Determines whether the part operates in its external clocking (slave) or self-clocking (master) serial mode. With SMODE at a logic low, the part is in its self-clocking serial mode with RFS and SCLK as outputs. This self-clocking mode is useful for connection to shift registers or to serial ports of DSP processors. With SMODE at a logic high, the part is in its external clocking serial mode with SCLK and RFS as inputs. This external clocking mode is useful for connection to the serial port of microcontrollers, such as the 8xC51 and the 68HCxx, and for connection to the serial ports of DSP processors. 3 DGND Digital Ground. Ground reference for digital circuitry. 4 CEXT External Capacitor. An external capacitor is connected to this pin to determine the length of the internal pulse (see the Control Register section). Larger capacitances on this pin extend the pulse to allow for settling time delays through an external antialiasing filter or signal conditioning circuitry. 5 CONVST Convert Start. Edge-triggered logic input. A low-to-high transition on this input puts the track/hold into hold and initiates conversion if the internal pulse has timed out (see the Control Register section). If the internal pulse is active when the CONVST goes high, the track/hold does not proceed to hold until the pulse times out. If the internal pulse times out when CONVST goes high, the rising edge of CONVST drives the track/hold into hold and initiates conversion. 6 CLK IN Clock Input. An external TTL-compatible clock is applied to this input pin to provide the clock source for the conversion sequence. In the self-clocking serial mode, the SCLK output is derived from this CLK IN pin. 7 SCLK Serial Clock Input. In the external clocking (slave) mode (see the Serial Interface section), this is an externally applied serial clock used to load serial data to the control register and to access data from the output register. In the self-clocking (master) mode, the internal serial clock, which is derived from the clock input (CLK IN), appears on this pin. Once again, it is used to load serial data to the control register and to access data from the output register. 8 TFS Transmit Frame Synchronization Pulse. Active low logic input with serial data expected after the falling edge of this signal. 9 RFS Receive Frame Synchronization Pulse. In the external clocking mode, this pin is an active low logic input with RFS provided externally as a strobe or framing pulse to access serial data from the output register. In the self- clocking mode, it is an active low output, which is internally generated and provides a strobe or framing pulse for serial data from the output register. For applications which require that data be transmitted and received at the same time, RFS and TFS should be connected together. 10 DATA OUT Serial Data Output. Sixteen bits of serial data are provided with one leading zero, preceding the three address bits of the control register and the 12 bits of conversion data. Serial data is valid on the falling edge of SCLK for sixteen edges after RFS goes low. Output coding from the ADC is twos complement for the AD7890-10 and straight binary for the AD7890-4 and AD7890-2. 11 DATA IN Serial Data Input. Serial data to be loaded to the control register is provided at this input. The first five bits of serial data are loaded to the control register on the first five falling edges of SCLK after TFS goes low. Serial data on subsequent SCLK edges is ignored while TFS remains low. 12 VDD Positive Supply Voltage, 5 V ± 5%. 13 MUX OUT Multiplexer Output. The output of the multiplexer appears at this pin. The output voltage range from this output is 0 V to 2.5 V for the nominal analog input range to the selected channel. The output impedance of this output is nominally 3.5 kΩ. If no external antialiasing filter is required, MUX OUT should be connected to SHA IN. Rev.
