9. Noise Free Resolution listed is for Bipolar operation, and is calculated as LOG((Input Span)/(6.6xRMS
Noise))/LOG(2) rounded to the nearest bit. For Unipolar operation, the input span is 1/2 as large, so one
bit is lost. The input span is calculated in the analog input span section of the data sheet. The Noise
Free Resolution table is computed with a value of 1.0 in the gain register. Values other than 1.0 will
scale the noise, and change the Noise Free Resolution accordingly.
10. “Noise Free Resolution” is not the same as “Effective Resolution”. Effective Resolution is based on the
RMS noise value, while Noise Free Resolution is based on a peak-to-peak noise value specified as 6.6
times the RMS noise value. Effective Resolution is calculated as LOG((Input Span)/(RMS
Noise))/LOG(2).
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

12. The ADCs use a Sinc5 filter for the 3200 Sps and 3840 Sps output word rate (OWR) and a Sinc5 filter
followed by a Sinc3 filter for the other OWRs. OWRsinc5 refers to the 3200 Sps (FRS = 1) or 3840 Sps
(FRS = 0) word rate associated with the Sinc5 filter.
13. The single conversion mode only outputs fully settled conversions. See Table 1 for more details about
single conversion mode timing. OWRSC is used here to designate the different conversion time
associated with single conversions.
14. The continuous conversion mode outputs every conversion. This means that the filter’s settling time
with a full-scale step input in the continuous conversion mode is dictated by the OWR.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CS5530 is a ΔΣ Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC) which uses charge-balance techniques to
achieve 24-bit performance. The ADC is optimized
for measuring low-level unipolar or bipolar signals
in weigh scale, process control, scientific, and medical applications.
To accommodate these applications, the ADC includes a very-low-noise, chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier (12 nV/√Hz @ 0.1 Hz) with a
gain of 64X. This ADC also includes a fourth-order
ΔΣ modulator followed by a digital filter which provides twenty selectable output word rates of 6.25,
7.5, 12.5, 15, 25, 30, 50, 60, 100, 120, 200, 240, 400,
480, 800, 960, 1600, 1920, 3200, and 3840 samples
per second (MCLK = 4.9152 MHz).
To ease communication between the ADCs and a
micro-controller, the converters include a simple
three-wire serial interface which is SPI and Microwire compatible with a Schmitt-trigger input on
the serial clock (SCLK).
2.1 Analog Input
Figure 3 illustrates a block diagram of the CS5530.
The front end includes a chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier with a gain of 64X.
The amplifier is chopper-stabilized and operates with
a chop clock frequency of MCLK/128. The CVF
(sampling) current into the instrumentation amplifier
is typically 1200 pA over
-40°C to +85°C
(MCLK=4.9152 MHz). The common-mode plus signal range of the instrumentation amplifier is (VA-) +
1.6 V to (VA+) - 1.6 V.
Figure 4 illustrates the input model for the 64X amplifier.

2.1.1 Analog Input Span
The full-scale input signal that the converter can digitize is a function of the reference voltage connected
between the VREF+ and VREF- pins. The full-scale
input span of the converter is
((VREF+) – (VREF-))/(64Y), where 64 is the gain
of the amplifier and Y is 2 for VRS = 0, or Y is 1 for
VRS = 1. VRS is the Voltage Reference Select bit,
and must be set according to the differential voltage
applied to the VREF+ and VREF- pins on the part.
See section 2.3.4 for more details.
With a 2.5 V reference, the full-scale biploar input
range is equal to ±2.5/64, or about ±39 mV. Note
that these input ranges assume the calibration registers are set to their default values (i.e. Gain = 1.0 and
Offset = 0.0). The gain setting in the Gain Register
can be altered to map the digital codes of the converter to set full scales from 1 mV to 40 mV.
2.1.2 Voltage Noise Density Performance
Figure 5 illustrates the measured voltage noise density versus frequency from 0.025 Hz to 10 Hz. The
device was powered with ±2.5 V supplies, using
30 Sps OWR, bipolar mode, and with the input
short bit enabled.

2.1.3 No Offset DAC
An offset DAC was not included in the CS5530 because the high dynamic range of the converter
eliminates the need for one. The offset register can
be manipulated by the user to mimic the function of
a DAC if desired.
12
The converter has 32-bit registers to function as the
offset and the gain calibration registers. These registers hold calibration results. The contents of these
registers can be read or written by the user. This allows calibration data to be off-loaded into an external EEPROM. The user can also manipulate the
contents of these registers to modify the offset or
the gain slope of the converter.
The converter includes a 32-bit configuration register which is used for setting options such as the
power down modes, resetting the converter, shorting the analog input, enabling logic outputs, and
other user options.
The following pages document how to initialize the
converter and perform offset and gain calibrations.
Each of the bits of the configuration register is described. Also the Command Register Quick Reference can be used to decode all valid commands (the
first 8-bits into the serial port).

2.2 Overview of ADC Register Structure
and Operating Modes
The CS5530 ADC has an on-chip controller, which
includes a number of user-accessible registers. The
registers are used to hold offset and gain calibration
results, configure the chip's operating modes, hold
conversion instructions, and to store conversion
data words. Figure 6 depicts a block diagram of the
on-chip controller’s internal registers.
The CS5530 provide no power-on-reset function.
To initialize the ADC, the user must perform a software reset via the configuration register. Before
accessing the configuration register, the user must
insure serial port synchronization by using the Serial Port Initialization sequence. This sequence resets the serial port to the command mode and is
accomplished by transmitting at least 15 SYNC1
command bytes (0xFF hexadecimal), followed by
one SYNC0 command (0xFE hexadecimal). Note
that this sequence can be initiated at anytime to
reinitialize the serial port. To complete the system
DS742F2
CS5530
initialization sequence, the user must also perform
a system reset sequence which is as follows: Write
a logic 1 into the RS bit of the configuration register. This will reset the calibration registers and
other logic (but not the serial port). A valid reset
will set the RV bit in the configuration register to a
logic 1. After writing the RS bit to a logic 1, wait
8 master clock cycles, then write the RS bit back to
logic 0. Note that the other bits in the configuration register cannot be written on this write cycle
as they are being held in reset until RS is set back
to logic 0. While this involves writing an entire
word into the configuration register to casue the
RS bit to go to logic 0, the RV bit is a read only bit,
therefore a write to the configuration register will
not overwrite the RV bit. After clearing the RS bit
back to logic 0, read the configuration register to
check the state of the RV bit as this indicates that a
valid reset occurred. Reading the configuration
register clears the RV bit back to logic 0.
Completing the reset cycle initializes the on-chip
registers to the following states:
Configuration Register:
Offset Register:
Gain Register
00000000(H)
00000000(H)
01000000(H)
After the configuration register has been read to
clear the RV bit, the register can then be written to
set the other function bits or other registers can be
written or read.
Once the system initialization or reset is completed, the on-chip controller is initialized into command mode where it waits for a valid command
(the first 8-bits written into the serial port are shifted into the command register). Once a valid command is received and decoded, the byte instructs
the converter to either acquire data from or transfer
data to an internal register, or perform a conversion
or a calibration. The Command Register Descriptions section lists all valid commands.

2.2.3 Serial Port Interface
The CS5530’s serial interface consists of four control lines: CS, SDI, SDO, SCLK. Figure 7 details
the command and data word timing.
CS, Chip Select, is the control line which enables
access to the serial port. If the CS pin is tied low,
the port can function as a three wire interface.
SDI, Serial Data In, is the data signal used to transfer data to the converters.
SDO, Serial Data Out, is the data signal used to
transfer output data from the converters. The SDO
output will be held at high impedance any time CS
is at logic 1.
SCLK, Serial Clock, is the serial bit-clock which
controls the shifting of data to or from the ADC’s
serial port. The CS pin must be held low (logic 0)
before SCLK transitions can be recognized by the
port logic. To accommodate optoisolators SCLK is
designed with a Schmitt-trigger input to allow an
optoisolator with slower rise and fall times to directly drive the pin. Additionally, SDO is capable
of sinking or sourcing up to 5 mA to directly drive
an optoisolator LED. SDO will have less than a 400
mV loss in the drive voltage when sinking or sourcing 5 mA.

2.2.4 Reading/Writing On-Chip Registers
The CS5530’s offset, gain, and configuration registers are readable and writable while the conversion
data register is read only.
As shown in Figure 7, to write to a particular register the user must transmit the appropriate write
command and then follow that command by 32 bits
of data. For example, to write 0x80000000 (hexadecimal) to the gain register, the user would first
transmit the command byte 0x02 (hexadecimal)
followed by the data 0x80000000 (hexadecimal).
Similarly, to read a particular register the user must
transmit the appropriate read command and then
acquire the 32 bits of data. Once a register is written
to or read from, the serial port returns to the command mode.
2.3 Configuration Register
To ease the architectural design and simplify the
serial interface, the configuration register is thirtytwo bits long, however, only fifteen of the thirty
two bits are used. The following sections detail the
bits in the configuration register.
2.3.1 Power Consumption
The CS5530 accommodates three power consumption modes: normal, standby, and sleep. The default
mode, “normal mode”, is entered after power is applied. In this mode, the CS5530 typically consumes
35 mW. The other two modes are referred to as the
power save modes. They power down most of the
analog portion of the chip and stop filter convolutions. The power save modes are entered whenever
the power down (PDW) bit of the configuration
register is set to logic 1. The particular power save
mode entered depends on state of the PSS (Power
Save Select) bit. If PSS is logic 0, the converter enters the standby mode reducing the power consumption to 4 mW. The standby mode leaves the
oscillator and the on-chip bias generator for the analog portion of the chip active. This allows the converter to quickly return to the normal mode once
PDW is set back to a logic 0. If PSS and PDW are
DS742F2
both set to logic 1, the sleep mode is entered reducing the consumed power to around 500 μW. Since
this sleep mode disables the oscillator, approximately a 20 ms oscillator start-up delay period is
required before returning to the normal mode. If an
external clock is used, there will be no delay.
2.3.2 System Reset Sequence
The reset system (RS) bit permits the user to perform a system reset. A system reset can be initiated
at any time by writing a logic 1 to the RS bit in the
configuration register. After the RS bit has been
set, the internal logic of the chip will be initialized
to a reset state. The reset valid (RV) bit is set indicating that the internal logic was properly reset.
The RV bit is cleared after the configuration register is read. The on-chip registers are initialized to
the following default states:
Configuration Register:
Offset Register:
Gain Register
00000000(H)
00000000(H)
01000000(H)
After reset, the RS bit should be written back to
logic 0 to complete the reset cycle. The ADC will
return to the command mode where it waits for a
valid command. Also, the RS bit is the only bit in
the configuration register that can be set when initiating a reset (i.e. a second write command is needed to set other bits in the Configuration Register
after the RS bit has been cleared).
2.3.3 Input Short
The input short bit allows the user to internally
ground the inputs of the ADC. This is a useful function because it allows the user to easily test the
grounded input performance of the ADC and eliminate the noise effects due to the external system
components.
2.3.4 Voltage Reference Select
The voltage reference select (VRS) bit selects the
size of the sampling capacitor used to sample the
voltage reference. The bit should be set based upon

the magnitude of the reference voltage to achieve
optimal performance. Figures 8 and 9 model the effects on the reference’s input impedance and input
current for each VRS setting. As the models show,
the reference includes a coarse/fine charge buffer
which reduces the dynamic current demand of the
external reference.
The reference’s input buffer is designed to accommodate rail-to-rail (common-mode plus signal) input voltages. The differential voltage between the
VREF+ and VREF- can be any voltage from 1.0 V
up to the analog supply (depending on how VRS is
configured), however, the VREF+ cannot go above
VA+ and the VREF- pin can not go below VA-.
Note that the power supplies to the chip should be
established before the reference voltage.
2.3.5 Output Latch Pins
The A1-A0 pins of the ADC mimic the D24-D23
bits of the configuration register. A1-A0 can be
used to control external multiplexers and other logic functions outside the converter. The A1-A0 outputs can sink or source at least 1 mA, but it is
recommended to limit drive currents to less than
20 μA to reduce self-heating of the chip. These outputs are powered from VA+ and VA-. Their output
voltage will be limited to the VA+ voltage for a
logic 1 and VA- for a logic 0. Note that if the latch
bits are used to modify the analog input signal the
user should delay performing a conversion until he
knows the effects of the A0/A1 bits are fully settled.

2.3.6 Filter Rate Select
The Filter Rate Select bit (FRS) modifies the output
word rates of the converter to allow either 50 Hz or
60 Hz rejection when operating from a 4.9152
MHz crystal. If FRS is cleared to logic 0, the word
rates and corresponding filter characteristics can be
selected using the Configuration Register. Rates
can be 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, 960, 1920, or
3840 Sps when using a 4.9152 MHz clock. If FRS
is set to logic 1, the word rates and corresponding
filter characteristics scale by a factor of 5/6, making the selectable word rates 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50,
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 Sps when using
a 4.9152 MHz clock. When using other clock frequencies, these selectable word rates will scale linearly with the clock frequency that is used.
2.3.7 Word Rate Select
The Word Rate Select bits (WR3-WR0) allow slection of the output word rate of the converter as depicted in the Configuration Register Descriptions.
The word rate chosen by the WR3-WR0 bits is
modified by the setting of the FRS bit as presented
in the previous paragraph.
2.3.8 Unipolar/Bipolar Select
The UP/BP Select bit sets the converter to measure
either a unipolar or bipolar input span.
2.3.9 Open Circuit Detect
When the OCD bit is set it activates a current
source as a means to test for open thermocouples.

2.4 Calibration
Calibration is used to set the zero and gain slope of
the ADC’s transfer function. The CS5530 provides
system calibration.
Note:
After the ADC is reset, it is functional and can
perform measurements without being
calibrated (remember that the VRS bit in the
configuration register must be properly
configured). If the converter is operated
without calibraton, the converter will utilize
the initialized values of the on-chip registers
(Offset = 0.0; Gain = 1.0) to calculate output
words. Any initial offset and gain errors in the
internal circuitry of the chip will remain.
the unipolar span, gain register = 1.000...000 decimal). The MSB in the offset register determines if
the offset to be trimmed is positive or negative (0
positive, 1 negative). Note that the magnitude of
the offset that is trimmed from the input is mapped
through the gain register. The converter can typically trim ±100 percent of the input span. As shown
in the Gain Register section, the gain register spans
from 0 to (64 - 2-24). The decimal equivalent meaning of the gain register is

2.4.1 Calibration Registers
The CS5530 converter has an offset register that is
used to set the zero point of the converter’s transfer
function. As shown in Offset Register section, one
LSB in the offset register is 1.835007966 X 2-24
proportion of the input span (bipolar span is 2 times
where the binary numbers have a value of either
zero or one (bD29 is the binary value of bit D29).
While gain register settings of up to 64 - 2-24 are
available, the gain register should never be set to
values above 40.

One LSB represents 1.835007966 X 2-24 proportion of the input span (bipolar span is 2 times unipolar span).
Offset and data word bits align by MSB. After reset, all bits are ‘0’.
The offset register is stored as a 32-bit, two’s complement number, where the last 8 bits are all 0.

CS5530
2.4.4 Performing Calibrations
To perform a calibration, the user must send a command byte with its MSB=1, and the appropriate
calibration bits (CC2-CC0) set to choose the type
of calibration to be performed. The calibration will
be performed using the filter rate, and siganl span
(unipolar or bipolar) as set in the configuration register. The length of time it takes to do a calibration
is slightly less than the amount of time it takes to do
a single conversion (see Table 1 for single conversion timing). Offset calibration takes 608 clock cycles less than a single conversion when FRS = 0,
and 729 clock cycles less when FRS = 1. Gain calibration takes 128 clock cycles less than a single
conversion when FRS = 0, and 153 clock cycles
less when FRS = 1.
Once a calibration cycle is complete, SDO falls and
the results are automatically stored in either the
gain or offset register. SDO will remain low until
the next command word is begun. If additional calibrations are performed while referencing the same
calibration registers, the last calibration results will
replace the effects from the previous calibration.
Only one calibration is performed with each command byte.
2.4.5 System Calibration
For the system calibration functions, the user must
supply the converter input calibration signals which
Figure 10. System Calibration of Offset
22
represent ground and full-scale. When a system offset calibration is performed, a ground referenced signal must be applied to the converter. Figure 10
illustrates system offset calibration.
As shown in Figure 11, the user must input a signal
representing the positive full-scale point to perform
a system gain calibration. In either case, the calibration signals must be within the specified calibration limits for each specific calibration step (refer
to the System Calibration Specifications).
2.4.6 Calibration Tips
Calibration steps are performed at the output word
rate selected by the WR3-WR0 bits of the configuration register. To minimize the effects of peak-topeak noise on the accuracy of calibration the converter should be calibrated using the slowest word
rate that is acceptable. It is recommended that
word rates of 240 Sps and higher not be used for
calibration.) To minimize digital noise near the device, the user should wait for each calibration step
to be completed before reading or writing to the serial port. Reading the calibration registers and averaging multiple calibrations together can produce a
more accurate calibration result. Note that accessing the ADC’s serial port before a calibration has
finished may result in the loss of synchronization
between the microcontroller and the ADC, and may
prematurely halt the calibration cycle.
Figure 11. System Calibration of Gain
DS742F2
CS5530
For maximum accuracy, calibrations should be performed for both offset and gain.
FSCR, margin is again incorporated to accommodate the intrinsic gain error.
When the device is used without calibration, the
uncalibrated gain accuracy is about ±1 percent.
Note that the gain from the offset register to the
output is 1.83007966 decimal, not 1. If a user wants
to adjust the calibration coefficients externally,
they will need to divide the information to be written to the offset register by the scale factor of
1.83007966. (This discussion assumes that the gain
register is 1.000...000 decimal. The offset register
is also multiplied by the gain register before being
applied to the output conversion words).
2.5 Performing Conversions
The CS5530 offers two distinctly different conversion modes. The paragraphs that follow detail the
differences in the conversion modes.
2.4.7 Limitations in Calibration Range
System calibration can be limited by signal headroom in the analog signal path inside the chip as
discussed under the Analog Input section of this
data sheet. For gain calibration, the full-scale input
signal can be reduced to 3% of the nominal fullscale value. At this point, the gain register is approximately equal to 33.33 (decimal). While the
gain register can hold numbers all the way up to
64 - 2-24, gain register settings above a decimal
value of 40 should not be used. With the converter’s intrinsic gain error, this minimum full-scale input signal may be higher or lower. In defining the
minimum full-scale Calibration Range (FSCR) under Analog Characteristics, margin is retained to
accommodate the intrinsic gain error. Inversely, the
input full-scale signal can be increased to a point in
which the modulator reaches its 1’s density limit of
86 percent, which under nominal conditions occurs
when the full-scale input signal is 1.1 times the
nominal full-scale value. With the chip’s intrinsic
gain error, this maximum full-scale input signal
maybe higher or lower. In defining the maximum
DS742F2
2.5.1 Single Conversion Mode
When the user transmits the perform single conversion command, a single, fully settled conversion is
performed using the word rate and polarity selections set in the configuration register. Once the
command byte is transmitted, the serial port enters
data mode where it waits until the conversion is
complete. When the conversion data is available,
SDO falls to logic 0 to act as a flag to indicate that
the data is available. Forty SCLKs are then needed
to read the conversion data word. The first 8
SCLKs are used to clear the SDO flag. During the
first 8 SCLKs, SDI must be logic 0. The last 32
SCLKs are needed to read the conversion result.
Note that the user is forced to read the conversion
in single conversion mode as the serial port will remain in data mode until SCLK transitions 40 times.
After reading the data, the serial port returns to the
command mode, where it waits for a new command
to be issued. The single conversion mode will take
longer than conversions performed in the continuous conversion mode. The number of clock cycles
a single conversion takes for each Output Word
Rate (OWR) setting is listed in Table 1. The ± 8
(FRS = 0) or ± 10 (FRS = 1) clock ambiguity is due
to internal synchronization between the SCLK input and the oscillator.
Note:
In the single conversion mode, more than one
conversion is actually performed, but only the
final, fully settled result is output to the
conversion data register.

SCLKs are required to clock out the last conversion
before the converter returns to command mode.
The number of clock cycles a continuous conversion takes for each Output Word Setting is listed in
Table 2. The first conversion from the part in continuous conversion mode will be longer than the
following conversions due to start-up overhead.
The ± 8 (FRS = 0) or ± 10 (FRS = 1) clock ambiguity is due to internal synchronization between the
SCLK input and the oscillator.
Note:
2.5.2 Continuous Conversion Mode
When the user transmits the perform continuous
conversion command, the converter begins continuous conversions using the word rate and polarity
selections set in the configuration register. Once
the command byte is transmitted, the serial port enters data mode where it waits until a conversion is
complete. After the conversion is done, SDO falls
to logic 0 to act as a flag to indicate that the data is
available. Forty SCLKs are then needed to read the
conversion. The first 8 SCLKs are used to clear the
SDO flag. The last 32 SCLKs are needed to read
the conversion result. If ‘00000000’ is provided to
SDI during the first 8 SCLKs when the SDO flag is
cleared, the converter remains in this conversion
mode and continues to convert using the same word
rate and polarity information. In continuous conversion mode, not every conversion word needs to
be read. The user needs only to read the conversion
words required for the application as SDO rises and
falls to indicate the availability of new conversion
data. Note that if a conversion is not read before the
next conversion data becomes available, it will be
lost and replaced by the new conversion data. To
exit this conversion mode, the user must provide
‘11111111’ to the SDI pin during the first 8 SCLKs
after SDO falls. If the user decides to exit, 32
24
When changing channels, or after performing
calibrations and/or single conversions, the
user must ignore the first three (for OWRs
less than 3200 Sps, MCLK = 4.9152 MHz) or
first five (for OWR ≥ 3200 Sps) conversions in
continuous conversion mode, as residual
filter coefficients must be flushed from the
filter before accurate conversions are
performed.

2.6 Using Multiple ADCs Synchronously
Some applications require synchronous data outputs from multiple ADCs converting different analog channels. Multiple CS5530 devices can be
synchronized in a single system by using the following guidelines:
1) All of the ADCs in the system must be operated
from the same oscillator source.
2) All of the ADCs in the system must share common SCLK and SDI lines.
3) A software reset must be performed at the same
time for all of the ADCs after system power-up (by
selecting all of the ADCs using their respective CS
pins, and writing the reset sequence to all parts, using SDI and SCLK).
4) A start conversion command must be sent to all
of the ADCs in the system at the same time. The ±
8 clock cycles of ambiguity for the first conversion
(or for a single conversion) will be the same for all
ADCs, provided that they were all reset at the same
time.
5) Conversions can be obtained by monitoring
SDO on only one ADC, (bring CS high for all but
one part) and reading the data out of each part individually, before the next conversion data words are
ready.
An example of a synchronous system using two
CS5530 devices is shown in Figure 12.
2.7 Conversion Output Coding
The CS5530 outputs 24-bit data conversion words.
To read a conversion word the user must read the
conversion data register. The conversion data register is 32 bits long and outputs the conversions
MSB first. The last byte of the conversion data register contains an overflow flag bit. The overrange
flag (OF) monitors to determine if a valid conversion was performed.

2.8 Digital Filter
The CS5530 has a linear phase digital filter which
is programmed to achieve a range of output word
rates (OWRs) as stated in the Configuration Register Description section. The ADC uses a Sinc5 digital filter to output word rates at 3200 Sps and 3840
Sps (MCLK = 4.9152 MHz). Other output word
rates are achieved by using the Sinc5 filter followed
by a Sinc3 filter with a programmable decimation
rate.Figure 13 shows the magnitude response of the
60 Sps filter, while Figures 14 and 15 show the
magnitude and phase response of the filter at 120
Sps. The Sinc3 is active for all output word rates
0
FRS = 0
except for the 3200 Sps and 3840 Sps (MCLK =
4.9152 MHz) rate. The Z-transforms of the two filters are shown in Figure 16. For the Sinc3 filter,
“D” is the programmable decimation ratio, which is
equal to 3840/OWR when FRS = 0 and 3200/OWR
when FRS = 1.
The converter’s digital filters scale with MCLK.
For example, with an output word rate of 120 Sps,
the filter’s corner frequency is at 31 Hz. If MCLK
is increased to 5.0 MHz, the OWR increases by
1.0175 percent and the filter’s corner frequency
moves to 31.54 Hz. Note that the converter is not
specified to run at MCLK clock frequencies greater
than 5 MHz.

2.9 Clock Generator
The CS5530 includes an on-chip inverting amplifier which can be connected with an external crystal
to provide the master clock for the chip. Figure 17
illustrates the on-chip oscillator. It includes loading
capacitors and a feedback resistor to form a Pierce
oscillator configuration. The chips are designed to
operate using a 4.9152 MHz crystal; however, other crystals with frequencies between 1 MHz to 5
MHz can be used. One lead of the crystal should be
connected to OSC1 and the other to OSC2. Lead
lengths should be minimized to reduce stray capacitance. Note that while using the on-chip oscillator,
neither OSC1 or OSC2 is capable of directly driving any off chip logic. When the on-chip oscillator
is used, the voltage on OSC2 is typically 1/2 V
peak-to-peak. This signal is not compatible with
external logic unless additional external circuitry is
added. The OSC2 output should be used if the onchip oscillator output is used to drive other circuitry.
The designer can use an external CMOS compatible oscillator to drive OSC2 with a 1 MHz to 5
MHz clock for the ADC. The external clock into
OSC2 must overdrive the 60 microampere output
of the on-chip amplifier. This will not harm the onchip circuitry. In this scheme, OSC1 should be left
unconnected.
2.10 Power Supply Arrangements
The CS5530 is designed to operate from single or
dual analog supplies and a single digital supply.
The following power supply connections are possible:
VA+ = +5 V; VA- = 0 V; VD+ = +3 V to +5 V
VA+ = +2.5 V; VA- = -2.5 V; VD+ = +3 V to +5 V
VA+ = +3 V; VA- = -3 V; VD+ = +3 V
A VA+ supply of +2.5 V, +3.0 V, or +5.0 V should
be maintained at ±5% tolerance. A VA- supply of
-2.5 V or -3.0 V should be maintained at ±5% tolerance. VD+ can extend from +2.7 V to +5.5 V
with the additional restriction that [(VD+) - (VA-)
< 7.5 V].
Figure 18 illustrates the CS5530 connected with a
single +5.0 V supply to measure differential inputs
relative to a common mode of 2.5 V. Figure 19 illustrates the CS5530 connected with ±2.5 V bipolar
analog supplies and a +3 V to +5 V digital supply
to measure ground referenced bipolar signals. Figures 20 illustrates the CS5532 connected with ±3 V
analog supplies and a +3 V digital supply to measure ground referenced bipolar signals.

2.11 Getting Started
This A/D converter has several features. From a
software programmer’s prospective, what should
be done first? To begin, a 4.9152 MHz or 4.096
MHz crystal takes approximately 20 ms to start. To
accommodate for this, it is recommended that a
software delay of approximately 20 ms be inserted
before the start of the processor’s ADC initialization code. Next, since the CS5530 does not provide
a power-on-reset function, the user must first initialize the ADC to a known state. This is accomplished by resetting the ADC’s serial port with the
Serial Port Initialization sequence. This sequence
resets the serial port to the command mode and is
accomplished by transmitting 15 SYNC1 command bytes (0xFF hexadecimal), followed by one
SYNC0 command (0xFE hexadecimal). Once the
serial port of the ADC is in the command mode, the
user must reset all the internal logic by performing
a system reset sequence (see 2.3.2 System Reset
DS742F2
Sequence). After the converter is properly reset,
the configuration register bits should be configured
as appropriate, for example, the voltage reference
selection, word rate, signal polarity(unipolar or bipolar) should be configured.
Calibrations or conversions can then be performed
as appropriate.
2.12 PCB Layout
For optimal performance, the CS5530 should be
placed entirely over an analog ground plane. All
grounded pins on the ADC, including the DGND
pin, should be connected to the analog ground
plane that runs beneath the chip. In a split-plane
system, place the analog-digital plane split immediately adjacent to the digital portion of the chip.

An inverting amplifier inside the chip is connected between these pins and can be used with a

clock (powered relative to VD+) can be supplied into the OSC2 pin to provide the master clock
for the device.
Control Pins and Serial Data I/O
CS – Chip Select
When active low, the port will recognize SCLK. When high the SDO pin will output a high
impedance state. CS should be changed when SCLK = 0.
SDI – Serial Data Input
SDI is the input pin of the serial input port. Data will be input at a rate determined by SCLK.
SDO – Serial Data Output
SDO is the serial data output. It will output a high impedance state if CS = 1.
SCLK – Serial Clock Input
A clock signal on this pin determines the input/output rate of the data for the SDI/SDO pins
respectively. This input is a Schmitt trigger to allow for slow rise time signals. The SCLK pin
will recognize clocks only when CS is low.
A0 – Logic Output (Analog), A1 – Logic Output (Analog)
