The AD7911/AD7921 use advanced design techniques to  
achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput rates.  
The reference for the part is taken internally from VDD, thereby  
allowing the widest dynamic input range to the ADC. The  
analog input range for the part, therefore, is 0 to VDD. The  
conversion rate is determined by the SCLK signal.  
Optical sensors  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
The AD7911/AD79211 are 10-bit and 12-bit, high speed, low  
power, 2-channel successive approximation ADCs, respectively.  
The parts operate from a single 2.35 V to 5.25 V power supply  
and feature throughput rates of up to 250 kSPS. The parts  
contain a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier,  
which can handle input frequencies in excess of 6 MHz. The  
1. 2-channel, 250 kSPS, 10-/12-bit ADCs in TSOT package.  
2. Low power consumption.  
3. Flexible power/serial clock speed management.  
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock;  
conversion time is reduced when the serial clock speed is  
increased. The parts also feature a power-down mode to  
maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates.  
Average power consumption is reduced when the power-  
down mode is used while not converting. Current  
consumption is 1 μA maximum and 50 nA typically when  
in power-down mode.  
CS  
conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using  
and the serial clock, allowing the devices to interface with  
microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the  
CS  
falling edge of , and the conversion is also initiated at this  
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.  
4. Reference derived from the power supply.  
5. No pipeline delay.  
The channel to be converted is selected through the DIN pin,  
The parts feature a standard successive approximation

TIMING EXAMPLES  
The AD7921 can also operate with slower clock frequencies. As  
shown in Figure 7, when fSCLK = 2 MHz and the throughput rate  
is 100 KSPS, the cycle time is  
Figure 6 and Figure 7 show some of the timing parameters from  
the Timing Specifications section.  
Timing Example 1  
t2 + 12.5(1/fSCLK) + tACQ = 10 μs  
As shown in Figure 7, when fSCLK = 5 MHz and the throughput is  
250 kSPS, the cycle time is  
With t2 = 10 ns minimum, then tACQ is 3.74 μs, which satisfies  
the requirement of 290 ns for tACQ  
.
t2 + 12.5(1/fSCLK) + tACQ = 4 μs  
In Figure 7, tACQ is comprised of 2.5(1/fSCLK) + t10 + tQUIET, where  
With t2 = 10 ns minimum, then tACQ is 1.49 μs, which satisfies  
t10 = 30 ns maximum. This allows a value of 2.46 μs for tQUIET

satisfying the minimum requirement of 30 ns.  
In Figure 7, tACQ is comprised of 2.5(1/fSCLK) + t10 + tQUIET, where  
In this example, as with other slower clock values, the signal  
t10 = 30 ns maximum. This allows a value of 960 ns for tQUIET

might already be acquired before the conversion is complete,  
but it is still necessary to leave 30 ns minimum tQUIET between  
conversions. In this example, the signal should be fully acquired

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

AD7911/AD7921  
TERMINOLOGY  
Integral Nonlinearity  
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)  
The maximum deviation from a straight line passing through  
the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. For the AD7911/  
AD7921, the endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a  
point 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a  
point 1 LSB above the last code transition.  
The measured ratio of signal-to-noise and distortion at the  
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms value of the  
sine wave, and noise is the rms sum of all nonfundamental  
signals up to half the sampling frequency (fs/2), including  
harmonics but excluding dc.  
Differential Nonlinearity  
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB  
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.  
The measured ratio of signal to noise at the output to the A/D  
converter. The signal is the rms value of the sine wave input.  
Noise is the rms quantization error within the Nyquist  
bandwidth (fs/2). The rms value of a sine wave is one-half its  
peak-to-peak value divided by √2, and the rms value for the  
quantization noise is q/√12. The ratio is dependent on the  
number of quantization levels in the digitization process; the  
more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. For an ideal  
N-bit converter, the SNR is defined as  
Offset Error  
The deviation of the first code transition (00…000) to  
(00…001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.  
Offset Error Match  
The difference in offset error between any two channels.  
SNR = 6.02 N + 1.76 dB  
Gain Error  
Therefore, for a 12-bit converter, SNR is 74 dB; for a 10-bit  
converter, SNR is 62 dB.  
The deviation of the last code transition (111…110) to  
(111…111) from the ideal, that is, VREF − 1 LSB after the offset  
error has been adjusted out.  
However, various error sources in the ADC cause the measured  
SNR to be less than the theoretical value. These errors occur  
due to integral and differential nonlinearities, internal ac noise  
sources, and so on.  
Gain Error Match  
The difference in gain error between any two channels.  
Total Unadjusted Error  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
The ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental,  
which is defined as  
A comprehensive specification that includes gain error, linearity  
error, and offset error.

Channel-to-Channel Isolation

THD (dB) = 20 log  
V1  
A measure of the level of crosstalk between channels. It is  
measured by applying a full-scale sine wave signal of 20 kHz to  
500 kHz to the nonselected input channel and determining how  
much that signal is attenuated in the selected channel with a  
10 kHz signal. The figure is given worst case across both  
channels for the AD7911/AD7921.  
where:  
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.  
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second  
through the sixth harmonics.  
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time  
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise  
The time required for the output of the track-and-hold  
amplifier to reach its final value within 1 LSB after the end of  
conversion. The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode  
at the end of conversion. See the Serial Interface section for  
more details.  
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 specifica-  
tion is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but  
for ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it  
is a noise peak.

AD7911/AD7921  
Intermodulation Distortion  
The AD7911/AD7921 are tested using the CCIF standard,  
where two input frequencies are used (see fa and fb in the  
Specifications section). In this case, the second-order terms are  
usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves,  
while the third-order terms are usually at a frequency close to  
the input frequencies. As a result, the second-order and third-  
order terms are specified separately. The calculation of the  
intermodulation distortion is as in the THD specification,  
where it is defined as the ratio of the rms sum of the individual  
distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the  
fundamentals expressed in dB.  
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and  
fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion  
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa nfb, where  
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms  
are those for which neither m nor n is equal to 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).

AD7911/AD7921  
CIRCUIT INFORMATION  
The AD7911/AD7921 are fast, 2-channel, 10-/12-bit, single  
supply, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), respectively. The  
parts can be operated from a 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply. When  
operated from either a 5 V supply or a 3 V supply, the  
AD7911/AD7921 are capable of throughput rates of 250 kSPS  
when provided with a 5 MHz clock.  
When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 20), SW2 opens  
and SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to  
become unbalanced. The control logic and the charge  
redistribution DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts  
of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator  
back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is  
rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic  
generates the ADC output code. Figure 21 shows the ADC  
transfer function.  
The AD7911/AD7921 provide the user with an on-chip track-  
and-hold, an ADC, and a serial interface, all housed in a tiny 8-  
lead TSOT package or an 8-lead MSOP package, which offer  
the user considerable space-saving advantages over alternative  
solutions. The serial clock input accesses data from the parts,  
controls the transfer of data written to the ADC, and provides  
the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The  
analog input range is 0 to VDD. An external reference is not  
required for the ADC, and neither is there a reference on-chip.  
The reference for the AD7911/AD7921 is derived from the  
power supply and, therefore, gives the widest dynamic input  
range.

The AD7911/AD7921 feature a power-down option that allows  
power saving between conversions. The power-down feature is  
implemented across the standard serial interface as described in  
the Modes of Operation section.  
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION  
The output coding of the AD7911/AD7921 is straight binary.  
The designed code transitions occur at the successive integer  
LSB values, that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on. The LSB size is  
VDD/4096 for the AD7921 and VDD/1024 for the AD7911. The  
ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7911/AD7921 is shown  
in Figure 21.  
CONVERTER OPERATION  
The AD7911/AD7921 are 10-/12-bit successive approximation  
ADCs based around a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 19 and  
Figure 20 show simplified schematics of the ADC. Figure 19  
shows the ADC during its acquisition phase. SW2 is closed and  
SW1 is in Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced  
condition, and the sampling capacitor acquires the signal on the  
selected VIN channel.

the same setup conditions.  
TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM  
Figure 22 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7911/  
AD7921. VREF is taken internally from VDD and as such VDD  
should be well decoupled. This provides an analog input range  
of 0 V to VDD. The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word  
with two leading zeros, followed by the channel identifier bit  
that identifies the channel converted, followed by an invalid bit  
that matches up to the channel converted, followed by the MSB  
of the 12-bit or 10-bit result. For the AD7911, the 10-bit result is  
followed by two trailing zeros. See the Serial Interface section.

Alternatively, because the supply current required by the  
AD7911/AD7921 is so low, a precision reference can be used as  
the supply source to the AD7911/AD7921. A REF19x voltage  
reference (REF195 for 5 V or REF193 for 3 V) can be used to  
supply the required voltage to the ADC (see Figure 22). This  
configuration is especially useful, if the power supply is quite  
noisy or if the system supply voltages are at some value other  
than 5 V or 3 V (for example, 15 V). The REF19x outputs a  
steady voltage to the AD7911/AD7921. If the low dropout  
REF193 is used, the current it needs to supply to the AD7911/  
AD7921 is typically 1.5 mA. When the ADC is converting at a  
rate of 250 kSPS, the REF193 needs to supply a maximum of  
2 mA to the AD7911/AD7921. The load regulation of the  
REF193 is typically 10 ppm/mA (REF193, VS = 5 V), which  
results in an error of 20 ppm (60 μV) for the 2 mA drawn from  
it. This corresponds to a 0.082 LSB error for the AD7921 with  
VDD = 3 V from the REF193 and a 0.061 LSB error for the  
AD7911.  
ADR421  
ANALOG INPUT  
Figure 23 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input  
structure of the AD7911/AD7921. The two diodes, D1 and D2,  
provide ESD protection for the analog input. Care must be  
taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the  
supply rails by more than 300 mV, because this would cause  
these diodes to become forward biased and start conducting  
current into the substrate. The maximum current these diodes  
can conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part is  
10 mA.

The capacitor C1 in Figure 23 is typically about 6 pF and can  
primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor R1 is a  
lumped component made up of the on resistance of a track-  
and-hold switch and also includes the on resistance of the input  
multiplexer. This resistor is typically about 100 Ω. The capacitor

For ac applications, removing high frequency components from  
the analog input signal is recommended using a band-pass filter  
on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where  
harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical, the  
analog input should be driven from a low impedance source.  
Large source impedances can significantly affect the ac  
performance of the ADC. This might necessitate the use of an  
input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function of  
the particular application.

Table 7 provides some typical performance data with various

The channel to be converted on in the next conversion is  
selected by writing to the DIN pin. Data on the DIN pin is  
loaded into the AD7911/AD7921 on the falling edge of SCLK.  
The data is transferred into the part on the DIN pin at the same  
time that the conversion result is read from the part.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source  
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum  
source impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic  
distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as  
the source impedance increases and performance degrades (see  
Figure 16).  
DOUT OUTPUT  
The conversion result from the AD7911/AD7921 is provided on  
this output as a serial data stream. The bits are clocked out on  
the SCLK falling edge at the same time that the conversion is  
taking place.  
DIGITAL INPUTS  
The serial data stream for the AD7921 consists of two leading  
zeros followed by the bit that identifies the channel converted,  
an invalid bit that matches up to the channel identifier bit, and  
the 12-bit conversion result with MSB provided first.  
The digital inputs applied to the AD7911/AD7921 are not  
limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog input.  
Instead, the digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not  
restricted by the VDD + 0.3 V limit as on the analog input. For  
example, if the AD7911/AD7921 are operated with a VDD of 3 V,  
then 5 V logic levels could be used on the digital inputs. How-  
ever, it is important to note that the data output on DOUT still  
has 3 V logic levels when VDD = 3 V. Another advantage of  
For the AD7911, the serial data stream consists of two leading

by two trailing zeros.

MODES OF OPERATION  
POWER-DOWN MODE  
The two modes of operation of the AD7911/AD7921 are  
normal mode and power-down mode. The mode of operation is  
Power-down mode is intended for use in applications where  
slower throughput rates are required. Either the ADC is  
powered down between each conversion, or a series of  
conversions can be performed at a high throughput rate and  
then the ADC is powered down for a relatively long duration  
between these bursts of several conversions. When the  
AD7911/AD7921 are in power-down mode, all analog circuitry  
is powered down.

control whether the device returns to normal operation or  
remains in power-down mode.  
Power-down mode is designed to provide flexible power  
management options and to optimize the ratio of power  
dissipation to throughput rate for different application  
requirements.  
To enter power-down mode, the conversion process must be  
CS  
interrupted by bringing

has been brought high in this  
NORMAL MODE  
window of SCLKs, then the part enters power-down mode, the  
Normal mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate  
performance. The user does not have to worry about any  
power-up time, because the AD7911/AD7921 remain fully  
powered all the time. Figure 26 shows the operation of the  
AD7911/AD7921 in this mode.

conversion and access the complete conversion result.

this stage, the ADC would be fully powered up. In this case,

The power-up time of the AD7911/AD7921 is 1 μs, which  
means that with any frequency of SCLK up to 5 MHz, one  
dummy cycle is always sufficient to allow the device to power  
up. Once the dummy cycle is complete, the ADC is fully  
powered up and the input signal is acquired properly. The quiet  
time, tQUIET, must still be allowed from the point at which the  
bus goes back into three-state after the dummy conversion to  
the next falling edge of . When running at a 250 kSPS  
throughput rate, the AD7911/AD7921 power up and acquire a

brought low again after a time, tQUIET, to initiate the conversion.  
When power supplies are first applied to the AD7911/AD7921,  
the ADC can power up in either power-down mode or normal  
mode. Because of this, it is best to allow a dummy cycle to  
elapse to ensure that the part is fully powered up before  
attempting a valid conversion. Likewise, if the user wants to  
keep the part in power-down mode while not in use and to  
power up in power-down mode, then the dummy cycle can be  
used to ensure that the device is in power-down mode by  
executing a cycle such as that shown in Figure 27.  
CS  
When powering up from power-down mode with a dummy  
cycle, as in Figure 28, the track-and-hold that was in hold mode  
while the part was powered down returns to track mode on the  
fifth SCLK falling edge that the part receives after the falling  
Once supplies are applied to the AD7911/AD7921, the power-  
up time is the same as when powering up from the power-down  
mode. It takes the part approximately 1 μs to power up fully in  
normal mode. It is not necessary to wait 1 μs before executing a  
dummy cycle to ensure the desired mode of operation. Instead,  
the dummy cycle can occur directly after power is supplied to  
the ADC. If the first valid conversion is then performed directly  
after the dummy conversion, care must be taken to ensure that  
adequate acquisition time has been allowed. When the ADC  
powers up initially after supplies are applied, the track-and-hold  
is in hold. It returns to track on the fifth SCLK falling edge that  
CS  
edge of . This is shown as point A in Figure 28. At this point,  
the part starts to acquire the signal on the channel selected in  
the current dummy conversion.  
Although at any SCLK frequency one dummy cycle is sufficient  
to power up the device and acquire VIN, it does not necessarily  
mean that a full dummy cycle of 16 SCLKs must always elapse  
to power up the device and acquire VIN fully. 1μs is sufficient to  
power up the device and acquire the input signal. For example,  
if a 5 MHz SCLK frequency was applied to the ADC, the cycle  
time would be 3.2 μs. In one dummy cycle, 3.2 μs, the part  
would be powered up and VIN acquired fully. However, after 1 μs

AD7911/AD7921  
In the previous examples, the power dissipation when the part  
is in power-down mode has not been taken into account,  
because the shutdown current is so low that it does not have any  
effect on the overall power dissipation value. Figure 29 shows  
the power consumption versus throughput rate when using the  
power-down mode between conversions with both 5 V and 3 V  
supplies.  
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE  
By using the power-down mode on the AD7911/AD7921 when  
not converting, the average power consumption of the ADC  
decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 29 shows how, as the  
throughput rate is reduced, the device remains in its power-  
down state longer and the average power consumption over  
time drops accordingly.  
Power-down mode is intended for use with throughput rates of  
approximately 120 kSPS and under, because higher sampling  
rates do not have a power saving in power-down mode.  
For example, if the AD7911/AD7921 are operating in a  
continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 50 kSPS  
and a SCLK of 5 MHz (VDD = 5 V) and the devices are placed in  
power-down mode between conversions, then the power  
consumption is calculated as follows. The power dissipation  
during normal operation is 20 mW (VDD = 5 V). If one dummy  
cycle powers up the part between conversions (3.2 μs), and the  
remaining conversion time is another cycle (3.2 μs), then the  
AD7911/AD7921 dissipate 20 mW for 6.4 μs during each  
conversion cycle. If the throughput rate is 50 kSPS and the cycle  
time is 20 μs, then the average power dissipated during each  
cycle is

If VDD = 3 V, SCLK= 5 MHz, and the device is again in power-  
down mode between conversions, then the power dissipation  
during normal operation is 6 mW. The AD7911/AD7921 now  
dissipate 6 mW for 6.4 μs during each conversion cycle. With a

SERIAL INTERFACE  
Figure 30 and Figure 31 show the detailed timing diagrams for  
serial interfacing to the AD7921 and AD7911, respectively. The

transfer of information from the AD7911/AD7921 during

puts the track-and-hold into hold mode,  
the microcontroller or DSP. The remaining data is then clocked  
out by subsequent SCLK falling edges beginning with the  
second leading zero. Therefore, the first falling clock edge on  
the serial clock has the first leading zero provided and also  
clocks out the second leading zero. The final bit in the data  
transfer is valid on the 16th falling edge, having been clocked  
out on the previous (15th) falling edge.  
For the AD7921, the conversion requires 16 SCLK cycles to  
complete. Once 13 SCLK falling edges have elapsed, the track-

shown in Figure 30 at Point B. On the 16th SCLK falling edge,

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING  
AD7911/AD7921 to ADSP-218x  
The serial interface on the AD7911/AD7921 allows the parts to  
be directly connected to a range of microprocessors. This  
section explains how to interface the AD7911/AD7921 with  
some of the more common microcontroller and DSP serial  
interface protocols.  
The ADSP-218x family of DSPs are interfaced directly to the  
AD7911/AD7921 without any glue logic required. The SPORT  
control register should be set up as follows:  
TFSW = RFSW = 1, alternate framing  
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, active low frame signal  
DTYPE = 00, right-justify data  
ISCLK = 1, internal serial clock  
TFSR = RFSR = 1, frame every word  
IRFS = 0, set up RFS as an input  
AD7911/AD7921 to TMS320C541 Interface  
The serial interface on the TMS320C541 uses a continuous  
serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize  
the data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the  
CS  
AD7911/AD7921. The  
input allows easy interfacing between  
ITFS = 1, set up TFS as an output  
SLEN = 1111, 16 bits for the AD7921  
SLEN = 1101, 14 bits for the AD7911  
the TMS320C541 and the AD7911/AD7921 without any glue  
logic required. The serial port of the TMS320C541 is set up to  
operate in burst mode (FSM = 1 in the serial port control  
register, SPC) with the internal serial clock CLKX (MCM = 1 in  
the SPC register) and the internal frame signal (TXM = 1 in the  
SPC register); therefore, both pins are configured as outputs.  
For the AD7921, the word length should be set to 16 bits (FO =  
0 in the SPC register). This DSP allows frames with a word  
length of 16 bits or 8 bits only. In the AD7911, therefore, where  
14 bits are required, the FO bit should be set up to 16 bits, and  
16 SCLKs are needed. For the AD7911, two trailing zeros are  
clocked out in the last two clock cycles.  
To implement the power-down mode, SLEN should be set to  
0111 to issue an 8-bit SCLK burst. The connection diagram is  
shown in Figure 33. The ADSP-218x has the TFS and RFS of the  
SPORT tied together, with TFS set as an output and RFS set as  
an input. The DSP operates in alternate framing mode and the  
SPORT control register is set up as described previously. The  
frame synchronization signal generated on the TFS is tied to  
and, as with all signal processing applications, equidistant  
sampling is necessary. However, in this example, the timer

The values in the SPC register are as follows:

under certain conditions, equidistant sampling might not be

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

low and a conversion starts. Likewise, by means of the Bits  
SCD2, SCKD, and SHFD in the CRB register, the Pin SC2 (the  
frame sync signal) and SCK in the serial port are configured as  
outputs, and the MSB is shifted first.  
For example, the ADSP-2189 has a master clock frequency of  
40 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value of 3,  
then an SCLK of 5 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock  
periods elapse for every one SCLK period. Depending on the  
throughput rate selected, if the timer register is loaded with the  
value 803 (803 + 1 = 804), then 100.5 SCLK occur between  
interrupts and subsequently between transmit instructions. This  
situation results in nonequidistant sampling, because the  
transmit instruction occurs on a SCLK edge. If the number of  
SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer figure of N, then  
equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP.  
The values are as follows:  
MOD = 0  
SYN = 1  
WL2, WL1, WL0 depend on the word length  
FSL1 = 0, FSL0 = 0  
FSP = 1, negative frame sync

AD7911/AD7921 to DSP563xx Interface  
SCKD = 1  
The connection diagram in Figure 34 shows how the AD7911/  
AD7921 can be connected to the SSI (synchronous serial  
interface) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs from Motorola. The  
SSI is operated in synchronous and normal mode (SYN = 1 and  
MOD = 0 in the Control Register B, CRB) with internally  
generated word frame sync for both Tx and Rx (Bits FSL1 = 0  
and FSL0 = 0 in the CRB). Set the word length in the Control  
Register A (CRA) to 16 by setting Bits WL2 = 0, WL1 = 1, and  
WL0 = 0 for the AD7921. This DSP does not offer the option  
for a 14-bit word length, so the AD7911 word length is set up to  
16 bits like the AD7921. For the AD7911, the conversion  
process uses 16 SCLK cycles, with the last two clock periods  
clocking out two trailing zeros to fill the 16-bit word.  
SHFD = 0  
Note that, for signal processing applications, the frame  
synchronization signal from the DSP563xx must provide  
equidistant sampling.

GROUNDING AND LAYOUT  
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 to reduce the effects of feedthrough through the board. A  
microstrip technique is by far the best, but is not always possible  
with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component  
side of the board is dedicated to ground planes, while signals are  
placed on the solder side.  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7911/AD7921  
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 separated easily.  
A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes,  
because it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog ground  
planes should be joined at only one place. If the AD7911/  
AD7921 is in a system where multiple devices require an  
AGND-to-DGND connection, the connection should still be  
made at one point only, a star ground point that should be  
established as close as possible to the AD7911/AD7921.  
Good decoupling is also very important. The analog supply  
should be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 μF  
capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best performance from  
these decoupling components, the user should endeavor to keep  
the distance between the decoupling capacitor and the VDD and  
GND pins to a minimum with short track lengths connecting  
the respective pins.  
Avoid running digital lines under the device, because these  
couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be  
allowed to run under the AD7911/AD7921 to avoid noise  
coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7911/AD7921  
should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance  
paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply  
line. Fast-switching signals like clocks should be shielded with
