Applications Information (Continued)
Overshoot and ringing can be reduced by adding a series
damping resistor between the crystal oscillator’s output (pin
8) and the ADC16071/ADC16471’s CLK (pin 12), as shown
in
Figure 7.
The actual resistor value is dependent on the
board layout and trace length that connects the oscillator or
CLK source to the ADC. A typical starting value is 50X with
a range of 27X to 150X.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADC16071 and the ADC16471 have three serial interface output pins: Serial Data Output (SDO), Frame Sync
Output (FSO), and Serial Clock Output (SCO). SCO has a
frequency of f
CLK
/4. Each of the ADC16071/ADC16471’s
16-bit conversions is transmitted within the first half of the
data transmission frame. A data transmission frame is 32
SCO cycles in duration. Two’s complement data shifts out
on the SDO pin beginning with bit 15 (MSB) and ending with
bit 0 (LSB), taking 16 SCO cycles. SDO then shifts out
zeroes for the next 16 SCO cycles to maintain compatibility
with two channel multiplexed operation.
The serial data that is shifted out of the SDO pin is synchronous with SCO. Depending on the logic level applied to the
Serial Format pin (SFMT), the data on the SDO pin is valid
on either the falling or rising edge of SCO. If a logic Low is
applied to SFMT, then the data on SDO is valid on the falling edge of SCO. If a logic High is applied to SFMT, then
the data on SDO is valid on the rising edge of SCO. See
Figure 2
.
The FSO signal is used to synchronize other devices to the
ADC16071/ADC16471’s data transmission frame. Depending on the logic level applied to SFMT, the signal on FSO is
either a short pulse (approximately one SCO cycle in duration) ending just before the transmission of bit 15 on SDO,
or a square wave with a period of 32 SCO cycles going low
just before the transmission of bit 15 and going high just
after the transmission of bit 0. If a logic Low is applied to
SFMT, FSO will be high for approximately one SCO cycle
and fall low just before the transmission of bit 15 and stay
low for the remainder of the transmission frame. If a logic
High is applied to SFMT, FSO will be low during the transmission of bits 15 – 0 and high during the next 16 SCO cycles. See
Figure 3
.
The Frame Sync Input (FSI), is used to synchronize the
ADC16071/ADC16471’s conversions to an external source.
The logic state of FSI is captured by the ADC16071/
ADC16471 on the falling edge of CLK.IfanFSI low to high
transition is sensed between adjacent CLK falling edges,
the ADC16071/ADC16471 will interrupt its current data
transmission frame and begin a new one. See
Figure 4
.
Due to the data latency of the ADC16071/ADC16471’s digital filters, the first 31 conversions following a frame sync
input signal will represent inaccurate data, unless the frame
syncs are applied at constant 32 SCO cycle intervals. If no
FSI signal is applied (FSI is kept High or Low), the
ADC16071/ADC16471 will internally create a frame sync
every 32 SCO cycles.
The Data Output Enable pin (DOE), is used to enable and
disable the output of data on SDO. When DOE is deactivated, SDO stops driving the serial data line by entering a high
impedance TRI-STATE. DOE’s active state matches the
logic level applied to the Time Slot Input pin (TSI). If a logic
Low is applied to TSI, the ADC16071/ADC16471’s SDO pin
will shift out data when DOE is Low, and be in a high impedance TRI-STATE when DOE is High. If a logic High is applied to TSI, SDO will shift out data when DOE is High, and
be in a high impedance TRI-STATE when DOE is Low.
TWO CHANNEL MULTIPLEXED OPERATION
Two ADC16071/ADC16471’s can easily be configured to
share a single serial data line and operate in a ‘‘stereo’’, or
two channel multiplexed mode. They share the serial data
bus by alternating transmission of conversion data on their
respective SDO pins. One of the ADC16071/ADC16471’s,
the Master, shifts its conversion data out of SDO during the
first 16 SCO cycles of the data transmission frame. The
other ADC16071/ADC16471, the Slave, shifts its data out
during the second 16 SCO cycles of the data transmission
frame.
The Slave is selected by applying a logic High to its TSI pin
and a logic High to its SFMT pin. The Master is chosen by
applying a logic Low to its TSI pin and a logic High to its
SFMT pin. As shown in
Figure 8
, the Master’s FSO is used
to control the DOE of both the Master and the Slave as well
as to synchronize the two ADC16071/ADC16471’s by driving the Slave’s Frame Sync Input pin, FSI. As the Master
finishes transmitting its 16 bits of conversion data, its FSO
goes High. This triggers the Slave’s FSI, causing the Slave
to begin transmitting its 16 bits of conversion data.
The Master’s DOE is active Low and the Slave’s DOE is
active High. Since the same signal, the Master’s FSO,is
connected to both of the converters’ DOE pins, one converter will shift out data on its SDO pin while the other is in
TRI-STATE, allowing the two ADC16071/ADC16471’s to
share the same serial data transmission line.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUNDING
The ADC16071/ADC16471 has on-chip 50 pF bypass capacitors between the supply-pin bonding pads and their corresponding grounds. There are 24 of these capacitors, 6 for
the analog section and 18 for the digital, resulting in a total
value of 1200 pF. They help control ringing on the on-chip
power supply busses, especially in the digital section. Further, they help enhance the baseband noise performance of
the analog modulator.
