GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
AGND  
Figure 1.  
The AD7927 is a 12-bit, high speed, low power, 8-channel,  
successive approximation ADC. The part operates from a  
single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput  
rates up to 200 kSPS. The part contains a low noise, wide  
bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input  
frequencies in excess of 8 MHz.  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
1. High Throughput with Low Power Consumption.  
The AD7927 offers up to 200 kSPS throughput rates. At the  
maximum throughput rate with 3 V supplies, the AD7927  
dissipates 3.6 mW of power maximum.  
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using  
2. Eight Single-Ended Inputs with a Channel Sequencer.  
A consecutive sequence of channels can be selected on  
which the ADC cycles and converts.  
CS  
and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily 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.  
3. Single-Supply Operation with VDRIVE Function.  
The AD7927 operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply.  
The VDRIVE function allows the serial interface to connect  
directly to either 3 V or 5 V processor systems independent  
The AD7927 uses advanced design techniques to achieve  
very low power dissipation at maximum throughput rates. At  
maximum throughput rates, the AD7927 consumes 1.2 mA  
maximum with 3 V supplies; with 5 V supplies, the current  
consumption is 1.5 mA maximum.  
of AVDD  
.
4. Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management.  
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock,  
allowing the conversion time to be reduced through the  
serial clock speed increase. The part also features various  
shutdown modes to maximize power efficiency at lower  
throughput rates. Current consumption is 0.5 μA maxi-  
mum when in full shutdown.  
Through the configuration of the control register, the analog  
input range for the part can be selected as 0 V to REFIN or 0 V  
to 2 × REFIN, with either straight binary or twos complement  
output coding. The AD7927 features eight single-ended analog  
inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a preprogrammed  
selection of channels to be converted sequentially.  
5. No Pipeline Delay.  
The conversion time for the AD7927 is determined by the  
SCLK frequency, as this is also used as the master clock to  
control the conversion. The conversion time may be as short  
as 800 ns with a 20 MHz SCLK.  
The part features a standard successive approximation ADC  
CS  
with a  
input pin, which allows for accurate control of  
each sampling instant.

1 Sample tested at 25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10ꢀ to 90ꢀ of AVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V,  
(see Figure 2). The 3 V operating range spans from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The 5 V operating range spans from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.  
2 Mark/space ratio for the SCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40.  
3 Measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.4 V or 0.7 × VDRIVE  
.
4 t8 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then extrapolated  
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means the time, quoted in the t8 timing characteristics, is the true bus relinquish time  
of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

Description  
1
SCLK  
Serial Clock. Logic input. SCLK provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part. This clock input is  
also used as the clock source for the AD7927 conversion process.  
2
DIN  
Data In. Logic input. Data to be written to the AD7927 control register is provided on this input and is clocked  
into the register on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Control Register section).  
3
CS  
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the  
AD7927 and framing the serial data transfer.  
4, 8, 17, 20  
AGND  
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7927. All analog input signals  
and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. All AGND pins should be  
connected together.  
5, 6  
AVDD  
Analog Power Supply Input. The AVDD range for the AD7927 is from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. For the 0 V to 2 × REFIN  
range, AVDD should be from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.  
7
REFIN  
Reference Input for the AD7927. An external reference must be applied to this input. The voltage range for  
the external reference is 2.5 V 1ꢀ for specified performance.  
16 to 9  
VIN0 to VIN7  
Analog Input 0 through Analog Input 7. Eight single-ended analog input channels that are multiplexed into  
the on-chip track-and-hold. The analog input channel to be converted is selected by using the address bits  
(ADD2 through ADD0) of the control register. ADD2 through ADD0, in conjunction with the SEQ and  
SHADOW bits, allow the sequencer to be programmed. The input range for all input channels can extend  
from 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN, as selected via the RANGE bit in the control register. Any unused input  
channels should be connected to AGND to avoid noise pickup.  
18  
19  
DOUT  
Data Out. Logic output. The conversion result from the AD7927 is provided on this output as a serial data  
stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data stream from the AD7927  
consists of two leading zeros, two address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to,  
followed by the 12 bits of conversion data (MSB first). The output coding may be selected as straight binary or  
twos complement via the CODING bit in the control register.  
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the serial interface of  
the AD7927 operates.

AD7927  
TERMINOLOGY  
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)  
Negative Gain Error  
INL 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 LSB  
below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB  
above the last code transition. Figure 9 shows a typical INL  
plot for the AD7927.  
This applies when using the twos complement output coding  
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN  
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of  
the first code transition (100 . . . 000) to (100 . . . 001) from the  
ideal (that is, −REFIN + 1 LSB) after the zero code error has been  
adjusted out.  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
Negative Gain Error Match  
DNL is the difference between the measured and the ideal  
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.  
Figure 10 shows a typical DNL plot for the AD7927.  
This is the difference in negative gain error between any two  
channels.  
Channel-to-Channel Isolation  
Offset Error  
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of  
crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a full-  
scale 400 kHz sine wave signal to all seven nonselected input  
channels and determining how much that signal is attenuated  
in the selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. The figure given is  
the worst case across all eight channels for the AD7927.  
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to  
(00 . . . 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.  
Offset Error Match  
This is the difference in offset error between any two channels.  
Gain Error  
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)  
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to  
(111 . . . 111) from the ideal (that is, REFIN − 1 LSB) after the  
offset error has been adjusted out.  
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition,  
but not the converters linearity. Power supply rejection is the  
maximum change in full-scale transition point due to a change  
in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the Typical  
Performance Characteristics section).  
Gain Error Match  
This is the difference in gain error between any two channels.  
Power Supply Rejection Ration (PSRR)  
Zero Code Error  
The power supply rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the  
power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency (f) to the  
power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC AVDD  
supply of frequency (fS):  
This applies when using the twos complement output coding  
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN  
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of  
the midscale transition (all 0s to all 1s) from the ideal VIN  
voltage, that is, REFIN − 1 LSB.  
PSRR(dB) = 10log(Pf/PfS)  
where:  
Zero Code Error Match  
Pf is equal to the power at Frequency f in ADC output.  
PfS is equal to the power at Frequency fS coupled onto the

ADC AVDD  
.
Positive Gain Error  
Here a 200 mV p-p sine wave is coupled onto the AVDD supply.  
Figure 6 shows the power supply rejection ratio vs. supply ripple  
frequency for the AD7927 with no decoupling.  
This applies when using the twos complement output coding  
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN  
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of the  
last code transition (011. . .110) to (011 . . . 111) from the ideal  
(that is, +REFIN − 1 LSB) after the zero code error has been  
adjusted out.  
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time  
The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track mode at the  
end of conversion. 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 conversion.  
Positive Gain Error Match  
This is the difference in positive gain error between any two  
channels.

AD7927  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the  
fundamental. For the AD7927, it is defined as:  
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)  
This is the measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) at  
the output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the  
fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals  
up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio  
is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digiti-  
zation process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization  
noise. The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio for  
an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by  
V22 +V32 +V42 +V52 +V62  
THD(dB) = 20log  
V1  
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.  
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02N + 1.76)dB  
Figure 7 shows a graph of total harmonic distortion vs. analog  
input frequency for various supply voltages, and Figure 8 shows  
a graph of total harmonic distortion vs. analog input frequency  
for various source impedances (see the Analog Input section).  
Thus, for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB. Figure 5 shows the  
signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio performance vs. input fre-  
quency for various supply voltages while sampling at 200 kSPS  
with an SCLK of 20 MHz.

CONTROL REGISTER  
The control register on the AD7927 is a 12-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7927 on the falling edge of  
SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time that the conversion result is read from the part. The data transferred on  
the DIN line corresponds to the AD7927 configuration for the next conversion. This requires 16 serial clocks for every data transfer. Only

These three address bits are loaded at the end of the present conversion and select which analog input channel  
is to be converted in the next serial transfer, or they may select the final channel in a consecutive sequence as  
described in Table 9. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 7. The address bits corresponding  
to the conversion result are also output on DOUT prior to the 12 bits of data (see the Serial Interface section). The  
next channel to be converted on is selected by the mux on the 14th SCLK falling edge.

RANGE  
Don’t care.  
This bit selects the analog input range to be used on the AD7927. If it is set to 0, the analog input range extends  
from 0 V to 2 × REFIN. If it is set to 1, the analog input range extends from 0 V to REFIN (for the next conversion). For  
the 0 V to 2 × REFIN range, AVDD = 4.75 V to 5.25 V.

CODING  
This bit selects the type of output coding the AD7927 uses for the conversion result. If this bit is set to 0, the  
output coding for the part is twos complement. If this bit is set to 1, the output coding from the part is straight  
binary (for the next conversion).

SEQUENCER OPERATION  
The configuration of the SEQ and SHADOW bits in the control register allows the user to select a particular mode of operation of the  
sequencer function. Table 9 outlines the four modes of operation of the sequencer.

This configuration means that the sequence function is not used. The analog input channel selected for each  
individual conversion is determined by the contents of the channel address bits, ADD0 through ADD2, in each  
prior write operation. This mode of operation reflects the traditional operation of a multichannel ADC, without  
the sequencer function being used, where each write to the AD7927 selects the next channel for conversion (see  
Figure 11).  
This configuration selects the shadow register for programming. The following write operation loads the contents of  
the shadow register. This programs the sequence of channels converted on continuously with each successive valid  
CS falling edge (see the Shadow Register section, Table 10, and Figure 12). The channels selected need not be  
consecutive.

If the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set in this way, the sequence function is not interrupted upon completion of  
the WRITE operation. This allows other bits in the control register to be altered between conversions while in a  
sequence, without terminating the cycle.  
This configuration is used in conjunction with the channel address bits, ADD2 to ADD0, to program continuous  
conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels from Channel 0 to a selected final channel as determined by  
the channel address bits in the control register (see Figure 13).

The shadow register on the AD7927 is a 16-bit, write-only register.  
Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the AD7927 on the falling  
edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the  
same time that a conversion result is read from the part. This  
requires 16 serial clock falling edges for the data transfer. The  
information is clocked into the shadow register, provided that  
the SEQ and SHADOW bits were set to 0, 1, respectively, in the  
previous write to the control register. MSB denotes the first bit  
in the data stream. Each bit represents an analog input from  
Channel 0 to Channel 7. Through programming the shadow  
register, two sequences of channels may be selected, through  
which the AD7927 cycles with each consecutive conversion  
after the write to the shadow register. Sequence One is per-  
formed first and then Sequence Two. If the user does not  
wish to perform a second sequence option, then all 0s must be  
written to the last eight LSBs of the shadow register. To select a  
sequence of channels, the associated channel bit must be set for  
each analog input. The AD7927 continuously cycles through  
the selected channels in ascending order, beginning with the  
lowest channel, until a write operation occurs (that is, the WRITE  
bit is set to 1) with the SEQ and SHADOW bits configured in  
any way except 1, 0 (see Table 9). The bit functions are outlined  
in Table 10.  
Figure 12 shows how to program the AD7927 to continuously  
convert on a particular sequence of channels. To exit this mode  
of operation and revert back to the traditional mode of opera-  
tion of a multichannel ADC (as outlined in Figure 11), ensure  
that the WRITE bit = 1 and the SEQ = SHADOW = 0 on the  
next serial transfer. Figure 13 shows how a sequence of consecu-  
tive channels can be converted on without having to program  
the shadow register or write to the part on each serial transfer.  
Again, to exit this mode of operation and revert back to the  
traditional mode of operation of a multichannel ADC (as  
outlined in Figure 11), ensure the WRITE bit = 1 and the  
SEQ = SHADOW = 0 on the next serial transfer.

CONVERTER OPERATION  
The AD7927 is a 12-bit successive approximation ADC based  
around a capacitive DAC. The AD7927 can convert analog input  
signals in the range 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN. Figure 14  
and Figure 15 show simplified schematics of the ADC. The ADC  
is comprised of control logic, SAR, and a capacitive DAC that  
are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the  
sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a bal-  
anced condition. Figure 14 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.

When the ADC starts a conversion (see Figure 15), SW2  
opens and SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator  
to become unbalanced. The control logic and the capacitive  
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge  
balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the  
conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC  
output code. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the ADC transfer  
functions.  
CIRCUIT INFORMATION  
The AD7927 is a high speed, 8-channel, 12-bit, single-supply  
ADC. The part can be operated from a 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply.  
When operated from either a 5 V or 3 V supply, the AD7927 is  
capable of throughput rates of 200 kSPS. The conversion time  
may be as short as 800 ns when provided with a 20 MHz clock.  
The AD7927 provides the user with an on-chip, track-and-hold  
ADC and a serial interface housed in a 20-lead TSSOP. The  
AD7927 has eight single-ended input channels with a channel  
sequencer, allowing the user to select a channel sequence

the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The  
analog input range for the AD7927 is 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to  
2 × REFIN, depending on the status of Bit 1 in the control register.  
For the 0 to 2 × REFIN range, the part must be operated from a  
4.75 V to 5.25 V supply.

ANALOG INPUT  
Figure 16 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input struc-  
ture of the AD7927. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD  
protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure  
that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by  
more than 300 mV. This causes these diodes to become forward  
biased and start conducting current into the substrate. 10 mA is  
the maximum current these diodes can conduct without caus-  
ing irreversible damage to the part. Capacitor C1, in Figure 16  
is typically about 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin  
capacitance. The Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up  
of the on resistance of a switch (track-and-hold switch) and also  
includes the on resistance of the input multiplexer. The total  
resistance is typically about 400 Ω. The capacitor, C2, is the  
ADC sampling capacitor and has a capacitance of 30 pF typically.  
The AD7927 provides flexible power management options  
to allow the user to achieve the best power performance for a  
given throughput rate. These options are selected by program-  
ming the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the control  
register.

For ac applications, removing high frequency components from  
the analog input signal is recommended by use of an RC low-  
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 significantly affect the ac performance of the  
ADC. This may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.  
The choice of the op amp is a function of the particular application.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, limit  
the source impedance to low values. The maximum source  
impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be  
tolerated. The THD increases as the source impedance  
increases, and performance degrades (see Figure 8).

The output coding of the AD7927 is either straight binary  
or twos complement, depending on the status of the LSB in  
the control register. The designed code transitions occur at  
successive LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so forth).  
The LSB size is REFIN/4096 for the AD7927. The ideal transfer  
characteristic for the AD7927 when straight binary coding is

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM  
Figure 20 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7927.  
In this setup, the AGND pin is connected to the analog ground  
plane of the system. In Figure 20, REFIN is connected to a decoup-  
led 2.5 V supply from a reference source, the AD780, to provide  
an analog input range of 0 V to 2.5 V (if the RANGE bit is 1)  
or 0 V to 5 V (if the RANGE bit is 0). Although the AD7927 is  
connected to a AVDD of 5 V, the serial interface is connected to a  
3 V microprocessor. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7927 is connected  
to the same 3 V supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3 V  
logic interface (see the Digital Inputs section). The conversion  
result is output in a 16-bit word. This 16-bit data stream consists  
of one leading zero, three address bits indicating which channel  
the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of  
conversion data. For applications where power consumption is  
of concern, the power-down modes should be used between  
conversions or bursts of several conversions to improve power  
performance (see the Modes of Operation section).  
It is not necessary to write to the control register once a  
sequencer operation has been initiated. The WRITE bit must  
be set to zero or the DIN line tied low to ensure that the control  
register is not accidentally overwritten, or the sequence opera-  
tion interrupted. If the control register is written to at any time  
during the sequence, the user must ensure that the SEQ and  
SHADOW bits are set to 1, 0, respectively to avoid interrupting  
the automatic conversion sequence. This pattern continues until  
such time as the AD7927 is written to and the SEQ and SHADOW  
bits are configured with any bit combination except 1, 0. On  
completion of the sequence, the AD7927 sequencer returns to  
the first selected channel in the shadow register and commence  
the sequence again.  
Rather than selecting a particular sequence of channels, a  
number of consecutive channels beginning with Channel 0  
may also be programmed via the control register alone without  
needing to write to the shadow register. This is possible if the  
SEQ and SHADOW bits are set to 1, 1, respectively. The channel  
address bits, ADD2 through ADD0, then determine the final  
channel in the consecutive sequence. The next conversion is on  
Channel 0, then Channel 1, and so on until the channel selected  
via the Address Bit ADD2 through Address Bit ADD0 is reached.  
The cycle begins again on the next serial transfer provided the  
WRITE bit is set to low, or if high, that the SEQ and SHADOW  
bits are set to 1, 0, respectively; then the ADC continues its pre-  
programmed automatic sequence uninterrupted.

ANALOG INPUT SELECTION  
DIGITAL INPUTS  
Any one of eight analog input channels may be selected for  
conversion by programming the multiplexer with the address  
bits (ADD2 though ADD0) in the control register. The channel  
configurations are shown in Table 7.  
The digital inputs applied to the AD7927 are not limited by  
the maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs. Instead, the  
digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not restricted by the  
AVDD + 0.3 V limit as on the analog inputs.  
The AD7927 may also be configured to automatically cycle  
through a number of channels as selected. The sequencer feature is  
accessed via the SEQ and SHADOW bits in the control register  
(see Table 9). The AD7927 can be programmed to continuously  
convert on a selection of channels in ascending order. The analog  
input channels to be converted on are selected through program-  
ming the relevant bits in the shadow register (see Table 10). The  
next serial transfer then acts on the sequence programmed by  
executing a conversion on the lowest channel in the selection.  
The next serial transfer results in the conversion on the next  
highest channel in the sequence, and so on.  
CS  
Another advantage of SCLK, DIN, and  
by the AVDD + 0.3 V limit is that possible power supply sequenc-  
ing issues are avoided. If , DIN, or SCLK are applied before  
AVDD, there is no risk of latch-up as there would be on the analog  
not being restricted

inputs if a signal greater than 0.3 V was applied prior to AVDD  
.

AD7927  
THE REFERENCE  
VDRIVE  
An external reference source should be used to supply the  
2.5 V reference to the AD7927. Errors in the reference source  
result in gain errors in the AD7927 transfer function and add  
to the specified full-scale errors of the part. A capacitor of at  
least 0.1 μF should be placed on the REFIN pin. Suitable refer-  
ence sources for the AD7927 include the AD780, REF192, and  
the AD1582.  
The AD7927 also has the VDRIVE feature. VDRIVE controls the volt-  
age at which the serial interface operates. VDRIVE allows the ADC  
to easily interface to both 3 V and 5 V processors. For example,  
if the AD7927 were operated with an AVDD of 5 V, the VDRIVE pin  
could be powered from a 3 V supply. The AD7927 has a larger  
dynamic range with an AVDD of 5 V while still being able to  
interface to 3 V processors. Take care to ensure VDRIVE does not  
exceed AVDD by more than 0.3 V (see the Absolute Maximum  
Ratings section).  
If 2.5 V is applied to the REFIN pin, the analog input range can  
be either 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, depending on the setting of  
the RANGE bit in the control register.

AD7927  
MODES OF OPERATION  
The AD7927 has a number of different modes of operation,  
which are designed to provide flexible power management  
options. These options can be chosen to optimize the power  
dissipation/throughput rate ratio for differing application  
requirements. The mode of operation of the AD7927 is con-  
trolled by the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the  
control register, as detailed in Table 8. When power supplies  
are first applied to the AD7927, care should be taken to ensure  
that the part is placed in the required mode of operation (see  
the Powering Up the AD7927 section).  
For specified performance, the throughput rate should not  
exceed 200 kSPS, which means there should be no less than

to be written to the shadow register (SEQ = 0, SHADOW = 1 on  
the previous write), data presented on the DIN line during the  
first 16 SCLK cycles is loaded into the shadow register. The part  
remains fully powered up in normal mode at the end of the  
conversion as long as PM1 and PM0 are set to 1 in the write  
transfer during that conversion. To ensure continued operation  
in normal mode, PM1 and PM0 are both loaded with 1 on  
every data transfer. Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to  
complete the conversion and access the conversion result. The

Depending on the SCLK frequency used, this dummy transfer  
may affect the achievable throughput rate of the part, with every  
other data transfer being a valid conversion result. If, for example,  
the maximum SCLK frequency of 20 MHz was used, the auto  
shutdown mode could be used at the full throughput rate of  
200 kSPS without affecting the throughput rate at all. Only a  
portion of the cycle time is taken up by the conversion time and  
the dummy transfer for wake-up.  
AUTO SHUTDOWN (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 1)  
In this mode, the AD7927 automatically enters shutdown at the  
end of each conversion when the control register is updated.  
When the part is in shutdown, the track-and-hold is in hold  
mode. Figure 23 shows the general diagram of the operation  
of the AD7927 in this mode. In shutdown mode all internal  
circuitry on the AD7927 is powered down. The part retains  
information in the control register during shutdown. The AD7927  
CS  
remains in shutdown until the next  
falling edge it receives.  
In this mode, the power consumption of the part is greatly  
reduced with the part entering shutdown at the end of each  
conversion. When the control register is programmed to move  
into auto shutdown, it does so at the end of the conversion. The  
user can move the ADC in and out of the low power state by

On this  
falling edge, the track-and-hold that was in hold  
while the part was in shutdown returns to track. Wake-up time  
from auto shutdown is 1 μs maximum, and the user should  
ensure that 1 μs has elapsed before attempting a valid conversion.  
When running the AD7927 with a 20 MHz clock, one dummy  
16 SCLK transfer should be sufficient to ensure the part is fully  
powered up. During this dummy transfer, the contents of the  
control register should remain unchanged; therefore, the  
WRITE bit should be 0 on the DIN line.

maximum of 200 kSPS. If the AD7927 is placed into shutdown  
for the remainder of the cycle time, then on average far less power  
is consumed in every cycle compared to leaving the device in  
normal mode. Furthermore, Figure 25 shows how as the through-  
put rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown longer and  
the average power consumption drops accordingly over time.  
POWERING UP THE AD7927  
When supplies are first applied to the AD7927, the ADC may  
power up in any of the operating modes of the part. To ensure  
that the part is placed into the required operating mode, the  
user should perform a dummy cycle operation as outlined in  
Figure 24.  
For example, if the AD7927 is operated in a continuous sampling  
mode, with a throughput rate of 200 kSPS and an SCLK of 20 MHz  
(AVDD = 5 V), and the device is placed in auto shutdown mode,  
that is, if PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1, then the power consumption is  
calculated as follows.  
The three-dummy-conversion operation outlined in Figure 24  
must be performed to place the part into the auto shutdown  
mode. The first two conversions of this dummy cycle operation  
are performed with the DIN line tied high, and for the third  
conversion of the dummy cycle operation, the user should  
write the desired control register configuration to the AD7927  
The maximum power dissipation during the conversion time is  
13.5 mW (IDD = 2.7 mA maximum, AVDD = 5 V). If the power-  
up time from auto shutdown is 1 μs and the remaining conversion  
time is another cycle, that is, 800 ns, the AD7927 can be said to  
dissipate 13.5 mW for 1.8 μs during each conversion cycle. For  
the remainder of the conversion cycle, 3.2 μs, the part remains  
in shutdown. The AD7927 can be said to dissipate 2.5 μW for  
the remaining 3.2 μs of the conversion cycle. If the throughput  
rate is 200 kSPS, the cycle time is 5 μs and the average power  
dissipated during each cycle is (1.8/5) × (13.5 mW) + (3.2/5) ×  
(2.5 μW) = 4.8616 mW.  
CS  
to place the part into the auto shutdown mode. On the third  
rising edge after the supplies are applied, the control register  
contains the correct information and valid data results from the  
next conversion.  
Therefore, to ensure the part is placed into the correct operating  
mode, when supplies are first applied to the AD7927, the user  
must first issue two serial write operations with the DIN line  
tied high, and on the third conversion cycle the user can then  
write to the control register to place to part into any of the oper-  
ating modes. The user should not write to the shadow register  
until the fourth conversion cycle after the supplies are applied  
to the ADC, to guarantee the control register contains the  
correct data.  
Figure 25 shows the maximum power vs. throughput rate when  
using the auto shutdown mode with 3 V and 5 V supplies.

If the user wishes to place the part into either the normal or full  
shutdown mode, the second dummy cycle with DIN tied high  
can be omitted from the three-dummy-conversion operation  
outlined in Figure 24.

POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE  
In auto shutdown mode, the average power consumption of  
the ADC may be reduced at any given throughput rate. The  
power saving depends on the SCLK frequency used, that is,  
conversion time. In some cases where the conversion time is  
quite a proportion of the cycle time, the throughput rate needs  
to be reduced to take advantage of the power-down modes.  
Assuming a 20 MHz SCLK is used, the conversion time is  
800 ns, but the cycle time is 5 μs when the sampling rate is at a

the AD7927 in Figure 27. Two sequence options can be pro-

program a second sequence, then the eight LSBs should be filled  
with zeros. The shadow register is updated upon the rising edge

AD7927  
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING  
The serial interface on the AD7927 allows the part to be directly  
connected to a range of many different microprocessors. This  
section explains how to interface the AD7927 with some of the  
more common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.  
The SPORT0 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  
SLEN = 1111, 16-bit data-words  
ISCLK = 1, internal serial clock  
TFSR = RFSR = 1, frame every word  
IRFS = 0  
AD7927 TO TMS320C541  
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 AD7927.  
CS  
The  
input allows easy interfacing between the TMS320C541  
and the AD7927 without any glue logic required. The serial port  
of the TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode with inter-  
nal CLKX0 (TX serial clock on Serial Port 0) and FSX0 (TX  
frame sync from Serial Port 0). The serial port control register  
(SPC) must have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM = 1, MCM =  
1, and TXM = 1. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 29.  
It should be noted that for signal processing applications, it is  
imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the  
TMS320C541 provides equidistant sampling. The VDRIVE pin  
of the AD7927 takes the same supply voltage as that of the  
TMS320C541. This allows the ADC to operate at a higher  
voltage than the serial interface, that is, TMS320C541, if  
necessary.  
ITFS = 1  
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 30. The ADSP-218x  
has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT0 tied together, with TFS set  
as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in alter-  
nate framing mode and the SPORT0 control register is set up as  
described. The frame synchronization signal generated on the  
CS  
TFS is tied to , and as with all signal processing applications  
equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example, the  
timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC,  
and under certain conditions, equidistant sampling may not be  
achieved.

The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs is interfaced directly to the  
AD7927 without any glue logic required. The VDRIVE pin of the  
AD7927 takes the same supply voltage as that of the ADSP-218x.  
This allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the  
serial interface, that is, ADSP-218x, if necessary.  
The timer register, for instance, is loaded with a value that  
provides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When  
an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS or 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, AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is  
checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and  
high before transmission starts. If the timer and SCLK values  
are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or  
near the rising edge of SCLK, then the data may be transmitted  
or it may wait until the next clock edge.

WL1 = 1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP bit in the CRB should  
be set to 1 so the frame sync is negative. It should be noted that  
for signal processing applications, it is imperative that the frame  
synchronization signal from the DSP563xx provides equidistant  
sampling.  
For example, if the ADSP-2189 had a 20 MHz crystal such that  
it had a master clock frequency of 40 MHz, then the master  
cycle time would be 25 ns. 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 registers  
are loaded with the value, of 803, for example, then 100.5 SCLKs  
occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit  
instructions. This situation results in sampling that is not equi-  
distant as the transmit instruction is occurring 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.  
In the example shown in Figure 31, the serial clock is taken  
from the ESSI so the SCK0 pin must be set as an output, SCKD  
= 1. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7927 takes the same supply voltage  
as that of the DSP563xx. This allows the ADC to operate at a  
higher voltage than the serial interface, that is, DSP563xx, if  
necessary.

AD7927 TO DSP563xx  
The connection diagram in Figure 31 shows how the AD7927  
can be connected to the enhanced synchronous serial interface  
(ESSI) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs from Motorola. Each  
ESSI (two on board) is operated in synchronous mode (SYN  
bit in CRB = 1) with internally generated word length frame  
sync for both TX and RX (Bit FSL1 = 0 and Bit FSL0 = 0 in  
CRB). Normal operation of the ESSI is selected by making  
MOD = 0 in the CRB. Set the word length to 16 by setting bits

APPLICATION HINTS  
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should  
be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 μF capaci-  
tors to AGND. To achieve the best from these decoupling  
components, they must be placed as close as possible to the  
device, ideally right up against the device. The 0.1 μF capacitors  
should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and effective  
series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types or  
surface mount types, which provide a low impedance path to  
ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to  
internal logic switching.  
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT  
The AD7927 has very good immunity to noise on the power  
supplies as can be seen in Figure 6. However, care should still  
be taken with regard to grounding and layout.  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7927 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 as it gives the  
best shielding. All three AGND pins of the AD7927 should be  
sunk in the AGND plane. Digital and analog ground planes  
should be joined at only one place. If the AD7927 is in a system  
where multiple devices require an AGND to DGND connec-  
tion, the connection should still be made at one point only, a  
star ground point that should be established as close as possible  
to the AD7927.  
EVALUATING THE AD7927 PERFORMANCE  
The recommended layout for the AD7927 is outlined in the  
evaluation board for the AD7927. The evaluation board pack-  
age includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board,  
documentation, and software for controlling the board from  
the PC via the evaluation-board controller. The evaluation-  
board controller can be used in conjunction with the AD7927  
Evaluation Board as well as many other Analog Devices, Inc.  
evaluation boards ending in the CB designator to demonstrate/  
evaluate the ac and dc performance of the AD7927.  
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 AD7927 to avoid noise coupling. The power  
supply lines to the AD7927 should use as large a trace as possi-  
ble to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of  
glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals, like  
clocks, should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating  
noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals should  
never 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 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 software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier  
transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7927.  
The software and documentation are on a CD shipped with  
the evaluation board.
