DS8102
Dual Delta-Sigma Modulator and Encoder
6 _______________________________________________________________________________________
Once the power supply is at an acceptable level 
(VDD>V
RST
) and the RST line is driven high, the 
DS8102 exits shutdown mode. However, a warmup 
sequence must then be completed before analog-todigital conversion and Manchester encoding begins. 
The length of this sequence depends on the 
internal/external voltage reference mode (controlled by 
the APDREF pin).
If the external voltage reference is selected (APDREF = 1), 
the following actions are performed:
1) Upon exit from shutdown mode (VDD> V
RST
and
RST = 1), the 8MHz oscillator is started.
2) The DS8102 delays for 16 cycles of the 8MHz oscil-
lator. This allows the 8MHz oscillator to warm up.
3) The analog front-end (AFE) is enabled.
4) The DS8102 delays for 8192 cycles of the 8MHz
oscillator. This allows the AFE to warm up.
5) If CLKSEL = 1, the 8MHz oscillator is disabled at
this point and the DS8102 switches to the external 
clock source provided at CLKIO.
6) Both modulator channels are enabled, and the
DS8102 begins performing conversions using the 
external voltage reference.
If the internal voltage reference is selected (APDREF = 0), 
the followings actions are performed:
1) Upon exit from shutdown mode (VDD> V
RST
and
RST = 1), the 8MHz oscillator is started.
2) The DS8102 delays for 16 cycles of the 8MHz oscil-
lator. This allows the 8MHz oscillator to warm up.
3) The AFE is enabled.
4) The DS8102 delays for 8192 cycles of the 8MHz
oscillator. This allows the AFE to warm up.
5) The internal voltage reference is enabled.
6) The DS8102 delays for an additional 57,344 cycles
of the 8MHz oscillator. This allows the internal reference to warm up.
7) If CLKSEL = 1, the 8MHz oscillator is disabled at
this point and the DS8102 switches to the external 
clock source provided at CLKIO.
8) Both modulator channels are enabled, and the
DS8102 begins performing conversions using the 
internal voltage reference.
Even if the external clock has been selected by setting 
CLKSEL = 1, the internal 8MHz oscillator is still used to 
control the warmup sequence. Once the warmup 
sequence has completed, the internal 8MHz oscillator 
is disabled if CLKSEL = 1.
Active Mode
In active mode, the AFE and delta-sigma modulators on 
the DS8102 are enabled, and the DS8102 converts and 
outputs samples over the Manchester-encoded output 
(MNOUT) at a rate determined by either the internal 
8MHz oscillator (if CLKSEL = 0) or the external clock 
input at CLKIO (if CLKSEL = 1).
If RST is driven low or if V
DD
drops below the V
RST
level, the DS8102 enters shutdown mode immediately 
and must go through the warmup sequence again 
(once V
DD
> V
RST
and RST = 1) to return to active
mode.
Configuration Inputs
The input pins G0, G1, APDREF, and CLKSEL are configuration inputs for the DS8102 that determine its operating mode, including:
• Clock selection—internal or external
• Voltage reference—internal or external
• Gain setting for analog input channel 0—1x, 4x, 16x, 
or 32x
These pins must be set to a valid level for proper operation; they cannot be left disconnected. If any of the 
configuration inputs are driven by a companion microcontroller (as opposed to being statically connected to 
VDDor GND), the inputs can only be changed when the 
DS8102 is in shutdown mode.
Channel 0 Gain Selection
Configuration input pins G0 and G1 are used to select 
the gain setting for analog input channel 0. The available gain configurations are 1x, 4x, 16x, and 32x. The 
effective input voltage range scales downward proportionally with each increased gain selection. For example, full-scale output at gain = 1x occurs when AN0+ is 
2V higher than AN0-. However, with the gain setting at 
4x, the output reaches full scale when AN0+ is only 
500mV higher than AN0-.
Table 1 lists the gain configuration settings available for 
channel 0. The levels at G0 and G1 should be set when 
the DS8102 is in shutdown mode.
