
HBEN pin should be tied low. To always access the high byte
first on DB15 to DB8 then the HBEN pin should be tied high. In
BYTE mode when all three CONVST pins are pulsed together
to initiate simultaneous conversions on all six ADCs, twelve
read operations are necessary to read back the six 12/14/16-bit
conversion results when operating in BYTE mode. DB[6:0]
should be left unconnected in byte mode.
Data can be read from the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 via the
parallel data bus with standard CS and RD signals (W/B = 0).
To read the data over the parallel bus SER/PAR should be tied
low. The CS and RD input signals are internally gated to enable
the conversion result onto the data bus. The data lines DB0 to
DB15 leave their high impedance state when both CS and RD
are logic low. The CS signal can be permanently tied low and
the RD signal can be used to access the conversion results. A
read operation can take place after the BUSY signal goes low.
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 allow the option of reading
during a conversion. If for example, a simultaneous conversion
had occurred on V1 and V2 by pulsing the CONVSTA pin. The
processor will next read the conversion results from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. During the read operation after the
BUSY signal has gone low further simultaneous conversions can
be initiated by pulsing the CONVST pins. However to achieve
the specified performance from the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656
reading after the conversion is recommended.

Software Selection of ADCs
The H/S SEL pin determines the source of the combination of
ADCs that are to be simultaneously sampled. When the H/S
SEL pin is a logic low the combination of channels to be
simultaneously sampled is determined by the CONVSTA,
CONVSTB, and CONVSTC pins. When the H/S SEL pin is a
logic high the combination of channels selected for
simultaneous sampling is determined by the contents of the
Control register DB15 to DB8. In this mode a write to the
Control register is necessary.
The Control register is an 8-bit write only register. Data is
written to this register using the CS and WR pins and DB[15:8]
data pins, see Figure 8. The Control register is shown in Table 8.
To select an ADC pair to be simultaneously sampled, set the
corresponding data line high during the write operation.
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 control register allows
individual ranges to be programmed on each ADC pair. DB12
to DB10 in the Control register are used to program the range
on each ADC pair. The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 allows the
user to select either ± 4 x VREF or ± 2 x VREF as the analog
input range. RNGA is used to select the range for the next
conversion on V1 and V2, RNGB is used to select the Range for
the next conversion on V3 and V4 and RNGC is used to select
the range for V5 and V6. When the RNGX is 1 the range on the
corresponding Analog input pair is ± 2 x VREF. When the
RNGX bit is 0 the range on the corresponding Analog Input
pair is ± 4 x VREF.
The REFEN pin is used to disable the internal reference,
allowing the user to supply an external reference to the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. When a 0 is written to this bit the
on-chip reference is disabled. When a 1 is written to this bit the
on-chip reference is enabled.
The REF BUF bit is used to disable the internal reference
buffers. When this bit is 1 the internal reference buffers are
disabled.
After a RESET occurs on the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 the
Control register will contain all zeros.

The CONVSTA signal is used to initiate a simultaneous
conversion on the combination of channels selected via the
Control register. The CONVSTB and CONVSTC signals can be
tied low when operating in software mode, H/S SEL = 1. The
number of read pulses required will depend on the number of
ADCs selected in the Control register and also whether
operating in word or BYTE mode. The conversion results will
be output in ascending order.
During the write operation the Data Bus bits DB15 to DB8 are
bidirectional and become inputs to the Control register when
RD is a logic high, CS and WR are logic low. The logic state on
DB15 through DB8 is latched into the Control register when
WR goes logic high.

Changing the Analog Input Range(H/S SEL=0)
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 RANGE pin allows the user to
select either ± 2 x VREF or ± 4 x VREF as the analog input
range for the six Analog Inputs. When the H/S SEL pin is low
the logic state of the RANGE pin is sampled on the falling edge
of the BUSY signal to determine the range for the next
simultaneous conversion. When the RANGE pin is a logic high
at the falling edge of the BUSY signal the range for the next

transfers are used to access data from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656, two 16 SCLK transfers individually
framed with the CS signal can also be used to access the data on
the three DOUT lines. When operating the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 in serial mode with conversion data
being clocked out on all three DOUT line DB0-DB2 should be
tied to VDRIVE. These pins are used to enable the DOUTA –
DOUTC lines respectively.
conversion is ± 2 x VREF. When the RANGE pin is a logic low
at the falling edge of the BUSY signal the range for the next
conversion is ± 4 x VREF.
Changing the Analog Input Range(H/S SEL=1)
When the H/S SEL pin is high the range can be changed by
writing to the Control Register. DB12:10 in the Control Register
are used to select the Analog input Ranges for the next
conversion. Each Analog input pair has an associated range bit,
allowing independent ranges to be programmed on each ADC
pair. When the RNGX bit is 1 the Range for the next conversion
is ±2 x VREF. When the RNGX bit is 0 the range for the next
conversion is ±4 x VREF.
If it is required to clock conversion data out on two data out
lines then DOUTA and DOUTB should be used. Again to
enable DOUTA and DOUTB, DB0 and DB1 should be tied to
VDRIVE and DB2 should be tied low. When six simultaneous
conversions are performed and only two DOUT lines are used,
a 48 SCLK transfer can be used to access the data from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. The read sequence is shown in
Figure 10 for a simultaneous conversion on all six ADCs using
two DOUT lines. If a simultaneous conversion occurred on all
six ADCs and only two DOUT lines are used to read the results
from the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656, DOUTA will clock out the
result from V1, V2 and V5, while DOUTB will clock out the
results from V3,V4 and V6.
SERIAL INTERFACE (SER/PAR = 1)
By pulsing one, two or all three CONVSTX signals the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 will simultaneously convert the
selected channel pairs on the rising edge of CONVSTX. The
simultaneous conversions on the selected ADCs are performed
using the on-chip trimmed oscillator. After the rising edge of
CONVSTX the BUSY signal goes high to indicate the
conversion has started. It returns low when the conversion is
complete 3 µs later. The output register will be loaded with the
new conversion results and data can be read from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. To read the data back from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 over the serial interface SER/PAR
should be tied high. The CS and SCLK signal are used to
transfer data from the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. The
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 has three DOUT pins, DOUTA,
DOUTB, DOUTC. Data can be read back from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 using one, two or all three DOUT
lines. Figure 9 shows six simultaneous conversions and the read
sequence using three DOUT lines. In figure 8, 32 SCLK
CONVST A,B,C
Data can also be clocked out using just one DOUT line, in this
case DOUTA should be used to access the conversion data. To
configure the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 to operate in this
mode then DB0 should be tied to VDRIVE, DB1 and DB2 should
be tied low. The penalty for using just one DOUT line is the
throughput rate will be reduced. Data can be accessed from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 using one 96 SCLK transfer, three 32
SCLK individually framed transfers or six 16 SCLK individually
framed transfers. In Serial mode the RD signal should be tied
low.

followed by the 14-bits of conversion data provided MSB first;
the data stream of the AD7656 consists of sixteen bits of
conversion data provided MSB first. The first bit of the
conversion result is valid on the first SCLK falling edge after the
CS falling edge. The subsequent 15 data bits of the data are
clocked out on rising edge of the SCLK signal. Data is valid on
the SCLK falling edge. Sixteen clock pulses must be provided to
the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 to access each conversion result.
Figure 11 shows how a 16 SCLK read is used to access the
conversion results.
Figure 11 shows the timing diagram for reading data from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 in serial mode. The SCLK input
signal provides the clock source for the serial interface. The CS
signal goes low to access data from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. The falling edge of CS takes the bus
out of three-state and clocks out the MSB of the 12/14/16-bit
conversion result. The ADCs output 16- bits for each conversion
result. The data stream of the AD7658 consists of four leading
zeros followed by 12 bits of conversion data provided MSB first;
the data stream of the AD7657 consists of two leading zeros,

Daisy-Chain Mode(DCEN =1, SER/PAR = 1)
When reading conversion data back from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 using the three/two DOUT pins it is
possible to Configure the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 to operate
in Daisy-Chain Mode, using the DCEN pin. This Daisy-Chain
feature allows multiple AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 devices to be
cascaded together. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections. An example
connection of two devices is shown in Figure 12, this
Rev. PrI | Page 20 of 25
configuration shows two DOUT lines being used. Simultaneous
sampling of the 12 Analog Inputs is possible by using a
common CONVST signal. The DB5, DB4 and DB3 data pins are
used as Data input pins, DCIN[A:C], for the Daisy-Chain Mode.
The rising edge of CONVST is used to initiate a conversion on
the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656. After the BUSY signal has gone
low to indicate the conversion is complete the user can begin to
read the data from the two devices. Figure 13 shows the serial
timing diagram when operating two AD7658/AD7657/AD7656

devices in Daisy Chain Mode.
During the last 48 SCLKs device #2 will clock out zeros, device
#1 will shift the data it clocked in from device #2 during the
first 48 SCLKs into the digital host. This example could also
have been implemented using 3 x 32 SCLK individually framed
SCLK transfers or 6 x 16 SCLK individually framed SCLK
transfers provided DCEN remained high during the transfers.
Figure 14 shows the timing if two AD7656 were configured in
Daisy chain mode but operating with three DOUT lines. Again
assuming a simultaneous sampling of all 12 inputs occurred.
During the read operation the CS frames a 64 SCLK transfer.
During the first 32 SCLKs of this transfer the conversion results
from Device #1 are clocked into the digital host and the
conversion results from device #2 are clocked into device #1.
During the last 32 SCLKs of the transfer the conversion results
from device #2 are clocked out of device #1 and into the digital
host. Device #2 will clock out zeros.
The CS falling edge is used to frame the serial transfer from the
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 devices, take the bus out of threestate and clock out the MSB of the first conversion result. In the
example shown all twelve ADC channels were simultaneously
sampled. Two DOUT line are used to read the conversion
results in this example. CS frames a 96 SCLK transfer. During
the first 48 SCLK the conversion data is transferred from Device
#2 to Device #1. DOUT A on device #2 transfers conversion
data from V1, V2 and V5 into DCINA in device #1. DOUT B on
device #2 transfers conversion results from V3, V4 and V6 to
DCIN B in device #1. During the first 48 SCLK device #1
transfers data into the digital host, DOUTA on device #1
transfers conversion data from V1, V2 and V5. DOUTB on
device #1 transfers conversion data from V3, V4 and V6.

Preliminary Technical Data
Standby/Partial Power Down Modes of Operation
Each ADC pair can be individually placed into partial power
down by bringing the CONVSTX signal low before the falling
edge of BUSY. To power the ADC pair back up again then the
CONVSTX signal should be brought high to tell the ADC pair
to power up and place the track-and-hold into track mode. In
partial power down mode the reference buffers will remain
powered up. While an ADC pair is in partial power down,
conversions can still occur on the other ADCs.
The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 has a standby mode whereby
the device can be placed into a low current consumption mode
(0.5 µA max). The AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 is placed into
standby mode by bringing the logic input STBY low. The
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can be powered up again for normal
Rev. PrI | Page 23 of 25
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656
operation by bringing STBY logic high. The output data buffers
are still operational when the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 is in
standby. This means the user can still continue to access the
conversion results when the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 is in
standby. This standby feature can be used to reduce the average
power consumed by the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 when
operating at lower throughput rates. The
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 could be placed into standby at the
end of each conversion when BUSY goes low and taken out of
standby again prior to the next conversion. The time it takes for
the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 to come out of standby is called
the “wake-up” time. This wake-up time will limit the maximum
throughput rate at which the AD7658/AD7657/AD7656 can
operate when powering down between conversions.
AD7658/AD7657/AD7656
APPLICATION HINTS
Layout
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7656 should be
designed so the analog and digital sections are separated and
confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of
ground planes that can be easily separated. Digital and analog
ground planes should be joined in only one place, preferably
underneath the AD7656, or, at least, as close as possible to the
AD7656. If the AD7656 is in a system where multiple devices
require analog to digital ground connections, the connection
should still be made at one point only, a star ground point,
which should be established as close as possible to the AD7656.
It is recommended to avoid running digital lines under the
device as these will couple noise onto the die. The analog
ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7656 to
avoid noise coupling. Fast switching signals like CONVST or
clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating
noise to other sections of the board and should never run near
analog signal paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals
Rev. PrI | Page 24 of 25
Preliminary Technical Data
should be avoided. Traces on different but close layers of the
board should run at right angles to each other. This will reduce
the effect of feedthrough through the board.
The power supply lines to the AD7656 should use as large a
trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce
the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. Good
decoupling is also important to lower the supplies impedance
presented to the AD7656 and to reduce the magnitude of the
supply spikes. Decoupling ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF,
should be placed on all of the power supply pins, power
supplies pins VDD, VSS, AVCC, DVCC, and VDRIVE. The decoupling
capacitors should be placed close to, and ideally right up
against, these pins and their corresponding ground pins.
Additionally, low ESR 10 µF capacitors should be located in the
vicinity of the ADC to further reduce low frequency ripple.
The decoupling capacitors should be close to the ADC and
connected with short and large traces to minimize parasitic
inductances.
