TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 27 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7273/
AD7274. An external reference must be applied to the ADC.
This reference can be in the range of 1.4 V to V
DD
. A precision
reference, such as the REF19x family or the ADR421, can be
used to supply the reference voltage to the AD7273/AD7274.
The conversion result is output in a 16-bit word with two leading
zeros followed by the 12-bit or 10-bit result. The 12-bit result from
the AD7274 is followed by two trailing zeros, and the 10-bit result
from the AD7273 is followed by four trailing zeros.
Table 7 provides some typical performance data with various
references under the same setup conditions for the AD7274.

ANALOG INPUT
Figure 28 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input
structure of the AD7273/AD7274. 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 300 mV. Signals exceeding this value
cause these diodes to become forward biased and to start
conducting current into the substrate. These diodes can
conduct a maximum current of 10 mA without causing
irreversible damage to the part. Capacitor C1 in
Figure 28 is
typically about 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin
capacitance. Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the
on resistance of a switch. This resistor is typically about 75 Ω.
Capacitor C2 is the ADC sampling capacitor and has a capacitance
of 32 pF typically. For ac applications, removing high frequency
components from the analog input signal is recommended by
using a band-pass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In
applications where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise
ratio are critical, the analog input should be driven from a low
impedance source. Large source impedances significantly affect
the ac performance of the ADCs. This may necessitate the use
of an input buffer amplifier. The AD8021 op amp is compatible
with this device; however, the choice of the op amp is a function
of the particular application.

Figure 28. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to a low value. The maximum source
impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated.
The THD increases as the source impedance increases and perfor-
mance degrades.
Figure 14 shows a graph of the THD vs. the
analog input frequency for different source impedances when
using a supply voltage of 3 V and sampling at a rate of 3 MSPS.
DIGITAL INPUTS
The digital inputs applied to the AD7273/AD7274 are not
limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs.
Instead, the digital inputs can be applied at up to 6 V and are
not restricted by the V
DD
+ 0.3 V limit of the analog inputs. For
example, if the AD7273/AD7274 were operated with a V
DD
of
3 V, then 5 V logic levels could be used on the digital inputs.
However, it is important to note that the data output on SDATA
still has 3 V logic levels when V
DD
= 3 V. Another advantage of
SCLK and
CS
not being restricted by the V
DD
+ 0.3 V limit is
that power supply sequencing issues are avoided. For example,
unlike with the analog inputs, with the digital inputs, if
CS
or
SCLK are applied before V
DD
, there is no risk of latch-up.

MODES OF OPERATION
The mode of operation of the AD7273/AD7274 is selected by
controlling the logic state of the
CS
signal during a conversion.
There are three possible modes of operation: normal mode,
partial power-down mode, and full power-down mode. The
point at which
CS
is pulled high after the conversion is initiated
determines which power-down mode, if any, the device enters.
Similarly, if the device is already in power-down mode,
CS
can
control whether the device returns to normal operation or
remains in power-down mode. These modes of operation are
designed to provide flexible power management options, which
can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput
rate ratio for different application requirements.
NORMAL MODE
This mode is intended for fastest throughput rate performance
because the AD7273/AD7274 remain fully powered at all times,
eliminating worry about power-up times. Figure 29 shows the
general diagram of the operation of the AD7273/AD7274 in
this mode.
The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of
CS
as described
in the Serial Interface section. To ensure that the part remains
fully powered up at all times,
CS
must remain low until at least
10 SCLK falling edges elapse after the falling edge of
CS
. If
CS
is
brought high any time after the 10
th
SCLK falling, but before the
16
th
SCLK falling edge, the part remains powered up, but the
conversion is terminated, and SDATA goes back into three-state.
For the AD7274, a minimum of 14 serial clock cycles are
required to complete the conversion and access the complete
conversion result. For the AD7273, a minimum of 12 serial
clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access
the complete conversion result.
CS
can idle high until the next conversion or low until
CS
returns high before the next conversion (effectively idling
CS
low). Once a data transfer is complete (SDATA has returned to
three-state), another conversion can be initiated after the quiet
time, t
QUIET
, has elapsed by bringing
CS
low again.
PARTIAL POWER-DOWN MODE
This mode is intended for use in applications where slower
throughput rates are required. An example of this is when either
the ADC is powered down between each conversion or a series
of conversions is performed at a high throughput rate and then
the ADC is powered down for a relatively long duration between
these bursts of several conversions.
When the AD7273/AD7274 are in partial power-down mode,
all analog circuitry is powered down except the bias generation
circuit.
To enter partial power-down mode, interrupt the conversion
process by bringing
CS
high between the second and 10
th
falling
edges of SCLK, as shown in
Figure 30. Once
CS
is brought high
in this window of SCLKs, the part enters partial power-down
mode, the conversion that was initiated by the falling edge of
CS
is terminated, and SDATA goes back into three-state. If
CS
is brought high before the second SCLK falling edge, the part
remains in normal mode and does not power down. This prevents
accidental power-down due to glitches on the
CS
line.
To exit this mode of operation and power up the AD7274/
AD7273, perform a dummy conversion. On the falling edge of
CS
, the device begins to power up and continues to power up as
long as
CS
is held low until after the falling edge of the 10
th
SCLK.
The device is fully powered up once 16 SCLKs elapse; valid data
results from the next conversion, as shown in
Figure 31. If
CS
is
brought high before the 10
th
falling edge of SCLK, the AD7274/
AD7273 goes into full power-down mode. Therefore, although
the device may begin to power up on the falling edge of
CS
, it
powers down on the rising edge of
CS
as long as this occurs
before the 10
th
SCLK falling edge.
If the AD7273/AD7274 is already in partial power-down mode
and
CS
is brought high before the 10
th
falling edges of SCLK, the
device enters full power-down mode. For more information on
the power-up times associated with partial power-down mode
in various configurations, see the
Power-Up Times section.
FULL POWER-DOWN MODE
This mode is intended for use in applications where throughput
rates slower than those in the partial power-down mode are
required, because power-up from a full power-down takes
substantially longer than that from a partial power-down. This
mode is suited to applications where a series of conversions
performed at a relatively high throughput rate are followed by
a long period of inactivity and thus power-down.
When the AD7273/AD7274 are in full power-down mode, all
analog circuitry is powered down. To enter full power-down
mode put the device into partial power-down mode by bringing
CS
high between the second and 10
th
falling edges of SCLK. In
the next conversion cycle, interrupt the conversion process in
the way shown in
Figure 32 by bringing
CS
high before the 10
th
SCLK falling edge. Once
CS
is brought high in this window of
SCLKs, the part powers down completely. Note that it is not
necessary to complete 16 SCLKs once
CS
is brought high to enter
either of the power-down modes. Glitch protection is not
available when entering full power-down mode.
To exit full power-down mode and power up the AD7273/
AD7274 again, perform a dummy conversion, similar to when
powering up from partial power-down mode. On the falling
AD7273/AD7274
Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 28
edge of
CS
, the device begins to power up and continues to
power up until after the falling edge of the 10
th
SCLK as long as
CS
is held low. The power-up time required must elapse before
a conversion can be initiated, as shown in
Figure 33. See the
Power-Up Times section for the power-up times associated with
the AD7273/AD7274.
POWER-UP TIMES
The AD7273/AD7274 has two power-down modes, partial
power-down and full power-down, which are described in
detail in the Modes of Operation section. This section deals
with the power-up time required when coming out of either of
these modes.
To power up from partial power-down mode, one cycle is
required. Therefore, with a SCLK frequency of up to 48 MHz,
one dummy cycle is sufficient to allow the device to power up
from partial power-down mode. Once the dummy cycle is
complete, the ADC is fully powered up and the input signal is
acquired properly. The quiet time, t
QUIET
, must be allowed from
the point where the bus goes back into three-state after the
dummy conversion to the next falling edge of
CS
.
To power up from full power-down, approximately 1 s should
be allowed from the falling edge of
CS
, shown in Figure 33 as
t
POWER-UP
. Note that during power-up from partial power-down
mode, the track-and-hold, which is in hold mode while the part
is powered down, returns to track mode after the first SCLK
edge is received after the falling edge of
CS
. This is shown as
Point A in
Figure 31.
When power supplies are first applied to the AD7273/AD7274,
the ADC can power up in either of the power-down modes or
in normal mode. Because of this, it is best to allow a dummy
cycle to elapse to ensure that the part is fully powered up before
attempting a valid conversion. Likewise, if the part is to be kept
in partial power-down mode immediately after the supplies are
applied, two dummy cycles must be initiated. The first dummy
cycle must hold
CS
low until after the 10
th
SCLK falling edge
(see
Figure 29). In the second cycle,
CS
must be brought high
between the second and 10
th
SCLK falling edges (see Figure 30).
Alternatively, if the part is to be placed into full power-down
mode after the supplies are applied, three dummy cycles must
be initiated. The first dummy cycle must hold
CS
low until after
the 10
th
SCLK falling edge (see Figure 29); the second and third
dummy cycles place the part into full power-down mode (see
Figure 32). See also the Modes of Operation section.
