1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CS5521/22/23/24/28 are highly integrated ΔΣ
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) which use
charge-balance techniques to achieve 16-bit
(CS5521/23) and 24-bit (CS5522/24/28) perfor-
mance. The ADCs
come as either two-channel
(CS5521/22), four-channel (CS5523/24), or eight-
channel (CS5528) devices, and include a low input
current, chopper-stabilized instrumentation ampli-
fier. To permit selectable input spans of 25 mV,
55 mV, 100 mV, 1 V, 2.5 V, and 5 V, the ADCs in-
clude a PGA (programmable gain amplifier). To
accommodate ground-based thermocouple applica-
tions, the devices include a CPD (Charge Pump
Drive) which provides a negative bias voltage to
the on-chip amplifiers.
These devices also include a fourth order DS mod-
ulator followed by a digital filter
which provides
eight selectable output word rates of
1.88 Sps,
3.76 Sps, 7.51 Sps, 15 Sps, 30 Sps, 61.6 Sps,
84.5 Sps, and 101.1 Sps
(XIN = 32.768 kHz).
The
devices are capable of producing output update
rates up to 617 Sps when a 200 kHz clock is used
(CS5522/24/28) or up to 401 Sps using a 130 kHz
clock (CS5521/23). Further note that the digital fil-
ters are designed to settle to full accuracy within
one conversion cycle and simultaneously reject
both 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference when operated
at word rates below 30 Sps (assuming a XIN clock
frequency of 32.768 kHz).
To ease communication between the ADCs and a
micro-controller, the converters include an easy to
use three-wire serial interface which is SPI™ and
Microwire™ compatible.
1.1 Analog Input
Figure 4 illustrates a block diagram of the analog in-
put signal path inside the CS5521/22/23/24/28. The
front end consists of a multiplexer (break before
make configuration), a chopper-stabilized instru-
mentation amplifier with fixed gain of 20X,
coarse/fine charge buffers, and a programmable gain
section. For the 25 mV, 55 mV, and 100 mV input
ranges, the input signals are amplified by the 20X in-
strumentation amplifier. For the 1 V, 2.5 V, and 5 V
input ranges, the instrumentation amplifier is by-
passed and the input signals are connected to the
Programmable Gain block via coarse/fine charge
buffers.

1.1.1 Instrumentation Amplifier
The instrumentation amplifier is chopper stabilized
and is activated any time conversions are performed
with the low-level input ranges, 100 mV. The am-
plifier is powered from VA+ and from the NBV
(Negative Bias Voltage) pin allowing the
CS5521/22/23/24/28 to be operated in either of two
analog input configurations. The NBV pin can be bi-
ased to a negative voltage between -1.8 V and
-2.5 V, or tied to AGND (for the CS5528, NBV has
to be between -1.8 V and -2.5 V for the ranges below
100 mV when the amplifier is engaged). The com-
mon-mode-plus-signal range of the instrumentation
amplifier is 1.85 V to 2.65 V with NBV grounded.
The common-mode-plus-signal range of the instru-
mentation amplifier is -0.150 V to 0.950 V with
NBV between -1.8 V to -2.5 V. Whether NBV is
tied between -1.8 V and -2.5 V or tied to AGND,
the (Common Mode + Signal) input on AIN+ and
AIN- must stay between NBV and VA+.
Figure 5 illustrates an analog input model for the
ADCs when the instrumentation amplifier is en-
gaged. The CVF (sampling) input current for each
of the analog input pins depends on the CFS1 and
CFS0 (Chop Frequency Select) bits in the configu-
ration register (see Configuration Register for de-
tails). Note that the CVF current is lowest with the
CFS bits in their default states (cleared to logic 0s).
Further note that the CVF current into the instru-
mentation amplifier is less than 300 pA over -40°C
to +85°C. Note that Figure 5 is for input current
modeling only. For physical input capacitance see
‘Input Capacitance’ specification under ANALOG
CHARACTERISTICS. Also refer to Applications
Note AN30 - “Switched-Capacitor A/D Converter
Input Structures” for more details on input models
and input sampling currents.
Note: Residual noise appears in the converter’s baseband for
output word rates greater than 61.6 Sps if the CFS bits
are logic 0 (chop clock = 256 Hz). For word rates of
30 Sps and lower, 256 Sps chopping is recommended,
and for 61.6 Sps, 84.5 Sps and 101.1 Sps word rate set-
tings, 4096 Hz chopping is recommended.
1.1.2 Coarse/Fine Charge Buffers
The unity gain buffers are activated any time conver-
sions are performed with the high-level inputs rang-
es, 1 V, 2.5 V, and 5 V. The unity gain buffers are
designed to accommodate rail-to-rail input signals.
The common-mode-plus-signal range for the unity
gain buffer amplifier is NBV to VA+.
Typical CVF (sampling) current for the unity gain
buffer amplifiers is about 10 nA
(XIN = 32.768 kHz, see Figure 6).

1.1.3 Analog Input Span Considerations
The CS5521/22/23/24/28 is designed to measure
full-scale ranges of 25 mV, 55 mV, 100 mV, 1 V,
2.5 V, and 5 V. Other full scale values can be ac-
commodated by performing a system calibration
within the limits specified. See the Calibration sec-
tion for more details. Another way to change the
full scale range is to increase or to decrease the
voltage reference to a voltage other than 2.5 . See
the Voltage Reference section for more details.
Three factors set the operating limits for the input
span. They include: instrumentation amplifier satu-
ration, modulator 1’s density, and a lower reference
voltage. When the 25 mV, 55 mV, or 100 mV
range is selected, the input signal (including the
common-mode voltage and the amplifier offset
voltage) must not cause the 20X amplifier to satu-
rate in either its input stage or output stage. To pre-
vent saturation, the absolute voltages on AIN+ and
AIN- must stay within the limits specified (refer to
the Analog Input section). Additionally, the differ-
ential output voltage of the amplifier must not ex-
ceed 2.8 V. The equation
ABS(VIN + VOS) x 20 = 2.8 V
defines the differential output limit, where
VIN = (AIN+) - (AIN-)
is the differential input voltage and VOS is the ab-
solute maximum offset voltage for the instrumenta-
tion amplifier (VOS will not exceed 40 mV). If the
differential output voltage from the amplifier ex-
ceeds 2.8 V, the amplifier may saturate, which will
cause a measurement error.
The input voltage into the modulator must not
cause the modulator to exceed a low of 20 percent
or a high of 80 percent 1's density. The nominal
full-scale input span of the modulator (from 30 per-
cent to 70 percent 1’s density) is determined by the
VREF voltage divided by the Gain Factor. See
Table 1 to determine if the CS5521/22/23/24/28 is
being used properly. For example, in the 55 mV
range, to determine the nominal input voltage to the
modulator, divide VREF (2.5 V) by the Gain Fac-
tor (2.2727).
When a smaller voltage reference is used, the re-
sulting code widths are smaller causing the con-
verter output codes to exhibit more changing codes
for a fixed amount of noise. Table 1 is based upon
a VREF = 2.5 V. For other values of VREF, the
values in Table 1 must be scaled accordingly.
1.1.4 Measuring Voltages Higher than 5 V
Some systems require the measurement of voltages
greater than 5 V. The input current of the instru-
Note: 1. The converter's actual input range, the delta-sigma's nominal full-scale input, and the delta-sigma's
maximum full-scale input all scale directly with the value of the voltage reference. The values in the
table assume a 2.5
V VREF voltage.
2. The 2.8 V limit at the output of the 20X amplifier is the differential output voltage.
