pin Functions
AIN+(Pin1):NoninvertingAnalogInput.AIN+operatesfully
differentially with respect to AIN– with a 0V to 2.5V dif-
ferential swing and a 0V to VDD common mode swing.
AIN– (Pin 2): Inverting Analog Input. AIN– operates fully
differentially with respect to AIN+ with a –2.5V to 0V dif-
ferential swing and a 0V to VDD common mode swing.
VREF (Pin 3): 2.5V Internal Reference. Bypass to GND
and to a solid analog ground plane with a 10F ceramic
capacitor(or10Ftantaluminparallelwith0.1Fceramic).
Can be overdriven by an external reference between 2.55V
and VDD.
GND (Pins 4, 5, 6, 11): Ground and Exposed Pad. These
ground pins and the exposed pad must be tied directly to
the solid ground plane under the part. Keep in mind that
analog signal currents and digital output signal currents
flow through these pins.
VDD (Pin 7): 3.3V Positive Supply. This single power pin
supplies 3.3V to the entire device. Bypass to GND and to
a solid analog ground plane with a 10F ceramic capacitor
(or 10F tantalum in parallel with 0.1F ceramic). Keep in
mind that internal analog currents and digital output signal
currents flow through this pin. Care should be taken to
place the 0.1F bypass capacitor as close to Pins 6 and
7 as possible.
SDO (Pin 8): Three-State Serial Data Output. Each set
of output data words represents the difference between
AIN+ and AIN– analog inputs at the start of the previous
conversion.
SCK(Pin9):ExternalClockInput.Advancestheconversion
process and sequences the output data on the rising edge.
Responds to TTL (≤3.3V) and 3.3V CMOS levels. One or
more SCK pulses wakes the ADC from sleep mode.
CONV(Pin10):ConvertStart.Holdstheanaloginputsignal
and starts the conversion on the rising edge. Responds
to TTL (≤3.3V) and 3.3V CMOS levels. Two CONV pulses
with SCK in fixed high or fixed low state start Nap mode.
Four or more CONV pulses with SCK in fixed high or fixed
low state start Sleep mode.
