USING THE AD7884/AD7885 ANALOG INPUT RANGES
The AD7884/AD7885 can be set up to have either a ±3 V analog
input range or a ±5 V analog input range. Figures 10 and 11 show
the necessary corrections for each of these. The output code is
twos complement and the ideal code table for both input ranges
is shown in Table I.
Reference Considerations
The AD7884/AD7885 operates from a ±3 V reference. This can
be derived simply using the AD780 as shown in Figure 6.

The critical performance specification for a reference in a 16-bit
application is noise. The reference peak-to-peak noise should be
insignificant in comparison to the ADC noise. The AD7884/AD7885
has a typical rms noise of 120 µV. For example, a reasonable
target would be to keep the total rms noise less than 125 µV.
To do this the reference noise needs to be less than 35 µV rms.
In the 100 kHz band, the AD780 noise is less than 30 µV rms,
making it a very suitable reference.
The buffer amplifier used to drive the device V
REF+
should have
low enough noise performance so as not to affect the overall
system noise requirement. The AD845 and AD817 achieve this.
Decoupling and Grounding
The AD7884 and AD7885A have one AV
DD
pin and two V
DD
pins. They also have one AV
SS
pin and three V
SS
pins. The
AD7885 has one AV
DD
pin, one V
DD
pin, one AV
SS
pin, and
one V
SS
pin. Figure 6 shows how a common +5 V supply should
be used for the positive supply pins and a common –5 V supply
for the negative supply pins.
For decoupling purposes, the critical pins on both devices are
the AV
DD
and AV
SS
pins. Each of these should be decoupled to
system AGND with 10 µF tantalum and 0.1 µF ceramic capaci-
tors right at the pins. With the V
DD
and V
SS
pins, it is sufficient
to decouple each of these with ceramic 1 µF capacitors.
AGNDS, AGNDF are the ground return points for the on-chip
9-bit ADC. They should be driven by a buffer amplifier as shown
in Figure 6. If they are tied directly together and then to ground,
there will be a marginal degradation in linearity performance.
The GND pin is the analog ground return for the on-chip lin-
ear circuitry. It should be connected to system analog ground.
The DGND pin is the ground return for the on-chip digital
circuitry. It should be connected to the ground terminal of the
V
DD
and V
SS
supplies. If a common analog supply is used for
AV
DD
and V
DD
, then DGND should be connected to the com-
mon ground point.
Power Supply Sequencing
AV
DD
and V
DD
are connected to a common substrate and there is
typically 17 resistance between them. If they are powered by
separate 5 V supplies, then these should come up simultaneously.
Otherwise, the one that comes up first will have to drive 5 V
into a 17 load for a short period of time. However, the standard
short-circuit protection on regulators like the 7800 series will
ensure that there is no possibility of damage to the driving device.
AV
SS
should always come up either before or at the same
time as V
SS
. If this cannot be guaranteed, Schottky diodes
should be used to ensure that V
SS
never exceeds AV
SS
by
more than 0.3 V. Arranging the power supplies as in Figure 6
and using the recommended decoupling ensures that there
are no power supply sequencing issues as well as giving the
specified noise performance.

AD7884/AD7885 PERFORMANCE
Linearity
The linearity of the AD7884/AD7885 is determined by the
on-chip 16-bit D/A converter. This is a segmented DAC that is
laser trimmed for 16-bit DNL performance to ensure that there
are no missing codes in the ADC transfer function. Figure 13
shows a typical INL plot for the AD7884/AD7885.

Noise
In an A/D converter, noise exhibits itself as code uncertainty in
dc applications and as the noise floor (in an FFT, for example)
in ac applications.
In a sampling A/D converter like the AD7884/AD7885, all
information about the analog input appears in the baseband
from dc to 1/2 the sampling frequency. An antialiasing filter will
remove unwanted signals above f
S
/2 in the input signal, but the
converter wideband noise will alias into the baseband. In the
AD7884/AD7885, this noise is made up of sample-and-hold noise
and A/D converter noise. The sample-and-hold section contrib-
utes 51 µV rms and the ADC section contributes 59 µV rms.
These add up to a total rms noise of 78 µV. This is the input
referred noise in the ±3 V analog input range. When operating
in the ± 5 V input range, the input gain is reduced to –0.6. This
means that the input referred noise is now increased by a factor
of 1.66 to 120 µV rms.
Figure 14 shows a histogram plot for 5000 conversions of a dc
input using the AD7884/AD7885 in the ± 5 V input range. The
analog input was set as close as possible to the center of a code
transition. All codes other than the center code are due to the
ADC noise. In this case, the spread is six codes.
Figure 14. Histogram of 5000 Conversions of a DC Input
If the noise in the converter is too high for an application, it can
be reduced by oversampling and digital filtering. This involves
sampling the input at a higher than the required word rate
and then averaging to arrive at the final result. The very fast
conversion time of the AD7884/AD7885 makes it very
suitable for oversampling. For example, if the required input
bandwidth is 40 kHz, the AD7884/AD7885 could be
oversampled by a factor of 2. This yields a 3 dB
improvement in the effective SNR performance.
The noise
performance in the ±5 V input range is now effectively 85 µV rms,
and the resultant spread of codes for 2500 conversions will be four.
This is shown in Figure 15.

Dynamic Performance
With a combined conversion and acquisition time of 6 µs, the
AD7884/AD7885 is ideal for wide bandwidth signal processing appli-
cations. Signal-to-(noise + distortion), total harmonic distortion,
peak harmonic or spurious noise, and intermodulation distortion
are all specified. Figure 16 shows a typical FFT plot of a 1.8 kHz,
±5 V input after being digitized by the AD7884/AD7885.

Effective Number of Bits
The formula for SNR (see Terminology section) is related to
the resolution or number of bits in the converter. Rewriting the
formula, below, gives a measure of performance expressed in
effective number of bits (N).

The effective number of bits for a device can be calculated from
its measured SNR. Figure 17 shows a typical plot of effective
number of bits versus frequency for the AD7884. The sampling
frequency is 166 kHz.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7884/AD7885 is designed on a high speed process
that results in very fast interfacing timing (data access time of
57 ns max). The AD7884 has a full 16-bit parallel bus, and the
AD7885 has an 8-bit wide bus. The AD7884, with its parallel
interface, is suited to 16-bit parallel machines whereas the
AD7885, with its byte interface, is suited to 8-bit machines.
Some examples of typical interface configurations follow.
AD7884 to MC68000 Interface
Figure 18 shows a general interface diagram for the MC68000
16-bit microprocessor to the AD7884. In Figure 18, conversion
is initiated by bringing CSA low (i.e., writing to the appropriate
address). This allows the processor to maintain control over the
complete conversion process. In some cases, it may be more
desirable to control conversion independent from the processor.
This can be done by using an external sampling timer.

Once conversion has been started, the processor must wait until
it is completed before reading the result. There are two ways of
ensuring this. The first way is to simply use a software delay to
wait for 6.5 µs before bringing CS and RD low to read the data.
The second way is to use the BUSY output of the AD7884 to
generate an interrupt in the MC68000. Because of the nature of
its interrupts, the MC68000 requires additional logic (not shown
in Figure 18) to allow it to be interrupted correctly. For full
information on this, consult the MC68000 User’s Manual.
