ISL26320, ISL26321, ISL26322, ISL26323, ISL26324, ISL26325, ISL26329
12-Bit, 250kSPS Low-Power ADCs with Single-Ended and Differential Inputs and Multiple Input
Channels
The ISL26320, ISL26321, ISL26322, ISL26323, ISL26324,
ISL26325 and ISL26329 family of sampling SAR-type ADCs
feature excellent linearity over supply and temperature
variations, and offer versions with 1-, 2-, 4- and 8-channel
single-ended inputs, and 1-, 2- and 4-channel differential
inputs. A proprietary input multiplexer and combination buffer
amplifier reduces the input drive requirements, resulting in
lower cost and reduced board space. Specified measurement
accuracy is maintained with input signals up to VDD.
Members of the The ISL26320, ISL26321, ISL26322,
ISL26323, ISL26324, ISL26325 and ISL26329 family of
Low-Power ADCs offer pinout intercompatibility, differing only
in the analog inputs, to support quick replication of proven
layouts across multiple design platforms.
The serial digital interface is SPI compatible and is easily
interfaced to popular FPGAs and microcontrollers. Power
consumption is limited to 15mW at a sampling rate of
250kSPS, and an operating current of just 8µA typical
between conversions, when configured for Auto Power-down
mode.

NOTES:
6. Compliance to datasheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization and/or design.
7. The device may become nonresponsive if the minimum acquisition times are not met in their respective modes, requiring a power cycle to restore
normal operation.
8. Transition time to high impedance state is dominated by RC loading on the SDOUT pin. Specified value is measured using equivalent loading shown
in Figure 2.

Circuit Description
The ISL26320, ISL26321, ISL26322, ISL26323, ISL26324,
ISL26325 and ISL26329 families of 12-bit ADCs are low-power
Successive Approximation-type (SAR) ADCs with 1-, 2-, 4-, or
8-channels and a choice of single-ended or differential inputs.
The high-impedance buffered input simplifies interfacing to
sensors and external circuitry.
The entire ISL26320, ISL26321, ISL26322, ISL26323,
ISL26324, ISL26325, ISL26329 families follow the same base
pinout and differs only in the analog input pins, allowing the user
to replicate the basic board layout across multiple platforms with
a minimum redesign effort.
The simple serial digital interface is compatible with popular
FPGAs and microcontrollers and allows direct conversion control
by the CNV pin.
Functional Description
The ISL26320, ISL26321, ISL26322, ISL26323, ISL26324,
ISL26325 and ISL26329 devices are SAR (Successive
Approximation Register) analog-to-digital converters that use
capacitor-based charge redistribution as their conversion
method.
These devices include an on-chip power-on reset (POR) circuit to
initialize the internal digital logic when power is applied. An
on-chip oscillator provides the master clock for the conversion
logic. The CNV signal controls when the converter enters into its
signal acquisition time (CNV = 0), and when it begins the
conversion sequence after the signal has been captured
(CNV = 1). The converters include a configuration register that
can be accessed via the serial port. The configuration register
has various bits to indicate which channel (where applicable) is
selected, to activate the auto-power-down feature where the ADC
is shut down between conversions, or to output the configuration
register contents along with the data conversion word whenever
a conversion word is read from the serial port. The serial port
The ISL26320, the ISL26322, and the ISL26324 feature
differential inputs with output data coding in two's complement
format (see Table 1). The size of one LSB in these devices is
(2*VREF)/4096. Figure 21 illustrates the ideal transfer function
for these devices.
The ISL26321, ISL26323, ISL26325, and ISL26329 feature
single-ended inputs with output coding in binary format
(see Table 2). The size of one LSB in these devices is VREF/4096.
Figure 22 illustrates the ideal transfer function for these devices.

Figures 19 and 20 illustrate simplified representations of the
converter analog section for differential and single-ended
inputs, respectively. During the acquisition phase (CNV = 0) the
input signal is presented to the Cs samples capacitors. To
properly sample the signal, the CNV signal must remain low for
the specified time. When CNV is taken high (CNV = 1), the
switches that connect the sampling capacitors to the input are
opened and the control logic begins the successive
approximation sequence to convert the captured signal into a
digital word. The conversion sequence timing is determined by
the on-chip oscillator.

supports three different modes of reading the conversion data.
These will be discussed later in this data sheet.

Some members of the ISL26320, ISL26321, ISL26322,
ISL26323, ISL26324, ISL26325 and ISL26329 family feature a
fully differential input with a nominal full-scale range equal to
twice the applied VREF voltage. Those devices with differential
inputs have a nominal full scale range equal to twice the applied
VREF voltage. Each input swings VREF volts (peak-to-peak), 180°
out of phase from one another for a total differential input of
2*VREF (refer to Figures 23 and 24).

Differential signaling offers several benefits over a single-ended
input, such as:
• Doubling of the full-scale input range (and therefore the
dynamic range)
• Improved even order harmonic distortion
• Better noise immunity due to common mode rejection
Figure 24 shows the relationship between the reference voltage
and the full-scale differential input range for two different values
of VREF. Note that the common-mode input voltage must be
maintained within ±200mV of VREF/2 for differential inputs.

Figures 27 and 28 illustrate possible voltage reference options

An external reference voltage must be supplied to theVREF pin to set
the full-scale input range of the converter. The VREF input on these
devices can accept voltages ranging from 2V (nominal) to VDD,
however, they are specified with VREF at a voltage of 5V with VDD at
5V. Note that exceeding VDD by more than 100mV can forward bias
the ESD protection diodes and degrade measurement accuracy due
to leakage current. A lower value voltage reference must be used if
the device is operated with VDD at voltages lower than 5V. If the
VREF pin is tied to the VDD pin, the VREF pin should be decoupled
with a local 1µF ceramic capacitor as described in a later paragraph.

Figure 28 illustrates the ISL21010 voltage reference used with
these ADCs. The ISL21010 series voltage references have higher
noise and drift than the ISL21090 devices, but operate at lower
supply voltages. Therefore, these devices can readily be used
when these SAR ADCs operate with VDD at voltages less than 5V.

Input Multiplexer
The input of the multiplexer connects the selected analog input
pins to the ADC input. A proprietary sampling circuit significantly
reduces the input drive requirements, resulting in lower overall
cost and board space in addition to improved performance. Note
that the input capacitance is only 2-3pF during the Sampling
phase, changing to 40pF during the Settling phase, resulting in
an average input current of 2.5µA and an effective input
capacitance of only 4pF (see Figure 26).

The outputs of ISL21090 or the ISL21010 devices should be
decoupled with a 1µF ceramic capacitor. A 1µF, 6.3 V, X7R, 0603
(1608 metric) MLCC type capacitor is recommended for its high
frequency performance. The trace length from the VREF pin to
this capacitor and the voltage reference output should be as
short as possible.
The ISL26320 and ISL26323 devices (packaged in 8 pin SOIC
packages) derive their voltage reference from the VDD pin. To
achieve best performance, the VDD pin of these devices should
be bypassed with the 1µF ceramic capacitor mentioned above.
Power-Down/Standby Modes
In order to reduce power consumption between conversions, a
number of user-selectable modes can be utilized by setting the
appropriate bits in the Configuration Register.
Auto Power-down (PD0 = 0) reduces power consumption by
shutting down all portions of the device except the oscillator and
digital interface after completion of a conversion. There is a short
recovery period after CNV is asserted Low (150µs with external
reference).
In Auto Sleep mode (PD1 = 1), the device will automatically enter
the low-power Sleep mode at the end of the current conversion.
Recovery from this mode involves only 2.1µs and may offer an
alternative to Power-down mode in some applications.

The converter output word is delivered in two’s complement
format in differential input mode, and straight binary in
single-ended input mode of operation respectively, all MSB-first.
Input exceeding the specified full-scale voltage results in a clipped
output which will not return to in-range values until after the input
signal has returned to the specified allowable voltage range.
Data must be read prior to the completion of the current
conversion to avoid conflict and loss of data, due to overwriting of
the new conversion data into the output register.
