With Programmable, Bipolar Input Ranges
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The ADS8681, ADS8685, and ADS8689 belong to a
family of integrated data acquisition system based on
a successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital
converter (ADC). The devices feature a high-speed,
high-precision SAR ADC, integrated analog front-end
(AFE) input driver circuit, overvoltage protection
circuit up to ±20 V, and an on-chip 4.096-V reference
with extremely low temperature drift.

0 V–6.144 V, and 0 V–5.12 V
5-V Analog Supply: 1.65-V to 5-V I/O Supply
Constant Resistive Input Impedance ≥ 1 MΩ
Input Overvoltage Protection: Up to ±20 V
On-Chip, 4.096-V Reference With Low Drift

– SNR: 92 dB; THD: –107 dB
ALARM → High, Low Threshold
multiSPI™ Interface With Daisy-Chain
Extended Industrial Temperature Range:
–40°C to +125°C
The devices operate on a single 5-V analog supply,
but support true bipolar input ranges of ±12.288 V,
±6.144 V, ±10.24 V, ±5.12 V, and ±2.56 V, as well as
unipolar input ranges of 0 V to 12.288 V, 0 V to
10.24 V, 0 V to 6.144 V, and 0 V to 5.12 V. The gain
and offset errors are accurately trimmed within the
specified values for each input range to ensure high
dc precision. The input range selection is done by
software programming of the device internal registers.
The devices offer a high resistive input impedance
(≥ 1 MΩ) irrespective of the selected input range.
The multiSPI digital interface is backward-compatible
to the traditional SPI protocol. Additionally,
configurable features simplify interface to a wide
range of host controllers.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The ADS868x devices belong to a family of high-speed, high-performance, easy-to-use integrated data
acquisition system. This single-channel device supports true bipolar input voltage swings up to ±12.288 V,
operating on a single 5-V analog supply. The device features an enhanced SPI interface (multiSPI) that allows
the sampling rate to be maximized even with lower speed host controllers.
The device consists of a high-precision successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) and a power-optimized analog front-end (AFE) circuit for signal conditioning that includes:
• A high-resistive input impedance (≥ 1 MΩ) that is independent of the sampling rate
• A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with a pseudo-differential input configuration supporting nine softwareprogrammable unipolar and bipolar input ranges
• A second-order, low-pass antialiasing filter
• An ADC driver amplifier that ensures quick settling of the SAR ADC input for high accuracy
• An input overvoltage protection circuit up to ±20 V
The device also features a low temperature drift, 4.096-V internal reference with a fast-settling buffer and a
multiSPI serial interface with daisy-chain (DAISY) and ALARM features.
The integration of the precision AFE circuit with high input impedance and a precision ADC operating from a
single 5-V supply offers a simplified end solution without requiring external high-voltage bipolar supplies and
complicated driver circuits.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Analog Input Structure
The device features a pseudo-differential input structure, meaning that the single-ended analog input signal is
applied at the positive input AIN_P and the negative input AIN_GND is tied to GND. Figure 47 shows the
simplified circuit schematic for the AFE circuit, including the input overvoltage protection circuit, PGA, low-pass
filter (LPF), and high-speed ADC driver.

Figure 47. Simplified Analog Front-End Circuit Schematic
The device can support multiple unipolar or bipolar, single-ended input voltage ranges based on the configuration
of the program registers. As explained in the RANGE_SEL_REG register, the input voltage range can be
configured to bipolar ±3 × VREF, ±2.5 × VREF, ±1.5 × VREF, ±1.25 × VREF, and ±0.625 × VREF or unipolar 0 to 3 ×
VREF, 0 to 2.5 × VREF, 0 to 1.5 × VREF and 0 to 1.25 × VREF. With the internal or external reference voltage set to
4.096 V, the input ranges of the device can be configured to bipolar ranges of ±12.288 V, ±10.24 V, ±6.144 V,
±5.12 V, and ±2.56 V or unipolar ranges of 0 V to 12.288 V, 0 V to 10.24 V, 0 V to 6.144 V, and 0 V to 5.12 V.
The device samples the voltage difference (AIN_P – AIN_GND) between the analog input and the AIN_GND pin.
The device allows a ±0.1-V range on the AIN_GND pin. This feature is useful in modular systems where the
sensor or signal-conditioning block is further away from the ADC on the board and when a difference in the
ground potential of the sensor or signal conditioner from the ADC ground is possible. In such cases, running
separate wires from the AIN_GND pin of the device to the sensor or signal-conditioning ground is recommended.
In order to obtain optimum performance, the input currents and impedances along each input path are
recommended to be matched. The two single-ended signals to AIN_P and AIN_GND must be routed as
symmetrically as possible from the signal source to the ADC input pins.
If the analog input pin (AIN_P) to the device is left floating, the output of the ADC corresponds to an internal
biasing voltage. The output from the ADC must be considered as invalid if the device is operated with floating
input pins. This condition does not cause any damage to the device, which becomes fully functional when a valid
input voltage is applied to the pins.
7.3.2 Analog Input Impedance
The device presents a resistive input impedance ≥ 1 MΩ on each of the analog inputs. The input impedance is
independent of the ADC sampling frequency or the input signal frequency. The primary advantage of such highimpedance inputs is the ease of driving the ADC inputs without requiring driving amplifiers with low output
impedance. Bipolar, high-voltage power supplies are not required in the system because this ADC does not
require any high-voltage, front-end drivers. In most applications, the signal sources or sensor outputs can be
directly connected to the ADC input, thus significantly simplifying the design of the signal chain.
In order to maintain the dc accuracy of the system, matching the external source impedance on the AIN_P input
pin with an equivalent resistance on the AIN_GND pin is recommended. This matching helps cancel any
additional offset error contributed by the external resistance.

7.3.3 Input Protection Circuit
The device features an internal overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit on each of the analog inputs. Use the
internal protection circuit only as a secondary protection scheme. The external protection devices in the end
application are highly recommended to be used to protect against surges, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and
electrical fast transient (EFT) conditions. A conceptual block diagram of the internal OVP circuit is shown in
Figure 48.

Figure 48. Input Overvoltage Protection Circuit Schematic
As shown in Figure 48, the combination of the 1-MΩ (or, 1.2 MΩ for appropriate input ranges) input resistors
along with the PGA gain-setting resistors RFB and RDC limit the current flowing into the input pin. A combination
of anti-parallel diodes, D1 and D2 are added to protect the internal circuitry and set the overvoltage protection
limits.
Table 1 explains the various operating conditions for the device when powered on. This table indicates that when
the device is properly powered up (AVDD = 5 V) or offers a low impedance of < 30 kΩ, the internal overvoltage
protection circuit can withstand up to ±20 V on the analog input pins.

The results indicated in Table 1 are based on an assumption that the analog input pin is driven by a very low
impedance source (RS is approximately 0 Ω). However, if the source driving the input has higher impedance, the
current flowing through the protection diodes reduces further, thereby increasing the OVP voltage range. Higher
source impedances result in gain errors and contribute to overall system noise performance.
Figure 49 shows the voltage versus current response of the internal overvoltage protection circuit when the
device is powered on. According to this current-to-voltage (I-V) response, the current flowing into the device input
pin is limited by the 1-MΩ (or 1.2 MΩ for appropriate input ranges) input impedance. However, for voltages
beyond ±20 V, the internal node voltages surpass the break-down voltage for internal transistors, thus setting the
limit for overvoltage protection on the input pin.
The same overvoltage protection circuit also provides protection to the device when the device is not powered on
and AVDD is floating. This condition can arise when the input signals are applied before the ADC is fully
powered on. The overvoltage protection limits for this condition are shown in Table 2.

Figure 50 shows the I-V response of the internal overvoltage protection circuit when the device is not powered
on. According to this I-V response, the current flowing into the device input pin is limited by the 1-MΩ input
impedance. However, for voltages beyond ±11 V, the internal node voltage surpasses the break-down voltage for
internal transistors, thus setting the limit for overvoltage protection on the input pin.

7.3.4 Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
The device features a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) as part of the analog signal-conditioning circuit that
converts the original single-ended input signal into a fully-differential signal to drive the internal SAR ADC. The
PGA also adjusts the common-mode level of the input signal before feeding it into the SAR ADC to ensure
maximum usage of the ADC input dynamic range. Depending on the range of the input signal, the PGA gain can
be adjusted by setting the RANGE_SEL[3:0] bits in the configuration register (see the RANGE_SEL_REG
register). The default or power-on state for the RANGE_SEL[3:0] bits is 0000, corresponding to an input signal
range of ±3 × VREF. Table 3 lists the various configurations of the RANGE_SEL[3:0] bits for the different analog
input voltage ranges.
The PGA uses a precisely-matched network of resistors for multiple gain configurations. Matching between these
resistors is accurately trimmed to keep the overall gain error low across all input ranges.

7.3.5 Second-Order, Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
In order to mitigate the noise of the front-end amplifier and gain resistors of the PGA, the AFE circuit of the
device features a second-order, antialiasing LPF at the output of the PGA. The magnitude and phase response
of the analog antialiasing filter are shown in Figure 51 and Figure 52, respectively. For maximum performance,
the –3-dB cutoff frequency for the antialiasing filter is typically set to 15 kHz. The performance of the filter is
consistent across all input ranges supported by the ADC.

7.3.6 ADC Driver
In order to meet the performance of the device at the maximum sampling rate, the sample-and-hold capacitors at
the input of the ADC must be successfully charged and discharged during the acquisition time window. This drive
requirement at the input of the ADC necessitates the use of a high-bandwidth, low-noise, and stable amplifier
buffer. Such an input driver is integrated in the front-end signal path of the analog input channel of the device.
7.3.7 Reference
The device can operate with either an internal voltage reference or an external voltage reference using the
internal buffer. The internal or external reference selection is determined by programming the INTREF_DIS bit of
the RANGE_SEL_REG register. The internal reference source is enabled (INTREF_DIS = 0) by default after
reset or when the device powers up. The INTREF_DIS bit must be programmed to logic 1 to disable the internal
reference source whenever an external reference source is used.
7.3.7.1 Internal Reference
The device features an internal reference source with a nominal output value of 4.096 V. In order to select the
internal reference, the INTREF_DIS bit of the RANGE_SEL_REG register must be programmed to logic 0. When
the internal reference is used, the REFIO pin becomes an output with the internal reference value. A 4.7-µF
(minimum) decoupling capacitor is recommended to be placed between the REFIO pin and REFGND, as shown
in Figure 53. The capacitor must be placed as close to the REFIO pin as possible. The output impedance of the
internal band-gap circuit creates a low-pass filter with this capacitor to band-limit the noise of the reference. The
use of a smaller capacitor value allows higher reference noise in the system that can potentially degrade SNR
and SINAD performance. The REFIO pin must not be used to drive external ac or dc loads because of limited
current output capability. The REFIO pin can be used as a source if followed by a suitable op amp buffer (such
as the OPA320).

Figure 54. Internal Reference Accuracy Histogram at Room Temperature
The initial accuracy specification for the internal reference can be degraded if the die is exposed to any
mechanical or thermal stress. Heating the device when being soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB) and any
subsequent solder reflow is a primary cause for shifts in the VREF value. The main cause of thermal hysteresis is
a change in die stress and is therefore a function of the package, die-attach material, and molding compound, as
well as the layout of the device itself.
Number of Devices
In order to illustrate this effect, 30 devices were soldered using lead-free solder paste with the manufacturer
suggested reflow profile, as explained in the AN-2029 Handling & Process Recommendations application report.
The internal voltage reference output is measured before and after the reflow process and the typical shift in
value is shown in Figure 55. Although all tested units exhibit a positive shift in their output voltages, negative
shifts are also possible. The histogram in Figure 55 shows the typical shift for exposure to a single reflow profile.
Exposure to multiple reflows, which is common on PCBs with surface-mount components on both sides, causes
additional shifts in the output voltage. If the PCB is to be exposed to multiple reflows, solder the ADS868x in the
second pass to minimize device exposure to thermal stress.

The internal reference is also temperature compensated to provide excellent temperature drift over an extended
industrial temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Figure 56 and Figure 57 show the variation of the internal
reference voltage across temperature for different values of the AVDD supply voltage. The temperature drift of
the internal reference is also a function of the package type. Figure 58 and Figure 59 show histogram distribution
of the reference voltage drift for the TSSOP (PW) and WQFN (RUM) packages, respectively.

7.3.7.2 External Reference
For applications that require a better reference voltage or a common reference voltage for multiple devices, the
device provides a provision to use an external reference source along with an internal buffer to drive the ADC
reference pin. In order to select the external reference mode, the INTREF_DIS bit of the RANGE_SEL_REG
register must be programmed to logic 1. In this mode, an external 4.096-V reference must be applied at the
REFIO pin, which functions as an input. Any low-power, low-drift, or small-size external reference can be used in
this mode because the internal buffer is optimally designed to handle the dynamic loading on the REFCAP pin
that is internally connected to the ADC reference input. The output of the external reference must be
appropriately filtered to minimize the resulting effect of the reference noise on system performance. A typical
connection diagram for this mode is shown in Figure 60.

The output of the internal reference buffer appears at the REFCAP pin. A minimum capacitance of 10 µF must
be placed between the REFCAP and REFGND pins. Place another capacitor of 1 µF as close to the REFCAP
pin as possible for decoupling high-frequency signals. Do not use the internal buffer to drive external ac or dc
loads because of the limited current output capability of this buffer.

The performance of the internal buffer output is very stable across the entire operating temperature range of
–40°C to +125°C. Figure 61 (for the PW package) and Figure 63 (for the RUM package) show the variation in
the REFCAP output across temperature for different values of the AVDD supply voltage. The typical specified
value of the reference buffer drift over temperature is 0.5 ppm/°C, as shown in Figure 62 (for the PW package)
and Figure 64 (for the RUM package), and the maximum specified temperature drift is equal to 2 ppm/°C.

7.3.8 ADC Transfer Function
The device supports a pseudo-differential input supporting both bipolar and unipolar input ranges. The output of
the device is in straight-binary format for both bipolar and unipolar input ranges.
The ideal transfer characteristic for all input ranges is shown in Figure 65. The full-scale range (FSR) for each
input signal is equal to the difference between the positive full-scale (PFS) input voltage and the negative fullscale (NFS) input voltage. The LSB size is equal to FSR / 216. For a reference voltage of VREF = 4.096 V, the
LSB values corresponding to the different input ranges are listed in Table 4.

7.3.9 Alarm Features
The device features an active-high alarm output on the ALARM/SDO-1/GPO pin, provided that the pin is
configured for alarm functionality. To enable the ALARM output on the multi-function pin, se the
SDO1_CONFIG[1:0] bits of the SDO_CTL_REG register to 01b (see the SDO_CTL_REG register).
The device features two types of alarm functions: an input alarm and an AVDD alarm.
• For the input alarm, the voltage at the input of the ADC is monitored and compared against userprogrammable high and low threshold values. The device sets an active high alarm output when the
corresponding digital value of the input signal goes beyond the high or low threshold set by the user; see the
Input Alarm section for a detailed explanation of the input alarm feature functionality.
• For the AVDD alarm, the analog supply voltage (AVDD) of the ADC is monitored and compared against the
specified typical low threshold (4.7 V) and high threshold (5.3 V) values of the AVDD supply. The device sets
an active high alarm output if the value of AVDD crosses the specified low (4.7 V) and high threshold (5.3 V)
values in either direction.
When the alarm functionality is turned on, both the input and AVDD alarm functions are enabled by default.
These alarm functions can be selectively disabled by programming the IN_AL_DIS and VDD_AL_DIS bits
(respectively) of the RST_PWRCTL_REG register.
Each alarm (input alarm or AVDD alarm) has two types of alarm flags associated with it: the active alarm flag
and the tripped alarm flag. All the alarm flags can be read in the ALARM_REG register. Both flags are set when
the associated alarm is triggered. However while the active alarm is cleared at the end of the current ADC
conversion (and set again if the alarm condition persists), the tripped flag is cleared only after ALARM_REG is
read.
The ALARM output flags are updated internally at the end of every conversion. These output flags can be read
during any data frame that the user initiates by bringing the CONVST/CS signal to a low level.
The ALARM output flags can be read in three different ways: either via the ALARM output pin, by reading the
internal ALARM registers, or by appending the ALARM flags to the data output.
• A high level on the ALARM pin indicates an over- or undervoltage condition on AVDD or on the analog input
channel of the device. This pin can be wired to interrupt the host input.
• The internal ALARM flag bits in the ALARM_REG register are updated at the end of conversion. After
receiving an ALARM interrupt on the output pin, the internal alarm flag registers can be read to obtain more
details on the conditions that generated the alarm.
• The alarm output flags can be selectively appended to the data output bit stream (see the
DATAOUT_CTL_REG register for configuration details).
Figure 66 shows a functional block diagram for the device alarm functionality.

7.3.9.1 Input Alarm
The device features a high and a low alarm on the analog input. The alarms corresponding to the input signal
have independently-programmable thresholds and a common hysteresis setting that can be controlled through
the ALARM_H_TH_REG and ALARM_L_TH_REG registers.
The device sets the input high alarm when the digital output exceeds the high alarm upper limit [high alarm
threshold (T)]. The alarm resets when the digital output is less than or equal to the high alarm lower limit [high
alarm (T) – H – 1). This function is shown in Figure 67.
Alarm Threshold
Alarm Threshold
Similarly, the input low alarm is triggered when the digital output falls below the low alarm lower limit [low alarm
threshold (T)]. The alarm resets when the digital output is greater than or equal to the low alarm higher limit [low
alarm (T) + H + 1]. This function is shown in Figure 68.

7.3.9.2 AVDD Alarm
The device features a high and a low alarm on the analog voltage supply, AVDD. Unlike the input signal alarm,
the AVDD alarm has fixed trip points that are set by design. The device features an internal analog comparator
that constantly monitors the analog supply against the high and low threshold voltages. The high alarm is set if
AVDD exceeds a typical value of 5.3 V and the low alarm is asserted if AVDD drops below 4.7 V. This feature is
specially useful for debugging unusual device behavior caused by a glitch or brown-out condition on the analog
AVDD supply.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The device features the multiSPI digital interface for communication and data transfer between the device and
the host controller. The multiSPI interface supports many data transfer protocols that the host uses to exchange
data and commands with the device. The host can transfer data into the device using one of the standard SPI
modes. However, the device can be configured to output data in a number of ways to suit the application
demands of throughput and latency. The data output in these modes can be controlled either by the host or the
device, and the timing can either be system synchronous or source synchronous. For detailed explanation of the
supported data transfer protocols, see the Data Transfer Protocols section.
This section describes the main components of the digital interface module as well as supported configurations
and protocols. As shown in Figure 69, the interface module is comprised of shift registers (both input and output),
configuration registers, and a protocol unit. During any particular data frame, data are transferred both into and
out of the device. As a result, the host always perceives the device as a 32-bit input-output shift register, as
shown in Figure 69.

pin of device 2, and so forth. The SDO-0 output pin of the last device in the chain (device N) is connected to the
SDI pin of the host controller.
To operate multiple devices in a daisy-chain topology, the host controller must program the configuration
registers in each device with identical values. The devices must operate with a single SDO-0 output, using the
external clock with any of the legacy, SPI-compatible protocols for data read and data write operations. In the
SDO_CTL_REG register, bits 7-0 must be programmed to 00h.
All devices in the daisy-chain topology sample their analog input signals on the rising edge of the CONVST/CS
signal and the data transfer frame starts with a falling edge of the same signal. At the launch edge of the SCLK
signal, every device in the chain shifts out the MSB to the SDO-0 pin. On every SCLK capture edge, each device
in the chain shifts in data received on its SDI pin as the LSB bit of the unified shift register; see Figure 69.
Therefore, in a daisy-chain configuration, the host controller receives the data of device N, followed by the data
of device N-1, and so forth (in MSB-first fashion). On the rising edge of the CONVST/CS signal, each device
decodes the contents in its unified and takes appropriate action.
For N devices connected in a daisy-chain topology, an optimal data transfer frame must contain 32 × N SCLK
capture edges (see Figure 73). A shorter data transfer frame can result in an erroneous device configuration and
must be avoided. For a data transfer frame with > 32 × N SCLK capture edges, the host controller must
appropriately align the configuration data for each device before bringing CONVST/CS high.
The overall throughput of the system is proportionally reduced with the number of devices connected in a daisychain topology.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.2.1 RESET State
The device features an active-low RST pin that is an asynchronous digital input. In order to enter a RESET state,
the RST pin must be pulled low and kept low for the twl_RST duration (as specified in the Timing Requirements:
Asynchronous Reset table).
The device features two different types of reset functions: an application reset or a power-on reset (POR). The
functionality of the RST pin is determined by the state of the RSTn_APP bit in the RST_PWRCTL_REG register.
• In order to configure the RST pin to issue an application reset, the RSTn_APP bit in the RST_PWRCTL_REG
register must be configured to 1b. In this RESET state, all configuration registers (see the Register Maps
section) are reset to their default values, the RVS pins remain low, and the SDO-x pins are tri-stated.
• The default configuration for the RST pin is to issue a power-on reset when pulled to a low level. The
RSTn_APP bit is set to 0b in this state. When a POR is issued, all internal circuitry of the device (including
the PGA, ADC driver, and voltage reference) are reset. When the device comes out of the POR state, the
tD_RST_POR time duration must be allowed for (see the Timing Requirements: Asynchronous Reset table) in
order for the internal circuitry to accurately settle.
In order to exit any of the RESET states, the RST pin must be pulled high with CONVST/CS and SCLK held low.
After a delay of tD_RST_POR or tD_RST_APP (see the Timing Requirements: Asynchronous Reset table), the device
enters ACQ state and the RVS pin goes high.
To operate the device in any of the other two states (ACQ or CONV), the RST pin must be held high. With the
RST pin held high, transitions on the CONVST/CS pin determine the functional state of the device. A typical
conversion cycle is illustrated in Figure 1.
7.4.2.2 ACQ State
In ACQ state, the device acquires the analog input signal. The device enters ACQ state on power-up, after any
asynchronous reset, or after the end of every conversion.
The falling edge of the RST falling edge takes the device from an ACQ state to a RESET state. A rising edge of
the CONVST/CS signal takes the device from ACQ state to a CONV state.
The device offers a low-power NAP mode to reduce power consumption in the ACQ state; see the NAP Mode
section for more details on NAP mode.
7.4.2.3 CONV State
The device moves from ACQ state to CONV state on the rising edge of the CONVST/CS signal. The conversion
process uses an internal clock and the device ignores any further transitions on the CONVST/CS signal until the
ongoing conversion is complete (that is, during the time interval of tconv).
At the end of conversion, the device enters ACQ state. The cycle time for the device is given by Equation 1:
t cycle-min tconv tacq-min
(1)
NOTE
The conversion time, tconv, can vary within the specified limits of tconv_min and tconv_max (as
specified in the Timing Requirements: Conversion Cycle table). After initiating a
conversion, the host controller must monitor for a low-to-high transition on the RVS pin or
wait for the tconv_max duration to elapse before initiating a new operation (data transfer or
conversion). If RVS is not monitored, substitute tconv in Equation 1 with tconv_max.

7.5 Programming
The device features nine configuration registers (as described in the Register Maps section) and supports two
types of data transfer operations: data write (the host configures the device), and data read (the host reads data
from the device).
7.5.1 Data Transfer Frame
A data transfer frame between the device and the host controller begins at the falling edge of the CONVST/CS
pin and ends when the device starts conversion at the subsequent rising edge. The host controller can initiate a
data transfer frame by bringing the CONVST/CS signal low (as shown in Figure 75) after the end of the CONV
phase, as described in the CONV State section.

Programming (continued)
For a typical data transfer frame F:
1. The host controller pulls CONVST/CS low to initiate a data transfer frame. On the falling edge of the
CONVST/CS signal:
– RVS goes low, indicating the beginning of the data transfer frame.
– The internal SCLK counter is reset to 0.
– The device takes control of the data bus. As illustrated in Figure 75, the contents of the output data word
are loaded into the 32-bit output shift register (OSR).
– The internal configuration register is reset to 0000h, corresponding to a NOP command.
2. During the frame, the host controller provides clocks on the SCLK pin:
– On each SCLK capture edge, the SCLK counter is incremented and the data bit received on the SDI pin
is shifted into the LSB of the input shift register.
– On each launch edge of the output clock (SCLK in this case), the MSB of the output shift register data is
shifted out on the selected SDO-x pins.
– The status of the RVS pin depends on the output protocol selection (see the Protocols for Reading From
the Device section).
3. The host controller pulls the CONVST/CS pin high to end the data transfer frame. On the rising edge of
CONVST/CS:
– The SDO-x pins go to tri-state.
– As illustrated in Figure 75, the contents of the input shift register are transferred to the command
processor for decoding and further action.
– RVS output goes low, indicating the beginning of conversion.
After pulling CONVST/CS high, the host controller must monitor for a low-to-high transition on the RVS pin or
wait for the tconv_max time (see the Timing Requirements: Conversion Cycle table) to elapse before initiating a new
data transfer frame.
At the end of the data transfer frame F:
• If the SCLK counter = 32, then the device treats the frame F as an optimal data transfer frame for any read or
write operation. At the end of an optimal data transfer frame, the command processor treats the 32-bit
contents of the input shift register as a valid command word.
• If the SCLK counter is < 32, then the device treats the frame F as a short data transfer frame.
– The data write operation to the device in invalid and the device treats this frame as an NOP command.
– The output data bits transferred during a short frame on the SDO-x pins are still valid data. The host
controller can use the short data transfer frame to read only the required number of MSB bits from the 32bit output shift register.
• If the SCLK counter is > 32, then the device treats the frame F as a long data transfer frame. At the end of a
long data transfer frame, the command processor treats the 32-bit contents of the input shift register as a
valid command word. There is no restriction on the maximum number of clocks that can be provided within
any data transfer frame F. However, when the host controller provides a long data transfer frame, the last 32
bits shifted into the device prior to the CONVST/CS rising edge must constitute the desired command.

7.5.2 Input Command Word and Register Write Operation
Any data write operation to the device is always synchronous to the external clock provided on the SCLK pin.
The device allows either one byte or two bytes (equivalent to half a word) to be read or written during any device
programming operation. Table 5 lists the input commands supported by the device. The input commands
associated with reading or writing two bytes in a single operation are suffixed as HWORD.
For any HWORD command, the LSB of the 9-bit address is always ignored and considered as 0b. For example,
regardless whether address 04h or 05h is entered for any particular HWORD command, the device always
exercises the command on address 04h.

An HWORD command operates on a set of 16 bits in the register map that is usually identified as two registers of eight bits each. For
example, the command 11000_xx_ is treated the same as the command 11000_xx_ for bits 15:0 of the RST_PWRCTL_REG register.
All input commands (including the CLEAR_HWORD, WRITE, and SET_HWORD commands listed in Table 5)
used to configure the internal registers must be 32 bits long. If any of these commands are provided in a
particular data frame F, that command gets executed at the rising edge of the CONVST/CS signal.

7.5.3 Output Data Word
The data read from the device can be synchronized to the external clock on the SCLK pin or to an internal clock
of the device by programming the configuration registers (see the Data Transfer Protocols section for details).
In any data transfer frame, the contents of the internal output shift register are shifted out on the SDO-x pins. The
output data for any frame (F+1) is determined by the command issued in frame F and the status of
DATA_VAL[2:0] bits:
• If DATA_VAL[2:0] bits in DATAOUT_CTL_REG register are set to 1xxb, then the output data word for frame
(F+1) contains fixed data pattern as described in the DATAOUT_CTL_REG register.
• If a valid READ command is issued in frame F, the output data word for frame (F+1) contains 8-bit register
data, followed by 0's.
• If a valid READ_HWORD command is issued in frame F, the output data word for frame (F+1) contains 16-bit
register data, followed by 0's.
• For all other combinations, the output data word for frame (F+1) contains the latest 16-bit conversion result.
Program the DATAOUT_CTL_REG register to append various data flags to the conversion result. The data
flags are appended as per following sequence:
1. DEVICE_ADDR[3:0] bits are appended if the DEVICE_ADDR_INCL bit is set to 1
2. AVDD ALARM FLAGS are appended if the VDD_ACTIVE_ALARM_INCL bit is set to 1
3. INPUT ALARM FLAGS are appended if the IN_ACTIVE_ALARM_INCL bit is set to 1
4. ADC INPUT RANGE FLAGS are appended if the RANGE_INCL bit is set to 1
5. PARITY bits are appended if the PAR_EN bit is set to 1
6. All the remaining bits in the 32-bit output data word are set to 0.
Table 6 shows the output data word with all data flags enabled.

7.5.4 Data Transfer Protocols
The device features a multiSPI interface that allows the host controller to operate at slower SCLK speeds and
still achieve the required cycle time with a faster response time.
• For any data write operation, the host controller can use any of the four legacy, SPI-compatible protocols to
configure the device, as described in the Protocols for Configuring the Device section.
• For any data read operation from the device, the multiSPI interface module offers the following options:
– Legacy, SPI-compatible protocol with a single SDO-x (see the Legacy, SPI-Compatible (SYS-xy-S)
Protocols with a Single SDO-x section)
– Legacy, SPI-compatible protocol with dual SDO-x (see the Legacy, SPI-Compatible (SYS-xy-S) Protocols
with Dual SDO-x section)
– ADC master clock or source-synchronous (SRC) protocol for data transfer (see the Source-Synchronous
(SRC) Protocols section)
7.5.4.1 Protocols for Configuring the Device
As described in Table 8, the host controller can use any of the four legacy, SPI-compatible protocols (SPI-00-S,
SPI-01-S, SPI-10-S, or SPI-11-S) to write data into the device.

On power-up or after coming out of any asynchronous reset, the device supports the SPI-00-S protocol for data
read and data write operations. To select a different SPI-compatible protocol, program the SDI_MODE[1:0] bits in
the SDI_CNTL_REG register. This first write operation must adhere to the SPI-00-S protocol. Any subsequent
data transfer frames must adhere to the newly-selected protocol. The SPI protocol selected by the configuration
of the SDI_MODE[1:0] is applicable to both read and write operations.
Figure 76 and Figure 77 detail the four protocols using an optimal data frame; see the Timing Requirements:
SPI-Compatible Serial Interface table for associated timing parameters.
NOTE
As explained in the Data Transfer Frame section, a valid write operation to the device
requires a minimum of 32 SCLKs to be provided within a data transfer frame.

7.5.4.2 Protocols for Reading From the Device
The protocols for the data read operation can be broadly classified into three categories:
1. Legacy, SPI-compatible protocols with a single SDO-x
2. Legacy, SPI-compatible protocols with dual SDO-x
3. ADC master clock or source-synchronous (SRC) protocol for data transfer
7.5.4.2.1 Legacy, SPI-Compatible (SYS-xy-S) Protocols with a Single SDO-x
As shown in Table 9, the host controller can use any of the four legacy, SPI-compatible protocols (SPI-00-S, SPI01-S, SPI-10-S, or SPI-11-S) to read data from the device.

On power-up or after coming out of any asynchronous reset, the device supports the SPI-00-S protocol for data
read and data write operations. To select a different SPI-compatible protocol for both the data transfer
operations:
1. Program the SDI_MODE[1:0] bits in the SDI_CTL_REG register. This first write operation must adhere to the
SPI-00-S protocol. Any subsequent data transfer frames must adhere to the newly-selected protocol.
2. Set the SDO_MODE[1:0] bits = 00b in the SDO_CTL_REG register.
NOTE
The SPI transfer protocol selected by configuring the SDI_MODE[1:0] bits in the
SDI_CTL_REG register determines the data transfer protocol for both write and read
operations. Either data can be read from the device using the selected SPI protocol by
configuring the SDO_MODE[1:0] bits = 00b in the SDO_CTL_REG register, or one of the
SRC protocols can be selected for data read, as explained in the Source-Synchronous
(SRC) Protocols section.
When using any of the SPI-compatible protocols, the RVS output remains low throughout the data transfer frame;
see the Timing Requirements: SPI-Compatible Serial Interface table for associated timing parameters.
Figure 78 and Figure 79 explain the details of the four protocols. As explained in the Data Transfer Frame
section, the host controller can use a short data transfer frame to read only the required number of MSB bits
from the 32-bit output data word.
If the host controller uses a long data transfer frame with SDO_CNTL_REG[7:0] = 00h, then the device exhibits
daisy-chain operation (see the Multiple Devices: Daisy-Chain Topology section).

The device provides an option to increase the SDO-x bus width from one bit (default, single SDO-x) to two bits
(dual SDO-x) when operating with any of the data transfer protocols. In order to operate the device in dual SDO
mode, the SDO1_CONFIG[1:0] bits in the SDO_CTL_REG register must be set to 11b. In this mode, the
ALARM/SDO-1/GPO pin functions as SDO-1.

Figure 81. Standard SPI Timing Protocol
(CPHA = 1, Dual SDO-x)
NOTE
For any particular SPI protocol, the device follows the same timing specifications for single
and dual SDO modes. The only difference is that the device requires half as many SCLK
cycles to output the same number of bits when in single SDO mode, thus reducing the
minimum required SCLK frequency for a certain sampling rate of the ADC.

7.5.4.2.3 Source-Synchronous (SRC) Protocols
The multiSPI interface supports an ADC master clock or source-synchronous mode of data transfer between the
device and host controller. In this mode, the device provides an output clock that is synchronous with the output
data. Furthermore, the host controller can also select the output clock source and data bus width options in this
mode of operation. In all SRC modes of operation, the RVS pin provides the output clock, synchronous to the
device data output.
The SRC protocol allows the clock source (internal or external) and the width of the output bus to be configured,
similar to the SPI protocols.
7.5.4.2.3.1 Output Clock Source Options
The device allows the output clock on the RVS pin to be synchronous to either the external clock provided on the
SCLK pin or to the internal clock of the device. This selection is done by configuring the SSYNC_CLK bit, as
explained in the SDO_CTL_REG register. The timing diagram and specifications for operating the device with an
SRC protocol in external CLK mode are provided in Figure 7 and the Timing Requirements: Source-Synchronous
Serial Interface (External Clock) table. The timing diagram and specifications for operating the device with an
SRC protocol in internal CLK mode are provided in Figure 8 and the Timing Requirements: Source-Synchronous
Serial Interface (Internal Clock) table.
7.5.4.2.3.2 Output Bus Width Options
The device provides an option to increase the SDO-x bus width from one bit (default, single SDO-x) to two bits
(dual SDO-x) when operating with any of the SRC protocols. In order to operate the device in dual SDO mode,
the SDO1_CONFIG[1:0] bits in the SDO_CTL_REG register must be set to 11b. In this mode, the ALARM/SDO1/GPO pin functions as SDO-1.
NOTE
For any particular SRC protocol, the device follows the same timing specifications for
single and dual SDO modes. The only difference is that the device requires half as many
clock cycles to output the same number of bits when in single SDO mode, thus reducing
the minimum required clock frequency for a certain sampling rate of the ADC.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The ADS868x is a fully-integrated data acquisition (DAQ) system based on a 16-bit successive approximation
(SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device includes an integrated analog front-end (AFE) circuit to drive
the inputs of the ADC and an integrated precision reference with a buffer. As such, this device does not require
any additional external circuits for driving the reference or analog input pins of the ADC.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
Design a 16-bit DAQ system for processing input signals up to ±12 V superimposed on large dc or ac commonmode offsets relative to the ground potential of the system main power supply. The specific performance
requirements are as follows:
• Input signal: ±12-V amplitude signal of a 1-kHz frequency superimposed on a ±75-V common-mode with
frequency between dc and 15 kHz
• CMRR > 100 dB over stipulated common-mode frequency range
• SNR > 90 dB
• THD < –104 dB

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The design uses galvanic isolation between the DAQ system inputs and main power supply to achieve extremely
high CMRR, as indicated by Figure 91. The system not only tolerates large common-mode voltages beyond its
absolute maximum ratings but also delivers excellent performance largely independent of common-mode
amplitude and frequency (within the specified operating limits). The relevant performance characteristics are
illustrated in Figure 99, Figure 93, and Figure 94.
The system performance requirements by itself can be easily satisfied by using the ADS868x. This device
simplifies system design because the ADS868x eliminates the need for designing a discrete high-performance
signal chain needed with most other SAR ADCs. In addition, the use of galvanic isolation has the following
system design implications:
• A local floating supply is needed to power the ADS868x because the device cannot load the system main
power supply
• A digital isolator is required to facilitate data transfer between the isolated ADS868x serial interface and the
digital host controller
The floating power supply can be realized as an isolated transformer-based, push-pull converter followed by a
rectifier and low-dropout (LDO) regulator to largely eliminate the ADC power-supply ripple by taking advantage of
the high PSRR provided by most LDOs. A schematic of this design is shown in Figure 92.

Figure 92. Isolated Power-Supply Design
Recommended components for the circuit shown in Figure 92 are given below:
• The SN6501 transformer driver is selected for its low input voltage requirement, small form-factor, and the
flexibility offered for easily adjusting the system isolation voltage rating by substituting the transformer
• A miniature printed circuit board (PCB)-mount, center-tapped transformer with a gain > 1 maintains line
regulation at the LDO outputs
• Schottky rectifiers for minimal forward voltage drop
• Smoothing capacitor for sufficiently low ripple at the LDO input
• The TPS7A4901 LDOs for an ultra-low noise contribution relative to the ADS868x and high PSRR over a
wide frequency range to attenuate output ripple to levels below the LDO output noise level
With regard to the digital isolator, the ISO7640FM is recommended for the following reasons:
• Supports > a 50-MHz SCLK and the required logic levels for operating the ADS868x at the full throughput
• Quad-channel device that facilitates excellent delay-matching between critical interface signals for reliable
operation at high speed

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device uses two separate power supplies: AVDD and DVDD. The internal circuits of the device operate on
AVDD and DVDD is used for the digital interface. AVDD and DVDD can be independently set to any value within
the permissible range.
9.1 Power Supply Decoupling
The AVDD supply pins must be decoupled with AGND by using a minimum 10-µF and 1-µF capacitor on each
supply. Place the 1-µF capacitor as close to the supply pins as possible. Place a minimum 10-µF decoupling
capacitor very close to the DVDD supply to provide the high-frequency digital switching current. The effect of
using the decoupling capacitor is illustrated in the difference between the power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR)
performance of the device. Figure 100 shows the PSRR of the device without using a decoupling capacitor. The
PSRR improves when the decoupling capacitors are used, as shown in Figure 101.

9.2 Power Saving
In normal mode of operation, the device does not power down between conversions, and therefore achieves high
throughput.However, the device offers two programmable low-power modes: NAP and power-down (PD) to
reduce power consumption when the device is operated at lower throughput rates.
9.2.1 NAP Mode
In NAP mode, the internal blocks of the device are placed into a low-power mode to reduce the overall power
consumption of the device in the ACQ state.
To enable NAP mode:
• Write 69h to register address 05h to unlock the RST_PWRCTL_REG register.
• The NAP_EN bit in the RST_PWRCTL_REG register must be set to 1b. The CONVST/CS pin must be kept
high at the end of the conversion process. The device then enters NAP mode at the end of conversion and
remains in NAP mode as long as the CONVST/CS pin is held high.
A falling edge on the CONVST/CS brings the device out of NAP mode; however, the host controller can initiate a
new conversion (CONVST/CS rising edge) only after the tNAP_WKUP time has elapsed (see the Timing
Requirements: Asynchronous Reset table).

Power Saving (continued)
9.2.2 Power-Down (PD) Mode
The device also features a deep power-down mode (PD) to reduce the power consumption at very low
throughput rates.
The following steps must be taken to enter PD mode:
1. Write 69h to register address 05h to unlock the RST_PWRCTL_REG register.
2. Set the PWRDN bit in the RST_PWRCTL_REG register to 1b. The device enters PD mode on the rising
edge of the CONVST/CS signal.
In PD mode, all analog blocks within the device are powered down; however, the interface remains active and
the register contents are also retained. The RVS pin is high, indicating that the device is ready to receive the
next command.
In order to exit PD mode:
1. Clear the PWRDN bit in the RST_PWRCTL_REG register to 0b.
2. The RVS pin goes high, indicating that the device has started coming out of PD mode. However, the host
controller must wait for the tPWRUP time (see the Timing Requirements: Asynchronous Reset table) to elapse
before initiating a new conversion.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 102 illustrates a PCB layout example for the ADS868x.
• Partition the PCB into analog and digital sections. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog signals are
kept away from the digital lines. This layout helps keep the analog input and reference input signals away
from the digital noise. In this layout example, the analog input and reference signals are routed on the lower
side of the board and the digital connections are routed on the top side of the board.
• Using a single dedicated ground plane is strongly encouraged.
• Power sources to the ADS868x must be clean and well-bypassed. Using a 1-μF, X7R-grade, 0603-size
ceramic capacitor with at least a 10-V rating in close proximity to the analog (AVDD) supply pins is
recommended. For decoupling the digital supply pin (DVDD), a 1-μF, X7R-grade, 0603-size ceramic capacitor
with at least a 10-V rating is recommended. Placing vias between the AVDD, DVDD pins and the bypass
capacitors must be avoided. All ground pins must be connected to the ground plane using short, lowimpedance paths.
• There are two decoupling capacitors used for the REFCAP pin. The first is a small, 1-μF, 0603-size ceramic
capacitor placed close to the device pins for decoupling the high-frequency signals and the second is a
10-μF, 0805-size ceramic capacitor to provide the charge required by the reference circuit of the device. A
capacitor with an ESR less than 0.2 Ω is recommended for the 10-μF capacitor. Both of these capacitors
must be directly connected to the device pins without any vias between the pins and capacitors.
• The REFIO pin also must be decoupled with a minimum of 4.7-μF ceramic capacitor if the internal reference
of the device is used. The capacitor must be placed close to the device pins.
