DESCRIPTION

PGA Gains: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20 V/V  
Programmable Input (Up to 4-Channel  
Differential/Up to 8-Channel Single-Ended or  
Some Combination)  
The ADS7870 (US patents 6140872, 6060874) is a  
complete low-power data acquisition system on a single  
chip. It consists of a 4-channel differential/8-channel  
single-ended multiplexer, precision programmable gain  
amplifier, 12-bit successive approximation analog-to-  
digital (A/D) converter, and a precision voltage reference.  
D
D
1.15-V, 2.048-V, or 2.5-V Internal Reference  
SPI/DSP Compatible Serial Interface  
(20 MHz)  
Throughput Rate: 52 kSamples/sec  
The programmable-gain amplifier provides high input  
impedance, excellent gain accuracy, good common-mode  
rejection, and low noise.

Error Overload Indicator  
For many low-level signals, no external amplification or  
impedance buffering is needed between the signal source  
and the A/D input.  
Programmable Output 2s Complement/Binary  
2.7-V to 5.5-V Single Supply Operation  
4-Bit Digital I/O Via Serial Interface  
Pin-Compatible With ADS7871  
SSOP-28 Package  
The offset voltage of the PGA is auto-zeroed. Gains of 1,  
2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 20 V/V allow signals as low as 125  
mV to produce full-scale digital outputs.  
The ADS7870 contains an internal reference, which is  
trimmed for high initial accuracy and stability vs  
temperature. Drift is typically 10 ppm/°C. An external  
reference can be used in situations where multiple  
ADS7870s share a common reference.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate  
precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to  
damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

The specifications for the total system are overall analog input to digital output specifications. The specifications for internal functions indicate  
the performance of the individual functions in the ADS7870.  
The ADS7870 uses switched capacitor techniques for the programmable gain amplifier and A/D converter. A characteristic of such circuits is that  
the input capacitance at any selected LNx pin changes during the conversion cycle.  
(3)  
(4)  
One channel on with its inputs grounded. All other channels off with sinewave voltage applied to their inputs.  
Ratiometricconfiguration exists when the input source is configured such that changes in the reference cause corresponding changes in the input  
voltage. The same accuracy applies when a perfect external reference is used.  
The CCLK is divided by the DF value specified by the contents of register 3, A/D Control register, bits D0 and D1 to produce DCLK. The maximum  
value of DCLK is 2.5 MHz.

SBAS124C − DECEMBER 1999 − REVISED DECEMBER 2005  
OVERVIEW  
The ADS7870 is a complete data acquisition device composed of an input analog multiplexer (MUX), a  
programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. Four lines of digital input/output  
(I/O) are also provided. Additional circuitry provides support functions including conversion clock, voltage  
reference, and serial interface for control and data retrieval.  
Control and configuration of the ADS7870 are accomplished by command bytes written to internal registers  
through the serial port. Command register device control includes MUX channel selection, PGA gain, A/D start  
conversion command, and I/O line control. Command register configuration control includes internal voltage  
reference setting and oscillator control.  
Operational modes and selected functions can be activated by digital inputs at corresponding pins. Pin settable  
configuration options include SCLK active-edge selection, master reset, and internal oscillator clock enable.  
The ADS7870 has eight analog signal input pins, LN0 through LN7. These pins are connected to a network of  
analog switches (the MUX). The inputs can be configured as 8 single-ended or 4 differential inputs, or some  
combination.  
The four general-purpose digital I/O pins (I/O3 through I/O0) can be made to function individually as either digital  
inputs or digital outputs. These pins give the user access to four digital I/O pins through the serial interface  
without having to run additional wires to the host controller.  
The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) provides gains of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 20 V/V.  
The 12-bit A/D converter in the ADS7870 is a successive approximation type. The default output of the  
converter is 2s complement format and can be read in a variety of ways depending on the program  
configuration.  
The ADS7870 internal voltage reference can be software configured for output voltages of 1.15 V, 2.048 V, or  
2.5 V. The reference circuit is trimmed for high initial accuracy and low temperature drift. A separate buffer  
amplifier is provided to buffer the high impedance VREF output.  
The voltage reference, PGA, and A/D converter use the conversion clock (CCLK) and signals derived from it.  
CCLK can be either an input or output signal. The ADS7870 can divide the CCLK signal by a constant before  
it is applied to the A/D converter and PGA. This allows a higher frequency system clock to be used to control  
the A/D converter operation. Division factors (DF) of 1, 2, 4, and 8 are available. The signal that is actually  
applied to the PGA and A/D converter is DCLK, where DCLK = CCLK/DF.  
The ADS7870 is designed so that its serial interface can be conveniently used with a wide variety of  
microcontrollers. It has four conventional serial interface pins: SCLK (serial data clock), DOUT (serial data out),  
DIN (serial data in, which may be set bidirectional in some applications), and CS (chip select function).  
The ADS7870 has ten internal user accessible registers which are used in normal operation to configure and  
control the device (summarized in Figure 15).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
Multiplexer  
The ADS7870 has eight analog signal input pins, LN0 through LN7. These pins are connected to a network of  
analog switches (the MUX block in the block diagram). The switches are controlled by four bits in the Gain/Mux  
register.  
LN0 through LN7 can be configured as 8 single-ended inputs or 4 differential inputs or some other combination.  
Some MUX combination examples are shown in Figure 20. The differential polarity of the input pins can be  
changed with the M2 bit in the MUX address. This feature allows reversing the polarity of the conversion result  
without having to physically reverse the input connections to the ADS7870.  
For linear operation, the input signal at any of the LN0 through LN7 pins can range between GND – 0.2 V and  
V
+ 0.2 V. The polarity of the differential signal can be changed through commands written to the Gain/Mux  
DD  
register, but each line must remain within the linear input common mode voltage range.  
Inputs LN0 through LN7 have ESD protection circuitry as the first active elements on the chip. These contain  
protection diodes connected to VDD and GND that remain reverse biased under normal operation. If input  
voltages are expected beyond the absolute maximum voltage range, it is necessary to add resistance in series  
with the input to limit the current to 10 mA or less.  
Conversion Clock  
The conversion clock (CCLK) and signals derived from it are used by the voltage reference, the PGA, and the  
A/D converter. The CCLK pin can be made either an input or an output. For example, one ADS7870 can be  
made to be the conversion clock master (CCLK is an output), while the others are slaved to it with their CCLK  
pins all being inputs (by default). This can reduce A/D conversion errors caused by multiple clocks and other  
systems noise.  
When the OSC ENABLE pin is low or zero, the CCLK pin is an input and the ADS7870 relies on an applied external  
clock for the conversion process. When OSC ENABLE is high or if the OSCE bit D4 in register 7 is set to a one,  
the internal oscillator and an internal buffer is enabled, making pin 19 an output. Either way the CCLK is sensed  
internally at the pin so all ADS7870s see the same clock delays. Capacitive loading on the CCLK pin can draw  
significant current compared with the supply current to the ADS7870 (I  
= f  
× V  
× C  
).  
LOAD  
CCLK  
DD  
LOAD  
The internal reference requires a continuous clock and may be supplied by the internal oscillator independently  
of the system clock driving the CCLK pin. Setting OSCR (bit D5 in register 7) and REFE (bit D3 in register 7)  
both to one accomplishes this. Figure 12 illustrates all of these relationships.  
The ADS7870 utilizes the power saving technique of turning on and off the biasing for the PGA and A/D as  
needed. This does not apply to the oscillator, reference, and buffer, these run continuously when enabled. The  
buffer output is high impedance when disabled, so for a low power data logging application the filter capacitor  
is not discharged when the buffer is turned off, and does not require as much settling time when turned on.  
The serial interface clock is independent of the conversion clock and can run faster or slower. If it is desirable  
to use a faster system clock than the 2.5-MHz nominal rate that the ADS7870 uses then this clock may be  
divided to a slower rate ( 1/2, 1/4, 1/8) by setting the appropriate bits in register 3. This clock divider applies  
equally to an external as well as internal clock to create the internal DCLK for the PGA and A/D conversion cycle.  
The ADS7870 has both maximum and minimum DCLK frequency constraints (DCLK = CCLK/DF). The  
maximum DCLK is 2.5 MHz. The minimum DCLK frequency applied to the PGA, reference, and A/D is 100 kHz.

Figure 12. Block Diagram With Internal and External Clocks and References  
Voltage Reference and Buffer Amplifier  
The ADS7870 uses a patented switched capacitor implementation of a band-gap reference. The circuit has  
curvature correction for drift and can be software configured for output voltages of 1.15 V, 2.048 V, or 2.5 V  
(default). The internal reference output (VREF) is not designed to drive a typical load; a separate buffer amplifier  
must be used to supply any load current.  
The internal reference buffer (REFBUF) can source many tens of milliamps to quickly charge a filter capacitor  
tied to its output, but it can only typically sink 200 µA. If there is any significant noise on the REFIN pin, then  
a resistor to ground (250 ) would improve the buffers ability to recover from a positive going noise spike.  
This would, of course, be at the expense of power dissipation.  
The temperature compensation of the onboard reference is adjusted with the reference buffer in the circuit.  
Performance is specified in this configuration.  
Programmable Gain Amplifier  
The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) provides gains of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 20 V/V. The PGA is a single  
supply, rail-to-rail input, auto-zeroed, capacitor based instrumentation amplifier. PGA gain is set by bits G2  
through G0 of register 4.  
The ability to detect when the PGA outputs are driven to clipping, or nonlinear operation, is provided by the least  
significant bit of the output data (register 0) being set to one. This result is the logical OR of fault detecting  
comparators within the ADS7870 monitoring the outputs of the PGA. The inputs are also monitored, for  
problems, often due to ac common mode or low supply operation and ORed to this OVL bit. Register 2 can be  
read to determine what fault conditions existed during the conversion. The OVL bit also facilitates a quick test  
to allow for an auto-ranging application, indicating to the system controller it should try reducing the PGA gain.

2s complement format and can be read through the serial interface MSB first or LSB first. A plot of output codes

SBAS124C − DECEMBER 1999 − REVISED DECEMBER 2005  
Conversion Cycle  
A conversion cycle requires 48 DCLKs, where DCLK = CCLK/DF, the divided−down clock. Operation of the  
PGA requires 36 DCLKs: capture the input signal, auto-zero the PGA, level-shift and amplify the input signal.  
The period of this cycle makes certain the settling time is sufficient for gain = 20 and (source impedance of 2  
kor less) even if the gain is less than 20. The SAR converter takes the last 12 DCLKs.  
For maximum sampling rate the input command and output data must be communicated during this cycle,  
although this is not recommended for best performance.  
During the conversion cycle the internal capacitive load at the selected MUX input changes between 6 pF and  
9.7 pF. When the ADS7870 is not converting, the MUX inputs have a nominal 4-pF load capacitance.  
The source impedance of the input causes the voltage to vary on the DCLK transitions as the internal capacitors  
are switched in and out. A 10-nF to 100-nF capacitor across the differential inputs helps filter these glitches  
and act as an antialias filter in combination with the source impedance. Source impedance greater than 2 kΩ  
requires longer settling times and so CCLK should be reduced accordingly.  
For minimum power dissipation, the bias needed for each function is turned on, allowed to settle, and run only  
for the duration required for each conversion. Low rate data logging applications can capitalize on this by  
utilizing the internal oscillator as needed rather than running a slow system clock.  
Starting an A/D Conversion Cycle  
There are four ways to cause the ADS7870 to perform a conversion:  
1. Send a direct mode instruction.  
The next conversion queues up, waiting for the  
current conversion to complete  
2. Write to register 4 with the CNV bit = 1  
3. Write to register 5 with the CNV bit = 1  
4. Assert the CONVERT pin (logic high) —  
}
A new conversion cycle starts at the second active  
edge of CCLK.  
Serial Interface  
The ADS7870 communicates with microprocessors and other external circuitry through a digital serial port  
interface. It is compatible with a wide variety of popular microcontrollers and digital signal processors (DSP).  
These include TI’s TMS320, MSC1210, and MSP430 product families. Other vendors products such as  
Motorola 68HC11, Intel 80C51, and MicroChip PIC Series are also supported.  
The serial interface consists of four primary pins, SCLK (serial bit clock), DIN (serial data input), DOUT (serial  
data output) and CS (chip select). SCLK synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being transmitted on the  
falling or rising SCLK edge as determined by the RISE/FALL pin. SDIN may also be used as a serial data output  
line.  
Additional pins expand the versatility of the basic serial interface and allow it to be used with different  
microcontrollers. The BUSY pin indicates when a conversion is in progress and may be used to generate  
interrupts for the microcontroller. The CONVERT pin can be used as a hardware-based method of causing the  
ADS7870 to start a conversion cycle. The RESET pin can be toggled in order to reset the ADS7870 to the  
power-on state.  
Communication through the serial interface is dependent on the microcontroller providing an instruction byte  
followed by either additional data (for a write operation) or just additional SCLKs to allow the ADS7870 to provide  
data (for a read operation). Special operating modes for reducing the instruction byte overhead for retrieving  
conversion results are available.  
Reset of device (RESET), start of conversion (CONVERT), and oscillator enable (OSC ENABLE) can be done  
by signals to external pins or entries to internal registers. The actual execution of each of these commands is  
a logical OR function; either pin or register signal TRUE causes the function to execute. The CONVERT pin  
signal is an edge-triggered event, with a hold time of two CCLK periods for debounce.

Operating Modes  
The ADS7870 serial interface operates based on an instruction byte followed by an action commanded by the  
contents of that instruction. The 8-bit instruction word is clocked into the DIN input. There are two types of instruction  
bytes that may be written to the ADS7870 as determined by bit D7 of the instruction word (see Figure 14). These  
two instructions represent two different operating modes. In direct mode (bit D7 = 1), a conversion is started. A  
register mode (bit D7 = 0) instruction is followed by a read or write operation to the specified register.

Direct Mode  
In direct mode a conversion is initiated by writing a single 8-bit instruction byte to the ADS7870 (bit D7 is set  
to 1). Writing the direct mode command sets the configuration of the multiplexer, selects the gain of the PGA,  
and starts a conversion cycle. After the last bit of the instruction byte is received, the ADS7870 performs a  
conversion on the selected input channel with the PGA gain set as indicated in the instruction byte.  
The conversion cycle begins on the second falling edge of DCLK after the eighth active edge of SCLK of the  
instruction byte. When the conversion is complete, the conversion result is stored in the A/D output registers  
and is available to be clocked out of the serial interface by the controlling device using the READ operation in  
the register mode.  
The structure of the instruction byte for direct mode is shown in Figure 14.

Note that the seven lower bits of this byte are written to register 4, the Gain/Mux register.  
All other controllable ADS7870 parameters are values previously stored in their respective registers. These  
values are either the power-up default values (0) or values that were previously written to one of the control  
registers in a register mode operation. No additional data is required for a direct mode instruction.  
Register Mode  
In register mode (Bit D7 of the Instruction Byte is 0) a read or write instruction to one of the ADS7870’s registers  
is initiated. All of the user determinable functions and features of the ADS7870 can be controlled by writing  
information to these registers (see Figure 15). Conversion results can be read from the A/D Output registers.

Figure 15. Register Address Map  
The instruction byte (see Figure 14) contains the address of the register for the next read/write operation,  
determines whether the serial communication is to be done in 8-bit or 16-bit word length, and determines  
whether the next operation is read-from or written-to the addressed register.  
The structure of the instruction byte for register mode is shown in Figure 14.  
D
D7: This bit is set to 0 for register mode operation.  
D
D6 (R/W): Bit 6 of the instruction byte determines whether a read or write operation is performed, 1 for  
a read or 0 for a write.  
D
D
D5 (16/8): This bit determines the word length of the read or write operation that follows, 1 for sixteen bits  
(two eight-bit bytes) or 0 for eight bits.  
D4 through D0 (A4 − A0): These bits determine the address of the register that is to be read from or written  
to. Register address coding and other information are tabulated in Figure 15.  
For sixteen-bit operations, the first eight bits is written-to/read-from the address encoded by the instruction byte,  
bits A4 through A0 (register address). The address of the next eight bits depends upon whether the register  
address for the first byte is odd or even. If it is even, then the address for the second byte is the register address  
+ 1. If the register address is odd, then the address for the second byte is the register address – 1.  
This arrangement allows transfer of conversion results from the two A/D Output Data registers either MS byte  
first or LS byte first (refer to the section Serial Interface Control Register).  
Register Summary  
A summary of information about the addressable registers is shown in Figure 15. Their descriptions follow, and  
more detailed information is provided later in the section Internal User-Accessible Registers.  
Registers 0 and 1, the A/D Output Data registers, contain the least significant and most significant bits of the  
A/D conversion result (ADC0 through ADC13). Register 0 also has three fixed zeros (D3, D2, and D1), and a  
bit to indicate if the internal voltage limits of the PGA have been over ranged (OVR). This is a read only register.  
Write an 8-bit word to register 0 and the ADS7870 resets.

Register 2, the PGA Valid register, contains information that describes the nature of the problem in the event  
that the allowable input voltage to the PGA has been exceeded.  
Register 3, the A/D Control register, has two test bits (best left set to zero), a bit to convert the output format  
to straight binary (BIN), an unused bit set to zero, two bits to configure an automatic read back mode of the A/D  
results (RBM1, RBM0), and two bits that program the frequency divider for the CCLK (CDF1, CDF0).  
Register 4, the Gain/Mux register, contains the input channel selection information (M0 through M3) and the  
programmable gain amplifier gain set bits (G0 through G2).  
Register 5, the Digital I/O State register, contains the state of each of the digital I/O pins (I/O3 through I/O0).  
In addition, registers 4 and 5 contain a convert/busy bit (CNV/BSY) that can be used to start a conversion via  
a write instruction or sense when the converter is busy with a read instruction.  
Register 6, the Digital I/O Control register, contains the information that determines whether each of the four  
digital I/O pins is to be an input or an output function (OE3 through OE0). This sets the mode of each I/O pin.  
Register 7, the Ref/Oscillator Control register, controls whether the internal oscillator used for the conversion  
clock is on or off (OSCE), whether the internal voltage reference and buffer are on or off (REFE, BUFE), and  
whether the reference provides 2.5 V, 2.048 V, or 1.15 V.  
Register 24, the Serial Interface Control register, controls whether data is presented MSB or LSB first (LSB bit),  
whether the serial interface is configured for 2-wire or 3-wire operation (2W/3W bit), and determines proper  
timing control for 8051-type microprocessor interfaces (8051 bit).  
Register 31, the ID register, is read only.  
Reset  
There are three ways to reset.  
All register contents and the serial interface are reset on:  
1. Cycle power. The power down time must be long enough to allow internal nodes to discharge.  
2. Toggle the RESET pin. Minimum pulse width to reset is 50 ns.  
3. Write an 8-bit byte to register 0. The ADS7870 does not wait for the data which would normally follow this  
instruction.  
All of these actions set all internal registers to zero, turns off the oscillator, reference, and buffer. Recovery time  
for the reference is dependent on capacitance on the reference and buffer outputs.  
Only the serial interface is reset (and disabled) when the CS signal is brought high. If CS is continuously held  
low, and the ADS7870 is reset by an 8-bit write to register 0 (even if inadvertently) then the next 1 input to DIN  
is the synchronizing bit for the serial interface. The next active edge of SCLK following this 1 latches in the first  
bit of the new instruction byte.  
For applications where CS cannot be cycled, and system synchronization is lost, the ADS7870 must be reset  
by writing 39 zeros and a one. The serial interface is then ready to accept the next command byte. This string  
length is based on the worst case conditions to ensure that the device is synchronized.  
NOTE:  
A noisy SCLK, with excessive ringing, can cause the ADS7870 to inadvertently reset. Sufficient capacitance to  
correct this problem may be provided by just a scope probe, which would mask this issue during debugging. A  
100-capacitor in series with the SCLK pin is usually sufficient to correct this problem. Since the data is changed  
on the opposite edge of SCLK, it is usually settled before the active edge of SCLK and would not need its own 100-Ω  
resistor, although it would not be detrimental.

SBAS124C − DECEMBER 1999 − REVISED DECEMBER 2005  
Write Operation  
To perform a write operation an instruction byte must first be written to the ADS7870 as described previously  
(see Figure 14). This instruction determines the target register as well as the word length (8 bits or 16 bits). The  
CS pin must be asserted (0) prior to the first active SCLK edge (rising or falling depending on the state of the  
RISE/FALL pin) that latches the first bit of the instruction byte. The first active edge after CS must have the first  
bit of the instruction byte. The remaining seven bits of the instruction byte are latched on the next seven active  
edges of SCLK. CS must remain low for the entire sequence. Setting CS high resets the serial interface.  
When starting a conversion by setting the CNV/BSY bit in the Gain/Mux register and/or the Digital I/O register,  
the conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK after the last active SCLK edge of the write operation.  
Figure 16 shows an example of an eight-bit write operation with LSB first and SCLK active on the rising edge.  
The double arrows indicate the SCLK transition when data is latched into its destination register.

SBAS124C − DECEMBER 1999 − REVISED DECEMBER 2005  
Read Operation  
A read operation is similar to a write operation except that data flow (after the instruction byte) is from the  
ADS7870 to the host controller. After the instruction byte has been latched (on the eighth active edge of SCLK),  
the DOUT pin (and the DIN pin if in two-wire mode) begins driving data on the next nonactive edge of SCLK.  
This allows the host controller to have valid data on the next active edge of SCLK.  
The data on DOUT (or DIN) transitions on the nonactive edges of SCLK. The DIN pin (two-wire mode) ceases  
driving data (return to high impedance) on the nonactive edge of SCLK following the eighth (or sixteenth) active  
edge of the read data. DOUT is only high impedance when CS is not asserted. With CS high (1), DOUT (or  
DIN) is forced to high impedance mode. In general, the ADS7870 is insensitive to the idle state of the clock  
except that the state of SCLK may determine if DIN is driving data or not.  
Upon completion of the read operation, the ADS7870 is ready to receive the next instruction byte. Read  
operations reflect the state of the ADS7870 on the first active edge of SCLK of the data byte transferred.  
Figure 18 shows an example of an eight-bit read operation with LSB first and SCLK active on the rising edge.  
The double rising arrows indicate when the instruction is latched.

Multiplexer Addressing  
The last four bits in the instruction byte (during a start conversion instruction) or the Gain/Mux register (ADDR  
= 4) assign the multiplexer configuration for the requested conversion. The input channels may be placed in  
either differential or single-ended configurations. For differential configurations, the polarity of the input signal  
is reversible by the state of M2 (Bit D2). In single-ended mode, all input channels are measured with respect  
to system ground (pin 25). Figure 20 shows some examples of multiplexer assignments and Figure 21 provides  
the coding for the input channel selection.

INTERNAL USER-ACCESSIBLE REGISTERS  
The registers in the ADS7870 are eight bits wide. Most of the registers are reserved, the ten user-accessible  
registers are summarized in the register address map (see Figure 15). Detailed information for each register  
follows. The default power-on/reset state of all bits in the registers is 0.  
ADC Output Registers  
The A/D output registers are read only registers located at ADDR = 0 and ADDR = 1 that contain the results  
of the A/D conversion, ADC11 through ADC0 (see Figure 22). The conversion result is in 2s complement  
format. The bits can be taken out of the registers MSB (D7) first or LSB (D0) first, as determined by the state  
of the LSB bits (D7 or D0) in the Serial Interface Control register. The ADDR = 0 register also contains the OVR  
bit which indicates if the internal voltage limits to the PGA have been exceeded.

Clock Divider  
CFD1 and CFD0 set the CCLK divisor constant which determines the DCLK applied to the A/D, PGA, and  
reference. The A/D and PGA operate with a maximum clock of 2.5 MHz. In situations where an external clock  
is used to pace the conversion process it may be desirable to reduce the external clock frequency before it is  
actually applied to the PGA and A/D. The signal that is actually applied to the A/D and PGA is called DCLK,  
where DCLK = CCLK/DF (DF is the division factor determined by the CFD1 and CFD0 bits). For example, if  
the external clock applied to CCLK is 10 MHz and DF = 4 (CFD1 = 1, CFD0 = 0), DCLK equals 2.5 MHz.

Bits M3 through M0 configure the switches that determine the input channel selection. The input channels may

and examples of different input configurations are shown in Figure 20.  
Convert/Busy  
If the CNV/BSY bit is set to a 1 during a write operation, a conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK  
after the active edge of SCLK that latched the data into the Gain/Mux register. The CNV/BSY bit may be read  
with a read instruction. The CNV/BSY bit is set to 1 in a read operation if the ADS7870 is performing a conversion  
at the time the register is sampled in the read operation.

Digital Input/Output State Register  
The Digital I/O State register (ADDR = 5) contains the state of each of the four digital I/O pins. Each pin can  
function as a digital input (the state of the pin is set by an external signal connected to it) or a digital output (the  
state of the pin is set by data from a serial input to the ADS7870). The input/output functional control is  
established by the digital I/O mode control bits (OE3 − OE0) in the Digital I/O Control register. In addition, the  
convert/busy bit (CNV/BSY) can be used to start a conversion via a write instruction or determine if the converter  
is busy by executing a read instruction.  
Digital I/O State Bits  
Bits D3 through D0 (I/O3 − I/O0) of the Digital I/O State register are the state bits. If the corresponding mode  
bit makes the pin a digital input, the state bit indicates whether the external signal connected to the pin is a 1  
or a 0, and it is not possible to control the state of the corresponding bit with a write operation. The state of the  
bit is only controlled by the external signal connected to the digital I/O pin. Coding is shown in Figure 26.

NOTE:  
When the mode control makes a pin a digital input, it is not possible to control the state of the corresponding bit in the Digital I/O State register  
with a write operation. The state of the bit is only controlled by the external signal connected to the digital I/O pin.  
Figure 26. Digital I/O State Register (ADDR = 5)  
The four digital I/O pins allow control of external circuitry, such as a multiplexer, or allow the digital status lines  
from other devices to be read without using any additional microcontroller pins. Reads from this register always  
reflect the state of the pin, not the state of the latch inside the ADS7870.  
Convert/Busy  
If CNV/BSY is set to a 1 during a write operation, a conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK after  
the active edge of SCLK that latched the data into the Digital I/O register. The CNV/BSY bit may be read with  
a read instruction. The CNV/BSY bit is set to 1 in a read operation if the ADS7870 is performing a conversion  
at the time the register is sampled in the read operation.

Reference/Oscillator Configuration Register  
The Reference/Oscillator Configuration register (ADDR = 7) determines whether the internal oscillator is used  
(OSCE and OSCR), whether the internal voltage reference and buffer are on or off (REFE and BUFE), and  
whether the reference is 2.5 V, 2.048 V, or 1.15 V as shown in Figure 28.

Oscillator Control  
The internal voltage reference uses a switched capacitor technique which requires a clocking signal input.  
When OSCR = 1, the clocking signal for the reference comes from the internal oscillator. When OSCR = 0, the  
clocking signal for the reference is derived from the signal on the CCLK pin and affected by the frequency divider  
controlled by the CFD0 and CFD1 bits in the A/D Control register.  
The OSCE bit is the internal oscillator enable bit. When it is set to 1, power is applied to the internal oscillator  
causing it to produce a 2.5-MHz output and causing the signal to appear at the CCLK pin. The internal oscillator  
is also enabled when the OSCR bit and the REFE bit are set to 1, but does not make CCLK an output pin.  
The internal oscillator is also enabled when the OSC ENABLE pin is set to 1. The power-up default condition  
is 0 for OSCE and OSCR. If either the OSC ENABLE pin is held high, or either of these control register bits  
are 1, then the oscillator is turned on.  
Voltage Reference and Buffer Enable  
When the REFE bit = 0 (power-up default condition), the reference is powered down and draws no current.  
When REFE is set to 1, the reference is powered up and draws approximately 190 µA of current. When the  
BUFE bit = 0 (power-up default condition), the buffer amplifier is powered down and draws no current. When  
the buffer amplifier is set to 1, it is powered up and draws approximately 150 µA of current.  
Selecting the Reference Voltage  
When the RBG bit is set to 1, the voltage on the VREF pin is 1.15 V and the R2V bit has no effect. When this  
bit is set to 0 (power-up default condition), the R2V bit determines the value of the reference voltage.  
When R2V = 0 and RBG = 0 (power-up default condition), the voltage at the VREF pin is 2.5 V. When R2V =  
1 and RBG = 0, the reference voltage is 2.048 V.  
A 12-bit bipolar input A/D converter has 4096 states and each state corresponds to 1.22 mV with the 2.5 V  
reference. With a 2.048 V reference, each A/D bit corresponds to 1 mV.

Serial Interface Control Register  
The Serial Interface Control register (ADDR = 24), see Figure 29, allows certain aspects of the serial interface  
to be controlled by the user. It controls whether data is presented MSB or LSB first and whether the serial  
interface is configured for 2-wire or 3-wire operation, and it determines proper timing control for 8051-type  
microprocessor interfaces.  
The information in this register is formatted with the information symmetric about its center. This is done so that  
it may be read or written either LSB (bit D7) or MSB (bit D0) first. Each control bit has two locations in the register.  
If either of the two is set, the function is activated. This arrangement can potentially simplify microcontroller  
communication code.  
The instruction byte to write this configuration data to Register 24 is itself symmetric. From Figure 14, a register  
mode write instruction of 8 bits to address 24 is 0001 1000 in binary form. Therefore, this command to write  
to this register is valid under all conditions.

The LSB bit determines whether the serial interface receives and transmits either LSB or MSB first. Setting the  
LSB bit (1) configures the interface to expect all bytes LSB first as opposed to the default MSB first (LSB = 0).  
2-Wire or 3-Wire Operation  
The 2W/3W bit configures the ADS7870 for 2-wire or 3-wire mode. In two-wire mode (2W/3W = 1), the DIN pin  
is enabled as an output during the data output portion of a read instruction. The DIN pin accepts data when the  
ADS7870 is receiving and it outputs data when the ADS7870 is transmitting. When data is being sent out of  
the DIN pin, it also appears on the DOUT pin as well. In three-wire mode (2W/3W = 0), data to the ADS7870  
is received on the DIN pin and is transmitted on the DOUT pin. The power-up default condition is three-wire  
mode.

SBAS124C − DECEMBER 1999 − REVISED DECEMBER 2005  
Serial Interface Timing (8051 Bit)  
The 8051 bit changes the timing of when the DIN pin goes to high impedance at the end of an operation. When  
the bit is a 1, the pin goes to high impedance on the last active SCLK edge of the last byte of data transfer instead  
of waiting for the next inactive edge, or CS to go inactive. This allows the ADS7870 to disconnect from the data  
lines soon enough to avoid contention with an 80C51-type interface. The 80C51 drives data four CPU cycles before  
an inactive SCLK edge and for two CPU cycles after an active SCLK edge. When the 8051 bit is a 0, the DIN pin  
goes high impedance on the next inactive SCLK edge or when CS goes inactive (1).  
Figure 30 and Figure 31 show the timing of when the ADS7870 sets the DIN pin to high impedance at the end  
of a read operation when the 2W/3W bit is set. The behavior of DOUT does not depend of the state of 2W/3W.  
The 8051 bit is not set for these two examples.

Figure 32 shows the timing for entering the high impedance state when the 8051 bit is set. Notice that on the  
last bit of the read operation the DIN (and DOUT) pin goes to the high impedance state on the active edge of  
SCLK instead of waiting for the inactive edge of SCLK or CS going high as shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31.  
This is for compatibility with 80C51 mode 0 type serial interfaces. An 80C51 forces DIN valid before the SCLK  
falling edge and holds it valid until after the SCLK rising edge. This can lead to contention but setting the 8051  
bit fixes this potential problem without requiring CS to be toggled high after every read operation.

STARTING A CONVERSION THROUGH THE SERIAL INTERFACE  
There are two methods of starting a conversion cycle through the serial interface. The first (nonaddressed or  
direct mode) is by using the start conversion byte as described earlier. The second (addressed mode) is by  
setting the CNV/BSY bit of register 4 or register 5 by performing a write instruction.  
The conversion starts on the second falling edge of DCLK after the eighth active edge of SCLK (for the  
instruction in nonaddressed mode or the data in addressed mode). The BUSY pin goes active (1) one DCLK  
period (1, 2, 4, or 8 CCLK periods depending on CFD1 and CFD0) after the start of a conversion. This delay  
is to allow BUSY to go inactive when conversions are queued to follow in immediate succession. BUSY goes  
inactive at the end of the conversion.  
If a conversion is already in progress when the CNV/BSY bit is set on the eighth active SCLK edge, the  
CNV/BSY bit is placed in the queue and the current conversion is allowed to finish. If a conversion is already  
queued, the new one replaces the currently queued conversion. The queue is only one conversion long.  
Immediately upon completion of the current conversion, the next conversion starts. This allows for maximum  
throughput through the A/D converter. Since BUSY is defined to be inactive for the first DCLK clock period of  
the conversion, the inactive (falling) edge of BUSY can be used to mark the end of a conversion (and start of  
the next conversion).  
Figure 34 shows the timing of a conversion start using the convert start instruction byte. The double rising arrow  
on SCLK indicates when the instruction is latched. The double falling arrow on CCLK indicates where the  
conversion cycle actually starts (second falling edge of CCLK after the eighth active edge of SCLK). This  
example is for LSB first, CCLK divider = 1, and SCLK active on rising edge. Notice that BUSY goes active one  
CCLK period later since CCLK divider = 1.

STARTING A CONVERSION USING THE CONVERT PIN  
A conversion can also be started by an active (rising) edge on the CONVERT pin. Similar to the CNV/BSY  
register bit, the conversion starts on the second falling edge of CCLK after the CONVERT rising edge.  
The CONVERT pin must stay high for at least two CCLK periods. CONVERT must also be low for at least two  
CCLK periods before going high. BUSY goes active one DCLK period after the start of the conversion.  
Contrary to the CNV/BSY bit in the register, the CONVERT pin aborts any conversion in process and  
restarts a new conversion. BUSY goes low at the end of the conversion. CS may be either high or low when  
the CONVERT pin starts a conversion.  
Figure 37 shows the timing of a conversion start using the CONVERT pin. The double falling arrow on CCLK  
indicates when the conversion cycle actually starts (the second active CCLK edge after CONVERT goes  
active). This example is for CCLK divider = 4. Notice that BUSY goes active four CCLK periods later.

READ BACK MODES  
There are four modes available to read the A/D conversion result from the A/D Output registers. The RBM1 and  
RBM0 bits in the A/D Control register (ADDR = 3) control which mode is used by the ADS7870.  
Read Back Mode 0 (default mode) requires a separate read instruction to retrieve the conversion result  
Read Back Mode 1 (automatic) provides the output most significant byte first  
Read Back Mode 2 (automatic) provides the output least significant byte first  
Read Back Mode 3 (automatic) provides only the most significant byte  
Mode 3 does not short cycle the A/D. Automatic read back mode is only triggered when starting a conversion  
using the serial interface. Conversions started using the CONVERT pin do not trigger the read back mode.  
The first bit of data for an automatic read back is loaded on the first active SCLK edge of the read portion of  
instruction. The remaining bits are loaded on the next inactive SCLK edge (the first one after the first active  
edge). To avoid getting one bit from one conversion and the remainder of the byte from another conversion,  
a conversion should not finish between the first active SCLK edge and the next inactive edge.  
Mode 0  
Mode 0 (default operating mode) requires a read instruction to be performed to retrieve a conversion result.  
MS byte first format is achieved by performing a sixteen bit read from ADDR = 1. LS byte first format is achieved  
by performing a sixteen bit read from ADDR = 0. Reading only the most significant byte can be achieved by  
performing an eight bit read from ADDR = 1.  
To increase throughput it is possible to read the result of a conversion while a conversion is in progress. The  
last conversion completed prior to the first active SCLK edge of the conversion data word (not the instruction  
byte) is retrieved. This overlapping allows a sequence of start conversion N, read conversion N – 1, start  
conversion N +1, read conversion N, etc. For conversion 0, the result of conversion –1 would need to be  
discarded.

SBAS124C − DECEMBER 1999 − REVISED DECEMBER 2005  
Mode 1  
In this mode, the serial interface configures itself to clockout a conversion result as soon as a conversion is  
started. This is useful since a read instruction is not required so eight SCLK cycles are saved. This mode  
operates like an implied sixteen bit read instruction byte for ADDR = 1 was sent to the ADS7870 after starting  
the conversion.  
It is not necessary to wait for the end of the conversion to start clocking out conversion results. The last  
completed conversion at the sampling edge of SCLK is read back (whether a conversion is in progress or not).  
Mode 2  
This mode is similar to Mode 1 except that the conversion result is provided LS byte first (equivalent to a sixteen  
bit read from ADDR = 0).  
Figure 38 and Figure 39 show timing examples of an automatic read back operation using mode 2. In Figure 38,  
the result of the previous conversion is retrieved. This example is for LSB first, CCLK divider = 2, and SCLK  
active on the rising edge. The data may be read back immediately after the start conversion instruction. It is  
not necessary to wait for the conversion to actually start (or finish).

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
REQUIRED SUPPORT ELEMENTS  
As with any precision analog integrated circuit, good power supply bypassing is required. A low ESR ceramic  
capacitor in parallel with a large value electrolytic capacitor across the supply line furnishes the required  
performance. Typical values are 0.1 µF and 10 µF respectively. Noise performance of the internal voltage  
reference circuit is improved if a ceramic capacitor of approximately 0.01 µF is connected from VREF to ground.  
Increasing the value of this capacitor may bring slight improvement in the noise on VREF but increases the time  
required to stabilize after turn on.  
If the internal buffer amplifier is used, it must have an output filter capacitor connected to ground to ensure  
stability. A nominal value of 0.47 µF provides the best performance. Any value between 0.1 µF and 10 µF is  
acceptable. In installations where one ADS7870 buffer is used to drive several devices, an additional filter  
capacitor of 0.1 µF should be installed at each of the slave devices.  
The circuit in Figure 40 shows a typical installation with all control functions under control of the host embedded  
controller. The SCLK is active on the falling edge. If the internal voltage reference and oscillator are used, they  
must be turned on by setting the corresponding control bits in the device registers. These registers must be  
set on power up and after any reset operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
MICROCONTROLLER CONNECTIONS  
The ADS7870 is quite flexible in interfacing to various microcontrollers. Connections using the hardware mode  
of two types of controllers (Motorola M68HC11, Intel 80C51) are described below.  
Motorola M68HC11 (SPI)  
The Motorola M68HC11 has a three-wire (four if you count the slave select) serial interface that is commonly  
referred to as SPI (serial peripheral interface), where the data is transmitted MSB first. This interface is usually  
described as the microcontroller and the peripheral each having two 8-bit shift registers (one for receiving and  
one for transmitting).  
The transmit shift register of the microcontroller and the receive shift register of the peripheral are connected  
together and vice versa. SCK controls the shift registers. SPI is capable of full duplex operation (simultaneous  
read and write). The ADS7870 does not support full duplex operation. The ADS7870 can only be written to  
or read from. It cannot do both simultaneously.  
Since the M68HC11 can configure SCK to have either rising or falling edge active, the RISE/FALL pin on the  
ADS7870 can be in whichever state is appropriate for the desired mode of operation of the M68HC11 for  
compatibility with other peripherals.  
In the Interface Control register (see Figure 29), the 2W/3W bit should be cleared (default). The LSB bit should  
be clear (default). The 8051 bit should also be clear (default). Since the ADS7870 defaults to SPI mode, the  
M68HC11 should not need to initialize the ADS7870 Interface Configuration register after power-on or reset.  
Figure 41 shows a typical physical connection between an M68HC11 and a ADS7870. A pull-up resister on  
DOUT may be needed to keep DOUT from floating during write operations. CS may be permanently tied low  
if desired, but then the ADS7870 must be the only peripheral.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
Intel 80C51  
The Intel 80C51 operated in serial port mode 0 has a two-wire (three-wire if an additional I/O pin is used for CS)  
serial interface. The TXD pin provides the clock for the serial interface and RXD serves as the data input and  
output. The data is transferred LSB first. Best compatibility is achieved by connecting the RISE/FALL pin of the  
ADS7870 high (rising edge of SCLK active). In the Interface Configuration register, the LSB bit and the 8051  
bit should be set. The 2W/3W bit should also be set. The first instruction after power-on or reset should  
be a write operation to the Interface Configuration register.  
Figure 42 shows a typical physical connection between an 80C51 and an ADS7870. CS may be permanently  
tied low if desired, but then the ADS7870 must be the only peripheral.

http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.  
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.  
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements  
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered  
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.  
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and  
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS  
compatible) as defined above.  
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame  
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
