Voltage Reference
A temperature compensated voltage reference provides the
reference charges used in the successive approximation
operations. The full-scale range of each A/D is proportional to the
reference voltage. The nominal value of the voltage reference is
1.25V.
Digital Outputs
Output data is available as a parallel bus in LVDS-compatible or
CMOS modes. In either case, the data is presented in double data
rate (DDR) format. Figures
3 and
4 show the timing relationships
for LVDS and CMOS modes, respectively.
Additionally, the drive current for LVDS mode can be set to a
nominal 3mA or a power-saving 2mA. The lower current setting
can be used in designs where the receiver is in close physical
proximity to the A/D. The applicability of this setting is
dependent upon the PCB layout, therefore the user should
experiment to determine if performance degradation is
observed.
The output mode and LVDS drive current are selected via the
OUTMODE pin as shown in Table
1.The output mode can also be controlled through the SPI port,
which overrides the OUTMODE pin setting. Details on this are
An external resistor creates the bias for the LVDS drivers. A 10k
Ω,
1% resistor must be connected from the RLVDS pin to OVSS.
Over Range Indicator
The over range (OR) bit is asserted when the output code reaches
positive full-scale (e.g., 0xFFF in offset binary mode). The output
code does not wrap around during an over-range condition. The
OR bit is updated at the sample rate.
Power Dissipation
The power dissipated by the ISLA118P50 is primarily dependent
on the sample rate and the output modes: LVDS vs CMOS and
DDR vs SDR. There is a static bias in the analog supply, while the
remaining power dissipation is linearly related to the sample
rate. The output supply dissipation changes to a lesser degree in
LVDS mode, but is more strongly related to the clock frequency in
CMOS mode.
Nap/Sleep
Portions of the device may be shut down to save power during
times when operation of the A/D is not required. Two power saving
modes are available: Nap, and Sleep. Nap mode reduces power
dissipation to less than 164mW and recovers to normal operation
in approximately 2.75s. Sleep mode reduces power dissipation to
less than 6mW but requires approximately 1ms to recover from a
sleep command.
Wake-up time from sleep mode is dependent on the state of
CSB; in a typical application CSB would be held high during sleep,
requiring a user to wait 150s max after CSB is asserted
(brought low) prior to writing ‘001x’ to SPI Register 25. The
device would be fully powered up, in normal mode 1ms after this
command is written.
Wake-up from Sleep Mode Sequence (CSB high)
Pull CSB Low
Wait 150s
Write ‘001x’ to Register 25
Wait 1ms until A/D fully powered on
In an application where CSB was kept low in sleep mode, the
150s CSB setup time is not required as the SPI registers are
powered on when CSB is low, the chip power dissipation increases
by ~ 15mW in this case. The 1ms wake-up time after the write of a
‘001x’ to register 25 still applies. It is generally recommended to
keep CSB high in sleep mode to avoid any unintentional SPI
activity on the A/D.
All digital outputs (Data, CLKOUT and OR) are placed in a high
impedance state during Nap or Sleep. The input clock should
remain running and at a fixed frequency during Nap or Sleep, and
CSB should be high. Recovery time from Nap mode will increase
if the clock is stopped, since the internal DLL can take up to 52s
to regain lock at 250MSPS.
By default after the device is powered on, the operational state is
controlled by the NAPSLP pin as shown in Table
2.The power-down mode can also be controlled through the SPI
port, which overrides the NAPSLP pin setting. Details on this are
indexed function when controlled from the SPI, but a global
function when driven from the pin.
Data Format
Output data can be presented in three formats: two’s
complement, Gray code and offset binary. The data format is
