AD7952
Rev. A | Page 23 of 32
OVDD should be set to the same level as the system interface.
Sufficient decoupling is required, consisting of at least a 10 μF
capacitor and a 100 nF capacitor with the 100 nF capacitors
placed as close as possible to the AD7952.
Power Sequencing
The AD7952 requires sequencing of the AVDD and DVDD
supplies. AVDD should come up prior to or simultaneously
with DVDD. This can be achieved using the configuration in
Figure 27 or sequencing the supplies in that manner. The
other supplies can be sequenced as desired as long as absolute
maximum ratings are observed. The AD7952 is very insensitive
to power supply variations on AVDD over a wide frequency

Power Dissipation vs. Throughput
In impulse mode, the AD7952 automatically reduces its power
consumption at the end of each conversion phase. During the
acquisition phase, the operating currents are very low, which allows
a significant power savings when the conversion rate is reduced
(see
Figure 33). This feature makes the AD7952 ideal for very
low power, battery-operated applications.
It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even
during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital supply
currents even further, drive the digital inputs close to the power
rails (that is, OVDD and OGND).

Power Down
Setting PD = high powers down the AD7952, thus reducing
supply currents to their minimums, as shown in
Figure 23. When
the ADC is in power-down, the current conversion (if any) is
completed and the digital bus remains active. To further reduce
the digital supply currents, drive the inputs to OVDD or OGND.
Power-down can also be programmed with the configuration
that when using the configuration register, the PD input is a
don’t care and should be tied to either high or low.
CONVERSION CONTROL
The AD7952 is controlled by the CNVST input. A falling edge
on CNVST is all that is necessary to initiate a conversion. A
detailed timing diagram of the conversion process is shown in
Figure 34. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or aborted,
even by the power-down input, PD, until the conversion is
completed. The CNVST signal operates independently of the CS
and RD signals.

Figure 34. Basic Conversion Timing
Although CNVST is a digital signal, it should be designed with
special care with fast, clean edges, and levels with minimum
overshoot, undershoot, or ringing.
The CNVST trace should be shielded with ground, and a low value
(such as 50 Ω) serial resistor termination should be added close
to the output of the component that drives this line.
For applications where SNR is critical, the CNVST signal should
have very low jitter. This can be achieved by using a dedicated
oscillator for CNVST generation, or by clocking CNVST with a
high frequency, low jitter clock, as shown in
Figure 27.
