Noise Free Resolution listed is for Bipolar operation, and is calculated as LOG((Input Span)/(6.6xRMS Noise))/LOG(2) rounded to the nearest bit. For Unipolar operation, the input span is 1/2 as large, so one bit is lost. The input span is calculated in the analog input span section of the data sheet. The Noise Free Resolution table is computed with a value of 1.0 in the gain register. Values other than 1.0 will scale the noise, and change the Noise Free Resolution accordingly. 10. “Noise Free Resolution” is not the same as “Effective Resolution”. Effective Resolution is based on the RMS noise value, while Noise Free Resolution is based on a peak-to-peak noise value specified as 6.6 times the RMS noise value. Effective Resolution is calculated as LOG((Input Span)/(RMS Noise))/LOG(2). Specifications are subject to change without notice. 6 DS742A4 CS5530 5 V DIGITAL CHARACTERISTICS (VA+, VD+ = 5 V ±5%; VA-, DGND = 0 V; See Notes 2 and 11.)

The ADC is optimized for measuring low-level unipolar or bipolar signals in weigh scale, process control, scientific, and medical applications. To accommodate these applications, the ADC includes a very-low-noise, chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier (12 nV/√Hz @ 0.1 Hz) with a gain of 64X. This ADC also includes a fourth-order ∆Σ modulator followed by a digital filter which provides twenty selectable output word rates of 6.25, 7.5, 12.5, 15, 25, 30, 50, 60, 100, 120, 200, 240, 400, 480, 800, 960, 1600, 1920, 3200, and 3840 samples per second (MCLK = 4.9152 MHz). To ease communication between the ADCs and a micro-controller, the converters include a simple three-wire serial interface which is SPI and Microwire compatible with a Schmitt-trigger input on the serial clock (SCLK). 2.1 Analog Input Figure 3 illustrates a block diagram of the CS5530. The front end includes a chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier with a gain of 64X. The amplifier is chopper-stabilized and operates with a chop clock frequency of MCLK/128. The CVF (sampling) current into the instrumentation amplifier is typically 1200 pA over -20°C to +70°C (MCLK=4.9152 MHz). The common-mode plus signal range of the instrumentation amplifier is (VA-) + 1.6 V to (VA+) - 1.6 V. Figure 4 illustrates the input model for the 64X amplifier. φ1 Fine φ1 Coarse AIN C = 14 pF Vos ≤ 12 mV in = fVos C f = MCLK 16 Figure 4.

Front End Configuration DS742A4 11 CS5530 2.1.1 Analog Input Span The full-scale input signal that the converter can digitize is a function of the reference voltage connected between the VREF+ and VREF- pins. The full-scale input span of the converter is ((VREF+) – (VREF-))/(64Y), where 64 is the gain of the amplifier and Y is 2 for VRS = 0, or Y is 1 for VRS = 1. VRS is the Voltage Reference Select bit, and must be set according to the differential voltage applied to the VREF+ and VREF- pins on the part. See section 2.3.4 for more details. With a 2.5 V reference, the full-scale biploar input range is equal to ±2.5/64, or about ±39 mV. Note that these input ranges assume the calibration registers are set to their default values (i.e. Gain = 1.0 and Offset = 0.0). The gain setting in the Gain Register can be altered to map the digital codes of the converter to set full scales from 1 mV to 40 mV. 2.1.2 Voltage Noise Density Performance Figure 5 illustrates the measured voltage noise density versus frequency from 0.025 Hz to 10 Hz. The device was powered with ±2.5 V supplies, using 30 Sps OWR, bipolar mode, and with the input short bit enabled. 1000 100 0.10 1.00 Frequency (Hz) 10.00 Figure 5. Measured Voltage Noise Density, 64x 2.1.3 No Offset DAC An offset DAC was not included in the CS5530 because the high dynamic range of the converter eliminates the need for one. The offset register can be manipulated by the user to mimic the function of a DAC if desired. 12 The converter has 32-bit registers to function as the offset and the gain calibration registers. These registers hold calibration results. The contents of these registers can be read or written by the user. This allows calibration data to be off-loaded into an external EEPROM. The user can also manipulate the contents of these registers to modify the offset or the gain slope of the converter. The converter includes a 32-bit configuration register which is used for setting options such as the power down modes, resetting the converter, shorting the analog input, enabling logic outputs, and other user options. The following pages document how to initialize the converter and perform offset and gain calibrations. Each of the bits of the configuration register is described. Also the Command Register Quick Reference can be used to decode all valid commands (the first 8-bits into the serial port). 2.2.1 System Initialization 10 1 0.025 2.2 Overview of ADC Register Structure and Operating Modes The CS5530 ADC has an on-chip controller, which includes a number of user-accessible registers. The registers are used to hold offset and gain calibration results, configure the chip's operating modes, hold conversion instructions, and to store conversion data words. Figure 6 depicts a block diagram of the on-chip controller’s internal registers. The CS5530 provide no power-on-reset function. To initialize the ADC, the user must perform a software reset via the configuration register. Before accessing the configuration register, the user must insure serial port synchronization by using the Serial Port Initialization sequence. This sequence resets the serial port to the command mode and is accomplished by transmitting at least 15 SYNC1 command bytes (0xFF hexadecimal), followed by one SYNC0 command (0xFE hexadecimal). Note that this sequence can be initiated at anytime to reinitialize the serial port. To complete the system DS742A4 CS5530 initialization sequence, the user must also perform a system reset sequence which is as follows: Write a logic 1 into the RS bit of the configuration register. This will reset the calibration registers and other logic (but not the serial port). A valid reset will set the RV bit in the configuration register to a logic 1. After writing the RS bit to a logic 1, wait 8 master clock cycles, then write the RS bit back to logic 0. Note that the other bits in the configuration register cannot be written on this write cycle as they are being held in reset until RS is set back to logic 0. While this involves writing an entire word into the configuration register to casue the RS bit to go to logic 0, the RV bit is a read only bit, therefore a write to the configuration register will not overwrite the RV bit. After clearing the RS bit back to logic 0, read the configuration register to check the state of the RV bit as this indicates that a valid reset occurred. Reading the configuration register clears the RV bit back to logic 0. Completing the reset cycle initializes the on-chip registers to the following states: Configuration Register: Offset Register: Gain Register 00000000(H) 00000000(H) 01000000(H) After the configuration register has been read to clear the RV bit, the register can then be written to set the other function bits or other registers can be written or read. Once the system initialization or reset is completed, the on-chip controller is initialized into command mode where it waits for a valid command (the first 8-bits written into the serial port are shifted into the command register). Once a valid command is received and decoded, the byte instructs the converter to either acquire data from or transfer data to an internal register, or perform a conversion or a calibration. The Command Register Descriptions section lists all valid commands.

Figure 7 details the command and data word timing. CS, Chip Select, is the control line which enables access to the serial port. If the CS pin is tied low, the port can function as a three wire interface. SDI, Serial Data In, is the data signal used to transfer data to the converters. SDO, Serial Data Out, is the data signal used to transfer output data from the converters. The SDO output will be held at high impedance any time CS is at logic 1. SCLK, Serial Clock, is the serial bit-clock which controls the shifting of data to or from the ADC’s serial port. The CS pin must be held low (logic 0) before SCLK transitions can be recognized by the port logic. To accommodate optoisolators SCLK is designed with a Schmitt-trigger input to allow an optoisolator with slower rise and fall times to directly drive the pin. Additionally, SDO is capable of sinking or sourcing up to 5 mA to directly drive an optoisolator LED. SDO will have less than a 400 mV loss in the drive voltage when sinking or sourcing 5 mA.

Command and Data Word Timing 16 DS742A4 CS5530 2.2.4 Reading/Writing On-Chip Registers The CS5530’s offset, gain, and configuration registers are readable and writable while the conversion data register is read only. As shown in Figure 7, to write to a particular register the user must transmit the appropriate write command and then follow that command by 32 bits of data. For example, to write 0x80000000 (hexadecimal) to the gain register, the user would first transmit the command byte 0x02 (hexadecimal) followed by the data 0x80000000 (hexadecimal). Similarly, to read a particular register the user must transmit the appropriate read command and then acquire the 32 bits of data. Once a register is written to or read from, the serial port returns to the command mode. 2.3 Configuration Register To ease the architectural design and simplify the serial interface, the configuration register is thirtytwo bits long, however, only fifteen of the thirty two bits are used. The following sections detail the bits in the configuration register. 2.3.1 Power Consumption The CS5530 accommodates three power consumption modes: normal, standby, and sleep. The default mode, “normal mode”, is entered after power is applied. In this mode, the CS5530 typically consumes 35 mW. The other two modes are referred to as the power save modes. They power down most of the analog portion of the chip and stop filter convolutions. The power save modes are entered whenever the power down (PDW) bit of the configuration register is set to logic 1. The particular power save mode entered depends on state of the PSS (Power Save Select) bit. If PSS is logic 0, the converter enters the standby mode reducing the power consumption to 4 mW. The standby mode leaves the oscillator and the on-chip bias generator for the analog portion of the chip active. This allows the converter to quickly return to the normal mode once PDW is set back to a logic 0. If PSS and PDW are DS742A4 both set to logic 1, the sleep mode is entered reducing the consumed power to around 500 µW. Since this sleep mode disables the oscillator, approximately a 20 ms oscillator start-up delay period is required before returning to the normal mode. If an external clock is used, there will be no delay. 2.3.2 System Reset Sequence The reset system (RS) bit permits the user to perform a system reset. A system reset can be initiated at any time by writing a logic 1 to the RS bit in the configuration register. After the RS bit has been set, the internal logic of the chip will be initialized to a reset state. The reset valid (RV) bit is set indicating that the internal logic was properly reset. The RV bit is cleared after the configuration register is read. The on-chip registers are initialized to the following default states: Configuration Register: Offset Register: Gain Register 00000000(H) 00000000(H) 01000000(H) After reset, the RS bit should be written back to logic 0 to complete the reset cycle. The ADC will return to the command mode where it waits for a valid command. Also, the RS bit is the only bit in the configuration register that can be set when initiating a reset (i.e. a second write command is needed to set other bits in the Configuration Register after the RS bit has been cleared). 2.3.3 Input Short The input short bit allows the user to internally ground the inputs of the ADC. This is a useful function because it allows the user to easily test the grounded input performance of the ADC and eliminate the noise effects due to the external system components. 2.3.4 Voltage Reference Select The voltage reference select (VRS) bit selects the size of the sampling capacitor used to sample the voltage reference. The bit should be set based upon 17 CS5530 φ1 Fine φ1 Fine φ2 Coarse VREF C = 14pF Vos ≤ 8 mV in = fV os C MCLK 16 VRS = 1; 1 V ≤ VREF ≤ 2.5 V f= Figure 8. Input Reference Model when VRS = 1 the magnitude of the reference voltage to achieve optimal performance. Figures 8 and 9 model the effects on the reference’s input impedance and input current for each VRS setting. As the models show, the reference includes a coarse/fine charge buffer which reduces the dynamic current demand of the external reference. The reference’s input buffer is designed to accommodate rail-to-rail (common-mode plus signal) input voltages. The differential voltage between the VREF+ and VREF- can be any voltage from 1.0 V up to the analog supply (depending on how VRS is configured), however, the VREF+ cannot go above VA+ and the VREF- pin can not go below VA-. Note that the power supplies to the chip should be established before the reference voltage. 2.3.5 Output Latch Pins The A1-A0 pins of the ADC mimic the D24-D23 bits of the configuration register. A1-A0 can be used to control external multiplexers and other logic functions outside the converter. The A1-A0 outputs can sink or source at least 1 mA, but it is recommended to limit drive currents to less than 20 µA to reduce self-heating of the chip. These outputs are powered from VA+ and VA-. Their output voltage will be limited to the VA+ voltage for a logic 1 and VA- for a logic 0. Note that if the latch bits are used to modify the analog input signal the user should delay performing a conversion until he knows the effects of the A0/A1 bits are fully settled. 18 φ2 Coarse VREF C = 7 pF Vos ≤ 16 mV i n = fV os C MCLK 16 VRS = 0; 2.5 V < VREF ≤ VA+ f= Figure 9. Input Reference Model when VRS = 0 2.3.6 Filter Rate Select The Filter Rate Select bit (FRS) modifies the output word rates of the converter to allow either 50 Hz or 60 Hz rejection when operating from a 4.9152 MHz crystal. If FRS is cleared to logic 0, the word rates and corresponding filter characteristics can be selected using the Configuration Register. Rates can be 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, 960, 1920, or 3840 Sps when using a 4.9152 MHz clock. If FRS is set to logic 1, the word rates and corresponding filter characteristics scale by a factor of 5/6, making the selectable word rates 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 Sps when using a 4.9152 MHz clock. When using other clock frequencies, these selectable word rates will scale linearly with the clock frequency that is used. 2.3.7 Word Rate Select The Word Rate Select bits (WR3-WR0) allow slection of the output word rate of the converter as depicted in the Configuration Register Descriptions. The word rate chosen by the WR3-WR0 bits is modified by the setting of the FRS bit as presented in the previous paragraph. 2.3.8 Unipolar/Bipolar Select The UP/BP Select bit sets the converter to measure either a unipolar or bipolar input span. 2.3.9 Open Circuit Detect When the OCD bit is set it activates a current source as a means to test for open thermocouples.

The CS5530 provides system calibration. Note: After the ADC is reset, it is functional and can perform measurements without being calibrated (remember that the VRS bit in the configuration register must be properly configured). If the converter is operated without calibraton, the converter will utilize the initialized values of the on-chip registers (Offset = 0.0; Gain = 1.0) to calculate output words. Any initial offset and gain errors in the internal circuitry of the chip will remain. the unipolar span, gain register = 1.000...000 decimal). The MSB in the offset register determines if the offset to be trimmed is positive or negative (0 positive, 1 negative). Note that the magnitude of the offset that is trimmed from the input is mapped through the gain register. The converter can typically trim ±100 percent of the input span. As shown in the Gain Register section, the gain register spans from 0 to (64 - 2-24). The decimal equivalent meaning of the gain register is 29 D = b D29 5 2 +b D28 4 2 +b D27 3 2 +…+b D0 2 – 24 ∑ bDi 2 ) = ( – 24 + i ) i=0 2.4.1 Calibration Registers The CS5530 converter has an offset register that is used to set the zero point of the converter’s transfer function. As shown in Offset Register section, one LSB in the offset register is 1.835007966 X 2-24 proportion of the input span (bipolar span is 2 times where the binary numbers have a value of either zero or one (bD29 is the binary value of bit D29). While gain register settings of up to 64 - 2-24 are available, the gain register should never be set to values above 40. 2.4.2 Gain Register Decimal Point MSB NU D30 NU D29 D28 D27 D26 D25 D24 D23 D22 D21 D20 D19 D18 D17 D16 25 24 23 22 21 20 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 2-5 2-6 2-7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2-8 0 D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 LSB 2-9 2-10 2-11 2-12 2-13 2-14 2-15 2-16 2-17 2-18 2-19 2-20 2-21 222 2-23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2-24 0 The gain register span is from 0 to (64-2-24).

Offset and data word bits align by MSB. After reset, all bits are ‘0’. The offset register is stored as a 32-bit, two’s complement number, where the last 8 bits are all 0. DS742A4 21 CS5530 2.4.4 Performing Calibrations To perform a calibration, the user must send a command byte with its MSB=1, and the appropriate calibration bits (CC2-CC0) set to choose the type of calibration to be performed. The calibration will be performed using the filter rate, and siganl span (unipolar or bipolar) as set in the configuration register. The length of time it takes to do a calibration is slightly less than the amount of time it takes to do a single conversion (see Table 1 for single conversion timing). Offset calibration takes 608 clock cycles less than a single conversion when FRS = 0, and 729 clock cycles less when FRS = 1. Gain calibration takes 128 clock cycles less than a single conversion when FRS = 0, and 153 clock cycles less when FRS = 1. Once a calibration cycle is complete, SDO falls and the results are automatically stored in either the gain or offset register. SDO will remain low until the next command word is begun. If additional calibrations are performed while referencing the same calibration registers, the last calibration results will replace the effects from the previous calibration. Only one calibration is performed with each command byte. 2.4.5 System Calibration For the system calibration functions, the user must supply the converter input calibration signals which Figure 10. System Calibration of Offset 22 represent ground and full-scale. When a system offset calibration is performed, a ground referenced signal must be applied to the converter. Figure 10 illustrates system offset calibration. As shown in Figure 11, the user must input a signal representing the positive full-scale point to perform a system gain calibration. In either case, the calibration signals must be within the specified calibration limits for each specific calibration step (refer to the System Calibration Specifications). 2.4.6 Calibration Tips Calibration steps are performed at the output word rate selected by the WR3-WR0 bits of the configuration register. To minimize the effects of peak-topeak noise on the accuracy of calibration the converter should be calibrated using the slowest word rate that is acceptable. It is recommended that word rates of 240 Sps and higher not be used for calibration.) To minimize digital noise near the device, the user should wait for each calibration step to be completed before reading or writing to the serial port. Reading the calibration registers and averaging multiple calibrations together can produce a more accurate calibration result. Note that accessing the ADC’s serial port before a calibration has finished may result in the loss of synchronization between the microcontroller and the ADC, and may prematurely halt the calibration cycle. Figure 11. System Calibration of Gain DS742A4 CS5530 For maximum accuracy, calibrations should be performed for both offset and gain. FSCR, margin is again incorporated to accommodate the intrinsic gain error. When the device is used without calibration, the uncalibrated gain accuracy is about ±1 percent. Note that the gain from the offset register to the output is 1.83007966 decimal, not 1. If a user wants to adjust the calibration coefficients externally, they will need to divide the information to be written to the offset register by the scale factor of 1.83007966. (This discussion assumes that the gain register is 1.000...000 decimal. The offset register is also multiplied by the gain register before being applied to the output conversion words). 2.5 Performing Conversions The CS5530 offers two distinctly different conversion modes. The paragraphs that follow detail the differences in the conversion modes. 2.4.7 Limitations in Calibration Range System calibration can be limited by signal headroom in the analog signal path inside the chip as discussed under the Analog Input section of this data sheet. For gain calibration, the full-scale input signal can be reduced to 3% of the nominal fullscale value. At this point, the gain register is approximately equal to 33.33 (decimal). While the gain register can hold numbers all the way up to 64 - 2-24, gain register settings above a decimal value of 40 should not be used. With the converter’s intrinsic gain error, this minimum full-scale input signal may be higher or lower. In defining the minimum full-scale Calibration Range (FSCR) under Analog Characteristics, margin is retained to accommodate the intrinsic gain error. Inversely, the input full-scale signal can be increased to a point in which the modulator reaches its 1’s density limit of 86 percent, which under nominal conditions occurs when the full-scale input signal is 1.1 times the nominal full-scale value. With the chip’s intrinsic gain error, this maximum full-scale input signal maybe higher or lower. In defining the maximum DS742A4 2.5.1 Single Conversion Mode When the user transmits the perform single conversion command, a single, fully settled conversion is performed using the word rate and polarity selections set in the configuration register. Once the command byte is transmitted, the serial port enters data mode where it waits until the conversion is complete. When the conversion data is available, SDO falls to logic 0 to act as a flag to indicate that the data is available. Forty SCLKs are then needed to read the conversion data word. The first 8 SCLKs are used to clear the SDO flag. During the first 8 SCLKs, SDI must be logic 0. The last 32 SCLKs are needed to read the conversion result. Note that the user is forced to read the conversion in single conversion mode as the serial port will remain in data mode until SCLK transitions 40 times. After reading the data, the serial port returns to the command mode, where it waits for a new command to be issued. The single conversion mode will take longer than conversions performed in the continuous conversion mode. The number of clock cycles a single conversion takes for each Output Word Rate (OWR) setting is listed in Table 1. The ± 8 (FRS = 0) or ± 10 (FRS = 1) clock ambiguity is due to internal synchronization between the SCLK input and the oscillator. Note: In the single conversion mode, more than one conversion is actually performed, but only the final, fully settled result is output to the conversion data register. 23 CS5530 Table 1.

The number of clock cycles a continuous conversion takes for each Output Word Setting is listed in Table 2. The first conversion from the part in continuous conversion mode will be longer than the following conversions due to start-up overhead. The ± 8 (FRS = 0) or ± 10 (FRS = 1) clock ambiguity is due to internal synchronization between the SCLK input and the oscillator. Note: 2.5.2 Continuous Conversion Mode When the user transmits the perform continuous conversion command, the converter begins continuous conversions using the word rate and polarity selections set in the configuration register. Once the command byte is transmitted, the serial port enters data mode where it waits until a conversion is complete. After the conversion is done, SDO falls to logic 0 to act as a flag to indicate that the data is available. Forty SCLKs are then needed to read the conversion. The first 8 SCLKs are used to clear the SDO flag. The last 32 SCLKs are needed to read the conversion result. If ‘00000000’ is provided to SDI during the first 8 SCLKs when the SDO flag is cleared, the converter remains in this conversion mode and continues to convert using the same word rate and polarity information. In continuous conversion mode, not every conversion word needs to be read. The user needs only to read the conversion words required for the application as SDO rises and falls to indicate the availability of new conversion data. Note that if a conversion is not read before the next conversion data becomes available, it will be lost and replaced by the new conversion data. To exit this conversion mode, the user must provide ‘11111111’ to the SDI pin during the first 8 SCLKs after SDO falls. If the user decides to exit, 32 24 When changing channels, or after performing calibrations and/or single conversions, the user must ignore the first three (for OWRs less than 3200 Sps, MCLK = 4.9152 MHz) or first five (for OWR ≥ 3200 Sps) conversions in continuous conversion mode, as residual filter coefficients must be flushed from the filter before accurate conversions are performed.

Multiple CS5530 devices can be synchronized in a single system by using the following guidelines: 1) All of the ADCs in the system must be operated from the same oscillator source. 2) All of the ADCs in the system must share common SCLK and SDI lines. 3) A software reset must be performed at the same time for all of the ADCs after system power-up (by selecting all of the ADCs using their respective CS pins, and writing the reset sequence to all parts, using SDI and SCLK). 4) A start conversion command must be sent to all of the ADCs in the system at the same time. The ± 8 clock cycles of ambiguity for the first conversion (or for a single conversion) will be the same for all ADCs, provided that they were all reset at the same time. 5) Conversions can be obtained by monitoring SDO on only one ADC, (bring CS high for all but one part) and reading the data out of each part individually, before the next conversion data words are ready. An example of a synchronous system using two CS5530 devices is shown in Figure 12. 2.7 Conversion Output Coding The CS5530 outputs 24-bit data conversion words. To read a conversion word the user must read the conversion data register. The conversion data register is 32 bits long and outputs the conversions MSB first. The last byte of the conversion data register contains an overflow flag bit. The overrange flag (OF) monitors to determine if a valid conversion was performed.
