GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7952 is a 14-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation register (SAR) architecture analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) fabricated on Analog Devices, Inc.’s iCMOS
high voltage process. The device is configured through hardware or
via a dedicated write-only serial configuration port for input
range and operating mode. The AD7952 contains a high speed
14-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock, an internal
reference (and buffer), error correction circuits, and both serial
and parallel system interface ports. A falling edge on
samples the fully differential analog inputs on IN+ and IN−.
The AD7952 features four different analog input ranges and three
different sampling modes: warp mode for the fastest throughput,
normal mode for the fastest asynchronous throughput, and
impulse mode where power is scaled with throughput.
Operation is specified from −40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Least Significant Bit (LSB)
The least significant bit, or LSB, is the smallest increment that
can be represented by a converter. For a fully differential input
ADC with N bits of resolution, the LSB expressed in volts is
INp-p
VLSB2)(=
N
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code
from a line drawn from negative full scale through positive full
scale. The point used as negative full scale occurs a ½ LSB
before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a
level 1½ LSBs beyond the last code transition. The deviation is
measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It
is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing
codes are guaranteed.
Bipolar Zero Error
The difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (0 V)
and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code.
Unipolar Offset Error
The first transition should occur at a level ½ LSB above analog
ground. The unipolar offset error is the deviation of the actual
transition from that point.
Full-Scale Error
The last transition (from 111…10 to 111…11) should occur for
an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full scale. The fullscale error is the deviation in LSB (or % of full-scale range) of
the actual level of the last transition from the ideal level and
includes the effect of the offset error. Closely related is the gain
error (also in LSB or % of full-scale range), which does not
include the effects of the offset error.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the rms noise measured for an input typically at −60 dB. The
value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD and is expressed in bits by
ENOB = [(SINAD
− 1.76)/6.02]
dB
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance
measured from the falling edge of the
CNVST
input to when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transi ent Res p ons e
The time required for the AD7952 to achieve its rated accuracy
after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.
Reference Voltage Temperature Coefficient
Reference voltage temperature coefficient is derived from the
typical shift of the output voltage at 25°C on a sample of parts at
the maximum and minimum reference output voltage (V )
measured at T, T (25°C), and T. It is expressed in ppm/°C as

OVERVIEW
The AD7952 is a very fast, low power, precise, 14-bit ADC using
successive approximation, capacitive digital-to-analog (CDAC)
converter architecture.
The AD7952 can be configured at any time for one of four input
ranges and conversion mode with inputs in parallel and serial
hardware modes or by a dedicated write-only, SPI-compatible
interface via a configuration register in serial software mode.
The AD7952 uses Analog Devices’ patented iCMOS high
voltage process to accommodate 0 V to +5 V, 0 V to +10 V,
±5 V, and ±10 V input ranges without the use of conventional
thin films. Only one acquisition cycle, t
to latch to the correct configuration. Resetting or power cycling
is not required for reconfiguring the ADC.
The AD7952 features different modes to optimize performance
according to the applications. It is capable of converting
1,000,000 samples per second (1 MSPS) in warp mode, 800 kSPS
in normal mode, and 670 kSPS in impulse mode.
The AD7952 provides the user with an on-chip, track-and-hold,
successive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any
pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple, multiplexed
channel applications.
For unipolar input ranges, the AD7952 typically requires three
supplies: VCC, AVDD (which can supply DVDD), and OVDD
(which can be interfaced to either 5 V, 3.3 V, or 2.5 V digital
logic). For bipolar input ranges, the AD7952 requires the use of
the additional VEE supply.
The device is housed in Pb-free, 48-lead LQFP or tiny,
48-lead LFCSP (7 mm × 7 mm) that combines space savings
with flexibility. In addition, the AD7952 can be configured as
either a parallel or a serial SPI-compatible interface.

CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7952 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC.
schematic of the ADC. The CDAC consists of two identical
arrays of 16 binary weighted capacitors, which are connected
to the two comparator inputs.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to AGND via SW+ and SW−.
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Therefore, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors
and acquire the analog signal on IN+ and IN− inputs. A
conversion phase is initiated once the acquisition phase is
completed and the
conversion phase begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The
two capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and
connected to the REFGND input. Therefore, the differential
voltage between the inputs (IN+ and IN−) captured at the end
of the acquisition phase is applied to the comparator inputs,
causing the comparator to become unbalanced. By switching
each element of the capacitor array between REFGND and REF,
the comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps

MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7952 features three modes of operation: warp, normal,
and impulse. Each of these modes is more suitable to specific
applications. The mode is configured with the input pins, WARP
and IMPULSE, or via the configuration register. See
the pin details and the
Hardware Configuration section and
Software Configuration section for programming the mode
selection with either pins or configuration register. Note that
when using the configuration register, the WARP and IMPULSE
inputs are don’t cares and should be tied to either high or low.
Warp Mode
Setting WARP = high and IMPULSE = low allows the fastest
conversion rate up to 1 MSPS. However, in this mode, the full
specified accuracy is guaranteed only when the time between
conversions does not exceed 1 ms. If the time between two
consecutive conversions is longer than 1 ms (after power-up),
the first conversion result should be ignored because in warp mode,
the ADC performs a background calibration during the SAR
conversion process. This calibration can drift if the time between
conversions exceeds 1 ms, thus causing the first conversion to
appear offset. This mode makes the AD7952 ideal for applications
where both high accuracy and fast sample rate are required.
Normal Mode
Setting WARP = IMPULSE = low or WARP = IMPULSE = high
allows the fastest mode (800 kSPS) without any limitation on
time between conversions. This mode makes the AD7952 ideal
for asynchronous applications, such as data acquisition systems,
where both high accuracy and fast sample rate are required.
Impulse Mode
Setting WARP = low and IMPULSE = high uses the lowest power
dissipation mode and allows power saving between conversions.
The maximum throughput in this mode is 670 kSPS, and in this
mode, the ADC powers down circuits after conversion, making
the AD7952 ideal for battery-powered applications.

programming the mode selection with either pins or the
configuration register. Note that when using the configuration
register, the BIPOLAR and TEN inputs are don’t cares and
should be tied high or low.
Input Structure
Figure 28 shows an equivalent circuit for the input structure of
the AD7952.
The four diodes, D1 to D4, provide ESD protection for the analog
inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog
input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 0.3 V
because this causes the diodes to become forward-biased and to
start conducting current. These diodes can handle a forwardbiased current of 120 mA maximum. For instance, these conditions
could eventually occur when the input buffer’s U1 supplies are
different from AVDD, VCC, and VEE. In such a case, an input
buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used to protect
the part although most op amps’ short-circuit current is <100 mA.
Note that D3 and D4 are only used in the 0 V to 5 V range to
allow for additional protection in applications that are switching
from the higher voltage ranges.
This analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential
signal between IN+ and IN−. By using this differential input,
small signals common to both inputs are rejected as shown in
Figure 29, which represents the typical CMRR over frequency.

the analog inputs, IN+ and IN−, can be modeled as a parallel
combination of Capacitor C

0 V to +5 V range, typically 24 pF in the 0 V to +10 V and ±5 V
ranges, and typically 12 pF in the ±10 V range. During the
conversion phase, when the switches are opened, the input
impedance is limited to C
PIN
.
Because the input impedance of the AD7952 is very high, it
can be directly driven by a low impedance source without gain
error. To further improve the noise filtering achieved by the
AD7952 analog input circuit, an external, 1-pole RC filter
between the amplifier’s outputs and the ADC analog inputs
can be used, as shown in
Figure 27. However, large source
impedances significantly affect the ac performance, especially
THD. The maximum source impedance depends on the
amount of THD that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as
a function of the source impedance and the maximum input
frequency.

AD7952
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
Although the AD7952 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier must
meet the following requirements:
•For multichannel, multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7952 analog input circuit must be
able to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor array at a
14-bit level (0.006%). For the amplifier, settling at 0.1% to
0.01% is more commonly specified. This differs significantly
from the settling time at a 14-bit level and should be
verified prior to driver selection. The
bines ultralow noise and high gain bandwidth and meets
this settling time requirement even when used with gains
of up to 13.
•The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition
noise performance of the AD7952. The noise coming from
the driver is filtered by the external 1-pole, low-pass filter,
as shown in
Figure 27. The SNR degradation due to the

The
almost all applications. The
AD8021 needs a 10 pF external

best SNR.

applications where high frequency performance (above 100 kHz)
is not required. In applications with a gain of 1, an 82 pF
compensation capacitor is required. The
AD8610 is an option
when low bias current is needed in low frequency applications.
Because the AD7952 uses a large geometry, high voltage input
switch, the best linearity performance is obtained when using
the amplifier at its maximum full power bandwidth. Gaining
the amplifier to make use of the more dynamic range of the
ADC results in increased linearity errors. For applications
requiring more resolution, the use of an additional amplifier
with gain should precede a unity follower driving the AD7952.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT/OUTPUT
The AD7952 allows the choice of either a very low temperature
drift internal voltage reference, an external reference, or an
external buffered reference.
The internal reference of the AD7952 provides excellent performance and can be used in almost all applications. However, the
linearity performance is guaranteed only with an external reference.
To use the internal reference, the PDREF and PDBUF inputs
must be low. This enables the on-chip, band gap reference, buffer,
and TEMP sensor, resulting in a 5.00 V reference on the REF pin.
The internal reference is temperature-compensated to 5.000 V
± 35 mV. The reference is trimmed to provide a typical drift of
3 ppm/°C. This typical drift characteristic is shown in
External 2.5 V Reference and Internal Buffer (REF = 5 V,
PDREF = High, PDBUF = Low)
To use an external reference with the internal buffer, PDREF
should be high and PDBUF should be low. This powers down
the internal reference and allows the 2.5 V reference to be applied
to REFBUFIN, producing 5 V on the REF pin. The internal
reference buffer is useful in multiconverter applications because
a buffer is typically required in these applications.
External 5 V Reference (PDREF = High, PDBUF = High)
To use an external reference directly on the REF pin, PDREF
and PDBUF should both be high. PDREF and PDBUF power
down the internal reference and the internal reference buffer,
respectively. For improved drift performance, an external
reference, such as the
ADR445 or the ADR435, is recommended.
Reference Decoupling
Whether using an internal or external reference, the AD7952
voltage reference input (REF) has a dynamic input impedance;
therefore, it should be driven by a low impedance source with
efficient decoupling between the REF and REFGND inputs. This
decoupling depends on the choice of the voltage reference but
usually consists of a low ESR capacitor connected to REF and
REFGND with minimum parasitic inductance. A 22 µF (X5R,
1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor (or 47 µF tantalum capacitor)
is appropriate when using either the internal reference or the
ADR445/ADR435 external reference.
The placement of the reference decoupling is also important to
the performance of the AD7952. The decoupling capacitor should
be mounted on the same side as the ADC, right at the REF pin
with a thick PCB trace. The REFGND should also connect to
the reference decoupling capacitor with the shortest distance
and to the analog ground plane with several vias.
Figure 19.
For applications that use multiple AD7952s or other PulSAR
devices, it is more effective to use the internal reference buffer
to buffer the external 2.5 V reference voltage.
The voltage reference temperature coefficient (TC) directly impacts
full scale; therefore, in applications where full-scale accuracy
matters, care must be taken with the TC. For instance, a
±60 ppm/°C TC of the reference changes full scale by ±1 LSB/°C.
Temperature Sensor
When the internal reference is enabled (PDREF = PDBUF =
low), the on-chip temperature sensor output (TEMP) is enabled
and can be use to measure the temperature of the AD7952. To
improve the calibration accuracy over the temperature range, the
output of the TEMP pin is applied to one of the inputs of the
analog switch (such as
ADG779), and the ADC itself is used to
measure its own temperature. This configuration is shown

POWER SUPPLIES
The AD7952 uses five sets of power supply pins:
AVDD: analog 5 V core supply
•
VCC: analog high voltage, positive supply
•
VEE: high voltage, negative supply
•
DVDD: digital 5 V core supply
•
OVDD: digital input/output interface supply
•
Core Supplies
The AVDD and DVDD supply the AD7952 analog and digital
cores, respectively. Sufficient decoupling of these supplies is
required, consisting of at least a 10 F capacitor and a 100 nF
capacitor on each supply. The 100 nF capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to the AD7952. To reduce the number
of supplies needed, the DVDD can be supplied through a simple
RC filter from the analog supply, as shown in
High Voltage Supplies
The high voltage bipolar supplies, VCC and VEE, are required
and must be at least 2 V larger than the maximum input, V
For example, if using the bipolar 10 V range, the supplies should
be ±12 V minimum. Sufficient decoupling of these supplies is
also required, consisting of at least a 10 F capacitor and a
100 nF capacitor on each supply. For unipolar operation, the
VEE supply can be grounded with some slight THD
performance degradation.
Digital Output Supply
The OVDD supplies the digital outputs and allows direct
interface with any logic working between 2.3 V and 5.25 V.

Power Dissipation vs. Throughput
In impulse mode, the AD7952 automatically reduces its power
consumption at the end of each conversion phase. During the
acquisition phase, the operating currents are very low, which allows
a significant power savings when the conversion rate is reduced
Figure 33). This feature makes the AD7952 ideal for very
(see
low power, battery-operated applications.
It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even
during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital supply
currents even further, drive the digital inputs close to the power
rails (that is, OVDD and OGND).

INTERFACES
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7952 has a versatile digital interface that can be set up
as either a serial or a parallel interface with the host system. The
serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The AD7952
digital interface also accommodates 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic. In
most applications, the OVDD supply pin is connected to the host
system interface 2.5 V to 5.25 V digital supply. Finally, by using

The AD7952 is configured to generate and provide the serial

data clock, SDCLK, when the EXT/
pin is held low. The
AD7952 also generates a SYNC signal to indicate to the host
when the serial data is valid. The SDCLK and the SYNC signals
can be inverted, if desired, using the INVSCLK and INVSYNC
inputs, respectively. Depending on the input, RDC, the data can
be read during the following conversion or after each conversion.
Figure 40 and Figure 41 show detailed timing diagrams of these
two modes.
Read During Convert (RDC = High)
Setting RDC = high allows the master read (previous
conversion result) during conversion mode. Usually, because
the AD7952 is used with a fast throughput, this mode is the
most recommended serial mode. In this mode, the serial clock
and data toggle at appropriate instances, minimizing potential
feedthrough between digital activity and critical conversion
decisions. In this mode, the SDCLK period changes because the
LSBs require more time to settle and the SDCLK is derived
from the SAR conversion cycle. In this mode, the AD7952
generates a discontinuous SDCLK of two different periods and
the host should use an SPI interface.
Read After Convert (RDC = Low, DIVSCLK[1:0] = [0 to 3])
Setting RDC = low allows the read after conversion mode.
Unlike the other serial modes, the BUSY signal returns low
after the 14 data bits are pulsed out and not at the end of the
conversion phase, resulting in a longer BUSY width (refer to
Table 4 for BUSY timing specifications). The DIVSCLK[1:0]
inputs control the SDCLK period and SDOUT data rate. As a
result, the maximum throughput cannot be achieved in this
mode. In this mode, the AD7952 also generates a discontinuous
SDCLK; however, a fixed period and hosts supporting both SPI
and serial ports can also be used.

While the AD7952 is performing a bit decision, it is important
that voltage transients be avoided on digital input/output pins
or degradation of the conversion result may occur. This is
particularly important during the last 450 ns of the conversion
phase because the AD7952 provides error correction circuitry
that can correct for an improper bit decision made during the
first part of the conversion phase. For this reason, it is recommended that any external clock provided is a discontinuous
clock that transitions only when BUSY is low or, more importantly,
that it does not transition during the last 450 ns of BUSY high.

Though the maximum throughput cannot be achieved using
this mode, it is the most recommended of the serial slave modes.

Data is shifted out MSB first with 14 clock pulses and, depending
on the SDCLK frequency, can be valid on the falling and rising
edges of the clock.
One advantage of this method is that conversion performance is
not degraded because there are no voltage transients on the digital
interface during the conversion process. Another advantage is
the ability to read the data at any speed up to 40 MHz, which
accommodates both the slow digital host interface and the fastest
serial reading.
Daisy-Chain Feature
Also in the read after convert mode, the AD7952 provides a
daisy-chain feature for cascading multiple converters together
using the serial data input pin, SDIN. This feature is useful for
reducing component count and wiring connections when
desired, for instance, in isolated multiconverter applications.

of the clock. The 14 bits have to be read before the current
conversion is completed; otherwise, RDERROR is pulsed high
and can be used to interrupt the host interface to prevent
incomplete data reading.
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity,
a fast discontinuous clock of at least 40 MHz is recommended to
ensure that all the bits are read during the first half of the SAR
conversion phase.
The daisy-chain feature should not be used in this mode because
digital activity occurs during the second half of the SAR
conversion phase, likely resulting in performance degradation.

External Clock Data Read After/During Conversion
It is also possible to begin to read data after conversion and
continue to read the last bits after a new conversion is initiated.
This method allows the full throughput and the use of a
slower SDCLK frequency. Again, it is recommended to use a
discontinuous SDCLK whenever possible to minimize potential
incorrect bit decisions. For the different modes, the use of a
slower SDCLK, such as 20 MHz in warp mode, 15 MHz in
normal mode, and 13 MHz in impulse mode can be used.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The AD7952 can be configured at any time with the dedicated
hardware pins WARP, IMPULSE, BIPOLAR, TEN, OB/
PD for parallel mode (SER/
PA R
(SER/
= high, HW/SW = high). Programming the AD7952
PA R
= low) or serial hardware mode
2C
, and
for mode selection and input range configuration can be done
before or during conversion. Like the RESET input, the ADC
requires at least one acquisition time to settle, as shown in
Figure 45. See Table 6 for pin descriptions. Note that these
inputs are high impedance when using the software
configuration mode.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
The pins multiplexed on D[13:10] used for software configura-
SW
tion are: HW/
, SCIN, SCCLK, and
programmed using the dedicated write-only serial configurable
port (SCP) for conversion mode, input range selection, output
coding, and power-down using the serial configuration register.
See
Table 10 for details of each bit in the configuration register.
The SCP can only be used in serial software mode selected with
PA R
SER/
= high and HW/SW = low because the port is
multiplexed on the parallel interface.
The SCP is accessed by asserting the port’s chip select,
and then writing SCIN synchronized with SCCLK, which (like
SDCLK) is edge sensitive depending on the state of INVSCLK.
See
Figure 46 for timing details. SCIN is clocked into the configuration register MSB first. The configuration register is an
internal shift register that begins with Bit 8, the START bit. The
th
SPPCLK edge updates the register and allows the new settings to
9
be used. As indicated in the timing diagram, at least one acquisition
th
time is required from the 9
SCCLK edge. Bits [1:0] are reserved
bits and are not written to while the SCP is being updated.
The SCP can be written to at any time, up to 40 MHz, and it is
recommended to write to while the AD7952 is not busy
converting, as detailed in
Figure 46. In this mode, the full
1 MSPS is not attainable because the time required for SCP access

it is not recommended to write to the SCP during the last 450 ns
of conversion (BUSY = high), or performance degradation can
result. In addition, the SCP can be accessed in both serial master
and serial slave read during and read after convert modes.
Note that at power-up, the configuration register is undefined.
The RESET input clears the configuration register (sets all bits
to 0), thus placing the configuration to 0 V to 5 V input, normal
mode, and twos complemented output.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7952 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor and ac signal
processing applications interfacing to a digital signal processor.
The AD7952 is designed to interface with a parallel 8-bit or
14-bit wide interface, or with a general-purpose serial port or
I/O ports on a microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can
be used with the AD7952 to prevent digital noise from coupling
into the ADC.
SPI Interface
The AD7952 is compatible with SPI and QSPI digital hosts and
DSPs, such as Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x and ADSP-218x/ADSP-219x.
Figure 47 shows an interface diagram between the AD7952 and
the SPI-equipped ADSP-219x. To accommodate the slower
speed of the DSP, the AD7952 acts as a slave device, and data must
be read after conversion. This mode also allows the daisy-chain
feature. The convert command could be initiated in response to
an internal timer interrupt.
t

OB/2C
WAR PTEN

The reading process can be initiated in response to the end-ofconversion signal (BUSY going low) using an interrupt line of
the DSP. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) on the ADSP-219x
is configured for master mode (MSTR) = 1, clock polarity bit
(CPOL) = 0, clock phase bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI interrupt enable
(TIMOD) = 0 by writing to the SPI control register (SPICLTx).
It should be noted that to meet all timing requirements, the SPI
clock should be limited to 17 Mbps, allowing it to read an ADC
result in less than 1 µs. When a higher sampling rate is desired,
use one of the parallel interface modes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
While the AD7952 has very good immunity to noise on the
power supplies, exercise care with the grounding layout. To
facilitate the use of ground planes that can be easily separated,
design the printed circuit board that houses the AD7952 so that
the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. Digital and analog ground planes
should be joined in only one place, preferably underneath the
AD7952, or as close as possible to the AD7952. If the AD7952 is
in a system where multiple devices require analog-to-digital
ground connections, the connections should still be made at
one point only, a star ground point, established as close as possible
to the AD7952.
To prevent coupling noise onto the die, to avoid radiating noise,
and to reduce feedthrough:
Do not run digital lines under the device.
•
•
Do run the analog ground plane under the AD7952.
• Shield fast switching signals, like
digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of
the board, and never run them near analog signal paths.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
•
•
Run traces on different but close layers of the board, at right
angles to each other, to reduce the effect of feedthrough through
the board.
The power supply lines to the AD7952 should use as large a trace as
possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect of
glitches on the power supply lines. Good decoupling is also
important to lower the impedance of the supplies presented to
the AD7952, and to reduce the magnitude of the supply spikes.
Decoupled ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should be placed
on each of the power supplies pins, AVDD, DVDD, OVDD,
VCC, and VEE. The capacitors should be placed close to, and
ideally right up against, these pins and their corresponding ground
pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 µF capacitors should be located
in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce low frequency ripple.
CNVST
or clocks, with
The DVDD supply of the AD7952 can either be a separate supply
or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the digital
interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply is noisy,
or fast switching digital signals are present, and no separate supply
is available, it is recommended to connect the DVDD digital supply
to the analog supply AVDD through an RC filter, and to connect
the system supply to the interface digital supply OVDD and the
remaining digital circuitry. See
configuration. When DVDD is powered from the system supply,
it is useful to insert a bead to further reduce high frequency spikes.
The AD7952 has four different ground pins: REFGND, AGND,
DGND, and OGND.
REFGND senses the reference voltage and, because it carries
•
pulsed currents, should be a low impedance return to the
reference.
•
AGND is the ground to which most internal ADC analog
signals are referenced; it must be connected with the least
resistance to the analog ground plane.
DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane
•
depending on the configuration.
OGND is connected to the digital system ground.
•
The layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is important.
To minimize parasitic inductances, place the decoupling capacitor
close to the ADC and connect it with short, thick traces.
