•
The ADS9120 is a 16-bit, 2.5-MSPS, successive
approximation
register
(SAR)
analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with enhanced performance
features. The high throughput enables developers to
oversample the input signal to improve dynamic
range and accuracy of the measurement. The
ADS9110 is a pin-compatible, 18-bit, 2-MSPS variant
of the ADS9120.

Range: –40°C to +125°C
Small Footprint: 4-mm × 4-mm VQFN
The ADS9120 boosts analog performance while
maintaining high-resolution data transfer by using TI’s
enhanced SPI feature. Enhanced SPI enables the
ADS9120 to achieve high throughput at lower clock
speeds, thereby simplifying board layout and lowering
system cost.
Enhanced SPI also simplifies the host clocking-in of
data, thereby making the device ideal for applications
involving FPGAs and DSPs. The ADS9120 is
compatible with a standard SPI Interface. The
ADS9120 has an internal data parity feature that can
be appended to the ADC data output. ADC data
validation by the host, using parity bits, improves
system reliability.
The device supports JESD8-7A compliant I/Os, the
extended industrial temperature range, and is offered
in a space-saving, 4-mm × 4-mm, VQFN package.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The ADS9120 is a high-speed, successive approximation register (SAR), analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based
on the charge redistribution architecture. This compact device features high performance at a high throughput
rate and at low power consumption.
The ADS9120 supports unipolar, fully-differential analog input signals and operates with a 2.5-V to 5-V external
reference, offering a wide selection of input ranges without additional input scaling.
When a conversion is initiated, the differential input between the AINP and AINM pins is sampled on the internal
capacitor array. The ADS9120 uses an internal clock to perform conversions. During the conversion process,
both analog inputs are disconnected from the internal circuit. At the end of conversion process, the device
reconnects the sampling capacitors to the AINP and AINM pins and enters acquisition phase.
The device consumes only 15.5 mW of power when operating at the full 2.5-MSPS throughput. Power
consumption at lower throughputs can be reduced by using the flexible low-power modes (NAP and PD).
The new multiSPI™ interface simplifies board layout, timing, and firmware, and achieves high throughput at
lower clock speeds, thus allowing easy interface to a variety of microprocessors, digital signal processors
(DSPs), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
From a functional perspective, the device comprises of two modules: the converter module and the interface
module, as shown in this section.
The converter module samples and converts the analog input into an equivalent digital output code whereas the
interface module facilitates communication and data transfer with the host controller.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Converter Module
As shown in Figure 36, the converter module samples the analog input signal (provided between the AINP and
AINM pins), compares this signal with the reference voltage (provided between the pair of REFP and REFM
pins), and generates an equivalent digital output code.
The converter module receives RST and CONVST inputs from the interface module and outputs the ADCST
signal and the conversion result back to the interface module.

The device supports unipolar, fully-differential analog input signals. Figure 37 shows a small-signal equivalent
circuit of the sample-and-hold circuit. Each sampling switch is represented by a resistance (Rs1 and Rs2, typically
30 Ω) in series with an ideal switch (sw1 and sw2). The sampling capacitors, Cs1 and Cs2, are typically 60 pF.

Figure 37. Input Sampling Stage Equivalent Circuit
During the acquisition process (in ACQ state), both positive and negative inputs are individually sampled on Cs1
and Cs2, respectively. During the conversion process (in CNV state), the device converts for the voltage
difference between the two sampled values: VAINP – VAINM.
Each analog input pin has electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes to REFP and GND. Keep the analog
inputs within the specified range to avoid turning the diodes on.

7.3.1.2 External Reference Source
The input range for the device is set by the external voltage applied at the two REFP pins. The REFM pins
function as the reference ground and must be connected to each reference capacitor.
The device takes very little static current from the reference pins in the RST and ACQ states. During the
conversion process (in CNV state), binary-weighted capacitors are switched onto the reference pins. The
switching frequency is proportional to the conversion clock frequency, but the dynamic charge requirements are
a function of the absolute values of the input voltage and the reference voltage. Reference capacitors decouple
the dynamic reference loads and a low-impedance reference driver is required to keep the voltage regulated to
within 1 LSB.
Most reference sources have very high broadband noise. The voltage reference source is recommended to be
filtered with a 160-Hz filter before being connected to the reference driver, as shown in Figure 38. See the ADC
Reference Driver section for the reference capacitor and driver selection. Also, the reference inputs are sensitive
to board layout; thus, the layout guidelines described in the Layout section must be followed.

7.3.1.3 Internal Oscillator
The device features an internal oscillator (OSC) that provides the conversion clock; see Figure 36. Conversion
duration can vary but is bounded by the minimum and maximum value of tconv, as specified in the Timing
Requirements: Conversion Cycle table.
The interface module can use this internal clock (OSC) or an external clock (provided by the host controller on
the SCLK pin) or a combination of the internal and external clocks for executing the data transfer operations
between the device and host controller; see the Interface Module section for more details.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
As shown in Figure 41, the device supports three functional states: RST, ACQ, and CNV. The device state is
determined by the status of the CONVST and RST control signals provided by the host controller.

7.4.1 RST State
In the ADS9120, the RST pin is an asynchronous digital input. To enter RST state, the host controller must pull
the RST pin low and keep it low for the twl_RST duration (as specified in the Timing Requirements: Asynchronous
Reset, NAP, and PD table).
In RST state, all configuration registers (see the Register Maps section) are reset to the default values, the RVS
pins remain low, and the SDO-x pins are tri-stated.
To exit RST state, the host controller must pull the RST pin high with CONVST and SCLK held low and CS held
high, as shown in Figure 42. After a delay of td_rst, the device enters ACQ state and the RVS pin goes high.

7.4.2 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 end of every conversion.
An RST falling edge takes the device from an ACQ state to a RST state. A CONVST rising edge takes the
device from an ACQ state to a CNV 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.
7.4.3 CNV State
The device moves from ACQ state to CNV state on a rising edge of the CONVST pin. The conversion process
uses an internal clock and the device ignores any further transitions on the CONVST 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 4:
t cycle-min
tconv
t acq-min
(4)
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 4 with tconv_max.

7.5 Programming
The device features four 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).
To access the internal configuration registers, the device supports the commands listed in Table 2.

In the ADS9120, any data write to the device is always synchronous to the external clock provided on the SCLK
pin. The data read from the device can be synchronized to the same external clock 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 an internal, 20-bit, output data word are shifted out on the SDO pins.
The D[19:4] bits of the 20-bit output data word for any frame (F+1), are determined by the:
• Settings of the DATA_PATN[2:0] bits applicable to frame F+1 (see the DATA_CNTL register) and
• Command issued in frame F
If a valid RD_REG command is executed in frame F, then the D[19:12] bits in frame F+1 reflect the contents of
the selected register and the D[11:0] bits are 0s.
If the DATA_PATN[2:0] bits for frame F+1 are set to 1xxb, then the D[19:4] bits in frame F+1 are the fixed data
pattern shown in Figure 44.
For all other combinations, the D[19:4] bits for frame F+1 are the latest conversion result.
