ADS127L11 400-kSPS, Wide-Bandwidth, 24-Bit, Delta-Sigma ADC  
1 Features  
3 Description  
Programmable data rate:  
The ADS127L11 is a 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-  
to-digital converter (ADC) with data rates up to  
400 kSPS using the wideband filter and up to  
1067 kSPS using the low-latency filter. The device  
offers an excellent combination of ac performance  
and dc precision with low power consumption  
(18.6 mW in high-speed mode).  
– Up to 400 kSPS (wideband filter)  
– Up to 1.067 MSPS (low-latency filter)  
Selectable digital filter:  
– Wideband or low-latency  
AC accuracy with DC precision:  
– Dynamic range: 111.5 dB (200 kSPS)  
– THD: –120 dB  
– INL: 0.9 ppm of FS  
– Offset drift: 50 nV/°C  
– Gain drift: 0.6 ppm/°C  
Power-scalable architecture:  
– High-speed mode: 400 kSPS, 18.6 mW  
– Low-speed mode: 50 kSPS, 3.3 mW  
Input and reference precharge buffers  
Internal or external clock  
Functional Safety-Capable  
Documentation available to aid functional safety  
system design  
The device integrates input and reference buffers  
to reduce signal loading. The low-drift modulator  
achieves excellent dc precision with low in-band noise  
for outstanding ac performance. The power-scalable  
architecture provides two speed modes to optimize  
data rate, resolution, and power consumption.  
The digital filter is configurable for wideband or low-  
latency operation, allowing wideband ac performance  
or data throughput for dc signals to be optimized, all in  
one device.  
The serial interface features daisy-chain capability to  
reduce the SPI I/O over an isolation barrier. Input and  
output data and register settings are validated by a  
cyclic-redundancy check (CRC) feature to enhance  
operational reliability.

(1) Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings do not imply  
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions.  
If briefly operating outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not  
sustain damage, but it may not be fully functional – this may affect device reliability, functionality, performance, and shorten the device  
lifetime.  
(2) Analog input pins AINP, AINN, REFP, and REFN are diode-clamped to AVDD1 and AVSS. Limit the input current to 10 mA in the event  
the analog input voltage exceeds AVDD1 + 0.3 V or AVSS – 0.3 V. Digital input pin START and digital output pins SDO/DRDY and  
DRDY are diode-clamped to IOVDD and DGND. Digital input pins CS, SCLK, SDI, RESET and CLK are diode-clamped to DGND.  
Limit the input current to 10 mA in the event the digital input voltage exceeds IOVDD + 0.3 V (for effected pins) or exceeds DGND –  
0.3 V.

7 Parameter Measurement Information  
7.1 Offset Error Measurement  
Offset error is measured with the ADC inputs externally shorted together. The input common-mode voltage is  
fixed to the mid-point of the AVDD1 and AVSS power-supply range. Offset error is specified at TA = 25°C.  
7.2 Offset Drift Measurement  
Offset drift is defined as the change in offset voltage measured at multiple points over the specified temperature  
range. Offset drift is calculated using the box method in which a box is formed over the maximum and minimum  
offset voltages and over the specified temperature range. The box method specifies limits for the temperature  
error but does not specify the exact shape and slope of the device under test.  
Equation 1 shows the offset drift calculation using the box method:  
Offset Drift (nV/°C) = 109 · (VOFSMAX – VOFSMIN) / (TMAX – TMIN  
)
(1)  
where:  
VOFSMAX and VOFSMIN = Maximum and minimum offset voltages over the specified temperature range  
TMAX and TMIN = Maximum and minimum temperatures  
7.3 Gain Error Measurement  
Gain error is defined as the difference between the actual and the ideal slopes of the ADC transfer function. Gain  
error is measured by applying dc test voltages at –95% and 95% of FSR. The error is calculated by subtracting  
the difference of the dc test voltages (ideal slope) from the difference in the ADC output voltages (actual slope).  
The difference in the slopes is divided by the ideal slope and multiplied by 106 to convert the error to ppm of  
FSR. Error resulting from the ADC reference voltage is excluded from the gain error measurement. The gain  
error is specified at TA = 25°C. Equation 2 shows the calculation of gain error:  
Gain Error (ppm of FSR) = 106 · (ΔVOUT – ΔVIN) / ΔVIN  
(2)  
where:  
ΔVOUT = Difference of two ADC output voltages  
ΔVIN = Difference of two input test voltages  
7.4 Gain Drift Measurement  
Gain drift is defined as the change of gain error measured at multiple points over the specified temperature  
range. The box method is used in which a box is formed over the maximum and minimum gain errors over the  
specified temperature range. The box method specifies limits for the temperature error but does not specify the  
exact shape and slope of the device under test. Equation 3 describes gain drift using the box method.  
Gain Drift (ppm/°C) = (GEMAX – GEMIN) / (TMAX – TMIN  
)
(3)  
where:  
GEMAX and GEMIN = Maximum and minimum gain errors over the specified temperature range  
TMAX and TMIN = Maximum and minimum temperatures  
7.5 NMRR Measurement  
Normal-mode rejection ratio (NMRR) specifies the ability of the ADC to reject normal-mode input signals at  
specific frequencies, usually expressed at 50-Hz and 60-Hz input frequencies. Normal-mode rejection is uniquely  
determined by the frequency response of the digital filter. In this case, the nulls in the frequency response of the  
low-latency sinc3 filter option located at 50 Hz and 60 Hz provide rejection at these frequencies.

7.6 CMRR Measurement  
Common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) specifies the ability of the ADC to reject common-mode input signals.  
CMRR is expressed as dc and ac parameters. For measurement of CMRR (dc), three common-mode test  
voltages equal to AVSS + 50 mV, (AVDD1 + AVSS) / 2, and AVDD1 – 50 mV are applied with the inputs  
externally shorted together. The maximum change of the ADC offset voltage is recorded versus the change in  
common-mode test voltage. Equation 4 shows how CMRR (dc) is computed.  
CMRR (dc) (dB) = 20 · log(ΔVCM / ΔVOS  
)
(4)  
where:  
ΔVCM = Change of dc common-mode test voltage  
ΔVOS = Change of corresponding offset voltage  
For the measurement of CMRR (ac), an ac common-mode signal is applied at various test frequencies at 95%  
full-scale range. An FFT is computed from the ADC data with the common-mode signal applied. As shown in  
Equation 5, the nine largest amplitude spurious frequencies in the frequency spectrum are summed as powers  
and related to the amplitude of the common-mode test signal.  
PSRR (ac) (dB) = 20 · log(VCM / VO)  
(5)  
where:  
VCM (RMS) = Common-mode input signal amplitude  
2
VO (RMS) = Root-sum-square amplitude of spurious frequencies = √(V0 2 + V1 2 + ...V8  
)
7.7 PSRR Measurement  
Power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) specifies the ability of the ADC to reject power-supply interference. PSRR is  
expressed as ac and dc parameters. For measurement of PSRR (dc), the power-supply voltage is changed over  
the range of minimum, nominal, and maximum specified voltages with the inputs externally shorted together. The  
maximum change of ADC offset voltage is recorded versus the change in power-supply voltage. PSRR (dc) is  
computed as shown in Equation 6 as the ratio of change of the power-supply voltage step to the change of offset  
voltage.  
PSRR (dc) (dB) = 20 · log(ΔVPS / ΔVOS  
)
(6)  
where:  
ΔVPS = Change of power-supply voltage  
ΔVOS = Change of offset voltage  
For the measurement of PSRR (ac), the power-supply voltage is modulated by a 100-mVpp (35 mVRMS) signal  
at various test frequencies. An FFT of the ADC data with power-supply modulation is performed. As shown in  
Equation 7, the nine largest amplitude spurious frequencies in the frequency spectrum are summed as powers  
and related to the amplitude of the power-supply modulation signal.  
PSRR (ac) (dB) = 20 · log(VPS / VO)  
(7)  
where:  
VPS (RMS) = 100 mV ac power-supply modulation signal  
2
VO (RMS) = Root-sum-square amplitude of spurious frequencies = √(V0 2 + V1 2 + ...V8  
)

7.8 SNR Measurement  
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a measure of noise performance with a full-scale ac input signal. For the SNR  
measurement, a –0.2-dBFS, 1-kHz test signal is used with VCM equal to the mid-supply voltage. As shown in  
Equation 8, SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the input signal to the root-sum-square of all other frequency  
components derived from the FFT result of the ADC output samples. DC and harmonics of the original signal  
are excluded from the SNR calculation. In a test case where an FFT window function is used because of  
non-coherent sampling, the spectral leakage of adjacent frequency bins surrounding dc, the original signal and  
signal harmonics are removed to calculate SNR.  
SNR (dB) = 20 · log(VIN / en)  
(8)  
where:  
VIN = Input test signal  
en = Root-sum-square of frequency components excluding dc and signal harmonics  
7.9 INL Error Measurement  
Integral nonlinearity (INL) error specifies the linearity of the ADC dc transfer function. INL is measured by  
applying a series of dc test voltages along a straight line computed from the slope and offset transfer function  
of the ADC. INL is the difference between a set of dc test voltages [VIN(N)] to the corresponding set of output  
voltages [VOUT(N)]. Equation 9 shows the end-point method of calculating INL error.  
INL (ppm of FSR) = maximum absolute value of INL test series [106 · (VIN(N) – VOUT(N)) / FSR]  
(9)  
where:  
N = Index of dc test voltage  
[VIN(N)] = Set of test voltages over the range –95% to 95% of FSR  
[VOUT(N)] = Set of corresponding ADC output voltages  
FSR (full-scale range) = 2 · VREF (1x input range) or 4 · VREF (2x input range)  
The INL best-fit method uses a least-squared error (LSE) calculation to determine a new straight line to minimize  
the root-sum-square of the INL errors above and below the original end-point line.  
7.10 THD Measurement  
Total harmonic distortion (THD) specifies the dynamic linearity of the ADC with an ac input signal. For the THD  
measurement, a –0.2-dBFS, 1-kHz differential input signal with VCM equal to the mid-supply voltage is applied.  
A sufficient number of data points are collected to yield an FFT result with frequency bin widths of 5 Hz or less.  
The 5-Hz bin width reduces the noise in the harmonic bins for consistent THD measurements. As shown in  
Equation 10, THD is calculated as the ratio of the root-sum-square amplitude of harmonics to the input signal  
amplitude.  
THD (dB) = 20 · log(VH / VIN)  
(10)  
where:  
VH = Root-sum-square of harmonics: √(V2 2+V3 2+ ...Vn 2), where Vn = Ninth harmonic voltage  
VIN = Input signal fundamental

7.11 SFDR Measurement  
Spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is the ratio of the rms value of a single-tone ac input to the highest  
spurious signal in the ADC frequency spectrum. SFDR measurement includes harmonics of the original signal.  
For the SFDR measurement, a –0.2-dBFS, 1-kHz input signal with VCM equal to the mid-supply voltage is  
applied. As shown in Equation 11, SFDR is the ratio of the rms values of the input signal to the single highest  
spurious signal, including harmonics of the original signal.  
SFDR (dB) = 20 · log(VIN / VSPUR  
)
(11)  
where:  
VIN = Input test signal  
VSPUR = Single highest spurious level  
7.12 Noise Performance  
The ADC provides two operational speed modes (high speed and low speed) that allow trade-offs between ADC  
resolution, power consumption, and signal bandwidth. Low-speed mode operates the modulator at 1/8th speed  
for decreased device power consumption and, as a result, the output data rates are reduced by 1/8th. The  
programmable oversampling ratio (OSR) determines the output data rate and associated signal bandwidth, and  
therefore also determines the total noise performance. Increasing the OSR lowers the signal bandwidth and total  
noise by averaging more samples from the modulator to yield one conversion result.  
The wideband filter provides data rates up to 400 kSPS in high-speed mode and 50 kSPS in low-speed mode.  
The low-latency sinc4 filter provides data rates up to 1.067 MSPS in high-speed mode and up to 133 kSPS in  
low-speed mode. The low-latency filter provides the options of sinc4, sinc4 + sinc1, sinc3, and sinc3 + sinc1  
configurations.  
Table 7-1 through Table 7-5 summarize the noise performance and signal bandwidth of the various filter modes.  
Noise performance is shown with 1x input range and a 4.096-V reference voltage. In comparison, decreasing the  
reference voltage to 2.5 V decreases dynamic range by 4 dB (typical). Operation in 2x input range and a 2.5-V  
reference voltage decreases dynamic range by 3 dB (typical) compared to 1x input range and 4.096-V reference  
voltage operation.  
The noise data are the result of the standard deviation (rms) of the conversion data with inputs shorted and  
biased to the mid-supply voltage and are representative of typical performance at TA = 25°C. A minimum of  
1,000 or 10 seconds of consecutive conversions (whichever occurs first) are used to measure RMS noise (en).  
Because of the statistical nature of noise, repeated noise measurements can yield higher or lower noise results.  
Equation 12 converts RMS noise to dynamic range (dB) and Equation 13 converts RMS noise to effective  
resolution (bits).  
Dynamic Range (dB) = 20 · log[FSR / (2 · √2 · en)]  
Effective Resolution (bits) = log2(FSR / en)  
(12)  
(13)  
where:  
FSR = 2 · VREF (1x input range)  
FSR = 4 · VREF (2x input range)  
en = Noise voltage (RMS)  
When evaluating ADC noise performance, consider the effect of external buffer and amplifier noise to the total  
noise performance. The noise performance of the ADC can be evaluated in isolation by selecting the input short  
test connection of the input multiplexer.

8 Detailed Description  
8.1 Overview  
The ADS127L11 is a high performance, 24-bit delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) offering an  
excellent combination of dc accuracy and ac precision. The device is optimized to provide high resolution with  
low power consumption. Integrated input and reference precharge buffers simplify the driver requirements. The  
digital filter consists of two programmable modes: low-latency mode (typically used for measurement of dc  
signals) and wideband mode (typically used for measurement of ac signals).  
The delta-sigma modulator produces low-resolution, high-frequency data proportional to the signal magnitude.  
Noise shaping within the modulator shifts the quantization noise of the low-resolution data to an out-of-band  
frequency range where the noise is removed by the digital filter. The noise remaining within the pass band is  
white, which is reduced by the digital filter. The digital filter simultaneously decimates and filters the modulator  
data to provide the high-resolution final output data.  
The Functional Block Diagram shows the features of the ADS127L11. The modulator is a third-order, multibit  
delta-sigma design that measures the differential input signal, VIN = (VAINP – VAINN), against the differential  
reference, VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). Input and positive reference precharge buffers reduce the bandwidth and  
driving requirements of the external input driver. The VCM output provides a buffered mid-supply voltage to drive  
the common-mode voltage of an external driver stage.  
The digital filter offers two modes of operation: the low-latency filter and the wideband filter. The low-latency filter  
is programmable to sinc4, sinc4 + sinc1, sinc3, and sinc3 + sinc1 modes, allowing optimization between noise  
performance and latency. The sinc3 + sinc1 filter provides rejection at 400 Hz, 60 Hz, 50 Hz, and 16.6 Hz. The  
wideband filter is a multi-tap finite impulse response (FIR) design providing outstanding frequency response with  
low pass-band ripple, steep transition-band, and high stop-band attenuation. Programmable oversampling ratio  
(OSR) and two speed modes allow optimized choices of bandwidth, resolution, and device power consumption.  
The SPI-compatible serial interface is used to configure the device and read conversion data. The interface  
features daisy-chaining capability for convenient connection of multichannel, simultaneous-sampled systems.  
Integrated cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error monitoring improves system-level reliability. DRDY is the  
conversion data-ready output signal.  
The device supports external clock operation for ac or dc applications, and internal oscillator operation for dc  
applications. The START pin synchronizes the digital filter process. The RESET pin resets the ADC.  
Supply voltage AVDD1 powers the precharge buffers and the input sampling switches. AVDD2 powers the  
modulator via an internal regulator (CAPA). Supply voltage IOVDD is the digital I/O voltage that also powers the  
digital core via an internal regulator (CAPD). The internal regulators minimize overall power consumption and  
provide consistent levels of performance.

8.3 Feature Description  
8.3.1 Analog Input (AINP, AINN)  
The analog input of the ADC is differential, with the input defined as a difference voltage: VIN = VAINP – VAINN  
.
For best performance, drive the input with a differential signal with the common-mode voltage centered to  
mid-supply (AVDD1 + AVSS) / 2.  
The ADC can accept either unipolar or bipolar input signals by configuring AVDD1 and AVSS accordingly. Figure  
8-1 shows an example of a differential signal with the supplies configured to unipolar operation. Symmetric input  
voltage headroom is available when the common-mode voltage is at mid-supply (AVDD1 / 2). Use AVDD1 = 5 V  
and AVSS = 0 V for unipolar operation (AVDD1 can be reduced to 3 V in low-speed mode). The VCM output  
provides a buffered common-mode voltage to level-shift the output voltage in the external driver stage. Figure  
8-2 shows an example of a differential signal configured for bipolar operation. The common-mode voltage of the  
signal is normally at 0 V. Use AVDD1 and AVSS = ±2.5 V for bipolar operation (AVDD and AVSS can be reduced  
to ±1.5 V in low-speed mode).

In both bipolar and unipolar power-supply configurations, the ADC can accept single-ended input signals by tying  
the AINN input to AVSS or ground, or to mid-supply. However, because AINN is now a fixed voltage, the voltage  
range of the ADC is limited by the input swing range of AINP (±2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V for a 5-V supply).  
The simplified circuit of Figure 8-3 represents the analog input structure.

Diodes protect the ADC inputs from electrostatic discharge (ESD) events that occur during the manufacturing  
process and during printed circuit board (PCB) assembly when manufactured in an ESD-controlled environment.  
If the inputs are driven below AVSS – 0.3 V, or above AVDD1 + 0.3 V, the protection diodes may conduct. If  
these conditions are possible, use external clamp diodes, series resistors, or both to limit the input current to the  
specified value.  
The input multiplexer offers the option of normal or reverse input signal polarities. The multiplexer also provides  
two internal test modes to help verify ADC performance. The offset test mode is used to verify noise and offset  
error by providing a short to the ADC inputs. The resulting noise and offset voltage data are evaluated by the  
user. CMRR performance is tested using the CMRR test mode by applying a CMRR test signal to the AINP  
input. The resulting CMRR test data are also evaluated by the user. Table 8-1 shows the switch configurations of  
the input multiplexer circuit of Figure 8-3.

The device has optional input precharge buffers to reduce the charge required by capacitor CIN during the  
input sampling phase. When the capacitor is near full charge, the precharge buffers are bypassed (S7 and S8  
of Figure 8-3 in up positions). The external signal driver then provides the fine charge to the capacitor. At the  
completion of the sample phase, the sampling capacitor is discharged by the modulator to complete the cycle,  
at which time the sample process repeats. The buffers reduce the transient input current required to charge  
CIN, therefore reducing the settling time requirement of the signal. Incomplete settling of the input signal can  
lead to degraded ADC performance. The input buffers are enabled by the AINP_BUF and AINN_BUF bits of  
the CONFIG1 register. In many cases, if AINN is tied to ground or to a low-impedance fixed potential, the AINN  
buffer can be disabled to reduce power consumption.  
With the input precharge buffers disabled, the charge required by the input sampling capacitor can be modeled  
as an average input current flowing into the ADC inputs. As shown in Equation 14 and Equation 15, the input  
current is comprised of differential and absolute components.  
Input Current (Differential Input Voltage) = fMOD · CIN · 106 (μA/V)  
(14)  
(15)  
where:  
fMOD = fCLK / 2 = 12.8 MHz (high-speed mode), 1.6 MHz (low-speed mode)  
CIN = 7.4 pF (1x input range), 3.6 pF (2x input range)  
Input Current (Absolute Input Voltage) = fMOD·CCM · 106 (μA/V)  
where:  
fMOD = fCLK / 2 = 12.8 MHz (high-speed mode), 1.6 MHz (low-speed mode)  
CCM = 0.35 pF (1x input range), 0.17 pF (2x input range)  
For fMOD = 12.8 MHz, CIN = 7.4 pF, and CCM = 0.35 pF, the input current resulting from differential voltage is  
95 μA/V and the input current resulting from the absolute voltage is 4.5 μA/V. For example, if AINP = 4.5 V and  
AINN = 0.5 V, then VIN = 4 V. The total AINP input current = (4 V · 95 μA/V) + (4.5 V · 4.5 μA/V) = 400 μA, and  
the total AINN current is (–4 V · 95 μA/V) + (0.5 V · 4.5 μA/V) = –378 μA.  
The charge demand of the input sampling capacitor requires the signal to settle within a half cycle at the  
modulator frequency t = 1 / (2 · fMOD). To satisfy this requirement, the driver bandwidth is typically required  
to be much larger than the original signal frequency. The bandwidth of the driver can be determined to be  
sufficient when the THD and SNR data sheet performance are achieved. In the low-speed mode of operation,  
the modulator sampling is eight times slower, therefore more time is available for driver settling.

8.3.1.1 Input Range  
The ADC has two programmable input ranges: 1x and 2x, where the 1x range is defined by VIN = ±VREF and  
the 2x range is defined by VIN = ±2 · VREF. The 2x input range doubles the available range when using a  
reference voltage = 2.5 V or less. The 2x input range typically improves SNR by +1 dB, but this requires driving  
the inputs to the 5-V supply rails to achieve full SNR when using a 2.5-V reference voltage. The best available  
SNR performance (4 dB improvement typical) is by using a 4.096-V or 5-V reference voltage (be sure to program  
the ADC to the high-reference range mode). The 2x range operation is internally forced to the 1x range mode  
when the high-reference range is selected. See the CONFIG1 register to program the input range. Table 8-2  
summarizes the ADC input range options.

INPUT RANGE (V)

±2·VREF  
(1) The input range is forced to 1x when the high-reference range is  
selected.  
In some cases, the full available input range is limited by the power supply voltage. For example, the input range  
exceeds the power supply voltage when using a 3-V power supply with a 2.5-V reference voltage in the 2x range  
mode.  
The ADC also provides the option of extending the input range beyond standard full-scale range. In this mode,  
the input range is extended by 25% to provide signal headroom before clipping of the signal occurs. Output data  
are scaled such that the positive and negative full-scale output codes (7FFFFFh and 800000h) are at ±1.25 · k ·  
VREF, where k is the 1x or 2x input range option.  
The SNR performance degrades when the signal exceeds 110% standard full-scale range because of modulator  
saturation. The modulator MOD_FLAG bit of the STATUS register indicates when modulator saturation occurs.  
Figure 8-4 shows SNR performance when operating in the extended range. See the CONFIG2 register to  
program the extended range mode.

8.3.2 Reference Voltage (REFP, REFN)  
A reference voltage is required for operation. The reference voltage input is differential, defined as: VREF = VREFP  
– VREFN, and applied to the REFP and REFN inputs. See the Reference Voltage Range section for details of the  
reference voltage operating range.  
As shown in Figure 8-5, the reference inputs have an input structure similar to the analog inputs. ESD diodes  
protect the reference inputs. To keep these diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages on the reference  
pins do not go below AVSS by more than 0.3 V, or above AVDD1 by 0.3 V. If these conditions are possible, use  
external clamp diodes, series resistors, or both to limit the input current to the specified value.

Figure 8-5. Reference Input Circuit  
The reference voltage is sampled by a sampling capacitor CREF. In unbuffered mode, current flows through the  
reference inputs to charge the sampling capacitor. The current consists of a dc component and an ac component  
that varies with the frequency of the modulator sampling clock. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the  
reference input current specification.  
The effect of charging the reference sampling capacitor requires the external reference driver to settle at the  
end of the sample phase t = 1 / (2 · fMOD). Incomplete settling of the reference voltage can lead to excessive  
gain error and gain error drift. Operation in low-speed mode reduces the modulator sampling clock frequency by  
1/8th, therefore allowing more time for the reference driver to settle.  
The ADC provides a precharge buffer option for the REFP input to reduce the charge drawn by the sampling  
capacitor. The precharge buffer provides the coarse charge for the reference sampling capacitor CREF. Halfway  
through the sample phase, the precharge buffer is bypassed (S1 is in an up position as demonstrated in Figure  
8-5), at which time the external driver provides the fine charge to the sampling capacitor. Because the buffer  
reduces the charge demand of the sampling capacitor, the bandwidth requirement of the external driver is greatly  
reduced.  
Many applications either ground REFN, or connect REFN to AVSS. A precharge buffer for REFN is not  
necessary for these cases. For applications when REFN is not a low impedance source, consider buffering  
the REFN input.  
8.3.2.1 Reference Voltage Range  
The operation of the ADC is optimized by separating the reference voltage into two operating ranges: low-  
reference range and high-reference range. The reference voltage range must be programmed to match the  
applied reference voltage, such as 2.5 V or 4.096 V. The low-reference operating range is 0.5 V to 2.75 V, and  
the high-reference operating range is 1 V up to the AVDD1 – AVSS power supplies. For best performance where  
the ranges overlap, such as reference voltage = 2.5 V, use the low-reference range. Program the REF_RNG bit  
of the CONFIG1 register to the appropriate reference range to match the applied reference voltage. When the  
high-reference range is selected, the input range is internally forced to 1x.

8.3.3 Clock Operation  
Figure 8-6 shows the block diagram of the internal clock circuit. The ADC can be operated by an external clock  
or the internal oscillator. The nominal value of fCLK is 25.6 MHz in high-speed mode and 3.2 MHz in low-speed  
mode. A divide-by-eight option is available at the CLK input to divide the high-speed mode clock frequency to  
provide the low-speed mode clock frequency. The clock frequency is divided by two to derive the modulator  
sampling clock (fMOD).

8.3.3.1 Internal Oscillator  
At power-up and after reset, the ADC defaults to internal oscillator mode (CLK_SEL bit = 0b). The frequency  
of the internal oscillator automatically scales to high-speed or low-speed operation. Because of the clock  
jitter associated with internal oscillator, only use the internal oscillator for dc signal measurements. AC signal  
measurement is not recommended when using the internal oscillator.  
8.3.3.2 External Clock  
To operate the ADC with an external clock, apply the clock signal to the CLK pin, then program the CLK_SEL  
bit to 1b. A divide-by-eight option is available to operate the ADC in low-speed mode using the high-speed mode  
clock frequency (set the CLK_DIV bit = 1b). The clock can be decreased from nominal to yield specific data rates  
between the integer OSR values. However, the conversion noise when operating at the reduced clock frequency  
is the same as the higher clock frequency. Reducing the conversion noise is only possible by increasing the  
OSR value or changing the filter mode.  
Clock jitter results in timing variations in the modulator sampling that leads to degraded SNR performance. A  
low-jitter clock is essential to meet data sheet SNR performance. For example, with a 200-kHz signal frequency,  
an external clock with < 10-ps (rms) jitter is required. For lower signal frequencies, the clock jitter requirement  
can be relaxed by –20 dB per decade of signal frequency. For example, with fIN = 20 kHz, a clock with 100-ps  
jitter can be used. Many types of RC oscillators exhibit high levels of jitter and should be avoided for ac signal  
measurement. Instead, use a crystal-based clock oscillator as the clock source. Avoid ringing on the clock input.  
A series resistor placed at the output of the clock buffer often helps reduce ringing.  
8.3.4 Modulator  
The ADS127L11 uses a switched-capacitor, third-order, singe-loop modulator with a 5-bit internal quantizer. This  
modulator topology achieves excellent noise and linearity performance while consuming very low power. As with  
most high-order modulators driven by high amplitude out-of-band signals, modulator saturation can occur. When  
saturated, the in-band signal still converts, however the noise floor increases. Figure 8-7 illustrates the amplitude  
limit of out-of-band signals to avoid modulator saturation. The limit of dc and in-band signal amplitudes are 1 dB  
above standard full scale.

Figure 8-7. Amplitude Limit to Avoid Modulator Saturation  
Modulator saturation is indicated by the MOD_FLAG bit of the STATUS register. The modulator saturation  
status is latched during the conversion period and is refreshed at completion of the next conversion. Modulator  
saturation resulting from out-of-band signals can be avoided by using an antialias filter at the ADC inputs. The  
Typical Application section describes an example of a fourth-order antialias filter, however a low-order filter can  
be used with equal effect provided the amplitude is below the saturation limit.  
8.3.5 Digital Filter  
The digital filter low-pass filters and decimates the low-resolution, high-speed data from the modulator to  
produce high-resolution, low-speed output data. The programmable oversampling ratio (OSR) determines the  
amount of filtering that affects signal bandwidth and conversion noise, and the final data rate through decimation.  
The output data rate is defined by: fDATA = fMOD / OSR.  
The ADC offers the choice of two filter modes: wideband and low latency. The filter mode selection optimizes  
either the frequency response characteristics (wideband filter mode) or the time domain characteristics (low-  
latency filter mode).  
8.3.5.1 Wideband Filter  
The wideband filter is a multistage FIR filter design featuring linear phase response, low pass-band  
ripple, narrow transition band, and high stop-band attenuation. Because of the superior frequency response  
characteristics, the filter is well suited for measuring ac signals. The ADC provides eight programmable  
oversampling ratios (OSR) and two speed modes, offering a range of data rate and resolution to select from.  
Figure 8-8 through Figure 8-12 illustrate the frequency response of the wideband filter. Figure 8-8 shows the  
pass-band ripple. Figure 8-9 shows the detailed frequency response at the transition band.

Figure 8-10 shows the frequency response to fDATA for OSR ≥ 64. The stop band begins at fDATA / 2 to prevent  
aliasing at the Nyquist frequency. Figure 8-11 shows the stop-band attenuation to fMOD for OSR = 32. In the  
stop-band region, out-of-band input frequencies intermodulate with multiples of the chop frequency at fMOD / 32,  
creating a pattern of response peaks that exceed the stop-band attenuation of the digital filter. The width of the  
response peaks is twice the filter bandwidth. Stop-band attenuation is improved when used in conjunction with  
an antialias filter at the ADC input. See the Typical Application section for details of a fourth-order antialias filter.

The group delay of the filter is the time for an input signal to propagate from the input to the output of the filter.  
Because the filter is a linear-phase design, the envelope of a complex input signal is undistorted by the filter. The  
group delay (expressed in units of time) is constant versus frequency equal to the value = 34 / fDATA. After a step  
input is applied, fully settled data occur at 68 data periods later. Figure 8-13 illustrates the filter group delay (34 /  
fDATA) and the settling time to a step input (68 / fDATA).

The digital filter is restarted when the ADC is synchronized. The ADC suppresses the first 68 conversion periods  
until the filter is fully settled. There is no need to discard data after synchronization. The time of data suppression  
is the conversion latency time as listed in the latency time column of Table 8-3. A 0.4-μs fixed overhead time is  
incurred for all data rates. If a step input occurs asynchronous to the conversion period without synchronizing,  
then the next 69 conversions are partially settled data.

8.3.5.2 Low-Latency Filter (Sinc)  
The low-latency filter is a cascaded-integrator-comb (CIC) topology that minimizes the delay (latency) as the  
conversion data propagates through the filter. The CIC filter is otherwise known as a sinc filter because of  
the characteristic sinx/x (sinc) frequency response. The latency time is shorter compared to the wideband  
filter, making the filter suitable for fast acquisition of dc signals. The device offers the choice of four sinc filter  
configurations: sinc4, sinc4 + sinc1, sinc3, and sinc3 + sinc1 to provide trade-offs of acquisition time, noise  
performance, and line-cycle rejection.  
Latency is defined as the time from synchronization to the falling edge of DRDY, at which time, fully settled data  
are available. There is no need to discard data because the unsettled data are suppressed by the ADC. Detailed  
latency data for each sinc filter mode are given in Table 8-5 through Table 8-8.

If the input is changed without synchronization, then the next conversion data are partially settled. The number  
of conversions required for fully settled data in this case is found by rounding the latency time value to the next  
whole number of conversion periods.  
Equation 17 is the general expression of the sinc-filter frequency response. For single-stage sinc filter options  
(for example, the single-stage sinc3 or sinc4 filter), the second stage is not used.

8.3.5.2.1 Sinc4 Filter  
The sinc4 filter averages and decimates the high-speed modulator data to yield data rates from 1066.6 kSPS  
to 3.125 kSPS in high-speed mode, and data rates from 133.333 kSPS to 0.390625 kSPS in low-speed mode.  
Increasing the OSR value decreases the data rate and simultaneously reduces signal bandwidth and total noise  
resulting from increased decimation and data averaging.  
Because of the reduced amount of data averaging performed in the filtering process for OSR values = 12, 16  
and 24, the output resolution of the corresponding data rates is reduced. Table 8-4 summarizes the output data  
resolution for these OSR values.

Figure 8-14 and Figure 8-15 show the sinc4 filter frequency response at OSR = 32. The frequency response  
consists of a series of response nulls occurring at discrete frequencies. The null frequencies occur at multiples of  
fDATA. At the null frequencies, the filter has zero gain. A folded image of the overall frequency response appears  
at multiples of fMOD, as illustrated in the fMOD frequency plot of Figure 8-15. No attenuation is provided by the  
filter at input frequencies near n · fMOD (n = 1, 2, 3, and so on), and if present, alias into the pass band.

8.3.5.2.2 Sinc4 + Sinc1 Filter  
The sinc4 + sinc1 filter is the cascade of two filter sections: sinc4 and sinc1. The OSR of the sinc4 stage is  
a constant value (32) and the programmable OSR of the sinc1 stage determines the output data rate. The  
sinc4 + sinc1 filter mode has comparably less latency time than that of the single-stage sinc4 filter. Table 8-6  
summarizes the sinc4 + sinc1 filter characteristics.

Figure 8-16 shows the frequency response of the sinc4 + sinc1 filter for three values of OSR. The combined  
frequency response is the overlay of the sinc1 filter with the sinc4 filter. For low values of OSR, the response  
profile is dominated by the rolloff of the sinc4 filter. Nulls in the frequency response occur at n · fDATA, n = 1, 2, 3,  
and so on. At the null frequencies, the filter has zero gain.

8.3.5.2.3 Sinc3 Filter  
The sinc3 filter mode is a single-stage filter. Relatively high values of OSR provide line-cycle rejection with  
data rates = 480 SPS, 400 SPS, 60 SPS, and 50 SPS. Because of the large width of the frequency response  
notch, excellent line-frequency NMRR and CMRR can be achieved with this filter. Table 8-7 summarizes the  
characteristics of the sinc3 filter.

8.3.6 Power Supplies  
The device has three analog power-supply pins (AVDD1, AVSS, and AVDD2) and one digital power-supply pin  
(IOVDD). The power supplies can be sequenced in any order and are tolerant of slow or fast power-supply  
voltage ramp rates. However, in no case must any analog or digital input exceed the respective AVDD1 and  
AVSS (analog) or IOVDD (digital) power supply.  
8.3.6.1 AVDD1 and AVSS  
AVDD1 and AVSS power the precharge buffers and the internal sampling switches. The ADC can be configured  
either for bipolar input operation (such as using ±2.5-V power supplies), or for unipolar input operation (such as  
AVDD1 = 5 V and AVSS = DGND). Use a parallel combination of 1-µF and 0.1-µF bypass capacitors across the  
AVDD1 supply voltage and the AVSS pin, with a 3-Ω series resistor placed in series between the capacitors and  
the AVDD1 pin. Place the resistor and capacitors as close as possible to the AVDD1 pin.  
8.3.6.2 AVDD2  
AVDD2 is with respect to AVSS and powers the modulator core. AVDD2 can be connected to AVDD1 to simplify  
the required supply voltages, or AVDD2 can be operated by a lower supply voltage to minimize device power  
consumption. Use a combination of 1-µF and 0.1-µF bypass capacitors across the AVDD2 to AVSS supply pins.  
Table 8-9 shows examples of AVDD1, AVSS, and AVDD2 power-supply configurations.

IOVDD is the digital I/O supply voltage pin for the device. IOVDD is internally regulated to 1.25 V to supply  
power to the digital core. Bypass IOVDD to DGND with a parallel combination of 1-µF and 0.1-µF capacitors.  
The voltage level of IOVDD is independent of the analog supply configuration.

8.3.6.4 Power-On Reset (POR)  
The ADC uses power-supply monitors to detect power-up and supply brownout events. Power-up or power-  
cycling of the IOVDD digital supply results in device reset. Power-up or power-cycling of the analog power  
supplies does not reset the ADC.  
Figure 8-21 shows the digital power-on thresholds of the IOVDD and the internal CAPD voltages. When the  
voltages are above their respective thresholds, the ADC is released from reset. DRDY later transitions high  
when the SPI is ready for communication. If the START pin is high, the ADC immediately begins conversions  
with the DRDY pin pulsing for each conversion. However, valid conversion data only occur after the power  
supplies and reference voltage are stabilized. The POR_FLAG bit of the STATUS register indicates the device  
POR. Write 1b to clear the bit in order to detect the next POR event.

Figure 8-22 shows the power-on thresholds of the analog power supplies. Four monitors are used for four analog  
supply voltage conditions (AVDD1 – DGND), (AVDD1 – AVSS), (AVDD2 – AVSS), and (CAPA – AVSS). Valid  
conversion data are available after all power supplies and the reference voltage are stabilized after power-on.  
The ALV_FLAG bit of the STATUS register sets when any analog power voltage falls below the respective  
threshold. Write 1b to clear the bit to detect the next analog supply low-voltage condition. Power cycling the  
analog power supplies does not reset the ADC. Because a low voltage on the IOVDD supply also resets the  
internal analog LDO (CAPA), the analog low-voltage flag (ALV_FLAG) is also set.

CAPA and CAPD are the output voltages of the internal analog and digital voltage regulators. The regulators  
are used to reduce the supply voltage to operate internal sub-circuits and are not designed to drive external  
loads. CAPA is the analog regulator voltage output and is powered from AVDD2. The output voltage is 1.6 V  
with respect to AVSS. Bypass CAPA with a 1-µF capacitor to AVSS. CAPD is the digital regulator voltage output,

powered from IOVDD. The regulator output is 1.25 V with respect to DGND. Bypass CAPD with a 1-µF capacitor  
to DGND.  
8.3.7 VCM Output Voltage  
The VCM pin provides a buffered output voltage at the mid-point of the AVDD1 – AVSS power supply. The  
VCM voltage is intended to drive the output common-mode control input of a fully differential amplifier (FDA)  
to establish the common-mode voltage for the ADC input signal. With many types of FDAs, the same common-  
mode voltage is provided when the common-mode control input of these devices are floated when using the  
same power supply. If VCM is not used, the pin can be left unconnected. The VCM output is enabled by the  
VCM bit of the CONFIG1 register.  
8.4 Device Functional Modes  
8.4.1 Power-Scalable Speed Modes  
The ADC offers two power-scalable speed modes that determine the range of conversion data rates and power  
consumed by the ADC. The modes allow optimization of signal bandwidth, data rate, and power consumption.  
High-speed mode provides maximum data rate and signal bandwidth, and low-speed mode minimizes power  
consumption for applications that do not require large signal bandwidths. The ADC clock frequency must be  
adapted to the operating mode. For high-speed mode the clock frequency is 25.6 MHz, and for low-speed mode  
the clock frequency is 3.2 MHz (see the Clock Operation section for the internal clock divider option). The speed  
mode is programmed by the SPEED_MODE bit of the CONFIG2 register.  
8.4.2 Idle Mode  
When conversions are stopped, the ADC can be programmed to remain in a full-powered idle mode or enter  
a low-power standby mode. In idle mode, the analog circuit remains fully operational, including sampling of the  
signal and voltage reference inputs. Only the digital filter is forced inactive. When conversions are restarted,  
the digital filter is reactivated to begin the conversion process. Idle mode (default) is programmed by the  
STBY_MODE bit of the CONFIG2 register.  
8.4.3 Standby Mode  
The ADC has the option of engaging the standby mode when conversions are stopped. Standby mode is an  
automatic power-down mode enabled by the STBY_MODE bit of the CONFIG2 register. Standby is entered  
and exited when conversions stop and start, respectively. During standby, sampling of the signal and reference  
voltage are stopped. When conversions are restarted, sampling of the signal and reference voltages resume.  
Exiting standby mode requires an additional 24 clock cycles to the normal conversion latency time.  
8.4.4 Power-Down Mode  
Power-down mode is engaged by setting the PWDN bit of the CONFIG2 register. In power-down mode, the  
analog and digital sections are powered off, except for a small bias current required to maintain SPI operation  
needed to exit power-down mode by clearing the register bit. The digital LDO also remains active to maintain  
user register settings. The sampling of the signal and voltage reference are stopped during power-down mode.  
Exit power-down mode by writing 0b to the PWDN bit or by resetting the device.  
8.4.5 Reset  
The ADC performs an automatic reset at power-on and can also be manually reset by the RESET pin or SPI  
operation. At reset the control logic, digital filter, and SPI restart and the user registers reset to the default  
values. See Figure 6-3 for details when the ADC is available for operation after reset.  
8.4.5.1 RESET Pin  
The RESET pin is an active low input. The ADC is reset by taking RESET low then back high. Because the  
RESET pin has an internal 20-kΩ pullup resistor, RESET can be left unconnected if not used. The RESET pin is  
a Schmitt-triggered input designed to reduce noise sensitivity. See Figure 6-3 for RESET pin timing and for the  
start of SPI communications after reset. Because the ADC performs an automatic reset at power-on, a reset is  
not required after device power-on.

8.4.5.2 Reset by SPI Register Write  
The device is reset through SPI operation by writing 01011000b to the CONTROL register. Writing any other  
value to this register does not result in reset. In 4-wire SPI mode, reset takes effect at the end of the frame at the  
time CS is taken high. In 3-wire SPI mode, reset takes effect on the last falling edge of SCLK of the register write  
operation. Reset in 3-wire SPI mode requires that the SPI is synchronized to the SPI host. If SPI synchronization  
is not assured, use the pattern described in the Reset by SPI Input Pattern section to reset the device. Reset can  
be validated by checking the POR_FLAG of the STATUS register.  
8.4.5.3 Reset by SPI Input Pattern  
The device is also reset through SPI operation by inputting a special bit pattern. The input pattern does not  
follow the input command format. There are two input patterns in which to reset the ADC. Pattern 1 consists of a  
minimum 1023 consecutive ones followed by one zero. The device resets on the falling edge of SCLK when the  
final zero is shifted in. This pattern can be used for either 3- or 4-wire SPI modes. Figure 8-23 shows a pattern 1  
reset example.

Reset pattern 2 is only for use with the 4-wire SPI mode. To reset, input a minimum of 1024 consecutive ones  
(no ending zero value), followed by taking CS high at which time reset occurs. Use pattern 2 when the devices

8.4.6 Synchronization  
Conversions are synchronized and controlled by the START pin or, optionally, through SPI operation. If  
controlling conversions through SPI operation, keep the START pin low to avoid contention with the pin. Writing  
to any register from 04h through 0Eh causes the conversion to restart, thus resulting in loss of synchronization.  
Resynchronization of the ADC may be necessary in this case.  
The ADC has three modes to synchronize and control conversions: synchronized, start/stop, and one-  
shot modes, each with specific functionalities. Program the selected mode of synchronization by the  
START_MODE[1:0] bits of the CONFIG2 register. Only the start/stop and one-shot control modes can be  
controlled through SPI operation.  
After the ADC is synchronized, the first conversion is fully settled data but incurs a delay (latency time)  
compared to the normal data period. This latency is needed to account for full settling of the digital filter. The  
latency time depends on the data rate and the filter mode (see the Digital Filter section for filter latency details).

8.4.6.1 Synchronized Control Mode  
In synchronized control mode, the ADC converts continuously regardless if START is high or low. The ADC  
is synchronized on the rising edge of START. When synchronized, the first DRDY falling edge is delayed to  
account for the filter settling time (latency time). Both a single-pulse input and a continuous-clock input can be  
applied to the START pin in this mode.  
The ADC synchronizes at the rising edge of START. If the time to the next rising edge of START is an n multiple  
of the conversion period, within a ±1 / fCLK window, the ADC does not resynchronize (n = 1, 2, 3, and so on).  
Synchronization does not occur because the ADC conversion period is already synchronized to the period of  
the START signal. If the period of the START signal is not an n multiple of the conversion period, the ADC  
resynchronizes. As a result of the propagation delay of the digital filter, a phase difference exists between the  
START signal and the DRDY output. Figure 8-25 shows synchronization to the START signal when the period of  
START pulses is not equal to an n multiple of the conversion period.

8.4.6.2 Start/Stop Control Mode  
Start/stop control mode is a gate-control mode used to start and stop conversions. Conversions are started by  
taking the START pin high or, if conversions are controlled through SPI operation, by writing 1b to the START  
bit of the CONTROL register. Preclear the CONTROL register by writing 00h before setting the START bit.  
Conversions continue until stopped by taking the START pin low, or by writing 1b to the STOP bit through SPI  
operation. DRDY is driven high at conversion start and is driven low when each conversion data are ready. If  
START is taken low or 1b is written to the STOP bit while conversions are in progress, the ongoing conversion  
finishes as normal and then stops. (See Figure 6-4 for detailed START timing).  
To restart an ongoing conversion, pulse START low to high, or write 1b to the START bit a second time. Figure  
8-26 shows the START and DRDY operation. If conversions are stopped in standby mode, DRDY returns high  
three clock cycles after falling low, otherwise DRDY remains low at which time it is forced high at the eighth  
SCLK edge during conversion data readout. If data are not read, DRDY remains low and pulses high just before  
the next DRDY falling edge.

8.4.6.3 One-Shot Control Mode  
One-shot control mode initiates a single conversion when START is taken high or, through SPI operation, when  
the START bit of the CONTROL register is set to 1b. DRDY drives high to indicate the conversion is started and  
drives low when the conversion is complete. Data are available for readback at that time.  
Taking START low, or writing 1b to the STOP bit, does not interrupt the ongoing conversion. The STOP bit has  
no effect. To restart the conversion, pulse START low to high, or write 1b to the START bit a second time. Figure  
8-27 shows the one-shot control mode operation. In standby mode, DRDY returns high three clock cycles after  
transitioning low, otherwise DRDY remains low until forced high at the next rising edge of START.

8.4.7 Conversion-Start Delay Time  
A programmable delay time is provided to delay the start of the conversion cycle after the START pin or START  
bit is asserted. This delay time allows for settling of external components, such as the voltage reference after  
exiting standby mode, or for additional settling time when switching the signal through an external multiplexer.  
After the initial delay time, subsequent conversions are not delayed. The programmed value of this delay time  
adds to the value of the conversion latency time of the digital filter. See the DELAY[2:0] bits of the CONFIG3  
register for programming details.  
8.4.8 Calibration  
The ADS127L11 provides the ability to calibrate offset and gain errors by using user-programmable offset and  
gain correction registers. As shown in Figure 8-28, the 24-bit offset correction value is subtracted from the  
conversion data before being multiplied by the 24-bit gain correction value. Output data are rounded to the final  
resolution (16- or 24-bit) and clipped to +FS and –FS code values after the scaling operation.

8.4.8.1 OFFSET2, OFFSET1, OFFSET0 Calibration Registers (Addresses 9h, Ah, Bh)  
The offset calibration value is a 24-bit value consisting of three 8-bit registers coded in 2's-complement format.  
The offset value is subtracted from the conversion data. Register 09h is the most-significant byte, register 0Ah  
is the middle byte, and register 0Bh is the least-significant byte. If the ADC is programmed to provide 16-bit  
resolution, the least-significant offset byte provides sub-LSB offset accuracy. Table 8-10 shows example offset  
calibration values.

normalized to unity gain at 400000h. Register 0Ch is the most-significant byte, register 0Dh is the middle byte,  
and register 0Eh is the least-significant byte. For example, to correct a gain error greater than 1, the calculated  
gain calibration value is less than 400000h. Table 8-11 shows example gain calibration values.

8.4.8.3 Calibration Procedure  
The recommended calibration procedure is as follows:  
1. Preset the offset and gain calibration registers to 000000h and 400000h, respectively.  
2. Perform offset calibration by shorting the ADC inputs, or short the inputs at the system level to include the  
offset error of the external amplifier stages. Acquire conversion data and write the average value of the  
data to the offset calibration registers. Averaging the data reduces conversion noise to improve calibration  
accuracy.  
3. Perform gain calibration by applying a calibration signal to the ADC input or at the system level to include the  
gain error of the external buffer stages. For the standard input range mode, choose the calibration voltage  
to be less than the full-scale input range to avoid clipping the output code. Clipped output codes result in  
inaccurate calibration. For example, use a 3.9-V calibration signal with VREF = 4.096 V. When operating in  
the extended range mode, the calibration signal can be equal to VREF without causing clipped output codes.  
Acquire conversion data and average the results. Use Equation 19 to calculate the gain calibration value.  
Gain Calibration Value = (expected output code / actual output code) · 400000h  
(19)  
For example, the expected output code of a 3.9-V calibration voltage using a 4.096-V reference voltage is:  
(3.9 V / 4.096 V) · 7FFFFFh = 79E000h.

8.5 Programming  
8.5.1 Serial Interface (SPI)  
The serial interface is used to read conversion data, configure device registers, and control ADC conversions.  
The optional CRC mode is used to validate error-free data transmission between the host and ADC. A separate  
CRC based on the register map is used to detect register map changes after the initial register data are loaded.  
The serial interface consists of four lines: CS, SCLK, SDI, and SDO/DRDY. The interface operates in the  
peripheral mode (passive) where SCLK is driven by the host. The interface is compatible to SPI mode 1 (CPOL  
= 0 and CPHA = 1). In SPI mode 1, SCLK idles low, and data are updated on SCLK rising edges and read on  
SCLK falling edges. The interface supports full-duplex operation, meaning input data and output data can be  
transmitted simultaneously. The interface also supports daisy-chain connection of multiple ADCs to simplify the  
SPI connection.  
8.5.1.1 Chip Select (CS)  
CS is an active-low input that enables the interface for communication. The communication frame is started by  
taking CS low and is ended by taking CS high. When CS is taken high, the device ends the frame by interpreting  
the last 16-bits of input data (24 bits in CRC mode) regardless of the total number of bits shifted in. When CS is  
high, the SPI interface resets, commands are blocked, and SDO/DRDY enters a high-impedance state. DRDY is  
an active output regardless of the state of CS. CS can be tied low to operate the interface in 3-wire SPI mode.  
8.5.1.2 Serial Clock (SCLK)  
SCLK is the serial clock input used to shift data into and out of the ADC. Output data are updated on the  
rising edge of SCLK and input data are latched on the falling edge of SCLK. SCLK is a Schmitt-triggered input  
designed to increase noise immunity. Even though SCLK is noise resistant, keep SCLK as noise-free as possible  
to avoid unintentional SCLK transitions. Avoid ringing and overshoot on the SCLK input. A series termination  
resistor at the SCLK driver can often reduce ringing.  
8.5.1.3 Serial Data Input (SDI)  
SDI is the serial interface data input. SDI is used to input data to the device. Input data are latched on the falling  
edge of SCLK. SDI can be idled high or low when not active.  
8.5.1.4 Serial Data Output/Data Ready (SDO/DRDY)  
SDO/DRDY is a dual-function output pin. This pin is programmable to provide output data only, or to provide  
output data and the data-ready indication. The dual-function mode multiplexes output data and data-ready  
operations on a single pin. Output data are updated on the rising edge of SCLK. The SDO/DRDY pin is  
in a high-Z state when CS is high. See the SDO/DRDY section for details of dual-function operation. The  
SDO_MODE bit of the CONFIG2 register programs the mode.  
8.5.2 SPI Frame  
Communication through the serial interface is based on the concept of frames. A frame consists of a prescribed  
number of SCLKs required to shift in or shift out data. A frame is started by taking CS low and is ended by  
taking CS high. When CS is taken high, the device interprets the last 16 bits (or 24 bits in CRC mode) of input  
data regardless of the amount of data shifted into the device. In typical use, the input frame is sized to match  
the output frame by padding the frame with leading zeros if needed. However, if not transmitting and receiving  
data in full-duplex mode, the input data frame can be the minimum size of 16 bits (or 24 bits in CRC mode).  
The output frame size, as given in Table 8-12, depends on the programmed data resolution (16 or 24 bits) and  
optional STATUS header and CRC bytes. After the ADC is powered up or reset, the default output frame size  
is 24 bits. In 3-wire SPI mode, the input frame must match the size of the output frame for the SPI to remain  
synchronized.

8.5.3 SPI CRC  
The SPI cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an SPI check code used to detect transmission errors to and from  
the host controller. A CRC byte is transmitted with the ADC input data by the host and a CRC byte is transmitted  
with the output data by the ADC. The SPI CRC error check is enabled by the SPI_CRC bit of the CONFIG4  
register.  
The CRC code is calculated by the host on the two command bytes. Any input bytes padded to the start of  
the frame are not included in the CRC calculation. The ADC checks the input command CRC code against an  
internal code calculated over the two input command bytes. If the CRC codes do not match, the command is not  
executed and the SPI_ERR bit is set in the STATUS byte. Register write operations are blocked except to the  
STATUS register to allow clearing the SPI CRC error by writing 1b to the SPI_ERR bit. Register read operations  
are not blocked unless an SPI_CRC error is detected in the immediately preceding register-read command  
frame.  
The number of bytes used to calculate the output CRC code depends on the amount of data bytes transmitted in  
the frame. All data bytes that precede the output CRC code are used in the CRC calculation. Table 8-13 shows  
the number of bytes used for the output CRC calculation.

The CRC code calculation is the 8-bit remainder of the bitwise exclusive-OR (XOR) operation of the variable  
length argument with the CRC polynomial. The CRC is based on the CRC-8-ATM (HEC) polynomial: X8 + X2  
+ X1 + 1. The nine coefficients of the polynomial are: 100000111. The CRC calculation is initialized to all 1s to  
detect errors in the event that SDI and SDO/DRDY have either failed low or failed high.  
The following procedure is used to compute the CRC code value:  
1. Left shift the initial data value by 8 bits, with eight logic 1s padded to the right, creating a new data value.  
2. Align the MSB of the CRC polynomial (100000111) to the left-most, logic 1 of the data.  
3. XOR the data value with the aligned CRC polynomial. The XOR operation creates a new, shorter-length  
value. The bits of the data values that are not in alignment with the CRC polynomial drop down and append  
to the right of the new XOR result.  
4. If the XOR result is less than 100h, the procedure ends, yielding the 8-bit CRC code result. Otherwise,  
continue with the XOR operation at step 2 using the current XOR result. The number of loop iterations  
depend on the value of the initial data.

8.5.4 Register Map CRC  
The register map CRC is used to check the register map contents for unintended changes. Write a new register  
map CRC code to the CRC register whenever the registers are changed. The CRC code is calculated over  
the 00h to 0Eh register addresses, skipping the 02h and 03h addresses (STATUS and CONTROL registers).  
The ADC continuously compares the CRC code written to the CRC register to an internal value. If the values  
do not match, the REG_ERR bit in the STATUS register is set. If set, correct the register values or update the  
CRC code then write 1b to the bit to clear the error flag. No other action is taken by the ADC in the event  
of a register map error. The register map CRC check is optional and is enabled by the REG_CRC bit of the  
CONFIG4 register.  
Read the REV_ID register of the individual ADC when calculating the CRC code because the REV_ID can  
change during device production without notice. Set the REG_CRC bit to 1 (enabled) when calculating the CRC  
code because this bit must be set to enable the CRC check. The register map CRC code computation is the  
same as the one shown in the SPI CRC section.  
8.5.5 Full-Duplex Operation  
The serial interface supports full-duplex operation. Full-duplex operation allows the simultaneous transmission  
and reception of data in one frame. For example, the register read command for the next register can be input  
at the same time that data of the previously addressed register are output, which doubles the throughput when  
reading multiple registers. An example of full-duplex operation is illustrated in Figure 8-30.  
8.5.6 Device Commands  
Commands are used to read and write register data. The register map of Table 8-16 consists of a series of  
one-byte registers, accessible by read and write operations. The minimum frame length of the input command  
sequence is two bytes (three bytes in CRC mode). If desired, the input command sequence can be padded  
with leading zeros to match the length of the output data frame. In CRC mode, the device interprets the two  
bytes immediately preceding the CRC byte at the end of the frame. Table 8-14 shows the ADS127L11 device  
commands.

There are special extended-length bit patterns that are longer than the standard command length. These  
patterns are used to reset the ADC and to reset the frame in three-wire SPI operation. The extended bit patterns  
are explained in the Reset by SPI Input Pattern and 3-Wire SPI Mode sections.  
8.5.6.1 No-Operation  
The no-operation command bytes are 00h and 00h. Use this command if no input command is desired. If the  
SPI CRC check is enabled, the CRC byte is required (byte 3), which is always D7h for bytes 00h and 00h. SDI  
can be held low during data readback, but in CRC mode the SPI_ERR flag is set, which blocks future register  
write operations. The SPI_ERR flag can be ignored while reading conversion data until the next register write  
operation. At that point, the SPI_ERR flag of the STATUS register must be manually cleared by writing 1b.

8.5.6.2 Read Register Command  
The read register command is used to read register data. The command follows an off-frame protocol in which  
the read command is sent in one frame and the ADC responds with register data in the next frame. The first byte  
of the command is the base command value (40h) added to the 4-bit register address. The value of the second  
command byte is arbitrary, but is used together with the first byte for the CRC. The response to registers outside  
the valid address range is 00h. The register data format is most-significant-bit first.  
Figure 8-29 shows an example of reading register data using the 16-bit output frame size. Frame 1 is the  
command frame and frame 2 is the data response frame. The frames are delimited by taking CS high. The  
data response frame is padded with 00h after the register data byte to fill the 16-bit frame. If desired, the data  
response frame can be shortened after the data byte by taking CS high.  
If operating in full-duplex mode (such as a simultaneous read of 24-bit conversion data during the input of the  
register read command), pad the command frame with a leading 00h value to match the length of the data  
response frame. When configuring multiple registers, full-duplex operation can be used to double the throughput  
of the read register operations by inputting the next read register command during the data response frame of  
the previous register.

Figure 8-30 shows an example of the read register operation using the maximum 40-bit frame size in full-duplex  
operation. In frame 1, conversion data are output at the same time as the input of the read register command (if  
the previous frame was not a read register command). The input command is padded with two don't care bytes  
in order to match the length of the output data frame. The padded input bytes are excluded from the CRC-IN  
code calculation. Frame 2 shows the input of the next read register command concurrent with the output of the  
previous register data. Zeros are padded after the register data to place CRC-OUT in the same location as with  
a conversion data output frame. The CRC-OUT code includes all preceding bytes within the data output frame.  
The SPI_ERR bit of the STATUS header indicates if an SPI CRC error occurred and whether the read register  
command is accepted.

8.5.6.3 Write Register Command  
The write register command is used to write register data. The write register operation is performed in a single  
frame. The first byte of the command is the base value (80h) added to the 4-bit register address. The second  
byte of the command is the register data. Writing to registers outside the valid address range is ignored.  
Figure 8-31 shows an example of a register write operation using the 16-bit frame size. If operating in full-duplex  
mode (simultaneous reading of 24-bit conversion data during the input of the register write command), include  
one or more leading pad bytes to the input data to match the length of the output frame. When configuring  
a series of registers (when conversion data can be ignored), the minimum 16-bit frame size can be used to  
improve throughput.

operation is also illustrated to show simultaneous input of the command and output of conversion data. The  
input frame is prefixed with two don't care bytes to match the output frame so all conversion data bytes are  
transmitted. Successful write operations are verified by reading back the register data, or by checking the  
SPI_ERR bit of the STATUS byte for input byte CRC errors. If an SPI CRC input error occurred, SPI_ERR is set  
and further register write operations are blocked (except for the STATUS register) until reset by writing 1b to the  
same SPI_ERR bit.

8.5.7 Read Conversion Data  
Conversion data are read by taking CS low and by applying SCLK to shift out the data directly (no command is  
used). Conversion data are buffered, which allows data to be read up to one fMOD clock cycle before the next  
DRDY falling edge. Conversion data may be read multiple times until the next conversion data are ready. If the  
register read command was sent in the previous frame then register data replaces the conversion data.

Figure 8-34. Conversion Data Read, Long Format  
Conversion data can be read asynchronous to DRDY. However, when conversion data are read close to the  
DRDY falling edge, there is uncertainty whether previous data or new data are output. If the SCLK shift operation  
starts at least one fMOD clock cycle before the DRDY falling edge, then old data are provided. If the shift  
operation starts at least one fMOD clock cycle after DRDY, then new data are output. The DRDY bit of the  
STATUS header indicates if the data are old (previously read data) or new.

8.5.7.1 Conversion Data  
Conversion data are coded in 2's-complement format, MSB first (sign bit), with resolution programmable to 24  
bits or 16 bits. The resolution is programmed by the DATA bit of the CONFIG4 register. The SNR of 16-bit data  
is limited to 98.1 dB as a result of 16-bit quantization noise. Table 8-15 shows the output code for standard and  
extended input ranges shown for 24-bit resolution. The conversion data clips to positive and negative full-scale  
code values when the input signal exceeds the respective positive and negative full-scale values.

(2) Ideal output data, excluding offset, gain, linearity, and noise errors, and reduced data resolution

8.5.7.2 Data Ready  
There are several methods available to determine when conversion data are ready for readback.  
1. Hardware: Monitor the DRDY or the SDO/DRDY pin  
2. Software: Monitor the DRDY bit of the STATUS header byte  
3. Clock count: Count the number of ADC clocks to predict when data are ready  
8.5.7.2.1 DRDY  
DRDY is the data-ready output signal. DRDY drives high when conversions are started or resynchronized, and  
drives low when conversion data are ready. DRDY is driven back high at the eighth SCLK during conversion  
data read. This behavior applies to the synchronized and the start/stop control modes. In one-shot control mode,  
DRDY stays low during conversion data read. If the ADC is programmed to enter standby mode (STBY_MODE  
bit = 1b), DRDY is driven back high three fCLK cycles after transitioning low. If conversion data are not read,  
DRDY pulses high just prior to the next falling edge. See the Synchronization section for details of DRDY  
operation for each of the conversion control modes. DRDY is an active output whether CS is high or low.  
8.5.7.2.2 SDO/DRDY  
SDO/DRDY is a dual-function output pin that can be programmed to automatically change modes from data  
ready, when not reading data, to data output mode, when reading data. This pin can replace the function of the  
DRDY pin to conserve the number of SPI I/O lines. When programmed to the dual-function mode (SDO_MODE  
bit = 1b) and when CS is low, SDO/DRDY mirrors DRDY until the first rising edge of SCLK, at which time the pin  
changes mode to provide data output. When the data read operation is complete (24th falling edge of SCLK, or  
40th edge if the CRC and STATUS header bytes are included), the pin reverts back to mirroring DRDY. Figure  
8-35 illustrates the operation of SDO/DRDY.

SDO/DRDY  
(SDO_MODE bit = 0b)  
A. In synchronized and start/stop control modes, DRDY returns high at the eighth SCLK falling edge (eighth bit of MSB data). In one-shot  
control mode, DRDY stays low until a new conversion is started.  
Figure 8-35. SDO/DRDY and DRDY Function  
8.5.7.2.3 DRDY Bit  
The software method of determining data ready is by polling the DRDY bit (bit 0 of the STATUS header). When  
DRDY = 1b, the data are new from the last data read operation, otherwise the data supplied are the previous  
data. After data are read, the bit stays cleared until the next conversion data are ready. To avoid missing data,  
poll the bit at least as often as the output data rate.  
8.5.7.2.4 Clock Counting  
Another method to determine when data are ready is to count clock cycles. This method is only possible using  
an external clock because the internal clock oscillator is not observable. After synchronization or conversion  
start, the number of clock cycles is larger compared to the normal conversion data period. The initial number of  
clock cycles is equal to the latency time of the digital filter as listed in the Digital Filter section.  
8.5.7.3 STATUS Header  
A STATUS header is an optional byte prefixed to the conversion data. See Table 8-20 for the STATUS header  
field descriptions. The STATUS header is enabled by setting the STATUS bit of the CONFIG4 register. The  
STATUS header byte sent with conversion data has the same content as the STATUS register.  
8.5.8 Daisy-Chain Operation  
In simultaneous-sampling systems using multiple ADCs, the devices can be connected in a daisy-chain string  
to reduce the number of SPI connections. A daisy-chain connection links together the SPI output of one device  
to the SPI input of the next device so the devices in the chain appear as a single logical device to the host  
controller. There is no special programming required for daisy-chain operation, simply apply additional shift  
clocks to access all devices in the chain. For simplified operation, program the same SPI frame size for each  
device (for example, when enabling the CRC option of all devices, thus producing a 32-bit frame size).

Figure 8-36 shows four devices connected in a daisy-chain configuration. The SDI of ADS127L11 (1) connects  
to the host SPI data out, and SDO/DRDY of ADS127L11 (4) connects to the host SPI data input. The shift  
operation is simultaneous for all devices in the chain. After each ADC shifts out the conversion data, the data of  
SDI appears on SDO/DRDY to drive the SDI of the next device in the chain. The shift operation continues until  
the last device in the chain is reached. The SPI frame ends when CS is taken high, at which time the data shifted  
into each device is interpreted. The SDO/DRDY pin must be programmed to data output-only mode.

To input data, the host first shifts in the data intended for the last device in the chain. The number of input bytes  
for each ADC is sized to match the output frame size. The default frame size is 24 bits, so initially each ADC  
requires three bytes by prefixing a pad byte in front of the two command bytes. The input data of ADC #4 is first,  
followed by the input data of ADC #3, and so forth.  
Figure 8-38 shows the detailed input data sequence for the daisy-chain write register operation of Figure 8-36.  
40-bit frames for each ADC are shown (24-bits of data, with the STATUS and CRC bytes enabled). Command  
operations can be different for each ADC. The read register operation requires a second frame operation to read  
out the register data.

Figure 8-39 shows the clock sequence to read conversion data from the device connection provided in Figure  
8-36. This example illustrates a 32-bit output frame (24-bits of data, with the CRC byte enabled). The output  
data of ADC (4) is first in the sequence, followed by the data of ADC (3), and so on. The total number of clocks  
required to shift out the data is given by the number of bits per frame × the number of devices in the chain. In  
this example, 32-bit output frames × four devices result in 128 total clocks.

Figure 8-39. Read Conversion Data in Daisy-Chain Connection  
As shown in Equation 20, the maximum number of devices connected in daisy-chain configuration is limited  
by the SCLK signal frequency, data rate, and number of bits per frame. The same limitation applies to parallel-  
connected SPI because the data from each ADC is also read serially.  
Maximum devices in a chain = fSCLK / (fDATA · bits per frame)⌋  
(20)  
For example, if fSCLK = 20 MHz, fDATA = 100 kSPS, and 32-bit frames are used, the maximum number of  
daisy-chain connected devices is the floor of: 20 MHz / (100 kHz · 32)= 6.  
8.5.9 3-Wire SPI Mode  
The ADC has the option of 3-wire SPI operation by grounding CS. 3-wire mode is detected by the ADC when  
CS is grounded at power up or after reset. 3-wire SPI mode is indicated by bit 7 (CS_MODE) of the STATUS  
register. The device changes to 4-wire SPI mode any time CS is taken high.  
Because CS no longer controls frame timing in 3-wire SPI mode, SCLKs are counted by the ADC to determine  
the beginning and ending of a frame. The number of SCLK bits must be controlled by the host and must match  
the size of the output frame. The number of bits per frame depends on device configuration. The size of the  
output frame is shown in Table 8-12. Because frame timing is determined by the number of SCLKs, avoid  
inadvertent SCLK transitions, such as those possibly occurring at power up.  
3-wire SPI mode supports the same command format and clocking as the 4-wire mode, except there is no CS  
toggling and therefore no wait time between frames.  
8.5.9.1 3-Wire SPI Mode Frame Reset  
In 3-wire SPI mode, an unintended SCLK can misalign the frame, resulting in loss of frame synchronization to  
the ADC. As shown in Figure 8-40, the SPI is resynchronized without requiring an ADC reset by sending an SPI  
reset pattern. The reset pattern is a minimum of 63 consecutive 1s followed by one 0 at the 64th SCLK. The 65th  
SCLK starts a new SPI frame. Optionally, the ADC can be completely reset by toggling RESET or by the reset  
pattern shown in the Reset by SPI Input Pattern section.

9 Application and Implementation  
Note  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,  
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for  
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design  
implementation to confirm system functionality.  
9.1 Application Information  
The high-performance capability of the ADS127L11 is achievable when familiar with the requirements of the  
input driver, antialias filter, reference voltage, SPI clocking, and PCB layout. The following sections provide  
design guidelines.  
9.1.1 SPI Operation  
Although the ADC provides flexible clock options for the SPI interface and the range of IOVDD voltages, the  
following guidelines are recommended to achieve full data sheet performance.  
1. Use an SCLK that is phase coherent to CLK; that is, ratios of 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and so on.  
2. Minimize phase skew between SCLK and CLK (< 5 ns).  
3. Operate IOVDD at the lowest voltage possible to reduce digital noise.  
4. If IOVDD ≥ 3.3 V, consider operating SCLK continuously over the full conversion period to spread noise  
coupling over the full conversion period.  
5. Keep the trace capacitance of SDO/DRDY ≤ 20 pF to reduce the peak currents associated with digital output  
transitions.  
9.1.2 Input Driver  
The ADC incorporates precharge buffers that reduce the settling and bandwidth requirement of the analog input  
driver. If a 10-MHz or less bandwidth driver is used, or if there is a long distance between the driver and the  
ADC inputs (such as a cable connection), enable the input precharge buffers. For higher gain-bandwidth drivers,  
the precharge buffers may be disabled to reduce power consumption, but in any case, full-rated THD and SNR  
data sheet performance is realized with the input precharge buffers active. In low-speed mode operation, the  
modulator sample rate is significantly reduced, therefore the driver has more time to settle between the input  
sampling pulses. Using a lower bandwidth input driver or disabling the precharge buffers can be practical options  
for low-speed operation.  
9.1.3 Antialias Filter  
Input signals occurring near fMOD (12.8 MHz in high-speed mode and 1.6 MHz in low-speed mode) fold back (or  
alias) to the pass band, resulting in data errors. When aliased, the frequency errors cannot be removed by post  
processing. An analog antialias filter at the ADC inputs removes the frequencies from the input signal before  
they are aliased by the ADC. The required order of the antialias filter is dependent on the selected OSR and the  
target value of signal attenuation at fMOD. A large value of OSR means more frequency range between the fDATA  
Nyquist frequency and fMOD for the filter to provide the desired roll off. For example, for OSR = 128, more than  
two decades of frequency separates fDATA and fMOD. With a corner frequency = fDATA, a third-order, 60-dB per  
decade filter provides a 120-dB alias rejection at fMOD  
.
9.1.4 Reference Voltage  
For data sheet performance, the ADC requires a reference voltage with low noise and good drive strength  
to charge the sampled reference input. Because the modulator continuously samples the reference voltage  
whether conversions are ongoing or not (except in standby and power-down modes), the reference loading is  
constant, therefore incomplete settling of the reference voltage appears as a gain error to the system. The total  
system gain error can be calibrated. A 22-μF decoupling capacitor at the reference output and 1-μF and 0.1-μF  
capacitors directly across the reference input pins filters the reference input. The ADC also incorporates an  
optional reference precharge buffer for the positive input to buffer the reference voltage.

9.1.5 Simultaneous-Sampling Systems  
When using the ADC in a multichannel system, the same design principles apply with additional considerations  
for clock routing, synchronization, shared reference voltage and SPI clocking. See the ADS127L11 in  
Simultaneous-Sampling Systems application brief for details for use in simultaneous-sampling systems.

9.2.1 Design Requirements  
Figure 9-1 shows an application of the ADS127L11 used in a precision data acquisition system. The goal of this  
design is an antialias filter at the ADC input to attenuate out-of-band signals at the modulator sample rate (fMOD).  
The requirement of the antialias filter is 90-dB attenuation at the critical fMOD frequency (12.8 MHz in high-speed  
mode) using the OSR = 32 setting in wideband filter mode. The filter is designed for a flat amplitude response  
and low group delay error within the pass band of the signal.  
Table 9-1 lists the target design values and the actual values in this design example.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
The antialias filter consists of a passive first-order input filter, an active second-order filter, and a passive  
first-order output filter. The filter is fourth-order overall. The filter design accommodates the worst-case wideband  
filter OSR value (32), which results in less than two decades of frequency range between the Nyquist frequency  
at fDATA and the fMOD frequency. The fourth-order filter provides 90-dB rolloff over this frequency range. The filter  
rolloff at fMOD is the key function of the filter.  
The THS4551 amplifier is selected for the active filter stage because of the 135-MHz gain-bandwidth product  
(GBP) and 50-ns settling time. The amplifier GBP is sufficient to maintain the filter rolloff at 12.8 MHz, even with  
the dc gain of 15 dB. For example, for applications where gain is desired, a 10-MHz amplifier has marginal GBP  
to fully support the required rolloff at the fMOD frequency. The settling time specification of the THS4551 also  
makes the device a good choice for driving the ADC sampled inputs.  
The design of the active filter section begins with an equal-R assumption to reduce the number of component  
values to select. The dc gain of the filter is R3 / (R1 + R2). 1-kΩ resistors are selected to be low enough in value  
to keep resistor noise and amplifier input current noise from affecting the noise of the ADC.  
The 1-kΩ input resistor is divided into two 499-Ω resistors (R1 and R2) to implement the first-order filter using  
C1. The first-order filter is decoupled from the second-order active filter, but shares R1 and R2 to determine each  
filter stage corner frequency. The corner frequency is given by C1 and the Thevenin resistance at the terminals  
of C1 (RTH = 2 × 250 Ω).  
Given an arbitrary selection of R4 (2 × 499 Ω in this case), the values of the 2 × 180 pF (C3) feedback capacitors  
and the single 330-pF differential capacitor (C2) are calculated by the filter design equations given in the Design  
Methodology for MFB Filters in ADC Interface Applications application note. The design inputs are filter fO and  
filter Q for the multiple-feedback active filter topology. The differential capacitor (C4) is not part of the filter  
design but is used to improve filter phase margin. The 5-Ω resistors (R5) isolate the amplifier outputs from stray  
capacitance to further improve filter phase margin.  
The final RC filter at the ADC inputs serves two purposes. First, the filter provides a fourth pole to the overall  
filter response, thereby increasing filter rolloff. The other purpose of the filter is a charge reservoir to filter the  
sampled input of the ADC. The charge reservoir reduces the instantaneous charge demand of the amplifier,  
maintaining low distortion and low gain error that otherwise can degrade because of incomplete amplifier  
settling. The input filter values are 2 × 22 Ω and 2.2 nF. The 22-Ω resistors are outside the THS4551 filter loop to  
isolate the amplifier outputs from the 2.2-nF capacitor to maintain phase margin.  
Low voltage-coefficient C0G capacitors are used everywhere in the signal path for their low distortion properties.  
The amplifier gain resistors are 0.1% tolerance to provide best possible THD performance. The ADC VCM  
output connection to the amplifier VOCM input pin is optional because the same function is provided by the  
amplifier.  
See the THS4551 data sheet for additional examples of active filter designs and application.

9.2.3 Application Curves  
The following figures are produced by the TINA-TI, SPICE-based analog simulation program. The THS4551  
SPICE model can be downloaded at the THS4551 product folder.  
Figure 9-2 shows the frequency response of the antialias filter and the total response of the antialias filter and  
ADC. As shown in this image, the filter provides 90-dB stop-band attenuation from the Nyquist frequency to the  
12.8-MHz fMOD frequency.  
Figure 9-3 shows the analog filter group delay. The 0.575-μs group delay is small in comparison to the 85-μs  
group delay of the ADC digital filter (34 / fDATA). The analog filter group delay linearity is 0.017 μs, peaking at the  
edge of the 165-kHz pass band.

Figure 9-4 shows the noise density of the antialias filter circuit, the noise density of the ADC, and the combined  
noise density of the filter and ADC. Noise density is the noise voltage per √Hz of bandwidth plotted versus  
frequency.  
Figure 9-5 shows the total noise from the 1-Hz start frequency up to the ADC final bandwidth. Below 200 Hz,  
noise is dominated by 1 / f voltage and current noise of the THS4551 amplifier. Above 200 Hz, noise is  
dominated by ADC noise. The combined noise of the filter and ADC over the 165-kHz bandwidth is 11.8 μV,  
meeting the 12-μV target value.

10 Power Supply Recommendations  
The ADC has three analog power supplies and one digital power supply. Power-supply voltages AVDD1 and  
AVSS establish the type of analog input signal range. Bipolar input signals are only possible using bipolar supply  
voltages, such as AVDD1 = 2.5 V and AVSS = –2.5 V, and only unipolar input signals are possible using unipolar  
supply voltages, such as AVDD1 = 5 V and AVSS = DGND.  
The AVDD2 power-supply voltage is with respect to AVSS and the IOVDD power-supply voltage is with respect  
to DGND. The specified range of the power supplies are listed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.  
The ADC can be operated using a single 5-V voltage for all supplies (or one 3-V voltage in low-speed mode) with  
AVSS = DGND. The ADC supply pins must always have separate bypass capacitors.  
Power-supply bypassing at the device pins is essential to achieve data sheet performance. The ADC also  
requires capacitors for the CAPA and CAPD pins, and for the analog input and reference pins. Place the  
capacitors close to the device pins using short, direct traces with the smaller capacitor value placed closest to  
the device pins.  
The recommended bypass components of the device pins are as follows:  
1. AVDD1 to AVSS:  
a. Parallel combination of 1-µF and 0.1-µF capacitors across the AVDD1 power supply and AVSS  
b. A 3-Ω resistor placed in series between the bypass capacitors and the device AVDD1 pin  
2. AVDD2 to AVSS: Parallel combination of 1-µF and 0.1-µF capacitors across the pins  
3. IOVDD to DGND: Parallel combination of 1-µF and 0.1-µF capacitors across the pins  
4. CAPA to AVSS: 1-µF capacitor placed across the pins  
5. CAPD to DGND: 1-µF capacitor placed across the pins  
6. REFP, REFN: Parallel combination of 1-µF and 0.1-µF capacitors across the pins  
7. AINP, AINN: 22-Ω resistors in series, followed by 2.2 nF across the pins, 220 pF from each pin to AVSS  
Figure 10-1 shows the component placement for the device configured for unipolar power-supply operation.

Figure 10-1. Device Bypass Recommendation  
The power supplies do not require special sequencing and can be powered up in any order, but in no case must  
any analog or digital input exceed the respective AVDD1 and AVSS (analog) or IOVDD (digital) power-supply  
voltages. An internal reset is performed after the IOVDD power-supply voltage is applied.

11 Layout  
11.1 Layout Guidelines  
To achieve data sheet performance, use a minimum four-layer PCB board with the inner layers dedicated to  
ground and power planes. Best performance is achieved by combining the analog and digital grounds on a  
single, unbroken ground plane. In some layout geometries, however, using separate analog and digital grounds  
may be necessary to help direct digital currents away from the analog ground (such as pulsing LED indicators,  
relays, and so on). In this case, consider separate ground return paths for these loads. When separate analog  
and digital grounds are used, join the grounds at the ADC.  
Use the power plane layer to route the power supplies to the ADC.  
The top and bottom layers route the analog and digital signals. Route the input signal as a matched differential  
pair throughout the signal chain to reduce differential noise coupling. Avoid crossing or adjacent placement of  
digital signals with the analog signals. This layout is especially true for high-frequency digital signals such as  
the clock input, and SPI signals, SCLK, and SDO/DRDY. The pin placement of both ADC package options  
minimizes the need to cross digital and analog signals.  
Place the voltage reference close to the ADC. Orient the reference such that the reference ground pin is close to  
the ADC REFN pin. Place the reference input bypass capacitors directly at the ADC pins. Use reference bypass  
capacitors for each ADC in multichannel systems and connect the reference ground pin to the ground plane (or  
to AVSS in some bipolar supply systems) at one point and route REFP and REFN as paired traces to each ADC.  
11.2 Layout Example  
Figure 11-1 is a layout example based on the circuit diagram of Figure 9-1. The ADC is shown in the WQFN  
package option. A four-layer PCB is used, with the inner layers dedicated as ground and power planes. Cutouts  
are used on the plane layers under the amplifier input pins to reduce stray capacitance to increase amplifier  
phase margin. Thermal vias for the ADS127L11 and THS4551 WQFN package thermal pad are not used so that  
bypass capacitors can be placed on the bottom layer underneath the devices. Place the smaller of the parallel  
supply bypass capacitors closest to the device supply pins.
