AD7888 Figure 4 shows the typical power supply rejection ratio vs. CHARGE frequency for the part. The power supply rejection ratio is defined REDISTRIBUTIONDAC as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at frequency f SAMPLING to the power of a full-scale sine wave applied to the ADC of CAPACITORA frequency fs: AINCONTROLSW1BLOGIC PSRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/Pfs) ACQUISITIONAGNDPHASESW2COMPARATOR Pf = Power at frequency f in ADC output, Pfs = power at fre- quency fs in ADC full scale input. Here a 100 mV peak-to-peak (REF IN/REF OUT)/2 sine wave is coupled onto the VDD supply. Both the 2.7 V and 5.5 V supply performances are shown. Figure 5. ADC Acquisition Phase When the ADC starts a conversion, (see Figure 6), SW2 will open –75 and SW1 will move to Position B causing the comparator to VDD = 5.5V/2.7V become unbalanced.

When the comparator is rebalanced, the –81 conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC dB – –83 output code.

The part can be operated from 3 V (2.7 V to ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION 3.6 V) supply or from 5 V (4.75 V to 5.25 V) supply. When The output coding of the AD7888 is straight binary. The operated from either a 5 V supply or a 3 V supply, the AD7888 designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB is capable of throughput rates of 125 kSPS when provided with values (i.e., 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, etc.). The LSB size is = VREF/ a 2 MHz clock. 4096. The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7888 is shown in Figure 7 below. The AD7888 provides the user with an 8-channel multiplexer, on-chip track/hold, A/D converter, reference and serial interface housed in a tiny 16-lead TSSOP package, which offers the user considerable space saving advantages over alternative solutions. 111...111 The serial clock input accesses data from the part and also 111...110 provides the clock source for the successive-approximation A/D converter. The analog input range is 0 to VREF (where 111...000 the externally-applied VREF can be between 1.2 V and VDD). 1LSB = VREF/4096 The 8-channel multiplexer is controlled by the part’s Control ADC CODE 011...111 Register. This Control Register also allows the user to power-off the internal reference and to determine the Modes of Operation. 000...010000...001CONVERTER OPERATION000...0000.5LSB+VREF – 1.5LSB The AD7888 is a successive-approximation analog-to-digital 0VANALOG INPUT converter based around a charge redistribution DAC.
