THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7985 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise, 16-bit
ADC using a successive approximation architecture. The AD7985
features different modes to optimize performance according to the
application. In turbo mode, the AD7985 is capable of converting
2,500,000 samples per second (2.5 MSPS).
The AD7985 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold
and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it
ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
The AD7985 can be interfaced to any 1.8 V to 2.7 V digital logic
family. It is available in a space-saving 20-lead LFCSP that allows
flexible configurations. It is pin-for-pin compatible with the
18-bit AD7986.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7985 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 21 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 16 binary-weighted capacitors that are
connected to the two comparator inputs.
During the acquisition phase, the terminals of the array tied to
the input of the comparator are connected to AGND via SW+
and SW−. All independent switches are connected to the analog
inputs. Therefore, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling
capacitors and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN−
inputs. When the acquisition phase is completed and the CNV
input goes high, a conversion phase is initiated.

When the conversion phase begins, SW+ and SW− are opened
first. The two capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the
analog inputs and connected to the REFGND input. Therefore,
the differential voltage between the IN+ and IN − inputs captured
at the end of the acquisition phase is applied to the comparator
inputs, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. By switch-
ing each element of the capacitor array between REFGND and
REF, the comparator input varies by binary-weighted voltage
steps (V
these switches, starting with the MSB, to bring the comparator
back into a balanced condition. After the completion of this
process, the part returns to the acquisition phase, and the control
logic generates the ADC output code and a busy signal indicator.
Because the AD7985 has an on-board conversion clock, the
serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.
CONVERSION MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7985 features two conversion modes of operation: turbo
and normal. Turbo conversion mode (TURBO is high) allows
the fastest conversion rate of up to 2.5 MSPS and does not
power down between conversions. The first conversion in turbo
mode should be ignored because it contains meaningless data.
For applications that require lower power and slightly slower
sampling rates, the normal mode (TURBO is low) allows a
maximum conversion rate of 2.0 MSPS and powers down
between conversions. The first conversion in normal mode
contains meaningful data.
