PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Pin Mnemonic Description
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 DV
DD
.
2 WR Write Input. Active low logic input. Used in conjunction with CS and HBEN to write to internal registers.
3 RD Read Input. Active low logic input. Used in conjunction with CS and HBEN to read from internal
registers.
4 CS Chip Select Input. Active low logic input. The device is selected when this input is active.
5 REF
IN
/ Reference Input/Output. This pin is connected to the internal reference through a series resistor and is the
REF
OUT
reference source for the analog-to-digital converter. The nominal reference voltage is 2.5 V and this appears
at the pin. This pin can be overdriven by an external reference and can be taken as high as AV
DD
. When
this pin is tied to AV
DD
, then the C
REF1
pin should also be tied to AV
DD
.
6AV
DD
Analog Positive Supply Voltage, +3.0 V to +5.5 V.
7 AGND Analog Ground. Ground reference for track/hold, reference and DAC.
8C
REF1
Reference Capacitor (0.1 µF multilayer ceramic). This external capacitor is used as a charge source for the
internal DAC. The capacitor should be tied between the pin and AGND.
9C
REF2
Reference Capacitor (0.01 µF ceramic disc). This external capacitor is used in conjunction with the on-chip
reference. The capacitor should be tied between the pin and AGND.
10 AIN(+) Analog Input. Positive input of the pseudo-differential analog input. Cannot go below AGND or above
AV
DD
at any time, and cannot go below AIN(–) when the unipolar input range is selected.
11 AIN(–) Analog Input. Negative input of the pseudo-differential analog input. Cannot go below AGND or above
AV
DD
at any time.
12 HBEN High Byte Enable Input. The AD7854 operates in byte mode only but outputs 12 bits of data during a read
cycle with HBEN low. When HBEN is high, then the high byte of data that is written to or read from the
part is on DB0 to DB7. When HBEN is low, then the lowest byte of data being written to the part is on
DB0 to DB7. If reading from the part with HBEN low, then the lowest 12 bits of data appear on pins DB0
to DB11. This allows a single read from the ADC or from the control register in a 16-bit bus system.
However, two reads are needed to access the calibration registers. Also, two writes are necessary to write to
any of the registers.
13–21 DB0–DB8 Data Bits 0 to 8. Three state data I/O pins that are controlled by CS, RD, WR and HBEN. Data output is
straight binary (unipolar mode) or twos complement (bipolar mode).
22 DV
DD
Digital Supply Voltage, +3.0 V to +5.5 V.
23 DGND Digital Ground. Ground reference point for digital circuitry.
24–26 DB9–DB11 Data Bits 9 to 11. Three state data output pins that are controlled by CS, RD and HBEN. Data output is
straight binary (unipolar mode) or twos complement (bipolar mode). These output pins should be tied to
DV
DD
via 100 kΩ resistors when the AD7854/AD7854L is being interfaced to an 8-bit data bus.
27 CLKIN Master Clock Signal for the device (4 MHz for AD7854, 1.8 MHz for AD7854L). Sets the conversion and
calibration times.
28 BUSY Busy Output. The busy output is triggered high by the falling edge of CONVST and remains high until
conversion is completed. BUSY is also used to indicate when the AD7854/AD7854L has completed its on-
chip calibration sequence.
