DESCRIPTION
The ADS8517 is a complete low-power, single 5-V
supply, 16-bit sampling analog-to-digital (A/D)
converter.
It
contains
a
complete,
16-bit,
capacitor-based, successive approximation register
(SAR) A/D converter with sample-and-hold, clock,
reference, and data interface. The converter can be
configured for a variety of input ranges including
±10 V, 4 V, and 5 V. For most input ranges, the input
voltage can swing to 25 V or –25 V without damage
to the device.
An SPI-compatible serial interface allows data to be
synchronized to an internal or external clock. A full
parallel interface using the selectable BYTE pin is
also provided to allow the maximum system design
flexibility. The ADS8517 is specified at a 200-kHz
sampling rate over the industrial –40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

LSB means Least Significant Bit. One LSB for the ±10 V input range is 305 µV.
Typical rms noise at worst-case transitions.
Full-scale error is the worst case of –Full Scale or +Full Scale untrimmed deviation from ideal first and last code transitions, divided by
the transition voltage (not divided by the full-scale range) and includes the effect of offset error.
This is the time delay after the ADS8517 is brought out of Power-Down mode until all internal settling occurs and the analog input is
acquired to rated accuracy. A Convert command after this delay will yield accurate results.
All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale input.
Usable bandwidth defined as full-scale input frequency at which Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) degrades to 60 dB.
Recovers to specified performance after 2 x FS input overvoltage.

8
I
External/internal data select. Selects external/internal data clock for transmitting data. If high,
data is output synchronized to the clock input on DATACLK. If low, a convert command initiates
the transmission of the data from the previous conversion, along with 16-clock pulses output on
DATACLK.

DATACLK
6
18
I/O
Data clock. Either an input or an output, depending on the EXT/INT level. Output data are
synchronized to this clock. If EXT/INT is low, DATACLK transmits 16 pulses after each
conversion, and then remains low between conversions.
SDATA
19
O
Serial data output. Data are synchronized to DATACLK, with the format determined by the level
of SB/BTC. In the external clock mode, after 16 bits of data, the ADC outputs the level input on
TAG as long as CS is low and R/C is high. If EXT/INT is low, data are valid on both the rising
and falling edges of DATACLK, and between conversions SDATA stays at the level of the TAG
input when the conversion was started.
TAG
20
I
Tag input for use in the external clock mode. If EXT is high, digital data input from TAG is output
on DATA with a delay that depends on the external clock mode.
BYTE
21
I
Byte select. Selects the eight most significant bits (low) or eight least significant bits (high) on
parallel output pins.
R/C
22
I
Read/convert input. With CS low, a falling edge on R/C puts the internal sample-and-hold circuit
into the hold state and starts a conversion. With EXT/INT is low, the transmission of the data
results from the previous conversion is initiated.
CS
23
I
Chip select. Internally ORed with R/C. If R/C is low, a falling edge on CS initiates a new
conversion. If EXT/INT is low, this same falling edge will start the transmission of serial data
results from the previous conversion.
BUSY
24
O
Busy output. At the start of a conversion, BUSY goes low and stays low until the conversion is
completed and the digital outputs have been updated.
PWRD
25
I
Power-down input. If high, conversions are inhibited and power consumption is significantly
reduced. Results from the previous conversion are maintained in the output shift register.
REFD
26
I
Reference disable. REFD high shuts down the internal reference. The external reference is
required for conversions.
VANA
27
ADC core supply. Nominally +5 V. Decouple with 0.1-µF ceramic and 10-µF tantalum capacitors.
VDIG
28
I/O supply. Nominally +1.8 V.

BASIC OPERATION
PARALLEL OUTPUT
Figure 28 shows a basic circuit for operating the ADS8517 with a ±10-V input range and parallel output. Taking
R/C (pin 22) low for a minimum of 40 ns (5 µs max) initiates a conversion. BUSY (pin 24) goes low and stays low
until the conversion completes and the output register updates. If BYTE (pin 21) is low, the eight most significant
bits (MSBs) will be valid when BUSY rises; if BYTE is high, the eight least significant bits (LSBs) will be valid
when BUSY rises. Data are output in binary twos complement (BTC) format. BUSY going high can be used to
latch the data. After the first byte has been read, BYTE can be toggled, allowing the remaining byte to be read.
All convert commands are ignored while BUSY is low.
The ADS8517 begins tracking the input signal at the end of the conversion. Allowing 5 µs between convert
commands assures accurate acquisition of a new signal.

SERIAL OUTPUT
Figure 29 shows a basic circuit to operate the ADS8517 with a ±10-V input range and serial output. Taking R/C
(pin 22) low for 40 ns (5 µs max) initiates a conversion and outputs valid data from the previous conversion on
SDATA (pin 19) synchronized to 16 clock pulses output on DATACLK (pin 18). BUSY (pin 24) goes low and
stays low until the conversion completes and the serial data have been transmitted. Data are output in BTC
format, MSB first, and are valid on both the rising and falling edges of the data clock. BUSY going high can be
used to latch the data. All convert commands are ignored while BUSY is low.

STARTING A CONVERSION
The combination of CS (pin 23) and R/C (pin 22) held low for a minimum of 40 ns puts the sample-and-hold of
the ADS8517 in the hold state and starts conversion N. BUSY (pin 24) goes low and stays low until conversion N
completes and the internal output register has been updated. All new convert commands received while BUSY is
low are ignored.
The ADS8517 begins tracking the input signal at the end of the conversion. Allowing 5 µs between convert
commands assures accurate acquisition of a new signal. Refer to Table 2 and Table 3 for a summary of CS,
R/C, and BUSY states, and Figure 30 through Figure 36 for timing diagrams.

CS and R/C are internally ORed and level-triggered. It does not matter which input goes low first when initiating a
conversion. If, however, it is critical that CS or R/C initiates conversion N, be sure the less critical input is low at
least tsu2 ≥ 10 ns before the initiating input. If EXT/INT (pin 8) is low when initiating conversion N, serial data from
conversion N–1 is output on SDATA (pin 19) following the start of conversion N. See Internal Data Clock in the
Reading Data section for more information.
To reduce the number of control pins, CS can be tied low using R/C to control the read and convert modes. This
configuration has no effect when using the internal data clock in the serial output mode. However, when using an
active external data clock, the parallel and serial outputs are affected whenever R/C goes high; refer to the
Reading Data section for more information. In the internal clock mode, data are clocked out every convert cycle
regardless of the states of CS and R/C. The conversion result is available as soon as BUSY returns to high.
Therefore, data always represent the previously-completed conversion, even when read during a conversion.

READING DATA
The ADS8517 outputs serial or parallel data in straight binary (SB) or binary twos complement data output
format. If SB/BTC (pin 7) is high, the output is in SB format; if it is low, the output is in BTC format. Refer to
Table 4 for the ideal output codes. The first conversion immediately following a power-up does not produce a
valid conversion result.
The parallel output can be read without affecting the internal output registers; however, reading the data through
the serial port shifts the internal output registers one bit per data clock pulse. As a result, data can be read on the
parallel port before reading the same data on the serial port, but data cannot be read through the serial port
before reading the same data on the parallel port.

Parallel Output
To use the parallel output, tie EXT/INT (pin 8) high and DATACLK (pin 18) low. SDATA (pin 19) should be left
unconnected. The parallel output is active when R/C (pin 22) is high and CS (pin 23) is low. Any other
combination of CS and R/C 3-states the parallel output. Valid conversion data can be read in two 8-bit bytes on
D7-D0 (pins 9-13 and 15-17). When BYTE (pin 21) is low, the eight most significant bits are valid with the MSB
on D7. When BYTE is high, the eight least significant bits are valid with the LSB on D0. BYTE can be toggled to
read both bytes within one conversion cycle.
Upon initial device power-up, the parallel output contains indeterminate data.

Serial Output
Data can be clocked out with the internal data clock or an external data clock. When using the serial output, be
careful with the parallel outputs, D7-D0 (pins 9-13 and 15-17), because these pins come out of a High-Z state
whenever CS (pin 23) is low and R/C (pin 22) is high. The serial output cannot be 3-stated and is always active.
Refer to the Applications Information section for specific serial interfaces. If an external clock is used, the TAG
input can be used to daisy-chain multiple ADS8517 data pins together.
Internal Data Clock (During a Conversion)
To use the internal data clock, tie EXT/INT (pin 8) low. The combination of R/C (pin 22) and CS (pin 23) low
initiates conversion N and activates the internal data clock (typically, a 900-kHz clock rate). The ADS8517
outputs 16 bits of valid data, MSB first, from conversion N–1 on SDATA (pin 19), synchronized to 16 clock pulses
output on DATACLK (pin 18). The data are valid on both the rising and falling edges of the internal data clock.
The rising edge of BUSY (pin 24) can be used to latch the data. After the 16th clock pulse, DATACLK remains
low until the next conversion is initiated, while SDATA returns to the state of the TAG pin input sensed at the
start of transmission. Refer to Table 6 and Figure 33 for more information.

SLAS527A – SEPTEMBER 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2009 ................................................................................................................................................. www.ti.com
External Data Clock
To use an external data clock, tie EXT/INT (pin 8) high. The external data clock is not and cannot be
synchronized with the internal conversion clock; care must be taken to avoid corrupting the data. To enable the
output mode of the ADS8517, CS (pin 23) must be low and R/C (pin 22) must be high. DATACLK must be high
for 20% to 70% of the total data clock period; the clock rate can be between dc and 10 MHz. Serial data from
conversion N can be output on SDATA (pin 19) after conversion N completes or during conversion N+1.
An obvious way to simplify control of the converter is to tie CS low and use R/C to initiate conversions.
While this configuration is perfectly acceptable, there is a possible problem when using an external data clock. At
an indeterminate point from 12 µs after the start of conversion N until BUSY rises, the internal logic shifts the
results of conversion N into the output register. If CS is low, R/C high, and the external clock is high at this point,
data are lost. Consequently, with CS low, either R/C and/or DATACLK must be low during this period to avoid
losing valid data.
External Data Clock (After a Conversion)
After conversion N is completed and the output registers have been updated, BUSY (pin 24) goes high. With CS
low and R/C high, valid data from conversion N are output on SDATA (pin 19) synchronized to the external data
clock input on DATACLK (pin 18). The MSB is valid on the first falling edge and the second rising edge of the
external data clock. The LSB is valid on the 16th falling edge and 17th rising edge of the data clock. TAG (pin
20) inputs a bit of data for every external clock pulse. The first bit input on TAG is valid on SDATA on the 17th
falling edge and the 18th rising edge of DATACLK; the second input bit is valid on the 18th falling edge and the
19th rising edge, etc. With a continuous data clock, TAG data is output on SDATA until the internal output
registers are updated with the results from the next conversion. Refer to Table 6 and Figure 35 for more
information.
External Data Clock (During a Conversion)
After conversion N has been initiated, valid data from conversion N–1 can be read and are valid up to 2.2 µs
after the start of conversion N. Do not attempt to clock out data from 2.2 µs after the start of conversion N until
BUSY (pin 24) rises; doing so results in data loss.
NOTE:
For the best possible performance when using an external data clock, data should not
be clocked out during a conversion.
The switching noise of the asynchronous data clock can cause digital feedthrough, degrading converter
performance. Refer to Table 6 and Figure 36 for more information.

TAG FEATURE
The TAG feature allows data from multiple ADS8517 converters to be read on a single serial line. The converters
are cascaded together using the DATA pins as outputs and the TAG pins as inputs, as illustrated in Figure 37.
The DATA pin of the last converter drives the processor serial data input. Data are then shifted through each
converter, synchronous to the externally supplied data clock, onto the serial data line. The internal clock cannot
be used for this configuration.
The preferred timing uses the discontinuous, external data clock during the sampling period. Data must be read
during the sampling period because there is not sufficient time to read data from multiple converters during a
conversion period without violating the td11 constraint (see the External Data Clock section). The sampling period
must be sufficiently long enough to allow all data words to be read before starting a new conversion.
Note that in Figure 37, the state of the DATA pin at the end of a READ cycle reflects the state of the TAG pin at
the start of the cycle for each converter. The ADS8517 works the same way when it is running in external or
internal clock mode. That is, the state of the TAG pin is shown on the DATA pin at the 17th clock after all 16 bits
have shifted out. However, it is only practical to use the TAG feature with the external clock mode when multiple
ADS8517s are daisy-chained, so that they are running at the same clock speed. For example, when two
converters (ADS8517A and ADS8517B) are cascaded together, the 17th external clock cycle brings the MSB
data of ADS8517A onto the DATA pin of ADS8517B.

ANALOG INPUTS
The ADS8517 offers three analog input ranges, as shown in Table 1. The offset specification is factory-calibrated
with internal resistors. The gain specification is factory-calibrated with 0.1%, 0.25-W external resistors, as shown
in Figure 38 and Figure 39. The external resistors can be omitted if a larger gain error is acceptable or if using
software calibration. The hardware trim circuitry shown in Figure 38 and Figure 39 can reduce the error to zero.

Analog input pins R1IN and R2IN have ±25-V overvoltage protection. The input signal must be referenced to
AGND1. This referencing minimizes ground-loop problems typical to analog designs. The analog input should be
driven by a low-impedance source. A typical driving circuit using the OPA627 or OPA132 is shown in Figure 40.

REFERENCE
The ADS8517 can operate with the internal 2.5 V reference or an external reference. An external reference
connected to pin 5 (REF) bypasses the internal reference. The external reference must drive the 6-kΩ resistor
that separates pin 5 from the internal reference (see the front page diagram). The load varies with the difference
between the internal and external reference voltages. The internal reference is approximately 2.5 V (range is
from 2.48 V to 2.52 V). The external reference voltage can vary from 2.3 V to 2.7 V. The reference, whether
internal or external, is buffered internally with the output on pin 4 (CAP). Figure 41 shows characteristic
impedances at the input and output of the buffer with all combinations of power-down and reference power-down.
The reference voltage determines the size of the least significant bit (LSB). The larger reference voltages
produce a larger LSB, which can improve SNR. Smaller reference voltages can degrade SNR.

Figure 41. Characteristic Impedances of the Internal Buffer
The ADS8517 is factory-tested with 2.2 µF capacitors connected to pin 4 (CAP) and pin 5 (REF). Each capacitor
should be placed as close as possible to the pin. The capacitor on pin 5 band-limits the internal reference noise.
A smaller capacitor can be used, but it may degrade SNR and SINAD. The capacitor on pin 4 stabilizes the
reference buffer and provides switching charge to the CDAC during conversion. Capacitors smaller than 1 µF
may cause the buffer to become unstable and not hold sufficient charge for the CDAC. The devices are tested to
specifications with 2.2 µF, making larger capacitors unnecessary (Figure 42 shows how capacitor values larger
than 2.2 µF have little effect on improving performance). The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of these
compensation capacitors is also critical; keep the total ESR under 3 Ω. See the Typical Characteristics section
concerning how ESR affects performance.

Figure 42. Power-Down to Power-Up Time versus Capacitor Value on CAP
Neither the internal reference nor the buffer should be used to drive an external load. Such loading can degrade
performance, as shown in Figure 41. Any load on the internal reference causes a voltage drop across the 6-kΩ
resistor and affects gain. The internal buffer is capable of driving ±2-mA loads, but any load can cause
perturbations of the reference at the CDAC, thus degrading performance.

POWER-DOWN
The ADS8517 has analog power-down and reference power-down capabilities via PWRD (pin 25) and REFD (pin
26), respectively. PWRD and REFD high powers down all analog circuitry, maintaining data from the previous
conversion in the internal registers, provided that the data have not already been shifted out through the serial
port. Typical power consumption in this mode is 50 µW. Power recovery is typically 1 ms, using a 2.2-µF
capacitor connected to CAP. Figure 42 shows power-down to power-up recovery time relative to the capacitor
value on CAP. With +5 V applied to VDIG, the digital circuitry of the ADS8517 remains active at all times,
regardless of PWRD and REFD states.
PWRD
PWRD high powers down all of the analog circuitry except for the reference. Data from the previous conversion
are maintained in the internal registers and can still be read. With PWRD high, a convert command yields
meaningless data.
REFD
REFD high powers down the internal 2.5-V reference. All other analog circuitry, including the reference buffer, is
active. REFD should be high when using an external reference to minimize power consumption and the loading
effects on the external reference. See Figure 41 for the characteristic impedance of the reference buffer input for
both REFD high and low. The internal reference consumes approximately 5 mW.

LAYOUT
POWER
For host processors that are able to advantage of a lower interface supply voltage, the ADS8517 offers a wide
range of voltages—from 5.5V to as low as 1.65V. The ADS8517 should be considered as an analog component
because, as noted in the Electrical Characteristics, it uses 95% of its power for the analog circuitry. If the
interface is at the same +5V as the analog supply, the two +5-V supplies should be separate. Connecting VDIG
(pin 28) directly to a digital supply can reduce converter performance because of switching noise from the digital
logic. For best performance, the +5-V supply should be produced from whichever analog supply is present for the
rest of the analog signal conditioning. If a +12-V or +15-V suppy is present in the system, a simple +5-V regulator
can be used. Although it is not suggested, if the digital supply in the system must be used to power the
converter, be sure it is properly filtered.
POWER-ON SEQUENCE
Care must be taken with power sequencing when the interface and analog supplies are different. Refer to the
Absolute Maximum Ratings for details. The analog supply should be powered on before the digital supply (used
for the interface). It is important that the voltage difference between VDIG and the digital inputs does not exceed
the limit of –0.3V to VDIG + 0.3V. All digital inputs should be kept inactive (logic low) until the digital (interface)
supply is steady.
GROUNDING
Three ground pins are present on the ADS8517. DGND is the digital supply ground. AGND2 is the analog supply
ground. AGND1 is the ground to which all analog signals internal to the A/D converter are referenced. AGND1 is
more susceptible to current induced voltage drops and must have the path of least resistance back to the power
supply.
To achieve optimum performance, all the ground pins of the A/D converter should be tied to an analog ground
plane, separated from the system digital logic ground. Both analog and digital ground planes should be tied to
the system ground as near to the power supplies as possible. This configuration helps to prevent dynamic digital
ground currents from modulating the analog ground through a common impedance to power ground.
SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The ADS8517 features high-impedance inputs as the result of the resistive input attenuation circuit. For ±10V, 0V
to 5V, and 0V to 4V inputs, the equivalent input impedances are 45.7kΩ, 20kΩ and 21.4kΩ respectively. Lower
cost op amps may be used to drive the ADC inputs because the driving requirement is not as high compared to
other converters. This input circuit not only reduces the power consumption on the signal conditioning op amp,
but it also works as a buffer to attenuate any charge injection resulting from the operation of the CDAC FET
sample switches, even though the design of those FET switches is optimized to give minimal charge injection.
Another benefit provided by the ADS8517 high-impedance front-end is assured ±25V overvoltage protection. In
most cases, this internal protection eliminates the need for external input protection circuitry.
INTERMEDIATE LATCHES
The ADS8517 does have 3-state outputs for the parallel port, but intermediate latches should be used if the bus
is active during conversion. If the bus is not active during conversion, the 3-state outputs can be used to isolate
the A/D converter from other peripherals on the same bus.
Intermediate latches are beneficial on any monolithic A/D converter. The ADS8517 has an internal LSB size of
38 µV (with a 2.5-V internal reference). Transients from fast-switching signals on the parallel port, even when the
A/D converter is 3-stated, can be coupled through the substrate to the analog circuitry, causing degradation of
converter performance.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
TRANSITION NOISE
Apply a dc input to the ADS8517 and initiate 1000 conversions. The digital output of the converter varies in
output codes because of the internal noise of the ADS8517. This variance is true for all 16-bit SAR converters.
The transition noise specification found in the Electrical Characteristics section is a statistical figure that
represents the one sigma limit or rms value of these output codes.
Using a histogram to plot the output codes, the distribution should appear bell-shaped, with the peak of the bell
curve representing the nominal output code for the input voltage value. The ±1σ, ±2σ, and ±3σ distributions
represent 68.3%, 95.5%, and 99.7%, respectively, of all codes. Multiplying the transition noise (TN) by 6 yields
the ±3σ distribution, or 99.7%, of all codes. Statistically, up to three codes could fall outside the five-code
distribution when executing 1000 conversions. The ADS8517 has a TN of 0.8 LSBs, which yields five output
codes for a ±3σ distribution. Figure 43 shows 16,384 conversion histogram results.

AVERAGING
The noise of the converter can be compensated by averaging the digital codes. By averaging conversion results,
transition noise is reduced by a factor of 1/√n where n is the number of averages. For example, averaging four
conversion results reduces the TN by 1/2 to 0.4 LSBs. Averaging should only be used for input signals with
frequencies near dc.
For ac signals, a digital filter can be used to low-pass filter and decimate the output codes. This action works in a
similar manner to averaging: for every decimation by 2, the signal-to-noise ratio improves by 3 dB.

ADS8517 AS AN SPI MASTER DEVICE (INT/EXT TIED LOW)
Figure 44 shows a simple interface between the ADS8517 and an SPI-equipped microcontroller or TMS320
series digital signal processor (DSP) when using the internal serial data clock. This interface assumes that the
microcontroller or DSP is configured as an SPI slave, is capable of receiving 16-bit transfers, and that the
ADS8517 is the only serial peripheral on the SPI bus.

Figure 44. ADS8517 as SPI Master
To maintain synchronization with the ADS8517, the microcontroller slave select (SS) input should be connected
to the BUSY output of the ADS8517. When a transition from high-to-low occurs on BUSY (indicating the current
conversion is in process), the ADS8517 internal SCLK begins shifting the previous conversion data into the
MOSI pin of the microcontroller. In this scenario, the CONV input to the ADS8517 can be controlled from an
external trigger source, or a trigger generated by the microcontroller. The ADS8517 internal SCLK provides 2 ns
(min) of setup time and 41 ns (min) of hold time on the SDATA output (see td5 and td6 in Table 6), allowing the
microcontroller to sample data on either the rising or falling edge of SCLK.

ADS8517 AS AN SPI SLAVE DEVICE (INT/EXT TIED HIGH)
Figure 45 shows another interface between the ADS8517 and an SPI-equipped microcontroller or DSP in which
the host processor acts as an SPI master device.

Figure 45. ADS8517 as SPI Slave
In this configuration, the data transfer from the ADS8517 is triggered by the rising edge of the serial data clock
provided by the SPI master. The SPI interface should be configured to read valid SDATA on the falling edge of
SCLK. When a minimum of 17 SCLKs are provided to the ADS8517, data can be strobed to the host processor
on the rising SCLK edge providing a 2ns (min) hold time (see td8 in Table 6).
When using an external interrupt to facilitate serial data transfers, as shown in Figure 45, there are two options
for the configuration of the interrupt service routine (ISR): falling-edge-triggered or rising-edge-triggered.
A falling-edge-triggered transfer would initiate an SPI transfer after the falling edge of BUSY, providing the host
controller with the previous conversion results, while the current conversion cycle is underway. The timing for this
type of interface is described in detail in Figure 36. Care must be taken to ensure the entire 16-bit conversion
result is retrieved from the ADS8517 before BUSY returns high to avoid the potential corruption of the current
conversion cycle.
A rising-edge-triggered transfer is the preferred method of obtaining the conversion results. This timing is
depicted in Figure 35. This method of obtaining data ensures that SCLK is static during the conversion cycle and
provides the host processor with current cycle conversion results.
8-BIT SPI INTERFACE
For microcontrollers that only support 8-bit SPI transfers, it is recommended to configure the ADS8517 for SPI
slave operation, as depicted in Figure 45. With the microcontroller configured as the SPI master, two 8-bit
transfers are required to obtain full 16-bit conversion results from the ADS8517. The eight MSBs of the
conversion result are considered valid on the falling SCLK edges of the first transfer, with the remaining four
LSBs being valid on the first four falling SCLK edges in the second transfer.
