Self-Calibrating 12-Bit Plus Sign Serial I/O A/D  
Converters with MUX and Sample/Hold  
General Description  
Applications  
n Medical instruments  
n Process control systems  
n Test equipment  
The ADC12030, and ADC12H030 families are 12-bit plus  
sign successive approximation A/D converters with serial I/O  
and configurable input multiplexers. The ADC12032/  
ADC12H032, ADC12034/ADC12H034 and ADC12038/  
ADC12H038 have 2, 4 and 8 channel multiplexers, respec-  
tively. The differential multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs are  
available on the MUXOUT1, MUXOUT2, A/DIN1 and A/DIN2  
pins. The ADC12030/ADC12H030 has a two channel multi-  
plexer with the multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs internally  
connected. The ADC12030 family is tested with a 5 MHz  
clock, while the ADC12H030 family is tested with an 8 MHz  
clock. On request, these A/Ds go through a self calibration  
process that adjusts linearity, zero and full-scale errors to  
Features  
n Serial I/O (MICROWIRE Compatible)  
n 2, 4, or 8 channel differential or single-ended multiplexer  
n Analog input sample/hold function  
n Power down mode  
n Variable resolution and conversion rate  
n Programmable acquisition time

±
less than 1 LSB each.  
The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various  
combinations  
of  
single-ended,  
differential,  
or  
pseudo-differential modes. A fully differential unipolar analog  
input range (0V to +5V) can be accommodated with a single  
+5V supply. In the differential modes, valid outputs are ob-  
tained even when the negative inputs are greater than the  
positive because of the 12-bit plus sign output data format.

DI  
This is the serial data input pin. The data  
applied to this pin is shifted by the rising  
edge of SCLK into the multiplexer address  
and mode select register. Table 2 through  
Table 5 show the assignment of the multi-  
plexer address and the mode select data.  
Pin Descriptions  
CCLK  
The clock applied to this input controls the  
sucessive approximation conversion time in-  
terval and the acquisition time. The rise and  
fall times of the clock edges should not ex-  
ceed 1 µs.  
DO  
The data output pin. This pin is an active  
push/pull output when CS is low. When CS  
is high, this output is TRI-STATE. The A/D  
conversion result (D0–D12) and converter  
status data are clocked out by the falling  
edge of SCLK on this pin. The word length  
and format of this result can vary (see Table  
1). The word length and format are con-  
trolled by the data shifted into the multiplexer  
address and mode select register (see Table  
5).  
SCLK  
This is the serial data clock input. The clock  
applied to this input controls the rate at  
which the serial data exchange occurs. The  
rising edge loads the information on the DI  
pin into the multiplexer address and mode  
select shift register. This address controls  
which channel of the analog input multi-  
plexer (MUX) is selected and the mode of  
operation for the A/D. With CS low the falling  
edge of SCLK shifts the data resulting from  
the previous ADC conversion out on DO,  
with the exception of the first bit of data.  
When CS is low continously, the first bit of  
the data is clocked out on the rising edge of  
EOC (end of conversion). When CS is  
toggled the falling edge of CS always clocks  
out the first bit of data. CS should be brought  
low when SCLK is low. The rise and fall  
times of the clock edges should not exceed  
1 µs.  
EOC  
CS  
This pin is an active push/pull output and  
indicates the status of the ADC12030/2/4/8.  
When low, it signals that the A/D is busy with  
a conversion, auto-calibration, auto-zero or  
power down cycle. The rising edge of EOC  
signals the end of one of these cycles.  
This is the chip select pin. When a logic low  
is applied to this pin, the rising edge of SCLK  
shifts the data on DI into the address regis-

Pin Descriptions (Continued)  
PD  
This is the power down pin. When PD is high  
the A/D is powered down; when PD is low  
the A/D is powered up. The A/D takes a  
maximum of 250 µs to power up after the  
command is given.  
ter. This low also brings DO out of  
TRI-STATE. With CS low the falling edge of  
SCLK shifts the data resulting from the pre-  
vious ADC conversion out on DO, with the  
exception of the first bit of data. When CS is  
low continously, the first bit of the data is  
clocked out on the rising edge of EOC (end  
of conversion). When CS is toggled the fall-  
ing edge of CS always clocks out the first bit  
of data. CS should be brought low when  
SCLK is low. The falling edge of CS resets a  
conversion in progress and starts the se-  
quence for a new conversion. When CS is  
brought back low during a conversion, that  
conversion is prematurely terminated. The  
data in the output latches may be corrupted.  
Therefore, when CS is brought back low dur-  
ing a conversion in progress the data output  
at that time should be ignored. CS may also  
be left continuously low. In this case it is  
imperative that the correct number of SCLK  
pulses be applied to the ADC in order to  
remain synchronous. After the ADC supply  
power is applied it expects to see 13 clock  
pulses for each I/O sequence. The number  
of clock pulses the ADC expects is the same  
as the digital output word length. This word  
length can be modified by the data shifted in  
on the DO pin. Table 5 details the data  
required.  
CH0–CH7  
These are the analog inputs of the MUX. A  
channel input is selected by the address in-  
formation at the DI pin, which is loaded on  
the rising edge of SCLK into the address  
register (See Tables 2, 3, 4).  
The voltage applied to these inputs should  
not exceed VA+ or go below GND. Exceed-  
ing this range on an unselected channel will  
corrupt the reading of a selected channel.  
COM  
This pin is another analog input pin. It is  
used as a pseudo ground when the analog  
multiplexer is single-ended.

MUXOUT2

are  
the  
multiplexer  
output  
A/DIN1, /DIN2 These are the converter input pins. MUX-  
OUT1 is usually tied to A/DIN1. MUXOUT2  
is usually tied to A/DIN2. If external circuitry  
is placed between MUXOUT1 and A/DIN1,  
or MUXOUT2 and A/DIN2 it may be neces-  
sary to protect these pins. The voltage at  
+
these pins should not exceed VA or go be-  
low AGND (see Figure 5).  
VREF  
+
This is the positive analog voltage reference  
input. In order to maintain accuracy, the volt-  
age range of VREF (VREF = VREF+ − VREF−)  
is 1 VDC to 5.0 VDC and the voltage at VREF  
cannot exceed VA+. See Figure 6 for recom-  
mended bypassing.  
DOR  
This is the data output ready pin. This pin is  
an active push/pull output. It is low when the  
conversion result is being shifted out and  
goes high to signal that all the data has been  
shifted out.  
+
VREF  
The negative voltage reference input. In or-  
der to maintain accuracy, the voltage at this  
pin must not go below GND or exceed VA+.  
(See Figure 6).  
CONV  
A logic low is required on this pin to program  
any mode or change the ADC’s configuration  
as listed in the Mode Programming Table 5  
such as 12-bit conversion, 8-bit conversion,  
Auto Cal, Auto Zero etc. When this pin is  
high the ADC is placed in the read data only  
mode. While in the read data only mode,  
bringing CS low and pulsing SCLK will only  
clock out on DO any data stored in the ADCs  
output shift register. The data on DI will be  
neglected. A new conversion will not be  
started and the ADC will remain in the mode  
VA+, VD+  
These are the analog and digital power sup-  
+
+
ply pins. VA and VD are not connected  
together on the chip. These pins should be  
tied to the same power supply and bypassed  
separately (see Figure 6). The operating  
voltage range of VA+ and VD+ is 4.5 VDC to  
5.5 VDC

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is  
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed  
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test  
conditions.

Note 11: Tested limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).  
Note 12: Positive integral linearity error is defined as the deviation of the analog value, expressed in LSBs, from the straight line that passes through positive  
full-scale and zero. For negative integral linearity error, the straight line passes through negative full-scale and zero (see Figures 2, 3).  
Note 13: Zero error is a measure of the deviation from the mid-scale voltage (a code of zero), expressed in LSB. It is the worst-case value of the code transitions  
between 1 to 0 and 0 to +1 (see Figure 4).  
Note 14: Total unadjusted error includes offset, full-scale, linearity and multiplexer errors.  
Note 15: The DC common-mode error is measured in the differential multiplexer mode with the assigned positive and negative input channels shorted together.  
Note 16: Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.  
Note 17: Timing specifications are tested at the TTL logic levels, V = 0.4V for a falling edge and V = 2.4V for a rising edge. TRI-STATE output voltage is forced  
IL  
IH  
to 1.4V.  
Note 18: The ADC12030 family’s self-calibration technique ensures linearity and offset errors as specified, but noise inherent in the self-calibration process will  
result in a maximum repeatability uncertainty of 0.2 LSB.  
Note 19: If SCLK and CCLK are driven from the same clock source, then t is 6, 10, 18 or 34 clock periods minimum and maximum.  
A
Note 20: The “12-Bit Conversion of Offset” and “12-Bit Conversion of Full-Scale” modes are intended to test the functionality of the device. Therefore, the output  
data from these modes are not an indication of the accuracy of a conversion result.

shift register. To retrieve the status information, an additional  
read status instruction is issued to the A/D. At this time the  
status data is available on DO. If the Cal signal in the status  
word, is low Auto Cal has been completed. Therefore, the  
next instruction issued can start a conversion. The data  
output at this time is again status information. To keep noise  
from corrupting the A/D conversion, status can not be read  
during a conversion. If CS is strobed and is brought low  
during a conversion, that conversion is prematurely ended.  
EOC can be used to determine the end of a conversion or  
the A/D controller can keep track in software of when it would  
be appropriate to comnmunicate to the A/D again. Once it  
has been determined that the A/D has completed a conver-  
sion, another instruction can be transmitted to the A/D. The  
data from this conversion can be accessed when the next  
instruction is issued to the A/D.  
Application Hints  
1.0 DIGITAL INTERFACE  
1.1 Interface Concepts  
The example in Figure 7 shows a typical sequence of events  
after the power is applied to the ADC12030/2/4/8:  
01135436  
FIGURE 7. Typical Power Supply Power Up Sequence  
Note, when CS is low continuously it is important to transmit  
the exact number of SCLK cycles, as shown in the timing  
diagrams. Not doing so will desynchronize the serial com-  
munication to the A/D. (See Section 1.3.)  
The first instruction input to the A/D via DI initiates Auto Cal.  
The data output on DO at that time is meaningless and is  
completely random. To determine whether the Auto Cal has  
been completed, a read status instruction is issued to the  
A/D. Again the data output at that time has no significance  
since the Auto Cal procedure modifies the data in the output  
27  
www.national.com  
If erroneous SCLK pulses desynchronize the communica-  
tions, the simplest way to recover is by cycling the power  
supply to the device. Not being able to easily resynchronize  
the device is a shortcoming of leaving CS low continuously.  
Application Hints (Continued)  
1.2 Changing Configuration  
The configuration of the ADC12030/2/4/8 on power up de-  
faults to 12-bit plus sign resolution, 12- or 13-bit MSB First,  
10 CCLK acquisition time, user mode, no Auto Cal, no Auto  
Zero, and power up mode. Changing the aquisition time and  
turning the sign bit on and off requires an 8-bit instruction to  
be issued to the ADC. This instruction will not start a con-  
version. The instructions that select a multiplexer address  
and format the output data do start a conversion. Figure 8  
describes an example of changing the configuration of the  
ADC12030/2/4/8.  
The number of clock pulses required for an I/O exchange  
may be different for the case when CS is left low continu-  
ously vs the case when CS is cycled. Take the I/O sequence  
detailed in Figure 7 (Typical Power Supply Sequence) as an  
example. The table below lists the number of SCLK pulses  
required for each instruction:  
Instruction  
CS Low  
Continuously  
13 SCLKs  
13 SCLKs  
13 SCLKs  
13 SCLKs  
13 SCLKs  
CS Strobed  
During I/O sequence 1, the instruction on DI configures the  
ADC12030/2/4/8 to do a conversion with 12-bit +sign reso-  
lution. Notice that when the 6 CCLK Acquisition and Data  
Out without Sign instructions are issued to the ADC, I/O  
sequences 2 and 3, a new conversion is not started. The  
data output during these instructions is from conversion N  
which was started during I/O sequence 1. The Configuration  
Modification timing diagram describes in detail the sequence  
of events necessary for a Data Out without Sign, Data Out  
with Sign, or 6/10/18/34 CCLK Acquisition time mode selec-  
tion. Table 5 describes the actual data necessary to be input  
to the ADC to accomplish this configuration modification. The  
next instruction, shown in Figure 8, issued to the A/D starts  
conversion N+1 with 8 bits of resolution formatted MSB first.  
Again the data output during this I/O cycle is the data from  
conversion N.

1.4 Analog Input Channel Selection  
The data input on DI also selects the channel configuration  
for a particular A/D conversion (see Tables 2, 3, 4 and Table  
5). In Figure 8 the only times when the channel configuration  
could be modified would be during I/O sequences 1, 4, 5 and  
6. Input channels are reselected before the start of each new  
conversion. Shown below is the data bit stream required on  
DI, during I/O sequence number 4 in Figure 8, to set CH1 as  
the positive input and CH0 as the negative input for the  
different versions of ADCs:  
The number of SCLKs applied to the A/D during any conver-  
sion I/O sequence should vary in accord with the data out  
word format chosen during the previous conversion I/O se-  
quence. The various formats and resolutions available are  
shown in Table 1. In Figure 8, since 8-bit without sign MSB  
first format was chosen during I/O sequence 4, the number  
of SCLKs required during I/O sequence 5 is 8. In the follow-  
ing I/O sequence the format changes to 12-bit without sign  
MSB first; therefore the number of SCLKs required during  
I/O sequence 6 changes accordingly to 12.

1.3 CS Low Continuously Considerations  
When CS is continuously low, it is important to transmit the  
exact number of SCLK pulses that the ADC expects. Not  
doing so will desynchronize the serial communications to the  
ADC. When the supply power is first applied to the ADC, it  
will expect to see 13 SCLK pulses for each I/O transmission.  
The number of SCLK pulses that the ADC expects to see is  
the same as the digital output word length. The digital output  
word length is controlled by the Data Out (DO) format. The  
DO format maybe changed any time a conversion is started  
or when the sign bit is turned on or off. The table below  
details out the number of clock periods required for different  
DO formats:  
L
H
Where X can be a logic high (H) or low (L).  
1.5 Power Up/Down  
The ADC may be powered down at any time by taking the  
PD pin HIGH or by the instruction input on DI (see Tables 5,  
6, and the Power Up/Down timing diagrams). When the ADC  
is powered down in this way, the circuitry necessary for an  
A/D conversion is deactivated. The circuitry necessary for  
digital I/O is kept active. Hardware power up/down is con-  
trolled by the state of the PD pin. Software power-up/down is  
controlled by the instruction issued to the ADC. If a software  
power up instruction is issued to the ADC while a hardware  
power down is in effect (PD pin high) the device will remain  
in the power-down state. If a software power down instruc-  
tion is issued to the ADC while a hardware power up is in  
effect (PD pin low), the device will power down. When the  
device is powered down by software, it may be powered up  
by either issuing a software power up instruction or by taking  
PD pin high and then low. If the power down command is  
issued during an A/D conversion, that conversion is dis-  
rupted. Therefore, the data output after power up cannot be  
relied upon.

FIGURE 8. Changing the ADC’s Conversion Configuration  
1.6 User Mode and Test Mode  
1.7 Reading the Data Without Starting a Conversion  
An instruction may be issued to the ADC to put it into test  
mode. Test mode is used by the manufacturer to verify  
complete functionality of the device. During test mode  
CH0–CH7 become active outputs. If the device is inadvert-  
ently put into the test mode with CS continuously low, the  
serial communications may be desynchronized. Synchroni-  
zation may be regained by cycling the power supply voltage  
to the device. Cycling the power supply voltage will also set  
the device into user mode. If CS is used in the serial inter-  
face, the ADC may be queried to see what mode it is in. This  
is done by issuing a “read STATUS register” instruction to the  
ADC. When bit 9 of the status register is high, the ADC is in  
test mode; when bit 9 is low the ADC, is in user mode. As an  
alternative to cycling the power supply, an instruction se-  
quence may be used to return the device to user mode. This  
instruction sequence must be issued to the ADC using CS.  
The following table lists the instructions required to return the  
device to user mode:  
The data from a particular conversion may be accessed  
without starting a new conversion by ensuring that the  
CONV line is taken high during the I/O sequence. See the  
Read Data timing diagrams. Table 6 describes the operation  
of the CONV pin.  
2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE ANALOG MULTIPLEXER  
For the ADC12038, the analog input multiplexer can be  
configured with 4 differential channels or 8 single ended  
channels with the COM input as the zero reference or any  
combination thereof (see Figure 9). The difference between  
+
the voltages on the VREF and VREF pins determines the  
input voltage span (VREF). The analog input voltage range is  
0 to VA+. Negative digital output codes result when VIN  
>
VIN+. The actual voltage at VIN or VIN cannot go below

With the single-ended multiplexer configuration CH0 through  
CH7 can be assigned to the MUXOUT1 pin. The COM pin is  
always assigned to the MUXOUT2 pin. A/DIN1 is assigned  
as the positve input; A/DIN2 is assigned as the negative  
input. (See Figure 10).

CH0, CH2, CH4, and CH6 can be assigned to the MUX-  
OUT1 pin in the differential configuration, while CH1, CH3,  
CH5, and CH7 can be assigned to the MUXOUT2 pin. In the  
differential configuration, the analog inputs are paired as  
follows: CH0 with CH1, CH2 with CH3, CH4 with CH5 and  
CH6 with CH7. The A/DIN1 and A/DIN2 pins can be as-  
signed positive or negative polarity.

2.1 Biasing for Various Multiplexer Configurations  
Figure 11 is an example of biasing the device for  
single-ended operation. The sign bit is always low. The  
digital output range is 0 0000 0000 0000 to 0 1111 1111 1111.  
One LSB is equal to 1 mV (4.1V/4096 LSBs).

30  
periods, the input biasing resistor needs to be 600or less.  
Notice though that the input coupling capacitor needs to be  
made fairly large to bring down the high pass corner. In-  
creasing the acquisition time to 34 clock periods (with a  
5 MHz CCLK frequency) would allow the 600to increase to  
6k, which with a 1 µF coupling capacitor would set the high  
pass corner at 26 Hz. Increasing R, to 6k would allow R2 to  
be 2k.  
Application Hints (Continued)  
For pseudo-differential signed operation, the biasing circuit  
shown in Figure 12 shows a signal AC coupled to the ADC.  
This gives a digital output range of −4096 to +4095. With a  
2.5V reference, as shown, 1 LSB is equal to 610 µV. Al-  
though, the ADC is not production tested with a 2.5V refer-  
ence, linearity error typically will not change more than 0.1  
LSB (see the curves in the Typical Electrical Characteristics  
Section). With the ADC set to an acquisition time of 10 clock  
01135447  
FIGURE 12. Pseudo-Differential Biasing with the Signal Source AC Coupled Directly into the ADC  
An alternative method for biasing pseudo-differential opera-  
tion is to use the +2.5V from the LM4040 to bias any ampli-  
fier circuits driving the ADC as shown in Figure 13. The value  
of the resistor pull-up biasing the LM4040-2.5 will depend  
upon the current required by the op amp biasing circuitry.  
LM4041 to set the full scale voltage at exactly 2.048V and a  
lower grade LM4040D-2.5 to bias up everything to 2.5V as  
shown in Figure 14 will allow the use of all the ADC’s digital  
output range of −4096 to +4095 while leaving plenty of head  
room for the amplifier.  
In the circuit of Figure 13 some voltage range is lost since  
the amplifier will not be able to swing to +5V and GND with  
a single +5V supply. Using an adjustable version of the  
Fully differential operation is shown in Figure 15. One LSB  
for this case is equal to (4.1V/4096) = 1 mV.

The difference in the voltages applied to the VREF and  
VREFdefines the analog input span (the difference between  
the voltage applied between two multiplexer inputs or the  
voltage applied to one of the multiplexer inputs and analog  
ground), over which 4095 positive and 4096 negative codes  
exist. The voltage sources driving VREF+ or VREFmust have  
very low output impedance and noise. The circuit in Figure  
16 is an example of a very stable reference appropriate for  
use with the device.

Stable Reference Circuit  
The reference voltage inputs are not fully differential. The  
ADC12030/2/4/8 will not generate correct conversions or  
comparisons if VREF+ is taken below VREF. Correct conver-  
sions result when VREF+ and VREFdiffer by 1V and remain,  
at all times, between ground and VA+. The VREF common  
mode range, (VREF+ + VREF)/2 is restricted to (0.1 x VA+) to  
The ADC 12030/2/4/8 can be used in either ratiometric or  
absolute reference applications. In ratiometric systems, the  
analog input voltage is proportional to the voltage used for  
the ADC’s reference voltage. When this voltage is the sys-  
+
(0.6 x VA+). Therefore, with VA = 5V the center of the  
+
+
tem power supply, the VREF pin is connected to VA and  
reference ladder should not go below 0.5V or above 3.0V.  
Figure 17 is a graphic representation of the voltage restric-  
VREF is connected to ground. This technique relaxes the  
system reference stability requirements because the analog  
input voltage and the ADC reference voltage move together.  
This maintains the same output code for given input condi-  
tions. For absolute accuracy, where the analog input voltage

switch on resistance. With MUXOUT1 tied to A/DIN1 and  
MUXOUT2 tied to A/DIN2 the internal multiplexer switch on  
resistance is typically 1.6 k. The A/DIN1 and A/DIN2 mux  
on resistance is typically 750.

6.0 INPUT SOURCE RESISTANCE  
<
For low impedance voltage sources ( 600), the input  
charging current will decay, before the end of the S/H’s  
acquisition time of 2 µs (10 CCLK periods with fC = 5 MHz),  
to a value that will not introduce any conversion errors. For  
high source impedances, the S/H’s acquisition time can be  
increased to 18 or 34 CCLK periods. For less ADC resolution  
and/or slower CCLK frequencies the S/H’s acquisition time  
may be decreased to 6 CCLK periods. To determine the  
number of clock periods (Nc) required for the acquisition time  
with a specific source impedance for the various resolutions  
the following equations can be used:  
12 Bit + Sign NC = [RS + 2.3] x fC x 0.824  
8 Bit + Sign NC = [RS + 2.3] x fC x 0.57  
Where fC is the conversion clock (CCLK) frequency in MHz  
and RS is the external source resistance in k. As an ex-  
ample, operating with a resolution of 12 Bits+sign, a 5 MHz  
clock frequency and maximum acquistion time of 34 conver-  
sion clock periods the ADC’s analog inputs can handle a  
source impedance as high as 6 k. The acquisition time may  
also be extended to compensate for the settling or response  
time of external circuitry connected between the MUXOUT  
and A/DIN pins.

4.0 ANALOG INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE  
The ADC12030/2/4/8’s fully differential ADC generate a  
two’s complement output that is found by using the equa-  
tions shown below:  
The acquisition time tA is started by a falling edge of SCLK  
and ended by a rising edge of CCLK (see timing diagrams).  
If SCLK and CCLK are asynchronous one extra CCLK clock  
period may be inserted into the programmed acquisition time  
for synchronization. Therefore with asnychronous SCLK and  
CCLKs the acquisition time will change from conversion to  
conversion.

for (8-bit) resolution the Output Code =  
External capacitors (0.01 µF–0.1 µF) can be connected  
between the analog input pins, CH0–CH7, and analog  
ground to filter any noise caused by inductive pickup asso-  
ciated with long input leads. These capacitors will not de-  
grade the conversion accuracy.  
Round off to the nearest integer value between −4096 to  
4095 for 12-bit resolution and between −256 to 255 for 8-bit  
resolution if the result of the above equation is not a whole  
number.  
8.0 NOISE  
The leads to each of the analog multiplexer input pins should  
be kept as short as possible. This will minimize input noise  
and clock frequency coupling that can cause conversion  
errors. Input filtering can be used to reduce the effects of the  
noise sources.

Noise spikes on the VA and VD supply lines can cause  
conversion errors; the comparator will respond to the noise.  
The ADC is especially sensitive to any power supply spikes  
that occur during the auto-zero or linearity correction. The  
minimum power supply bypassing capacitors recommended  
are low inductance tantalum capacitors of 10 µF or greater  
paralleled with 0.1 µF monolithic ceramic capacitors. More or  
different bypassing may be necessary depending on the  
overall system requirements. Separate bypass capacitors

At the start of the acquisition window (tA) a charging current  
flows into or out of the analog input pins (A/DIN1 and  
A/DIN2) depending on the input voltage polarity. The analog  
input pins are CH0–CH7 and COM when A/DIN1 is tied to  
MUXOUT1 and A/DIN2 is tied to MUXOUT2. The peak value  
of this input current will depend on the actual input voltage

and noise.

10.0 GROUNDING  
The ADC12030/2/4/8’s performance can be maximized  
through proper grounding techniques. These include the use  
of separate analog and digital ground planes. The digital  
ground plane is placed under all components that handle  
digital signals, while the analog ground plane is placed under  
all components that handle analog signals. The digital and  
analog ground planes are connected together at only one  
Shown in Figure 18 is the ideal ground plane layout for the  
ADC12038 along with ideal placement of the bypass capaci-  
tors. The circuit board layout shown in Figure 18 uses three  
bypass capacitors: 0.01 µF (C1) and 0.1 µF (C2) surface  
mount capacitors and 10 µF (C3) tantalum capacitor.

FIGURE 18. Ideal Ground Plane  
11.0 CLOCK SIGNAL LINE ISOLATION  
13.0 THE AUTO-ZERO CYCLE  
The ADC12030/2/4/8’s performance is optimized by routing  
the analog input/output and reference signal conductors as  
far as possible from the conductors that carry the clock  
signals to the CCLK and SCLK pins. Ground traces parallel  
to the clock signal traces can be used on printed circuit  
boards to reduce clock signal interference on the analog  
input/output pins.  
To correct for any change in the zero (offset) error of the A/D,  
the auto-zero cycle can be used. It may be necessary to do  
an auto-zero cycle whenever the ambient temperature or the  
power supply voltage change significantly. (See the curves  
titled “Zero Error Change vs Ambient Temperature” and  
“Zero Error Change vs Supply Voltage” in the Typical Perfor-  
mance Characteristics.)  
12.0 THE CALIBRATION CYCLE  
14.0 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE  
A calibration cycle needs to be started after the power sup-  
plies, reference, and clock have been given enough time to  
stabilize after initial turn-on. During the calibration cycle,  
correction values are determined for the offset voltage of the  
sampled data comparator and any linearity and gain errors.  
These values are stored in internal RAM and used during an  
analog-to-digital conversion to bring the overall full-scale,  
offset, and linearity errors down to the specified limits.  
Many applications require the A/D converter to digitize AC  
signals, but the standard DC integral and differential nonlin-  
earity specifications will not accurately predict the A/D con-  
verter’s performance with AC input signals. The important  
specifications for AC applications reflect the converter’s abil-  
ity to digitize AC signals without significant spectral errors  
and without adding noise to the digitized signal. Dynamic  
characteristics such as signal-to-noise (S/N), signal-tonoise  
+ distortion ratio (S/(N + D)), effective bits, full power band-  
width, aperture time and aperture jitter are quantitative mea-  
sures of the A/D converter’s capability.  
±
Full-scale error typically changes 0.4 LSB over tempera-  
ture and linearity error changes even less; therefore it should  
be necessary to go through the calibration cycle only once  
after power up if the Power Supply Voltage and the ambient  
temperature do not change significantly (see the curves in  
the Typical Performance Characteristics).  
An A/D converter’s AC performance can be measured using  
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) methods. A sinusoidal wave-  
form is applied to the A/D converter’s input, and the trans-  
form is then performed on the digitized waveform. S/(N + D)  
and S/N are calculated from the resulting FFT data, and a  
spectral plot may also be obtained. Typical values for S/N

and the effective number of Bits (ENOB) is defined as:  
Application Hints (Continued)  
are shown in the table of Electrical Characteristics, and  
spectral plots of S/(N + D) are included in the typical perfor-  
mance curves.  
The A/D converter’s noise and distortion levels will change  
with the frequency of the input signal, with more distortion  
and noise occurring at higher signal frequencies. This can be  
seen in the S/(N + D) versus frequency curves.  
As an example, this device with a differential signed 5V,  
1 kHz sine wave input signal will typically have a S/(N + D) of  
77 dB, which is equivalent to 12.5 effective bits.  
15.0 AN RS232 SERIAL INTERFACE  
Effective number of bits can also be useful in describing the  
A/D’s noise performance. An ideal A/D converter will have  
some amount of quantization noise, determined by its reso-  
lution, which will yield an optimum S/N ratio given by the  
following equation:  
Shown on the following page is a schematic for an RS232  
interface to any IBM and compatible PCs. The DTR, RTS,  
and CTS RS232 signal lines are buffered via level transla-  
tors and connected to the ADC12038’s DI, SCLK, and DO  
pins, respectively. The D flip flop drives the CS control line.  
S/N = (6.02 x n + 1.76) dB  
where n is the A/D’s resolution in bits.  
S/(N + D) (or SINAD) is a combination of S/N (or SNR) and  
distortion and is considered to be an overall measure of an  
A/D converter performance. S/(N + D) is defined as:

A sample program, written in Microsoft QuickBasic, is shown  
on the next page. The program prompts for data mode select  
instruction to be sent to the A/D. This can be found from the  
Mode Programming table shown earlier. The data should be  
entered in “1”s and “0”s as shown in the table with DI0 first.  
Next the program prompts for the number of SCLKs required  
for the programmed mode select instruction. For instance, to  
send all “0”s to the A/D, selects CH0 as the +input, CH1 as  
the −input, 12-bit conversion, and 13-bit MSB first data  
output format (if the sign bit was not turned off by a previous  
instruction). This would require 13 SCLK periods since the  
output data format is 13 bits. The part powers up with No  
Auto Cal, No Auto Zero, 10 CCLK Acquisition Time, 12-bit  
conversion, data out with sign, power up, 12- or 13-bit MSB  
first, and user mode. Auto Cal, Auto Zero, Power Up and
