Box 9106•Norwood, MA 02062-9106•Tel: 781/329-4700•Fax: 781/326-8703•www.analog.com © Analog Devices, Inc., 2002 Recommendations for the Use of the CONVST Input of the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 and the AD7827 by Sally Paterson INTRODUCTION The AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 are high speed 1-, 4-, and 8-channel parallel 8-bit ADCs, and the AD7827 is a high speed, single-channel, serial 8-bit ADC. They are all half flash ADCs with similar functionality of the CONVST input. This Application Note describes some consider- ations that are worth noting with the CONVST input and recommendations for avoiding any application issues. FUNCTION OF THE CONVST INPUT The CONVST signal is an input to the devices. It is used to power up the devices, initiate conversions, and place the devices into the Power-Down Mode. A falling edge on CONVST places the track-and-hold into hold mode and thus initiates an 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion. The track-and-hold goes back into track 120 ns after the start of the conversion. The state of the CONVST signal is checked at the end of a conversion, and if it is logic low, the devices will power down. If in power-down, a rising edge on CONVST will power up the devices. CONVST INPUT TROUBLESHOOTING When VDD is first applied, the devices are in a low current mode of operation. These devices therefore need to be powered up before conversions can be initi- ated. This is done by applying a rising edge to the CONVST pin. It is important that VDD is stable before this rising edge is applied. If CONVST rises before VDD has settled, or if it goes above VDD while it is rising, the devices will attempt to power up but will fail to do so properly. Subsequently, when CONVST then goes low either by bringing it low to initiate a conversion or by the falling edge of a glitch on the line, the devices will fail to convert correctly. This is due to conversions being initi- ated with the devices not being powered up properly. This can cause the devices to lock up and will result in no end of conversion (EOC) signal being returned by the particular device, meaning it has failed to convert cor- rectly. If this occurs, the recovery method is to perform a power cycle while ensuring CONVST does not rise before VDD. RECOMMENDATIONS Ideally, to avoid any issues, CONVST should either be maintained low until VDD has settled or remain at a lower voltage than VDD while it is rising. It should also never be floating once VDD is applied. If this cannot be guaran- teed, then it is recommended that the CONVST input be forced to track the VDD voltage but never rise above it. This is achieved by connecting a 10 k pull-up resistor and a Schottky diode in parallel, between CONVST and VDD. By doing this, CONVST will never rise before VDD nor glitch when VDD is rising. Figure 1 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7827 (the CONVST con- nection in this diagram also applies to the AD7822/ AD7825/AD7829 parallel devices). It is important to also note that CONVST (or any other inputs to the devices) should never be applied before VDD because by doing so the maximum ratings of the particular device will be exceeded resulting in possible permanent damage. See the Absolute Maximum Ratings of the particular data sheet for more detailed information.
