The AD73231 is a 4-channel, 12-bit plus sign successive
approximation ADC designed on the iCMOS (industrial
CMOS) process. iCMOS is a process combining high voltage
silicon with submicron CMOS and complementary bipolar
technologies. It enables the development of a wide range of high
performance analog ICs capable of 33 V operation in a footprint
that no previous generation of high voltage parts could achieve.
Unlike analog ICs using conventional CMOS processes, iCMOS
components can accept bipolar input signals while providing
increased performance, dramatically reduced power
consumption, and reduced package size.
The AD7323 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The
AD7323 has four software selectable input ranges, ±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. Each analog input channel can be
independently programmed to one of the four input ranges.
The analog input channels on the AD7323 can be programmed
to be single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential.
The ADC contains a 2.5 V internal reference. The AD7323 also
allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is
applied to the REFIN/OUT pin, the AD7323 can accept a true
bipolar ±12 V analog input. Minimum ±12 V V
and VSS
DD
supplies are required for the ±12 V input range. The ADC has a
high speed serial interface that can operate at throughput rates
up to 500 kSPS.
1. The AD7323 can accept true bipolar analog input signals,
±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V unipolar signals.
2. The four analog inputs can be configured as four single-
ended inputs, two true differential input pairs, two pseudo
differential inputs, or three pseudo differential inputs.
3. 500 kSPS serial interface. SPI®-/QSPI™-/DSP-/MICROWIRE™-
compatible interface.
4. Low power, 17 mW, at a maximum throughput rate of
500 kSPS.
5. Channel sequencer.

Transient currents of up to 100 mA do not cause SCR latch-up.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Data In. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into the
register on the falling edge of SCLK (see the
Registers section).
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7323. The DGND and AGND
voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a
transient basis.
4 AGND
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7323. All analog input signals
and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. The AGND and DGND
voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a
transient basis.
5 REFIN/OUT
Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the
AD7323. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at this pin. A 680 nF capacitor
should be placed on the reference pin (see the
Reference section). Alternatively, the internal reference
can be disabled and an external reference applied to this input. On power-up, the external reference
mode is the default condition.
6 VSS Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.
7, 8, 10, 9 VIN0 to VIN3
Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 3. The analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold.
The analog input channel for conversion is selected by programming the Channel Address Bit ADD1
and Bit ADD0 in the control register. The inputs can be configured as four single-ended inputs, two true
differential input pairs, two pseudo differential inputs, or three pseudo differential inputs. The configuration of the analog inputs is selected by programming the mode bits, Bit Mode 1 and Bit Mode 0, in
the control register. The input range on each input channel is controlled by programming the range
register. Input ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V can be selected on each analog input
channel when a +2.5 V reference voltage is used (see the
Registers section).
11 VDD Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section.

TERMINOLOGY
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the 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).
Negative Full-Scale Error

Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track mode after the
th
14
SCLK rising edge. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the
time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to
reach its final value, within ±½ LSB, after the end of a
conversion. For the ±2.5 V range, the specified acquisition time
is the time required for the track-and-hold amplifier to settle to
within ±1 LSB.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of
the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all non-fundamental signals
up to half the sampling frequency (f
/2), excluding dc. The ratio
S
is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization process. The more levels, the smaller the quantization
noise. Theoretically, the signal to (noise + distortion) ratio for
an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
For a 13-bit converter, this is 80.02 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7323 it is defined as

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
/2, excluding dc) to the rms value of the
S
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, the
largest harmonic could be a noise peak.

AD7323
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of
crosstalk between any two channels. It is measured by applying a
full-scale, 100 kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input channels
and determining the degree to which the signal attenuates in the
selected channel with a 50 kHz signal.
Figure 14 shows the worstcase across all eight channels for the AD7323. The analog input
range is programmed to be the same on all channels.
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 0. For example,
the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), whereas
the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb),
and (fa − 2fb).
The AD7323 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
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.
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 the full-scale transition point due to a
change in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the
Typical Performance Characteristics section).
CMRR (Common-Mode Rejection Ratio)
CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at
full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV sine wave
applied to the common-mode voltage of the VIN+ and VIN−
frequency, f
, as
S
CMRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/Pf
)

where Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output, and Pf
is the power at frequency f
in the ADC output (see Figure 17).

THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7323 is a fast, 4-channel, 12-bit plus sign, bipolar input,
serial A/D converter. The AD7323 can accept bipolar input
ranges that include ±10 V, ±5 V, and ±2.5 V; it can also accept a
0 V to +10 V unipolar input range. A different analog input
range can be programmed on each analog input channel via the
on-chip registers. The AD7323 has a high speed serial interface
that can operate at throughput rates up to 500 kSPS.
The AD7323 requires V
analog input structures. These supplies must be equal to or greater
than the largest analog input range selected. See
requirements of these supplies for each analog input range. The
AD7323 requires a low voltage 2.7 V to 5.25 V V

The analog inputs can be configured as four single-ended
inputs, two true differential inputs, two pseudo differential
inputs, or three pseudo differential inputs. Selection can be
made by programming the mode bits, Mode 0 and Mode 1, in
the control register.
The serial clock input accesses data from the part and provides
the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The
AD7323 has an on-chip 2.5 V reference. However, the AD7323
can also work with an external reference. On power-up, the
external reference operation is the default option. If the internal
reference is the preferred option, the user must write to the
reference bit in the control register to select the internal
reference operation.
The AD7323 also features power-down options to allow power
savings between conversions. The power-down modes are
selected by programming the on-chip control register, as
described in the
Modes of Operation section.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7323 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter built around two capacitive DACs.
Figure 24 show simplified schematics of the ADC in singleended mode during the acquisition and conversion phases,
respectively.
Figure 25 and Figure 26 show simplified
schematics of the ADC in differential mode during acquisition

comparator is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling

DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from
the capacitive DAC 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 Coding
The AD7323 default output coding is set to twos complement.
The output coding is controlled by the coding bit in the control
register. To change the output coding to straight binary coding,
the coding bit in the control register must be set. When
operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each
channel in the sequence is the value written to the coding bit
during the last write to the control register.
Transfer Functions
The designed code transitions occur at successive integer
LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). The LSB size is
dependent on the analog input range selected.

The analog inputs of the AD7323 can be configured as singleended, true differential, or pseudo differential via the control
register mode bits (see
bipolar input signals. On power-up, the analog inputs operate as
four single-ended analog input channels. If true differential or
pseudo differential is required, a write to the control register is
necessary after power-up to change this configuration.

Specifications section).
Track-and-Hold Section
The track-and-hold on the analog input of the AD7323 allows
the ADC to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale
amplitude to 13-bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the trackand-hold is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC. The
AD7323 can handle frequencies up to 22 MHz.

Unlike other bipolar ADCs, the AD7323 does not have a
resistive analog input structure. On the AD7323, the bipolar
analog signal is sampled directly onto the sampling capacitor.
This gives the AD7323 high analog input impedance. An

input impedance is typically 145 k for the ±10 V range. As the
sampling frequency is reduced, the analog input impedance
further increases. As the analog input impedance increases, the
current required to drive the analog input therefore decreases.

DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
In applications where the harmonic distortion and signal-tonoise ratio are critical specifications, the analog input of the
AD7323 should be driven from a low impedance source. Large
source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the
ADC and can necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum
source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be
tolerated in the application. The THD increases as the source
impedance increases and performance degrades.
Figure 22 show graphs of the THD vs. the analog input
frequency for various source impedances. Depending on the
input range and analog input configuration selected, the
AD7323 can handle source impedances of up to 5.5 kΩ before
the THD starts to degrade.
Due to the programmable nature of the analog inputs on the
AD7323, the choice of op amp used to drive the inputs is a
function of the particular application and depends on the input
configuration and the analog input voltage ranges selected.
Figure 21 and
Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 36
The driver amplifier must be able to settle for a full-scale step
to a 13-bit level, 0.0122%, in less than the specified acquisition
time of the AD7323. An op amp such as the AD8021 meets this
requirement when operating in single-ended mode. The AD8021
needs an external compensating NPO type of capacitor. The
AD8022 can also be used in high frequency applications where
a dual version is required. For lower frequency applications, op
amps such as the AD797, AD845, and AD8610 can be used with
the AD7323 in single-ended mode configuration.
Differential operation requires that V
+ and VIN− be
IN
simultaneously driven with two signals of equal amplitude that
are 180° out of phase. The common mode must be set up
externally to the AD7323. The common-mode range is
determined by the REFIN/OUT voltage, the V
supply voltage,
CC
and the particular amplifier used to drive the analog inputs.
Differential mode with either an ac input or a dc input provides
the best THD performance over a wide frequency range. Because
not all applications have a signal preconditioned for differential
operation, there is often a need to perform the single-ended-todifferential conversion.
This single-ended-to-differential conversion can be performed
using an op amp pair. Typical connection diagrams for an op
amp pair are shown in
Figure 42 and Figure 43. In Figure 42,
the common-mode signal is applied to the noninverting input
of the second amplifier.

REGISTERS
The AD7323 has three programmable registers: the control register, sequence register, and range register. These registers are write-only
registers.
ADDRESSING REGISTERS
A serial transfer on the AD7323 consists of 16 SCLK cycles. The three MSBs on the DIN line during the 16 SCLK transfer are decoded to
determine which register is addressed. The three MSBs consist of the write bit, Register Select 1 bit, and Register Select 2 bit. The register
select bits are used to determine which of the three on-board registers is selected. The write bit determines if the data on the DIN line
following the register select bits loads into the addressed register. If the write bit is 1, the bits load into the register addressed by the
register select bits. If the write bit is 0, the data on the DIN line does not load into any register.

AD7323
CONTROL REGISTER
The control register is used to select the analog input channel, analog input configuration, reference, coding, and power mode. The
control register is a write-only, 12-bit register. Data loaded on the DIN line corresponds to the AD7323 configuration for the next
conversion. If the sequence register is being used, data should be loaded into the control register after the range register and the sequence
register have been initialized. The bit functions of the control register are shown in

These two channel address bits are used to select the analog input channel for the next conversion if the
sequencer is not being used. If the sequencer is being used, the two channel address bits are used to
select the final channel in a consecutive sequence.
These two mode bits are used to select the configuration of the four analog input pins, V
pins are used in conjunction with the channel address bits. On the AD7323, the analog inputs can be
configured as four single-ended inputs, two true differential input pairs, two pseudo differential inputs, or
three pseudo differential inputs (see
This bit is used to select the type of output coding the AD7323 uses for the next conversion result. If
coding = 0, the output coding is twos complement. If coding = 1, the output coding is straight binary.
When operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each channel is the value written to the coding
bit during the last write to the control register.
The reference bit is used to enable or disable the internal reference. If Ref = 0, the external reference is
enabled and used for the next conversion, and the internal reference is disabled. If Ref = 1, the internal
reference is used for the next conversion. When operating in sequence mode, the reference used for each
channel is the value written to the Ref bit during the last write to the control register.

Uses the sequence of channels previously programmed into the sequence register for conversion. The AD7323 starts
converting on the lowest channel in the sequence. The channels are converted in ascending order. If uninterrupted, the
AD7323 keeps converting the sequence. The range for each channel defaults to the range previously written into the range
register.
Used in conjunction with the channel address bits in the control register. This allows continuous conversions on a
consecutive sequence of channels, from Channel 0 through a final channel selected by the channel address bits in the
control register. The range for each channel defaults to the range previously written into the range register.

AD7323
SEQUENCE REGISTER
The sequence register on the AD7323 is a 4-bit, write-only register. Each of the four analog input channels has one corresponding bit in
the sequence register. To select a channel for inclusion in the sequence, set the corresponding channel bit to 1 in the sequence register.
The range register is used to select one analog input range per analog input channel. It is an 8-bit, write-only register with two dedicated
range bits for each of the analog input channels from Channel 0 to Channel 3. There are four analog input ranges, ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and
0 V to +10 V. A write to the range register is selected by setting the write bit to 1 and the register select bits to 0 and 1. After the initial write to
the range register occurs, each time an analog input is selected, the AD7323 automatically configures the analog input to the appropriate
range, as indicated by the range register. The ±10 V input range is selected by default on each analog input channel (see

The AD7323 can be configured to automatically cycle through
a number of selected channels using the on-chip sequence
register with the Seq1 bit and the Seq2 bit in the control register.
Figure 44 shows how to program the AD7323 register to
operate in sequence mode.
After power-up, all of the three on-chip registers contain default
values. Each analog input has a default input range of ±10 V. If
different analog input ranges are required, a write to the range
register is required. This is shown in the first serial transfer of

THE FIRST SEQUENCE.
This initial serial transfer is only necessary if input ranges other
than the default ranges are required. After the analog input
ranges are configured, a write to the sequence register is
necessary to select the channels to be included in the sequence.
Once the channels for the sequence have been selected, the
sequence can be initiated by writing to the control register and
setting the Seq1 = 0 and Seq2 = 1. The AD7323 continues to
convert the selected sequence without interruption provided
that the sequence register remains unchanged, and Seq1 = 0 and
Seq2 = 1 in the control register.
5400-031
AD7323
If a change to the range register is required during a sequence, it
is necessary to first stop the sequence by writing to the control
register and setting Seq1 to 0 and Seq2 to 0. Next, the write to
the range register should be completed to change the required
range. The previously selected sequence can be initiated again
by writing to the control register and setting Seq1 to 0 and Seq2
to 1. The ADC converts on the first channel in the sequence.
The AD7323 can be configured to convert a sequence of
consecutive channels (see
Figure 45). This sequence begins by
converting on Channel 0 and ends with a final channel as
selected by Bit ADD1 to Bit ADD0 in the control register. In
this configuration, there is no need for a write to the sequence
register. To operate the AD7323 in this mode, set Seq1 to 1 and
Seq2 to 0, and then select the final channel in the sequence by
programming Bit ADD1 to Bit ADD0 in the control register.
POWER ON.
CS
Once the control register is configured to operate the AD7323
in this mode, the DIN line can be held low, or the write bit can
be set to 0. To return to traditional multichannel operation, a
write to the control register to set Seq1 to 0 and Seq2 to 0 is
necessary.
When Seq1 and Seq2 are both set to 0, or when both are set
to 1, the AD7323 is configured to operate in traditional multichannel mode, where a write to Channel Address Bit ADD1 to
Bit ADD0 in the control register selects the next channel for

AD7323
REFERENCE
The AD7323 can operate with either the internal 2.5 V on-chip
reference or an externally applied reference. The internal
reference is selected by setting the Ref bit in the control register
to 1. On power-up, the Ref bit is 0, which selects the external
reference for the AD7323 conversion. Suitable reference sources
for the AD7323 include AD780, AD1582, ADR431, REF193,
and ADR391.
conversion result from the first initial conversion is invalid. The
reference buffer requires 500 µs to power up and charge the
680 nF decoupling capacitor during the power-up time.
The AD7323 is specified for a 2.5 V to 3 V reference range.
When a 3 V reference is selected, the ranges are ±12 V, ±6 V,
±3 V, and 0 V to +12 V. For these ranges, the V
and VSS supply
DD
must be equal to or greater than the maximum analog input
range selected (see
Tabl e 6).
The internal reference circuitry consists of a 2.5 V band gap
reference and a reference buffer. When operating the AD7323
in internal reference mode, the 2.5 V internal reference is available
at the REFIN/OUT pin, which should be decoupled to AGND
using a 680 nF capacitor. It is recommended that the internal
reference be buffered before applying it elsewhere in the system.
The internal reference is capable of sourcing up to 90 A.
On power-up, if the internal reference operation is required for
the ADC conversion, a write to the control register is necessary
to set the Ref bit to 1. During the control register write, the

MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7323 has several modes of operation that are designed
to provide flexible power management options. These options
can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput
rate ratio for different application requirements. The mode of
operation of the AD7323 is controlled by the power management
bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PM0, in the control register as shown in
Tabl e 1 1 . The default mode is normal mode, where all internal
circuitry is fully powered up.

The AD7323 remains fully powered up at the end of the

To complete the conversion and access the conversion result,
16 serial clock cycles are required. At the end of the conversion,

the power management bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PM0, in the
control register are changed.
A write to the control register with PM1 = 1 and PM0 = 1 places
the part into full shutdown mode. The AD7323 enters full shutdown mode on the 15

POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
The power consumption of the AD7323 varies with throughput
rate. The static power consumed by the AD7323 is very low, and
significant power savings can be achieved as the throughput
rate is reduced.

Data is clocked into the AD7323 on the SCLK falling edge. The
three MSBs on the DIN line are decoded to select which register
is being addressed. The control register is a 12-bit register. If the
control register is addressed by the three MSBs, the data on the
DIN line is loaded into the control on the 15

SCLK falling edge.
Conversion data is clocked out of the AD7323 on each SCLK
falling edge. Data on the DOUT line consists of a ZERO bit, two
channel identifier bits, a sign bit, and a 12-bit conversion result.
The channel identifier bits are used to indicate which channel
corresponds to the conversion result. The ZERO bit is clocked
out on the
CS
falling edge, and the ADD1 bit is clocked out on
the first SCLK falling edge.

AD7323
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The serial interface on the AD7323 allows the part to be directly
connected to a range of different microprocessors. This section
explains how to interface the AD7323 with some common
microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.
AD7323 TO ADSP-21xx
The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs interface directly to the AD7323
without requiring glue logic. The V
the same supply voltage as that of the ADSP-21xx. This allows
the ADC to operate at a higher supply voltage than its serial
interface. The SPORT0 on the ADSP-21xx should be configured
as shown in
Tabl e 14 .
Table 14. SPORT0 Control Register Setup
Setting Description
TFSW = RFSW = 1 Alternative framing
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1 Active low frame signal
DTYPE = 00 Right justify data
SLEN = 1111 16-bit data-word
ISCLK = 1 Internal serial clock
TFSR = RFSR = 1 Frame every word
IRFS = 0
ITFS = 1
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 52. The ADSP-21xx
has TFS0 and RFS0 tied together. TFS0 is set as an output, and
RFS0 is set as an input. The DSP operates in alternative framing
mode, and the SPORT0 control register is set up as described in
Tabl e 14. The frame synchronization signal generated on the TFS
CS
is tied to
, and, as with all signal processing applications, requires
equidistant sampling. However, as in this example, the timer
interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC, and
under certain conditions equidistant sampling cannot be achieved.

The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register.
When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given (AX0 = TX0),
the state of the serial clock is checked. The DSP waits until the
SCLK has gone high, low, and high again before starting the
transmission. If the timer and SCLK are chosen so that the
instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising edge of SCLK,
data can be transmitted immediately or at the next clock edge.
For example, the ADSP-2111 has a master clock frequency of
16 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3, an
SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock periods elapse
for every one SCLK period. If the timer registers are loaded with
the value 803, 100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts and, subsequently, between transmit instructions. This situation leads to
nonequidistant sampling because the transmit instruction occurs
on an SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is
an integer of N, equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP.
AD7323 TO ADSP-BF53x
The ADSP-BF53x family of DSPs interfaces directly to the
AD7323 without requiring glue logic, as shown in

The timer registers are loaded with a value that provides an
interrupt at the required sampling interval. When an interrupt
is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control
word). The TFS is used to control the RFS, and hence the
reading of data.

APPLICATION HINTS
LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7323 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are confined to
certain areas of the board. This design facilitates the use of
ground planes that can easily be separated.
To provide optimum shielding for ground planes, a minimum
etch technique is generally best. All AGND pins on the AD7323
should be connected to the AGND plane. Digital and analog
ground pins should be joined in only one place. If the AD7323
is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND and
DGND connection, the connection should still be made at only
one point. A star point should be established as close as possible
to the ground pins on the AD7323.
Good connections should be made to the power and ground
planes. This can be done with a single via or multiple vias for
each supply and ground pin.
Avoid running digital lines under the AD7323 device because
this couples noise onto the die. However, the analog ground
plane should be allowed to run under the AD7323 to avoid
noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7323 device
should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance
paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line.
To avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, components, such as clocks, with fast switching signals should be
shielded with digital ground and never run near the analog inputs.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. To reduce the effects
of feedthrough within the board, traces should be run at right
angles to each other. A microstrip technique is the best method,
but its use may not be possible with a double-sided board. In
this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to
ground planes, and signals are placed on the other side.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should
be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum capacitors in parallel with
0.1 µF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best results from
these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as
possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. The
0.1 µF capacitors should have a low effective series resistance
(ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI), such as is
typical of common ceramic and surface mount types of
capacitors. These low ESR, low ESI capacitors provide a low
impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle
transient currents due to internal logic switching.
