FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are high speed, 1-, 4-, and
8-channel, microprocessor-compatible, 8-bit analog-to-digital
converters with a maximum throughput of 2 MSPS. The AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829 contain an on-chip reference of 2.5 V
(2% tolerance), a track/hold amplifier, a 420 ns 8-bit half-flash
ADC and a high speed parallel interface. The converters can
The AD7822 and AD7825 are available in a 20-/24-lead 0.3"
wide, plastic dual-in-line package (DIP), a 20-/24-lead small
outline IC (SOIC) and a 20-/24-lead thin shrink small outline
package (TSSOP). The AD7829 is available in a 28-lead 0.6"
wide, plastic dual-in-line package (DIP), a 28-lead small outline
IC (SOIC) and in a 28-lead thin shrink small outline package
(TSSOP).
operate from a single 3 V ± 10% and 5 V ± 10% supply.
The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 combine the convert start
and power-down functions at one pin, i.e., the CONVST pin.
This allows a unique automatic power-down at the end of a
conversion to be implemented. The logic level on the CONVST
pin is sampled after the end of a conversion when an EOC (End
of Conversion) signal goes high, and if it is logic low at that
point, the ADC is powered down. The AD7822 and AD7825
also have a separate power-down pin. (See Operating Modes
section of the data sheet.)
The parallel interface is designed to allow easy interfacing to
microprocessors and DSPs. Using only address decoding logic,
the parts are easily mapped into the microprocessor address
space. The EOC pulse allows the ADCs to be used in a standalone manner. (See Parallel Interface section of the data sheet.)

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Fast Conversion Time
The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 have a conversion time
of 420 ns. Faster conversion times maximize the DSP processing time in a real time system.
2. Analog Input Span Adjustment
The V
pin allows the user to offset the input span. This
MID
feature can reduce the requirements of single supply op amps
and take into account any system offsets.
3. FPBW (Full Power Bandwidth) of Track and Hold
The track-and-hold amplifier has an excellent high frequency
performance. The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are
capable of converting full-scale input signals up to a frequency of 10 MHz. This makes the parts ideally suited to
subsampling applications.
4. Channel Selection
Channel selection is made without the necessity of writing to
the part.

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore,
proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

AD7822/AD7825/AD7829
TERMINOLOGY
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 rms sum of all nonfundamental
signals up to half the sampling frequency (f
/2), excluding dc.
S
The ratio is dependent upon 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) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
Thus, for an 8-bit converter, this is 50␣ dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829
it is defined as:
2

where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3,
, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the
V
4
sixth harmonics.
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 parts
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 terms are those for which
neither m nor n are equal to zero. For example, the second order
terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), while the third order terms
include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and (fa – 2fb).
The AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 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 and third order
terms are of different significance. 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 fundamental expressed in dBs.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale 20 kHz
sine wave signal to one input channel and determining how
much that signal is attenuated in each of the other channels.
The figure given is the worst case across all four or eight channels of the AD7825 and AD7829 respectively.
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is the maximum
deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of
the ADC transfer function.
Differential Nonlinearity
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change
between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.

Gain Error Match
The difference in gain error between any two channels.
Track/Hold Acquisition Time
The time required for the output of the track/hold amplifier to
reach its final value, within ±1/2 LSB, after the point at which
the track/hold returns to track mode. This happens approximately 120 ns after the falling edge of CONVST.
It also applies to situations where a change in the selected input
channel takes place or where there is a step input change on the
input voltage applied to the selected V
input of the AD7822/
IN
AD7825/AD7829. It means that the user must wait for the duration of the track/hold acquisition time after a channel change/step
input change to V
before starting another conversion, to
IN
ensure that the part operates to specification.
PSR (Power Supply Rejection)
Variations in power supply will affect the full-scale transition,
but not the converter’s linearity. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a
change in power supply voltage from the nominal value.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 consist of a track-and-hold
amplifier followed by a half-flash analog-to-digital converter.
These devices use a half-flash conversion technique where one
4-bit flash ADC is used to achieve an 8-bit result. The 4-bit
flash ADC contains a sampling capacitor followed by fifteen
comparators that compare the unknown input to a reference
ladder to achieve a 4-bit result. This first flash, i.e., coarse conversion, provides the 4 MSBs. For a full 8-bit reading to be
realized, a second flash, i.e., a fine conversion, must be performed to provide the 4 LSBs. The 8-bit word is then placed on
the data output bus.

When the ADC starts a conversion, the track and hold goes into
hold mode and holds the analog input for 120 ns. This is the
acquisition phase as shown in Figure 2, when Switch 2 is in
Position A. At the point when the track and hold returns to
its track mode, this signal is sampled by the sampling capacitor
as Switch 2 moves into Position B. The first flash occurs at this
instant and is then followed by the second flash. Typically, the
first flash is complete after 100 ns, i.e., at 220 ns, while the end
of the second flash and hence the 8-bit conversion result is
available at 330 ns. As shown in Figure 4, the track-and-hold
returns to track mode after 120 ns, and starts the next acquisition before the end of the current conversion. Figure 6 shows
the ADC transfer function.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 5 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829. The AGND and DGND are connected
together at the device for good noise suppression. The parallel
interface is implemented using an 8-bit data bus. The end of
conversion signal (EOC) idles high, the falling edge of CONVST
initiates a conversion and at the end of conversion the falling
edge of EOC is used to initiate an Interrupt Service Routine

NOTE: Although there is a V

pin from which a voltage
REF
reference of 2.5 V may be sourced, or to which an external reference may be applied, this does not provide an option of
varying the value of the voltage reference. As stated in the
specifications for the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829, the input
voltage range at this pin is 2.5 V ± 2%.
Analog Input Structure
Figure 11 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure
of the AD7822, AD7825, and the AD7829. 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 supply rails by more than 200 mV. This will cause these
diodes to become forward biased and start conducting current into
the substrate. 20 mA is the maximum current these diodes can
conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part. However, it is worth noting that a small amount of current (1 mA)
being conducted into the substrate due to an over voltage on an
unselected channel, can cause inaccurate conversions on a selected channel. The capacitor C2 in Figure 11 is typically about
4 pF and can be primarily attributed to pin capacitance. The
resistor, R1, is a lumped component made up of the on resistance of several components, including that of the multiplexer
and the track and hold. This resistor is typically about 310 Ω.
The capacitor C1 is the track-and-hold capacitor and has a capacitance of 0.5 pF. Switch 1 is the track-and-hold switch, while
Switch 2 is that of the sampling capacitor as shown in Figures
2 and 3.
When in track phase, Switch 1 is closed and Switch 2 is in
Position A; when in hold mode, Switch 1 opens while Switch
2 remains in Position A. The track-and-hold remains in hold
mode for 120 ns—see Circuit Description, after which it returns
to track mode and the ADC enters its conversion phase. At this
point Switch 1 opens and Switch 2 moves to Position B. At the
end of the conversion Switch 2 moves back to Position A.

Channel selection on the AD7825 and AD7829 is made without
the necessity of a write operation. The address of the next channel
to be converted is latched at the start of the current read operation,
as shown in Figure 12. This allows for improved throughput rates
in “channel hopping” applications.

. This is the

The on-chip track-and-hold can accommodate input frequencies to 10 MHz, making the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829
ideal for subsampling applications. When the AD7825 is converting a 10 MHz input signal at a sampling rate of 2 MSPS,
the effective number of bits typically remains above seven,
corresponding to a signal-to-noise ratio of 42 dBs as shown
in Figure 14.

POWER-UP TIMES
The AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 have a 1 µs power-up time
when using an external reference and a 25 µs power-up time
when using the on-chip reference. When V
is first connected,
DD
the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are in a low current mode
of operation. Ensure that the CONVST line is not floating when
is applied, as this could put the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829
V
DD
into an unknown state. In order to carry out a conversion the
AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 must first be powered up. The
AD7829 is powered up by a rising edge on the CONVST pin
and a conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CONVST.
Figure 15 shows how to power up the AD7829 when V
is first
DD
connected or after the AD7829 has been powered down using
the CONVST pin when using either the on-chip, or an external,
reference. When using an external reference, the falling edge of
CONVST may occur before the required power-up time has
elapsed; however, the conversion will not be initiated on the falling edge of CONVST but rather at the moment when the part
has completely powered up, i.e., after 1 µs. If the falling edge ofCONVST occurs after the required power-up time has elapsed,
then it is upon this falling edge that a conversion is initiated.
When using the on-chip reference, it is necessary to wait the
required power-up time of approximately 25 µs before initiating
a conversion; i.e., a falling edge on CONVST may not occur
before the required power-up time has elapsed, when V
DD
is
first connected or after the AD7829 has been powered down
using the CONVST pin as shown in Figure 15.

down using the PD pin, or the CONVST pin, with either the
on-chip or an external reference. When the supplies are first
connected or after the part has been powered down by the PD
pin, only a rising edge on the PD pin will cause the part to
power up. When the part has been powered down using the
CONVST pin, a rising edge on either the PD pin or the CONVST
pin will power the part up again.
As with the AD7829, when using an external reference with the
AD7822 or AD7825, the falling edge of CONVST may occur
before the required power-up time has elapsed, however, if this
is the case, the conversion will not be initiated on the falling edge
of CONVST, but rather at the moment when the part has powered
up completely, i.e., after 1 µs. If the falling edge of CONVST
occurs after the required power-up time has elapsed, it is upon
this falling edge that a conversion is initiated. When using the
on-chip reference it is necessary to wait the required power-
up time of approximately 25 µs before initiating a conversion;
i.e., a falling edge on CONVST may not occur before the
required power-up time has elapsed, when supplies are first
connected to the AD7822 or AD7825, or when the ADCs have
been powered down using the PD pin or the CONVST pin as
shown in Figure 16.
AD7822/AD7825/AD7829
Figure 17. Automatic Power-Down
For example, if the AD7822 is operated in a continuous sampling mode, with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and using an
external reference, the power consumption is calculated as follows. The power dissipation during normal operation is 36 mW,
= 3 V. If the power-up time is 1 µs and the conversion time
V
DD
is 330 ns (@ +25°C), the AD7822 can be said to dissipate
36 mW for 1.33 µs (worst case) during each conversion cycle.
If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 µs
and the average power dissipated during each cycle is (1.33/10)
× (36 mW) = 4.79 mW.
Figure 18 shows the power vs. throughput rate for automatic
full power-down.

Superior power performance can be achieved by using the automatic power-down (Mode 2) at the end of a conversion—see
Operating Modes section of the data sheet.
Figure 17 shows how the automatic power-down is implemented
using the CONVST signal to achieve the optimum power performance for the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829. The duration
of the CONVST pulse is set to be equal to or less than the
power-up time of the devices—see Operating Modes section. As
the throughput rate is reduced, the device remains in its powerdown state longer and the average power consumption over time
drops accordingly.

OPERATING MODES
The AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 have two possible modes
of operation, depending on the state of the CONVST pulse
approximately 100 ns after the end of a conversion, i.e., upon
the rising edge of the EOC pulse.
Mode 1 Operation (High Speed Sampling)
When the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are operated in
Mode 1 they are not powered-down between conversions. This
mode of operation allows high throughput rates to be achieved.
Figure 20 shows how this optimum throughput rate is achieved
by bringing CONVST high before the end of a conversion, i.e.,
before the EOC pulses low. When operating in this mode a new
conversion should not be initiated until 30 ns after the end of a
read operation. This is to allow the track/hold to acquire the
analog signal to 0.5 LSB accuracy.

Mode 2 Operation (Automatic Power-Down)
When the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are operated in
Mode 2 (see Figure 21), they automatically power down at the
end of a conversion. The CONVST signal is brought low to initiate a conversion and is left logic low until after the EOC goes
high, i.e., approximately 100 ns after the end of the conversion.
The state of the CONVST signal is sampled at this point (i.e.,
530 ns maximum after CONVST falling edge) and the AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829 will power down as long as CONVST
is low. The ADC is powered up again on the rising edge of the
CONVST signal. Superior power performance can be achieved
in this mode of operation by only powering up the AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829 to carry out a conversion. The parallel
interface of the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 is still fully
operational while the ADCs are powered down. A read may occur
while the part is powered down, and so it does not necessarily
need to be placed within the EOC pulse as shown in Figure 21.

PARALLEL INTERFACE
The parallel interface of the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 is
eight bits wide. Figure 22 shows a timing diagram illustrating
the operational sequence of the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829
parallel interface. The multiplexer address is latched into the
AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 on the falling edge of the RD input.
The on-chip track/hold goes into hold mode on the falling
edge of CONVST and a conversion is also initiated at this
point. When the conversion is complete, the end of conversion
line (EOC) pulses low to indicate that new data is available in
the output register of the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829. The
EOC pulse will stay logic low for a maximum time of 110 ns.
However, the EOC pulse can be reset high by a rising edge of

RD. This EOC line can be used to drive an edge-triggered inter-
rupt of a microprocessor. CS and RD going low accesses the
8-bit conversion result. It is possible to tie CS permanently low
and use only RD to access the data. In systems where the part is
interfaced to a gate array or ASIC, this EOC pulse can be applied
to the CS and RD inputs to latch data out of the AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829 and into the gate array or ASIC. This
means that the gate array or ASIC does not need any conversion status recognition logic and it also eliminates the logic
required in the gate array or ASIC to generate the read signal
for the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The parallel port on the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 allows the
ADCs to be interfaced to a range of many different microcontrollers. This section explains how to interface the AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829 with some of the more common microcontroller parallel interface protocols.
AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 to 8051
Figure 23 below shows a parallel interface between the AD7822,
AD7825, and AD7829 and the 8051 microcontroller. The EOC
signal on the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 provides an interrupt request to the 8051 when a conversion ends and data is
ready. Port 0 of the 8051 may serve as an input or output port,
or as in this case when used together, may be used as a bidirectional low order address and data bus. The address latch enable
output of the 8051 is used to latch the low byte of the address
during accesses to the device, while the high order address byte
is supplied from Port 2. Port 2 latches remain stable when the
AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 are addressed, as they do not
have to be turned around (set to 1) for data input as is the case for
Port 0.

signal on the AD7822, AD7825, and AD7829 provides an
interrupt request to the microcontroller when a conversion
begins. Of the PIC16C6x/7x range of microcontrollers only
the PIC16C64/65/74 can provide the option of a parallel slave
port. Port D of the microcontroller will operate as an 8-bit wide
parallel slave port when control bit PSPMODE in the TRISE
register is set. Setting PSPMODE enables the port pin RE0 to
be the RD output and RE2 to be the CS (chip select) output.
For this functionality, the corresponding data direction bits
of the TRISE register must be configured as outputs (reset to
0). See PIC16/17 Microcontroller User Manual.

Interfacing Multiplexer Address Inputs
Figure 26 shows a simplified interfacing scheme between the
AD7825/AD7829 and any microprocessor or microcontroller,
which facilitates easy channel selection on the ADCs. The multiplexer address is latched on the falling edge of the RD signal,
as outlined in the Parallel Interface section, which allows the use
of the 3 LSBs of the address bus to select the channel address.
As shown in Figure 26, only address bits A3 to A15 are address
decoded allowing A0 to A2 to be changed according to desired
channel selection without affecting chip selection.

The AD7822, being the single channel device, does not have
any multiplexer addressing associated with it and can in fact be
controlled with just one signal, i.e., the CONVST signal. As
shown in Figure 27 the RD and CS pins are both tied to the
EOC pin and the resulting signal may be used as an interrupt
request signal (IRQ) on a DSP, as a WR signal to memory or as
a CLK to a latch or ASIC. The timing for this interface,
as shown in Figure 27, demonstrates how with the CONVST
signal alone, a conversion may be initiated, data is latched out
and the operating mode of the AD7822 can be selected.
