3 MSPS, 12-/10-/8-Bit ADCs in 6-Lead TSOT

Analog Devices 

AD7276/AD7277/AD7278

THEORY OF OPERATION

CIRCUIT INFORMATION

The AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 are fast, micropower, 12-/10-/

8-bit, single-supply ADCs, respectively. The parts can be operated

from a 2.35 V to 3.6 V supply. When operated from a supply

voltage within this range, the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 are

capable of throughput rates of 3 MSPS when provided with a

48 MHz clock.

The AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 provide the user with an on-

chip track-and-hold ADC and a serial interface housed in a tiny

6-lead TSOT or an 8-lead MSOP package, which offers the user

considerable space-saving advantages over alternative solutions.

The serial clock input accesses data from the part and provides

the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The

analog input range is 0 V to VDD. An external reference is not

required for the ADC, and there is no reference on-chip. The

reference for the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 is derived from the

power supply, resulting in the widest dynamic input range.

The AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 also feature a power-down

option to save power between conversions. The power-down

feature is implemented across the standard serial interface as

described in the Modes of Operation section.

CONVERTER OPERATION

The AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 are successive approximation

ADCs that are based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 19

and Figure 20 show simplified schematics of the ADC. Figure 19

shows the ADC during its acquisition phase, where SW2 is closed,

SW1 is in Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced con-

dition, and the sampling capacitor acquires the signal on VIN.

LOGIC

When the ADC starts a conversion, SW2 opens and SW1 moves

to Position B, causing the comparator to become unbalanced

(see Figure 20). The control logic and the charge redistribution

DACs are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge

from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into

a balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the

conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC

output code.

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION

The output coding of the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 is straight

binary. The designed code transitions occur midway between

successive integer LSB values, such as 0.5 LSB and 1.5 LSB. The

LSB size is VDD/4,096 for the AD7276, VDD/1,024 for the AD7277,

and VDD/256 for the AD7278. The ideal transfer characteristic

for the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 is shown in Figure 21.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Figure 22 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7276/

AD7277/AD7278. VREF is taken internally from VDD; therefore,

VDD should be decoupled. This provides an analog input range

of 0 V to VDD. The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word

with two leading zeros followed by the 12-bit, 10-bit, or 8-bit

result. The 12-bit result from the AD7276 is followed by two

trailing zeros; the 10-bit and 8-bit results from the AD7277 and

AD7278 are followed by four and six trailing zeros, respectively.

Alternatively, because the supply current required by the AD7276/

AD7277/AD7278 is so low, a precision reference can be used as the

supply source for the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278. A REF19x voltage

reference (REF193 for 3 V) can be used to supply the required

voltage to the ADC (see Figure 22). This configuration is especially

useful if the power supply is noisy or the system’s supply voltage is a

value other than 3 V (for example, 5 V or 15 V). The REF19x

outputs a steady voltage to the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278. If the

low dropout REF193 is used, it must supply a current of typically

1 mA to the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278. When the ADC is

converting at a rate of 3 MSPS, the REF193 must supply a maxi-

mum of 5 mA to the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278.
