7.3.1 Analog Inputs

The ADS8686S incorporates dual, simultaneous sampling, 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Each ADC is connected to eight analog input channels through a multiplexer. The device has a total of 16 analog inputs. Each analog input channel has two input pins, AIN_0A, AIN_0B and AIN_0AGND, AIN_0BGND to AIN_7A, AIN_7B and AIN_7AGND, AIN_7BGND. The positive inputs (AIN_nA, AIN_nB) are the single-ended analog inputs and the negative inputs (AIN_nAGND, AIN_nBGND) are tied to AGND. Figure 7-1 shows the simplified circuit schematic for each analog input channel, including the input clamp protection circuit, PGA, low-pass filter, high-speed ADC driver, multiplexer, and a precision 16-bit SAR ADC.

GUID-FFD47B83-B801-4912-84D1-7A0547FF3DA5-low.gifFigure 7-1 Front-End Circuit Schematic for the Selected Analog Input Channel

The device samples the voltage difference (AIN_nA, AIN_nB – AIN_nAGND, AIN_nBGND) between the selected analog input channel pins. The device allows a ±0.3-V range on the AIN_nAGND, AIN_nBGND pin for all analog input channels. Use this feature in modular systems where the sensor or signal conditioning block is further away from the ADC on the board and when a difference in the ground potential of the sensor or signal conditioner from the ADC ground is possible. In such cases, running separate wires from the AIN_nAGND, AIN_nBGND pin of the device to the sensor or signal conditioning ground is recommended

The ADS8686S also has on-chip diagnostic channels to monitor the AVDD supply and an on-chip, low-dropout regulator (LDO). Channels can be selected for conversion by controlling the CHSELx pins in hardware mode or through the channel register control in software mode. The device supports dynamic channel selection or the on-chip sequencer can be enabled to scan the channels in a preprogrammed manner. In hardware mode, simultaneous sampling is restricted to the corresponding A and B channel (that is, channel AIN_0A is always sampled with channel AIN_0B). The diagnostic channels cannot be sampled in the hardware mode of operation. Software mode is required to sample the diagnostic channels. In software mode, any AIN_nA channel can be selected with any AIN_nB channel for simultaneous sampling.
