•Isolated Data Acquisition
•Simultaneous Sampling, Multichannel
Systems
The ADS7826/27/29 is a family of 10/8/12-bit sampling
analog-to-digital converters (A/D) with assured specifications at 2.7-V supply voltage. It requires very little
power even when operating at the full sample rate. At
lower conversion rates, the high speed of the device
enables it to spend most of its time in the power down
mode— the power dissipation is less than 60 µW at 7.5
kHz.
The ADS7826/27/29 also features operation from 2.0 V
to 5 V, a synchronous serial interface, and a differential
input. The reference voltage can be set to any level
within the range of 50 mV to VCC.
Ultra-low power and small package size make the
ADS7826/27/29 family ideal for battery operated systems. It is also a perfect fit for remote data acquisition
modules, simultaneous multichannel systems, and isolated data acquisition. The ADS7826/27/29 family is
available in a 3 x 3 8-pin PDSO (SON, same size as
QFN) package.

The minimum external clock input to DCLOCK can be
as low as 10 kHz. The maximum external clock
frequency is 2 MHz for ADS7829, 2.8 MHz for
ADS7826 and 3 MHz for ADS7827 respectively. The
duty cycle of the clock is essentially unimportant as
long as the minimum high and low times are at least
400 ns (VCC= 2.7 V or greater). The minimum
DCLOCK frequency is set by the leakage on the
capacitors internal to the ADS7826/27/29 family.
The analog input is provided to two input pins: +In
and -In. When a conversion is initiated, the differential
input on these pins is sampled on the internal
capacitor array. While a conversion is in progress,
both inputs are disconnected from any internal
function.

VCC+ 200 mV. Outside of these ranges, the
converter’s linearity may not meet specifications.
REFERENCE INPUT
The external reference sets the analog input range.
The ADS7826/27/29 family operates with a reference
in the range of 50 mV to VCC. There are several
important implications of this.
As the reference voltage is reduced, the analog
voltage weight of each digital output code is reduced.
This is often referred to as the LSB (least significant
bit) size and is equal to the reference voltage divided
by 2N(where N is 12 for ADS7829, 10 for ADS7826,
and 8 for ADS7827). This means that any offset or
gain error inherent in the A/D converter appears to
increase, in terms of LSB size, as the reference
voltage is reduced.
The noise inherent in the converter also appears to
increase with lower LSB size. With a 2.5 V reference,
the internal noise of the converter typically contributes
only 0.32 LSB peak-to-peak of potential error to the
the potential error contribution from the internal noise
is 50 times larger —16 LSBs. The errors due to the
internal noise are gaussian in nature and can be
reduced by averaging consecutive conversion results.

Reference Voltage (only curves for ADS7829 are

signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio with a 1 kHz, 0 dB

With lower reference voltages, extra care should be
taken to provide a clean layout including adequate
bypassing, a clean power supply, a low-noise
reference, and a low-noise input signal. Because the
LSB size is lower, the converter is more sensitive to
external sources of error such as nearby digital
signals and electromagnetic interference.

For optimum performance, care should be taken with
the physical layout of the ADS7826/27/29 family
circuitry. This is particularly true if the reference
voltage is low and/or the conversion rate is high. At a
125-kHzto250-kHzconversionrate,the
ADS7826/27/29 family makes a bit decision every
800 ns to 400 ns. That is, for each subsequent bit
decision, the digital output must be updated with the
results of the last bit decision, the capacitor array
appropriately switched and charged, and the input to
the comparator settled, for example the ADS7829, to
