NOTE: Although there is a V
REF
pin from which a voltage
reference of 2.5 V can be sourced, or to which an external
reference can be applied, this does not provide an option of
varying the value of the voltage reference. As stated in the
specifications for the AD7829-1, the input voltage range at this
pin is 2.5 V ± 2%.
Figure 11. When V
MID
is being
driven by an external source, the source can be directly tied to
the level-shifting circuitry (see
Figure 11); however, if the internal
V
MID
, that is, the default value, is being used as an output, it must
be buffered before applying it to the level-shifting circuitry, because
the V
MID
pin has an impedance of approximately 6 kΩ (see
Analog Input Structure
Figure 12).
Figure 13 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input
structure of the AD7829-1. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide
ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to
ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply
rails by more than 200 mV. This causes these diodes to become
forward biased and start conducting current into the substrate.
20 mA is the maximum current these diodes can conduct
without causing irreversible damage to the part. However, it is
worth noting that a small amount of current (1 mA) conducted
into the substrate due to an overvoltage on an unselected channel
can cause inaccurate conversions on a selected channel.

Capacitor C2 in Figure 13 is typically about 4 pF and can be
primarily attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor, R1, is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance of several
components, including that of the multiplexer and the track-
and-hold. This resistor is typically about 310 Ω. Capacitor C1
is the track-and-hold capacitor and has a capacitance of 0.5 pF.
Switch 1 is the track-and-hold switch, while Switch 2 is that of
the sampling capacitor, as shown in
Figure 4 and Figure 5.

There is a minimum time delay between the falling edge of
RD
and the next falling edge of the
CONVST
signal, t

. This is the
minimum acquisition time required of the track-and-hold to
maintain 8-bit performance.
When in track phase, Switch 1 is closed and Switch 2 is in
Position A; when in hold mode, Switch 1 opens, while Switch 2
remains in Position A. The track-and-hold remains in hold
mode for 120 ns (see the

Analog Input Selection
On power-up, the default V
IN
selection is V
IN1
. When returning
to normal operation from power-down, the V
IN
selected is the
same one that was selected prior to power-down being initiated.
Tabl e 6 shows the multiplexer address corresponding to each
analog input from V
IN1
to V
IN8
for the AD7829-1.

The on-chip track-and-hold can accommodate input
frequencies to 10 MHz, making the AD7829-1 ideal for
subsampling applications. When the AD7829-1 is converting a
10 MHz input signal at a sampling rate of 2 MSPS, the effective
number of bits typically remains above seven, corresponding to
a signal-to-noise ratio of 42 dB, as shown in
1 1 1 V

Channel selection on the AD7829-1 is made without the
necessity of a write operation. The address of the next channel
to be converted is latched at the start of the current read
operation, that is, on the falling edge of

If the falling edge of
occurs after the required power-
up time has elapsed, then it is upon this falling edge that a
conversion is initiated. When using the on-chip reference, it is
necessary to wait the required power-up time of approximately
25 µs before initiating a conversion. That is, a falling edge on
CONVST
must not occur before the required power-up time
has elapsed, when V
DD
is first connected or after the AD7829-1
has been powered down using the
CONVST
pin, as shown in
Figure 17.
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT
Superior power performance can be achieved by using the
automatic power-down (Mode 2) at the end of a conversion
(see the
Figure 16. SNR vs. Input Frequency on the AD7829-1
Operating Modes section).
POWER-UP TIMES
Figure 18 shows how the automatic power-down is implemented
using the
CONVST
signal to achieve the optimum power perform-
ance for the AD7829-1. The duration of the
The AD7829-1 has a 1 µs power-up time when using an
external reference and a 25 s power-up time when using the
on-chip reference. When V
DD
is first connected, the AD7829-1
is in a low current mode of operation. Ensure that the
CONVST
pulse is
set to be equal to or less than the power-up time of the devices
(see the
CONVST
Operating Modes section). As the throughput rate is
reduced, the device remains in its power-down state longer, and the
average power consumption over time drops accordingly.

DD
is applied. If there is a glitch on
CONVST
while V
DD
is rising, the part attempts to power up
before V
DD
has fully settled and may enter an unknown state.
In order to carry out a conversion, the AD7829-1 must first be
powered up.

Figure 18. Automatic Power-Down
For example, if the AD7829-1 is operated in a continuous
sampling mode, with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and using
an external reference, the power consumption is calculated as
follows. The power dissipation during normal operation is
36 mW, V
DD
= 3 V. If the power-up time is 1 s and the conversion
time is 330 ns (@ +25°C), the AD7829-1 can be said to dissipate
36 mW (maximum) for 1.33 µs during each conversion cycle.
If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 s and
the average power dissipated during each cycle is (1.33/10) ×
(36 mW) = 4.79 mW. This calculation uses the minimum
conversion time, thus giving the best-case power dissipation at
this throughput rate. However, the actual power dissipated
during each conversion cycle may increase, depending on the
actual conversion time (up to a maximum of 420 ns).
Figure 17. AD7829-1 Power-Up Time
CONVST
The AD7829-1 is powered up by a rising edge on the
pin. A conversion is initiated on the falling edge of
CONVST
.
Figure 17 shows how to power up the AD7829-1 when V
DD
is
first connected or after the AD7829-1 has been powered down
using the
CONVST
pin when using either the on-chip reference
or an external reference. When using an external reference, the
falling edge of
CONVST
may occur before the required power-
up time has elapsed. However, the conversion is not initiated on
the falling edge of
CONVST
but rather at the moment when the
part has completely powered up, that is, after 1 µs.
