GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7612 is a 16-bit charge redistribution successive
approximation register (SAR), architecture analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) fabricated on Analog Devices, Inc.’s iCMOS
high voltage process. The device is configured through hardware or
via a dedicated write only serial configuration port for input
range and operating mode. The AD7612 contains a high speed
16-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock, an internal
reference (and buffer), error correction circuits, and both serial
and parallel system interface ports. A falling edge on
samples the analog input on IN+ with respect to a ground
sense, IN−. The AD7612 features four different analog input
ranges and three different sampling modes: warp mode for the
fastest throughput, normal mode for the fastest asynchronous
throughput, and impulse mode where power consumption is
scaled linearly with throughput. Operation is specified from
−40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Least Significant Bit (LSB)
The least significant bit, or LSB, is the smallest increment that
can be represented by a converter. For an analog-to-digital converter with N bits of resolution, the LSB expressed in volts is
V
INp-p
VLSB2)(=
N
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code
from a line drawn from negative full-scale through positive fullscale. The point used as negative full-scale occurs a ½ LSB before
the first code transition. Positive full-scale is defined as a level
1½ LSBs beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It
is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing
codes are guaranteed.
Bipolar Zero Error
The difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (0 V)
and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and
is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD and is expressed in bits by
ENOB = [(SINAD
− 1.76)/6.02]
dB
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance
measured from the falling edge of the
CNVST
input to when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Unipolar Offset Error
The first transition should occur at a level ½ LSB above analog
ground. The unipolar offset error is the deviation of the actual
transition from that point.
Full-Scale Error
The last transition (from 111…10 to 111…11) should occur for
an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full-scale. The fullscale error is the deviation in LSB (or % of full-scale range) of
the actual level of the last transition from the ideal level and
includes the effect of the offset error. Closely related is the gain
error (also in LSB or % of full-scale range), which does not
include the effects of the offset error.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full-scale to
the rms noise measured for an input typically at −60 dB. The
value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
Transi ent Res p ons e
The time required for the AD7612 to achieve its rated accuracy
after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.
Reference Voltage Temperature Coefficient

OVERVIEW
The AD7612 is a very fast, low power, precise, 16-bit analog-todigital converter (ADC) using successive approximation capacitive
digital-to-analog (CDAC) architecture.
The AD7612 can be configured at any time for one of four input
ranges and conversion mode with inputs in parallel and serial
hardware modes or by a dedicated write only, SPI-compatible
interface via a configuration register in serial software mode.
The AD7612 uses Analog Device’s patented iCMOS high voltage
process to accommodate 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V
input ranges without the use of conventional thin films. Only
one acquisition cycle, t
correct configuration. Resetting or power cycling is not
required for reconfiguring the ADC.
The AD7612 features different modes to optimize performance
according to the applications. It is capable of converting 750,000
samples per second (750 kSPS) in warp mode, 600 kSPS in normal
mode, and 500 kSPS in impulse mode.
The AD7612 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold,
successive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed channel
applications.
For unipolar input ranges, the AD7612 typically requires three
supplies; VCC, AVDD (which can supply DVDD), and OVDD
which can be interfaced to either 5 V, 3.3 V, or 2.5 V digital logic.
For bipolar input ranges, the AD7612 requires the use of the
additional VEE supply.

CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7612 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC.
schematic of the ADC. The CDAC consists of two identical
arrays of 16 binary weighted capacitors, which are connected
to the two comparator inputs.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to AGND via SW+ and SW−.
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and
acquire the analog signal on IN+ and IN− inputs. A conversion
phase is initiated once the acquisition phase is complete and the
CNVST
input goes low. When the conversion phase begins, SW+
and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor arrays are then
disconnected from the inputs and connected to the REFGND
input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the inputs
(IN+ and IN−) captured at the end of the acquisition phase is
applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to
become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor
array between REFGND and REF, the comparator input varies
by binary weighted voltage steps (V
65536). The control logic toggles these switches, starting with
the MSB first, in order to bring the comparator back into a
balanced condition.
After the completion of this process, the control logic generates
the ADC output code and brings the BUSY output low.

7 mm × 7 mm packages that combine space savings with flexibility. In addition, the AD7612 can be configured as either a
parallel or serial SPI-compatible interface.

AD7612
MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7612 features three modes of operation: warp, normal,
and impulse. Each of these modes is more suitable to specific
applications. The mode is configured with the input pins, WARP
and IMPULSE, or via the configuration register. See
the pin details and the
Hardware Configuration section and
Software Configuration section for programming the mode
selection with either pins or configuration register. Note that
when using the configuration register, the WARP and IMPULSE
inputs are don’t cares and should be tied to either high or low.
Warp Mode
Setting WARP = high and IMPULSE = low allow the fastest conversion rate up to 750 kSPS. However, in this mode, the full
specified accuracy is guaranteed only when the time between
conversions does not exceed 1 ms. If the time between two
consecutive conversions is longer than 1 ms (after power-up),
the first conversion result should be ignored since in warp mode,
the ADC performs a background calibration during the SAR
conversion process. This calibration can drift if the time between
conversions exceeds 1 ms thus causing the first conversion to
appear offset. This mode makes the AD7612 ideal for applications
where both high accuracy and fast sample rate are required. In
addition, the AD7612 can run up to 900 kSPS throughput with
some performance degradation, mainly dc linearity.
Normal Mode
Setting WARP = IMPULSE = low or WARP = IMPULSE = high
allows the fastest mode (600 kSPS) without any limitation on
time between conversions. This mode makes the AD7612 ideal
for asynchronous applications such as data acquisition systems,
where both high accuracy and fast sample rate are required.
Table 6 for
Impulse Mode
Setting WARP = low and IMPULSE = high uses the lowest power
dissipation mode and allows power saving between conversions.
The maximum throughput in this mode is 500 kSPS and in this
mode, the ADC powers down circuits after conversion making
the AD7612 ideal for battery-powered applications.
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS

In parallel mode and serial hardware mode, the input range is
selected by using the BIPOLAR (bipolar) and TEN (10 Volt range)
inputs. See Table 6 for pin details and the Hardware Configuration
section and Software Configuration section for programming
the mode selection with either pins or configuration register. Note
that when using the configuration register, the BIPOLAR and

Figure 28. AD7612 Simplified Analog Input
The four diodes, D1 to D4, provide ESD protection for the analog
inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog
input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 0.3 V,
because this causes the diodes to become forward-biased and to
start conducting current. These diodes can handle a forwardbiased current of 120 mA maximum. For instance, these conditions
could eventually occur when the input buffer’s U1 supplies are
different from AVDD, VCC, and VEE. In such a case, an input
buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used to protect
the part although most op amps’ short circuit current is <100 mA.
Note that D3 and D4 are only used in the 0 V to 5 V range to
allow for additional protection in applications that are switching

This analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential
signal between IN+ and IN−. By using this differential input,

are opened, the input impedance is limited to C

Since the input impedance of the AD7612 is very high, it can be
directly driven by a low impedance source without gain error. To
further improve the noise filtering achieved by the AD7612 analog
input circuit, an external, one-pole RC filter between the amplifier’s outputs and the ADC analog inputs can be used, as shown
in Figure 27. However, large source impedances significantly
affect the ac performance, especially total harmonic distortion
(THD). The maximum source impedance depends on the amount
of THD that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as a function
of the source impedance and the maximum input frequency.

AD8021 meets these requirements and is appropriate for
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
Although the AD7612 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier must
meet the following requirements:
•For multichannel, multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7612 analog input circuit must be
able to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor array at
a 16-bit level (0.0015%). For the amplifier, settling at 0.1%
to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This differs significantly from the settling time at a 16-bit level and should
be verified prior to driver selection. The
combines ultra-low noise and high gain bandwidth and
meets this settling time requirement even when used with
gains of up to 13.
•The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition
noise performance of the AD7612. The noise coming from
the driver is filtered by the external 1-pole low-pass filter
as shown in
Figure 27. The SNR degradation due to the

almost all applications. The
AD8021 needs a 10 pF external
compensation capacitor that should have good linearity as an
NPO ceramic or mica type. Moreover, the use of a noninverting
+1 gain arrangement is recommended and helps to obtain the
best signal-to-noise ratio.
The
AD8022 can also be used when a dual version is needed
and a gain of 1 is present. The
AD829 is an alternative in appli-
cations where high frequency (above 100 kHz) performance is not
required. In applications with a gain of 1, an 82 pF compensation
capacitor is required. The
AD8610 is an option when low bias
current is needed in low frequency applications.
Since the AD7612 uses a large geometry, high voltage input
switch, the best linearity performance is obtained when using
the amplifier at its maximum full power bandwidth. Gaining
the amplifier to make use of the more dynamic range of the
ADC results in increased linearity errors. For applications
requiring more resolution, the use of an additional amplifier
with gain should precede a unity follower driving the AD7612.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT/OUTPUT
The AD7612 allows the choice of either a very low temperature
drift internal voltage reference, an external reference or an external
buffered reference.
The internal reference of the AD7612 provides excellent performance and can be used in almost all applications. However, the
linearity performance is guaranteed only with an external reference.
To use the internal reference, the PDREF and PDBUF inputs
must be low. This enables the on-chip band gap reference, buffer,
and TEMP sensor resulting in a 5.00 V reference on the REF pin.
The internal reference is temperature-compensated to 5.000 V
±35 mV. The reference is trimmed to provide a typical drift of
3 ppm/°C. This typical drift characteristic is shown in
Figure 19.
External 2.5 V Reference and Internal Buffer (REF = 5 V)
(PDREF = High, PDBUF = Low)
To use an external reference with the internal buffer, PDREF
should be high and PDBUF should be low. This powers down
the internal reference and allows the 2.5 V reference to be applied
to REFBUFIN producing 5 V on the REF pin. The internal reference buffer is useful in multiconverter applications since a
buffer is typically required in these applications.
External 5 V Reference (PDREF = High, PDBUF = High)
To use an external reference directly on the REF pin, PDREF
and PDBUF should both be high. PDREF and PDBUF power
down the internal reference and the internal reference buffer,
respectively. For improved drift performance, an external reference such as the
ADR445 or ADR435 is recommended.
Reference Decoupling
Whether using an internal or external reference, the AD7612
voltage reference input (REF) has a dynamic input impedance;
therefore, it should be driven by a low impedance source with
efficient decoupling between the REF and REFGND inputs. This
decoupling depends on the choice of the voltage reference, but
usually consists of a low ESR capacitor connected to REF and
REFGND with minimum parasitic inductance. A 22 µF (X5R,
1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor (or 47 µF tantalum capacitor)
is appropriate when using either the internal reference or the
ADR445/ADR435 external reference.
The placement of the reference decoupling is also important to
the performance of the AD7612. The decoupling capacitor should
be mounted on the same side as the ADC right at the REF pin
with a thick PCB trace. The REFGND should also connect to
the reference decoupling capacitor with the shortest distance
and to the analog ground plane with several vias.
Temperature Sensor
The TEMP pin measures the temperature of the AD7612. To
improve the calibration accuracy over the temperature range, the
output of the TEMP pin is applied to one of the inputs of the
analog switch (such as
ADG779), and the ADC itself is used to
measure its own temperature. This configuration is shown
in
Figure 30.

POWER SUPPLIES
The AD7612 uses five sets of power supply pins:
• AVDD: analog 5 V core supply
• VCC: analog high voltage positive supply
• VEE: high voltage negative supply
• DVDD: digital 5 V core supply
• OVDD: digital input/output interface supply
Core Supplies
The AVDD and DVDD supply the AD7612 analog and digital
cores respectively. Sufficient decoupling of these supplies is
required consisting of at least a 10 F capacitor and 100 nF on
each supply. The 100 nF capacitors should be placed as close as
possible to the AD7612. To reduce the number of supplies needed,
the DVDD can be supplied through a simple RC filter from the
analog supply, as shown in
High Voltage Supplies
The high voltage bipolar supplies, VCC and VEE are required
and must be at least 2 V larger than the maximum input, V
For example, if using the bipolar 10 V range, the supplies should
be ±12 V minimum. Sufficient decoupling of these supplies is
also required consisting of at least a 10 F capacitor and 100 nF
on each supply. For unipolar operation, the VEE supply can be
grounded with some slight THD performance degradation.
Figure 27.
.
IN
For applications that use multiple AD7612 or other PulSAR
devices, it is more effective to use the internal reference buffer
to buffer the external 2.5 V reference voltage.
The voltage reference temperature coefficient (TC) directly impacts
full scale; therefore, in applications where full-scale accuracy
matters, care must be taken with the TC. For instance, a
±15 ppm/°C TC of the reference changes full-scale by ±1 LSB/°C.
Rev. 0 | Page 22 of 32
Digital Output Supply
The OVDD supplies the digital outputs and allows direct interface
with any logic working between 2.3 V and 5.25 V. OVDD should
be set to the same level as the system interface. Sufficient decoupling is required consisting of at least a 10 F capacitor and 100 nF
with the 100 nF placed as close as possible to the AD7612.

Power Dissipation vs. Throughput
In impulse mode, the AD7612 automatically reduces its power
consumption at the end of each conversion phase. During the
acquisition phase, the operating currents are very low, which allows
a significant power savings when the conversion rate is reduced
(see
Figure 32). This feature makes the AD7612 ideal for very
low power, battery-operated applications.
It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even
during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital supply
currents even further, drive the digital inputs close to the power
rails (that is, OVDD and OGND).

Power Down
Setting PD = high powers down the AD7612, thus reducing
supply currents to their minimums as shown in
Figure 23. When
the ADC is in power down, the current conversion (if any) is
completed and the digital bus remains active. To further reduce
the digital supply currents, drive the inputs to OVDD or OGND.
Power down can also be programmed with the configuration
register. See the
Software Configuration section for details. Note
that when using the configuration register, the PD input is a

INTERFACES
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7612 has a versatile digital interface that can be set up
as either a serial or a parallel interface with the host system. The
serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The AD7612
digital interface also accommodates 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic. In
most applications, the OVDD supply pin is connected to the host
system interface 2.5 V to 5.25 V digital supply. Finally, by using

8-Bit Interface (Master or Slave)
The BYTESWAP pin allows a glueless interface to an 8-bit bus.
As shown in Figure 38, when BYTESWAP is low, the LSB byte is
output on D[7:0] and the MSB is output on D[15:8]. When
BYTESWAP is high, the LSB and MSB bytes are swapped; the
LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output on D[7:0]. By
connecting BYTESWAP to an address line, the 16-bit data can
be read in two bytes on either D[15:8] or D[7:0]. This interface
can be used in both master and slave parallel reading modes.

Internal Clock (SER/
PAR
= high, EXT/
The AD7612 is configured to generate and provide the serial
INT
data clock, SDCLK, when the EXT/
pin is held low. The
AD7612 also generates a SYNC signal to indicate to the host
when the serial data is valid. The SDCLK, and the SYNC signals can be inverted, if desired using the INVSCLK and INVSYNC
inputs, respectively. Depending on the input, RDC, the data can
be read during the following conversion or after each conversion. Figure 39 and Figure 40 show detailed timing diagrams of
these two modes.
Read During Convert (RDC = High)
Setting RDC = high allows the master read (previous conversion
result) during conversion mode. Usually, because the AD7612 is
used with a fast throughput, this mode is the most recommended
serial mode. In this mode, the serial clock and data toggle at appropriate instances, minimizing potential feed through between digital
activity and critical conversion decisions. In this mode, the SDCLK
period changes since the LSBs require more time to settle and
the SDCLK is derived from the SAR conversion cycle. In this
mode, the AD7612 generates a discontinuous SDCLK of two
different periods and the host should use an SPI interface.
Data Interface
The AD7612 outputs 16 bits of data, MSB first, on the SDOUT
pin. This data is synchronized with the 16 clock pulses provided
on the SDCLK pin. The output data is valid on both the rising
and falling edge of the data clock.
Serial Configuration Interface
The AD7612 can be configured through the serial configuration
register only in serial mode as the serial configuration pins are
also multiplexed on the data pins D[15:12]. Refer to the Hardware
Configuration section and Software Configuration section for
more information.
Read During Convert (RDC = Low, DIVSCLK[1:0] = [0 to 3])
Setting RDC = low allows the read after conversion mode. Unlike
the other serial modes, the BUSY signal returns low after the 16
data bits are pulsed out and not at the end of the conversion phase,
resulting in a longer BUSY width (refer to Table 4 for BUSY timing
specifications). The DIVSCLK[1:0] inputs control the SDCLK
period and SDOUT data rate. As a result, the maximum throughput cannot be achieved in this mode. In this mode, the AD7612
also generates a discontinuous SDCLK however, a fixed period and
hosts supporting both SPI and serial ports can also be used.

SLAVE SERIAL INTERFACE
The pins multiplexed on D[11:4] used for slave serial

interface are: EXT/
SDCLK and RDERROR.
External Clock (SER/
Setting the EXT/
externally supplied serial data clock on the SDCLK pin. In this
mode, several methods can be used to read the data. The external serial clock is gated by
the data can be read after each conversion or during the following
conversion. A clock can be either normally high or normally low
when inactive. For detailed timing diagrams, see
Figure 43.
While the AD7612 is performing a bit decision, it is important
that voltage transients be avoided on digital input/output pins,
or degradation of the conversion result may occur. This is particularly important during the last 475 ns of the conversion phase
because the AD7612 provides error correction circuitry that can
correct for an improper bit decision made during the first part
of the conversion phase. For this reason, it is recommended that
any external clock provided, is a discontinuous clock that transitions only when BUSY is low, or, more importantly, that it does not
transition during the last 475 ns of BUSY high.
External Discontinuous Clock Data Read After
Conversion
Though the maximum throughput cannot be achieved using
this mode, it is the most recommended of the serial slave modes.
Figure 42 shows the detailed timing diagrams for this method.
After a conversion is complete, indicated by BUSY returning low,
the conversion result can be read while both
Data is shifted out MSB first with 16 clock pulses and, depending
on the SDCLK frequency, can be valid on the falling and rising
edges of the clock.
One advantage of this method is that conversion performance is
not degraded because there are no voltage transients on the digital
interface during the conversion process. Another advantage is
the ability to read the data at any speed up to 40 MHz, which
accommodates both the slow digital host interface and the fastest
serial reading.
Daisy-Chain Feature
Also in the read after convert mode, the AD7612 provides a daisychain feature for cascading multiple converters together using
the serial data input, SDIN, pin. This feature is useful for reduceing component count and wiring connections when desired, for
instance, in isolated multiconverter applications. See
for the timing details.
An example of the concatenation of two devices is shown in
Figure 41. Simultaneous sampling is possible by using a common

During a conversion, while both
and RD are low, the result
of the previous conversion can be read. Data is shifted out MSB
first with 16 clock pulses and, depending on the SDCLK frequency,
can be valid on the falling and rising edges of the clock. The
16 bits have to be read before the current conversion is complete;
otherwise, RDERROR is pulsed high and can be used to interrupt
the host interface to prevent incomplete data reading.
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast
discontinuous clock of at least 40 MHz is recommended to ensure
that all the bits are read during the first half of the SAR
conversion phase.
The daisy-chain feature should not be used in this mode since
digital activity occurs during the second half of the SAR
conversion phase likely resulting in performance degradation.

AD7612
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The AD7612 can be configured at any time with the dedicated
for mode selection and input range configuration can be done
before or during conversion. Like the RESET input, the ADC
requires at least one acquisition time to settle as indicated in
Figure 44. See Table 6 for pin descriptions. Note that these inputs
are high impedance when using the software configuration mode.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
The pins multiplexed on D[15:12] used for software configura-
SW
tion are: HW/
, SCIN, SCCLK, and
programmed using the dedicated write-only serial configurable
port (SCP) for conversion mode, input range selection, output
coding, and power-down using the serial configuration register.
See
Table 9 for details of each bit in the configuration register.
The SCP can only be used in serial software mode selected with
PA R
SER/
= high and HW/SW = low since the port is multiplexed
on the parallel interface.
The SCP is accessed by asserting the port’s chip select,
and then writing SCIN synchronized with SCCLK, which (like
SDCLK) is edge sensitive depending on the state of INVSCLK.
Figure 45 for timing details. SCIN is clocked into the con-
See
figuration register MSB first. The configuration register is an
internal shift register that begins with Bit 8, the start bit. The 9
SPPCLK edge updates the register and allows the new settings to be
used. As indicated in the timing diagram, at least one acquisition
th
time is required from the 9
SCCLK edge. Bits [1:0] are reserved
bits and are not written to while the SCP is being updated.
The SCP can be written to at any time, up to 40 MHz, and it is
recommended to write to while the AD7612 is not busy converting, as detailed in
Figure 45. In this mode, the full 750 kSPS is not
attainable because the time required for SCP access is (t
SCCLK +t
) minimum. If the full throughput is required, the
8
SCP can be written to during conversion, however it is not
SCCS
. The AD7612 is
SCCS
+ 8 × 1/

,
th
recommended to write to the SCP during the last 475 ns of conversion (BUSY = high) or performance degradation can result.
In addition, the SCP can be accessed in both serial master and
serial slave read during and read after convert modes.
Note that at power up, the configuration register is undefined.
The RESET input clears the configuration register (sets all bits
to 0), thus placing the configuration to 0 V to 5 V input, normal
mode, and twos complemented output.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7612 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor, and ac signal processing
applications interfacing to a digital signal processor. The AD7612
is designed to interface with a parallel 8-bit or 16-bit wide
interface, or with a general-purpose serial port or I/O ports on a
microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can be used with
the AD7612 to prevent digital noise from coupling into the ADC.
SPI Interface
The AD7612 is compatible with SPI and QSPI digital hosts and
DSPs such as Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x and ADSP-218x/ADSP-219x.
Figure 46 shows an interface diagram between the AD7612 and
the SPI-equipped ADSP-219x. To accommodate the slower speed
of the DSP, the AD7612 acts as a slave device, and data must be
read after conversion. This mode also allows the daisy-chain
feature. The convert command could be initiated in response to
an internal timer interrupt.
The reading process can be initiated in response to the end-ofconversion signal (BUSY going low) using an interrupt line of

the DSP. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) on the ADSP-219x
is configured for master mode (MSTR) = 1, clock polarity bit
(CPOL) = 0, clock phase bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI interrupt enable
(TIMOD) = 0 by writing to the SPI control register (SPICLTx).
It should be noted that to meet all timing requirements, the SPI
clock should be limited to 17 Mbps allowing it to read an ADC
result in less than 1 μs. When a higher sampling rate is desired,
use one of the parallel interface modes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
While the AD7612 has very good immunity to noise on the
power supplies, exercise care with the grounding layout. To facilitate the use of ground planes that can be easily separated, design
the printed circuit board that houses the AD7612 so that the
analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain
areas of the board. Digital and analog ground planes should be
joined in only one place, preferably underneath the AD7612, or
as close as possible to the AD7612. If the AD7612 is in a system
where multiple devices require analog-to-digital ground connections, the connections should still be made at one point only, a
star ground point, established as close as possible to the AD7612.
To prevent coupling noise onto the die, avoid radiating noise,
and to reduce feedthrough:
•
Do not run digital lines under the device. Do run the analog ground plane under the AD7612.
•
•
Do shield fast switching signals, like
digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of
the board, and never run them near analog signal paths.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
•
•
Run traces on different but close layers of the board, at right
angles to each other, to reduce the effect of feedthrough through
the board.
The power supply lines to the AD7612 should use as large a trace
as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect
of glitches on the power supply lines. Good decoupling is also
important to lower the impedance of the supplies presented to
the AD7612, and to reduce the magnitude of the supply spikes.
Decoupled ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should be placed
on each of the power supplies pins, AVDD, DVDD, and OVDD,
VCC, and VEE. The capacitors should be placed close to, and
ideally right up against, these pins and their corresponding ground
pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 µF capacitors should be located
in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce low frequency ripple.
CNVST
or clocks, with
The DVDD supply of the AD7612 can be either a separate supply
or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the digital interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply is noisy, or
fast switching digital signals are present, and no separate supply is
available, it is recommended to connect the DVDD digital supply
to the analog supply AVDD through an RC filter, and to connect
the system supply to the interface digital supply OVDD and the
remaining digital circuitry. See
configuration. When DVDD is powered from the system supply,
it is useful to insert a bead to further reduce high frequency spikes.
The AD7612 has four different ground pins: REFGND, AGND,
DGND, and OGND.
REFGND senses the reference voltage and, because it carries
•
pulsed currents, should be a low impedance return to the
reference.
AGND is the ground to which most internal ADC analog
•
signals are referenced; it must be connected with the least
resistance to the analog ground plane.
DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane
•
depending on the configuration.
•
OGND is connected to the digital system ground.
The layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is important.
To minimize parasitic inductances, place the decoupling capacitor
close to the ADC and connect it with short, thick traces.
