GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
PD  
AVDD  
RESET  
The AD15700 is a precision component to interface analog input  
and output channels to a digital processor. It is ideal for area-  
limited applications that require maximum circuit density. The  
AD15700 contains the functionality of a 16-bit, 1 MSPS charge  
redistribution SAR analog-to-digital converter that operates from  
a 5 V power supply. The high speed 16-bit sampling ADC incor-  
porates a resistor input scaler that allows various input ranges, an  
internal conversion clock, error correction circuits, and both serial  
and parallel system interface ports. The AD15700 also contains a  
14-bit, serial input, voltage output DAC that operates from a 5 V  
supply and has a settling time of 1 ms. Two single- or split-supply  
voltage feedback amplifiers with rail-to-rail input and output  
characteristics featuring 80 MHz of small signal bandwidth and  
10 mV/C offset drift provide ADC and DAC buffering capability.  
The center tapped 3 kW resistors are precision resistor networks  
with 2 ppm/C ratio tracking that provide low gain drift when  
used for scaling.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
1. Fast Throughput ADC.  
The AD15700 incorporates a high speed, 1 MSPS, 16-bit  
SAR ADC.  
2. Superior ADC INL.  
The 16-bit ADC has a maximum integral nonlineariy of  
2.5 LSB with no missing codes.  
3. Two Precision Resistor Networks with 2 ppm/C Ratio  
Tracking for Gain Setting.  
4. Low Power Consumption.  
The ADC, DAC, and amp functions are electrically isolated from  
each other to provide maximum design flexibility. Input and  
output signal conditioning circuits for the converters can be easily  
configured with short interconnects under the device at the board  
level. The AD15700 is available in a 10 mm CSPBGA package.  
Typically 132 mW at maximum performance levels.  
5. Industrial Temperature Range: –40C to +85C.

The ADC provides the conversion result, MSB first, from its internal shift register.  
The DATA format is determined by the logic level of OB/2C. In Serial Mode, when  
EXT/INT is LOW, SDOUT is valid on both edges of SCLK. In Serial Mode, when  
EXT/INT is HIGH: If INVSCLK is LOW, SDOUT is updated on SCLK rising edge  
and valid on the next falling edge. If INVSCLK is HIGH, SDOUT is updated on  
SCLK falling edge and valid on the next rising edge.

ADC DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS  
DAC DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS  
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)  
Relative Accuracy  
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code  
from a line drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive  
full scale.” The point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB  
before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a  
level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is  
measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line.  
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL)  
is a measure of the maximum deviation in LSBs from a straight  
line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function.  
A typical INL versus code plot can be seen in TPC 16.  
Differential Nonlinearity  
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured  
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent  
codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB maximum  
ensures monotonicity. TPC 19 illustrates a typical DNL versus  
code plot.  
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)  
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential  
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value.  
It is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing  
codes are guaranteed.  
Gain Error  
Full-Scale Error  
Gain error is the difference between the actual and ideal analog  
output range, expressed as a percent of the full-scale range. It is  
the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from ideal.  
The last transition (from 011...10 to 011...11 in twos comple-  
ment coding) should occur for an analog voltage 1 1/2 LSB  
below the nominal full scale (2.499886 V for the ±2.5 V range).  
The full-scale error is the deviation of the actual level of the last  
transition from the ideal level.  
Gain Error Temperature Coefficient  
This is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in  
temperature. It is expressed in ppm/C.  
Bipolar Zero Error  
The difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (0 V)  
and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code.  
Zero Code Error  
Zero code error is a measure of the output error when zero code  
is loaded to the DAC register.  
Unipolar Zero Error  
Zero Code Temperature Coefficient  
This is a measure of the change in zero code error with a change  
in temperature. It is expressed in mV/C.  
In unipolar mode, the first transition should occur at a level  
1/2 LSB above analog ground. The unipolar zero error is the  
deviation of the actual transition from that point.  
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse  
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)  
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of  
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.  
Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the  
analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes  
state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch in nV–s  
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB  
at the major carry transition. A plot of the glitch impulse is shown  
in Figure 28.  
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)  
A measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is  
related to S/(N + D) by the following formula:  
Digital Feedthrough  
ENOB = S / N + D  
– 1.76 / 6.02  
[
]
(
(
)
)
dB  
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into the  
analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the DAC, but  
is measured when the DAC output is not updated. CS_DAC is  
held high, while the CLK and DIN signals are toggled. It is  
specified in nV–s and is measured with a full-scale code change  
on the data bus, i.e., from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa. A typical  
plot of digital feedthrough is shown in Figure 27.  
and is expressed in bits.  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
The rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms  
value of a full-scale input signal; expressed in decibels.  
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  
The ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms  
sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency,  
excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is expressed in  
decibels.  
Power Supply Rejection Ratio  
This specification indicates how the output of the DAC is affected  
by changes in the power supply voltage. Power supply rejection  
ratio is quoted in terms of percent change in output per percent  
change in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. VDD is varied  
by ±10%.  
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion)  
Ratio (S/[N + D])  
The ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms  
sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency,  
including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for S/(N + D)  
is expressed in decibels.  
Reference Feedthrough  
This is a measure of the feedthrough from the VREF input to the  
DAC output when the DAC is loaded with all 0s. A 100 kHz,  
1 V p-p is applied to VREF. Reference feedthrough is expressed  
in mV p-p.  
Aperture Delay  
A measure of the acquisition performance, measured from the  
falling edge of the CNVST input to when the input signal is  
held for a conversion.  
Transient Response  
The time required for the ADC to achieve its rated accuracy  
after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.

Processor Interface  
Made up of a buffer amplifier, an RC filter, and an ADC, the  
analog input circuit allows measurement of voltages ranging from  
0.2 V to 2 REF V. When placed in the 0 V to REF input range,  
the circuit has the configuration shown in Figure 5a.  
The circuit in Figure 5a uses serial interfacing to minimize the  
number of signals that connect to the digital circuits. External  
logic such as a state machine is used to generate clocks and other  
timing signals for the interface. Ideally, the clocks supplied to the  
converters are discontinuous and operate at the maximum frequency  
supported by the converter and the processor. Discontinuous  
clocks that are quiet during critical times minimize degradation  
caused by voltage transients on the digital interface. It is best to  
keep the clocks quiet during ADC conversion and when the DAC  
output is sampled by the external system. Often, the processor  
cannot tolerate a discontinuous clock and therefore a separate  
continuous clock (or clocks) that is synchronous with the converter  
clocks must be generated. Separate clocks for the DAC and ADC  
are used to maximize the data transfer rate to each converter.  
The ADC operates at a maximum rate of 40 MHz while the DAC  
can operate up to 25 MHz.

The ADC is a fast, low power, single-supply precise 16-bit analog-  
to-digital converter (ADC). It features different modes to optimize  
performances according to the applications.  
With C2 set to 100 pF, the bandwidth is 1.2 MHz. Without C2,  
the bandwidth of the filter is 2.6 MHz. To utilize the ADC’s  
maximum 9.6 MHz bandwidth, the components external to the  
ADC are eliminated. In this case, the ADC is configured for its  
0 to 2 REF input range and the resulting equivalent input circuit  
is shown in Figure 5b.  
In warp mode, it is capable of converting 1,000,000 samples per  
second (1 MSPS).  
The ADC provides the user with an on-chip track/hold, successive  
approximation ADC that does not exhibit any pipeline or latency,  
making it ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.

Analog Output Section  
ADC CONVERTER OPERATION  
The ADC is a successive approximation analog-to-digital con-  
verter based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 7 shows the  
simplified schematic of the ADC. The input analog signal is first  
scaled down and level-shifted by the internal input resistive scaler,  
which allows both unipolar ranges (0 V to 2.5 V, 0 V to 5 V, and  
0 to 10 V) and bipolar ranges (±2.5 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V). The  
output voltage range of the resistive scaler is always 0 V to 2.5 V.  
The capacitive DAC consists of an array of 16 binary weighted  
capacitors and an additional LSB capacitor. The comparator’s  
negative input is connected to a “dummy” capacitor of the same  
value as the capacitive DAC array.  
The output circuitry consists of a DAC, RC filter, and an amplifier.  
The circuit uses the DAC’s output resistance of 6.25 kW ± 20%  
to form a single-pole RC filter with an external capacitor C1. One  
of the AD15700’s internal center-tapped resistors and one of its  
op amps form an amplifier with a gain of two. The gain is used to  
bring the DAC’s maximum range of REF volts up to 2 REF V.

During the acquisition phase, the common terminal of the array  
tied to the comparator’s positive input is connected to AGND  
via SWA. All independent switches are connected to the output  
of the resistive scaler. Thus, the capacitor array is used as a  
sampling capacitor and acquires the analog signal. Similarly, the  
dummy capacitor acquires the analog signal on INGND input.  
Figure 6. Analog Output Circuit  
Voltage Reference Input  
The AD15700 uses an external 2.5 V or 3.0 V voltage reference.  
Because of the dynamic input impedance of the A/D and the  
code dependent impedance of the D/A, the reference inputs must  
be driven by a low impedance source. Decoupling consisting of a  
parallel combination of 47 mF and 0.1 mF capacitors is recom-  
mended. Suitable references include the ADR421 for 2.5 V output  
and the AD780 for selectable 2.5 V or 3.0 V output. Both of these  
feature low noise and low temperature drift.  
When the acquisition phase is complete, and the CNVST input  
goes or is low, a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion  
phase begins, SWA and SWB are opened first. The capacitor  
array and the dummy capacitor are then disconnected from the  
inputs and connected to the REFGND input. Therefore, the differ-  
ential voltage between the output of the resistive scaler and INGND  
captured at the end of the acquisition phase is applied to the  
comparator inputs, causing the comparator to become unbalanced.

in this mode is 666 kSPS. When operating at 100 SPS, for  
example, it typically consumes only 15 mW. This feature makes  
the ADC ideal for battery-powered applications.  
By switching each element of the capacitor array between REFGND  
or REF, the comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage  
steps (VREF/2, VREF/4. . .VREF/65536). The control logic  
toggles these switches, starting with the MSB first, in order to  
bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After the  
completion of this process, the control logic generates the ADC  
output code and brings BUSY output low.  
Transfer Functions  
Using the OB/2C digital input, the ADC offers two output  
codings: straight binary and twos complement. The ideal transfer  
characteristic for the ADC is shown in Figure 8 and Table III.  
Modes of Operation  
The ADC features three modes of operation: warp, normal,  
and impulse. Each of these modes is more suitable for specific  
applications.  
111...111  
111...110  
111...101  
The warp mode allows the fastest conversion rate up to  
1
MSPS. However, in this mode and this mode only, the full  
specified accuracy is guaranteed only when the time between  
conversion does not exceed 1 ms. If the time between two con-  
secutive conversions is longer than 1 ms, for instance, after  
power-up, the first conversion result should be ignored. This  
mode makes the ADC ideal for applications where both high  
accuracy and fast sample rate are required.  
000...010  
000...001  
The normal mode is the fastest mode (800 kSPS) without any  
limitation about the time between conversions. This mode makes  
the ADC ideal for asynchronous applications such as data  
acquisition systems, where both high accuracy and fast sample  
rate are required.

Analog Inputs  
The capacitor CS is typically 60 pF and is mainly the ADC  
sampling capacitor. This one-pole filter with a typical –3 dB  
cutoff frequency of 9.6 MHz reduces undesirable aliasing effects  
and limits the noise coming from the inputs.  
The ADC is specified to operate with six full-scale analog input  
ranges. Connections required for each of the four analog inputs,  
IND, INC, INB, INA, and the resulting full-scale ranges are  
shown in Table I. The typical input impedance for each analog  
input range is also shown.

Figure 10. Analog Input CMRR vs. Frequency  
Except when using the 0 V to 2.5 V analog input voltage range,  
the ADC has to be driven by a very low impedance source to  
avoid gain errors. That can be done by using the driver amplifier.  
Figure 9. Simplified Analog Input  
The four resistors connected to the four analog inputs form a  
resistive scaler that scales down and shifts the analog input range  
to a common input range of 0 V to 2.5 V at the input of the  
switched capacitive ADC.  
When using the 0 V to 2.5 V analog input voltage range, the  
input impedance of the ADC is very high so the ADC can be  
driven directly by a low impedance source without gain error.  
That allows putting an external one-pole RC filter between the  
output of the amplifier output and the ADC analog inputs to  
even further improve the noise filtering done by the ADC analog  
input circuit. However, the source impedance has to be kept low  
because it affects the ac performances, especially the total harmonic  
distortion (THD). The maximum source impedance depends on  
the amount of total THD that can be tolerated. The THD degra-  
dation is a function of the source impedance and the maximum  
input frequency, as shown in Figure 11.  
By connecting the four inputs INA, INB, INC, and IND to the  
input signal itself, the ground, or a 2.5 V reference, other analog  
input ranges can be obtained.  
The diodes shown in Figure 9 provide ESD protection for the  
four analog inputs. The inputs INB, INC, and IND, have a high  
voltage protection (–11 V to +30 V) to allow wide input voltage  
range. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal  
never exceeds the absolute ratings on these inputs including  
INA (0 V to 5 V). This will cause these diodes to become for-  
ward-biased and start conducting current. These diodes can  
handle a forward-biased current of 120 mA maximum. For  
instance, when using the 0 V to 2.5 V input range, these condi-  
tions could eventually occur on the input INA when the input  
buffer’s (U1) supplies are different from AVDD. In such case,  
an input buffer with a short circuit current limitation can be  
used to protect the part.

This analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential  
signal between the output of the resistive scaler and INGND.  
Unlike other converters, the INGND input is sampled at the same  
time as the inputs. By using this differential input, small signals  
common to both inputs are rejected as shown in Figure 10, which  
represents the typical CMRR over frequency. For instance, by  
using INGND to sense a remote signal ground, differences of  
ground potentials between the sensor and the local ADC ground  
are eliminated. During the acquisition phase for ac signals, the  
ADC behaves like a one-pole RC filter consisting of the equivalent  
resistance of the resistive scaler R/2 in series with R1 and CS. The  
resistor R1 is typically 100 W and is a lumped component made  
up of some serial resistor and the on resistance of the switches.

Driver Amplifier Choice  
Although the ADC is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs to  
meet at least the following requirements:  
Care should also be taken with the reference temperature coefficient  
of the voltage reference, which directly affects the full-scale  
accuracy if this parameter matters. For instance, a ±15 ppm/C  
tempco of the reference changes the full scale by ±1 LSB/C.  
The driver amplifier and the ADC analog input circuit  
must be able, together, to settle for a full-scale step of the  
capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%).  
Scaler Reference Input (Bipolar Input Ranges)  
When using the ADC with bipolar input ranges, a buffer amplifier  
is required to isolate the REFIN pin from the signal dependent  
current in the AIN pin. A high speed op amp can be used with a  
single 5 V power supply without degrading the performance of  
the ADC. The buffer must have good settling characteristics and  
provide low total noise within the input bandwidth of the ADC.  
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept  
as low as possible in order to preserve the SNR and transition  
noise performance of the ADC. The noise coming from the  
driver is first scaled down by the resistive scaler according  
to the analog input voltage range used, and is then filtered  
by the ADC analog input circuit one-pole, low-pass filter  
made by (R/2 + R1) and CS. The SNR degradation due to  
the amplifier is:  
Power Supply  
The ADC uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog 5 V  
supply AVDD, a digital 5 V core supply DVDD, and a digital  
input/output interface supply OVDD. The OVDD supply allows  
direct interface with any logic working between 2.7 V and 5.25 V.  
To reduce the number of supplies needed, the digital core (DVDD)  
can be supplied through a simple RC filter from the analog  
supply. The ADC is independent of power supply sequencing and  
thus free from supply voltage induced latchup. Additionally, it is  
very insensitive to power supply variations over a wide frequency  
range, as shown in Figure 12.

POWER DISSIPATION  
Voltage Reference Input  
In impulse mode, the ADC automatically reduces its power  
consumption at the end of each conversion phase. During the  
acquisition phase, the operating currents are very low, which  
allows a significant power savings when the conversion rate is  
reduced, as shown in Figure 13. This feature makes the ADC  
ideal for very low power battery applications.  
The ADC uses an external 2.5 V voltage reference. The voltage  
reference input REF of the ADC has a dynamic input impedance.  
Therefore, it should be driven by a low impedance source with  
an efficient decoupling between REF and REFGND inputs. This  
decoupling depends on the choice of the voltage reference, but  
usually consists of a low ESR tantalum capacitor connected to the  
REF and REFGND inputs with minimum parasitic inductance.  
47 mF is an appropriate value for the tantalum capacitor when  
used with one of the recommended reference voltages:  
This does not take into account the power, if any, dissipated by  
the input resistive scaler, which depends on the input voltage  
range used and the analog input voltage even in power-down  
mode. There is no power dissipated when the 0 V to 2.5 V is  
used or when both the analog input voltage is 0 V and a unipolar

It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even  
during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital  
supply currents even further, the digital inputs need to be driven  
close to the power rails (i.e., DVDD and DGND) and OVDD  
should not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V.

For applications where the SNR is critical, CNVST signal should  
have a very low jitter. One way to achieve that is to use a dedicated  
oscillator for CNVST generation, or at least to clock it with a

CONVERSION CONTROL  
CNVST  
Figure 14 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion  
process. The ADC is controlled by the signal CNVST, which  
initiates conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or  
aborted, even by the power-down input PD, until the conver-  
sion is complete. The CNVST signal operates independently of  
CS_ADC and RD signals.  
Figure 15. RESET Timing  
DIGITAL INTERFACE  
The ADC has a versatile digital interface; it can be interfaced with  
the host system by using either a serial or parallel interface. The  
serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The ADC  
digital interface also accommodates both 3 V or 5 V logic by simply  
connecting the OVDD supply pin of the ADC to the host system  
interface digital supply. Finally, by using the OB/2C input pin,  
both straight binary or twos complement coding can be used.

CNVST  
The two signals, CS_ADC and RD, control the interface. When  
at least one of these signals is high, the interface outputs are in  
high impedance. Usually, CS_ADC allows the selection of each  
ADC in multicircuit applications and is held low in a single  
ADC design. RD is generally used to enable the conversion  
result on the data bus.

In impulse mode, conversions can be automatically initiated.  
If CNVST is held low when BUSY is low, the ADC controls the  
acquisition phase and then automatically initiates a new conversion.  
By keeping CNVST low, the ADC keeps the conversion process  
running by itself. It should be noted that the analog input has to  
be settled when BUSY goes low. Also, at power-up, CNVST  
should be brought low once to initiate the conversion process.  
In this mode, the ADC could sometimes run slightly faster than  
the guaranteed limits in the impulse mode of 666 kSPS. This  
feature does not exist in warp or normal modes.

Although CNVST is a digital signal, it should be designed with  
special care with fast, clean edges, and levels with minimum  
overshoot and undershoot or ringing. It is a good thing to shield  
the CNVST trace with ground and also to add a low value serial  
resistor (i.e., 50 W) termination close to the output of the com-  
ponent that drives this line.

PARALLEL INTERFACE  
The ADC is configured to use the parallel interface when the  
SER/PAR is held low. The data can be read either after each  
conversion, which is during the next acquisition phase, or during  
the following conversion as shown, respectively, in Figures 18  
and 19. When the data is read during the conversion, however, it  
is recommended that it be read only during the first half of the  
conversion phase. That avoids any potential feedthrough between  
voltage transients on the digital interface and the most critical  
analog conversion circuitry.

Usually, because the ADC is used with a fast throughput, the

serial mode when it can be used.  
In read during conversion mode, the serial clock and data toggle at

External Clock  
The BYTESWAP pin allows a glueless interface to an 8-bit bus.  
As shown in Figure 19, the LSB byte is output on D[7:0] and  
the MSB is output on D[15:8] when BYTESWAP is low. When  
BYTESWAP is high, the LSB and MSB are swapped and the  
LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output on D[7:0]. By  
connecting BYTESWAP to an address line, the 16 data bits can  
be read in two bytes on either D[15:8] or D[7:0].  
The ADC is configured to accept an externally supplied serial  
data clock on the SCLK pin when the EXT/INT pin is held  
high. In this mode, several methods can be used to read the data.  
The external serial clock is gated by CS_ADC and the data are  
output when both CS_ADC and RD are low. Thus, depending on  
CS_ADC, the data can be read after each conversion or during  
the following conversion. The external clock can be either a  
continuous or discontinuous clock. A discontinuous clock can be  
either normally high or normally low when inactive. Figure 22 and  
Figure 24 show the detailed timing diagrams of these methods.

While the ADC is performing a bit decision, it is important that  
voltage transients not occur on digital input/output pins or  
degradation of the conversion result could occur. This is particu-  
larly important during the second half of the conversion phase  
because the ADC provides error correction circuitry that can  
correct for an improper bit decision made during the first half of  
the conversion phase. For this reason, it is recommended that when  
an external clock is being provided, it is a discontinuous clock  
that is toggling only when BUSY is low or, more importantly,  
that it does not transition during the latter half of BUSY high.

External Discontinuous Clock Data Read after Conversion  
Though the maximum throughput cannot be achieved using this  
mode, it is the most recommended of the serial slave modes.  
Figure 22 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method.  
After a conversion is complete, indicated by BUSY returning low,  
the result of this conversion can be read while both CS_ADC and  
RD are low. The data is shifted out, MSB first, with 16 clock  
pulses and is valid on both the rising and falling edge of the clock.  
Among the advantages of this method is that the conversion perfor-  
mance is not degraded because there are no voltage transients on  
the digital interface during the conversion process. Another advan-  
tage is to be able to read the data at any speed up to 40 MHz,  
which accommodates both slow digital host interface and the  
fastest serial reading.

Figure 23. Two AD15700s in a Daisy-Chain Configuration  
External Clock Data Read during Conversion  
Figure 24 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method.  
During a conversion, while both CS_ADC and RD are low, the  
result of the previous conversion can be read. The data is shifted  
out, MSB first, with 16 clock pulses and is valid on both the rising  
and falling edge of the clock. The 16 bits have to be read before  
the current conversion is complete. If that is not done, RDERROR  
is pulsed high and can be used to interrupt the host interface to  
prevent incomplete data reading. There is no daisy-chain feature  
in this mode and RDC/SDIN input should always be tied either  
high or low.  
Finally, in this mode only, the ADC provides a daisy-chain feature  
using the RDC/SDIN input pin for cascading multiple converters  
together. This feature is useful for reducing component count  
and wiring connections when desired as, for instance, in isolated  
multiconverter applications.  
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast  
discontinuous clock of at least 25 MHz when impulse mode is  
used, and 32 MHz when normal or 40 MHz when warp mode is  
used, is recommended to ensure that all the bits are read during  
the first half of the conversion phase. It is also possible to begin  
to read the data after conversion and continue to read the last  
bits even after a new conversion has been initiated. That allows  
the use of a slower clock speed like 18 MHz in impulse mode,  
21 MHz in normal mode, and 26 MHz in warp mode.  
An example of the concatenation of two devices is shown in  
Figure 23. Simultaneous sampling is possible by using a common  
CNVST signal. It should be noted that the RDC/SDIN input is  
latched on the opposite edge of SCLK of the one used to shift  
out the data on SDOUT. Therefore, the MSB of the “upstream”  
converter just follows the LSB of the “downstream” converter on  
the next SCLK cycle.

designed to interface either with a parallel 8-bit or 16-bit wide  
interface or with a general-purpose serial port or I/O ports on a  
microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can be used with the  
ADC to prevent digital noise from coupling into the ADC. The

SPI Interface (MC68HC11)  
Figure 25 shows an interface diagram between the ADC and an SPI  
equipped microcontroller like the MC68HC11. To accommodate  
the slower speed of the microcontroller, the ADC acts as a slave  
device and data must be read after conversion. This mode also  
allows the daisy-chain feature. The convert command could be  
initiated in response to an internal timer interrupt. The reading of  
output data, one byte at a time, if necessary, could be initiated in  
response to the end-of-conversion signal (BUSY going low) using  
an interrupt line of the microcontroller. The serial peripheral  
interface (SPI) on the MC68HC11 is configured for master mode  
(MSTR) = 1, Clock Polarity Bit (CPOL) = 0, Clock Phase Bit  
(CPHA) = 1, and SPI Interrupt Enable (SPIE) = 1 by writing  
to the SPI Control Register (SPCR). The IRQ is configured for  
edge-sensitive-only operation (IRQE = 1 in OPTION register).  
APPLICATION HINTS  
Layout  
The AD15700’s ADC has very good immunity to noise on the  
power supplies as can be seen in Figure 12. However, care should  
still be taken with regard to grounding layout.  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD15700 should be  
designed so the analog and digital sections are separated and  
confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of  
ground planes that can be easily separated. Digital and analog  
ground planes should be joined in only one place, preferably  
underneath the AD15700, or at least as close as possible to the  
AD15700. If the AD15700 is in a system where multiple devices  
require analog-to-digital ground connections, the connection should  
still be made at one point only, a star ground point, which should  
be established as close as possible to the AD15700. It is recom-  
mended to avoid running digital lines under the device as these  
will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should  
be allowed to run under the switching signals like CNVST or  
clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating  
noise to other sections of the board, and should never run near  
analog signal paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals should  
be avoided. Traces on different but close layers of the board  
should run at right angles to each other. This will reduce the  
effect of feedthrough through the board.

The power supply lines to the AD15700 should use as large a trace  
as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect  
of glitches on the power supply lines. Good decoupling is also impor-  
tant to lower the supply impedance presented to the AD15700  
and reduce the magnitude of the supply spikes. Decoupling  
ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should be placed on each  
power supply pin, AVDD, DVDD, and OVDD, close to and  
ideally right up against these pins and their corresponding ground  
pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 nF capacitors should be located  
in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce low frequency ripple.  
ADSP-21065L in Master Serial Interface  
As shown in Figure 26, AD15700s can be interfaced to the  
ADSP-21065L using the serial interface in master mode without  
any glue logic required. This mode combines the advantages of  
reducing the wire connections and the ability to read the data  
during or after conversion at maximum speed transfer  
(DIVSCLK[0:1] both low).  
The ADC is configured for the internal clock mode (EXT/INT  
low) and acts, therefore, as the master device. The convert com-  
mand can be generated by either an external low jitter oscillator  
or, as shown, by a FLAG output of the ADSP-21065L or by a  
frame output TFS of one serial port of the ADSP-21065L,  
which can be used like a timer. The serial port on the ADSP-21065L  
is configured for external clock (IRFS = 0), rising edge active  
(CKRE = 1), external late framed sync signals (IRFS = 0, LAFS = 1,  
RFSR = 1), and active high (LRFS = 0). The serial port of the  
ADSP-21065L is configured by writing to its receive control  
register (SRCTL)—see the ADSP-2106x SHARC User’s Manual.  
Because the serial port within the ADSP-21065L will be seeing  
a discontinuous clock, an initial word reading has to be done  
after the ADSP-21065L has been reset to ensure that the serial  
port is properly synchronized to this clock during each following  
data read operation.  
The DVDD supply of the AD15700 can be either a separate supply  
or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the digital  
interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply is noisy,  
or fast switching digital signals are present, it is recommended if  
no separate supply is available to connect the DVDD digital supply  
to the analog supply AVDD through an RC filter, and connect  
the system supply to the interface digital supply OVDD and the  
remaining digital circuitry. When DVDD is powered from the  
system supply, it is useful to insert a bead to further reduce high  
frequency spikes.

The AD15700’s ADC has five different ground pins: INGND,  
REFGND, AGND, DGND, and OGND. INGND is used to  
sense the analog input signal. REFGND senses the reference  
voltage and should be a low impedance return to the reference  
because it carries pulsed currents. AGND is the ground to which  
most internal ADC analog signals are referenced. This ground  
must be connected with the least resistance to the analog ground  
plane. DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane  
depending on the configuration. OGND is connected to the  
digital system ground.

Serial Interface  
Output Amplifier Selection  
The DAC is controlled by a versatile 3-wire serial interface that  
operates at clock rates up to 25 MHz and is compatible with  
SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interface standards. The  
timing diagram can be seen in Figure 3. Input data is framed by  
the chip select input, CS_DAC. After a high to low transition on  
CS_DAC, data is shifted synchronously and latched into the  
input register on the rising edge of the serial clock, SCLK. Data  
is loaded MSB first in 14-bit words. After 14 data bits have been  
loaded into the serial input register, a low to high transition on  
CS_DAC transfers the contents of the shift register to the DAC.  
Data can only be loaded to the part while CS_DAC is low.  
In a single-supply application, selection of a suitable op amp  
may be more difficult as the output swing of the amplifier does  
not usually include the negative rail, in this case AGND. This  
can result in some degradation of the specified performance  
unless the application does not use codes near zero.  
The selected op amp needs to have very low offset voltage (the  
DAC LSB is 152 mV with a 2.5 V reference) to eliminate the  
need for output offset trims. Input bias current should also be  
very low as the bias current multiplied by the DAC output  
impedance (approximately 6 kW) will add to the zero code error.  
Rail-to-rail input and output performance is required. For fast  
settling, the slew rate of the op amp should not impede the  
settling time of the DAC. Output impedance of the DAC is  
constant and code independent, but in order to minimize gain  
errors, the input impedance of the output amplifier should be as  
high as possible. The amplifier should also have a 3 dB band-  
width of 1 MHz or greater. The amplifier adds another time  
constant to the system, thus increasing the settling time of the  
output. A higher 3 dB amplifier bandwidth results in a faster  
effective settling time of the combined DAC and amplifier.  
Unipolar Output Operation  
The DAC is capable of driving unbuffered loads of 60 kW.  
Unbuffered operation results in low supply current, typically  
300 mA, and a low offset error. The DAC provides a unipolar  
output swing ranging from 0 V to VREF. Figure 32 shows a  
typical unipolar output voltage circuit. The code table for this  
mode of operation is shown in Table IV.

As the input impedance is code dependent, the reference pin  
should be driven from a low impedance source. The DAC oper-  
ates with a voltage reference ranging from 2 V to VDD. Although  
DAC’s full-scale output voltage is determined by the reference,  
references below 2 V will result in reduced accuracy. Table IV

Power-On Reset  
The DAC has a power-on reset function to ensure the output is  
at a known state upon power-up. On power-up, the DAC register  
contains all zeros, until data is loaded from the serial register.  
However, the serial register is not cleared on power-up, so its  
contents are undefined. When loading data initially to the DAC,  
14 bits or more should be loaded to prevent erroneous data  
appearing on the output. If more than 14 bits are loaded, only the  
last 14 are kept, and if fewer than 14 are loaded, bits will remain  
from the previous word. If the DAC needs to be interfaced with  
data shorter than 14 bits, the data should be padded with zeros  
at the LSBs.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING  
Microprocessor interfacing to the DAC is via a serial bus that  
uses standard protocol compatible with DSP processors and  
microcontrollers. The communications channel requires a  
3-wire interface consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a  
synchronization signal. The DAC requires a 14-bit data-word  
with data valid on the rising edge of SCLK. The DAC update  
may be done automatically when all the data is clocked in.

be set to operate in the SPORT (Serial Port) Transmit Alternate  
Framing Mode. The ADSP-2101/ADSP-2103 is programmed  
through the SPORT Control Register and should be configured  
as follows: internal clock operation, active low framing, 16-bit  
word length. The first two bits are DON’T CARE as the DAC  
will keep the last 14 bits. Transmission is initiated by writing a  
word to the Tx Register after the SPORT has been enabled.  
Because of the edge-triggered difference, an inverter is required at  
the SCLKs between the DSP and the DAC.

The 80C51/80L51 provides the LSB first, while the DAC  
expects the MSB of the 14-bit word first. Care should be taken  
to ensure the transmit routine takes this into account. Usually it  
can be done through software by shifting out and accumulating  
the bits in the correct order before inputting to the DAC. Also,  
80C51 outputs 2-byte word/16-bit data. Thus the first two bits,

When data is to be transmitted to the DAC, P3.3 is taken low.  
Data on RxD is valid on the falling edge of TxD, so the clock  
must be inverted as the DAC clocks data into the input shift  
register on the rising edge of the serial clock. The 80C51/80L51  
transmits its data in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock  
edges occurring in the transmit cycle. As the DAC requires a  
14-bit word, P3.3 (or any one of the other programmable bits)  
is the CS_DAC input signal to the DAC, so P3.3 should be  
brought low at the beginning of the 16-bit write cycle 2 ϫ 8-bit  
words and held low until the 16-bit 2 ϫ 8 cycle is completed.  
After that, P3.3 is brought high again and the new data loads to  
the DAC. Again, the first two bits, after rearranging, should be  
DON’T CARE.

Decoding Multiple DACs  
AMPLIFIER THEORY OF OPERATION  
The CS_DAC pin of the DAC can be used to select one of a  
number of DACs. All devices receive the same serial clock and  
serial data, but only one device will receive the CS_DAC signal  
at any one time. The DAC addressed will be determined by the  
decoder. There will be some digital feedthrough from the digital  
input lines. Using a burst clock will minimize the effects of digital  
feedthrough on the analog signal channels. Figure 38 shows a  
typical circuit.  
The amplifiers are single and dual versions of high speed, low  
power voltage feedback amplifiers featuring an innovative archi-  
tecture that maximizes the dynamic range capability on the inputs  
and outputs. Linear input common-mode range exceeds either  
supply voltage by 200 mV, and the amplifiers show no phase  
reversal up to 500 mV beyond supply. The output swings to  
within 20 mV of either supply when driving a light load; 300 mV  
when driving up to 5 mA.  
The amplifier provides an impressive 80 MHz bandwidth when  
used as a follower and 30 V/ms slew rate at only 800 mA supply  
current. Careful design allows the amplifier to operate with a  
supply voltage as low as 2.7 V.

Input Stage Operation  
A simplified schematic of the input stage appears in Figure 39.  
For common-mode voltages up to 1.1 V within the positive supply,  
(0 V to 3.9 V on a single 5 V supply) tail current I2 flows through  
the PNP differential pair, Q13 and Q17. Q5 is cut off; no bias  
current is routed to the parallel NPN differential pair Q2 and Q3.  
As the common-mode voltage is driven within 1.1 V of the positive  
supply, Q5 turns on and routes the tail current away from the PNP  
pair and to the NPN pair. During this transition region, the  
amplifier’s input current will change magnitude and direction.  
Reusing the same tail current ensures that the input stage has  
the same transconductance (which determines the amplifier’s  
gain and bandwidth) in both regions of operation.

Switching to the NPN pair as the common-mode voltage is  
driven beyond 1 V within the positive supply allows the amplifier  
to provide useful operation for signals at either end of the supply  
voltage range and eliminates the possibility of phase reversal for  
input signals up to 500 mV beyond either power supply. Offset  
voltage will also change to reflect the offset of the input pair in  
control. The transition region is small, on the order of 180 mV.  
These sudden changes in the dc parameters of the input stage  
can produce glitches that will adversely affect distortion.

Overdriving the Input Stage  
Used as a unity gain follower, the amplifier output will exhibit  
more distortion in the peak output voltage region around  
VCC –0.7 V. This unusual distortion characteristic is caused by  
the input stage architecture and is discussed in detail in the  
section covering Input Stage Operation.  
Sustained input differential voltages greater than 3.4 V should be  
avoided as the input transistors may be damaged. Input clamp  
diodes are recommended if the possibility of this condition exists.  
The voltages at the collectors of the input pairs are set to 200 mV  
from the power supply rails. This allows the amplifier to remain  
in linear operation for input voltages up to 500 mV beyond the  
supply voltages. Driving the input common-mode voltage beyond  
that point will forward bias the collector junction of the input  
transistor, resulting in phase reversal. Sustaining this condition  
for any length of time should be avoided as it is easy to exceed  
the maximum allowed input differential voltage when the amplifier  
is in phase reversal.  
Output Overdrive Recovery  
Output overdrive of an amplifier occurs when the amplifier  
attempts to drive the output voltage to a level outside its normal  
range. After the overdrive condition is removed, the amplifier must  
recover to normal operation in a reasonable amount of time. As  
shown in Figure 41, the amplifier recovers within 100 ns from  
negative overdrive and within 80 ns from positive overdrive.

Driving Capacitive Loads  
Q43  
Q48  
Capacitive loads interact with an amplifier’s output impedance  
to create an extra delay in the feedback path. This reduces circuit  
stability and can cause unwanted ringing and oscillation. A given  
value of capacitance causes much less ringing when the amplifier  
is used with a higher noise gain.

25mA  
I5

Q50  
The capacitive load drive of the amplifier can be increased by  
adding a low valued resistor in series with the capacitive load.  
Introducing a series resistor tends to isolate the capacitive load  
from the feedback loop, thereby diminishing its influence.  
Figure 42 shows the effect of a series resistor on capacitive drive  
for varying voltage gains. As the closed-loop gain is increased, the  
larger phase margin allows for larger capacitive loads with less  
overshoot. Adding a series resistor at lower closed-loop gains  
accomplishes the same effect. For large capacitive loads, the  
frequency response of the amplifier will be dominated by the  
roll-off of the series resistor and capacitive load.  
Figure 40. Output Stage Simplified Schematic  
The output voltage limit depends on how much current the  
output transistors are required to source or sink. For applica-  
tions with very low drive requirements (a unity gain follower  
driving another amplifier input, for instance), the amplifier  
typically swings within 20 mV of either voltage supply. As the  
required current load increases, the saturation output voltage  
will increase linearly as ILOAD ϫ RC, where ILOAD is the required  
load current and RC is the output transistor collector resistance.  
For the amplifier, the collector resistances for both output tran-  
sistors are typically 25 W. As the current load exceeds the rated  
output current of 15 mA, the amount of base drive current  
required to drive the output transistor into saturation will reach  
its limit, and the amplifier’s output swing will rapidly decrease.

The open-loop gain of the amplifier decreases approximately  
linearly with load resistance and also depends on the output  
voltage. Open-loop gain stays constant to within 250 mV of the  
positive power supply, 150 mV of the negative power supply  
and then decreases as the output transistors are driven further  
into saturation.

High Performance Single-Supply Line Driver  
Figure 43 shows the amplifier configured as a single-supply  
gain-of-two line driver. With the output driving a back terminated  
50 W line, the overall gain from VIN to VOUT is unity. In addition  
to minimizing reflections, the 50 W back termination resistor pro-  
tects the transistor from damage if the cable is short circuited.  
The emitter follower, which is inside the feedback loop, ensures  
that the output voltage from the amplifier stays about 700 mV  
above ground. Using this circuit, very low distortion is attain-  
able even when the output signal swings to within 50 mV of  
ground. The circuit was tested at 500 kHz and 2 MHz. Figures 44  
and 45 show the output signal swing and frequency spectrum at  
500 kHz. At this frequency, the output signal (at VOUT), which  
has a peak-to-peak swing of 1.95 V (50 mV to 2 V), has a THD  
of –68 dB (SFDR = –77 dB).  
Even though the amplifier swings close to both rails, the amplifier  
has optimum distortion performance when the signal has a common-  
mode level halfway between the supplies and when there is about  
500 mV of headroom to each rail. If low distortion is required in  
single-supply applications for signals that swing close to ground,  
an emitter follower circuit can be used at the amplifier output.

Figures 46 and 47 show the output signal swing and frequency  
spectrum at 2 MHz. As expected, there is some degradation in  
signal quality at the higher frequency. When the output signal has  
a peak-to-peak swing of 1.45 V (swinging from 50 mV to 1.5 V),  
the THD is –55 dB (SFDR = –60 dB). This circuit could also be  
used to drive the analog input of a single-supply high speed ADC  
whose input voltage range is referenced to ground (e.g., 0 V to 2 V  
or 0 V to 4 V). In this case, a back termination resistor is not  
necessary (assuming a short physical distance from transistor to  
ADC), so the emitter of the external transistor would be connected  
directly to the ADC input. The available output voltage swing  
of the circuit would, therefore, be doubled.
