The ADC78H89 may be operated with independent
analog and digital supplies. The analog supply (AVDD)
can range from +2.7V to +5.25V, and the digital
supply (DVDD) can range from +2.7V to AVDD. Normal
power consumption using a +3V or +5V supply is
1.5 mW and 8.3 mW, respectively. The power-down
feature reduces the power consumption to just
0.3 µW using a +3V supply, or 0.5 µW using a +5V
supply. The ADC78H89 is packaged in a 16-lead
TSSOP package. Operation over the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C is ensured.

Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values which 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 specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance
characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, VIN < AGND or VIN > VA or VD), 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 ADC78H89 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.

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.
APERTURE DELAY is the time between the fourth falling SCLK edge of a conversion and the time when the
input signal is acquired or held for conversion.
CONVERSION TIME is the time required, after the input voltage is acquired, for the ADC to convert the input
voltage to a digital word.
CROSSTALK is the coupling of energy from one channel into the other channel, or the amount of signal energy
from one analog input that appears at the measured analog input.
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 - 1.5
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 both second order (or all four third order) intermodulation products to the sum of the power in both of the
original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dBFS.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC78H89 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 +
0.5 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 rms values of the
input signal and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal is any signal present in the output spectrum
that is not present at the input.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, 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 62
A f 12
(1)
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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
USING THE ADC78H89
An operational timing diagram and a serial interface timing diagram for the ADC78H89 are shown in the Timing
Diagrams section. CS is chip select, which initiates conversions and frames the serial data transfers. SCLK
(serial clock) controls both the conversion process and the timing of serial data. DOUT is the serial data output
pin, where a conversion result is sent as a serial data stream, MSB first. Data to be written to the ADC78H89's
Control Register is placed on DIN, the serial data in pin.
The conversion process and serial data timing are controlled by the SCLK. Each conversion requires 16 SCLK
cycles to complete. Conversions are begun by bringing CS low. Several conversions can be executed
sequentially in a single serial frame, which is defined as the time between falling and rising edges of CS. If CS is
held low continuously, the ADC78H89 will perform conversions continuously.
Each time CS goes low, a conversion process is initiated simultaneously with a load of the Control Register. The
new contents of the Control Register will affect the next conversion. There is thus a one sample delay between
selecting a new input channel and observing the corresponding output.
Basic operation of the ADC78H89 begins with CS going low and initiating a conversion process and data
transfer. At this time the DOUT pin comes out of the high impedance state. The converter enters track mode at
the first falling edge of SCLK after CS is brought low, and begins to acquire the input signal. Acquisition of the
input signal continues during the first three SCLK cycles after the falling edge of CS. This acquisition time is
denoted by tACQ. The converter goes from track to hold mode on the fourth falling edge of SCLK, and the analog
input signal is sampled at this time (see Figure 2).
The ADC78H89 supports idling SCLK either high or low between conversions, when CS is high. The SCLK may
also run continuously while CS is high. Regardless of whether the clock is idled, SCLK is internally gated off
when CS is brought high. If SCLK is in the low state when CS goes high, the subsequent fall of CS will generate
a falling edge of the internal version of SCLK, putting the ADC into the track mode. This is seen as the first falling
edge of SCLK. If SCLK is in the high state when CS goes high, the ADC enters the track mode on the first falling
edge of SCLK after the falling edge of CS (see Figure 2). In both cases, a total of sixteen falling edges are
required to complete the acquisition and conversion process.
Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to read a complete sample from the ADC78H89. Each bit of the sample
(including leading zeros) is valid on subsequent rising edges of SCLK. The ADC78H89 will produce four leading
zeros on DOUT, followed by twelve data bits, most significant first. The final data bit, DB0, will be clocked out on
the 16th SCLK falling edge, and will be valid on the following rising edge. Depending upon the application, the
first edge on SCLK after CS goes low may be either a falling edge or a rising edge. If the first SCLK edge after
CS goes low is a falling edge, all four leading zeros will be valid on the first four rising edges of SCLK. If the first
SCLK edge after CS goes low is a rising edge, the first leading zero may not be set up in time for a
microprocessor or DSP to read it correctly. The remaining data bits are still clocked out on the falling edges of
SCLK, so that they are valid on the rising edges of SCLK.
Control information must be written to the Control Register whenever a conversion is performed. Information is
written to the Control Register on the first eight rising edges of SCLK of each conversion. It is important that the
DIN line is set up with the correct information when reading data from the ADC78H89. The input channel to be
sampled in the next conversion process is determined by writing information to the Control Register in the current
conversion.
On the rising edges of SCLK after CS is brought low, data is loaded through the DIN pin to the Control Register,
MSB first. Since the data on the DIN pin is transferred while the conversion data is being read, 16 serial clocks
are required for each data transfer. The control register only loads the information on the first 8 rising SCLK
edges; DIN is ignored for the last 8 rising edges. Table 1 describes the bit functions, where MSB indicates the
first bit of information in the loaded data. At power-up, the control register defaults to all zeros in the bit locations.

ADC78H89 OPERATION
The ADC78H89 is a successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter designed around a chargeredistribution digital-to-analog converter. Simplified schematics of the ADC78H89 in both track and hold modes
are shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22, respectively. In Figure 21, the ADC78H89 is in track mode: switch SW1
connects the sampling capacitor to one of seven analog input channels through the multiplexer, and SW2
balances the comparator inputs. The ADC78H89 is in this state for the first three SCLK cycles after CS is
brought low.
The user does not need to worry about any kind of power-up delays or dummy conversions with the ADC78H89.
The part is able to acquire input to full resolution in the first conversion immediately following power-up. The first
conversion after power up will be that of the first channel.
Figure 22 shows the ADC78H89 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 charge-redistribution 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 ADC78H89 is in this state for the last thirteen SCLK cycles after
CS is brought low.

ADC78H89 TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output format of the ADC89H89 is straight binary. Code transitions occur midway between successive
integer LSB values. The LSB width for the ADC78H89 is AVDD / 4096. The ideal transfer characteristic is shown
in Figure 23.
Figure 23. Ideal Transfer Characteristic
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
A typical application of the ADC78H89 is shown in Figure 24. The split analog and digital supplies are both
provided in this example by the Texas Instruments LP2950 low-dropout voltage regulator, available in a variety of
fixed and adjustable output voltages. The analog supply is bypassed with a capacitor network located close to
the ADC78H89. The digital supply is separated from the analog supply by an isolation resistor and conditioned
with additional bypass capacitors. The ADC78H89 uses the analog supply (AVDD) as its reference voltage, so it
is very important that AVDD be kept as clean as possible. Because of the ADC78H89'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.

Figure 24. Typical Application Circuit
ANALOG INPUTS
An equivalent circuit for one of the ADC78H89's input channels is shown in Figure 25. At the start of each
conversion, one of the ADC78H89's seven channels are selected. Diodes D1 and D2 provide ESD protection for
the analog inputs. At no time should an analog input be beyond (AVDD + 300 mV) or (GND - 300 mV), as these
ESD diodes will begin conducting, which could cause erratic operation.
The capacitor C1 in Figure 25 typically has a value of 3 pF, and is mainly the package pin capacitance. Resistor
R1 is the on resistance of the multiplexer and track / hold switch, and is typically 500 ohms. Capacitor C2 is the
ADC78H89 sampling capacitor, and is typically 30 pF. The ADC78H89 will deliver best performance when driven
by a low-impedance source to eliminate distortion caused by the charging of the sampling capacitor.
Figure 25. Equivalent Input Circuit
In applications where dynamic performance is critical, the ADC78H89 might need to be driven with a low outputimpedance amplifier. In addition, when using the ADC78H89 to sample AC signals, a band-pass or low-pass filter
will reduce harmonics and noise, improving dynamic performance.
DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The ADC78H89's digital inputs (SCLK, CS, and DIN) are limited by and cannot exceed the analog supply voltage
AVDD. The digital input pins are not prone to latch-up; SCLK, CS, and DIN may be asserted before DVDD without
any risk.
POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
The ADC78H89 has two supplies, although they could both have the same potential. There are two major power
supply concerns with this product. They are relative power supply levels, including power-on sequencing, and the
effect of digital supply noise on the analog supply.
Power Management
The ADC78H89 is a dual-supply device. These two supplies share ESD resources, and thus care must be
exercised to ensure that the power supplies are applied in the correct sequence. To avoid turning on the ESD
diodes, the digital supply (DVDD) cannot exceed the analog supply (AVDD) by more than 300 mV. The
ADC78H89's analog power supply must, therefore, be applied before (or concurrently with) the digital power
supply.

The ADC78H89 is fully powered-up whenever CS is low, and fully powered-down whenever CS is high, with one
exception: the ADC78H89 automatically enters power-down mode between the 16th falling edge of a conversion
and the 1st falling edge of the subsequent conversion (see Figure 2).
The ADC78H89 can perform multiple conversions back to back; each conversion requires 16 SCLK cycles. The
ADC78H89 will perform conversions continuously as long as CS is held low.
The user may trade off throughput for power consumption by simply performing fewer conversions per unit time.
The Power Consumption vs. Sample Rate curve in the Typical Performance Curves section shows the typical
power consumption of the ADC78H89 versus throughput. To calculate the power consumption, simply multiply
the fraction of time spent in the normal mode by the normal mode power consumption (8.3 mW with AVDD =
DVDD = +3.6V, for example), and add the fraction of time spent in shutdown mode multiplied by the shutdown
mode power dissipation (0.3 mW with AVDD = DVDD = +3.6V).
Power Supply Noise Considerations
The charging of any output load capacitance requires current from the digital supply, DVDD. The current pulses
required from the supply to charge the output capacitance will cause voltage variations on the digital supply. If
these variations are large enough, they could cause degrade SNR and SINAD performance of the ADC.
Furthermore, if the analog and digital supplies are tied directly together, the noise on the digital supply will be
coupled directly into the analog supply, causing greater performance degradation than noise on the digital
supply. 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 is
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.
The first solution is to decouple the analog and digital supplies from each other, or use separate supplies for
them, to keep digital noise out of the analog supply. To keep noise out of the digital supply, keep the output load
capacitance as small as practical. If the load capacitance is greater than 25 pF, use a 100 Ω 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.
