GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7938-6 is a 12-bit high speed, low power, successive approximation (SAR) ADC. The part operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput rates up to 625 kSPS. The part contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, differential track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input frequencies up to 50 MHz. The AD7938-6 features eight analog input channels with a channel sequencer that allows a preprogrammed selection of channels to be converted sequentially. The part can operate with either single-ended, fully differential, or pseudodifferential analog inputs. The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using standard control inputs that allow easy interfacing with microprocessors and DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of CONVST and the conversion is also initiated at this point. The AD7938-6 has an accurate on-chip 2.5 V reference that can be used as the reference source for the analog-to-digital conversion. Alternatively, this pin can be overdriven to provide an external reference.

Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V. All timing specifications given above are with a 25 pF load capacitance (see Figure 35, Figure 36, Figure 37, and Figure 38). The time required for the output to cross 0.4 V or 2.4 V. 3 t14 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V. The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 25 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t14, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

Table 4. Pin Function Description
Pin No 1 to 8 Mnemonic DB0 to DB7 Function Data Bits 0 to 7. Three-state parallel digital I/O pins that provide the conversion result and also allow the control and shadow registers to be programmed. These pins are controlled by CS, RD, and WR. The logic high/low voltage levels for these pins are determined by the VDRIVE input. Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the parallel interface of the AD7938-6 operates. This pin should be decoupled to DGND. The voltage at this pin may be different to that at VDD but should never exceed VDD by more than 0.3 V. Digital Ground. This is the ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7938-6. This pin should connect to the DGND plane of a system. The DGND and AGND voltages should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. Data Bit 8/High Byte Enable. When W/B is high, this pin acts as Data Bit 8, a three-state I/O pin that is controlled by CS, RD, and WR. When W/B is low, this pin acts as the high byte enable pin. When HBEN is low, the low byte of data being written to or read from the AD7938-6 is on DB0 to DB7. When HBEN is high, the top four bits of the data being written to or read from the AD7938-6 are on DB0 to DB3. When reading from the device, DB4 to DB6 of the high byte contains the ID of the channel to which the conversion result corresponds (see the channel address bits in Table 8). When writing to the device, DB4 to DB7 of the high byte must be all 0s. Data Bits 9 to 11. Three-state parallel digital I/O pins that provide the conversion result and also allow the control and shadow registers to be programmed in word mode. These pins are controlled by CS, RD, and WR. The logic high/low voltage levels for these pins are determined by the VDRIVE input. Busy Output. Logic output indicating the status of the conversion. The BUSY output goes high following the falling edge of CONVST and stays high for the duration of the conversion. Once the conversion is complete and the result is available in the output register, the BUSY output goes low. The track-and-hold returns to track mode just prior to the falling edge of BUSY on the 13th rising edge of SCLK, see Figure 35. Master Clock Input. The clock source for the conversion process is applied to this pin. Conversion time for the AD7938-6 takes 13 clock cycles + t2. The frequency of the master clock input therefore determines the conversion time and achievable throughput rate. The CLKIN signal may be a continuous or burst clock. Conversion Start Input. A falling edge on CONVST is used to initiate a conversion. The track-and-hold goes from track to hold mode on the falling edge of CONVST and the conversion process is initiated at this point. Following power-down, when operating in autoshutdown or autostandby modes, a rising edge on CONVST is used to power-up the device. Write Input. Active low logic input used in conjunction with CS to write data to the internal registers. Read Input. Active low logic input used in conjunction with CS to access the conversion result. The conversion result is placed on the data bus following the falling edge of RD read while CS is low. Chip Select. Active low logic input used in conjunction with RD and WR to read conversion data or to write data to the internal registers.

AD7938-6
Pin No 21 Mnemonic AGND Function Analog Ground. This is the ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7938-6. All analog input signals and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. The AGND and DGND voltages should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. Reference Input/Output. This pin is connected to the internal reference and is the reference source for the ADC. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V and this appears at this pin. This pin can be overdriven by an external reference. The input voltage range for the external reference is 0.1 V to VDD; however, care must be taken to ensure that the analog input range does not exceed VDD + 0.3 V. See the Reference Section. Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 7. Eight analog input channels that are multiplexed into the on-chip track-andhold. The analog inputs can be programmed to be eight single-ended inputs, four fully differential pairs, four pseudo-differential pairs, or seven pseudo-differential inputs by setting the MODE bits in the control register appropriately (see Table 8). The analog input channel to be converted can either be selected by writing to the address bits (ADD2 to ADD0) in the control register prior to the conversion or the on-chip sequencer can be used. The SEQ and SHDW bits in conjunction with the address bits in the control register allow the shadow register to be programmed. The input range for all input channels can either be 0 V to VREF or 0 V to 2 x VREF, and the coding can be binary or twos complement, depending on the states of the RANGE and CODING bits in the control register. Any unused input channels should be connected to AGND to avoid noise pickup. Power Supply Input. The VDD range for the AD7938-6 is 2.7 V to 5.25 V. The supply should be decoupled to AGND with a 0.1 F capacitor and a 10 F tantalum capacitor. Word/Byte Input. When this input is logic high, data is transferred to and from the AD7938-6 in 12-bit words on Pins DB0 to DB11. When this pin is logic low, byte transfer mode is enabled. Data and the channel ID are transferred on Pins DB0 to DB7, and Pin DB8/HBEN assumes its HBEN functionality. Unused data lines when operating in byte transfer mode should be tied off to DGND.

AD7938-6 TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB above the last code transition. Differential Nonlinearity This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC. Offset Error This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . .000) to (00 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., AGND + 1 LSB. Offset Error Match This is the difference in offset error between any two channels. Gain Error This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . .110) to (111 . . . 111) from the ideal (i.e., VREF - 1 LSB) after the offset error has been adjusted out. Gain Error Match This is the difference in gain error between any two channels. Zero-Code Error This applies when using the twos complement output coding option, in particular to the 2 x VREF input range with -VREF to +VREF biased about the VREFIN point. It is the deviation of the mid scale transition (all 0s to all 1s) from the ideal VIN voltage, i.e., VREF. Zero-Code Error Match This is the difference in zero-code error between any two channels. Positive Gain Error This applies when using the twos complement output coding option, in particular to the 2 x VREF input range with -VREF to +VREF biased about the VREFIN point. It is the deviation of the last code transition (011. . .110) to (011 .. . 111) from the ideal (i.e., +VREF - 1 LSB) after the zero-code error has been adjusted out. Positive Gain Error Match This is the difference in positive gain error between any two channels. Negative Gain Error This applies when using the twos complement output coding option, in particular to the 2 x VREF input range with -VREF to +VREF biased about the VREF point. It is the deviation of the first code transition (100 . . . 000) to (100 . . . 001) from the ideal (i.e., -VREFIN + 1 LSB) after the zero-code error has been adjusted out. Negative Gain Error Match This is the difference in negative gain error between any two channels. Channel-to-Channel Isolation Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a fullscale sine wave signal to all seven nonselected input channels and applying a 50 kHz signal to the selected channel. The channel-to-channel isolation is defined as the ratio of the power of the 50 kHz signal on the selected channel to the power of the noise signal on the unselected channels that appears in the FFT of this channel. The noise frequency on the unselected channels varies from 40 kHz to 740 kHz. The noise amplitude is at 2 x VREF, while the signal amplitude is at 1 x VREF. Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) PSRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC VDD supply of frequency fS. The frequency of the noise varies from 1 kHz to 1 MHz. PSRR (dB) = 10log(Pf/PfS) Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output; PfS is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output. Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV p-p sine wave applied to the common-mode voltage of VIN+ and VIN- of frequency fS as CMRR (dB) = 10log (Pf/PfS) Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output; PfS is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output. Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode at the end of conversion. The track-and-hold acquisition time is the time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach its final value, within 1/2 LSB, after the end of conversion.

AD7938-6
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD) This is the measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) at the output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB Thus, for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7938-6, it is defined as Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output spectrum (up to fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it is a noise peak. Intermodulation Distortion With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa nfb where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation distortion terms are those for which neither m nor n are equal to 0. For example, the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa - fb), while the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa - fb), (fa + 2fb) and (fa - 2fb).
THD (dB ) = -20log
V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2 V1
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the sixth harmonics.
The AD7938-6 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used. In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves while the third-order terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is as per the THD specification where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the fundamentals expressed in dBs.

AD7938-6 ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The AD7938-6 has two on-chip registers that are necessary for the operation of the device. These are the control register, which is used to set up different operating conditions, and the shadow register, which is used to program the analog input channels to be converted.
CONTROL REGISTER
The control register on the AD7938-6 is a 12-bit, write-only register. Data is written to this register using the CS and WR pins. The control register is shown below and the functions of the bits are described in Table 6. At power up, the default bit settings in the control register are all 0s.
Table 5. Control Register Bits
MSB DB11 PM1 DB10 PM0 DB9 CODING DB8 REF DB7 ADD2 DB6 ADD1 DB5 ADD0 DB4 MODE1 DB3 MODE0 DB2 SHDW DB1 SEQ LSB DB0 RANGE
Table 6. Control Register Bit Function Description
Bit No. 11, 10 9 8 Mnemonic PM1, PM0 CODING REF Description Power Management Bits. These two bits are used to select the power mode of operation. The user can choose between either normal mode or various power-down modes of operation as shown in Table 7. This bit selects the output coding of the conversion result. If this bit is set to 0, the output coding is straight (natural) binary. If this bit is set to 1, the output coding is twos complement. This bit selects whether the internal or external reference is used to perform the conversion. If this bit is Logic 0, an external reference should be applied to the VREF pin, and if this bit is Logic 1, the internal reference is selected (see the Reference Section). These three address bits are used to either select which analog input channel is converted in the next conversion if the sequencer is not used, or to select the final channel in a consecutive sequence when the sequencer is used as described in Table 9. The selected input channel is decoded as shown in Table 8. The two mode pins select the type of analog input on the eight VIN pins. The AD7938-6 can have either eight single-ended inputs, four fully differential inputs, four pseudo-differential inputs, or seven pseudo-differential inputs (see Table 8). The SHDW bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the SEQ bit to control the sequencer function and access the SHDW register (see Table 9). The SEQ bit in the control register is used in conjunction with the SHDW bit to control the sequencer function and access the SHDW register (see Table 9). This bit selects the analog input range of the AD7938-6. If it is set to 0, then the analog input range extends from 0 V to VREF. If it is set to 1, then the analog input range extends from 0 V to 2 x VREF. When this range is selected, AVDD must be 4.75 V to 5.25 V if a 2.5 V reference is used; otherwise, care must be taken to ensure that the analog input remains within the supply rails. See Analog Inputs section for more information.

When operating in autoshutdown mode, the AD7938-6 enters full shutdown mode at the end of each conversion. In this mode, all circuitry is powered down. When the AD7938-6 enters this mode, all circuitry is powered down except for the reference and reference buffer. This mode is similar to autoshutdown mode, but it allows the part to power-up in 7 s (or 600 ns if an external reference is used). See the Power Modes of Operation section for more information. When the AD7938-6 enters this mode, all circuitry is powered down. The information in the control register is retained.

SEQUENCER OPERATION
The configuration of the SEQ and SHDW bits in the control register allows the user to select a particular mode of operation of the sequencer function. Table 9 outlines the four modes of operation of the sequencer.
Table 9. Sequence Selection
SEQ 0 SHDW 0 Sequence Type This configuration is selected when the sequence function is not used. The analog input channel selected on each individual conversion is determined by the contents of the channel address bits, ADD2 to ADD0, in each prior write operation. This mode of operation reflects the traditional operation of a multichannel ADC, without the sequencer function being used, where each write to the AD7938-6 selects the next channel for conversion. This configuration selects the shadow register for programming. The following write operation loads the data on DB0 to DB7 to the shadow register. This programs the sequence of channels to be converted continuously after each CONVST falling edge (see the shadow register description and Table 10). If the SEQ and SHADOW bits are set in this way, the sequence function is not interrupted upon completion of the write operation. This allows other bits in the control register to be altered between conversions while in a sequence without terminating the cycle. This configuration is used in conjunction with the channel address bits (ADD2 to ADD0) to program continuous conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels from Channel 0 through to a selected final channel as determined by the channel address bits in the control register.

SHADOW REGISTER
The shadow register on the AD7938-6 is an 8-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from DB0 to DB7 on the rising edge of WR. The eight LSBs load into the shadow register. The information is written into the shadow register provided that the SEQ and SHDW bits in the control register were set to 0 and 1, respectively, in the previous write to the control register. Each bit represents an analog input from Channel 0 through Channel 7. A sequence of channels may be selected through which the AD7938-6 cycles with each consecutive conversion after the write to the shadow register. To select a sequence of channels to be converted, if operating in single-ended mode or Pseudo Mode 2, the associated channel bit in the shadow register must be set for each required analog input. When operating in differential mode or Pseudo Mode 1, the associated pair of channels' bits must be set for each pair of analog inputs required in the sequence. With each consecutive CONVST pulse after the sequencer has been set up, the AD7938-6 progresses through the selected channels in ascending order, beginning with the lowest channel. This continues until a write operation occurs with the SEQ and SHDW bits configured in any way except 1, 0 (see Table 9). When a sequence is set up in differential or Pseudo Mode 1, the ADC does not convert on the inverse pairs (i.e., VIN1, VIN0). The bit functions of the shadow register are outlined in Table 10. See the Analog Input Selection section for further information on using the sequencer.

AD7938-6 CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7938-6 is a fast, 8-channel, 12-bit, single-supply, successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. The part can operate from a 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput rates up to 625 kSPS. The AD7938-6 provides the user with an on-chip track-andhold, an accurate internal reference, an analog-to-digital converter, and a parallel interface housed in a 32-lead LFCSP or TQFP package. The AD7938-6 has eight analog input channels that can be configured to be eight single-ended inputs, four fully differential pairs, four pseudo-differential pairs, or seven pseudo-differential inputs with respect to one common input. There is an on-chip user-programmable channel sequencer that allows the user to select a sequence of channels through which the ADC can progress and cycle with each consecutive falling edge of CONVST. The analog input range for the AD7938-6 is 0 to VREF or 0 to 2 x VREF depending on the status of the RANGE bit in the control register. The output coding of the ADC can be either binary or twos complement, depending on the status of the CODING bit in the control register. The AD7938-6 provides flexible power management options to allow the user to achieve the best power performance for a given throughput rate. These options are selected by programming the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the control register. When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 15), SW3 opens and SW1 and SW2 move to Position B, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. Both inputs are disconnected once the conversion begins. The control logic and the charge redistribution DACs are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor arrays to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC's output code. The output impedances of the sources driving the VIN+ and the VIN- pins must match; otherwise, the two inputs have different settling times, which result in errors.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding for the AD7938-6 is either straight binary or twos complement, depending on the status of the CODING bit in the control register. The designed code transitions occur at successive LSB values (i.e., 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on) and the LSB size is VREF/4096 . The ideal transfer characteristics of the AD7938-6 for both straight binary and twos complement output coding are shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17, respectively.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7938-6 is a successive approximation ADC based around two capacitive DACs. Figure 14 and Figure 15 show simplified schematics of the ADC in acquisition and conversion phase, respectively. The ADC comprises of control logic, a SAR, and two capacitive DACs. Both figures show the operation of the ADC in differential/pseudo-differential mode. Single-ended mode operation is similar but VIN- is internally tied to AGND. In acquisition phase, SW3 is closed, SW1 and SW2 are in Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling capacitor arrays acquire the differential signal on the input.

ANALOG INPUT STRUCTURE
Figure 19 shows the equivalent circuit of the analog input structure of the AD7938-6 in differential/pseudo differential mode. In single-ended mode, VIN- is internally tied to AGND. The four diodes provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signals never exceed the supply rails by more than 300 mV. This causes these diodes to become forward-biased and starts conducting into the substrate. These diodes can conduct up to 10 mA without causing irreversible damage to the part.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 18 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7938-6. The AGND and DGND pins are connected together at the device for good noise suppression. The VREFIN/VREFOUT pin is decoupled to AGND with a 0.47 F capacitor to avoid noise pickup if the internal reference is used. Alternatively, VREFIN/VREFOUT can be connected to an external reference source, and in this case, the reference pin should be decoupled with a 0.1 F capacitor. In both cases, the analog input range can either be 0 V to VREF (RANGE bit = 0) or 0 V to 2 x VREF (RANGE bit = 1). The analog input configuration can be either eight single-ended inputs, four differential pairs, four pseudodifferential pairs, or seven pseudo-differential inputs (see Table 8). The VDD pin is connected to either a 3 V or 5 V supply. The voltage applied to the VDRIVE input controls the voltage of the digital interface and here, it is connected to the same 3 V supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3 V logic interface (see the Digital Inputs section).
0.1F 10F 3V/5V SUPPLY
The C1 capacitors in Figure 19 are typically 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistors are lumped components made up of the on resistance of the switches. The value of these resistors is typically about 100 . The C2 capacitors are the ADC's sampling capacitors and have a capacitance of 40 pF typically. For ac applications, removing high frequency components from the analog input signal is recommended by the use of an RC low-pass filter on the relevant analog input pins. In applications where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical, the analog input should be driven from a low impedance source. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC. This may necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function of the particular application.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated. The THD increases as the source impedance increases and performance degrades. Figure 20 and Figure 21 show a graph of the THD vs. source impedance with a 50 kHz input tone for both VDD = 5 V and 3 V in single-ended mode and differential mode, respectively.

ANALOG INPUTS

The user can choose either eight single-ended inputs, four fully differential pairs, four pseudo-differential pairs, or seven pseudo-differential inputs. The analog input configuration is chosen by setting the MODE0/MODE1 bits in the internal control register (see Table 8).

Single-Ended Mode
The AD7938-6 can have eight single-ended analog input channels by setting the MODE0 and MODE1 bits in the control register to 0. In applications where the signal source has a high impedance, it is recommended to buffer the analog input before applying it to the ADC. The analog input range can be programmed to be either 0 to VREF or 0 to 2 x VREF. If the analog input signal to be sampled is bipolar, the internal reference of the ADC can be used to externally bias up this signal to make it the correct format for the ADC. Figure 23 shows a typical connection diagram when operating the ADC in single-ended mode.

Differential Mode
The AD7938-6 can have four differential analog input pairs by setting the MODE0 and MODE1 bits in the control register to 0 and 1, respectively. Differential signals have some benefits over single-ended signals, including noise immunity based on the device's common-mode rejection and improvements in distortion performance.

AD7938-6
The amplitude of the differential signal is the difference between the signals applied to the VIN+ and VIN- pins in each differential pair (i.e., VIN+ - VIN-). VIN+ and VIN- should be simultaneously driven by two signals each of amplitude VREF (or 2 x VREF depending on the range chosen) that are 180 out of phase (assuming the 0 to VREF range is selected). The amplitude of the differential signal is therefore -VREF to +VREF peak-topeak (i.e., 2 x VREF). This is regardless of the common mode (CM). The common mode is the average of the two signals, i.e. (VIN+ + VIN-)/2 and is therefore the voltage on which the two inputs are centered. This results in the span of each input being CM VREF/2. This voltage has to be set up externally and its range varies with the reference value VREF. As the value of VREF increases, the common-mode range decreases. When driving the inputs with an amplifier, the actual common-mode range is determined by the amplifier's output voltage swing. Figure 25 and Figure 26 show how the common-mode range typically varies with VREF for a 5 V power supply using the 0 to VREF range or 2 x VREF range, respectively. The common mode must be in this range to guarantee the functionality of the AD7938-6. When a conversion takes place, the common mode is rejected, resulting in a virtually noise free signal of amplitude -VREF to +VREF corresponding to the digital codes of 0 to 4096. If the 2 x VREF range is used then the input signal amplitude would extend from -2VREF to +2VREF after conversion.

Driving Differential Inputs
Differential operation requires that VIN+ and VIN- be simultaneously driven with two equal signals that are 180 out of phase. The common mode must be set up externally and has a range that is determined by VREF, the power supply, and the particular amplifier used to drive the analog inputs. Differential modes of operation with either an ac or dc input provide the best THD performance over a wide frequency range. Since not all applications have a signal preconditioned for differential operation, there is often a need to perform single-ended-to-differential conversion.
Using an Op Amp Pair
An op amp pair can be used to directly couple a differential signal to one of the analog input pairs of the AD7938-6. The circuit configurations shown in Figure 27 and Figure 28 show how a dual op amp can be used to convert a single-ended signal into a differential signal for both a bipolar and unipolar input signal, respectively. The voltage applied to Point A sets up the common-mode voltage. In both diagrams, it is connected in some way to the reference, but any value in the common-mode range can be input here to set up the common mode. A suitable dual op amp that could be used in this configuration to provide differential drive to the AD7938-6 is the AD8022. Take care when choosing the op amp; the selection depends on the required power supply and system performance objectives. The driver circuits in Figure 27 and Figure 28 are optimized for dc coupling applications requiring best distortion performance. The circuit configuration shown in Figure 27 converts a unipolar, single-ended signal into a differential signal. The differential op amp driver circuit in Figure 28 is configured to convert and level shift a single-ended, ground-referenced (bipolar) signal to a differential signal centered at the VREF level of the ADC.

ANALOG INPUT SELECTION
As shown in Table 8, the user can set up their analog input configuration by setting the values in the MODE0 and MODE1 bits in the control register. Assuming the configuration has been chosen, there are different ways of selecting the analog input to be converted depending on the state of the SEQ and SHDW bits in the control register.

Traditional Multichannel Operation (SEQ = SHDW = 0)
Any one of eight analog input channels or four pairs of channels may be selected for conversion in any order by setting the SEQ and SHDW bits in the control register to 0. The channel to be converted is selected by writing to the address bits, ADD2 to ADD0, in the control register to program the multiplexer prior to the conversion. This mode of operation is that of a traditional multichannel ADC where each data write selects the next channel for conversion. Figure 30 shows a flow chart of this mode of operation. The channel configurations are shown in Table 8.

The AD7938-6 can have four pseudo-differential pairs (Pseudo Mode 1) or seven pseudo differential inputs (Pseudo Mode 2) by setting the MODE0 and MODE1 bits in the control register to 1, 0 and 1, 1, respectively. In the case of the four pseudodifferential pairs, VIN+ is connected to the signal source which must have an amplitude of VREF (or 2 x VREF depending on the range chosen) to make use of the full dynamic range of the part. A dc input is applied to the VIN- pin. The voltage applied to this input provides an offset from ground or a pseudo ground for the VIN+ input. In the case of the seven pseudo-differential inputs, the seven analog input signals inputs are referred to a dc voltage applied to VIN7. The benefit of pseudo-differential inputs is that they separate the analog input signal ground from the ADC's ground allowing dc common-mode voltages to be cancelled. The specified voltage range for the VIN- pin while in pseudo-differential mode is -0.1 V to +0.4 V; however, typically this range can extend to -0.3 V to +0.7 V when VDD = 3 V or -0.3 V to +1.8 V when VDD = 5 V. Figure 29 shows a connection diagram for pseudo-differential mode.

The AD7938-6 may be configured to automatically cycle through a number of selected channels using the on-chip programmable sequencer by setting SEQ = 0 and SHDW = 1 in the control register.

AD7938-6
Once the shadow register has been programmed with the required sequence, the next conversion executed is on the lowest channel programmed in the SHDW register. The next conversion executed is on the next highest channel in the sequence and so on. When the last channel in the sequence is converted, the internal multiplexer returns to the first channel selected in the shadow register and commences the sequence again. It is not necessary to write to the control register again once a sequencer operation has been initiated. The WR input must be kept high to ensure that the control register is not accidentally overwritten or that a sequence operation is not interrupted. If the control register is written to at any time during the sequence, then ensure that the SEQ and SHDW bits are set to 1, 0 to avoid interrupting the conversion sequence. The sequence program remains in force until such time as the AD7938-6 is written to and the SEQ and SHDW bits are configured with any bit combination except 1, 0. Figure 31 shows a flow chart of the programmable sequence operation.

REFERENCE SECTION
The AD7938-6 can operate with either the on-chip or external reference. The internal reference is selected by setting the REF bit in the internal control register to 1. A block diagram of the internal reference circuitry is shown in Figure 33. The internal reference circuitry includes an on-chip 2.5 V band gap reference and a reference buffer. When using the internal reference, the VREFIN/VREFOUT pin should be decoupled to AGND with a 0.47 F capacitor. This internal reference not only provides the reference for the analog-to-digital conversion, but it can also be used externally in the system. It is recommended that the reference output is buffered using an external precision op amp before applying it anywhere in the system.

Consecutive Sequence (SEQ = 1, SHDW = 1)
A sequence of consecutive channels can be converted beginning with Channel 0 and ending with a final channel selected by writing to the ADD2 to ADD0 bits in the control register. This is done by setting the SEQ and SHDW bits in the control register to 1. In this mode, the sequencer can be used without having to write to the shadow register. Once the control register is written to, to set this mode up, the next conversion is on Channel 0, then Channel 1, and so on until the channel selected by the address bits (ADD2 to ADD0) is reached. The cycle begins again provided the WR input is tied high. If low, the SEQ and SHDW bits must be set to 1, 0 to allow the ADC to continue its preprogrammed sequence uninterrupted. Figure 32 shows the flow chart of the consecutive sequence mode.
Figure 33. Internal Reference Circuit Block Diagram
Alternatively, an external reference can be applied to the VREFIN/VREFOUT pin of the AD7938-6. An external reference input is selected by setting the REF bit in the internal control register to 0. The external reference input range is 0.1 V to VDD. It is important to ensure that, when choosing the reference value, the maximum analog input range (VIN MAX) is never greater than VDD + 0.3 V to comply with the maximum ratings of the device. For example, if operating in differential mode and the reference is sourced from VDD, then the 0 to 2 x VREF range cannot be used. This is because the analog input signal range would now extend to 2 x VDD, which would exceed maximum rating conditions. In the pseudo-differential modes, the user must

ensure that VREF + (VIN-) VDD when using the 0 to VREF range, or when using the 2 x VREF range that 2 x VREF +(VIN-) VDD. In all cases, the specified reference is 2.5 V. The performance of the part with different reference values is shown in Figure 9 to Figure 11. The value of the reference sets the analog input span and the common-mode voltage range. Errors in the reference source result in gain errors in the AD7938-6 transfer function and add to specified full-scale errors on the part. Table 11 lists examples of suitable voltage references that could be used that are available from Analog Devices and Figure 34 shows a typical connection diagram for an external reference.

Digital Inputs
The digital inputs applied to the AD7938-6 are not limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs. Instead, the digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not restricted by the AVDD + 0.3 V limit as on the analog inputs. Another advantage of the digital inputs not being restricted by the AVDD + 0.3 V limit is the fact that power supply sequencing issues are avoided. If any of these inputs are applied before AVDD, then there is no risk of latch-up as there would be on the analog inputs if a signal greater than 0.3 V was applied prior to AVDD.
VDRIVE Input
The AD7938-6 has a VDRIVE feature. VDRIVE controls the voltage at which the parallel interface operates. VDRIVE allows the ADC to easily interface to 3 V and 5 V processors. For example, if the AD7938-6 is operated with an AVDD of 5 V and the VDRIVE pin is powered from a 3 V supply, the AD7938-6 has better dynamic performance with an AVDD of 5 V while still being able to interface directly to 3 V processors. Care should be taken to ensure VDRIVE does not exceed AVDD by more than 0.3 V (see the Absolute Maximum Ratings section).

PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7938-6 has a flexible, high speed, parallel interface. This interface is 12-bits wide and is capable of operating in either word (W/B tied high) or byte (W/B tied low) mode. The CONVST signal is used to initiate conversions and when operating in autoshutdown or autostandby mode, it is used to initiate power up. A falling edge on the CONVST signal is used to initiate conversions and it also puts the ADC track-and-hold into track. Once the CONVST signal goes low, the BUSY signal goes high for the duration of the conversion. In between conversions, CONVST must be brought high for a minimum time of t1. This must happen after the 14th falling edge of CLKIN; otherwise, the conversion is aborted and the track-and-hold goes back into track. At the end of the conversion, BUSY goes low and can be used to activate an interrupt service routine. The CS and RD lines are then activated in parallel to read the 12 bits of conversion data. When power supplies are first applied to the device, a rising edge on CONVST is necessary to put the trackand-hold into track. The acquisition time of 125 ns minimum must be allowed before CONVST is brought low to initiate a conversion. The ADC then goes into hold on the falling edge of CONVST and back into track on the 13th rising edge of CLKIN after this (see Figure 35). When operating the device in autoshutdown or autostandby mode, where the ADC powers down at the end of each conversion, a rising edge on the CONVST signal is used to power up the device.

AD7938-6
Reading Data from the AD7938-6
With the W/B pin tied logic high, the AD7938-6 interface operates in word mode. In this case, a single read operation from the device accesses the conversion data-word on Pins DB0 to DB11. The DB8/HBEN pin assumes its DB8 function. With the W/B pin tied to logic low, the AD7938-6 interface operates in byte mode. In this case, the DB8/HBEN pin assumes its HBEN function. Conversion data from the AD7938-6 must be accessed in two read operations with eight bits of data provided on DB0 to DB7 for each of the read operations. The HBEN pin determines whether the read operation accesses the high byte or the low byte of the12-bit word. For a low byte read, DB0 to DB7 provide the eight LSBs of the 12-bit word. For a high byte read, DB0 to DB3 provide the four MSBs of the 12-bit word. DB5 to DB7 of the high byte provide the Channel ID. Figure 35 shows the read cycle timing diagram for a 12-bit transfer. When operated in word mode, the HBEN input does not exist, and only the first read operation is required to access data from the device. When operated in byte mode, the two read cycles shown in Figure 36 are required to access the full data-word from the device. The CS and RD signals are gated internally and level triggered active low. In either word mode or byte mode, CS and RD may be tied together as the timing specifications for t10 and t11 are 0 ns minimum. This would mean the bus would be constantly driven by the AD7938-6. The data is placed onto the data bus a time, t13, after both CS and RD go low. The RD rising edge can be used to latch data out of the device. After a time, t14, the data lines become three-stated. Alternatively, CS and RD can be tied permanently low and the conversion data is valid and placed onto the data bus a time, t9, before the falling edge of BUSY. Note that if RD is pulsed during the conversion time then this causes a degradation in linearity performance of approximately 0.25 LSB. Reading during conversion by way of tying CS and RD low does not cause any degradation.

AD7938-6
Writing Data to the AD7938-6
With W/B tied logic high, a single write operation transfers the full data-word on DB0 to DB11 to the control register on the AD7938-6. The DB8/HBEN pin assumes its DB8 function. Data written to the AD7938-6 should be provided on the DB0 to DB11 inputs with DB0 being the LSB of the data-word. With W/B tied logic low, the AD7938-6 requires two write operations to transfer a full 12-bit word. DB8/HBEN assumes its HBEN function. Data written to the AD7938-6 should be provided on the DB0 to DB7 inputs. HBEN determines whether the byte written is high byte or low byte data. The low byte of the dataword should be written first with DB0 being the LSB of the full data-word. For the high byte write, HBEN should be high and the data on the DB0 input should be data Bit 8 of the 12-bit word. In both word and byte mode, a single write operation to the shadow register is always sufficient since it is only 8-bits wide. Figure 37 shows the write cycle timing diagram of the AD7938-6. When operated in word mode, the HBEN input does not exist and only one write operation is required to write the word of data to the device. Data should be provided on DB0 to DB11. When operated in byte mode, the two write cycles shown in Figure 38 are required to write the full data-word to the AD7938-6. In Figure 38, the first write transfers the lower eight bits of the data-word from DB0 to DB7, and the second write transfers the upper four bits of the data-word. When writing to the AD7938-6, the top four bits in the high byte must be 0s. The data is latched into the device on the rising edge of WR. The data needs to be setup a time, t7, before the WR rising edge and held for a time, t8, after the WR rising edge. The CS and WR signals are gated internally. CS and WR may be tied together as the timing specifications for t4 and t5 are 0 ns minimum (assuming CS and RD have not already been tied together).

AD7938-6
POWER MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7938-6 have four different power modes of operation. These modes are designed to provide flexible power management options. Different options can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for differing applications. The mode of operation is selected by the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the control register, as detailed in Table 7. When power is first applied to the AD7938-6 an on-chip, power-on reset circuit ensures that the default power-up condition is normal mode. Note that, after power-on, the track-and-hold is in hold mode and the first rising edge of CONVST places the track-and-hold into track mode.
Autostandby (PM1 = 1; PM0 = 0)
In this mode of operation, the AD7938-6 automatically enters standby mode at the end of each conversion, which is shown as Point A in Figure 35. When this mode is entered, all circuitry on the AD7938-6 is powered down except for the reference and reference buffer. The track-and-hold goes into hold at this point also and remains in hold as long as the device is in standby. The part remains in standby until the next rising edge of CONVST powers up the device. The power-up time required depends on whether the internal or external reference is used. With an external reference, the power-up time required is a minimum of 600 ns, while when using the internal reference, the power-up time required is a minimum of 7 s. The user should ensure this power-up time has elapsed before initiating another conversion as shown in Figure 39. This rising edge of CONVST also places the track-and-hold back into track mode.
Normal Mode (PM1 = PM0 = 0)
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance because the user does not have to worry about any power-up times associated with the AD7938-6 because it remains fully powered up at all times. At power-on reset, this mode is the default setting in the control register.
Full Shutdown Mode (PM1 =1; PM0 = 1)
When this mode is programmed, all circuitry on the AD7938-6 is powered down upon completion of the write operation, i.e., on rising edge of WR. The track-and-hold enters hold mode at this point. The part retains the information in the control register while the part is in shutdown. The AD7938-6 remains in full shutdown mode and the track-and-hold in hold mode, until the power management bits (PM1 and PM0) in the control register are changed. If a write to the control register occurs while the part is in full shutdown mode, and the power management bits are changed to PM0 = PM1 = 0, i.e., normal mode, the part begins to power-up on the WR rising edge and the track-and-hold returns to track. To ensure the part is fully powered up before a conversion is initiated, the power-up time of 10 ms minimum should be allowed before the next CONVST falling edge; otherwise, invalid data is read. Note that all power-up times quoted apply with a 470 nF capacitor on the VREFIN pin.
Autoshutdown (PM1 = 0; PM0 = 1)
In this mode of operation, the AD7938-6 automatically enters full shutdown at the end of each conversion, which is shown at Point A in Figure 35 and Figure 39. In shutdown mode, all internal circuitry on the device is powered down. The part retains information in the control register during shutdown. The track-and-hold also goes into hold at this point and remains in hold as long as the device is in shutdown. The AD7938-6 remains in shutdown mode until the next rising edge of CONVST (see Point B in Figure 35 or Figure 39). In order to keep the device in shutdown for as long as possible, CONVST should idle low between conversions as shown in Figure 39. On this rising edge, the part begins to power-up and the track-andhold returns to track mode. The power-up time required is 10 ms minimum regardless of whether the user is operating with the internal or external reference. The user should ensure that the power-up time has elapsed before initiating a conversion.

AD7938-6
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
A big advantage of powering the ADC down after a conversion is that the power consumption of the part is significantly reduced at lower throughput rates. When using the different power modes, the AD7938-6 is only powered up for the duration of the conversion. Therefore, the average power consumption per cycle is significantly reduced. Figure 40 shows a plot of the power vs. the throughput rate when operating in autostandby mode for both VDD = 5 V and 3 V. For example, if the maximum CLKIN frequency of 10 MHz is used to minimize the conversion time, this accounts for only 1.315 s of the overall cycle time while the AD7938-6 remains in standby mode for the remainder of the cycle. If the device runs at a throughput rate of 10 kSPS, for example, then the overall cycle time would be 100 s. Figure 41 shows a plot of the power vs. the throughput rate when operating in normal mode for both VDD = 5 V and 3 V. In both plots, the figures apply when using the internal reference. If an external reference is used, the power-up time reduces to 600 ns; therefore, the AD7938-6 remains in standby for a greater time in every cycle. Additionally, the current consumption, when converting, should be lower than the specified maximum of 1.5 mA or 1.2 mA with VDD = 5 V or 3 V, respectively.

Figure 43 shows a typical interface between the AD7938-6 and the ADSP-21065L SHARC(R) processor. This interface is an example of one of three DMA handshake modes. The MSx control line is actually three memory select lines. Internal ADDR25-24 are decoded into MS3-0, these lines are then asserted as chip selects. The DMAR1 (DMA request 1) is used in this setup as the interrupt to signal the end of conversion. The rest of the interface is standard handshaking operation.

Figure 45 shows the AD7938-6 interfaced to the 80C186 microprocessor. The 80C186 DMA controller provides two independent high speed DMA channels where data transfer can occur between memory and I/O spaces. Each data transfer consumes two bus cycles, one cycle to fetch data and the other to store data. After the AD7938-6 has finished a conversion, the BUSY line generates a DMA request to Channel 1 (DRQ1). Because of the interrupt, the processor performs a DMA read operation that also resets the interrupt latch. Sufficient priority must be assigned to the DMA channel to ensure that the DMA request is serviced before the completion of the next conversion.

Parallel interfaces between the AD7938-6 and the TMS32020, TMS320C25, and TMS320C5x family of DSPs are shown in Figure 44. The memory mapped address chosen for the AD7938-6 should be chosen to fall in the I/O memory space of the DSPs. The parallel interface on the AD7938-6 is fast enough to interface to the TMS32020 with no extra wait states. If high speed glue logic, such as 74AS devices, are used to drive the RD and the WR lines when interfacing to the TMS320C25, then again, no wait states are necessary. However, if slower logic is used, data accesses may be slowed sufficiently when reading from, and writing to, the part to require the insertion of one wait state. Extra wait states are necessary when using the TMS320C5x at their fastest clock speeds (see the TMS320C5x User's Guide for details). Data is read from the ADC using the following instruction IN D, ADC where D is the data memory address and ADC is the AD7938-6 address.

AD7938-6 APPLICATION HINTS
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7938-6 should be designed so that 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. A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes since it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog ground planes should be joined in only one place, and the connection should be a star ground point established as close to the ground pins on the AD7938-6 as possible. Avoid running digital lines under the device as this couples noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7938-6 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7938-6 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals, such as clocks, should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals should never run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best but is not always possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes, while signals are placed on the solder side. Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10 F tantalum capacitors in parallel with 0.1 F capacitors to GND. To achieve the best from these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. The 0.1 F capacitors should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and effective series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types or surface-mount types, which provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic switching.
PCB DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR CHIP SCALE PACKAGE
The lands on the chip scale package (CP-32) are rectangular. The printed circuit board pad for these should be 0.1 mm longer than the package land length and 0.05 mm wider than the package land width. The land should be centered on the pad. This ensures that the solder joint size is maximized. The bottom of the chip scale package has a thermal pad. The thermal pad on the printed circuit board should be at least as large as this exposed pad. On the printed circuit board, there should be a clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal pad and the inner edges of the pad pattern. This ensures that shorting is avoided. Thermal vias may be used on the printed circuit board thermal pad to improve thermal performance of the package. If vias are used, they should be incorporated in the thermal pad at 1.2 mm pitch grid. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm and 0.33 mm, and the via barrel should be plated with 1 oz. copper to plug the via. The user should connect the printed circuit board thermal pad to AGND.
EVALUATING THE AD7938-6 PERFORMANCE
The recommended layout for the AD7938-6 is outlined in the evaluation board documentation. The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for controlling the board from the PC via the evaluation board controller. The evaluation board controller can be used in conjunction with the AD7938-6 evaluation board, as well as many other ADI evaluation boards ending in the CB designator, to demonstrate/evaluate the ac and dc performance of the AD7938-6. The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier transform) and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7938-6. The software and documentation are on the CD that ships with the evaluation board.
