AD7898–40CONVERTER DETAILS The AD7898 is a fast, 12-bit single supply A/D converter. It –45 provides the user with signal scaling, track/hold, A/D converter, and serial interface logic functions on a single chip. The A/D –50 converter section of the AD7898 consists of a conventional successive-approximation converter based around an R-2R –55 ladder structure. The signal scaling on the AD7898-10 and AD7898-3 allows the part to handle ± 10 V and ± 2.5 V input –60SINAD – dB signals, respectively, while operating from a single 5 V supply. VDD = VDRIVE = 5.25V The part requires an external 2.5 V reference. The reference –65VDD = VDRIVE = 4.75V input to the part is buffered on-chip. The AD7898 has two operating modes, an internal clocking mode using an on-chip –70 oscillator and an external clocking mode using the SCLK as VDD = 5.0V, VDRIVE = 3.0V–75 the master clock. The latter mode features a power-down 101001000 mechanism. These modes are discussed in more detail in the INPUT FREQUENCY – kHz Operating Modes section. TPC 5. SINAD vs. Input Frequency at 220 kSPS A major advantage of the AD7898 is that it provides all of the TPC 5 shows a graph of Signal to (Noise + Distortion) above functions in an 8-lead SOIC package. This offers the user ratio versus Input Frequency for various supply voltages considerable spacing saving advantages over alternative solutions. while sampling at 220 kSPS. The on-chip track-and-hold The AD7898 consumes only 22.5 mW maximum, making it can accommodate frequencies up to 4.7 MHz for AD7898-3, ideal for battery-powered applications. and up to 3.6 MHz for AD7898-10, making the AD7898 ideal In Mode 0 operation, conversion is initiated on the AD7898 by for subsampling applications. pulsing the CONVST input. On the falling edge of CONVST, Noise the on-chip track/hold goes from track to hold mode, and the In an A/D converter, noise exhibits itself as a code uncertainty conversion sequence is started. The conversion clock for the in dc applications, and as the noise floor (in an FFT, for part is generated internally using a laser-trimmed clock oscilla- example) in ac applications. In a sampling A/D converter like tor circuit. Conversion time for the AD7898 is 3.3 µs, and the the AD7898, all information about the analog input appears in quiet time is 0.1 µs. To obtain optimum performance from the the baseband, from dc to half the sampling frequency. The input part in Mode 0, the read operation should not occur during the bandwidth of the track/hold exceeds the Nyquist bandwidth conversion. and, therefore, an antialiasing filter should be used to remove In Mode 1 operation, conversion is initiated on the AD7898 by unwanted signals above fS/2 in the input signal in applications the falling edge of CS. Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to where such signals exist. complete the conversion and access the conversion result, after TPC 6 shows a histogram plot for 8192 conversions of a dc which time CS may be brought high. The internal oscillator is input using the AD7898. The analog input was set at the center not used as the conversion clock in this mode as the SCLK is of a code transition. It can be seen that almost all the codes used instead. The maximum SCLK frequency is 3.7 MHz in appear in one output bin, indicating very good noise perfor- Mode 1 providing a minimum conversion time of 4.33 µs. As in mance from the ADC. Mode 0, another conversion should not be initiated during the quiet time after the end of conversion. 6500 Both of these modes of operation allow the part to operate 6000 at throughput rates up to 220 kHz and achieve data sheet 5500 specifications. 50004500CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION4000Analog Input Section3500 The AD7898 is offered as two part types: the AD7898-10, 3000 which handles a ± 10 V input voltage range; the AD7898-3, 2500 which handles input voltage range ± 2.5 V. 20001500VREFAD7898-10/AD7898-31000500TO ADC REFERENCE0CIRCUITRY2044204520462047204820492050R2 TPC 6.
