Care should be taken to ensure that the analog input does not
exceed the VDD and VSS supply rails by more than 300 mV.
Exceeding this value causes the diodes to become forward
biased and to start conducting into either the VDD supply rail or
the VSS supply rail. These diodes can conduct up to 10 mA
without causing irreversible damage to the part.
can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance of the input
multiplexer and the track-and-hold switch. Capacitor C2 is the
sampling capacitor; its capacitance varies depending on the
TRACK-AND-HOLD SECTION
The track-and-hold on the analog input of the
AD7329 allows
the ADC to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale
amplitude to 13-bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the track-
and-hold is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC. The
The ADCIN pins connect directly to the input stage of the track-
and-hold circuit. This is a high impedance input. Connecting
the MUXOUT pins directly to the ADCIN pins connects the
multiplexer output to the track-and-hold circuit. The input
voltage range on the ADCIN pins is determined by the range
register bits for the input channel selected. The user must
ensure that the input voltage to the ADCIN pins is within the
selected voltage range.
The track-and-hold enters its tracking mode on the 14th SCLK
rising edge after the CS falling edge. The time required to
acquire an input signal depends on how quickly the sampling
capacitor is charged. With zero source impedance, 300 ns is
sufficient to acquire the signal to the 13-bit level.
The acquisition time required is calculated using the following
formula:
tACQ = 10 × ((RSOURCE + R)C)
where C is the sampling capacitance, and R is the resistance
seen by the track-and-hold amplifier looking at the input.
For th
e AD7329, the value of R includes the on resistance of the
input multiplexer and is typically 300 . RSOURCE should include
any extra source impedance on the analog input.
The AD7329 enters track mode on the 14th SCLK rising edge. When the
AD7329 is run at a throughput rate of 1 MSPS with
a 20 MHz SCLK signal, the ADC has approximately 1.5 SCLK
periods plus t8 and the quiet time, tQUIET, to acquire the analog
input signal. The ADC goes back into hold mode on the CS
falling edge.
The current required to drive the ADC is extremely small when
using the external op amp between the MUXOUT and ADCIN
pins. This is due to the high input impedance of the op amp
placed between the MUXOUT and ADCIN pins. This can be seen
input is <0.2 μA when AD8021 is placed between the MUXOUT and ADCIN pins.
