ADC12L030/ADC12L032/ADC12L034/ADC12L038 3.3V Self-Calibrating 12-Bit Plus Sign Serial I/O
A/D Converters with MUX and Sample/Hold
General Description
The ADC12L030 family is 12-bit plus sign successive approximation A/D converters with serial I/O and configurable
input multiplexers. These devices are fully tested with a
single 3.3Vpower supply. The ADC12L032, ADC12L034 and
ADC12L038 have 2, 4 and 8 channel multiplexers, respectively. Differential multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs are
available onthe MUXOUT1, MUXOUT2, A/DIN1 and A/DIN2
pins. The ADC12L030 has a two channel multiplexer with the
multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs internally connected. On
request, these A/Ds go through a self calibration process
that adjusts linearity, zero and full-scale errors to less than
1
±
⁄2LSB each.
The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various
combinationsofsingle-ended,differential,or
pseudo-differential modes.Afully differential unipolar analog
input range (0V to +3.3V) can be accommodated with a
single +3.3V supply. In the differential modes, valid outputs
are obtained even when the negative inputs are greater than
the positive because of the 12-bit plus sign two’scompliment
output data format.
The serial I/O is configured to comply with NSC’s
MICROWIRE
references, see the LM4040 or LM4041 data sheets.

sucessive approximation conversion time interval and the acquisition time. The rise and fall
times of the clock edges should not exceed
1 µs.
SCLKThis is the serial data clock input. The clock
applied to this input controls the rate at which
the serial data exchange occurs. The rising
edge loads the information on the DI pin into
the multiplexer address and mode select shift
register. This address controls which channel
of the analog input multiplexer (MUX) is selected and the mode of operation for the A/D.
With CSlow the falling edge ofSCLK shifts the
data resulting from the previous ADC conversion out on DO, with the exception of the first
bit of data. When CS is low continuously, the
first bit of the data is clocked out on the rising
edge of EOC (end of conversion). When CS is
toggled the falling edge of CS always clocks
out the first bit of data. CS should be brought
low when SCLK is low. The rise and fall times
of the clock edges should not exceed 1 µs.
DIThis is the serial data input pin. The data ap-
plied to this pin is shifted by the rising edge of
SCLK into the multiplexer address and mode
select register.
signment of the multiplexer address and the
mode select data.
DOThe data output pin. This pin is an active push/
pull output when CS is Low. When CS is High
this output is in TRI-STATE. The A/D conversion result (D0–D12) and converter status data
are clocked out by the falling edge of SCLK on
this pin. The word length and format of this
result can vary (see
and format are controlled by the data shifted
into the multiplexer address and mode select
register (see
EOCThis pin is an active push/pull output and indi-
cates the status of the ADC12L030/2/4/8.
When low, it signals that the A/D is busy with a
conversion, auto-calibration, auto-zero or
power down cycle. The rising edge of EOC
signals the end of one of these cycles.
CS
This is the chip select pin. When a logic low is
applied to this pin, the rising edge of SCLK
shifts the data on DI into the address register.
This low also brings DO out of TRI-STATE.
With CSlow the falling edge ofSCLK shifts the
data resulting from the previous ADC conversion out on DO, with the exception of the first
bit of data. When CS is low continuously, the
first bit of the data is clocked out on the rising
edge of EOC (end of conversion). When CS is
toggled the falling edge of CS always clocks
out the first bit of data. CS should be brought
low when SCLK is low. The falling edge of CS
resets a conversion in progress and starts the
sequence for a new conversion. When CS is
brought back low during a conversion, that
conversion is prematurely ended. The data in
the output latches may be corrupted. Therefore, when CS is brought back low during a

conversion in progress the data output at that
time should be ignored. CS may also be left
continuously low. In this case it is imperative
that the correct number of SCLK pulses be
applied to the ADC in order to remain synchronous. After the ADC supply power is applied, it
expects to see 13 clock pulses for each I/O
sequence. The number of clock pulses the
ADC expects is the same as the digital output
word length. This word length can be modified
by the data shifted in on the DO pin.
Table 5
details the data required.
DOR
This is the data output ready pin. This pin is an
active push/pull output. It is low when the conversion result is being shifted out and goes
high to signal that all the data has been shifted
out.
CONV
A logic low is required on this pin to program
any mode or change the ADC’s configuration
as listed in the Mode Programming Table
(
Table 5
) such as 12-bit conversion, 8-bit conversion,Auto Cal,Auto Zero etc.When this pin
is high theADC is placed in the read data only
mode. While in the read data only mode, bringing CS low and pulsing SCLK will only clock
out on DO any data stored in the ADCs output
shift register.The data on DI will be neglected.
A new conversion will not be started and the
ADC will remain in the mode and/or configuration previously programmed. Read data only
cannot be performed while a conversion,
Auto-Cal or Auto-Zero are in progress.
PDThis is the power down pin. When PD is high
the A/D is powered down; when PD is low the
A/D is powered up. The A/D takes a maximum
of 700 µs to power up after the command is
given.
CH0–CH7These are the analog inputs of the MUX. A
channel input is selected by the address information at the DI pin, which is loaded on the
rising edge of SCLK into the address register
(see
Tables 2, 3, 4
).
The voltage applied to these inputs should not
exceed V
+ or go below GND. Exceeding this

range on an unselected channel will corrupt
the reading of a selected channel.

as a pseudo ground when the analog multiplexer is single-ended.
