AD7242/AD7244 to TMS320C25 Interface
Figure 9 shows a serial interface between the AD7242/AD7244
and the TMS320C25 DSP processor. In this interface, the
CLKX and FSX signals of the TMS320C25 are generated from
the clock/timer circuitry. The FSX pin of the TMS320C25
must be configured as an input. CLKX is used to provide both
the TCLKA and TCLKB inputs of the AD7242/AD7244. DX
of the TMS320C25 is also routed to the serial data line of each
input port of the AD7242/AD7244.
Data from the TMS32020 is valid on the falling edge of CLKX
after FSX goes low. This FSX signal is gated with the DACA/
DACB control line to determine whether TFSA or TFSB goes
low when FSX goes low.
The clock/timer circuitry also generates the
LDAC signal for the
AD7242/AD7244 to synchronize the update of the outputs with
the serial transmission. As in the previous interface diagrams, a
common
LDAC input is shown driving the LDACA and
LDACB inputs of the AD7242/AD7244. Once again, these
LDAC inputs could be hardwired low, in which case V
OUTA
or
V
OUTB
will be updated on the sixteenth falling edge of CLKX
after the
TFSA or TFSB input goes low.

AD7242/AD7244 to 87C51 Interface
A serial interface between the AD7242/AD7244 and the 87C51
microcontroller is shown in Figure 10. TXD of the 87C51
drives TCLKA and TCLKB of the AD7242/AD7244 while
RXD drives the two serial data lines of the part. The
TFSA and
TFSB signals are derived from P3.2 and P3.3, respectively.
The 87C51 provides the LSB of its SBUF register as the first bit
in the serial data stream. Therefore, the user will have to ensure
that the data in the SBUF register is correctly arranged so the
don’t care bits are the first to be transmitted to the AD7242/
AD7244; the last bit to be sent is the LSB of the word to be
loaded to the AD7242/AD7244. When data is to be transmitted
to the part, P3.2 (for DACA) or P3.3 (for DACB) is taken low.
Data on RXD is valid on the falling edge of TXD. The 87C51
transmits its serial data in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling
clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle. To load data to the
AD7242/AD7244, P3.2 (for DACA) or P3.3 (for DACB) is left
low after the first eight bits are transferred and a second byte of
data is then serially transferred to the AD7242/AD7244. When
the second serial transfer is complete, the P3.2 line (for DACA)
or the P3.3 line (for DACB) is taken high.
Figure 10 shows both
LDAC inputs of the AD7242/AD7244
hardwired low. As a result, the DAC latch and the analog
output of one of the DACs will be updated on the sixteenth
falling edge of TXD after the respective
TFS signal for that
DAC has gone low. Alternatively, the scheme used in previous
interfaces, whereby the
LDAC inputs are driven from a timer,
can be used.

AD7242/AD7244 to 68HC11 Interface
Figure 11 shows a serial interface between the AD7242/AD7244
and the 68HC11 microcontroller. SCK of the 68HC11 drives
TCLKA and TCLKB of the AD7242/AD7244 while the MOSI
output drives the two serial data lines of the AD7242/AD7244.
The
TFSA and TFSB signals are derived from PC6 and PC7,
respectively.
For correct operation of this interface, the 68HC11 should be
configured such that its CPOL bit is a 0 and its CPHA bit is a 1.
When data is to be transmitted to the part, PC6 (for DACA) or
PC7 (for DACB) is taken low. When the 68HC11 is configured
like this, data on MOSI is valid on the falling edge of SCK. The
68HCll transmits its serial data in 8-bit bytes with only eight
falling clock edges occurring in the transmit cycle. To load data
to the AD7242/AD7244, PC6 (for DACA) or PC7 (for DACB)
is left low after the first eight bits are transferred and a second
byte of data is then serially transferred to the AD7242/AD7244.
When the second serial transfer is complete, the PC6 line (for
DACA) or the PC7 line (for DACB) is taken high.

Figure 11 shows both LDAC inputs of the AD7242/AD7244
hardwired low. As a result, the DAC latch and the analog
output of one of the DACs will be updated on the sixteenth
falling edge of SCK after the respective
TFS signal for that
DAC has gone low. Alternatively, the scheme used in previous
interfaces, whereby the
LDAC inputs are driven from a timer,
can be used.

APPLYING THE AD7242/AD7244
Good printed circuit board layout is as important as the overall
circuit design itself in achieving high speed converter perfor-
mance. The AD7242 works on an LSB size of 1.465 mV, while
the AD7244 works on an LSB size of 366 µV. Therefore, the
designer must be conscious of minimizing noise in both the
converter itself and in the surrounding circuitry. Switching
mode power supplies are not recommended as the switching
spikes can feed through to the on-chip amplifier. Other causes
of concern are ground loops and digital feedthrough from
microprocessors. These are factors that influence any high
performance converter, and a proper PCB layout that minimizes
these effects is essential for best performance.
LAYOUT HINTS
Ensure that the layout for the printed circuit board has separated
digital and analog lines as much as possible. Take care not to
run any digital track alongside an analog signal track. Establish a
single point analog ground (star ground) separate from the logic
system ground. Place this star ground as close as possible to the
AD7242/AD7244. Connect all analog grounds to this star
ground and also connect the AD7242/AD7244 DGND pins to
this ground. Do not connect any other digital grounds to this
analog ground point.
Low impedance analog and digital power supply common
returns are essential to low noise operation of high performance
converters. Therefore, the foil width for these tracks should be
kept as wide as possible. The use of ground planes minimizes
impedance paths and also guards the analog circuitry from
digital noise.
NOISE
Keep the signal leads on the V
OUTA
and V
OUTB
signals and the
signal return leads to AGND as short as possible to minimize
noise coupling. In applications where this is not possible, use a
shielded cable between the DAC outputs and their destination.
Reduce the ground circuit impedance as much as possible since
any potential difference in grounds between the DAC and its
destination device appears as an error voltage in series with the
DAC output.
