voltage at IN– to obtain codes unequal to 0x000. The

entire 12 bit transfer characteristic is then covered by IN+

if IN+ ranges from IN– to (IN– +Vref). Any voltage on

IN+ > (IN– + Vref) results in code 0xFFF. Code 0xFFF is

not reached, if (IN– +Vref) > VDD + 0.2V because the

input voltage is clamped at VDD + 0.2V by ESD protec-

tion devices.

The voltage at IN– can range from -0.2V … ½ VREF with-

out limiting the Code Range, assuming the fore men-

tioned VDD condition is true. See also Figure 5 for input

voltage ranges in unipolar conversion mode.

In bipolar mode, IN+ can range from (IN– - Vref/2) to (IN–

+ Vref/2) keeping the converter out of code saturation.

For instance, if IN– is set to a constant DC voltage of

Vref/2, then IN+ can vary from 0V to Vref to cover the

entire code range. Lower or higher voltages of IN+ keep

the output code at the minimum or maximum code value.

Figure 6 shows the input voltage ranges in bipolar mode

when IN– is set to a constant DC voltage.

As explained before, ZADCS146 / ZADCS147 can also

be used to convert fully differential input signals that

change around a common mode input voltage.

The bipolar mode is best used for such purposes since it

allows the input signals to be positive or negative in rela-

tion to each other.

The common mode level of a differential input signal is

calculated VCM = (V(IN+)+ V(IN–)) / 2. To avoid code clip-

ping or over steering of the converter, the common mode

level can change from ¼ Vref … ¾ Vref. Within this range

the peak to peak amplitude of the differential input signal

can be ± Vref/2.

The average input current on the analog inputs depends

on the conversion rate. The signal source must be capa-

ble of charging the internal sampling capacitors (typically

16pF on each input of the converter: IN+ and IN–) within

the acquisition time tACQ to the required accuracy. The

equivalent input circuit in sampling mode is shown in

Figure 7.

The following equation provides a rough hand calculation

for a source impedance RS that is required to settle out a

DC input signal referenced to AGND with 12 bit accuracy

in a given acquisition time
