TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD)
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the rms value of the fundamental. For the
AD7863, THD is defined as

where:
V

is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
V

, V

, V

, and V

are the rms amplitudes of the second through
the fifth harmonic.
THD is also derived from the FFT plot of the ADC output
spectrum.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . Intermodulation terms are those for which
neither m nor n is equal to zero. For example, the second order
terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb) and the third order terms
include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa − 2fb).
In this case, the second and third order terms are of different
significance. The second order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves while the third order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.
As a result, the second and third order terms are specified
separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is
as per the THD specification where it is the ratio of the rms
sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude
of the fundamental expressed in dBs. In this case, the input
consists of two equal amplitude, low distortion sine waves.

PEAK HARMONIC OR SPURIOUS NOISE
Harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the rms
value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to f
S
/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the
fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is
determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for
parts where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, the
peak is a noise peak.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
In the automatic power-down mode the part can be operated at
a sample rate that is considerably less than 175 kHz. In this case,
the power consumption is reduced and depends on the sample
rate.
Figure 18 shows a graph of the power consumption vs.
sampling rates from 1 Hz to 100 kHz in the automatic power-
down mode. The conditions are 5 V supply at 25°C.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7863 high speed bus timing allows direct interfacing to
DSP processors as well as modern 16-bit microprocessors.
Suitable microprocessor interfaces are shown in
Figure 19
through
Figure 23.
AD7863 TO ADSP-2100 INTERFACE
Figure 19 shows an interface between the AD7863 and the
ADSP-2100. The
CONVST
signal can be supplied from the
ADSP-2100 or from an external source. The AD7863 BUSY line
provides an interrupt to the ADSP-2100 when conversion is
completed on both channels. The two conversion results can
then be read from the AD7863 using two successive reads to the
same memory address. The following instruction reads one of
the two results:
MR0 = DM (ADC)
where:
MR0 is the ADSP-2100 MR0 register.
ADC is the AD7863 address.

AD7863 TO ADSP-2101/ADSP-2102 INTERFACE
The interface outlined in Figure 19 also forms the basis for an
interface between the AD7863 and the ADSP-2101/ADSP-2102.
The READ line of the ADSP-2101/ADSP-2102 is labeled
RD
. In
this interface, the
RD
pulse width of the processor can be
programmed using the data memory wait state control register.
The instruction used to read one of the two results is as outlined
for the ADSP-2100.
AD7863 TO TMS32010 INTERFACE
An interface between the AD7863 and the TMS32010 is shown
in
Figure 20. Once again the
CONVST
signal can be supplied
from the TMS32010 or from an external source, and the
TMS32010 is interrupted when both conversions have been
completed. The following instruction is used to read the
conversion results from the AD7863:
IN D, ADC
where:
D is data memory address.
ADC is the AD7863 address.

Figure 20. AD7863 to TMS32010 Interface
AD7863 TO TMS320C25 INTERFACE
Figure 21 shows an interface between the AD7863 and the
TMS320C25. As with the two previous interfaces, conversion
can be initiated from the TMS320C25 or from an external
source, and the processor is interrupted when the conversion
sequence is completed. The TMS320C25 does not have a
separate
RD
output to drive the AD7863
RD
input directly. This
has to be generated from the processor
STRB
and R/
W
outputs
with the addition of some logic gates. The
RD
signal is OR
gated with the
MSC
signal to provide the one WAIT state
required in the read cycle for correct interface timing.
Conversion results are read from the AD7863 using the
following instruction:
IN D, ADC
where:
D is data memory address.
ADC is the AD7863 address.
