GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD7960 is an 18-bit, 5 MSPS, charge redistribution successive approximation (SAR), analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The SAR architecture allows unmatched performance both in noise and in linearity. The AD7960 contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock, and an internal reference buffer. On the CNV± edge, the AD7960 samples the voltage difference between the IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages on these pins swing in opposite phase between 0 V and 4.096 V and between 0 V and 5 V. The reference voltage is applied to the part externally. All conversion results are available on a single LVDS self clocked or echoed clock serial interface. The AD7960 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP (QFN) with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C. Table 1.

Decouple the 5 V supply with a 100 nF capacitor. Analog 1.8 V Supply. Decouple this pin with a 100 nF capacitor. Input/Output Interface Supply. Use a 1.8 V supply and decouple this pin with a 100 nF capacitor. Ground. Reference Ground. Connect the capacitors on the REF pin between REF and REF_GND. Tie REF_GND to GND. Prebuffer Reference Voltage. It is driven with an external reference voltage of 2.048 V. When driving an external 2.048 V reference, a 100 nF capacitor is required. If using an external 5 V or 4.096 V reference (connected to REF), connect this pin to ground. Enable.2 The logic levels of these pins set the operation of the device, as described in Table 8. Convert Input. These pins act as the conversion control pin. On the rising edge of these pins, the analog inputs are sampled and a conversion cycle is initiated. CNV+ works as a CMOS input when CNV− is grounded; otherwise, CNV+ and CNV− are differential LVDS inputs. LVDS Data Outputs. The conversion data is output serially on these pins. LVDS Buffered Clock Outputs. When DCO+ is grounded, the self clocked interface mode is selected. In this mode, the 18-bit results on D± are preceded by an initial 0 (which is output at the end of the previous conversion), followed by a 2-bit header (10) to allow synchronization of the data by the digital host with extra logic. The 1 in this header provides the reference to acquire the subsequent conversion result correctly. When DCO+ is not grounded, the echoed clock interface mode is selected. In this mode, DCO± is a copy of CLK±. The data bits are output on the falling edge of DCO+ and can be captured in the digital host on the next rising edge of DCO+. LVDS Clock Inputs. This clock shifts out the conversion results on the falling edge of CLK+. Common-Mode Output. When using any reference scheme, this pin produces one-half the voltage present on the REF pin, which can be useful for driving the common mode of the input amplifiers. Differential Negative Analog Input. Referenced to and must be driven 180° out of phase with IN+. Differential Positive Analog Input. Referenced to and must be driven 180° out of phase with IN−. Buffered Reference Voltage. When using the 2.048 V external reference (REFIN input), the 4.096 V system reference is produced at this pin. When using an external reference of 4.096 V or 5 V on this pin, the internal reference buffer must be disabled. Connect the REF pins with the shortest trace possible to a single 10 μF, low ESR, low ESL capacitor. The other side of the capacitor must be placed close to GND. Exposed Pad. The exposed pad is located on the underside of the package. Connect the exposed pad to the ground plane of the PCB using multiple vias. AI = analog input; AI/O = bidirectional analog; AO = analog output; DI = digital input; DO = digital output; P = power. EN2 = 0 sets the 28 MHz of input bandwidth, and EN2 = 1 sets the 9 MHz of input bandwidth. EN3 = 1 enables the VCM reference output.

Differential nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed. Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but not the linearity of the converter. PSRR is the maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a change in power supply voltage from the nominal value. Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Error Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is expressed in decibels. Dynamic Range Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to the rms noise measured for an input typically at −60 dB. The value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels. Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to SINAD and is expressed in bits by ENOB = [(SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02] Gain Error The first transition (from 100 … 000 to 100 …001) should occur at a level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−4.0959844 V for the ±4.096 V range). The last transition (from 011 … 110 to 011 … 111) occurs for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full scale (+4.095953 V for the ±4.096 V range). The gain error is the deviation of the difference between the actual level of the last transition and the actual level of the first transition from the difference between the ideal levels. Gain Error Drift The ratio of the gain error change due to a temperature change of 1°C and the full-scale range (2N). It is expressed in parts per million. Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion (SINAD) Ratio SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for SINAD is expressed in decibels. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) SFDR is the difference, in decibels, between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal (including harmonics). Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is expressed in decibels. Zero Error Zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code. Zero Error Drift The ratio of the zero error change due to a temperature change of 1°C and the full-scale code range (2N). It is expressed in parts per million. Least Significant Bit (LSB) The least significant bit, or LSB, is the smallest increment that can be represented by a converter. For a fully differential input ADC with N bits of resolution, the LSB expressed in volts is LSB (V) = V INp-p 2N Rev. 0 | Page 13 of 24 AD7960 Data Sheet THEORY OF OPERATION IN+ GND LSB MSB 131,072C 65,536C 4C 2C SWITCHES CONTROL SW+ C C CLK+, CLK– REF COMP CONTROL LOGIC 4C 2C C OUTPUT CODE C MSB SW– LSB CNV+, CNV– GND CONVERSION CONTROL IN– LVDS INTERFACE 09659-011 65,536C DATA TRANSFER D+, D– GND 131,072C DCO+, DCO– Figure 28. ADC Simplified Schematic CIRCUIT INFORMATION The AD7960 is a 5 MSPS, high precision, power efficient, 18-bit ADC that uses SAR-based architecture to provide performance of 99 dB SNR, ±0.8 LSB INL, and ±0.5 LSB DNL. The AD7960 does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it ideal for multiplexed channel applications. The AD7960 is capable of converting 5,000,000 samples per second (5 MSPS). The device typically consumes 46.5 mW of power. The AD7960 offers the added functionality of an onchip reference buffer. If the internal reference buffer is enabled, the AD7960 consumes approximately an additional 18 mW of power. The AD7960 is specified for use with 5 V and 1.8 V supplies (VDD1, VDD2). The interface from the digital host to the AD7960 uses 1.8 V logic only. The AD7960 uses an LVDS interface to transfer data conversions. The CNV+ and CNV− inputs to the part activate the conversion of the analog input. The CNV+ and CNV− pins can be applied using a CMOS or LVDS source. The AD7960 is housed in a space-saving, 32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP package. When the conversion phase begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two-capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the inputs (IN+ and IN−) captured at the end of the acquisition phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor array between GND and REF (the reference voltage), the comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 … VREF/262,144). The control logic toggles these switches, MSB first, to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. At the completion of this process, the control logic generates the ADC output code. The AD7960 digital interface uses low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) to enable high data transfer rates. The AD7960 conversion result is available for reading after tMSB (time from the conversion start until MSB is available) elapses. The user must apply a burst LVDS CLK± signal to the AD7960 to transfer data to the digital host. The CLK± signal outputs the ADC conversion result onto the data output, D±. The bursting of the CLK± signal, illustrated in Figure 35 and Figure 36, is characterized as follows: CONVERTER INFORMATION • The AD7960 is a 5 MSPS ADC that uses SAR-based architecture based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 28 shows a simplified schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two identical arrays of 18 binary weighted capacitors that are connected to the two comparator inputs. • During the acquisition phase, the terminals of the array tied to the input of the comparator are connected to GND via SW+ and SW−. All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs. In this way, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN− inputs. A conversion phase is initiated when the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV± input goes high. Note that the AD7960 can receive a CMOS or LVDS format CNV± signal. Rev. 0 | Page 14 of 24 Hold the differential voltage on CLK± in a steady state in the window of time between tCLKL and tMSB. The AD7960 has two data read modes. For more information about the echoed clock and self clocked interface modes, see the Digital Interface section. Data Sheet AD7960 TRANSFER FUNCTION The AD7960 uses a 5 V or a 4.096 V reference. The AD7960 converts the differential voltage of the antiphase analog inputs (IN+ and IN−) into a digital output. IN+ and IN− require a REF/2 V common-mode voltage. maximum. However, if the supplies of the input buffer amplifier are different from the VDD1/GND supply, the analog input signal may eventually exceed the supply rails by more than 0.3 V. In such a case (for example, an input buffer with a short circuit), the current limitation can be used to protect the part. VDD1 185Ω 26pF 09659-013 IN+ OR IN– Figure 30.

Figure 30 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of the AD7960. The two diodes provide ESD protection for IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signals do not exceed the supply rails of the AD7960 by more than 0.3 V (VDD1 and GND).

If the analog inputs are multiplexed during this quiet conversion time, the current conversion may be corrupted by up to 15 LSBs. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Figure 32 shows an example of a typical connection diagram for driving the AD7960 using the two single-ended ADA4899-1 devices. The alternative ADC drivers are two single-ended ADA4897-1 op amps or a differential amplifier ADA4932-1 that can drive the inputs of the AD7960. If the analog inputs are multiplexed early enough, the inputs can slew fast enough to a full-scale signal and settle the input within the allowed time. The AD7960 is an ideal fit for high speed multiplexed applications such as digital X-ray, computed tomography, and infrared cameras that require superior performance in terms of noise, power, and throughput, which significantly reduces cost in these types of applications. The AD7960 has a quiet time requirement of 90 ns to 110 ns during the conversion, where the switching of multiplexer inputs (channels) must not occur to avoid the corruption of conversion. In other words, a delay of less than 90 ns and greater than 110 ns from the CNV± rising The AD7960 offers extremely low noise floor relative to its fullscale input. The combination of high throughput rate, low noise floor, and linearity also makes this part suitable for oversampling applications such as spectroscopy, MRI gradient control, and gas chromatography. The wide dynamic range of the AD7960 allows accurate measurements of both small and large signals from multiple channels. +VS ADR4550 +7V 0.1µF +5V AD8031 0.1µF 0.1µF 10µF2 +5V –VS 0.1µF +1.8V 0.1µF +1.8V 0.1µF +VS REFIN 56pF ADA4899-1 REF1 VDD1 VDD2 VIO CNV± 100Ω –VS IN+ D± 100Ω DCO± 100Ω AD7960 IN– +VS 20Ω VCM = 2.5V GND VCM 56pF 0V TO 5 V ADA4899-1 CLK± 100Ω DIGITAL HOST LVDS TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE VCM = 2.5V DIGITAL INTERFACE SIGNALS 20Ω 0V TO 5 V 2.5V 0.1µF –VS +VS VCM3 AD8031 0.1µF GROUND OF THE BOARD.

Reference buffer disabled. Drive the REF pins with a 5 V external reference. The bandwidth of the input sampling network is set to narrow (9 MHz). Internal reference buffer enabled and driving REF pin to 4.096 V. The bandwidth of the input sampling network is set to narrow (9 MHz). Reference buffer disabled. Drive the REF pins with a 4.096 V external reference. The bandwidth of the input sampling network is set to narrow (9 MHz). Snooze mode.2 LVDS powers down. The chip is unresponsive to CNV± start pulses. The wake-up time is fast (5 µs) when EN3 to EN0 are set to XX01 or XX10. X = don’t care. The snooze mode is not useful when the internal reference buffer is used because the fast wake-up is not possible due to the settling of the internal reference buffer. VOLTAGE REFERENCE OPTIONS Wake-Up Time from Power-Down and Snooze Modes The AD7960 allows buffering of the reference voltage. The AD7960 conversions are referred to a 5 V or 4.096 V reference voltage. There are three options for using an external reference. The AD7960 powers down when EN3 to EN0 = X000 and operates in snooze mode when EN3 to EN0 = XX11 using the correct reference choice as shown in Table 8. Typical wake-up times for the selected reference settings from power-down and snooze mode are shown in Table 9 and Table 10. Each wake-up time represents the duration from the EN3 to EN0 logic transition to when the ADC is ready for a CNV± rising edge. For example, the user must wait 1.4 ms from power-down before applying CNV± pulses to receive data conversion results when using REFIN = 0 V. • • • Externally buffered reference source of 5 V applied to the REF pin. Externally buffered reference source of 4.096 V applied to the REF pin. External reference of 2.048 V applied to the REFIN pin (high impedance input). The on-chip buffer gains this by 2 and drives the REF pin with 4.096 V. The recommended external references for the AD7960 are the ADR4520/ADR4540/ADR4550 and ADR440/ADR444/ADR445. The various options for creating this reference are controlled by the EN1 and EN0 pins (see Table 8). The −3 dB input bandwidth is controlled by EN2. EN2 = 0 sets a −3 dB input bandwidth of 28 MHz, and EN2 = 1 sets a −3 dB input bandwidth of 9 MHz. Use this lower bandwidth (9 MHz) only when the sample rate is 2 MSPS or lower. EN3 = 1 enables the VCM reference output, and EN3 = 0 disables the VCM reference output voltage. The best SNR and dynamic range performance is achieved by using the larger 5 V external voltage reference option. The improvement achieved is approximately 1.7 dB and is calculated using the following equation: Table 9.

Drive the EN3 to EN0 pins with a 1.8 V logic level. VIO and VDD2 can be taken from the same 1.8 V source; however, it is best practice to isolate the VIO and VDD2 pins using separate traces as well as to decouple each pin separately. As is best practice for all ADCs, power on the core supplies prior to applying an external reference (where applicable).

Figure 33 shows the PSRR vs. supply frequency of the AD7960. The AD7960 core power scales with throughput as shown in Figure 34, offering significant power budget savings at lower speed operation. When powering up the AD7960 device, first apply 1.8 V (VDD2, VIO) to the device, then ramp 5 V (VDD1). Set the reference configuration pins, EN0, EN1, and EN2, to the correct values. When an internal reference buffer is used (governed by the EN1 and EN0 values), apply the external reference of 2.048 V to the REFIN pin or 5 V/4.096 V to the REF pin. Figure 34.

PSRR vs. Supply Frequency Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 24 Data Sheet AD7960 DIGITAL INTERFACE The clock DCO± is a buffered copy of CLK± and is synchronous to the data, D±, which is updated on the falling edge of DCO± (tD). By maintaining good propagation delay matching between D± and DCO± through the board and the digital host, DCO± can be used to latch D± with good timing margin for the shift register. CONVERSION CONTROL All analog-to-digital conversions are controlled by the CNV± signal. This signal can be applied in the form of a CNV+/CNV− LVDS signal, or it can be applied in the form of a 1.8 V CMOS logic signal to the CNV+ pin when CNV− is grounded. The conversion is initiated by the rising edge of the CNV± signal. Conversions are initiated by a rising edge of the CNV± pulse. The CNV± pulse must be returned low (≤tCNVH maximum) for valid operation. After a conversion begins, it continues until completion. Additional CNV± pulses are ignored during the conversion phase. After tMSB elapses, the host begins to burst the CLK±. Note that tMSB is the maximum time for the MSB of the new conversion result. Use tMSB as the gating device for CLK±. The echoed clock, DCO±, and the data, D±, are driven in phase with D± being updated on the falling edge of DCO±; the host uses the rising edge of DCO± to capture D±. The only requirement is that the 18 CLK± pulses finish before tCLKL of the next conversion phase elapses, or the data is lost. After all 18 bits are read, up to tMSB, D± and DCO± are driven to 0. Set CLK± to idle low between CLK± bursts. After the AD7960 is powered up, the first conversion result generated is valid. The key beneficial feature of the AD7960 is that the user can return to the acquisition phase before the end of the conversion. The two methods for acquiring the digital data output of the AD7960 via the LVDS interface are described in the Echoed Clock Interface Mode and Self Clocked Mode sections. Echoed Clock Interface Mode The digital operation of the AD7960 in echoed clock interface mode is shown in Figure 35. This interface mode, requiring only a shift register on the digital host, can be used with many digital hosts (such as FPGA, shift register, and microprocessor). It requires three LVDS pairs (D±, CLK±, and DCO±) between each AD7960 and the digital host.

The digital operation of the AD7960 in self clocked interface mode is shown in Figure 36. This interface mode reduces the number of traces between the ADC and the digital host to two LVDS pairs (CLK± and D±) or to a single pair if sharing a common CLK±. Multiple AD7960 devices can share a common CLK± signal. This can be useful in reducing the number of LVDS connections to the digital host. Conversions are initiated by a CNV± pulse. The CNV± pulse must be returned low (tCNVH maximum) for valid operation. After a conversion begins, it continues until completion. Additional CNV± pulses are ignored during the conversion phase. After the time, tMSB, elapses, the host begins to burst the CLK± signal to the AD7960. All 20 CLK± pulses must be applied in the window of time framed by tMSB and the subsequent tCLKL. The required 20 CLK± pulses must finish before tCLKL (referenced to the next conversion phase) elapses. Otherwise, the data is lost because it is overwritten by the next conversion result. When the self clocked interface mode is used, each ADC data-word is preceded by a 010 header sequence. After tMSB has elapsed, the first bit of the header, 0, automatically appears on D±, and the remaining two bits of the header, 10, are then clocked out by the first two CLK± falling edges at the beginning of the next sample. This header (010) is used to synchronize D± of each conversion in the digital host because, in this mode, there is no clock output synchronous to the data (D±) to allow the digital host to acquire the data output. Set CLK± to idle high between bursts of 20 CLK± pulses. The header bit and conversion data of the next ADC result are output on subsequent falling edges of CLK± during the next burst of the CLK± signal. Synchronization of the D± data to the acquisition clock of the digital host is accomplished by using one state machine per AD7960 device. For example, using a state machine that runs at the same speed as CLK± incorporates three phases of this clock frequency (120° apart). Each phase acquires the D± data as output by the ADC. When the self clocked interface mode is used, the AD7960 also allows the user to provide an extra (21st) clock pulse to see a guaranteed 0 state at the end of the frame, as shown in Figure 37. After tMSB has elapsed, the first bit of the header sequence, 0, automatically appears on D± and the remaining two bits of the header, 10, are then clocked out by the first two CLK± falling edges at the beginning of the next sample. This header (010) is used to synchronize D± of each conversion in the digital host because, in this mode, there is no clock output synchronous to the data (D±) to allow the digital host to acquire the data output. The AD7960 data captured on each phase of the state machine clock is then compared. The location of the 1 in the header in each set of acquired data allows the user to choose the state machine clock phase that occurs during the data valid window of D±.

Avoid running digital lines under the device because these couple noise onto the device unless a ground plane under the AD7960 is used as a shield. Do not run fast switching signals, such as CNV± or CLK±, near analog signal paths. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Use at least one ground plane. It can be common or split between the digital and analog sections. In the latter case, join the planes underneath the AD7960 devices. The AD7960 voltage reference input pin, REF, has dynamic input impedance. Decouple REF with minimal parasitic inductances by placing the reference decoupling ceramic capacitor close to and, ideally, right up against the REF and REF_GND pins and connecting them with wide, low impedance traces. Finally, decouple the VDD1, VDD2, and VIO power supplies of the AD7960 with ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, placed close to the AD7960 and connected using short, wide traces to provide low impedance paths and to reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. EVALUATING AD7960 PERFORMANCE Other recommended guidelines for the AD7960 schematic and layout are outlined in the user guide of the EVAL-AD7960FMCZ board (UG-490). The fully assembled and tested evaluation board, user guide, and software for controlling the EVALAD7960FMCZ board from a PC via the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z are available from the Analog Devices website at www.analog.com.
