GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7946 is a 14-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single 5 V power supply, VDD. It contains a low power,
high speed, 14-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an
internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port.
The part also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short
aperture delay track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising edge,
it samples an analog input IN+ between 0 V to REF with respect
to a ground sense IN−. The reference voltage, REF, is applied
externally and can be set up to the supply voltage.
10-lead MSOP (MSOP-8 size) and
3 mm × 3 mm QFN (LFCSP) (SOT-23 size)
Pin-for-pin compatible with the 16-bit AD7686
APPLICATIONS
Battery-powered equipment
Data acquisition
Its power scales linearly with throughput.
Instrumentation
Medical instruments
Process control
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single,
3-wire bus, or it provides an optional BUSY indicator. It is
compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate
supply VIO.
The AD7946 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK.
Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock.
Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the
ADC as follows:
Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data
input to daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital
data level on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 14 SCK cycles.
CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can
enable the serial output signals when low, and if SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete,
the BUSY indicator feature is enabled.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
INL 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 ½ LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB
beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the middle of each code to the true straight line (Figure 24).
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD by the following formula:
ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02
and is expressed in bits.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in dB.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the
maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in
terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is 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 dB.
Offset Error
The first transition should occur at a level ½ LSB above analog
ground (152.6 μV for the 0 V to 5 V range). The offset error is
the deviation of the actual transition from that point.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
Gain Error
SINAD is 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
SINAD is expressed in dB.
The last transition (from 111 … 10 to 111 … 11) should occur
for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full scale
(4.999542 V for the 0 V to 5 V range). The gain error is the
deviation of the actual level of the last transition from the ideal
level after the offset has been adjusted out.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measurement of the acquisition perform-
ance and is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input
and when the input signal is held for a conversion.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms
amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to accu-
rately acquire its input after a full-scale step function is applied.

The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB,
in order to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition.
After completing this process, the part returns to the acquisition
phase, and the control logic generates the ADC output code and
a BUSY signal indicator.
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7946 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise 14-bit
ADC using a successive approximation architecture.
The AD7946 can convert 500,000 samples per second (500 kSPS)
and powers down between conversions. When operating at
100 SPS, for example, it consumes 3.3 μW typically, ideal for
battery-powered applications.
Because the AD7946 has an on-board conversion clock, the
serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.
Transfer Functions
The AD7946 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold
and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it
ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7946 is shown in
Figure 24 and Table 7.
The AD7946 is specified from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and can be
interfaced to any of the 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is
housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead QFN (LFCSP) that
combines space savings and allows flexible configurations.
111...111
111...110
111...101
It is pin-for-pin compatible with the 16-bit ADC AD7686.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7946 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 23 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 14 binary weighted capacitors, which are
connected to the two comparator inputs.

+FSR – 1.5 LSB
–FSR + 0.5 LSB
During the acquisition phase, the terminals of the array that are
tied to the comparator’s input are connected to GND via SW+
and SW−. All independent switches are connected to the analog
inputs. Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors
and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN− inputs. When
the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high,
a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase
begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to
the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the
inputs IN+ and IN− captured at the end of the acquisition phase
is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to
become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor
array between GND and REF, the comparator input varies by
binary weighted voltage steps (REF/2, REF/4 … REF/16,384).

ANALOG INPUT
Figure 26 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7946.
The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that
the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more
than 0.3 V because this causes these diodes to begin to forward-
bias and start conducting current. These diodes can handle a
maximum forward-biased current of 130 mA. For instance,
these conditions could eventually occur when the input buffer’s
(U1) supplies are different from VDD. In such a case, an input
buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used to
protect the part.

During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog
inputs (IN+ or IN−) can be modeled as a parallel combination
of capacitor, CPIN, and the network formed by the series connec-
tion of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance. RIN is
typically 600 Ω and is a lumped component made up of some
serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is
typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor.
During the conversion phase, when the switches are opened, the
input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a 1-pole,
low-pass filter, which reduces undesirable aliasing effects and
limits the noise.

Figure 26. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
The analog input structure allows the sampling of the
differential signal between IN+ and IN−. By using this
differential input, small signals common to both inputs are
rejected, as shown in Figure 27, which represents the typical
CMRR over frequency. For instance, by using IN− to sense a
remote signal ground, ground potential differences between the
sensor and the local ADC ground are eliminated.
When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7946 can be driven directly. Large source impedances
significantly affect the ac performance, especially total
harmonic distortion (THD). The dc performances are less
sensitive to the input impedance. The maximum source
impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be

impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown in
Figure 28.

When REF is driven by a very low impedance source, for
example, a reference buffer using the AD8031 or the AD8603, a
10 μF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for
optimum performance.
Figure 28. THD vs. Analog Input Frequency and Source Resistance
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
Although the AD7946 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier
needs to meet the following requirements:
If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value
depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 μF (X5R,
1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum
performance using a low temperature drift ADR43x reference.
•
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition
noise performance of the AD7946. Note that the AD7946
has a noise much lower than most of the other 14-bit
ADCs and, therefore, can be driven by a noisier amplifier
to meet a given system noise specification. The noise
coming from the amplifier is filtered by the AD7946 analog
input circuit 1-pole, low-pass filter made by RIN and CIN or
by the external filter, if one is used.
If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values down
to 2.2 μF can be used with a minimal impact on performance,
especially DNL.
Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value ceramic
decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between the REF
and GND pins.
•
•
For ac applications, the driver should have a THD perform-
ance commensurate with the AD7946. Figure 17 shows the
THD vs. frequency that the driver should exceed.
For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7946 analog input circuit must settle a
full-scale step onto the capacitor array at a 14-bit level
(0.006%). In the amplifier’s data sheet, settling at 0.1% to
0.01% is more commonly specified. This could differ
significantly from the settling time at a 14-bit level and
should be verified prior to driver selection.

POWER SUPPLY
SUPPLYING THE ADC FROM THE REFERENCE
The AD7946 is specified at 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It uses two power
supply pins: a core supply VDD and a digital input/output
interface supply VIO. VIO allows direct interface with any
logic between 1.8 V and VDD. To reduce the supplies needed,
the VIO and VDD can be tied together. The AD7946 is
independent of power supply sequencing between VIO and
VDD. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply
variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 29,
which represents PSRR over frequency.
For simplified applications, the AD7946, with its low operating
current, can be supplied directly using the reference circuit
shown in Figure 31. The reference line can be driven by one of
the following:
•
•
The system power supply directly.
A reference voltage with enough current output capability,
such as the ADR43x.
•
A reference buffer, such as the AD8031 or AD8603,
which can also filter the system power supply, as shown
in Figure 31.

SINGLE-SUPPLY APPLICATION
The AD7946 powers down automatically at the end of each
conversion phase and, therefore, the power scales linearly with
the sampling rate, as shown in Figure 30. This makes the part
ideal for low sampling rate (even a few Hz) and low battery-
powered applications.
Figure 32 shows a typical 14-bit single-supply application. There
are different challenges to doing a single-supply, high resolution
design, and the ADA4841 addresses these nicely. The combina-
tion of low noise, low power, wide input range, rail-to-rail output,
and high speed make the ADA4841 a perfect driver solution for
low power, single-supply 14-bit ADCs, such as the AD7946. In a
single-supply system, one of the main challenges is to use the
amplifier in buffer mode to have the lowest output noise and
still preserve linearity compatible with the ADC. Rail-to-rail
input amplifiers usually have higher noise than the ADA4841
and cannot be used on their entire input range in buffer mode
because of the nonlinear region around the crossover point of
their input stage. The ADA4841, which has no crossover region
but has a wide linear input range from ground to 1 V below
positive rail, solves this issue, as shown in Figure 32, where it
can accept the 0 V to 4.096 V input range with a supply as low
as 5.2 V. This supply allows using a small, low dropout, low
temperature drift ADR364 reference voltage. Note that, like any
rail-to-rail output amplifier at the low end of its output range
close to ground, the ADA4841 can exhibit some nonlinearity on
a small region of approximately 25 mV from ground. The
ADA4841 drives a 1-pole, low-pass filter. This filter limits the
already very low noise contribution from the amplifier to the
AD7946.

In either mode, the AD7946 offers the flexibility to optionally
force a start bit in front of the data bits. This start bit can be
used as a BUSY signal indicator to interrupt the digital host and
trigger the data reading. Otherwise, without a BUSY indicator,
the user must time out the maximum conversion time prior to
readback.

valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used
to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge
allows a faster reading rate, provided it has an acceptable hold
time. After the 14th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high,
whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance.

could be useful to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices,

maximum conversion time to avoid the generation of the BUSY
signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, the AD7946
enters the acquisition phase and powers down. When CNV
goes low, the MSB is output onto SDO. The remaining data bits

This mode is usually used when a single AD7946 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host having an interrupt input.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 35, and the
corresponding timing is given in Figure 36.
If multiple AD7946s are selected at the same time, the SDO
output pin handles this contention without damage or induced
latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended to keep this contention
as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
CS
conversion, selects the
mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. SDO is maintained in high impedance until the
completion of the conversion irrespective of the state of CNV.
Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNV could be used to
select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV
must be returned low before the minimum conversion time and
held low until the maximum conversion time to guarantee the
generation of the BUSY signal indicator. When the conversion
is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to low. With a
pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an
interrupt signal to initiate the data reading controlled by the
digital host. The AD7946 then enters the acquisition phase and
powers down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by

bringing its SDI input low, which consequently outputs the MSB
onto SDO. The remaining data bits are then clocked by subse-
quent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges.
Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a
digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading

CS MODE 4-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7946 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host, which has an interrupt input,
and it is desired to keep CNV, which is used to sample the
analog input, independent of the signal used to select the data
reading. This requirement is particularly important in
applications where low jitter on CNV is desired.

powers down. The remaining data bits stored in the internal
shift register are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges.
For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the internal shift register
and is clocked by the SCK falling edge. Each ADC in the chain
outputs its data MSB first, and 14 × N clocks are required to
readback the N ADCs. The data is valid on both SCK edges.
Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a
digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate and consequently more AD7946s in the chain, provided the
digital host has an acceptable hold time. The maximum conver-
sion rate may be reduced due to the total readback time. For
instance, with a 3 ns digital host setup time and 3 V interface,
up to four AD7946s running at a conversion rate of 360 kSPS
can be daisy-chained on a 3-wire port.
This mode can be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7946s on
a 3-wire serial interface. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections, for example, in
isolated multiconverter applications or for systems with a
limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to
clocking a shift register.
A connection diagram example using two AD7946s is shown in
Figure 41, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 42.
When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK low,
a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the chain
mode, and disables the BUSY indicator. In this mode, CNV is
held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data
readback. When the conversion is complete, the MSB is output

AD7946
Figure 43) SDO is driven high. This transition on SDO can
be used as a BUSY indicator to trigger the data readback
controlled by the digital host. The AD7946 then enters the
acquisition phase and powers down. The data bits stored in
the internal shift register are then clocked out, MSB first, by
subsequent SCK falling edges. For each ADC, SDI feeds the
input of the internal shift register and is clocked by the SCK
falling edge. Each ADC in the chain outputs its data MSB first,
and 14 × N + 1 clocks are required to readback the N ADCs.
Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a
digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate and consequently more AD7946s in the chain, provided the
digital host has an acceptable hold time. For instance, with a
3 ns digital host setup time and 3 V interface, up to four AD7946s
running at a conversion rate of 360 kSPS can be daisy-chained
to a single 3-wire port.
CHAIN MODE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode can be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7946s on a
3-wire serial interface while providing a BUSY indicator. This
feature is useful for reducing component count and wiring
connections, for example, in isolated multiconverter applications or
for systems with a limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is
analogous to clocking a shift register.
A connection diagram example using three AD7946s is shown
in Figure 43, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 44.
When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK
high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the
chain mode, and enables the BUSY indicator feature. In this
mode, CNV is held high during the conversion phase and the
subsequent data readback. When all ADCs in the chain have
completed their conversions, the near-end ADC (ADC C in

AD7946
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
LAYOUT
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7946 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. The pinout of the
AD7946, with all its analog signals on the left side and all its
digital signals on the right side, eases this task.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these
couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the
AD7946 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV
or clocks, should never run near analog signal paths. Crossover
of digital and analog signals should be avoided.
At least one ground plane should be used. It could be common
or split between the digital and analog sections. In the latter
case, the planes should be joined underneath the AD7946s.
Figure 45. Example of Layout of the AD7946 (Top Layer)
The AD7946 voltage reference input REF has a dynamic input
impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic
inductances. This is done by placing the reference decoupling
ceramic capacitor close to, and ideally right up against, the REF
and GND pins and connecting it with wide, low impedance
traces.
Finally, the power supplies VDD and VIO of the AD7946
should be decoupled with ceramic capacitors (typically 100 nF)
placed close to the AD7946 and connected using short and wide
traces to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect of
glitches on the power supply lines.
An example of layout following these rules is shown in
Figure 45 and Figure 46.
EVALUATING THE AD7946’S PERFORMANCE
Other recommended layouts for the AD7946 are outlined
in the documentation of the evaluation board for the AD7946
(EVAL-AD7946CB). The evaluation board package includes a
fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation,
and software for controlling the board from a PC via the
EVAL-CONTROL BRD3.
