16-Bit, 1.25MSPS Analog-to-Digital Converter
Check for Samples: ADS1601
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The ADS1601 is a high-speed, high-precision,
delta-sigma
analog-to-digital
converter
(ADC)
manufactured on an advanced CMOS process. The
ADS1601 oversampling topology reduces clock jitter
sensitivity during the sampling of high-frequency,
large amplitude signals by a factor of four over that
achieved by Nyquist-rate ADCs. Consequently,
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is particularly improved.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is –103dB, and the
spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is 105dB

Optimized for power and performance, the ADS1601
dissipates only 330mW while providing a full-scale
differential input range of ±0.94VREF. Having such a
wide input range makes out-of-range signals
uncommon. The OTR pin indicates if an analog input
out-of-range condition does occur. The differential
input signal is measured against the differential
reference, which can be generated internally on the
ADS1601 or supplied externally.
The ADS1601 uses an inherently stable advanced
modulator with an on-chip decimation filter. The filter
stop band extends to 19.3MHz, which greatly
simplifies the anti-aliasing circuitry. The modulator
samples the input signal up to 20MSPS, depending
on fCLK, while the 16x decimation filter uses a series
of four half-band FIR filter stages to provide 75dB of
stop band attenuation and 0.001dB of passband
ripple.
Output data is provided over a simple 3-wire serial
interface at rates up to 1.25MSPS, with a –3dB
bandwidth of 615kHz. The output data or its
complementary format directly connects to DSPs
such as TI’s TMS320 family, FPGAs, or ASICs. A
dedicated synchronization pin enables simultaneous
sampling with multiple ADS1601s in multi-channel
systems. Power dissipation is set by an external
resistor that allows a reduction in dissipation when
operating at slower speeds. All of the ADS1601
features are controlled by dedicated I/O pins, which
simplify operation by eliminating the need for on-chip
registers.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

DEFINITIONS
Absolute Input Voltage
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
Absolute input voltage, given in volts, is the voltage of
each analog input (AINN or AINP) with respect to
AGND.
IMD, given in dB, is measured while applying two
input signals of the same magnitude, but with slightly
different frequencies. It is calculated as the difference
between the rms amplitude of the input signal to the
rms amplitude of the peak spurious signal.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the delay between the rising edge
of CLK and the sampling of the input signal.
Common-Mode Input Voltage
Common-mode input voltage (VCM) is the average
voltage of the analog inputs:
Offset Error
Offset Error, given in % of FSR, is the output reading
when the differential input is zero.
Offset Error Drift
Differential Input Voltage
Offset error drift, given in ppm of FSR/°C, is the drift
over temperature of the offset error. The offset error
is specified as the larger of the drift from ambient
(T = +25°C) to the minimum or maximum operating
temperatures.
Differential input voltage (VIN) is the voltage
difference between the analog inputs (AINP−AINN).
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
(AINP + AINN)
2
DNL, given in least-significant bits of the output code
(LSB), is the maximum deviation of the output code
step sizes from the ideal value of 1LSB.
SNR, given in dB, is the ratio of the rms value of the
input signal to the sum of all the frequency
components below fCLK/2 (the Nyquist frequency)
excluding the first six harmonics of the input signal
and the dc component.
Full-Scale Range (FSR)
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)
FSR is the difference between the maximum and
minimum measurable input signals (FSR = 1.88VREF).
SINAD, given in dB, is the ratio of the rms value of
the input signal to the sum of all the frequency
components below fCLK/2 (the Nyquist frequency)
including the harmonics of the input signal but
excluding the dc component.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Gain Error
Gain error, given in %, is the error of the full-scale
input signal with respect to the ideal value.
Gain Error Drift
Gain error drift, given in ppm/°C, is the drift over
temperature of the gain error. The gain error is
specified as the larger of the drift from ambient
(T = 25°C) to the minimum or maximum operating
temperatures.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR, given in dB, is the difference between the rms
amplitude of the input signal to the rms amplitude of
the peak spurious signal.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD, given in dB, is the ratio of the sum of the rms
value of the first six harmonics of the input signal to
the rms value of the input signal.
INL, given in least-significant bits of the output code
(LSB), is the maximum deviation of the output codes
from a best fit line.

ADS1601
SBAS322D – DECEMBER 2004 – REVISED OCTOBER 2011
www.ti.com
OVERVIEW
The ADS1601 is a high-performance delta-sigma
ADC. The modulator uses an inherently stable 2-1-1
multi-stage architecture incorporating proprietary
circuitry that allows for very linear high-speed
operation. The modulator samples the input signal at
20MSPS (when fCLK = 20MHz). A low-ripple linear
phase digital filter decimates the modulator output by
16 to provide high resolution 16-bit output data.
Conceptually, the modulator and digital filter measure
the differential input signal, VIN = (AINP – AINN),
against
the
scaled
differential
reference,
VREF = (VREFP – VREFN), as shown in Figure 35.
The voltage reference can either be generated
internally or supplied externally. A three-wire serial
interface, designed for direct connection to DSPs,
outputs the data. A separate power supply for the I/O
allows flexibility for interfacing to different logic
families. Out-of-range conditions are indicated with a
dedicated digital output pin. Analog power dissipation
is controlled using an external resistor. This control
allows reduced dissipation when operating at slower
speeds. When not in use, power consumption can be
dramatically reduced by setting the PD pin low to
enter Power-Down mode.
The ADS1601 supports a very wide range of input
signals. For VREF = 3V, the full-scale input voltage is
±2.82V. Having such a wide input range makes
out-of-range signals unlikely. However, if an
out-of-range signal occurs, the digital output OTR
goes high.
The analog inputs must be driven with a differential
signal to achieve optimum performance. For the input
signal:
VCM = AINP + AINN
2
the recommended common-mode voltage is 2.7V. In
addition to the differential and common-mode input
voltages, the absolute input voltage is also important.
This is the voltage on either input (AINP or AINN)
with respect to AGND. The range for this voltage is:
–0.1V < (AINN or AINP) < 4.6V
If either input is taken below –0.1V, ESD protection
diodes on the inputs will turn on. Exceeding 4.6V on
either input results in degradation in the linearity
performance. ESD protection diodes will also turn on
if the inputs are taken above AVDD (+5V).
ANALOG INPUTS (AINP, AINN)
The recommended absolute input voltage is:
The ADS1601 measures the differential signal,
VIN = (AINP – AINN), against the differential
reference, VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The most
positive measurable differential input is 0.94VREF,
which produces the most positive digital output code
of 7FFFh. Likewise, the most negative measurable
differential input is –0.94VREF, which produces the
most negative digital output code of 8000h.
–0.1V < (AINN or AINP) < 4.2V
Keeping the inputs within this range provides for
optimum performance.

INPUT CIRCUITRY
The ADS1601 uses switched-capacitor circuitry to
measure the input voltage. Internal capacitors are
charged by the inputs and then discharged internally
with this cycle repeating at the frequency of CLK.
Figure 36 shows a conceptual diagram of these
circuits. Switches S2 represent the net effect of the
modulator circuitry in discharging the sampling
capacitors; the actual implementation is different. The
timing for switches S1 and S2 is shown in Figure 37.
ADS1601

drivers close to the inputs and use good capacitor
bypass techniques on their supplies, such as a
smaller high-quality ceramic capacitor in parallel with
a larger capacitor. Keep the resistances used in the
driver circuits low—thermal noise in the driver circuits
degrades the overall noise performance. When the
signal can be ac-coupled to the ADS1601 inputs, a
simple RC filter can set the input common-mode
voltage.
The
ADS1601
is
a
high-speed,
high-performance ADC. Special care must be taken
when selecting the test equipment and setup used
with this device. Pay particular attention to the signal
sources to ensure they do not limit performance when
measuring the ADS1601.

DRIVING THE INPUTS
The external circuits driving the ADS1601 inputs must
be able to handle the load presented by the switching
capacitors within the ADS1601. The input switches S1
in Figure 36 are closed for approximately one-half of
the sampling period, tSAMPLE, allowing only ≉ 24ns for
the internal capacitors to be charged by the inputs
when fCLK = 20MHz.
Figure 38 and Figure 39 show the recommended
circuits when using single-ended or differential op
amps, respectively. The analog inputs must be driven
differentially to achieve optimum performance. The
external capacitors, between the inputs and from
each input to AGND, improve linearity and should be
placed as close to the pins as possible. Place the

REFERENCE INPUTS (VREFN, VREFP, VMID)
EXTERNAL REFERENCE (REFEN = HIGH)
The ADS1601 can operate from an internal or
external voltage reference. In either case, the
reference voltage VREF is set by the differential
voltage between VREFN and VREFP: VREF =
(VREFP – VREFN). VREFP and VREFN each use
two pins, which should be shorted together. VMID
equals approximately 2.5V and is used by the
modulator. VCAP connects to an internal node and
must also be bypassed with an external capacitor.
To use an external reference, set the REFEN pin
high. This deactivates the internal generators for
VREFP,
VREFN,
and
VMID,
and
saves
approximately 25mA of current on the analog supply
(AVDD). The voltages applied to these pins must be
within the values specified in the Electrical
Characteristics table. Typically, VREFP = 4V, VMID =
2.5V, and VREFN = 1V. The external circuitry must
be capable of providing both a dc and a transient
current. Figure 41 shows a simplified diagram of the
internal circuitry of the reference when the internal
reference is disabled. As with the input circuitry,
switches S1 and S2 open and close as shown by the
timing in Figure 37.
INTERNAL REFERENCE (REFEN = LOW)
To use the internal reference, set the REFEN pin low.
This activates the internal circuitry that generates the
reference voltages. The internal reference voltages
are applied to the pins. Good bypassing of the
reference pins is critical to achieve optimum
performance and is done by placing the bypass
capacitors as close to the pins as possible. Figure 40
shows the recommended bypass capacitor values.
Use high-quality ceramic capacitors for the smaller
values. Avoid loading the internal reference with
external circuitry. If the ADS1601 internal reference is
to be used by other circuitry, buffer the reference
voltages to prevent directly loading the reference
pins.

high-speed layout practices. Place the buffers, and
especially the bypass capacitors, as close to the pins
as possible. VCAP is unaffected by the setting on
REFEN and must be bypassed when using the
internal or an external reference.

CLOCK INPUT (CLK)
The ADS1601 requires an external clock signal to be
applied to the CLK input pin. The sampling of the
modulator is controlled by this clock signal. As with
any high-speed data converter, a high quality clock is
essential for optimum performance. Crystal clock
oscillators are the recommended CLK source; other
sources, such as frequency synthesizers, are usually
inadequate. Make sure to avoid excess ringing on the
CLK input; keeping the trace as short as possible
helps.
Measuring high-frequency, large amplitude signals
requires tight control of clock jitter. The uncertainty
during sampling of the input from clock jitter limits the
maximum achievable SNR. This effect becomes more
pronounced with higher frequency and larger
magnitude inputs. Fortunately, the ADS1601
oversampling topology reduces clock jitter sensitivity
over that of Nyquist rate converters such as pipeline
and successive approximation converters by a factor
of √16.
In order to not limit the ADS1601 SNR performance,
keep the jitter on the clock source below the values
shown in Table 1. When measuring lower frequency
and lower amplitude inputs, more CLK jitter can be
tolerated. In determining the allowable clock source
jitter, select the worst-case input (highest frequency,
largest amplitude) that will be seen in the application.

The 16-bit output data are in binary two’s

input is positive out-of-range, exceeding the positive
full-scale value of +0.94VREF, the output clips to all
7FFFh and the OTR output goes high.
Likewise, when the input is negative out-of-range by
going below the negative full-scale value
of –0.94VREF, the output clips to 8000h and the OTR
output goes high. The OTR remains high while the
input signal is out-of-range.

OUT-OF-RANGE INDICATION (OTR)
If the output code exceeds the positive or negative
full-scale, the out-of-range digital output OTR will go
high on the falling edge of SCLK. When the output
code returns within the full-scale range, OTR returns
low on the falling edge of SCLK.

DATA RETRIEVAL
STEP RESPONSE
Data retrieval is controlled through a simple serial
interface. The interface operates in a master fashion
by outputting both a frame sync indicator (FSO) and a
serial clock (SCLK). Complementary outputs are
provided for the frame sync output (FSO), serial clock
(SCLK), and data output (DOUT). When not needed,
leave the complementary outputs unconnected.
Figure 44 plots the normalized step response for an
input applied at t = 0. The x-axis units of time are
conversions cycles. It takes 51 cycles to fully settle;
for fCLK = 20MHz, this corresponds to 40.8μs.

INITIALIZING THE ADS1601
After the power supplies have stabilized, you must
initialize the ADS1601 by issuing a SYNC pulse as
shown in Figure 1. This operation needs only to be
done once after power-up and does not need to be
performed when exiting the Power-Down mode. Note
that the ADS1601 silicon was revised in June 2006.
The digital interface timing specifications were
modified slightly from the previous revision. This data
sheet reflects behavior of the latest revision. Contact
the factory for more information on the previous
revision.

SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE ADS1601s
The SYNC input can be used to synchronize multiple
ADS1601s to provide simultaneous sampling. All
devices to be synchronized must use a common CLK
input. With the CLK inputs running, pulse SYNC on
the falling edge of CLK, as shown in Figure 43.
Afterwards, the converters will be converting
synchronously with the FSO outputs updating
simultaneously. After synchronization, FSO is held
low until the digital filter has fully settled.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The linear phase FIR digital filter sets the overall
frequency response. Figure 45 shows the frequency
response from dc to 10MHz for fCLK = 20MHz. The
frequency response of the ADS1601 filter scales
directly with CLK frequency. For example, if the CLK
frequency is decreased by half (to 10MHz), the
values on the X-axis in Figure 45 would need to be
scaled by half, with the span becoming dc to 5MHz.
Figure 46 shows the passband ripple from dc to
600kHz (fCLK = 20MHz). Figure 47 shows a closer
view of the passband transition by plotting the
response from 400kHz to 650kHz (fCLK = 20MHz).

ANALOG POWER DISSIPATION
An external resistor connected between the RBIAS
pin and the analog ground sets the analog current
level, as shown in Figure 49. The current is inversely
proportional to the resistor value. Table 3 shows the
recommended values of RBIAS for different CLK
frequencies. Notice that the analog current can be
reduced when using a slower frequency CLK input
because the modulator has more time to settle. Avoid
adding any capacitance in parallel to RBIAS because
this interferes with the internal circuitry used to set
the biasing. Please note that changing RBIAS changes
internally-generated voltages, including the internal
reference; therefore, it should be understood that the
recommendations of Table 3 are for external
reference only.
ADS1601
ANTI-ALIAS REQUIREMENTS
Higher frequency, out-of-band signals must be
eliminated to prevent aliasing with ADCs. Fortunately,
the ADS1601 on-chip digital filter greatly simplifies
this filtering requirement. Figure 48 shows the
ADS1601 response out to 60MHz (fCLK = 20MHz).
Since the stop band extends out to 19.3MHz, the
anti-alias filter in front of the ADS1601 only needs to
be designed to remove higher frequency signals than
this, which can usually be accomplished with a simple
RC circuit on the input driver.

POWER DOWN (PD)
POWER SUPPLIES
When not in use, the ADS1601 can be powered down
by taking the PD pin low. All circuitry is shut down,
including the voltage reference. To minimize the
digital current during power down, stop the clock
signal supplied to the CLK input. There is an internal
pull-up resistor of 170kΩ on the PD pin, but it is
recommended that this pin be connected to IOVDD if
not used. Make sure to allow time for the reference to
start up after exiting power-down mode. The internal
reference typically requires 15ms. After the reference
has stabilized, allow at least 100 conversions for the
modulator and digital filter to settle before retrieving
data.
Three supplies are used on the ADS1601: analog
(AVDD), digital (DVDD) and digital I/O (IOVDD). Each
supply must be suitably bypassed to achieve the best
performance. It is recommended that a 1μF and
0.1μF ceramic capacitor be placed as close to each
supply pin as possible. Connect each supply-pin
bypass capacitor to the associated ground, as shown
in Figure 50. Each main supply bus should also be
bypassed with a bank of capacitors from 47μF to
0.1μF, as shown. The I/O and digital supplies (IOVDD
and DVDD) can be connected together when using
the same voltage. In this case, only one bank of 47μF
to 0.1μF capacitors is needed on the main supply
bus, though each supply pin must still be bypassed
with a 1μF and 0.1μF ceramic capacitor.

LAYOUT ISSUES AND COMPONENT
SELECTION
The McBSP provides a host of functions including:
• Full-duplex communication
• Double-buffered data registers
• Independent framing and clocking for reception
and transmission of data
The ADS1601 is a very high-speed, high-resolution
data converter. In order to achieve maximum
performance, the user must give very careful
consideration to both the layout of the printed circuit
board (PCB) in addition to the routing of the traces.
Capacitors that are critical to achieve the best
performance from the device should be placed as
close to the pins of the device as possible. These
include capacitors related to the analog inputs, the
reference, and the power supplies.
For critical capacitors, it is recommended that Class II
dielectrics such as Z5U be avoided. These dielectrics
have a narrow operating temperature, a large
tolerance on the capacitance, and lose up to 20% of
the rated capacitance over 10,000 hours. Rather,
select capacitors with a Class I dielectric. C0G (also
known as NP0), for example, has a tight tolerance
less than ±30ppm/°C and is very stable over time.
Should Class II capacitors be chosen because of the
size constraints, select an X7R or X5R dielectric to
minimize the variations of the capacitor’s critical
characteristics.
The resistors used in the circuits to drive the input
and reference should be kept as low as possible to
prevent excess thermal noise from degrading the
system performance.
The digital outputs from the device should always be
buffered. This will have a number of benefits: it
reduces the loading of the internal digital buffers,
which decreases noise generated within the device,
and it also reduces device power consumption.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Interfacing the ADS1601 to the TMS320 DSP
family.
Since the ADS1601 communicates with the host via a
serial interface, the most suitable method to connect
to any of the TMS320 DSPs is via the multi-channel
buffered serial port (McBSP). A typical connection to
the TMS320 DSP is shown in Figure 51.
22
The sequence begins with a one-time synchronization
of the serial port by the microprocessor. The
ADS1601 recognizes the SYNC signal if it is high for
at least one CLK period. Transfers are initiated by the
ADS1601 after the SYNC signal is de-asserted by the
microprocessor.
The FSO signal from the ADS1601 indicates that
data is available to be read, and is connected to the
frame sync receive (FSR) pin of the DSP. The clock
receiver (CLKR) is derived directly from the ADS1601
serial
clock
output
to
ensure
continued
synchronization of data with the clock.
