AD7470/AD7472CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONTYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAMCONVERTER OPERATION Figure 5 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7470/ The AD7470/AD7472 are 10-bit/12-bit successive approxima- AD7472. Conversion is initiated by a falling edge on CONVST. tion analog-to-digital converters based around a capacitive Once CONVST goes low, the BUSY signal goes high, and at DAC. The AD7470/AD7472 can convert analog input signals in the end of conversion, the falling edge of BUSY is used to acti- the range 0 V to VREF. Figure 2 shows a very simplified sche- vate an interrupt service routine. The CS and RD lines are then matic of the ADC. The control logic, SAR, and the capacitive activated in parallel to read the 10- or 12-data bits. The recom- DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge mended REF IN voltage is 2.5 V providing an analog input from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a range of 0 V to 2.5 V, making the AD7470/AD7472 a unipolar balanced condition. ADC. It is recommended to perform a dummy conversion after power-up as the first conversion result could be incorrect. This COMPARATOR also ensures that the part is in the correct mode of operation. The CONVST pin should not be floating when power is applied CAPACITIVEDAC as a rising edge on CONVST might not wake up the part. In Figure 5 the VDRIVE pin is tied to DVDD, which results in logic output voltage values being either 0 V or DV V DD. The voltage INSWITCHES applied to V V DRIVE controls the voltage value of the output logic REF signals. For example, if DVDD is supplied by a 5 V supply and VDRIVE by a 3 V supply, the logic output voltage levels would be SAR either 0 V or 3 V. This feature allows the AD7470/AD7472 to interface to 3 V parts while still enabling the ADC to process CONTROLCONTROL LOGIC signals at 5 V supply.

When conversion starts, SW2 will open and SW1 will move to position B, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. The ADC then runs through its successive approximation routine and brings the comparator back into a balanced condition. When the compara- tor is rebalanced, the conversion result is available in the SAR register. CAPACITIVEDAC2kA ⍀ VINSW1BCONTROL LOGICSW2COMPARATORAGND Figure 4. ADC Conversion Phase –10– REV.
