AD7856PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONSPinMnemonicDescription 1 CONVST Convert Start. Logic Input. A low to high transition on this input puts the track/hold into its hold mode and starts conversion. When this input is not used, it should be tied to DVDD. 2 BUSY Busy Output. The busy output is triggered high by the falling edge of␣ CONVST or rising edge of CAL, and remains high until conversion is completed. BUSY is also used to indicate when the AD7856 has completed its on-chip calibration sequence. 3 SLEEP Sleep Input/Low Power Mode. A Logic 0 initiates a sleep, and all circuitry is powered down, including the internal voltage reference, provided there is no conversion or calibration being performed. Calibration data is retained. A Logic 1 results in normal operation. See Power-Down section for more details. 4 REFIN/REFOUT Reference Input/Output. This pin is connected to the internal reference through a series resistor and is the reference source for the analog-to-digital converter. The nominal reference voltage is 4.096 V and this appears at the pin. This pin can be overdriven by an external reference or can be taken as high as AVDD. When this pin is tied to AVDD, or when an externally applied reference approaches AVDD, the CREF1 pin should also be tied to AVDD. 5 AVDD Analog Positive Supply Voltage, +5.0 V ± 5%. 6 AGND Analog Ground. Ground reference for track/hold, reference and DAC. 7 CREF1 Reference Capacitor (0.1 µF Multilayer Ceramic in parallel with a 470 nF NPO type). This external capacitor is used as a charge source for the internal DAC. The capacitor should be tied between the pin and AGND. 8 CREF2 Reference Capacitor (0.01 µF Multilayer Ceramic). This external capacitor is used in conjunction with the on-chip reference. The capacitor should be tied between the pin and AGND. 9–16 AIN1–AIN8 Analog Inputs. Eight analog inputs that can be used as eight single-ended inputs (referenced to AGND) or four pseudo-differential inputs. Channel configuration is selected by writing to the control register. Both the positive and negative inputs cannot go below AGND or above AVDD at any time. Also the posi- tive input cannot go below the negative input. See Table III for channel selection. 17 CAL Calibration Input. This pin has an internal pull-up current source of 0.15 µA. A falling edge on this pin resets all calibration control logic and initiates a calibration on its rising edge. There is the option of connecting a 10 nF capacitor from this pin to DGND to allow for an automatic self-calibration on power-up. This input overrides all other internal operations. If the autocalibration is not required, this pin should be tied to a logic high. 18 DVDD Digital Supply Voltage, +5.0 V ± 5%. 19 DGND Digital Ground. Ground reference point for digital circuitry. 20 DOUT Serial Data Output. The data output is supplied to this pin as a 16-bit serial word. 21 DIN Serial Data Input. The data to be written is applied to this pin in serial form (16-bit word). This pin can act as an input pin or as a I/O pin depending on the serial interface mode the part is in (see Table X). 22 CLKIN Master clock signal for the device (A Grade: 6 MHz; K Grade: 4 MHz). Sets the conversion and calibra- tion times. 23 SCLK Serial Port Clock. Logic Input. The user must provide a serial clock on this input. 24 SYNC Frame Sync. Logic Input. This pin is level triggered active low and frames the serial clock for the read and write operations (see Table IX). REV. A –7–
