ADC0844/ADC0848

8-Bit μP Compatible A/D Converters with Multiplexer

Options

General Description

The ADC0844 and ADC0848 are CMOS 8-bit successive ap-

proximation A/D converters with versatile analog input multi-

plexers. The 4-channel or 8-channel multiplexers can be

software configured for single-ended, differential or pseudo-

differential modes of operation.

The differential mode provides low frequency input common

mode rejection and allows offsetting the analog range of the

converter. In addition, the A/D's reference can be adjusted

enabling the conversion of reduced analog ranges with 8-bit

resolution.

The A/Ds are designed to operate from the control bus of a

wide variety of microprocessors. TRI-STATE output latches

that directly drive the data bus permit the A/Ds to be config-

ured as memory locations or I/O devices to the microproces-

sor with no interface logic necessary.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating

the device beyond its specified operating conditions.

Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pins.

Note 3: When the input voltage (VIN) at any pin exceeds the power supply rails (VIN < V−or VIN > V+) the absolute value of the current at that pin should be limited

to 5 mA or less. The 20 mA package input current limits the number of pins that can exceed the power supply boundaries with a 5 mA current limit to four.

Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.

Note 5: Typical figures are at 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm.

Note 6: Tested limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).

Note 7: Design limits are guaranteed by not 100% tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels.

Note 8: Total unadjusted error includes offset, full-scale, linearity, and multiplexer error.

Note 9: For VIN (−) ≥ VIN(+) the digital output code will be 0000 0000. Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input, which will forward-conduct for analog

input voltages one diode drop below ground or one diode drop greater than VCC supply. Be careful during testing at low VCC levels (4.5V), as high level analog

inputs (5V) can cause this input diode to conduct, especially at elevated temperatures, and cause errors for analog inputs near full-scale. The spec allows 50 mV

forward bias of either diode. This means that as long as the analog VIN does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50 mV, the output code will be correct.

To achieve an absolute 0 VDC to 5 VDC input voltage range will therefore require a minimum supply voltage of 4.950 VDC over temperature variations, initial

tolerance and loading.

Note 10: Off channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.

Note 11: The temperature coefficient is 0.3%/°C.

ADC0844/ADC0848

Functional Description

The ADC0844 and ADC0848 contain a 4-channel and 8-

channel analog input multiplexer (MUX) respectively. Each

MUX can be configured into one of three modes of operation

differential, pseudo-differential, and single ended. These

modes are discussed in the Applications Information Section.

The specific mode is selected by loading the MUX address

latch with the proper address (see Table 1 and Table 2). In-

puts to the MUX address latch (MA0-MA4) are common with

data bus lines (DB0-DB4) and are enabled when the RD line

is high. A conversion is initiated via the CS and WR lines. If

the data from a previous conversion is not read, the INTR line

will be low. The falling edge of WR will reset the INTR line

high and ready the A/D for a conversion cycle. The rising edge

of WR, with RD high, strobes the data on the MA0/DB0-MA4/

DB4 inputs into the MUX address latch to select a new input

configuration and start a conversion. If the RD line is held low

during the entire low period of WR the previous MUX config-

uration is retained, and the data of the previous conversion is

the output on lines DB0-DB7. After the conversion cycle (tC

≤ 40 μs), which is set by the internal clock frequency, the dig-

ital data is transferred to the output latch and the INTR is

asserted low. Taking CS and RD low resets INTR output high

and outputs the conversion result on the data lines (DB0-

DB7).

Applications Information

1.0 MULTIPLEXER CONFIGURATION

The design of these converters utilizes a sampled-data com-

parator structure which allows a differential analog input to be

converted by a successive approximation routine.

The actual voltage converted is always the difference be-

tween an assigned “+” input terminal and a “−” input terminal.

The polarity of each input terminal of the pair being converted

indicates which line the converter expects to be the most pos-

itive. If the assigned “+” input is less than the “−” input the

converter responds with an all zeros output code.

A unique input multiplexing scheme has been utilized to pro-

vide multiple analog channels. The input channels can be

software configured into three modes: differential, single end-

ed, or pseudo-differential. Figure 1 shows the three modes

using the 4-channel MUX ADC0844. The eight inputs of the

ADC0848 can also be configured in any of the three modes.

In the differential mode, the ADC0844 channel inputs are

grouped in pairs, CH1 with CH2 and CH3 with CH4. The po-

larity assignment of each channel in the pair is interchange-

able. The single-ended mode has CH1–CH4 assigned as the

positive input with the negative input being the analog ground

(AGND) of the device. Finally, in the pseudo-differential mode

CH1–CH3 are positive inputs referenced to CH4 which is now

a pseudo-ground. This pseudo-ground input can be set to any

potential within the input common-mode range of the con-

verter. The analog signal conditioning required in transducer-

based data acquisition systems is significantly simplified with

this type of input flexibility. One converter package can now

handle ground referenced inputs and true differential inputs

as well as signals with some arbitrary reference voltage.

The analog input voltages for each channel can range from

50 mV below ground to 50 mV above VCC (typically 5V) with-

out degrading conversion accuracy.

FIGURE 1. Analog Input Multiplexer Options

2.0 REFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS

The voltage applied to the reference input of these converters

defines the voltage span of the analog input (the difference

between VIN(MAX) and VIN(MIN)) over which the 256 possible

output codes apply. The devices can be used in either ratio-

metric applications or in systems requiring absolute accuracy.

The reference pin must be connected to a voltage source ca-

pable of driving the minimum reference input resistance of 1.1

kΩ. This pin is the top of a resistor divider string used for the

successive approximation conversion.

In a ratiometric system (Figure 2a), the analog input voltage

is proportional to the voltage used for the A/D reference. This

voltage is typically the system power supply, so the VREF pin

can be tied to VCC. This technique relaxes the stability re-

quirements of the system reference as the analog input and

A/D reference move together maintaining the same output

code for a given input condition. For absolute accuracy (Fig-

ure 2b), where the analog input varies between very specific

voltage limits, the reference pin can be biased with a time and

temperature stable voltage source. The LM385 and LM336

reference diodes are good low current devices to use with

these converters.

The maximum value of the reference is limited to the VCC

supply voltage. The minimum value, however, can be quite

small (see Typical Performance Characteristics) to allow di-

rect conversions of transducer outputs providing less than a

5V output span. Particular care must be taken with regard to

noise pickup, circuit layout and system error voltage sources

when operating with a reduced span due to the increased

sensitivity of the converter (1 LSB equals VREF/256).

ADC0844/ADC0848

3.0 THE ANALOG INPUTS

3.1 Analog Differential Voltage Inputs and Common-

Mode Rejection

The differential input of these converters actually reduces the

effects of common-mode input noise, a signal common to

both selected “+” and “−” inputs for a conversion (60 Hz is

most typical). The time interval between sampling the “+” input

and then the “−” inputs is ½ of a clock period. The change in

the common-mode voltage during this short time interval can

cause conversion errors. For a sinusoidal common-mode sig-

nal this error is:

501638

where fCM is the frequency of the common-mode signal,

Vpeak is its peak voltage value and tC is the conversion time.

For a 60 Hz common-mode signal to generate a ¼ LSB error

(≈5 mV) with the converter running at 40 μS, its peak value

would have to be 5.43V. This large a common-mode signal is

much greater than that generally found in a well designed data

acquisition system.

3.2 Input Current

Due to the sampling nature of the analog inputs, short dura-

tion spikes of current enter the “+” input and exit the “−” input

at the clock edges during the actual conversion. These cur-

rents decay rapidly and do not cause errors as the internal

comparator is strobed at the end of a clock period. Bypass

capacitors at the inputs will average these currents and cause

an effective DC current to flow through the output resistance

of the analog signal source. Bypass capacitors should not be

used if the source resistance is greater than 1 kΩ.

3.3 Input Source Resistance

The limitation of the input source resistance due to the DC

leakage currents of the input multiplexer is important. A worst-

case leakage current of ± 1 μA over temperature will create a

1 mV input error with a 1 kΩ source resistance. An op amp

RC active low pass filter can provide both impedance buffer-

ing and noise filtering should a high impedance signal source

be required.

4.0 OPTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS

4.1 Zero Error

The zero of the A/D does not require adjustment. If the mini-

mum analog input voltage value, VIN(MIN), is not ground, a zero

offset can be done. The converter can be made to output 0000

0000 digital code for this minimum input voltage by biasing

any VIN (−) input at this VIN(MIN) value. This is useful for either

differential or pseudo-differential modes of input channel con-

figuration.

The zero error of the A/D converter relates to the location of

the first riser of the transfer function and can be measured by

www.national.com 12

ADC0844/ADC0848

grounding the V− input and applying a small magnitude pos-

itive voltage to the V+ input. Zero error is the difference

between actual DC input voltage which is necessary to just

cause an output digital code transition from 0000 0000 to

0000 0001 and the ideal ½ LSB value (½ LSB=9.8 mV for

VREF=5.000 VDC).

4.2 Full-Scale

The full-scale adjustment can be made by applying a differ-

ential input voltage which is 1 ½ LSB down from the desired

analog full-scale voltage range and then adjusting the mag-

nitude of the VREF input for a digital output code changing from

1111 1110 to 1111 1111.

4.3 Adjusting for an Arbitrary Analog Input Voltage

Range

If the analog zero voltage of the A/D is shifted away from

ground (for example, to accommodate an analog input signal

which does not go to ground), this new zero reference should

be properly adjusted first. A VIN (+) voltage which equals this

desired zero reference plus ½ LSB (where the LSB is calcu-

lated for the desired analog span, 1 LSB = analog span/256)

is applied to selected “+” input and the zero reference voltage

at the corresponding “−” input should then be adjusted to just

obtain the 00HEX to 01HEX code transition.

501616

a) Ratiometric

501617

b) Absolute with a Reduced Span

FIGURE 2. Referencing Examples

The full-scale adjustment should be made [with the proper

VIN (−) voltage applied] by forcing a voltage to the VIN (+) input

which is given by:

where VMAX=the high end of the analog input range and

VMIN=the low end (the offset zero) of the analog range. (Both

are ground referenced.)

The VREF (or VCC) voltage is then adjusted to provide a code

change from FEHEX to FFHEX. This completes the adjustment

procedure.
