ADC101S021 ADC101S021 Single Channel, 50 to 200 ksps, 10-Bit A/D Converter Literature Number: SNAS307E ADC101S021 Single Channel, 50 to 200 ksps, 10-Bit A/D Converter General Description Features The ADC101S021 is a low-power, single channel CMOS 10bit analog-to-digital converter with a high-speed serial interface. Unlike the conventional practice of specifying performance at a single sample rate only, the ADC101S021 is fully specified over a sample rate range of 50 ksps to 200 ksps. The converter is based upon a successive-approximation register architecture with an internal track-and-hold circuit. The output serial data is straight binary, and is compatible with several standards, such as SPITM, QSPITM, MICROWIRE, and many common DSP serial interfaces. The ADC101S021 operates with a single supply that can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption using a +3.6V or +5.25V supply is 2.34 mW and 8.9 mW, respectively. The power-down feature reduces the power consumption to as low as 2.6 W using a +5.25V supply. The ADC101S021 is packaged in 6-lead LLP and SOT-23 packages. Operation over the industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C is guaranteed.

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified. Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply (that is, VIN < GND or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited to 10 mA. The 20 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 10 mA to two. The Absolute Maximum Rating specification does not apply to the VA pin. The current into the VA pin is limited by the Analog Supply Voltage specification. Note 4: The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (JA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula PDmax = (TJmax - TA) / JA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Obviously, such conditions should always be avoided. Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through zero ohms. Note 6: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages. Note 7: Tested limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level). Note 8: This is the frequency range over which the electrical performance is guaranteed. The device is functional over a wider range which is specified under Operating Ratings. Note 9: Data sheet min/max specification limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Note 10: Minimum Quiet Time required by bus relinquish and the start of the next conversion. Note 11: Measured with the timing test circuit shown in Figure 1 and defined as the time taken by the output signal to cross 1.0V. Note 12: Measured with the timing test circuit shown in Figure 1 and defined as the time taken by the output signal to cross 1.0V or 2.0V. Note 13: tDIS is derived from the time taken by the outputs to change by 0.5V with the timing test circuit shown in Figure 1. The measured number is then adjusted to remove the effects of charging or discharging the output capacitance. This means that tDIS is the true bus relinquish time, independent of the bus loading. 5 www.national.com ADC101S021 Symbol ADC101S021 Timing Diagrams 20145308 FIGURE 1. Timing Test Circuit 20145306 FIGURE 2. ADC101S021 Serial Timing Diagram www.national.com 6 ACQUISITION TIME is the time required to acquire the input voltage. That is, it is time required for the hold capacitor to charge up to the input voltage. Acquisition time is measured backwards from the falling edge of CS when the signal is sampled and the part moves from track to hold. The start of the time interval that contains TACQ is the 13th rising edge of SCLK of the previous conversion when the part moves from hold to track. The user must ensure that the time between the 13th rising edge of SCLK and the falling edge of the next CS is not less than TACQ to meet performance specifications. APERTURE DELAY is the time after the falling edge of CS when the input signal is acquired or held for conversion. APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture jitter manifests itself as noise in the output. CONVERSION TIME is the time required, after the input voltage is acquired, for the ADC to convert the input voltage to a digital word. This is from the falling edge of CS when the input signal is sampled to the 16th falling edge of SCLK when the SDATA output goes into TRI-STATE. DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB. DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time that a repetitive digital waveform is high to the total time of one period. The specification here refers to the SCLK. EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and Distortion or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD - 1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to a perfect ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits. FULL POWER BANDWIDTH is a measure of the frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental drops 3 dB below its low frequency value for a full scale input. GAIN ERROR is the deviation of the last code transition (111...110) to (111...111) from the ideal (VREF - 1.5 LSB), after adjusting for offset error. INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale (1/2 LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (1/2 LSB above the last code transition). The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that code value. where Af1 is the RMS power of the input frequency at the output and Af2 through Af6 are the RMS power in the first 5 harmonic frequencies. THROUGHPUT TIME is the minimum time required between the start of two successive conversion. It is the acquisition time plus the conversion time. 7 www.national.com ADC101S021 INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time. It is defined as the ratio of the power in the second and third order intermodulation products to the sum of the power in both of the original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dB. MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC101S021 is guaranteed not to have any missing codes. OFFSET ERROR is the deviation of the first code transition (000...000) to (000...001) from the ideal (i.e. GND + 0.5 LSB). SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not including harmonics or d.c. SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or SINAD) Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock frequency, including harmonics but excluding d.c. SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the desired signal amplitude to the amplitude of the peak spurious spectral component, where a spurious spectral component is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input and may or may not be a harmonic. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dB or dBc, of the rms total of the first five harmonic components at the output to the rms level of the input signal frequency as seen at the output. THD is calculated as Specification Definitions ADC101S021 Typical Performance Characteristics TA = +25C, fSAMPLE = 50 ksps to 200 ksps, fSCLK = 1 MHz to 4 MHz, fIN = 100 kHz unless otherwise stated.

The control logic then instructs the charge-redistribution DAC to add or subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor until the comparator is balanced. When the comparator is balanced, the digital word supplied to the DAC is the digital representation of the analog input voltage. The device moves from hold mode to track mode on the 13th rising edge of SCLK. Applications Information 1.0 ADC101S021 OPERATION The ADC101S021 is a successive-approximation analog-todigital converter designed around a charge-redistribution digital-to-analog converter core. Simplified schematics of the ADC101S021 in both track and hold modes are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, respectively. In Figure 3, the device is in track mode: switch SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to the input and SW2 balances the comparator inputs. The device is in this state until CS is brought low, at which point the device moves to the hold mode. 20145309 FIGURE 3. ADC101S021 in Track Mode 20145310 FIGURE 4. ADC101S021 in Hold Mode placed back into TRI-STATE after the 16th falling edge of SCLK, or at the rising edge of CS, whichever occurs first. After a conversion is completed, the quiet time (tQUIET) must be satisfied before bringing CS low again to begin another conversion. Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to read a complete sample from the ADC. The sample bits (including leading or trailing zeroes) are clocked out on falling edges of SCLK, and are intended to be clocked in by a receiver on subsequent rising edges of SCLK. The ADC will produce three leading zero bits on SDATA, followed by ten data bits, most significant first. After the data bits, the ADC will clock out two trailing zeros. If CS goes low before the rising edge of SCLK, an additional (fourth) zero bit may be captured by the next falling edge of SCLK. 2.0 USING THE ADC101S021 The serial interface timing diagram for the ADC is shown in Figure 2. CS is chip select, which initiates conversions on the ADC and frames the serial data transfers. SCLK (serial clock) controls both the conversion process and the timing of serial data. SDATA is the serial data out pin, where a conversion result is found as a serial data stream. Basic operation of the ADC begins with CS going low, which initiates a conversion process and data transfer. Subsequent rising and falling edges of SCLK will be labelled with reference to the falling edge of CS; for example, "the third falling edge of SCLK" shall refer to the third falling edge of SCLK after CS goes low. At the fall of CS, the SDATA pin comes out of TRI-STATE and the converter moves from track mode to hold mode. The input signal is sampled and held for conversion on the falling edge of CS. The converter moves from hold mode to track mode on the 13th rising edge of SCLK (see Figure 2). It is at this point that the interval for the TACQ specification begins. In the worst case, 350ns must pass between the 13th rising edge and the next falling edge of SCLK. The SDATA pin will be www.national.com 2.1 Determining Throughput Throughput depends on the frequency of SCLK and how much time is allowed to elapse between the end of one conversion and the start of another. At the maximum specified SCLK frequency, the maximum guaranteed throughput is ob- 10 use fewer than 20 clock cycles provided the timing parameters are met. With a 1MHz SCLK, there are 2500ns in 2.5 SCLK cycles, which is greater than tACQ. After the last data bit has come out, the clock will need one full cycle to return to a falling edge. Thus the total time between falling edges of CS is 12.5*1s +2.5*1s +1*1s=16s which is a throughput of 62.5KSPS. 3.0 ADC101S021 TRANSFER FUNCTION The output format of the ADC is straight binary. Code transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB values. The LSB width for the ADC is VA/1024. The ideal transfer characteristic is shown in Figure 5. The transition from an output code of 00 0000 0000 to a code of 00 0000 0001 is at 1/2 LSB, or a voltage of VA/2048. Other code transitions occur at steps of one LSB. 12.5*50ns + 350ns + 0.5*50ns = 1000ns (12.5 SCLKs + tACQ + 1/2 SCLK) which corresponds to a maximum throughput of 1MSPS. At the slowest rate for this family, SCLK is 1MHz. Using a 20 cycle conversion frame as shown in Figure 2 yields a 20s time between CS falling edges for a throughput of 50KSPS. It is possible, however, to 20145311 FIGURE 5. Ideal Transfer Characteristic formance. To keep noise off the supply, use a dedicated linear regulator for this device, or provide sufficient decoupling from other circuitry to keep noise off the ADC supply pin. Because of the ADC's low power requirements, it is also possible to use a precision reference as a power supply to maximize performance. The three-wire interface is shown connected to a microprocessor or DSP. 4.0 TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT A typical application of the ADC is shown in Figure 6. Power is provided in this example by the National Semiconductor LP2950 low-dropout voltage regulator, available in a variety of fixed and adjustable output voltages. The power supply pin is bypassed with a capacitor network located close to the ADC. Because the reference for the ADC is the supply voltage, any noise on the supply will degrade device noise per- 11 www.national.com ADC101S021 tained by using a 20 SCLK frame. As shown in Figure 2, the minimum allowed time between CS falling edges is determined by 1) 12.5 SCLKs for Hold mode, 2) the larger of two quantities: either the minimum required time for Track mode (tACQ) or 2.5 SCLKs to finish reading the result and 3) 0, 1/2 or 1 SCLK padding to ensure an even number of SCLK cycles so there is a falling SCLK edge when CS next falls. For example, at the fastest rate for this family of parts, SCLK is 20MHz and 2.5 SCLKs are 125ns, so the minimum time between CS falling edges is calculated by : ADC101S021 20145313 FIGURE 6. Typical Application Circuit conversion process is begun) when CS is pulled low. The device will enter shutdown mode if CS is pulled high before the tenth falling edge of SCLK after CS is pulled low, or will stay in normal mode if CS remains low. Once in shutdown mode, the device will stay there until CS is brought low again. By varying the ratio of time spent in the normal and shutdown modes, a system may trade-off throughput for power consumption, with a sample rate as low as zero. 5.0 ANALOG INPUTS An equivalent circuit for the ADC's input is shown in Figure 7. Diodes D1 and D2 provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. At no time should the analog input go beyond (VA + 300 mV) or (GND - 300 mV), as these ESD diodes will begin conducting, which could result in erratic operation. For this reason, the ESD diodes should not be used to clamp the input signal. The capacitor C1 in Figure 7 has a typical value of 4 pF, and is mainly the package pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is the on resistance of the track / hold switch, and is typically 500. Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and is typically 26 pF. The ADC will deliver best performance when driven by a low-impedance source to eliminate distortion caused by the charging of the sampling capacitance. This is especially important when using the ADC to sample AC signals. Also important when sampling dynamic signals is an anti-aliasing filter 7.1 Normal Mode The fastest possible throughput is obtained by leaving the ADC in normal mode at all times, so there are no power-up delays. To keep the device in normal mode continuously, CS must be kept low until after the 10th falling edge of SCLK after the start of a conversion (remember that a conversion is initiated by bringing CS low). If CS is brought high after the 10th falling edge, but before the 16th falling edge, the device will remain in normal mode, but the current conversion will be aborted, and SDATA will return to TRI-STATE (truncating the output word). Sixteen SCLK cycles are required to read all of a conversion word from the device. After sixteen SCLK cycles have elapsed, CS may be idled either high or low until the next conversion. If CS is idled low, it must be brought high again before the start of the next conversion, which begins when CS is again brought low. After sixteen SCLK cycles, SDATA returns to TRI-STATE. Another conversion may be started, after tQUIET has elapsed, by bringing CS low again. 20145314 7.2 Shutdown Mode Shutdown mode is appropriate for applications that either do not sample continuously, or it is acceptable to trade throughput for power consumption. When the ADC is in shutdown mode, all of the analog circuitry is turned off. To enter shutdown mode, a conversion must be interrupted by bringing CS high anytime between the second and tenth falling edges of SCLK, as shown in Figure 8. Once CS has been brought high in this manner, the device will enter shutdown mode, the current conversion will be aborted and SDATA will enter TRI-STATE. If CS is brought high before the second falling edge of SCLK, the device will not change mode; this is to avoid accidentally changing mode as a result of noise on the CS line. FIGURE 7. Equivalent Input Circuit 6.0 DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The ADC digital inputs (SCLK and CS) are not limited by the same maximum ratings as the analog inputs. The digital input pins are instead limited to +5.25V with respect to GND, regardless of VA, the supply voltage. This allows the ADC to be interfaced with a wide range of logic levels, independent of the supply voltage. 7.0 MODES OF OPERATION The ADC has two possible modes of operation: normal mode, and shutdown mode. The ADC enters normal mode (and a www.national.com 12 ADC101S021 20145316 FIGURE 8. Entering Shutdown Mode 20145317 FIGURE 9. Entering Normal Mode To exit shutdown mode, bring CS back low. Upon bringing CS low, the ADC will begin powering up (power-up time is specified in the Timing Specifications table). This power-up delay results in the first conversion result being unusable. The second conversion performed after power-up, however, is valid, as shown in Figure 9. If CS is brought back high before the 10th falling edge of SCLK, the device will return to shutdown mode. This is done to avoid accidentally entering normal mode as a result of noise on the CS line. To exit shutdown mode and remain in normal mode, CS must be kept low until after the 10th falling edge of SCLK. The ADC will be fully powered-up after 16 SCLK cycles. CS line after the 10th and before the 15th fall of SCLK between conversions. A plot of typical power consumption versus throughput is shown in the Typical Performance Curves section. To calculate the power consumption for a given throughput, multiply the fraction of time spent in the normal mode by the normal mode power consumption and add the fraction of time spent in shutdown mode multiplied by the shutdown mode power consumption. Note that the curve of power consumption vs. throughput is essentially linear. This is because the power consumption in the shutdown mode is so small that it can be ignored for all practical purposes. 9.0 POWER SUPPLY NOISE CONSIDERATIONS The charging of any output load capacitance requires current from the power supply, VA. The current pulses required from the supply to charge the output capacitance will cause voltage variations on the supply. If these variations are large enough, they could degrade SNR and SINAD performance of the ADC. Furthermore, discharging the output capacitance when the digital output goes from a logic high to a logic low will dump current into the die substrate, which is resistive. Load discharge currents will cause "ground bounce" noise in the substrate that will degrade noise performance if that current is large enough. The larger the output capacitance, the more current flows through the die substrate and the greater is the noise coupled into the analog channel, degrading noise performance. To keep noise out of the power supply, keep the output load capacitance as small as practical. It is good practice to use a 100 series resistor at the ADC output, located as close to the ADC output pin as practical. This will limit the charge and discharge current of the output capacitance and maintain noise performance. 8.0 POWER MANAGEMENT The ADC takes time to power-up, either after first applying VA, or after returning to normal mode from shutdown mode. This corresponds to one "dummy" conversion for any SCLK frequency within the specifications in this document. After this first dummy conversion, the ADC will perform conversions properly. Note that the tQUIET time must still be included between the first dummy conversion and the second valid conversion. When the VA supply is first applied, the ADC may power up in either of the two modes: normal or shutdown. As such, one dummy conversion should be performed after start-up, as described in the previous paragraph. The part may then be placed into either normal mode or the shutdown mode, as described in Sections 7.1 and 7.2. When the ADC is operated continuously in normal mode, the maximum guaranteed throughput is fSCLK / 20 at the maximum specified fSCLK. Throughput may be traded for power consumption by running fSCLK at its maximum specified rate and performing fewer conversions per unit time, raising the ADC 13 www.national.com ADC101S021 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 6-Lead LLP Order Number ADC101S021CISD or ADC101S021CISDX NS Package Number SDB06A 6-Lead SOT-23 Order Number ADC101S021CIMF, ADC101S021CIMFX NS Package Number MF06A www.national.com 14 ADC101S021 Notes 15 www.national.com ADC101S021 Single Channel, 50 to 200 ksps, 10-Bit A/D Converter Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: www.national.com Products Design Support Amplifiers www.national.com/amplifiers WEBENCH(R) Tools www.national.com/webench Audio www.national.com/audio App Notes www.national.com/appnotes Clock and Timing www.national.com/timing Reference Designs www.national.com/refdesigns Data Converters www.national.com/adc Samples www.national.com/samples Interface www.national.com/interface Eval Boards www.national.com/evalboards LVDS www.national.com/lvds Packaging www.national.com/packaging Power Management www.national.com/power Green Compliance www.national.com/quality/green Switching Regulators www.national.com/switchers Distributors www.national.com/contacts LDOs www.national.com/ldo Quality and Reliability www.national.com/quality LED Lighting www.national.com/led Feedback/Support www.national.com/feedback Voltage References www.national.com/vref Design Made Easy www.national.com/easy www.national.com/powerwise Applications & Markets www.national.com/solutions Mil/Aero www.national.com/milaero PowerWise(R) Solutions Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi Temperature Sensors www.national.com/tempsensors SolarMagicTM www.national.com/solarmagic PLL/VCO www.national.com/wireless www.national.com/training PowerWise(R) Design University THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION ("NATIONAL") PRODUCTS.
