AD7811/AD7812CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONSUPPLY2.7V TO 5.5VConverter OperationTHREE-WIRE The AD7811 and AD7812 are successive approximation analog- 10 F0.1 F10nFSERIAL INTERFACE to-digital converters based around a charge redistribution DAC. The ADCs can convert analog input signals in the range 0 V to VVREF V DDCREF DD. Figures 2 and 3 show simplified schematics of the ADC. Figure 2 shows the ADC during its acquisition phase. SW2 is SCLKVIN1 closed and SW1 is in position A, the comparator is held in a DOUTV balanced condition and the sampling capacitor acquires the IN2AD7811/0V TO signal on V DINµC/µP IN.

The two diodes D1 and D2 When the ADC starts a conversion, see Figure 3, SW2 will provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be open and SW1 will move to position B causing the comparator taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the to become unbalanced.

This will cause these diodes Redistribution DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts to become forward biased and start conducting current into of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator the substrate. 20 mA is the maximum current these diodes can back into a balanced condition.

The Control Logic generates ever, it is worth noting that a small amount of current (1 mA) the ADC output code. Figure 10 shows the ADC transfer being conducted into the substrate due to an overvoltage on an function. unselected channel can cause inaccurate conversions on a selected channel. The capacitor C2 in Figure 5 is typically about CHARGE 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. The REDISTRIBUTIONDAC resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on resistance SAMPLING of a multiplexer and a switch. This resistor is typically about CAPACITORAV 125 Ω. The capacitor C1 is the ADC sampling capacitor and INCONTROLSW1LOGIC has a capacitance of 3.5 pF. BCONVERSIONPHASECOMPARATORSW2VAGNDDDCLOCKOSCVDD/3D1C1 Figure 3.

If the AD7811 or AD7812 is not ured as single ended with respect to analog ground (AGND), sharing a serial bus with another AD7811 or AD7812 then A0 as pseudo differential with respect to a common, and also as (package address pin) should be hardwired low. The default pseudo differential pairs—see Control Register section. power up value of the package address bit in the control register is 0. For applications where power consumption is of concern, the automatic power down at the end of a conversion should be used to improve power performance.
