The AD5590 is a 16-channel input and 16-channel output
analog I/O port with eight uncommitted amplifiers, operating
from a single 4.5 V to 5.25 V supply. The AD5590 comprises
16 input channels multiplexed into a 1 MSPS, 12-bit successive
approximation ADC with a sequencer to allow a preprogrammed
selection of channels to be converted sequentially. The ADC
contains a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier
that can handle input frequencies in excess of 1 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using
ASYNC
and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily
interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is
sampled on the falling edge of
initiated at this point. There are no pipeline delays associated
with the ADC. By setting the relevant bits in the control register,
the analog input range for the ADC can be selected to be a 0 V
to V
input or a 0 V to 2 × V
REFA
or twos complement output coding. The conversion time is
determined by the ASCLK frequency because it is also used
as the master clock to control the conversion.
ASYNC
and conversion is also
with either straight binary
REFA
The DAC section of the AD5590 comprises sixteen 12-bit DACs
divided into two groups of eight. Each group has an on-chip
reference. The on-board references are off at power-up, allowing
the use of external references. The internal references are enabled
via a software write.
The AD5590 incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures
that the DAC outputs power up to 0 V and remain powered up
at this level until a valid write takes place. The DAC contains a
power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of
the device and provides software-selectable output loads while
in power-down mode for any or all DAC channels. The outputs
of all DACs can be updated simultaneously using the
function, with the added functionality of user-selectable DAC
channels to simultaneously update. There is also an asynchronous
CLR
that updates all DACs to a user-programmable code: zero
scale, midscale, or full scale.
The AD5590 contains eight low noise, single-supply amplifiers.
These amplifiers can be used for signal conditioning for the
ADCs, DACs, or other independent circuitry, if required.

t3b represents a worst-case figure for having ADD3 available on the ADOUT line, that is, if the ADC goes back into three-state at the end of a conversion and some
other device takes control of the bus between conversions, the user needs to wait a maximum time of t3b before having ADD3 valid on the ADOUT line. If the ADOUT
line is weakly driven to ADD3 between conversions, then the user typically needs to wait 17 ns at 3 V and 12 ns at 5 V after the
valid on ADOUT.

t8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 3. The measured number is then extrapolated
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 25 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t8, quoted in the timing characteristics, is the true bus relinquish
time of the part and is independent of bus loading.

Table 10. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
M7
Frame Synchronization Signal. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of
ASYNC
initiating ADC conversions and also frames the serial data transfer.
J11 V
REFA
Reference Input for the ADC Block. An external reference must be applied to this input. The voltage
range for the external reference is 2.5 V ± 1% for specified performance.
M8 ADCVDD
Power Supply Input for the ADC Block. The ADC can operate from 4.5 V to 5.25 V, and the supply
should be decoupled with a 10 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor to ADCGND.
M5 ADCGND
Ground Reference Point for the ADC Block. All ADC analog/digital input/output signals and any
external reference signal should be referred to this ADCGND voltage.
Analog Input 0 through Analog Input 15. Sixteen single-ended analog input channels that are
multiplexed into the on-chip track and hold. The analog input channel to be converted is selected by
using the ADD3 through ADD0 address bits of the control register. The address bits in conjunction
with the SEQ and shadow bits allow the sequence register to be programmed. The input range for all
input channels can extend from 0 V to V
control register. Any unused input channels should be connected to GND to avoid noise pickup.
L8 ADIN
ADC Data In. Logic input. Data to be written to the control register of the ADC is provided on this input and

M6 ADOUT
Data Out. Logic output. The conversion result from the ADC block is provided on this output as a serial
data stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the ASCLK input. The data stream consists
of four address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the
12 bits of conversion data, which is provided MSB first. The output coding can be selected as straight
binary or twos complement via the coding bit in the control register.

TERMINOLOGY
DAC Integrated Nonline arity
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.
DAC Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) 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. The DAC is guaranteed
monotonic by design.
DAC Offs et Error
Offset error is a measure of the difference between the actual
V
and the ideal V
OUT
region of the transfer function. It can be negative or positive
and is expressed in millivolts.
DAC Zero-Code Error
Zero-code error is a measure of the output error when zero
code (0x0000) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the
output should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive
because the output of the DAC cannot go below 0 V. It is due
to a combination of the offset errors in the DAC and output
amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in millivolts.
DAC Gai n Erro r
Gain error is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the
deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the
ideal, expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range.
DAC Zero-Code Error Drift
Zero-code error drift is a measure of the change in zero-code
error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in microvolts
per degree Celsius.
DAC Gain Error Drift
Gain error drift is a measure of the change in gain error with
changes in temperature. It is expressed in ppm of full-scale
range per degree Celsius.
DAC Fu l l -Scale Er ror
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code (0xFFFF) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be V
percentage of the full-scale range. Figure 10 shows a plot of
typical full-scale error vs. temperature.
DAC 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-sec
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by 1
LSB at the major carry transition (0x7FFF to 0x8000).

DAC DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes
in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the change in V

varied ±10%.
DAC DC Crosstalk
DC crosstalk is the dc change in the output level of one DAC
in response to a change in the output of another DAC. It is
measured with a full-scale output change on one DAC (or
soft power-down and power-up) while monitoring another
DAC kept at midscale. It is expressed in microvolts.
DC crosstalk due to load current change is a measure of the
impact that a change in load current on one DAC has to
another DAC kept at midscale. It is expressed in microvolts
per milliamp.
Reference Feedthrough
Reference feedthrough is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal
at the DAC output to the reference input when the DAC output
is not being updated (that is,

DAC Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into
the analog output of a DAC from the digital input pins of the
device, but is measured when the DAC is not being written to
SYNC
(
held high). It is specified in nV-sec and measured with
a full-scale change on the digital input pins, that is, from all 0s
to all 1s or vice versa.
DAC Dig ital Cro sstalk
Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC at midscale in response to a full-scale code change
(all 0s to all 1s or vice versa) in the input register of another
DAC. It is measured in standalone mode and is expressed in
nV-sec.
DAC Analog Crosstalk
Analog crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC due to a change in the output of another DAC. It is
measured by loading one of the input registers with a full-scale
code change (all 0s to all 1s or vice versa) while keeping
high, and then pulsing
of the DAC whose digital code has not changed. The area of the
glitch is expressed in nV-sec.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the
output of one DAC due to a digital code change and subsequent
output change of another DAC. This includes both digital and
analog crosstalk. It is measured by loading one of the DACs with a
full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s or vice versa) with

Multiplying Bandwidth
The amplifiers within the DAC have a finite bandwidth. The
multiplying bandwidth is a measure of this. A sine wave on the
reference (with full-scale code loaded to the DAC) appears on
the output. The multiplying bandwidth is the frequency at
which the output amplitude falls to 3 dB below the input.
DAC Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Total harmonic distortion is the difference between an ideal
sine wave and its attenuated version using the DAC. The sine
wave is used as the reference for the DAC, and the THD is a
measure of the harmonics present on the DAC output. It is
measured in decibels.
ADC Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
ADC Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB
below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB
above the last code transition.
ADC Offset Error
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00…000 to
00…001) from the ideal, that is, ADCGND + 1 LSB.

This is the difference in negative gain error between any two

ADC Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of
crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a fullscale 400 kHz sine wave signal to all 15 nonselected input
channels and determining how much that signal is attenuated
in the selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. The figure is given
worst case across all 16 channels for the ADC.
ADC PSR (Power Supply Rejection)
Variations in power supply affect the full scale transition, but
not the linearity of the converter. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in full-scale transition point due to a change
in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the Typ ic a l
Performance Characteristics section).
ADC Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track on the 14
th
ASCLK falling edge. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the
minimum time required for the track-and-hold amplifier to
remain in track mode for its output to reach and settle to within
±1 LSB of the applied input signal, given a step change to the
input signal.
ADC Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the analog-to-digital converter. The signal is the rms
amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (f
/2), excluding
S
dc. The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels
in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio
for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by

Thus, for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.

ADC Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to f
fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for ADCs
where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it is a
noise peak.
ADC Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa
and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms
are those for which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For
/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the
S
example, the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb),
while the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa +
2fb), and (fa − 2fb).
The ADC is tested using the CCIF standard where two input
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves whereas the third-order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.
As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified
separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion
is as per the THD specification, where it is the ratio of the rms
sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude
of the sum of the fundamentals expressed in decibels.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5590 is an analog I/O module. The output port contains
sixteen 12-bit voltage output DAC channels. The DAC channels
are divided into two groups of eight DACs, each of which can be
programmed independently. Each group of DACs contains its
own internal 2.5 V reference. The references are powered down
by default allowing the use of external references, if required.
Either internal reference can be powered up and used as a reference for the ADC section. This is achieved by connecting the

without buffering.
The input port comprises a single, 12-bit, 1 MSPS ADC with
16 multiplexed input channels. The ADC contains a sequencer
that allows it to sample any combination of the sixteen channels.
The AD5590 also contains eight rail-to-rail low noise amplifiers.
These amplifiers can be used independently or as part of signal
condition for the input or output ports.
Resistor String
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 53. It is simply
a string of resistors, each of Value R. The code loaded into
the DAC register determines at which node on the string the
voltage is tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier. The
voltage is tapped off by closing one of the switches connecting
the string to the amplifier. Because it is a string of resistors, it is
guaranteed monotonic.

Sixteen DACs make up the output port of the AD5590. Each
DAC consists of a string of resistors followed by an output

DAC Internal Reference
The DAC section has two on-chip 2.5 V references with
an internal gain of 2, giving a full-scale output of 5 V. The
on-board reference is off at power-up, allowing the use of
an external reference. The internal references are enabled
via a write to the appropriate control register (see Tab l e 11 ).
The internal references associated with each group of DACs
are available at the V

buffer is required if the reference output is used to drive external
loads. When using the internal reference, it is recommended
that a 100 nF capacitor be placed between the reference output
and DACGND for reference stability.
Individual channel power-down is not supported while using
the internal reference.
DAC Output Amplifier
The output buffer amplifier can generate rail-to-rail voltages on
its output, which gives an output range of 0 V to DACV

amplifier is capable of driving a load of 2 kΩ in parallel with
1000 pF to DACGND. The source and sink capabilities of the

ADC SECTION
The ADC section is a fast, 16-channel, 12-bit, single-supply,
analog-to-digital converter. The ADC is capable of throughput
rates of up to 1 MSPS when provided with a 20 MHz clock.
The ADC section provides the user with an on-chip trackand-hold, analog-to-digital converter. The ADC section has
16 single-ended input channels with a channel sequencer,
allowing the user to select a sequence of channels through
which the ADC can cycle with each consecutive
ASYNC
falling
edge. The serial clock input accesses data from the ADC, controls
the transfer of data written to the ADC, and provides the clock
source for the successive approximation ADC converter. The
analog input range for the ADC is 0 V to V
depending on the status of Bit 1 in the control register.

The ADC provides flexible power management options to
allow the user to achieve the best power performance for a
given throughput rate. These options are selected by programming the power management bits in the ADC control register.
ADC CONVERTER OPERATION
The ADC is a 12-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter based around a capacitive DAC. The ADC can convert
analog input signals in the range 0 V to V
Figure 54 and Figure 55 show simplified schematics of the ADC.
The ADC comprises control logic, SAR, and a capacitive DAC,
which are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge
from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back
into a balanced condition. Figure 54 shows the ADC during
its acquisition phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is in Position
A. The comparator is held in a balanced condition and the
sampling capacitor acquires the signal on the selected VIN
channel.

When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 55), SW2 opens
and SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become
unbalanced. The control logic and the capacitive DAC are used
to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling
capacitor to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion is
complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code.

Analog Input
Figure 56 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure
of the ADC. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection
for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog
input signal never exceed the supply rails by more than 200 mV.
This causes these diodes to become forward biased and start
conducting current into the substrate. 10 mA is the maximum
current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible
damage to the ADC. Capacitor C1 in Figure 56 is typically about
4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor

The total resistance is typically about 400 Ω. Capacitor C2 is
the ADC sampling capacitor and typically has a capacitance of

from the analog input signal is recommended by use of an RC
low-pass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications
where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical,
drive the analog input from a low impedance source. Large
source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of
the ADC. This may necessitate the use of an input buffer

amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function of the
particular application.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, limit the
source impedance to low values. The maximum source impedance
depends on the amount of total harmonic distortion (THD) that
can be tolerated. The THD increases as the source impedance
increases, and performance degrades (see Figure 28).

ADC Transfer Function
The output coding of the ADC is either straight binary or twos
complement, depending on the status of the LSB (range bit) in
the ADC control register. The designed code transitions occur
midway between successive LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs,
and so on). The LSB size is equal to V

Analog Input Selection
Any one of 16 analog input channels can be selected for conversion
by programming the multiplexer with the ADD3 to ADD0
address bits in the ADC control register. The channel configurations are shown in Tab l e 2 3 . The ADC can also be configured to
automatically cycle through a number of channels as selected.
The sequencer feature is accessed via the SEQ and shadow bits
in the ADC control register (see Tabl e 21 ). The ADC can be
programmed to continuously convert on a selection of channels
in ascending order. The analog input channels to be converted
on are selected through programming the relevant bits in the
shadow register (see Ta ble 2 6). The next serial transfer then acts
on the sequence programmed by executing a conversion on the
lowest channel in the selection.
The next serial transfer results in a conversion on the next
highest channel in the sequence, and so on. It is not necessary
to write to the ADC control register once a sequencer operation
Rev. 0 | Page 28 of 44
has been initiated. The write bit must be set to 0 to ensure
the ADC control register is not accidentally overwritten, or
the sequence operation interrupted. If the ADC control register
is written to at any time during the sequence, then it must be
ensured that the SEQ and shadow bits are set to 1 and 0,
respectively to avoid interrupting the automatic conversion
sequence. This pattern continues until the ADC is written to
and the SEQ and shadow bits are configured with any bit
combination except 1, 0. On completion of the sequence, the
ADC sequencer returns to the first selected channel in the shadow
register and commence the sequence again if uninterrupted.
Rather than selecting a particular sequence of channels, a number
of consecutive channels beginning with Channel 0 can also be
programmed via the control register alone, without needing
to write to the shadow register. This is possible if the SEQ and
shadow bits are set to 1, 1. The channel address bits, ADD3
through ADD0, then determine the final channel in the consecutive sequence. The next conversion is on Channel 0, then
Channel 1, and so on until the channel selected via the ADD3
through ADD0 address bits is reached. The cycle begins again
on the next serial transfer provided the write bit is set to low
or, if high, that the SEQ and shadow bits are set to 1, 0; then,
the ADC continues its preprogrammed automatic sequence
uninterrupted. Regardless of which channel selection method
is used, the 16-bit word output from the ADC during each
conversion always contains the channel address that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12-bit conversion
result (see the Serial Interface section).
Digital Inputs
The digital inputs applied to the ADC are not limited by the
maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs. Instead, the
digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not restricted

DAC Internal Reference Register
The on-board references in the DAC blocks are off at power-up
by default. This allows the use of an external reference if the
application requires it. The on-board references can be turned
on or off by a user-programmable internal REF register by
setting Bit DB0 high or low (see Tabl e 13). Command 1000 is
reserved for setting the internal REF register (see Ta b le 11 ).
DAC Power-On Reset
The DAC blocks contain a power-on reset circuit that controls
the output voltage during power-up. The DAC outputs power
up to 0 V. The output remains powered up at this level until a
valid write sequence is made to the DAC. This is useful in applications where it is important to know the state of the output of
the DAC while it is in the process of powering up. There is also
a software executable reset function that resets the DAC to the
power-on reset code. Command 0111 is reserved for this reset
function (see Tab le 1 1 ). Any events on
LDAC
or
CLR
during
power-on reset are ignored.
DAC Power-Down Modes
The DAC block contains four separate modes of operation.
Command 0100 is reserved for the power-down function (see
Tabl e 11 ). These modes are software-programmable by setting
Bit DB9 and Bit DB8 in the control register.
Tabl e 15 shows how the state of the bits corresponds to the mode
of operation of the device. Any or all DACs (DAC0 to DAC7 in
Block 1 or DAC8 to DAC15 in Block 2) can be powered down to
the selected mode by setting the corresponding eight bits to 1. See
Tabl e 16 for the contents of the input shift register during powerdown/power-up operation. When using the internal reference,
only all channel power-down to the selected modes is supported.
When both bits are set to 0, each block works normally with its
normal power consumption of 1.3 mA at 5 V. However, for the
three power-down modes, the supply current of each block falls
to 0.4 µA at 5 V. Not only does the supply current fall, but the
output stage is also internally switched from the output of the
amplifier to a resistor network of known values. This has the
advantage that the output impedance of the DAC is known
while it is in power-down mode. There are three different
options. The output is connected internally to GND through
either a 1 kΩ or a 100 kΩ resistor, or it is left open-circuited
(three-state). The output stage is illustrated in Figure 62.

ACCESSING THE ADC BLOCK
The ADC register can be accessed via the serial interface using
the ASCLK , ADIN, ADOUT, and
ASYNC
can be used to dictate the logic levels of the output pins, allowing the ADC to be interfaced to a 3 V DSP while the ADC is
operating at 5 V.
ADC Modes of Operation
The ADC has a number of different modes of operation. These
modes are designed to provide flexible power management options.
These options can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/
throughput rate ratio for differing application requirements.
The mode of operation of the ADC is controlled by the power
management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the ADC control register,
as detailed in Tab le 2 1. When power supplies are first applied to
the ADC, ensure that the ADC is placed in the required mode
of operation (see the Powering Up the ADC section).
Normal Mode (PM1 = PM0 = 1)
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance because the user does not have to worry about any
power-up times with the ADC remaining fully powered at all
times. Figure 64 shows the general diagram of the operation of
the ADC in this mode.

to the ADC control register (provided the write bit is 1). If the
previous write had SEQ = 0 and shadow = 1, the data presented on
the ADIN line on the next 16 ASCLK cycles is loaded into the
shadow register. The ADC remains fully powered up in normal
mode at the end of the conversion as long as PM1 and PM0 are
set to 1 in the write transfer during that conversion. To ensure
continued operation in normal mode, PM1 and PM0 are both

AutoShutdown (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 1)
In this mode, the ADC automatically enters shutdown at the
end of each conversion when the ADC control register is updated.
When the ADC is in shutdown, the track-and-hold is in hold
mode. Figure 66 shows the general diagram of the operation of
the ADC in this mode. In shutdown mode, all internal circuitry
on the ADC is powered down. The ADC retains information in

has elapsed before attempting a valid conversion. When running
the ADC with a 20 MHz clock, one dummy cycle of 16 × ASCLKs
should be sufficient to ensure that the ADC is fully powered up.
During this dummy cycle, the contents of the ADC control
register should remain unchanged; therefore, the write bit
should be 0 on the ADIN line. This dummy cycle effectively
halves the throughput rate of the ADC, with every other
conversion result being valid. In this mode, the power
consumption of the ADC is greatly reduced with the ADC
entering shutdown at the end of each conversion. When the
ADC control register is programmed to move into

Powering Up the ADC
When supplies are first applied to the ADC, the ADC can
power up in any of the operating modes of the ADC. To ensure
that the ADC is placed into the required operating mode, the
user should perform a dummy cycle operation, as outlined in
Figure 68.
The three dummy conversion operations outlined in Figure 68
must be performed to place the ADC into either of the
automatic modes. The first two conversions of this dummy
cycle operation are performed with the ADIN line tied high,
and for the third conversion of the dummy cycle operation, the
user writes the desired control register configuration to the
ADC to place the ADC into the required automode. On the
third
ASYNC
rising edge after the supplies are applied, the
control register contains the correct information and valid data
results from the next conversion.
Therefore, to ensure the ADC is placed into the correct
operating mode when supplies are first applied to the ADC,
the user must first issue two serial write operations with the
ADIN line tied high. On the third conversion cycle, the user
can then write to the ADC control register to place the ADC
into any of the operating modes. To guarantee that the ADC
control register contains the correct data, do not write to the
shadow register until the fourth conversion cycle after the
supplies are applied to the ADC.
If the user wants to place the ADC into either normal mode or
full shutdown mode, the second dummy cycle with ADIN tied
high can be omitted from the three dummy conversion operation outlined in Figure 68.
Interfacing to the ADC

ADC Control Register
The control register on the ADC is a 12-bit, write-only register.
Data is loaded from the ADIN pin of the ADC on the falling
edge of ASCLK. The data is transferred on the ADIN line at the
same time as the conversion result is read from the ADC. The
data transferred on the ADIN line corresponds to the ADC
configuration for the next conversion. This requires 16 serial
clocks for every data transfer. Only the information provided
on the first 12 falling clock edges (after
ASYNC
falling edge) is
loaded to the ADC control register. MSB denotes the first bit
in the data stream. The bit functions are outlined in .
Tabl e 21
Writing of information to the ADC control register takes place
on the first 12 falling edges of ASCLK in a data transfer, assuming
the MSB, that is, the write bit, has been set to 1. If the ADC
control register is programmed to use the shadow register,
writing of information to the shadow register takes place on
all 16 ASCLK falling edges in the next serial transfer (see
Figure 72
of
). The shadow register is updated on the rising edge
ASYNC
and the track-and-hold begins to track the first
channel selected in the sequence.
If the weak/

TRI
bit in the ADC control register is set to 1, rather
th
ASCLK falling
edge, the ADOUT line is instead pulled weakly to the logic level
corresponding to ADD3 of the next serial transfer. This is done
to ensure that the MSB of the next serial transfer is set up in
time for the first ASCLK falling edge after the
edge. If the weak/
TRI
bit is set to 0 and the ADOUT line has
been in true three-state between conversions, then depending
on the particular DSP or microcontroller interfacing to the
ADC, the ADD3 address bit may not be set up in time for the
DSP/microcontroller to clock it in successfully. In this case,
ADD3 is only driven from the falling edge of
then be clocked in by the DSP on the following falling edge of
TRI
ASCLK. However, if the weak/
bit had been set to 1, then
although ADOUT is driven with the ADD3 address bit from
the last conversion, it is nevertheless so weakly driven that
another device may still take control of the bus. It does not lead
to a bus contention (for example, a 10 kΩ pull-up or pull-down
resistor would be sufficient to overdrive the logic level of ADD3
between conversions), and all 16 channels may be identified.
However, if this does happen and another device takes control
of the bus, it is not guaranteed that ADOUT becomes fully
driven to ADD3 again in time for the read operation when
control of the bus is taken back.
This is especially useful if using an automatic sequence mode
to identify to which channel each result corresponds. Obviously,
if only the first eight channels are in use, the ADD3 address bit
does not need to be decoded, and whether it is successfully clocked
in as a 1 or 0 does not matter as long as it is still counted by the
DSP/microcontroller as the MSB of the 16-bit serial transfer.

The value written to this bit of the control register determines whether the following 11 bits are loaded to the control
register or not. If this bit is a 1, the following 11 bits are written to the control register; if it is a 0, the remaining 11 bits
are not loaded to the control register, therefore it remains unchanged.
The SEQ bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the shadow bit to control the use of the sequencer
function and to access the shadow register (see Table 25).
These four address bits are loaded at the end of the current conversion sequence and select which analog input
channel is to be converted on in the next serial transfer, or can select the final channel in a consecutive sequence, as
described in Table 25. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 23 . The address bits corresponding to
the conversion result are also output on ADOUT prior to the 12 bits of data (see the Serial Interface section). The next
channel to be converted on is selected by the mux on the 14
The shadow bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the SEQ bit to control the use of the sequencer
function and access the shadow register (see Table 25).
This bit selects the state of the ADOUT line at the end of the current serial transfer. If it is set to 1, the ADOUT line is
weakly driven to the ADD3 channel address bit of the ensuing conversion. If this bit is set to 0, ADOUT returns to threestate at the end of the serial transfer. See the Serial Interface section for more details.
This bit selects the analog input range to be used on the ADC. If it is set to 0, then the analog input range extends from
0 V to 2 × V
2 × V

This bit selects the type of output coding the ADC uses for the conversion result. If this bit is set to 0, the output coding
for the ADC is twos complement. If this bit is set to 1, the output coding from the ADC is straight binary (for the next
conversion).
. If it is set to 1, then the analog input range extends from 0 V to V
The configuration of the SEQ and shadow bits in the control register allows the user to select a particular mode of operation of the
sequencer function. Tabl e 25 outlines the four modes of operation of the sequencer.
Normal operation. In this mode, the ADC remains in full power mode regardless of the status of any of the logic inputs. This
mode allows the fastest possible throughput rate from the ADC.
Full shutdown. In this mode, the ADC is in full shut down mode, with all circuitry on the ADC powered down. The ADC
retains the information in the control register while in full shutdown. The ADC remains in full shutdown until these bits are
changed in the control register.
Autoshutdown. In this mode, the ADC automatically enters shutdown mode at the end of each conversion when the control
register is updated. Wake-up time from shutdown is 1 µs and the user should ensure that 1 µs has elapsed before attempting
to perform a valid conversion on the ADC in this mode.
Autostandby. In this standby mode, portions of the ADC are powered down, but the on-chip bias generator remains
powered up. This mode is similar to autoshutdown and allows the ADC to power up within one dummy cycle, that is, 1 µs
with a 20 MHz ASCLK.

This configuration means the sequence function is not used. The analog input channel selected for each individual
conversion is determined by the contents of the channel address bits, ADD0 to ADD3, in each prior write operation. This
mode of operation reflects the normal operation of a multichannel ADC, without sequencer function being used, where
each write to the ADC selects the next channel for conversion (see Figure 69).
This configuration selects the shadow register for programming. After the write to the control register, the following
write operation loads the contents of the shadow register. This programs the sequence of channels to be converted on
continuously with each successive valid ASYNC
channels selected need not be consecutive.
If the SEQ and shadow bits are set in this way, the sequence function is not interrupted upon completion of the write
operation. This allows other bits in the control register to be altered while in a sequence without terminating the cycle.
This configuration is used in conjunction with the channel address bits, ADD3 to ADD0, to program continuous
conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels from Channel 0 through to a selected final channel, as determined
by the channel address bits in the control register (see Figure 71).

ADC Shadow Register
The shadow register on the ADC is a 16-bit, write-only register.
Data is loaded from the ADIN pin of the ADC on the falling
edge of ASCLK. The data is transferred on the ADIN line at the
same time as a conversion result is read from the ADC. This
requires 16 serial falling edges for the data transfer. The information is clocked into the shadow register, provided that the
SEQ and shadow bits were set to 0 and 1, respectively, in the
previous write to the control register. MSB denotes the first bit
in the data stream. Each bit represents an analog input from
Channel 0 through to Channel 15. A sequence of channels can
be selected through which the ADC cycles with each consecutive
ASYNC
falling edge after the write to the shadow register. To
select a sequence of channels, the associated channel bit must
be set for each analog input. The ADC continuously cycles
through the selected channels in ascending order, beginning
with the lowest channel, until a write operation occurs (that is,
the write bit is set to 1) with the SEQ and shadow bits
configured in any way except 1, 0 (see ). The bit
functions are outlined in .
Tabl e 26
Tabl e 25
Figure 69 reflects the normal operation of a multichannel ADC,
where each serial transfer selects the next channel for conversion.
In this mode of operation, the sequencer function is not used.
Figure 70 shows how to program the ADC to continuously
convert on a particular sequence of channels. To exit this mode
of operation and revert back to the normal mode of operation
of a multichannel ADC (as outlined in Figure 69), ensure the
write bit = 1 and the SEQ = shadow = 0 on the next serial
transfer.
Figure 71 shows how a sequence of consecutive channels can
be converted without having to program the shadow register
or write to the ADC on each serial transfer. Again, to exit this
mode of operation and revert back to the normal mode of
operation of a multichannel ADC (as outlined in Figure 69),
ensure the write bit = 1 and the SEQ = shadow = 0 on
the next serial transfer.

ADC Power vs. Throughput Rate
By operating the ADC in autoshutdown or autostandby mode,
the average power consumption of the ADC decreases at lower
throughput rates. Figure 73 shows how, as the throughput rate is
reduced, the ADC remains in its shutdown state longer and the
average power consumption over time drops accordingly.
For example, if the ADC is operated in a continuous sampling
mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and an ASCLK of
20 MHz, with PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1 (that is, the device is in
autoshutdown mode), the power consumption is calculated
as follows: the maximum power dissipation during normal
operation is 12.5 mW. If the power-up time from autoshutdown
is one dummy cycle, that is, 1 µs, and the remaining conversion
time is another cycle, that is, 1 µs, the ADC dissipates 12.5 mW
for 2 µs during each conversion cycle. For the remainder of the
conversion cycle, 8 µs, the ADC remains in shutdown mode. The
ADC dissipates 2.5 µW for the remaining 8 µs of the conversion
cycle. If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 µs
and the average power dissipated during each cycle is
2
10
When operating the ADC in autostandby mode, PM1 = PM0 = 0
at 5 V, 100 kSPS, the ADC power dissipation is calculated as
follows: the maximum power dissipation is 12.5 mW at 5 V during
normal operation. The power-up time from autostandby is one
dummy cycle, 1 µs, and the remaining conversion time is another
dummy cycle, 1 µs. The ADC dissipates 12.5 mW for 2 µs during
each conversion cycle. For the remainder of the conversion cycle,
8 µs, the ADC remains in standby mode dissipating 460 µW for

8 µs. If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 µs
and the average power dissipated during each conversion cycle is

10
Figure 73 shows the power vs. throughput rate when using the
autoshutdown mode and autostandby mode with 5 V supplies.
At the lower throughput rates, power consumption for the
autoshutdown mode is lower than that for the autostandby
mode, with the ADC dissipating less power when in shutdown
compared to standby. However, as the throughput rate is
increased, the ADC spends less time in power-down states;
thus, the difference in power dissipated is negligible between
modes.
