●
The ADS7817 is a 12-bit, 200kHz sampling Analog-toDigital (A/D) converter that features a high impedance fully
differential analog input. The reference voltage can be varied from 100mV to 2.5V, with a corresponding inputreferred resolution between 49µV and 1.22mV.
The differential input, low power, automatic power down,
and small size make the ADS7817 ideal for direct connection to transducers in battery operated systems, remote data
acquisition, or multi-channel applications. The ADS7817 is
available in a plastic mini-DIP-8, an SO-8, or an MSOP-8
package.

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.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above these ratings may permanently damage the device.
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
2 • VREF
peak-to-peak
The ADS7817 is a classic successive approximation register
(SAR) analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The architecture is
based on capacitive redistribution which inherently includes
a sample/hold function. The converter is fabricated on a 0.6µ
CMOS process. The architecture and process allow the
ADS7817 to acquire and convert an analog signal at up to
200,000 conversions per second while consuming very little
power.
The external clock can vary between 10kHz (625Hz throughput) and 3.2MHz (200kHz throughput). The duty cycle of
the clock is essentially unimportant as long as the minimum
high and low times are at least 150ns. The minimum clock
frequency is set by the leakage on the capacitors internal to
the ADS7817.
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 inputs are disconnected from
any internal function.
The digital result of the conversion is clocked out by the
DCLOCK input and is provided serially, most significant bit
first, on the DOUT pin. The digital data that is provided on the
DOUT pin is for the conversion currently in progress—there
is no pipeline delay. It is possible to continue to clock the
ADS7817 after the conversion is complete and to obtain the
serial data least significant bit first. See the Digital Interface
section for more information.

Common Voltage Range (V)
The ADS7817 requires an external reference, an external
clock, and a single +5V power source. The external reference can be any voltage between 100mV and 2.5V. The
value of the reference voltage directly sets the range of the
analog input. The reference input current depends on the
conversion rate of the ADS7817.

ANALOG INPUT
When the input is differential, the amplitude of the input is the
difference between the +In and –In input, or: +In – (–In). A
voltage or signal is common to both of these inputs. The peakto-peak amplitude of each input is VREF about this common
voltage. However, since the inputs are 180° out of phase, the
peak-to-peak amplitude of the difference voltage is 2 • VREF.
The value of VREF also determines the range of the voltage
that may be common to both inputs (see Figure 3).

Common Voltage Range (V)
The analog input is bipolar and fully differential. There are
two general methods of driving the analog input of the
ADS7817: single-ended or differential (see Figure 1). When
the input is single-ended, the –In input is held at a fixed
voltage. The +In input swings around the same voltage and
the peak-to-peak amplitude is 2 • VREF. The value of VREF
determines the range over which the common voltage may
vary (see Figure 2).

ADS7817
SBAS066A
In each case, care should be taken to ensure that the output
impedance of the sources driving the +In and –In inputs are
matched. If this is not observed, the two inputs could have
different settling times. This may result in offset error, gain
error, and linearity error which change with both temperature
and input voltage. If the impedance cannot be matched, the
errors can be lessened by giving the ADS7817 more acquisition time.
The input current on the analog inputs depends on a number
of factors: sample rate, input voltage, and source impedance.
Essentially, the current into the ADS7817 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 (15pF) to a 12-bit settling
level within 1.5 clock cycles. When the converter goes into
the hold mode or while it is in the power down mode, the
input impedance is greater than 1GΩ.
Care must be taken regarding the absolute analog input
voltage. The +In input should always remain within the
range of GND –300mV to VCC +300mV. The –In input
should always remain within the range of GND –300mV to
4V. Outside of these ranges, the converter’s linearity may
not meet specifications.
With lower reference voltages, extra care should be taken to
provide a clean layout including adequate bypassing, a clean
power supply, a low-noise reference, and a low-noise input
signal. Because the LSB size is lower, the converter will also
be more sensitive to external sources of error such as nearby
digital signals and electromagnetic interference.
The current that must be provided by the external reference
will depend on the conversion result. The current is lowest
at negative full-scale (800h) and is typically 15µA at a
200kHz conversion rate (25°C). For the same conditions, the
current will increase as the analog input approaches positive
full scale, reaching 25µA at an output result of 7FFh. The
current does not increase linearly, but depends, to some
degree, on the bit pattern of the digital output.
The reference current diminishes directly with both conversion rate and reference voltage. As the current from the
reference is drawn on each bit decision, clocking the converter more quickly during a given conversion period will
not reduce the overall current drain from the reference. The
reference current changes only slightly with temperature.
See the curves, “Reference Current vs Sample Rate” and
“Reference Current vs Temperature” in the Typical Performance Curves section for more information.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
REFERENCE INPUT
The external reference sets the analog input range. The
ADS7817 will operate with a reference in the range of 100mV
to 2.5V. There are several important implications of this.
As the reference voltage is reduced, the analog voltage
weight of each digital output code is reduced. This is often
referred to as the LSB (least significant bit) size and is equal
to two times the reference voltage divided by 4096. This
means that any offset or gain error inherent in the A/D
converter will appear to increase, in terms of LSB size, as
the reference voltage is reduced. The typical performance
curves of “Change in Offset vs Reference Voltage” and
“Change in Gain vs Reference Voltage” provide more information.
The noise inherent in the converter will also appear to
increase with lower LSB size. With a 2.5V reference, the
internal noise of the converter typically contributes only
0.52 LSB peak-to-peak of potential error to the output code.
When the external reference is 100mV, the potential error
contribution from the internal noise will be 25 times larger—
13 LSBs. The errors due to the internal noise are gaussian in
nature and can be reduced by averaging consecutive conversion results.
For more information regarding noise, consult the typical
performance curves “Effective Number of Bits vs Reference
Voltage” and “Peak-to-Peak Noise vs Reference Voltage.”
Note that the effective number of bits (ENOB) figure is
calculated based on the converter’s signal-to-(noise + distortion) with a 1kHz, 0dB input signal. SINAD is related to
ENOB as follows: SINAD = 6.02 • ENOB + 1.76.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADS7817 communicates with microprocessors and other
digital systems via a synchronous 3-wire serial interface as
shown in Figure 4 and Table I. The DCLOCK signal
synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being transmitted on the falling edge of DCLOCK. Most receiving systems
will capture the bitstream on the rising edge of DCLOCK.
However, if the minimum hold time for DOUT is acceptable,
the system can use the falling edge of DCLOCK to capture
each bit.

FIGURE 4. ADS7817 Basic Timing Diagrams.
A falling CS signal initiates the conversion and data transfer.
The first 1.5 to 2.0 clock periods of the conversion cycle are
used to sample the input signal. After the second falling
DCLOCK edge, DOUT is enabled and will output a LOW
value for one clock period. For the next 12 DCLOCK
periods, DOUT will output the conversion result, most significant bit first. After the least significant bit (B0) has been
output, subsequent clocks will repeat the output data but in
a least significant bit first format.
After the most significant bit (B11) has been repeated, DOUT
will tri-state. Subsequent clocks will have no effect on the
converter. A new conversion is initiated only when CS has
been taken HIGH and returned LOW.

POWER DISSIPATION
The architecture of the converter, the semiconductor fabrication process, and a careful design allow the ADS7817 to
convert at up to a 200kHz rate while requiring very little
power. Still, for the absolute lowest power dissipation, there
are several things to keep in mind.
The power dissipation of the ADS7817 scales directly with
conversion rate. The first step to achieving the lowest power
dissipation is to find the lowest conversion rate that will
satisfy the requirements of the system.
In addition, the ADS7817 is in power down mode under two
conditions: when the conversion is complete and whenever
CS is HIGH (see Figure 1). Ideally, each conversion should
occur as quickly as possible, preferably, at a 3.2MHz clock
rate. This way, the converter spends the longest possible
time in the power down mode. This is very important as the
converter not only uses power on each DCLOCK transition
(as is typical for digital CMOS components) but also uses
some current for the analog circuitry, such as the comparator. The analog section dissipates power continuously, until
the power down mode is entered.
Figure 6 shows the current consumption of the ADS7817
versus sample rate. For this graph, the converter is clocked
at 3.2MHz regardless of the sample rate—CS is HIGH for
the remaining sample period. Figure 7 also shows current
consumption versus sample rate. However, in this case, the
DCLOCK period is 1/16th of the sample period—CS is
HIGH for one DCLOCK cycle out of every 16.

There is an important distinction between the power down
mode that is entered after a conversion is complete and the
full power down mode which is enabled when CS is HIGH.
While both power down the analog section, the digital section
is powered down only when CS is HIGH. Thus, if CS is left
LOW at the end of a conversion and the converter is continually clocked, the power consumption will not be as low as
when CS is HIGH. See Figure 8 for more information.
By lowering the reference voltage, the ADS7817 requires
less current to completely charge its internal capacitors on
both the analog input and the reference input. This reduction
in power dissipation should be weighed carefully against the
resulting increase in noise, offset, and gain error as outlined
in the Reference section.

FIGURE 8. Shutdown Current is Considerably Lower with

SHORT CYCLING
Another way of saving power is to utilize the CS signal to
short cycle the conversion. Because the ADS7817 places the
latest data bit on the DOUT line as it is generated, the
converter can easily be short cycled. This term means that
the conversion can be terminated at any time. For example,
if only 8-bits of the conversion result are needed, then the
conversion can be terminated (by pulling CS HIGH) after
the 8th bit has been clocked out.
This technique can be used to lower the power dissipation in
those applications where an analog signal is being monitored
until some condition becomes true. For example, if the
signal is outside a predetermined range, the full 12-bit
conversion result may not be needed. If so, the conversion
can be terminated after the first n-bits, where n might be as
low as 3 or 4. This results in lower power dissipation in both
the converter and the rest of the system, as they spend more
time in the power down mode.
12
LAYOUT
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the
physical layout of the ADS7817 circuitry. This is particularly
true if the reference voltage is low and/or the conversion rate
is high. At 200kHz conversion rate, the ADS7817 makes a bit
decision every 312ns. That is, for each subsequent bit decision, the digital output must be updated with the results of the
last bit decision, the capacitor array appropriately switched
and charged, and the input to the comparator settled to a
12-bit level all within one clock cycle.
The basic SAR architecture is sensitive to spikes on the
power supply, reference, and ground connections that occur
just prior to latching the comparator output. Thus, during
any single conversion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are
n “windows” in which large external transient voltages can
easily affect the conversion result. Such spikes might originate from switching power supplies, digital logic, and high
power devices, to name a few. This particular source of error
can be very difficult to track down if the glitch is almost
synchronous to the converter’s DCLOCK signal—as the
phase difference between the two changes with time and
temperature, causing sporadic misoperation.
With this in mind, power to the ADS7817 should be clean
and well bypassed. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor should
be placed as close to the ADS7817 package as possible. In
addition, a 1 to 10µF capacitor and a 10Ω series resistor may
be used to lowpass filter a noisy supply.
The reference should be similarly bypassed with a 0.1µF
capacitor. Again, a series resistor and large capacitor can be
used to lowpass filter the reference voltage. If the reference
voltage originates from an op amp, be careful that the opamp can drive the bypass capacitor without oscillation (the
series resistor can help in this case). Keep in mind that while
the ADS7817 draws very little current from the reference on
average, there are higher instantaneous current demands
placed on the external reference circuitry.
Also, keep in mind that the ADS7817 offers no inherent
rejection of noise or voltage variation in regards to the
reference input. This is of particular concern when the
reference voltage is derived from the power supply. Any
noise and ripple from the supply that is not rejected by the
external reference circuitry will appear directly in the digital
results. While high frequency noise can be filtered out as
described in the previous paragraph, voltage variation due to
line frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) can be difficult to remove.
The GND pin on the ADS7817 should be placed on a clean
ground point. In many cases, this will be the “analog”
ground. Avoid connecting the GND pin too close to the
grounding point for a microprocessor, microcontroller, or
digital signal processor. If needed, run a ground trace directly from the converter to the power supply connection
point. The ideal layout will include an analog ground plane
for the converter and associated analog circuitry.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Figures 9, 10 and 11 show some typical applications circuits
for the ADS7817. Figure 9 shows a low cost, low power
circuit for basic data acquisition. Total power dissipation in
the ADS7817 and reference circuitry is under 5mW over
temperature, power supply variations, and at a 200kHz sample
rate.
Figure 11 is a similar application that isolates the digital
outputs of the three ADS7817s instead of the analog signal
from the motor. Here, the reference voltage for the ADS7817
is 150mV, and the analog input of each ADS7817 is connected directly to the current sense resistor. By removing the
ISO130 from the signal path, a greater signal-to-noise ratio is
achieved in the sensing system. However, nine optical isolators are needed to isolate the A/D converters.
Figure 10 is a motor control application using three ISO130s
to isolate the motor from the sensing system (three ADS7817s
and a DSP56004). The ISO130 provides 10kV/µs (minimum)
isolation-mode rejection, 85kHz large signal bandwidth, and
a fixed gain of 8. The ADS7817’s reference voltage is 1.2V
and is derived from a REF1004-1.2. This gives the converter
a full-scale input range of ±1.2V. Because of the gain of 8 in
the ISO130, the current sense resistor should give a worstcase output voltage of less than ±150mV.
