ADC122S706 Dual 12-Bit, 500 kSPS to 1 MSPS, Simultaneous Sampling A/D Converter
Check for Samples: ADC122S706
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The ADC122S706 is a dual 12-bit, 500 kSPS to 1
MSPS simultaneous sampling Analog-to-Digital (A/D)
converter. The analog inputs on both channels are
sampled simultaneously to preserve their relative
phase information to each other. The converter is
based on a successive-approximation register
architecture where the differential nature of the
analog inputs is maintained from the internal trackand-hold circuits throughout the A/D converter to
provide excellent common-mode signal rejection. The
ADC122S706 features an external reference that can
be varied from 1.0V to VA.

– Power-Down: 3 µW (Typ)
The ADC122S706 offers dual high-speed serial data
outputs that are binary 2's complement and are
compatible with several standards, such as SPI™,
QSPI™, MICROWIRE, and many common DSP
serial interfaces. Channel A's conversion result is
outputted on DOUTA while Channel B's conversion
result is outputted on DOUTB. This feature makes the
ADC122S706 an excellent replacement for systems
using two distinct ADCs in a simultaneous sampling
application. The serial clock (SCLK) and chip select
bar (CS) are shared by both channels. For lower
power consumption, a single serial data output mode
is externally selectable.
The ADC122S706 may be operated with independent
analog (VA) and digital (VD) supplies. VA can range
from 4.5V to 5.5V and VD can range from 2.7V to VA.
With the ADC122S706 operating with a VA of 5V and
a VD of 3V, the power consumption at 1 MSPS is
typically 25 mW. Operating in power-down mode, the
power consumption of the ADC122S706 decreases to
3 µW. The differential input, low power consumption,
and small size make the ADC122S706 ideal for direct
connection to sensors in motor control applications.
Operation is guaranteed over the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +105°C and clock
rates of 8 MHz to 16 MHz. The ADC122S706 is
available in a 14-lead TSSOP package.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

Description
1
VREF
Voltage Reference Input. A voltage reference between 1V and VA must be applied to this
input. VREF must be decoupled to GND with a minimum ceramic capacitor value of 0.1 µF.
A bulk capacitor value of 1.0 µF to 10 µF in parallel with the 0.1 µF is recommended for
enhanced performance.
2
CHA+
Non-Inverting Input for Channel A. CHA+ is the positive analog input for the differential
signal applied to Channel A.
3
CHA−
Inverting Input for Channel A. CHA− is the negative analog input for the differential signal
applied to Channel A.
4
GND
Ground. GND is the ground reference point for all signals applied to the ADC122S706.
5
CHB−
Inverting Input for Channel B. CHB− is the negative analog input for the differential signal
applied to Channel B.
6
CHB+
Non-Inverting Input for Channel B. CHB+ is the positive analog input for the differential
signal applied to Channel B.
7
VA
8
DUAL
Applying a logic high to this pin causes the conversion result of Channel A to be output on
DOUTA and the conversion result of Channel B to be output on DOUTB. Grounding this pin
causes the conversion result of Channel A and B to be output on DOUTA, with the result of
Channel A being output first. DOUTB is in a high impedance state when DUAL is grounded.
9
GND
Ground. GND is the ground reference point for all signals applied to the ADC122S706.
10
VD
Analog Power Supply input. A voltage source between 4.5V and 5.5V must be applied to
this input. VA must be decoupled to GND with a ceramic capacitor value of 0.1 µF in
parallel with a bulk capacitor value of 1.0 µF to 10 µF.
Digital Power Supply input. A voltage source between 2.7V and VA must be applied to this
input. VD must be decoupled to GND with a ceramic capacitor value of 0.1 µF in parallel
with a bulk capacitor value of 1.0 µF to 10 µF.
DOUTA
Serial Data Output for Channel A. With DUAL at a logic high state, the conversion result for
Channel A is provided on DOUTA. The serial data output word is comprised of 4 null bits and
12 data bits (MSB first). During a conversion, the data is outputted on the falling edges of
SCLK and is generally valid on the rising edges. With DUAL at a logic low state, the
conversion result of Channel A and B is outputted on DOUTA.
12
DOUTB
Serial Data Output for Channel B. With DUAL at a logic high state, the conversion result for
Channel B is provided on DOUTB. The serial data output word is comprised of 4 null bits and
12 data bits (MSB first). During a conversion, the data is outputted on the falling edges of
SCLK and is generally valid on the rising edges. With DUAL at a logic low state, DOUTB is in
a high impedance state.
13
SCLK
Serial Clock. SCLK is used to control data transfer and serves as the conversion clock.
14
CS
11
Chip Select Bar. CS is active low. The ADC122S706 is in Normal Mode when CS is LOW
and Power-Down Mode when CS is HIGH. A conversion begins on the fall of CS.

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 guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see
the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics
may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating
Ratings is not recommended.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, VIN < GND or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited
to 10 mA. The 50 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 five.
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 ADC122S706 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). Such conditions should always be avoided.
Human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is a 220 pF capacitor discharged
through 0 Ω. Charge device model simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an
automated assembler) then rapidly being discharged.

Specification Definitions
APERTURE DELAY is the time between the fourth falling edge of SCLK and the time when the input signal is
acquired or held for conversion.
COMMON MODE REJECTION RATIO (CMRR) is a measure of how well in-phase signals common to both input
pins are rejected.
To calculate CMRR, the change in output offset is measured while the common mode input voltage is changed
from 2V to 3V.
CMRR = 20 LOG ( Δ Common Input / Δ Output Offset)
(1)
CONVERSION TIME is the time required, after the input voltage is acquired, for the ADC to convert the input
voltage to a digital word.
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.
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.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC122S706 is
guaranteed not to have any missing codes.
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the differential input voltage at which the output
code transitions from negative full scale to the next code and −VREF + 0.5 LSB.
NEGATIVE GAIN ERROR is the difference between the negative full-scale error and the offset error.
OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the differential input voltage at which the output code transitions from
code 000h to 001h and 1/2 LSB.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the differential input voltage at which the output
code transitions to positive full scale and VREF minus 1.5 LSB.
POSITIVE GAIN ERROR is the difference between the positive full-scale error and the offset error.
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) is a measure of how well a change in supply voltage is rejected.
PSRR is calculated from the ratio of the change in offset error for a given change in supply voltage, expressed in
dB. For the ADC122S706, VA is changed from 4.5V to 5.5V.
PSRR = 20 LOG (ΔOffset / ΔVA)
(2)
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 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, expressed in dB. THD is calculated as
THD = 20 ‡ log10
A f 22 +
+ A f 62
A f 12

where Af1 is the RMS power of the input frequency at the output and Af2 through Af6 are the RMS power in the
first 5 harmonic frequencies.

SNAS408A – NOVEMBER 2007 – REVISED MARCH 2013
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADC122S706 is a dual 12-bit, simultaneous sampling Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter. The converter is
based on a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture where the differential nature of the analog
inputs is maintained from the internal track-and-hold circuits throughout the A/D converter. The analog inputs on
both channels are sampled simultaneously to preserve their relative phase information to each other. The
architecture and process allow the ADC122S706 to acquire and convert dual analog signals at sample rates up
to 1 MSPS while consuming very little power.
The ADC122S706 operates from independent analog and digital supplies. The analog supply (VA) can range
from 4.5V to 5.5V and the digital supply (VD) can range from 2.7V to VA. The ADC122S706 utilizes an external
reference. The external reference can be any voltage between 1V and VA. The value of the reference voltage
determines the range of the analog input, while the reference input current depends upon the conversion rate.
Analog inputs are presented at the inputs of Channel A and Channel B. Upon initiation of a conversion, the
differential input at these pins is sampled on the internal capacitor array. The inputs are disconnected from the
internal circuitry while a conversion is in progress.
The ADC122S706 requires an external clock. The duty cycle of the clock is essentially unimportant, provided the
minimum clock high and low times are met. The minimum clock frequency is set by internal capacitor leakage.
Each conversion requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. If less than 12 bits of conversion data are required, CS
can be brought high at any point during the conversion.
The ADC122S706 offers dual high-speed serial data outputs that are binary 2's complement and are compatible
with several standards, such as SPI™, QSPI™, MICROWIRE, and many common DSP serial interfaces.
Channel A's conversion result is outputted on DOUTA while Channel B's conversion result is outputted on DOUTB.
This feature makes the ADC122S706 an excellent replacement for systems using two distinct ADCs in a
simultaneous sampling application. The serial clock (SCLK) and chip select bar (CS) are shared by both
channels. The digital conversion of channel A and B is clocked out by the SCLK input and is provided serially,
most significant bit first, at DOUTA and DOUTB, respectively. The digital data that is provided at DOUTA and DOUTB is
that of the conversion currently in progress. With CS held low after the conversion is complete, the ADC122S706
continuously converts the analog inputs. For lower power consumption, a single serial data output mode is
externally selectable. This feature makes the ADC122S706 an excellent replacement for two independent ADCs
that are part of a daisy chain configuration.
REFERENCE INPUT
The externally supplied reference voltage sets the analog input range. The ADC122S706 will operate with a
reference voltage in the range of 1V to VA.
Operation with a reference voltage below 1V is also possible with slightly diminished performance. As the
reference voltage (VREF) is reduced, the range of acceptable analog input voltages is reduced. Assuming a
proper common-mode input voltage, the differential peak-to-peak input range is limited to twice VREF. See Input
Common Mode Voltage for more details. Reducing the value of VREF also reduces the size of the least significant
bit (LSB). The size of one LSB is equal to twice the reference voltage divided by 4096. When the LSB size goes
below the noise floor of the ADC122S706, the noise will span an increasing number of codes and overall
performance will suffer. For example, dynamic signals will have their SNR degrade, while D.C. measurements
will have their code uncertainty increase. Since the noise is Gaussian in nature, the effects of this noise can be
reduced by averaging the results of a number of consecutive conversions.
Additionally, since offset and gain errors are specified in LSB, any offset and/or gain errors inherent in the A/D
converter will increase in terms of LSB size as the reference voltage is reduced.
The reference input and the analog inputs are connected to the capacitor array through a switch matrix when the
input is sampled. Hence, the current requirements at the reference and at the analog inputs are a series of
transient spikes that occur at a frequency dependent on the operating sample rate of the ADC122S706.
The reference current changes only slightly with temperature. See Figure 38 and Figure 39 in Typical
Performance Characteristics for additional details.

ANALOG SIGNAL INPUTS
The ADC122S706 has dual differential inputs where the effective input voltage that is digitized is CHA+ minus
CHA− (DIFFINA) and CHB+ minus CHB− (DIFFINB). As is the case with all differential input A/D converters,
operation with a fully differential input signal or voltage will provide better performance than with a single-ended
input. However, the ADC122S706 can be presented with a single-ended input.
The current required to recharge the input sampling capacitor will cause voltage spikes at the + and − inputs. Do
not try to filter out these noise spikes. Rather, ensure that the transient settles out during the acquisition period
(three SCLK cycles after the fall of CS).
Differential Input Operation
With a fully differential input voltage or signal, a positive full scale output code (0111 1111 1111b or 7FFh) will be
obtained when DIFFINA or DIFFINB is greater than or equal to VREF − 1.5 LSB. A negative full scale code (1000
0000 0000b or 800h) will be obtained when DIFFINA or DIFFINB is greater than or equal to −VREF + 0.5 LSB.
This ignores gain, offset and linearity errors, which will affect the exact differential input voltage that will
determine any given output code. Figure 44 shows the ADC122S706 being driven by a full-scale differential
source.

Single-Ended Input Operation
For single-ended operation, the non-inverting inputs of the ADC122S706 can be driven with a signal that has a
maximum to minimum value range that is equal to or less than twice the reference voltage. The inverting inputs
should be biased at a stable voltage that is halfway between these maximum and minimum values. In order to
utilize the entire dynamic range of the ADC122S706, the reference voltage is limited at VA / 2. This allows the
non-inverting inputs the maximum swing range of ground to VA. Figure 45 shows the ADC122S706 being driven
by a full-scale single-ended source.

Figure 45. Single-Ended Input
Since the design of the ADC122S706 is optimized for a differential input, the performance degrades slightly when
driven with a single-ended input. Linearity characteristics such as INL and DNL typically degrade by 0.1 LSB and
dynamic characteristics such as SINAD typically degrades by 2 dB. Note that single-ended operation should only
be used if the performance degradation (compared with differential operation) is acceptable.

SERIAL DIGITAL INTERFACE
The ADC122S706 communicates via a synchronous serial interface as shown in Timing Diagrams. CS, chip
select, initiates conversions and frames the serial data transfers. SCLK (serial clock) controls both the conversion
process and the timing of the serial data. DOUTA and DOUTB are the serial data output pins, where the conversion
results of Channel A and Channel B are sent as serial data streams, MSB first.
A serial frame is initiated on the falling edge of CS and ends on the rising edge of CS. The ADC122S706's data
output pins are in a high impedance state when CS is high and are active when CS is low; thus CS acts as an
output enable. A timing diagram for a single conversion is shown in Figure 1.
During the first three cycles of SCLK, the ADC122S706 is in acquisition mode (tACQ), tracking the input voltage.
For the next twelve SCLK cycles (tCONV), the conversion is accomplished and the data is clocked out. SCLK
falling edges one through four clock out leading zeros while falling edges five through sixteen clock out the
conversion result, MSB first. If there is more than one conversion in a frame (continuous conversion mode), the
ADC122S706 will re-enter acquisition mode on the falling edge of SCLK after the N*16th rising edge of SCLK
and re-enter the conversion mode on the N*16+4th falling edge of SCLK as shown in Figure 3. "N" is an integer
value.
The ADC122S706 can enter acquisition mode under three different conditions. The first condition involves CS
going low (asserted) with SCLK high. In this case, the ADC122S706 enters acquisition mode on the first falling
edge of SCLK after CS is asserted. In the second condition, CS goes low with SCLK low. Under this condition,
the ADC122S706 automatically enters acquisition mode and the falling edge of CS is seen as the first falling
edge of SCLK. In the third condition, CS and SCLK go low simultaneously and the ADC122S706 enters
acquisition mode. While there is no timing restriction with respect to the falling edges of CS and the falling edge
of SCLK, see Figure 6 for setup and hold time requirements for the falling edge of CS with respect to the rising
edge of SCLK.

CS Input
The CS (chip select bar) is an active low input that is TTL and CMOS compatible. The ADC122S706 is in
conversion mode when CS is low and power-down mode when CS is high. As a result, CS frames the
conversion window. The falling edge of CS marks the beginning of a conversion and the rising edge of CS marks
the end of a conversion window. Multiple conversions can occur within a given conversion frame with each
conversion requiring sixteen SCLK cycles. This is referred to as continuous conversion mode and is shown in
Figure 3 of Timing Diagrams.
Proper operation requires that the fall of CS not occur simultaneously with a rising edge of SCLK. If the fall of CS
occurs during the rising edge of SCLK, the data might be clocked out one bit early. Whether or not the data is
clocked out early depends upon how close the CS transition is to the SCLK transition, the device temperature,
and characteristics of the individual device. To ensure that the MSB is always clocked out at a given time (the
5th falling edge of SCLK), it is essential that the fall of CS always meet the timing requirement specified in
Timing Specifications.
SCLK Input
The SCLK (serial clock) serves two purposes in the ADC122S706. It is used by the ADC as the conversion clock
and it is used as the serial clock to output the conversion results. This SCLK input is CMOS compatible. Internal
settling time requirements limit the maximum clock frequency while internal capacitor leakage limits the minimum
clock frequency. The ADC122S706 offers guaranteed performance with the clock rates indicated in the electrical
table.
Data Output(s)
The ADC122S706 enables system designers two options for receiving converted data from the ADC122S706.
Data can be received from separate data output pins (DOUTA and DOUTB) or from a single data output line. These
options are controlled by the digital input pin DUAL. With the DUAL pin set to a logic high level, the dual highspeed serial outputs are enabled. Channel A's conversion result is outputted on DOUTA while Channel B's
conversion result is outputted on DOUTB. With the DUAL pin set to a logic low level, the conversion result of
Channel A and Channel B is outputted on DOUTA, with the result of Channel A being outputted before the result of
Channel B. The DOUTB pin is in a high impedance state during this condition. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 in Timing
Diagrams for more details on DUAL and SINGLE DOUT mode.
The output data format of the ADC122S706 is two’s complement, as shown in Table 2. This table indicates the
ideal output code for the given input voltage and does not include the effects of offset, gain error, linearity errors,
or noise. Each data bit is output on the falling edge of SCLK.

While data is output on the falling edges of SCLK, receiving systems have the option of capturing the data on the
subsequent rising or falling edge of SCLK. The maximum specification for tDA (DOUT access time after an SCLK
falling edge) is provided for two power supply ranges. If the system is operating at the maximum clock frequency
of 16 MHz and a VD supply voltage of 3V, it would be necessary for the receiver to capture data on the
subsequent falling edge of SCLK in order to guarantee performance over the entire temperature range.
Operating at a VD supply voltage of 5V or an SCLK frequency less than 10 MHz allows data to be captured on
either edge of SCLK. If a receiving system is going to capture data on the subsequent falling edge of SCLK, it is
important to make sure that the minimum hold time after an SCLK falling edge (tDH) is acceptable. See Figure 5
for DOUT hold and access times.
DOUT is enabled on the falling edge of CS and disabled on the rising edge of CS. If CS is raised prior to the 16th
falling edge of SCLK, the current conversion is aborted and DOUT will go into its high impedance state. A new
conversion will begin when CS is taken LOW.

+2.7V ≤ VD ≤ VA
1V ≤ VREF ≤ VA
8 MHz ≤ fSCLK ≤ 16 MHz
VCM: See Input Common Mode Voltage
POWER CONSUMPTION
The architecture, design, and fabrication process allow the ADC122S706 to operate at conversion rates up to 1
MSPS while consuming very little power. The ADC122S706 consumes the least amount of power while operating
in power down mode. For applications where power consumption is critical, the ADC122S706 should be
operated in power down mode as often as the application will tolerate. To further reduce power consumption,
stop the SCLK while CS is high.
Short Cycling
Short cycling refers to the process of halting a conversion after the last needed bit is outputted. Short cycling can
be used to lower the power consumption in those applications that do not need a full 12-bit resolution, or where
an analog signal is being monitored until some condition occurs. For example, it may not be necessary to use the
full 12-bit resolution of the ADC122S706 as long as the signal being monitored is within certain limits. In some
circumstances, the conversion could be terminated after the first few bits. This will lower power consumption in
the converter since the ADC122S706 spends more time in power down mode and less time in the conversion
mode.
Short cycling is accomplished by pulling CS high after the last required bit is received from the ADC122S706
output. This is possible because the ADC122S706 places the latest converted data bit on DOUT as it is
generated. If only 8-bits of the conversion result are needed, for example, the conversion can be terminated by
pulling CS high after the 8th bit has been clocked out.
Burst Mode Operation
Normal operation of the ADC122S706 requires the SCLK frequency to be sixteen times the sample rate and the
CS rate to be the same as the sample rate. However, in order to minimize power consumption in applications
requiring sample rates below 500 kSPS, the ADC122S706 should be run with an SCLK frequency of 16 MHz and
a CS rate as slow as the system requires. When this is accomplished, the ADC122S706 is operating in burst
mode. The ADC122S706 enters into power down mode at the end of each conversion, minimizing power
consumption. This causes the converter to spend the longest possible time in power down mode. Since power
consumption scales directly with conversion rate, minimizing power consumption requires determining the lowest
conversion rate that will satisfy the requirements of the system.
Single DOUT mode
With the DUAL pin connected to a logic low level, the ADC122S706 is operating in single DOUT mode. In single
DOUT mode, the conversion result of Channel A and Channel B are both output on DOUTA (see Figure 2).
Operating in this mode causes the maximum conversion rate to be reduced to 500kSPS while operating with an
SCLK frequency of 16 MHz. This is a result of the conversion window changing from 16 clock cycles to 32 clock
cycles to receive the conversion result of Channel A and Channel B. Since the conversion of Channel A and
Channel B are still performed simultaneously, the ADC122S706 still enters a power down state on the 16th
falling edge of SCLK. The increased time spent in power down mode causes the power consumption of the
ADC122S706 to reduce nearly by a factor of two. See the Power Supply Characteristics Table for more details.

POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS AND PCB LAYOUT
For best performance, care should be taken with the physical layout of the printed circuit board. This is especially
true with a low reference voltage or when the conversion rate is high. At high clock rates there is less time for
settling, so it is important that any noise settles out before the conversion begins.
Analog and Digital Power Supplies
Any ADC architecture is sensitive to spikes on the power supply, reference, and ground pins. These spikes may
originate from switching power supplies, digital logic, high power devices, and other sources. Power to the
ADC122S706 should be clean and well bypassed. A 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor and a 1 µF to 10 µF
capacitor should be used to bypass the ADC122S706 supply, with the 0.1 µF capacitor placed as close to the
ADC122S706 package as possible.
Since the ADC122S706 has both an analog and a digital supply pin, the user has three options. The first option
is to tie the analog and digital supply pins together and power them with the same power supply. This is the most
cost effective way of powering the ADC122S706 but it is also the least ideal. As stated previously, noise from the
digital supply pin can couple into the analog supply pin and adversely affect performance. The other two options
involve the user powering the analog and digital supply pins with separate supply voltages. These supply
voltages can have the same amplitude or they can be different. The only design constraint is that the digital
supply voltage be less than the analog supply voltage. This is not usually a problem since many applications
prefer a digital interface of 3V while operating the analog section of the ADC122S706 at 5V. Operating the digital
supply pin at 3V as apposed to 5V offers two advantages. It lowers the power consumption of the ADC122S706
and it decreases the noise created by charging and discharging the capacitance of the digital interface pins.
Voltage Reference
The reference source must have a low output impedance and needs to be bypassed with a minimum capacitor
value of 0.1 µF. A larger capacitor value of 1 µF to 10 µF placed in parallel with the 0.1 µF is preferred. While the
ADC122S706 draws very little current from the reference on average, there are higher instantaneous current
spikes at the reference input.
The reference input of the ADC122S706, like all A/D converters, does not reject noise or voltage variations. Keep
this in mind if the reference voltage is derived from the power supply. Any noise and/or ripple from the supply
that is not rejected by the external reference circuitry will appear in the digital results. The use of an active
reference source is recommended. The LM4040 and LM4050 shunt reference families and the LM4132 and
LM4140 series reference families are excellent choices for a reference source.
PCB Layout
Capacitive coupling between the noisy digital circuitry and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor
performance. The solution is to keep the analog circuitry separated from the digital circuitry and the clock lines
short as possible. Digital circuits create substantial supply and ground current transients. The logic noise
generated could have significant impact upon system noise performance. To avoid performance degradation of
the ADC122S706 due to supply noise, avoid using the same supply for the VA and VREF of the ADC122S706
that is used for digital circuitry on the board.
Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at 90° to avoid crosstalk. However, to maximize
accuracy in high resolution systems, avoid crossing analog and digital lines altogether. It is important to keep
clock lines as short as possible and isolated from ALL other lines, including other digital lines. In addition, the
clock line should also be treated as a transmission line and be properly terminated. The analog input should be
isolated from noisy signal traces to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. Any external component
(e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter's input pins and ground or to the reference input pin
and ground should be connected to a very clean point in the ground plane.
A single, uniform ground plane and the use of split power planes are recommended. The power planes should be
located within the same board layer. All analog circuitry (input amplifiers, filters, reference components, etc.)
should be placed over the analog power plane. All digital circuitry and I/O lines should be placed over the digital
power plane. Furthermore, the GND pin on the ADC122S706 and all the components in the reference circuitry
and input signal chain that are connected to ground should be connected to the ground plane at a quiet point.
Avoid connecting these points too close to the ground point of a microprocessor, microcontroller, digital signal
processor, or other high power digital device.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
The following figures are examples of the ADC122S706 in typical application circuits. These circuits are basic
and will generally require modification for specific circumstances.
Data Acquisition
Figure 48 shows a basic low cost, low power data acquisition circuit. The analog and digital supply pins are
powered by the system +5V supply and the 2.5V reference voltage is generated by the LM4040-2.5 shunt
reference.

Current Sensing Application
Figure 49 shows an example of interfacing a pair of current transducers to the ADC122S706. The current
transducers convert an input current into a voltage that is converted by the ADC. Since the output voltage of the
current transducers are single-ended and centered around a common-mode voltage of 2.5V, the ADC122S706 is
configured with the output of the transducer driving the non-inverting inputs and the common-mode output
voltage of the transducer driving the inverting input. The output of the transducer has an output range of ±2V
around the common-mode voltage of 2.5V. As a result, a series reference voltage of 2.0V is connected to the
ADC122S706. This will allow all of the codes of the ADC122S706 to be available for the application. This
configuration of the ADC122S706 is referred to as a single-ended application of a differential ADC. All of the
elements in the application are conveniently powered by the same +5V power supply, keeping circuit complexity
and cost to a minimum.

Bridge Sensor Application
Figure 50 shows an example of interfacing the ADC122S706 to a pair of bridge sensors. The application
assumes that the bridge sensors require buffering and amplification to fully utilize the dynamic range of the ADC
and thus optimize the performance of the entire signal path. The amplification stage for each ADC input consists
of a pair of opamps from the LMP7704. The amplification stage offers the benefit of high input impedance and
potentially high amplification. On the other hand, it offers no common-mode rejection of noise coming from the
bridge sensors. The application circuit assumes the bridge sensors are powered from the same +5V power
supply voltage as the analog supply pin on the ADC122S706. This has the benefit of providing the ideal
common-mode input voltage for the ADC122S706 while keeping design complexity and cost to a minimum. The
LM4132-4.1, a 4.1V series reference, is used as the reference voltage in the application.
