GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7983 is a 16-bit, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power supply, VDD. It contains a low power, high speed, 16-bit sampling ADC and a versatile serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, it samples an analog input IN+ between 0 V to REF with respect to a ground sense IN?. The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set independent of the supply voltage, VDD. Its power scales linearly with throughput.
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single, 3-wire bus and provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate supply VIO.
The AD7983 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN1 (LFCSP) with operation specified from ?40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The point used as negative full scale occurs ? LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1? LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line (see Figure 22). Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed. Offset Error
The first transition should occur at a level ? LSB above analog ground (38.1 μV for the 0 V to 5 V range). The offset error is the deviation of the actual transition from that point. Gain Error
The last transition (from 111 … 10 to 111 … 11) should occur for an analog voltage 1? LSB below the nominal full scale (4.999886 V for the 0 V to 5 V range). The gain error is the deviation of the actual level of the last transition from the ideal level after the offset is adjusted out. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to SINAD as follows:
ENOB = (SINAD dB ? 1.76)/6.02 and is expressed in bits.
Noise-Free Code Resolution
Noise-free code resolution is the number of bits beyond which it is impossible to distinctly resolve individual codes. It is calculated as
Noise-Free Code Resolution = log 2(2N /Peak-to-Peak Noise ) and is expressed in bits. Effective Resolution
Effective resolution is calculated as
Effective Resolution = log 2(2N /RMS Input Noise ) and is expressed in bits.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is expressed in dB.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to the total rms noise measured with the inputs shorted together. The value for dynamic range is expressed in dB. It is measured with a signal at ?60 dBFS to include all noise sources and DNL artifacts.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is expressed in dB.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for SINAD is expressed in dB.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measurement of the acquisition performance. It is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and when the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to accurately acquire its input after a full-scale step function is applied.

Figure 21. ADC Simplified Schematic
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7983 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise 16-bit ADC that uses a successive approximation architecture. The AD7983 is capable of converting 1,000,000 samples per second (1 MSPS) and powers down between conversions. When operating at 10 kSPS, for example, it consumes 70 μW typically, making it ideal for battery-powered applications.
The AD7983 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
The AD7983 can be interfaced to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is available in a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead QFN 1 (LFCSP) that allows space savings and flexible configurations. It is pin-for-pin compatible with the 18-bit AD7982.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7983 is a successive approximation ADC based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 21 shows the simplified schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two identical arrays of 16 binary weighted capacitors, which are connected to the two comparator inputs. During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the input of the comparator are connected to GND via SW+ and SW?. All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs. Therefore, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN? inputs. When the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high, a conversion phase is initiated. When the
conversion phase begins, SW+ and SW? are opened first. The two capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the inputs IN+ and IN? captured at the end of the acquisition phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor array between GND and REF, the comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps
(V REF /2, V REF /4 … V REF /65,536). The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB, to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After the completion of this process, the part returns to the acquisition phase and the control logic generates the ADC output code and a busy signal indicator. Because the AD7983 has an on-board conversion clock, the serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.

ANALOG INPUTS
Figure 24 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of the AD7983.
The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog inputs, IN+ and IN?. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 0.3 V , because this causes these diodes to become forward-biased and start conducting current. These diodes can handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA maximum. For instance, these conditions could eventually occur when the supplies of the input buffer (U1) are different from VDD. In such a case (for example, an input buffer with a short circuit), the current limitation can be used to protect the part.
06974-009
Figure 24. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
The analog input structure allows the sampling of the true differential signal between IN+ and IN?. By using these
differential inputs, signals common to both inputs are rejected. During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog inputs (IN+ and IN?) can be modeled as a parallel combination of capacitor, C PIN , and the network formed by the series connection of R IN and C IN . C PIN is primarily the pin capacitance. R IN is typically 400 Ω and is a lumped component made up of some serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. C IN is typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor. During the conversion phase, where the switches are opened, the input impedance is limited to C PIN . R IN and C IN make a 1-pole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effects and limits the noise. When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the AD7983 can be driven directly. Large source impedances
significantly affect the ac performance, especially THD. The dc performances are less sensitive to the input impedance. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the source impedance and the maximum input frequency.
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
Although the AD7983 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs to meet the following requirements: ?
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise performance of the AD7983. The noise coming from the driver is filtered by the AD7983 analog input circuit’s 1-pole, low-pass filter made by R IN and C IN or by the external filter, if one is used. Because the typical noise of the AD7983 is 39.7 μV rms, the SNR degradation due to the amplifier is

f the op amp, in nV/√Hz. ? For ac applications, the driver should have a THD performance commensurate with the AD7983.
?
For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver amplifier and the AD7983 analog input circuit must settle for a full-scale step onto the capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%, 15 ppm). In the data sheet of the amplifier, settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This could differ significantly from the settling time at a 16-bit level and should be verified prior to driver selection.

The AD7983 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input impedance and should therefore be driven by a low impedance source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND pins, as explained in the Layout section.
When REF is driven by a very low impedance source, for example, a reference buffer using the AD8031 or the AD8605, a ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum performance. If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 μF (X5R, 1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum performance using a low temperature drift ADR43x reference. If desired, a reference-decoupling capacitor value as small as 2.2 μF can be used with a minimal impact on performance, especially DNL.
Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value ceramic decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between the REF and GND pins.
POWER SUPPLY
The AD7983 uses two power supply pins: a core supply (VDD) and a digital input/output interface supply (VIO). VIO allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V and 5.0 V . To reduce the number of supplies needed, VIO and VDD can be tied together. The AD7983 is independent of power supply sequencing between VIO and VDD. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 25.

To ensure optimum performance, VDD should be roughly half of REF, the voltage reference input. For example, if REF is 5.0 V , VDD should be set to 2.5 V (±5%).

DIGITAL INTERFACE
Though the AD7983 has a reduced number of pins, it offers flexibility in its serial interface modes.
When in CS mode, the AD7983 is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and digital hosts. This interface can use either a 3-wire or a 4-wire interface. A 3-wire interface using the CNV , SCK, and SDO signals minimizes wiring connections useful, for instance, in isolated applications. A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV , SCK, and SDO signals allows CNV , which initiates the conversions, to be independent of the readback timing (SDI). This is useful in low jitter sampling or simultaneous sampling applications. The AD7983, when in chain mode, provides a daisy-chain feature using the SDI input for cascading multiple ADCs on a single data line similar to a shift register.
The mode in which the part operates depends on the SDI level when the CNV rising edge occurs. The CS mode is selected if SDI is high, and the chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected, the chain mode is always selected.
In either mode, the AD7983 offers the flexibility to optionally force a start bit in front of the data bits. This start bit can be used as a busy signal indicator to interrupt the digital host and trigger the data reading. Otherwise, without a busy indicator, the user must time out the maximum conversion time prior to readback.
The busy indicator feature is enabled
? In CS mode if CNV or SDI is low when the ADC conversion ends (see Figure 29 and Figure 33).
? In chain mode if SCK is high during the CNV rising edge (see Figure 37).

CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7983 is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 26, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 27.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. When a conversion is initiated, it continues until completion irrespective of the state of CNV . This can be useful, for example, to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers; however, CNV must be returned high before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held high for the maximum conversion time to avoid the generation of the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, the AD7983 enters the acquisition phase and goes into standby mode.
When CNV goes low, the MSB is output onto SDO. The
remaining data bits are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate provided that it has an acceptable hold time. After the 16th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance.

This mode is usually used when a single AD7983 is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host that has an interrupt input. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 28, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 29.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. SDO is maintained in high impedance until the completion of the conversion irrespective of the state of CNV . Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNV can be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned low before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held low for the maximum conversion time to guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to low. With a pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the data read back controlled by the digital host. The AD7983 then enters the acquisition phase and goes into standby mode. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional 17th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance. If multiple AD7983s are selected at the same time, the SDO output pin handles this contention without damage or induced latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended that this contention be kept as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.

CS MODE, 4-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when multiple AD7983s are connected to an SPI-compatible digital host.
A connection diagram example using two AD7983s is shown in Figure 30, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 31. With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI can be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but SDI must be returned high before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held high for the maximum conversion time to avoid the generation of the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, the AD7983 enters the
acquisition phase and goes into standby mode. Each ADC result can be read by bringing its SDI input low, which consequently outputs the MSB onto SDO. The remaining data bits are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the 16th SCK falling edge or when SDI goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance and another AD7983 can be read.

CS MODE, 4-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7983 is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host that has an interrupt input, and when it is desired to keep CNV , which is used to sample the analog input, independent of the signal used to select the data reading. This requirement is particularly important in applications where low jitter on CNV is desired. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 32, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 33.
With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI can be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but SDI must be returned low before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held low for the maximum conversion time to guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to low.
With a pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the data readback controlled by the digital host. The AD7983 then enters the acquisition phase and goes into standby mode. The data bits are clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional 17th SCK falling edge or SDI going high, whichever is earlier, the SDO returns to high impedance.
