16-Bit Latchup Protected Analog to Digital Converter
Latchup Protection Technology (LPTTM) automatically detects an increase in the supply current of the 7809LP converter due to a single event effect and internally cycles the power to the converter off, then on, which restores the
steady state operation of the device. A simplified block diagram of the 7809LP circuitry is shown in Figure 7. The
TM
LPT
circuitry consists of two power switch and current sensor blocks, an LPTTM controller block, a BIT current load
block, and an active input protection block.

The power switch/current sensor blocks sense the supply current drawn by the protected device on the analog and
digital supply pins. When a threshold level is exceeded on either supply line, indicating single event induced latchup of
the protected device, a signal is sent to the LPT
switches to an off state which removes the power supplies from the protected device. At the same time, a signal is
sent to open the active input protection circuits and the LPSTATUS output pin is activated. After a period of time sufficient to clear the latchup, the LPT

7809LP
Differences Between the 7809LP and the ADS7809
Because the 7809LP uses the ADS7809 die to perform the analog to digital conversion function, its operation and performance is very similar to the ADS7809 packaged part from Burr-Brown. In general the operation and application will
be the same for both parts. There are three primary differences: the operation of the supply pins, the operation of the
additional LPBIT and LPSTATUS pins, and the operation of the I/O pins when a latchup is detected.
The ADS7809 provides separate analog and digital supply pins, VANA and VDIG. These same supply pins on the
7809LPRP should be connected to the analog and digital supplies. There is no limit to the capacitance that can be
connected to these pins in the system application.
The 7809LP package also provides access to the ADS7809 die supply pins with the LPVANA and LPVDIG pins. The
signal paths between the supply input pins and the respective die supply pins are low resistance during normal device
operation. When an excessive supply current due to a single event latchup is sensed on either of the supply pins, the
TM
LPT
circuit opens both paths to the die supply pins allowing the latchup condition to clear. The LPVANA and LPVDIG pins allow access to the current sense circuitry for electrical testing at the component level and provide optimal
locations for attaching supply decoupling capacitors. CAUTION: The LPVANA and LPVDIG pins must not be connected to the respective power supplies since this will defeat the LPT
TM
power switch and could result in permanent
latchup of the device during operation in a radiation environment. Electrolytic capacitors should not be connected to
these decoupling pins because the large capacitance will increase the recovery time of the 7809LP. Low ESR ceramic
capacitors should be used with a maximum of .2µF per pin.
Memory
The LPBIT input provides a means to electrically test the LPT
TM
circuit. A high level on the this pin causes a preset
current to be drawn in addition to the normal device current through the analog and digital current sensors. If the high
TM
level is maintained for a sufficient duration, it will trigger the LPT
TM
device. If the LPBIT remains high, the LPT
circuit will continuously cycle the supply voltages off then on. Driving this
input with a 10 µs high level pulse is sufficient duration to assure the LPT
circuit which will cycle the power to the protected
TM
circuit cycles the power off then on one
time only.
A high level on the LPSTATUS output indicates that the LPT
TM
circuit has removed power from the protected device.
The LPSTATUS returns low when the power is restored. LPSTATUS can be used to generate an input to the system
TM
data processor indicating that an LPT
cycle has occurred and the protected device output accuracy may not be met
until after the respective recovery time to the event.
During the time that power is removed from the protected device, it is critical that external circuitry driving the device I/
O pins does not back-drive the device supply through input protection diodes or similar integrated structures. Backdriving of the supply through the device I/O pins could contribute to an extended or even a permanent latchup condition. For the ADS7809 testing has shown that for the normal signal range of operation on the analog input pins R1IN,
R2IN, and R3IN, latchup will not be sustained.
In order to prevent back-driving the supply from the digital I/O pins DATA, SYNC, TAG, R/C,
CS, and PWRD, the
7809LP incorporates active input protection circuits. These circuits act as transmission gates in series with the digital
inputs. During normal operation, these gates are on and present low resistance connections between the package
input pins and the respective die pins. When the LPT
TM
circuit detects a latchup, these gates are switched off and
present a high resistance path between the package inputs and the die inputs. The protected I/O pins are crow barred
during the latchup. The bidirectional signal, DATACLK, is also protected by a transmission gate.
Dedicated digital outputs are not similarly protected since in most applications there will be no appreciable drive signal
on these outputs to back-drive the pins. Pull up resistors on these outputs should be 10 K

7809LP
back-drive current. Low on resistance, transmission gate circuits are also connected between the package pins and
the die REF and CAP pins. These gates minimize the transient loading on the external filter capacitors required on
these pins. This greatly reduces the single event recovery time of the 7809LP to full accuracy after an LPT
TM
cycle.
During an LPT
TM
cycle, all outputs of the 7809LP are invalid and unpredictable until after the functional recovery time.
After the functional recovery time, data conversions occur with a degraded accuracy until the full accuracy recovery
time.
A summary of the pin differences between the ADS7809 and the 7809LP is provided in the table below.

11--LPBITA built in test function of latchup protection. A TTL high level pulse for > 5 microsec-

shall be low during normal operation.
12--LPSTATUS Latchup protection status output. This TTL level output is low during normal opera-
tion and goes high during a 10 µs decision time period prior to power being
removed. If the latch up current does not last at least 10 µs then LPTSTATUS will
go low (inactive) after the 10 µs decision period without power being removed.
When latchup protection is triggered, this output will go high for the duration of the
time that power is removed from the protected device (50 µs). All output except
LPSTATUS are invalid during the time that power is removed from the ADS7809
die. This output foes low within 1 us of the power being re-applied to the protected
device. Functional operation of the device is within ~25 µs after the LPSTATUS
output returns low with degraded accuracy due to the latchup filter circuitry. Full
accuracy is restored ~5 ms later. This output can be used to inform the system processor of the latchup protection trigger and the subsequent degraded accuracy in
the 7809LPRP output data. Output pull-up resistors should be 10k
outputs. I/O pins must not be driven high while this signal is active.

Testing the 7809LPRP Latchup Protection Circuitry
The LPVANA and LPVDIG pins provide direct access to the 7809LP converter supply pins for attaching external
decoupling capacitors to ground. These pins can also be used to test the LPT
TM
operation and threshold level by sinking a pulsed current load to ground as shown in the test circuit in Figure 8. The most accurate threshold current measurements are made with the ADS7809 in its lowest power state (PWRD = 5V).
The LPT
TM
operation and device recovery times are most easily measured using the LPBIT input to trigger protection
and recovery. Applying a 10 µsec high duration TTL level to the LPBIT pin causes internal test currents sufficient to

trigger the LPT

ing the time that the power is cycled, output signals and data from the 7809LP are invalid. The LPSTATUS signal high
indicates that power is removed from the ADS7809 die. When this signal is low, power is applied to the ADS7809 die.
The LPSTATUS signal is used to measure the supply recovery time. The supply recovery time interval starts when the
supply current rises (causing LPSTATUS to go high) and ends when the LPSTATUS signal stabilizes low again.
Within the functional recovery time interval (~25 µsec after the LPT
TM
circuit reapplies power), the normal functional
operation of the converter is restored with less than 5% full scale error. Additional settling time is then required to
return to full accuracy operation. Recovery time intervals are defined which indicate the time to recover first to within 8
bit accuracy, then to within 12 bit accuracy, and finally to full 16 bit accuracy. These recovery times are primarily due to
the single event and power cycling effects on the reference circuits and the settling times of their respective filter
capacitors.
