Unlike the conventional practice of specifying performance at a single sample rate only, the ADC124S021 is fully specified over a sample rate range of 50 ksps to 200 ksps. The converter is based on a successive-approximation register architecture with an internal track-and-hold circuit. It can be configured to accept up to four input signals at inputs IN1 through IN4. 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 ADC124S021 operates with a single supply that can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption using a +3V or +5V supply is 2.2 mW and 7.9 mW, respectively. The power-down feature reduces the power consumption to just 0.14 W using a +3V supply, or 0.32 W using a +5V supply. The ADC124S021 is packaged in a 10-lead VSSOP package. Operation over the industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C is ensured. These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates. Table 1.

Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified. If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications. 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. 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. Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through zero ohms.

That is, it is time required for the hold capacitor to charge up to the input voltage. APERTURE DELAY is the time between the fourth falling SCLK edge of a conversion and the time when the input signal is acquired or held for conversion. CONVERSION TIME is the time required, after the input voltage is acquired, for the ADC to convert the input voltage to a digital word. CROSSTALK is the coupling of energy from one channel into the other channel, or the amount of signal energy from one analog input that appears at the measured analog input. 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. FULL SCALE ERROR (FSE) is a measure of how far the last code transition is from the ideal 11/2 LSB below VREF+ and is defined as: VFSE = Vmax + 1.5 LSB - VREF+ where * * Vmax is the voltage at which the transition to the maximum code occurs FSE can be expressed in Volts, LSB or percent of full scale range Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2005-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADC124S021 (1) 7 ADC124S021 SNAS277F - MARCH 2005 - REVISED MARCH 2013 www.ti.com 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. 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 power in one of the original frequencies. IMD is usually expressed in dB. MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. These codes cannot be reached with any input value. The ADC124S021 is ensured 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 d.c. or the harmonics included in THD. 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 THD = 20 log10 A f 22 + + A f 62 A f12 where * * Af1 is the RMS power of the input frequency at the output Af2 through Af6 are the RMS power in the first 5 harmonic frequencies (2) THROUGHPUT TIME is the minimum time required between the start of two successive conversion. It is the acquisition time plus the conversion and read out times. In the case of the ADC124S021, this is 16 SCLK periods. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2005-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADC124S021 ADC124S021 www.ti.com SNAS277F - MARCH 2005 - REVISED MARCH 2013 Typical Performance Characteristics TA = +25C, fSAMPLE = 50 ksps to 200 ksps, fSCLK = 0.8 MHz to 3.2 MHz, fIN = 39.9 kHz unless otherwise stated.

Simplified schematics of the ADC124S021 in both track and hold modes are shown in Figure 46, and Figure 47, respectively. In Figure 46, the ADC124S021 is in track mode: switch SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to one of four analog input channels through the multiplexer, and SW2 balances the comparator inputs. The ADC124S021 is in this state for the first three SCLK cycles after CS is brought low. Figure 47 shows the ADC124S021 in hold mode: switch SW1 connects the sampling capacitor to ground, maintaining the sampled voltage, and switch SW2 unbalances the comparator. The control logic then instructs the charge-redistribution DAC to add fixed amounts of charge to 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 ADC124S021 is in this state for the fourth through sixteenth SCLK cycles after CS is brought low. The time when CS is low is considered a serial frame. Each of these frames should contain an integer multiple of 16 SCLK cycles, during which time a conversion is performed and clocked out at the DOUT pin and data is clocked into the DIN pin to indicate the multiplexer address for the next conversion.

ADC124S021 in Hold Mode 2.0 USING THE ADC124S021 Figure 2 and Figure 4 for the ADC124S021 are shown in Timing Diagrams. CS is chip select, which initiates conversions and frames the serial data transfers. SCLK (serial clock) controls both the conversion process and the timing of serial data. DOUT is the serial data output pin, where a conversion result is sent as a serial data stream, MSB first. Data to be written to the ADC124S021's Control Register is placed on DIN, the serial data input pin. New data is written to the ADC at DIN with each conversion. A serial frame is initiated on the falling edge of CS and ends on the rising edge of CS. Each frame must contain an integer multiple of 16 rising SCLK edges. The ADC output data (DOUT) is in a high impedance state when CS is high and is active when CS is low. Thus, CS acts as an output enable. Additionally, the device goes into a power down state when CS is high, and also between continuous conversion cycles. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2005-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADC124S021 ADC124S021 www.ti.com SNAS277F - MARCH 2005 - REVISED MARCH 2013 During the first 3 cycles of SCLK, the ADC is in the track mode, acquiring the input voltage. For the next 13 SCLK cycles the conversion is accomplished and the data is clocked out, MSB first, starting on the 5th clock. If there is more than one conversion in a frame, the ADC will re-enter the track mode on the falling edge of SCLK after the N*16th rising edge of SCLK, and re-enter the hold/convert mode on the N*16+4th falling edge of SCLK, where "N" is an integer. When CS is brought high, SCLK is internally gated off. If SCLK is stopped in the low state while CS is high, the subsequent fall of CS will generate a falling edge of the internal version of SCLK, putting the ADC into the track mode. This is seen by the ADC as the first falling edge of SCLK. If SCLK is stopped with SCLK high, the ADC enters the track mode on the first falling edge of SCLK after the falling edge of CS. During each conversion, data is clocked into the DIN pin on the first 8 rising edges of SCLK after the fall of CS. For each conversion, it is necessary to clock in the data indicating the input that is selected for the conversion after the current one. See Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4. If CS and SCLK go low within the times defined by tCSU and tCLH, the rising edge of SCLK that begins clocking data in at DIN may be one clock cycle later than expected. It is, therefore, best to strictly observe the minimum tCSU and tCLH times given in ADC124S021 Timing Specifications . There are no power-up delays or dummy conversions required with the ADC124S021. The ADC is able to sample and convert an input to full conversion immediately following power up. The first conversion result after power-up will be that of IN1. Table 2.

Code transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB values. The LSB width for the ADC124S021 is VA/4096. The ideal transfer characteristic is shown in Figure 3. The transition from an output code of 0000 0000 0000 to a code of 0000 0000 0001 is at 1/2 LSB, or a voltage of VA/8192. Other code transitions occur at steps of one LSB.

Ideal Transfer Characteristic 4.0 TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT A typical application of the ADC124S021 is shown in Figure 49. Power is provided in this example by the Texas Instruments 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 ADC124S021. Because the reference for the ADC124S021 is the supply voltage, any noise on the supply will degrade device noise performance. 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 ADC124S021 supply pin. Because of the ADC124S021's low power requirements, it is also possible to use a precision reference as a power supply to maximize performance. The four-wire interface is also shown connected to a microprocessor or DSP. LP2950 1 PF TANT VA IN1 IN2 IN3 1 PF 0.1 PF SCLK ADC124S021 IN4 0.1 PF 5V CS DIN MICROPROCESSOR DSP DOUT GND Figure 49. Typical Application Circuit 5.0 ANALOG INPUTS An equivalent circuit for one of the ADC124S021's input channels is shown in Figure 5. Diodes D1 and D2 provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. At no time should any 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, these ESD diodes should NOT be used to clamp the input signal. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2005-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADC124S021 ADC124S021 www.ti.com SNAS277F - MARCH 2005 - REVISED MARCH 2013 The capacitor C1 in Figure 5 has a typical value of 3 pF, and is mainly the package pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is the on resistance of the multiplexer and track / hold switch, and is typically 500 ohms. Capacitor C2 is the ADC124S021 sampling capacitor, and is typically 30 pF. The ADC124S021 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 ADC124S021 to sample AC signals. Also important when sampling dynamic signals is a band-pass or low-pass filter to reduce harmonics and noise, improving dynamic performance.

Equivalent Input Circuit 6.0 DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The ADC124S021's digital output DOUT is limited by, and cannot exceed, the supply voltage, VA. The digital input pins are not prone to latch-up and, and although not recommended, SCLK, CS and DIN may be asserted before VA without any latch-up risk. 7.0 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS The ADC124S021 is fully powered-up whenever CS is low, and fully powered-down whenever CS is high, with one exception: the ADC124S021 automatically enters power-down mode between the 16th falling edge of a conversion and the 1st falling edge of the subsequent conversion (see Timing Diagramss). The ADC124S021 can perform multiple conversions back to back; each conversion requires 16 SCLK cycles. The ADC124S021 will perform conversions continuously as long as CS is held low. The user may trade off throughput for power consumption by simply performing fewer conversions per unit time. Figure 45 in Typical Performance Characteristics shows the typical power consumption of the ADC124S021 versus throughput. To calculate the power consumption, simply 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 dissipation. 7.1 Power Management When the ADC124S021 is operated continuously in normal mode, the maximum throughput is fSCLK/16. Throughput may be traded for power consumption by running fSCLK at its maximum 3.2 MHz and performing fewer conversions per unit time, putting the ADC124S021 into shutdown mode between conversions. Figure 45 is shown in Typical Performance Characteristics. 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. Generally, the user will put the part into normal mode and then put the part back into shutdown mode. Note that Figure 45 is nearly linear. This is because the power consumption in the shutdown mode is so small that it can be ignored for all practical purposes.

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 is 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. If the load capacitance is greater than 35 pF, 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 improve noise performance. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2005-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADC124S021 ADC124S021 www.ti.com SNAS277F - MARCH 2005 - REVISED MARCH 2013 REVISION HISTORY Changes from Revision E (March 2013) to Revision F * Page Changed layout of National Data Sheet to TI format .......................................................................................................... 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2005-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADC124S021 21 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 1-Nov-2013 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) ADC124S021CIMM/NOPB Package Type Package Pins Package Drawing Qty Eco Plan Lead/Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (2) (6) (3) Op Temp (C) Device Marking Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU SN Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 85 X21C (4/5) ACTIVE VSSOP DGS 10 1000 ADC124S021CIMMX NRND VSSOP DGS 10 3500 TBD Call TI Call TI -40 to 85 X21C ADC124S021CIMMX/NOPB ACTIVE VSSOP DGS 10 3500 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU SN Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 85 X21C (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
