GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD7859/AD7859L are high speed, low power, 8-channel,  
12-bit ADCs which operate from a single 3 V or 5 V power  
supply, the AD7859 being optimized for speed and the  
AD7859L for low power. The ADC contains self-calibration  
and system calibration options to ensure accurate operation over  
time and temperature and have a number of power-down  
options for low power applications.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
1. Operation with either 3 V or 5 V power supplies.  
2. Flexible power management options including automatic  
power-down after conversion.  
The AD7859 is capable of 200 kHz throughput rate while the  
AD7859L is capable of 100 kHz throughput rate. The input  
track-and-hold acquires a signal in 500 ns and features a pseudo-  
differential sampling scheme. The AD7859 and AD7859L input  
voltage range is 0 to VREF (unipolar) and –VREF/2 to +VREF/2  
about VREF/2 (bipolar) with both straight binary and 2s comple-  
ment output coding respectively. Input signal range is to the  
supply and the part is capable of converting full-power signals to  
100 kHz.  
3. By using the power management options a superior power  
performance at slower throughput rates can be achieved.  
AD7859: 1 mW typ @ 10 kSPS  
AD7859L: 1 mW typ @ 20 kSPS  
4. Operates with reference voltages from 1.2 V to the supply.  
5. Analog input ranges from 0 V to VDD  
6. Self and system calibration.  
.
7. Versatile parallel I/O port.  
8. Lower power version AD7859L.  
CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation of typically  
5.4 mW for normal operation and 3.6 µW in power-down mode.  
The part is available in 44-pin, plastic quad flatpack package  
(PQFP) and plastic lead chip carrier (PLCC).

7The offset and gain calibration spans are defined as the range of offset and gain errors that the AD7859/AD7859L can calibrate. Note also that these are voltage spans  
and are not absolute voltages (i.e., the allowable system offset voltage presented at AIN(+) for the system offset error to be adjusted out will be AIN(–) ±0.05 × VREF  
,
and the allowable system full-scale voltage applied between AIN(+) and AIN(–) for the system full-scale voltage error to be adjusted out will be VREF ± 0.025 × VREF).  
This is explained in more detail in the calibration section of the data sheet.

NOTES  
1Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.  
2Mark/Space ratio for the master clock input is 40/60 to 60/40.  
3The CONVST pulse width will here only apply for normal operation. When the part is in power-down mode, a different CONVST pulse width will apply (see Power-  
Down section).  
4Measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V.  
5t9 is derived form the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated  
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t9, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish  
time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.  
6The typical time specified for the calibration times is for a master clock of 4 MHz. For the L version the calibration times will be longer than those quoted here due to  
the 1.8 MHz master clock.

TERMINOLOGY  
Total Harmonic Distortion  
Integral Nonlinearity  
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of  
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7859/AD7859L, it is  
defined as:  
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing  
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The end-  
points of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1/2 LSB  
below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1/2 LSB  
above the last code transition.

THD (dB) = 20log  
V1  
Differential Nonlinearity  
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.  
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB  
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.  
Unipolar Offset Error  
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise  
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000 to  
00 . . . 001) from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) + 1/2 LSB)  
when operating in the unipolar mode.  
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 deter-  
mined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for parts  
where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it will be a  
noise peak.  
Positive Full-Scale Error  
This applies to the unipolar and bipolar modes and is the devia-  
tion of the last code transition from the ideal AIN(+) voltage  
(AIN(–) + Full Scale – 1.5 LSB) after the offset error has been  
adjusted out.  
Intermodulation Distortion  
Negative Full-Scale Error  
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and  
fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion  
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where  
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. 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), while the  
third order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and  
(fa – 2fb).  
This applies to the bipolar mode only and is the deviation of the  
first code transition (10 . . . 000 to 10 . . . 001) from the ideal  
AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) – VREF/2 + 0.5 LSB).  
Bipolar Zero Error  
This is the deviation of the midscale transition (all 0s to all 1s)  
from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) – 1/2 LSB).  
Track/Hold Acquisition Time  
The track/hold amplifier returns into track mode and the end of  
conversion. Track/Hold acquisition time is the time required for  
the output of the track/hold amplifier to reach its final value,  
within ±1/2 LSB, after the end of conversion.  
Testing is performed using the CCIF standard where two input  
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used. In  
this case, the second order terms are usually distanced in fre-  
quency 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 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 dBs.  
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio  
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the  
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of  
the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental sig-  
nals 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 quantiza-  
tion 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 for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.

REFIN/  
REFOUT  
Reference Input/Output. This pin is connected to the internal reference through a series resistor and is the  
reference source for the analog-to-digital converter. The nominal reference voltage is 2.5 V and this appears at the  
pin. This pin can be overdriven by an external reference or can be taken as high as AVDD. When this pin is tied to  
AVDD, then the CREF1 pin should also be tied to AVDD  
.

DGND  
CREF1  
Analog Ground. Ground reference for track/hold, reference and DAC.  
Digital Supply Voltage, +3.0 V to +5.5 V.  
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for digital circuitry.  
Reference Capacitor (0.1 µF multilayer ceramic). This external capacitor is used as a charge source for the inter-  
nal DAC. The capacitor should be tied between the pin and AGND.  
CREF2  
Reference Capacitor (0.01 µF ceramic disc). This external capacitor is used in conjunction with the on-chip refer-  
ence. The capacitor should be tied between the pin and AGND.  
AIN1–AIN8  
Analog Inputs. Eight analog inputs which can be used as eight single ended inputs (referenced to AGND) or four  
pseudo differential inputs. Channel configuration is selected by writing to the control register. None of the inputs  
can go below AGND or above AVDD at any time. See Table III for channel selection.  
W/B  
Word/Byte input. When this input is at a logic 1, data is transferred to and from the AD7859/AD7859L in 16-bit  
words on pins DB0 to DB15. When this pin is at a Logic 0, byte transfer mode is enabled. Data is transferred on  
pins DB0 to DB7 and pin DB8/HBEN assumes its HBEN functionality.  
DB0–DB7  
Data Bits 0 to 7. Three state data I/O pins that are controlled by CS, RD and WR. Data output is straight binary  
(unipolar mode) or twos complement (bipolar mode).  
DB8/HBEN  
Data Bit 8/High Byte Enable. When W/B is high, this pin acts as Data Bit 7, a three state data I/O pin that is con-  
trolled by CS, RD and WR. When W/B is low, this pin acts as the High Byte Enable pin. When HBEN is low,  
then the low byte of data being written to or read from the AD7859/AD7859L is on DB0 to DB7. When HBEN  
is high, then the high byte of data being written to or read from the AD7859/AD7859L is on DB0 to DB7.

Calibration Input. A logic 0 in this pin resets all logic. A rising edge on this pin initiates a calibration. This input  
overrides all other internal operations.  
BUSY  
SLEEP  
NC  
Busy Output. The busy output is triggered high when a conversion or a calibration is initiated, and remains high  
until the conversion or calibration is completed.  
Sleep Input. This pin is used in conjunction with the PGMT0 and PGMT1 bits in the control register to deter-  
mine the power-down mode. Please see the “Power-Down Options” section for details.  
No connect pins. These pins should be left unconnected.

AD7859/AD7859L  
AD7859/AD7859L ON-CHIP REGISTERS  
The AD7859/AD7859L powers up with a set of default conditions. The only writing that is required is to select the channel configu-  
ration. Without performing any other write operations, the AD7859/AD7859L still retains the flexibility for performing a full power-  
down and a full self-calibration.  
Extra features and flexibility such as performing different power-down options, different types of calibrations, including system cali-  
bration, and software conversion start can be selected by writing to the part.  
The AD7859/AD7859L contains a Control register, ADC output data register, Status register, Test register and 10 Cali-  
bration registers. The control register is write-only, the ADC output data register and the status register are read-only, and the test  
and calibration registers are both read/write registers. The test register is used for testing the part and should not be written to.  
Addressing the On-Chip Registers  
Writing  
When writing to the AD7859/AD7859L, a 16-bit word of data must be transferred. The 16 bits of data is written as either a 16-bit  
word, or as two 8-bit bytes, depending on the logic level at the W/B pin. When W/B is high, the 16 bits are transferred on DB0 to  
DB15, where DB0 is the LSB and DB15 is the MSB of the write. When W/B is low, DB8/HBEN assumes its HBEN functionality  
and data is transferred in two 8-bit bytes on pins DB0 to DB7, pin DB0 being the LSB of each transfer and pin DB7 being the MSB.  
When writing to the AD7859/AD7859L in byte mode, the low byte must be written first followed by the high byte. The two MSBs  
of the complete 16-bit word, ADDR1 and ADDR0, are decoded to determine which register is addressed, and the 14 LSBs are writ-  
ten to the addressed register. Table I shows the decoding of the address bits, while Figure 2 shows the overall write register hierarchy.

This combination addresses the CONTROL REGISTER. The 14 LSBs of data are written to the control

Reading  
To read from the various registers the user must first write to Bits 6 and 7 in the Control Register, RDSLT0 and RDSLT1. These  
bits are decoded to determine which register is addressed during a read operation. Table II shows the decoding of the read address  
bits while Figure 3 shows the overall read register hierarchy. The power-up status of these bits is 00 so that the default read will be  
from the ADC output data register. As with writing to the AD7859/AD7859L either word or byte mode can be used. When reading  
from the calibration registers in byte mode, the low byte must be read first.  
Once the read selection bits are set in the control register all subsequent read operations that follow are from the selected register un-  
til the read selection bits are changed in the control register.

AMODE  
Analog Mode Bit. This bit has two different functions, depending on the status of the SGL/DIFF bit.  
When SGL/DIFF is 0, AMODE selects between unipolar and bipolar analog input ranges. A logic 0 in  
this bit position selects the unipolar range, 0 to VREF (i.e., AIN(+) – AIN(–) = 0 to VREF). A logic 1 in  
this bit position selects the bipolar range –VREF/2 to +VREF/2 (i.e., AIN(+) – AIN(–) = –VREF /2 to  
+VREF/2). In this case AIN(–) needs to be tied to at least +VREF/2 to allow AIN(+) to have a full input  
swing from 0 V to +VREF  
.
When SGL/DIFF is 1, AMODE selects the source for the AIN(–) channel of the sample and hold cir-  
cuitry. If AMODE is a 0, AGND is selected. If AMODE is a 1, then AIN8 is selected. Please see

CALIBRATION REGISTERS  
The AD7859/AD7859L has 10 calibration registers in all, 8 for the DAC, 1 for offset and 1 for gain. Data can be written to or read  
from all 10 calibration registers. In self and system calibration, the part automatically modifies the calibration registers; only if the  
user needs to modify the calibration registers should an attempt be made to read from and write to the calibration registers.  
Addressing the Calibration Registers  
The calibration selection bits in the control register CALSLT1 and CALSLT0 determine which of the calibration registers are ad-  
dressed (See Table V). The addressing applies to both the read and write operations for the calibration registers. The user should not  
attempt to read from and write to the calibration registers at the same time.

Writing to/Reading from the Calibration Registers  
When reading from the calibration registers there is always two  
leading zeros for each of the registers.  
When writing to the calibration registers a write to the control  
register is required to set the CALSLT0 and CALSLT1 bits.  
When reading from the calibration registers a write to the con-  
trol register is required to set the CALSLT0 and CALSLT1 bits  
and also to set the RDSLT1 and RDSLT0 bits to 10 (this ad-  
dresses the calibration registers for reading). The calibration  
register pointer is reset on writing to the control register setting  
the CALSLT1 and CALSLT0 bits, or upon completion of all  
the calibration register write/read operations. When reset it  
points to the first calibration register in the selected write/read  
sequence. The calibration register pointer points to the gain  
calibration register upon reset in all but one case, this case being  
where the offset calibration register is selected on its own  
(CALSLT1 = 1, CALSLT0 = 0). Where more than one cali-  
bration register is being accessed, the calibration register pointer  
is automatically incremented after each full calibration register  
write/read operation. The calibration register address pointer is  
incremented after the high byte read or write operation in byte  
mode. Therefore when reading (in byte mode) from the calibra-  
tion registers, the low byte must always be read first, i.e., HBEN  
= logic zero. The order in which the 10 calibration registers are  
arranged is shown in Figure 5. Read/Write operations may be  
aborted at any time before all the calibration registers have been  
accessed, and the next control register write operation resets the  
calibration register pointer. The flowchart in Figure 6 shows the  
sequence for writing to the calibration registers. Figure 7 shows  
the sequence for reading from the calibration registers.

±(0.05 × VREF)/213 volts. This equals ±0.015 mV, with a 2.5 V  
reference. The maximum offset that can be compensated for is  
±5% of the reference voltage, which equates to ±125 mV with a  
2.5 V reference and ±250 mV with a 5 V reference.

Q. If a +20 mV offset is present in the analog input signal and the  
reference voltage is 2.5 V, what code needs to be written to the  
offset register to compensate for the offset ?  
READ CAL REGISTER  
A. 2.5 V reference implies that the resolution in the offset reg-  
ister is 5% × 2.5 V/213 = 0.015 mV. +20 mV/0.015 mV =  
1310.72; rounding to the nearest number gives 1311. In  
binary terms this is 00 0101 0001 1111, therefore increase  
the offset register by 00 0101 0001 1111.

This method of compensating for offset in the analog input sig-  
nal allows for fine tuning the offset compensation. If the offset  
on the analog input signal is known, there is no need to apply  
the offset voltage to the analog input pins and do a system cali-  
bration. The offset compensation can take place in software.

Adjusting the Gain Calibration Register  
The gain calibration register contains 16 bits. The two MSBs  
are zero and the 14 LSBs contain gain data. As in the offset cali-  
brating register the data bits in the gain calibration register are  
binary weighted, with the MSB having a weighting of 2.5% of  
the reference voltage. The gain register value is effectively multi-  
plied by the analog input to scale the conversion result over the  
full range. Increasing the gain register compensates for a  
smaller analog input range and decreasing the gain register com-  
pensates for a larger input range. The maximum analog input  
range that the gain register can compensate for is 1.025 times  
the reference voltage, and the minimum input range is 0.975  
times the reference voltage.

Adjusting the Offset Calibration Register  
The offset calibration register contains 16 bits. The two MSBs  
are zero and the 14 LSBs contain offset data. By changing the  
contents of the offset register, different amounts of offset on the  
analog input signal can be compensated for. Decreasing the  
number in the offset calibration register compensates for nega-  
tive offset on the analog input signal, and increasing the number  
in the offset calibration register compensates for positive offset  
on the analog input signal. The default value of the offset cali-  
bration register is 0010 0000 0000 0000 approximately. This is  
not the exact value, but the value in the offset register should be  
close to this value. Each of the 14 data bits in the offset register  
is binary weighted; the MSB has a weighting of 5% of the refer-

and 1.5 CLKIN periods are allowed for the acquisition time.  
With a 1.8 MHz clock, this gives a full cycle time of 10 µs,  
which equates to a throughput rate of 100 kSPS.  
The AD7859/AD7859L is a fast, 8-channel, 12-bit, single sup-  
ply A/D converter. The part requires an external 4 MHz/1.8  
MHz master clock (CLKIN), two CREF capacitors, a CONVST  
signal to start conversion and power supply decoupling capaci-  
tors. The part provides the user with track/hold, on-chip refer-  
ence, calibration features, A/D converter and parallel interface  
logic functions on a single chip. The A/D converter section of  
the AD7859/AD7859L consists of a conventional successive-ap-  
proximation converter based around a capacitor DAC. The  
AD7859/AD7859L accepts an analog input range of 0 to +VREF.  
VREF can be tied to VDD. The reference input to the part con-  
nected via a 150 kresistor to the internal 2.5 V reference and  
to the on-chip buffer.  
When using the software conversion start for maximum  
throughput, the user must ensure the control register write op-  
eration extends beyond the falling edge of BUSY. The falling  
edge of BUSY resets the CONVST bit to 0 and allows it to be  
reprogrammed to 1 to start the next conversion.  
TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM  
Figure 8 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7859/  
AD7859L. The AGND and the DGND pins are connected  
together at the device for good noise suppression. The first  
CONVST applied after power-up starts a self-calibration  
sequence. This is explained in the calibration section of this data  
sheet. Note that after power is applied to AVDD and DVDD and  
the CONVST signal is applied, the part requires (70 ms + 1/  
sample rate) for the internal reference to settle and for the self-  
calibration on power-up to be completed.  
A major advantage of the AD7859/AD7859L is that a conver-  
sion can be initiated in software, as well as by applying a signal  
to the CONVST pin. The part is available in a 44-pin PLCC or a  
44-pin PQFP package, and this offers the user considerable  
spacing saving advantages over alternative solutions. The  
AD7859L version typically consumes only 5.5 mW making it  
ideal for battery-powered applications.

The master clock for the part is applied to the CLKIN pin.  
Conversion is initiated on the AD7859/AD7859L by pulsing the  
CONVST input or by writing to the control register and setting  
the CONVST bit to 1. On the rising edge of CONVST (or at  
the end of the control register write operation), the on-chip  
track/hold goes from track to hold mode. The falling edge of the  
CLKIN signal which follows the rising edge of CONVST ini-  
tiates the conversion, provided the rising edge of CONVST (or  
WR when converting via the control register) occurs typically at  
least 10 ns before this CLKIN edge. The conversion takes 16.5  
CLKIN periods from this CLKIN falling edge. If the 10 ns set-  
up time is not met, the conversion takes 17.5 CLKIN periods.

When a conversion is completed, the BUSY output goes low,  
and the result of the conversion can be read by accessing the  
data through the data bus. To obtain optimum performance  
from the part, read or write operations should not occur during  
the conversion or less than 200 ns prior to the next CONVST  
rising edge. Reading/writing during conversion typically de-  
grades the Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) by less than 0.5 dBs.  
The AD7859 can operate at throughput rates of over 200 kSPS  
(up to 100 kSPS for the AD7859L).

ANALOG INPUT  
DC/AC Applications  
The equivalent analog input circuit is shown in Figure 9. AIN(+)  
is the channel connected to the positive input of the track/hold  
circuitry and AIN(–) is the channel connected to the negative  
input. Please refer to Table IIIa and Table IIIb for channel  
configuration.  
For dc applications, high source impedances are acceptable,  
provided there is enough acquisition time between conversions  
to charge the 20 pF capacitor. For example with RIN = 5 k,  
the required acquisition time is 922 ns.  
For ac applications, removing high frequency components  
greater than the Nyquist frequency from the analog input signal  
is recommended by use of a low- pass filter on the AIN(+) pin,  
as shown in Figure 11. In applications where harmonic distor-  
tion and signal to noise ratio are critical, the analog input should  
be driven from a low impedance source. Large source imped-  
ances significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC. They  
may require the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of  
the amplifier is a function of the particular application.  
During the acquisition interval the switches are both in the track  
position and the AIN(+) charges the 20 pF capacitor through  
the 125 resistance. The rising edge of CONVST switches  
SW1 and SW2 go into the hold position retaining charge on the  
20 pF capacitor as a sample of the signal on AIN(+). The AIN(–)  
is connected to the 20 pF capacitor, and this unbalances the  
voltage at node A at the input of the comparator. The capacitor  
DAC adjusts during the remainder of the conversion cycle to  
restore the voltage at node A to the correct value. This action  
transfers a charge, representing the analog input signal, to the  
capacitor DAC which in turn forms a digital representation of  
the analog input signal. The voltage on the AIN(–) pin directly  
influences the charge transferred to the capacitor DAC at the  
hold instant. If this voltage changes during the conversion  
period, the DAC representation of the analog input voltage is  
altered. Therefore it is most important that the voltage on the  
AIN(–) pin remains constant during the conversion period.  
Furthermore, it is recommended that the AIN(–) pin is always  
connected to AGND or to a fixed dc voltage.  
The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of to-  
tal harmonic distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD  
increases as the source impedance increases. Figure 10 shows a  
graph of the Total Harmonic Distortion vs. analog input signal  
frequency for different source impedances. With the setup as in  
Figure 11, the THD is at the –90 dB level. With a source im-  
pedance of 1 kand no capacitor on the AIN(+) pin, the THD  
increases with frequency.

Acquisition Time  
INPUT FREQUENCY – kHz  
The track-and-hold amplifier enters its tracking mode on the  
falling edge of the BUSY signal. The time required for the  
track-and-hold amplifier to acquire an input signal will depend  
on how quickly the 20 pF input capacitance is charged. There is  
a minimum acquisition time of 400 ns. This includes the time  
required to change channels. For large source impedances, >2 k,  
the acquisition time is calculated using the formula:  
Figure 10. THD vs. Analog Input Frequency  
In a single supply application (both 3 V and 5 V), the V+ and  
V– of the op amp can be taken directly from the supplies to the  
AD7859/AD7859L which eliminates the need for extra external  
power supplies. When operating with rail-to-rail inputs and out-  
puts at frequencies greater than 10 kHz, care must be taken in  
selecting the particular op amp for the application. In particular,  
for single supply applications the input amplifiers should be  
connected in a gain of –1 arrangement to get the optimum per-  
formance. Figure 11 shows the arrangement for a single supply  
application with a 50 and 10 nF low-pass filter (cutoff fre-  
quency 320 kHz) on the AIN(+) pin. Note that the 10 nF is a  
capacitor with good linearity to ensure good ac performance.  
Recommended single supply op amps are the AD820 and the  
AD820-3V.

Figure 13 shows the AD7859/AD7859L’s ±VREF/2 bipolar ana-

the full bipolar range, AIN(–) should be biased to at least  
+VREF/2. Once again the designed code transitions occur mid-  
way between successive integer LSB values. The output coding  
is 2s complement with 1 LSB = 4096 = 3.3 V/4096 = 0.8 mV.  
The ideal input/output transfer characteristic is shown in Fig-  
ure 15.  
Note that the AIN(–) channel on the AD7859/AD7859L can be  
biased up above AGND in the unipolar mode, or above VREF/2  
in bipolar mode if required. The advantage of biasing the lower  
end of the analog input range away from AGND is that the ana-  
log input does not have to swing all the way down to AGND.  
Thus, in single supply applications the input amplifier does not  
have to swing all the way down to AGND. The upper end of the  
analog input range is shifted up by the same amount. Care must  
be taken so that the bias applied does not shift the upper end of  
the analog input above the AVDD supply. In the case where the  
reference is the supply, AVDD, the AIN(–) should be tied to  
AGND in unipolar mode or to AVDD/2 in bipolar mode.

AD7859/AD7859L PERFORMANCE CURVES  
For specified performance, it is recommended that when using  
an external reference, this reference should be between 2.3 V  
and the analog supply AVDD. The connections for the reference  
pins are shown below. If the internal reference is being used,  
the REFIN/REFOUT pin should be decoupled with a 100 nF  
capacitor to AGND very close to the REFIN/REFOUT pin. These  
connections are shown in Figure 16.

This external reference can be in the range 2.3 V to AVDD

When using AVDD as the reference source, the 10 nF capacitor  
from the REFIN/REFOUT pin to AGND should be as close as  
possible to the REFIN/REFOUT pin, and also the CREF1 pin  
should be connected to AVDD to keep this pin at the same volt-  
age as the reference. The connections for this arrangement are  
shown in Figure 17. When using AVDD it may be necessary to  
add a resistor in series with the AVDD supply. This has the effect  
of filtering the noise associated with the AVDD supply.

the power of a full-scale sine wave.  
Note that when using an external reference, the voltage present  
at the REFIN/REFOUT pin is determined by the external refer-  
ence source resistance and the series resistance of 150 kfrom  
the REFIN/REFOUT pin to the internal 2.5 V reference. Thus, a  
low source impedance external reference is recommended.

POWER-DOWN OPTIONS  
POWER-UP TIMES  
Using An External Reference  
The AD7859/AD7859L provides flexible power management to  
allow the user to achieve the best power performance for a given  
throughput rate. The power management options are selected  
by programming the power management bits, PMGT1 and  
PMGT0, in the control register and by use of the SLEEP pin.  
Table VII summarizes the power-down options that are avail-  
able and how they can be selected by using either software,  
hardware or a combination of both. The AD7859/AD7859L can  
be fully or partially powered down. When fully powered down,  
all the on-chip circuitry is powered down and IDD is 10 µA typ.  
If a partial power-down is selected, then all the on-chip circuitry  
except the reference is powered down and IDD is 400 µA typ.  
The choice of full or partial power-down does not give any sig-  
nificant improvement in throughput with a power-down between  
conversions. This is discussed in the next section—Power-Up  
Times. But a partial power-down does allow the on-chip refer-  
ence to be used externally even though the rest of the AD7859/  
AD7859L circuitry is powered down. It also allows the  
AD7859/AD7859L to be powered up faster after a long power-  
down period when using the on-chip reference (See Power-Up  
TimesUsing On-Chip Reference).  
When the AD7859/AD7859L are powered up, the parts are  
powered up from one of two conditions. First, when the power  
supplies are initially powered up and, secondly, when the parts  
are powered up from either a hardware or software power-down  
(see last section).  
When AVDD and DVDD are powered up, the AD7859/AD7859L  
enters a mode whereby the CONVST signal initiates a timeout  
followed by a self-calibration. The total time taken for this time-  
out and calibration is approximately 70 ms—see Calibration on  
Power-Up in the calibration section of this data sheet. During  
power-up the functionality of the SLEEP pin is disabled, i.e.,  
the part will not power down until the end of the calibration if  
SLEEP is tied logic low. The power-up calibration mode can be  
disabled if the user writes to the control register before a  
CONVST signal is applied. If the time out and self-calibration  
are disabled, then the user must take into account the time  
required by the AD7859/AD7859L to power up before a self-  
calibration is carried out. This power-up time is the time taken  
for the AD7859/AD7859L to power up when power is first  
applied (300 µs typ) or the time it takes the external reference to  
settle to the 12-bit level—whichever is the longer.  
When using the SLEEP pin, the power management bits  
PMGT1 and PMGT0 should be set to zero. Bringing the  
SLEEP pin logic high ensures normal operation, and the part  
does not power down at any stage. This may be necessary if the  
part is being used at high throughput rates when it is not pos-  
sible to power down between conversions. If the user wishes to  
power down between conversions at lower throughput rates  
(i.e., <100 kSPS for the AD7859 and <60 kSPS for the  
AD7859L) to achieve better power performances, then the  
SLEEP pin should be tied logic low.  
The AD7859/AD7859L powers up from a full hardware or soft-  
ware power-down in 5 µs typ. This limits the throughput which  
the part is capable of to 100 kSPS for the AD7859 and 60 kSPS  
for the AD7859L when powering down between conversions.  
Figure 21 shows how power-down between conversions is  
implemented using the CONVST pin. The user first selects the  
power-down between conversions option by using the SLEEP  
pin and the power management bits, PMGT1 and PMGT0, in  
the control register. See last section. In this mode the AD7859/  
AD7859L automatically enters a full power-down at the end of  
a conversion, i.e., when BUSY goes low. The falling edge of the  
next CONVST pulse causes the part to power up. Assuming the  
external reference is left powered up, the AD7859/AD7859L  
should be ready for normal operation 5 µs after this falling edge.  
The rising edge of CONVST initiates a conversion so the  
CONVST pulse should be at least 5 µs wide. The part automati-  
cally powers down on completion of the conversion. Where the  
software convert start is used, the part may be powered up in  
software before a conversion is initiated.  
If the power-down options are to be selected in software only,  
then the SLEEP pin should be tied logic high. By setting the  
power management bits PMGT1 and PMGT0 as shown in  
Table VII, a Full Power-Down, Full Power-Up, Full Power-  
Down Between Conversions, and a Partial Power-Down Be-  
tween Conversions can be selected.  
A combination of hardware and software selection can also be  
used to achieve the desired effect.

POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE  
The main advantage of a full power-down after a conversion is  
that it significantly reduces the power consumption of the part  
at lower throughput rates. When using this mode of operation,  
the AD7859/AD7859L is only powered up for the duration of  
the conversion. If the power-up time of the AD7859/AD7859L  
is taken to be 5 µs and it is assumed that the current during  
power up is 4.5 mA/1.5 mA typ, then power consumption as a  
function of throughput can easily be calculated. The AD7859  
has a conversion time of 4.6 µs with a 4 MHz external clock and  
the AD7859L has a conversion time of 9 µs with a 1.8 MHz  
clock. This means the AD7859/AD7859L consumes 4.5 mA/  
1.5 mA typ for 9.6 µs/14 µs in every conversion cycle if the parts  
are powered down at the end of a conversion. The two graphs,  
Figure 24 and Figure 25, show the power consumption of the  
AD7859 and AD7859L for VDD = 3 V as a function of through-  
put. Table VIII lists the power consumption for various  
throughput rates.

Using The Internal (On-Chip) Reference  
As in the case of an external reference, the AD7859/AD7859L  
can power up from one of two conditions, power-up after the  
supplies are connected or power-up from hardware/software  
power-down.  
When using the on-chip reference and powering up when AVDD  
and DVDD are first connected, it is recommended that the  
power-up calibration mode be disabled as explained above.  
When using the on-chip reference, the power-up time is effec-  
tively the time it takes to charge up the external capacitor on the  
REFIN/REFOUT pin. This time is given by the equation:

When CREF is fully charged, the power-up time from a hardware  
or software power-down reduces to 5 µs. This is because an in-  
ternal switch opens to provide a high impedance discharge path  
for the reference capacitor during power-down—see Figure 22.  
An added advantage of the low charge leakage from the refer-  
ence capacitor during power-down is that even though the refer-  
ence is being powered down between conversions, the reference  
capacitor holds the reference voltage to within 0.5 LSBs with  
throughput rates of 100 samples/second and over with a full  
power-down between conversions. A high input impedance op  
amp like the AD707 should be used to buffer this reference  
capacitor if it is being used externally. Note, if the AD7859/  
AD7859L is left in its powered-down state for more than  
100 ms, the charge on CREF will start to leak away and the  
power-up time will increase. If this long power-up time is a  
problem, the user can use a partial power-down for the last con-  
version so the reference remains powered up.

POWER-ON  
The automatic calibration that is performed on power-up  
ensures that the calibration options covered in this section are  
not required in a significant number of applications. A calibra-  
tion does not have to be initiated unless the operating condi-  
tions change (CLKIN frequency, analog input mode, reference  
voltage, temperature, and supply voltages). The AD7859/  
AD7859L has a number of calibration features that may be  
required in some applications, and there are a number of advan-  
tages in performing these different types of calibration. First, the  
internal errors in the ADC can be reduced significantly to give  
superior dc performance; and second, system offset and gain er-  
rors can be removed. This allows the user to remove reference  
errors (whether it be internal or external reference) and to make  
use of the full dynamic range of the AD7859/AD7859L by ad-  
justing the analog input range of the part for a specific system.

Figure 28. Timing Arrangement for Autocalibration on  
Power-On  
The CONVST signal is gated with the BUSY internally so that  
as soon as the timeout is initiated by the first CONVST pulse all  
subsequent CONVST pulses are ignored until the BUSY signal  
goes low, 32/72 ms later. The CONVST pulse that follows after  
the BUSY signal goes low initiates a full self-calibration. This  
takes a further 32/72 ms. After calibration, the part is accurate  
to the 12-bit level and the specifications quoted on the data  
sheet apply; all subsequent CONVST pulses initiate conver-  
sions. There is no need to perform another calibration unless  
the operating conditions change or unless a system calibration is  
required.  
There are two main calibration modes on the AD7859/AD7859L,  
self-calibration and system calibration. There are various op-  
tions in both self-calibration and system calibration as outlined  
previously in Table IV. All the calibration functions are initi-  
ated by writing to the control register and setting the STCAL  
bit to 1.  
The duration of each of the different types of calibration is given  
in Table IX for the AD7859 with a 4 MHz master clock. These  
calibration times are master clock dependent. Therefore the  
calibration times for the AD7859L (CLKIN = 1.8 MHz) are  
larger than those quoted in Table IX.  
This autocalibration at power-on is disabled if the user writes to  
the control register before the autocalibration is initiated. If the  
control register write operation occurs during the first 32/72 ms  
timeout period, then the BUSY signal stays high for the 32/72  
ms and the CONVST pulse that follows the BUSY going low  
does not initiate a full self-calibration. It initiates a conversion  
and all subsequent CONVST pulses initiate conversions as well.  
If the control register write operation occurs when the automatic  
full self-calibration is in progress, then the calibration is not be  
aborted; the BUSY signal remains high until the automatic full  
self-calibration is complete.

Self-Calibration Description  
Gain  
There are four different calibration options within the self-  
calibration mode. There is a full self-calibration where the  
DAC, internal offset, and internal gain errors are removed.  
There is the (Gain + Offset) self-calibration which removes the  
internal gain error and then the internal offset errors. The inter-  
nal DAC is not calibrated here. Finally, there are the self-offset  
and self-gain calibrations which remove the internal offset errors  
and the internal gain errors respectively.  
Calibration on Power-On  
The calibration on power-on is initiated by the first CONVST  
pulse after the AVDD and DVDD power on. From the CONVST  
pulse the part internally sets a 32/72 ms (4 MHz/1.8 MHz  
CLKIN) timeout. This time is large enough to ensure that the  
internal reference has settled before the calibration is performed.  
However, if an external reference is being used, this reference  
must have stabilized before the automatic calibration is initiated.  
This first CONVST pulse also triggers the BUSY signal high,  
and once the 32/72 ms has elapsed, the BUSY signal goes low.  
At this point the next CONVST pulse that is applied initiates  
the automatic full self-calibration. This CONVST pulse again  
triggers the BUSY signal high, and after 32/72 ms (4 MHz/  
1.8 MHz CLKIN), the calibration is completed and the BUSY  
signal goes low. This timing arrangement is shown in Figure 28.  
The times in Figure 28 assume a 4 MHz/1.8 MHz CLKIN signal.  
The internal capacitor DAC is calibrated by trimming each of  
the capacitors in the DAC. It is the ratio of these capacitors to  
each other that is critical, and so the calibration algorithm en-  
sures that this ratio is at a specific value by the end of the cali-  
bration routine. For the offset and gain there are two separate  
capacitors, one of which is trimmed during offset calibration  
and one of which is trimmed during gain calibration.  
In Bipolar Mode the midscale error is adjusted by an offset cali-  
bration and the positive full-scale error is adjusted by the gain  
calibration. In Unipolar Mode the zero-scale error is adjusted  
by the offset calibration and the positive full-scale error is ad-  
justed by the gain calibration.

Self-Calibration Timing  
Figure 31 shows a system gain calibration (assuming a system  
full scale greater than the reference voltage) where the analog  
input range has been increased after the system gain calibration  
is completed. A system full-scale voltage less than the reference  
voltage may also be accounted for a by a system gain calibration.  
Figure 29 shows the timing for a software full self-calibration.  
Here the BUSY line stays high for the full length of the self-  
calibration. A self-calibration is initiated by writing to the  
control register and setting the STCAL bit to 1. The BUSY line  
goes high at the end of the write to the control register, and  
BUSY goes low when the full self-calibration is complete after a  
time tCAL as show in Figure 29.

the top end to account for the system full scale.

System calibration allows the user to remove system errors ex-

for the system offset errors is ±5% of VREF and for the system  
gain errors, it is ±2.5% of VREF. If the system offset or system  
gain errors are outside these ranges, the system calibration algo-  
rithm reduces the errors as much as the trim range allows.

System Gain and Offset Interaction  
The timing for a system (gain + offset) calibration is very similar  
to that of Figure 33, the only difference being that the time  
The architecture of the AD7859/AD7859L leads to an interac-  
tion between the system offset and gain errors when a system  
calibration is performed. Therefore, it is recommended to per-  
form the cycle of a system offset calibration followed by a sys-  
tem gain calibration twice. When a system offset calibration is  
performed, the system offset error is reduced to zero. If this is  
followed by a system gain calibration, then the system gain error  
is now zero, but the system offset error is no longer zero. A sec-  
ond sequence of system offset error calibration followed by a  
system gain calibration is necessary to reduce system offset error  
to below the 12-bit level. The advantage of doing separate  
system offset and system gain calibrations is that the user has  
more control over when the analog inputs need to be at the  
required levels, and the CONVST signal does not have to be  
used.  
t
CAL1 is replaced by a shorter time of the order of tCAL2 as the in-  
ternal DAC is not calibrated. The BUSY signal signifies when  
the gain calibration is finished and when the part is ready for the  
offset calibration.

Alternatively, a system (gain + offset) calibration can be per-  
formed. At the end of one system (gain + offset) calibration, the  
system offset error is zero, while the system gain error is reduced  
from its initial value. Three system (gain + offset) calibrations  
are required to reduce the system gain error to below the 12-bit  
error level. There is never any need to perform more than three  
system (gain + offset) calibrations.

Figure 33. Timing Diagram for Full System Calibration  
The timing diagram for a system offset or system gain calibra-  
tion is shown in Figure 34. Here again a write to the control reg-  
ister initiates the calibration sequence. At the end of the control  
register write operation the BUSY line goes high and it stays  
high until the calibration sequence is finished. The analog input  
should be set at the correct level for a minimum setup time  
(tSETUP) of 100 ns before the CS rising edge and stay at the cor-  
rect level until the BUSY signal goes low.  
In bipolar mode the midscale error is adjusted for an offset cali-  
bration and the positive full-scale error is adjusted for the gain  
calibration; in unipolar mode the zero-scale error is adjusted for  
an offset calibration and the positive full-scale error is adjusted  
for a gain calibration.  
System Calibration Timing  
The timing diagram in Figure 33 is for a software full system  
calibration. It may be easier in some applications to perform  
separate gain and offset calibrations so that the CONVST bit in  
the control register does not have to be programmed in the  
middle of the system calibration sequence. Once the write to the  
control register setting the bits for a full system calibration is  
completed, calibration of the internal DAC is initiated and the  
BUSY line goes high. The full-scale system voltage should be  
applied to the analog input pins, AIN(+) and AIN(–) at the start  
of calibration. The BUSY line goes low once the DAC and sys-  
tem gain calibration are complete. Next the system offset volt-  
age should be applied across the AIN(+) and AIN(–) pins for a  
minimum setup time (tSETUP) of 100 ns before the rising edge of  
CS. This second write to the control register sets the CONVST  
bit to 1 and at the end of this write operation the BUSY signal is  
triggered high (note that a CONVST pulse can be applied in-  
stead of this second write to the control register). The BUSY  
signal is low after a time tCAL2 when the system offset calibration  
section is complete. The full system calibration is now complete.

Figure 35 shows the read cycle timing diagram for 16-bit trans-  
PARALLEL INTERFACE  
fers for the AD7859. When operated in word mode, the HBEN  
input does not exist, and only the first read operation is required  
to access data from the AD7859. Valid data, in this case, is pro-  
vided on DB0–DB15. When operated in byte mode, the two  
read cycles shown in Figure 36 are required to access the full data  
word from the AD7859. Note that in byte mode, the order of  
successive read operations is important when reading the cali-  
bration registers. This is because the register file address pointer  
is incremented on a high byte read as explained in the calibra-  
tion register section of this data sheet. In this case the order of  
the read should always be Low Byte–High Byte. In Figure 36,  
the first read places the lower 8 bits of the full data word on  
DB0–DB7 and the second read places the upper 8 bits of the  
data word on DB0–DB7.  
The AD7859 provides a flexible, high speed, parallel interface.  
This interface is capable of operating in either word (with the  
W/B pin tied high) or byte (with W/B tied low) mode. A detailed  
description of the different interface arrangements follows.  
Reading  
With the W/B pin at a logic high, the AD7859 interface operates  
in word mode. In this case, a single read operation from the  
device accesses the word on pins DB0 to DB15 (for a data read,  
the 12-bit conversion result appears on DB0–DB11). DB0 is  
the LSB of the word. The DB8/HBEN pin assumes its DB8  
function. With the W/B pin at a logic low, the AD7859 interface  
operates in byte mode. In this case, the DB8/HBEN pin as-  
sumes its HBEN function. Data to be accessed from the  
AD7859 must be accessed in two read operations with 8 bits of  
data provided by the AD7859 on DB0–DB7 for each of the  
read operations. The HBEN pin determines whether the read  
operation accesses the high byte or low byte of the 16-bit word.  
For a low byte read, DB0 provides the LSB of the 16-bit word.  
For a high byte read DB0 provides data bit 8 of the 16-bit word  
with DB7 providing the MSB of the 16-bit word.  
The CS and RD signals are gated internally and level-triggered  
active low. In either word or byte mode, CS and RD may be  
tied together as the timing specification for t5 and t6 is 0 ns min.  
The data is output a time t8 after both CS and RD go low. The  
RD rising should be used to latch data by the user and after a  
time t9 the data lines will become three-stated.

vided on the DB0–DB15 inputs with DB0 the LSB of the data  
word. With W/B at a logic low, the AD7859 requires two write  
operations to transfer a full 16-bit word. DB8/HBEN assumes  
its HBEN function. Data to be written to the AD7859 should  
be provided on the DB0–DB7 inputs. HBEN determines  
whether the byte which is to be written is high byte or low byte  
data. The low byte of the data word should be written first with  
DB0 the LSB of the full data word. For the high byte write,  
HBEN should be high and the data on the DB0 input should be  
data bit 8 of the 16-bit word with the data on DB7 the MSB of  
the 16-bit word.  
Figure 38 shows the AD7859/AD7859L interfaced to the  
ADSP-21xx series of DSPs as a memory mapped device. A  
single wait state may be necessary to interface the AD7859/  
AD7859L to the ADSP-21xx depending on the clock speed of  
the DSP. This wait state can be programmed via the Data  
Memory Waitstate Control Register of the ADSP-21xx (please  
see ADSP-2100 Family Users Manual for details). The following  
instruction reads data from the AD7859/AD7859L:  
MR = DM(ADC)  
where ADC is the address of the AD7859/AD7859L.

Figure 35 shows the write cycle timing diagram for the AD7859.  
When operated in word mode, the HBEN input does not exist  
and only the first write operation is required to write data to the  
AD7859. Data should be provided on DB0–DB15. When oper-  
ated in byte mode, the two write cycles shown in Figure 37 are  
required to write the full data word to the AD7859. In Figure 37,  
the first write transfers the lower 8 bits of the full data from  
DB0–DB7 and the second write transfers the upper 8 bits of the  
data word from DB0-DB7.

The CS and WR signals are gated internally. CS and WR may  
be tied together as the timing specification for t13 and t14 is 0 ns  
min. The data is latched on the rising edge of WR. The data  
needs to be set up a time t16 before the WR rising edge and held  
for a time t17 after the WR rising edge.  
AD7859/AD7859L to TMS32020, TMS320C25 and TMS320C5x  
Parallel interfaces between the AD7859/AD7859L and the  
TMS32020, TMS320C25 and TMS320C5x family of DSPs are  
shown in Figure 39. The memory mapped address chosen for  
the AD7859/AD7859L should be chosen to fall in the I/O  
memory space of the DSPs.  
Resetting the Parallel Interface  
In the case where incorrect data is inadvertently written to the  
AD7859, there is a possibility that the Test Register contents  
may have been altered. If there is a suspicion that this may have  
happened and the part is not operating as expected, a 16-bit  
word 0000 0000 0000 0010 should be written to the AD7859 to  
restore the Test Register contents to the default value.

Interfacing the AD7859/AD7859L to a 16-Bit Data Bus  
The parallel port on the AD7859 allows the device to be inter-  
faced to microprocessors or DSP processors as a memory-  
mapped or I/O-mapped device. The CS and RD inputs are  
common to all memory peripheral interfacing. Typical inter-  
faces to different processors are shown in Figures 38 to 42. In  
all the interfaces shown, an external timer controls the CONVST  
input of the AD7859/AD7859L, the BUSY output interrupts  
the host DSP and the W/B input is logic high.

AD7859/AD7859L  
The parallel interface on the AD7859/AD7859L is fast enough  
to interface to the TMS32020 with no extra wait states. If high  
speed glue logic such as 74AS devices are used to drive the WR  
and RD lines when interfacing to the TMS320C25, then again  
no wait states are necessary. However, if slower logic is used,  
data accesses may be slowed sufficiently when reading from and  
writing to the part to require the insertion of one wait state. In  
such a case, this wait state can be generated using the single OR  
gate to combine the CS and MSC signals to drive the READY  
line of the TMS320C25, as shown in Figure 39. Extra wait  
states will be necessary when using the TMS320C5x at their  
fastest clock speeds. Wait states can be programmed via the  
IOWSR and CWSR registers (please see TMS320C5x User  
Guide for details).

Interfacing the AD7859/AD7859L to an 8-Bit Data Bus  
AD7859/AD7859L to 8051  
This mode of operation allows the AD7859/AD7859L to be in-  
terfaced directly to microcontrollors with an 8-bit data bus. The  
AD7859/AD7859L is placed in byte mode by placing a logic  
low signal on the W/B pin.  
Data is read from the ADC using the following instruction:  
IN D,ADC  
where D is the memory location where the data is to be stored  
and ADC is the I/O address of the AD7859/AD7859L.  
AD7859/AD7859L to TMS320C30  
Figure 40 shows a parallel interface between the AD7859/  
AD7859L and the TMS320C3x family of DSPs. The AD7859/  
AD7859L is interfaced to the Expansion Bus of the TMS320C3x.  
A single wait state is required in this interface. This can be pro-  
grammed using the WTCNT bits of the Expansion Bus Control  
register (see TMS320C3x Users Guide for details). Data from  
the AD7859/AD7859L can be read using the following instruction:  
Figure 42 shows a parallel interface between the AD7859/  
AD7859L and the 8051 microcontroller. Here the W/B pin is  
tied logic low and the DB8/HBEN pin connected to line 1 of  
Port 2. Port 0 serves as a multiplexed address/data bus to the  
AD7859/AD7859L. Alternatively if the 8051 is not using exter-  
nal memory or other memory mapped peripheral devices, line 2  
of Port 2 (or any other line) could be used as the CS signal.

where ARn is an auxiliary register containing the lower 16 bits  
of the address of the AD7859/AD7859L in the TMS320C3x

loaded.

Grounding and Layout  
Figure 40. AD7859/AD7859L to TMS320C30 Parallel Interface  
The analog and digital supplies of the AD7859/AD7859L are  
independent and separately pinned out to minimize coupling  
between the analog and digital sections of the device. The part  
has very good immunity to noise on the power supplies as can  
be seen by the PSRR versus Frequency graph. However, care  
should still be taken with regard to grounding and layout.  
AD7859/AD7859L to DSP5600x  
Figure 41 shows a parallel interface between the AD7859/  
AD7859L and the DSP5600x series of DSPs. The AD7859/  
AD7859L should be mapped into the top 64 locations of Y data  
memory. If extra wait states are needed in this interface, they  
can be programmed using the Port A Bus Control Register  
(please see DSP5600x Users Manual for details). Data can be  
read from the AD7859/AD7859L using the following instruction:  
The printed circuit board on which the AD7859/AD7859L is  
mounted should be designed 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 eas-  
ily separated. A minimum etch technique is generally best for  
ground planes as it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog  
ground planes should only be joined in one place. If the  
AD7859/AD7859L is the only device requiring an AGND to  
MOVEO Y:ADC,X0  
where ADC is the address in the DSP5600x address space  
which the AD7859/AD7859L has been mapped to.  
–26–  
REV. A  
AD7859/AD7859L  
DGND connection, then the ground planes should be con-  
nected at the AGND and DGND pins of the AD7859/  
AD7859L. If the AD7859/AD7859L is in a system where mul-  
tiple devices require AGND to DGND connections, the con-  
nection should still be made at one point only, a star ground  
point which should be established as close as possible to the  
AD7859/AD7859L.  
The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier trans-  
form) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7859/  
AD7859L. It also gives full access to all the AD7859/AD7859L  
on-chip registers allowing for various calibration and power-  
down options to be programmed.  
AD785x Family  
All parts are 12 bits, 200 kSPS, 3.0 V to 5.5 V.  
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these couple  
noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed  
to run under the AD7859/AD7859L to avoid noise coupling.  
The power supply lines to the AD7859/AD7859L 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 and the data inputs should be  
shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other  
sections of the board and clock signals should never be 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 microstrip technique is by far the best but is not al-  
ways 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.  
AD7853 – Single-Channel Serial  
AD7854 – Single-Channel Parallel  
AD7858 – Eight-Channel Serial  
AD7859 – Eight-Channel Parallel  
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should  
be decoupled with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with  
0.1 µF disc ceramic capacitor to AGND. All digital supplies  
should have a 0.1 µF disc ceramic capacitor to DGND. To  
achieve the best performance from these decoupling compo-  
nents, they must be placed as close as possible to the device,  
ideally right up against the device. In systems where a common  
supply voltage is used to drive both the AVDD and DVDD of the  
AD7859/AD7859L, it is recommended that the system’s AVDD  
supply is used. In this case an optional 10 resistor between  
the AVDD pin and DVDD pin can help to filter noise from digital  
circuitry. This supply should have the recommended analog  
supply decoupling capacitors between the AVDD pin of the  
AD7859/AD7859L and AGND and the recommended digital  
supply decoupling capacitor between the DVDD pin of the  
AD7859/AD7859L and DGND.  
Evaluating the AD7859/AD7859L Performance  
The recommended layout for the AD7859/AD7859L is outlined  
in the evaluation board for the AD7859/AD7859L. The evalua-  
tion board package includes a fully assembled and tested evalua-  
tion board, documentation, and software for controlling the  
board from the PC via the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD. The  
EVAL-CONTROL BOARD can be used in conjunction with  
the AD7859/AD7859L 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  
AD7859/AD7859L.
