The AD7829-1 is a high speed 8-channel, microprocessorcompatible, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter with a maximum
throughput of 2 MSPS. The AD7829-1 contains an on-chip
reference of 2.5 V (2% tolerance); a track-and-hold amplifier;
a 420 ns, 8-bit half-flash ADC; and a high speed parallel
interface. The converter can operate from a single 3 V ± 10%
and 5 V ± 10% supply.
The AD7829-1 combines the convert start and power-down
functions at one pin, that is, the
CONVST
pin. This allows a
unique automatic power-down at the end of a conversion to be
implemented. The logic level on the

interfacing to microprocessors and DSPs. Using only address
decoding logic, the parts are easily mapped into the microprocessor
address space.

TERMINOLOGY
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
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 (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental.
For the AD7829-1 it is defined as

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.
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 decibels (dB).
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
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 eight channels of the AD7829-1.
Relative Accuracy or Endpoint Nonlinearity
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.
Offset Error
The deviation of the 128th code transition (01111111) to
(10000000) from the ideal, that is, V
MID
.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
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
S
value of the 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 creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3… . Intermodulation 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
AD7829-1 is 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.
Offset Error Match
The difference in offset error between any two channels.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD7829-1 consists 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 15 comparators that compare
the unknown input to a reference ladder to achieve a 4-bit result.
This first flash, that is, coarse conversion, provides the four
MSBs. For a full 8-bit reading to be realized, a second flash,
that is, a fine conversion, must be performed to provide the four
LSBs. The 8-bit word is then placed on the data output bus.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show simplified schematics of the ADC.
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
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, that is, at 220 ns, while the
end of the second flash and, hence, the 8-bit conversion result,
is available at 330 ns (minimum). The maximum conversion
time is 420 ns. As shown in

the end of the current conversion.

The AD7829-1 has eight input channels. Each input channel has
an input span of 2.5 V or 2.0 V, depending on the supply voltage
(V
). This input span is automatically set up by an on-chip
DD
“V
detector” circuit. A 5 V operation of the ADCs is detected

60 ns wide does not trip the V

NOTE: Although there is a V
reference of 2.5 V can be sourced, or to which an external
reference can be applied, this does not provide an option of
varying the value of the voltage reference. As stated in the
specifications for the AD7829-1, the input voltage range at this
pin is 2.5 V ± 2%.
Analog Input Structure
Figure 13 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input
structure of the AD7829-1. 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 supply
rails by more than 200 mV. This causes 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) conducted
into the substrate due to an overvoltage on an unselected channel
can cause inaccurate conversions on a selected channel.

Capacitor C2 in Figure 13 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 trackand-hold. This resistor is typically about 310 Ω. Capacitor C1
is the track-and-hold capacitor and has a capacitance of 0.5 pF.

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 the
Circuit Description section), 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.

The on-chip track-and-hold can accommodate input
frequencies to 10 MHz, making the AD7829-1 ideal for
subsampling applications. When the AD7829-1 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 dB, as shown in

If the falling edge of
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. That is, a falling edge on

For example, if the AD7829-1 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, V
= 3 V. If the power-up time is 1 s and the conversion
DD
time is 330 ns (@ +25°C), the AD7829-1 can be said to dissipate
36 mW (maximum) for 1.33 µs during each conversion cycle.
If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 s and
06179-018
the average power dissipated during each cycle is (1.33/10) ×
(36 mW) = 4.79 mW. This calculation uses the minimum
conversion time, thus giving the best-case power dissipation at
this throughput rate. However, the actual power dissipated
during each conversion cycle may increase, depending on the
actual conversion time (up to a maximum of 420 ns).

When the AD7829-1 is operated in Mode 1, it is not powered

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The parallel port on the AD7829-1 allows the ADCs to be
interfaced to a range of many different microcontrollers. This

Figure 24 shows a parallel interface between the AD7829-1 and
EOC
the 8051 microcontroller. The
signal on the AD7829-1
provides an interrupt request to the 8051 when a conversion
ends and data is ready. Port 0 of the 8051 can serve as an input
or output port, or, as in this case when used together with the
address latch enable (ALE) of the AD8051, it can be used as a
bidirectional low order address and data bus. The ALE 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
AD7829-1 is addressed, because they do not have to be turned
around (set to 1) for data input, as is the case for Port 0.
