AD7608
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7608 is an 18-bit, 8-channel simultaneous sampling,
analog-to-digital data acquisition system (DAS). The part
contains analog input clamp protection, a second-order
antialiasing filter, a track-and-hold amplifier, an 18-bit charge
redistribution successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), a flexible digital filter, a 2.5 V reference and
reference buffer, and high speed serial and parallel interfaces.
The AD7608 operates from a single 5 V supply and can
accommodate ±10 V and ±5 V true bipolar input signals while
sampling at throughput rates up to 200 kSPS for all channels.
The input clamp protection circuitry can tolerate voltages up
to ±16.5 V. The AD7608 has 1 MΩ analog input impedance
regardless of sampling frequency. The single supply operation,
on-chip filtering, and high input impedance eliminate the need
for driver op amps and external bipolar supplies. The AD7608
antialiasing filter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 22 kHz and
provides 40 dB antialias rejection when sampling at 200 kSPS.
The flexible digital filter is pin driven, yields improvements in
SNR, and reduces the 3 dB bandwidth.

P AGND
Analog Ground. This pin is the ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7608. All
analog input signals and external reference signals should be referred to these pins. All six of these
AGND pins should connect to the AGND plane of a system.
5, 4, 3 DI OS [2: 0]
Oversampling Mode Pins. Logic inputs. These inputs are used to select the oversampling ratio. OS 2
is the MSB control bit, while OS 0 is the LSB control bit. See the Digital Filter section for further
details on the oversampling mode of operation and Table 8 for oversampling bit decoding.
6 DI
/SER SEL Parallel/Serial Interface Selection Input. Logic input. If this pin is tied to a logic low, the parallel
PA R
interface is selected. If this pin is tied to a logic high, the serial interface is selected. In serial mode,
/SCLK pin functions as the serial clock input. The DB7/D
the RD
serial data outputs. When the serial interface is selected, DB[15:9] and DB[6:0] pins should be tied to
GND.
7 DI
Standby Mode Input. This pin is used to place the AD7608 into one of two power-down modes: standby
STBY
mode or shutdown mode. The power-down mode entered depends on the state of the RANGE pin
as shown in Tab le 7. When in standby mode, all circuitry, except the on-chip reference regulators,
and regulator buffers, is powered down. When in shutdown mode, all circuitry is powered down.
8 DI RANGE
Analog Input Range Selection. Logic input. The polarity on this pin determines the input range of
the analog input channels. If this pin is tied to a logic high, the analog input range is ±10 V for all
channels. If this pin is tied to a logic low, the analog input range is ±5 V for all channels. A logic
change on this pin has an immediate effect on the analog input range. Changing this pin during
a conversion is not recommended. See the Analog Input section for more details.
9, 10 DI
CONVST A,
CONVST B
Conversion Start Input A, Conversion Start Input B. Logic inputs. These logic inputs are used to
initiate conversions on the analog input channels. For simultaneous sampling of all input channels,
CONVST A and CONVST B can be shorted together and a single convert start signal applied.
Alternatively, CONVST A can be used to initiate simultaneous sampling for V1, V2, V3, and V4, and
CONVST B can be used to initiate simultaneous sampling on the other analog inputs (V5, V6, V7, and
V8). This is only possible when oversampling is not switched on.
When the CONVST A or CONVST B pin transitions from low to high, the front-end track-and-hold
circuitry for their respective analog inputs is set to hold. This function allows a phase delay to be
created inherently between the sets of analog inputs.

AD7608
Pin No. Type1 Mnemonic Description
11 DI RESET
Reset Input. When set to logic high, the rising edge of RESET resets the AD7608. Once t
elapsed, the part should receive a RESET pulse after power up. The RESET high pulse should be
typically 100 ns wide. If a RESET pulse is applied during a conversion, the conversion is aborted. If
a RESET pulse is applied during a read, the contents of the output registers resets to all zeros.
12 DI
/SCLK Parallel Data Read Control Input when Parallel Interface is Selected (RD)/Serial Clock Input when the
RD
Serial Interface is Selected (SCLK). When both CS
bus is enabled.
In parallel mode, two RD
channel. The first RD pulse outputs DB[17:2], the second RD pulse outputs DB[1:0].
In serial mode, this pin acts as the serial clock input for data transfers. The CS falling edge takes the
data output lines, D
result. The rising edge of SCLK clocks all subsequent data bits onto the D
outputs. For further information, see the section. Conversion Control
13 DI
Chip Select. This active low logic input frames the data transfer. When both CS and RD are logic low
CS
in parallel mode, the output bus, DB[15:0], is enabled and the conversion result is output on the
parallel data bus lines. In serial mode, the CS
the MSB of the serial output data.
14 DO BUSY
Busy Output. This pin transitions to a logic high after both CONVST A and CONVST B rising edges
and indicates that the conversion process has started. The BUSY output remains high until the
conversion process for all channels is complete. The falling edge of BUSY signals that the conversion
data is being latched into the output data registers and is available to be read after a Time t
data read while BUSY is high must be complete before the falling edge of BUSY occurs. Rising edges
on CONVST A or CONVST B have no effect while the BUSY signal is high.
15 DO FRSTDATA
Digital Output. The FRSTDATA output signal indicates when the first channel, V1, is being read back
on either the parallel or serial interface. When the CS input is high, the FRSTDATA output pin is in

Refers to classification of pin type; P denotes power, AI denotes analog input, REF denotes reference, DI denotes digital input, DO denotes digital output.
Internal/External Reference Selection Input. Logic input. If this pin is set to logic high then the
internal reference is selected and is enabled, if this pin is set to logic low then the internal reference
is disabled and an external reference voltage must be applied to the REFIN/REFOUT pin.
Decoupling Capacitor Pins for Voltage Output from Internal Regulator. These output pins should be
decoupled separately to AGND using a 1 F capacitor. The voltage on these output pins is in the
range of 2.5 V to 2.7 V.
Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference of 2.5 V is available on this pin for external
use if the REF SELECT pin is set to a logic high. Alternatively, the internal reference can be disabled
by setting the REF SELECT pin to a logic low and an external reference of 2.5 V can be applied to this
input. See the Internal/External Reference section. Decoupling is required on this pin for both the
internal or external reference options. A 10 µF capacitor should be applied from this pin to ground
close to the REFGND pins.
Reference Buffer Output Force/Sense Pins. These pins must be connected together and decoupled
to AGND using a low ESR 10 F ceramic capacitor.
Analog Inputs. These pins are single-ended analog inputs. The analog input range of these channels
is determined by the RANGE pin.
Analog Input Ground Pins. These pins correspond to the V1 to V8 analog input pins. Connect all
analog input AGND pins to the AGND plane of a system.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity
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, at ½ LSB below the first
code transition; and full scale, at ½ LSB above the last code
transition.
Differential Nonlinearity
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Bipolar Zero Code Error
The deviation of the midscale transition (all 1s to all 0s) from
the ideal, which is 0 V − ½ LSB.
Bipolar Zero Code Error Match
The absolute difference in bipolar zero code error between any
two input channels.
Positive Full-Scale Error
The deviation of the actual last code transition from the ideal
last code transition (10 V − 1½ LSB (9.99988) and 5 V − 1½ LSB
(4.99994)) after bipolar zero code error is adjusted out. The
positive full-scale error includes the contribution from the
internal reference buffer.
Positive Full-Scale Error Match
The absolute difference in positive full-scale error between any
two input channels.
Negative Full-Scale Error
The deviation of the first code transition from the ideal first
code transition (−10 V + ½ LSB (−9.99996) and −5 V + ½ LSB
(−4.99998)) after the bipolar zero code error is adjusted out.
The negative full-scale error includes the contribution from
the internal reference buffer.
Negative Full-Scale Error Match
The absolute difference in negative full-scale error between any
two input channels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
The measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) at the
output of the ADC. 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 dc).
S
The ratio depends 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) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Thus, for an 18-bit converter, the signal-to-(noise + distortion)
is 110.12 dB.
Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 32
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of the harmonics to the fundamental.
For the AD7608, it is defined as
THD (dB) =

8
where:
V
is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
1
V
to V9 are the rms amplitudes of the second through ninth
2
harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
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
S
of the 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
determined by a noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
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. Intermodulation distortion terms are those for which
neither m nor n is equal to 0. For example, the second-order
terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), and the third-order terms
include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa − 2fb).
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 (dB).
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but not
the converter’s linearity. PSR is the maximum change in fullscale transition point due to a change in power supply voltage
from the nominal value. The PSR ratio (PSRR) is defined as the
ratio of the power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f,
to the power of a 100 mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC’s
V
and VSS supplies of Frequency fS.
DD
PSRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/Pf
)
S
where:
Pf is equal to the power at Frequency f in the ADC output.
Pf
is equal to the power at Frequency fS coupled onto the AVCC
S
supply.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between all input channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale
sine wave signal, up to 160 kHz, to all unselected input channels
and then determining the degree to which the signal attenuates
in the selected channel with a 1 kHz sine wave signal applied (see
Figure 25).
AD7608
V
A
THEORY OF OPERATION
CONVERTER DETAILS
The AD7608 is a data acquisition system that employs a high
speed, low power, charge redistribution, successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and allows the
simultaneous sampling of eight analog input channels. The
analog inputs on the AD7608 can accept true bipolar input
signals. The RANGE pin is used to select either ±10 V or
±5 V as the input range. The AD7608 operates from a single
5 V supply.
The AD7608 contains input clamp protection, input signal
scaling amplifiers, a second-order antialiasing filter, track-andhold amplifiers, an on-chip reference, reference buffers, a high
speed ADC, a digital filter, and high speed parallel and serial
interfaces. Sampling on the AD7608 is controlled using the
CONVST x signals.
ANALOG INPUT
Analog Input Ranges
The AD7608 can handle true bipolar, single-ended input
voltages. The logic level on the RANGE pin determines the
analog input range of all analog input channels. If this pin
is tied to a logic high, the analog input range is ±10 V for
all channels. If this pin is tied to a logic low, the analog input
range is ±5 V for all channels. A logic change on the RANGE
pin has an immediate effect on the analog input range; however, there is typically a settling time of approximately 80 µs,
in addition to the normal acquisition time requirement. The
recommended practice is to hardwire the RANGE pin
according to the desired input range for the system signals.
Analog Input Impedance
The analog input impedance of the AD7608 is 1 MΩ. This is
a fixed input impedance that does not vary with the AD7608
sampling frequency. This high analog input impedance eliminates the need for a driver amplifier in front of the AD7608,
allowing for direct connection to the source or sensor. With
the need for a driver amplifier eliminated, bipolar supplies
(which are often a source of noise in a system) can be
removed from the signal chain.
Analog Input Clamp Protection
Figure 31 shows the analog input structure of the AD7608.
Each AD7608 analog input contains clamp protection circuitry.
Despite single 5 V supply operation, this analog input clamp
protection allows for an input overvoltage up to ±16.5 V.

A series resistor should be placed on the analog input channels
to limit the current to ±10 mA for input voltages above ±16.5 V.
In an application where there is a series resistance on an analog
input channel, Vx, a corresponding resistance is required on the
analog input GND channel, VxGND (see Figure 33). If there is
no corresponding resistor on the VxGND channel, an offset
error occurs on that channel.

Analog Input Antialiasing Filter
An analog antialiasing filter (a second-order Butterworth) is also
provided on the AD7608. Figure 34 and Figure 35 show the
frequency and phase response, respectively, of the analog
antialiasing filter. In the ±5 V range, the −3 dB frequency is

Track-and-Hold Amplifiers
The track-and-hold amplifiers on the AD7608 allow the ADC
to accurately acquire an input sine wave of full-scale amplitude
to 18-bit resolution. The track-and-hold amplifiers sample
their respective inputs simultaneously on the rising edge of
CONVST x. The aperture time for track-and-hold (that is, the
delay time between the external CONVST x signal and the
08938-135
08938-033
track-and-hold actually going into hold) is well matched, by design,
across all eight track-and-holds on one device and from device
to device. This matching allows more than one AD7608 device
to be sampled simultaneously in a system.
The end of the conversion process across all eight channels is
indicated by the falling edge of BUSY; and it is at this point that the
track-and-holds return to track mode, and the acquisition time
for the next set of conversions begins.
The conversion clock for the part is internally generated, and
the conversion time for all channels is 4 µs on the AD7608. The
BUSY signal returns low after all eight conversions to indicate the
end of the conversion process. On the falling edge of BUSY, the
track-and-hold amplifiers return to track mode. New data can
be read from the output register via the parallel, parallel byte, or
serial interface after BUSY goes low; or, alternatively, data from
the previous conversion can be read while BUSY is high. Reading
data from the AD7608 while a conversion is in progress has little
affect on performance and allows a faster throughput to be
achieved. In parallel mode at V
> 3.3 V, the SNR is reduced
DRIVE
by ~1.5 dB when reading during a conversion.
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding of the AD7608 is twos complement. The
designed code transitions occur midway between successive
integer LSB values, that is, 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSB. The LSB size is
FSR/262,144 for the AD7608. The ideal transfer characteristic
for the AD7608 is shown in Figure 36.

INTERNAL/EXTERNAL REFERENCE
The AD7608 contains an on-chip 2.5 V band gap reference. The
REFIN/REFOUT pin allows access to the 2.5 V reference that
generates the on-chip 4.5 V reference internally, or it allows an
external reference of 2.5 V to be applied to the AD7608. An
externally applied reference of 2.5 V is also gained up to 4.5 V,
using the internal buffer. This 4.5 V buffered reference is the
reference used by the SAR ADC.
The REF SELECT pin is a logic input pin that allows the user to
select between the internal reference or an external reference.
If this pin is set to logic high, the internal reference is selected
and enabled. If this pin is set to logic low, the internal reference
is disabled and an external reference voltage must be applied
to the REFIN/REFOUT pin. The internal reference buffer is
always enabled. After a reset, the AD7608 operates in the reference
mode selected by the REF SELECT pin. Decoupling is required
on the REFIN/REFOUT pin for both the internal and external
reference options. A 10 µF ceramic capacitor is required on the
REFIN/REFOUT pin.
The AD7608 contains a reference buffer configured to gain the
REF voltage up to ~4.5 V, as shown in Figure 37. The REFCAPA
and REFCAPB pins must be shorted together externally, and a
ceramic capacitor of 10 F applied to REFGND, to ensure that
the reference buffer is in closed-loop operation. The reference
voltage available at the REFIN/REFOUT pin is 2.5 V.
When the AD7608 is configured in external reference mode,
the REFIN/REFOUT pin is a high input impedance pin. For
applications using multiple AD7608 devices, the following
configurations are recommended, depending on the application
requirements.
External Reference Mode
One ADR421 external reference can be used to drive the
REFIN/REFOUT pins of all AD7608 devices (see Figure 38).
In this configuration, each REFIN/REFOUT pin of the AD7608
should be decoupled with at least a 100 nF decoupling capacitor.
Internal Reference Mode
One AD7608 device, configured to operate in the internal reference mode, can be used to drive the remaining AD7608 devices,
which are configured to operate in external reference mode (see
Figure 39). The REFIN/REFOUT pin of the AD7608, configured
in internal reference mode, should be decoupled using a 10 µF
ceramic decoupling capacitor. The other AD7608 devices,
configured in external reference mode, should use at least a
100 nF decoupling capacitor on their REFIN/REFOUT pins.

operate with the internal reference or an externally applied

to operate with the internal reference. When using a single
AD7608 device on the board, the REFIN/REFOUT pin
should be decoupled with a 10 µF capacitor. Refer to the
Internal/External Reference section when using an application
with multiple AD7608 devices. The REFCAPA and REFCAPB

current consumption is 8 mA maximum and power-up time
is approximately 100 µs because the capacitor on the REFCAPA
and REFCAPB pins must charge up. In standby mode, the
on-chip reference and regulators remain powered up, and the
amplifiers and ADC core are powered down.
When the AD7608 is placed in shutdown mode, the current
consumption is 11 µA maximum and power-up time is approximately 13 ms (external reference mode). In shutdown mode,
all circuitry is powered down. When the AD7608 is powered
up from shutdown mode, a RESET signal must be applied to
the AD7608 after the required power-up time has elapsed.

CONVERSION CONTROL
Simultaneous Sampling on All Analog Input Channels
The AD7608 allows simultaneous sampling of all analog input
channels. All channels are sampled simultaneously when both
CONVST x pins (CONVST A, CONVST B) are tied together.
A single CONVST x signal is used to control both CONVST x
inputs. The rising edge of this common CONVST x signal
initiates simultaneous sampling on all analog input channels.
The AD7608 contains an on-chip oscillator that is used to
perform the conversions. The conversion time for all ADC
channels is t
conversions are in progress, so when the rising edge of CONVST x
is applied, BUSY goes logic high and transitions low at the end
of the entire conversion process. The falling edge of the BUSY
signal is used to place all eight track-and-hold amplifiers back
into track mode. The falling edge of BUSY also indicates that
the new data can now be read from the parallel bus (DB[15:0]),

Simultaneously Sampling Two Sets of Channels
The AD7608 also allows the analog input channels to be
sampled simultaneously in two sets. This can be used in powerline protection and measurement systems to compensate for
phase differences introduced by PT and CT transformers. In a
50 Hz system, this allows for up to 9° of phase compensation; and
in a 60 Hz system, it allows for up to 10° of phase compensation.
This is accomplished by pulsing the two CONVST x pins
independently and is possible only if oversampling is not in
use. CONVST A is used to initiate simultaneous sampling of
the first set of channels (V1 to V4) and CONVST B is used
to initiate simultaneous sampling on the second set of analog
input channels (V5 to V8), as illustrated in Figure 41. On the
rising edge of CONVST A, the track-and-hold amplifiers for
the first set of channels are placed into hold mode. On the
rising edge of CONVST B, the track-and-hold amplifiers for
the second set of channels are placed into hold mode. The conversion process begins once both rising edges of CONVST x
have occurred; therefore BUSY goes high on the rising edge of
the later CONVST x signal. In Table 3 , Time t
indicates the
5
maximum allowable time between CONVST x sampling points.
There is no change to the data read process when using two
separate CONVST x signals.
Connect all unused analog input channels to AGND. The results
for any unused channels are still included in the data read because
all channels are always converted.

Data can be read from the AD7608 while BUSY is high and
conversions are in progress. This has little effect on the
performance of the converter and allows a faster throughput
rate to be achieved. A parallel or serial read may be performed
during conversions and when oversampling may or may not
be in use. Figure 3 shows the timing diagram for reading while
BUSY is high in parallel or serial mode. Reading during conversions allows the full throughput rate to be achieved when using

DIGITAL FILTER
The AD7608 contains an optional digital first-order sinc filter
that should be used in applications where slower throughput
rates are used or where higher signal-to-noise ratio or dynamic
range is desirable. The oversampling ratio of the digital filter is
controlled using the oversampling pins, OS [2:0] (see Table 8).
OS 2 is the MSB control bit, and OS 0 is the LSB control bit.
Table 8 provides the oversampling bit decoding to select the
different oversample rates. The OS pins are latched on the falling
edge of BUSY. This sets the oversampling rate for the next
conversion (see Figure 45). In addition to the oversampling
function, the output result is decimated to 18-bit resolution.
If the OS pins are set to select an OS ratio of 8, the next
CONVST x rising edge takes the first sample for each channel,
and the remaining seven samples for all channels are taken with
an internally generated sampling signal. These samples are then
averaged to yield an improvement in SNR performance. Table 8
shows typical SNR performance for both the ±10 V and the
±5 V range. As Table 8 indicates, there is an improvement in
SNR as the OS ratio increases. As the OS ratio increases, the
3 dB frequency is reduced, and the allowed sampling frequency
is also reduced. In an application where the required sampling
frequency is 10 kSPS, an OS ratio of up to 16 can be used. In
this case, the application sees an improvement in SNR, but the
input 3 dB bandwidth is limited to ~6 kHz.
The CONVST A and CONVST B pins must be tied/driven
together when oversampling is turned on. When the oversampling function is turned on, the BUSY high time for the
conversion process extends. The actual BUSY high time
depends on the oversampling rate selected: the higher
the oversampling rate, the longer the BUSY high, or total
conversion time (see Table 3).

Figure 44 shows that the conversion time extends as the oversampling rate is increased, and the BUSY signal lengthens for the
different oversampling rates. For example, a sampling frequency
of 10 kSPS yields a cycle time of 100 μs. Figure 44 shows OS × 2
and OS × 4; for a 10 kSPS example, there is adequate cycle time to
further increase the oversampling rate and yield greater improvements in SNR performance. In an application where the initial
sampling or throughput rate is at 200 kSPS, for example, and
oversampling is turned on, the throughput rate must be reduced
to accommodate the longer conversion time and to allow for the
read. To achieve the fastest throughput rate possible when oversampling is turned on, the read can be performed during the
BUSY high time. The falling edge of BUSY is used to update the
output data registers with the new conversion data; therefore, the
reading of conversion data should not occur on this edge.

When the oversampling mode is selected, this has the effect
of adding a digital filter function after the ADC. The different
oversampling rates and the CONVST x sampling frequency
produces different digital filter frequency profiles.
Figure 53 to Figure 58 show the digital filter frequency profiles
for oversampling by 2 to oversampling by 64. The combination
of the analog antialiasing filter and the oversampling digital
filter can be used to eliminate or reduce the complexity of the
design of the filter before the AD7608. The digital filtering
combines steep roll-off and linear phase response.

AD7608
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7608 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to different areas of the board.
Use at least one ground plane. It can be common or split
between the digital and analog sections. In the case of the split
plane, the digital and analog ground planes should be joined in
only one place, preferably as close as possible to the AD7608.
If the AD7608 is in a system where multiple devices require
analog-to-digital ground connections, the connection should
still be made at only one point: a star ground point should be
established as close as possible to the AD7608. Good connections
should be made to the ground plane. Avoid sharing one connection for multiple ground pins. Individual vias or multiple vias to
the ground plane should be used for each ground pin.
Avoid running digital lines under the devices because doing so
couples noise onto the die. Allow the analog ground plane to
run under the AD7608 to avoid noise coupling. Fast switching
signals like CONVST A, CONVST B, or clocks should be shielded
with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of
the board, and they should never run near analog signal paths.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Run traces on
layers in close proximity on the board at right angles to each
other to reduce the effect of feedthrough through the board.
The power supply lines to the AV
and V
CC
pins on the
DRIVE
AD7608 should use as large a trace as possible to provide
low impedance paths and reduce the effect of glitches on the
power supply lines. Where possible, use supply planes. Good
connections should be made between the AD7608 supply pins
and the power tracks on the board. Use a single via or multiple
vias for each supply pin.
Good decoupling is also important to lower the supply impedance
presented to the AD7608 and to reduce the magnitude of the
supply spikes. The decoupling capacitors should be placed close
to (ideally right up against) these pins and their corresponding
ground pins. Place the decoupling capacitors for the REFIN/
REFOUT pin and the REFCAPA and REFCAPB pins as close
as possible to their respective AD7608 pins and where possible
they should be placed on the same side of the board as the
AD7608 device. Figure 59 shows the recommended decoupling
on the top layer of the AD7608 board. Figure 60 shows bottom
layer decoupling. Bottom layer decoupling is for the four AV
pins and the V
DRIVE
pin.

AD7608
To ensure good device-to-device performance matching, in a
system that contains multiple AD7608 devices, a symmetrical
layout between the AD7608 devices is important.
Figure 61 shows a layout with two devices. The AV
plane runs to the right of both devices. The V
DRIVE
supply
CC
supply
track runs to the left of the two devices. The reference chip
is positioned between both the two devices and the reference
voltage track runs north to Pin 42 of U1 and south to Pin 42
to U2. A solid ground plane is used.
These symmetrical layout principles can be applied to a system
that contains more than two AD7608 devices. The AD7608
devices can be placed in a north-south direction with the
reference voltage located midway between the AD7608 devices
with the reference track running in the north-south direction
similar to Figure 61.
