GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7466/AD7467/AD74681 are 12-/10-/8-bit, high speed,
low power, successive approximation analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), respectively. The parts operate from a single
1.6 V to 3.6 V power supply and feature throughput rates up to
200 kSPS with low power dissipation. The parts contain a low
noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier, which can
handle input frequencies in excess of 3 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
The maximum deviation from a straight line passing through
th
e endpoints of the ADC transfer function. For the AD7466/
AD7467/AD7468, the endpoints of the transfer function are
zero scale, a point 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full
scale, a point 1 LSB above the last code transition.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB

quantization noise.
For an ideal N-bit converter, the SNR is defined as

for ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it
is 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, and so on. Intermodulation distortion 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 AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are tested using the CCIF
tandard where two input frequencies are used. In this case,

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 sum

THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are fast, micropower, 12-bit,
10-bit, and 8-bit ADCs, respectively. The parts can be operated
from a 1.6 V to 3.6 V supply. When operated from any supply
voltage within this range, the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are
capable of throughput rates of 200 kSPS when provided with a
3.4 MHz clock.
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 provide the user with an on-
p track-and-hold, an ADC, and a serial interface housed in a
chi
tiny 6-lead SOT-23 or an 8-lead MSOP package, which offer the
user considerable space-saving advantages over alternative
solutions. The serial clock input accesses data from the part, but
also provides the clock source for the successive approximation
ADC. The analog input range is 0 V to V
. An external refer-
DD
ence is not required for the ADC, and there is no on-chip
reference. The reference for the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is
derived from the power supply, thus giving the widest possible
dynamic input range.
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 also feature an automatic
ower-down mode to allow power savings between conversions.
p
The power-down feature is implemented across the standard
serial interface, as described in the
Normal Mode section.

The conversion result consists of four leading zeros followed by
the MSB of the 12-bit, 10-bit, or 8-bit result from the AD7466,
AD7467, or AD7468, respectively. See the Serial Interface
section. Alternatively, because the supply current required by
the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is so low, a precision reference
can be used as the supply source to the devices.
The REF19x series devices are precision micropower, low drop-
ut voltage references. For the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468

or if the system supply voltages are at a value other than 3 V or
2.5 V (for example, 5 V). The REF19x outputs a steady voltage
to the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468. If the low dropout REF192 is
used when the AD7466 is converting at a rate of 100 kSPS, the
REF192 needs to supply a maximum of 240 μA to the AD7466.
The load regulation of the REF192 is typically 10 ppm/mA
(REF192, V
= 5 V), which results in an error of 2.4 ppm (6 μV)

for the 240 μA drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.0098 LSB
error for the AD7466 with V
= 2.5 V from the REF192. For
DD
applications where power consumption is important, the
automatic power-down mode of the ADC and the sleep mode
of the REF19x reference should be used to improve power
performance. See the
Normal Mode section.

For ac applications, removing high frequency components
from the analog input signal by using a band-pass filter on
the relevant analog input pin is recommended. In applications
where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical,
the analog input should be driven from a low impedance
source. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac
performance of the ADC. This might necessitate the use of an
input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function of
the particular application.
Table 8 provides typical performance data for various op amps
ed as the input buffer under constant setup conditions.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum
source impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic
distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as
the source impedance increases and performance degrades.

requency for different source impedances when using a supply

are not limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog
inputs. Instead, the digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are

POWER CONSUMPTION
The AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 automatically enter powerdown mode at the end of each conversion or if
high before the conversion is finished.
When the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are in power-down mode,
ll the analog circuitry is powered down and the current con-
a
sumption is typically 8 nA.
To achieve the lowest power dissipation, there are some
nsiderations the user should keep in mind.
co
The conversion time is determined by the serial clock
f
requency; the faster the SCLK frequency, the shorter the
conversion time. This implies that as the frequency increases,
the part dissipates power for a shorter period of time when the
conversion is taking place, and it remains in power-down mode
for a longer percentage of the cycle time or throughput rate.
Figure 26 shows two AD7466s running with two different
SCLK f
requencies, SCLK A and SCLK B, with SCLK A having
the higher SCLK frequency. For the same throughput rate, the
AD7466 using SCLK A has a shorter conversion time than the
AD7466 using SCLK B, and it remains in power-down mode
longer. The current consumption in power-down mode is very
low; thus, the average power consumption is greatly reduced.

in this section.
Power Consumption Example 1
This example shows that, for a fixed throughput rate, as the
SCLK frequency increases, the average power consumption
drops. From
1.2 MH
Figure 26, for SCLK A = 3.4 MHz, SCLK B =
z, and a throughput rate of 50 kSPS, which gives a cycle
time of 20 μs, the following values can be obtained:
Conversion Time A
= 16 × (1/SCLK A) = 4.7 μs
(23.5% of the cycle time)
Power-Down Time A
= (1/Throughput) − Conversion
Time A = 20 μs − 4.7 μs = 15.3 μs (76.5% of the cycle time)
Conversion Time B
= 16 × (1/SCLK B) = 13 μs
(65% of the cycle time)
Power-Down Time B
= (1/Throughput) − Conversion
Time B = 20 μs − 13 μs = 7 μs (35% of the cycle time)
The average power consumption includes the power dissipated
when t
he part is converting and the power dissipated when the
part is in power-down mode. The average power dissipated
during conversion is calculated as the percentage of the cycle
time spent when converting, multiplied by the maximum
current during conversion. The average power dissipated in
power-down mode is calculated as the percentage of cycle time
spent in power-down mode, multiplied by the current figure for
power-down mode. In order to obtain the value for the average
power, these terms must be multiplied by the voltage.

PS (which gives a cycle time of 10 μs), and Throughput B
= 50 kSPS (which gives a cycle time of 20 μs), the following
values can be obtained:
Conversion Time A

(47% of the cycle time for a throughput of 100 kSPS)
Power-Down Time A

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The serial interface on the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 allows
the parts to be connected directly to many different microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the AD7466/
AD7467/AD7468 with some of the more common microcontroller
and DSP serial interface protocols.
AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 to TMS320C541 Interface
The serial interface on the TMS320C541 uses a continuous
serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize
the data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the
CS
AD7466/AD7467/AD7468. The
facing between the TMS320C541 and the AD74xx devices,
without requiring any glue logic. The serial port of the
TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode (FSM = 1
in the serial port control register, SPC) with internal CLKX
(MCM = 1 in the SPC register) and internal frame signal
(TXM = 1 in the SPC register), so both pins are configured as
outputs. For the AD7466, the word length should be set to
16 bits (FO = 0 in the SPC register). The standard synchronous
serial port interface in this DSP allows only frames with a word
length of 16 bits or 8 bits. Therefore, for the AD7467 and
AD7468 where 14 and 12 bits are required, the FO bit also
would be set up to 16 bits. In these cases, the user should keep
in mind that the last 2 bits and 4 bits for the AD7467 and
AD7468, respectively, are invalid data as the SDATA line goes
back into three-state on the 14th and 12th SCLK falling edge.
To summarize, the values in the SPC register are FO = 0,
M = 1, MCM = 1, and TXM = 1.

The connection diagram in Figure 33 shows how the ADSP-218x
has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set
as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in
alternate framing mode, and the SPORT control register is set
up as described. The frame synchronization signal generated on
CS
the TFS is tied to
, and as with all signal processing applications, equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example,
the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the
ADC and, under certain conditions, equidistant sampling might
not be achieved.
The timer registers, for example, are loaded with a value that
p
rovides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When an
interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC
control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and, therefore, the reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set
in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with
TFS is given (that is, AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is
checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK goes high, low, and high
again before transmission starts. If the timer and SCLK values
are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or
near the rising edge of SCLK, the data can be transmitted, or it
can wait until the next clock edge.
For example, the ADSP-2181 has a master clock frequency of
16 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3, an
SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock periods
elapse for every SCLK period. If the timer registers are loaded
with the value 803, 100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts and,
subsequently, between transmit instructions. This situation
results in nonequidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is
occurring on an SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between
interrupts is a whole integer figure of N, equidistant sampling is
implemented by the DSP.

AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 to DSP563xx Interface
The connection diagram in Figure 34 shows how the AD7466/
AD7467/AD7468 can be connected to the synchronous serial
interface (SSI) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs from Motorola.
The SSI is operated in synchronous mode and normal mode
(SYN = 1 and MOD = 0 in Control Register B, CRB) with an
internally generated word frame sync for both Tx and Rx
(Bit FSL1 = 0 and Bit FSL0 = 0 in the CRB register). Set the
word length in Control Register A (CRA) to 16 by setting Bits
WL2 = 0, WL1 = 1, and WL0 = 0 for the AD7466. The word
length for the AD7468 can be set to 12 bits (WL2 = 0, WL1 = 0,
and WL0 = 1). This DSP does not offer the option for a 14-bit
word length, so the AD7467 word length is set up to 16 bits like
the AD7466 word length. In this case, the user should keep in
mind that the last two bits are invalid data because the SDATA
goes back into three-state on the 14th SCLK falling edge.
The frame sync polarity bit (FSP) in the CRB register can be set
o 1, which means the frame goes low and a conversion starts.
t
Likewise, by means of Bits SCD2, SCKD, and SHFD in the CRB
register, it is established that Pin SC2 (the frame sync signal)
and Pin SCK in the serial port are configured as outputs, and
the most significant bit (MSB) is shifted first. To summarize,
MOD = 0
N = 1
SY
WL2, WL1, WL0 depend on the word length
FSL1 = 0, FSL0 = 0
FSP = 1, negative frame sync
SCD2 = 1
SCKD = 1
SHFD = 0
For signal processing applications, it is imperative that the
rame synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provides
f
equidistant sampling.

APPLICATION HINTS
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7466/AD7467/
AD7468 should be designed such that the analog and digital
sections are separated and confined to certain areas. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be separated easily. A
minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes
because it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog ground
planes should be joined at only one place. If the devices are in a
system where multiple devices require an AGND to DGND
connection, the connection should still be made at one point
only, a star ground point, which should be established as close
as possible to the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these
co
uple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be
allowed to run under the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 to avoid
noise coupling. The power supply lines to the devices should
use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths
and to reduce the effects of glitches on the power-supply line.
Fast switching signals, like clocks, should be shielded with
digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the
board, and clock signals should never be run near the analog
inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on
opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each
other to reduce the effects of feedthrough on the board. A
microstrip technique is the best choice, but is not always
possible with a double-sided board. With this technique, the
component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes,
while signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is also very important. All analog supplies
s
hould be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 μF
capacitors to AGND. All digital supplies should have a 0.1 μF
ceramic disc capacitor to DGND. To achieve the best performance from these decoupling components, the user should keep
the distance between the decoupling capacitor and the V
GND pins to a minimum, with short track lengths connecting
the respective pins.

EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE AD7466 AND AD7467
The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and
tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for
controlling the board from the PC via an evaluation board
controller. To evaluate the ac and dc performance of the
AD7466 and AD7467, the evaluation board controller can be
used in conjunction with the AD7466/AD7467CB evaluation
board and other Analog Devices evaluation boards ending in
the CB designator.
The software allows the user to perform ac tests (fast Fourier
nsform) and dc tests (histogram of codes) on the AD7466
tra
and AD7467. See the data sheet in the evaluation board package
for more information.
