bit stream at 512 kbits per second when operated
from a 2.048 MHz modulator clock.
7.1. Modulator Clock - MCLK
For proper operation, the CS5371/72 modulators
must be provided with a CMOS compatible clock
on the MCLK pin. MCLK is internally divided by
four to generate the modulator sampling clock.
MCLK must have less than 300 ps of in-band jitter
to maintain full performance specifications.
When used with the CS5376A or CS5378 digital fil-
ter, MCLK is automatically generated and is typi-
cally 2.048 MHz or 1.024 MHz. MCLK can be
generated by other means, using a crystal oscilla-
tor for example, and can run any rate between
100 kHz and 2.2 MHz. If MCLK is disabled, the
modulators are automatically placed into a micro-
power state. They are equipped with loss of clock
detection circuitry to force power down if MCLK is
removed.
The choice of MCLK frequency affects the perfor-
mance of the CS5371/72 modulators. They exhibit
the best dynamic range (SNR) performance with
faster MCLK rates because of increased oversam-
pling of the analog input signal. The modulators
exhibit the best total harmonic distortion (THD)
performance with slower MCLK rates because
slower sampling allows more time to settle the an-
alog input signal.
7.2. Modulator Data - MDATA
The CS5371/72 modulators output a ∆Σ serial bit-
stream to the MDATA pin, with a one’s density pro-
portional to the amplitude of the analog input signal
and a bit rate determined by the modulator sam-
pling clock. The modulator sampling clock is a di-
vide by four of MCLK, so for a 2.048 MHz MCLK
the modulator sampling clock and MDATA output
bit rate will be 512 kHz.
The MDATA output has a one’s density defined as
nominal 50% for no signal input, 86% for positive
full scale, and 14% for negative full scale. It has a
maximum positive over-range capability to 93%
and a maximum negative over-range capability to
7%. The one’s density of the MDATA output is de-
fined as the ratio of ‘1’ bits to total bits in the serial
bitstream output, i.e. an 86% one’s density has, on
average, a ‘1’ value in 86 of every 100 output data
bits.
When operated with the CS5376A or CS5378 dig-
ital filter, the full-scale 24-bit output codes range
from 0x5D1C41 to 0xA2EAAE with the internal
OFST disabled.
Note that for a full-scale input signal, 5 V
pp
with
VREF=2.5 V, the CS5371/72 and CS5376A/78
chipset does not output a maximum 24-bit 2’s com-
plement digital code of 0x7FFFFF, but instead a
lower scaled value to allow over-range capability.
7.3. Modulator Sync - MSYNC
To synchronize the analog sampling instant and
timing of the digital output bitstream, the
CS5371/72 modulators use an MSYNC signal.
When using the CS5376A or CS5378 digital filter,
MSYNC is automatically generated from a SYNC
signal input from the external system.
The MSYNC input is rising edge triggered and re-
sets the internal MCLK counter-divider so the ana-
log sampling instant occurs during a consistent
MCLK phase. It also sets the MDATA output tim-
ing so the bitstream can be properly sampled by
the digital filter input.
7.4. Modulator Flag - MFLAG
The CS5371/72 modulators are 4th order ∆Σ and
are therefore conditionally stable. The modulators
may go into an oscillatory condition if the analog in-
puts are over-ranged more than 5% past either
positive or negative fullscale.
If an unstable condition is detected, the modulators
collapse to a 1st order system until loop stability is

achieved. During this time, the MFLAG pin transi-
tions from low to high to signal an error condition.
The analog input signal must be reduced to within
the full-scale range for at least 32 MCLK cycles for
the modulator to recover from an unstable condi-
tion.
The MFLAG output connects to a dedicated input
on the digital filter, causing an error bit to be set in
the status portion of the digital output data word
when detected.
8. POWER MODES
Four power modes are available when using the
CS5371/72 modulators. Normal power and low
power modes are operational modes, power down
and micro-power modes are non-operational
standby modes.
8.1. Normal Power Mode
The normal operational mode for the modulators,
LPWR=0 and MCLK=2.048 MHz, provides the
best performance with power consumption of
25 mW per channel. This power mode is recom-
mended when maximum conversion accuracy is
required.
8.2. Low Power Mode - LPWR
The modulators have a low-power operational
mode, LPWR=1 and MCLK=1.024 MHz, that re-
duces power consumption to 15 mW per channel
at the expense of 3 dB of dynamic range. This op-
erational mode is recommended when minimizing
power is more important than maximizing dynamic
range.
When operated with LPWR=1, the modulator sam-
pling clock (MCLK / 4) must be restricted to rates
of 256 kHz or less, which requires MCLK to run at
1.024 MHz or less. Operating in low power mode
with modulator sample rates greater than 256 kHz
will significantly degrade total harmonic distortion
performance.
8.3. Power Down Mode - PWDN
The modulators have a power down mode,
PWDN=1 and MCLK=Active, that disables the op-
eration of the selected modulator channel and re-
duces its power consumption to 1 mW. Each
modulator has an independent power down pin,
PWDN on the CS5371 and PWDN1, PWDN2 on
the CS5372. Note that when the modulators are
powered down and MCLK is active, the internal
clock generator is still drawing minimal currents.
8.4. Micro-power Mode
Standby power consumption of the modulators can
be minimized by placing them into a micro-power
mode, PWDN=1 and MCLK=0. Micro-power mode
requires setting the PWDN pin and halting MCLK
to remove the clock generator input current. Micro-
power mode consumes only 10 µW of power.
9. POWER SUPPLY
The CS5371/72 modulators have one positive an-
alog power supply pin, VA+, one negative analog
power supply pin, VA-, one digital power supply
pin, VD, and one digital ground pin, DGND. The
analog and digital circuitry is separated internally
to enhance performance, therefore power must be
supplied to all three supply pins and the digital
ground pin must be connected to system ground.
9.1. Power Supply Configurations
The CS5371/72 analog supplies can be powered
by a single +5 V supply and analog ground, or by
dual supplies of ± 2.5 V. When using dual sup-
plies, the positive and negative analog power sup-
plies must satisfy the following conditions:
(VA+) - (VA-) < 6.8 volts
(VD) - (VA-) < 7.6 volts
These conditions permit several power supply con-
figurations.
VA+ = +5V; VA- = 0V; VD+ = +3.3V to +5V
VA+ = +2.5V;VA- = -2.5V; VD+ = +3.3V
When used with the CS5376A or CS5378 digital fil-
ter the maximum voltage differential between the
modulator digital supply, VD, and the CS5376A/78
I/O supply, VDD2 or VDDPAD, must be 0.3V or
less.
9.2. Power Supply Bypassing
The analog and digital supply pins, VA+, VA-, and
VD, should be decoupled to system ground with
0.01 µF and 10 µF capacitors, or with a single
0.1 µF capacitor. Bypass capacitors can be X7R,
tantalum, or any other dielectric types.

9.3. SCR Latch-up Considerations
The VA- pin is tied to the CS5371/72 substrate and
should always be connected to the most negative
supply voltage to ensure SCR latch-up does not
occur. In general, latch-up may occur when any
pin voltage (including the analog inputs) is 0.7V or
more below VA-, or 7.6V or more above VA-.
Analog inputs INR+/- and INF+/- should be voltage
limited to ensure signals don’t exceed the (VA-)-
0.7V or (VA+)+7.6V requirement. Either the inputs
should be clamped to the VA+ and VA- rails using
reversed biased Schottky diodes (BAT85 or simi-
lar), or the current into the analog inputs should be
limited to less than 10mA. By current limiting the
analog inputs, the internal ESD diodes on the ana-
log input pads will clamp the input signal to the
proper level. Input currents greater than 10mA will
overdrive the internal diodes, so external compo-
nents are required.
When using dual analog power supplies, it is rec-
ommended to connect the VA- power supply pin to
system ground (DGND) using a reversed biased
Schottky diode. This configuration clamps the VA-
voltage a maximum of 0.3V above ground to en-
sure SCR latch-up does not occur during power
up. If the VA+ power supply ramps before the VA-
supply, the VA- voltage could be pulled above
ground through the CS5371/72. If the VA- supply
is unintentionally pulled 0.7 V above the DGND
pin, SCR latch-up can occur.
9.4. DC-DC Converter Considerations
Many measurement systems are battery powered
and utilize DC-DC converters to generate the nec-
essary supply voltages for the system. To mini-
mize the effects of interference, it is desirable to
operate the DC-DC converter at a frequency which
is rejected by the digital filter.
9.5. Power Supply Rejection
Power supply rejection of the CS5371/72 modula-
tors is frequency dependent. The digital filter re-
jects power supply noise for frequencies above the
filter corner frequency at 130 dB or greater. For
frequencies between DC and the digital filter cor-
ner frequency, power supply rejection is nearly
constant at 90 dB.
