Figure 1.  
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled  
using the CONVST x signals and an internal oscillator. Three  
CONVST x pins (CONVST A, CONVST B, and CONVST C)  
allow independent, simultaneous sampling of the three ADC  
pairs. The AD7656A-1 has a high speed parallel and serial  
interface, allowing the device to interface with microprocessors  
or digital signal processors (DSPs). In serial interface mode, the  
AD7656A-1 has a daisy-chain feature that allows multiple  
ADCs to connect to a single serial interface. The AD7656A-1  
can accommodate true bipolar input signals in the 4 × VREF  
range and the 2 × VREF range. The AD7656A-1 also contains  
an on-chip 2.5 V reference.  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD7656A-11 is a reduced decoupling pin- and software-  
compatible version of AD7656A. The AD7656A-1 contains six  
16-bit, fast, low power successive approximation ADCs in a  
package designed on the iCMOS® process (industrial CMOS).  
iCMOS is a process combining high voltage silicon with submicron  
CMOS and complementary bipolar technologies. It enables the  
development of a wide range of high performance analog ICs,  
capable of 33 V operation in a footprint that no previous  
generation of high voltage devices could achieve. Unlike analog  
ICs using conventional CMOS processes, iCMOS components  
can accept bipolar input signals while providing increased  
performance, which dramatically reduces power consumption  
and package size.  
Multifunction pin names may be referenced by their relevant  
function only.  
The AD7656A-1 features throughput rates of to 250 kSPS. It  
contains wide bandwidth (4.5 MHz), track-and-hold amplifiers  
that can handle input frequencies up to 4.5 MHz.  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
1. Six 16-bit, 250 kSPS ADCs on board.  
2. Six true bipolar, high impedance analog inputs.  
3. High speed parallel and serial interfaces.  
4. Reduced decoupling requirements and reduced bill of  
materials cost compared with the AD7656A.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
TA = 25°C, unless otherwise noted.  
POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING  
Simultaneous application of VDD and VSS is necessary to  
guarantee reliability of the device. In cases where simultaneous  
application cannot be guaranteed, VDD must power up before  
VSS. When a negative voltage is applied to the analog inputs  
before VDD and VSS are fully powered up, a 560 Ω resistor must  
be placed on the analog inputs.

A number of sequencing combinations can lead to temporary  
high current states; however, when all supplies are powered up,  
the device returns to normal operating currents. The analog  
input (AIN) coming before AVCC causes temporary high current  
on the analog inputs. Digital inputs before DVCC, and DVCC  
before other supplies, also cause temporary high current states.  
THERMAL RESISTANCE  
θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a device  
soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages. These  
specifications apply to a 4-layer board.

DGND  
VDRIVE  
Digital Ground. This is the ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7656A-1. Connect  
both DGND pins to the DGND plane of a system. The DGND and AGND voltages should ideally be at the  
same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.  
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines the operating voltage of the  
interface. This pin is nominally at the same supply as the supply of the host interface.

DB7/HBEN/DCEN  
Data Bit 7/High Byte Enable/Daisy-Chain Enable. When the parallel interface is selected and the device is  
used in word mode (SER/PAR/SEL = 0 and W/B = 0), Pin 10 functions as Data Bit 7. When the parallel  
interface is selected and the device is used in byte mode (SER/PAR/SEL = 0 and W/B = 1), Pin 10 functions  
as HBEN. If the HBEN is logic high, the data is output MSB byte first on DB15 to DB8. If HBEN is logic  
low, the data is output LSB byte first on DB15 to DB8. When the serial interface is selected (SER/PAR/SEL =  
1), Pin 10 functions as DCEN. If the DCEN is logic high, the AD7656A-1 operates in daisy-chain mode  
with DB5 to DB3 functioning as DCIN A to DCIN C. When the serial interface is selected but the  
device is not used in daisy-chain mode, tie DCEN to DGND.

DB6/SCLK  
Data Bit 6/Serial Clock. When SER/PAR/SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output  
pin. When SER/PAR/SEL = 1, this pin functions as the SCLK input and is the read serial clock for the  
serial transfer.  
DB5/DCIN A  
DB4/DCIN B  
DB3/DCIN C  
DB2/SEL C  
Data Bit 5/Daisy-Chain Input A. When SER/PAR/SEL is low, this pin acts as a three-state parallel  
digital output pin. When SER/PAR/SEL = 1 and DCEN = 1, this pin acts as Daisy-Chain Input A. When  
the serial interface is selected, but the device is not used in daisy-chain mode, tie this pin to DGND.  
Data Bit 4/Daisy-Chain Input B. When SER/PAR/SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital  
output pin. When SER/PAR/SEL = 1 and DCEN = 1, this pin acts as Daisy-Chain Input B. When the serial  
interface is selected, but the device is not used in daisy-chain mode, tie this pin to DGND.  
Data Bit 3/Daisy-Chain Input C. When SER/PAR/SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital  
output pin. When SER/PAR/SEL = 1 and DCEN = 1, this pin acts as Daisy-Chain Input C. When the serial  
interface is selected, but the device is not used in daisy-chain mode, tie this pin to DGND.  
Data Bit 2/Select DOUT C. When SER/PAR/SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output  
pin. When SER/PAR/SEL = 1, this pin functions as SEL C and is used to configure the serial interface. If  
this pin is 1, the serial interface operates with three DOUT x output pins and enables DOUT C as a  
serial output. If this pin is 0, the DOUT C is not enabled to operate as a serial data output pin. Leave  
unused serial DOUT x pins unconnected.  
16  
17  
DB1/SEL B  
DB0/SEL A  
Data Bit 1/Select DOUT B. When SER/PAR/SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output  
pin. When SER/PAR/SEL = 1, this pin functions as SEL B and is used to configure the serial interface. If  
this pin is 1, the serial interface operates with two or three DOUT x output pins and enables DOUT B  
as a serial output. If this pin is 0, DOUT B is not enabled to operate as a serial data output pin and  
only one DOUT output pin, DOUT A, is used. Leave unused serial DOUT x pins unconnected.  
Data Bit 0/Select DOUT A. When SER/PAR/SEL = 0, this pin acts as a three-state parallel digital output  
pin. When SER/PAR/SEL = 1, this pin functions as SEL A and is used to configure the serial interface. If  
this pin is 1, the serial interface operates with one, two, or three DOUT x output pins and enables  
DOUT A as a serial output. When the serial interface is selected, always set this pin to 1.  
18  
19  
BUSY  
CS  
Busy Output. This pin transitions to high when a conversion is started and remains high until the  
conversion is complete and the conversion data is latched into the output data registers. A new  
conversion cannot be initiated on the AD7656A-1 when the BUSY signal is high because any applied  
CONVST edges are ignored.  
Chip Select. This active low logic input frames the data transfer. If both CS and RD are logic low and  
the parallel interface is selected, the output bus is enabled, and the conversion result is output on  
the parallel data bus lines. If both CS and WR are logic low and the parallel interface is selected, DB15 to  
DB8 are used to write data to the on-chip control register. When the serial interface is selected, the  
CS is used to frame the serial read transfer and clock out the MSB of the serial output data.  
20  
RD  
Read Data. If both CS and RD are logic low and the parallel interface is selected, the output bus is  
enabled. When the serial interface is selected, hold the RD line low.  
21, 22, 23  
CONVST C,  
Conversion Start Input A, Conversion Start Input B, and Conversion Start Input C. These logic inputs  
CONVST B, CONVST A are used to initiate conversions on the ADC pairs. CONVST A is used to initiate simultaneous conversions  
on V1 and V2. CONVST B is used to initiate simultaneous conversions on V3 and V4. CONVST C is  
used to initiate simultaneous conversions on V5 and V6. When one of these pins switches from low  
to high, the track-and-hold switch on the selected ADC pair switches from track to hold mode, and  
the conversion is initiated. These inputs can also be used to place the ADC pairs into partial power-  
down mode.  
24  
26  
STBY  
Standby Mode Input. This pin is used to put all six on-chip ADCs into standby mode. The STBY pin is  
high for normal operation and low for standby operation.  
Digital Power, 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The DVCC and AVCC voltages should ideally be at the same potential  
and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. Decouple this supply to DGND by  
placing a 1 µF decoupling capacitor on the DVCC pin.

RANGE  
Analog Input Range Selection. Logic input. The logic level on this pin determines the input range of  
the analog input channels. When this pin is Logic 1 at the falling edge of BUSY, the range for the  
next conversion is 2 × VREF. When this pin is Logic 0 at the falling edge of BUSY, the range for the  
next conversion is 4 × VREF. In hardware select mode, the RANGE pin is checked on the falling edge  
of BUSY. In software mode (H/S SEL = 1), the RANGE pin can be tied to DGND, and the input range is  
determined by the RNGA, RNGB, and RNGC bits in the control register (see Table 9).  
28  
RESET  
Reset Input. When set to logic high, this pin resets the AD7656A-1. In software mode, the current  
conversion is aborted, and the internal register is set to all 0s. In hardware mode, the AD7656A-1 is  
configured depending on the logic levels on the hardware select pins. In all modes, the AD7656A-1  
should receive a RESET pulse after power-up. The RESET high pulse should be typically 100 ns wide.  
The CONVST x pin may be held high during the RESET pulse. However, if the CONVST x pin is held low  
during the RESET pulse, after the RESET pulse, the AD7656A-1 needs to receive a complete CONVST x  
pulse to initiate the first conversion; this consists of a high-to-low CONVST x edge followed by a low-  
to-high CONVST x edge. In hardware mode, the user can initiate a RESET pulse between conversion  
cycles, that is, a 100 ns RESET pulse can be applied to the device after BUSY has transitioned from high  
to low and the data has been read. The RESET can then be issued prior to the next complete CONVST x  
pulse. Ensure that in such a case, RESET has returned to logic low prior to the next complete CONVST x  
pulse.  
29  
W/B  
Word/Byte Input. When this pin is logic low, data can be transferred to and from the AD7656A-1 using  
the parallel data lines DB15 to DB0. When this pin is logic high and the parallel interface is selected,  
byte mode is enabled. In this mode, data is transferred using the DB15 to DB8 data lines, and DB7  
functions as HBEN. To obtain the 16-bit conversion result, 2-byte reads are required. When the serial  
interface is selected, tie this pin to DGND.

VSS  
VDD  
Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.  
Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section.

AGND  
Analog Ground. This pin is the ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7656A-1. Refer  
all analog input signals and external reference signals to this pin. Connect all AGND pins to the  
AGND plane of the system. The AGND and DGND voltages should ideally be at the same potential  
and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.  
33, 36, 39,  
42, 45, 48  
V1 to V6  
Analog Input 1 to Analog Input 6. These pins are single-ended analog inputs. In hardware mode,  
the analog input range of these channels is determined by the RANGE pin. In software mode, it is  
determined by the RNGC to RNGA bits of the control register (see Table 9).  
34, 35, 40,  
41, 46, 47,  
50, 60  
AVCC  
Analog Supply Voltage, 4.75 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for the ADC cores. The AVCC and  
DVCC voltages should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even  
on a transient basis.  
51  
REFIN/REFOUT  
Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available via this pin. Alternatively, the  
internal reference can be disabled, and an external reference can be applied to this input. See the  
Internal/External Reference section. When the internal reference is enabled, decouple this pin using  
at least a 1 µF decoupling capacitor.  
54, 56, 58  
61  
REFCAPA, REFCAPB,  
REFCAPC  
Reference Capacitor A, Reference Capacitor B, and Reference Capacitor C. Decoupling capacitors are  
connected to these pins to decouple the reference buffer for each ADC pair. Decouple each REFCAP x pin  
to AGND using a 1 µF capacitor.  
Serial/Parallel Selection Input. When this pin is low, the parallel interface is selected. When this pin is high,  
the serial interface is selected. When the serial interface is selected, DB10 to DB8 function as DOUT C to  
DOUT A, DB0 to DB2 function as DOUT x, and DB7 functions as DCEN. When the serial interface is  
selected, tie DB15 and DB13 to DB11 to DGND.  
SER/PAR SEL  
62  
63  
H/S SEL  
Hardware/Software Select Input. Logic input. When H/S SEL = 0, the AD7656A-1 is operated in  
hardware select mode, and the ADC pairs to be simultaneously sampled are selected by the  
CONVST pins. When H/S SEL = 1, the ADC pairs to be sampled simultaneously are selected by  
writing to the control register. When the serial interface is selected, CONVST A is used to initiate  
conversions on the selected ADC pairs.  
Write Data/Reference Enable and Disable. When the H/S SEL pin is high and both CS and WR are  
logic low, DB15 to DB8 are used to write data to the internal control register. When the H/S SEL pin is  
low, this pin is used to enable or disable the internal reference. When H/S SEL = 0 and REFEN/DIS = 0, the  
internal reference is disabled and an external reference should be applied to the REFIN/REFOUT pin.  
When H/S SEL = 0 and REFEN/DIS = 1, the internal reference is enabled and the REFIN/REFOUT pin  
should be decoupled. See the Internal/External Reference section.

AD7656A-1  
TERMINOLOGY  
The ratio depends on the number of quantization levels in the  
digitization process: the more levels, the smaller the quantization  
noise. The theoretical SINAD ratio for an ideal N-bit converter  
with a sine wave input is given by  
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)  
The INL is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing  
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The  
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale at a ½ LSB below  
the first code transition and full scale at ½ LSB above the last  
code transition.  
SINAD = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB  
Therefore, SINAD is 98 dB for a 16-bit converter.  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
The DNL is the difference between the measured and the ideal  
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
The THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the harmonics to the  
fundamental. For the AD7656A-1, it is defined as  
Bipolar Zero-Scale Error  
2
2
2
2
2
V2 +V3 +V4 +V5 +V6  
The bipolar zero-scale error is the deviation of the midscale  
transition (all 1s to all 0s) from the ideal VIN voltage, that is,  
AGND − 1 LSB.  
THD (dB) = 20 log  
V1  
where:  
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.  
Bipolar Zero-Scale Error Matching  
The bipolar zero-scale error matching is the difference in  
bipolar zero-code error between any two input channels.  
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second  
through sixth harmonics.  
Positive Full-Scale Error  
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise  
The positive full-scale error is the deviation of the last code  
transition (011 … 110 to 011 … 111) from the ideal (4 × VREF  
1 LSB or 2 × VREF − 1 LSB) after adjusting for the bipolar zero-  
scale error.  
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the ratio of the rms  
value of the next largest component in the ADC output  
spectrum (up to fSAMPLE/2, 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  
determined by a noise peak.  
Positive Full-Scale Error Matching  
The positive full-scale error matching is the difference in  
positive full-scale error between any two input channels.  
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)  
Negative Full-Scale Error  
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. Intermodulation distortion terms are  
those for which neither m nor n are equal to 0. 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 negative full-scale error is the deviation of the first code  
transition (10 … 000 to 10 … 001) from the ideal (−4 × VREF  
1 LSB or −2 × VREF + 1 LSB) after adjusting for the bipolar zero  
scale error.  
+
Negative Full-Scale Error Matching  
The negative full-scale error matching is the difference in  
negative full-scale error between any two input channels.  
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time  
The AD7656A-1 is tested using the CCIF standard in which two  
input frequencies near the maximum input bandwidth are used.  
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in  
frequency from the original sine waves, and 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 and is expressed in decibels.  
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end  
of the 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 1 LSB, after the end of the conversion.  
See the Track-and-Hold section for more details.  
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured output signal  
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the  
Nyquist frequency. The value for SNR is expressed in decibels.  
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion (SINAD) Ratio  
The SINAD ratio is the measured ratio of signal-to-noise-and-  
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  
(fSAMPLE/2, excluding dc).  
Channel-to-Channel Isolation  
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk  
between any two channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale,  
100 kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input channels and  
determining the degree to which the signal attenuates in the  
selected channel with a 30 kHz signal.

AD7656A-1  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
CONVERTER DETAILS  
Analog Input  
The AD7656A-1 can handle true bipolar input voltages. The  
logic level on the RANGE pin or the value written to the RNGx  
bits in the control register determines the analog input range on  
the AD7656A-1 for the next conversion. When the RANGE pin or  
RNGx bit is 1, the analog input range for the next conversion is  
2 × VREF. When the RANGE pin or RNGx bit is 0, the analog  
The AD7656A-1 is a pin- and software-compatible, reduced  
decoupling version of the AD7656A device. In addition, the  
AD7656A-1 is a high speed, low power converter that allows the  
simultaneous sampling of six on-chip analog-to-digital converters  
(ADCs). The analog inputs on the AD7656A-1 can accept true  
bipolar input signals. The RANGE pin or RNGx bits are used to  
select either 4 × VREF or 2 × VREF as the input range for the  
next conversion.  
input range for the next conversion is 4 × VREF  
.
V
DD  
The AD7656A-1 contains six successive approximation (SAR)  
ADCs, six track-and-hold amplifiers, an on-chip 2.5 V reference,  
reference buffers, and high speed parallel and serial interfaces.  
The device allows the simultaneous sampling of all six ADCs  
when the three CONVST x pins (CONVST A, CONVST B, and  
CONVST C) are tied together. Alternatively, the six ADCs can  
be grouped into three pairs. Each pair has an associated CONVST x  
signal used to initiate simultaneous sampling on each ADC pair,  
on four ADCs, or on all six ADCs. CONVST A is used to initiate  
simultaneous sampling on V1 and V2, CONVST B is used to  
initiate simultaneous sampling on V3 and V4, and CONVST C  
is used to initiate simultaneous sampling on V5 and V6.

Figure 21. Equivalent Analog Input Structure  
Figure 21 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input of  
structure of the AD7656A-1. The two diodes, D1 and D2,  
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. Ensure that the  
analog input signal never exceeds the VDD and VSS supply rail  
limits by more than VSS + 1 V and VDD − 1 V. Signals exceeding  
this value cause these diode to become forward-biased and to start  
conducting into the substrate. The maximum current these diodes  
can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the device is  
10 mA. The C1 capacitor in Figure 21 is typically about 4 pF and  
can be attributed primarily to pin capacitance. The R1 resistor is  
a lumped component made up of the on resistance of a switch  
(that is, a track-and-hold switch). This resistor is typically about  
3.5 kΩ. The C2 capacitor is the ADC sampling capacitor and  
has a capacitance of 10 pF typically.  
A conversion is initiated on the AD7656A-1 by pulsing the  
CONVST x input. On the rising edge of CONVST x, the track-  
and-hold amplifier of the selected ADC pair is placed into hold  
mode and the conversions are started. After the rising edge of  
CONVST x, the BUSY signal goes high to indicate that the  
conversion is taking place. The conversion clock for the  
AD7656A-1 is internally generated, and the conversion time for  
the device is 3 µs. Any further CONVST rising edges on either  
CONVST A, CONVST B, or CONVST C are ignored as long as  
BUSY is high. The BUSY signal returns low to indicate the end of  
a conversion. On the falling edge of BUSY, the track-and-hold  
amplifier returns to track mode. Data can be read from the output  
register via the parallel or serial interface.  
The AD7656A-1 requires VDD and VSS dual supplies for the high  
voltage analog input structures. These supplies must be greater  
than the analog input range (see Table 6 for the requirements on  
these supplies for each analog input range).  
Track-and-Hold Amplifiers  
The AD7656A-1 requires a low voltage AVCC supply of 4.75 V to  
5.25 V to power the ADC core, a DVCC supply of 4.75 V to 5.25 V  
for the digital power, and a VDRIVE supply of 2.7 V to 5.25 V for  
the interface power.  
The track-and-hold amplifiers on the AD7656A-1 allow the ADCs  
to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale amplitude  
to 16-bit resolution. The input bandwidth of the track-and-hold  
amplifiers is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC, even  
when the AD7656A-1 is operating at the maximum throughput  
rate. The device can handle input frequencies of up to 4.5 MHz.  
To meet the specified performance when using the minimum  
supply voltage for the selected analog input range, it may be  
necessary to reduce the throughput rate from the maximum  
throughput rate.  
The track-and-hold amplifiers sample their respective inputs  
simultaneously on the rising edge of CONVST x. The aperture time  
(that is, the delay time between the external CONVST x signal  
actually entering hold) for the track-and-hold amplifier is 10 ns.  
This is well matched across all six track-and-hold amplifiers on one  
device and from device to device. This allows more than six ADCs  
to be sampled simultaneously. The end of the conversion is signaled  
by the falling edge of BUSY, and it is at this point that the track-  
and-hold amplifiers return to track mode and the acquisition  
time begins.

AD7656A-1  
Data Sheet  
The AD7656A-1 contains three on-chip reference buffers as  
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION  
shown in Figure 23. Each of the three ADC pairs has an  
associated reference buffer. These reference buffers require  
external decoupling capacitors, using 1 µF capacitors, on the  
REFCAPA, REFCAPB, and REFCAPC pins. The internal  
reference buffers can be disabled in software mode by writing to  
Bit DB8 in the internal control register. If a serial interface is  
selected, the internal reference buffers can be disabled in hardware  
mode by setting the DB14/REFBUFEN/DIS pin high. If the internal  
reference and its buffers are disabled, apply an external buffered  
reference to the REFCAPx pins.  
The output coding of the AD7656A-1 is twos complement. The  
designed code transitions occur midway between successive  
integer LSB values, that is, 1⁄2 LSB, 3⁄2 LSB. The LSB size is  
FSR/65,536 for the AD7656A-1. The ideal transfer characteristic  
is shown in Figure 22.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM  
Figure 24 shows the typical connection diagram for the  
AD7656A-1, illustrating the reduction in the number and value  
of decoupling capacitors that are required. There are eight AVCC  
supply pins on each device. The AVCC supplies are the supplies  
used for the AD7656A-1 conversion process; therefore, decouple  
them well. The AVCC supply applied to the eight AVCC pins can  
be decoupled using just one 1 µF capacitor. The AD7656A-1 can  
operate with the internal reference or an externally applied  
reference. In this configuration, the device is configured to  
operate with the external reference. The REFIN/REFOUT pin is  
decoupled with a 1 µF capacitor. The three internal reference  
buffers are enabled. Each of the REFCAPx pins is decoupled  
with a 1 µF capacitor.  
INTERNAL/EXTERNAL REFERENCE  
The REFIN/REFOUT pin allows access to the 2.5 V reference of  
the AD7656A-1, or it allows an external reference to be  
connected, providing the reference source for conversion.  
The AD7656A-1 can accommodate a 2.5 V external reference.  
When applying an external reference via the REFIN/REFOUT  
pin, the internal reference must be disabled, and the reference  
buffers must be enabled. Alternatively, an external reference can be  
applied via the REFCAPx pins, in which case, disable the internal  
reference, and it is also recommended to disable the reference  
buffers to save power and minimize crosstalk. After a reset, the  
AD7656A-1 defaults to operating in external reference mode with  
the internal reference disabled and the reference buffers  
enabled.  
If the same supply is being used for the AVCC and DVCC supplies,  
place a ferrite or small RC filter between the supply pins.  
The internal reference can be enabled in either hardware or  
software mode. To enable the internal reference in hardware mode,  
The AGND pins are connected to the analog ground plane of  
the system. The DGND pins are connected to the digital ground  
plane in the system. Connect the AGND and DGND planes  
together at one place in the system. Make this connection as  
close as possible to the AD7656A-1 in the system.  
H
set the /S SEL pin to 0 and the REFEN/DIS pin to 1. To enable the  
H
internal reference in software mode, set /S SEL to 1 and write to  
the control register to set Bit DB9 of the register to 1. For the  
internal reference mode, decouple the REFIN/REFOUT pin using a  
1 µF capacitor.

Figure 24. Typical Connection Diagram  
The VDRIVE supply is connected to the same supply as the  
processor. The voltage on VDRIVE controls the voltage value of  
the output logic signals.  
Four read pulses (in parallel mode) are applied and data from  
V1, V2, V5, and V6 are output. Data from V3 and V4 is not  
output because CONVST B was not toggled in this cycle.  
However, when in serial mode, all zeros are output in place of  
the ADC result for ADCs not included in the conversion cycle.  
See the Serial Interface (SER//SEL = 1) section for more  
information.  
Decouple the VDD and VSS signals with a minimum 1 μF decoupling  
capacitor. These supplies are used for the high voltage analog  
input structures on the AD7656A-1 analog inputs.  
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS  
Parallel Interface (SER/ /SEL = 0)  
PAR  
Together, the driver amplifier and the analog input circuit used  
for the AD7656A-1 must settle for a full-scale step input to a 16-bit  
level (0.0015%), which is within the specified 550 ns acquisition  
time of the AD7656A-1. The noise generated by the driver  
amplifier must be kept as low as possible to preserve the signal-  
to-noise ratio (SNR) and transition noise performance of the  
AD7656A-1. In addition, the driver also needs to have a THD  
performance suitable for the AD7656A-1.  
The AD7656A-1 consists of six 16-bit ADCs. A simultaneous  
sample of all six ADCs can be performed by connecting all  
three CONVST x pins (CONVST A, CONVST B, and  
CONVST C) together. The AD7656A-1 needs to see a CONVST x  
pulse to initiate a conversion, consisting of a falling CONVST x  
edge followed by a rising CONVST x edge. The rising edge of  
CONVST x initiates simultaneous conversions on the selected  
ADCs. The AD7656A-1 contains an on-chip oscillator that is  
used to perform the conversions. The conversion time, tCONV, is  
3 μs. The BUSY signal goes low to indicate the end of a  
conversion. The falling edge of the BUSY signal is used to place  
the track-and-hold amplifier into track mode.  
The AD8021 meets these requirements. The AD8021 needs an  
external compensation capacitor of 10 pF. If a dual version of  
the AD8021 is required, the AD8022 can be used. The AD8610  
and the AD797 can also be used to drive the AD7656A-1.  
INTERFACE OPTIONS  
The AD7656A-1 also allows the six ADCs to be converted  
simultaneously in pairs by pulsing the three CONVST x pins  
independently. CONVST A is used to initiate simultaneous  
conversions on V1 and V2, CONVST B is used to initiate  
simultaneous conversions on V3 and V4, and CONVST C is used  
to initiate simultaneous conversions on V5 and V6. The conversion  
results from the simultaneously sampled ADCs are stored in the  
output data registers. Note that when a rising edge occurs on any  
one CONVST x pin to initiate a conversion, any further CONVST  
rising edges on any of the CONVST x pins are ignored while BUSY  
is high.  
The AD7656A-1 provides two interface options: a high speed  
parallel interface and a high speed serial interface. The required  
interface mode is selected via the SER/  
interface can operate in word ( /B = 0) or byte ( /B = 1)  
mode. When in serial mode, the AD7656A-1 can be configured  
into daisy-chain mode.

When in parallel mode, a read operation only accesses the results  
related to conversions that have just occurred. For example,  
consider the case where CONVST A and CONVST C are toggled  
simultaneously but CONVST B is not used. At the end of the  
conversion process, when BUSY goes low, a read is implemented.

AD7656A-1 can be configured to operate in byte mode ( /B = 1).  
can be used to access the conversion results. A read operation  
can take place after the BUSY signal goes low. The number of  
required read operations depends on the number of ADCs that  
are simultaneously sampled (see Figure 25). If CONVST A  
and CONVST B are simultaneously brought low, four read  
operations are required to obtain the conversion results from  
V1, V2, V3, and V4. If CONVST A and CONVST C are  
simultaneously brought low, four read operations are required  
to obtain the conversion results from V1, V2, V5, and V6.  
The conversion results are output in ascending order.  
In this configuration, the DB7/HBEN/DCEN pin takes on its  
HBEN function. Each channel conversion result from the  
AD7656A-1 can be accessed in two read operations, with eight  
bits of data provided on DB15 to DB8 for each of the read  
operations (see Figure 26). The HBEN pin determines whether  
the read operation first accesses the high byte or the low byte of  
the 16-bit conversion result. To always access the low byte first  
on DB15 to DB8, tie the HBEN pin low. To always access the  
high byte first on DB15 to DB8, tie the HBEN pin high. In byte  
mode when all three CONVST x pins are pulsed together to initiate  
simultaneous conversions on all six ADCs, 12 read operations  
are necessary to read back the six 16-bit conversion results.  
Leave DB6 to DB0 unconnected in byte mode.  
When using the three CONVST x signals to independently  
initiate conversions on the three ADC pairs, when a rising edge  
occurs on any one CONVST x pin to initiate a conversion, any  
further CONVST rising edges on any of the CONVST x pins are  
ignored while BUSY is high.

When reading conversion data back from the AD7656A-1 using  
one, two, three DOUT x pins, it is possible to configure the  
AD7656A-1 to operate in daisy-chain mode by using the DCEN  
pin. This daisy-chain feature allows multiple AD7656A-1 devices  
to be cascaded together and is useful for reducing the component  
count and wiring connections. An example connection of two  
devices is shown in Figure 31. This configuration shows two  
DOUT x lines being used for each device. Simultaneous sampling  
of the 12 analog inputs is possible by using a common CONVST x  
signal. The DB5, DB4, and DB3 data pins are used as the  
DCIN A to DCIN C data input pins for the daisy-chain mode.

this example. frames a 96-SCLK transfer. During the first  
48 SCLKs, the conversion data is transferred from Device 2 to  
Device 1. DOUT A on Device 2 transfers conversion data from  
V1, V2, and V5 into DCIN A in Device 1; and DOUT B on  
Device 2 transfers conversion results from V3, V4, and V6 to  
DCIN B in Device 1. During the first 48 SCLKs, Device 1 transfers  
data into the digital host. DOUT A on Device 1 transfers  
conversion data from V1, V2, and V5; DOUT B on Device 1  
transfers conversion data from V3, V4, and V6. During the last  
48-SCLKs, Device 2 clocks out zeros, and Device 1 shifts the  
data clocked in from Device 2 during the first 48-SCLKs into  
the digital host. This example can also be implemented using  
six 16-SCLK individually framed transfers if DCEN remains  
high during the transfers.  
The rising edge of CONVST is used to initiate a conversion on  
the AD7656A-1. After the BUSY signal has gone low to indicate  
that the conversion is complete, the user can begin to read the data  
from the two devices. Figure 32 shows the serial timing diagram  
when operating two AD7656A-1 devices in daisy-chain mode.

Each ADC pair can be individually placed into partial power-  
down mode at the end of their conversion by bringing the  
associated CONVST x signal low before the falling edge of  
BUSY. If a CONVST x pin is low when BUSY goes low, the  
associated ADC pair only enters partial power-down mode if  
they were actually converting within that cycle, that is, if that  
particular CONVST x pin was used to trigger conversions. To  
power an ADC pair back up, bring the CONVST x signal high  
to tell the ADC pair to power up and place the track-and-hold  
amplifier into track mode. After the power-up time from partial  
power-down has elapsed, the CONVST x signal can receive a  
rising edge to initiate a valid conversion. In partial power-down  
mode, the reference buffers remain powered up. When an ADC

are still operational when the AD7656A-1 is in standby mode,  
meaning the user can continue to access the conversion results  
of the device. This standby feature can be used to reduce the  
average power consumed by the AD7656A-1 when operating at  
lower throughput rates. The device can be placed into standby  
at the end of each conversion when BUSY goes low and is taken  
out of standby mode prior to the next conversion. The time for  
the AD7656A-1 to come out of standby is called the wake-up  
time. The wake-up time limits the maximum throughput rate at  
which the AD7656A-1 can operate when powering down between  
conversions. See the Specifications section for additional  
information.

APPLICATION HINTS  
For the power supply lines to the AVCC, DVCC, VDRIVE, VDD, and VSS  
pins on the AD7656A-1, use as large a trace as possible to  
provide low impedance paths and to reduce the effect of glitches  
on the power supply lines. Establish good connections between  
the AD7656A-1 supply pins and the power tracks on the board;  
this must involve the use of a single via or multiple vias for each  
supply pin.  
LAYOUT  
Design the printed circuit board (PCB) that houses the AD7656A-1  
so that the analog and digital sections are separated and confined  
to different areas of the board.  
Use at least one ground plane. The ground plane can be  
common or split between the digital and analog sections. In the  
case of the split plane, join the digital and analog ground in only  
one place, preferably underneath the AD7656A-1, or at least as  
close as possible to the device.  
Good decoupling is also important to lower the supply impedance  
presented to the AD7656A-1 and to reduce the magnitude of  
the supply spikes. Place the decoupling capacitors near, but  
ideally right up against, these pins and their corresponding  
ground pins. Additionally, place low ESR 1 µF capacitors on each  
of the supply pins, the REFIN/REFOUT pin, and each REFCAPx  
pin. Avoid sharing these capacitors between pins, and use vias  
to connect the capacitors to the power and ground planes. In  
addition, use wide, short traces between each via and the  
capacitor pad, or place the vias adjacent to the capacitor pad to  
minimize parasitic inductances. The AD7656A-1 offers the user a  
reduced decoupling solution that is pin and software compatible  
with the AD7656A. The recommended reduced decoupling  
required for AD7656A-1 is outlined in Figure 24.  
If the AD7656A-1 is in a system where multiple devices require  
analog-to-digital ground connections, still make the connection  
at one point only, a star ground point, established as close as  
possible to the AD7656A-1. Make good connections to the  
ground plane. Avoid sharing one connection for multiple  
ground pins. Use individual vias or multiple vias to the ground  
plane for each ground pin.  
Avoid running digital lines under the device because doing so  
couples noise onto the die. Allow the analog ground plane to  
run under the AD7656A-1 to avoid noise coupling. Shield fast  
switching signals like CONVST x or clocks with digital ground  
to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, and  
never run the fast switching signals near the analog signal  
paths. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Run traces  
on layers in close proximity on the board at right angles to each  
other to reduce the effect of feedthrough through the board.
