Multiplexer
ADC08061/ADC08062 500 ns A/D Converter with S/H Function and Input Multiplexer
June 1999
General Description
Using a patented multi-step A/D conversion technique, the
8-bit ADC08061 and ADC08062 CMOS ADCs offer 500 ns
(typ) conversion time, internal sample-and-hold (S/H), and
dissipate only 125 mW of power. The ADC08062 has a
two-channel multiplexer. The ADC08061/2 family performs
an 8-bit conversion using a 2-bit voltage estimator that generates the 2 MSBs andtwo low-resolution (3-bit) flashes that
generate the 6 LSBs.
Input track-and-hold circuitry eliminates the need for an external sample-and-hold. The ADC08061/2 family performs
accurate conversions of full-scale input signals that have a
frequency range of DC to 300 kHz (full-power bandwidth)
without need of an external S/H.
The digital interface has been designed to ease connection
to microprocessors and allows theparts to be I/O or memory
mapped.

analog-to-digital conversion using a multi-step flash technique. The first flash generates the five most significant bits

MSB Ladder section to the eight flash comparators. Only 14
comparators, six in the Voltage Estimator and eight in the
flash converter, are needed to achieve the full eight-bit resolution, instead of 32 comparators that would be needed by
traditional half-flash methods.

A conversion begins with the Voltage Estimator comparing
the analog input signal against the six tap voltages on the estimator DAC. The estimator decoder then selects one of the
groups of tap points along the MSB Ladder.These eight tap
points are then connected to the eight flash comparators.

the five MSBs is subtracted from the analog input voltage as
the upper switch is moved from position one to position two.
The resulting remainder voltage is applied to the eight flash
comparators and, with the lower switch in position two, compared with the eight tap points from the LSB Ladder.
By using the same eight comparators for both flash conversions, the number of comparators needed by the multi-step
converter is significantly reduced when compared to standard half-flash techniques.
Voltage Estimator errors as large as 1/16 of V

2.0 DIGITAL INTERFACE
The ADC08061/2 has two basic interface modes which are
selected by connecting the MODE pin to a logic high or low.
2.1 RD Mode
With a logic low applied to the MODE pin, the converter is set
to Read mode. In this configuration (see
plete version is done by pulling RD low, and holding low, until
the conversion is complete and output data appears. This
typically takes 655 ns. The INT (interrupt) line goes low at
the end of conversion.A typical delay of 50 ns is needed between the rising edge of RD (after the end of a conversion)
and the start of the next conversion (by pulling RD low).The
RDY output goes low after the falling edge of CS and goes
high at the end-of-conversion. It can be used to signala processor that the converter is busy or serve as a system Transfer Acknowledge signal. For the ADC08062 the data generated by the first conversion cycle after power-up is from an
unknown channel.
2.2 RD Mode Pipelined Operation
Applications that requireshorter RD pulse widths than those
used in the Read mode as described abovecan be achieved
by setting RD’s width between 200 ns–400 ns (

pulse widths outside this range will create conversion linearity errors. These errors are caused by exercising internal interface logic circuitry using CS and/or RD during a conversion.
When RD goes low, a conversion is initiated and the data
from the previous conversion is available on the DB0–DB7
outputs. Reading D0–D7 for the first two times after
power-up produces random data. The data will be valid during the third RD pulse that occurs after the first conversion.
2.3 WR-RD (WR then RD) Mode
The ADC08061/2 is in the WR-RD mode with the MODE pin
tied high. A conversion starts on the falling edge of the WR
signal. There are two options for reading the output data
which relate to interface timing. Ifan interrupt-driven scheme
is desired, the user can wait for the INT output to go low before reading the conversion result (see
Figure 3
). Typically,
INT will go low 520 ns, maximum, after WR ’s rising edge.
However, if a shorter conversion time is desired, the processor need not wait for INT and can exercise a read after only
350 ns (see
Figure 2
). If RD is pulled low before INT goes
low, INT will immediately go low and data will appear at the
outputs. This is the fastest operating mode (tRD≤ t
a conversion time,including data access time, of 560 ns. Al-
INTL
) with
lowing 100 ns for reading the conversion data and the delay
between conversions gives a total throughput time of 660 ns
(throughput rate of 1.5 MHz).
2.4 WR-RD Mode with Reduced Interface
System Connection
CS and RD can be tied low, using only WR to control the
start of conversionfor applications that require reduced digital interface while operating in the WR-RD mode (
Figure 4
Data will be valid approximately 705 ns following WR ’s rising edge.
2.5 Multiplexer Addressing
The ADC08062 has 2 multiplexer inputs. These are selected
using the A0 multiplexer channel selection input.
Table 1
shows the input code needed to select a given channel. The
multiplexer address is latched when received but the multiplexer channel is updated after the completion of the current
conversion.

The multiplexer address data must be valid at the time of
RD’s falling edge, remain valid during the conversion, and
can go high after RD goes high when operating in the ReadMode.
The multiplexer address data should be valid ator before the
time of WR’s falling edge, remain valid while WR is low, and
go invalid after WR goes high when operating in the WR-RD
Mode.

4.0 ANALOG INPUT AND SOURCE IMPEDANCE
The ADC08061/2’s analog input circuitry includes an analog
switch with an “on” resistance of 70Ω and capacitance of
1.4 pF and 12 pF (see
theA/D’s inputsignal acquisitiontime (while WRis lowwhen
using the WR -RD Mode). A small transient current flows into
the input pin each time the switch closes.Atransient voltage,
whose magnitude can increase as the source impedance increases, may be present at the input. So long as the source
impedance is less than 500Ω, the input voltage transient will
not cause errors and need not be filtered.

, or more than 300 mV lower

should be limited to 5 mA or less to avoid permanent damage to the IC if an analog input pin is forced beyond these
voltages. The sum of all the overdrive currents into all pins
must be less than 20 mA. Some sort of protection scheme
should be used when the input signal is expected to extend
more than 300 mV beyond the power supply limits.A simple
protection network using resistors and diodes is shown in
Figure 9
.
6.0 INHERENT SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
An important benefit of the ADC08061/2’s input architecture
is the inherent sample-and-hold (S/H) and its ability to measure relatively high speed signals without the help of an external S/H. In a non-sampling converter, regardless of its
speed, the input must remain stable to at least
throughout the conversion process if full accuracy is to be
maintained. Consequently, for many highspeed signals, this
signal must be externally sampled and held stationaryduring
the conversion.
The ADC08061 and ADC08062 are suitable for DSP-based
systems because of the direct control of the S/H through the
WR signal. The WR input signal allows the A/D to be synchronized to a DSP system’s sampling rate or to other
ADC08061 and ADC08062s.

7.0 LAYOUT, GROUNDS, AND BYPASSING
In order to ensure fast, accurate conversions from the
ADC08061/2, it is necessaryto useappropriate circuit board
layout techniques. Ideally, the analog-to-digital converter’s
ground reference should be low impedance and free of noise
from other parts of the system. Digital circuits can produce a
great deal of noise on their ground returns and, therefore,
should have their own separate ground lines. Best performance is obtained using separate ground planesfor the digital and analog parts of the system.

DS011086-23
The analog inputs should be isolated from noisy signal
traces to avoid having spurious signals couple to the input.
Any external component (e.g., an input filter capacitor) connected across the inputs should be returned to a very clean
ground point. Incorrectly grounding the ADC08061/2 will result in reduced conversion accuracy.
