GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD15700 is a precision component to interface analog input and output channels to a digital processor. It is ideal for area­limited applications that require maximum circuit density. The AD15700 contains the functionality of a 16-bit, redistribution SAR analog-to-digital converter that a 5 V power supply. The high speed 16-bit sampling porates a resistor input scaler that allows various input internal conversion clock, error correction circuits, and parallel system interface ports. The AD15700 also
1 MSPS charge
operates from
ADC incor-
ranges, an
and both serial
contains a 14-bit, serial input, voltage output DAC that operates from a 5 V supply and has a voltage feedback amplifiers with rail-to-rail input and characteristics featuring 80 MHz of small signal bandwidth
settling time of 1 ms. Two single- or
split-supply
output
and
10 mV/C offset drift provide ADC and DAC buffering capability. The center tapped 3 kW resistors are precision resistor
networks with 2 ppm/C ratio tracking that provide low gain drift when used for scaling.
The ADC, DAC, and amp functions are electrically isolated from each other to provide maximum design flexibility. Input and output signal conditioning circuits for the converters can be easily configured with short interconnects under the device at the board level. The AD15700 is available in a 10 mm CSPBGA package.

Pin No. Mnemonic Type Description
H9, J8, AGND_ADC P Analog Power Ground Pin J9, M12
M6 AVDD P Input Analog Power Pin. Nominally 5 V.
L7 BYTESWAP DI Parallel Mode Selection (8-/16-Bit). When LOW, the LSB is output on D[7:0] and the MSB
is output on D[15:8]. When HIGH, the LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output on D[7:0].
L8 OB/2C DI Straight Binary/Binary Twos Complement. When OB/2C is HIGH, the digital output
is straight binary; when LOW, the MSB is inverted, resulting in a twos complement output from its internal shift register.
M7 WARP DI Mode Selection. When HIGH and IMPULSE LOW, this input selects the fastest mode,
the maximum throughput is achievable, and a minimum conversion rate must be applied in order to guarantee full specified accuracy. When LOW, full accuracy is maintained independent of the minimum conversion rate.
L9 IMPULSE DI Mode Selection. When HIGH and WARP LOW, this input selects a reduced power mode.
In this mode, the power dissipation is approximately proportional to the sampling rate.
M8 SER/PAR DI Serial/Parallel Selection Input. When LOW, the Parallel Port is selected; when HIGH,
the Serial Interface Mode is selected and some bits of the DATA bus are used as a serial port.
M9, L10 D[0:1] DO Bit 0 and Bit 1 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, these
outputs are in high impedance.
M10, L11 D[2:3] or DI/O When SER/PAR is HIGH, EXT/INT is LOW and RDC/SDIN is LOW, which is the
DIVSCLK[0:1] serial master read DIVSCLK[0:1] after Convert Mode. These inputs, part of the Serial
Port, are used to slow down, if desired, the internal serial clock that clocks the data output. In the other serial modes, these inputs are not used.
M11 D[4] or EXT/INT DI/O When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 4 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used as a digital select input for choosing the internal or an external data clock, called, respectively, Master and Slave Mode. With EXT/INT tied LOW, the internal clock is selected on SCLK output. With EXT/INT set to a logic HIGH, output data is synchronized to an external clock signal connected to the SCLK input and the external clock is gated by CS_ADC.
L12 D[5] or INVSYNC DI/O When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 5 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used to select the active state of the SYNC signal. When LOW, SYNC is active HIGH. When HIGH, SYNC is active LOW.
K11 D[6] or INVSCLK DI/O When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 6 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used to invert the SCLK signal. It is active in both Master and Slave Mode.
K12 D[7] or RDC/SDIN DI/O When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 7 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the serial port, is used as either an external data input or a read mode selection input, depending on the state of EXT/INT. When EXT/INT is HIGH, RDC/SDIN could be used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion results from two or more ADCs onto a single SDOUT line. The digital data level on SDIN is output on DATA with a delay of 16 SCLK periods after the initiation of the read sequence. When EXT/INT is LOW, RDC/SDIN is used to select the read mode. When RDC/SDIN is HIGH, the previous data is output on SDOUT during conversion. When RDC/SDIN is LOW, the data can be output on SDOUT only when the conversion is complete.

H10 DGND_ADC P Digital Power Ground H12 D[8] or SDOUT DO When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 8 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the serial port, is used as a serial data output synchronized to SCLK. Conversion results are stored in an on-chip register. The ADC provides the conversion result, MSB first, from its internal shift register. The DATA format is determined by the logic level of OB/2C. In Serial Mode, when EXT/INT is LOW, SDOUT is valid on both edges of SCLK. In Serial Mode, when EXT/INT is HIGH: If INVSCLK is LOW, SDOUT is updated on SCLK rising edge and valid on the next falling edge. If INVSCLK is HIGH, SDOUT is updated on SCLK falling edge and valid on the next rising edge.
H11 D[9] or SCLK DI/O When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 9 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used as a serial data clock input or output, dependent upon the logic state of the EXT/INT pin. The active edge where the data SDOUT is updated depends upon the logic state of the INVSCLK pin.
G12 D[10] or SYNC DO When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 10 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used as a digital output frame synchronization for use with the internal data clock (EXT/INT = Logic LOW). When a read sequence is initiated and INVSYNC is LOW, SYNC is driven HIGH and remains HIGH while SDOUT output is valid. When a read sequence is initiated and INVSYNC is High, SYNC is driven LOW and remains LOW while SDOUT output is valid.
G11 D[11] or RDERROR DO When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 11 of the Parallel Port Data Output
Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH and EXT/INT is HIGH, this output, part of the Serial Port, is used as an incomplete read error flag. In Slave Mode, when a data read is started and not complete when the following conversion is complete, the current data is lost and RDERROR is pulsed high.

ADC DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive full scale.” The point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line.

Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)

In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed.

Full-Scale Error

The last transition (from 011...10 to 011...11 in twos comple­ment coding) should occur for an analog voltage 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal full scale (2.499886 V for the ± 2.5 V range). The full-scale error is the deviation of the actual level of the last transition from the ideal level.

Bipolar Zero Error

The difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code.

Unipolar Zero Error

In unipolar mode, the first transition should occur at a level 1/2 LSB above analog ground. The unipolar zero error is the deviation of the actual transition from that point.

Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)

The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal.

Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)

A measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to S/(N + D) by the following formula:
ENOB S N D
and is expressed in bits.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

The rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal; expressed in decibels.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

The ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is expressed in decibels.

Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (S/[N + D])

The ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for S/(N + D) is expressed in decibels.

Aperture Delay

A measure of the acquisition performance, measured from the falling edge of the CNVST input to when the input signal is held for a conversion.

Transient Response

The time required for the ADC to achieve its rated accuracy after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.

DAC DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS Relative Accuracy
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL) is a measure of the maximum deviation in LSBs from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. A typical INL versus code plot can be seen in TPC 16.

Differential Nonlinearity

Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ± 1 LSB maximum ensures monotonicity. TPC 19 illustrates a typical DNL versus code plot.

Gain Error

Gain error is the difference between the actual and ideal analog output range, expressed as a percent of the full-scale range. It is the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from ideal.

Gain Error Temperature Coefficient

This is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in temperature. It is expressed in ppm/∞C.

Zero Code Error

Zero code error is a measure of the output error when zero code is loaded to the DAC register.

Zero Code Temperature Coefficient

This is a measure of the change in zero code error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in mV/∞C.

Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse

Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch in nV–s and is measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition. A plot of the glitch impulse is shown in Figure 28.

Digital Feedthrough

Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the DAC, but is measured when the DAC output is not updated. CS_DAC is held high, while the CLK and DIN signals are toggled. It is specified in nV–s and is measured with a full-scale code change on the data bus, i.e., from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa. A typical plot of digital feedthrough is shown in Figure 27.

Power Supply Rejection Ratio

This specification indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes in the power supply voltage. Power supply rejection ratio is quoted in terms of percent change in output per percent change in V by ± 10%.

Reference Feedthrough

This is a measure of the feedthrough from the V DAC output when the DAC is loaded with all 0s. A 100 kHz, 1Vp-p is applied to V in mV p-p.

Analog Input Section

Made up of a buffer amplifier, an RC filter, and an ADC, the analog input circuit allows measurement of voltages ranging from
0.2 V to 2 REF V. When placed in the 0 V to REF input range, the circuit has the configuration shown in Figure 5a.

With C2 set to 100 pF, the bandwidth is 1.2 MHz. Without C2, the bandwidth of the filter is 2.6 MHz. To utilize the ADC’s maximum 9.6 MHz bandwidth, the components external to the ADC are eliminated. In this case, the ADC is configured for its 0 to 2 REF input range and the resulting equivalent input circuit is shown in Figure 5b.

Analog Output Section

The output circuitry consists of a DAC, RC filter, and an amplifier. The circuit uses the DAC’s output resistance of 6.25 kW ± 20% to form a single-pole RC filter with an external capacitor C1. One of the AD15700’s internal center-tapped resistors and one of its op amps form an amplifier with a gain of two. The gain is used to bring the DAC’s maximum range of REF volts up to 2 REF V.

Voltage Reference Input

The AD15700 uses an external 2.5 V or 3.0 V voltage reference. Because of the dynamic input impedance of the A/D and the code dependent impedance of the D/A, the reference inputs must be driven by a low impedance source. Decoupling consisting of a parallel combination of 47 mF and 0.1 mF capacitors is recom- mended. Suitable references include the ADR421 for 2.5 V output and the AD780 for selectable 2.5 V or 3.0 V output. Both of these feature low noise and low temperature drift.

Processor Interface

The circuit in Figure 5a uses serial interfacing to minimize the number of signals that connect to the digital circuits. External logic such as a state machine is used to generate clocks and other timing signals for the interface. Ideally, the clocks supplied to the converters are discontinuous and operate at the maximum frequency supported by the converter and the processor. Discontinuous clocks that are quiet during critical times minimize degradation caused by voltage transients on the digital interface. It is best to keep the clocks quiet during ADC conversion and when the DAC output is sampled by the external system. Often, the processor cannot tolerate a discontinuous clock and therefore a separate continuous clock (or clocks) that is synchronous with the converter clocks must be generated. Separate clocks for the DAC and ADC are used to maximize the data transfer rate to each converter. The ADC operates at a maximum rate of 40 MHz while the DAC can operate up to 25 MHz.

ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION

The ADC is a fast, low power, single-supply precise 16-bit analog­to-digital converter (ADC). It features different modes to optimize performances according to the applications.
In warp mode, it is capable of converting 1,000,000 samples per second (1 MSPS).
The ADC provides the user with an on-chip track/hold, successive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
It is specified to operate with both bipolar and unipolar input ranges by changing the connection of its input resistive scaler.
The ADC can be operated from a single 5 V supply and be inter­faced to either 5 V or 3 V digital logic.

ADC CONVERTER OPERATION

The ADC is a successive approximation analog-to-digital con­verter based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 7 shows the simplified schematic of the ADC. The input analog signal is first scaled down and level-shifted by the internal input resistive scaler, which allows both unipolar ranges (0 V to 2.5 V, 0 V to 5 V, and 0 to 10 V) and bipolar ranges (± 2.5 V, ± 5 V, and ± 10 V). The output voltage range of the resistive scaler is always 0 V to 2.5 V. The capacitive DAC consists of an array of 16 binary weighted capacitors and an additional LSB capacitor. The comparator’s negative input is connected to a “dummy” capacitor of the same value as the capacitive DAC array.
During the acquisition phase, the common terminal of the array tied to the comparator’s positive input is connected to AGND via SWA. All independent switches are connected to the output of the resistive scaler. Thus, the capacitor array is used as a sampling capacitor and acquires the analog signal. Similarly, the dummy capacitor acquires the analog signal on INGND input.
When the acquisition phase is complete, and the CNVST input goes or is low, a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase begins, SWA and SWB are opened first. The capacitor array and the dummy capacitor are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the REFGND input. Therefore, the differ­ential voltage between the output of the resistive scaler and INGND captured at the end of the acquisition phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to become unbalanced.

By switching each element of the capacitor array between REFGND or REF, the comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4. . .VREF/65536). The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB first, in order to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After the completion of this process, the control logic generates the ADC output code and brings BUSY output low.

Modes of Operation

The ADC features three modes of operation: warp, normal, and impulse. Each of these modes is more suitable for specific applications.
The warp mode allows the fastest conversion rate up to 1
MSPS.
However, in this mode and this mode only, the full specified accuracy is guaranteed only when the time between conversion does not exceed 1 ms. If the time between two con­secutive conversions is longer than 1 ms, for instance, after power-up, the first conversion result should be ignored. This mode makes the ADC ideal for applications where both high accuracy and fast sample rate are required.
The normal mode is the fastest mode (800 kSPS) without any limitation about the time between conversions. This mode makes the ADC ideal for asynchronous applications such as data acquisition systems, where both high accuracy and fast sample rate are required.
The impulse mode, the lowest power dissipation mode, allows power saving between conversions. The maximum throughput

in this mode is 666 kSPS. When operating at 100 SPS, for example, it typically consumes only 15 mW. This feature makes the ADC ideal for battery-powered applications.

The four resistors connected to the four analog inputs form a resistive scaler that scales down and shifts the analog input range to a common input range of 0 V to 2.5 V at the input of the switched capacitive ADC.
By connecting the four inputs INA, INB, INC, and IND to the input signal itself, the ground, or a 2.5 V reference, other analog input ranges can be obtained.
The diodes shown in Figure 9 provide ESD protection for the four analog inputs. The inputs INB, INC, and IND, have a high voltage protection (–11 V to +30 V) to allow wide input voltage range. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the absolute ratings on these inputs including INA (0 V to 5 V). This will cause these diodes to become for-

Except when using the 0 V to 2.5 V analog input voltage range,
the ADC has to be driven by a very low impedance source to
avoid gain errors. That can be done by using the driver amplifier.
When using the 0 V to 2.5 V analog input voltage range, the
input impedance of the ADC is very high so the ADC can be
driven directly by a low impedance source without gain error.
That allows putting an external one-pole RC filter between the
output of the amplifier output and the ADC analog inputs to
even further improve the noise filtering done by the ADC analog
input circuit. However, the source impedance has to be kept low
because it affects the ac performances, especially the total harmonic
distortion (THD). The maximum source impedance depends on
the amount of total THD that can be tolerated. The THD degra-
dation is a function of the source impedance and the maximum
input frequency, as shown in Figure 11. ward-biased and start conducting current. These diodes can
handle a forward-biased current of 120 mA maximum. For instance, when using the 0 V to 2.5 V input range, these condi­tions could eventually occur on the input INA when the input buffer’s (U1) supplies are different from AVDD. In such case, an input buffer with a short circuit current limitation can be used to protect the part.
This analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential signal between the output of the resistive scaler and INGND. Unlike other converters, the INGND input is sampled at the same time as the inputs. By using this differential input, small signals common to both inputs are rejected as shown in Figure 10, which represents the typical CMRR over frequency. For instance, by using INGND to sense a remote signal ground, differences of ground potentials between the sensor and the local ADC ground are eliminated. During the acquisition phase for ac signals, the ADC behaves like a one-pole RC filter consisting of the equivalent resistance of the resistive scaler R/2 in series with R1 and CS. The resistor R1 is typically 100 W and is a lumped component made up of some serial resistor and the on resistance of the switches.

Driver Amplifier Choice

Although the ADC is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs to meet at least the following requirements:
The driver amplifier and the ADC analog input circuit
must be able, together, to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%).
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept
as low as possible in order to preserve the SNR and transition noise performance of the ADC. The noise coming from the driver is first scaled down by the resistive scaler according to the analog input voltage range used, and is then filtered by the ADC analog input circuit one-pole, low-pass filter made by (R/2 + R1) and CS. The SNR degradation due to the amplifier is:

For instance, when using the 0 V to 5 V range, a driver like the AD15700’s internal op amp, with an equivalent input noise of 15 nV/
÷
Hz and configured as a buffer, followed by
a 3.2 MHz RC filter, the SNR degrades by about 1.3 dB.
The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable
to that of the ADC. Figure 11 gives the THD versus
frequency that the driver should preferably exceed.

Voltage Reference Input

The ADC uses an external 2.5 V voltage reference. The voltage reference input REF of the ADC has a dynamic input impedance. Therefore, it should be driven by a low impedance source with an efficient decoupling between REF and REFGND inputs. This decoupling depends on the choice of the voltage reference, but usually consists of a low ESR tantalum capacitor connected to the REF and REFGND inputs with minimum parasitic inductance. 47 mF is an appropriate value for the tantalum capacitor when used with one of the recommended reference voltages:
The low noise, low temperature drift ADR421 or AD780
voltage references
The low power ADR291 voltage reference
The low cost AD1582 voltage reference
Care should also be taken with the reference temperature coefficient of the voltage reference, which directly affects the full-scale accuracy if this parameter matters. For instance, a ± 15 ppm/∞C tempco of the reference changes the full scale by ± 1 LSB/∞C.
Scaler Reference Input (Bipolar Input Ranges)
When using the ADC with bipolar input ranges, a buffer amplifier is required to isolate the REFIN pin from the signal dependent current in the AIN pin. A high speed op amp can be used with a single 5 V power supply without degrading the performance of the ADC. The buffer must have good settling characteristics and provide low total noise within the input bandwidth of the ADC.

Power Supply

The ADC uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog 5 V supply AVDD, a digital 5 V core supply DVDD, and a digital input/output interface supply OVDD. The OVDD supply allows direct interface with any logic working between 2.7 V and 5.25 V. To reduce the number of supplies needed, the digital core (DVDD) can be supplied through a simple RC filter from the analog supply. The ADC is independent of power supply sequencing and thus free from supply voltage induced latchup. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 12.

POWER DISSIPATION

In impulse mode, the ADC automatically reduces its power consumption at the end of each conversion phase. During the acquisition phase, the operating currents are very low, which allows a significant power savings when the conversion rate is reduced, as shown in Figure 13. This feature makes the ADC ideal for very low power battery applications.
This does not take into account the power, if any, dissipated by the input resistive scaler, which depends on the input voltage range
used and the analog input voltage even in power-down mode. There is no power dissipated when the 0 V to 2.5 V is used or when both the analog input voltage is 0 V and a unipolar range, 0 V to 5 V or 0 V to 10 V, is used.
It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital supply currents even further, the digital inputs need to be driven close to the power rails (i.e., DVDD and DGND) and OVDD should not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V.

DIGITAL INTERFACE

The ADC has a versatile digital interface; it can be interfaced with the host system by using either a serial or parallel interface. The serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The ADC digital interface also accommodates both 3 V or 5 V logic by simply connecting the OVDD supply pin of the ADC to the host system interface digital supply.

Figure 14. Basic Conversion Timing
In impulse mode, conversions can be automatically initiated. If CNVST is held low when BUSY is low, the ADC controls the acquisition phase and then automatically initiates a new conversion. By keeping CNVST low, the ADC keeps the conversion process running by itself. It should be noted that the analog input has to be settled when BUSY goes low. Also, at power-up, CNVST should be brought low once to initiate the conversion process.
at least one of these signals is high, the interface outputs are in high impedance. Usually, CS_ADC allows the selection of each ADC in multicircuit applications and is held low in a single ADC design. RD is generally used to enable the conversion result on the data bus.

Although CNVST is a digital signal, it should be designed with special care with fast, clean edges, and levels with minimum overshoot and undershoot or ringing. It is a good thing to shield the CNVST trace with ground and also to add a low value serial resistor (i.e., 50 W) termination close to the output of the com­ponent that drives this line.

PARALLEL INTERFACE

The ADC is configured to use the parallel interface when the SER/PAR is held low. The data can be read either after each conversion, which is during the next acquisition phase, or during the following conversion as shown, respectively, in Figures 18
19. When the data is read during the conversion, however,
and is recommended that it be read only during the first conversion phase. That avoids any potential feedthrough

The BYTESWAP pin allows a glueless interface to an 8-bit bus. As shown in Figure 19, the LSB byte is output on D[7:0] and the MSB is output on D[15:8] when BYTESWAP is low. When BYTESWAP is high, the LSB and MSB are swapped and the LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output on D[7:0]. By connecting BYTESWAP to an address line, the 16 data bits can be read in two bytes on either D[15:8] or D[7:0].

SERIAL INTERFACE

The ADC is configured to use the serial interface when the SER/PAR is held high. The ADC outputs 16 bits of data, MSB first, on the SDOUT pin. This data is synchronized with the 16 clock pulses provided on the SCLK pin. The output data is valid on both the rising and falling edge of the data clock.
MASTER SERIAL INTERFACE Internal Clock
The ADC is configured to generate and provide the serial data clock SCLK when the EXT/INT pin is held low. It also generates a SYNC signal to indicate to the host when the serial data is valid. The serial clock SCLK and the SYNC signal can be inverted if desired. Depending on RDC/SDIN input, the data can be read after each conversion or during conversion. Figures 20 and 21 show the detailed timing diagrams of these two modes.
Usually, because the ADC is used with a fast throughput, the mode master read during conversion is the most recommended serial mode when it can be used.
In read during conversion mode, the serial clock and data toggle
at appropriate instants, which minimizes potential feedthrough between digital activity and the critical conversion decisions.
In read after conversion mode, it should be noted that unlike in other modes, the signal BUSY returns low after the 16 data bits are pulsed out and not at the end of the conversion phase, which results in a longer BUSY width.
SLAVE SERIAL INTERFACE External Clock
The ADC is configured to accept an externally supplied serial data clock on the SCLK pin when the EXT/INT pin is held high. In this mode, several methods can be used to read the data. The external serial clock is gated by CS_ADC and the data are output when both CS_ADC and RD are low. Thus, depending on CS_ADC, the data can be read after each conversion or during the following conversion. The external clock can be either a continuous or discontinuous clock. A discontinuous clock can be either normally high or normally low when inactive. Figure 22 and Figure 24 show the detailed timing diagrams of these methods.

While the ADC is performing a bit decision, it is important that voltage transients not occur on digital input/output pins or degradation of the conversion result could occur. This is particu­larly important during the second half of the conversion phase because the ADC provides error correction circuitry that can correct for an improper bit decision made during the first half of the conversion phase. For this reason, it is recommended that when an external clock is being provided, it is a discontinuous clock that is toggling only when BUSY is low or, more importantly, that it does not transition during the latter half of BUSY high.

External Discontinuous Clock Data Read after Conversion

Though the maximum throughput cannot be achieved using this mode, it is the most recommended of the serial slave modes. Figure 22 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method. After a conversion is complete, indicated by BUSY returning low, the result of this conversion can be read while both CS_ADC and RD are low. The data is shifted out, MSB first, with 16 clock pulses and is valid on both the rising and falling edge of the clock. Among the advantages of this method is that the conversion perfor­mance is not degraded because there are no voltage transients on the digital interface during the conversion process. Another advan­tage is to be able to read the data at any speed up to 40 MHz, which accommodates both slow digital host interface and the fastest serial reading.
Finally, in this mode only, the ADC provides a daisy-chain feature using the RDC/SDIN input pin for cascading multiple converters together. This feature is useful for reducing compo and wiring connections when desired as, for instance,
nent count
in isolated
multiconverter applications.
An example of the concatenation of two devices is shown in Figure 23. Simultaneous sampling is possible by using a common CNVST signal. It should be noted that the RDC/SDIN input is latched on the opposite edge of SCLK of the one used to shift out the data on SDOUT. Therefore, the MSB of the “upstream” converter just follows the LSB of the “downstream” converter on the next SCLK cycle.

External Clock Data Read during Conversion

Figure 24 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method. During a conversion, while both CS_ADC and RD are low, the result of the previous conversion can be read. The data is shifted out, MSB first, with 16 clock pulses and is valid on both the rising and falling edge of the clock. The 16 bits have to be read before the current conversion is complete. If that is not done, RDERROR is pulsed high and can be used to interrupt the host interface to prevent incomplete data reading. There is no daisy-chain feature in this mode and RDC/SDIN input should always be tied either high or low.
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast discontinuous clock of at least 25 MHz when impulse mode is used, and 32 MHz when normal or 40 MHz when warp mode is used, the first to read the data after conversion and continue to read the last bits even after a new conversion has been initiated. That allows the use of a slower clock speed like 18 MHz in impulse mode, 21 MHz in normal mode, and 26 MHz in warp mode.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING

The ADC is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement appli­cations supporting a microprocessor, and ac signal processing applications interfacing to a digital signal processor. The ADC is designed to interface either with a parallel 8-bit or 16-bit wide interface or with a general-purpose serial port or I/O ports on a microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can be used with the ADC to prevent digital noise from coupling into the ADC.
The following sections illustrate the use of the ADC with an SPI equipped microcontroller, the ADSP-21065L and ADSP-218x signal processors.

SPI Interface (MC68HC11)

Figure 25 shows an interface diagram between the ADC and an SPI equipped microcontroller like the MC68HC11. To accommodate the slower speed of the microcontroller, the ADC acts as a slave device and data must be read after conversion. This mode also allows the daisy-chain feature. The convert command could be initiated in response to an internal timer interrupt. The reading of output data, one byte at a time, if necessary, could be initiated in response to the end-of-conversion signal (BUSY going low) using an interrupt line of the microcontroller. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) on the MC68HC11 is configured for master mode (MSTR) = 1, Clock Polarity Bit (CPOL) = 0, Clock Phase Bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI Interrupt Enable (SPIE) = 1 by writing to the SPI Control Register (SPCR). The IRQ is configured for edge-sensitive-only operation (IRQE = 1 in OPTION register).

ADSP-21065L in Master Serial Interface

As shown in Figure 26, AD15700s can be interfaced to the ADSP-21065L using the serial interface in master mode without any glue logic required. This mode combines the advantages of reducing the wire connections and the ability to read the data during or after conversion at maximum speed transfer (DIVSCLK[0:1] both low).
The ADC is configured for the internal clock mode (EXT/INT low) and acts, therefore, as the master device. The convert com-
can be generated by either an external low jitter oscillator
mand or, as shown, by a FLAG output of the ADSP-21065L or by a frame output TFS of one serial port of the ADSP-21065L, which can be used like a timer. The serial port on the ADSP-21065L is configured for external clock (IRFS = 0), rising edge active (CKRE = 1),
external late framed sync signals
(IRFS = 0, LAFS = 1, RFSR = 1), and active high (LRFS = 0). The serial port of the ADSP-21065L is configured by writing to its receive control register (SRCTL)—see the ADSP-2106x SHARC User’s Manual. Because the serial port within the ADSP-21065L will be seeing a discontinuous clock, an initial word reading has to be done after the ADSP-21065L has been reset to ensure that the serial port is properly synchronized to this clock during each following data read operation.

APPLICATION HINTS Layout
The AD15700’s ADC has very good immunity to noise on the power supplies as can be seen in Figure 12. However, care should still be taken with regard to grounding layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD15700 should be designed so the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be easily separated. Digital and analog ground planes should be joined in only one place, preferably underneath the AD15700, or at least as close as possible to the AD15700. If the AD15700 is in a system where multiple devices require analog-to-digital ground connections, the connection should still be made at one point only, a star ground point, which
should be established as close as possible to the AD15700. It is recom­mended to avoid running digital lines under the device as these will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane be allowed to run under the switching signals like CNVST
should
or clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, and should never run near analog signal paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals should be avoided. Traces on different but close layers of the board should run at right angles to each other. This will reduce the effect of feedthrough through the board.
The power supply lines to the AD15700 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. Good decoupling is also impor­tant to lower the supply impedance presented to the AD15700 and reduce the magnitude of the supply spikes. Decoupling ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should be placed on each power supply pin, AVDD, DVDD, and OVDD, close to and ideally right up against these pins and their corresponding ground pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 nF capacitors should be located in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce low frequency ripple.
The DVDD supply of the AD15700 can be either a separate supply or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the digital interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply is noisy, or fast switching digital signals are present, it is recommended if no separate supply is available to connect the DVDD digital supply to the analog supply AVDD through an RC filter, and connect the system supply to the interface digital supply OVDD and the remaining digital circuitry. When DVDD is powered from the system supply, it is useful to insert a bead to further reduce high frequency spikes.

AD15700
The AD15700’s ADC has five different ground pins: INGND, REFGND, AGND, DGND, and OGND. INGND is used to sense the analog input signal. REFGND senses the reference voltage and should be a low impedance return to the reference because it carries pulsed currents. AGND is the ground to which most internal ADC analog signals are referenced. This ground must be connected with the least resistance to the analog ground plane. DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane depending on the configuration. OGND is connected to the digital system ground.
The layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is important. The decoupling capacitor should be close to the ADC and connected with short and large traces to minimize parasitic inductances.

DAC Circuit Information

The DAC is a single 14-bit, serial input voltage output. It operates from a single supply ranging from 2.7 V to 5 V and consumes typically 300 mA with a supply of 5 V. Data is written to the devices in a 14-bit word format, via a 3- or 4-wire serial interface. To ensure a known power-up state, the parts were designed with a power-on reset function. In unipolar mode, the output is reset to 0 V.

Digital-to-Analog Section

The DAC architecture consists of two matched DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown in Figure 31. The four MSBs of the 14-bit data-word are decoded to drive 15 switches, E1 to E15. Each of these switches connects one of 15 matched resistors to either AGND or VREF. The remaining 10 bits of the data-word drive switches S0 to S9 of a 10-bit voltage mode R-2R ladder network.

Unipolar Output Operation

The DAC is capable of driving unbuffered loads of 60 kW. Unbuffered operation results in low supply current, typically 300 mA, and a low offset error. The DAC provides a unipolar output swing ranging from 0 V to VREF. Figure 32 shows a typical unipolar output voltage circuit. The code table for this mode of operation is shown in Table IV.

Output Amplifier Selection

In a single-supply application, selection of a suitable op amp may be more difficult as the output swing of the amplifier does not usually include the negative rail, in this case AGND. This can result in some degradation of the specified performance unless the application does not use codes near zero.
The selected op amp needs to have very low offset voltage (the DAC LSB is 152 mV with a 2.5 V reference) to eliminate the need for output offset trims. Input bias current should also be very low as the bias current multiplied by the DAC output impedance (approximately 6 kW) will add to the zero code error. Rail-to-rail input and output performance is required. For fast settling, the slew rate of the op amp should not impede the settling time of the DAC. Output impedance of the DAC is constant and code independent, but in order to minimize gain errors, the input impedance of the output amplifier should be as high as possible. The amplifier should also have a 3 dB band­width of 1 MHz or greater. The amplifier adds another time constant to the system, thus increasing the settling time of the output. A higher 3 dB amplifier bandwidth results in a faster effective settling time of the combined DAC and amplifier.

Force Sense Buffer Amplifier Selection

These amplifiers can be single-supply or dual-supply, low noise amplifiers. A low output impedance at high frequencies is pre­ferred to be able to handle dynamic currents of up to ± 20 mA.

Reference and Ground

As the input impedance is code dependent, the reference pin should be driven from a low impedance source. The DAC oper­ates with a voltage reference ranging from 2 V to V
. Although
DD
DAC’s full-scale output voltage is determined by the reference, references below 2 V will result in reduced accuracy. Table IV outlines the analog output voltage for particular digital codes.

Power-On Reset

The DAC has a power-on reset function to ensure the output is at a known state upon power-up. On power-up, the DAC register contains all zeros, until data is loaded from the serial register. However, the serial register is not cleared on power-up, so its contents are undefined. When loading data initially to the DAC, 14 bits or more should be loaded to prevent erroneous data appearing on the output. If more than 14 bits are loaded, only the last 14 are kept, and if fewer than 14 are loaded, bits will remain from the previous word. If the DAC needs to be interfaced with data shorter than 14 bits, the data should be padded with zeros at the LSBs.

Power Supply and Reference Bypassing

For accurate high resolution performance, it is recommended that the reference and supply pins be bypassed with a 10 nF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 nF ceramic capacitor.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING

Microprocessor interfacing to the DAC is via a serial bus that uses standard protocol compatible with DSP processors and microcontrollers. The communications channel requires a 3-wire interface consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a synchronization signal. The DAC requires a 14-bit data-word with data valid on the rising edge of SCLK. The DAC update may be done automatically when all the data is clocked in.

ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 to DAC Interface

Figure 33 shows a serial interface between the DAC and the ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103. The ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 should be set to operate in the SPORT (Serial Port) Transmit Alternate Framing Mode. The ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 is programmed through the SPORT Control Register and should be configured as follows: internal clock operation, active low framing, 16-bit word length. The first two bits are DON’T CARE as the DAC will keep the last 14 bits. Transmission is initiated by writing a word to the Tx Register after the SPORT has been enabled. Because of the edge-triggered difference, an inverter is required at the SCLKs between the DSP and the DAC.
The 80C51/80L51 provides the LSB first, while the DAC expects the MSB of the 14-bit word first. Care should be taken to ensure the transmit routine takes this into account. Usually it can be done through software by shifting out and accumulating the bits in the correct order before inputting to the DAC. Also, 80C51 outputs 2-byte word/16-bit data. Thus the first two bits,

When data is to be transmitted to the DAC, P3.3 is taken low. Data on RxD is valid on the falling edge of TxD, so the clock must be inverted as the DAC clocks data into the input shift register on the rising edge of the serial clock. The 80C51/80L51 transmits its data in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle. As the DAC requires a 14-bit word, P3.3 (or any one of the other programmable bits) is the CS_DAC input signal to the DAC, so P3.3 should be brought low at the beginning of the 16-bit write cycle 2 ⫻ 8-bit words and held low until the 16-bit 2 8 cycle is completed. After that, P3.3 is brought high again and the new data loads to the DAC. Again, the first two bits, after rearranging, should be DON’T CARE.
APPLICATIONS Optocoupler Interface
The digital inputs of the DAC are Schmitt-triggered, so they can these necessary for the DAC to be isolated from the controller via optocouplers. Figure 37 illustrates such an interface.

Serial data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock and into the DAC on the rising edge of the serial clock. No glue logic is required as the DAC clocks data into the input shift register on the rising edge.

Decoding Multiple DACs

The CS_DAC pin of the DAC can be used to select one of a number of DACs. All devices receive the same serial clock and serial data, but only one device will receive the CS_DAC signal at any one time. The DAC addressed will be determined by the decoder. There will be some digital feedthrough from the digital input lines. Using a burst clock will minimize the effects of digital feedthrough on the analog signal channels. Figure 38 shows a typical circuit.

AMPLIFIER THEORY OF OPERATION

The amplifiers are single and dual versions of high speed, low power voltage feedback amplifiers featuring an innovative archi­tecture that maximizes the dynamic range capability on the inputs and outputs. Linear input common-mode range exceeds either supply voltage by 200 mV, and the amplifiers show no phase reversal up to 500 mV beyond supply. The output swings to within 20 mV of either supply when driving a light load; 300 mV when driving up to 5 mA.
The amplifier provides an impressive 80 MHz bandwidth when used as a follower and 30 V/ms slew rate at only 800 mA supply current. Careful design allows the amplifier to operate with a supply voltage as low as 2.7 V.

Input Stage Operation

A simplified schematic of the input stage appears in Figure 39. For common-mode voltages up to 1.1 V within the positive supply, (0 V to 3.9 V on a single 5 V supply) tail current I2 flows through the PNP differential pair, Q13 and Q17. Q5 is cut off; no bias current is routed to the parallel NPN differential pair Q2 and Q3. As the common-mode voltage is driven within 1.1 V of the positive supply, Q5 turns on and routes the tail current away from the PNP pair and to the NPN pair. During this transition region, the amplifier’s input current will change magnitude and direction. Reusing the same tail current ensures that the input stage has the same transconductance (which determines the amplifier’s gain and bandwidth) in both regions of operation.
Switching to the NPN pair as the common-mode voltage is driven beyond 1 V within the positive supply allows the amplifier to provide useful operation for signals at either end of the supply voltage range and eliminates the possibility of phase reversal for input signals up to 500 mV beyond either power supply. Offset voltage will also change to reflect the offset of the input pair in control. The transition region is small, on the order of 180 mV. These sudden changes in the dc parameters of the input stage can produce glitches that will adversely affect distortion.

Overdriving the Input Stage

Sustained input differential voltages greater than 3.4 V should be avoided as the input transistors may be damaged. Input clamp diodes are recommended if the possibility of this condition exists.
The voltages at the collectors of the input pairs are set to 200 mV from the power supply rails. This allows the amplifier to remain in linear operation for input voltages up to 500 mV beyond the supply voltages. Driving the input common-mode voltage beyond that point will forward bias the collector junction of the input transistor, resulting in phase reversal. Sustaining this condition for any length of time should be avoided as it is easy to exceed the maximum allowed input differential voltage when the amplifier
Used as a unity gain follower, the amplifier output will exhibit more distortion in the peak output voltage region around V the input stage architecture and is discussed in detail in the section covering Input Stage Operation.

Output Overdrive Recovery

Output overdrive of an amplifier occurs when the amplifier attempts to drive the output voltage to a level outside its normal range. After the overdrive condition is removed, the amplifier must recover to normal operation in a reasonable amount of time. As shown in Figure 41, the amplifier recovers within 100 ns from negative overdrive and within 80 ns from positive overdrive.

Output Stage, Open-Loop Gain, and Distortion Versus Clearance from Power Supply

The capacitive load drive of the amplifier can be increased by
Figure 40. Output Stage Simplified Schematic
The output voltage limit depends on how much current the output transistors are required to source or sink. For applica­tions with very low drive requirements (a unity gain follower driving another amplifier input, for instance), the amplifier typically swings within 20 mV of either voltage supply.

adding a low valued resistor in series with the capacitive load. Introducing a series resistor tends to isolate the capacitive load from the feedback loop, thereby diminishing its influence. Figure 42 shows the effect of a series resistor on capacitive drive for varying voltage gains. As the closed-loop gain is increased, larger phase margin allows for larger capacitive loads with overshoot. Adding a series resistor at lower closed-loop gains accomplishes the same effect. For large capacitive loads, the frequency response of the amplifier will be dominated by the roll-off of the series resistor and capacitive load.
sistors are typically 25 W. As the current load exceeds the rated output current of 15 mA, the amount of base drive current required to drive the output transistor into saturation will reach its limit, and the amplifier’s output swing will rapidly decrease.
The open-loop gain of the amplifier decreases approximately linearly with load resistance and also depends on the output voltage. Open-loop gain stays constant to within 250 mV of the positive power supply, 150 mV of the negative power supply and then decreases as the output transistors are driven further into saturation.
The distortion performance of the amplifiers differs from conventional amplifiers. Typically an amplifier’s distortion performance degrades as the output voltage amplitude increases.

High Performance Single-Supply Line Driver

Even though the amplifier swings close to both rails, the amplifier has optimum distortion performance when the signal has a common­mode level halfway between the supplies and when there is about 500 mV of headroom to each rail. If low distortion is required in single-supply applications for signals that swing close to ground, an emitter follower circuit can be used at the amplifier output.

to minimizing reflections, the 50 W back termination resistor pro- tects the transistor from damage if the cable is short circuited. The emitter follower, which is inside the feedback loop, ensures that the output voltage from the amplifier stays about 700 mV above ground. Using this circuit, very low distortion is attain­able even when the output signal swings to within 50 mV of ground. The circuit was tested at 500 kHz and 2 MHz. Figures 44 and 45 show the output signal swing and frequency spectrum at 500 kHz. At this frequency, the output signal (at V
OUT
), which has a peak-to-peak swing of 1.95 V (50 mV to 2 V), has a THD of –68 dB (SFDR = –77 dB).
Figures 46 and 47 show the output signal swing and frequency spectrum at 2 MHz. As expected, there is some degradation in signal quality at the higher frequency. When the output signal has a peak-to-peak swing of 1.45 V (swinging from 50 mV to 1.5 V), the THD is –55 dB (SFDR = –60 dB). This circuit could also be used to drive the analog input of a single-supply high speed ADC whose input voltage range is referenced to ground (e.g., 0 V to 2 V or 0 V to 4 V). In this case, a back termination resistor is not necessary (assuming a short physical distance from transistor to ADC), so the emitter of the external transistor would be connected directly to the ADC input. The available output voltage swing of the circuit would, therefore, be doubled.
