Rainbow Electronics MAX1168 User Manual

General Description
The MAX1167/MAX1168 low-power, multichannel, 16­bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) feature a suc­cessive-approximation ADC, integrated +4.096V reference, a reference buffer, an internal oscillator, automatic power-down, and a high-speed SPI™/ QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-compatible interface. The MAX1167/MAX1168 operate with a single +5V analog supply and feature a separate digital supply, allowing direct interfacing with +2.7V to +5.5V digital logic.
The MAX1167/MAX1168 consume only 2.9mA (AVDD= DVDD= +5V) at 200ksps when using an external reference. AutoShutdown™ reduces the supply current to 145µA at 10ksps and to less than 10µA at reduced sampling rates.
The MAX1167 includes a 4-channel input multiplexer, and the MAX1168 accepts up to eight analog inputs. In addition, digital signal processor (DSP)-initiated con­versions are simplified with the DSP frame-sync input and output featured in the MAX1168. The MAX1168 includes a data-bit transfer input to select between 8-bit-wide or 16-bit-wide data-transfer modes. Both devices feature a scan mode that converts each channel sequentially or one channel continuously.
Excellent dynamic performance and low power, com­bined with ease of use and an integrated reference, make the MAX1167/MAX1168 ideal for control and data-acqui­sition operations or for other applications with demanding power consumption and space requirements. The MAX1167 is available in a 16-pin QSOP package and the MAX1168 is available in a 24-pin QSOP package. Both devices are guaranteed over the commercial (0°C to +70°C) and extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges. Use the MAX1168 evaluation kit to evaluate the MAX1168.

Serial Data Output. Data changes state on SCLKs falling edge in SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE mode and on SCLKs rising edge in DSP mode (MAX1168 only). DOUT is high impedance when CS is high.
Serial Clock Input. SCLK drives the conversion process in external clock mode and clocks data out.
Serial Data Input. Use DIN to communicate with the command/configuration/control register. In SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE mode, the rising edge of SCLK clocks in data at DIN. In DSP mode, the falling edge of SCLK clocks in data at DIN.
End-of-Conversion Output. In internal clock mode, a logic low at EOC signals the end of a conversion with the result available at DOUT. In external clock mode, EOC remains high.

Detailed Description
The MAX1167/MAX1168 low-power, multichannel, 16-bit ADCs feature a successive-approximation ADC, auto­matic power-down, integrated +4.096V reference, and a high-speed SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface. A DSPR input and DSPX output allow the MAX1168 to communicate with digital signal processors (DSPs) with no external glue logic. The MAX1167/MAX1168 operate with a single +5V analog supply and feature a separate digital supply, allowing direct interfacing with +2.7V to +5.5V digital logic.
Figures 3 and 4 show the functional diagrams of the MAX1167/MAX1168, and Figures 5 and 6 show the MAX1167/MAX1168 in a typical operating circuit. The serial interface simplifies communication with micro­processors (µPs).
In external reference mode, the MAX1167/MAX1168 have two power modes: normal mode and shutdown mode. Driving CS high places the MAX1167/MAX1168 in shutdown mode, reducing the supply current to 0.6µA (typ). Pull CS low to place the MAX1167/MAX1168 in normal operating mode. The internal reference mode offers software-programmable, power-down options as shown in Table 5.
In SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE mode, a falling edge on CS wakes the analog circuitry and allows SCLK to clock in data. Acquisition and conversion are initiated by SCLK. The conversion result is available at DOUT in unipolar serial format. DOUT is held low until data becomes available (MSB first) on the 8th falling edge of SCLK when in 8-bit transfer mode, and on the 16th falling edge when in 16-bit transfer mode (see the Operating Modes section). Figure 8 shows the detailed SPI/QSPI/ MICROWIRE serial-interface timing diagram.
In external clock mode, the MAX1168 also interfaces with DSPs. In DSP mode, a frame-sync pulse from the DSP initiates a conversion that is driven by SCLK. The MAX1168 formats a frame-sync pulse to notify the DSP that the conversion results are available at DOUT in MSB-first, unipolar, serial-data format. Figure 16 shows the detailed DSP serial-interface timing diagram (see the Operating Modes section).
Analog Input
Figure 7 illustrates the input-sampling architecture of the ADC. The voltage applied at REF or the internal +4.096V reference sets the full-scale input voltage.

Track/Hold (T/H)
In track mode, the analog signal is acquired on the internal hold capacitor. In hold mode, the T/H switches open and the capacitive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) samples the analog input.
During the acquisition, the analog input (AIN_) charges capacitor C
DAC
. At the end of the acquisition interval
the T/H switches open. The retained charge on C
DAC
represents a sample of the input.
In hold mode, the capacitive DAC adjusts during the remainder of the conversion cycle to restore node ZERO to zero within the limits of 16-bit resolution. At the end of the conversion, force CS high and then low to reset the T/H switches back to track mode (AIN_), where C
DAC
charges to the input signal again.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal is a function of how quickly its input capacitance is charged. If the input signals source impedance is high, the acquisition time lengthens and more time must be allowed between conversions. The acquisition time (t
ACQ
) is the maximum time the device takes to acquire the signal. Use the following formula to calculate acqui­sition time:
t
ACQ
= 11(RS+ RIN+ R
DS(ON)
) 45pF + 0.3µs
where RIN= 340, RS= the input signals source impedance, R
DS(ON)
= 60, and t
ACQ
is never less
than 729ns. A source impedance of less than 200 does not significantly affect the ADCs performance.

The MAX1168 features a 16-bit-wide data-transfer mode that includes a longer acquisition time (11.5 clock cycles). Longer acquisition times are useful in applications with input source resistances greater than 1k. Noise increases when using large source resis­tances. To improve the input signal bandwidth under AC conditions, drive AIN_ with a wideband buffer (>10MHz) that can drive the ADCs input capacitance and settle quickly.
Input Bandwidth
The ADCs input-tracking circuitry has a 4MHz small­signal bandwidth, making possible the digitization of high-speed transient events and the measurement of
periodic signals with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using undersampling techniques. To avoid aliasing of unwanted, high-frequency signals into the frequency band of interest, use anti-alias filtering.
Analog Input Protection
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog input to AV
DD
or AGND, allow the input to swing from (AGND - 0.3V) to (AVDD+ 0.3V) without damaging the device. If the analog input exceeds 300mV beyond the supplies, limit the input current to 10mA.

Digital Interface
The MAX1167/MAX1168 feature an SPI/QSPI/ MICROWIRE-compatible, 3-wire serial interface. The MAX1167 digital interface consists of digital inputs CS, SCLK, and DIN and outputs DOUT and EOC. The MAX1167 operates in the following modes:
SPI interface with external clock
SPI interface with internal clock
SPI interface with internal clock and scan mode
In addition to the standard 3-wire serial interface modes, the MAX1168 includes a DSPR input and a DSPX output for communicating with DSPs in external clock mode and a DSEL input to determine 8-bit-wide or 16-bit-wide data­transfer mode. When not using the MAX1168 in the DSP interface mode, connect DSPR to DV
DD
and leave DSPX
unconnected.
Command/Configuration/Control Register
Table 1 shows the contents of the command/configura­tion/control register and the state of each bit after initial power-up. Tables 2–6 define the control and configuration of the device for each bit. Cycling the power supplies resets the command/configuration/control register to the power-on-reset default state.
Initialization After Power-Up
A logic high on CS places the MAX1167/MAX1168 in the shutdown mode chosen by the power-down bits, and places DOUT in a high-impedance state. Drive CS low to power up and enable the MAX1167/MAX1168 before starting a conversion. In internal reference mode, allow 5ms for the shutdown internal reference and/or buffer to wake and stabilize before starting a conversion. In external reference mode (or if the inter­nal reference is already on), no reference settling time is needed after power-up.

Power-Down Modes
Table 5 shows the MAX1167/MAX1168 power-down modes. Three internal reference modes and one exter­nal reference mode are available. Select power-down modes by writing to bits 2 and 1 in the command/con­figuration/control register. The MAX1167/MAX1168 enter the selected power-down mode on the rising edge of CS.
The internal reference stays on when CS is pulled high, if bits 2 and 1 are set to zero. This mode allows for the fastest turn-on time.
Setting bit 2 = 0 and bit 1 = 1 turns both the reference and reference buffer off when CS is brought high. This mode achieves the lowest supply current. The refer­ence and buffer wake up on the falling edge of CS
when in SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE mode and on the falling edge of DSPR when in DSP mode. Allow 5ms for the internal reference to rise and settle when powering up from a complete shutdown (V
REF
= 0, C
REF
= 1µF).
The internal reference stays on and the buffer is shut off on the rising edge of CS when bit 2 = 1 and bit 1 = 0. The MAX1167/MAX1168 enter this mode on the rising edge of CS. The buffer wakes up on the falling edge of CS when in SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE mode and on the ris­ing edge of DSPR when in DSP mode. Allow 5ms for V
REF
to settle when powering up from a complete shut-
down (V
REF
= 0, C
REF
= 1µF). V
REFCAP
is always equal
to +4.096V in this mode.
Set both bit 2 and bit 1 to 1 to turn off the reference and reference buffer to allow connection of an external ref­erence. Using an external reference requires no extra wake-up time.

(MAX1167 and MAX1168)
Force DSPR high and DSEL low (MAX1168) for SPI/ QSPI/MICROWIRE interface mode. The falling edge of CS wakes the analog circuitry and allows SCLK to clock in data. Ensure the duty cycle on SCLK is between 45% and 55% when operating at 4.8MHz (the maximum clock frequency). For lower clock frequencies, ensure the minimum high and low times are at least 93ns. External-clock-mode conversions with SCLK rates less

than 125kHz can reduce accuracy due to leakage of the sampling capacitor. DOUT changes from high-Z to logic low after CS is brought low. Input data latches on the rising edge of SCLK. The first SCLK rising edge begins loading data into the command/configuration/control register from DIN. The devices select the proper chan­nel for conversion on the rising edge of the 3rd SCLK cycle. Acquisition begins immediately thereafter and ends on the falling edge of the 6th clock cycle. The MAX1167/MAX1168 sample the input and begin conver­sion on the falling edge of the 6th clock cycle. Setup and configuration of the MAX1167/MAX1168 complete on the rising edge of the 8th clock cycle. The conver­sion result is available (MSB first) at DOUT on the falling edge of the 8th SCLK cycle. To read the entire conver­sion result, 16 SCLK cycles are needed. Extra clock pulses, occurring after the conversion result has been clocked out and prior to the rising edge of CS, cause zeros to be clocked out of DOUT. The MAX1167/ MAX1168 external clock 8-bit-wide data-transfer mode requires 24 SCLK cycles for completion (Figure 10).
Force CS high after the conversion result is read. For maximum throughput, force CS low again to initiate the next conversion immediately after the specified mini­mum time (t
CSW
). Forcing CS high in the middle of a
conversion immediately aborts the conversion and places the MAX1167/MAX1168 in shutdown.
External Clock 16-Bit-Wide Data-Transfer Mode
(MAX1168 Only)
Force DSPR high and DSEL high for SPI/QSPI/ MICROWIRE interface mode. Logic high at DSEL allows the MAX1168 to transfer data in 16-bit-wide words. The acquisition time is extended an extra eight SCLK cycles in the 16-bit-wide data-transfer mode. The falling edge of CS wakes the analog circuitry and allows SCLK to clock in data. Ensure the duty cycle on SCLK is between 45% and 55% when operating at 4.8MHz (the maximum clock frequency). For lower clock frequencies, ensure that the minimum high and low times are at least 93ns. External­clock-mode conversions with SCLK rates less than 125kHz can reduce accuracy due to leakage of the sam­pling capacitor. DOUT changes from high-Z to logic low after CS is brought low. Input data latches on the rising edge of SCLK. The first SCLK rising edge begins loading data into the command/configuration/control register from DIN. The devices select the proper channel for conver­sion and begin acquisition on the rising edge of the 3rd SCLK cycle. Setup and configuration of the MAX1168 completes on the rising edge of the 8th clock cycle. Acquisition ends on the falling edge of the 14th SCLK cycle. The MAX1168 samples the input and begins con­version on the falling edge of the 14th clock cycle. The conversion result is available (MSB first) at DOUT on the falling edge of the 16th SCLK cycle. To read the entire conversion result, 16 SCLK cycles are needed. Extra clock pulses, occurring after the conversion result has been clocked out and prior to the rising edge of CS, cause zeros to be clocked out of DOUT.

DOUT changes from high-Z to logic low after CS is brought low. Input data latches on the ris­ing edge of SCLK. The command/configuration/control
register begins reading DIN on the first SCLK rising edge and ends on the rising edge of the 8th SCLK cycle. The MAX1167/MAX1168 select the proper channel for con­version on the rising edge of the 3rd SCLK cycle. The internal oscillator activates 125ns after the rising edge of the 8th SCLK cycle. Turn off the external clock while the internal clock is on. Turning off SCLK ensures the lowest noise performance during acquisition. Acquisition begins on the 2nd rising edge of the internal clock and ends on the falling edge of the 6th internal clock cycle. Each bit of the conversion result shifts into memory as it becomes available. The conversion result is available (MSB first) at DOUT on the falling edge of EOC. The internal oscillator and analog circuitry are shut down on the high-to-low EOC transition. Use the EOC high-to-low transition as the signal to restart the external clock (SCLK). To read the

Extra clock pulses, occurring after the conversion result has been clocked out and prior to the rising edge of CS, cause the conversion result to be shifted out again. The MAX1167/MAX1168 internal clock 8-bit-wide data­transfer mode requires 24 external clock cycles and 25 internal clock cycles for completion.
Force CS high after the conversion result is read. For maximum throughput, force CS low again to initiate the next conversion immediately after the specified mini­mum time (t
CSW
). Forcing CS high in the middle of a
conversion immediately aborts the conversion and places the MAX1167/MAX1168 in shutdown.
Scan mode allows multiple channels to be scanned consecutively or one channel to be scanned eight times. Scan mode can only be enabled when using the MAX1167/MAX1168 in the internal clock mode. Enable scanning by setting bits 4 and 3 in the command/con­figuration/control register (see Tables 3 and 4). In scan mode, conversion results are stored in memory until the completion of the last conversion in the sequence. Upon completion of the last conversion in the sequence, EOC transitions from high to low to indicate the end of the conversion and shuts down the internal oscillator. Use the EOC high-to-low transition as the sig­nal to restart the external clock (SCLK). DOUT provides the conversion results in the same order as the channel conversion process. The MSB of the first conversion is available at DOUT on the falling edge of EOC (Figure 14).

In scan mode, conver­sion results are stored in memory until the completion of the last conversion in the sequence. Upon completion of the last conversion in the sequence, EOC transitions from high to low to indicate the end of the conversion and shuts down the internal oscillator. Use the EOC high-to-low transition as the signal to restart the external clock (SCLK). DOUT provides the conversion results in the same order as the channel conversion process. The MSB of the first conversion is available at DOUT on the falling edge of EOC. Figure 15 shows the timing diagram for 16-bit-wide data transfer in scan mode.
DSP 8-Bit-Wide Data-Transfer Mode (External Clock
Mode, MAX1168 Only)
Figure 16 shows the DSP-interface timing diagram. Logic low at DSPR on the falling edge of CS enables DSP interface mode. After the MAX1168 enters DSP mode, CS can remain low for the duration of the conver­sion process and each subsequent conversion. Drive DSEL low to select the 8-bit data-transfer mode. A sync pulse from the DSP at DSPR wakes the analog circuitry and allows SCLK to clock in data (Figure 17). The frame sync pulse alerts the MAX1168 that incoming data is about to be sent to DIN. Ensure the duty cycle on SCLK is between 45% and 55% when operating at 4.8MHz (the maximum clock frequency). For lower clock fre­quencies, ensure the minimum high and low times are at least 93ns. External clock mode conversions with SCLK
rates less than 125kHz can reduce accuracy due to leakage of the sampling capacitor. The input data latches on the falling edge of SCLK. The command/ configuration/control register starts reading data in on the falling edge of the first SCLK cycle immediately fol­lowing the falling edge of the frame sync pulse and ends on the falling edge of the 8th SCLK cycle. The MAX1168 selects the proper channel for conversion on the falling edge of the 3rd clock cycle and begins acquisition. Acquisition continues until the rising edge of the 7th clock cycle. The MAX1168 samples the input on the rising edge of the 7th clock cycle. On the rising edge of the 8th clock cycle, the MAX1168 outputs a frame sync pulse at DSPX. The frame sync pulse alerts the DSP that the conversion results are about to be out­put at DOUT (MSB first) starting on the rising edge of the 9th clock pulse. To read the entire conversion result, 16 SCLK cycles are needed. Extra clock pulses, occurring after the conversion result has been clocked out and prior to the next rising edge of DSPR, cause zeros to be clocked out of DOUT. The MAX1168 exter­nal clock, DSP 8-bit-wide data-transfer mode requires 24 clock cycles to complete.
Begin a new conversion by sending a new frame sync pulse to DSPR followed by new configuration data. Send the new DSPR pulse immediately after reading the conversion result to realize maximum throughput. Sending a new frame sync pulse in the middle of a con­version immediately aborts the current conversion and begins a new one. A rising edge on CS in the middle of a conversion aborts the current conversion and places the MAX1168 in shutdown.
DSP 16-Bit-Wide Data-Transfer Mode (External
Clock Mode, MAX1168 Only)
Figure 16 shows the DSP-interface timing diagram. Logic low at DSPR on the falling edge of CS enables DSP interface mode. After the MAX1168 enters DSP mode, CS can remain low for the duration of the con­version process and each subsequent conversion. The acquisition time is extended an extra eight SCLK cycles in the 16-bit-wide data-transfer mode. Drive DSEL high to select the 16-bit-wide data-transfer mode. A sync pulse from the DSP at DSPR wakes the analog circuitry and allows SCLK to clock in data (Figure 18). The frame sync pulse also alerts the MAX1168 that incom­ing data is about to be sent to DIN. Ensure the duty cycle on SCLK is between 45% and 55% when operat­ing at 4.8MHz (the maximum clock frequency). For lower clock frequencies, ensure the minimum high and low times are at least 93ns. External-clock-mode con­versions with SCLK rates less than 125kHz can reduce accuracy due to leakage of the sampling capacitor.

The input data latches on the falling edge of SCLK. The command/configuration/control register starts reading data in on the falling edge of the first SCLK cycle immedi­ately following the falling edge of the frame sync pulse and ends on the falling edge of the 16th SCLK cycle. The MAX1168 selects the proper channel for conversion on the falling edge of the 3rd clock cycle and begins acqui­sition. Acquisition continues until the rising edge of the 15th clock cycle. The MAX1168 samples the input on the rising edge of the 15th clock cycle. On the rising edge of the 16th clock cycle, the MAX1168 outputs a frame sync pulse at DSPX. The frame sync pulse alerts the DSP that the conversion results are about to be output at DOUT (MSB first) starting on the rising edge of the 17th clock pulse. To read the entire conversion result, 16 SCLK cycles are needed. Extra clock pulses, occurring after the conversion result has been clocked out and prior to the next rising edge of DSPR, cause zeros to be clocked out of DOUT.

Applications Information
Internal Reference
The internal bandgap reference provides a buffered +4.096V. Bypass REFCAP with a 0.1µF capacitor to AGND and REF with a 1µF capacitor to AGND. For best results, use low-ESR, X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors. Allow 5ms for the reference and buffer to wake up from full power-down (see Table 5).
External Reference
The MAX1167/MAX1168 accept an external reference with a voltage range between +3.8V and AVDD. Connect the external reference directly to REF. Bypass REF to AGND with a 10µF capacitor. When not using a low-ESR bypass capacitor, use a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in paral­lel with the 10µF capacitor. Noise on the reference degrades conversion accuracy.
The input impedance at REF is 37kfor DC currents. During a conversion, the external reference at REF must deliver 118µA of DC load current and have an out­put impedance of 10or less.
For optimal performance, buffer the reference through an op amp and bypass the REF input. Consider the equivalent input noise (40µV
RMS
) of the MAX1167/
MAX1168 when choosing a reference.
Internal/External Oscillator
Select either an external (0.1MHz to 4.8MHz) or the internal 4MHz (typ) clock to perform conversions (Table 6). The external clock shifts data in and out of the MAX1167/MAX1168 in either clock mode.
When using the internal clock mode, the internal oscilla­tor controls the acquisition and conversion processes, while the external oscillator shifts data in and out of the MAX1167/MAX1168. Turn off the external clock (SCLK) when the internal clock is on to realize lowest noise per­formance. The internal clock remains off in external clock mode.
Input Buffer
Most applications require an input-buffer amplifier to achieve 16-bit accuracy. The input amplifier must have a slew rate of at least 2V/µs and a unity-gain bandwidth of at least 10MHz to complete the required output-volt­age change before the end of the acquisition time.
At the beginning of the acquisition, the internal sam­pling capacitor array connects to AIN_ (the amplifier input), causing some disturbance on the output of the buffer. Ensure the sampled voltage has settled before the end of the acquisition time.

Digital Noise
Digital noise can couple to AIN_ and REF. The conversion clock (SCLK) and other digital signals active during input acquisition contribute noise to the conversion result. Noise signals, synchronous with the sampling interval, result in an effective input offset. Asynchronous signals produce random noise on the input, whose high-frequen­cy components can be aliased into the frequency band of interest. Minimize noise by presenting a low imped­ance (at the frequencies contained in the noise signal) at the inputs. This requires bypassing AIN_ to AGND, or buffering the input with an amplifier that has a small-sig­nal bandwidth of several megahertz (doing both is prefer­able). AIN has a typical bandwidth of 4MHz.
Distortion
Avoid degrading dynamic performance by choosing an amplifier with distortion much less than the total har­monic distortion of the MAX1167/MAX1168 at the fre­quencies of interest (THD = -100dB at 1kHz). If the chosen amplifier has insufficient common-mode rejec­tion, which results in degraded THD performance, use the inverting configuration (positive input grounded) to eliminate errors from this source. Low-temperature­coefficient, gain-setting resistors reduce linearity errors caused by resistance changes due to self-heating. To
reduce linearity errors due to finite amplifier gain, use amplifier circuits with sufficient loop gain at the fre­quencies of interest.
DC Accuracy
To improve DC accuracy, choose a buffer with an offset much less than the MAX1167/MAX1168s offset (±10mV max for +5V supply), or whose offset can be trimmed while maintaining stability over the required temperature range.

Serial Interfaces
SPI and MICROWIRE Interfaces
When using the SPI (Figure 20a) or MICROWIRE (Figure 20b) interfaces, set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. Drive CS low to power on the MAX1167/MAX1168 before starting a conversion (Figure 20c). Three consecutive 8-bit-wide readings are necessary to obtain the entire 16-bit result from the ADC. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s falling edge. The first 8-bit-wide data stream contains all leading zeros. The 2nd 8-bit-wide data stream contains the MSB through D6. The 3rd 8-bit-wide data stream con­tains D5 through D0 followed by S1 and S0.
QSPI Interface
Using the high-speed QSPI interface with CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0, the MAX1167/MAX1168 support a maximum f
SCLK
of 4.8MHz. Figure 21a shows the MAX1167/ MAX1168 connected to a QSPI master, and Figure 21b shows the associated interface timing.
PIC16 with SSP Module and PIC17
Interface
The MAX1167/MAX1168 are compatible with a PIC16/PIC17 controller (µC), using the synchronous seri­al-port (SSP) module.
To establish SPI communication, connect the controller as shown in Figure 22a and configure the PIC16/PIC17 as system master by initializing its synchronous serial­port control register (SSPCON) and synchronous serial­port status register (SSPSTAT) to the bit patterns shown in Tables 7 and 8.
In SPI mode, the PIC16/PIC17 µCs allow 8 bits of data to be synchronously transmitted and received simultane­ously. Three consecutive 8-bit-wide readings (Figure 22b) are necessary to obtain the entire 16-bit result from the ADC. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s falling edge and is clocked into the µC on SCLKs rising edge. The first 8-bit-wide data stream contains all zeros. The 2nd 8-bit-wide data stream contains the MSB through D6. The 3rd 8-bit-wide data stream contains bits D5 through D0 followed by S1 and S0.

DSP Interface
The DSP mode of the MAX1168 only operates in exter­nal clock mode. Figure 23 shows a typical DSP interface connection to the MAX1168. Use the same oscillator as the DSP to provide the clock signal for the MAX1168. The DSP provides the falling edge at CS to wake the MAX1168. The MAX1168 detects the state of DSPR on the falling edge of CS (Figure 17). Logic low at DSPR places the MAX1168 in DSP mode. After the MAX1168 enters DSP mode, CS can be left low. A frame sync pulse from the DSP to DSPR initiates a conversion. The MAX1168 sends a frame sync pulse from DSPX to the DSP signaling that the MSB is available at DOUT. Send another frame sync pulse from the DSP to DSPR to begin the next conversion. The MAX1168 does not oper­ate in scan mode when using DSP mode.
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This straight line can be either a best-straight-line fit or a line drawn between the end points of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The static linearity parameters for the MAX1167/MAX1168 are measured using the end-point method.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between an actual step-width and the ideal value of ±1 LSB. A DNL error specification of ±1 LSB guarantees no miss­ing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Aperture Definitions
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in the time between samples. Aperture delay (tAD) is the time between the falling edge of the sampling clock and the instant when the actual sample is taken.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital samples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of the full-scale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quanti­zation error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical mini­mum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantization noise error only and results directly from the ADCs res­olution (N bits):
SNR = (6.02 N + 1.76)dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quanti­zation noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter, etc. SNR is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS signal to the RMS noise, which includes all spectral components minus the fundamental, the first five har­monics, and the DC offset.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion
Signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the fundamental input frequencys RMS amplitude to the RMS equivalent of all the other ADC output signals:
SINAD (dB) = 20 log [Signal
RMS
/ (Noise +
Distortion)

Effective Number of Bits
Effective number of bits (ENOB) indicates the global accuracy of an ADC at a specific input frequency and sampling rate. An ideal ADCs error consists of quanti­zation noise only. With an input range equal to the full­scale range of the ADC, calculate the ENOB as follows:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76) / 6.02
Figure 24 shows the ENOB as a function of the MAX1167/MAX1168s input frequency.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS sum of the first five harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself. This is expressed as:
where V1is the fundamental amplitude and V2through V5are the 2nd- through 5th-order harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
Spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is the ratio of the RMS amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next-largest fre­quency component.
Supplies, Layout, Grounding, and
Bypassing
Use printed circuit (PC) boards with separate analog and digital ground planes. Do not use wire-wrap boards. Connect the two ground planes together at the MAX1167/MAX1168 AGND terminal. Isolate the digital supply from the analog with a low-value resistor (10Ω) or ferrite bead when the analog and digital supplies come from the same source (Figure 25).
Constraints on sequencing the power supplies and inputs are as follows:
Apply AGND before DGND.
Apply AIN_ and REF after AVDDand AGND are
present.
DVDDis independent of the supply sequencing.
Ensure that digital return currents do not pass through the analog ground and that return-current paths are low impedance. A 5mA current flowing through a PC board ground trace impedance of only 0.05creates an error voltage of about 250µV and a 4 LSB error with a +4.096V full-scale system.
The board layout should ensure that digital and analog signal lines are kept separate. Do not run analog and dig­ital lines (especially the SCLK and DOUT) parallel to one another. If one must cross another, do so at right angles.
The ADCs high-speed comparator is sensitive to high­frequency noise on the AVDDpower supply. Bypass an excessively noisy supply to the analog ground plane with a 0.1µF capacitor in parallel with a 1µF to 10µF low-ESR capacitor. Keep capacitor leads short for best supply-noise rejection.
