GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD7946 is a 14-bit, charge redistribution successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single 5V 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. 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 3wire bus and 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.

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.

The point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line (Figure 21). 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 1 1/2 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) The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. Preliminary Technical Data Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to S/(N+D) by the following formula ENOB = (S /[N + D ]dB - 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 (S/[N+D]) S/(N+D) 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 S/(N+D) is expressed in dB. Aperture Delay Aperture delay is a measure 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 The time required for the ADC to accurately acquire its input after a full-scale step function was applied.

ADC Simplified Schematic CIRCUIT INFORMATION The AD7946 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise 14-bit ADC using a successive approximation architecture. The AD7946 is capable of converting 500,000 samples per second (500 kSPS) and powers down between conversions. When operating at 100 SPS, for example, it consumes typically 3.3W, 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 either 5 V, 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V digital logic. 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 20 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. During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array 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 (VREF/2, VREF/4 . . . VREF/16384). The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB, in order to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After the completion of 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.

Typical Application Diagram with multiple supplies Rev Pr D | Page 13 of 27 AD7946 Analog Input Preliminary Technical Data During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog input IN+ can be modeled as a parallel combination of capacitor C1 and the network formed by the series connection of R1 and C2. C1 is primarily the pin capacitance. R1 is typically 600 and is a lumped component made up of some serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. C2 is typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor. During the conversion phase, where the switches are opened, the input impedance is limited to C1. R1 and C2 make a 1-pole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effect 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 tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the source impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown in Figure 25. Figure 23 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of the AD7946. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog inputs IN+ and IN-. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 0.3 V because this will cause these diodes to become forward-biased and start conducting current. However, these diodes can handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA maximum. 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. VDD D1 CPIN GND CIN IN+ OR IN- RIN D2 Figure 23. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit This 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 24, 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. Figure 25. THD vs. Analog Input Frequency and Source Resistance Figure 24. Analog Input CMRR vs. Frequency Rev Pr D | Page 14 of 27 Preliminary Technical Data Driver Amplifier Choice Although the AD7946 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs to meet the following requirements: The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept as low as possible in order 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 14bit ADCs and, therefore, can be driven by a noisier op amp while preserving the same or better system performance. The noise coming from the driver is filtered by the AD7946 analog input circuit 1-pole, low-pass filter made by R1 and C2 or by the external filter, if one is used. * Table 8. Recommended Driver Amplifiers. Amplifier AD8021 AD8022 OP184 AD8605, AD8615 AD8519 AD8031 AD7946 Typical Application Very low noise and high frequency 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 Voltage Reference Input The AD7946 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input impedance and should therefore be driven by a low impedance source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND pins as explained in the Layout section. When REF is driven by a very low impedance source, e.g., a reference buffer using the AD8031 or the AD8605, a 10 F (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum performance. 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. For ac applications, the driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to that of the AD7946. Figure 12 gives the THD versus frequency that the driver should exceed. For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver amplifier and the AD7946 analog input circuit must be able to settle for a full-scale step of 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. * Rev Pr D | Page 15 of 27 AD7946 Power Supply The AD7946 is specified 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 26, which represents PSRR over frequency. Preliminary Technical Data Supplying the ADC from the Reference For simplified applications, the AD7946, with its low operating current, can be supplied directly using the reference circuit, as shown in Figure 28. The reference line can be driven by either: * * * The system power supply directly A reference voltage with enough current output capability, such as the ADR43x A reference buffer, such as the AD8031, that can also filter the system power supply, as shown in Figure 28. 5V 5V 10 5V 10k 1F AD8031 (NOTE 1) 10F 1F REF VDD VIO AD7946 Figure 26. PSRR vs. Frequency NOTE 1: OPTIONAL REFERENCE BUFFER AND FILTER 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 see Figure 27. This makes the part ideal for low sampling rate (even a few Hz) and low battery-powered applications. Figure 28. Example of Application Circuit Figure 27. Operating Currents vs. Sampling Rate Rev Pr D | Page 16 of 27 Preliminary Technical Data DIGITAL INTERFACE Though 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, QSPI, digital hosts, and DSPs, e.g., Blackfin(R) ADSP-BF53x or ADSP219x). 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 independent of the readback timing (SDI). This is useful in low jitter sampling or simultaneous sampling applications. The AD7946, when in chain mode, provides a daisy chain feature using the SDI input for cascading multiple ADCs on a single data line similar to a shift register. The mode in which the part operates depends on the SDI level when the CNV rising edge occurs. The CS mode is selected if SDI is high and the chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected together, 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. The BUSY indicator feature is enabled as follows: * In the CS mode, if CNV or SDI is low when the ADC conversion ends (Figure 32 and Figure 36). * In the chain mode, if SCK is high during the CNV rising edge (Figure 40). AD7946 Rev Pr D | Page 17 of 27 AD7946 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 29 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 30. 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 will continue 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. The remaining data bits Preliminary Technical Data 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 also using the SCK falling edge will allow 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. CONVERT CNV VIO SDI DIGITAL HOST SDO DATA IN AD7946 SCK CLK Figure 29.

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 31 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 32. 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. The AD7946 then enters the acquisition phase and AD7946 powers down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, 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 also using the SCK falling edge will allow a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional 15th SCK falling edge, or when CNV goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance.

A connection diagram example using two AD7946s is shown in Figure 33 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 34. With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI could be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but SDI must be returned high before the minimum conversion Preliminary Technical Data 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. Each ADC result can be read by bringing low its SDI input which consequently outputs the MSB onto SDO. The remaining data bits are then clocked by subsequent SCK driving edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the nondriving edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host also using the SCK falling edge will allow a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the 14th SCK falling edge, or when SDI goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance and another AD7946 can be read.

CS Mode 4-Wire, No BUSY Indicator Serial Interface Timing Rev Pr D | Page 20 of 27 04656-PrC-012 Preliminary Technical Data 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 35 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 36. With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI could be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but SDI 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.

With a pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the data readback controlled by the digital host. The AD7946 then enters the acquisition phase and powers down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK driving edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges.

CS Mode 4-Wire with BUSY Indicator Serial Interface Timing Rev Pr D | Page 21 of 27 AD7946 Chain Mode, No BUSY Indicator This mode can be used to daisy chain multiple AD7946s on a 3wire serial interface. This feature is useful for reducing component count and wiring connections, e.g., in isolated multiconverter applications or for systems with a limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to clocking a shift register. A connection diagram example using two AD7946s is shown in Figure 37 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 38. When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK low, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the chain mode, and disables the BUSY indicator. In this mode, CNV is held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data readback. When the conversion is complete, the MSB is output Preliminary Technical Data onto SDO and the AD7946 enters the acquisition phase and powers down. 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 also using the SCK falling edge will allow 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 5 ns digital host set-up time and 3 V interface, up to five AD7946s running at a conversion rate of 333 kSPS can be daisy-chained on a 3-wire port.

This feature is useful for reducing component count and wiring connections, e.g., in isolated multiconverter applications or for systems with a limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to clocking a shift register. A connection diagram example using three AD7946s is shown in Figure 39 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 40. When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the chain mode, and enables the BUSY indicator feature. In this mode, CNV is held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data readback. When all ADCs in the chain have completed their conversions, the nearend ADC ( ADC C in AD7946 Figure 39) SDO will be driven high. This transition on SDO can be used as a BUSY indicator to trigger the data readback controlled by the digital host. The AD7946 then enters the acquisition phase and powers down. The data bits stored in the internal shift register are then clocked out, MSB first, 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 + 1 clocks are required to readback the N ADCs. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host also using the SCK falling edge will allow a faster reading rate and, consequently more AD7946s in the chain, provided the digital host has an acceptable hold time. For instance, with a 5 ns digital host set-up time and 3 V interface, up to five AD7946s running at a conversion rate of 333 kSPS can be daisy-chained to a single 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. 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 At least one ground plane should be used. It could be common or split between the digital and analog section. In such a case, it should be joined underneath the AD7946s. The AD7946 voltage reference input REF has a dynamic input impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic inductances. That is done by placing the reference decoupling ceramic capacitor close to, and ideally right up against, the REF and GND pins and connect these pins with wide, low impedance traces. Finally, the power supply 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 large traces to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. An example of layout following these rules is shown in Figure 41 and Figure 42. Preliminary Technical Data Figure 41.
