To order a complete evaluation kit, the particular ADC evaluation board, e.g., EVAL-AD7866CB, the EVAL-CONTROL BRD2, and a 12 V transformer must be ordered. See relevant Evaluation Board Technical note for more information. CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the AD7866 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. REV.

Logic input. If this pin is tied to GND, the on-chip 2.5 V reference is used as the reference source for both ADC A and ADC B. In addition, pins V , D A, and D B REF CAP CAP must be tied to decoupling capacitors. If the REF SELECT pin is tied to a logic high, an external refer- ence can be supplied to the AD7866 through the V pin, in which case decoupling capacitors are REF required on D A and D B. However, if the V pin is tied to AGND while REF SELECT is tied to CAP CAP REF a logic low, an individual external reference can be applied to both ADC A and ADC B through pins D A and D B, respectively. See the Reference Configuration Options section. CAP CAP 2, 9 D B, D A Decoupling capacitors are connected to these pins to decouple the reference buffer for each respective CAP CAP ADC. The on-chip reference can be taken from these pins and applied externally to the rest of a system. Depending on the polarity of the REF SELECT pin and the configuration of the V pin, these REF pins can also be used to input a separate external reference to each ADC. The range of the external reference is dependent on the analog input range selected. See the Reference Configuration Options section. 3, 8 AGND Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7866. All analog input signals and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. Both of these pins should connect to the AGND plane of a system. The AGND and DGND voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. 4, 5 V , V Analog Inputs of ADC B. Single-ended analog input channels. The input range on each channel is 0 V B2 B1 to V or a 2 � V range depending on the polarity of the RANGE pin upon the falling edge of CS. REF REF 6, 7 V , V Analog Inputs of ADC A. Single-ended analog input channels. The input range on each channel is 0 V A2 A1 to V or a 2 � V range depending on the polarity of the RANGE pin upon the falling edge of CS. REF REF 10 V Reference Decoupling and External Reference Selection. This pin is connected to the internal reference REF and requires a decoupling capacitor. The nominal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at the pin; however, if the internal reference is to be used externally in a system, it must be taken from either the D A or D B pins. This pin is also used in conjunction with the REF SELECT pin when CAP CAP applying an external reference to the AD7866. See the REF SELECT pin description. –6– REV. A AD7866 PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS (continued) Pin No. Mnemonic Function 11 RANGE Analog Input Range and Output Coding Selection. Logic input. The polarity on this pin will determine what input range the analog input channels on the AD7866 will have, and will also select the type of output coding the ADC will use for the conversion result. On the falling edge of CS, the polarity of this pin is checked to determine the analog input range of the next conversion. If this pin is tied to a logic low, the analog input range is 0 V to V and the output coding from the part will REF be straight binary (for the next conversion). If this pin is tied to a logic high when CS goes low, the analog input range is 2 � V and the output coding for the part will be twos complement. How- REF ever, if after the falling edge of CS the logic level of the RANGE pin has changed upon the eighth SCLK falling edge, the output coding will change to the other option without any change in the analog input range. (See the Analog Input and ADC Transfer Function sections.) 12 AV Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the only supply voltage for all analog circuitry on the DD AD7866. The AV and DV voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be DD DD more than 0.3 V apart even on a transient basis. This supply should be decoupled to AGND. 13 DV Digital Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for all digital circuitry on the DD AD7866. The DV and AV voltages should ideally be at the same potential and must not be DD DD more than 0.3 V apart even on a transient basis. This supply should be decoupled to DGND. 14 DGND Digital Ground. This is the ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7866. The DGND and AGND voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart even on a transient basis. 15, 16 D A, D B Serial Data Outputs. The data output is supplied to this pin as a serial data stream. The bits are OUT OUT clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input. The data appears on both pins simultaneously from the simultaneous conversions of both ADCs. The data stream consists of one leading zero followed by three STATUS bits, followed by the 12 bits of conversion data. The data is provided MSB first. If CS is held low for another 16 SCLK cycles after the conversion data has been output on either D A or D B, the data from the other ADC follows on the D pin. This allows data OUT OUT OUT from a simultaneous conversion on both ADCs to be gathered in serial format on either D A or OUT D B alone using only one serial port. See the Serial Interface section. OUT 17 V Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the interface DRIVE will operate. This pin should be decoupled to DGND. 18 SCLK Serial Clock. Logic Input. A serial clock input provides the SCLK for accessing the data from the AD7866. This clock is also used as the clock source for the conversion process. 19 CS Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the AD7866 and frames the serial data transfer. 20 A0 Multiplexer Select. Logic input. This input is used to select the pair of channels to be converted simultaneously, i.e., Channel 1 of both ADC A and ADC B, or Channel 2 of both ADC A and ADC B. The logic state of this pin is checked upon the falling edge of CS, and the multiplexer is set up for the next conversion. If it is low, the following conversion will be performed on Channel 1 of each ADC; if it is high, the following conversion will be performed on Channel 2 of each ADC. REV.

If it is a 1, it REF means that in the previous transfer upon the falling edge of CS, the RANGE pin was at a logic high, resulting in an analog input range of 2 � V selected for this conversion. See Analog Input section. REF 13 A0 This bit indicates on which channel the conversion is being performed, Channel 1 or Channel 2 of the ADC in question. If this bit is a 0, the conversion result will be from Channel 1 of the ADC; if it is a 1, the result will be from Channel 2 of the ADC in question. 12 A/B This bit indicates from which ADC the conversion result comes. If this bit is a 0, the result is from ADC A; if it is a 1, the result is from ADC B.
