GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MP3276 is a complete 16-channel, 12-bit Data Acquisition Subsystem with 3-state output buffers for direct interfacing
to 16-bit microprocessor buses. Implemented using an advanced BiCMOS process, the converter combines a 16-channel
passive overvoltage protected multiplexer instrumentation amp,
a sample & hold, a SAR, a 12-bit decoded D/A, a comparator, a
precision reference and the control logic to achieve an accurate
repeated conversion in less than 15µs, and a mux/instrumentation amp settling period of less than 10µs.
for an overvoltage condition on unselected channels without disrupting the measured channel or operation of the MP3276! The
internal 4 V reference has sufficient output current to provide
other system reference needs. Precision thin film scaling and
offset resistors are laser trimmed to provide for less than 2 LSB
INL for +10 V inputs on all channels.
In addition, the MP3276 will output either full scale (0111 ....)
for overrange and – full scale (1000....) for underrange conditions. This greatly simplifies microprocessor software development.
A unique input design provides input overvoltage protection
to 50 V over the supply voltages. The circuit design can allow

MP3276
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Basic Description
The MP3276 is a fault protected data acquisition subsystem
available in monolithic form. This product contains all of the circuitry necessary to acquire 16 channels of quasi differential or
single-ended analog signals at 10 V input range and 15kHz
bandwidth. Connections to power, the analog input signals and
the digital system are all that is required. The MP3276’s input
circuitry is protected against active input signals present with the
MP3276 power off. This is also the case for any channel exceed-
ing the MP3276 analog input dynamic range without interfering
with the channel being digitized. The channel address and
channel conversion can be managed in two ways: random
channel conversion or same channel conversion. Circuitry on
the chip adds a MUX/instrumentation amp settling (STL) delay
of 10µs max, when a new channel is selected (ADEN = 1). Conversion start is initiated without delay for the single-channel case
(ADEN = 0). Data is available in either parallel or serial format.
TIMING
Control and Timing Considerations – Parallel Mode (PXS = 1)
The MP3276 can be operated in the stand-alone mode, with
one line for control and everything else hard-wired; or under microprocessor control, where changes can be made dynamically.
There are 4 control lines: ADEN, CS, WR, and RD with their
functions described in Table 1.

Note 1: If RD = 1, data outputs remain high impedance. It is recommended that RD will not change during a conversion in order to reduce noise. It is further recommended that RD = 1 during conversion to reject any noise present on
the data bus.

MP3276
The MP3276 is easily interfaced to a wide variety of microprocessors and other digital systems. Discussion of the timing requirements of the MP3276 control signals follows.
2. ADEN = 0. At the falling edge of WR the data present at the
address is ignored and the channel selected during the previous conversion remains selected. In this case the track
and hold settling time is omitted and STL never goes high. At
the rising edge of WR the input signal is sampled, and conversion is started.
Figure 1. shows a complete timing diagram for the MP3276
convert start operation.
Either WR or CS may be used to initiate a conversion. We
recommend using WR as used in Figure 1. It is quieter and has
less propagation delay than CS. If CS is used to trigger the conversion the specified set-up times will be longer.
There are two possible states that the data outputs could be in
during a conversion.
1. If RD is held high during a conversion the outputs would remain high impedance throughout the conversion. This is the
preferred method of operation as any noise present on the
data bus is rejected.
A conversion is started by taking WR low, then high again
(conversion is enabled on the rising edge of WR). There are two
possible conditions that will affect conversion timing.
2. If RD and CS are held low during a conversion, the data present will be from the previous conversion until the present
conversion is completed when STS returns low. The data
from the new conversion will appear on the outputs. The
state of RD or CS should not change during a conversion.
1. ADEN = 1. At the falling edge of WR, the input channel is
determined by the data present on the address bits. The
track and hold begins to settle after which STL returns low,
indicating that the multiplexer and the buffer amp have settled to less than 1/2 LSB of final value. If the rising edge of
WR returns high prior to STL going low, conversion will begin
on the falling edge of STL. If the rising edge of WR is delayed
until after STL returns low, the input signal is sampled and
the conversion is started at the rising edge of WR giving the
user better control of the sampling time.

Once a conversion is started and the STL or STS line goes
high, convert start commands will be ignored until the conversion cycle is completed. The output data buffers cannot be enabled during conversion. In addition, all inputs and outputs
which change during conversion can introduce noise, and
should be avoided when possible.

Serial Data Output Mode (PXS = 0)
The MP3276 output data is available in serial form when PXS
= 0 prior to the RD high-to-low transition. When PXS = 0, the
DB11/SDO pin functions as the serial data output. The
DB0/SDC pin functions as the serial clock input and all other
data outputs are 3-stated.
The control pin functions (ADEN, CS, WR, and RD) are the
same as the parallel mode of operation. Further information regarding serial control and timing is shown in Figure 6., Table 4.
and Table 5.
For a minimum interconnect serial environment, the channel
address state can be generated in at least two ways, using an
address counter, or using an address serial to parallel converter.
WR can then be used as the counter clock or shift register load
signal as well as the A/D converter start convert signal on the rising edge. (Note that the falling edge loads the address present at
the address port.)
The serial data output sequence is MSB (DB11) first to LSB
(DB0) last. The MSB (DB11) data bit appears at DB11/SDO
when STS goes low. The second most significant bit appears at
DB11/SDO on the next DB0/SDC high-to-low transition. The
LSB (DB0) is present at DB11/SDO on the 11th SDC high-to-low
transition.

SDC should be in a high state during the STS high period. SDC can make the first high to low transition after t21. In normal use it is
assumed that PXS is hardwired low. However, if the mode of operation is changed, PXS must go low prior to RD going low.

Note 1: If RD = 1, data outputs remain high impedance. It is recommended that RD will not change during a conversion in order to reduce noise. It is further recommended that RD = 1 during conversion to reject any noise present on
the data bus.

MP3276
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The MP3276 is a complete A/D converter system, with its
own built-in reference and clock. It may be used by itself (“standalone” operation), or it may be interfaced with a microprocessor
which can control both conversion and formatting of output.
imperative that RD or WR not change during a conversion to insure that errors will not occur.
Ground Reference
Successful application of the MP3276 requires careful attention to four main areas:
1)
2)
3)
4)
The ground reference pin can be used for remote ground
sensing of a common mode input signal with a maximum 6 V p-p
around AGND.
Physical layout.
Connection/Trimming according to mode of operation.
Conditioning of input signals.
Control and Timing considerations.
This common input can also be used to dither each input’s
“zero”. By averaging multiple conversions digitally, higher resolution for each input conversion can be obtained. Patterns for
this dither can be a ramp, a stair step, or white noise.
Physical Layout
The 12-bit accuracy of the MP3276 represents a dynamic
range of 72dB. Precautions must be taken to avoid any interfering signals, whether conducted or radiated, to assure that this is
not degraded.

COMP
Avoid placing the chip and its analog signals near logic
traces. In general, using a double sided printed circuit
card with a good ground plane on the component side is
recommended. Routing analog signals between ground
traces will help isolate digital control logic. If these lines
cross, do so at right angles. The GND Ref. is the positive
terminal of the MUX/Instrumentation amplifier and will
provide common mode noise rejection. It should be
close to and shielded together with the channel inputs in
order to take advantage of this feature.

Power supplies should be quiet and well regulated.
Grounds should be tied together at the package and
back to the system ground with a single path. Bypass the
supplies at the device with a 0.01 to 0.1µF ceramic cap
and a 10-47 µF tantalum type, in parallel.

Quasi Differential Sampling
Method 1
For remote ground sensing where the remote ground does
not change more than 3 V from the A/D ground, connect GND
Ref to the remote ground.
“Stand-Alone” Operation
The MP3276 can be used in “stand-alone” operation, which is
useful in systems not requiring full computer bus interface capability. This operation is available for either parallel or serial mode.
Method 2
Where Method 1 applies to each channel or group of channels, add a mux to allow connecting the appropriate ground to
GND Ref.
For this operation, CS = 0, ADEN = 1, and conversion is controlled by WR. The 3-state buffers are enabled when RD goes
low. There are two possible conditions that the 3-state buffers
could be in during a conversion. If RD goes low prior to WR, the
output buffers are enabled and the data from the previous conversion is available at the outputs during STL = 1. At the end of
the present conversion which is initiated at the rising edge of
WR, STS returns low and the new conversion result is placed on
the output data buffers.
Method 3
Use two parts. Tie both GND Ref pins together and connect
this node to the “common” remote GND. Control the sample
point by connecting each STL through an “OR” gate whose output is “NAND” connect with WR (inverted WR). Use this output
as WR to both WR inputs. By controlling the WR, sample delay
differences between the two converters is minimized. Two parts
from the same date code will further minimize this difference.
Treat one A/D as the (+) terminal and the other as the (–) terminal of the differential signal. Now the difference can be taken
digitally.
If WR goes low prior to RD, the data buffers remain in a high
impedance state and conversion is initiated at the rising edge of
WR. Upon the end of the conversion the STS returns low and
the conversion result is placed on the output data buffers. It is
