Input Range
The analog input range for the AD7858/AD7858L is 0 V to
V
REF
. The AIN(
–
) pin on the AD7858/AD7858L can be biased
up above AGND, if required. The advantage of biasing the
lower end of the analog input range away from AGND is that
the user does not need to have the analog input swing all the
way down to AGND. This has the advantage in true single-
supply applications that the input amplifier does not need to
swing all the way down to AGND. The upper end of the analog
input range is shifted up by the same amount. Care must be
taken so that the bias applied does not shift the upper end of the
analog input above the AV
DD
supply. In the case where the
reference is the supply, AV
DD
, the AIN(
–
) must be tied to
AGND.

Input Configuration
Transfer Function
For the AD7858/AD7858L input range the designed code tran-
sitions occur midway between successive integer LSB values
(i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs, 5/2 LSBs . . . FS
–
3/2 LSBs). The
output coding is straight binary with 1 LSB = FS/4096 = 3.3 V/
4096 = 0.8 mV when V
REF
= 3.3 V. The ideal input/output
transfer characteristic is shown in Figure 15.

REFERENCE SECTION
For specified performance, it is recommended that when using
an external reference this reference should be between 2.3 V
and the analog supply AV
DD
. The connections for the relevant
reference pins are shown in the typical connection diagrams. If
the internal reference is being used, the REF
IN
/REF
OUT
pin
should have a 100 nF capacitor connected to AGND very close
to the REF
IN
/REF
OUT
pin. These connections are shown in
Figure 16.
If the internal reference is required for use external to the ADC,
it should be buffered at the REF
IN
/REF
OUT
pin and a 100 nF
connected from this pin to AGND. The typical noise performance
for the internal reference, with 5 V supplies, is 150 nV/
√
Hz
@
1 kHz and dc noise is 100
μ
V p-p.

The other option is that the REF
IN
/REF
OUT
pin be overdriven
by connecting it to an external reference. This is possible due to
the series resistance from the REF
IN
/REF
OUT
pin to the internal
reference. This external reference can have a range that includes
AV
DD
. When using AV
DD
as the reference source, the 100 nF
capacitor from the REF
IN
/REF
OUT
pin to AGND should be as
close as possible to the REF
IN
/REF
OUT
pin, and also the C
REF1
pin should be connected to AV
DD
to keep this pin at the same
level as the reference. The connections for this arrangement are
shown in Figure 17. When using AV
DD
it may be necessary to
add a resistor in series with the AV
DD
supply. This will have the
effect of filtering the noise associated with the AV
DD
supply.
