Using Analog Devices, Inc., iPassives® technology, the
ADAQ4003 also incorporates crucial passive components with
superior matching and drift characteristics to minimize
temperature dependent error sources and to offer optimized
performance (see Figure 1). Housing this signal chain solution
in a small, 7 mm × 7 mm, 0.80 mm pitch, 49-ball CSP_BGA
enables compact form factor designs without sacrificing
performance and simplifies end system bill of materials
management. This level of system integration makes the
ADAQ4003 much less sensitive to printed circuit board (PCB)
layout while still providing flexibility to adapt to a wide range of
signal levels.
The serial peripheral interface (SPI)-compatible, serial user interface
is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using a separate
VIO supply. Specified operation of ADAQ4003 is from −40°C
to +125°C.
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
VS+
Using system-in-package (SIP) technology, the ADAQ4003
reduces end system component count by combining multiple
common signal processing and conditioning blocks into a
single device. These blocks include a high resolution 18-bit,
2 MSPS successive approximation register (SAR), analog-todigital converter (ADC), a low noise, fully differential ADC
driver amplifier (FDA), and a stable reference buffer.

VIN must be within the allowed input common-mode range as per Figure 35, Figure 36, and Figure 37 and is dependent on the VS+ and VS− supply rails used.
The acquisition phase is the time available for the input sampling capacitors to acquire a new input with the ADC running at a throughput rate of 2 MSPS.
3
A throughput rate of 2 MSPS can only be achieved with turbo mode enabled and a minimum SCK rate of 75 MHz. Refer to Table 5 for the maximum achievable
throughput for different modes of operation.
4
Transient response is the time required for the ADAQ4003 to acquire a full-scale input step to ±1 LSB accuracy.
5
The weight of the LSB, referred to input, changes depending on the input voltage range. See Table 10 for the LSB size.
6
See the 1/f noise plot in Figure 28.
7
The VCMO voltage can be used for other circuitry, but it should be driven with a buffer to ensure the VCMO voltage remains stable as per the specified range.

Description
Power Supply Ground.
1.8 V Power Supply. The VDD range is 1.71 V to 1.89 V.
Positive Output of the Fully Differential ADC Driver.
Negative Supply of the Fully Differential ADC Driver.
Reference Buffer Output Voltage.
Reference Buffer Input Voltage.
1 kΩ Resistor Input to Negative Input of the Fully Differential ADC Driver.
Input and Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally, the VIO pins are at the same supply as
the host interface (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V).
1.1 kΩ Resistor Input to Negative Input of the Fully Differential ADC Driver.
Do Not Connect. Do not connect to this pin.
Power-Down Amplifier. Active low. Connect the PD_AMP pin to GND to power down the
fully differential ADC driver. Otherwise, connect the PD_AMP pin to logic high.
Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. SDI selects the interface mode of
the ADC as follows:
Daisy-chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is
used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a
single SDO line. The digital data level on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 18 SCK cycles.
CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or
CNV can enable the serial output signals when low. If SDI or CNV is low when the conversion
is complete, the busy indicator feature is enabled. With CNV low, the device can be
programmed by clocking in a 16-bit word on SDI on the rising edge of SCK.

Serial Data Clock Input. When the device is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by
this clock.
1.1 kΩ Resistor Input to Positive Input of the Fully Differential ADC Driver.
Power Mode for the Fully Differential ADC Driver. Full performance when the MODE pin is
high, and low power mode when the MODE pin is low.
Fully Differential ADC Driver and Reference Buffer Positive Supply.
Positive Input to the ADC. Extra capacitance can be added on the ADCIN+ pin to reduce the
RC filter bandwidth.
Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on the SDO pin. SDO synchronizes to SCK.
1 kΩ Resistor Input to Positive Input of the Fully Differential ADC Driver.
Negative Output of the Fully Differential ADC Driver.
Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its leading edge, CNV initiates the
conversions and selects the interface mode of the device: daisy-chain mode or CS mode.
In CS mode, the SDO pin is enabled when CNV is low. In daisy-chain mode, the data is read
when CNV is high.
Fully Differential ADC Driver Output Common-Mode Voltage. Nominally, VREF/2.
Negative Input to the ADC. Extra capacitance can be added on the ADCIN− pin to reduce
the RC filter bandwidth.

ADAQ4003
TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Error
INL error is the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The
point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB
beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the middle of each code to the true straight line (see Figure 39).
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) Error
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the
maximum deviation from this ideal value. DNL error is often
specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes are
guaranteed.
Offset Error
Offset error is the difference between the ideal midscale voltage,
0 V, and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code,
0 LSB.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100 … 00 to 100 … 01) occurs at
a level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale. The last
transition (from 011 … 10 to 011 … 11) occurs for an analog
voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full scale. The gain error is
the deviation of the difference between the actual level of the last
transition and the actual level of the first transition from the
difference between the ideal levels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms
amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal,
including harmonics.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the total rms noise measured. The value for dynamic range is
expressed in decibels. Dynamic range is measured with a signal
at −60 dBFS so that the range includes all noise sources and
DNL artifacts.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the
Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for
SNR is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components that are less than
the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.
The value of SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measure of the acquisition performance
and is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and
when the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to acquire
a full-scale input step to ±1 LSB accuracy.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
CMRR is the ratio of the power in the ADC output at the
frequency, f, to the power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave applied to
the input common-mode voltage of f.
CMRR (dB) = 10log(PADC_IN/PADC_OUT)
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. ENOB is related to SINAD as follows:
where:
PADC_IN is the common-mode power at f applied to the inputs.
PADC_OUT is the power at f in the ADC output.
ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02
ENOB is expressed in bits.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in decibels.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR is the ratio of the power in the ADC output at f to the
power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC VDD
supply of f.
PSRR (dB) = 10 log(PVDD_IN/PADC_OUT)
where:
PVDD_IN is the power at f at the VDD pin.
PADC_OUT is the power at f in the ADC output.

ADAQ4003
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADAQ4003 is capable of converting 2,000,000 samples per
second (2 MSPS). The ADAQ4003 has a valid first conversion
after being powered down for long periods that can reduce
power consumed in applications where the ADC does not
convert constantly.
The ADAQ4003 interfaces to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic
family. The device is housed in a 7 mm × 7 mm, 0.80 mm pitch
49-ball CSP_BGA that provides significant space savings and
allows flexible configurations.
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS
The ideal transfer characteristics for the ADAQ4003 are shown
in Figure 39 and Table 10.
The ADAQ4003 offers a significant reduction in form factor
and total cost of ownership compared to traditional discrete signal
chains from a selection of individual components, size of PCB, and
manufacturing perspective, while still providing flexibility to
adapt to a wide array of applications.
The ADAQ4003 incorporates a fully differential, high speed
ADC driver with integrated precision resistors. The precision
resistors can be pin strapped to achieve different gains for the
fully differential ADC driver, which allows the user to match
the input signal range. The fully ADC driver can be used in a
differential manner or to perform a single-ended to differential
conversion for a single-ended input.

ANALOG INPUT
21657-012
The ADAQ4003 SiP is a fast, precision DAQ signal chain that
uses a SAR architecture. As shown in Figure 1, the ADAQ4003
μModule DAQ solution contains a high bandwidth, fully
differential, ADC driver, a low noise reference buffer, and an
18-bit SAR ADC, along with the critical precision passive
components required to achieve optimized performance with
pin-selectable gain options of 0.454, 0.909, 1, or 1.9. All active
components including iPassives thin film resistors with ±0.005%
matching in the circuit are designed by Analog Devices, which
are factory calibrated to achieve a high degree of specified accuracy
and minimize temperature dependent error sources.
The fast conversion time of the ADAQ4003, along with turbo
mode, allows low clock rates to read back conversions, even when
running at its maximum throughput rate. Note that for the
ADAQ4003, the full throughput rate of 2 MSPS can be achieved
only with turbo mode enabled. Because the ADAQ4003 has onboard conversion clocks, the serial clock (SCK) is not required
for the conversion process.

ANALOG INPUTS
ADC High-Z Mode
High Frequency Input Signals
The ADAQ4003 incorporates ADC high-Z mode, which reduces
the nonlinear charge kickback when the capacitor DAC
switches back to the input at the start of the acquisition. The
ADC high-Z mode is disabled by default but can be enabled by
writing to the register (see Table 14). Disable high-Z mode for
input frequencies above 100 kHz or when multiplexing.
The ADAQ4003 ac performance over a wide input frequency
range using a 5 V reference voltage is shown in Figure 21 and
Figure 24. The ADAQ4003 maintains exceptional ac performance
for input frequencies up to the Nyquist frequency with minimal
performance degradation.
EASE OF DRIVE FEATURES
Driving the ADAQ4003 Using a High Impedance PGIA
Input Span Compression
The majority of instrumentation and programmable gain
instrumentation amplifiers (PGIAs) are single-ended output,
which cannot directly drive the fully differential data
acquisition signal chain. However, the LTC6373 PGIA offers
fully differential outputs, low noise, low distortion, and high
bandwidth. The LTC6373 is dc-coupled on the input and the
output with programmable gain settings (using the A2, A1, and
A0 pins). These features enable the LTC6373 to drive the
ADAQ4003 directly in many signal chain applications without
sacrificing precision performance.
The ADAQ4003 includes a span compression feature that
increases the headroom and footroom available to the ADC driver
by reducing the input range by 10% from the top and bottom of
the range while still accessing all available ADC codes. The SNR
decreases by approximately 1.9 dB (20 × log(8/10)) for the
reduced input range when span compression is enabled. Span
compression is disabled by default but can be enabled by writing to
the relevant register bit (see the Digital Interface section).

In Figure 50, the LTC6373 is used in a differential input to
differential output configuration with dual supplies of ±15V.
The LTC6373 can also be used in a single-ended input to
differential output configuration, if required. The LTC6373 is
directly driving the ADAQ4003 with its gain set as 0.454. The
VOCM pin of LTC6373 is connected to ground and its outputs
swing between −5.5 V and +5.5 V (opposite in phase). The
FDA of ADAQ4003 level shifts the outputs of the LTC6373 to
match the desired input common mode of the ADAQ4003 and
provides the signal amplitude necessary to utilize the maximum
2 × VREF peak-to-peak differential signal range of the ADC
inside the ADAQ4003 μModule. Figure 48 and Figure 49 show
the SNR and THD performance using various gain settings of
the LTC6373 for the circuit configuration shown in Figure 50.

ADAQ4003
VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
POWER SUPPLY (POWER TREE)
The ADAQ4003 voltage reference input (REF) is the
noninverting node of the on board, low noise reference buffer.
The reference buffer is included to optimally drive the dynamic
input impedance of the SAR ADC reference node.
The ADAQ4003 uses four power supply pins: an ADC driver
positive (VS+) and negative supply (VS−), a core ADC supply
(VDD), a digital input and output interface supply (VIO). VIO
allows direct interface with any logic among 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V,
or 5 V. To reduce the number of supplies needed, VIO and
VDD can be tied together for 1.8 V operation. A combination
of the ADP5070 (dual, high performance dc-to-dc switching
regulator), the LT3032 (dual, low noise, positive and negative,
low dropout voltage linear regulator), and the LT3023 (dual,
micropower, low noise, low dropout regulator) can generate
independently regulated positive and negative rails for all four
power supply pins, including ±15 V rails for any additional signal
conditioning. Refer to the EVAL-ADAQ4003FMCZ user guide
for details. The ADAQ4003 is insensitive to power supply
variations (PSRR) over a wide frequency range, as shown in
Figure 33.
Also housed in the ADAQ4003 is a 10 µF decoupling capacitor
that is ideally laid out within the device. This decoupling capacitor
is a required piece of the SAR architecture. The REF_OUT
capacitor is not just a bypass capacitor. This capacitor is part
of the SAR ADC that cannot fit on the silicon simply. During
the bit decision process, because the bits are settled in a few
tens of nanoseconds or faster, the storage capacitor replenishes
the charge of the internal capacitive DAC. As the binary bit
weighted conversion is processed, small chunks of charge are
taken from the 10 µF capacitor. The internal capacitor array is a
fraction of the size of the decoupling capacitor, but this large
value storage capacitor is required to meet the SAR bit decision
settling time. There is no need for an additional lower value
ceramic decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between
the REF_OUT and GND pins.
The reference value sets the maximum ADC input voltage that
the SAR capacitor array can quantize. The reference buffer is
set in the unity-gain configuration. Therefore, the user sets the
reference voltage value with the REF pin and observes this
value at the REF_OUT pin. The user is responsible for selecting
a reference voltage value that is appropriate for the system
under design. Allowable reference values range from 2.4 V to
5.1 V. However, do not violate the input common-mode
voltage range specification of the reference buffer. With the
inclusion of the reference buffer, the user can implement a
much lower power reference source than many traditional SAR
ADC signal chains because the reference source drives a high
impedance node instead of the dynamic load of the SAR
capacitor array. Root sum square the reference buffer noise
with the reference source noise to arrive at a total noise
estimate. Generally, the reference buffer has a noise density
much less than that of the reference source.
For highest performance and lower drift, use a reference such
as the ADR4550, or use a low power reference such as the
ADR3450 at the expense of a decrease in the noise
performance.
The ADAQ4003 ADC powers down automatically at the end of
each conversion phase. Therefore, the power scales linearly
with the sampling rate. This feature makes the device ideal for
low sampling rates (even a few samples per second) and batterypowered applications. Figure 32 shows the ADAQ4003 total
power dissipation and individual power dissipation for each rail.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
Although the ADAQ4003 has a reduced number of pins, the
device offers flexibility in its serial interface modes. The
ADAQ4003 can also be programmed via 16-bit SPI writes
to the configuration registers.
When in CS mode, the ADAQ4003 is compatible with SPI, QSPI™,
MICROWIRE®, digital hosts, and digital signal processors (DSPs).
In this mode, the ADAQ4003 can use either a 3-wire or 4-wire
interface. A 3-wire interface using the CNV, SCK, and SDO
signals minimizes wiring connections, which is useful in
isolated applications. A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV,
SCK, and SDO signals allows CNV, which initiates the
conversions, to be independent of the readback timing (SDI).
This interface is useful in low jitter sampling or simultaneous
sampling applications.
The ADAQ4003 provides a daisy-chain feature using the SDI for
cascading multiple ADCs on a single data line, similar to a shift
register.
The mode in which the ADAQ4003 operates depends on the
SDI level when the CNV rising edge occurs. CS mode is selected if
SDI is high, and daisy-chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The
SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected
together, daisy-chain mode is automatically selected.
In either 3-wire or 4-wire mode, the ADAQ4003 offers the
option of forcing a start bit in front of the data bits. This start bit
can be used as a busy signal indicator to interrupt the digital

host and trigger the data reading. Otherwise, without a busy
indicator, the user must time out the maximum conversion time
prior to readback.
The busy indicator feature is enabled in CS mode if CNV or
SDI is low when the ADC conversion ends.
Table 12. Register Bits
The state of SDO on power-up is either low or high-Z
depending on the states of CNV and SDI (see Table 11).

The ADAQ4003 has a turbo mode capability in both 3-wire
and 4-wire mode. Turbo mode is enabled by writing to the
configuration register and replaces the busy indicator feature
when enabled. Turbo mode allows a slower SPI clock rate,
making interfacing simpler. The maximum throughput of
2 MSPS for the ADAQ4003 can be achieved only with turbo
mode enabled and a minimum SCK rate of 75 MHz. The SCK
rate must be sufficiently fast to ensure the conversion result is
clocked out before another conversion initiates. The minimum
required SCK rate for an application can be derived based on
the sample period (tCYC), the number of bits that must be read
(including the data and optional status bits), and the digital
interface mode used. Timing diagrams and explanations for
each digital interface mode are given in the digital modes of
operation sections (see the CS Mode, 3-Wire Turbo Mode
section and the CS Mode, 4-Wire with Busy Indicator section).
Status bits can also be clocked out at the end of the conversion
data if the status bits are enabled in the configuration register.
The six status bits are described in Table 12.
The ADAQ4003 is configured by 16-bit SPI writes to the
desired configuration register. The 16-bit word can be written
via the SDI line while CNV is held low. The 16-bit word consists
of an 8-bit header and 8-bit register data. For isolated systems,
the ADuM141D is recommended, which can support the 75 MHz
SCK rate required to run the ADAQ4003 at its full throughput
of 2 MSPS.
REGISTER READ AND WRITE FUNCTIONALITY
The ADAQ4003 register bits are programmable, and the bits
default statuses are listed in Table 12. The register map is shown in

All access to the register map must start with a write to the 8-bit
command register in the SPI interface block. The ADAQ4003
ignores all 1s until the first 0 is clocked in (represented by WEN
in Figure 51, Figure 52, and Table 13). The value loaded into
the command register is always 0 followed by seven command
bits. This command determines whether that operation is a write
or a read. The ADAQ4003 command register is listed in Table 13.

All register read and writes must occur while CNV is low. Data
on SDI is clocked in on the rising edge of SCK. Data on SDO is
clocked out on the falling edge of SCK. At the end of the data
transfer, SDO is put in a high impedance state on the rising edge of
CNV if daisy-chain mode is not enabled. If daisy-chain mode is
enabled, SDO goes low on the rising edge of CNV. Register reads
are not allowed in daisy-chain mode.
A register write requires three signal lines: SCK, CNV, and SDI.
During a register write to read the current conversion results on
SDO, the CNV pin must be brought low after the conversion
completes. Otherwise, the conversion results may be incorrect
on SDO. However, the register write occurs regardless.
The LSB of each configuration register is reserved because a user
reading 16-bit conversion data may be limited to a 16-bit SPI
frame. The state of SDI on the last bit in the SDI frame may be
the state that then persists when CNV rises. Because interface
mode is partly set based on the SDI state when CNV rises, in
this scenario, the user may need to set the final SDI state.
The timing diagrams in Figure 51 through Figure 53 show how
data is read and written when the ADAQ4003 is configured in
register read, write, and daisy-chain mode.

The SDO line returns to high impedance after the sixth status
bit is clocked out (except in daisy-chain mode). The user is not
required to clock out all status bits to start the next conversion.
The serial interface timing for CS mode, 3-wire without busy
indicator, including status bits, is shown in Figure 54.
The 6-bit status word can be appended to the end of a conversion
result, and the default conditions of these bits are shown in

after CNV is brought high before bringing CNV low to clock out
the previous conversion result. When the conversion is complete
(after tCONV), the ADAQ4003 enters the acquisition phase and
powers down. The user must also wait the tQUIET2 time after the
last falling edge of SCK to when CNV is brought high.
CS MODE, 3-WIRE TURBO MODE
This mode is typically used when a single ADAQ4003 device is
connected to an SPI-compatible digital host. This mode provides
additional time during the end of the ADC conversion process to
clock out the previous conversion result, providing a lower SCK
rate. The ADAQ4003 can achieve a throughput rate of 2 MSPS
only when turbo mode is enabled and using a minimum SCK rate
of 75 MHz. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 55, and
the corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 56.
When CNV goes low, the MSB is output to SDO. The remaining
data bits are clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is
valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can capture
the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster
reading rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time, as dictated by
tHSDO (see Table 3). If the status bits are not enabled, SDO returns
to high impedance after the 18th SCK falling edge. If the status
bits are enabled, the bits are shifted out on SDO on the 19th
through the 24th SCK falling edges (see the Status Word
section). SDO returns to high impedance after the 18th SCK
falling edge, or when CNV goes high (whichever occurs first).
The user must also provide a delay of tQUIET2 between the final
SCK falling edge and the next CNV rising edge to ensure
specified performance.
To enable turbo mode, set the turbo mode enable bit in the
configuration register to 1 (see Table 12). This mode replaces
the 3-wire with busy indicator mode by programming the turbo
mode bit, Bit 1 (see Table 14). Writing to the user configuration
register requires SDI to be connected to the digital host (see the
Register Read and Write Functionality section). When turbo
mode is enabled, the conversion result read on SDO corresponds
to the result of the previous conversion.
When performing conversions in this mode, SDI must be held
high, and a CNV rising edge initiates a conversion and forces

When the conversion completes, the ADAQ4003 enters the

subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK

diagram is shown in Figure 57, and the corresponding timing
diagram is shown in Figure 58.
When SDI is connected to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. After a conversion initiates, it continues until
completion irrespective of the state of CNV. This feature can be
useful, for instance, to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices,
such as analog multiplexers. However, CNV must be returned
high before the minimum conversion time elapses and then
held high for the maximum possible conversion time to avoid
the generation of the busy signal indicator.

CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
When the conversion completes, SDO goes from high
impedance to low impedance. With a pull-up resistor of 1 kΩ
on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an interrupt
signal to initiate the data reading controlled by the digital host.
The ADAQ4003 then enters the acquisition phase and powers
down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by
subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK
edges. Although the rising edge can capture the data, a digital
host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate,
provided that the digital host has an acceptable hold time. After
the optional 19th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high
(whichever occurs first), SDO returns to high impedance.
This mode is typically used when a single ADAQ4003 device is
connected to an SPI-compatible digital host with an interrupt
input (IRQ).
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 59, and the
corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 60.
When SDI is connected to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. SDO is maintained in high impedance until the
completion of the conversion irrespective of the state of CNV.
Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNV can select other SPI
devices, such as analog multiplexers. However, CNV must be
returned low before the minimum conversion time elapses and
then held low for the maximum possible conversion time to
guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator.
If multiple ADAQ4003 devices are selected at the same time,
the SDO output pin handles this contention without damage or
induced latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended to keep this
contention as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.
There must not be any digital activity on the SCK during the

CS MODE, 4-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
However, SDI must be returned low before the minimum
conversion time elapses and then held low for the maximum
possible conversion time to guarantee the generation of the
busy signal indicator.
This mode is typically used when a single ADAQ4003 device is
connected to an SPI-compatible digital host with an interrupt
input (IRQ), and when it is desired to keep CNV, which samples
the analog input, independent of the signal used to select the data
reading. This independence is particularly important in
applications where low jitter on CNV is desired.
When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance
to low impedance. With a pull-up resistor of 1 kΩ on the SDO
line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate
the data readback controlled by the digital host. The ADAQ4003
then enters the acquisition phase and powers down. The data
bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK falling
edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising
edge can capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling
edge allows a faster reading rate, provided that the digital host
has an acceptable hold time. After the optional 19th SCK falling
edge or when SDI goes high (whichever occurs first), SDO
returns to high impedance.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 65, and the
corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 66.
With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,
selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this
mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase
and the subsequent data readback. If SDI and CNV are low,
SDO is driven low. Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI
can select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers.

first, and 18 × N clocks are required to read back the N ADCs.
The data is valid on both SCK edges. The maximum conversion
rate is reduced because of the total readback time.
DAISY-CHAIN MODE
Use this mode to daisy-chain multiple ADAQ4003 devices on
a 3-wire or 4-wire serial interface. This feature is useful for
reducing component count and wiring connections, for
example, in isolated multiconverter applications or for systems
with a limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous
to clocking a shift register.
It is possible to write to each ADC register in daisy-chain mode
(see Figure 68). This mode requires 4-wire operation because
data is clocked in on the SDI line with CNV held low. The same
command byte and register data can be shifted through the entire
chain to program all ADCs in the chain with the same register
contents, which requires 8 × (N + 1) clocks for N ADCs. It is
possible to write different register contents to each ADC in the
chain by writing to the furthest ADC in the chain, first using 8 ×
(N + 1) clocks, and then the second furthest ADC with 8 × N
clocks, and so forth until reaching the nearest ADC in the chain,
which requires 16 clocks for the command and register data.
A connection diagram example using two ADAQ4003 devices
is shown in Figure 67, and the corresponding timing diagram is
shown in Figure 68.
When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK
low, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects daisychain mode, and disables the busy indicator. In this mode,
CNV is held high during the conversion phase and the
subsequent data readback. When the conversion is complete,
the MSB is output onto SDO, and the ADAQ4003 enters the
acquisition phase and powers down. The remaining data bits
stored in the internal shift register are clocked out of SDO by
subsequent SCK falling edges. For each ADC, SDI feeds the
input of the internal shift register and is clocked by the SCK
rising edges. Each ADC in the daisy-chain outputs its data MSB
It is not possible to read register contents in daisy-chain mode.
However, the six status bits can be enabled if the user wants to
determine the ADC configuration. Note that enabling the
status bits require six extra clocks to clock out the ADC result
and the status bits per ADC in the chain. Turbo mode cannot
be used in daisy-chain mode.

ADAQ4003
Data Sheet
The PCB layout is critical for preserving signal integrity and
achieving the expected performance from the ADAQ4003. It is
recommended to design a multilayer board with an internal,
clean ground plane and a separate power plane to route various
supply rails beneath the ADAQ4003. Care must be taken with
the placement of individual components and routing of various
signals on the board. It is highly recommended to route input
and output signals symmetrically while keeping the power
supply circuitry away from the analog signal path. Keep the
sensitive analog and digital sections separate and confined to
certain areas of the board and avoid crossover of digital and
analog signals.
The pinout of the ADAQ4003 eases the layout and allowing its
analog signals on the left side and its digital signals on the right
side. Fast switching signals, such as CNV or clocks, must not
run near or crossover analog signal paths to prevent noise
coupling to the ADAQ4003. Remove the ground and power
planes beneath the input and output pins of ADAQ4003 to
avoid undesired parasitic capacitance, especially underneath
summing junction nodes (IN+ and IN−) and any floating
inputs. Any undesired parasitic capacitance on the summing
junction nodes tends to reduce the phase margin of the FDA
and impact the distortion and linearity performance of the
ADAQ4003.
The ADAQ4003 enables high channel density PCB layout by
incorporating all the necessary decoupling ceramic capacitors for
the reference and power supply (REF, VS+, VS−, VDD, and
VIO) pins to provide a low impedance path to ground at high
frequencies and to handle the transient currents so that the
additional external decoupling capacitors are not required
without causing any performance impact or electromagnetic
interference (EMI) issues, saving board space. This performance
impact was verified on the EVAL-ADAQ4003FMCZ by
removing the external decoupling capacitors on the output of
reference and LDO regulators that generate the on-board rails
(REF, VS+, VS−, VDD, and VIO). Figure 69 shows that any
spurs are buried well below −120 dB in the noise floor whether
the external decoupling capacitors are used or removed. The
recommended board layout is outlined in the EVALADAQ4003FMCZ user guide.
