GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD7946 is a 14-bit, charge redistribution, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single 5 V power supply, VDD. It contains a low power, high speed, 14-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port. The part also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short aperture delay track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising edge, it samples an analog input IN+ between 0 V to REF with respect to a ground sense IN-. The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set up to the supply voltage. APPLICATIONS Battery-powered equipment Data acquisition Instrumentation Medical instruments Process control Its power scales linearly with throughput. The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single, 3-wire bus, or it provides an optional BUSY indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate supply VIO. The AD7946 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN (LFCSP) with operation specified from -40C to +85C.

The REF range is from 0.5 V to VDD, and is referred to the GND pin. This pin should be decoupled closely to the pin with a 10 F capacitor. Power Supply. Analog Input. It is referred to IN-. The voltage range, that is, the difference between IN+ and IN-, is 0 V to REF. Analog Input Ground Sense. Connect to the analog ground plane or to a remote sense ground. Power Supply Ground. Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its leading edge, it initiates the conversions and selects the interface mode, chain, or CS. In CS mode, it enables the SDO pin when low. In chain mode, the data should be read when CNV is high. Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK. Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock. Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as follows: Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital data level on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 14 SCK cycles. CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can enable the serial output signals when low, and if SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete, the BUSY indicator feature is enabled. Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V). AI = analog input, DI = digital input, DO = digital output, and P = power. Rev.

Operating Current vs. Temperature Rev. A | Page 10 of 24 120 AD7946 TERMINOLOGY Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL) INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 11/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line (Figure 24). Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL) In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed. Offset Error The first transition should occur at a level 1/2 LSB above analog ground (152.6 V for the 0 V to 5 V range). The offset error is the deviation of the actual transition from that point. Gain Error The last transition (from 111 ... 10 to 111 ... 11) should occur for an analog voltage 11/2 LSB below the nominal full scale (4.999542 V for the 0 V to 5 V range). The gain error is the deviation of the actual level of the last transition from the ideal level after the offset has been adjusted out. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to SINAD by the following formula: ENOB = (SINADdB - 1.76)/6.02 and is expressed in bits. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is expressed in dB. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is expressed in dB. Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD) SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for SINAD is expressed in dB. Aperture Delay Aperture delay is the measurement of the acquisition performance and is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and when the input signal is held for a conversion. Transient Response Transient response is the time required for the ADC to accurately acquire its input after a full-scale step function is applied. Rev.

ADC Simplified Schematic The AD7946 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise 14-bit ADC using a successive approximation architecture. The AD7946 can convert 500,000 samples per second (500 kSPS) and powers down between conversions. When operating at 100 SPS, for example, it consumes 3.3 W typically, ideal for battery-powered applications. The AD7946 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications. The AD7946 is specified from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and can be interfaced to any of the 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead QFN (LFCSP) that combines space savings and allows flexible configurations. It is pin-for-pin compatible with the 16-bit ADC AD7686. CONVERTER OPERATION The AD7946 is a successive approximation ADC based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 23 shows the simplified schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two identical arrays of 14 binary weighted capacitors, which are connected to the two comparator inputs. The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB, in order to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After completing this process, the part returns to the acquisition phase, and the control logic generates the ADC output code and a BUSY signal indicator. Because the AD7946 has an on-board conversion clock, the serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process. Transfer Functions The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7946 is shown in Figure 24 and Table 7. ADC CODE (Straight Binary) CIRCUIT INFORMATION 111...111 111...110 111...101 000...010 000...000 -FSR During the acquisition phase, the terminals of the array that are tied to the comparator's input are connected to GND via SW+ and SW-. All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs. Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN- inputs. When the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high, a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase begins, SW+ and SW- are opened first. The two capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the inputs IN+ and IN- captured at the end of the acquisition phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor array between GND and REF, the comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps (REF/2, REF/4 ... REF/16,384). -FSR + 1 LSB +FSR - 1 LSB +FSR - 1.5 LSB -FSR + 0.5 LSB ANALOG INPUT 04656-024 000...001 Figure 24. ADC Ideal Transfer Function Table 7.

Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 0.3 V because this causes these diodes to begin to forwardbias and start conducting current. These diodes can handle a maximum forward-biased current of 130 mA. For instance, these conditions could eventually occur when the input buffer's (U1) supplies are different from VDD. In such a case, an input buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used to protect the part. GND Figure 26. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit The analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential signal between IN+ and IN-. By using this differential input, small signals common to both inputs are rejected, as shown in Figure 27, which represents the typical CMRR over frequency. For instance, by using IN- to sense a remote signal ground, ground potential differences between the sensor and the local ADC ground are eliminated. During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog inputs (IN+ or IN-) can be modeled as a parallel combination of capacitor, CPIN, and the network formed by the series connection of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance. RIN is typically 600 and is a lumped component made up of some serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor. During the conversion phase, when the switches are opened, the input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a 1-pole, low-pass filter, which reduces undesirable aliasing effects and limits the noise. When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the AD7946 can be driven directly. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance, especially total harmonic distortion (THD). The dc performances are less sensitive to the input impedance. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be Rev. A | Page 13 of 24 AD7946 tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the source impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown in Figure 28. Table 8.

Figure 28. THD vs. Analog Input Frequency and Source Resistance DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE Although the AD7946 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs to meet the following requirements: * Typical Application Very low noise, small and low power Very low noise and high frequency 5 V single-supply, low noise, and low power Low noise and high frequency Low power, low noise, and low frequency 5 V single-supply, low power Small, low power, and low frequency High frequency and low power The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise performance of the AD7946. Note that the AD7946 has a noise much lower than most of the other 14-bit ADCs and, therefore, can be driven by a noisier amplifier to meet a given system noise specification. The noise coming from the amplifier is filtered by the AD7946 analog input circuit 1-pole, low-pass filter made by RIN and CIN or by the external filter, if one is used. * For ac applications, the driver should have a THD performance commensurate with the AD7946. Figure 17 shows the THD vs. frequency that the driver should exceed. * For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver amplifier and the AD7946 analog input circuit must settle a full-scale step onto the capacitor array at a 14-bit level (0.006%). In the amplifier's data sheet, settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This could differ significantly from the settling time at a 14-bit level and should be verified prior to driver selection. If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 F (X5R, 1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum performance using a low temperature drift ADR43x reference. If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values down to 2.2 F can be used with a minimal impact on performance, especially DNL. Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value ceramic decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between the REF and GND pins. Rev. A | Page 14 of 24 AD7946 POWER SUPPLY SUPPLYING THE ADC FROM THE REFERENCE The AD7946 is specified at 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It uses two power supply pins: a core supply VDD and a digital input/output interface supply VIO. VIO allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V and VDD. To reduce the supplies needed, the VIO and VDD can be tied together. The AD7946 is independent of power supply sequencing between VIO and VDD. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 29, which represents PSRR over frequency. For simplified applications, the AD7946, with its low operating current, can be supplied directly using the reference circuit shown in Figure 31. The reference line can be driven by one of the following: * The system power supply directly. * A reference voltage with enough current output capability, such as the ADR43x. * A reference buffer, such as the AD8031 or AD8603, which can also filter the system power supply, as shown in Figure 31. 90 80 5V VDD = 5V 10k 5V 60 1k 1F 47k AD8603 10F 1F (NOTE 1) 50 REF VIO AD7946 04656-029 40 30 1 10 100 1k 10k NOTES 1.

PSRR vs. Frequency The AD7946 powers down automatically at the end of each conversion phase and, therefore, the power scales linearly with the sampling rate, as shown in Figure 30. This makes the part ideal for low sampling rate (even a few Hz) and low batterypowered applications. 1000 VDD = 5V 100 VIO 10 1 0.1 0.01 0.001 10 04656-051 OPERATING CURRENT (A) VDD 100 1k 10k 04656-031 PSRR (dB) 70 100k SAMPLING RATE (SPS) Figure 30. Operating Currents vs. Sampling Rate 1M Figure 32 shows a typical 14-bit single-supply application. There are different challenges to doing a single-supply, high resolution design, and the ADA4841 addresses these nicely. The combination of low noise, low power, wide input range, rail-to-rail output, and high speed make the ADA4841 a perfect driver solution for low power, single-supply 14-bit ADCs, such as the AD7946. In a single-supply system, one of the main challenges is to use the amplifier in buffer mode to have the lowest output noise and still preserve linearity compatible with the ADC. Rail-to-rail input amplifiers usually have higher noise than the ADA4841 and cannot be used on their entire input range in buffer mode because of the nonlinear region around the crossover point of their input stage. The ADA4841, which has no crossover region but has a wide linear input range from ground to 1 V below positive rail, solves this issue, as shown in Figure 32, where it can accept the 0 V to 4.096 V input range with a supply as low as 5.2 V. This supply allows using a small, low dropout, low temperature drift ADR364 reference voltage. Note that, like any rail-to-rail output amplifier at the low end of its output range close to ground, the ADA4841 can exhibit some nonlinearity on a small region of approximately 25 mV from ground. The ADA4841 drives a 1-pole, low-pass filter. This filter limits the already very low noise contribution from the amplifier to the AD7946. Rev.

Example of a Single-Supply Application Circuit DIGITAL INTERFACE Although the AD7946 has a reduced number of pins, it offers flexibility in its serial interface modes. The AD7946, when in CS mode, is compatible with SPI, QSPITM, digital hosts, and DSPs, for example, Blackfin(R) ADSP-BF53x or ADSP-219x. This interface can use either 3-wire or 4-wire. A 3-wire interface using the CNV, SCK, and SDO signals minimizes wiring connections useful, for instance, in isolated applications. A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV, SCK, and SDO signals allows CNV, which initiates the conversions, to be The operating mode depends on the SDI level when the CNV rising edge occurs. CS mode is selected if SDI is high, and chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected, the chain mode is always selected. In either mode, the AD7946 offers the flexibility to optionally force a start bit in front of the data bits. This start bit can be used as a BUSY signal indicator to interrupt the digital host and trigger the data reading. Otherwise, without a BUSY indicator, the user must time out the maximum conversion time prior to readback. BUSY indicator feature is enabled * In CS mode, if CNV or SDI is low when the ADC conversion ends (see Figure 36 and Figure 40). * In chain mode, if SCK is high during the CNV rising edge (see Figure 44). Rev. A | Page 16 of 24 AD7946 are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the 14th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance. CS MODE 3-WIRE, NO BUSY INDICATOR This mode is usually used when a single AD7946 is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 33 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 34. With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. Once a conversion is initiated, it continues to completion irrespective of the state of CNV. For instance, it could be useful to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned high before the minimum conversion time and held high until the maximum conversion time to avoid the generation of the BUSY signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, the AD7946 enters the acquisition phase and powers down. When CNV goes low, the MSB is output onto SDO.

After the optional 15th SCK falling edge, or when CNV goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance. CS MODE 3-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR This mode is usually used when a single AD7946 is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host having an interrupt input. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 35, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 36. If multiple AD7946s are selected at the same time, the SDO output pin handles this contention without damage or induced latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended to keep this contention as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation. With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. SDO is maintained in high impedance until the completion of the conversion irrespective of the state of CNV. Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNV could be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned low before the minimum conversion time and held low until the maximum conversion time to guarantee the generation of the BUSY signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to low. With a pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the data reading controlled by the digital host.

CS MODE 4-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR This mode is usually used when a single AD7946 is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host, which has an interrupt input, and it is desired to keep CNV, which is used to sample the analog input, independent of the signal used to select the data reading. This requirement is particularly important in applications where low jitter on CNV is desired. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 39, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 40. With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance.

The remaining data bits stored in the internal shift register are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the internal shift register and is clocked by the SCK falling edge. Each ADC in the chain outputs its data MSB first, and 14 x N clocks are required to readback the N ADCs. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate and consequently more AD7946s in the chain, provided the digital host has an acceptable hold time. The maximum conversion rate may be reduced due to the total readback time. For instance, with a 3 ns digital host setup time and 3 V interface, up to four AD7946s running at a conversion rate of 360 kSPS can be daisy-chained on a 3-wire port.

The pinout of the AD7946, with all its analog signals on the left side and all its digital signals on the right side, eases this task. At least one ground plane should be used. It could be common or split between the digital and analog sections. In the latter case, the planes should be joined underneath the AD7946s. 04656-044 Avoid running digital lines under the device because these couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the AD7946 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV or clocks, should never run near analog signal paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals should be avoided. Figure 45. Example of Layout of the AD7946 (Top Layer) The AD7946 voltage reference input REF has a dynamic input impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic inductances. This is done by placing the reference decoupling ceramic capacitor close to, and ideally right up against, the REF and GND pins and connecting it with wide, low impedance traces. Finally, the power supplies VDD and VIO of the AD7946 should be decoupled with ceramic capacitors (typically 100 nF) placed close to the AD7946 and connected using short and wide traces to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. 04656-045 An example of layout following these rules is shown in Figure 45 and Figure 46.
