GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 are fast, complete, 12-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). These converters consist
of a track-and-hold amplifier, an 8 μs successive approximation
ADC, a 3 V buried Zener reference, and versatile interface logic.
The ADCs feature a self-contained internal clock which is laser
trimmed to guarantee accurate control of conversion time. No
external clock timing components are required; the on-chip
clock may be overridden by an external clock if required.
The parts offer a choice of three data output formats: a single,
parallel, 12-bit word; two 8-bit bytes or serial data. Fast bus
access times and standard control inputs ensure easy interfacing
to modern microprocessors and digital signal processors.
All parts operate from ±5 V power supplies. The AD7870 and
AD7876 accept input signal ranges of ±3 V and ±10 V, respectively, while the AD7875 accepts a unipolar 0 V to +5 V input
range. The parts can convert full power signals up to 50 kHz.
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 feature dc accuracy specifications, such as linearity, full-scale and offset error. In addition,
the AD7870 and AD7875 are fully specified for dynamic
performance parameters including distortion and signal-tonoise ratio.
The parts are available in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch-wide, plastic or
hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP). The AD7870 and AD7875
are available in a 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC),
while the AD7876 is available and in a 24-pin small outline
(SOIC) package.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Complete 12-bit ADC on a chip.
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 provide all the functions
necessary for analog-to-digital conversion and combine a
12-bit ADC with internal clock, track-and-hold amplifier
and reference on a single chip.
2. Dynamic specifications for DSP users.
The AD7870 and AD7875 are fully specified and tested for
ac parameters, including signal-to-noise ratio, harmonic
distortion and intermodulation distortion.
3. Fast microprocessor interface.
Data access times of 57 ns make the parts compatible with
modern 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors and digital signal
processors. Key digital timing parameters are tested and
guaranteed over the full operating temperature range.

CONVERTER DETAILS
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 is a complete 12-bit ADC,
requiring no external components apart from power supply
decoupling capacitors. It is comprised of a 12-bit successive
approximation ADC based on a fast settling voltage output
DAC, a high speed comparator and SAR, a track-and-hold
amplifier, a 3 V buried Zener reference, a clock oscillator,
and control logic.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 have on-chip temperature
compensated buried Zener reference that is factory trimmed
to 3 V ± 10 mV. Internally it provides both the DAC reference
and the dc bias required for bipolar operation (AD7870 and
AD7876). The reference output is available (REF OUT) and
capable of providing up to 500 μA to an external load.
The maximum recommended capacitance on REF OUT for
normal operation is 50 pF. If the reference is required for use
external to the ADC, it should be decoupled with a 200 Ω
resistor in series with a parallel combination of a 10 μF
tantalum capacitor and a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor. These
decoupling components are required to remove voltage
spikes caused by the ADC’s internal operation.

TRACK-AND-HOLD AMPLIFIER
The track-and-hold amplifier on the analog input of the
AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 allows the ADC to accurately
convert input frequencies to 12-bit accuracy. The input
bandwidth of the track-and-hold amplifier is much greater
than the Nyquist rate of the ADC even when the ADC is
operated at its maximum throughput rate. The 0.1 dB cutoff
frequency occurs typically at 500 kHz. The track-and-hold
amplifier acquires an input signal to 12-bit accuracy in less than
2 μs. The overall throughput rate is equal to the conversion time
plus the track-and-hold amplifier acquisition time. For a 2.5 MHz
input clock the throughput rate is 10 μs max.
The operation of the track-and-hold is essentially transparent
to the user. The track-and-hold amplifier goes from its tracking
mode to its hold mode at the start of conversion.

ANALOG INPUT
The three parts differ from each other in the analog input

the input range for the AD7875 is 0 V to +5 V.
Figure 8 shows the AD7870 analog input. The analog input

OFFSET AND FULL-SCALE ADJUSTMENT—
AD7870
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. Some applications will 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.
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 AD7870 while the
input voltage is 1/2 LSB below ground. The trim procedure is as
follows: apply a voltage of −0.73 mV(−1/2 LSB) at V
and adjust the op amp offset voltage until the ADC output code
flickers between 1111 1111 1111 and 0000 0000 0000. 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 (see
Figure 13).

Similar to the AD7870, most of the DSP applications in which

error must be adjusted before full-scale (gain) error. This is
achieved by applying an input voltage of 0.61 mV (1/2 LSB) to

The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 is capable of two basic operating modes. In the first mode (Mode 1), the
used to start conversion and drive the track-and-hold into its
hold mode. At the end of conversion, the track-and-hold returns
to its tracking mode. It is intended principally for digital signal
processing and other applications where precise sampling in
time is required. In these applications, it is important that the
signal sampling occur at exactly equal intervals to minimize
errors due to sampling uncertainty or jitter. For these cases, the

DATA OUTPUT FORMATS
In addition to the two operating modes, the AD7870/AD7875/
AD7876 also offers a choice of three data output formats, one
serial and two parallel. The parallel data formats are a single,
12-bit parallel word for 16-bit data buses and a two-byte format
for 8-bit data buses. The data format is controlled by the 12/
CLK input. A logic high on this pin selects the 12-bit parallel
output format only. A logic low or −5 V applied to this pin
allows the user access to either serial or byte formatted data.
Three of the pins previously assigned to the four MSBs in
parallel form are now used for serial communications while
the fourth pin becomes a control input for the byte-formatted
data. The three possible data output formats can be selected
in either of the modes of operation.
Parallel Output Format
The two parallel formats available on the part are a 12-bit wide
data word and a two-byte data word. In the first format, all
12 bits of data are available at the same time on DB11 (MSB)
through DB0 (LSB). In the second, two reads are required to
access the data. When this data format is selected, the DB11/
HBEN pin assumes the HBEN function. HBEN selects which
byte of data is to be read from the ADC. When HBEN is low,
the lower eight bits of data are placed on the data bus during a
read operation; with HBEN high, the upper four bits of the 12bit word are placed on the data bus. These four bits are right
justified and thereby occupy the lower nibble of data while the
upper nibble contains four zeros.

The serial clock out is derived from the ADC clock source,
which may be internal or external. Normally, SCLK is required
during the serial transmission only. In these cases, it can be shut
down at the end of conversion to allow multiple ADCs to share
a common serial bus. However, some serial systems (such as the
TMS32020) require a serial clock that runs continuously. Both

The Mode 2 timing diagram for byte and serial data is shown in

has to be accessed first since HBEN must be low to start conversion. The ADC behaves like slow memory for this first read,
but the second read to access the upper byte of data is a normal
read. Operation of the serial functions is identical between
Mode 1 and Mode 2. The timing diagram of Figure 17 shows
both a noncontinuously and a continuously running SCLK

DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS
The AD7870 and AD7875 are specified and 100% tested for
dynamic performance specifications as well as traditional dc
specifications such as integral and differential nonlinearity.
Although the AD7876 is not production tested for ac
parameters, its dynamic performance is similar to the AD7870
and AD7875. The ac specifications are required for signal
processing applications such as speech recognition, spectrum
analysis and high speed modems. These applications require
information on the ADC’s effect on the spectral content of the

input signal. Thus, the parameters for which the AD7870 and
AD7875 are 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 (FS/2) excluding dc. SNR is
dependent upon the number of quantization levels used in
the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the
quantization noise. The theoretical signal-to-noise ratio for
a sine wave input is given by
SNR = (6.02N + 1.76) dB (1)
where N is the number of bits. Thus for an ideal 12-bit
converter, SNR = 74 dB.
Note that a sine wave signal is of very low distortion to the V
input which is sampled at a 100 kHz sampling rate. A fast
IN
Page 17
AD7870/AD7875/AD7876
Fourier transform (FFT) plot is generated from which the SNR
data can be obtained. Figure 18 shows a typical 2048 point FFT
plot of the AD7870KN/AD7875KN with an input signal of 25 kHz
and a sampling frequency of 100 kHz. The SNR obtained from
this graph is 72.6 dB. It should be noted that the harmonics are
taken into account when calculating the SNR.

Effective Number of Bits

bits. Rewriting the formula, as in Equation 2, it is possible to get
a measure of performance expressed in effective number of
bits (N).

The effective number of bits for a device can be calculated
directly from its measured SNR.
Figure 19 shows a typical plot of effective number of bits vs.
frequency for an AD7870KN/AD7875KN with a sampling
frequency of 100 kHz. The effective number of bits typically
falls between 11.7 and 11.85 corresponding to SNR figures of
72.2 and 73.1 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the rms
value of the fundamental. For the AD7870/AD7875, THD is
defined as

sixth harmonic. The THD is also derived from the FFT plot of
the ADC output spectrum.
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, and so on. 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).
Using the CCIF standard, where two input frequencies near the
top end of the input bandwidth are used, 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. In this case, the input consists of two, equal amplitude, low
distortion sine waves. Figure 20 shows a typical IMD plot for
the AD7870/AD7875.
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 FS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms 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 the peak is a
noise peak.

AC Linearity Plot
When a sine wave of specified frequency is applied to the VIN
input of the AD7870/AD7875 and several million samples are
taken, a histogram showing the frequency of occurrence of each
of the 4096 ADC codes can be generated. From this histogram
data it is possible to generate an ac integral linearity plot as
shown in Figure 21. This shows very good integral linearity
performance from the AD7870/AD7875 at an input frequency
of 25 kHz. The absence of large spikes in the plot shows good
differential linearity. Simplified versions of the formulae used

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 have a wide variety of
interfacing options. They offer two operating modes and
three data-output formats. Fast data access times allow
direct interfacing to most microprocessors including the
DSP processors.
PARALLEL READ INTERFACING
Figure 22, Figure 23, and Figure 24 show interfaces to the
ADSP-2100, TMS32010 and the TMS32020 DSP processors.
The ADC is operating in Mode 1, parallel read for all three
interfaces. An external timer controls conversion start asynchronously to the microprocessor. At the end of each conversion
BUSY
the ADC
conversion result is read from the ADC with the following
instruction:
ADSP-2100: MR0 = DM(ADC)
TMS32010: IN D,ADC
TMS32020: IN D,ADC
MR0 = ADSP-2100 MR0 Register
D = Data Memory Address
ADC = AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 Address
Some applications may require that conversions be initiated by
the microprocessor rather than an external timer. One option
is to decode the
write operation to the ADC starts a conversion. Data is read at
the end of conversion as described earlier. Note: a read
operation must not be attempted during conversion.

least significant address bit. Conversion start control is provided
by the microprocessor. In this interface example, a Move instruction from the ADC address both starts a conversion and reads
the conversion result.

This is a two-byte read instruction. During the first read
operation
BUSY
, in conjunction with CS, forces the microprocessor to WAIT for the ADC conversion. At the end of
conversion the ADC low byte (DB7 – DB0) is loaded into
D15 – D8 of the D0 register and the ADC high byte (DB15 –
DB7) is loaded into Bits D7 – D0 of the D0 register.
The following rotate instruction to the D0 register swaps the
high and low bytes to the correct format.
R0L = 8, D0.
Note that while executing the two-byte read instruction above,
WAIT states are inserted during the first read operation only
and not for the second.

SERIAL INTERFACING
Figure 26, Figure 27, Figure 28, and Figure 29 show the
AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 configured for serial interfacing. In
all four interfaces, the ADC is configured for Mode 1 operation.
The interfaces show a timer driving the

SCLK, SDAT and
SSTRB
are open-drain outputs. If these are
required to drive capacitive loads in excess 35 pF, buffering is
recommended.
DSP56000 Serial Interface
Figure 26 shows a serial interface between the AD7870/AD7875/
AD7876, and the DSP56000. The interface arrangement is
two-wire with the ADC configured for noncontinuous clock
operation (12/
8
/CLK = 0 V). The DSP56000 is configured
for normal mode asynchronous operation with gated clock.
It is also set up for a 16-bit word with SCK and SC1 as inputs
and the FSL control bit set to a 0. In this configuration, the
DSP56000 assumes valid data on the first falling edge of SCK.
Since the ADC provides valid data on this first edge, there is
no need for a strobe or framing pulse for the data. SCLK and
SDATA are gated off when the ADC is not performing a
CONVST
input, but
Rev. C | Page 20 of 28
conversion. During conversion, data is valid on the SDATA
output of the ADC and is clocked into the receive data shift
register of the DSP56000. When this register has received
16 bits of data, it generates an internal interrupt on the
DSP56000 to read the data from the register.

The DSP56000 and AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 can also be
configured for continuous clock operation (12/
8
/CLK = −5 V).
In this case, a strobe pulse is required by the DSP56000 to
indicate when data is valid. The
SSTRB
output of the ADC
is inverted and applied to the SC1 input of the DSP56000 to
provide this strobe pulse. All other conditions and connections
are the same as for gated clock operation.
NEC7720/77230 Serial Interface
A serial interface between the AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 and
the NEC7720 is shown in Figure 27. In the interface shown, the
ADC is configured for continuous clock operation. This can be
changed to a noncontinuous clock by simply tying the 12/
8
/CLK
input of the ADC to 0 V with all other connections remaining
the same. The NEC7720 expects valid data on the rising edge of
its SCK input and therefore an inverter is required on the SCLK
output of the ADC. The NEC7720 is configured for a 16-bit
data word. Once the 16 bits of data have been received by the SI
register of the NEC7720, an internal interrupt is generated to
read the contents of the SI register.
The NEC77230 interface is similar to that just outlined for the
NEC7720. However, the clock input of the NEC77230 is SICLK.
Additionally, no inverter is required between the ADC SCLK
output and this SICLK input since the NEC77230 assumes data
is valid on the falling edge of SICLK.

AD7876 is configured for continuous clock operation. Note
that the ADC will not interface correctly to the TMS32020 if the
ADC is configured for a noncontinuous clock. Data is clocked
into the data receive register (DRR) of the TMS32020 during
conversion. As with the previous interfaces, when a 16-bit word
is received by the TMS32020 it generates an internal interrupt
to read the data from the DRR.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Good printed circuit board (PCB) layout is as important as
the overall circuit design itself in achieving high speed analogto-digital performance. The designer has to be conscious of
noise both in the ADC itself and in the preceding analog
circuitry. Switching mode power supplies are not recommended
because the switching spikes feed through to the comparator
causing noisy code transitions. Other causes of concern are
ground loops and digital feedthrough from microprocessors.
These are factors which influence any ADC, and a proper
PCB layout which minimizes these effects is essential for best
performance.
LAYOUT HINTS
Ensure that the layout for the printed circuit board has the
digital and analog signal lines separated as much as possible.
Take care not to run any digital track alongside an analog signal
track. Guard (screen) the analog input with AGND.
Establish a single point analog ground (star ground) separate
from the logic system ground at the AGND pin or as close
as possible to the ADC. Connect all other grounds and the
AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 DGND to this single analog
ground point. Do not connect any other digital grounds to
this analog ground point.
Low impedance analog and digital power supply common
returns are essential to low noise operation of the ADC, so
make the foil width for these tracks as wide as possible. The
use of ground planes minimizes impedance paths and also
guards the analog circuitry from digital noise. The circuit
layout has both analog and digital ground planes which are
kept separated and only joined together at the AD7870/
AD7875/AD7876 AGND pin.
NOISE
Keep the input signal leads to VIN and signal return leads from
AGND as short as possible to minimize input noise coupling.
In applications where this is not possible, use a shielded cable
between the source and the ADC. Reduce the ground circuit
impedance as much as possible since any potential difference
in grounds between the signal source and the ADC appears as
an error voltage in series with the input signal.
