GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7490 is a 12-bit high speed, low power, 16-channel, successive approximation ADC. The part operates from a single
2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput rates up to 1 MSPS. The part 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
CS
using 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 part.
The AD7490 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput rates. For maximum throughput rates, the AD7490 consumes just 1.8 mA with 3 V supplies, and 2.5 mA with 5 V supplies.
By setting the relevant bits in the control register, the analog input range for the part can be selected to be a 0 V to REF input or a 0 V to 2 × REF or twos complement output coding. The AD7490 features 16 single-ended analog inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a preprogrammed selection of channels to be converted sequen­tially. The conversion time is determined by the SCLK
and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to

The AD7490 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP and a 28-lead TSSOP package.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. The AD7490 offers up to 1 MSPS throughput rates. At
maximum throughput with 3 V supplies, the AD7490 dissipates just 5.4 mW of power.
2. A sequence of channels can be selected, through which the
AD7490 cycles and converts.
3. The AD7490 operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply.
The V directly to either 3 V or 5 V processor systems independent of V
4. The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock,
allowing the conversion time to be reduced through the serial clock speed increase. The part also features various shutdown modes to maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates. Power consumption is 0.5 µA, maximum, when in full shutdown.
5. The part features a standard successive approximation
ADC with accurate control of the sampling instant via a input and once off conversion control.

Guaranteed by characterization. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V (see Figure 2). The 3 V
operating range spans from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The 5 V operating range spans from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
2
The mark/space ratio for the SCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40. The maximum SCLK frequency is 16 MHz with VDD = 3 V to give a throughput of 870 kSPS. Care must be
taken when interfacing to account for data access time, t4, and the setup time required for the user’s processor. These two times determine the maximum SCLK frequency with which the user’s system can operate (see the Serial Interface section).
3
Measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.4 V or 0.7 V
4
t3b represents a worst-case figure for having ADD3 available on the DOUT line, that is, if the AD7490 goes back into three-state at the end of a conversion and some
other device takes control of the bus between conversions, the user has to wait a maximum time of t3b before having ADD3 valid on the DOUT line. If the DOUT line is weakly driven to ADD3 between conversions, the user typically has to wait 17 ns at 3 V and 12 ns at 5 V after the CS falling edge before seeing ADD3 valid on DOUT.
5
t8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. 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 the bus loading.

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 address bits ADD3 through ADD0 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 REF via the RANGE bit in the control register. Any unused input channels should be connected to AGND to avoid noise pickup.
Data In. Logic input. Data to be written to the control register of the AD7490 is provided on this input and is clocked into the register on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Control Register section).
Data Out. Logic output. The conversion result from the AD7490 is provided on this output as a serial data stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK 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 by MSB first. The output coding can be selected as straight binary or twos complement via the CODING bit in the control register.
Serial Clock. Logic input. SCLK provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part. This clock input is also used as the clock source for the conversion process of the AD7490.
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the serial interface of the AD7490 operates.

TERMINOLOGY

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.
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Offset Error
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 … 000) to (00 … 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.
Offset Error Match
This is the difference in offset error between any two channels.
Gain Error
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 … 110) to (111 … 111) from the ideal (that is, REF
− 1 LSB) after the
IN
offset error has been adjusted out.
Gain Error Match
This is the difference in gain error between any two channels.
Zero Code Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding option, in particular to the 2 × REF to +REF
biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of the
IN
midscale transition (all 0s to all 1s) from the ideal V that is, REF

first code transition (100 … 000) to (100 … 001) from the ideal (that is, −REF
+ 1 LSB) after the zero code error has been

adjusted out.
Negative Gain Error Match
This is the difference in negative gain error between any two channels.
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. This specification is the worst case across all 16 channels for the AD7490.
PSR (Power Supply Rejection)
Variations in power supply affect the full scale transition, but not the converter linearity. 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).
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track on the 14th SCLK 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.
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
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) (dB) = 6.02N + 1.76
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7490, it is defined as

AD7490
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 and 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, it is a noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion products at the 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 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 AD7490 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, and 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.

INTERNAL REGISTER STRUCTURE

CONTROL REGISTER

The control register on the AD7490 is a 12-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7490 on the falling edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time as the conversion result is read from the part. The data transferred on the DIN line corresponds to the

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, and 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 access the Shadow register (see Table 9).
ADD3 to ADD0
WEAK/TRI
These four address bits are loaded at the end of the present conversion sequence and select which analog input channel is to be converted on in the next serial transfer, or they may select the final channel in a consecutive sequence, as described in Table 9. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 7. The next channel to be converted on is selected by the mux on the 14th SCLK falling edge. The address bits corresponding to the conversion result are also output on DOUT prior to the 12 bits of data (see the Serial Interface section).
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 9).
This bit selects the state of the DOUT line at the end of the current serial transfer. If it is set to 1, the DOUT line is
weakly driven to the ADD3 channel address bit of the ensuing conversion. If this bit is set to 0, DOUT returns to three-state at the end of the serial transfer. See the Control Register section for more details.
This bit selects the analog input range to be used on the AD7490. If it is set to 0, the analog input range extends from 0 V to 2 × REFIN. If it is set to 1, the analog input range extends from 0 V to REFIN (for the next conversion). For 0 V to 2 × REF
This bit selects the type of output coding used by the AD7490 for the conversion result. If this bit is set to 0, the output coding for the part is twos complement. If this bit is set to 1, the output coding from the part is straight binary (for the next conversion).

Sequencer Operation

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. Ta ble 9 outlines the four modes of operation of the sequencer.
Normal operation. In this mode, the AD7490 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 AD7490.
Full shutdown. In this mode, the AD7490 is in full shutdown mode, with all circuitry on the AD7490 powering down. The AD7490 retains the information in the control register while in full shutdown. The part remains in full shutdown until these bits are changed in the control register.
Auto shutdown. In this mode, the AD7490 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 part in this mode.
Auto standby. In this standby mode, portions of the AD7490 are powered down, but the on-chip bias generator remains powered up. This mode is similar to auto shutdown and allows the part to power up within one dummy cycle, that is, 1 μs with a 20 MHz SCLK.
Table 9. Sequence Selection
SEQ SHADOW Sequence Type

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 through ADD3 in each prior write operation. This mode of operation reflects the normal operation of a multichannel ADC, without the sequencer function being used, where each write to the AD7490 selects the next channel for conversion (see Figure 12).
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 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 ADD3 to ADD0 channel address bits 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 14).

SHADOW REGISTER

The Shadow register on the AD7490 is a 16-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7490 on the falling edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time that a conversion result is read from the part. This requires 16 serial falling edges for the data transfer. The information is clocked into the Shadow register, provided the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set to 0, 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 Channel 15. A sequence of channels can be selected through which the AD7490 cycles with each consecutive CS
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 AD7490 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 .

THEORY OF OPERATION

CIRCUIT INFORMATION

The AD7490 is a fast, 16-channel, 12-bit, single-supply, analog­to-digital converter. The parts can be operated from a 2.7 V to
5.25 V supply. When operated from a 5 V supply and provided with a 20 MHz clock, the AD7490 is capable of throughput rates of up to 1 MSPS.
The AD7490 provides the user with an on-chip, track-and-hold ADC and a serial interface housed in either a 28-lead TSSOP or 32-lead LFCSP package. The AD7490 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
CS
falling edge. The serial clock input accesses data from the part, controls the transfer of data written to the ADC, and provides the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The analog input range for the AD74790 is 0 V to REF or 0 V to 2 × REF control register. For the 0 V to 2 × REF
, depending on the status of Bit 1 in the
IN
range, the part must be
IN
IN
operated from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply.
The AD7490 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 control register.

CONVERTER OPERATION

The AD7490 is a 12-bit successive approximation ADC based around a capacitive DAC. The AD7490 can convert analog input signals in the range 0 V to REF Figure 15 and Figure 16 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 15 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
channel.
V
IN
When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 16), 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. Figure 18 shows the ADC transfer function.

Analog Input

Figure 17 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input struc­ture of the AD7490. 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 exceeds the supply rails by more than 200 mV. This causes these diodes to become forward biased and to start conducting current into the substrate. The maximum current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part is 10 mA. Capacitor C1 in Figure 17 is typically about 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on resistance of a track-and-hold switch and includes the on resistance of the input multiplexer. The total resistance is typically about 400 Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and typically has a capacitance of 30 pF.

For ac applications, removing high frequency components from the analog input signal is recommended by use of an RC low­pass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical, the analog input should be driven 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, the source impedance should be limited 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 9).

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION

The output coding of the AD7490 is either straight binary or twos complement depending on the status of the LSB (CODING bit) in the 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 REF

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Figure 21 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7490. In this setup, the AGND pin is connected to the analog ground plane of the system. In Figure 21, REF decoupled 2.5 V supply from a reference source, the AD780, to provide an analog input range of 0 V to 2.5 V (if the RANGE bit is 1) or 0 V to 5 V (if the RANGE bit is 0). Although the AD7490 is connected to a V a 3 V microprocessor. The V
of 5 V, the serial interface is connected to
DD
DRIVE
to the same 3 V supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3 V logic interface (see the Digital Input section). The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word. This 16-bit data stream consists of four address bits, indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of conversion data. For applications where power consumption is of concern, the power-down modes should be used between conversions or bursts of several conversions to improve power performance (see the Modes of Operation section).

Analog Input Channels

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 control register. The channel configurations are shown in Ta bl e 7 . The AD7490 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 control register (see Tab le 9 ). The AD7490 can be programmed to continuously convert on a selection of channels in ascending order. The sequence of analog input channels to be converted on is selected through programming the relevant bits in the Shadow register (see Tab le 1 0 ). 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 control register once a sequencer operation has been initiated. The WRITE bit must be set to 0 or the DIN line

tied low to ensure the control register is not accidentally over­written or the sequence operation interrupted. If the control register is written to at any time during the sequence, it must be ensured that the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set to 1, 0 to avoid interrupting the automatic conversion sequence. This pattern continues until such time as the AD7490 is written to and the SEQ and SHADOW bits are configured with any bit combination except 1, 0. On completion of the sequence, the AD7490 sequencer returns to the first selected channel in the Shadow register and commences 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 ADD3 through ADD0 channel address bits 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 AD7490 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 Input

The digital inputs applied to the AD7490 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 by the

AD7490

Reference Section

An external reference source should be used to supply the 2.5 V reference to the AD7490. Errors in the reference source result in gain errors in the AD7490 transfer function and add to the specified full-scale errors of the part. A capacitor of at least 0.1 µF should be placed on the REF
pin. Suitable reference sources
IN
for the AD7490 include the AD780, REF192, AD1582, ADR03, ADR381, ADR391, and ADR421.
If 2.5 V is applied to the REF
pin, the analog input range can
IN
either be 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, depending on the RANGE bit in the control register.

MODES OF OPERATION

The AD7490 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 AD7490 is controlled by the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the control register, as detailed in Ta b le 7 . When power supplies are first applied to the AD7490, care should be taken to ensure that the part is placed in the required mode of operation (see the Powering Up the AD7490 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 AD7490 remaining fully powered at all times. Figure 22 shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7490 in this mode.

The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, and the track-and-hold enters hold mode, as described in the Interface
section. The data presented to the AD7490 on the
Serial
DIN line during the first 12 clock cycles of the data transfer is loaded
to the control register (provided the WRITE bit is 1). If data is to be written to the Shadow register (SEQ = 0, SHADOW = 1 on previous write), data presented on the DIN line during the first 16 SCLK cycles is loaded into the Shadow register. The part 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 loaded with 1 on every data transfer. Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access the conversion result. The track-and­hold goes back into track on the 14

SCLK falling edge. CS may then idle high until the next conversion or may idle low until sometime prior to the next conversion, (effectively idling

Full Shutdown (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)

In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7490 is powered down. The part retains information in the control register during full shutdown. The AD7490 remains in full shutdown until the power management bits in the control register, PM1 and PM0, are changed.
If a write to the control register occurs while the part is in full shutdown, with the power management bits changed to PM0 = PM1 = 1 (normal mode), the part begins to power up

Auto Shutdown (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 1)

In this mode, the AD7490 automatically enters shutdown at the end of each conversion when the control register is updated. When the part is in shutdown, the track-and-hold is in hold mode. Figure 24 shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7490 in this mode.
In shutdown mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7490 is powered down. The part retains information in the control register during shutdown. The AD7490 remains in shutdown
CS
until the next
falling edge it receives. On this CS falling edge, the track-and-hold that was on hold while the part was in shut­down mode returns to track-and-hold. Wake-up time from auto shutdown is 1 µs, and the user should ensure that 1 µs elapses before attempting a valid conversion. When running the AD7490 with a 20 MHz clock, one dummy cycle of 16 × SCLK should be sufficient to ensure the part is fully powered up. During this dummy cycle, the contents of the control register should remain unchanged; therefore, the WRITE bit should be 0 on the DIN line. This dummy cycle effectively halves the throughput rate of the part, with every other conversion result being valid. In this mode, the power consumption of the part is greatly reduced with the part entering shutdown at the end of each conversion. When the control register is programmed to move into auto shutdown, it does so at the end of the conversion. The user can move the ADC in and out of the low power state by controlling

In this mode, the AD7490 automatically enters standby mode at the end of each conversion when the control register is updated. Figure 25 shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7490 in this mode. When the part is in standby, portions of the AD7490 are powered-down, but the on-chip bias generator remains powered up. The part retains information in the control register during standby. The AD7490 remains in standby until it receives the next

Powering Up the AD7490

When supplies are first applied to the AD7490, the ADC may power up in any of the operating modes of the part. To ensure that the part is placed into the required operating mode, the user should perform a dummy cycle operation, as outlined in Figure 26.
The three dummy conversion operations outlined in Figure 26 must be performed to place the part into either of the auto modes. The first two conversions of this dummy cycle operation are performed with the DIN line tied high, and for the third conver­sion of the dummy cycle operation, the user should write the desired control register configuration to the AD7490 to place the part into the required auto mode. On the third
CS
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 part is placed into the correct operating mode when supplies are first applied to the AD7490, the user must first issue two serial write operations with the DIN line tied high. On the third conversion cycle, the user can then write to the control register to place the part into any of the operating modes. The user should not write to the Shadow register until the fourth conversion cycle after the supplies are applied to the ADC to guarantee that the control register contains the correct data.
If the user wishes to place the part into either normal mode or full shutdown mode, the second dummy cycle with DIN tied high can be omitted from the three dummy conversion operation outlined in Figure 26.

SERIAL INTERFACE

Figure 27 shows the detailed timing diagram for serial interfacing to the AD7490. The serial clock provides the conversion clock and also controls the transfer of information to and from the AD7490 during each conversion.

going low allows the ADD3 address bit to be read in by the microprocessor or DSP. The remaining address bits and data bits are then clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling edges, beginning with the second address bit, ADD2. Thus, the first SCLK falling edge on the serial clock has the ADD3 address bit provided and also clocks out address bit ADD2. The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the 16 falling edge, having being clocked out on the previous (15

Writing information to the control register takes place on the first 12 falling edges of SCLK in a data transfer, assuming the MSB, that is, the WRITE bit, has been set to 1. If the control register is programmed to use the Shadow register, writing information to the Shadow register takes place on all 16 SCLK falling edges in the next serial transfer (see Figure 28). The

Shadow register is updated upon the rising edge of

AD7490
If the WEAK/ returning to true three-state on the 16
TRI
bit in the control register is set to 1, instead of
th
SCLK falling edge, the DOUT line is 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 SCLK falling edge after the
CS
falling edge. If the WEAK/
TRI
bit is set to 0 and the DOUT line has been in true three-state between conversions, the ADD3 address bit may not be set up in time for the DSP/microcontroller to clock it in successfully, depending on the particular DSP or microcontroller interfacing to the AD7490. In this case, ADD3 would only be driven from the falling edge of
CS
and must then be clocked in by the DSP on the following falling edge of SCLK. However, if the WEAK/ TRI
bit is set to 1, although DOUT is driven with the ADD3 address bit since 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 is sufficient to overdrive the logic level of ADD3 between conversions), and all 16 channels may be identified. If this does happen and another device takes control of the bus, it is not guaranteed that DOUT will be 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. If only the first eight channels are in use, Address Bit ADD3 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.

POWER vs. THROUGHPUT RATE

By operating the AD7490 in auto shutdown or auto standby mode, the average power consumption of the ADC decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 29 shows that as the throughput rate is reduced, the part remains in shutdown state longer and the average power consumption drops accordingly over time.
For example, if the AD7490 is operated in a continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and an SCLK of 20 MHz (V is, the device is in auto shutdown mode), the power consumption is calculated as shown in Equation 1.
The maximum power dissipation during normal operation is
12.5 mW (V
= 5 V). If the power-up time from auto shut-
DD
down is one dummy cycle, that is, 1 µs, and the remaining conversion time is another cycle, that is, 1 µs, then the AD7490 can be said to dissipate 12.5 mW for 2 µs during each conver­sion cycle. For the remainder of the conversion cycle, 8 µs, the

When operating the AD7490 in auto standby mode (PM1 = PM0 = 0 at 5 V, 100 kSPS), the AD7490 power dissipation is calculated as shown in Equation 2.
The maximum power dissipation is 12.5 mW at 5 V during nor­mal operation. Again the power-up time from auto standby is one dummy cycle, 1 µs, and the remaining conversion time is another dummy cycle, 1 µs. The AD7490 dissipates 12.5 mW for 2 µs during each conversion cycle. For the remainder of the conversion cycle, 8 µs, the part remains in standby mode, dissipating 460 µW for 8 µs.

Figure 29 shows the power vs. throughput rate when using both the auto shutdown mode and auto standby mode with 5 V supplies. At the lower throughput rates, power consumption for the auto shutdown mode is lower than that for the auto standby mode, with the AD7490 dissipating less power when in shut­down compared to standby. As the throughput rate is increased, however, the part spends less time in power-down states; hence, the difference in power dissipated is negligible between modes. For 3 V supplies, the power consumption of the AD7490 decreases. Similar power calculations can be done at 3 V.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING

The serial interface on the AD7490 allows the part to be directly connected to a range of many different microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the AD7490 with some of the more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.

AD7490 to TMS320C541

The serial interface on the TMS320C541 uses a continuous serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize the data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the AD7490.
CS
input allows easy interfacing between the TMS320C541
The and the AD7490 without any glue logic required. The serial port of the TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode with internal CLKX0 (TX serial clock on Serial Port 0) and FSX0 (TX frame sync from Serial Port 0). The serial port control register (SPC) must have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM = 1, and TXM = 1. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 30 imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the TMS320C541 provide equidistant sampling. The V of the AD7490 takes the same supply voltage as that of the TMS320C541. This allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, TMS320C541, if necessary.

AD7490 to ADSP-21xx

The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs is interfaced directly to the AD7490 without any glue logic required. The V AD7490 takes the same supply voltage as that of the ADSP­218x.This allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, ADSP-218x, if necessary.
The SPORT0 control register should be set up as follows:
TFSW = RFSW = 1, alternate framing
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, active low frame signal
DTYPE = 00, right justify data
SLEN = 1111, 16-bit data-words
ISCLK = 1, internal serial clock

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 31. The ADSP-218x has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in alternate framing mode, and the SPORT control register is set up as described. The frame synchronization signal generated on
CS
the TFS is tied to
, and, as with all signal processing applications, equidistant sampling is necessary. In this example, however, the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC, and under certain conditions, equidistant sampling may not be achieved.
The timer register, for example, is loaded with a value that provides an interrupt at the required sample 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, thus, the reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given (that is, AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high before transmission starts. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising edge of SCLK, the data may be transmitted or it may wait until the next clock edge.
For example, if the ADSP-2189 with a 20 MHz crystal has an overall master clock frequency of 40 MHz, then the master cycle time is 25 ns. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with a value of 3, an SCLK of 5 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock periods elapse for every 1 SCLK period. Depending on the throughput rate selected, if the timer registers are loaded with the value 803, 100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit instructions. This situation results in nonequidistant sampling because the transmit instruc­tion occurs on a SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a figure of N, equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP.

AD7490 to DSP563xx

The connection diagram in Figure 32 shows how the AD7490 can be connected to the ESSI (synchronous serial interface) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs from Motorola. Each ESSI (two on board) is operated in synchronous mode (the SYN bit in CRB = 1) with internally generated word length frame sync for both Tx and Rx (FSL1 = 0 and FSL0 = 0 in CRB). Normal operation of the ESSI is selected by making MOD = 0 in the CRB.
Rev. C | Page 24 of 28
AD7490
Set the word length to 16 by setting WL1 = 1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP bit in the CRB should be set to 1 so the frame sync is negative. Note that for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provide equidistant sampling.

APPLICATION HINTS

Grounding and Layout

The AD7490 has very good immunity to noise on the power supplies shown in the PSRR vs. Supply Ripple Frequency plot, Figure 7. Care should still be taken, however, with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7490 should be designed such that 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 separated easily. A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes because it gives the best shielding. All three AGND pins of the AD7490 should be sunk in the AGND plane. Digital and analog ground planes should be joined at only one place. If the AD7490 is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND to DGND connection, the connection should still be made at one point only, a star ground point that should be established as close as possible to the AD7490.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7490 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7490 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals like clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals should never be run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital
and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best but is not always 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 solder side.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 µF capaci­tors to AGND. To achieve the best 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 low effective series resistance (ESR) and effective series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types or surface mount types, which provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic switching.

PCB Design Guidelines for Chip Scale Package

The lands on the chip scale package (CP-32) are rectangular. The printed circuit board pad for these should be 0.1 mm longer than the package land length and 0.05 mm wider than the package land width. The land should be centered on the pad. This ensures that the solder joint size is maximized. The bottom of the chip scale package has a central thermal pad. The thermal pad on the printed circuit board should be at least as large as this exposed pad. On the printed circuit board, there should be a clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal pad and the inner edges of the pad pattern. This ensures that shorting is avoided. Thermal vias can be used on the printed circuit board thermal pad to improve thermal performance of the package. If vias are used, they should be incorporated in the thermal pad at 1.2 mm pitch grid. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm and 0.33 mm, and the via barrel should be plated with 1 oz. copper to plug the via. The user should connect the printed circuit board thermal pad to AGND.

Evaluating the AD7490 Performance

The recommended layout for the AD7490 is outlined in the evaluation board for the AD7490. The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documen­tation, and software for controlling the board from the PC via the EVAL-CONTROL BRD2. The EVAL-CONTROL BRD2 can be used in conjunction with the AD7490 evaluation board, as well as many other Analog Devices, Inc., evaluation boards ending in the CB designator, to demonstrate and evaluate the ac and dc performance of the AD7490.
The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7490. The software and documentation are on a CD shipped with the evaluation board.
