GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-11 are reduced decoupling pinand software-compatible versions of AD7656/AD7657/AD7658.
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 devices contain six 16-/
14-/12-bit, fast, low power successive approximation ADCs in
a package designed on the iCMOS® process (industrial CMOS).
iCMOS is a process combining high voltage silicon with submicron
CMOS and complementary bipolar technologies. It enables the
development of a wide range of high performance analog ICs
capable of 33 V operation in a footprint that no previous generation
of high voltage parts could achieve. Unlike analog ICs using conventional CMOS processes, iCMOS components can accept bipolar
input signals while providing increased performance, which
dramatically reduces power consumption and package size.
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 feature throughput rates
of up to 250 kSPS. The parts contain low noise, wide bandwidth
track-and-hold amplifiers that can handle input frequencies
up to 4.5 MHz.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other
rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No
license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
Trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using the CONVST signals and an internal oscillator. Three
CONVST pins (CONVST A, CONVST B, and CONVST C)
allow independent, simultaneous sampling of the three ADC
pairs. The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 have a high speed
parallel and serial interface, allowing the devices to interface with
microprocessors or DSPs. When the serial interface is selected,
each part has a daisy-chain feature that allows multiple ADCs to
connect to a single serial interface. The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 can accommodate true bipolar input signals in the
±4 × V
and ±2 × V
REF
ranges. Each AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
REF
AD7658-1 also contains an on-chip 2.5 V reference.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Six 16-/14-/12-bit, 250 kSPS ADCs on board.
2. Six true bipolar, high impedance analog inputs.
3. High speed parallel and serial interfaces.
4. Reduced decoupling requirements and reduced bill of
materials cost compared with the AD7656/AD7657/
AD7658 devices.

AGND
Analog Ground. This pin is the ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1. All analog input signals and external reference signals should be referred to
this pin. All AGND pins should be connected to the AGND plane of the system. The AGND and
DGND voltages should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even
on a transient basis.
26 DVCC
Digital Power, 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The DV
and AVCC voltages should ideally be at the same potential
CC
and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. This supply should be decoupled
to DGND by placing a 1 μF decoupling capacitor on the DVCC pin.

DRIVE
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines the operating voltage of the
interface. This pin is nominally at the same supply as the supply of the host interface.

Digital Ground. This is the ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1. Both DGND pins should connect to the DGND plane of a system. The DGND and AGND

Conversion Start Input A, Conversion Start Input B, and Conversion Start Input C. These logic inputs
are used to initiate conversions on the ADC pairs. CONVST A is used to initiate simultaneous conversions
on V1 and V2. CONVST B is used to initiate simultaneous conversions on V3 and V4. CONVST C is
used to initiate simultaneous conversions on V5 and V6. When one of these pins switches from low
to high, the track-and-hold switch on the selected ADC pair switches from track to hold, and the
conversion is initiated. These inputs can also be used to place the ADC pairs into partial powerdown mode.

Internal/External Reference section. When the internal reference is enabled, this pin should be
decoupled using at least a 1 μF decoupling capacitor.
SER/PA R

DB[13:11] should be tied to DGND.
Data Bit 0/Select DOUT A. When SER/PAR
pin. When SER/PAR
SEL = 1, this pin functions as SEL A and is used to configure the serial interface. If
SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output

DOUT A as a serial output. When the serial interface is selected, this pin should always be set to 1.
Data Bit 1/Select DOUT B. When SER/PAR
pin. When SER/PA R
SEL = 1, this pin functions as SEL B and is used to configure the serial interface. If
SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output
this pin is 1, the serial interface operates with two or three DOUT output pins and enables DOUT B
as a serial output. If this pin is 0, the DOUT B is not enabled to operate as a serial data output pin
and only one DOUT output pin, DOUT A, is used. Unused serial DOUT pins should be left unconnected.
Data Bit 2/Select DOUT C. When SER/PAR
pin. When SER/PA R
SEL = 1, this pin functions as SEL C and is used to configure the serial interface. If
SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output

SEL is low, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital
interface is selected but the device is not used in daisy-chain mode, this pin should be tied to DGND.
Data Bit 6/Serial Clock. When SER/PA R
SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output pin.
When SER/PA R SEL = 1, this pin functions as SCLK input and is the read serial clock for the serial transfer.
Data Bit 7/High Byte Enable/Daisy-Chain Enable. When the parallel interface is selected and the device is
used in word mode (SER/PAR SEL = 0 and W/B = 0), this pin functions as Data Bit 7. When the parallel
interface is selected and the device is used in byte mode (SER/PA R
SEL = 0 and W/B = 1), this pin
functions as HBEN. If the HBEN pin is logic high, the data is output MSB byte first on DB[15:8]. If the
HBEN pin is logic low, the data is output LSB byte first on DB[15:8]. When the serial interface is
selected (SER/PA R
SEL = 1), this pin functions as DCEN. If the DCEN pin is logic high, the parts
operate in daisy-chain mode with DB[5:3] functioning as DCIN[A:C]. When the serial interface is
selected but the device is not used in daisy-chain mode, this pin should be tied to DGND.

SER/PA R
SEL = 1, this pin can be used to enable or disable the internal reference buffers.
28 RESET
Reset Input. When set to logic high, this pin resets the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1. In software
mode, the current conversion is aborted and the internal register is set to all 0s. In hardware mode, the
AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 are configured depending on the logic levels on the hardware select
pins. In all modes, the parts should receive a RESET pulse after power-up. The RESET high pulse should
be typically 100 ns wide. After the RESET pulse, the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 need to see a valid
CONVST pulse to initiate a conversion; this should consist of a high-to-low CONVST edge followed by a
low-to-high CONVST edge. The CONVST signal should be high during the RESET pulse. In hardware
mode, the user can initiate a RESET pulse between conversion cycles, that is, a 100 ns RESET pulse can
be applied to the device after BUSY has transitioned from high to low and the data has been read. The
RESET can then be used prior to the next CONVST pulse. Ensure that in such a case RESET is logic low
prior to the next CONVST pulse.
27 RANGE
Analog Input Range Selection. Logic input. The logic level on this pin determines the input range of
the analog input channels. When this pin is Logic 1 at the falling edge of BUSY, the range for the
next conversion is ±2 × V
next conversion is ±4 × V
. When this pin is Logic 0 at the falling edge of BUSY, the range for the
REF
. In hardware select mode, the RANGE pin is checked on the falling edge
REF
of BUSY. In software mode (H/S SEL = 1), the RANGE pin can be tied to DGND, and the input range is
determined by the RNGA, RNGB, and RNGC bits in the control register.
31 VDD Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section.
30 VSS Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.
24
STBY
Standby Mode Input. This pin is used to put all six on-chip ADCs into standby mode. The STBY pin is
high for normal operation and low for standby operation.
62
/S SEL Hardware/Software Select Input. Logic input. When H/S SEL = 0, the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1
H
operate in hardware select mode, and the ADC pairs to be simultaneously sampled are selected
by the CONVST pins. When H/S SEL = 1, the ADC pairs to be sampled simultaneously are selected by
writing to the control register. When the serial interface is selected, CONVST A is used to initiate
conversions on the selected ADC pairs.
29
/B Word/Byte Input. When this pin is logic low, data can be transferred to and from the AD7656-1/
W
AD7657-1/AD7658-1 using the parallel data lines DB[15:0]. When this pin is logic high and the parallel
interface is selected, byte mode is enabled. In this mode, data is transferred using Data Lines DB[15:8],
and DB[7] function as HBEN. To obtain the 16-bit conversion result, 2-byte reads are required. When
the serial interface is selected, this pin should be tied to DGND.
SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
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 at a ½ LSB below the first code
transition and full scale at ½ LSB above the last code transition.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Bipolar Zero Scale Error
The deviation of the midscale transition (all 1s to all 0s) from
the ideal V
voltage, that is, AGND − 1 LSB.
IN
Bipolar Zero Scale Error Matching
The difference in bipolar zero code error between any two input
channels.
Positive Full-Scale Error
The deviation of the last code transition (011 … 110 to 011 … 111)
from the ideal (+4 × V
− 1 LSB, +2 × V
REF
− 1 LSB) after
REF
adjusting for the bipolar zero scale error.
Positive Full-Scale Error Matching
The difference in positive full-scale error between any two input
channels.
Negative Full-Scale Error
The deviation of the first code transition (10 … 000 to 10 … 001)
from the ideal (−4 × V
+ 1 LSB, −2 × V
REF
+ 1 LSB) after
REF
adjusting for the bipolar zero scale error.
Negative Full-Scale Error Matching
The difference in negative full-scale error between any two
input channels.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end
of the conversion. The 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 the conversion.
See the Track-and-Hold section for more details.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
The measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) (SINAD) at
the output of the ADC. 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).
SAMPLE
The ratio depends on the number of quantization levels in the
digitization process: the more levels, the smaller the quantization
noise. The theoretical SINAD ratio for an ideal N-bit converter
with a sine wave input is given by
SINAD = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Therefore, SINAD is 98 dB for a 16-bit converter, 86.04 dB for a
14-bit converter, and 74 dB for a 12-bit converter.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of the harmonics to the fundamental.

SAMPLE
value of the 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 is
determined by a noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities create distortion
products at the sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb,
where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3. Intermodulation distortion terms are
those for which neither m nor n are equal to 0. For example, the
second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), and the
third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and
(fa − 2fb).
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 are tested using the CCIF
standard in which two input frequencies near the maximum
input bandwidth are used. In this case, the second-order terms
are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves,
and 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 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 and is expressed in
decibels.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between any two channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale,
100 kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input channels and
determining the degree to which the signal attenuates in the
selected channel with a 30 kHz signal.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but
not the linearity of the converter. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in full-scale transition point due to a change
in power supply voltage from the nominal value. See the
Ty pi ca l
Performance Characteristics section.

THEORY OF OPERATION
CONVERTER DETAILS
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 are pin- and softwarecompatible, reduced decoupling versions of the AD7656/AD7657/
AD7658 devices. In addition, the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1
are high speed, low power converters that allow the simultaneous
sampling of six on-chip ADCs. The analog inputs on the AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1 can accept true bipolar input signals. The
RANGE pin or RNGx bits are used to select either ±4 × V
±2 × V
as the input range for the next conversion.
REF
Each AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 contains six SAR ADCs, six
track-and-hold amplifiers, an on-chip 2.5 V reference, reference
buffers, and high speed parallel and serial interfaces. The parts
allow the simultaneous sampling of all six ADCs when the three
CONVST pins (CONVST A, CONVST B, and CONVST C) are
tied together. Alternatively, the six ADCs can be grouped into
three pairs. Each pair has an associated CONVST signal used to
initiate simultaneous sampling on each ADC pair, on four ADCs,
or on all six ADCs. CONVST A is used to initiate simultaneous
sampling on V1 and V2, CONVST B is used to initiate simultaneous sampling on V3 and V4, and CONVST C is used to
initiate simultaneous sampling on V5 and V6.
A conversion is initiated on the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1
by pulsing the CONVST input. On the rising edge of CONVST,
the track-and-hold amplifier of the selected ADC pair is placed
into hold mode and the conversions are started. After the rising
edge of CONVST, the BUSY signal goes high to indicate that the
conversion is taking place. The conversion clock for the AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1 is internally generated, and the conversion
time for the parts is 3 µs. The BUSY signal returns low to indicate
the end of a conversion. On the falling edge of BUSY, the trackand-hold amplifier returns to track mode. Data can be read from
the output register via the parallel or serial interface.
Track-and-Hold Amplifiers
The track-and-hold amplifiers on the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 allow the ADCs to accurately convert an input
sine wave of full-scale amplitude to 16-/14-/12-bit resolution,
respectively. The input bandwidth of the track-and-hold amplifiers
is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC, even when the
AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 are operating at the maximum
throughput rate. The parts can handle input frequencies of up
to 4.5 MHz.
The track-and-hold amplifiers sample their respective inputs
simultaneously on the rising edge of CONVST. The aperture time
(that is, the delay time between the external CONVST signal
actually going into hold) for the track-and-hold amplifier is 10 ns.
This is well matched across all six track-and-hold amplifiers on one
device and from device to device. This allows more than six ADCs
to be sampled simultaneously. The end of the conversion is signaled
by the falling edge of BUSY, and it is at this point that the trackand-hold amplifiers return to track mode and the acquisition
time begins.

Analog Input
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 can handle true bipolar
input voltages. The logic level on the RANGE pin or the value
written to the RNGx bits in the control register determines the
analog input range on the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 for
the next conversion. When the RANGE pin or RNGx bits are 1,
the analog input range for the next conversion is ±2 × V

Figure 25 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input
structure of the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1. The two
diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog
inputs. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input
signal never exceeds the V
and VSS supply rails by more than
DD
300 mV. Signals exceeding this value cause these diodes to
become forward-biased and to start conducting current into the
substrate. The maximum current these diodes can conduct
without causing irreversible damage to the parts is 10 mA.
Capacitor C1 in Figure 25 is typically about 4 pF and can be
attributed primarily to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a lumped
component made up of the on resistance of a switch (that is, a
track-and-hold switch). This resistor is typically about 3.5 kΩ.
Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and has a
capacitance of 10 pF typically.
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 require V

supplies for the high voltage analog input structures. These supplies
must be equal to or greater than the analog input range (see Ta b le 8
for the requirements on these supplies for each analog input range).
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 require a low voltage AV

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding of the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 is
twos complement. The designed code transitions occur midway
between successive integer LSB values, that is, 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSB.
The LSB size is FSR/65,536 for the AD7656-1, FSR/16,384 for
the AD7657-1, and FSR/4096 for the AD7658-1. The ideal

INTERNAL/EXTERNAL REFERENCE
The REFIN/REFOUT pin allows access to the 2.5 V reference of
the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1, or it allows an external
reference to be connected to provide the reference source for
conversions.
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 can each accommodate a
2.5 V external reference range. When using an external reference,
the internal reference must be disabled. After a reset, the AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1 default to operating in external reference
mode with the internal reference buffers enabled.
The internal reference can be enabled in either hardware or
software mode. To enable the internal reference in hardware mode,

internal reference in software mode, set
/S SEL pin to 0 and the REF
pin to 1. To enable the

DIS
H
/S SEL to 1 and write to
the control register to set DB9 of the register to 1. For the internal
reference mode, the REFIN/REFOUT pin should be decoupled
using a 1 µF capacitor.
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 each contain three onchip reference buffers. Each of the three ADC pairs has an
associated reference buffer. These reference buffers require
external decoupling capacitors, using 1 µF capacitors, on the
REFCAPA, REFCAPB, and REFCAPC pins. The internal
reference buffers can be disabled in software mode by writing
to Bit DB8 in the internal control register. If serial interface is
selected, the internal reference buffers can be disabled in hardware
mode by setting the DB14/REFBUF
EN
pin high. If the internal
/DIS
reference and its buffers are disabled, an external buffered
reference should be applied to the REFCAPx pins.
TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 27 shows the typical connection diagram for the AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1, illustrating the reduction in the number
and value of decoupling capacitors required. There are eight
AV
supply pins on each part. The AVCC supplies are the supplies
CC
used for the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 conversion process;
therefore, they should be well decoupled. The AV

a 1 µF capacitor. The three internal reference buffers are enabled.
Each of the REFCAPx pins is decoupled with a 1 µF capacitor.
If the same supply is being used for the AV

ferrite or small RC filter should be placed between the supply pins.
AGND pins are connected to the AGND plane of the system.
The DGND pins are connected to the digital ground plane in
the system. The AGND and DGND planes should be connected
together at one place in the system. This connection should be
as close as possible to the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 in

DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
Together, the driver amplifier and the analog input circuit used
for the AD7656-1 must settle for a full-scale step input to a 16-bit
level (0.0015%), which is within the specified 550 ns acquisition
time of the AD7656-1. 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 AD7656-1. In
addition, the driver also needs to have a THD performance
suitable for the AD7656-1.
The AD8021 meets these requirements. The AD8021 needs an
external compensation capacitor of 10 pF. If a dual version of
the AD8021 is required, the AD8022 can be used. The AD8610
and the AD797 can also be used to drive the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1.

The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 consist of six 16-/14-/
12-bit ADCs, respectively. A simultaneous sample of all six
ADCs can be performed by connecting all three CONVST pins
(CONVST A, CONVST B, and CONVST C) together. The
AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 need to see a CONVST pulse
to initiate a conversion; this should consist of a falling CONVST
edge followed by a rising CONVST edge. The rising edge of
CONVST initiates simultaneous conversions on the selected
ADCs. The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 each contain an
on-chip oscillator that is used to perform the conversions. The
conversion time, t

The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 also allow the six ADCs
to be converted simultaneously in pairs by pulsing the three
CONVST pins independently. CONVST A is used to initiate
simultaneous conversions on V1 and V2, CONVST B is used to
initiate simultaneous conversions on V3 and V4, and CONVST C
is used to initiate simultaneous conversions on V5 and V6. The

The CS signal can be permanently tied low, and the RD signal
can be used to access the conversion results. A read operation
can take place after the BUSY signal goes low. The number of
required read operations depends on the number of ADCs that
are simultaneously sampled (see ). If CONVST A
Figure 28
and CONVST B are simultaneously brought low, four read
operations are required to obtain the conversion results from
V1, V2, V3, and V4. If CONVST A and CONVST C are
simultaneously brought low, four read operations are required
to obtain the conversion results from V1, V2, V5, and V6.
The conversion results are output in ascending order. For
the AD7657-1, DB15 and DB14 contain two leading 0s, and
DB[13:0] output the 14-bit conversion result. For the AD7658-1,
DB[15:12] contain four leading 0s, and DB[11:0] output the
12-bit conversion result.
When using the three CONVST signals to independently
initiate conversions on the three ADC pairs, care should be
taken to ensure that a conversion is not initiated on a channel
pair when the BUSY signal is high. It is also recommended not
to initiate a conversion during a read sequence because doing so

If there is only an 8-bit bus available, the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 parallel interface can be configured to operate in byte
W
mode (
/B = 1). In this configuration, the DB7/HBEN/DCEN
pin takes on its HBEN function. Each channel conversion result
from the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 can be accessed in
two read operations, with eight bits of data provided on DB15
to DB8 for each of the read operations (see ). The
Figure 29
HBEN pin determines whether the read operation first accesses
the high byte or the low byte of the 16-bit conversion result. To
always access the low byte first on DB15 to DB8, the HBEN pin
should be tied low. To always access the high byte first on DB15
to DB8, the HBEN pin should be tied high. In byte mode when
all three CONVST pins are pulsed together to initiate simultaneous
conversions on all six ADCs, 12 read operations are necessary
to read back the six 16-/14-/12-bit conversion results. DB[6:0]
should be left unconnected in byte mode.

The H/S SEL pin determines the source of the combination of ADCs

is logic low, the combination of channels to be simultaneously
sampled is determined by the CONVST A, CONVST B, and

combination of channels selected for simultaneous sampling
is determined by the contents of the DB15 to DB13 control
registers. In this mode, a write to the control register is necessary.

By pulsing one, two, or all three CONVST signals, the AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1 use their on-chip trimmed oscillator to
simultaneously convert the selected channel pairs on the rising
edge of CONVST. After the rising edge of CONVST, the BUSY
signal goes high to indicate that the conversion has started. It
returns low when the conversion is complete, 3 µs later. The
output register is loaded with the new conversion results, and
data can be read from the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1.
To read the data back from the parts over the serial interface,
PA R
SER/
SEL should be tied high. The CS and SCLK signals are
used to transfer data from the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1.
The parts have three DOUT pins: DOUT A, DOUT B, and
DOUT C. Data can be read back from each part using one, two,
or all three DOUT lines.
Figure 31 shows six simultaneous conversions and the read
sequence using three DOUT lines. Also in Figure 31, 32 SCLK
transfers are used to access data from the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1; however, two 16-SCLK individually framed transfers
with the
CS
signal can also be used to access the data on the
three DOUT lines. When the serial interface is selected and
conversion data is clocking out on all three DOUT lines,
DB0/SEL A, DB1/SEL B, and DB2/SEL C should be tied to
V
. These pins are used to enable the DOUT A to DOUT C
DRIVE
lines, respectively.
If it is required to clock conversion data out on two data output
lines, DOUT A and DOUT B should be used. To enable DOUT A
and DOUT B, DB0/SEL A and DB1/SEL B should be tied to V
DRIVE
and DB2/SEL C should be tied low. When six simultaneous
conversions are performed and only two DOUT lines are used,
a 48 SCLK transfer can be used to access the data from the
AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1. The read sequence is shown
in Figure 32 for a simultaneous conversion on all six ADCs
using two DOUT lines. If a simultaneous conversion occurred
on all six ADCs, and only two DOUT lines are used to read the
results from the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1. DOUT A
clocks out the result from V1, V2, and V5, whereas DOUT B
clocks out the results from V3, V4, and V6.
Data can also be clocked out using just one DOUT line, in which
case DOUT A should be used to access the conversion data. To
configure the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 to operate in
this mode, DB0/SEL A should be tied to V
, and DB1/SEL B
DRIVE
and DB2/SEL C should be tied low. The disadvantage of using
only one DOUT line is that the throughput rate is reduced. Data
can be accessed from the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 using
one 96 SCLK transfer, three 32-SCLK individually framed transfers,
or six 16-SCLK individually framed transfers. When using the
serial interface, the
RD
signal should be tied low and the unused
DOUT line(s) should be left unconnected.

Daisy-Chain Mode (DCEN = 1, SER/
When reading conversion data back from the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 using three/two/one DOUT pins, it is possible to
configure the parts to operate in daisy-chain mode by using the
DCEN pin. This daisy-chain feature allows multiple AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1 devices to be cascaded together and is
useful for reducing the component count and wiring connections.
An example connection of two devices is shown in Figure 34.
This configuration shows two DOUT lines being used for each
device. Simultaneous sampling of the 12 analog inputs is possible
by using a common CONVST signal. The DB5, DB4, and DB3
data pins are used as the DCIN[A:C] data input pins for the
daisy-chain mode.
The rising edge of CONVST is used to initiate a conversion on
the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1. After the BUSY signal has
gone low to indicate that the conversion is complete, the user can
begin to read the data from the two devices. Figure 35 shows the
serial timing diagram when operating two AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 devices in daisy-chain mode.
CS
The
falling edge is used to frame the serial transfer from the
AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 devices, to take the bus out of
three-state, and to clock out the MSB of the first conversion
result. In the example shown in , all 12 ADC channels
are simultaneously sampled. Two DOUT lines are used to read
the conversion results in this example.
transfer. During the first 48 SCLKs, the conversion data is
transferred from Device 2 to Device 1. DOUT A on Device 2
transfers conversion data from V1, V2, and V5 into DCIN A in
Device 1; DOUT B on Device 2 transfers conversion results from
V3, V4, and V6 to DCIN B in Device 1. During the first 48 SCLKs,
Device 1 transfers data into the digital host. DOUT A on Device 1
transfers conversion data from V1, V2, and V5; DOUT B on
Device 1 transfers conversion data from V3, V4, and V6. During
the last 48 SCLKs, Device 2 clocks out 0s, and Device 1 shifts the
data clocked in from Device 2 during the first 48 SCLKs into
the digital host. This example can also be implemented using
six 16-SCLK individually framed transfers if DCEN remains
high during the transfers.

Standby/Partial Power-Down Modes of Operation
PAR
(SER/
Each ADC pair can be individually placed into partial powerdown mode by bringing the CONVST signal low before the
falling edge of BUSY. To power the ADC pair back up, the
CONVST signal should be brought high to tell the ADC pair to
power up and place the track-and-hold amplifier into track
mode. After the power-up time from partial power-down has
elapsed, the CONVST signal should receive a rising edge to
initiate a valid conversion. In partial power-down mode, the
reference buffers remain powered up. When an ADC pair is in
partial power-down mode, conversions can still occur on the
other ADCs.
The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 have a standby mode
whereby the devices can be placed into a low power consumption
mode (25 µW maximum). The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1
are placed into standby mode by bringing the logic input
low and can be powered up again for normal operation by bringing
STBY
when the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 are in standby
mode, meaning the user can continue to access the conversion
results of the parts. This standby feature can be used to reduce
the average power consumed by the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 when operating at lower throughput rates. The parts
can be placed into standby at the end of each conversion when
BUSY goes low and are taken out of standby mode prior to the
next conversion. The time for the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 to come out of standby is called the wake-up time.
The wake-up time limits the maximum throughput rate at which
the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 can operate when powering

APPLICATION HINTS
LAYOUT
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/
AD7658-1 should be designed so that the analog and digital
sections are separated and confined to different areas of the board.
At least one ground plane should be used. It can be common or
split between the digital and analog sections. In the case of the
split plane, the digital and analog ground planes should be
joined in only one place, preferably underneath the AD7656-1/
AD7657-1/AD7658-1, or at least as close as possible to the part.
If the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 are in a system where
multiple devices require analog-to-digital ground connections,
the connection should still be made at only one point, a star
ground point, which should be established as close as possible to
the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1. Good connections should
be made to the ground plane. Avoid sharing one connection for
multiple ground pins. Individual vias or multiple vias to the
ground plane should be used for each ground pin.
Avoid running digital lines under the devices because doing so
couples noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be
allowed to run under the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 to
avoid noise coupling. Fast-switching signals like CONVST or
clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating
noise to other sections of the board, and they should never run
near analog signal paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals
should be avoided. Traces on layers in close proximity on the
board should run at right angles to each other to reduce the
effect of feedthrough through the board.
The power supply lines to the AV
on the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 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 connections
should be made between the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1
supply pins and the power tracks on the board; this should involve
the use of a single via or multiple vias for each supply pin.
Good decoupling is also important to lower the supply impedance
presented to the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 and to reduce
the magnitude of the supply spikes. The decoupling capacitors
should be placed close to, ideally right up against, these pins
and their corresponding ground pins. Additionally, low-ESR
1 F capacitors should be placed on each of the supply pins, the
REFIN/REFOUT pin, and each REFCAPx pin. Avoid sharing
these capacitors between pins, and use vias to connect the
capacitors to the power and ground planes. In addition, use
wide, short traces between each via and the capacitor pad, or
place the vias adjacent to the capacitor pad to minimize parasitic
inductances. The AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 offer the user
a reduced decoupling solution that is pin and software compatible
with AD7656/AD7657/AD7658. The recommended reduced
decoupling required for AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 is
outlined in Figure 27.
Figure 27 shows an external Schmitt trigger device on the
CONVST A, CONVST B, CONVST C inputs. The Schmitt trigger
can be placed close to the CONVST pins (decoupled to the digital
ground) and is used to eliminate any system noise that couples onto
long CONVST A, CONVST B, CONVST C traces from being
applied to the CONVST pins. The Schmitt trigger offers noise
immunity to any high frequency noise, providing a clean
conversion edge to the AD7656-1/AD7657-1/AD7658-1 device in
cases where there is large system noise capable of coupling onto the
CONVST trace.
