GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 are, respectively, 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit, high speed, low power, 8-channel, successive approximation ADCs. The parts operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and feature throughput rates up to 1 MSPS. The parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input frequencies in excess of 8 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using CS
and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.

Measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.4 V or 0.7 × V

t8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then extrapolated
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t8, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

ESD CAUTION

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 this product 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.

TERMINOLOGY

Integral Nonlinearity Negative Gain Error Match
This is 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, a position 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a position 1 LSB above the last code transition.
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Offset Error
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to (00 . . . 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.
Offset Error Match
This is the difference in offset error between any two channels.
Gain Error
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to (111 . . . 111) from the ideal (that is, REF offset error has been adjusted out.

This is the difference in negative gain error between any two channels.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a full­scale 400 kHz sine wave signal to all seven nonselected input channels and determining how much that signal is attenuated in the selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. The figure is given worst case across all eight channels for the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition, but not the converter’s linearity. 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 Performance Curves section).
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end of conversion. 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 conversion.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) 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 dependent on 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 a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB; for a 10-bit converter, this is 62 dB; and 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 AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928, it is defined as:

CONTROL REGISTER

The control register on the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is a 12-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 on the falling edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time that the conversion result is read from the part. The data transferred on the DIN line corresponds to the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 configuration for the next conversion. This requires 16 serial clocks for every data transfer. Only the information provided on the first 12 falling clock edges (after CS

The value written to this bit of the control register determines whether or not the following 11 bits are loaded to the control register. If this bit is a 1, the following 11 bits are written to the control register; if it is a 0, the remaining 11 bits are not loaded to the control register, and it remains unchanged.
The SEQ bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the SHADOW bit to control the use of the sequencer function and access the SHADOW register (see the SHADOW register bit map).
These three address bits are loaded at the end of the present conversion sequence and select which analog input channel is to be converted in the next serial transfer, or they can select the final channel in a consecutive sequence as described in Table 10. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 8. The address bits corresponding to the conversion result are also output on DOUT prior to the 12 bits of data, see the Serial Interface section. The next channel to be converted on is selected by the mux on the 14th SCLK falling edge.
Power Management Bits. These two bits decode the mode of operation of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 as shown in Table 9.
The SHADOW bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the SEQ bit to control the use of the sequencer function and access the SHADOW register (see Table 10).
This bit selects the analog input range to be used on the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928. If it is set to 0, the analog input range extends from 0 V to 2 × REF conversion). For 0 V to 2 × REF
This bit selects the type of output coding the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 uses for the conversion result. If this bit is set to 0, the output coding for the part is twos complement. If this bit is set to 1, the output coding from the part is straight binary (for the next conversion).

SEQUENCER OPERATION

The configuration of the SEQ and SHADOW bits in the control register allows the user to select a particular mode of operation of the sequencer function. Tabl e 10 outlines the four modes of operation of the sequencer.

Normal Operation. In this mode, the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 remain in full power mode regardless of the status of any of the logic inputs. This mode allows the fastest possible throughput rate from the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928.
Full Shutdown. In this mode, the AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928 is in full shutdown mode with all circuitry powering down. The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 retains the information in the control register while in full shutdown. The part remains in full shutdown until these bits are changed.
Auto Shutdown. In this mode, the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 automatically enters full shutdown mode at the end of each conversion when the control register is updated. Wake-up time from full shutdown is 1 μs and the user should ensure that 1 μs has elapsed before attempting to perform a valid conversion on the part in this mode.
This configuration means that the sequence function is not used. The analog input channel selected for each individual conversion is determined by the contents of the ADD0 through ADD2 channel address bits in each prior write operation. This mode of operation reflects the traditional operation of a multichannel ADC, without the sequencer function being used, where each write to the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 selects the next channel for conversion (see Figure 11).
This configuration selects the SHADOW register for programming. The following write operation loads the contents of the SHADOW register. This programs the sequence of channels to be converted on continuously with each successive
falling edge (see the section, SHADOW register bit map, and ). The channels
valid CS selected need not be consecutive.
If the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set in this way, then the sequence functions are not interrupted upon completion of the write operation. This allows other bits in the control register to be altered between conversions while in a sequence, without terminating the cycle.
This configuration is used in conjunction with the ADD2 to ADD0 channel address bits to program continuous conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels from Channel 0 to a selected final channel as determined by the channel address bits in the control register (see Figure 13).

Sequence One Sequence Two
The SHADOW register on the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is a 16-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 on the falling edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time that a conversion result is read from the part. This requires 16 serial clock falling edges for the data transfer. The information is clocked into the SHADOW register, provided that the SEQ and SHADOW bits were set to 0,1, respectively, in the previous write to the control register. MSB denotes the first bit in the data stream. Each bit represents an analog input from Channel 0 to Channel 7. Through programming the SHADOW register, two sequences of channels can be selected, through which the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 cycle with each consecutive conversion after the write to the SHADOW register.
Sequence One is performed first and then Sequence Two. If the user does not wish to perform a second sequence option, then all 0s must be written to the last 8 LSBs of the SHADOW register. To select a sequence of channels, the associated channel bit must be set for each analog input. The AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928 continuously cycle through the selected channels in ascending order beginning with the lowest channel, until a write operation occurs (that is, the WRITE bit is set to 1) with the SEQ and SHADOW bits configured in any way except 1, 0, (see Tabl e 10 ). The bit functions are outlined in the SHADOW register bit map.
Figure 11 reflects the traditional operation of a multichannel ADC, where each serial transfer selects the next channel for conversion. In this mode of operation the sequencer function is not used.
Figure 12 shows how to program the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 to continuously convert on a particular sequence of channels. To exit this mode of operation and revert back to the traditional mode of operation of a multichannel ADC (as outlined in Figure 11), ensure that the WRITE bit = 1 and the SEQ = SHADOW = 0 on the next serial transfer. Figure 13 shows how a sequence of consecutive channels can be converted on without having to program the SHADOW register or write to the part on each serial transfer. Again, to exit this mode of operation and revert back to the traditional mode of operation of a multichannel ADC (as outlined in Figure 11), ensure the WRITE bit = 1 and the SEQ = SHADOW = 0 on the next serial transfer.

When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 15), SW2 opens and SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. The control logic and the capacitive DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the ADC transfer functions.

Analog Input

Figure 16 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928. 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 300 mV. This causes these diodes to become forward biased and start conducting current into the substrate. 10 mA is the maximum current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part. The Capacitor C1 in Figure 16 is typically about 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on resistance of the track­and-hold switch and also includes the on resistance of the input multiplexer. The total resistance is typically about 400 Ω. The Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and has a capacitance of 30 pF typically. For ac applications, removing high frequency components from the analog input signal is recommended by use of an RC lowpass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where harmonic distortion
Page 19
AD7908/AD7918/AD7928
www.BDTIC.com/ADI
and signal-to-noise ratio are critical, the analog input should be driven from a low impedance source. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC. This can necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function of the particular application.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as the source impedance increases, and performance degrades (see Figure 8).

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION

The output coding of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is either straight binary or twos complement, depending on the status of the LSB in the control register. The designed code transitions occur at successive LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on). The LSB size is REF the AD7918, and REF characteristic for the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 when straight binary coding is selected is shown in Figure 17, and the ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 when twos complement coding is selected is shown in Figure 18.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Figure 20 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928. In this setup, the AGND pin is connected to the analog ground plane of the system. In Figure 20, REF
is connected to a decoupled 2.5 V supply from a reference
IN
source, the AD780, to provide an analog input range of 0 V to
2.5 V (if RANGE bit is 1) or 0 V to 5 V (if RANGE bit is 0). Although the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is connected to a V of 5 V, the serial interface is connected to a 3 V microprocessor. The V
pin of the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928 is connected
DRIVE
to the same 3 V supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3 V logic interface (see the Digital Inputs section). The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word. This 16-bit data stream consists of a leading zero, three address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of conversion data for the AD7928 (10 bits of data for the AD7918 and 8 bits of data for the AD7908, each followed by two and four trailing zeros, respectively). For applications where power consumption is of concern, the power-down modes should be used between conversions or bursts of several conversions to improve power performance (see the Modes of Operation section).

Analog Input Selection

Any one of eight analog input channels can be selected for conversion by programming the multiplexer with the Address Bit ADD2 to Address Bit ADD0 in the control register. The channel configurations are shown in Tab le 8 . The AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928 can also be configured to automatically cycle through a number of channels as selected. The sequencer feature is accessed via the SEQ and SHADOW bits in the control register (see Ta ble 1 0).
The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 can be programmed to continuously convert on a selection of channels in ascending order. The analog input channels to be converted on are selected through programming the relevant bits in the SHADOW register (see the SHADOW Register section). The next serial transfer then acts on the sequence programmed by executing a conversion on the lowest channel in the selection. The next serial transfer results in a conversion on the next highest channel in the sequence, and so on.
It is not necessary to write to the control register once a sequencer operation has been initiated. The WRITE bit must be set to zero or the DIN line tied low to ensure the control register is not accidentally overwritten, or the sequence operation interrupted. If the control register is written to at any time
Rev. C | Page 20 of 28
Rather than selecting a particular sequence of channels, a number of consecutive channels beginning with Channel 0 can
03089-020
also be programmed via the control register alone, without needing to write to the SHADOW register. This is possible if the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set to 1,1. The channel address bits ADD2 through ADD0 then determine the final channel in the consecutive sequence. The next conversion is on Channel 0, then Channel 1, and so on until the channel selected via the address bits ADD2 through ADD0 is reached. The cycle begins again on the next serial transfer, provided the WRITE bit is set to low, or if high, that the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set to 1, 0; then the ADC continues its preprogrammed automatic sequence uninterrupted.
Regardless of which channel selection method is used, the 16-bit word output from the AD7928 during each conversion always contains a leading zero, three channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12-bit conversion result. The AD7918 outputs a leading zero, three channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 10-bit conversion result and two trailing zeros; the AD7908 outputs a leading zero, three channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 8-bit conversion result and four trailing zeros. (See the
Serial
Interface section.)

Digital Inputs

Reference

An external reference source should be used to supply the 2.5 V reference to the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928. Errors in the reference source results in gain errors in the AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928 transfer function and adds to the specified full-scale errors of the part. A capacitor of at least 0.1 μF should be placed on the REF
pin. Suitable reference sources for the

AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 include the AD780, REF192, AD1582, ADR03, ADR381, ADR391, and ADR421.
If 2.5 V is applied to the REF
pin, the analog input range can

either be 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, depending on the setting of the RANGE bit in the control register.

MODES OF OPERATION

The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 have a number of different modes of operation. These modes are designed to provide flexible power management options. These options can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for differing application requirements. The mode of operation of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is controlled by the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the control register, as detailed in Tab le 9 . When power supplies are first applied to the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928, care should be taken to ensure that the part is placed in the required mode of operation (see Powering Up the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 section).

Normal Mode (PM1 = PM0 = 1)

This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance, as the user does not have to worry about any power-up times with the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 remaining fully powered at all times. Figure 21 shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 in this mode.
Rev. C | Page 21 of 28
The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of track-and-hold enters hold mode as described in the Interface
section. The data presented to the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928 on the DIN line during the first 12 clock cycles of the data transfer are loaded into the control register (provided WRITE bit is set to 1). If data is to be written to the SHADOW register (SEQ = 0, SHADOW = 1 on previous write), data presented on the DIN line during the first 16 SCLK cycles is loaded into the SHADOW register. The part remains fully powered up in normal mode at the end of the conversion as long as PM1 and PM0 are both loaded with 1 on every data transfer.
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access the conversion result. The track-and­hold goes back into track on the 14th SCLK falling edge. then idle high until the next conversion or can idle low until sometime prior to the next conversion, effectively idling

Full Shutdown Mode (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)

In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928 is powered down. The part retains information in the control register during full shutdown. The AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928 remains in full shutdown until the power management bits in the control register, PM1 and PM0, are changed.
If a write to the control register occurs while the part is in full shutdown, with the power management bits changed to PM0 = PM1 = 1, normal mode, the part begins to power up on the rising edge.

When running the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 with a 20 MHz clock, one dummy cycle should be sufficient to ensure the part is fully powered up. During this dummy cycle the contents of the control register should remain unchanged; therefore the WRITE bit should be 0 on the DIN line. This dummy cycle effectively halves the throughput rate of the part, with every
other conversion result being valid. In this mode, the power consumption of the part is greatly reduced with the part entering shutdown at the end of each conversion. When the control register is programmed to move into auto shutdown, it does so at the end of the conversion. The user can move the ADC in and out of the low power state by controlling the
CS
signal.

Powering Up the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928

When supplies are first applied to the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928, the ADC can power up in any of the operating modes of the part. To ensure the part is placed into the required operating mode, the user should perform a dummy cycle operation as outlined in Figure 24.

POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE

By operating in auto shutdown mode on the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928, the average power consumption of the ADC decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 25 shows how as the throughput rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown state longer and the average power consumption over time drops accordingly.
For example, if the AD7928 is operated in a continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and an SCLK of 20 MHz (AV shutdown mode, that is, if PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1, then the power consumption is calculated as follows:
The maximum power dissipation during normal operation is

DD
shutdown is one dummy cycle, that is, 1 μs, and the remaining conversion time is another cycle, that is, 1 μs, then the AD7928 can be said to dissipate 13.5 mW for 2 μs during each conversion cycle. For the remainder of the conversion cycle, 8 μs, the part remains in auto shutdown mode. The AD7928 can be said to dissipate 2.5 μW for the remaining 8 μs of the conversion cycle. If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 μs and the average power dissipated during each cycle is
(2/10) × (13.5 mW) + (8 / 10) × (2.5 μW) = 2.702 mW

SERIAL INTERFACE

Figure 26, Figure 27, and Figure 28 show the detailed timing diagrams for serial interfacing to the AD7908, AD7918, and AD7928, respectively. The serial clock provides the conversion clock and also controls the transfer of information to and from the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 during each conversion.

The
signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process. The falling edge of takes the bus out of three-state; the analog input is sampled at
this point. The conversion is also initiated at this point and requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. The track-and-hold goes back into track on the 14th SCLK falling edge as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 Figure 28

The three remaining address bits and data bits are then clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling edges beginning with the first address bit (ADD2). Thus the first falling clock edge on the serial clock has a leading zero provided and also clocks out Address Bit ADD2. The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the 16th falling edge, having been clocked out on the previous (15th) falling edge.
Writing of information to the control register takes place on the first 12 falling edges of SCLK in a data transfer, assuming the MSB, that is, the WRITE bit, has been set to 1. If the control register is programmed to use the SHADOW register, then writing of information to the SHADOW register takes place on all 16 SCLK falling edges in the next serial transfer, as shown for example on the AD7928 in Figure 29. Two sequence options can be programmed in the SHADOW register. If the user does not want to program a second sequence, then the eight LSBs should be filled with zeros. The SHADOW register is updated upon the rising edge of track the first channel selected in the sequence.
The AD7908 outputs a leading zero and three channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 8-bit conversion result and four trailing zeros. The AD7918 outputs a leading zero and three channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 10-bit conversion result and two trailing zeros. The 16-bit word read from the AD7928 always contains a leading zero and three channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12-bit conversion result.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING

The serial interface on the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 allows the part to be directly connected to a range of many different microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 with some of the more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.

AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 to TMS320C541

The serial interface on the TMS320C541 uses a continuous serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize the data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928. The interfacing between the TMS320C541 and the AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928 without any glue logic required. The serial port of the TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode with internal CLKX0 (Tx serial clock on Serial Port 0) and FSX0 (Tx frame sync from Serial Port 0). The serial port control register (SPC) must have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM = 1, and TXM = 1. The connection diagram is shown in . It should be noted that for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the TMS320C541 provides equidistant sampling. The V the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 takes the same supply voltage as that of the TMS320C541. This allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, TMS320C541, if necessary.

AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 to ADSP-21xx

The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs are interfaced directly to the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 without any glue logic required. The V
pin of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 takes the same
DRIVE
supply voltage as that of the ADSP-21xx. This allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, ADSP-21xx, if necessary.
The SPORT0 control register should be set up as follows:
TFSW = RFSW = 1, alternate framing INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, active low frame signal DTYPE = 00, right justify data SLEN = 1111, 16-bit data-words ISCLK = 1, internal serial clock TFSR = RFSR = 1, frame every word IRFS = 0 ITFS = 1
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 31. The ADSP-21xx has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in alternate framing mode and the SPORT control register is set up as described. The frame synchronization signal generated on the TFS is tied to
CS
, as with all signal processing applications where equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC, and under certain conditions equidistant sampling cannot be achieved.

The timer register, for example, is loaded with a value that provides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and thus the reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given (that is, AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high before transmission can start. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen, such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near
03089-030
the rising edge of SCLK, then the data can be transmitted or it can wait until the next clock edge.
For example, if the ADSP-2189 had a 20 MHz crystal such that it had a master clock frequency of 40 MHz, then the master cycle time would be 25 ns. If the SCLKDIV register was loaded with the value 3, then an SCLK of 5 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock periods elapse for every one SCLK period. Depending on the throughput rate selected, if the timer register is loaded with the value, say 803 (803 + 1 = 804), 100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit instructions. This situation results in nonequidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is occurring on a SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer figure of N, then equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP.

AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 to DSP563xx

The connection diagram in Figure 32 shows how the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 can be connected to the synchronous serial interface (ESSI) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs from Motorola. Each ESSI (two on board) is operated in synchronous mode (SYN bit in CRB = 1) with internally generated word length frame sync for both Tx and Rx (Bit FSL1 = 0 and Bit FSL0 = 0 in CRB). Normal operation of the ESSI is selected by making MOD = 0 in the CRB. Set the word length to 16 by setting Bit WL1 = 1 and Bit WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP bit in the CRB should be set to 1 so the frame sync is negative. It should be noted that for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provides equidistant sampling.

In the example shown in Figure 32, the serial clock is taken from the ESSI so the SCK0 pin must be set as an output, SCKD = 1. The V
pin of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 takes the
DRIVE
same supply voltage as that of the DSP563xx. This allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, DSP563xx, if necessary.

APPLICATION HINTS

Grounding and Layout

The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 have very good immunity to noise on the power supplies, as can be seen by the PSRR vs. Supply Ripple Frequency plot, Figure 6. However, care should still be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928 should be designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be separated easily. A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes as it gives the best shielding.
All four AGND pins of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 should be sunk in the AGND plane. If the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND to DGND connection, the connection should be made at only one point in the plane. Using a star ground point, the connection should be established as close as possible to the AD7908/ AD7918/AD7928.
Avoid running digital lines under the device, as these couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7908/AD7918/ AD7928 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power
supply line. Fast switching signals, like clocks, should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals should never be run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best, but is not always possible with a double sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to
03089-032
ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 μF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best performance from these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. The
0.1 μF capacitors should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and effective series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types or surface mount types, which provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic switching.

Evaluating the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 Performance

The recommended layout for the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is outlined in the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 evaluation board. The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for controlling the board from the PC via the eval-board controller.
The eval-board controller can be used in conjunction with the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 evaluation board, as well as many other Analog Devices evaluation boards ending in the CB designator, to demonstrate/evaluate the ac and dc performance of the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928.
The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928. The software and documentation are on a CD shipped with the evaluation board.
