DESCRIPTION
The ADS7828 is a single-supply, low-power, 12-bit data
acquisition device that features a serial I2C interface and an
8-channel multiplexer. The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter
features a sample-and-hold amplifier and internal,
asynchronous clock. The combination of an I2C serial,
2-wire interface and micropower consumption makes the
ADS7828 ideal for applications requiring the A/D converter to
be close to the input source in remote locations and for
applications requiring isolation. The ADS7828 is available in
a TSSOP-16 package.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas
Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper han-
dling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

FIGURE 1. Simplified I/O of the ADS7828.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS7828 is a classic Successive Approximation Regis-
ter (SAR) A/D converter. The architecture is based on ca-
pacitive redistribution which inherently includes a sample-
and-hold function. The converter is fabricated on a 0.6µ
CMOS process.
The ADS7828 core is controlled by an internally generated
free-running clock. When the ADS7828 is not performing
conversions or being addressed, it keeps the A/D converter
core powered off, and the internal clock does not operate.
The simplified diagram of input and output for the ADS7828
is shown in Figure 1.
ANALOG INPUT
When the converter enters the hold mode, the voltage on the
selected CHx pin is captured on the internal capacitor array.
The input current on the analog inputs depends on the
conversion rate of the device. During the sample period, the
source must charge the internal sampling capacitor (typically
25pF). After the capacitor has been fully charged, there is no
further input current. The amount of charge transfer from the
analog source to the converter is a function of conversion rate.
REFERENCE
The ADS7828 can operate with an internal 2.5V reference or
an external reference. If a +5V supply is used, an external
+5V reference is required in order to provide full dynamic
range for a 0V to +VDD analog input. This external reference
can be as low as 50mV. When using a +2.7V supply, the
internal +2.5V reference will provide full dynamic range for a
0V to +VDD analog input.
As the reference voltage is reduced, the analog voltage
weight of each digital output code is reduced. This is often
referred to as the LSB (least significant bit) size and is equal
to the reference voltage divided by 4096. This means that
any offset or gain error inherent in the A/D converter will
appear to increase, in terms of LSB size, as the reference
voltage is reduced.
The noise inherent in the converter will also appear to increase
with lower LSB size. With a 2.5V reference, the internal noise
of the converter typically contributes only 0.32LSB peak-to-
peak of potential error to the output code. When the external
reference is 50mV, the potential error contribution from the
internal noise will be 50 times larger16LSBs. The errors due
to the internal noise are Gaussian in nature and can be
reduced by averaging consecutive conversion results.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The ADS7828 supports the I2C serial bus and data transmis-
sion protocol, in all three defined modes: standard, fast, and
high-speed. A device that sends data onto the bus is defined
as a transmitter, and a device receiving data as a receiver.
The device that controls the message is called a master.
The devices that are controlled by the master are slaves.
The bus must be controlled by a master device that gener-
ates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the START and STOP conditions. The ADS7828
operates as a slave on the I2C bus. Connections to the bus
are made via the open-drain I/O lines SDA and SCL.

FIGURE 2. Basic Operation of the ADS7828.
The following bus protocol has been defined (as shown in
Figure 2):
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy.
During data transfer, the data line must remain stable
whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes in the data line
while the clock line is HIGH will be interpreted as control
signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:
Bus Not Busy: Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
Start Data Transfer: A change in the state of the data line,
from HIGH to LOW, while the clock is HIGH, defines a
START condition.
Stop Data Transfer: A change in the state of the data line,
from LOW to HIGH, while the clock line is HIGH, defines the
STOP condition.
Data Valid: The state of the data line represents valid data,
when, after a START condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal. There is one
clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and
terminated with a STOP condition. The number of data bytes
transferred between START and STOP conditions is not
limited and is determined by the master device. The informa-
tion is transferred byte-wise and each receiver acknowl-
edges with a ninth-bit.
Within the I2C bus specifications a standard mode (100kHz
clock rate), a fast mode (400kHz clock rate), and a high-
speed mode (3.4MHz clock rate) are defined. The ADS7828
works in all three modes.
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when addressed, is
obliged to generate an acknowledge after the reception of
each byte. The master device must generate an extra clock
pulse that is associated with this acknowledge bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line
during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way that the
SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times
must be taken into account. A master must signal an end of
data to the slave by not generating an acknowledge bit on the
last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case,
the slave must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master
to generate the STOP condition.
Figure 2 details how data transfer is accomplished on the I2C
bus. Depending upon the state of the R/W bit, two types of
data transfer are possible:
1. Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave
receiver. The first byte transmitted by the master is the
slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The
slave returns an acknowledge bit after the slave address
and each received byte.
2. Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master
receiver. The first byte, the slave address, is transmitted
by the master. The slave then returns an acknowledge bit.
Next, a number of data bytes are transmitted by the slave
to the master. The master returns an acknowledge bit
after all received bytes other than the last byte. At the end
of the last received byte, a not-acknowledge is returned.
The master device generates all of the serial clock pulses
and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended
with a STOP condition or a repeated START condition. Since
a repeated START condition is also the beginning of the next
serial transfer, the bus will not be released.
The ADS7828 may operate in the following two modes:
Slave Receiver Mode: Serial data and clock are received
through SDA and SCL. After each byte is received, an
acknowledge bit is transmitted. START and STOP condi-
tions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial
transfer. Address recognition is performed by hardware
after reception of the slave address and direction bit.
Slave Transmitter Mode: The first byte (the slave ad-
dress) is received and handled as in the slave receiver
mode. However, in this mode the direction bit will indicate
that the transfer direction is reversed. Serial data is trans-
mitted on SDA by the ADS7828 while the serial clock is
input on SCL. START and STOP conditions are recog-
nized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer.

ADDRESS BYTE COMMAND BYTE
The address byte is the first byte received following the
START condition from the master device. The first five bits
(MSBs) of the slave address are factory pre-set to 10010.
The next two bits of the address byte are the device select
bits, A1 and A0. Input pins (A1-A0) on the ADS7828 deter-
mine these two bits of the device address for a particular
ADS7828. A maximum of four devices with the same pre-set
code can therefore be connected on the same bus at one
time.
The A1-A0 Address Inputs can be connected to VDD or digital
ground. The device address is set by the state of these pins
upon power-up of the ADS7828.
The last bit of the address byte (R/W) defines the operation
to be performed. When set to a 1 a read operation is
selected; when set to a 0 a write operation is selected.
Following the START condition the ADS7828 monitors the
SDA bus, checking the device type identifier being transmit-
ted. Upon receiving the 10010 code, the appropriate device
select bits, and the R/W bit, the slave device outputs an
acknowledge signal on the SDA line.

INITIATING CONVERSION
Provided the master has write-addressed it, the ADS7828
turns on the A/D converters section and begins conversions
when it receives BIT 4 of the command byte shown in the
Command Byte. If the command byte is correct, the ADS7828
will return an ACK condition.
READING DATA
Data can be read from the ADS7828 by read-addressing the
part (LSB of address byte set to 1) and receiving the
transmitted bytes. Converted data can only be read from the
ADS7828 once a conversion has been initiated as described
in the preceding section.
Each 12-bit data word is returned in two bytes, as shown
below, where D11 is the MSB of the data word, and D0 is the
LSB. Byte 0 is sent first, followed by Byte 1.

READING IN F/S MODE
Figure 3 describes the interaction between the master and
the slave ADS7828 in Fast or Standard (F/S) mode. At the
end of reading conversion data the ADS7828 can be issued
a repeated START condition by the master to secure bus
operation for subsequent conversions of the A/D converter.
This would be the most efficient way to perform continuous
conversions.

FIGURE 4. Typical Read Sequence in HS Mode.
READING IN HS MODE
High Speed (HS) mode is fast enough that codes can be
read out one at a time. In HS mode, there is not enough time
for a single conversion to complete between the reception of
a repeated START condition and the read-addressing byte,
so the ADS7828 stretches the clock after the read-address-
ing byte has been fully received, holding it LOW until the
conversion is complete.
See Figure 4 for a typical read sequence for HS mode.
Included in the read sequence is the shift from F/S to HS
modes. It may be desirable to remain in HS mode after
reading a conversion; to do this, issue a repeated START
instead of a STOP at the end of the read sequence, since a
STOP causes the part to return to F/S mode.

Internal V
REF
vs Turn-On Time
Typical Characteristic plot.
If the PD1 bit has been set to logic 0 while using the
ADS7828, then the settling time must be reconsidered
after PD1 is set to logic 1. In other words, whenever the
internal reference is turned on after it has been turned off,
the settling time must be long enough to get 12-bit accu-
racy conversion.
3) When the internal reference is off, it is not turned on until
both the first Command Byte with PD1 = 1 is sent
and
then
a STOP condition or repeated START condition is
issued. (The actual turn-on time occurs once the STOP or
repeated START condition is issued.) Any Command Byte
with PD1 = 1 issued after the internal reference is turned
on serves only to keep the internal reference on. Other-
wise, the internal reference would be turned off by any
Command Byte with PD1 = 0.
The example in Figure 5 can be generalized for a HS mode
conversion cycle by simply swapping the timing of the con-
version cycle.
If using an external reference, PD1 must be set to 0, and the
external reference must be settled. The typical sequence in
Figure 3 or Figure 4 can then be used.
READING WITH REFERENCE ON/OFF
The internal reference defaults to off when the ADS7828
power is on. To turn the internal reference on or off, see
Table I. If the reference (internal or external) is constantly
turned on and off, a proper amount of settling time must be
added before a normal conversion cycle can be started. The
exact amount of settling time needed varies depending on
the configuration.
See Figure 5 for an example of the proper internal reference
turn-on sequence before issuing the typical read sequences
required for the F/S mode when an internal reference is
used.
When using an internal reference, there are three things that
must be done:
1) In order to use the internal reference, the PD1 bit of
Command Byte must always be set to logic 1 for each
sample conversion that is issued by the sequence, as
shown in Figure 3.
2) In order to achieve 12-bit accuracy conversion when
using the internal reference, the internal reference
settling time must be considered, as shown in the
FIGURE 5. Internal Reference Turn-On Sequence and Typical Read Sequence (F/S mode shown).

LAYOUT
For optimum performance, care should be taken with the
physical layout of the ADS7828 circuitry. The basic SAR
architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden changes on the
power supply, reference, ground connections, and digital
inputs that occur just prior to latching the output of the analog
comparator. Therefore, during any single conversion for an
n-bit SAR converter, there are n windows in which large
external transient voltages can easily affect the conversion
result. Such glitches might originate from switching power
supplies, nearby digital logic, and high-power devices.
With this in mind, power to the ADS7828 should be clean and
well-bypassed. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor should be
placed as close to the device as possible. A 1µF to 10µF
capacitor may also be needed if the impedance of the
connection between +VDD and the power supply is high.
The ADS7828 architecture offers no inherent rejection of
noise or voltage variation in regards to using an external
reference input. This is of particular concern when the
reference input is tied to the power supply. Any noise and
ripple from the supply will appear directly in the digital results.
While high-frequency noise can be filtered out, voltage varia-
tion due to line frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) can be difficult to
remove.
The GND pin should be connected to a clean ground point.
In many cases, this will be the analog ground. Avoid
connections that are too near the grounding point of a
microcontroller or digital signal processor. The ideal layout
will include an analog ground plane dedicated to the con-
verter and associated analog circuitry.
