The ADS8684A and ADS8688A are 4- and 8channel, integrated data acquisition systems based
on a 16-bit successive approximation (SAR) analogto-digital converter (ADC), operating at a throughput
of 500 kSPS. The devices feature integrated analog
front-end circuitry for each input channel with
overvoltage protection up to ±20 V, a 4- or 8-channel
multiplexer with automatic and manual scanning
modes, and an on-chip, 4.096-V reference with low
temperature drift. Operating on a single 5-V analog
supply, each input channel on the devices can
support true bipolar input ranges of ±10.24 V,
±5.12 V, ±2.56 V, ±1.28V and ±0.64V, as well as
unipolar input ranges of 0 V to 10.24 V, 0 V to 5.12 V,
0 V to 2.56 V and 0 V to 1.28 V. The gain of the
analog front-end for all input ranges is accurately
trimmed to ensure a high dc precision. The input
range selection is software-programmable and
independent for each channel. The devices offer a
1-MΩ constant resistive input impedance irrespective
of the selected input range.

Calculated on the first nine harmonics of the input frequency.
Isolation crosstalk is measured by applying a full-scale sinusoidal signal up to 10 kHz to a channel, not selected in the multiplexing
sequence, and measuring its effect on the output of any selected channel.
Memory crosstalk is measured by applying a full-scale sinusoidal signal up to 10 kHz to a channel that is selected in the multiplexing
sequence, and measuring its effect on the output of the next selected channel for all combinations of input channels.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A are 16-bit data acquisition systems with 4- and 8-channel analog inputs,
respectively. Each analog input channel consists of an overvoltage protection circuit, a programmable gain
amplifier (PGA), and a second-order, antialiasing filter that conditions the input signal before being fed into a 4or 8-channel analog multiplexer (MUX). The output of the MUX is digitized using a 16-bit analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. This overall system can
achieve a maximum throughput of 500 kSPS, combined across all channels. The devices feature a 4.096-V
internal reference with a fast-settling buffer and a simple SPI-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain (DAISY)
and ALARM features.
The devices operate from a single 5-V analog supply and can accommodate true bipolar input signals up to
±2.5 × VREF. The devices offer a constant 1-MΩ resistive input impedance irrespective of the sampling frequency
or the selected input range. The integration of multichannel precision analog front-end circuits with high input
impedance and a precision ADC operating from a single 5-V supply offers a simplified end solution without
requiring external high-voltage bipolar supplies and complicated driver circuits.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Analog Inputs
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A have either four or eight analog input channels, respectively, such that the
positive inputs AIN_nP (n = 0 to 3 or 7) are the single-ended analog inputs and the negative inputs AIN_nGND
are tied to GND. Figure 67 shows the simplified circuit schematic for each analog input channel, including the
input overvoltage protection circuit, PGA, low-pass filter (LPF), high-speed ADC driver, and analog multiplexer.

Figure 67. Front-End Circuit Schematic for Each Analog Input Channel
The devices can support multiple unipolar or bipolar, single-ended input voltage ranges based on the
configuration of the program registers. As explained in the Range Select Registers section, the input voltage
range for each analog channel can be configured to bipolar ±2.5 × VREF, ±1.25 × VREF, ±0.625 × VREF, ±0.3125 ×
VREF, and ±0.15625 × VREF or unipolar 0 to 2.5 × VREF, 0 to 1.25 × VREF, 0 to 0.625 × VREF, and 0 to 0.3125 ×
VREF. With the internal or external reference voltage set to 4.096 V, the input ranges of the device can be
configured to bipolar ranges of ±10.24 V, ±5.12 V, ±2.56 V, ±1.28 V, and ±0.64 V or unipolar ranges of 0 V to
10.24 V, 0 V to 5.12 V, 0 V to 2.56 V, and 0 V to 1.28 V. Any of these input ranges can be assigned to any
analog input channel of the device. For instance, the ±2.5 × VREF range can be assigned to AIN_1P, the ±1.25 ×
VREF range can be assigned to AIN_2P, the 0 V to 2.5 × VREF range can be assigned to AIN_3P, and so forth.
The devices sample the voltage difference (AIN_nP – AIN_nGND) between the selected analog input channel
and the AIN_nGND pin. The devices allow a ±0.1-V range on the AIN_nGND pin for all analog input channels.
This feature is useful in modular systems where the sensor or signal-conditioning block is further away from the
ADC on the board and when a difference in the ground potential of the sensor or signal conditioner from the ADC
ground is possible. In such cases, running separate wires from the AIN_nGND pin of the device to the sensor or
signal-conditioning ground is recommended.
If the analog input pins (AIN_nP) to the devices are left floating, the output of the ADC corresponds to an internal
biasing voltage. The output from the ADC must be considered as invalid if the devices are operated with floating
input pins. This condition does not cause any damage to the devices, which are fully functional when a valid
input voltage is applied to the pins.
8.3.2 Analog Input Impedance
Each analog input channel in the device presents a constant resistive impedance of 1 MΩ. The input impedance
is independent of either the ADC sampling frequency, the input signal frequency, or range. The primary
advantage of such high-impedance inputs is the ease of driving the ADC inputs without requiring driving
amplifiers with low output impedance. Bipolar, high-voltage power supplies are not required in the system
because this ADC does not require any high-voltage front-end drivers. In most applications, the signal sources or
sensor outputs can be directly connected to the ADC input, thus significantly simplifying the design of the signal
chain.
In order to maintain the dc accuracy of the system, matching the external source impedance on the AIN_nP input
pin with an equivalent resistance on the AIN_nGND pin is recommended. This matching helps to cancel any
additional offset error contributed by the external resistance.

8.3.3 Input Overvoltage Protection Circuit
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A feature an internal overvoltage protection circuit on each of the four or eight
analog input channels, respectively. Use these protection circuits as a secondary protection scheme to protect
the device. Using external protection devices against surges, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and electrical fast
transient (EFT) conditions is highly recommended. The conceptual block diagram of the internal overvoltage
protection (OVP) circuit is shown in Figure 68.

Figure 68. Input Overvoltage Protection Circuit Schematic
As shown in Figure 68, the combination of the 1-MΩ input resistors along with the PGA gain-setting resistors
(RFB and RDC) limit the current flowing into the input pins. A combination of antiparallel diodes (D1 and D2) are
added on each input pin to protect the internal circuitry and set the overvoltage protection limits.
Table 1 explains the various operating conditions for the device when the device is powered on. Table 1
indicates that when the AVDD pin of the device is connected to the proper supply voltage (AVDD = 5 V) or offers
a low impedance of < 30 kΩ, the internal overvoltage protection circuit can withstand up to ±20 V on the analog
input pins.

GND = 0, AIN_nGND = 0 V, |VRANGE| is the maximum input voltage for any selected input range, and |VOVP| is the break-down voltage
for the internal OVP circuit. Assume that RS is approximately 0.
The results indicated in Table 1 are based on an assumption that the analog input pins are driven by very low
impedance sources (RS is approximately 0). However, if the sources driving the inputs have higher impedance,
the current flowing through the protection diodes reduces further, thereby increasing the OVP voltage range.
Note that higher source impedance results in gain errors and contributes to overall system noise performance.

Figure 69 shows the voltage versus current response of the internal overvoltage protection circuit when the
device is powered on. According to this current-to-voltage (I-V) response, the current flowing into the device input
pins is limited by the 1-MΩ input impedance. However, for voltages beyond ±20 V, the internal node voltages
surpass the break-down voltage for internal transistors, thus setting the limit for overvoltage protection on the
input pins.
The same overvoltage protection circuit also provides protection to the device when the device is not powered on
and AVDD is floating with an impedance > 30 kΩ. This condition can arise when the input signals are applied
before the ADC is fully powered on. The overvoltage protection limits for this condition are shown in Table 2.

8.3.4 Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
The devices offer a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) at each individual analog input channel, which converts
the original single-ended input signal into a fully-differential signal to drive the internal 16-bit ADC. The PGA also
adjusts the common-mode level of the input signal before being fed into the ADC to ensure maximum usage of
the ADC input dynamic range. Depending on the range of the input signal, the PGA gain can be accordingly
adjusted by setting the Range_CHn[3:0] (n = 0 to 3 or 7) bits in the program register. The default or power-on
state for the Range_CHn[3:0] bits is 0000, which corresponds to an input signal range of ±2.5 × VREF. Table 3
lists the various configurations of the Range_CHn[3:0] bits for the different analog input voltage ranges.
The PGA uses a very highly-matched network of resistors for multiple gain configurations. Matching between
these resistors and the amplifiers across all channels is accurately trimmed to keep the overall gain error low
across all channels and input ranges.

8.3.5 Second-Order, Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
In order to mitigate the noise of the front-end amplifiers and gain resistors of the PGA, each analog input channel
of the ADS8684A and ADS8688A features a second-order, antialiasing LPF at the output of the PGA. The
magnitude and phase response of the analog antialiasing filter are shown in Figure 71 and Figure 72,
respectively. For maximum performance, the –3-dB cutoff frequency for the antialiasing filter is typically set to
15 kHz. The performance of the filter is consistent across all input ranges supported by the ADC.

8.3.6 ADC Driver
In order to meet the performance of a 16-bit, SAR ADC at the maximum sampling rate (500 kSPS), the sampleand-hold capacitors at the input of the ADC must be successfully charged and discharged during the acquisition
time window. This drive requirement at the inputs of the ADC necessitates the use of a high-bandwidth, lownoise, and stable amplifier buffer. Such an input driver is integrated in the front-end signal path of each analog
input channel of the device. During transition from one channel of the multiplexer to another channel, the fast
integrated driver ensures that the multiplexer output settles to a 16-bit accuracy within the acquisition time of the
ADC, irrespective of the input levels on the respective channels.
8.3.7 Multiplexer (MUX)
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A feature an integrated 4- and 8-channel analog multiplexer, respectively. For
each analog input channel, the voltage difference between the positive analog input AIN_nP and the negative
ground input AIN_nGND is conditioned by the analog front-end circuitry before being fed into the multiplexer. The
output of the multiplexer is directly sampled by the ADC. The multiplexer in the device can scan these analog
inputs in either manual or auto-scan mode, as explained in the Channel Sequencing Modes section. In manual
mode (MAN_Ch_n), the channel is selected for every sample via a register write; in auto-scan mode
(AUTO_RST), the channel number is incremented automatically on every CS falling edge after the present
channel is sampled. The analog inputs can be selected for an auto scan with register settings (see the AutoScan Sequencing Control Registers section). The devices automatically scan only the selected analog inputs in
ascending order.
The maximum overall throughput for the ADS8684A and ADS8688A is specified at 500 kSPS across all
channels. The per channel throughput is dependent on the number of channels selected in the multiplexer
scanning sequence. For example, the throughput per channel is equal to 250 kSPS if only two channels are
selected, but is equal to 125 kSPS per channel if four channels are selected (as in the ADS8684A), and so forth.
See Table 6 for command register settings to switch between the auto-scan mode and manual mode for
individual analog channels.
8.3.8 Reference
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A can operate with either an internal voltage reference or an external voltage
reference using the internal buffer. The internal or external reference selection is determined by an external
REFSEL pin. The devices have a built-in buffer amplifier to drive the actual reference input of the internal ADC
core for maximizing performance.

8.3.8.1 Internal Reference
The devices have an internal 4.096-V (nominal value) reference. In order to select the internal reference, the
REFSEL pin must be tied low or connected to AGND. When the internal reference is used, REFIO (pin 5)
becomes an output pin with the internal reference value. Placing a 10-µF (minimum) decoupling capacitor
between the REFIO pin and REFGND (pin 6) is recommended, as shown in Figure 73. The capacitor must be
placed as close to the REFIO pin as possible. The output impedance of the internal band-gap circuit creates a
low-pass filter with this capacitor to band-limit the noise of the reference. The use of a smaller capacitor value
allows higher reference noise in the system, thus degrading SNR and SINAD performance. Do not use the
REFIO pin to drive external ac or dc loads because REFIO has limited current output capability. The REFIO pin
can be used as a source if followed by a suitable op amp buffer (such as the OPA320).

The initial accuracy specification for the internal reference can be degraded if the die is exposed to any
mechanical or thermal stress. Heating the device when being soldered to a PCB and any subsequent solder
reflow is a primary cause for shifts in the VREF value. The main cause of thermal hysteresis is a change in die
stress and therefore is a function of the package, die-attach material, and molding compound, as well as the
layout of the device itself.
In order to illustrate this effect, 80 devices were soldered using lead-free solder paste with the manufacturer's
suggested reflow profile, as explained in application report SNOA550. The internal voltage reference output is
measured before and after the reflow process and the typical shift in value is shown in Figure 75. Although all
tested units exhibit a positive shift in their output voltages, negative shifts are also possible. Note that the
histogram in Figure 75 shows the typical shift for exposure to a single reflow profile. Exposure to multiple reflows,
which is common on PCBs with surface-mount components on both sides, causes additional shifts in the output
voltage. If the PCB is to be exposed to multiple reflows, solder the ADS8684A and ADS8688A in the second
pass to minimize device exposure to thermal stress.

The internal reference is also temperature compensated to provide excellent temperature drift over an extended
industrial temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. Figure 76 shows the variation of the internal reference voltage
across temperature for different values of the AVDD supply voltage. The typical specified value of the reference
voltage drift over temperature is 6 ppm/°C (Figure 77) and the maximum specified temperature drift is equal to
10 ppm/°C.

8.3.8.2 External Reference
For applications that require a better reference voltage or a common reference voltage for multiple devices, the
ADS8684A and ADS8688A offer a provision to use an external reference along with an internal buffer to drive
the ADC reference pin. In order to select the external reference mode, either tie the REFSEL pin high or connect
this pin to the DVDD supply. In this mode, an external 4.096-V reference must be applied at REFIO (pin 5),
which becomes an input pin. Any low-power, low-drift, or small-size external reference can be used in this mode
because the internal buffer is optimally designed to handle the dynamic loading on the REFCAP pin, which is

The output of the internal reference buffer appears at the REFCAP pin. A minimum capacitance of 10 µF must
be placed between REFCAP (pin 7) and REFGND (pin 6). Place another capacitor of 1 µF as close to the
REFCAP pin as possible for decoupling high-frequency signals. Do not use the internal buffer to drive external ac
or dc loads because of the limited current output capability of this buffer.

The performance of the internal buffer output is very stable across the entire operating temperature range of
–40°C to 125°C. Figure 79 shows the variation in the REFCAP output across temperature for different values of
the AVDD supply voltage. The typical specified value of the reference buffer drift over temperature is 1 ppm/°C
(Figure 80) and the maximum specified temperature drift is equal to 1.5 ppm/°C.

8.3.9 Auxiliary Channel
The devices include a single-ended auxiliary input channel (AUX_IN and AUX_GND). The AUX channel provides
direct interface to an internal, high-precision, 16-bit ADC through the multiplexer because this channel does not
include the front-end analog signal conditioning that the other analog input channels have. The AUX channel
supports a single unipolar input range of 0 V to VREF because there is no front-end PGA. The input signal on the
AUX_IN pin can vary from 0 V to VREF, whereas the AUX_GND pin must be tied to GND.
When a conversion is initiated, the voltage between these pins is sampled directly on an internal sampling
capacitor (75 pF, typical). The input current required to charge the sampling capacitor is determined by several
factors, including the sampling rate, input frequency, and source impedance. For slow applications that use a
low-impedance source, the inputs of the AUX channel can be directly driven. When the throughput, input
frequency, or the source impedance increases, a driving amplifier must be used at the input to achieve good ac
performance from the AUX channel. Some key requirements of the driving amplifier are discussed in the Input
Driver for the AUX Channel section.

8.3.9.1 Input Driver for the AUX Channel
For applications that use the AUX input channels at high throughput and high input frequency, a driving amplifier
with low output impedance is required to meet the ac performance of the internal 16-bit ADC. Some key
specifications of the input driving amplifier are discussed below:
• Small-signal bandwidth. The small-signal bandwidth of the input driving amplifier must be much higher than
the bandwidth of the AUX input to ensure that there is no attenuation of the input signal resulting from the
bandwidth limitation of the amplifier. In a typical data acquisition system, a low cut-off frequency, antialiasing
filter is used at the inputs of a high-resolution ADC. The amplifier driving the antialiasing filter must have a low
closed-loop output impedance for stability, thus implying a higher gain bandwidth for the amplifier. Higher
small-signal bandwidth also minimizes the harmonic distortion at higher input frequencies. In general, the
amplifier bandwidth requirements can be calculated on the basis of Equation 1.
GBW t 4 u f3 dB
where:
•
f–3dB is the 3-dB bandwidth of the RC filter.
(1)
•
Distortion. In order to achieve the distortion performance of the AUX channel, the distortion of the input driver
must be at least 10 dB lower than the specified distortion of the internal ADC, as shown in Equation 2.
THDAMP d THDADC 10 dB
(2)
•
Noise. Careful considerations must be made to select a low-noise, front-end amplifier in order to prevent any
degradation in SNR performance of the system. As a rule of thumb, to ensure that the noise performance of
the data acquisition system is not limited by the front-end circuit, keep the total noise contribution from the
front-end circuit below 20% of the input-referred noise of the ADC. Noise from the input driver circuit is bandlimited by the low cut-off frequency of the input antialiasing filter, as explained in Equation 3.

8.3.10 ADC Transfer Function
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A are a family of multichannel devices that support single-ended, bipolar, and
unipolar input ranges on all input channels. The output of the devices is in straight binary format for both bipolar
and unipolar input ranges. The format for the output codes is the same across all analog channels.
The ideal transfer characteristic for each ADC channel for all input ranges is shown in Figure 85. The full-scale
range (FSR) for each input signal is equal to the difference between the positive full-scale (PFS) input voltage
and the negative full-scale (NFS) input voltage. The LSB size is equal to FSR / 216 = FSR / 65536 because the
resolution of the ADC is 16 bits. For a reference voltage of VREF = 4.096 V, the LSB values corresponding to the
different input ranges are listed in Table 4.

8.3.11 Alarm Feature
The devices have an active-high ALARM output on pin 35. The ALARM signal is synchronous and changes its
state on the 16th falling edge of the SCLK signal. A high level on ALARM indicates that the alarm flag has
tripped on one or more channels of the device. This pin can be wired to interrupt the host input. When an
ALARM interrupt is received, the alarm flag registers are read to determine which channels have an alarm. The
devices feature independently-programmable alarms for each channel. There are two alarms per channel (a low
and a high alarm) and each alarm threshold has a separate hysteresis setting.
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A set a high alarm when the digital output for a particular channel exceeds the
high alarm upper limit [high alarm threshold (T) + hysteresis (H)]. The alarm resets when the digital output for the
channel is less than or equal to the high alarm lower limit (high alarm T – H – 2). This function is shown in
Figure 86.
L_ALARM On
Alarm Threshold

Similarly, the lower alarm is triggered when the digital output for a particular channel falls below the low alarm
lower limit (low alarm threshold T – H – 1). The alarm resets when the digital output for the channel is greater
than or equal to the low alarm higher limit (low alarm T + H + 1). This function is shown in Figure 87.

Figure 88 shows a functional block diagram for a single-channel alarm. There are two flags for each high and low
alarm: active alarm flag and tripped alarm flag; see the Alarm Flag Registers (Read-Only) section for more
details. The active alarm flag is triggered when an alarm condition is encountered for a particular channel; the
active alarm flag resets when the alarm shuts off. A tripped alarm flag sets an alarm condition in the same
manner as for an active alarm flag. However, the tripped alarm flag remains latched and resets only when the
appropriate alarm flag register is read.

Figure 89. Pin Configuration for the Digital Interface
The signals shown in Figure 89 are summarized as follows:
8.4.1.1.1 CS (Input)
CS indicates an active-low, chip-select signal. CS is also used as a control signal to trigger a conversion on the
falling edge. Each data frame begins with the falling edge of the CS signal. The analog input channel to be
converted during a particular frame is selected in the previous frame. On the CS falling edge, the devices sample
the input signal from the selected channel and a conversion is initiated using the internal clock. The device
settings for the next data frame can be input during this conversion process. When the CS signal is high, the
ADC is considered to be in an idle state.
8.4.1.1.2 SCLK (Input)
This pin indicates the external clock input for the data interface. All synchronous accesses to the device are
timed with respect to the falling edges of the SCLK signal.
8.4.1.1.3 SDI (Input)
SDI is the serial data input line. SDI is used by the host processor to program the internal device registers for
device configuration. At the beginning of each data frame, the CS signal goes low and the data on the SDI line
are read by the device at every falling edge of the SCLK signal for the next 16 SCLK cycles. Any changes made
to the device configuration in a particular data frame are applied to the device on the subsequent falling edge of
the CS signal.
8.4.1.1.4 SDO (Output)
SDO is the serial data output line. SDO is used by the device to output conversion data. The size of the data
output frame varies depending on the register setting for the SDO format; see Table 13. A low level on CS
releases the SDO pin from the Hi-Z state. SDO is kept low for the first 15 SCLK falling edges. The MSB of the
output data stream is clocked out on SDO on the 16th SCLK falling edge, followed by the subsequent data bits
on every falling edge thereafter. The SDO line goes low after the entire data frame is output and goes to a Hi-Z
state when CS goes high.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.1.1.5 DAISY (Input)
DAISY is a serial input pin. When multiple devices are connected in daisy-chain mode, as illustrated in Figure 92,
the DAISY pin of the first device in the chain is connected to GND. The DAISY pin of every subsequent device is
connected to the SDO output pin of the previous device, and the SDO output of the last device in the chain goes
to the SDI of the host processor. If an application uses a stand-alone device, the DAISY pin is connected to
GND.
8.4.1.1.6 RST/PD (Input)
RST/PD is a dual-function pin. Figure 90 shows the timing of this pin and Table 5 explains the usage of this pin.

DEVICE MODE
The device is in RST mode and does not enter PWR_DN mode.
The device is in RST mode and may or may not enter PWR_DN mode.
NOTE: This setting is not recommended.
The device enters PWR_DN mode and the program registers are reset to default
value.
The devices can be placed into power-down (PWR_DN) mode by pulling the RST/PD pin to a logic low state for
at least 400 ns. The RST/PD pin is asynchronous to the clock; thus, RST/PD can be triggered at any time
regardless of the status of other pins (including the analog input channels). When the device is in power-down
mode, any activity on the digital input pins (apart from the RST/PD pin) is ignored.
The program registers in the device can be reset to their default values (RST) by pulling the RST/PD pin to a
logic low state for no longer than 100 ns. This input is asynchronous to the clock. When RST/PD is pulled back
to a logic high state, the devices are placed in normal mode. One valid write operation must be executed on the
program register in order to configure the device, followed by an appropriate command (AUTO_RST or MAN) to
initiate conversions.
When the RST/PD pin is pulled back to a logic high level, the devices wake-up in a default state in which the
program registers are reset to their default values.

Figure 91. Device Operation Using the Serial Interface Timing Diagram
There are four events shown in Figure 91. These events are described below:
• Event 1: The host initiates a data conversion frame through a falling edge of the CS signal. The analog input
signal at the instant of the CS falling edge is sampled by the ADC and conversion is performed using an
internal oscillator clock. The analog input channel converted during this frame is selected in the previous data
frame. The internal register settings of the device for the next conversion can be input during this data frame
using the SDI and SCLK inputs. Initiate SCLK at this instant and latch data on the SDI line into the device on
every SCLK falling edge for the next 16 SCLK cycles. At this instant, SDO goes low because the device does
not output internal conversion data on the SDO line during the first 16 SCLK cycles.
• Event 2: During the first 16 SCLK cycles, the device completes the internal conversion process and data are
now ready within the converter. However, the device does not output data bits on SDO until the 16th falling
edge appears on the SCLK input. Because the ADC conversion time is fixed (the maximum value is given in
the Electrical Characteristics table), the 16th SCLK falling edge must appear after the internal conversion is
over, otherwise data output from the device is incorrect. Therefore, the SCLK frequency cannot exceed a
maximum value, as provided in the Timing Requirements: Serial Interface table.
• Event 3: At the 16th falling edge of the SCLK signal, the device reads the LSB of the input word on the SDI
line. The device does not read anything from the SDI line for the remaining data frame. On the same edge,
the MSB of the conversion data is output on the SDO line and can be read by the host processor on the
subsequent falling edge of the SCLK signal. For 16 bits of output data, the LSB can be read on the 32nd
SCLK falling edge. The SDO outputs 0 on subsequent SCLK falling edges until the next conversion is
initiated.
• Event 4: When the internal data from the device is received, the host terminates the data frame by
deactivating the CS signal to high. The SDO output goes into a Hi-Z state until the next data frame is initiated,
as explained in Event 1.
8.4.1.3 Host-to-Device Connection Topologies
The digital interface of the ADS8684A and ADS8688A offers a lot of flexibility in the ways that a host controller
can exchange data or commands with the device. A typical connection between a host controller and a standalone device is illustrated in Figure 89. However, there are applications that require multiple ADCs but the host
controller has limited interfacing capability. This section describes two connection topologies that can be used to
address the requirements of such applications.

of the host controller, respectively. The DAISY1 input pin of the first ADC in the chain is connected to DGND, the
SDO1 output pin is connected to the DAISY2 input of ADC2, and so forth. The SDON pin of the Nth ADC in the
chain is connected to the SDI pin of the host controller. The devices do not require any special hardware or
software configuration to enter daisy-chain mode.

Figure 93. Three Devices Connected in Daisy-Chain Mode Timing Diagram
At the falling edge of the CS signal, all devices sample the input signal at their respective selected channels and
enter into conversion phase. For the first 16 SCLK cycles, the internal register settings for the next conversion
can be entered using the SDI line that is common to all devices in the chain. During this time period, the SDO
outputs for all devices remain low. At the end of conversion, every ADC in the chain loads its own conversion
result into an internal 16-bit shift register. At the 16th SCLK falling edge, every ADC in the chain outputs the MSB
bit on its own SDO output pin. On every subsequent SCLK falling edge, the internal shift register of each ADC
latches the data available on its DAISY pin and shifts out the next bit of data on its SDO pin. Therefore, the
digital host receives the data of ADCN, followed by the data of ADCN–1, and so forth (in MSB-first fashion). In
total, a minimum of 16 × N SCLK falling edges are required to capture the outputs of all N devices in the chain.
This example uses three devices in a daisy-chain connection, so 3 × 16 = 48 SCLK cycles are required to
capture the outputs of all devices in the chain along with the 16 SCLK cycles to input the register settings for the
next conversion, resulting in a total of 64 SCLK cycles for the entire data frame. Note that the overall throughput
of the system is proportionally reduced with the number of devices connected in a daisy-chain configuration.

SBAS680 – JULY 2015
The following points must be noted about the daisy-chain configuration illustrated in Figure 92:
• The SDI pins for all devices are connected together so each device operates with the same internal
configuration. This limitation can be overcome by spending additional host controller resources to control the
CS or SDI input of devices with unique configurations.
• If the number of devices connected in daisy-chain is more than four, loading increases on the shared output
lines from the host controller (CS, SDO, and SCLK). This increased loading can lead to digital timing errors.
This limitation can be overcome by using digital buffers on the shared outputs from the host controller before
feeding the shared digital lines into additional devices.
8.4.1.3.2 Star Topology
A typical connection diagram showing multiple devices in the star topology is shown in Figure 94. The SDI and
SCLK inputs of all devices are connected together and are controlled by a single SDO and SCLK pin of the host
controller, respectively. Similarly, the SDO outputs of all devices are tied together and connected to the SDI input
pin of the host controller. The CS input pin of each device is individually controlled by separate CS control lines
from the host controller.

Figure 94. Star Topology Connection Schematic
The timing diagram for a typical data frame in the star topology is the same as in a stand-alone device operation,
as illustrated in Figure 91. The data frame for a particular device starts with the falling edge of the CS signal and
ends when the CS signal goes high. Because the host controller provides separate CS control signals for each
device in this topology, the user can select the devices in any order and initiate a conversion by bringing down
the CS signal for that particular device. As explained in Figure 91, when CS goes high at the end of each data
frame, the SDO output of the device is placed into a Hi-Z state. Therefore, the shared SDO line in the star
topology is controlled only by the device with an active data frame (CS is low). In order to avoid any conflict
related to multiple devices driving the SDO line at the same time, ensure that the host controller pulls down the
CS signal for only one device at any particular time.
TI recommends connecting a maximum of four devices in the star topology. Beyond that, loading may increase
on the shared output lines from the host controller (SDO and SCLK). This loading can lead to digital timing
errors. This limitation can be overcome by using digital buffers on the shared outputs from the host controller
before being fed into additional devices.

8.4.2 Device Modes
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A support multiple modes of operation that are software programmable. After
powering up, the device is placed into idle mode and does not perform any function until a command is received
from the user. Table 6 lists all commands to enter the different modes of the device. After power-up, the program
registers wake up with the default values and require appropriate configuration settings before performing any
conversion. The diagram in Figure 95 explains how to switch the device from one mode of operation to another.

8.4.2.1 Continued Operation in the Selected Mode (NO_OP)
Holding the SDI line low continuously (equivalent to writing a 0 to all 16 bits) during device operation continues
device operation in the last selected mode (STDBY, PWR_DN, AUTO_RST, or MAN_Ch_n). In this mode, the
device follows the same settings that are already configured in the program registers.
If a NO_OP condition occurs when the device is performing any read or write operation in the program register
(PROG mode), then the device retains the current settings of the program registers. The device goes back to
IDLE mode and waits for the user to enter a proper command to execute the program register read or write
configuration.

8.4.2.2 Frame Abort Condition (FRAME_ABORT)
As explained in the Data Acquisition Example section, the device digital interface is designed such that each data
frame starts with a falling edge of the CS signal. During the first 16 SCLK cycles, the device reads the 16-bit
command word on the SDI line. The device waits to execute the command until the last bit of the command is
received, which is latched on the 16th SCLK falling edge. During this operation, the CS signal must stay low. If
the CS signal goes high for any reason before the data transmission is complete, the device goes into an
INVALID state and waits for a proper command to be written. This condition is called the FRAME_ABORT
condition. When the device is operating in this INVALID mode, any read operation on the device returns invalid
data on the SDO line. The output of the ALARM pin will continue to reflect the status of input signal on the
previously selected channel.
8.4.2.3 STANDBY Mode (STDBY)
The devices support a low-power standby mode (STDBY) in which only part of the circuit is powered down. The
internal reference and buffer is not powered down, and therefore, the devices can be quickly powered up in 20
µs on exiting the STDBY mode. When the device comes out of STDBY mode, the program registers are not
reset to the default values.
To enter STDBY mode, execute a valid write operation to the command register with a STDBY command of
8200h, as shown in Figure 96. The command is executed and the device enters STDBY mode on the next CS
rising edge following this write operation. The device remains in STDBY mode if no valid conversion command
(AUTO_RST or MAN_Ch_n) is executed and SDI remains low (see the Continued Operation in the Selected
Mode section) during the subsequent data frames. When the device operates in STDBY mode, the program
register settings can be updated (as explained in the Program Register Read/Write Operation section) using 16
SCLK cycles. However, if 32 complete SCLK cycles are provided, then the device returns invalid data on the
SDO line because there is no ongoing conversion in STDBY mode. The program register read operation can
take place normally during this mode.

In order to exit STDBY mode a valid 16-bit write command must be executed to enter auto (AUTO_RST) or
manual (MAN_CH_n) scan mode, as shown in Figure 97. The device starts exiting STDBY mode on the next CS
rising edge. At the next CS falling edge, the device samples the analog input at the channel selected by the
MAN_CH_n command or the first channel of the AUTO_RST mode sequence. To ensure that the input signal is
sampled correctly, keep the minimum width of the CS signal at 20 µs after exiting STDBY mode so the device
internal circuitry can be fully powered up and biased properly before taking the sample. The data output for the
selected channel can be read during the same data frame, as explained in Figure 91.

8.4.2.4 Power-Down Mode (PWR_DN)
The devices support a hardware and software power-down mode (PWR_DN) in which all internal circuitry is
powered down, including the internal reference and buffer. A minimum time of 15 ms is required for the device to
power up and convert the selected analog input channel after exiting PWR_DN mode, if the device is operating
in the internal reference mode (REFSEL = 0). The hardware power mode for the device is explained in the
RST/PD (Input) section. The primary difference between the hardware and software power-down modes is that
the program registers are reset to default values when the devices wake up from hardware power-down, but the
previous settings of the program registers are retained when the devices wake up from software power-down.
To enter PWR_DN mode using software, execute a valid write operation on the command register with a
software PWR_DN command of 8300h, as shown in Figure 98. The command is executed and the device enters
PWR_DN mode on the next CS rising edge following this write operation. The device remains in PWR_DN mode
if no valid conversion command (AUTO_RST or MAN_Ch_n) is executed and SDI remains low (see the
Continued Operation in the Selected Mode section) during the subsequent data frames. When the device
operates in PWR_DN mode, the program register settings can be updated (as explained in the Program Register
Read/Write Operation section) using 16 SCLK cycles. However, if 32 complete SCLK cycles are provided, then
the device returns invalid data on the SDO line because there is no ongoing conversion in PWR_DN mode. The
program register read operation can take place normally during this mode.

8.4.2.5 Auto Channel Enable with Reset (AUTO_RST)
The devices can be programmed to scan the input signal on all analog channels automatically by writing a valid
auto channel sequence with a reset (AUTO_RST, A000h) command in the command register, as explained in
Figure 100. As shown in Figure 100, the CS signal can be pulled high immediately after the AUTO_RST
command or after reading the output data of the frame. However, in order to accurately acquire and convert the
input signal on the first selected channel in the next data frame, the command frame must be a complete frame
of 32 SCLK cycles.
The sequence of channels for the automatic scan can be configured by the AUTO SCAN sequencing control
register (01h to 02h) in the program register; see the Program Register Map section. In this mode, the devices
continuously cycle through the selected channels in ascending order, beginning with the lowest channel and
converting all channels selected in the program register. On completion of the sequence, the devices return to
the lowest count channel in the program register and repeat the sequence. The input voltage range for each
channel in the auto-scan sequence can be configured by setting the Range Select Registers of the program
registers.

channels is reset. The devices return to the lowest count channel of the auto-scan sequence in the program
register and repeat the sequence. The timing diagram in Figure 101 shows this behavior using an example in
which channels 0 to 2 are selected in the auto sequence. For switching between AUTO_RST mode and

8.4.2.6 Manual Channel n Select (MAN_Ch_n)
The devices can be programmed to convert a particular analog input channel by operating in manual channel n
scan mode (MAN_Ch_n). This programming is done by writing a valid manual channel n select command
(MAN_Ch_n) in the command register, as shown in Figure 102. As shown in Figure 102, the CS signal can be
pulled high immediately after the MAN_Ch_n command or after reading the output data of the frame. However, in
order to accurately acquire and convert the input signal on the next channel, the command frame must be a
complete frame of 32 SCLK cycles. See Table 6 for a list of commands to select individual channels during
MAN_Ch_n mode.

8.4.2.7 Channel Sequencing Modes
The devices offer two channel sequencing modes: AUTO_RST and MAN_Ch_n.
In AUTO_RST mode, the channel number automatically increments in every subsequent frame. As explained in
the Auto-Scan Sequencing Control Registers section, the analog inputs can be selected for an automatic scan
with a register setting. The device automatically scans only the selected analog inputs in ascending order. The
unselected analog input channels can also be powered down for optimizing power consumption in this mode of
operation. The auto-mode sequence can be reset at any time during an automatic scan (using the AUTO_RST
command). When the reset command is received, the ongoing auto-mode sequence is reset and restarts from
the lowest selected channel in the sequence.
In MAN_Ch_n mode, the same input channel is selected during every data conversion frame. The input
command words to select individual analog channels in MAN_Ch_n mode are listed in Table 6. If a particular
input channel is selected during a data frame, then the analog inputs on the same channel are sampled during
the next data frame. Figure 104 shows the SDI command sequence for transitions from AUTO_RST to
MAN_Ch_n mode.

8.4.2.8 Reset Program Registers (RST)
The devices support a hardware and software reset (RST) mode in which all program registers are reset to their
default values. The devices can be put into RST mode using a hardware pin, as explained in the RST/PD (Input)
section.
The device program registers can be reset to their default values during any data frame by executing a valid
write operation on the command register with a RST command of 8500h, as shown in Figure 106. The device
remains in RST mode if no valid conversion command (AUTO_RST or MAN_Ch_n) is executed and SDI remains
low (see the Continued Operation in the Selected Mode (NO_OP) section) during the subsequent data frames.
When the device operates in RST mode, the program register settings can be updated (as explained in the
Program Register Read/Write Operation section) using 16 SCLK cycles. However, if 32 complete SCLK cycles
are provided, then the device returns invalid data on the SDO line because there is no ongoing conversion in
RST mode. The values of the program register can be read normally during this mode. A valid AUTO_RST or
MAN_CH_n channel selection command must be executed for initiating a conversion on a particular analog
channel using the default program register settings.

8.5 Register Maps
The internal registers of the ADS8684A and ADS8688A are categorized into two categories: command registers
and program registers.
The command registers are used to select the channel sequencing mode (AUTO_RST or MAN_Ch_n), configure
the device in standby (STDBY) or power-down (PWR_DN) mode, and reset (RST) the program registers to their
default values.
The program registers are used to select the sequence of channels for AUTO_RST mode, select the SDO output
format, control input range settings for individual channels, control the ALARM feature, reading the alarm flags,
and programming the alarm thresholds for each channel.
8.5.1 Command Register Description
The command register is a 16-bit, write-only register that is used to set the operating modes of the ADS8684A
and ADS8688A. The settings in this register are used to select the channel sequencing mode (AUTO_RST or
MAN_Ch_n), configure the device in standby (STDBY) or power-down (PWR_DN) mode, and reset (RST) the
program registers to their default values. All command settings for this register are listed in Table 6. During
power-up or reset, the default content of the command register is all 0's and the device waits for a command to
be written before being placed into any mode of operation. See Figure 1 for a typical timing diagram for writing a
16-bit command into the device. The device executes the command at the end of this particular data frame when
the CS signal goes high.

8.5.2 Program Register Description
The program register is a 16-bit register used to set the operating modes of the ADS8684A and ADS8688A. The
settings in this register are used to select the channel sequence for AUTO_RST mode, configure the device ID in
daisy-chain mode, select the SDO output format, control input range settings for individual channels, control the
ALARM feature, reading the alarm flags, and programming the alarm thresholds for each channel. All program
settings for this register are listed in Table 9. During power-up or reset, the different program registers in the
device wake up with their default values and the device waits for a command to be written before being placed
into any mode of operation.
8.5.2.1 Program Register Read/Write Operation
The program register is a 16-bit read or write register. There must be a minimum of 24 SCLKs after the CS
falling edge for any read or write operation to the program registers. When CS goes low, the SDO line goes low
as well. The device receives the command (see Table 7 and Table 8) through SDI where the first seven bits (bits
15-9) represent the register address and the eighth bit (bit 8) is the write or read instruction.
For a write cycle, the next eight bits (bits 7-0) on SDI are the desired data for the addressed register. Over the
next eight SCLK cycles, the device outputs this 8-bit data that is written into the register. This data readback
allows verification to determine if the correct data are entered into the device. A typical timing diagram for a
program register write cycle is shown in Figure 107.

For a read cycle, the next eight bits (bits 7-0) on SDI are don’t care bits and SDO stays low. From the 16th SCLK
falling edge and onwards, SDO outputs the 8-bit data from the addressed register during the next eight clocks, in
MSB-first fashion. A typical timing diagram for a program register read cycle is shown in Figure 108.

8.5.2.3 Program Register Descriptions
8.5.2.3.1 Auto-Scan Sequencing Control Registers
In AUTO_RST mode, the device automatically scans the preselected channels in ascending order with a new
channel selected for every conversion. Each individual channel can be selectively included in the auto channel
sequencing. For channels not selected for auto sequencing, the analog front-end circuitry can be individually
powered down.
8.5.2.3.1.1 Auto-Scan Sequence Enable Register (address = 01h)
This register selects individual channels for sequencing in AUTO_RST mode. The default value for this register is
FFh, which implies that in default condition all channels are included in the auto-scan sequence. If no channels
are included in the auto sequence (that is, the value for this register is 00h), then channel 0 is selected for
conversion by default.

8.5.2.3.1.2 Channel Power Down Register (address = 02h)
This register powers down individual channels that are not included for sequencing in AUTO_RST mode. The
default value for this register is 00h, which implies that in default condition all channels are powered up. If all
channels are powered down (that is, the value for this register is FFh), then the analog front-end circuits for all
channels are powered down and the output of the ADC contains invalid data. If the device is in MAN-Ch_n mode
and the selected channel is powered down, then the device yields invalid output that can also trigger a false
alarm condition.

8.5.2.3.4 Alarm Flag Registers (Read-Only)
The alarm conditions related to individual channels are stored in these registers. The flags can be read when an
alarm interrupt is received on the ALARM pin. There are two types of flag for every alarm: active and tripped.
The active flag is set to 1 under the alarm condition (when data cross the alarm limit) and remains so as long as
the alarm condition persists. The tripped flag turns on the alarm condition similar to the active flag, but remains
set until read. This feature relieves the device from having to track alarms.
8.5.2.3.4.1 ALARM Overview Tripped-Flag Register (address = 10h)
The ALARM overview tripper-flags register contains the logical OR of high or low tripped alarm flags for all eight

There are two alarm thresholds (high and low) per channel, with two flags for each threshold. An active alarm
flag is enabled when an alarm is triggered (when data cross the alarm threshold) and remains enabled as long
as the alarm condition persists. A tripped alarm flag is enabled in the same manner as an active alarm flag, but
remains latched until read. Registers 11h to 14h in the program registers store the active and tripped alarm flags
for all individual eight channels.

8.5.2.3.5 Alarm Threshold Setting Registers
The ADS8684A and ADS8688A feature individual high and low alarm threshold settings for each channel. Each
alarm threshold is 16 bits wide with 8-bit hysteresis, which is the same for both high and low threshold settings.
This 40-bit setting is accomplished through five 8-bit registers associated with every high and low alarm.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
In modern power grids, accurately measuring the electrical parameters of the various areas of the power grid is
extremely critical. This measurement helps determine the operating status and running quality of the grid. Such
accurate measurements also help diagnose potential problems with the power network so that these problems
can be resolved quickly without having any significant service disruption. The key electrical parameters include
amplitude, frequency, and phase, which are important for calculating the power factor, power quality, and other
parameters of the power system.

Typical Applications (continued)
The phase angle of the electrical signal on the power network buses is a special interest to power system
engineers. The primary objective for this design is to accurately measure the phase and phase difference
between the analog input signals in a multichannel data acquisition system. When multiple input channels are
sampled in a sequential manner as in a multiplexed ADC, an additional phase delay is introduced between the
channels. Thus, the phase measurements are not accurate. However, this additional phase delay is constant and
can be compensated in application software.
The key design requirements are given below:
• Single-ended sinusoidal input signal with a ±10-V amplitude and typical frequency (fIN = 50 Hz).
• Design an 8-channel multiplexed data acquisition system using a 16-bit SAR ADC.
• Design a software algorithm to compensate for the additional phase difference between the channels.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The application circuit and system diagram for this design is shown in Figure 124. This design includes a
complete hardware and software implementation of a multichannel data acquisition system for power automation
applications.
This system can be designed using the ADS8688A, which is a 16-bit, 500-kSPS, 8-channel, multiplexed input,
SAR ADC with integrated precision reference and analog front-end circuitry for each channel. The ADC supports
bipolar input ranges up to ±10.24 V with a single 5-V supply and provides minimum latency in data output
resulting from the SAR architecture. The integration offered by this device makes the ADS8684A and ADS8688A
an ideal selection for such applications, because the integrated signal conditioning helps minimize system
components and avoids the need for generating high-voltage supply rails. The overall system-level dc precision
(gain and offset errors) and low temperature drift offered by this device helps system designers achieve the
desired system accuracy without calibration. In most applications, using passive RC filters or multi-stage filters in
front of the ADC is preferred to reduce the noise of the input signal.
The software algorithm implemented in this design uses the discrete fourier transform (DFT) method to calculate
and track the input signal frequency, obtain the exact phase angle of the individual signal, calculate the phase
difference, and implement phase compensation. The entire algorithm has four steps:
• Calculate the theoretical phase difference introduced by the ADC resulting from multiplexing input channels.
• Estimate the frequency of the input signal using frequency tracking and DFT techniques.
• Calculate the phase angle of all signals in the system based on the estimated frequency.
• Compensate the phase difference for all channels using the theoretical value of an additional MUX phase
delay calculated in the first step.
For a step-by-step design procedure, circuit schematics, bill of materials, PCB files, simulation results, and test
results, see Phase Compensated 8-Channel, Multiplexed Data Acquisition System for Power Automation

9.2.2.1 Design Requirements
This reference design provides a complete solution for a single-supply industrial control analog input module.
The design is suitable for process control end equipment, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs),
distributed control systems (DCSs), and data acquisition systems (DAS) modules that must digitize standard
industrial current inputs, and bipolar or unipolar input voltage ranges up to ±10 V. In an industrial environment,
the analog voltage and current ranges typically include ±2.5 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, 4 mA to
20 mA, and 0 mA to 20 mA. This reference design can measure all standard industrial voltage and current
inputs. Eight channels are provided on the module, and each channel can be configured as a current or voltage
input with software configuration.
The key design requirements are given below:
• Up to eight channels of user-programmable inputs:
– Voltage inputs (with a typical ZIN of 1 MΩ): ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, 0 V to 10 V, and 0 V to 5 V.
– Current inputs (with a ZIN of 300 Ω): 0 mA to 20 mA, 4 mA to 20 mA, and ±20 mA.
• A 16-bit SAR ADC with SPI.
• Accuracy of ≤ 0.2% at 25°C over the entire input range of voltage and current inputs.
• Onboard isolated Fly-Buck™ power supply with inrush current protection.
• Slim-form factor 96 mm × 50.8 mm × 10 mm (L × W × H).
• LabView-based GUI for signal-chain analysis and functional testing.
• Designed to comply with IEC61000-4 standards for ESD, EFT, and surge.
9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The application circuit and system diagram for this design is shown in Figure 125.
The module has eight analog input channels, and each channel can be configured as a current or voltage input
with software configuration. This design can be implemented using the ADS8688A, 16-bit, 8-channel, singlesupply SAR ADC with an on-chip PGA and reference. The on-chip PGA provides a high-input impedance
(typically 1 MΩ) and filters noise interference. The on-chip, 4.096-V, ultra-low drift voltage reference is used as
the reference for the ADC core.
Digital isolation is achieved using an ISO7141CC and ISO1541D. The host microcontroller communicates with a
TCA6408A (an 8-bit, I2C, I/O expander over an I2C bus). The ISO1541D is a bidirectional, I2C isolator that
isolates the I2C lines for the TCA6408A. The TCA6408A controls the low RON opto-switch (TLP3123) that is used
to switch between voltage-to-current input modes. The input channel configuration is done in microcontroller
firmware.

SBAS680 – JULY 2015
A low-cost, constant, on-time, synchronous buck regulator in fly-buck configuration with an external transformer
(LM5017) generates the isolated power supply. The LM5017 has a wide input supply range, making this device
ideal for accepting a 24-V industrial supply. This transformer can accept up to 100 V, thereby making reliable
transient protection of the input supply more easily achievable. The fly-buck power supply isolates and steps the
input voltage down to 6 V. The supply then provides that voltage to the TPS70950 (the low dropout regulator) to
generate 5 V to power the ADS8688A and other circuitry. The LM5017 also features a number of other safety
and reliability functions, such as undervoltage lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown, and peak current limit
protection.
Input analog signals are protected against high-voltage, fast-transient events often expected in an industrial
environment. The protection circuitry makes use of the transient voltage suppressor (TVS) and ESD diodes. The
RC low-pass mode filters are used on each analog input before the input reaches the ADS8688A, thus
eliminating any high-frequency noise pickups and minimizing aliasing.
For a step-by-step design procedure, circuit schematics, bill of materials, PCB files, simulation results, and test
results, see 16-Bit, 8-Channel, Integrated Analog Input Module for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
(TIDU365).
10 Power-Supply Recommendations
The device uses two separate power supplies: AVDD and DVDD. The internal circuits of the device operate on
AVDD; DVDD is used for the digital interface. AVDD and DVDD can be independently set to any value within the
permissible range.
The AVDD supply pins must be decoupled with AGND by using a minimum 10-µF and 1-µF capacitor on each
supply. Place the 1-µF capacitor as close to the supply pins as possible. Place a minimum 10-µF decoupling
capacitor very close to the DVDD supply to provide the high-frequency digital switching current. The effect of
using the decoupling capacitor is illustrated in the difference between the power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR)
performance of the device. Figure 126 shows the PSRR of the device without using a decoupling capacitor. The
PSRR improves when the decoupling capacitors are used, as shown in Figure 127.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 128 illustrates a PCB layout example for the ADS8684A and ADS8688A.
• Partition the PCB into analog and digital sections. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog signals are
kept away from the digital lines. This layout helps keep the analog input and reference input signals away
from the digital noise. In this layout example, the analog input and reference signals are routed on the lower
side of the board and the digital connections are routed on the top side of the board.
• Using a single dedicated ground plane is strongly encouraged.
• Power sources to the ADS8684A and ADS8688A must be clean and well-bypassed. TI recommends using a
1-μF, X7R-grade, 0603-size ceramic capacitor with at least a 10-V rating in close proximity to the analog
(AVDD) supply pins. For decoupling the digital (DVDD) supply pin, a 10-μF, X7R-grade, 0805-size ceramic
capacitor with at least a 10-V rating is recommended. Placing vias between the AVDD, DVDD pins and the
bypass capacitors must be avoided. All ground pins must be connected to the ground plane using short, low
impedance paths.
• There are two decoupling capacitors used for the REFCAP pin. The first is a small, 1-μF, X7R-grade, 0603size ceramic capacitor placed close to the device pins for decoupling the high-frequency signals and the
second is a 22-µF, X7R-grade, 1210-size ceramic capacitor to provide the charge required by the reference
circuit of the device. Both of these capacitors must be directly connected to the device pins without any vias
between the pins and capacitors.
• The REFIO pin also must be decoupled with a 10-µF ceramic capacitor, if the internal reference of the device
is used. The capacitor must be placed close to the device pins.
• For the auxiliary channel, the fly-wheel RC filter components must be placed close to the device. Among
ceramic surface-mount capacitors, COG (NPO) ceramic capacitors provide the best capacitance precision.
The type of dielectric used in COG (NPO) ceramic capacitors provides the most stable electrical properties
over voltage, frequency, and temperature changes.
