DESCRIPTION
The ADS7279 is a low-power, 14-bit, 1MSPS
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a unipolar
input. The device includes a 14-bit, capacitor-based
successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with
inherent sample-and-hold.
The ADS7280 is based on the same core and
includes a 2-to-1 input MUX with a programmable
TAG bit output option. Both the ADS7279 and
ADS7280 offer a high-speed, wide voltage serial
interface, and are capable of daisy-chain mode
operation when multiple converters are used.
These converters are available in 4 × 4 QFN and
TSSOP-16 packages, and are fully specified for
operation over the industrial –40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS7279 and ADS7280 are two high-speed, low-power, successive approximation register (SAR)
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that use an external reference. The architecture of each device is based on a
charge redistribution model that inherently includes a sample-and-hold function.
These devices have an internal clock that runs the conversion; however, these ADCs can also be programmed to
convert data based on an external serial clock, SCLK.
The ADS7279 has one analog input. The analog input is provided to two input pins: +IN and –IN. When a
conversion is initiated, the differential input on these pins is sampled on the internal capacitor array. While a
conversion is in progress, both +IN and –IN inputs are disconnected from any internal function.
The ADS7280 has two inputs. Both inputs share the same common pin, COM. The negative input is the same as
the –IN pin for the ADS7279. The ADS7280 can be programmed to select a channel manually, or it can be
programmed into the auto channel select mode to sweep between channel 0 and channel 1 automatically.
Throughout this document, the term ADS7279/80 refers to both devices, unless specifically noted otherwise.
ANALOG INPUT
When the converter enters the hold mode, the voltage difference between the +IN and –IN inputs is captured on
the internal capacitor array. The voltage on the –IN input is limited between AGND – 0.2V and AGND + 0.2V,
allowing the input to reject small signals that are common to both the +IN and –IN inputs. The +IN input has a
range of –0.2V to (VREF + 0.2V). The input span [(+IN) – (–IN)] is limited to 0V to VREF.
The (peak) input current through the analog inputs depends upon a number of factors: sample rate, input
voltage, and source impedance. The current into the ADS7279/80 charges the internal capacitor array during the
sample period. After this capacitance has been fully charged, there is no further input current. The source of the
analog input voltage must be able to charge the input capacitance (45pF) to a 14-bit settling level within the
minimum acquisition time (120ns). When the converter goes into hold mode, the input impedance is greater than
1GΩ.
Care must be taken regarding the absolute analog input voltage. To maintain converter linearity, the +IN and –IN
inputs and the span [(+IN) – (–IN)] should be within the limits specified. Beyond these ranges, converter linearity
may not meet specifications. To minimize noise, low bandwidth input signals with low-pass filters should be used.
Care should be taken to ensure that the output impedance of the sources driving the +IN and –IN inputs are
matched. If this input matching is not observed, the two inputs could have different settling times. This difference
may result in an offset error, gain error, and linearity errors that change with temperature and input voltage.

Driver Amplifier Choice
The analog input to the converter must be driven with a low-noise operational amplifier such as the THS4031 or
OPA365. An RC filter is recommended at the input pins to low-pass filter the noise from the source. Two 20Ω
resistors and a 470pF capacitor are recommended. The input to the converter is a unipolar input voltage in the
range of 0V to VREF. The minimum –3dB bandwidth of the driving operational amplifier can be calculated as:
f3db = (ln(2) × (n+1))/(2π × tACQ)
where n is equal to 14, the resolution of the ADC (in the case of the ADS7279/80). When tACQ = 120ns (minimum
acquisition time), the minimum bandwidth of the driving amplifier is 13.8MHz. The bandwidth can be relaxed if
the acquisition time is increased by the application. Figure 54 shows the THS4031 used in the source follower
configuration to drive the converter in a typical input drive configuration. For the ADS7280, a series resistor of 0Ω
should be used on the COM input (or no resistor at all).
Bipolar to Unipolar Driver
In systems where the input is bipolar, the THS4031 can be used in an inverting configuration with an additional
dc bias applied to its positive input to keep the input to the ADS7279/80 within the rated operating voltage range.
This configuration is also recommended when the ADS7279/80 is used in signal processing applications where
good SNR and THD performance are required. The dc bias can be derived from the REF5025 or the REF5040
reference voltage ICs. The input configuration shown in Figure 55 is capable of delivering better than 85dB SNR
and –100dB THD at an input frequency of 10kHz. If bandpass filters are used to filter the input, care should be
taken to ensure that the signal swing at the input of the bandpass filter is small, in order to keep the distortion
introduced by the filter minimal. In this case, the gain of the circuit shown in Figure 55 can be increased to keep
the input to the ADS7279/80 large in order to maintain a high SNR of the system. Note that the gain of the
system from the positive input to the output of the THS4031 in such a configuration is a function of the ac signal
gain. A resistor divider can be used to scale the output of the REF5025 or REF5040 to reduce the voltage at the
dc input to the THS4031 to maintain the voltage at the converter input within its rated operating range.

REFERENCE
The ADS7279/80 must operate with an external reference with a range from 0.3V to 5V. A clean, low-noise,
well-decoupled reference voltage on the REF+ pin is required to ensure good converter performance. A
low-noise bandgap reference such as the REF5040 can be used to drive this pin. A 22µF ceramic decoupling
capacitor is required between the REF+ and REF– pins of the converter. These capacitors should be placed as
close as possible to the device pins. REF– should be connected with an own via to the analog ground plane with
the shortest possible distance. A series resistor between the reference and the REF50xx is neither required
(because the REF50xx is capable of driving a 22µF capacitor while maintaining stability) nor recommended (as a
result of additional nonlinearity); see also Figure 68.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The ADS7279/80 has an oscillator that is used as an internal clock, which controls the conversion rate. The
frequency of this clock is 21MHz (minimum). The oscillator is always on, unless the device is in the deep
power-down state or the device is programmed for using SCLK as the conversion clock (CCLK). The minimum
acquisition (sampling) time takes 3 CCLKs (equivalent to 143ns at 21MHz) and the conversion time takes 18
conversion clocks (CCLK) or approximately 857ns at 21MHz to complete one conversion.
The conversion can also be programmed to run based on an external serial clock, SCLK. This option allows the
designer to fully synchronize the converter with the system. The serial clock SCLK is first reduced to 1/2 of its
frequency before it is used as the conversion clock (CCLK). For example, with a 42MHz SCLK, this reduction
provides a 21MHz clock for conversions. If it is desired to start a conversion at a specific rising edge of SCLK
when the external SCLK is programmed as the source of the conversion clock (and manual conversion start is
selected), the setup time between CONVST and that rising SCLK edge should be observed. This configuration
ensures that the conversion is complete in 18 CCLKs (or 36 SCLKs). The minimum setup time is 20ns to ensure
synchronization between CONVST and SCLK. In many cases, the conversion can start one SCLK period (or
CCLK) later, which results in a conversion length of 19 CCLKs (or 37 SCLKs). The 20ns setup time is not
required if the synchronization is not critical to the application.
The duty cycle of SCLK is not critical as long as it meets the minimum high and low time requirements of 8ns.
The ADS7279/80 is designed for high-speed applications; therefore, a higher serial clock (SCLK) must be
supplied to be able to sustain the high throughput with the serial interface. As a result, the clock period of SCLK
must be at most 1µs (when used as the conversion clock, CCLK). The minimum clock frequency is also
governed by the parasitic leakage of the capacitive digital-to-analog (CDAC) capacitors internal to the
ADS7279/80.

Auto Channel Select Mode
Channel selection can also be done automatically if auto channel select mode is enabled. This mode is the
default channel select mode. The dual channel converter, ADS7280, has a built-in 2-to-1 MUX. If the device is
programmed for auto channel select mode, then signals from channel 0 and channel 1 are acquired with a fixed
order. Channel 0 is accessed first in the next cycle after the command cycle that configured CFR_D11 to '1' for
auto channel select mode. This automatic access stops the first cycle after the command cycle that sets
CFR_D11 to '0'.
Start of a Conversion
The end of sampling instance (EOS) or acquisition is the same as the start of a conversion. This event is initiated
by bringing the CONVST pin low for a minimum of 40ns. After the minimum requirement has been met, the
CONVST pin can be brought high. CONVST acts independently of FS/CS so it is possible to use one common
CONVST for applications that require a simultaneous sample/hold with multiple converters. The ADS7279/80
switches from sample to hold mode on the falling edge of the CONVST signal. The ADS7279/80 requires 18
conversion clock (CCLK) edges to complete a conversion. The conversion time is equivalent to 857ns with a
21MHz internal clock. The minimum time between two consecutive CONVST signals is 21 CCLKs.
A conversion can also be initiated without using CONVST if auto-trigger mode is used (CFR_D9 = 0). When the
converter is configured as an auto trigger, the next conversion automatically starts three conversion clocks
(CCLK) after the end of a conversion. These three conversion clocks are used as the acquisition time. In this
case, the time to complete one acquisition and conversion cycle is 21 CCLKs. Table 1 summarizes the different
conversion modes.

Status Output EOC/INT
When the status pin is programmed as EOC and the polarity is set as active low, the pin works in the following
manner: The EOC output goes low immediately after CONVST goes low when the manual trigger is
programmed. EOC stays low throughout the conversion process and returns high when the conversion ends.
The EOC output goes low for three conversion clocks after the previous rising edge of EOC, if auto trigger is
programmed.
This status pin is programmable. It can be used as an EOC output (CFR_D[7:6] = 1, 1) where the low time is
equal to the conversion time. This status pin can also be used as INT (CFR_D[7:6] = 1, 0), which is set low as
the end of a conversion is brought high (cleared) by the next read cycle. The polarity of this pin, used as either
function (that is, EOC or INT), is programmable through CFR_D7.

Power-Down Modes
The ADS7279/80 has a comprehensive, built-in power-down feature. There are three power-down modes: Deep
power-down mode, Nap power-down mode, and Auto nap power-down mode. All three power-down modes are
enabled by setting the related CFR bits. The first two power-down modes are activated when enabled. A wakeup
command, 1011b, resumes device operation from a power-down mode. Auto nap power-down mode works
slightly differently. When the converter is enabled in Auto nap power-down mode, an end of conversion instance
(EOC) puts the device into auto nap power-down. The beginning of sampling resumes converter operation. The
contents of the configuration register are not affected by any of the power-down modes. Any ongoing conversion
when nap or deep power-down is activated is aborted.

Deep Power-Down Mode
Deep power-down mode can be activated by writing to configuration register bit CFR_D2. When the device is in
Deep power-down mode, all blocks except the interface are in power-down. The external SCLK is internally
blocked. Also, all bias currents and the internal oscillator are turned off. In this mode, supply current falls from
5.7mA to 4nA within 100ns. The wake-up time after a deep power-down is 1µs. When bit D2 in the configuration
register is set to '0', the device is in Deep power-down. Setting this bit to '1' or sending a wake-up command
resumes the converter operation from the Deep power-down state.
Nap Mode
In Nap mode, the ADS7279/80 turns off biasing of the comparator and the mid-voltage buffer. In this mode,
supply current falls from 5.7mA in normal mode to about 0.3mA within 200ns after the configuration cycle. The
wake-up (resume) time from Nap power-down mode is 3 CCLKs (143ns with a 21MHz conversion clock). As
soon as the CFR_D3 bit in the control register is set to '0', the device goes into Nap power-down mode,
regardless of the conversion state. Setting this bit to '1' or sending a wake-up command resumes converter
operation from the Nap power-down state.

powered down and the method used to wake up the device. Configuration register bit D4 is only used to
enable/disable Auto nap mode. If Auto nap mode is enabled, the device turns off the biasing after the conversion
has finished; that is, the end of conversion activates Auto nap power-down mode. Supply current falls from
5.7mA in normal mode to about 0.3mA within 200ns. A CONVST command resumes the device and turns on the
biasing on again in 3 CCLKs (143ns with a 21MHz conversion clock). The device can also be woken up by
disabling auto nap mode when bit D4 of the configuration register is set to '1'. Any channel select command
0XXXb, a wake-up command, or the set default mode command 1111b can also wake up the device from Auto
nap power-down. Table 2 compares the various power-down modes.
NOTE:
1. This wake-up command is the word 1011b in the command word. This command sets bits
D2 and D3 to '1' in the configuration register, but not D4. A wake-up command removes
the device from any of these power-down states, Deep/Nap/Auto nap power-down.
2. Wake-up time is defined as the time between when the host processor tries to wake up the
converter and when a conversion start can occur.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
The serial clock is designed to accommodate the latest high-speed processors with an SCLK frequency up to
50MHz. Each cycle starts with the falling edge of FS/CS. The internal data register content that is made available
to the output register at the EOC (presented on the SDO output pin at the falling edge of FS/CS) is the MSB.
Output data are valid at the falling edge of SCLK with a tD1 delay so that the host processor can read it at the
falling edge. Serial data input is also read at the falling edge of SCLK.
The complete serial I/O cycle starts with the first falling edge of SCLK after the falling edge of FS/CS and ends
16 falling edges of SCLK later (see NOTE). The serial interface is very flexible. It works with CPOL = 0 , CPHA =
1 or CPOL = 1, CPHA = 0. This flexibility means the falling edge of FS/CS may fall while SCLK is high. The
same relaxation applies to the rising edge of FS/CS where SCLK may be high or low as long as the last SCLK
falling edge occurs before the rising edge of FS/CS.
NOTE:
There are cases where a cycle is 4 SCLKs or up to 24 SCLKs depending on the read
mode combination. See Table 3 and Table 6 for details.
Internal Register
The internal register consists of two parts: 4 bits for the command register (CMR) and 12 bits for configuration
data register (CFR). Table 3 summarizes the command set defined by the CMR.

(1) When SDO is not in 3-state mode (FS/CS low), the bits from SDO are always part of a conversion result (depending on how many
SCLKs are supplied).
(2) These two commands apply to the ADS7280 only.
WRITING TO THE CONVERTER
There are two different types of writes to the register: a 4-bit write to the CMR and a full 16-bit write to the CMR
plus CFR. The command set is listed in Table 3. A simple command requires only 4 SCLKs and the write takes
effect at the fourth falling edge of SCLK. A 16-bit write or read takes at least 16 SCLKs (see Table 6 for
exceptions that require more than 16 SCLKs).

Configuring the Converter and Default Mode
The converter can be configured with command 1110b (write to the CFR) or command 1111b (default mode). A
write to the CFR requires a 4-bit command followed by 12 bits of data. A 4-bit command takes effect at the fourth
falling edge of SCLK. A CFR write takes effect at the 16th falling edge of SCLK.
A default mode command can be achieved by simply tying SDI to +VBD. As soon as the chip is selected, at least
four '1's are clocked in by SCLK. The default value of the CFR is loaded into the CFR at the fourth falling edge of
SCLK.
CFR default values are all 1s (except for CFR_D1 on the ADS7279; this bit is ignored by the device and is
always read as a '0'). The same default values apply for the CFR after a power-on reset (POR) and software
reset.
READING THE CONFIGURATION REGISTER
The host processor can read back the value programmed in the CFR by issuing command 1100b. The timing is
similar to reading a conversion result, except that CONVST is not used and there is no activity on the EOC/INT
pin. The CFR value read back contains the first four MSBs of conversion data plus valid 12-bit CFR contents.

READING CONVERSION RESULT
The conversion result is available to the input of the output data register (ODR) at EOC and presented to the
output of the output register at the next falling edge of CS or FS. The host processor can then shift the data out
via the SDO pin any time except during the quiet zone. This quiet zone is 20ns before and 20ns after the end of
sampling (EOS) period. In the quiet zone the FS/CS should be high, to avoid performance loss when switching
from sampling-mode to hold-mode. End of sampling (EOS) is defined as the falling edge of CONVST when
manual trigger is used or the end of the third conversion clock (CCLK) after EOC if auto trigger is used.
The falling edge of FS/CS should not be placed at the precise moment of the end of a conversion; otherwise, the
data may be corrupt. There must be a minimum of at least one conversion clock (CCLK) delay at the end of a
conversion. If FS/CS is placed before the end of a conversion, the previous conversion result is read. If FS/CS is
placed after the end of a conversion, the current conversion result is read.
The conversion result is 14-bit data in straight binary format as shown in Table 5. Generally, 14 SCLKs are
necessary, but there are exceptions where more than 14 SCLKS are required (see Table 6). Data output from
the serial output (SDO) is left-adjusted, MSB first. The 14-bit conversion result is followed by '00', the TAG bit (if
enabled), and additional zeros. SDO remains low until FS/CS is brought high again.

SDO is active when FS/CS is low. The rising edge of FS/CS 3-states the SDO output.
NOTE:
Whenever SDO is not in 3-state mode (that is, when FS/CS is low), a portion of the
conversion result is output at the SDO pin. The number of bits depends on how many
SCLKs are supplied. For example, a manual select channel command cycle requires
4 SCLKs; therefore, 4MSBs of the conversion result are output at SDO. The exception
is that SDO outputs all 1s during the cycle immediately after any reset (POR or
software reset).
If SCLK is used as the conversion clock (CCLK) and a continuous SCLK is used, it is not possible to clock out all
14 SDO bits during the sampling time (6 SCLKs) because of the quiet zone requirement. In this case, it is better
to read the conversion result during the conversion time (36 SCLKs or 48 SCLKs in Auto nap mode).
TAG Mode
The ADS7280 includes a feature, TAG, that can be used as a tag to indicate which channel sourced the
converted result. An address bit is added after the LSB read out from SDO that indicates which channel the
result came from if TAG mode is enabled. This address bit is '0' for channel 0 and '1' for channel 1. The
converter requires more than the 16 SCLKs that are required for a 4-bit command plus 12-bit CFR or 14 data bits
followed by '00' because of the additional TAG bit.
Chain Mode
The ADS7279/80 can operate as a single converter or in a system with multiple converters. System designers
can take advantage of the simple, high-speed, SPI-compatible serial interface by cascading the devices in a
daisy-chain when multiple converters are used. A bit in the CFR is used to reconfigure the EOC/INT status pin as
a secondary serial data input, chain data input (CDI), for the conversion result from an upstream converter. This
configuration is chain mode operation. A typical connection of three converters is shown in Figure 61.

Figure 61. Multiple Converters Connected Using Chain Mode
When multiple converters are used in daisy-chain mode, the first converter is configured in regular mode while
the other converters are configured in chain mode. When a converter is configured in chain mode, the CDI input
data go straight to the output register; therefore, the serial input data passes through the converter with a 16
SCLK (if the TAG feature is disabled) or a 24 SCLK delay, as long as CS is active. Figure 62 shows a detailed
timing diagram. In this timing, the conversions in each converter are performed simultaneously.

Care must be given to handle the multiple CS signals when the converters operate in daisy-chain mode. The
different chip select signals must be low for the entire data transfer (in this example, 48 bits for three converters).
The first 16-bit word after the falling chip select is always the data from the chip that received the chip select
signal.

Case 1: If chip select is not toggled (CS stays low), the next 16 bits are data from the upstream converter, and so
on. This configuration is shown in Figure 62. If there is no upstream converter in the chain, as with converter #1
in the example, the same data from the converter are going to be shown repeatedly.
Case 2: If the chip select is toggled during a chain mode data transfer cycle, as illustrated in Figure 63, the same
data from the converter are read out again and again in all three discrete 16-bit cycles. This result is not a
desired outcome.

SCLK skew between converters and data path delay through the converters configured in chain mode can affect
the maximum frequency of SCLK. The delay can also be affected by supply voltage and loading. It may be
necessary to slow down the SCLK when the devices are configured in chain mode. Figure 65 shows a typical
delay process through multiple converters linked in daisy-chain mode.

RESET
The converter has two reset mechanisms: a power-on reset (POR) and a software reset using CFR_D0. These
two mechanisms are NOR-ed internally. When a reset (software or POR) is issued, all register data are set to the
default values (all 1s) and the SDO output (during the cycle immediately after reset) is set to all 1s. The state
machine is reset to the power-on state. Figure 66 illustrates the digital output under a reset condition.

When the device is powered up, the POR sets the device to default mode when AVDD reaches 1.5V. When the
device is powered down, the POR circuit requires AVDD to remain below 125mV for at least 350ms to ensure
proper discharging of internal capacitors and to correct the behavior of the ADC when powered up again. If
AVDD drops below 400mV but remains above 125mV, the internal POR capacitor does not discharge fully and
the device requires a software reset to perform correctly after the recovery of AVDD (this condition is shown as
the undefined zone in Figure 67).
