AD7466/AD7467/AD7468
The conversion result consists of four leading zeros followed by
the MSB of the 12-bit, 10-bit, or 8-bit result from the AD7466,
AD7467, or AD7468, respectively. See the Serial Interface
section. Alternatively, because the supply current required by
the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 is so low, a precision reference
can be used as the supply source to the devices.
The REF19x series devices are precision micropower, low drop-
out voltage references. For the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468
voltage range operation, the REF193, REF192, and REF191 can
be used to supply the required voltage to the ADC, delivering
3 V, 2.5 V, and 2.048 V, respectively (see Figure 22). This con-
figuration is especially useful if the power supply is quite noisy
or if the system supply voltages are at a value other than 3 V or
2.5 V (for example, 5 V). The REF19x outputs a steady voltage
to the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468. If the low dropout REF192 is
used when the AD7466 is converting at a rate of 100 kSPS, the
REF192 needs to supply a maximum of 240 μA to the AD7466.
The load regulation of the REF192 is typically 10 ppm/mA
(REF192, V
for the 240 μA drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.0098 LSB
error for the AD7466 with V
applications where power consumption is important, the
automatic power-down mode of the ADC and the sleep mode
of the REF19x reference should be used to improve power
performance. See the Normal Mode section.
Table 7 provides some typical performance data with various
references used as a V
conditions. The ADR318, for instance, is a 1.8 V band gap
voltage reference. Its tiny footprint, low power consumption,
and additional shutdown capability make the ADR318 ideal for
battery-powered applications.

ANALOG INPUT
An equivalent circuit of the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 analog
input structure is shown in Figure 23. The two diodes, D1 and
D2, provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be
taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the
supply rails by more than 300 mV. This causes these diodes to
become forward-biased and to start conducting current into the
substrate. Capacitor C1 in Figure 23 is typically about 4 pF and
can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance of a switch.
This resistor is typically about 200 Ω. Capacitor C2 is the ADC
sampling capacitor with a typical capacitance of 20 pF.

For ac applications, removing high frequency components
from the analog input signal by using a band-pass filter on
the relevant analog input pin is recommended. In applications
where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical,
the analog input should be driven from a low impedance
source. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac
performance of the ADC. This might necessitate the use of an
input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function of
the particular application.
Table 8 provides typical performance data for various op amps
used as the input buffer under constant setup conditions.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum
source impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic
distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. The THD increases as
the source impedance increases and performance degrades.
Figure 12 shows a graph of THD vs. analog input signal
frequency for different source impedances when using a supply
voltage of 2.7 V and sampling at a rate of 100 kSPS.
DIGITAL INPUTS
The digital inputs applied to the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468
are not limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog
inputs. Instead, the digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are
not restricted by the V
For example, if the AD7466/AD7467/AD7468 are operated with
