FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
234  
Synchronously Sample Four/Eight Channels  
Selectable Operating Modes:  
High-Speed: 52kSPS Data Rate, 30mW/ch  
Low-Power: 10kSPS Data Rate, 8mW/ch  
The ADS1174 (quad) and ADS1178 (octal) are  
multiple delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters  
(ADCs) with data rates up to 52k samples-per-second  
(SPS), which allow synchronous sampling of four and  
eight channels. These devices use identical  
packages, permitting drop-in expandability.  
AC Performance:  
25kHz Bandwidth  
97dB SNR  
The delta-sigma architecture offers near ideal 16-bit  
ac performance (97dB SNR, –105dB THD, 1LSB  
linearity) combined with 0.005dB passband ripple,  
and linear phase response.  
–105dB THD  
Digital Filter:  
Linear Phase Response  
Passband Ripple: ±0.005dB  
Stop Band Attenuation: 100dB  
The high-order, chopper- stabilized modulator  
achieves very low drift (4μV/°C offset, 4ppm/°C gain)  
and low noise (1LSBPP). The on-chip finite impulse  
Selectable SPI™ or Frame Sync Serial  
Interface  
response (FIR) filter provides  
a usable signal  
Simple Pin-Driven Control  
Low Sampling Aperture Error  
Specified from –40°C to +105°C  
Analog Supply: 5V  
bandwidth up to 90% of the Nyquist rate with 100dB  
of stop band attenuation while suppressing modulator  
and signal out-of-band noise.  
Two operating modes allow for optimization of speed  
and power: High-speed mode (32mW/Ch at 52kSPS),  
and Low-power mode (8mW/Ch at 10kSPS).  
I/O Supply: 1.8V to 3.3V  
Digital Core Supply: 1.8V  
A
SYNC input control pin allows the device  
conversions to be started and synchronized to an  
external event. SPI and Frame-Sync serial interfaces  
are supported. The device is fully specified over the  
extended industrial range (–40°C to +105°C) and is  
available in an HTQFP-64 PowerPAD™ package.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with  
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.  
ORDERING INFORMATION  
For the most current package and ordering information see the Package Option Addendum at the end of this  
document, or see the TI web site at www.ti.com.

OVERVIEW  
To allow tradeoffs between speed and power, two  
modes of operation are supported: High-Speed and  
Low-Power. Table 1 summarizes the performance of  
each mode.  
The ADS1174 (quad) and ADS1178 (octal) are 16-bit,  
delta-sigma ADCs. They offer the combination of  
excellent linearity, low noise, and low power  
consumption. Figure 1 shows the block diagram. Note  
that both devices are the same, except the ADS1174  
has four ADCs, and the ADS1178 has eight ADCs.  
The pinout and package of the ADS1178 is  
compatible with the ADS1174, permitting drop-in  
expandability. The converters are comprised of either  
four (ADS1174) or eight (ADS1178) advanced,  
6th-order, chopper-stabilized, delta-sigma modulators  
followed by low-ripple, linear phase FIR filters. The  
In High-Speed mode, the data rate is 52kSPS, and in  
Low-Power mode, the power dissipation is only  
8mW/channel at 10.5kSPS.  
The ADS1174/78 is configured by simply setting the  
appropriate I/O pins—there are no registers to  
program. Data is retrieved over a serial interface that  
supports both SPI and Frame-Sync formats. The  
ADS1174/78 has a daisy-chainable output and the  
ability to synchronize externally, so it can be used  
conveniently in systems requiring more than eight  
channels.  
modulators measure the differential input signal, VIN  
=
(AINP – AINN), against the differential reference,  
VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The digital filters receive  
the modulator signal and provide a low-noise digital  
output.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
Because the input signal is sampled at a very high  
rate, input signal aliasing does not occur until the  
input signal frequency is at the modulator sampling  
rate. This high sampling rate greatly relaxes the  
requirement of external antialiasing filters allowing  
very low passband phase errors.  
The ADS1174 and ADS1178 are delta/sigma ADCs  
consisting of independent converters that digitize  
input signals in parallel. The ADS1174 consists of  
four independent converters, while the ADS1178 has  
eight independent converters.  
The converter is composed of two main functional  
blocks to perform the ADC conversions: the  
modulator and the digital filter. The modulator  
samples the input signal together with sampling the  
reference voltage to produce a 1's density output  
stream. The density of the output stream is  
proportional to the analog input level relative to the  
reference voltage. The pulse stream is filtered by the  
internal digital filter where the output conversion  
result is produced.  
SAMPLING APERTURE MATCHING  
The converters of the ADS1174/78 operate from the  
same CLK input. The CLK input controls the timing of  
the modulator sampling instant. The converter is  
designed such that the sampling skew, or modulator  
sampling aperture match, between channels is  
controlled to within 200ps. Furthermore, the digital  
filters are synchronized to start the convolution phase  
at the same modulator clock cycle. This design  
results in excellent phase match among the  
ADS1174/78 channels.  
In operation, the signal inputs and reference inputs  
are sampled by the modulator at a high rate (typically  
64x higher than the final output data rate). The  
quantization noise of the modulator is moved to a  
higher frequency range where the internal digital filter  
removes it. This process results in very low levels of  
noise within the signal passband.  
The phase match of one four-channel ADS1174 to  
that of another ADS1174 may not have the same  
degree of sampling match (the same is true for the  
8-channel ADS1178). As a result of manufacturing  
variations, differences in internal propagation delay of  
the internal CLK signal coupled with differences of  
the arrival of the external CLK signal to each device  
may cause larger sampling match errors. Equal  
length CLK traces or external clock distribution  
devices can be used to control the arrival of the CLK  
signals to help reduce the sampling match error.

The digital filter sets the overall frequency response.  
The filter uses a multi-stage FIR topology to provide  
linear phase with minimal passband ripple and high  
stop band attenuation. The oversampling ratio of the  
digital filter (that is, the ratio of the modulator  
sampling to the output data rate: fMOD/fDATA) is 64 for  
both High-Speed and Low-Power modes.  
Figure 2 shows the frequency response of the  
ADS1174/78 normalized to fDATA. Figure 3 shows the  
passband ripple. The transition from passband to stop  
band is illustrated in Figure 4. The overall frequency  
response repeats at 64x multiples of the modulator  
frequency fMOD, as shown in Figure 5.

These image frequencies, if present in the signal and  
not externally filtered, will fold back (or alias) into the

PHASE RESPONSE  
DATA FORMAT  
The ADS1174/78 incorporates a multiple stage, linear  
phase digital filter. Linear phase filters exhibit  
constant delay time versus input frequency (constant  
group delay), which means the time delay from any  
instant of the input signal to the same instant of the  
output data is constant, and is independent of input  
signal frequency. This behavior results in essentially  
zero phase errors when analyzing multi-tone signals.  
The ADS1174/78 outputs 16 bits of data in two’s  
complement format.  
A positive full-scale input produces an ideal output  
code of 7FFFh, and the negative full-scale input  
produces an ideal output code of 8000h. The output  
clips at these codes for signals exceeding full-scale.  
Table 3 summarizes the ideal output codes for  
different input signals.  
SETTLING TIME  
Table 3. Ideal Output Code versus Input Signal  
As with frequency and phase response, the digital  
filter also determines settling time. Figure 6 shows  
the output settling behavior after a step change on  
the analog inputs normalized to conversion periods.  
The X-axis is given in units of conversion. Note that  
after the step change on the input occurs, the output  
data changes very little prior to 30 conversion  
periods. The output data is fully settled after 76  
conversion periods.

ANALOG INPUTS (AINP, AINN)  
The ADS1174/78 measures each differential input  
signal VIN = (AINP – AINN) against the common  
differential reference VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The  
AVDD AGND  
S1  
most positive measurable differential input is +VREF  
,
AINP  
AINN  
which produces the most positive digital output code  
of 7FFFh. Likewise, the most negative measurable  
differential input is –VREF, which produces the most  
negative digital output code of 8000h.  
S2  
9pF  
S1  
For optimum performance, the inputs of the  
ADS1174/78 are intended to be driven differentially.  
For single-ended input applications, one of the inputs  
(AINP or AINN) can be driven while the other input is  
fixed (typically, to AGND or +2.5V); fixing the input to  
+2.5V permits bipolar operation, thereby using the full  
range of the converter.  
AGND AVDD  
ESD Protection

While the ADS1174/78 measures the differential input  
signal, the absolute input voltage is also important.  
This is the voltage on either input (AINP or AINN)  
with respect to AGND. The range for this voltage is:  
tSAMPLE = 1/fMOD

If either input is taken below –0.4V or above (AVDD +  
0.4), ESD protection diodes on the inputs may turn  
on.

If these conditions are possible, external Schottky  
clamp diodes or series resistors may be required to  
limit the input current to safe levels (see Absolute

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUTS  
(VREFP, VREFN)  
If these conditions are possible, external Schottky  
clamp diodes or series resistors may be required to  
limit the input current to safe levels (see Absolute  
Maximum Ratings table).  
The voltage reference for the ADS1174/78 ADC is  
the differential voltage between VREFP and VREFN:  
VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The voltage reference is  
common to the four channels. The reference inputs  
use a structure similar to that of the analog inputs  
with the equivalent circuitry on the reference inputs  
shown in Figure 10. As with the analog inputs, the  
load presented by the switched capacitor can be  
modeled with an effective impedance, as shown in  
Figure 11. However, the reference input impedance  
depends on the number of active (enabled) channels  
in addition to fMOD. As a result of the change of  
reference input impedance caused by enabling and  
disabling channels, the regulation and settling time of  
the external reference should be noted, so as not to  
affect the readings of other channels.  
Note that the valid operating range of the reference  
inputs is limited to the following:  
–0.1V VREFN VREFP – 0.5V  
VREFN + 0.5V VREFP AVDD + 0.1V  
A high-quality reference voltage with the appropriate  
drive strength is essential for achieving the best  
performance from the ADS1174/78. Noise and drift  
on the reference degrade overall system  
performance. See the Application Information section  
for example reference circuits.  
CLOCK INPUT (CLK)  
The ADS1174/78 requires a clock input for operation.  
Each ADS1174/78 converter operates from the same  
clock input. At the maximum data rate, the clock input  
can be either 27MHz or 13.5MHz (5.4MHz, low  
power), determined by the setting of the CLKDIV  
input. The selection of the external clock frequency  
(fCLK) does not affect the resolution (the oversampling  
ratio, OSR, remains fixed) or power dissipation of the  
ADS1174/78. However, using a slower fCLK can  
reduce the power consumption of an external clock  
driver. The output data rate scales with clock  
frequency, down to a minimum clock frequency of  
fCLK = 100kHz. Table 5 summarizes the ratio of clock  
input frequency (fCLK) to data rate (fDATA), maximum  
data rate and corresponding maximum clock input for  
the two operating modes.

As with any high-speed data converter, a high-quality,

Crystal clock oscillators are the recommended clock  
source. Make sure to avoid excess ringing on the  
clock input; keeping the clock trace as short as  
possible using a 50series resistor, placed close to  
the source end, often helps.

ESD diodes protect the reference inputs. To keep

MODE SELECTION (MODE)  
SYNCHRONIZATION (SYNC)  
The ADS1174/78 supports two modes of operation:  
High-Speed and Low-Power. These modes offer  
optimization of speed or power. The mode selection  
is determined by the status of the digital input MODE  
pins, as shown in Table 6. The ADS1174/78  
constantly monitors the status of the MODE pin  
during operation.  
The ADS1174/78 can be synchronized by pulsing the  
SYNC pin low and then returning the pin high. When  
the pin goes low, the conversion process stops, and  
the internal counters used by the digital filter are  
reset. When the SYNC pin returns high, the  
conversion process restarts. Synchronization allows  
the conversion to be aligned with an external event,  
such as a reference timing pulse.  
Table 6. Mode Selection  
Since the converters of the ADS1174/78 operate in  
parallel from the same master clock and use the  
same SYNC input control, they are, by default, in  
synchronization with each other. The sampling  
aperture match among the channels is 200ps  
(typical). However, the synchronization of multiple  
ADS1174/78s is somewhat different. At device  
power-on, variations in internal reset thresholds from  
device to device may result in uncertainty in  
conversion timing.

When using the SPI protocol, DRDY is held high after  
a mode change occurs until settled (or valid) data are  
ready, as shown in Figure 12 and Table 7.  
In Frame-Sync protocol, the DOUT pins are held low  
after a mode change occurs until settled data are  
ready, as shown in Figure 12 and Table 7. Data can  
be read from the device to detect when DOUT  
changes to logic 1, indicating valid data.  
The SYNC pin can be used to synchronize multiple  
ADS1174/78s to within the same CLK cycle.

After synchronization, indication of valid data  
depends on the whether SPI or Frame-Sync format  
was used.  
In the Frame-Sync format, DOUT goes low as soon  
as SYNC is taken low; see Figure 14. After SYNC is  
returned high, DOUT stays low while the digital filter  
is settling. Once valid data are ready for retrieval,  
DOUT begins to output valid data. For proper  
synchronization, FSYNC, SCLK, and CLK must be  
established before taking SYNC high, and must then  
remain running.  
In the SPI format, DRDY goes high as soon as SYNC  
is taken low; see Figure 13. After SYNC is returned  
high, DRDY stays high while the digital filter is  
settling. Once valid data are ready for retrieval,  
DRDY goes low.

POWER-DOWN (PWDN)  
2. Wait for 129/fDATA after taking the PWDN pins  
high.  
The ADS1174/78 measurement channels can be  
independently powered down by use of the PWDN  
inputs. To enter the power-down mode, take the  
respective PWDN pin low. Power-down occurs after  
two fCLK cycles have elapsed. This delay guards  
against false transitions caused by external noise. To  
exit power-down, return the corresponding PWDN pin  
high. Note that when all channels are powered down,  
the ADS1174/78 enters a microwatt (μW) power state  
where all internal biasing is powered-down. In this  
event, the TEST[1:0] input pins must be driven; all  
other input pins can float (the ADS1174/78 outputs  
remain driven).  
3. Detect for non-zero data in the powered-up  
channel.  
After powering-up one or more channels, the  
channels are synchronized to each other. It is not  
necessary to use the SYNC pin to synchronize them.  
When a channel is powered down in TDM data  
format, the data for the powered-down channel will

mode) or be replaced by shifting the data from the  
next channel into the vacated data position  
(dynamic-position TDM data mode).  
As shown in Figure 15 and Table 10, a maximum of  
129 conversion cycles must elapse before reading  
data after exiting power-down. The data from  
channels already running are not affected. The user  
software can perform the required delay time in the  
following ways:

Table 11. Data Output Format  
In the SPI format, this pin functions as the DRDY  
output. It goes low when data are ready for retrieval  
and then returns high on the falling edge of the first  
subsequent SCLK. If data are not retrieved (that is,  
SCLK is held low), DRDY will pulse high just before  
the next conversion data are ready, as shown in  
Figure 16. The new data are loaded within one CLK  
cycle before DRDY goes low. All data must be shifted  
out before this time to avoid being overwritten.

SERIAL INTERFACE PROTOCOLS  
DRDY  
Data are retrieved from the ADS1174/78 using the  
serial interface. Two protocols are available: SPI and  
Frame-Sync. The same pins are used for both  
interfaces: SCLK, DRDY/FSYNC, DOUT[4:1] (or  
DOUT[8:1] for the ADS1178), and DIN. The  
FORMAT[2:0] pins select the desired interface  
protocol.  
SCLK  
Figure 16. DRDY Timing with No Readback  
DOUT  
In Discrete Data Output mode, the conversion data  
are output on the individual DOUT pins (DOUT1,  
DOUT2, etc.), whereas in TDM mode, data are output  
only on DOUT1. The MSB data are valid on  
DOUT[4:1]/[8:1] when DRDY goes low. The  
subsequent bits are shifted out with each falling edge  
of SCLK. If daisy-chaining (TDM mode), the data  
shifted in using DIN will appear on DOUT1 after all  
channel data have been shifted out.  
SPI SERIAL INTERFACE  
The SPI-compatible format is a simple read-only  
interface. Data ready for retrieval are indicated by the  
falling DRDY output and are shifted out on the falling  
edge of SCLK, MSB first. The interface can be  
daisy-chained using the DIN input when using  
multiple ADS1174/78s. See the Daisy-Chaining  
section for more information.  
DIN  
SCLK  
This input is used when multiple ADS1174/78s are to  
be daisy-chained together. The DOUT1 pin of the first  
device connects to the DIN pin of the next, etc. It can  
be used with either the SPI or Frame-Sync formats.  
Data are shifted in on the falling edge of SCLK. When  
using only one ADS1174/78, tie DIN low. See the  
Daisy-Chaining section for more information.  
The serial clock (SCLK) features a Schmitt-triggered  
input and shifts out data on DOUT on the falling  
edge. It also shifts in data on the falling edge on DIN  
when this pin is being used for daisy-chaining. The  
device shifts data out on the falling edge and the user  
typically shifts this data in on the rising edge. Even  
though the SCLK input has hysteresis, it is

DRDY/FSYNC (Frame-Sync Format)  
FRAME-SYNC SERIAL INTERFACE  
In Frame-Sync format, this pin is used as the FSYNC  
input. The frame-sync input (FSYNC) sets the frame  
period which must be same as the data rate. The  
required number of fCLK cycles to each FSYNC period  
depends on the mode selection and the CLKDIN  
input. Table 5 indicates the number of CLK cycles to  
each frame (fCLK/fDATA). If the FSYNC period is not  
the proper value, data readback will be corrupted.  
Frame-Sync format is similar to the interface often  
used on audio ADCs. It operates in slave  
fashion—the user must supply framing signal FSYNC  
(similar to the left/right clock on stereo audio ADCs)  
and the serial clock SCLK (similar to the bit clock on  
audio ADCs). The data is output MSB first or  
left-justified. When using Frame-Sync format, the  
FSYNC and SCLK inputs must be continuously  
running with the required relationships shown in the  
Frame-Sync Timing Requirements.  
DOUT  
In Discrete Data Output mode, the conversion data  
are shifted out on the individual DOUT pins (DOUT1,  
DOUT2, etc.), whereas in TDM mode, data are output  
only on DOUT1. The MSB data become valid on  
DOUT[4:1]/[8:1] on the SCLK rising edge prior to  
FSYNC going high. The subsequent bits are shifted  
out with each falling edge of SCLK. If daisy-chaining  
(TDM mode), the data shifted in using DIN will appear  
on DOUT1 after all channel data have been shifted  
out (that is, 4 channels × 16 bits per channel = 64 bits  
for the ADS1174, and 8 channels × 16 bits per  
channel = 128 bits for the ADS1178).  
SCLK  
The serial clock (SCLK) features a Schmitt-triggered  
input and shifts out data on DOUT on the falling  
edge. It also shifts in data on the falling edge on DIN  
when this pin is being used for daisy-chaining. Even  
though SCLK has hysteresis, it is recommended to  
keep SCLK as clean as possible to prevent glitches  
from accidentally shifting the data. When using  
Frame-Sync format, SCLK must run continuously. If it  
is shut down, the data readback will be corrupted.  
The number of SCLKs within a frame period (FSYNC  
clock) can be any power of two ratio of clock cycles  
(1, 1/2, 1/4, etc.), as long as the number of cycles is  
sufficient to shift the data output from all channels  
within one data frame.  
DIN  
This input is used when multiple ADS1174/78s are to  
be daisy-chained together. It can be used with either  
SPI or Frame-Sync formats. Data are shifted in on  
the falling edge of SCLK. When using only one  
ADS1174/78, tie DIN low. See the Daisy-Chaining  
section for more information.

TDM Mode  
TDM Mode, Fixed-Position Data  
In TDM (time division multiplexed) data output mode,  
the data for all channels are shifted out, in series, on  
a single pin (DOUT1). As shown in Figure 17, the  
data from channel 1 are shifted out first, followed by  
channel 2 data, etc. After the data from the last  
channel are shifted out (channel 4 for the ADS1174  
or channel 8 for the ADS1178), the data from the DIN  
input follow. The DIN is used to daisy-chain the data  
In this TDM data output mode, the data position of  
the channels remains fixed, regardless of whether  
channels are disabled. If a channel is powered-down,  
data are forced to zero but occupies the same  
position within the data stream. Figure 18 shows the  
data stream with channel  
powered-down.

TDM Mode, Dynamic Position Data  
Discrete Data Output Mode  
In this TDM data output mode, when a channel is  
powered-down, the data from higher channels shift  
one position in the data stream to fill the vacated data  
slot. Figure 19 shows the data stream with channel 1  
and channel 3 powered-down.  
In Discrete data output mode, the channel data are  
shifted out in parallel using individual channel data  
output pins DOUT[4:1] for the ADS1174, or

the channel data are forced to zero. The data are  
also forced to zero for powered-down channels.

DAISY-CHAINING  
The maximum number of channels that may be  
daisy-chained in this way is limited by the frequency  
of fSCLK, the mode selection, and the CLKDIV input.  
The frequency of fSCLK must be high enough to  
completely shift the data out from all channels within  
one fDATA period. Table 12 lists the maximum number  
Multiple ADS1174/78s can be daisy-chained together  
to simplify the serial interface connections. The  
DOUT1 data output pin of one ADS1174/78 is  
connected to the DIN of the next ADS1174/78. As  
Figure 21 illustrates, the DOUT1 pin of device 1  
provides the output data to a controller, and the DIN  
of device 2 is grounded. Figure 22 describes the data  
format when reading data back in a daisy-chain

To increase the number of data channels possible in  
a chain, a segmented DOUT scheme may be used,  
producing two data streams. Figure 23 illustrates four  
ADS1178s, with a pair of ADS1178s daisy-chained  
together. The channel data of each daisy-chained  
pair is shifted out in parallel and is received by the  
processor through independent data channels.  
Whether the interface protocol is SPI or Frame-Sync,  
it is recommended to synchronize all devices by tying  
the SYNC inputs together. When synchronized in SPI  
protocol, it is only necessary to monitor the DRDY  
output of one ADS1178.  
In Frame-Sync interface protocol, the data from all  
devices are ready on the rising edge of FSYNC.  
Since DOUT1 and DIN are both shifted on the falling  
edge of SCLK, the propagation delay on DOUT1  
creates a setup time for DIN. Minimize the skew in  
SCLK to avoid timing violations.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE  
Figure 24 shows the power-up sequence of the  
ADS1174/78. The power supplies can be sequenced  
in any order. Each supply has an internal reset circuit  
where the outputs are summed together to generate  
an internal global power-on reset. After the supplies  
have exceeded the reset thresholds, 218 fCLK cycles  
are counted before the converter initiates the  
conversion process. After all the fCLK cycles are  
counted, the data for 128 conversions is suppressed  
by the ADS1174/78 to allow output of fully-settled  
data. In SPI protocol, DRDY is held high during this  
interval. In frame-sync protocol, DOUT is forced to  
zero. The power supplies should be applied before  
any analog or digital pin is driven.  
The ADS1174/78 has three power supplies: AVDD,  
DVDD, and IOVDD. AVDD is the analog supply that  
powers the modulator, DVDD is the digital supply that  
powers the digital core, and IOVDD is the digital I/O  
power supply. The IOVDD and DVDD power supplies  
can be tied together if desired. To achieve rated  
performance, it is critical that the power supplies are  
bypassed with 0.1μF and +10μF capacitors placed as  
close as possible to the supply pins. A single 1μF  
ceramic capacitor may be substituted in place of the  
two capacitors.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
5. Reference Inputs: It is recommended to use a  
minimum 10μF tantalum with a 0.1μF ceramic  
capacitor directly across the reference inputs,  
VREFP and VREFN. The reference input should  
be driven by a low-impedance source. For best  
performance, the reference should have less than  
3μVRMS in-band noise. For references with noise  
higher than this, external reference filtering may  
be necessary.  
To obtain the specified performance from the  
ADS1174/78, the following layout and component  
guidelines should be considered.  
1. Power Supplies: The device requires three  
power supplies for operation: DVDD, IOVDD, and  
AVDD. The range for DVDD is 1.65V to 1.95V;  
the range of IOVDD is 1.65V to 3.6V; and AVDD  
is restricted to 4.75V to 5.25V. For all supplies,  
use a 10μF tantalum capacitor, bypassed with a  
0.1μF ceramic capacitor, placed close to the  
device pins. Alternatively, a single 10μF ceramic  
capacitor can be used. The supplies should be  
relatively free of noise and should not be shared  
with devices that produce voltage spikes (such as  
relays, LED display drivers, etc.). If a switching  
power supply source is used, the voltage ripple  
should be low (< 2mV) and the switching  
frequency outside the passband of the converter.  
The power supplies may be sequenced in any  
order.  
6. Analog Inputs: The analog input pins must be  
driven differentially to achieve specified  
performance.  
A
true differential driver or  
transformer (for ac applications) can be used for  
this purpose. Route the analog inputs tracks  
(AINP, AINN) as a pair from the buffer to the  
converter using short, direct tracks and away  
from digital tracks.  
A 1nF to 10nF capacitor should be used directly  
across the analog input pins, AINP and AINN. A  
low-k dielectric (such as COG or film type) should  
be used to maintain low THD. Capacitors from  
each analog input to ground can be used. They  
should be no larger than 1/10 the size of the  
difference capacitor (typically 100pF) to preserve  
the AC common-mode performance.  
2. Ground Plane: A single ground plane connecting  
both AGND and DGND pins can be used. If  
separate digital and analog grounds are used,  
connect the grounds together at the converter.  
3. Digital Inputs: It is recommended to  
source-terminate the digital inputs to the device  
with 50series resistors. The resistors should be  
placed close to the driving end of the digital  
source (oscillator, logic gates, DSP, etc.) This  
placement helps to reduce ringing on the digital  
lines, which may lead to degraded ADC  
performance.  
7. Component Placement: Place the power supply,  
analog input, and reference input bypass  
capacitors as close as possible to the device  
pins. This layout is particularly important for the  
small-value ceramic capacitors. Surface-mount  
components are recommended to avoid the

4. Analog/Digital Circuits: Place analog circuitry  
(input buffer, reference) and associated tracks  
together, keeping them away from digital circuitry  
(DSP, microcontroller, logic). Avoid crossing  
digital tracks across analog tracks to reduce  
noise coupling and crosstalk.

PowerPAD THERMALLY-ENHANCED  
PACKAGING  
die pad to be attached to the PCB using standard  
flow soldering techniques. This soldering allows  
efficient attachment to the PCB and permits the board  
structure to be used as a heat-sink for the package.  
Using a thermal pad identical in size to the die pad  
and vias connected to the PCB ground plane, the  
board designer can now implement power packaging  
without additional thermal hardware (for example,  
external heat sinks) or the need for specialized  
assembly instructions.  
The PowerPAD concept is implemented in standard  
epoxy resin package material. The integrated circuit  
is attached to the leadframe die pad using thermally  
conductive epoxy. The package is molded so that the  
leadframe die pad is exposed at a surface of the  
package. This exposure provides an extremely low  
thermal resistance to the path between the IC  
junction and the exterior case. The external surface  
of the leadframe die pad is located on the printed  
circuit board (PCB) side of the package, allowing the  
Figure 29 illustrates a cross-section view of a  
PowerPAD package.

PowerPAD PCB Layout Considerations for the  
ADS1174/78  
The via connections to the thermal pad and internal  
ground plane should be plated completely around the  
hole, as opposed to the typical web or spoke thermal  
relief connection. Plating entirely around the thermal  
via provides the most efficient thermal connection to  
the ground plane.  
Figure 30 shows the recommended layer structure for  
thermal management when using  
a PowerPad  
package on a 4-layer PCB design. Note that the  
thermal pad is placed on both the top and bottom  
sides of the board. The ground plane is used as the  
heat-sink, while the power plane is thermally isolated  
from the thermal vias.  
Additional PowerPAD Package Information  
Texas Instruments publishes the PowerPAD  
Thermally Enhanced Package Application Report (TI  
literature number SLMA002), available for download  
at www.ti.com, which provides a more detailed  
discussion of PowerPAD design and layout  
considerations. Before attempting a board layout with  
the ADS1174/78, it is recommended that the  
hardware engineer and/or layout designer be familiar  
with the information contained in this document.  
Figure 31 shows the required thermal pad etch  
pattern for the 64-lead HTQFP package used for the  
ADS1174/78. Nine 13mil (0.33mm) thermal vias  
plated with one ounce of copper are placed within the  
thermal pad area for the purpose of connecting the  
pad to the ground plane layer. The ground plane is  
used as a heatsink in this application. It is very  
important that the thermal via diameter be no larger  
than 13mils in order to avoid solder wicking during  
the reflow process. Solder wicking results in thermal  
voids that reduce heat dissipation efficiency and  
hamper heat flow away from the IC die.
