1. INTRODUCTION
The CS556x/7x/8x devices represent a new generation of delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters that compete
with SAR (successive approximation register) converters, with some distinct advantages. The unique features of
these over-sampling converters allow them to be multiplexed at high speed across many input channels, because
every conversion produces a fully settled result. In this application note the similarities and differences between
SAR converters and the CS556x/7x/8x family of ADCs will be discussed as well as some design tips on choosing
the right multiplexer and input amplifiers to drive these ADCs.
2. COMPARING THE CS556X/7X/8X WITH A SAR
Typically SAR ADCs have been used in the past for any high-throughput multiplexed application. This is because
most delta-sigma converters require multiple conversions to fully settle. In other words, a large step change on the
input takes a considerable amount of time to be reflected accurately (settled) in the output of the digital filter. Most
delta-sigma converters use single-bit modulators and sample at kilohertz rates, and many samples are required as
input to the digital filter to achieve the required accuracy. The CS556x/7x/8x family of converters is unique in that
the modulator output is multi-bit and the sample rate is 8 MSps (megasamples per second). This, in combination
with a specially designed FIR filter that only takes a few clock cycles to compute a result, produces a converter that
can fully settle in a single conversion.
There are several distinct advantages of delta-sigma converters over SAR converters such as their superior DNL
(differential non-linearity) performance and excellent noise immunity. One of the main reasons for the increased
noise immunity is that the digital filter attenuates the out-of-band noise. However, a SAR ADC typically has a band-
width much higher than Nyquist, and out-of-band noise can alias down into the pass band. Another reason is that
a SAR converter samples the input signal once per conversion (Figure 1a) while the delta-sigma converter averages
many samples per conversion (Figure 1b). As can be seen in Figure 1a, a noisy input signal (one with noise tran-
sients as illustrated) can result in significant errors within a SAR ADC unless multiple conversions are taken and
averaged in software. In Figure 1b, the delta-sigma converter does this internally in the digital filter resulting in a
conversion much less susceptible to transient noise.

Amplifier and Filter between Multiplexer and ADC With high-throughput converters like the 50 kSps CS5560/61, 100 kSps CS5570/71, or the 200 kSps CS5580/81 the circuit must settle in less than 10 MCLK periods (625 nanoseconds). The multiplexer before a SAR converter can be switched to the next channel after the conversion begins since the signal has already been sampled. How- ever, many SAR ADC data sheets warn that a certain " ...

... This is because the full-scale input range of the differ- ential input devices is twice that of the single ended devices. For example the CS5560/70/80 has a differential input range of 8.192 volts (±4.096) while the CS5561/71/81 has a full-scale input range of 4.096 volts (±2.048). For an equivalent internal noise, this means the full-scale input-to-noise ratio improves when using the differential input devices ...

Figure 6. 2-input, Single-ended-to-differential, Multiple Input Range, Multiplexed System In Figure 6, the differential device, CS5560, is multiplexed between two inputs which use single-ended-to-differential conversion circuits. As illustrated, each of these circuits can be configured to attenuate or amplify the single-ended input signal to use the full-scale range of the converter which is differentially ±4.096V optional capacitor which can be used to attenuate out-of-band noise to improve overall noise performance ...
