Figure 19 shows how as the 10 throughput rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown V = 3.6V DD F = 2.5MHz SCLK state longer, and the average power consumption over time drops accordingly. For example, if the AD7940 is operated in a continuous 1 sampling mode, with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS and an SCLK of 2.5 MHz (V = 3.6 V), and the device is placed in power- DD down mode between conversions, the power consumption is calculated as follows. The maximum power dissipation during 0.1 normal operation is 6.84 mW (V = 3.6 V). If the power-up DD time from power-down is 1 µs, and the remaining conversion time is 6.4 µs, (using a 16 SCLK transfer), then the AD7940 can be said to dissipate 6.84 mW for 7.4 µs during each conversion 0.01 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 cycle.

Power vs. Throughput Using Power-Down Mode at 3.6 V remains in power-down mode. The AD7940 can be said to dissipate 1.08 µW for the remaining 92.6 µs of the conversion cycle. Therefore, with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS, the average power dissipated during each cycle is (7.4/100) × (6.84 mW) + (92.6/100) × (1.08 µW) = 0.51 mW Rev.

Interfacing to the ADSP-218x Figure 21. Interfacing to the TMS320C541 The timer register is loaded with a value that provides an interrupt at the required sample interval. When an interrupt is received, the values in the transmit autobuffer start to be transmitted and TFS is generated. The TFS is used to control the RFS and, therefore, the reading of data. The data is stored in the receive autobuffer for processing or to be shifted later. The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given, i.e., TX0 = AX0, the state of the SCLK is checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high before transmission will start. If the timer and SCLK values are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising edge of SCLK, the data may be transmitted, or it may wait until the next clock edge. Rev.

All analog supplies GROUNDING AND LAYOUT should be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 µF The printed circuit board that houses the AD7940 should be capacitors to AGND, as discussed in the Typical Connection designed such that the analog and digital sections are separated Diagram section. To achieve the best performance from these and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the decoupling components, the user should attempt to keep the use of ground planes that can be separated easily. A minimum distance between the decoupling capacitors and the V and DD etch technique is generally best for ground planes, since it gives GND pins to a minimum, with short track lengths connecting the best shielding. Digital and analog ground planes should be the respective pins. joined at only one place.
