It consists of a 3 µs track/hold amplifier, a 12 µs successive-approximation ADC, versatile interface logic and a multiple-input-range circuit. The part also includes a power save feature. 1. Fast Conversion Time. 12 µs conversion time and 3 µs acquisition time allow for large input signal bandwidth. This performance is ideally suited for applications in areas such as telecommunications, audio, sonar and radar signal processing. An internal resistor network allows the part to accept both unipolar and bipolar input signals while operating from a single +5 V supply. Fast bus access times and standard control inputs ensure easy interfacing to modern microprocessors and digital signal processors. 2. Low Power Consumption. 2 mW power consumption in the power-down mode makes the part ideally suited for portable, hand held, battery powered applications. The AD7880 features a total throughput time of 15 µs and can convert full power signals up to 33 kHz with a sampling frequency of 66 kHz. 3. Multiple Input Ranges. The part features three user-determined input ranges, 0 V to +5 V, 0 V to 10 V and ± 5 V. These unipolar and bipolar ranges are achieved with a 5 V only power supply. In addition to the traditional dc accuracy specifications such as linearity, full-scale and offset errors, the AD7880 is also fully specified for dynamic performance parameters including harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio. The AD7880 is fabricated in Analog Devices’ Linear Compatible CMOS (LC2MOS) process, a mixed technology process that combines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS logic. The part is available in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch-wide, plastic or hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP) as well as a small 24-lead SOIC package.

The part requires no external components apart from a 2.5 MHz external clock and power supply decoupling capacitors. It contains a 12-bit successive approximation ADC based on a fast-settling voltage-output DAC, a high speed comparator and SAR, as well as the necessary control logic. The charge balancing comparator used in the AD7880 provides the user with an inherent trackand-hold function. The ADC is specified to work with sampling rates up to 66 kHz. VINA + R VINB – VDAC Figure 4. AD7880 Input Circuit CONVERTER DETAILS The AD7880 conversion cycle is initiated on the rising edge of the CONVST pulse, as shown in the timing diagram of Figure 1. The rising edge of the CONVST pulse places the track/hold amplifier into “HOLD” mode. The conversion cycle then takes between 26 and 28 clock periods. The maximum specified conversion time is 12 µs. This corresponds to a conversion cycle time of 28 clock periods with a CLKIN frequency of 2.5 MHz and also includes internal propagation delays. During conversion the BUSY output will remain low, and the output databus drivers will be three-stated. When a conversion is completed, the BUSY output will go to a high level, and the result of the conversion can be read by bringing CS and RD low. The track/hold amplifier acquires a 12-bit input signal in 3 µs. The overall throughput time for the AD7880 is equal to the conversion time plus the track/hold acquisition time. For a 2.5 MHz input clock the throughput time is 15 µs. The AD7880 accommodates three separate input ranges, 0 to VREF, 0 to 2 VREF and ± VREF. The input configurations corresponding to these ranges are shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7. With VREF = VDD and using a nominal VDD of +5 V, the input ranges are 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V and +5 V, as shown in Table II. Table II.

Figure 5 shows the analog input for the 0 V to 5 V range. The designed code transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs, 5/2 LSBs . . . FS –3/2 LSBs). The output code is straight binary with 1 LSB = FS/4096 = 5 V/4096 = 1.22 mV. The same applies for the 0 V to 10 V range, as shown in Figure 6, except that the LSB size is bigger. In this case 1 LSB = FS/4096 = 10 V/4096 = 2.44 mV. The ideal input/output transfer characteristic for both these unipolar ranges is shown in Figure 8. 111...111 111...110 111...101 111...100 000...011 1LSB = 000...010 FS 4096 000...001 000...000 0V The AD7880 is specified to operate with a 2.5 MHz clock connected to the CLKIN input pin. This pin may be driven directly by CMOS or TTL buffers. The mark/space ratio on the clock can vary from 40/60 to 60/40. As the clock frequency is slowed down, it can result in slightly degraded accuracy performance. This is due to leakage effects on the hold capacitor in the internal track-and-hold amplifier. Figure 10 is a typical plot of accuracy versus clock frequency for the ADC. 2.5 AA AA AA AA AA AA AA NORMALIZED LINEARITY ERROR OUTPUT CODE CLOCK INPUT 011...111 011...110 000...001 000...000 – FS 2 AA AA AA A –1LSB +1LSB 2.5 3.5 The charge balanced comparator used in the AD7880 for the A/D conversion provides the user with an inherent track/hold function. The track/hold amplifier acquires an input signal to 12-bit accuracy in less than 3 µs. The overall throughput time is equal to the conversion time plus the track/hold amplifier acquisition time. For a 2.5 MHz input clock, the throughput time is 15 µs. The operation of the track/hold amplifier is essentially transparent to the user. The track/hold amplifier goes from its tracking mode to its hold mode at the start of conversion, i.e., on the rising edge of CONVST as shown in Figure 1.

Offset error can always be eliminated in the analog domain by ac coupling. Full-scale error effect is linear and does not cause problems as long as the input signal is within the full dynamic range of the ADC. Some applications will require that the input signal range match the maximum possible dynamic range of the ADC. In such applications, offset and full-scale error will have to be adjusted to zero. + FS – 1LSB 2 FS = 10V 1LSB = FS 4096 The following sections describe suggested offset and full-scale adjustment techniques which rely on adjusting the inherent offset of the op amp driving the input to the ADC as well as tweaking an additional external potentiometer as shown in Figure 11. 0V VIN INPUT VOLTAGE Figure 9.

The signal is the rms magnitude of the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all the nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (FS/2) excluding dc. SNR is dependent upon the number of quantization levels used in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The theoretical signal to noise ratio for a sine wave input is given by: AGND SNR = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB (1) *ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY where N is the number of bits. Thus for an ideal 12-bit converter, SNR = 74 dB. Figure 11. Offset and Full-Scale Adjust Circuit Unipolar Adjustments In the case of the 0 V to 5 V unipolar input configuration, unipolar offset error must be adjusted before full-scale error. Adjustment is achieved by trimming the offset of the op amp driving the analog input of the AD7880. This is done by applying an input voltage of 0.61 mV (1/2 LSB) to V1 in Figure 11 and adjusting the op amp offset voltage until the ADC output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001. For full-scale adjustment, an input voltage of 4.9982 V (FS–3/2 LSBs) is applied to V1 and R2 is adjusted until the output code flickers between 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111. The output spectrum from the ADC is evaluated by applying a sine wave signal of very low distortion to the VIN input which is sampled at a 66 kHz sampling rate. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) plot is generated from which the SNR data can be obtained. Figure 12 shows a typical 2048 point FFT plot of the AD7880 with an input signal of 2.5 kHz and a sampling frequency of 61 kHz. The SNR obtained from this graph is 73 dB. It should be noted that the harmonics are taken into account when calculating the SNR. The same procedure is required for the 0 V to 10 V input configuration of Figure 6. An input voltage of 1.22 mV (1/2 LSB) is applied to V1 in Figure 11 and the op amp’s offset voltage is adjusted until the ADC output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001. For full-scale adjustment, an input voltage of 9.9963 V (FS–3/2 LSBs) is applied to V1 and R2 is adjusted until the output code flickers between 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111. Bipolar Adjustments Bipolar zero and full-scale errors for the bipolar input configuration of Figure 7 are adjusted in a similar fashion to the unipolar case. Again, bipolar zero error must be adjusted before full-scale error. Bipolar zero error adjustment is achieved by trimming the offset of the op amp driving the analog input of the AD7880 while the input voltage is 1/2 LSB below ground. This is done by applying an input voltage of –1.22 mV (1/2 LSB) to V1 in Figure 11 and adjusting the op amp offset voltage until the ADC output code flickers between 0111 1111 1111 and 1000 0000 0000. For full-scale adjustment, an input voltage of 4.9982 V (FS/2–3/2 LSBs) is applied to V1 and R2 is adjusted until the output code flickers between 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111. Figure 12. FFT Plot Effective Number of Bits The formula given in Equation 1 relates the SNR to the number of bits. Rewriting the formula, as in Equation 2, it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed in effective number of bits (N). N= DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS The AD7880 is specified and tested for dynamic performance specifications as well as traditional dc specifications such as integral and differential nonlinearity. The ac specifications are required for signal processing applications such as speech recognition, spectrum analysis and high speed modems. These applications require information on the ADC’s effect on the spectral content of the input signal. Hence, the parameters for which the AD7880 is specified include SNR, harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion and peak harmonics. These terms are discussed in more detail in the following sections. REV. 0 SNR − 1.76 6.02 (2) The effective number of bits for a device can be calculated directly from its measured SNR. Figure 13 shows a plot of effective number of bits versus input frequency for an AD7880 with a sampling frequency of 61 kHz. The effective number of bits typically remains better than 11.5 for frequencies up to 12 kHz. –7– AD7880 Using the CCIF standard where two input frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used, the second and third order terms are of different significance. The second order terms are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves, while the third order terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the second and third order terms are specified separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is as per the THD specification where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the fundamental expressed in dBs. In this case, the input consists of two, equal amplitude, low distortion, sine waves. Figure 14 shows a typical IMD plot for the AD7880. EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS 12 11.5 11 10.5 SAMPLE FREQUENCY = 61kHz TA = 25 C 10 15 INPUT FREQUENCY – kHz 30.5 Figure 13. Effective Number of Bits vs. Frequency Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the rms value of the fundamental. For the AD7880, THD is defined as: 2 THD = 20 log 2 2 2 V 2 + V 3 + V 4 + V5 + V 6 V1 2 (3) where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the sixth harmonic. The THD is also derived from the FFT plot of the ADC output spectrum. Intermodulation Distortion With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation terms are those for which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For example, the second order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), while the third order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and (fa – 2fb). Figure 14. IMD Plot Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output spectrum (up to FS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification will be determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for parts where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor the peak will be a noise peak. –8– REV. 0 AD7880 MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING The AD7880 high speed bus timing allows direct interfacing to real time digital signal processors, DSPs, as well as modern high speed, 16-bit microprocessors. Suitable microprocessor interfaces are shown in Figures 15 through 20. TIMER PA2 ADDRESS BUS PA0 AD7880–ADSP-2100 Interface Figure 15 shows an interface between the AD7880 and the ADSP-2100. Conversion is initiated using a timer to drive the CONVST input asynchronously to the microprocessor. This allows very accurate control of the sampling instant. When conversion is complete, the AD7880 BUSY line goes high. An inverter on this BUSY output drives the IRQ line low thus providing an interrupt to the ADSP-2100 when conversion is completed. The conversion result is then read from the AD7880 into the ADSP-2100 with the following instruction: MEN ADDR DECODE CONVST EN CS TMS32010 AD7880* RD DEN INT BUSY AA DB11 DB0 MR0 = DM(ADC) D15 DATA BUS where MR0 is the ADSP-2100 MR0 Register and where ADC is the AD7880 address.

The TMS320C25 does not have a separate RD output to drive the AD7880 RD input directly. This has to be generated from the processor STRB and R/W outputs with the addition of some logic gates. The RD signal is OR-gated with the MSC signal to provide the one WAIT state required in the read cycle for correct interface timing. Conversion results are read from the AD7880 using the following instruction: IN D,ADC DB11 DB0 where D is Data Memory Address and where ADC is the AD7880 address.

AD7880–TMS320C25 Interface Some applications may require that the conversion be initiated by the microprocessor rather than an external timer. One option is to decode the AD7880 CONVST from the address bus so that –9– AD7880 a write operation starts a conversion. Data is read at the end of the conversion sequence as before. Figure 19 shows an example of initiating conversion using this method. A similar implementation can be used for DSPs. Note that for all interfaces, a read operation should not be attempted during conversion. ADDRESS BUS ADDR DECODE 8086 CS AD7880–MC68000 Interface An interface between the AD7880 and the MC68000 is shown in Figure 18. As before, conversion is initiated using an external timer. The AD7880 BUSY line can be used to interrupt the processor or, alternatively, software delays can ensure that conversion has been completed before a read to the AD7880 is attempted. Because of the nature of its interrupts, the 68000 requires additional logic (not shown in Figure 18) to allow it to be interrupted correctly.

AD7880–8086 Interface AD7880–6809 Interface The AD7880 can also interface quite easily with 8-bit microprocessors. The 12-bit parallel data output from the AD7880 can be read into the microprocessor as an 8+4 byte structure. Figure 20 shows an interface to the MC6809 8-bit microprocessor. As in previous cases, conversion is initiated using an external timer. At the end of conversion, BUSY triggers a one-shot which drives the IRQ interrupt input of the microprocessor. A double read is then performed to two unique addresses. The first read fetches the lower 8 bits (DB0–DB7) and loads the 74HC374 latch with the upper 4 bits (DB8–DB11). The second read fetches these upper 4 bits.

The AD7880’s comparator is required to make bit decisions on an LSB size of 1.22 mV. To achieve this, the designer must be conscious of noise both in the ADC itself and in the preceding analog circuitry. Switching mode power supplies are not recommended, as the switching spikes will feed through to the comparator causing noisy code transitions. Other causes of concern are ground loops and digital feedthrough from microprocessors. These are factors which influence any ADC, and a proper PCB layout which minimizes these effects is essential for best performance. LK2 A B AA V+ V+ ANALOG INPUT VDD C2 0.1µF C1 10µF LK1 + SKT1 V+ IC1 – TO ADC V– C4 0.1µF C3 10µF AA LAYOUT HINTS Ensure that the layout for the printed circuit board has the digital and analog signal lines separated as much as possible. Take care not to run digital tracks alongside analog signal tracks. Guard (screen) the analog input with AGND. V– A B LK3 Figure 21. Analog Input Buffering Establish a single point analog ground (star ground) separate from the logic system ground at the AD7880 AGND pin or as close as possible to the AD7880. Connect all other grounds and the AD7880 DGND to this single analog ground point. Do not connect any other digital grounds to this analog ground point. When it is required to drive the AD7880 with the 0 V to 10 V input range, an external supply must be connected to V+ (see Figure 21). Low impedance analog and digital power supply common returns are essential to low noise operation of the ADC, so make the foil width for these tracks as wide as possible. The use of ground planes minimizes impedance paths and also guards the analog circuitry from digital noise. The circuit layout of Figures 26 and 27 have both analog and digital ground planes which are kept separated and only joined together at the AD7880 AGND pin. The AD711 is a general purpose op amp which could be used to drive the analog input of the AD7880. In bipolar operation, positive and negative supplies must be connected to V+ and V–. POWER-DOWN CONTROL (MODE INPUT) NOISE Keep the input signal leads to VIN and signal return leads from AGND as short as possible to minimize input noise coupling. In applications where this is not possible, use a shielded cable between the source and the ADC. Reduce the ground circuit impedance as much as possible since any potential difference in grounds between the signal source and the ADC appears as an error voltage in series with the input signal. The AD7880 is designed for systems which need to have minimum power consumption. This includes such applications as hand held, portable battery powered systems and remote monitoring systems. As well as consuming minimum power under normal operating conditions, typically 20 mW, the AD7880 can be put into a power-down or sleep mode when not required to convert signals. When in this power-down mode, the AD7880 consumes approximately 2 mW of power. ANALOG INPUT BUFFERING The AD7880 is powered down by bringing the MODE input pin to a Logic Low in conjunction with keeping the RD input control High. The AD7880 will remain in the power-down mode until MODE is brought to a Logic High again. The MODE input should be driven with CD4000 or HCMOS logic levels. To achieve specified performance, it is recommended that the analog input (VINA, VINB) be driven from a low impedance source. This necessitates the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of op amp will be a function of the particular application and the desired analog input range. The data acquisition circuit, described in this data sheet allows for various op amp configurations. Figure 21 shows the analog input buffer circuit. It is recommended that one “dummy” conversion be implemented before reading conversion data from the AD7880 after it has been in the power-down mode. This is required to reset all internal logic and control circuitry. In a remote monitoring system where, say, 10 conversions are required to be taken with a sampling interval of 1 second, an additional 11th conversion must be carried out. Figure 22 gives a plot of power consumption The options available to drive the supply of the op amp are: Single +5 V (derived from PCB 5 V supply) POWER CONSUMPTION – mW Dual Supply (externally supplied to V+ and V–) ± 5 V, ± 12 V or ± 15 V CONVERTING CONVERTING POWER-DOWN POWER-DOWN 2 0 The simplest configuration is the 0 V to 5 V range of Figure 5. A single supply 5 V op amp is recommended for such an implementation. This will allow for operation of the AD7880 in the 0 V to 5 V unipolar range without supplying an external supply to V+ and V–. The 5 V supply is derived from the systems +5 V VDD supply. REV. 0 AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA 20 1.65 x 10 – 4 1 2 TIME – secs Figure 22.

The total conversion time for each cycle is 11 × 15 µs (where 15 µs is the time taken for a single conversion) corresponding to 1.65 × 10–4 secs. Hence: Average Power LK1 = PowerCONVERTING + PowerPOWER-DOWN = {20 mW × (1.65 × 10–4)/(10)} + {2 mW × (9.9998)/(10)} = 2.029 mW AD7880 DATA ACQUISITION LAYOUT Figure 24 shows the AD7880 in a data acquisition circuit. The corresponding printed circuit board (PCB) layout and silkscreen are shown in Figures 25 to 27. The only additional component required for a full data acquisition system is an antialiasing filter. There is a component grid provided near the analog input on the PCB which may be used for such a filter or any other input conditioning circuitry. To facilitate this option there is a shorting link (labeled LK1 on the PCB) on the analog input track. With LK1 in place, the analog input connects to the buffer amplifier driving the AD7880. With LK1 removed, a wire link is needed to connect the analog input to the PCB component grid. Connects the analog input to a buffer amplifier. The analog input may also be connected to a component grid for signal conditioning. LK2, LK3 Allows for various op amp power supplies to be used to drive the input buffer of the AD7880. External supplies may be connected to V+ and V–. Alternatively, the AD7880’s +5 V system supply and AGND can be selected to drive a single supply op amp. LK4 Configures the various analog input ranges, 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V or ± 5 V. LK5 Selects reference input to VREF of AD7880. Normally connected to VDD. An external reference could also be wired in. LK6 Selects power-down or sleep mode. The shorting plug is connected to VDD for normal operation. LK7 Connects the AD7880 RD input directly to the RD input of SKT4 or to a decoded STRB and R/W input. This shorting plug setting depends on the microprocessor, e.g., the TMS320C25 requires a decoded RD signal. INTERFACE CONNECTIONS The data acquisition board contains a parallel connection port labeled SKT4. This is a 26-contact IDC Connector and provides for direct microprocessor connection to the board. This connector, the pinout of which is shown in Figure 23, contains all data, control and status signals of the AD7880 (with the exception of the CONVST and the CLKIN inputs both of which are provided via SKT2 and SKT3 respectively). It also contains decoded R/W and STRB inputs which are necessary for interfacing to many microprocessors including the TMS320C25 and the Motorola 68000 series. Link LK7 selects RD directly or alternatively, the decoded version. Note that the AD7880 CS input must be decoded prior to the AD7880 evaluation board. SKT1, SKT2 and SKT3 are three sub-miniature connectors (SMC) which provide input connections for the analog input, the CONVST input and the CLKIN input. Three different input ranges can be accepted by the AD7880 each of which is configured by selecting shorting plug options A, B or C of LK4. Position A corresponds to the 0 V to 5 V unipolar configuration of Figure 5, position B corresponds to the bipolar ± 5 V configuration of Figure 7 and position C allows for a 0 V to +10 V unipolar range as shown in Figure 6. POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS The PCB requires a single +5 V power supply (labeled VDD). Good decoupling allows this supply to drive the AD7880 VDD which also drives the VREF input as well as the op amp power supply. In circumstances where bipolar ± 5 V or a unipolar 0 V to 10 V input ranges are required, provision has been allowed for the connection of separate op amp power supplies (± 15 V, ± 12 V, ± 5 V, etc.) to V+ and V–. LK2 and LK3 shorting links allow for the selection of user defined op amp power supplies or the on-board single +5 V supply.
