REFERENCE
The ADS79XX can operate with an external 2.5V ± 10mV reference. A clean, low noise, well-decoupled
reference voltage on the REF pin is required to ensure good performance of the converter. A low noise band-gap
reference like the REF5025 can be used to drive this pin. A 10-mF ceramic decoupling capacitor is required
between the REF and GND pins of the converter. The capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the
pins of the device.
POWER SAVING
The ADS79XX devices offer a power-down feature to save power when not in use. There are two ways to
powerdown the device. It can be powered down by writing DI05 = 1 in the Mode Control register (refer to
Table 1, Table 2 and Table 5); in this case the device powers down on the 16th falling edge of SCLK in the next
data frame. Another way to powerdown the device is through GPIO. GPIO3 can act as a PD input (refer to
Table 10, for assigning this functionality to GPIO3). This is an asynchronous and active low input. The device
powers down instantaneously after GPIO3 (PD) = 0. The device will powerup again on the CS falling edge while
DI05 = 0 in the Mode Control register and GPIO3 (PD) = 1.
DIGITAL OUTPUT
As discussed previously in the Device Operation section, the digital output of the ADS79XX devices is SPI
compatible. The following table lists the output codes corresponding to various analog input voltages.
