GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are high speed, 1-, 4-, and
8-channel, microprocessor-compatible, 8-bit analog-to-digital
converters with a maximum throughput of 2 MSPS. The AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829 contain an on-chip reference of 2.5 V
(2% tolerance), a track/hold amplifier, a 420 ns 8-bit half-flash
ADC and a high speed parallel interface. The converters can
operate from a single 3 V ± 10% and 5 V ± 10% supply.

The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 combine the convert start
and power-down functions at one pin, i.e., the CONVST pin.
This allows a unique automatic power-down at the end of a
conversion to be implemented. The logic level on the CONVST
pin is sampled after the end of a conversion when an EOC (End
of Conversion) signal goes high, and if it is logic low at that
point, the ADC is powered down. The AD7822 and AD7825
also have a separate power-down pin. (See Operating Modes
section of the data sheet.)

The parallel interface is designed to allow easy interfacing to
microprocessors and DSPs. Using only address decoding logic,
the parts are easily mapped into the microprocessor address
space. The EOC pulse allows the ADCs to be used in a stand­alone manner. (See Parallel Interface section of the data sheet.)

The AD7822 and AD7825 are available in a 20-/24-lead 0.3"
wide, plastic dual-in-line package (DIP), a 20-/24-lead small out­line IC (SOIC) and a 20-/24-lead thin shrink small outline package
(TSSOP). The AD7829 is available in a 28-lead 0.6" wide, plastic
dual-in-line package (DIP), a 28-lead small outline IC (SOIC) and
in a 28-lead thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP).

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. Fast Conversion Time
The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 have a conversion time
of 420 ns. Faster conversion times maximize the DSP pro­cessing time in a real-time system.

2. Analog Input Span Adjustment
The V

pin allows the user to offset the input span. This

MID

feature can reduce the requirements of single-supply op amps
and take into account any system offsets.

3. FPBW (Full Power Bandwidth) of Track-and-Hold
The track-and-hold amplifier has an excellent high-frequency
performance. The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are
capable of converting full-scale input signals up to a fre­quency of 10 MHz. This makes the parts ideally suited to
subsampling applications.

4. Channel Selection
Channel selection is made without the necessity of writing to
the part.

AD7822/AD7825/AD7829

TERMINOLOGY
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 rms sum of all nonfundamental
signals up to half the sampling frequency (f

/2), excluding dc.

S

The ratio is dependent upon 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) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB

Thus, for an 8-bit converter, this is 50 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829
it is defined as:

V

where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3,

, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the

V

4

sixth harmonics.

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 parts
where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it will be a
noise peak.

Intermodulation Distortion

With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation 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 AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 are tested using the CCIF stan­dard where two input frequencies near the top end of the input
bandwidth are used. In this case, the second and third order
terms are of different significance. The second order terms are
usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves
while the third order terms are usually at a frequency close to
the input frequencies. As a result, the second and third order
terms are specified separately. The calculation of the intermodula­tion distortion is as per the THD specification where it is the
ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the
rms amplitude of the fundamental expressed in dBs.

Channel-to-Channel Isolation

Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale 20 kHz
sine wave signal to one input channel and determining how
much that signal is attenuated in each of the other channels.
The figure given is the worst case across all four or eight chan­nels of the AD7825 and AD7829, respectively.

Relative Accuracy

Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is the maximum
deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of
the ADC transfer function.

Differential Nonlinearity

The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change
between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.

set error has been adjusted out.

Gain Error Match

The difference in gain error between any two channels.

Track/Hold Acquisition Time

The time required for the output of the track/hold amplifier to
reach its final value, within ±1/2 LSB, after the point at which
the track/hold returns to track mode. This happens approxi­mately 120 ns after the falling edge of CONVST.

It also applies to situations where a change in the selected input
channel takes place or where there is a step input change on the
input voltage applied to the selected V

input of the AD7822/

AD7825/AD7829. It means that the user must wait for the dura­tion of the track/hold acquisition time after a channel change/step

PSR (Power Supply Rejection)

Variations in power supply will affect the full-scale transition,
but not the converter’s 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.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 consist of a track-and-hold
amplifier followed by a half-flash analog-to-digital converter.
These devices use a half-flash conversion technique where one
4-bit flash ADC is used to achieve an 8-bit result. The 4-bit
flash ADC contains a sampling capacitor followed by fifteen
comparators that compare the unknown input to a reference
ladder to achieve a 4-bit result. This first flash, i.e., coarse con­version, provides the 4 MSBs. For a full 8-bit reading to be
realized, a second flash, i.e., a fine conversion, must be per­formed to provide the 4 LSBs. The 8-bit word is then placed on
the data output bus.
