Figure 1 shows the operation of a simplified three bit charge redistribution A/D. Precision laser-trimmed scaling resistors at the input divide standard input ranges (±10V or ±5V for the ADS7800) into levels compatible with the CMOS characteristics of the internal capacitor array.

A convert command arriving on pin 19, R/C, (a pulse taking pin 19 LOW for a minimum of 40ns) puts the ADS7800 in the hold mode, and a conversion is started. Pin 21, BUSY, will be held LOW during the conversion, and rises only after the conversion is completed and the data has been transferred to the output latches. Thus, the rising edge of the signal on pin 21 can be used to read the data from the conversion. Also, during conversion, the BUSY signal puts the output data lines in Hi-Z states and inhibits input lines. This means that pulses on pin 19 are ignored, so that new conversions cannot be initiated during a conversion, either as a result of spurious signals or to short-cycle the ADS7800. In the Read Mode, the input to pin 19 is kept normally LOW, and a HIGH pulse is used to read data and initiate a conversion. In this mode, the rising edge of R/C on pin 19 will enable the output data pins, and the data from the previous conversion becomes valid. The falling edge then puts the ADS7800 in a hold mode, and initiates a new conversion. Out G + 2 6.8µF FIGURE 2. Basic ±10V Operation. To Switches R 24 Data Out The first approximation connects the MSB capacitor via switch S1 to REF, while switches S2 and S3 are connected to GND. Depending on whether the comparator output is HIGH or LOW, the logic will then latch S1 in position “R” or “G”, and moves on to make the next approximation by connecting S2 to REF and S3 to GND. When the three successive approximation steps are made for this simple converter, the voltage level at the comparator will be within 1/2LSB of GND, and the data output word will be based on reading the positions of S1, S2 and S3. Comparator +5V D11 (MSB) When a convert command is received, switch S1 is opened to trap a charge on the MSB capacitor proportional to the input level at the time of the sampling command, switches S2 and S3 are opened to trap an offset charge, and switch SC is opened to float the comparator input. The charge trapped on the capacitor array can now be moved between the three capacitors in the array by connecting switches S1, S2 and S3 to positions “R” (to connect to REF) or “G” (to connect to GND) successively, changing the voltage generated at the comparator input node. SC IN 1 Busy While in the sampling mode, the capacitor array switch for the MSB capacitor (S1) is in position “S”, so that the charge on the MSB capacitor is proportional to the voltage level of the analog input signal, and the remaining array switches (S2 and S3) are set to position “R” to provide an accurate bipolar offset from the reference source REF. At the same time, switch SC is also in the closed position to auto-zero any offset errors in the CMOS comparator. Input 1 Input The ADS7800 will begin acquiring a new sample as soon as the conversion is completed, even before the BUSY output rises on pin 21, and will track the input signal until the next conversion is started, whether in the Convert Mode or the Read Mode.

In this mode, CS and HBE are connected to GND. The output data are presented as 12-bit words. The stand-alone mode is used in systems containing dedicated input ports which do not require full bus interface capability. Conversion is initiated by a HIGH-to-LOW transition on R/C. The three-state data output buffers are enabled when R/C is HIGH and BUSY is HIGH. Thus, there are two possible modes of operation: conversion can be initiated with either positive or negative pulses. In either case, the R/C pulse must remain LOW a minimum of 40ns. TABLE I. Acquisition and Conversion Timing. For use with an 8-bit bus, the data can be read out in two bytes under the control of pin 18, HBE. With a LOW input on pin 18, at the end of a conversion, the 8 LSBs of data are loaded into the latches on pins 9 through 12 and 14 through 17. Taking pin 18 HIGH then loads the 4 MSBs on pins 14 through 17, with pins 9 through 12 being forced LOW. Figure 6 illustrates timing when conversion is initiated by an R/C pulse which goes LOW and returns HIGH during the conversion. In this case (Convert Mode), the three-state outputs go into the Hi-Z state in response to the falling edge of R/C, and are enabled for external access of the data after completion of the conversion. ANALOG INPUT RANGES Figure 7 illustrates the timing when conversion is initiated by a positive R/C pulse. In this mode (Read Mode), the output data from the previous conversion is enabled during the HIGH portion of R/C. A new conversion starts on the falling edge of R/C, and the three-state outputs return to the Hi-Z state until the next occurrence of a HIGH on R/C. The ADS7800 offers two standard bipolar input ranges: ±10V and ±5V. If a ±10V range is required, the analog input signal should be connected to pin 1. A signal requiring a ±5V range should be connected to pin 2. In either case, the other pin of the two must be grounded or connected to the adjustment circuits described in the section on calibration. (See Figures 4 and 5, or 10 and 11.) CONVERSION START CONTROLLING THE ADS7800 A conversion is initiated on the ADS7800 only by a negative transition occurring on R/C, as shown in Table I. No other combination of states or transitions will initiate a conversion. Conversion is inhibited if either CS or HBE are HIGH, or if BUSY is LOW. CS and HBE should be stable a minimum of 25ns prior to the transition on R/C. Timing relationships for start of conversion are illustrated in Figure 8. The ADS7800 can be easily interfaced to most microprocessor-based and other digital systems. The microprocessor may take full control of each conversion, or the ADS7800 may operate in a stand-alone mode, controlled only by the R/C input. Full control consists of initiating the conversion and reading the output data at user command, transmitting data either all 12-bits in one parallel word, or in two 8-bit bytes. The three control inputs (CS, R/C and HBE) are all TTL/CMOS compatible. The functions of the control lines are shown in Table II. The BUSY output indicates the current state of the converter by being LOW only during conversion. During this time the three-state output buffers remain in a Hi-Z state, and therefore data cannot be read during conversion. During this period, additional transitions on the three digital inputs (CS, R/C and HBE) will be ignored, so that conversion cannot be prematurely terminated or restarted. ® ADS7800 8 INTERNAL CLOCK The ADS7800 has an internal clock that is factory trimmed to achieve a typical conversion time of 2.47µs, and a maximum conversion time over the full operating temperature range of 2.7µs. No external adjustments are required, and with the guaranteed maximum acquisition time of 300ns, throughput performance is assured with convert pulses as close as 3µs. 1 ADS7800 ±5V Input FIGURE 5. ±5V Range Without Trims. READING DATA After conversion is initiated, the output buffers remain in a Hi-Z state until the following three logic conditions are simultaneously met: R/C is HIGH, BUSY is HIGH and CS is LOW. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, the data lines are enabled according to the state of HBE. See Figure 9 and Table III for timing relationships and specifications. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE First, trim offset, by applying at the input (pin 1 or 2) the mid-point transition voltage (–2.44mV for the ±10V range, –1.22mV for the ±5V range.) With the ADS7800 converting continually, adjust potentiometer R1 until the MSB (D11 on pin 5) is toggling alternately HIGH and LOW. Next adjust full scale, by applying at the input a DC input signal that is 3/2LSB below the nominal full scale voltage (+9.9927V for the ±10V range, +4.9963V for the ±5V range.) With the ADS7800 converting continually, adjust R2 until the LSB (D0 on pin 17) is toggling HIGH and LOW with all of the other bits HIGH. CALIBRATION OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GAIN AND OFFSET TRIM Offset and full-scale errors may be trimmed to zero using external offset and full-scale trim potentiometers connected to the ADS7800 as shown in Figures 10 and 11. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS If adjustment of offset and full scale is not required, connections as shown in Figures 4 and 5 should be used. ±10V Input 2 Because of the high resolution and linearity of the ADS7800, system design problems such as ground path resistance and contact resistance become very important. ANALOG SIGNAL SOURCE IMPEDANCE The input resistance of the ADS7800 is 6.3kΩ or 4.2kΩ (for the ±10V and ±5V ranges respectively.) To avoid introducing distortion, the source resistance must be very low, or constant with signal level. The output impedance provided by most op amps is ideal. 1 ADS7800 2 Pins 23 (VSD ) and 24 (VSA ) are not connected internally on the ADS7800, to maximize accuracy on the chip. They should be connected together as close as possible to the unit.

Timing Specifications (TMIN to TMAX). tS CS or HBE tH To limit the effects of digital switching elsewhere in a system on the analog performance of the system, it often makes sense to run a separate +5V supply conductor from the supply regulator to any analog components requiring +5V, including the ADS7800. tW R/C tDBC BUSY Data Bus Pin 24 may be slightly more sensitive than pin 23 to supply variations, but to maintain maximum system accuracy, both should be well isolated from digital supplies with wide load variations. Data Valid The VS pins (23 and 24) should be connected together and bypassed with a parallel combination of a 6.8µF tantalum capacitor and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor located close to the converter to obtain noise-free operation. (See Figure 2.) The –VS pin 22 should be bypassed with a 1µF tantalum capacitor, again as close as possible to the ADS7800. Hi-Z State tHDR and tHL FIGURE 8. Conversion Start Timing. Noise on the power supply lines can degrade converter performance, especially noise and spikes from a switching power supply. Appropriate supplies or filters must be used. The GND pins (4 and 13) are also separated internally, and should be directly connected to a ground plane under the ® ADS7800 10 converter if at all possible. A ground plane is usually the best solution for preserving dynamic performance and reducing noise coupling into sensitive converter circuits. Where any compromises must be made, the common return of the analog input signal should be referenced to pin 4, AGND, on the ADS7800, which prevents any voltage drops that might occur in the power supply common returns from appearing in series with the input signal.

If external full scale and offset potentiometers are used, the potentiometers and related resistors should be located as close to the ADS7800 as possible. MINIMIZING “GLITCHES” Coupling of external transients into an A/D converter can cause errors which are difficult to debug. In addition to the discussions earlier on layout considerations for supplies, bypassing and grounding, there are several other useful steps that can be taken to get the best analog performance out of a system using the ADS7800. These potential system problem sources are particularly important to consider when developing a new system, and looking for the causes of errors in breadboards. CS R/C HBE First, care should be taken to avoid glitches during critical times in the sampling and conversion process. Since the ADS7800 has an internal sample/hold function, the signal that puts it into the hold state (R/C going LOW) is critical, as it would be on any sample/hold amplifier. The R/C falling edge should be sharp and have minimal ringing, especially during the 20ns after it falls. Although not normally required, it is also good practice to avoid glitching the ADS7800 while bit decisions are being made. Since the above discussion calls for a fast, clean rise and fall on R/C, it makes sense to keep the rising edge of the convert pulse outside the time when bit decisions are being made. In other words, the convert pulse should either be short (under 100ns so that it transitions before the MSB decision), or relatively long (over 2.75µs to transition after the LSB decision). BUSY tDB Data Valid tDD R2 100Ω Coupling between analog input and digital lines should be minimized by careful layout. For instance, if the lines must cross, they should do so at right angles. Parallel analog and digital lines should be separated from each other by a pattern connected to common. DB11-DB0 ±10V Input tHL & tHDR FIGURE 9. Read Cycle Timing. REFERENCE BYPASS Pin 3 (REF) should be bypassed with a 22µF to 47µF tantalum capacitor. A rated working voltage of 2V or more is acceptable here. This pin is used to enhance the system accuracy of the internal reference circuit, and is not recommended for driving external signals. If there are important system reasons for using the ADS7800 reference externally, the output of pin 3 must be appropriately buffered. External Gain Adjust “HOT SOCKET” PRECAUTION Two separate +5V VS pins, 23 and 24, are used to minimize noise caused by digital transients. If one pin is powered and the other is not, the ADS7800 may “Latch Up” and draw excessive current. In normal operation, this is not a problem because both pins will be soldered together. However, during evaluation, incoming inspection, repair, etc., where the potential of a “Hot Socket” exists, care should be taken to power the ADS7800 only after it has been socketed. ±5V Input 1 R2 2 100Ω 3 +5V Bipolar Zero Adjust 4 R1 10kΩ 10kΩ ADS7800 5 30.1kΩ 301Ω 6 7 –15V FIGURE 11. ±5V Range With External Trims. ® 11 ADS7800 Next, although the data outputs are forced into a Hi-Z state during conversion, fast bus transients can still be capacitively coupled into the ADS7800. If the data bus experiences fast transients during conversion, these transients can be attenuated by adding a logic buffer to the data outputs. The BUSY output can be used to enable the buffer. Finally, in multiplexed systems, the timing on when the multiplexer is switched may affect the analog performance of the system. In most applications, the multiplexer can be switched as soon as R/C goes LOW (with appropriate delays), but this may affect the conversion if the switched signal shows glitches or significant ringing at the ADS7800 input. Whenever possible, it is safer to wait until the conversion is completed before switching the multiplexer. The extremely fast acquisition time and conversion time of the ADS7800 make this practical in many applications. Naturally, transients on the analog input signal are to be avoided, especially at times within ±20ns of R/C going LOW, when they may be trapped as part of the charge on the capacitor array. This requires careful layout of the circuit in front of the ADS7800.
