GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7470/AD7472 are 10-bit/12-bit high speed, low power,
successive approximation ADCs. The parts operate from a single

2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and feature throughput rates up to

1.5 MSPS for the 12-bit AD7472 and up to 1.75 MSPS for the
10-bit AD7470. The parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth
track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input frequencies in
excess of 1 MHz.

The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using standard control inputs, allowing easy interfacing to
microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the
falling edge of CONVST, and conversion is also initiated at
this point. BUSY goes high at the start of conversion and
goes low 531.66 ns after falling edge of CONVST (AD7472
with a clock frequency of 26 MHz) to indicate that the con­version is complete. There are no pipeline delays associated
with the parts. The conversion result is accessed via standard
CS and RD signals over a high speed parallel interface.

The AD7470/AD7472 use advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput rates. With
3 V supplies and 1.5 MSPS throughput rates, the AD7470
typically consumes, on average, just 1.1 mA. With 5 V supplies
and 1.75 MSPS, the average current consumption is typically

1.6 mA. The part also offers flexible power/throughput rate
management. Operating the AD7470 with 3 V supplies and
500 kSPS throughput reduces the current consumption to 713 µA.
At 5 V supplies and 500 kSPS, the part consumes 944 µA.

It is also possible to operate the parts in an auto sleep mode,
where the part wakes up to do a conversion and automatically
enters sleep mode at the end of conversion. This method allows
very low power dissipation numbers at lower throughput rates.
In this mode, the AD7472 can be operated with 3 V supplies at
100 kSPS, and consume an average current of just 124 µA. At
5 V supplies and 100 kSPS, the average current consumption is
171 µA.

The analog input range for the part is 0 V to REF IN. The 2.5 V
reference is applied externally to the REF IN pin. The conver­sion rate is determined by the externally-applied clock.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. High Throughput with Low Power Consumption. The
AD7470 offers 1.75 MSPS throughput and the AD7472
offers 1.5 MSPS throughput rates with 4 mW power
consumption.

2. Flexible Power/Throughput Rate Management. The conver­sion rate is determined by an externally-applied clock allow­ing the power to be reduced as the conversion rate is reduced.
The part also features an auto sleep mode to maximize power
efficiency at lower throughput rates.

3. No Pipeline Delay. The part features a standard successive
approximation ADC with accurate control of the sampling
instant via a CONVST input and once off conversion control.

Measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.8 V or 2.0 V.

4

t7 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated

back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

Mnemonic Function

CS Chip Select. Active low logic input used in conjunction with RD to access the conversion result. The conversion

result is placed on the data bus following the falling edge of both CS and RD. CS and RD are both connected to
the same AND gate on the input so the signals are interchangeable. CS can be hardwired permanently low.

RD Read Input. Logic input used in conjunction with CS to access the conversion result. The conversion result is

placed on the data bus following the falling edge of both CS and RD. CS and RD are both connected to same
AND gate on the input so the signals are interchangeable. CS and RD can be hardwired permanently low, in
which case the data bus is always active and the result of the new conversion is clocked out slightly before to the
BUSY line going low.

CONVST Conversion Start Input. Logic input used to initiate conversion. The input track-and-hold amplifier goes from

track mode to hold mode on the falling edge of CONVST, and the conversion process is initiated at this point.
The conversion input can be as narrow as 10 ns. If the CONVST input is kept low for the duration of conversion
and is still low at the end of conversion, the part will automatically enter sleep mode. If the part enters this sleep
mode, the next rising edge of CONVST wakes up the part. Wake-up time for the part is typically 1 µs.

CLK IN Master Clock Input. The clock source for the conversion process is applied to this pin. Conversion time for the

AD7472 takes 14 clock cycles, and conversion time for the AD7470 takes 12 clock cycles. The frequency of this
master clock input, therefore, determines the conversion time and achievable throughput rate. While the ADC is
not converting, the clock-in pad is in three-state and thus no clock is going through the part.

BUSY BUSY Output. Logic output indicating the status of the conversion process. The BUSY signal goes high after the

falling edge of CONVST and stays high for the duration of conversion. Once conversion is complete and the con­version result is in the output register, the BUSY line returns low. The track-and-hold returns to track mode just
prior to the falling edge of BUSY, and the acquisition time for the part begins when BUSY goes low. If the CONVST
input is still low when BUSY goes low, the part automatically enters its sleep mode on the falling edge of BUSY.

REF IN Reference Input. An external reference must be applied to this input. The voltage range for the external reference

is 2.5 V ±1% for specified performance.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity

This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The end­points of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1/2 LSB
below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1/2 LSB
above the last code transition.

Differential Nonlinearity

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

Offset Error

This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to
(00 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., AGND + 0.5 LSB.

Gain Error

The last transition should occur at the analog value 1.5 LSB
below the nominal full scale. The first transition is a 0.5 LSB
above the low end of the scale (zero in the case of AD7470/
AD7472). The gain error is the deviation of the actual difference
between the first and last code transitions from the ideal differ­ence between the first and last code transitions with offset errors
removed.

Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time

The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track mode after the
end of conversion. Track-and-Hold acquisition time is the time
required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach
its final value, within ±1 LSB, after the end of conversion.

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

/2), excluding dc. The

S

ratio is dependent on 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) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB

Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB and for a 10-bit con­verter is 62 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of har­monics to the fundamental. For the AD7470/AD7472 it is
defined as

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 ADCs
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 distortion terms are
those for which neither m nor n is 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 AD7470/AD7472 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-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 of the fundamentals expressed in dBs.

Aperture Delay

In a sample-and-hold, the time required after the hold command
for the switch to open fully is the aperture delay. The sample is,
in effect, delayed by this interval, and the hold command would
have to be advanced by this amount for precise timing.

Aperture Jitter

Aperture jitter is the range of variation in the aperture delay.
In other words, it is the uncertainty about when the sample is
taken. Jitter is the result of noise which modulates the phase
of the hold command. This specification establishes the ulti­mate timing error, hence the maximum sampling frequency
for a given resolution. This error will increase as the input
dV/dt increases.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
CONVERTER OPERATION

The AD7470/AD7472 are 10-bit/12-bit successive approxima­tion analog-to-digital converters based around a capacitive
DAC. The AD7470/AD7472 can convert analog input signals in
the range 0 V to V

. Figure 2 shows a very simplified sche-

REF

matic of the ADC. The control logic, SAR, and the capacitive
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge
from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a
balanced condition.

Figure 4 shows the ADC during conversion. When conversion
starts, SW2 will open and SW1 will move to position B, causing
the comparator to become unbalanced. The ADC then runs
through its successive approximation routine and brings the
comparator back into a balanced condition. When the compara­tor is rebalanced, the conversion result is available in the SAR
register.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Figure 5 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7470/
AD7472. Conversion is initiated by a falling edge on CONVST.
Once CONVST goes low, the BUSY signal goes high, and at
the end of conversion, the falling edge of BUSY is used to acti­vate an interrupt service routine. The CS and RD lines are then
activated in parallel to read the 10- or 12-data bits. The recom­mended REF IN voltage is 2.5 V providing an analog input
range of 0 V to 2.5 V, making the AD7470/AD7472 a unipolar
ADC. It is recommended to perform a dummy conversion after
power-up as the first conversion result could be incorrect. This
also ensures that the part is in the correct mode of operation.
The CONVST pin should not be floating when power is applied
as a rising edge on CONVST might not wake up the part.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION

The output coding of the AD7470/AD7472 is straight binary.
The designed code transitions occur midway between succes­sive integer LSB values (0.5 LSB, 1.5 LSB, etc). The LSB
size is equal to (REF IN)/4096 for the AD7472 and to (REF
IN)/1024 for the AD7470. The ideal transfer characteristic for
the AD7472 is shown in Figure 6.

AC ACQUISITION TIME

In ac applications it is recommended to always buffer analog
input signals. The source impedance of the drive circuitry must
be kept as low as possible to minimize the acquisition time of
the ADC. Large values of impedance at the V

pin of the ADC

IN

will cause the THD to degrade at high input frequencies.

The AD8021, AD8047, AD8051, AD9631, and AD797 are
some of the op amps that could be used to buffer the analog
input. Figure 7 shows the AD7470/AD7472 performance for
some of those recommended input buffers.

DC ACQUISITION TIME

The ADC starts a new acquisition phase at the end of a conver­sion and ends it on the falling edge of the CONVST signal. At
the end of conversion there is a settling time associated with the
sampling circuit. This settling time lasts approximately 135 ns.
The analog signal on V

is also being acquired during this

IN

settling time; therefore, the minimum acquisition time needed is
approximately 135 ns.

Figure 8 shows the equivalent charging circuit for the sampling
capacitor when the ADC is in its acquisition phase. R3 repre­sents the source impedance of a buffer amplifier or resistive
network, R1 is an internal switch resistance, R2 is for bandwidth
control, and C1 is the sampling capacitor. C2 is back-plate
capacitance and switch parasitic capacitance.

During the acquisition phase the sampling capacitor must be
charged to within ±1 LSB of its final value.

capacitance. The resistor R1 is an internal switch resistance.
This resistor is typically about 125 Ω. The capacitor C1 is the

CLOCK SOURCES

The max CLK specification for the AD7470 is 30 MHz, and for
the AD7472, it is 26 MHz. These frequencies are not standard
off-the-shelf oscillator frequencies. Many manufacturers pro­duce oscillator modules close to these frequencies; a typical one
being 25.175 MHz from IQD Limited. AEL Crystals Limited
produces a 25 MHz oscillator module in various packages. Crys­tal oscillator manufacturers will produce 26 MHz and 30 MHz
oscillators to order. Of course any clock source can be used, not
just crystal oscillators.

PARALLEL INTERFACE

The parallel interfaces of the AD7470 and AD7472 are 10 bits
and 12 bits wide, respectively. The output data buffers are acti­vated when both CS and RD are logic low. At this point, the con­tents of the data register are placed onto the data bus. Figure 10
shows the timing diagram for the parallel port.

AD7470/AD7472

OPERATING MODES

The AD7470 and AD7472 have two possible modes of opera­tion, depending on the state of the CONVST pulse at the end of
a conversion, Mode 1 and Mode 2. There is a continuous clock
on the CLKIN pin.

Mode 1 (High Speed Sampling)

In this mode of operation, the CONVST pulse is brought high
before the end of conversion i.e., before BUSY goes low (see
Figure 10). If the CONVST pin is brought from high to low
while BUSY is high, the conversion is restarted. When operat­ing in this mode, a new conversion should not be initiated until
the acquisition time has elapsed after BUSY goes low. This
acquisition time allows the track-and-hold circuit to accurately
acquire the input signal. As mentioned earlier, a read should
not be done during a conversion. This mode facilitates the
fastest throughput times for the AD7470/AD7472.

Mode 2 (Sleep Mode)

Figure 13 shows AD7470/AD7472 in Mode 2 operation where
the ADC goes into sleep mode after conversion. The CONVST
line is brought low to initiate a conversion and remains low until
after the end of conversion. If CONVST goes high and low
again while BUSY is high, the conversion is restarted. Once the
BUSY line goes from a high to a low, the CONVST line has its
status checked and, if low, the part enters sleep mode.

The device wakes up again on the rising edge of the CONVST
signal. There is a wake-up time of typically 1 µs after the rising
edge of CONVST before the BUSY line can go high to indicate
start of conversion. BUSY will only go high once CONVST goes
low. The CONVST line can go from a high to a low during this
wake-up time, but the conversion will still not be initiated until
after the 1 µs wake-up time. Superior power performance can be
achieved in this mode of operation by waking up the AD7470
and AD7472 only to carry out a conversion.

Burst Mode

Burst mode on the AD7470/AD7472 is a subsection of Mode 1
and Mode 2; the clock is noncontinuous. Figure 12 shows how
the ADC works in burst mode for Mode 2. The clock needs to
be switched on only during conversion, a minimum of 12 clock
cycles for the AD7470 and 14 clock cycles for the AD7472.
Because the clock is off during nonconverting intervals, system
power is saved. The BUSY signal can be used to gate the CLKIN
pulses. The ADC does not begin the conversion process until

the first CLKIN rising edge after BUSY goes high. The clock
needs to start less than two clock cycles away from the
CONVST active edge, otherwise INL deteriorates. For
example, if the clock frequency is 28 MHz, the clock must start
within 71.4 ns of CONVST going low. In Figure 12, the A/D
converter section is put into sleep mode once conversion is
completed. On the rising edge of CONVST, it is woken up
again. The user must be wary of the wake-up time because it
will reduce the sampling rate of the ADC.

POWER-UP

It is recommended that the user perform a dummy conversion
after power-up, because the first conversion result could be
incorrect. This also ensures that the part is in the correct mode
of operation. The recommended power-up sequence is as

Power vs. Throughput

The two modes of operation for the AD7470 and AD7472 will
produce different power versus throughput performances,
Mode 1 and Mode 2; see Operating Modes section of the data
sheet for more detailed descriptions of these modes. Mode 2 is
the sleep mode of the part and it achieves the optimum power
performance.

Mode 1

Figure 14 shows the AD7472 conversion sequence in Mode 1
using a throughput rate of 500 kSPS and a clock frequency of
26 MHz. At 5 V supply, the current consumption for the part
when converting is typically 2 mA, and the quiescent current is
typically 650 µA. The conversion time of 531.66 ns contributes

2.658 mW to the overall power dissipation in the following way:

(531.66 ns/2 µs) × (5 × 2 mA) = 2.658 mW

The contribution to the total power dissipated by the remaining

1.468 µs of the cycle is 2.38 mW.

(1.468 µs/2 µs) × (5 × 650 µA) = 2.38 mW

Thus the power dissipated during each cycle is

2.658 mW + 2.38 mW = 5.038 mW

GROUNDING AND LAYOUT

The analog and digital power supplies are independent and
separately pinned out to minimize coupling between the analog
and digital sections within the device. To complement the excel­lent noise performance of the AD7470/AD7472, it is imperative
that care be given to the PCB layout. Figure 16 shows a recom­mended connection diagram for the AD7470/AD7472.

All of the AD7470/AD7472 ground pins should be soldered
directly to a ground plane to minimize series inductance. The
AV

, DVDD, and V

DD

pins should be decoupled to both the

DRIVE

analog and digital ground planes. The large value capacitors will
decouple low frequency noise to analog ground; the small value
capacitors will decouple high frequency noise to digital ground.
All digital circuitry power pins should be decoupled to the
digital ground plane. The use of ground planes can physically
separate sensitive analog components from the noisy digital
system. The two ground planes should be joined in only one
place and should not overlap so as to minimize capacitive
coupling between them. If the AD7470/AD7472 is in a
system where multiple devices require AGND to DGND
connections, the connection should still be made at one point
only, a star ground point, which should be established as close
as possible to the AD7470/AD7472.

Noise can be minimized by applying some simple rules to the
PCB layout: analog signals should be kept away from digital
signals; 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 running digital lines under the device as these will
couple noise onto the die; the power supply lines to the AD7470/
AD7472 should use as large a trace as possible to provide a low
impedance path and reduce the effects of glitches on the power
supply line; avoid crossover of digital and analog signals and
place traces that are on opposite sides of the board at right angles
to each other.

Noise to the analog power line can be further reduced by use of
multiple decoupling capacitors as shown in Figure 16. Decou­pling capacitors should be placed directly at the power inlet to
the PCB and also as close as possible to the power pins of the
AD7470/AD7472. The same decoupling method should be
used on other ICs on the PCB, with the capacitor leads as short
as possible to minimize lead inductance.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
AD7470/AD7472 to ADSP-2185 Interface

Figure 17 shows a typical interface between the AD7470/AD7472
and the ADSP-2185. The ADSP-2185 processor can be used in
one of two memory modes, full memory mode and host mode.
The Mode C pin determines in which mode the processor works.
The interface in Figure 17 is set up to have the processor work­ing in full memory mode, which allows full external addressing
capabilities.

When the AD7470/AD7472 has finished converting, the BUSY
line requests an interrupt through the IRQ2 pin. The IRQ2
interrupt has to be set up in the interrupt control register as
edge-sensitive. The DMS (data memory select) pin latches in
the address of the ADC into the address decoder. The read
operation is thus started.

AD7470/AD7472 to TMS320C25 Interface

Figure 19 shows an interface between the AD7470/AD7472
and the TMS320C25. The CONVST signal can be applied
from the TMS320C25 or from an external source. The BUSY
line interrupts the digital signal processor when conversion is
completed. The TMS320C25 does not have a separate RD
output to drive the AD7470/AD7472 RD input directly. This
has to be generated from the processor STRB and R/W outputs
with the addition of some glue logic. The RD signal is OR-gated
with the MSC signal to provide the WAIT state required in the
read cycle for correct interface timing. The following instruction
is used to read the conversion from the AD7470/AD7472:

IN D,ADC

where D is data memory address and ADC is the AD7470/
AD7472 address. The read operation must not be attempted
during conversion.

Figure 20 shows a typical parallel interface between the AD7470/
AD7472 and the PIC17C42/43/44. The microcontroller sees
the ADC as another memory device with its own specific
memory address on the memory map. The CONVST signal can
be controlled by either the microcontroller or an external
source. The BUSY signal provides an interrupt request to the
microcontroller when a conversion ends. The INT pin on the
PIC17C42/43/44 must be configured to be active on the nega­tive edge. PORTC and PORTD of the microcontroller are
bidirectional and used to address the AD7470/AD7472 and also
to read in the 10-bit (AD7470) or 12-bit (AD7472) data. The
OE pin on the PIC can be used to enable the output buffers on
the AD7470/AD7472 and to perform a read operation.

AD7470/AD7472 to 80C186 Interface

Figure 21 shows the AD7470/AD7472 interfaced to the 80C186
microprocessor. The 80C186 DMA controller provides two
independent high speed DMA channels where data transfer
can occur between memory and I/O spaces. (The AD7470/
AD7472 occupies one of these I/O spaces.) Each data trans­fer consumes two bus cycles, one cycle to fetch data and the
other to store data.

After the AD7470/AD7472 has finished conversion, the BUSY
line generates a DMA request to Channel 1 (DRQ1). As a result
of the interrupt, the processor performs a DMA READ opera­tion which also resets the interrupt latch. Sufficient priority
must be assigned to the DMA channel to ensure that the DMA
request will be serviced before the completion of the next con­version. This configuration can be used with 6 MHz and 8 MHz
80C186 processors.
