APPLICATIONS Battery-powered systems Personal digital assistants Medical instruments Mobile communications Instrumentation and control systems Data acquisition systems High speed modems Optical sensors GENERAL DESCRIPTION PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS The AD7910/AD7920 1 are, respectively, 10-bit and 12-bit, high speed, low power, successive approximation ADCs. The parts operate from a single 2.35 V to 5.25 V power supply and feature throughput rates up to 250 kSPS. The parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input frequencies in excess of 13 MHz. 1. 10-/12-bit ADCs in SC70 and MSOP packages. 2. Low power consumption. 3. Flexible power/serial clock speed management. The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing the conversion time to be reduced through the serial clock speed increase. This allows the average power consumption to be reduced when power-down mode is used while not converting. The part also features a power-down mode to maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates. Current consumption is 1 μA maximum and 50 nA typically when in power-down mode. 4. Reference derived from the power supply. 5. No pipeline delay. The parts feature a standard successive approximation ADC with accurate control of the sampling instant via a CS input and once-off conversion control. The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using CS and the serial clock, allowing the devices to interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of CS and the conversion is initiated at this point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part. The AD7910/AD7920 use advanced design techniques to achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput rates. The reference for the part is taken internally from VDD. This allows the widest dynamic input range to the ADC. Thus, the analog input range for the part is 0 to VDD. The conversion rate is determined by the SCLK. 1 Protected by U.S. Patent No. 6,681,332.

The AD7920 can also operate with slower clock frequencies. From Figure 4, having fSCLK = 3.4 MHz and a throughput rate of 150 kSPS gives a cycle time of t2 + 12.5(1/fSCLK) + tACQ = 6.66 μs. With t2 = 10 ns min, this leaves tACQ to be 2.97 μs. This 2.97 μs satisfies the requirement of 250 ns for tACQ. From Figure 4, tACQ comprises 2.5(1/fSCLK) + t8 + tQUIET, t8 = 36 ns max. This allows a value of 2.19 μs for tQUIET, satisfying the minimum requirement of 50 ns. As in this example and with other slower clock values, the signal may already be acquired before the conversion is complete, but it is still necessary to leave 50 ns minimum tQUIET between conversions. In this example, the signal should be fully acquired at approximately Point C in Figure 4. TIMING EXAMPLE 1 From Figure 4, having fSCLK = 5 MHz and a throughput rate of 250 kSPS gives a cycle time of t2 + 12.5(1/fSCLK) + tACQ = 4 μs. With t2 = 10 ns min, this leaves tACQ to be 1.49 μs. This 1.49 μs satisfies the requirement of 250 ns for tACQ. From Figure 4, tACQ comprises 2.5(1/fSCLK) + t8 + tQUIET, where t8 = 36 ns max. This allows a value of 954 ns for tQUIET, satisfying the minimum requirement of 50 ns. t1 CS tCONVERT t6 1 SCLK 2 3 4 B 5 13 14 15 16 t5 t3 SDATA Z THREESTATE t4 ZERO ZERO t8 t7 ZERO DB11 tQUIET DB10 DB2 DB1 DB0 THREE-STATE 4 LEADING ZEROS 02976-003 t2 Figure 3.

For the AD7920 and AD7910, the endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB above the last code transition. Total Unadjusted Error A comprehensive specification that includes gain error, linearity error, and offset error. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. It is defined as: Differential Nonlinearity The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC. THD (dB) = 20 log Offset Error The deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to (00 . . . 001) from the ideal, that is, GND + 1 LSB. Gain Error The deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to (111 . . . 111) from the ideal, that is, VREF − 1 LSB after the offset error has been adjusted out. Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end of conversion. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach its final value, within ±0.5 LSB, after the end of conversion. See the Serial Interface section for more details. Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio The measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) at the output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization process. The more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by: Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB Thus, for a 12-bit converter this is 74 dB, and for a 10-bit converter this is 62 dB. V22 + V32 + V42 + V52 + V62 V1 where: V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental. V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the sixth harmonics. Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise Peak harmonic or spurious noise is 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 is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for ADCs whose harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it is a noise peak. Intermodulation Distortion With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms are those for which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For example, the secondorder terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), while the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa − 2fb). The AD7910/AD7920 are tested using the CCIF standard, where two input frequencies are used (see fa and fb in the Specifications page). In this case, 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, the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the fundamentals, expressed in dB.

The parts can be operated from a 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply. When operated from either a 5 V supply or a 3 V supply, the AD7910/AD7920 are capable of throughput rates of 250 kSPS when provided with a 5 MHz clock. The AD7910/AD7920 provide the user with an on-chip trackand-hold, A/D converter, and a serial interface housed in a tiny 6-lead SC70 package or 8-lead MSOP package, which offers the user considerable space saving advantages over alternative solutions. The serial clock input accesses data from the part but also provides the clock source for the successive approximation A/D converter. The analog input range is 0 V to VDD. An external reference is not required for the ADC and there is no reference on-chip. The reference for the AD7910/AD7920 is derived from the power supply and thus gives the widest dynamic input range. The AD7910/AD7920 also feature a power-down option to allow power saving between conversions. The power-down feature is implemented across the standard serial interface, as described in the Modes of Operation section. Rev. C | Page 13 of 24 AD7910/AD7920 CONVERTER OPERATION The AD7910/AD7920 are successive approximation analog-todigital converters based around a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 14 and Figure 15 show simplified schematics of the ADC. Figure 14 shows the ADC during its acquisition phase. When SW2 is closed and SW1 is in Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling capacitor acquires the signal on VIN. 0V 1LSB SAMPLING CAPACITOR SW1 B ACQUISITION PHASE CONTROL LOGIC COMPARATOR VDD/2 Figure 14. ADC Acquisition Phase When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 15), SW2 opens and SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. The control logic and charge redistribution DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code. Figure 16 shows the ADC transfer function.

ADC Conversion Phase ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION The output coding of the AD7910/AD7920 is straight binary. The designed code transitions occur at the successive integer LSB values, that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on. The LSB size is VDD/4096 for the AD7920 and VDD/1024 for the AD7910. The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7910/AD7920 is shown in Figure 16. Figure 17 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7910/ AD7920. VREF is taken internally from VDD and, as such, VDD should be well decoupled. This provides an analog input range of 0 V to VDD. The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word with four leading zeros followed by the MSB of the 12-bit or 10-bit result. Two trailing zeros follow the 10-bit result from the AD7910. Alternatively, because the supply current required by the AD7910/AD7920 is so low, a precision reference can be used as the supply source to the AD7910/AD7920. An REF19x voltage reference (REF195 for 5 V or REF193 for 3 V) can be used to supply the required voltage to the ADC (see Figure 17). This configuration is especially useful if the power supply is quite noisy or if the system supply voltages are at a value other than 5 V or 3 V (for example, 15 V). The REF19x outputs a steady voltage to the AD7910/AD7920. If the low dropout REF193 is used, the current it needs to supply to the AD7910/AD7920 is typically 1.2 mA. When the ADC is converting at a rate of 250 kSPS, the REF193 needs to supply a maximum of 1.4 mA to the AD7910/AD7920. The load regulation of the REF193 is typically 10 ppm/mA (REF193, VS = 5 V), which results in an error of 14 ppm (42 μV) for the 1.4 mA drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.057 LSB error for the AD7920 with VDD = 3 V from the REF193 and a 0.014 LSB error for the AD7910. For applications where power consumption is of concern, the power-down mode of the ADC and the sleep mode of the REF19x reference should be used to improve power performance. See the Modes of Operation section. Rev.

The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog input. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 300 mV. This causes these diodes to become forward biased and start conducting current into the substrate. The maximum current these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the parties is 10 mA. Capacitor C1 in Figure 18 is typically about 6 pF and can be attributed primarily to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on resistance of a switch. This resistor is typically about 100 Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and has a capacitance of 20 pF typically. For ac applications, removing high frequency components from the analog input signal is recommended by use of a band-pass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical, the analog input should be driven from a low impedance source. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC. This can necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function of the particular application. When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as the source impedance increases, and performance degrades (see Figure 12). DIGITAL INPUTS The digital inputs applied to the AD7910/AD7920 are not limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog input. Instead, the digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not restricted by the VDD + 0.3 V limit as on the analog input. For example, if the AD7910/AD7920 were operated with a VDD of 3 V, then 5 V logic levels could be used on the digital inputs. However, it is important to note that the data output on SDATA still have 3 V logic levels when VDD = 3 V. Another advantage of SCLK and CS not being restricted by the VDD + 0.3 V limit is that power supply sequencing issues are avoided. If CS or SCLK is applied before VDD, there is no risk of latch-up as there would be on the analog inputs if a signal greater than 0.3 V were applied prior to VDD. Rev. C | Page 15 of 24 AD7910/AD7920 MODES OF OPERATION The mode of operation of the AD7910/AD7920 is selected by controlling the logic state of the CS signal during a conversion. There are two possible modes of operation, normal mode and power-down mode. The point at which CS is pulled high after the conversion is initiated determines whether the AD7910/AD7920 enters power-down mode. Similarly, if the device is already in power-down mode, CS can control whether it returns to normal operation or remains in power-down mode. These modes of operation are designed to provide flexible power management options. These options can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for different application requirements. NORMAL MODE This mode is intended for fastest throughput rate performance because the user does not have to worry about any power-up times; the AD7910/AD7920 remains fully powered all the time. Figure 19 shows the general diagram of the operation of the AD7910/AD7920 in this mode. The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS as described in the Serial Interface section. To ensure that the part remains fully powered up at all times, CS must remain low until at least 10 SCLK falling edges have elapsed after the falling edge of CS. If CS is brought high any time after the tenth SCLK falling edge but before the end of the tCONVERT, then the part remains powered up but the conversion is terminated and SDATA goes back into three-state. For the AD7920, 16 serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access the complete conversion result. For the AD7910, a minimum of 14 serial clock cycles is required to complete the conversion and access the complete conversion result. CS can idle high until the next conversion or can idle low until CS returns high sometime prior to the next conversion, effectively idling CS low. Once a data transfer is complete (SDATA has returned to threestate), another conversion can be initiated after the quiet time, tQUIET, has elapsed by bringing CS low again. POWER-DOWN MODE This mode is intended for use in applications where slower throughput rates are required; either the ADC is powered down between conversions, or a series of conversions can be performed at a high throughput rate and the ADC is powered down for a relatively long duration between these bursts of several conversions. When the AD7910/AD7920 is in powerdown mode, all analog circuitry is powered down. To enter power-down mode, the conversion process must be interrupted by bringing CS high anywhere after the second falling edge of SCLK, and before the tenth falling edge of SCLK, as shown in Figure 20. Once CS is brought high in this window of SCLKs, the part enters power-down mode, the conversion that was initiated by the falling edge of CS is terminated, and SDATA goes back into three-state. If CS is brought high before the second SCLK falling edge, the part remains in normal mode and does not power down. This avoids accidental power-down due to glitches on the CS line. To exit this mode of operation and power up the AD7910/ AD7920 again, a dummy conversion is performed. On the falling edge of CS, the device begins to power up, and continues to power up as long as CS is held low until after the falling edge of the tenth SCLK. The device is fully powered up once 16 SCLKs have elapsed and valid data results from the next conversion, as shown in Figure 21. If CS is brought high before the tenth SCLK falling edge, the AD7910/AD7920 goes back into power-down mode again. This avoids accidental power-up due to glitches on the CS line or an inadvertent burst of eight SCLK cycles while CS is low. Although the device can begin to power up on the falling edge of CS, it powers down again on the rising edge of CS as long as it occurs before the tenth SCLK falling edge. POWER-UP TIME The power-up time of the AD7910/AD7920 is 1 μs, which means that one dummy cycle is always sufficient to allow the device to power up. Once the dummy cycle is complete, the ADC fully powered up and the input signal acquired properly. The quiet time, tQUIET, must still be allowed from the point where the bus goes back into three-state after the dummy conversion, to the next falling edge of CS. When powering up from the power-down mode with a dummy cycle, as in Figure 21, the track-and-hold that was in hold mode while the part was powered down returns to track mode after the first SCLK edge the part receives after the falling edge of CS. This is shown as Point A in Figure 21. Although at any SCLK frequency one dummy cycle is sufficient to power up the device and acquire VIN, it does not necessarily mean that a full dummy cycle of 16 SCLKs must always elapse to power up the device and fully acquire VIN; 1 μs is sufficient to power the device up and acquire the input signal. Therefore, if a 5 MHz SCLK frequency is applied to the ADC, the cycle time is 3.2 μs. In one dummy cycle, 3.2 μs, the part powers up and VIN is fully acquired. However, after 1 μs with a 5 MHz SCLK, only five SCLK cycles have elapsed. At this stage, the ADC is fully powered up and the signal is acquired. In this case, the CS can be brought high after the tenth SCLK falling edge and brought low again after a time, tQUIET, to initiate the conversion. Rev.

Exiting Power-Down Mode When power supplies are first applied to the AD7910/AD7920, the ADC can power up in either power-down mode or in normal mode. Because of this, it is best to allow a dummy cycle to elapse to ensure the part is fully powered up before attempting a valid conversion. Likewise, if the intention is to keep the part in powerdown mode while not in use and the user wishes the part to power up in power-down mode, the dummy cycle can be used to ensure the device is in power-down mode by executing a cycle such as that shown in Figure 20. Once supplies are applied to the AD7910/AD7920, the power-up time is the same as that when powering up from power-down mode. It takes approximately 1 μs to power up fully if the part powers up in normal mode. It is not necessary to wait 1 μs before executing a dummy cycle to ensure the desired mode of operation. Instead, the dummy cycle can occur directly after power is supplied to the ADC. If the first valid conversion is performed directly after the dummy conversion, care must be taken to ensure that adequate acquisition time is allowed. As mentioned earlier, when powering up from the power-down mode, the part returns to track upon the first SCLK edge applied after the falling edge of CS. However, when the ADC powers up initially after supplies are applied, the track-and-hold is in track. This means, assuming the user has the facility to monitor the ADC supply current, if the ADC powers up in the desired mode of operation and thus a dummy cycle is not required to change mode then a dummy cycle is required to place the track-andhold into track. Rev. C | Page 17 of 24 AD7910/AD7920 POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE The power dissipation during normal mode is 15 mW (VDD = 5 V). The power dissipation includes the power dissipated while the part is entering power-down mode, the power dissipated during the dummy conversion (when the part is exiting power-down mode and powering up), and the power dissipated during conversion. As mentioned in the power-down mode section, to enter power-down mode, CS has to be brought high anywhere between the second and tenth SCLK falling edge. Therefore, the power consumption when entering power-down mode varies depending on the number of SCLK cycles used. In this example, five SCLK cycles are used to enter power-down mode. This gives a time period of 5 × (1/fSCLK) = 1 μs. The power-up time is 1 μs, which implies that only five SCLK cycles are required to power up the part. However, CS has to remain low until at least the tenth SCLK falling edge when exiting power-down mode. This means that a minimum of nine SCLK cycles have to be used to exit power-down mode and power up the part. If VDD = 3 V, SCLK = 5 MHz, and the device is again in powerdown mode between conversions, the power dissipation during normal operation is 4.2 mW. Assuming the same timing conditions as before, the AD7910/AD7920 can now be said to dissipate 4.2 mW for 6 μs during each conversion cycle. With a throughput rate of 100 kSPS, the average power dissipated during each cycle is (6/10) × (4.2 mW) = 2.52 mW. Figure 22 shows the power vs. throughput rate when using the powerdown mode between conversions with both 5 V and 3 V supplies. Power-down mode is intended for use with throughput rates of approximately 160 kSPS and under because at higher sampling rates there is no power saving made by using the power-down mode. 100 VDD = 5V, SCLK = 5MHz 10 So, if nine SCLK cycles are used, the time to power up the part and exit power-down mode is 9 × (1/fSCLK) = 1.8 μs. Finally, the conversion time is 16 × (1/fSCLK) = 3.2 μs. 1 VDD = 3V, SCLK = 5MHz 0.1 0.01 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 THROUGHPUT RATE (kSPS) Figure 22. Power vs. Throughput Rate Rev. C | Page 18 of 24 160 180 02976-022 For example, if the AD7910/AD7920 is operated in a continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and an SCLK of 5 MHz (VDD = 5 V), and the device is placed in the power-down mode between conversions, the power consumption is calculated as follows. Therefore, the AD7910/AD7920 can be said to dissipate 15 mW for 3.2 μs + 1.8 μs + 1 μs = 6 μs during each conversion cycle. If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 μs and the average power dissipated during each cycle is (6/10) × (15 mW) = 9 mW. The power dissipation when the part is in power-down has not been taken into account because the shutdown current is so low and it does not have any effect on the overall power dissipation value. POWER (mW) By using the power-down mode on the AD7910/AD7920 when not converting, the average power consumption of the ADC decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 22 shows how, as the throughput rate is reduced, the device remains in its powerdown state longer and the average power consumption over time drops accordingly. AD7910/AD7920 SERIAL INTERFACE Figure 23 and Figure 24 show the detailed timing diagram for serial interfacing to the AD7920 and AD7910, respectively. The serial clock provides the conversion clock and also controls the transfer of information from the AD7910/AD7920 during conversion. If the rising edge of CS occurs before 14 SCLKs have elapsed, the conversion is terminated and the SDATA line goes back into three-state. If 16 SCLKs are used in the cycle, SDATA returns to three-state on the 16th SCLK falling edge, as shown in Figure 24. CS going low clocks out the first leading zero to be read in by the microcontroller or DSP. The remaining data is then clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling edges beginning with the second leading zero. Thus, the first falling clock edge on the serial clock has the first leading zero provided and also clocks out the second leading zero. The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the 16th falling edge, having been clocked out on the previous (15th) falling edge. The CS signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process. The falling edge of CS puts the track-and-hold into hold mode and takes the bus out of three-state; the analog input is sampled at that point. The conversion is also initiated at this point. For the AD7920, the conversion requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. Once 13 SCLK falling edges have elapsed, track-andhold goes back into track on the next SCLK rising edge, as shown in Figure 23 at Point B. On the 16th SCLK falling edge, the SDATA line goes back into three-state. If the rising edge of CS occurs before 16 SCLKs have elapsed then the conversion is terminated and the SDATA line goes back into three-state; otherwise, SDATA returns to three-state on the 16th SCLK falling edge, as shown in Figure 23. Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion process and to access data from the AD7920. In applications with a slower SCLK, it is possible to read in data on each SCLK rising edge. In this case, the first falling edge of SCLK clocks out the second leading zero, which could be read in the first rising edge. However, the first leading zero that was clocked out when CS went low is missed unless it was not read in the first falling edge. The 15th falling edge of SCLK clocks out the last bit and it could be read in the 15th rising SCLK edge. If CS goes low just after the SCLK falling edge has elapsed, CS clocks out the first leading zero as before, and it can be read on the SCLK rising edge. The next SCLK falling edge clocks out the second leading zero and it could be read on the following rising edge. For the AD7910, the conversion requires 14 SCLK cycles to complete. Once 13 SCLK falling edges have elapsed, track-andhold goes back into track on the next SCLK rising edge, as shown in Figure 24 at Point B. t1 CS tCONVERT t2 t6 1 SCLK 2 3 4 B 5 13 14 15 16 t5 t3 THREESTATE Z t4 ZERO ZERO t7 ZERO DB11 tQUIET DB10 DB2 DB1 DB0 THREE-STATE 4 LEADING ZEROS 02976-023 SDATA t8 1/THROUGHPUT Figure 23.

The CS input allows easy interfacing between the TMS320C541 and the AD7910/AD7920 without any glue logic required. The serial port of the TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode (FSM = 1 in the serial port control register, SPC) with internal serial clock CLKX (MCM = 1 in SPC register) and internal frame signal (TXM = 1 in the SPC), so both pins are configured as outputs. For the AD7920, the word length should be set to 16 bits (FO = 0 in the SPC register). This DSP allows frames with a word length of 16 bits or 8 bits. Therefore, in the case of the AD7910 where just 14 bits could be required, the FO bit would be set up to 16 bits also. This means that to obtain the conversion result, 16 SCLKs are needed and two trailing zeros are clocked out in the two last clock cycles. To summarize, the values in the SPC register are: FO = 0 FSM = 1 MCM = 1 TXM = 1 AD7910/AD7920 TO ADSP-218x The ADSP-218x family of DSPs is interfaced directly to the AD7910/AD7920 without any glue logic required. The SPORT control register should be set up as follows: TFSW = RFSW = 1, Alternate Framing INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, Active Low Frame Signal DTYPE = 00, Right Justify Data ISCLK = 1, Internal Serial Clock TFSR = RFSR = 1, Frame Every Word IRFS = 0, Sets up RFS as an Input ITFS = 1, Sets up TFS as an Output SLEN = 1111, 16 Bits for the AD7920 SLEN = 1101, 14 Bits for the AD7910 To implement power-down mode, SLEN should be set to 0111 to issue an 8-bit SCLK burst. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 26. The ADSP-218x has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in alternate framing mode and the SPORT control register is set up as described. The frame synchronization signal generated on the TFS is tied to CS and, as with all signal processing applications, equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example, the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC and, under certain conditions, equidistant sampling can not be achieved. AD7910/AD7920* SCLK The format bit, FO, can be set to 1 to set the word length to eight bits to implement the power-down mode on the AD7910/AD7920.

AD7910/AD7920* ADSP-218x* *ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY 02976-026 The serial interface on the AD7910/AD7920 allows the parts to be directly connected to a range of different microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the AD7910/AD7920 with some of the more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols. Figure 26. Interfacing to the ADSP-218x The timer registers are loaded with a value that provides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and thus the reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given, that is, TX0 = AX0, the state of the SCLK is checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high before transmission starts. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising edge of SCLK, the data can be transmitted or it can wait until the next clock edge. Rev. C | Page 20 of 24 AD7910/AD7920 For example, the ADSP-2111 has a master clock frequency of 16 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3, an SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained and eight master clock periods elapse for every one SCLK period. If the timer registers are loaded with the value 803, 100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit instructions. This situation results in nonequidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is occurring on an SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer figure of N, equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP. To summarize: AD7910/AD7920 TO DSP563xx INTERFACE It should be noted that for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provides equidistant sampling. To implement the power-down mode on the AD7910/AD7920, the word length can be changed to eight bits by setting Bits WL2 = 0, WL1 = 0, and WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP bit in the CRB register can be set to 1, which means the frame goes low and a conversion starts. Likewise, by means of Bits SCD2, SCKD, and SHFD in the CRB register, it is established that Pin SC2 (the frame sync signal) and SCK in the serial port is configured as outputs and the MSB is shifted first.

Interfacing to the DSP563xx 02976-027 The diagram in Figure 27 shows how the AD7910/AD7920 can be connected to the synchronous serial interface (SSI) (synchronous serial interface) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs from Motorola. The SSI is operated in synchronous and normal mode (SYN = 1 and MOD = 0 in Control Register B, CRB) with internally generated word frame sync for both Tx and Rx (Bit FSL1 = 0 and Bit FSL0 = 0 in the CRB). Set the word length in the Control Register A (CRA) to 16 by setting Bits WL2 = 0, WL1 = 1, and WL0 = 0 for the AD7920. This DSP does not offer the option for a 14-bit word length, so the AD7910 word length is set to 16 bits like the AD7920. For the AD7910, the conversion process uses 16 SCLK cycles, with the last two clock periods clocking out two trailing zeros to fill the 16-bit word. MOD = 0 SYN = 1 WL2, WL1, WL0 Depend on the Word Length FSL1 = 0, FSL0 = 0 FSP = 1, Negative Frame Sync SCD2 = 1 SCKD = 1 SHFD = 0 AD7910/AD7920 APPLICATION HINTS GROUNDING AND LAYOUT Avoid running digital lines under the device as these couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7910/AD7920 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7910/AD7920 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals like clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals should never be run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best but is not always possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side. 02976-028 The printed circuit board that houses the AD7910/AD7920 should be designed such that the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be easily separated. A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes as it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog ground planes should be joined at only one place. If the AD7910/AD7920 is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND to DGND connection then the connection should still be made at one point only, a star ground point that should be established as close to the AD7910/AD7920 as possible. Figure 28. Recommended Supply Decoupling Scheme for the AD7910/AD7920 MSOP Package Similarly, for the SC70 package, the decoupling capacitor should be located as close as possible to the VDD and GND pins. Because of its pinout, that is, VDD being next to GND, the decoupling capacitor can be placed extremely close to the IC. The decoupling capacitor could be placed on the underside of the PCB directly under the VDD and GND pins, but, as before, the best performance is seen with the decoupling capacitor on the same side as the IC. EVALUATING PERFORMANCE As can be seen in Figure 28, for the MSOP package, the decoupling capacitor is placed as close as possible to the IC, with short track lengths to VDD and GND pins. The decoupling capacitor could also be placed on the underside of the PCB directly underneath the IC, between the VDD and GND pins attached by vias. This method would not be recommended on PCBs above a standard 1.6 mm thickness. The best performance is seen with the decoupling capacitor on the top of the PCB next to the IC. The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7910/AD7920. See the evaluation board technical note for more information. 02976-029 Good decoupling is also very important. The supply should be decoupled with, for example, a 680 nF 0805 to GND. When using the SC70 package in applications where the size of the components is of concern, a 220 nF 0603 capacitor, for example, could be used instead. However, in that case, the decoupling can not be as effective and can result in an approximate SINAD degradation of 0.3 dB. To achieve the best performance from these decoupling components, the user should endeavor to keep the distance between the decoupling capacitor and the VDD and GND pins to a minimum with short track lengths connecting the respective pins. Figure 28 and Figure 29 show the recommended positions of the decoupling capacitor for the MSOP and SC70 packages, respectively. Figure 29. Recommended Supply Decoupling Scheme for the AD7910/AD7920 SC70 Package The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for controlling the board from the PC via the Eval-Board Controller. To demonstrate/evaluate the ac and dc performance of the AD7910/AD7920, the evaluation board controller can be used in conjunction with the AD7910/AD7920CB evaluation boards as well as many other Analog Devices’ evaluation boards ending in the CB designator.
