FEATURES...
The SP86XX Series are specified at sampling
rates of 333kHz (SP8603), 200kHz (SP8605) or
100kHz (SP8610). Conversion times are factory
set for 2.70
s, 4.7
s and 9.7
s maximum, re-
spectively, over temperature, and the high-
speed sampling input stage insures a total acqui-
sition and conversion time of 3
s, 5
s and 10
s
maximum, respectively, over temperature. Pre-
cision, laser-trimmed scaling resistors provide
industry-standard input ranges of 0V to +5V or
0V to +10V.
The 28-pin SP86XX Series are available in
narrow plastic DIP, and SOIC packages and it
operates from a single +5V supply. The SP86XX
Series are available in grades specified over the
0
C to +70
C commercial temperature ranges.
OPERATION
Basic Operation
Figure 1 shows the simple hookup circuit required
to operate the SP86XX Series in a 0V to +10V
range in the Convert Mode. A convert command
arriving on R/C puts the SP86XX Series in the
HOLD mode, and a conversion is started. This
pulse must be LOW for a minimum of 40ns.
Because this pulse establishes the sampling instant
of the A/D, it must have very low jitter. BUSY will
be held LOW during the conversion, and rises only
after the conversion is completed and the data has
been transferred to the output drivers. Thus, the
rising edge can be used to read the data from the
conversion. Also, during conversion, the BUSY
signal puts the output data lines in Hi-Z states and
inhibits the input lines. This means that pulses on
R/C are ignored, so that new conversions cannot be
initiated during a conversion.
The SP86XX Series will begin acquiring a new
sample just prior to the BUSY output rising, and
will track the input signal until the next conversion
is started.
In the Read Mode, R/C is kept normally LOW, and
a HIGH pulse is used to read data and initiate a
conversion. In this mode, the rising edge of R/C
will enable the output data pins, and the data from
the previous conversion becomes valid. The fall-
ing edge then puts the SP86XX Series in a hold
mode, and initiates a new conversion.
For use with an 8-bit bus, the data can be read out in two
bytes under the control of HBE. With a LOW input
on HBE, at the end of a conversion, the 8 LSBs of data
are loaded into the output drivers on D
7
through D
4
and
D
3
through D
0
. Taking HBE HIGH then loads the 4
MSBs on D
3
through D
0
, with D
7
through D
4
being
forced LOW.
Analog Input Ranges
The SP86XX Series offers two standard unipolar
input ranges: 0V to +10V and 0V to +5V. If a 10V
unipolar range is required, the analog input signal
should be connected to pin 2. A signal requiring a
5V unipolar range should be connected to pin 3. In
either case, the other pin of the two must be
grounded or connected to the adjustment circuits
described in the section on calibration.
Controlling The SP86XX Series
The SP86XX Series can be easily interfaced to most
microprocessor-based and other digital systems. The
microprocessor may take full control of each conver-
sion, or the SP86XX Series may operate in a stand-
alone mode, controlled only by the R/C input. Full
control consists of initiating the conversion and read-
ing the output data at user command, transmitting data
either all 12-bits in one parallel word, or in two 8-bit
bytes. The three control inputs (CS, R/C and HBE) are
all TTL/CMOS compatible. The functions of the

Table 1. Control Line Functions
control lines are shown in Table 1.
For stand-alone operation, control of the SP86XX
Series is accomplished by a single control line
connected to R/C. In this mode, CS and HBE are
connected to GND. The output data are presented
as 12-bit words. The stand-alone mode is used in
systems containing dedicated input ports which do
not require full bus interface capability.
Conversion is initiated by a HIGH-to-LOW transition
on R/C. The three-state data output buffers are enabled
when R/C is HIGH and BUSY is HIGH. Thus, there
are two possible modes of operation: conversion can
be initiated with either positive or negative pulses. In
either case, the R/C pulse must remain LOW a
minimum of 40ns.
Figure 5 illustrates timing when conversion is initi-
ated by an R/C pulse which goes LOW and returns
HIGH during the conversion. In this case (Convert
Mode), the three-state outputs go into the Hi-Z state in
response to the falling edge of R/C, and are enabled for
external access to the data after completion of the
conversion.
Figure 6 illustrates the timing when conversion is
initiated by a positive R/C pulse. In this mode (Read
Mode), the output data from the previous conversion
is enabled during the HIGH portion of R/C. A new
conversion starts on the falling edge of R/C, and the
three-state outputs return to the Hi-Z state until the next
occurrence of a HIGH on R/C.
Conversion Start
A conversion is initiated on the SP86XX Series only
by a negative transition occurring on R/C, as shown
in Table 2. No other combination of states or transi-
tions will initiate a conversion. Conversion is inhibited
if either CS or HBE are HIGH, or if BUSY is LOW.
CS and HBE should be stable a minimum of 25ns
prior to the transition on R/C. Timing relationships for
start of conversion are illustrated in Figure 7.
The BUSY output indicates the current state of the
converter by being LOW only during conversion.
During this time the three-state output buffers remain
in a Hi-Z state, and therefore data cannot be read
during conversion. During this period, additional
transitions on the three digital inputs (CS, R/C and
HBE) will be ignored, so that conversion cannot be
prematurely terminated or restarted.
I
nternal Clock
The SP86XX Series has an internal clock that is
factory trimmed to achieve the typical conversion
times given in the specifications, and a maximum
conversion time over the full operating tempera-
ture range of 2.7
s, 4.7
s or 9.7
s, depending on
the model. No external adjustments are required,
and with the guaranteed maximum acquisition
time of 300ns, throughput performance is assured
with convert pulses as close as 3
s for the SP8603.
Reading Data
After conversion is initiated, the output buffers remain
in a Hi-Z state until the following three logic condi-
tions are simultaneously met: R/C is HIGH, BUSY is
HIGH and CS is LOW. Upon satisfying these condi-
tions, the data lines are enabled according to the state
of HBE. See Figure 7 for timing relationships and
specifications.
CALIBRATION...
Optional External Gain And Offset Trim
Offset and full-scale errors may be trimmed to zero
using external offset and full-scale trim potenti-
ometers connected to the SP86XX Series as shown

Layout Considerations
Because of the high resolution and linearity of the
SP86XX Series, system design problems such as
ground path resistance and contact resistance become
very important.
The input resistance of the SP86XX Series is 6.3k
or 4.2K
(for the 10V and 5V ranges respectively).
connections as shown in Figure 2 should be used.
Calibration Procedure
Apply a precision input voltage source to your
chosen input range (10V range at pin 2 or 5V at
pin 3). Set the A/D to convert continuously.
Monitor the output code. Trim the offset first,
then gain. Use the appropriate input voltages
and output target codes for your chosen input
range as follows. The recommended offset cali-
bration voltage values eliminate interaction be-
tween the offset and gain calibration

To avoid introducing distortion, the source resistance
must be very low, or constant with signal level. The
output impedance provided by most op amps is ideal.
Pins 26 Digital Supply Voltage (V
SD
) and 27 Analog
Supply Voltage (V
SA
) are brought out to separate pins
to maximize accuracy on the chip. They should be
connected together as close as possible to the unit. Pin
27 may be slightly more sensitive than pin 26 to supply
variations, but to maintain maximum system accu-
racy, both should be wellisolated from digital sup-
plies with wide load variations.
To limit the effects of digital switching elsewhere in a
system on the analog performance of the system, it
often makes sense to run a separate +5V supply
conductor from the supply regulator to any analog
components requiring +5V, including the SP86XX
Series. If the SP86XX Series traces cannot be
separated back to the power supply terminals, and
therefore share the same trace as the logic supply
currents, then a 10 Ohm isolating resistor should be
used between the board supply and pin 24 (V
DA
) and
its bypass capacitors to keep V
DA
glitchfree. The V
S
pins (26 and 27) should be connected together and
bypassed with a parallel combination of a 6.8
F
Tantalum capacitor and a 0.1
F ceramic capacitor
located close to the converter to obtain noise-free
operation. (See Figure 1). Noise on the power supply
lines can degrade converter performance, especially
noise and spikes from a switching power supply.
Appropriate supplies or filters must be used.
The GND pins (5 and 16) are also separated internally,
and should be directly connected to a ground plane
under the converter. A ground plane is usually the best
solution for preserving dynamic performance and
reducing noise coupling into sensitive converter cir-
cuits. Where any compromises must be made, the
common return of the analog input signal should be
referenced to pin 5, AGND, on the SP86XX Series,
which prevents any voltage drops that might occur in
the power supply common returns from appearing in
series with the input signal.
Coupling between analog input and digital lines should
be minimized by careful layout. For instance, if the
lines must cross, they should do so at right angles.
Parallel analog and digital lines should be separated
from each other by a pattern connected to common.
If external full scale and offset potentiometers are
used, the potentiometers and related resistors should
be located as close to the SP86XX Series as possible.
"Hot Socket" Precaution
Two separate +5V V
S
pins, 26 and 27, are used to
minimize noise caused by digital transients. If one pin
is powered and the other is not, the SP86XX Series
may draw excessive current. In normal operation, this
is not a problem because both pins will be soldered

Minimizing "Glitches"
Coupling of external transients into an analog-to-
digital converter can cause errors which are difficult to
debug. In addition to the discussions earlier on layout
considerations for supplies, bypassing and grounding,
there are several other useful steps that can be taken to
get the best analog performance out of a system using
the SP86XX Series. These potential system problem
sources are particularly important to consider when
developing a new system, and looking for the causes
of errors in breadboards.
First, care should be taken to avoid glitches during
critical times in the sampling and conversion process.
Since the SP86XX Series has an internal sample/hold
function, the signal that puts it into the hold state (R/C
going LOW) is critical, as it would be on any sample/
hold amplifier. The R/C falling edge should have a 5
to 10ns transition time, low jitter, and have minimal
ringing, especially during the 20ns after it falls.
Although not normally required, it is also good prac-
tice to avoid glitches from coupling to the SP86XX
Series while bit decisions are being made. Since the
above discussion calls for a fast, clean rise and fall on

layout of the circuit in front of the SP86XX Series.
Finally, in multiplexed systems, the timing relative to
when the multiplexer is switched may affect the
analog performance of the system. In most applica-
tions, the multiplexer can be switched as soon as R/C
goes LOW (with appropriate delays), but this may
affect the conversion if the switched signal shows
glitches or significant ringing at the SP86XX Series
input. Whenever possible, it is safer to wait until the
conversion is completed before switching and multi-
plexer. The extremely fast acquisition time and con-
version time of the SP86XX Series make this practi-
cal in many applications.
R/C, it makes sense to keep the rising edge of the
convert pulse outside the time when bit decisions are
being made. In other words, the convert pulse should
either be short (under 100ns so that it transitions before
the MSB decision), or relatively long (i.e., for the
SP8603, over 2.75
s to transition after the LSB
decision).
Next, although the data outputs are forced into a Hi-Z
state during conversion, fast bus transients can still be
capacitively coupled into the SP86XX Series. If the
data bus experiences fast transients during conver-
sion, these transients can be attenuated by adding a
logic buffer to the data outputs. The BUSY output can
be used to enable the buffer.
Naturally, transients on the analog input signal are to
be avoided, especially at times within
20ns of R/C
going LOW, when they may be trapped as part of the
charge on the capacitor array. This requires careful
