DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
•
•
The ADC081S101 is a low-power, single channel
CMOS 8-bit analog-to-digital converter with a highspeed serial interface. Unlike the conventional
practice of specifying performance at a single sample
rate only, the ADC081S101 is fully specified over a
sample rate range of 500 ksps to 1 Msps. The
converter is based upon a successive-approximation
register architecture with an internal track-and-hold
circuit.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may
degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply (that is, VIN < GND or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited to
10 mA. The 20 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an
input current of 10 mA to two. The Absolute Maximum Rating specification does not apply to the VA pin. The current into the VA pin is
limited by the Analog Supply Voltage specification.
The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by
TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula
PDmax = (TJmax − TA) / θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the device is operated
in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is
reversed). Obviously, such conditions should always be avoided.
Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through zero ohms.

Measured with the timing test circuit shown in Figure 2 and defined as the time taken by the output signal to cross 1.0V or 2.0V.
tDIS is derived from the time taken by the outputs to change by 0.5V with the timing test circuit shown in Figure 2. The measured number
is then adjusted to remove the effects of charging or discharging the output capacitance. This means that tDIS is the true bus relinquish
time, independent of the bus loading.

Specification Definitions
ACQUISITION TIME is the time required to acquire the input voltage. That is, it is time required for the hold
capacitor to charge up to the input voltage. Acquisition time is measured backwards from the falling edge
of CS when the signal is sampled and the part moves from track to hold. The start of the time interval that
contains TACQ is the 13th rising edge of SCLK of the previous conversion when the part moves from hold
to track. The user must ensure that the time between the 13th rising edge of SCLK and the falling edge of
the next CS is not less than TACQ to meet performance specifications.
APERTURE DELAY is the time after the falling edge of CS when the input signal is acquired or held for
conversion.
APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the variation in aperture delay from sample to sample.
Aperture jitter manifests itself as noise in the output.
CONVERSION TIME is the time required, after the input voltage is acquired, for the ADC to convert the input
voltage to a digital word. This is from the falling edge of CS when the input signal is sampled to the 16th
falling edge of SCLK when the SDATA output goes into TRI-STATE.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1
LSB.
DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that a repetitive digital waveform is high to the total time of one period. The
specification here refers to the SCLK.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise
and Distortion or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD − 1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is
equivalent to a perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH is a measure of the frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental
drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full scale input.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation of the last code transition (111...110) to (111...111) from the ideal (VREF − 1 LSB),
after adjusting for offset error.
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from
negative full scale (½ LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (½ LSB above the last
code transition). The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that
code value.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of additional spectral components as a result of two
sinusoidal frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time. It is defined as the ratio of the
power in the second and third order intermodulation products to the sum of the power in both of the
original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dB.

MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC081S101 is
ensured not to have any missing codes.
OFFSET ERROR is the deviation of the first code transition (000...000) to (000...001) from the ideal (i.e. GND +
1 LSB).
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms
value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not including
harmonics or d.c.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or SINAD) Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of
the input signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock frequency,
including harmonics but excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the desired signal
amplitude to the amplitude of the peak spurious spectral component, where a spurious spectral
component is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input and may or may
not be a harmonic.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dB or dBc, of the rms total of the first five
harmonic components at the output to the rms level of the input signal frequency as seen at the output.
THD is calculated as
THD = 20 log10
A f 22 + + A f 6 2
A f 12
where
•
•
Af1 is the RMS power of the input frequency at the output
Af2 through Af6 are the RMS power in the first 5 harmonic frequencies
(1)
TOTAL UNADJUSTED ERROR is the worst deviation found from the ideal transfer function. As such, it is a
comprehensive specification which includes full scale error, linearity error, and offset error.
THROUGHPUT TIME is the minimum time required between the start of two successive conversion. It is the
acquisition time plus the conversion time.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ADC081S101 Operation
The ADC081S101 is a successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter designed around a chargeredistribution digital-to-analog converter core. Simplified schematics of the ADC081S101 in both track and hold
operation are shown in Figure 18 and Figure 19, respectively. In Figure 18, the device is in track mode: switch
SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to the input, and SW2 balances the comparator inputs. The device is in
this state until CS is brought low, at which point the device moves to hold mode.
Figure 19 shows the device in hold mode: switch SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to ground, maintaining
the sampled voltage, and switch SW2 unbalances the comparator. The control logic then instructs the chargeredistribution DAC to add or subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor until the comparator is
balanced. When the comparator is balanced, the digital word supplied to the DAC is the digital representation of
the analog input voltage. The device moves from hold mode to track mode on the 13th rising edge of SCLK.

Using the ADC081S101
The serial interface timing diagram for the ADC is shown in Figure 3. CS is chip select, which initiates
conversions on the ADC and frames the serial data transfers. SCLK (serial clock) controls both the conversion
process and the timing of serial data. SDATA is the serial data out pin, where a conversion result is found as a
serial data stream.
Basic operation of the ADC begins with CS going low, which initiates a conversion process and data transfer.
Subsequent rising and falling edges of SCLK will be labelled with reference to the falling edge of CS; for
example, "the third falling edge of SCLK" shall refer to the third falling edge of SCLK after CS goes low.
At the fall of CS, the SDATA pin comes out of TRI-STATE, and the converter moves from track mode to hold
mode. The input signal is sampled and held for conversion on the falling edge of CS. The converter moves from
hold mode to track mode on the 13th rising edge of SCLK (see Figure 3). It is at this point that the interval for the
TACQ specification begins. At least 350ns must pass between the 13th rising edge of SCLK and the next falling
edge of CS. The SDATA pin will be placed back into TRI-STATE after the 16th falling edge of SCLK, or at the
rising edge of CS, whichever occurs first. After a conversion is completed, the quiet time tQUIET must be satisfied
before bringing CS low again to begin another conversion.

SNAS310D – JANUARY 2006 – REVISED JANUARY 2014
Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to read a complete sample from the ADC. The sample bits (including leading
or trailing zeroes) are clocked out on falling edges of SCLK, and are intended to be clocked in by a receiver on
subsequent falling edges of SCLK. The ADC will produce three leading zero bits on SDATA, followed by eight
data bits, most significant first. After the data bits, the ADC will clock out four trailing zeros.
If CS goes low before the rising edge of SCLK, an additional (fourth) zero bit may be captured by the next falling
edge of SCLK.
Determining Throughput
Throughput depends on the frequency of SCLK and how much time is allowed to elapse between the end of one
conversion and the start of another. At the maximum specified SCLK frequency, the maximum ensured
throughput is obtained by using a 20 SCLK frame. As shown in Figure 3, the minimum allowed time between CS
falling edges is determined by 1) 12.5 SCLKs for Hold mode, 2) the larger of two quantities: either the minimum
required time for Track mode (tACQ) or 2.5 SCLKs to finish reading the result and 3) 0, 1/2 or 1 SCLK padding to
ensure an even number of SCLK cycles so there is a falling SCLK edge when CS next falls. For example, at the
fastest rate for this family of parts, SCLK is 20MHz and 2.5 SCLKs are 125ns, so the minimum time between CS
falling edges is calculated by:
12.5*50ns + 350ns + 0.5*50ns = 1000ns
(2)
(12.5 SCLKs + tACQ + 1/2 SCLK) which corresponds to a maximum throughput of 1MSPS. At the slowest rate for
this family, SCLK is 1MHz. Using a 20-cycle conversion frame as shown in Figure 3 yields a 20μs time between
CS falling edges for a throughput of 50KSPS.
It is possible, however, to use fewer than 20 clock cycles provided the timing parameters are met. With a 1MHz
SCLK, there are 2500ns in 2.5 SCLK cycles, which is greater than tACQ. After the last data bit has come out, the
clock will need one full cycle to return to a falling edge. Thus the total time between falling edges of CS is
12.5*1μs +2.5*1μs +1*1μs=16μs which is a throughput of 62.5KSPS.
ADC081S101 Transfer Function
The output format of the ADC is straight binary. Code transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB
values. The LSB width for the ADC is VA/256. The ideal transfer characteristic is shown in Figure 20. The
transition from an output code of 0000 0000 to a code of 0000 0001 is at 1/2 LSB, or a voltage of VA/512. Other
code transitions occur at steps of one LSB.

Typical Application Circuit
A typical application of the ADC is shown in Figure 21. Power is provided in this example by the TI LP2950 lowdropout voltage regulator, available in a variety of fixed and adjustable output voltages. The power supply pin is
bypassed with a capacitor network located close to the ADC. Because the reference for the ADC is the supply
voltage, any noise on the supply will degrade device noise performance. To keep noise off the supply, use a
dedicated linear regulator for this device, or provide sufficient decoupling from other circuitry to keep noise off the
ADC supply pin. Because of the ADC's low power requirements, it is also possible to use a precision reference
as a power supply to maximize performance. The four-wire interface is also shown connected to a
microprocessor or DSP.

Analog Input
An equivalent circuit for the ADC's input channel is shown in Figure 22. Diodes D1 and D2 provide ESD
protection for the analog inputs. At no time should any input go beyond (VA + 300 mV) or (GND − 300 mV), as
these ESD diodes will begin conducting, which could result in erratic operation. For this reason, the ESD diodes
should not be used to clamp the input signal.
The capacitor C1 in Figure 22 has a typical value of 4 pF, and is mainly the package pin capacitance. Resistor
R1 is the on resistance of the multiplexer and track / hold switch, and is typically 500Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC
sampling capacitor and is typically 26 pF. The ADC will deliver best performance when driven by a lowimpedance source to eliminate distortion caused by the charging of the sampling capacitance. This is especially
important when using the ADC to sample AC signals. Also important when sampling dynamic signals is an antialiasing filter.

Digital Inputs and Outputs
The ADC digital inputs (SCLK and CS) are not limited by the same absolute maximum ratings as the analog
inputs. The digital input pins are instead limited to +5.25V with respect to GND, regardless of VA, the supply
voltage. This allows the ADC to be interfaced with a wide range of logic levels, independent of the supply
voltage.

SNAS310D – JANUARY 2006 – REVISED JANUARY 2014
Modes of Operation
The ADC has two possible modes of operation: normal mode, and shutdown mode. The ADC enters normal
mode (and a conversion process is begun) when CS is pulled low. The device will enter shutdown mode if CS is
pulled high before the tenth falling edge of SCLK after CS is pulled low, or will stay in normal mode if CS remains
low. Once in shutdown mode, the device will stay there until CS is brought low again. By varying the ratio of time
spent in the normal and shutdown modes, a system may trade-off throughput for power consumption, with a
sample rate as low as zero.
Normal Mode
The fastest possible throughput is obtained by leaving the ADC in normal mode at all times, so there are no
power-up delays. To keep the device in normal mode continuously, CS must be kept low until after the 10th
falling edge of SCLK after the start of a conversion (remember that a conversion is initiated by bringing CS low).
If CS is brought high after the 10th falling edge, but before the 16th falling edge, the device will remain in normal
mode, but the current conversion will be aborted, and SDATA will return to TRI-STATE (truncating the output
word).
Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to read all of a conversion word from the device. After sixteen SCLK cycles
have elapsed, CS may be idled either high or low until the next conversion. If CS is idled low, it must be brought
high again before the start of the next conversion, which begins when CS is again brought low.
After sixteen SCLK cycles, SDATA returns to TRI-STATE. Another conversion may be started, after tQUIET has
elapsed, by bringing CS low again.
Shutdown Mode
Shutdown mode is appropriate for applications that either do not sample continuously, or it is acceptable to trade
throughput for power consumption. When the ADC is in shutdown mode, all of the analog circuitry is turned off.
To enter shutdown mode, a conversion must be interrupted by bringing CS back high anytime between the
second and tenth falling edges of SCLK, as shown in Figure 23. Once CS has been brought high in this manner,
the device will enter shutdown mode; the current conversion will be aborted and SDATA will enter TRI-STATE. If
CS is brought high before the second falling edge of SCLK, the device will not change mode; this is to avoid
accidentally changing mode as a result of noise on the CS line.
Figure 23. Entering Shutdown Mode
Figure 24. Entering Normal Mode
To exit shutdown mode, bring CS back low. Upon bringing CS low, the ADC will begin powering up (power-up
time is specified in the ADC081S101 Timing Specifications table). This power-up delay results in the first
conversion result being unusable. The second conversion performed after power-up, however, is valid, as shown
in Figure 24.

If CS is brought back high before the 10th falling edge of SCLK, the device will return to shutdown mode. This is
done to avoid accidentally entering normal mode as a result of noise on the CS line. To exit shutdown mode and
remain in normal mode, CS must be kept low until after the 10th falling edge of SCLK. The ADC will be fully
powered-up after 16 SCLK cycles.
Power Management
The ADC takes time to power-up, either after first applying VA, or after returning to normal mode from shutdown
mode. This corresponds to one "dummy" conversion for any SCLK frequency within the specifications in this
document. After this first dummy conversion, the ADC will perform conversions properly. Note that the tQUIET time
must still be included between the first dummy conversion and the second valid conversion.
When the VA supply is first applied, the ADC may power up in either of the two modes: normal or shutdown. As
such, one dummy conversion should be performed after start-up, as described in the previous paragraph. The
part may then be placed into either normal mode or the shutdown mode, as described in Normal Mode and
Shutdown Mode.
When the ADC is operated continuously in normal mode, the maximum ensured throughput is fSCLK / 20 at the
maximum specified fSCLK. Throughput may be traded for power consumption by running fSCLK at its maximum
specified rate and performing fewer conversions per unit time, raising the ADC CS line after the 10th and before
the 15th fall of SCLK of each conversion. A plot of typical power consumption versus throughput is shown in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section. To calculate the power consumption for a given throughput, multiply
the fraction of time spent in the normal mode by the normal mode power consumption and add the fraction of
time spent in shutdown mode multiplied by the shutdown mode power consumption. Note that the curve of power
consumption vs. throughput is essentially linear. This is because the power consumption in the shutdown mode
is so small that it can be ignored for all practical purposes.
Power Supply Noise Considerations
The charging of any output load capacitance requires current from the power supply, VA. The current pulses
required from the supply to charge the output capacitance will cause voltage variations on the supply. If these
variations are large enough, they could degrade SNR and SINAD performance of the ADC. Furthermore,
discharging the output capacitance when the digital output goes from a logic high to a logic low will dump current
into the die substrate, which is resistive. Load discharge currents will cause "ground bounce" noise in the
substrate that will degrade noise performance if that current is large enough. The larger the output capacitance,
the more current flows through the die substrate and the greater is the noise coupled into the analog channel,
degrading noise performance.
To keep noise out of the power supply, keep the output load capacitance as small as practical. It is good practice
to use a 100Ω series resistor at the ADC output, located as close to the ADC output pin as practical. This will
limit the charge and discharge current of the output capacitance and improve noise performance.
