Applications Information
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
A typical application is shown in Figure 38. The split analog and digital supply pins are both powered in this
example by the LP2950 low-dropout voltage regulator. The analog supply is bypassed with a capacitor network
located close to the ADC128S052. The digital supply is separated from the analog supply by an isolation resistor
and bypassed with additional capacitors. The ADC128S052 uses the analog supply (V
A
) as its reference voltage,
so it is very important that V
A
be kept as clean as possible. Due to the low power requirements of the
ADC128S052, it is also possible to use a precision reference as a power supply.

POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
There are three major power supply concerns with this product: power supply sequencing, power management,
and the effect of digital supply noise on the analog supply.
Power Supply Sequence
The ADC128S052 is a dual-supply device. The two supply pins share ESD resources, so care must be exercised
to ensure that the power is applied in the correct sequence. To avoid turning on the ESD diodes, the digital
supply (V
D
) cannot exceed the analog supply (V
A
) by more than 300 mV, not even on a transient basis.
Therefore, V
A
must ramp up before or concurrently with V
D
.
Power Management
The ADC128S052 is fully powered-up whenever CS is low and fully powered-down whenever CS is high, with
one exception. If operating in continuous conversion mode, the ADC128S052 automatically enters power-down
mode between SCLK's 16th falling edge of a conversion and SCLK's 1st falling edge of the subsequent
conversion (see Figure 1).
In continuous conversion mode, the ADC128S052 can perform multiple conversions back to back. Each
conversion requires 16 SCLK cycles and the ADC128S052 will perform conversions continuously as long as CS
is held low. Continuous mode offers maximum throughput.
In burst mode, the user may trade off throughput for power consumption by performing fewer conversions per
unit time. This means spending more time in power-down mode and less time in normal mode. By utilizing this
technique, the user can achieve very low sample rates while still utilizing an SCLK frequency within the electrical
specifications. The Power Consumption vs. SCLK curve in the Typical Performance Curves section shows the
typical power consumption of the ADC128S052. To calculate the power consumption (P
C
), simply multiply the
fraction of time spent in the normal mode (t
N
) by the normal mode power consumption (P
N
), and add the fraction
of time spent in shutdown mode (t
S
) multiplied by the shutdown mode power consumption (P
S
) as shown in
Figure 39.
