Tied Low
Mode 2 (Partial or Full Sleep Mode)
Figure 21 shows the AD7492 in Mode 2 operation where the
ADC goes into either partial or full sleep mode after
conversion. The
CONVST
line is brought low to initiate a
conversion and remains low until after the end of the
conversion. If
CONVST
goes high and low again while BUSY is
high, the conversion is restarted. Once the BUSY line goes from
high-to-low, the
CONVST
line has its status checked and, if low,
the part enters a sleep mode. The type of sleep mode the
AD7492 enters depends on what way the PS/
FS
pin is
hardwired. If the PS/
FS
pin is tied high, the AD7492 enters
partial sleep mode. If the PS/
FS
pin is tied low, the AD7492
enters full sleep mode.
The device wakes up again on the rising edge of the
CONVST
signal. From partial sleep the AD7492 is capable of starting
conversions typically 1 μs after the rising edge of
CONVST
. The
CONVST
line can go from high-to-low during the wake-up time,
but the conversion is still not initiated until after 1 μs. It is
recommended that the conversion should not be initiated until at
least 20 μs of the wake-up time has elapsed. This ensures that the
AD7492 has stabilized to within 0.5 LSB of the analog input value.
After 1 μs, the AD7492 has only stabilized to within approxi-
mately 3 LSB of the input value. From full sleep, this wake-up
time is typically 500 μs. In all cases the BUSY line only goes high
once
CONVST
goes low. Superior power performance can be
achieved in these modes of operation by waking up the AD7492
only to carry out a conversion. The optimum power performance
is obtained when using full sleep mode as the ADC comparator,
reference buffer, and reference circuit are powered down. While
in partial sleep mode, only the ADC comparator is powered
down and the reference buffer is put into a low power mode. The
100 nF capacitor on the REF OUT pin is kept charged up by the
reference buffer in partial sleep mode while in full sleep mode
this capacitor slowly discharges. This explains why the wake-up
time is shorter in partial sleep mode. In both sleep modes the
clock oscillator circuit is powered down.

Figure 21. Mode 2 Operation
V
DRIVE
The V
DRIVE
pin is used as the voltage supply to the digital output
drivers and the digital input circuitry. It is a separate supply
from AV
DD
and DV
DD
. The purpose of using a separate supply
for the digital input/output interface is that the user can vary
the output high voltage, V
OH
, and the logic input levels, V
INH
and V
INL
, from the V
DD
supply to the AD7492. For example, if
AV
DD
and DV
DD
are using a 5 V supply, the V
DRIVE
pin can be
powered from a 3 V supply. The ADC has better dynamic
performance at 5 V than at 3 V, so operating the part at 5 V,
while still being able to interface to 3 V parts, pushes the
AD7492 to the top bracket of high performance 12-bit ADCs.
Of course, the ADC can have its V
DRIVE
and DV
DD
pins
connected together and be powered from a 3 V or 5 V supply.
The trigger levels are V
DRIVE
× 0.7 and V
DRIVE
× 0.3 for the digital
inputs. The pins that are powered from V
DRIVE
are DB11 to DB0,
CS
,
RD
,
CONVST
, and BUSY.
PS/
FS
PIN
As previously mentioned, the PS/
FS
pin is used to control the
type of power-down mode that the AD7492 can enter into if
operated in Mode 2. This pin can be hardwired either high or
low, or even controlled by another device. It is important to
note that toggling the PS/
FS
pin while in power-down mode
does not switch the part between partial sleep and full sleep
modes. To switch from one sleep mode to another, the AD7492
has to be powered up and the polarity of the PS/
FS
pin changed.
It can then be powered down to the required sleep mode.
POWER-UP
It is recommended that the user performs a dummy conversion
after power-up, as the first conversion result could be incorrect.
This also ensures that the part is in the correct mode of
operation. The recommended power-up sequence is as follows:
1. GND
2. V
DD
3. V
DRIVE
4. Digital Inputs
5. V

Power vs. Throughput
The two modes of operation for the AD7492 produces different
power vs. throughput performances, Mode 1 and Mode 2; see
the
Operating Modes section of the data sheet for more detailed
descriptions of these modes. Mode 2 is the sleep mode
(partial/full) of the part and it achieves the optimum power
performance.
Mode 1
Figure 22 shows the AD7492 conversion sequence in Mode 1
using a throughput rate of 500 kSPS. At 5 V supply, the current
consumption for the part when converting is 3 mA and the
quiescent current is 1.8 mA. The conversion time of 880 ns
contributes 6.6 mW to the overall power dissipation in the
following way:
(880 ns/2 μs) × (5 × 3 mA) = 6.6 mW
The contribution to the total power dissipated by the remaining
1.12 μs of the cycle is 5.04 mW
(1.12 μs/2 μs) × (5 × 1.8 mA) = 5.04 mW
Thus the power dissipated during each cycle is
6.6 mW + 5.04 mW = 11.64 mW

Mode 2 (Full Sleep Mode)
Figure 23 shows the AD7492 conversion sequence in Mode 2,
full sleep mode, using a throughput rate of approximately
100 kSPS. At 5 V supply the current consumption for the part
when converting is 3 mA, while the full sleep current is 1 μA
maximum. The power dissipated during this power-down is
negligible and thus not worth considering in the total power
figure. During the wake-up phase, the AD7492 draws typically
1.8 mA. Overall power dissipated is
(880 ns/10 ms) × (5 × 3 mA) + (500 μs/10 ms) × (5 × 1.8 mA)
= 451.32 μW

Mode 2 (Partial Sleep Mode)
Figure 24 shows the AD7492 conversion sequence in Mode 2,
partial sleep mode, using a throughput rate of 1 kSPS. At 5 V
supply, the current consumption for the part when converting is
3 mA, while the partial sleep current is 250 μA maximum.
During the wake-up phase, the AD7492 typically draws 1.8 mA.
Power dissipated during wake-up and conversion is
(880 ns/1 ms) × (5 × 3 mA) + (20 μs/1 ms) × (5 × 1.8 mA) =
193.2 mW
Power dissipated during power-down is
(979 μs/1 ms) × (5 × 250 μA) = 1.22 mW
Overall power dissipated is
193.2 μW + 1.22 mW = 1.41 mW
