3Description
The ADS8664 and ADS8668 are 4- and 8-channel,
integrated data acquisition systems based on a 12-bit
successive approximation(SAR)analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), operating at a throughput of
500 kSPS. The devices feature integrated analog
front-end circuitry foreach input channel with
overvoltage protection up to ±20 V, a 4- or 8-channel
multiplexer with automatic and manual scanning
modes, and an on-chip, 4.096-V reference with low
temperature drift. Operating on a single 5-V analog
supply, each input channel on the devices can
support true bipolar input ranges of ±10.24 V,
±5.12 V, ±2.56 V, ±1.28V and ±0.64V, as well as
unipolar input ranges of 0 V to 10.24 V, 0 V to 5.12 V,
0 V to 2.56 V and 0 V to 1.28 V. The gain of the
analog front-end for all input ranges is accurately
trimmed to ensure a high dc precision. The input
rangeselectionissoftware-programmableand
independent for each channel. The devices offer a
1-MΩ constant resistive input impedance irrespective
of the selected input range.
The ADS8664 and ADS8668 offer a simple SPIcompatible serial interface to the digital host and also
support daisy-chaining of multiple devices. The digital
supply operates from 1.65 V to 5.25 V, enabling
direct interface to a wide range of host controllers.

The ADS8664 and ADS8668 are 12-bit data acquisition systems with 4- and 8-channel analog inputs,
respectively. Each analog input channel consists of an overvoltage protection circuit, a programmable gain
amplifier (PGA), and a second-order, antialiasing filter that conditions the input signal before being fed into a 4or 8-channel analog multiplexer (MUX). The output of the MUX is digitized using a 12-bit analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. This overall system can
achieve a maximum throughput of 500 kSPS, combined across all channels. The devices feature a 4.096-V
internal reference with a fast-settling buffer and a simple SPI-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain (DAISY)
and ALARM features.
The devices operate from a single 5-V analog supply and can accommodate true bipolar input signals up to
±2.5 × V
or the selected input range. The integration of multichannel precision analog front-end circuits with high input
impedance and a precision ADC operating from a single 5-V supply offers a simplified end solution without
requiring external high-voltage bipolar supplies and complicated driver circuits.
8.2 Functional Block Diagram
. The devices offer a constant 1-MΩ resistive input impedance irrespective of the sampling frequency
The ADS8664 and ADS8668 have either four or eight analog input channels, respectively, such that the positive
inputs AIN_nP (n = 0 to 3 or 7) are the single-ended analog inputs and the negative inputs AIN_nGND are tied to
GND. Figure 67 shows the simplified circuit schematic for each analog input channel, including the input
overvoltage protection circuit, PGA, low-pass filter (LPF), high-speed ADC driver, and analog multiplexer.
NOTE: n = 0 to 3 for the ADS8664 and n = 0 to 7 for the ADS8668.

configuration of the program registers. As explained in the Range Select Registers section, the input voltage

10.24 V, 0 V to 5.12 V, 0 V to 2.56 V, and 0 V to 1.28 V. Any of these input ranges can be assigned to any
analog input channel of the device. For instance, the ±2.5 × V

REF
REF
range can be assigned to AIN_1P, the ±1.25 ×
REF

The devices sample the voltage difference (AIN_nP – AIN_nGND) between the selected analog input channel
and the AIN_nGND pin. The devices allow a ±0.1-V range on the AIN_nGND pin for all analog input channels.
This feature is useful in modular systems where the sensor or signal-conditioning block is further away from the
ADC on the board and when a difference in the ground potential of the sensor or signal conditioner from the ADC
ground is possible. In such cases, running separate wires from the AIN_nGND pin of the device to the sensor or
signal-conditioning ground is recommended.
If the analog input pins (AIN_nP) to the devices are left floating, the output of the ADC corresponds to an internal
biasing voltage. The output from the ADC must be considered as invalid if the devices are operated with floating
input pins. This condition does not cause any damage to the devices, which are fully functional when a valid
input voltage is applied to the pins.
8.3.2 Analog Input Impedance
Each analog input channel in the device presents a constant resistive impedance of 1 MΩ. The input impedance
is independent of either the ADC sampling frequency, the input signal frequency, or range. The primary
advantage of such high-impedance inputs is the ease of driving the ADC inputs without requiring driving
amplifiers with low output impedance. Bipolar, high-voltage power supplies are not required in the system
because this ADC does not require any high-voltage front-end drivers. In most applications, the signal sources or
sensor outputs can be directly connected to the ADC input, thus significantly simplifying the design of the signal
chain.
In order to maintain the dc accuracy of the system, matching the external source impedance on the AIN_nP input
pin with an equivalent resistance on the AIN_nGND pin is recommended. This matching helps to cancel any
additional offset error contributed by the external resistance.
The ADS8664 and ADS8668 feature an internal overvoltage protection circuit on each of the four or eight analog
input channels, respectively. Use these protection circuits as a secondary protection scheme to protect the
device. Using external protection devices against surges, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and electrical fast
transient (EFT) conditions is highly recommended. The conceptual block diagram of the internal overvoltage
protection (OVP) circuit is shown in Figure 68.
As shown in Figure 68, the combination of the 1-MΩ input resistors along with the PGA gain-setting resistors
(RFBand RDC) limit the current flowing into the input pins. A combination of antiparallel diodes (D1 and D2) are
added on each input pin to protect the internal circuitry and set the overvoltage protection limits.
Table 1 explains the various operating conditions for the device when the device is powered on. Table 1
indicates that when the AVDD pin of the device is connected to the proper supply voltage (AVDD = 5 V) or offers
a low impedance of < 30 kΩ, the internal overvoltage protection circuit can withstand up to ±20 V on the analog
input pins.

for the internal OVP circuit. Assume that RSis approximately 0.
The results indicated in Table 1 are based on an assumption that the analog input pins are driven by very low
impedance sources (RSis approximately 0). However, if the sources driving the inputs have higher impedance,
the current flowing through the protection diodes reduces further, thereby increasing the OVP voltage range.
Note that higher source impedance results in gain errors and contributes to overall system noise performance.
