GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
The AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A are 12-bit, 10-bit, and 8-bit  
high speed, low power, successive-approximation analog-to-  
digital converters (ADCs), respectively. The parts operate from  
a single 2.35 V to 5.25 V power supply and feature throughput  
rates up to 1 MSPS. The parts contain a low noise, wide  
bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input  
frequencies in excess of 13 MHz. The conversion process and  
1. First 12-/10-/8-bit ADCs in a SC70 package.  
2. High throughput with low power consumption.  
3. Flexible power/serial clock speed management. The  
conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing  
the conversion time to be reduced through the serial clock  
speed increase. This allows the average power consumption  
to be reduced when a power-down mode is used while not  
converting. The parts also feature a power-down mode to  
maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates.  
Current consumption is 1 μA maximum and 50 nA  
typically when in power-down mode.  
CS  
data acquisition are controlled using  
and the serial clock,  
allowing the devices to interface with microprocessors or DSPs.  
CS  
The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of , and the  
conversion is also initiated at this point. There are no pipeline  
delays associated with the parts. The AD7476A/AD7477A/  
AD7478A use advanced design techniques to achieve low power  
dissipation at high throughput rates. The reference for the part  
is taken internally from VDD to allow the widest dynamic input  
range to the ADC. Thus, the analog input range for the part is  
0 V to VDD. The conversion rate is determined by the SCLK.  
4. Reference derived from the power supply.  
5. No pipeline delay. The parts feature a standard successive  
approximation ADC with accurate control of the sampling  
CS  
instant via a  
input and once-off conversion control.

0.8 V or 2.0 V for VDD > 2.35 V.  
5 Measured with a 50 pF load capacitor.  
6 t8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit shown in Figure 2. The measured number is then  
extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. Therefore, the time, t8, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus  
relinquish time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

From Figure 4, tACQ is comprised of  
Having fSCLK = 20 MHz and a throughput of 1 MSPS, a cycle  
time of  
2.5 (1/fSCLK) + t8 + tQUIET, t8 = 36 ns maximum  
This allows a value of 128 ns for tQUIET, satisfying the minimum  
requirement of 50 ns.  
t2 + 12.5 (1/fSCLK) + tACQ = 1 µs  
where:  
In this example and with other, slower clock values, the signal  
may already be acquired before the conversion is complete, but  
it is still necessary to leave 50 ns minimum tQUIET between  
conversions. In Example 2, acquire the signal fully at  
approximately Point C in Figure 4.  
t2 = 10 ns min, leaving tACQ to be 365 ns. This 365 ns satisfies the  
requirement of 250 ns for tACQ  
.
From Figure 4, tACQ is comprised of  
2.5 (1/fSCLK) + t8 + tQUIET  
where:  
t8 = 36 ns maximum. This allows a value of 204 ns for tQUIET

satisfying the minimum requirement of 50 ns.

AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
TERMINOLOGY  
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
INL is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing  
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. For the  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A, the endpoints of the transfer  
function are zero scale (1 LSB below the first code transition),  
and full scale (1 LSB above the last code transition).  
Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of  
harmonics to the fundamental. It is defined as  
V22 +V32 +V42 +V52 +V62  
THD(dB) = 20log  
V1  
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental, and V2, V3,  
V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the  
sixth harmonics.  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
DNL is the difference between the measured and the ideal  
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.  
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise (SFDR)  
Offset Error  
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as 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. For ADCs where the harmonics are  
buried in the noise floor, it is a noise peak.  
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to  
(00 . . . 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.  
Gain Error  
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to  
(111 . . . 111) from the ideal, that is, VREF – 1 LSB after the offset  
error has been adjusted out.  
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)  
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time  
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and  
fb, any active device with nonlinearities create distortion  
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa, nfb, where  
m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion  
terms are those for which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For  
example, the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb),  
and the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb),  
and (fa – 2fb).  
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end  
of a conversion. The track-and-hold acquisition time is the time  
required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach  
its final value, within 0.5 LSB, after the end of conversion. See  
the Serial Interface section for more details.  
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)  
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 digitiza-  
tion process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise.  
The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio for an ideal  
N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by signal-to-  
(noise + distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB. Thus, it is 74 dB for a  
12-bit converter, 62 dB for a 10-bit converter, and 50 dB for an  
8-bit converter.  
The AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A are tested using the CCIF  
standard where two input frequencies are used (see fa and fb in  
the Specifications section). In this case, the second-order terms  
are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves,  
while the third-order terms are usually 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 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 decibels.  
Total Unadjusted Error (TUE)  
This is a comprehensive specification that includes the gain,  
linearity, and offset errors.  
Rev. F | Page 14 of 28  
 
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 16), SW2 opens  
and SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become  
unbalanced. The control logic and the charge redistribution  
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from  
the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a  
balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the  
conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC  
output code. Figure 17 shows the ADC transfer function.  
CIRCUIT INFORMATION  
The AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A are fast, micropower,  
12-/10-/8-bit, single-supply analog-to-digital converters (ADCs),  
respectively. The parts can be operated from a 2.35 V to 5.25 V  
supply. When operated from either a 5 V supply or a 3 V supply,  
the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A are capable of throughput  
rates of 1 MSPS when provided with a 20 MHz clock. The  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A provide the user with an on-  
chip, track-and-hold ADC and a serial interface housed in a  
tiny 6-lead SC70 or 8-lead MSOP package, offering the user  
considerable space-saving advantages over alternative solutions.  
The serial clock input accesses data from the part but also pro-  
vides the clock source for the successive-approximation ADC.  
The analog input range is 0 V to VDD. The ADC does not require  
an external reference or an on-chip reference. The reference for  
the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A is derived from the power  
supply and, thus, gives the widest dynamic input range. The  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A also feature a power-down  
option to allow power saving between conversions. The power-  
down feature is implemented across the standard serial interface,  
as described in the Modes of Operation section.

The output coding of the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A is  
straight binary. The designed code transitions occur at the  
successive integer LSB values, that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on.  
The LSB size is VDD/4096 for the AD7476A, VDD/1024 for the  
AD7477A, and VDD/256 for the AD7478A. The ideal transfer  
characteristic for the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A is shown  
in Figure 17.  
THE CONVERTER OPERATION  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A are successive approximation,  
analog-to-digital converters based around a charge redistribu-  
tion DAC. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show simplified schematics  
of the ADC. Figure 15 shows the ADC during its acquisition  
phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is in Position A, the comparator  
is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling capacitor  
acquires the signal on VIN.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM  
Figure 18 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7476A/  
AD7477A/AD7478A. VREF is taken internally from VDD and, as  
such, VDD should be well decoupled. This provides an analog  
input range of 0 V to VDD. The conversion result is output in a  
16-bit word with four leading zeros followed by the MSB of the  
12-bit, 10-bit, or 8-bit result. The 10-bit result from the AD7477A  
is followed by two trailing zeros, and the 8-bit result from the  
AD7478A is followed by four trailing zeros. Alternatively, because  
the supply current required by the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
is so low, a precision reference can be used as the supply source  
to the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A. A REF19x voltage refer-  
ence (REF195 for 5 V or REF193 for 3 V) can be used to supply  
the required voltage to the ADC (see Figure 18). This configuration  
is especially useful if the power supply is quite noisy, or if the  
system supply voltages are at some value other than 5 V or 3 V  
(for example, 15 V).  
Table 7 provides typical performance data with various  
references used as a VDD source for a 100 kHz input tone at  
room temperature under the same setup conditions.

ANALOG INPUT  
Figure 19 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input  
structure of the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A. The two  
diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog  
input. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal  
never exceeds the supply rails by more than 300 mV. This  
causes the diodes to become forward-biased and start  
conducting current into the substrate. The maximum current  
these diodes can conduct without causing irreversible damage  
to the part is 10 mA. The Capacitor C1 in Figure 19 is typically  
about 6 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance.  
The Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on  
resistance of a switch. This resistor is typically about 100 Ω. The  
Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and has a  
capacitance of 20 pF typically.  
The REF19x outputs a steady voltage to the AD7476A/  
AD7477A/AD7478A. If the low dropout REF193 is used, the  
current it needs to supply to the AD7476A/AD7477A/ AD7478A is  
typically 1.2 mA. When the ADC is converting at a rate of 1  
MSPS, the REF193 needs to supply a maximum of 1.7 mA to the  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A. The load regulation of the  
REF193 is typically 10 ppm/mA (VS = 5 V), resulting in an error  
of 17 ppm (51 µV) for the 1.7 mA drawn from it. This corresponds  
to a 0.069 LSB error for the AD7476A with VDD = 3 V from the  
REF193, a 0.017 LSB error for the AD7477A, and a 0.0043 LSB  
error for the AD7478A.  
For ac applications, removing high frequency components from  
the analog input signal is recommended by use of a band-pass  
filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where  
harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical, drive  
the analog input from a low impedance source. Large source  
impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC,  
necessitating the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of  
the op amp is a function of the particular application.  
For applications where power consumption is a concern, use the  
power-down mode of the ADC and the sleep mode of the  
REF19x reference to improve power performance. See the  
Modes of Operation section.

DIGITAL INPUTS  
The digital inputs applied to the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
are not limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog  
input. Instead, the digital inputs applied can reach 7 V and are  
not restricted by the VDD + 0.3 V limit as on the analog input.  
For example, if operating the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
with a VDD of 3 V, u s e 5 V logic levels on the digital inputs.  
However, note that the data output on SDATA still has 3 V logic

The power-up time of the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A is  
1 µs, meaning that with any frequency of SCLK up to 20 MHz,  
one dummy cycle is always sufficient to allow the device to  
power up. Once the dummy cycle is complete, the ADC is fully

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 is performed  
at a high throughput rate and the ADC is then powered down  
for a relatively long duration between these bursts of several  
conversions. When the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A are in  
power-down, all analog circuitry is powered down. To enter

Instead, a dummy cycle can occur directly after power is  
supplied to the ADC. If the first valid conversion is performed  
directly after the dummy conversion, care must be taken to  
ensure that an adequate acquisition time has been allowed. As  
mentioned earlier, when powering up from the power-down  
mode, the part returns to track upon the first SCLK edge  
When power supplies are first applied to the AD7476A/AD7477A/  
AD7478A, the ADC can power up in either the power-down or  
normal modes. Because of this, it is best to allow a dummy cycle  
to elapse to ensure that the part is fully powered up before  
attempting a valid conversion. Likewise, if it is intended to keep  
the part in the power-down mode while not in use and the user  
wishes the part to power up in power-down mode, the dummy  
cycle can be used to ensure that the device is in power-down by  
executing a cycle such as that shown in Figure 22. Once supplies  
are applied to the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A, the power-up  
time is the same as that when powering up from the power-down  
mode. It takes approximately 1 μs to power up fully if the part  
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.

initially powers up after supplies are applied, the track-and-hold  
is already in track. This means, assuming one has the facility to  
monitor the ADC supply current, if the ADC powers up in the  
desired mode of operation and thus a dummy cycle is not  
required to change the mode, a dummy cycle is not required to  
place the track-and-hold into track.

AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE  
By using the power-down mode on the AD7476A/AD7477A/  
AD7478A when not converting, the average power consump-  
tion of the ADC decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 23  
shows that as the throughput rate is reduced, the device remains  
in its power-down state longer and the average power consumption  
over time drops accordingly.  
If VDD = 3 V, SCLK = 20 MHz, and the devices are again in  
power-down mode between conversions, then the power  
dissipation during normal operation is 5.1 mW. Thus, the  
AD7576A/AD7477A/AD8478A dissipate 5.1 mW for 2 μs  
during each conversion cycle. With a throughput rate of  
100 kSPS, the average power dissipated during each cycle is  
(2/10) × (5.1 mW) = 1.02 m W.  
For example, if the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A operate in a  
continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS  
and an SCLK of 20 MHz (VDD = 5 V) and the devices are placed  
in the power-down mode between conversions, the power  
consumption is calculated as follows:  
Figure 23 shows the power vs. the throughput rate when using  
the power-down mode between conversions with both 5 V and  
3 V supplies. The power-down mode is intended for use with  
throughput rates of approximately 333 kSPS or less, because at  
higher sampling rates, the power-down mode produces no  
power savings.  
The power dissipation during normal operation is 17.5 mW  
(VDD = 5 V). If the power-up time is one dummy cycle, that is,  
1 μs, and the remaining conversion time is another cycle, that is,  
1 μs, then the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A dissipate 17.5 mW  
for 2 μs during each conversion cycle.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING  
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 28. For signal  
processing applications, it is imperative that the frame  
synchronization signal from the TMS320C541 provide  
equidistant sampling.  
The serial interface on the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
allows the part to be directly connected to a range of different  
microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A with some of the more  
common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.

the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A. The  
input allows easy  
FSX  
interfacing between the TMS320C541 and the AD7476A/  
AD7477A/AD7478A without any glue logic required. The serial  
port of the TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode  
(FSM = 1 in the serial port control register, SPC) with Internal  
Serial Clock CLKX (MCM = 1 in the SPC register) and internal  
frame signal (TXM = 1 in the SPC register), so both pins are  
configured as outputs. For the AD7476A, set the word length to  
16 bits (FO = 0 in the SPC register). This DSP only allows  
frames with a word length of 16 bits or 8 bits. Therefore, in the  
case of the AD7477A and AD7478A where 14 bits and 12 bits  
are required, the FO bit is set up to 16 bits. This means that to  
obtain the conversion result, 16 SCLKs are needed. In both  
situations, the remaining SCLKs clock out trailing zeros. For the  
AD7477A, two trailing zeros are clocked out in the last two clock  
cycles; for the AD7478A, four trailing zeros are clocked out.

INTERFACE  
The ADSP-218x family of DSPs are interfaced directly to the  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A without any glue logic  
required. Set up the SPORT control register as follows:  
TFSW = RFSW = 1, alternate framing  
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, active low frame signal  
DTYPE = 00, right justify data  
ISCLK = 1, internal serial clock  
TFSR = RFSR = 1, frame every word  
IRFS = 0, sets up RFS as an input  
ITFS = 1, sets up TFS as an output  
SLEN = 1111, 16 bits for the AD7476A  
SLEN = 1101, 14 bits for the AD7477A  
SLEN = 1011, 12 bits for the AD7478A  
To summarize, the values in the SPC register are  
FO = 0  
FSM = 1  
MCM = 1  
TXM = 1  
The format bit, FO, can be set to 1 to set the word length to  
eight bits in order to implement the power-down mode on the  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A.

AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A TO DSP563xx  
INTERFACE  
To implement the power-down mode, set SLEN to 0111 to issue  
an 8-bit SCLK burst. The connection diagram is shown in  
Figure 29. The ADSP-218x 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  
The connection diagram in Figure 30 shows how the  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A can be connected to the SSI  
(synchronous serial interface) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs  
from Motorola. The SSI is operated in synchronous and normal  
mode (SYN 1 = and MOD = 0 in Control Register B, CRB) with  
internally generated word length frame sync for both Tx and Rx  
(Bit FSL1 = 0 and Bit FSL0 = 0 in CRB). Set the word length in  
Control Register A (CRA) to 16 by setting Bit WL2 = 0, Bit  
WL1 = 1, and Bit WL0 = 0 for the AD7476A. The word length  
for the AD7478A can be set to 12 bits (WL2 = 0, WL1 = 0, and  
WL0 = 1). This DSP does not offer the option for a 14-bit word  
length, so the AD7477A word length is set up to 16 bits, the  
same as the AD7476A. For the AD7477A, the conversion process  
uses 16 SCLK cycles, with the last two clock periods clocking out  
two trailing zeros to fill the 16-bit word.  
CS  
signal generated on 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 and, under certain conditions,  
equidistant sampling may not be achieved.

To implement the power-down mode on the AD7476A/AD7477A/  
AD7478A, the word length can be changed to eight bits by setting  
Bit WL2 = 0, Bit WL1 = 0, and Bit WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP  
bit in the CRB register can be set to 1, meaning the frame goes  
low and a conversion starts. Likewise, by means of the Bit SCD2,  
Bit SCKD, and Bit SHFD in the CRB register, it establishes that  
Pin SC2 (the frame sync signal) and Pin SCK in the serial port  
are configured as outputs and the MSB is shifted first.

Figure 29. Interfacing to the ADSP-218x  
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 controls the RFS and, thus, 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,  
that is, TX0 = AX0, the state of the SCLK is checked. The DSP  
waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high before  
transmission starts. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen  
such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the  
rising edge of SCLK, the data can be transmitted or it can wait  
until the next clock edge. 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 will elapse for every one SCLK  
period. If the timer registers are loaded with the Value 803,  
100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts and, subsequently,  
between transmit instructions. This situation results in  
nonequidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is  
occurring on an SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between  
interrupts is a whole integer figure of N, equidistant sampling is  
implemented by the D SP.  
In summary:  
MOD = 0  
SYN = 1  
WL2, WL1, and WL0 depend on the word length  
FSL1 = 0 and FSL0 = 0  
FSP = 1, negative frame sync  
SCD2 = 1  
SCKD = 1  
SHFD = 0  
Note that for signal processing applications, it is imperative that  
the frame synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provide  
equidistant sampling.

AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A  
APPLICATION HINTS  
As can be seen in Figure 32, for the MSOP package, the  
decoupling capacitor has been placed as close as possible to the  
IC with short track lengths to VDD and GND pins. The  
decoupling capacitor can also be placed on the underside of the  
PCB directly underneath the IC, between the VDD and GND  
pins attached by vias. This method is not recommended on  
PCBs above a standard 1.6 mm thickness. The best performance  
is realized with the decoupling capacitor on the top of the PCB  
next to the IC.  
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT  
Design the printed circuit board that houses the AD7476A/  
AD7477A/AD7478A such 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 separated easily.  
A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes  
because it gives the best shielding. Join digital and analog  
ground planes at only one place. If the AD7476A/AD7477A/  
AD7478A is in a system where multiple devices require an  
AGND to DGND connection, make the connection at one  
point only, a star ground point that is established as close as  
possible to the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A.  
Similarly, for the SC70 package, locate the decoupling capacitor  
as close as possible to the VDD and the GND pins. Because of its  
pinout, that is, VDD being next to GND, the decoupling capacitor  
can be placed extremely close to the IC. The decoupling capacitor  
can be placed on the underside of the PCB directly under the  
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these couple  
noise onto the die. Allow the analog ground plane to run under  
the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A in order to avoid noise  
coupling. Use as large a trace as possible on the power supply  
lines to the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A to provide low  
impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power  
supply line. Shield fast switching signals like clocks with digital  
grounds to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board,  
and never run clock signals near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover  
of digital and analog signals. Run traces on opposite sides of the  
board at right angles to each other. This reduces the effects of  
feedthrough through the board. A microstrip 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.  
VDD and GND pins, but the best performance is achieved with  
the decoupling capacitor on the same side as the IC.  
Figure 32. Recommended Supply Decoupling Scheme for the  
AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A MSOP Package  
Good decoupling is also very important. Decouple the supply  
with, for instance, a 680 nF 0805 capacitor to GND. When using  
the SC70 package in applications where the size of the components  
is of concern, a 220 nF 0603 capacitor, for example, can be used  
instead. However, in that case, the decoupling may not be as  
effective, resulting in an approximate SINAD degradation of  
0.3 dB. To achieve the best performance from these decoupling  
components, the user should endeavor to keep the distance  
between the decoupling capacitor and the VDD and GND pins to  
a minimum with short track lengths connecting the respective  
pins. Figure 31 and Figure 32 and show the recommended  
positions of the decoupling capacitor for the SC70 and MSOP  
packages, respectively.  
EVALUATING THE AD7476A/AD7477A  
PERFORMANCE  
The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and  
tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for  
controlling the board from the PC via the EVAL-BOARD  
CONTROLLER. The EVAL-BOARD CONTROLLER can be  
used in conjunction with the AD7476ACB/AD7477ACB  
evaluation board, as well as many other Analog Devices  
evaluation boards ending in the CB designator, to  
demonstrate/evaluate the ac and dc performance of the  
AD7476A/AD7477A. The software allows the user to perform  
ac (fast Fourier transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on  
the AD7476A/AD7477A. See the evaluation board application  
note for more information.
