Description
The CS5371A and CS5372A are one- and two-channel,
high-dynamic-range, fourth-order ΔΣ modulators intended for geophysical and sonar applications. When
combined with CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers, the CS4373A test DAC and CS5376A digital filter, a
small, low-power, self-testing, high-accuracy, multichannel measurement system results.
The modulators have high dynamic range and low total
harmonic distortion with very low power consumption.
They convert differential analog input signals from the
CS3301A / CS3302A amplifiers to an oversampled serial bit stream at 512 kbits per second. This oversampled
bit stream is then decimated by the CS5376A digital filter
to a 24-bit output at the selected output word rate.
In normal operation, power consumption is 5 mA per
channel. Each modulator can be independently powered
down to 500 µA per channel, and by halting the input
clock they will enter a micro-power state using only 2 µA
per channel.
The CS5371A and CS5372A modulators are available in
small 24-pin SSOP packages, providing exceptional performance in a very small footprint.

3. MODULATOR OPERATION
The CS5371A and CS5372A are one- and
two-channel, fourth-order ΔΣ modulators optimized for extremely high-resolution measurement of signals between DC and 2000 Hz.
When combined with CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers, the CS4373A test DAC
and CS5376A digital filter, a small, low-power,
self-testing, high-accuracy, multi-channel
measurement system results.
The CS5371A and CS5372A modulators have
high dynamic range and low total harmonic
distortion with very low power consumption
and are optimized for extremely high-resolution measurement of 5 V
tial signals. They convert analog input signals
from the CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers to an oversampled serial bit stream at
512 kbits per second which is then passed to
the digital filter.
The companion CS5376A digital filter generates the clock and synchronization inputs for
14DS748F3
or smaller differen-
p-p
the CS5371A / CS5372A modulators while receiving the one-bit data and over-range flag
outputs. The digital filter decimates the modulator’s oversampled output bit stream to a
high-resolution, 24-bit output at the selected
output word rate.
3.1 One’s Density
In normal operation a differential analog input
signal is converted to an oversampled ΔΣ serial bit stream on the MDATA output, with a
one’s density proportional to the differential
amplitude of the analog input signal.
One’s density of the MDATA output is defined
as the ratio of ‘1’ bits to total bits in the serial
bit stream output, i.e. an 86% one’s density
has, on average, a ‘1’ value in 86 of every 100
output data bits. The MDATA output has a
nominal 50% one’s density for a mid-scale differential input, approximately 86% one’s density for a positive full-scale input signal, and
approximately 14% one’s density for a negative full-scale input signal.
3.2 Decimated 24-bit Output

When the CS5371A and CS5372A modulator
operates with the CS5376A digital filter, the final decimated, 24-bit, full-scale output code
range depends if digital offset correction is enabled. With digital offset correction enabled
within the digital filter, amplifier offset and the
modulator internal offset are removed from the
final conversion result.
3.3 Synchronization
The modulator is designed to operate synchronously with other modulators in a distributed
measurement network, so a rising edge on the
MSYNC input resets the internal conversion
state machine to synchronize analog sample
timing. MSYNC is automatically generated by
the CS5376A digital filter after receiving a synchronization signal from the external system,
and is chip-to-chip accurate within ± 1 MCLK
period.
CS5371A CS5372A
3.4 Idle Tones
The CS5371A and CS5372A are delta-sigmatype modulators and so can produce “idle
tones” in the measurement bandwidth when
the differential input signal is a steady-state
DC signal near mid-scale. Idle tones result
from low-frequency patterns in the output data
stream and appear in the measurement spectrum as small tones about -13 5 dB do wn f ro m
full scale.
If the OFST pin is pulled high, idle tones are
eliminated within the modulator by adding
-60 mV (channel 1 of CS5371A and CS5372A)
or -35 mV (channel 2 of CS5372A) of internal
differential offset during conversion to push
idle tones out of the measurement bandwidth.
Care should be taken to ensure external offset
voltages do not negate the internally added
differential offset, or idle tones will re-appear.
3.5 Stability
The CS5371A and CS5372A ΔΣ modulators
have a fourth-order architecture which is conditionally stable and may go into an oscillatory
condition if the analog inputs are over-ranged
more than 5% past either positive or negative
full scale.
If an unstable condition is detected, the modulator collapses to a first-order system and transitions the MFLAG output low-to-high to signal
an error condition to the CS5376A digital filter.
The analog input signal must be reduced to
within the full-scale range for at least 32 MCLK
cycles for the modulator to recover from an oscillatory condition. If the analog input remains
over-ranged for an extended period, the modulator will cycle between fourth-order and firstorder operation and the MFLAG output will be
seen to pulse.

4. ANALOG SIGNALS
The CS5371A and CS5372A modulators have
differential analog inputs which are separated
into rough and fine charge differential pairs
(INR±, INF±) to maximize sampling accuracy.
Both sets of modulator inputs require a simple
differential anti-alias RC filter to ensure highfrequency signals do not alias into the measurement bandwidth.
4.1 INR±, INF± Modulator Inputs
The modulator analog inputs are separated
into differential rough and fine signals (INR±,
INF±). The positive half of the differential input
signal is connected to INR+ and INF+, while
the negative half is attached to INF- and INR-.
The INR± pins are switched-capacitor ‘rough
charge’ inputs that pre-charge the internal analog sampling capacitor before it is connected
to the INF± fine input pins.
16DS748F3
4.2 Input Impedance
The modulator inputs have a dynamic
switched-capacitor architecture and so have a
rough charge input impedance that is inversely
proportional to the input master clock frequency and the input capacitor size, [1 / (f x C)].
Internal to the modulator, the rough inputs
(INR±) pre-charge the sampling capacitor
used by the fine inputs (INF±), therefore the input current to the fine inputs is typically very
low and the effective input impedance is orders of magnitude above the impedance of the
rough inputs.
CS5371A CS5372A
•MCLK Frequency = 2.048 MHz
•Sampling Frequency = MCLK / 4 = 512 kHz
•-3 dB Filter Corner = Sampling Freq / 64 = 8 kHz
•RC filter = 1 / [ 2π x(2xR
series
)xC
diff
] ~ 8 kHz
4.3 Anti-alias Filter
The modulator inputs are required to be bandwidth limited to ensure modulator loop stability
and prevent high-frequency signals from aliasing into the measurement bandwidth. The use
of simple, single-pole, differential, low-pass
RC filters across the INR± and INF± inputs ensures high-frequency signals are rejected before they can alias into the measurement
bandwidth.
The CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers are designed with separate rough and fine
analog outputs (OUTR±, OUTF±) that match
the modulator rough and fine inputs (INR±,
INF±). External anti-alias series resistors and
external differential capacitors are required to
create the anti-alias RC filters.
The approximate -3 dB corner of the input antialias filter is nominally set to the internal analog sampling rate divided by 64, which itself is
a division by 4 of the MCLK rate.
ing X7R-type capacitors on the fine analog inputs will significantly degrade total harmonic
distortion performance.
4.4 Analog Differential Signals
Differential analog signals into the CS5371A
and CS5372A consist of two halves with equal
but opposite magnitude varying about a common mode voltage. A full-scale, 5 V
P-P
, differential signal centered on a -0.15 V common
mode voltage will have:
SIG+ = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = +1.1 V
SIG- = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG+ is +2.5 V relative to SIG-
For the opposite case:
SIG+ = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG- = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = +1.1 V
SIG+ is -2.5 V relative to SIG-
So the total swing for SIG+ relative to SIG- is
(+2.5 V) – (-2.5 V) = 5 V
differential. A simi-
p-p
lar calculation can be done for SIG- relative to
SIG+.
Figure 9 on page 13 illustrates the CS5371A and
CS5372A modulator analog connections with
input anti-alias filter components. Filter components on the rough and fine pins should be
identical values for optimum performance, with
the capacitor values a minimum of 0.02 μF.
The rough input can use either X7R- or C0Gtype capacitors, while the fine input requires
C0G-type capacitors for optimal linearity. Us-
DS748F317
It’s important to note that a 5 V
differential
p-p
signal centered on a -0.15 V common mode
voltage never exceeds +1.1 V with respect to
ground and never drops below -1.4 V with respect to ground on either half. By definition,
differential voltages are measured with respect to the opposite half, not relative to
ground. A voltmeter differentially measuring
between SIG+ and SIG- in the above example
would correctly read 1.767 V

5. DIGITAL SIGNALS
The CS5371A and CS5372A modulators are
designed to operate with the CS5376A digital
filter. The digital filter generates the modulator
clock and synchronization signals (MCLK and
MSYNC) while receiving back the modulator
one-bit ΔΣ conversion data and over-range
flag (MDATA and MFLAG).
5.1 MCLK Connection
The CS5376A digital filter generates the master clock for CS5371A and CS5372A, typically
2.048 MHz, from a synchronous clock input
from the external system. If MCLK is disabled
during operation, the modulators will enter a
power down state after approximately 40 µS.
By default, MCLK is disabled at reset and is
enabled by writing the digital filter CONFIG
register.
MCLK must have low jitter to guarantee full analog performance, requiring a crystal- or
VCXO-based system clock input to the digital
18DS748F3
filter. Clock jitter on the digital filter CLK input
directly translates to jitter on MCLK.
5.2 MSYNC Connection
The CS5376A digital filter also provides a synchronization signal to the CS5371A and
CS5372A modulators. The MSYNC signal is
automatically generated following a rising
edge received on the digital filter SYNC input.
By default, MSYNC generation is disabled at
reset and is enabled by writing the digital filter
CONFIG register.
The input SYNC signal to the CS5376A digital
filter sets a common reference time t0 for measurement events, thereby synchronizing analog sampling across a measurement network.
The timing accuracy of the received SYNC signal from measurement node to measurement
node must be ±1 MCLK to maximize the
MSYNC analog sample synchronization accuracy.
CS5371A CS5372A
The CS5371A and CS5372A MSYNC input is
rising-edge triggered and resets the internal
MCLK counter/divider to guarantee synchronous operation with other system devices.
While the MSYNC signal synchronizes the internal operation of the modulators, by default,
it does not synchronize the phase of the sine
wave from the CS4373A test DAC unless enabled in the digital filter TBSCFG register.
5.3 MDATA Connection
During normal operation the CS5371A and
CS5372A modulators output a ΔΣ serial bit
stream to the MDATA pin, with a one’s density
proportional to the differential amplitude of the
analog input signal. The output bit rate from
the MDATA output is a divide-by-four of the input MCLK, and so is nominally 512 kHz.
The MDATA output has a 50% one’s density
for a mid-scale analog input, approximately
86% one’s density for a positive full-scale analog input, and approximately 14% one’s density for a negative full-scale analog input. One’s
density of the MDATA output is defined as the
ratio of ‘1’ bits to total bits in the serial bit
stream output; i.e. an 86% one’s density has,
on average, a ‘1’ value in 86 of every 100 output data bits.
5.4 MFLAG Connection
The CS5371A and CS5372A ΔΣ modulators
have a fourth-order architecture which is conditionally stable and may go into an oscillatory
condition if the analog inputs are over-ranged
more than 5% past either positive or negative
full-scale.
When an unstable condition is detected, the
modulator automatically collapses to a first-order system to regain stability and then transitions the MFLAG output low-to-high to signal
an error condition to the CS5376A digital filter.
The MFLAG output connects to a dedicated input on the digital filter, causing an error flag to
be set in the status byte of the next output data
word.
For the modulator to recover from an unstable
condition, the analog input signal must be reduced to within the full-scale input range for at
least 32 MCLK cycles. If the analog input remains over-ranged for an extended period, the
modulator will cycle between fourth-order and
first-order operation and the MFLAG output
will be seen to pulse.
5.5 OFST Connection
The CS5376A controls 12 general-purpose input output (GPIO) pins through the digital filter
GPCFG register. These GPIO pins can be assigned to operate the CS5371A and CS5372A
OFST and PWDN pins.
If the OFST pin is pulled high, idle tones are
eliminated within the modulator by adding
-60 mV (channel 1 of CS5371A and CS5372A)
or -35 mV (channel 2 of CS5372A) of internal
differential offset during conversion to push
idle tones out of the measurement bandwidth.
Care should be taken to ensure external offset
voltages do not negate the internally added
differential offset, or idle tones will re-appear.

CS5371A CS5372A
The CS5371A and CS5372A modulators have
three power modes. Normal operation, power
down with MCLK enabled, and power down
with MCLK disabled.
6.1 Normal Operation
With MCLK active and the PWDN pin driven
low, the CS5371A and CS5372A modulators
perform normal data acquisition. A differential
analog input signal is converted to an oversampled 1-bit ΔΣ bit stream at 512 kHz. This ΔΣ
bit stream is then digitally filtered and decimated by the CS5376A device to a high-precision
24-bit output.
6.2 Power Down, MCLK Enabled
With MCLK active and the PWDN pin driven
high, the CS5371A and CS5372A modulators
are placed into a power-down state. During
this power-down state the modulators are disabled and all outputs are high impedance.
6.3 Power Down, MCLK Disabled
If MCLK is stopped, an internal loss-of-clock
detection circuit automatically places the
CS5371A and CS5372A into a power-down
state. This power-down state is independent of
the PWDN pin setting and is automatically invoked after approximately 40 μs without receiving an incoming MCLK edge.
During this power-down state, the modulators
are disabled and all outputs are high impedance. When used with the CS5376A digital filter, the CS5371A and CS5372A are in this
power-down state immediately after reset
since MCLK is disabled by default.

CS5371A CS5372A
The CS5371A and CS5372A modulators require a 2.500 V precision voltage reference to
be supplied to the VREF± pins.
7.1 VREF Power Supply
To guarantee proper regulation headroom for
the voltage reference device, the voltage reference GND pin should be connected to VA- instead of system ground, as shown in
Figure 14. This connection results in a VREF-
voltage equal to VA- and a VREF+ voltage
very near ground [(VA-) + 2.500 VREF].
Power supply inputs to the voltage reference
device should be bypassed to system ground
with 0.1 μF capacitors placed as close as possible to the power and ground pins. In addition
to 0.1 μF local bypass capacitors, at least
100 μF of bulk capacitance to system ground
should be placed on each power supply near
the voltage regulator outputs. Bypass capacitors should be X7R, C0G, tantalum, or other
high-quality dielectric type.
ence output. By sharing a common RC filter,
signal-dependent sampling of the voltage reference by one system device could cause unwanted tones to appear in the measurement
bandwidth of another system device via common impedance coupling.
7.3 VREF PCB Routing
To minimize the possibility of outside noise
coupling into the CS5371A and CS5372A voltage reference input, the VREF± traces should
be routed as a differential pair from the large
capacitor of the voltage reference RC filter.
Careful control of the voltage reference source
and return currents by routing VREF± as a differential pair will significantly improve immunity from external noise.
To further improve noise rejection of the
VREF
pass
± differential route, include 0.1 μF by-
capacitors to system ground as close as
possible to the VREF+ and VREF- pins of the
CS5371A and CS5372A.
7.2 VREF RC Filter
A primary concern in selecting a precision voltage reference device is noise performance in
the measurement bandwidth. The Linear
Technology LT1019AIS8-2.5 voltage refer-
ence yields acceptable noise levels if the output is filtered with a low-pass RC filter.
A separate RC filter is required for each system device connected to a given voltage refer-
DS748F321
7.4 VREF Input Impedance
The switched-capacitor input architecture of
the VREF
± inputs results in an input imped-
ance that depends on the internal capacitor
size and the MCLK frequency. With a 15 pF internal capacitor and a 2.048 MHz MCLK, the
VREF input impedance is approximately
1 / [(2.048 MHz) x (15 pF)] = 32 kΩ. While the
size of the internal capacitor is fixed, the volt-
CS5371A CS5372A
age reference input impedance will vary with
MCLK.
The voltage reference external RC filter series
resistor creates a voltage divider with the
VREF input impedance to reduce the effective
applied input voltage. To minimize gain error
resulting from this voltage divider effect, the
RC filter series resistor should be the minimum
size recommended in the voltage reference
device data sheet.
7.5 VREF Accuracy
The nominal voltage reference input is specified as 2.500 V across the VREF
CS5371A and CS5372A gain accuracy speci-
± pins, and all
fications are measured using a nominal voltage reference input. Any variation from a
nominal VREF input will proportionally vary the
analog full-scale gain accuracy.
Since temperature drift of the voltage reference results in gain drift of the analog full-scale
amplitude, care should be taken to minimize
temperature drift effects through careful selection of passive components and the voltage
reference device itself. Gain drift specifications
of the CS5371A and CS5372A do not include
the temperature drift effects of external passive components or of the voltage reference
device itself.

Figure 15. Power Supply Diagram
CS5371A CS5372A
The CS5371A and CS5372A modulators have
a positive analog power supply pin (VA+), a
negative analog power supply pin (VA-), a digital power supply pin (VD), and a ground pin
(GND).
For proper operation, power must be supplied
to all power supply pins, and the ground pin
must be connected to system ground. The
CS5371A and CS5372A digital power supply
(VD) and the CS5376A digital power supply
(VDD) must share a common voltage.
8.1 Power Supply Bypassing
The VA+, VA-, and VD power supplies should
be bypassed to system ground with 0.1 μF capacitors placed as close as possible to the
power pins of the device. In addition to the
0.1 μF local bypass capacitors, at least 100 μF
bulk capacitance to system ground should be
placed on each power supply near the voltage
regulator output, with additional power supply
bulk capacitance placed among the analog
component route if space permits. Bypass capacitors should be X7R, C0G, tantalum, or
other high-quality dielectric type.
8.2 PCB Layers and Routing
The CS5371A and CS5372A are high-performance devices, and special care must be taken to ensure power and ground routing is
correct. Power can be supplied either through
dedicated power planes or routed traces.
DS748F323
When routing power traces, it is recommended
to use a “star” routing scheme with the star
point either at the voltage regulator output or at
a local power supply bulk capacitor.
It is also recommended to dedicate a full PCB
layer to a solid ground plane, without splits or
routing. All bypass capacitors should connect
between the power supply circuit and the solid
ground plane as near as possible to the device
power supply pins.
The CS5371A and CS5372A analog signals
are differentially routed and do not normally require connection to a separate analog ground.
However, if a separate analog ground is required, it should be routed using a “star” routing scheme on a separate layer from the solid
ground plane and connected to the ground
plane only at a single point. Be sure all active
devices and passive components connected
to the separate analog ground are included in
the “star” route to ensure sensitive analog currents do not return through the ground plane.
8.3 Power Supply Rejection
Power supply rejection of the CS5371A and
CS5372A is frequency dependent. The
CS5376A digital filter fully rejects power supply noise for frequencies above the selected
digital filter corner frequency. Power supply
noise frequencies between DC and the digital
filter corner frequency are rejected as specified in the Power Supply Characteristics table.
CS5371A CS5372A
8.4 SCR Latch-up Considerations
It is recommended to connect the VA- power
supply to system ground (GND) with a reverse-biased Schottky diode. At power up, if
the VA+ power supply ramps up before the
VA- supply is established, the VA- pin voltage
could be pulled above ground potential
through the CS5371A and CS5372A device. If
the VA- supply is pulled 0.7 V or more above
GND, SCR latch-up can occur. A reverse-biased Schottky diode will clamp the VA- voltage
a maximum of 0.3 V above ground to ensure
SCR latch-up does not occur at power up.
8.5 DC-DC Converters
Many low-frequency measurement systems
are battery powered and utilize DC-DC converters to efficiently generate power supply
voltages. To minimize interference effects, operate the DC-DC converter at a frequency
which is rejected by the digital filter, or operate
it synchronous to the MCLK rate.
A synchronous DC-DC converter whose operating frequency is derived from MCLK will theoretically minimize the potential for “beat
frequencies” to appear in themeasurement
bandwidth. However this requires the source
clock to remain jitter free within the DC-DC
converter circuitry. If clock jitter can occur within the DC-DC converter (as in a PLL-based architecture), it’s better to use a nonsynchronous DC-DC converter whose switching frequency is rejected by the digital filter.
During PCB layout, do not place high-current
DC-DC converters near sensitive analog components. Carefully routing a separate DC-DC
“star” ground will help isolate noisy switching
currents away from the sensitive analog components.
