The ADS8484 is a high-speed successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
architecture is based on charge redistribution which inherently includes a sample/hold function. See Figure 36 for
the application circuit for the ADS8484.
The conversion clock is generated internally. The conversion time of 610 ns is capable of sustaining a 1.25-MHz
throughput.
The analog input is provided to two input pins: +IN and –IN. When a conversion is initiated, the differential input
on these pins is sampled on the internal capacitor array. While a conversion is in progress, both inputs are
disconnected from any internal function.
REFERENCE
The ADS8484 can operate with an external reference with a range from 3.0 V to 4.2 V. The reference voltage on
the input pin 13 (REFIN) of the converter is internally buffered. A clean, low noise, well-decoupled reference
voltage on this pin is required to ensure good performance of the converter. A low noise band-gap reference like
the REF3240 can be used to drive this pin. A 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor is required between REFIN and REFM
pins (pin 13 and pin 12) of the converter. This capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the pins of the
device. Designers should strive to minimize the routing length of the traces that connect the terminals of the
capacitor to the pins of the converter. An RC network can also be used to filter the reference voltage. A 100-Ω
series resistor and a 0.1-µF capacitor, which can also serve as the decoupling capacitor can be used to filter the
reference voltage.

The REFM input of the ADS8484 should always be shorted to AGND. A 4.096-V internal reference is included.
When internal reference is used, pin 14 (REFOUT) is connected to pin 13 (REFIN) with an 0.1-µF decoupling
capacitor and 1-µF storage capacitor between pin 14 (REFOUT) and pins 11 and 12 (REFM) (see Figure 37).
The internal reference of the converter is double buffered. If an external reference is used, the second buffer
provides isolation between the external reference and the CDAC. This buffer is also used to recharge all of the
capacitors of the CDAC during conversion. Pin 14 (REFOUT) can be left unconnected (floating) if external
reference is used.

ANALOG INPUT
When the converter enters the hold mode, the voltage difference between the +IN and –IN inputs is captured on
the internal capacitor array. Both +IN and –IN input has a range of –0.2 V to Vref + 0.2 V. The input span [+IN –
(–IN)] is limited to –Vref to Vref.
The input current on the analog inputs depends upon a number of factors: sample rate, input voltage, and source
impedance. Essentially, the current into the ADS8484 charges the internal capacitor array during the sample
period. After this capacitance has been fully charged, there is no further input current. The source of the analog
input must be able to charge the input capacitance (65 pF) to an 18-bit settling level within the acquisition time
(175 ns) of the device. When the converter goes into the hold mode, the input impedance is greater than 1 GΩ.
Care must be taken regarding the absolute analog input voltage. To maintain the linearity of the converter, the
+IN and –IN inputs and the span [+IN – (–IN)] must be within the limits specified. Outside of these ranges, the
converter's linearity may not meet specifications. To minimize noise, low bandwidth input signals with low-pass
filters are used.
Care must be taken to ensure that the output impedance of the sources driving the +IN and –IN inputs are
matched. If this is not observed, the two inputs could have different setting times. This may result in offset error,
gain error, and linearity error which varies with temperature and input voltage.
The analog input to the converter needs to be driven with a low noise, high-speed op-amp like the THS4031. An
RC filter is recommended at the input pins to low-pass filter the noise from the source. The input to the converter
is a uni-polar input voltage in the range 0 to Vref. The THS4031 can be used in the source follower configuration
to drive the converter.

Figure 40. Single-Ended Input, Differential Output Configuration
In systems, where the input is differential, the THS4031 can be used in the inverting configuration with an
additional DC bias applied to its + input so as to keep the input to the ADS8484 within its rated operating voltage
range. The DC bias can be derived from the REF3220 or the REF3240 reference voltage ICs. The input
configuration shown below is capable of delivering better than 97dB SNR and -103db THD at an input frequency
of 100 kHz. In case band-pass filters are used to filter the input, care should be taken to ensure that the signal
swing at the input of the band-pass filter is small so as to keep the distortion introduced by the filter minimal. In
such cases, the gain of the circuit shown below can be increased to keep the input to the ADS8484 large to keep
the SNR of the system high. Note that the gain of the system from the + input to the output of the THS4031 in
such a configuration is a function of the gain of the AC signal. A resistor divider can be used to scale the output
of the REF3220 or REF3240 to reduce the voltage at the DC input to THS4031 to keep the voltage at the input
of the converter within its rated operating range.

SLAS511 – NOVEMBER 2007
Conversions are initiated by bringing the CONVST pin low for a minimum of 20 ns (after the 20 ns minimum
requirement has been met, the CONVST pin can be brought high), while CS is low. The ADS8484 switches from
the sample to the hold mode on the falling edge of the CONVST command. A clean and low jitter falling edge of
this signal is important to the performance of the converter. The BUSY output is brought high immediately
following CONVST going low. BUSY stays high throughout the conversion process and returns low when the
conversion has ended.
Sampling starts tpd ns before the falling edge of the BUSY signal when CS is tied low or starts with the falling
edge of CS when BUSY is low.
Both RD and CS can be high during and before a conversion with one exception (CS must be low when
CONVST goes low to initiate a conversion). Both the RD and CS pins are brought low in order to enable the
parallel output bus with the conversion.
Reading Data
The ADS8484 outputs full parallel data in two's complement format as shown in Table 1. The parallel output is
active when CS and RD are both low. There is a minimal quiet zone requirement around the falling edge of
CONVST. This is 50 ns prior to the falling edge of CONVST and 40 ns after the falling edge. No data read should
attempted within this zone. Any other combination of CS and RD sets the parallel output to 3-state. BYTE and
BUS18/16 are used for multiword read operations. BYTE is used whenever lower bits on the bus are output on
the higher byte of the bus. BUS18/16 is used whenever the last two bits on the 18-bit bus is output on either
bytes of the higher 16-bit bus. Refer to Table 1 for ideal output codes.

The output data is a full 18-bit word (D17–D0) on DB17–DB0 pins (MSB–LSB) if both BUS18/16 and BYTE are
low.
The result may also be read on an 16-bit bus by using only pins DB17–DB2. In this case two reads are
necessary: the first as before, leaving both BUS18/16 and BYTE low and reading the 16 most significant bits
(D17–D2) on pins DB17–DB2, then bringing BUS18/16 high while holding BYTE low. When BUS18/16 is high,
the lower two bits (D1–D0) appear on pins DB3–DB2.
The result may also be read on an 8-bit bus for convenience. This is done by using only pins DB17–DB10. In this
case three reads are necessary: the first as before, leaving both BUS18/16 and BYTE low and reading the 8
most significant bits on pins DB17–DB10, then bringing BYTE high while holding BUS18/16 low. When BYTE is
high, the medium bits (D9–D2) appear on pins DB17–DB10. The last read is done by bringing BUS18/16 high
while holding BYTE high. When BUS18/16 is high, the lower two bits (D1–D0) appear on pins DB11–DB10. The
last read cycle is not necessary if only the first 16 most significant bits are of interest.
All of these multiword read operations can be performed with multiple active RD (toggling) or with RD held low
for simplicity. This is referred to as the AUTO READ operation.

RESET
On power-up, internal POWER-ON RESET circuitry generates the reset required for the device. The first three
conversions after power-up are used to load factory trimming data for a specific device to assure high accuracy
of the converter. The results of the first three conversions are invalid and should be discarded.
The device can also be reset through the use of the combination fo CS and CONVST. Since the BUSY signal is
held at high during the conversion, either one of these conditions triggers an internal self-clear reset to the
converter.
• Issue a CONVST when CS is low and the internal convert state is high. The falling edge of CONVST starts a
reset.
• Issue a CS (select the device) while the internal convert state is high. The falling edge of CS causes a reset.
Once the device is reset, all output latches are cleared (set to zeroes) and the BUSY signal is brought low. A
new sampling period is started at the falling edge of the BUSY signal immediately after the instant of the internal
reset.
LAYOUT
For optimum performance, care must be taken with the physical layout of the ADS8484 circuitry.
As the ADS8484 offers single-supply operation, it is often used in close proximity with digital logic,
microcontrollers, microprocessors, and digital signal processors. The more digital logic present in the design and
the higher the switching speed, the more difficult it is to achieve good performance from the converter.
The basic SAR architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden changes on the power supply, reference, ground
connections and digital inputs that occur just prior to latching the output of the analog comparator. Thus, driving
any single conversion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are at least n windows in which large external transient
voltages can affect the conversion result. Such glitches might originate from switching power supplies, nearby
digital logic, or high power devices.
The degree of error in the digital output depends on the reference voltage, layout, and the exact timing of the
external event.
On average, the ADS8484 draws very little current from an external reference as the reference voltage is
internally buffered. If the reference voltage is external and originates from an op amp, make sure that it can drive
the bypass capacitor or capacitors without oscillation. A 0.1-µF capacitor is recommended from pin 13 (REFIN)
directly to pin 12 (REFM). REFM and AGND must be shorted on the same ground plane under the device.
The AGND and BDGND pins should be connected to a clean ground point. In all cases, this should be the
analog ground. Avoid connections which are too close to the grounding point of a microcontroller or digital signal
processor. If required, run a ground trace directly from the converter to the power supply entry point. The ideal
layout consists of an analog ground plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog circuitry.
As with the AGND connections, +VA should be connected to a 5-V power supply plane or trace that is separate
from the connection for digital logic until they are connected at the power entry point. Power to the ADS8484
should be clean and well bypassed. A 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor should be placed as close to the device
as possible. See Table 3 for the placement of the capacitor. In addition, a 1-µF to 10-µF capacitor is
recommended. In some situations, additional bypassing may be required, such as a 100-µF electrolytic capacitor
or even a Pi filter made up of inductors and capacitors-all designed to essentially low-pass filter the 5-V supply,
removing the high frequency noise.
