AD7893
AD7893–ADSP-2105 Interface
An interface circuit between the AD7893 and the ADSP-2105
DSP processor is shown in Figure 8. In the interface shown, the
RFS1 output from the ADSP-2105’s SPORT1 serial port is
used to gate the serial clock (SCLK1) of the ADSP-2105 before
it is applied to the SCLK input of the AD7893. The RFS1 out-
put is configured for active high operation. The interface
ensures a noncontinuous clock for the AD7893’s serial clock
input with only sixteen serial clock pulses provided, and the
serial clock line of the AD7893 remaining low between data
transfers. The SDATA line from the AD7893 is connected to
the DR1 line of the ADSP-2105’s serial port.

The timing relationship between the SCLK1 and RFS1 outputs
of the ADSP-2105 are such that the delay between the rising
edge of the SCLK1 and the rising edge of an active high RFS1
is up to 25 ns. There is also a requirement that data must be set
up 10 ns prior to the falling edge of the SCLK1 to be read cor-
rectly by the ADSP-2105. The data access time for the AD7893
is 50 ns from the rising edge of its SCLK input. Assuming a
10 ns propagation delay through the external AND gate, the
high time of the SCLK1 output of the ADSP-2105 must be
≥ (50 + 25 + 10 + 10) ns, i.e., ≥ 95 ns. This means that the
serial clock frequency with which the interface of Figure 13 can
work with is limited to 5.26 MHz.
An alternative scheme is to configure the ADSP-2105 to accept
an external serial clock. In this case, an external noncontinuous
serial clock that drives the serial clock inputs of both the ADSP-
2105 and the AD7893 is provided. In this scheme, the serial
clock frequency is limited to 5 MHz by the ADSP-2105.
To monitor the conversion time on the AD7893, a scheme such
as outlined in previous interfaces with CONVST can be used.
This can be implemented by connecting the CONVST line
directly to the IRQ2 input of the ADSP-2105.
AD7893–DSP56000 Interface
Figure 9 shows an interface circuit between the AD7893 and the
DSP56000 DSP processor. The DSP5600 is configured for nor-
mal mode asynchronous operation with gated clock. It is also set
up for a 16-bit word with the gated serial clock being generated
by the DSP56000 and appears on the SC0 pin. The SC0 pin
should be configured as an output by setting bit SCD0 to 1. In
this mode, the DSP56000 provides sixteen serial clock pulses to
the AD7893 in a serial read operation. The DSP56000 assumes
valid data on the first falling edge of SCK, so the interface is
simply two-wire as shown in Figure 9.
To monitor the conversion time on the AD7893, a scheme such
as outlined in previous interface examples with CONVST can
be used. This can be implemented by connecting the CONVST
line directly to the IRQA input of the DSP56000.

AD7893 PERFORMANCE
Linearity
The linearity of the AD7893 is determined by the on-chip 12-bit
D/A converter. This is a segmented DAC that is laser trimmed
for 12-bit integral linearity and differential linearity. Typical
relative numbers for the part are ± 1/4 LSB, while the typical
DNL errors are ± 1/2 LSB.
Noise
In an A/D converter, noise exhibits itself as code uncertainty in
dc applications and as the noise floor (in an FFT, for example)
in ac applications. In a sampling A/D converter like the AD7893,
all information about the analog input appears in the baseband
from dc to 1/2 the sampling frequency. The input bandwidth of
the track/hold exceeds the Nyquist bandwidth; therefore, an
antialiasing filter should be used to remove unwanted signals
above f_S/2 in the input signal in applications where such signals
exist.
Figure 10 shows a histogram plot for 8192 conversions of a dc
input using the AD7893. The analog input was set at the center
of a code transition. The timing and control sequence used was
per Figure 3 where the optimum performance of the ADC was
achieved. It can be seen that almost all the codes appear in the
one output bin, indicating very good noise performance from
the ADC. The rms noise performance for the AD7893-2 for the
above plot was 87 µV. Since the analog input range, and hence
LSB size, on the AD7893-10 is eight times what it is for the
AD7893-2, the same output code distribution results in an out-
put rms noise of 700 µV for the AD7893-10.
