GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7863 is a high speed, low power, dual 14-bit analog-todigital converter that operates from a single 5 V supply.
The part contains two 5.2 μs successive approximation ADCs, two
track/hold amplifiers, an internal 2.5 V reference and a high speed
parallel interface. Four analog inputs are grouped into two channels
(A and B) selected by the A0 input. Each channel has two inputs
(V
and VA2 or VB1 and VB2) that can be sampled and converted
A1
simultaneously, thus preserving the relative phase information of
the signals on both analog inputs. The part accepts an analog input
range of ±10 V (AD7863-10), ±2.5 V (AD7863-3), and 0 V to
2.5 V (AD7863-2). Overvoltage protection on the analog inputs
for the part allows the input voltage to go to ±17 V, ±7 V, or +7 V
respectively, without causing damage.
A single conversion start signal (
CONVST
both track/holds into hold and initiates conversion on both
channels. The BUSY signal indicates the end of conversion and at
this time the conversion results for both channels are available to be
read. The first read after a conversion accesses the result from V
or V
, and the second read accesses the result from VA2 or VB2,
B1
depending on whether the multiplexer select (A0) is low or high,
respectively. Data is read from the part via a 14-bit parallel data bus
with standard
CS
and RD signals. In addition to the traditional dc
accuracy specifications such as linearity, gain, and offset errors, the
part is also specified for dynamic performance parameters
including harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7863 features two complete ADC functions
allowing simultaneous sampling and conversion of two
channels. Each ADC has a two-channel input mux. The
conversion result for both channels is available 5.2 μs after
initiating conversion.
2. The AD7863 op
consumes 70 mW typical. The automatic power-down
mode, where the part goes into power-down once
conversion is complete and wakes up before the next
conversion cycle, makes the AD7863 ideal for batterypowered or portable applications.
3. T
he part offers a high speed parallel interface for easy
connection to microprocessors, microcontrollers, and
digital signal processors.
4. The p
art is offered in three versions with different analog
input ranges. The AD7863-10 offers the standard industrial
input range of ±10 V; the AD7863-3 offers the common
signal processing input range of ±2.5 V, while the AD7863-2
can be used in unipolar 0 V to 2.5 V applications.
5. The p
art features very tight aperture delay matching
between the two input sample and hold amplifiers.

For best dynamic performance of the AD7863, ATE device testing has to be performed with power supply decoupling in place. In the AD7863 power-down mode of
operation, the leakage current associated with these decoupling capacitors is greater than that of the AD7863 supply current. Therefore, the 40 nA typical figure
shown is characterized and guaranteed by design figure, which reflects the supply current of the AD7863 without decoupling in place. The maximum figure shown in

TERMINOLOGY
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
utput of the analog-to-digital converter. The signal is the rms
o
amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (f
/2),
S
excluding dc. 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) = (6.02
N + 1.76) dB
For a 14-bit converter, this is 86.04 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
rmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7863 it is defined as

Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
ms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
r
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 is
a noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
fb
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), and the third order terms
include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa − 2fb).
The AD7863 is tested using two input frequencies. In this case,
he second and third order terms are of different significance.
t
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 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
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of
cr
osstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a fullscale 50 kHz sine wave signal to all nonselected channels and
determining how much that signal is attenuated in the selected
channel. The figure given is the worst case across all channels.

CONVERTER DETAILS
The AD7863 is a high speed, low power, dual 14-bit analog-todigital converter that operates from a single 5 V supply. The
part contains two 5.2 μs successive approximation ADCs, two
track-and-hold amplifiers, an internal 2.5 V reference, and a
high speed parallel interface. Four analog inputs are grouped
into two channels (A and B) selected by the A0 input. Each
channel has two inputs (V
sampled and converted simultaneously, thus preserving the
relative phase information of the signals on both analog inputs.
The part accepts an analog input range of ±10 V (AD7863-10),
±2.5 V (AD7863-3), and 0 V to 2.5 V (AD7863-2). Overvoltage
protection on the analog inputs for the part allows the input
voltage to go to ±17 V, ±7 V, or +7 V, respectively, without
causing damage. The AD7863 has two operating modes, the high
sampling mode and the auto sleep mode, where the part automatically goes into sleep after the end of conversion. These modes
are discussed in more detail in the Timing and Control section.
Conversion is initiated on the AD7863 by pulsing the
input. On the falling edge of
holds are simultaneously placed into hold and the conversion
sequence is started on both channels. The conversion clock for
the part is generated internally using a laser-trimmed clock
oscillator circuit. The BUSY signal indicates the end of
conversion and at this time the conversion results for both
channels are available to be read. The first read after a conversion accesses the result from V

Conversion time for the AD7863 is 5.2 μs in the high sampling
mode (10 μs for the auto sleep mode), and the track/hold
acquisition time is 0.5 μs. To obtain optimum performance
from the part, the read operation should not occur during the
conversion or during the 400 ns prior to the next conversion.
This allows the part to operate at throughput rates up to 175 kHz

TRACK-AND-HOLD SECTION
The track-and-hold amplifiers on the AD7863 allow the ADCs
to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale amplitude
to 14-bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the track-and-hold
is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC, even when the
ADC is operated at its maximum throughput rate of 175 kHz
(that is, the track-and hold can handle input frequencies in
excess of 87.5 kHz).
The track-and-hold amplifiers acquire input signals to 14-bit
accuracy in less than 500 ns. The operation of the track-andholds is essentially transparent to the user. The two track-and-hold
amplifiers sample their respective input channels simultaneously,
on the falling edge of
track-and-holds (that is, the delay time between the external

hold) is well-matched across the two track-and-holds on one
device and also well-matched from device to device. This allows
the relative phase information between different input channels
to be accurately preserved. It also allows multiple AD7863s to
simultaneously sample more than two channels. At the end of
conversion, the part returns to its tracking mode. The acquisition
time of the track-and-hold amplifiers begins at this point.

result in gain errors in the AD7863 transfer function and add to
the specified full-scale errors on the part. On the AD7863-10
and AD7863-3, it also results in an offset error injected in the
attenuator stage.
The AD7863 contains an on-chip 2.5 V reference. To use this
reference as the reference source for the AD7863, connect two
0.1 μF disc ceramic capacitors from the V
voltage that appears at this pin is internally buffered before
being applied to the ADC. If this reference is required for use
external to the AD7863, it should be buffered because the part
has a FET switch in series with the reference output resulting in
a source impedance for this output of 5.5 kΩ nominal. The
tolerance on the internal reference is ±10 mV at 25°C with a
typical temperature coefficient of 25 ppm/°C and a maximum
error over temperature of ±25 mV.
If the application requires a reference with a tighter tolerance or
the AD7863 needs to be used with a system reference, the user
has the option of connecting an external reference to this V
pin. The external reference effectively overdrives the internal
reference and thus provides the reference source for the ADC.
The reference input is buffered before being applied to the ADC
with a maximum input current of ±100 μA. A suitable reference
source for the AD7863 is the AD780 precision 2.5 V reference.

Figure 5 shows the analog input section for the AD7863-10 and
AD7863-3. The analog input range of the AD7863-10 is ±10 V
into an input resistance of typically 9 kΩ. The analog input
range of the AD7863-3 is ±2.5 V into an input resistance of
typically 3 kΩ. This input is benign, with no dynamic charging
currents because the resistor stage is followed by a high input
impedance stage of the track-and-hold amplifier. For the
AD7863-10, R1 = 8 kΩ, R2 = 2 kΩ and R3 = 2 kΩ. For the
AD7863-3, R1 = R2 = 2 kΩ and R3 is open circuit.
For the AD7863-10 and AD7863-3, the designed code

OFFSET AND FULL-SCALE ADJUSTMENT
In most digital signal processing (DSP) applications, offset and
full-scale errors have little or no effect on system performance.
Offset error can always be eliminated in the analog domain by
ac coupling. Full-scale error effect is linear and does not cause
problems as long as the input signal is within the full dynamic
range of the ADC. Invariably, some applications require that the
input signal span the full analog input dynamic range. In such
applications, offset and full-scale error have to be adjusted to zero.
Figure 6 shows a typical circuit that can be used to adjust the
o
ffset and full-scale errors on the AD7863 (V
AD7863-10 version is shown for example purposes only).
Where adjustment is required, offset error must be adjusted
before full-scale error. This is achieved by trimming the offset
of the op amp driving the analog input of the AD7863 while the
input voltage is ½ LSB below analog ground. The trim
procedure is as follows: apply a voltage of −0.61 mV (−½ LSB)
at V
in Figure 6 and adjust the op amp offset voltage until the

Gain error can be adjusted at either the first code transition (ADC
negative full scale) or the last code transition (ADC positive full
scale). The trim procedures for both cases are as follows:
Positive Full-Scale Adjust (−10 Version)
Apply a voltage of 9.9927 V (FS/2 – 1 LSBs) at V1. Adjust R2
until the ADC output code flickers between 01 1111 1111 1110
and 01 1111 1111 1111.
Negative Full-Scale Adjust (−10 Version)
Apply a voltage of −9.9976 V (−FS + 1 LSB) at V1. Adjust R2
until the ADC output code flickers between 10 0000 0000 0000
and 10 0000 0000 0001.
An alternative scheme for adjusting full-scale error in systems
hat use an external reference is to adjust the voltage at the V
t
REF
pin until the full-scale error for any of the channels is adjusted
out. The good full-scale matching of the channels ensures small
full-scale errors on the other channels.

obtain optimum performance (Mode 1) from the AD7863. In

The achievable throughput rate for the part is 5.2 μs (conversion

results in a minimum throughput time of 5.7 μs (equivalent to
a throughput rate of 175 kHz).

OPERATING MODES
MODE 1 OPERATION
Normal Power, High Sampling Performance
The timing diagram in Figure 7 is for optimum performance in
operating Mode 1 where the falling edge of
CONVST
starts
conversion and puts the track-and-hold amplifiers into their
hold mode. This falling edge of
CONVST
also causes the BUSY
signal to go high to indicate that a conversion is taking place.
The BUSY signal goes low when the conversion is complete,
which is 5.2 μs max after the falling edge of
CONVST
and new
data from this conversion is available in the output latch of the
AD7863. A read operation accesses this data. If the multiplexer
select A0 is low, the first and second read pulses after the first
conversion accesses the result from Channel A (V
and VA2,
A1
respectively). The third and fourth read pulses, after the second
conversion and A0 high, access the result from Channel B (V
and V

AD7863 DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS
The AD7863 is specified and tested for dynamic performance as
well as traditional dc specifications such as integral and
differential nonlinearity. These ac specifications are required for
the signal processing applications such as phased array sonar,
adaptive filters, and spectrum analysis. These applications
require information on the ADC’s effect on the spectral content
of the input signal. Hence, the parameters for which the
AD7863 is specified include SNR, harmonic distortion,
intermodulation distortion, and peak harmonics. These terms
are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR)
SNR is the measured signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the
ADC. The signal is the rms magnitude of the fundamental.
Noise is the rms sum of all the nonfundamental signals up to
half the sampling frequency (f

digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the
quantization noise. The theoretical signal-to-noise ratio for a
sine wave input is given by

Thus for an ideal 14-bit converter, SNR = 86.04 dB.

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) and the third order terms
include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa − 2fb).
In this case, the second and third order terms are of different
nificance. The second order terms are usually distanced in
sig
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. In this case, the input
consists of two equal amplitude, low distortion sine waves.

determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for

In the automatic power-down mode the part can be operated at
a sample rate that is considerably less than 175 kHz. In this case,
the power consumption is reduced and depends on the sample
rate.

Some applications may require that the conversion be initiated
by the microprocessor rather than an external timer. One
option is to decode the AD7863
CONVST
from the address bus
so that a write operation starts a conversion. Data is read at the
end of the conversion sequence as before. Figure 23 shows an
mple of initiating conversion using this method. Note that
exa
for all interfaces, it is preferred that a read operation not be
attempted during conversion.
AD7863 TO MC68000 INTERFACE
An interface between the AD7863 and the MC68000 is shown
in Figure 22. As before, conversion can be supplied from the
C68000 or from an external source. The AD7863 BUSY line
M
can be used to interrupt the processor or, alternatively, software
delays can ensure that conversion has been completed before a
read to the AD7863 is attempted. Because of the nature of its
interrupts, the MC68000 requires additional logic (not shown
in
Figure 23) to allow it to be interrupted correctly. For further
inf
ormation on MC68000 interrupts, consult the MC68000

VECTOR MOTOR CONTROL
The current drawn by a motor can be split into two components:
one produces torque and the other produces magnetic flux.
For optimal performance of the motor, these two components
should be controlled independently. In conventional methods of
controlling a three-phase motor, the current (or voltage)
supplied to the motor and the frequency of the drive are the
basic control variables. However, both the torque and flux are
functions of current (or voltage) and frequency. This coupling

he 68000 D0 register.

effect can reduce the performance of the motor because, for
example, if the torque is increased by increasing the frequency,
the flux tends to decrease.

Vector control of an ac motor involves controlling the phase in
addition to drive and current frequency. Controlling the phase
of the motor requires feedback information on the position of
the rotor relative to the rotating magnetic field in the motor.
Using this information, a vector controller mathematically
transforms the three phase drive currents into separate torque
and flux components. The AD7863 is ideally suited for use in
vector motor control applications.
A block diagram of a vector motor control application using the
AD7863 is sh

AD7863 are used to digitize this information.
MULTIPLE AD7863S
Figure 25 shows a system where a number of AD7863s can be
configured to handle multiple input channels. This type of
configuration is common in applications such as sonar and
radar. The AD7863 is specified with typical limits on aperture
delay. This means that the user knows the difference in the
sampling instant between all channels. This allows the user to
maintain relative phase information between the different
channels.

Simultaneous sampling is critical to maintaining the relative

phas
isolation amplifier, transformer, or Hall effect sensor is used
between the motor and the AD7863. Rotor information is
obtained by measuring the voltage from two of the inputs to the
motor. V

B1
information. Once again the relative phase of the two channels
is important. A DSP microprocessor is used to perform the
mathematical transformations and control loop calculations on
the information fed back by the AD7863.

A common read signal from the microprocessor drives the RD
input of all AD7863s. Each AD7863 is designated a unique
address selected by the address decoder. The reference output of
AD7863 Number 1 is used to drive the reference input of all
other AD7863s in the circuit shown in
Figure 25. One V
REF
can
be used to provide the reference to several other AD7863s.
Alternatively, an external or system reference can be used to
drive all V
