PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD7440/AD7450A1 are 10-bit and 12-bit high speed, low  
power, successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital  
converters with a fully differential analog input. These parts  
operate from a single 3 V or 5 V power supply and use advanced  
design techniques to achieve very low power dissipation at  
throughput rates up to 1 MSPS. The SAR architecture of these  
parts ensures that there are no pipeline delays.  
1. Operation with either 3 V or 5 V power supplies.  
2. High throughput with low power consumption.  
With a 3 V supply, the AD7440/AD7450A offer 4 mW  
max power consumption for 1 MSPS throughput.  
3. Fully differential analog input.  
4. Flexible power/serial clock speed management.  
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock,  
allowing the power to be reduced as the conversion time  
is reduced through the serial clock speed increase. These  
parts also feature a shutdown mode to maximize power  
efficiency at lower throughput rates.  
The parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth, differential  
track-and-hold amplifier (T/H) that can handle input  
frequencies up to 3.5 MHz. The reference voltage is applied  
externally to the VREF pin and can be varied from 100 mV to  
3.5 V depending on the power supply and what suits the  
application. The value of the reference voltage determines the  
common-mode voltage range of the part. With this truly  
differential input structure and variable reference input, the user  
can select a variety of input ranges and bias points.  
5. Variable voltage reference input.  
6. No pipeline delay.

3 Measured with the load circuit of Figure 4 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V with VDD = 5 V or 0.4 V or 2.0 V for VDD = 3 V.  
4 t8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 4. The measured number is then extrapolated  
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 25 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t8, quoted in the Timing Specifications is the true bus relinquish  
time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

ESD CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the  
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features  
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy  
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance  
degradation or loss of functionality.

reference is 2.5 V ( 1ꢀ) for specified performance. For a 3 V power supply, the reference is 2 V ( 1ꢀ) for specified  
performance. This pin should be decoupled to GND with a capacitor of at least 0.1 µF. See the Reference section for more  
details.  
VIN+  
VIN–  
Positive Terminal for Differential Analog Input.  
Negative Terminal for Differential Analog Input.  
GND  
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all circuitry on the AD7440/AD7450A. All analog input signals and any external  
reference signal should be referred to this GND voltage.  
CS  
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating a conversion on the AD7440/AD7450A  
and framing the serial data transfer.  
SDATA  
Serial Data. Logic output. The conversion result from the AD7440/AD7450A is provided on this output as a serial data stream.  
The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data stream of the AD7450A consists of four leading zeros  
followed by the 12 bits of conversion data, which are provided MSB first; the data stream of the AD7440 consists of four  
leading zeros, followed by the 10 bits of conversion data, followed by two trailing zeros. In both cases, the output coding is  
twos complement.  
SCLK  
VDD  
Serial Clock. Logic input. SCLK provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part. This clock input is also used as the  
clock source for the conversion process.  
Power Supply Input. VDD is 3 V (+20ꢀ/–10ꢀ) or 5 V ( 5ꢀ). This supply should be decoupled to GND with a 0.1 µF capacitor  
and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel.

AD7440/AD7450A  
TERMINOLOGY  
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio  
The AD7440/AD7450A is tested using the CCIF standard of  
two input frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth.  
In this case, the second-order terms are distanced in frequency  
from the original sine waves, while the third-order terms are at  
a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the  
second- and third-order terms are specified separately. The  
calculation of the intermodulation distortion is as per the THD  
specification, where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the  
individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum  
of the fundamentals, expressed in dB.  
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the  
output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the  
fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals  
up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The  
ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the  
digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quanti-  
zation noise. The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio  
for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by  
the following:  
Aperture Delay  
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02N + 1.76)dB.  
This is the amount of time from the leading edge of the  
sampling clock until the ADC actually takes the sample.  
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB; and for a 10-bit  
converter, this is 62 dB.  
Aperture Jitter  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
This is the sample-to-sample variation in the effective point in  
time at which the actual sample is taken.  
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the  
fundamental. For the AD7440/AD7450A, it is defined as

THD(dB) = 20 log  
The full power bandwidth of an ADC is the input frequency at  
which the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is  
reduced by 0.1 dB or 3 dB for a full-scale input.  
V

where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3,  
V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second to the sixth  
harmonics.  
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)  
The common-mode rejection ratio is the ratio of the power  
in the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a  
100 mV p-p sine wave applied to the common-mode voltage of  
VIN+ and VIN– of frequency fS as follows:  
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise  
Peak harmonic (spurious noise) is the ratio of the rms value of  
the next largest component in the ADC output spectrum (up to  
fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the fundamental.  
Normally, the value of this specification is determined by the  
largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for ADCs where the  
harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it is a noise peak.  
CMRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/Pfs)  
Pf is the power at the frequency f in the ADC output; Pfs is the  
power at frequency fS in the ADC output.  
Intermodulation Distortion  
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)  
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies,  
fa and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion  
products at the sum and difference frequencies of mfa nfb  
where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion  
terms are those for which neither m nor n is equal to 0. For  
example, the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb),  
while the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb),  
(fa + 2fb), and (fa – 2fb).  
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing  
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal  
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.  
Zero-Code Error  
This is the deviation of the midscale code transition  
(111...111 to 000...000) from the ideal VIN+ − VIN– (i.e., 0 LSB).  
Rev. B | Page 10 of 28  
 
AD7440/AD7450A  
Positive Gain Error  
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)  
This is the deviation of the last code transition (011...110 to  
011...111) from the ideal VIN+ – VIN– (i.e., +VREF − 1 LSB), after  
the zero code error has been adjusted out.  
The power supply rejection ratio is the ratio of the power in  
the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a  
100 mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC VDD supply of  
frequency fS. The frequency of this input varies from 1 kHz to  
1 MHz.  
Negative Gain Error  
This is the deviation of the first code transition (100...000 to  
100...001) from the ideal VIN+ − VIN– (i.e., –VREF + 1 LSB),  
after the zero code error has been adjusted out.  
PSRR (dB) = 10log(Pf/PfS)  
Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output; Pfs is the  
power at frequency fS in the ADC output.  
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time  
The track-and-hold acquisition time is the minimum time  
required for the track-and-hold amplifier to remain in track  
mode for its output to reach and settle to within 0.5 LSB of the  
applied input signal.

AD7440/AD7450A  
CIRCUIT INFORMATION  
The AD7440/AD7450A are 10-bit and 12-bit fast, low power,  
single-supply, successive approximation analog-to-digital  
converters (ADCs). They can operate with a 5 V or 3 V power  
supply and are capable of throughput rates up to 1 MSPS when  
supplied with an 18 MHz SCLK. They require an external  
reference to be applied to the VREF pin, with the value of the  
reference chosen depending on the power supply and what suits  
the application.  
When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 24), SW3 opens and  
SW1 and SW2 move to Position B, causing the comparator to  
become unbalanced. Both inputs are disconnected once the  
conversion begins. The control logic and the charge redistri-  
bution DACs are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of  
charge from the sampling capacitor arrays to bring the compar-  
ator back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is  
rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic  
generates the ADCs output code. The output impedances of the  
sources driving the VIN+ and the VIN– pins must be matched;  
otherwise, the two inputs have different settling times, resulting  
in errors.  
When they are operated with a 5 V supply, the maximum  
reference that can be applied is 3.5 V. When they are operated  
with a 3 V supply, the maximum reference that can be applied is  
2.2 V (see the Reference section).  
CAPACITIVE  
DAC  
The AD7440/AD7450A have an on-chip differential track-and-  
hold amplifier, a successive approximation (SAR) ADC, and a  
serial interface, housed in either an 8-lead SOT-23 or an MSOP  
package. The serial clock input accesses data from the part and  
provides the clock source for the successive approximation  
ADC. The AD7440/AD7450A feature a power-down option for  
reduced power consumption between conversions. The power-  
down feature is implemented across the standard serial interface  
as described in the Modes of Operation section.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION  
CONVERTER OPERATION  
The output coding for the AD7440/AD7450A is twos  
complement. The designed code transitions occur at successive  
LSB values (1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on). The LSB size of the  
AD7450A is 2 × VREF/4096, and the LSB size of the AD7440 is  
2 × VREF/1024. The ideal transfer characteristic of the  
AD7440/AD7450A is shown in Figure 25.  
The AD7440/AD7450A are successive approximation ADCs  
based around two capacitive DACs. Figure 23 and Figure 24  
show simplified schematics of the ADC in acquisition and  
conversion phase, respectively. The ADC is comprised of  
control logic, an SAR, and two capacitive DACs. In Figure 23  
(acquisition phase), SW3 is closed, SW1 and SW2 are in  
Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition,  
and the sampling capacitor arrays acquire the differential  
signal on the input.

AD7440/AD7450A  
The common mode is the average of the two signals, that is,  
(VIN+ + VIN–)/2 and is therefore the voltage that the two inputs  
are centered on. This results in the span of each input being  
CM VREF/2. This voltage has to be set up externally, and its  
range varies with VREF. As the value of VREF increases, the  
common-mode range decreases. When driving the inputs with  
an amplifier, the actual common-mode range is determined by  
the amplifiers output voltage swing.  
TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM  
Figure 26 shows a typical connection diagram for the  
AD7440/AD7450A for both 5 V and 3 V supplies. In this setup,  
the GND pin is connected to the analog ground plane of the  
system. The VREF pin is connected to either a 2.5 V or a 2 V  
decoupled reference source, depending on the power supply, to  
set up the analog input range. The common-mode voltage has  
to be set up externally and is the value on which the two inputs  
are centered. The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word  
with 4 leading zeros followed by the MSB of the 12-bit or 10-bit  
result. The 10-bit result of the AD7440 is followed by 2 trailing  
zeros. For more details on driving the differential inputs and  
setting up the common mode, refer to the Driving Differential  
Inputs section.  
Figure 28 and Figure 29 show how the common-mode range  
typically varies with VREF for both a 5 V and a 3 V power supply.  
The common mode must be in this range to guarantee the  
functionality of the AD7440/AD7450A.  
For ease of use, the common mode can be set up to equal VREF  
,
resulting in the differential signal being VREF centered on VREF  
.

ANALOG INPUT  
The analog input of the AD7440/AD7450A is fully differential.  
Differential signals have a number of benefits over single-  
ended signals, including noise immunity based on the device’s  
common-mode rejection, improvements in distortion perfor-  
mance, doubling of the devices available dynamic range, and  
flexibility in input ranges and bias points. Figure 27 defines the  
fully differential analog input of the AD7440/AD7450A.

The amplitude of the differential signal is the difference  
between the signals applied to the VIN+ and VIN– pins  
(i.e., VIN+ – VIN–). VIN+ and VIN– are simultaneously driven by two  
signals each of amplitude VREF that are 180° out of phase. The  
amplitude of the differential signal is therefore –VREF to +VREF  
peak-to-peak (2 × VREF). This is true regardless of the common  
mode (CM).

Figure 30 shows examples of the inputs to VIN+ and VIN– for  
different values of VREF for VDD = 5 V. It also gives the maximum  
and minimum common-mode voltages for each reference value  
according to Figure 28.  
For ac applications, removing high frequency components from  
the analog input signal through the use of an RC low-pass filter  
on the relevant analog input pins is recommended. In applica-  
tions where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are  
critical, the analog input should be driven from a low impe-  
dance source. Large source impedances significantly affect the  
ac performance of the ADC. This may necessitate the use of an  
input buffer amplifier. The choice of op amp is a function of the  
particular application.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source  
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum  
source impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic  
distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as  
the source impedance increases, and performance degrades.

Figure 31 shows the equivalent circuit of the analog input  
structure of the AD7440/AD7450A. The four diodes provide  
ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to  
ensure that the analog input signals never exceed the supply  
rails by more than 300 mV. This causes these diodes to become  
forward biased and start conducting into the substrate. These  
diodes can conduct up to 10 mA without causing irreversible  
damage to the part. The capacitors, C1 in Figure 31, are typically  
4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The  
resistors are lumped components made up of the on resistance  
of the switches. The value of these resistors is typically about  
100 Ω. The capacitors, C2, are the ADCs sampling capacitors  
and have a capacitance of 16 pF typically.

of switched capacitance on the front end of the ADCs. The RC  
low-pass filter on each analog input is recommended in ac  
applications to remove high frequency components of the  
analog input. The architecture of the AD8138 results in outputs  
that are very highly balanced over a wide frequency range  
without requiring tightly matched external components.  
DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS  
Differential operation requires VIN+ and VIN– to be driven  
simultaneously with two equal signals that are 180° out of  
phase. The common mode must be set up externally and has a  
range determined by VREF, the power supply, and the particular  
amplifier used to drive the analog inputs (see Figure 28 and  
Figure 29). Differential modes of operation with either an ac or  
dc input provide the best THD performance over a wide  
frequency range. Because not all applications have a signal  
preconditioned for differential operation, there is often a need  
to perform single-ended-to-differential conversion.  
If the analog input source being used has zero impedance, all  
four resistors (RG1, RG2, RF1, and RF2) should be the same. If  
the source has a 50 Ω impedance and a 50 Ω termination, for  
example, the value of RG2 should be increased by 25 Ω to  
balance this parallel impedance on the input and thus ensure  
that both the positive and negative analog inputs have the same  
gain (see Figure 34). The outputs of the amplifier are perfectly  
matched, balanced differential outputs of identical amplitude  
and are exactly 180° out of phase.  
Differential Amplifier  
An ideal method of applying differential drive to the  
AD7440/AD7450A is to use a differential amplifier such as the  
AD8138. This part can be used as a single-ended-to-differential  
amplifier or as a differential-to-differential amplifier. In both  
cases, the analog input needs to be bipolar. It also provides  
common-mode level shifting and buffering of the bipolar input  
signal. Figure 34 shows how the AD8138 can be used as a  
single-ended-to-differential amplifier. The positive and negative  
outputs of the AD8138 are connected to the respective inputs  
on the ADC via a pair of series resistors to minimize the effects  
The AD8138 is specified with +3 V, +5 V, and 5 V power  
supplies, but the best results are obtained with a 5 V supply.  
The AD8132 is a lower cost device that could also be used in  
this configuration with slight differences in characteristics to  
the AD8138 but with similar performance and operation.

Take care when choosing the op amp; the selection depends on  
the required power supply and system performance objectives.  
The driver circuits in Figure 35 and Figure 36 are optimized for  
dc coupling applications requiring best distortion performance.  
RF Transformer  
An RF transformer with a center tap offers a good solution for  
generating differential inputs in systems that do not need to  
be dc-coupled. Figure 37 shows how a transformer is used for  
single-ended-to-differential conversion. It provides the benefits  
of operating the ADC in the differential mode without contri-  
buting additional noise and distortion. An RF transformer also  
has the benefit of providing electrical isolation between the  
signal source and the ADC. A transformer can be used for most  
ac applications. The center tap is used to shift the differential  
signal to the common-mode level required; in this case, it is  
connected to the reference so the common-mode level is the  
value of the reference.  
The circuit configuration shown in Figure 35 converts a  
unipolar, single-ended signal into a differential signal.  
The differential op amp driver circuit in Figure 36 is configured  
to convert and level shift a single-ended, ground-referenced  
(bipolar) signal to a differential signal centered at the VREF level  
of the ADC.

VIN max = VDD + 0.3  
VIN max = VREF + VREF/2  
If VDD = 5 V, then VIN max = 5.3 V.  
SINGLE-ENDED OPERATION  
Therefore  
When supplied with a 5 V power supply, the AD7440/AD7450A  
can handle a single-ended input. The design of these devices is  
optimized for differential operation, so with a single-ended  
input, performance degrades. Linearity degrades by typically  
0.2 LSB, the full-scale errors degrade typically by 1 LSB, and ac  
performance is not guaranteed.  
3 × VREF/2 = 5.3 V  
VREF max = 3.5 V  
Thus, when operating at VDD = 5 V, the value of VREF can range  
from 100 mV to a maximum value of 3.5 V. When VDD = 4.75 V,  
VREF max = 3.17 V.  
Example 2  
To operate the AD7440/AD7450A in single-ended mode, the  
VIN+ input is coupled to the signal source, while the VIN– input is  
biased to the appropriate voltage corresponding to the midscale  
code transition. This voltage is the common mode, which is a  
fixed dc voltage (usually the reference). The VIN+ input swings  
around this value and should have a voltage span of 2 × VREF to  
make use of the full dynamic range of the part. The input signal  
therefore has peak-to-peak values of common mode VREF. If  
the analog input is unipolar, an op amp in a noninverting unity  
gain configuration can be used to drive the VIN+ pin. The ADC  
operates from a single supply, so it is necessary to level shift  
ground-based bipolar signals to comply with the input  
VIN max = VDD + 0.3  
VIN max = VREF + VREF/2  
If VDD = 3 V, then VIN max = 3.3 V.  
Therefore,  
3 × VREF/2 = 3.3 V  
V
REF max = 2.2 V  
Thus, when operating at VDD = 3 V, the value of VREF can range  
from 100 mV to a maximum value of 2.2 V. When VDD = 2.7 V,  
VREF max = 2 V.  
requirements. An op amp can be configured to rescale and level  
shift the ground-based bipolar signal, so it is compatible with  
the selected input range of the AD7440/AD7450A (Figure 39).

microcontroller. The remaining data is then clocked out on the  
subsequent SCLK falling edges beginning with the second  
leading zero. Thus, the first falling clock edge on the serial clock  
provides the second leading zero. The final bit in the data  
transfer is valid on the 16th falling edge, having been clocked  
out on the previous (15th) falling edge. Once the conversion is  
complete and the data has been accessed after the 16 clock  
cycles, it is important to ensure that before the next conversion  
is initiated, enough time is left to meet the acquisition and  
quiet time specifications (see Timing Examples 1 and 2). To  
achieve 1 MSPS with an 18 MHz clock for VDD = 3 V and 5 V, an  
18-clock burst performs the conversion and leaves enough time  
before the next conversion for the acquisition and quiet time.

This mode is intended for use in applications where slower  
throughput rates are required; either the ADC is powered down  
between each conversion, or a series of conversions may be  
performed at a high throughput rate and the ADC is then  
powered down for a relatively long duration between these  
bursts of conversions. When the AD7440/AD7450A are in the  
power-down mode, all analog circuitry is powered down. To

Once supplies are applied to the AD7440/AD7450A, the power-  
up time is the same as that when powering up from power-

powers up in normal mode. It is not necessary to wait 1 µs  
before executing a dummy cycle to ensure the desired mode of  
operation. Instead, the dummy cycle can occur directly after  
power is supplied to the ADC. If the first valid conversion is

one dummy cycle is always sufficient to allow the device to

CS  
applied after the falling edge of . However, when the ADC  
powers up initially after supplies are applied, the track-and-hold  
is already in track mode. Assuming the user has the facility to  
monitor the ADC supply current, this means the ADC powers  
up in the desired mode of operation, and thus a dummy cycle is  
not required to change mode. A dummy cycle is therefore not  
required to place the track-and-hold into track mode.

When running at the maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, the  
AD7440/AD7450A power up and acquire a signal within  
0.5 LSB in one dummy cycle, 1 µs. When powering up from  
the power-down mode with a dummy cycle, as in Figure 43, the  
track-and-hold, which was in hold mode while the part was  
powered down, returns to track mode after the first SCLK edge  
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE  
By using the power-down mode on the AD7440/AD7450A  
when not converting, the average power consumption of the  
ADC decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 44 shows how,  
as the throughput rate is reduced, the device remains in its  
power-down state longer and the average power consumption is  
reduced accordingly for both 5 V and 3 V power supplies.  
CS  
the part receives after the falling edge of . This is shown as  
Point A in Figure 43.  
Although at any SCLK frequency one dummy cycle is sufficient  
to power up the device and acquire VIN, it does not mean that a  
full dummy cycle of 16 SCLKs must always elapse to power up  
the device and acquire VIN fully; 1 µs is sufficient to power up  
the device and acquire the input signal.  
For example, if the AD7440/AD7450A are operated in  
continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS  
and an SCLK of 18 MHz, and the device is placed in power-  
down mode between conversions, the power consumption is  
calculated as follows:  
For example, if a 5 MHz SCLK frequency was applied to the  
ADC, the cycle time would be 3.2 µs (1/(5 MHz) ×16). In one  
dummy cycle, 3.2 µs, the part would be powered up and VIN  
acquired fully. However, after 1 µs with a 5 MHz SCLK, only five  
SCLK cycles would have elapsed. At this stage, the ADC would  
be fully powered up and the signal acquired. So in this case, the  
Power Dissipation during Normal Operation = 9.25 mW max  
(for VDD = 5 V)  
If the power-up time is one dummy cycle (1 µs), and the  
remaining conversion time is another cycle (1 µs), the  
AD7440/AD7450A can be said to dissipate 9.25 mW for 2 µs1  
during each conversion cycle.  
CS  
can be brought high after the 10th SCLK falling edge and  
brought low again after a time, tQUIET, to initiate the conversion.  
If the throughput rate = 100 kSPS, the cycle time = 10 µs and  
the average power dissipated during each cycle is  
(2/10) × 9.25mW = 1.85 mW.  
When power supplies are first applied to the device, the ADC  
may power up in either power-down mode or normal mode.  
Because of this, it is best to allow a dummy cycle to elapse to  
ensure the part is fully powered up before attempting a valid  
conversion. Likewise, if the user wants the part to power up in  
power-down mode, the dummy cycle may be used to ensure the  
device is in power-down by executing a cycle such as the one  
shown in Figure 42.  
For the same scenario, if VDD = 3 V, the power dissipation during  
normal operation is 4 mW max.  
The AD7440/AD7450A can now be said to dissipate 4 mW for  
2 µs1 during each conversion cycle.  
1This figure assumes a very short time to enter power-down mode. This  
increases as the burst of clocks used to enter this mode is increased.

AD7440/AD7450A  
Thus, the average power dissipated during each cycle with a  
throughput rate of 100 kSPS is (2/10) × 4 mW = 0.8 mW.  
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 45. The ADSP-21xx  
has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set  
as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in  
alternate framing mode and the SPORT control register is set  
up as described. The frame synchronization signal generated on  
This is how the power numbers in Figure 44 are calculated.  
For throughput rates above 320 kSPS, it is recommended to  
reduce the serial clock frequency for best power performance.  
CS  
the TFS is tied to  
and, as with all signal processing  
applications, equidistant sampling is necessary. However in this  
example, the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate  
of the ADC; under certain conditions, equidistant sampling may  
not be achieved.

The timer registers, for example, are loaded with a value that  
provides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When an  
interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC  
control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and therefore  
the reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set in  
the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with  
TFS is given (AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked. The  
DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high again  
before starting transmission. If the timer and SCLK values are  
chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near  
the rising edge of SCLK, then the data may be transmitted or it  
may wait until the next clock edge.

The SPORT control register should be set up as follows:  
For example, the ADSP-2111 has a master clock frequency of  
16 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3, an  
SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained and eight master clock periods  
elapse for every SCLK period. If the timer registers are loaded  
with the value 803, then 100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts  
and subsequently between transmit instructions. This situation  
results in nonequidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is  
occurring on a SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between  
interrupts is a whole integer figure of N, equidistant sampling is  
implemented by the DSP.

AD7440/AD7450A to TMS320C5x/C54x  
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT HINTS  
The serial interface on the TMS320C5x/C54x uses a continuous  
serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize  
the data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7440/AD7450A  
should be designed so that the analog and digital sections are  
separated and confined to certain areas of the board. This  
facilitates the use of ground planes that can be easily separated.  
A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes  
as it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog ground planes  
should be joined in only one place, a star ground point  
established as close to the GND pin on the AD7440/AD7450A  
as possible. Avoid running digital lines under the devices  
because this couples noise onto the die. The analog ground  
plane should be allowed to run under the AD7440/AD7450A to  
avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the  
CS  
AD7440/AD7450A. The  
input allows easy interfacing  
between the TMS320C5x/C54x and the AD7440/AD7450A  
without any glue logic required. The serial port of the  
TMS320C5x/C54x is set up to operate in burst mode with  
internal CLKx (Tx serial clock) and FSx (Tx frame sync). The  
serial port control register (SPC) must have the following setup:  
FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM = 1, and TxM = 1. The format bit, FO,  
may be set to 1 to set the word length to eight bits in order to  
implement the power-down mode on the AD7440/AD7450A.  
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 46. For signal  
processing applications, it is imperative that the frame  
synchronization signal from the TMS320C5x/C54x provide  
equidistant sampling.  
AD7440/AD7450A should use as large a trace as possible to  
provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches  
on the power supply line.  
Fast switching signals like clocks should be shielded with digital  
ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board,  
and clock signals should never run near the analog inputs.  
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite  
sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This  
reduces the effects of feedthrough through the board. A micro-  
strip technique is by far the best but is not always possible with  
a double-sided board.

In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated  
to ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side.  
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should  
be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum capacitors in parallel with  
0.1 µF capacitors to GND. To achieve the best from these  
decoupling components, they must be placed as close as  
possible to the device.

AD7440/AD7450A to DSP56xxx  
The connection diagram in Figure 47 shows how the device can  
be connected to the synchronous serial interface (SSI) of the  
DSP56xxx family of DSPs from Motorola. The SSI is operated in  
synchronous mode (SYN bit in CRB = 1) with internally  
generated 1-word frame sync for both Tx and Rx (Bits FSL1 = 0  
and FSL0 = 0 in CRB). Set the word length to 16 by setting Bits  
WL1 = 1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. To implement power-down  
mode on the AD7440/AD7450A, the word length can be  
changed to 8 bits by setting Bits WL1 = 0 and WL0 = 0 in CRA.  
For signal processing applications, it is imperative that the  
frame synchronization signal from the DSP56xxx provide  
equidistant sampling.
