CS5540
2.8 Sleep Mode
The CS5540 features two power consumption
modes: normal and sleep. The normal mode, the
default mode, is entered after a power-on-reset. In
normal mode, the CS5540 performs conversions
and typically consumes 750 µW.
To enter sleep, transmit 8 SCLK’s (low-high tran-
sitions) after SDO falls, indicating that a conver-
sion is complete (32 SCLK’s would be needed to
read the conversion). One conversion cycle later,
when SDO falls again, the part enters sleep, reduc-
ing the consumed power to around 30 µW. During
sleep, most of the analog portion of the chip is pow-
ered down and filter convolutions are halted. While
the part is in the sleep mode, the SDO pin will re-
main in a logic high state, as long as the Chip Select
is enabled.
To exit the sleep mode, transmit 8 more SCLK’s.
Since the sleep mode disables the oscillator, ap-
proximately a 500 ms crystal oscillator start-up de-
lay period is required before the ADC returns to the
normal mode. If an external clock is used, the ADC
will return to normal power mode within 3 milli-
seconds. In either case, the SDO pin will go low to
indicate when new data is available and can be
read.
2.9 Power-Up and Initialization
Care must be exercised to insure that no pins are
ever taken below the negative analog supply (VA-)
potential. The analog and digital supplies should be
applied simultaneously to assure that the power-on
reset circuit will automatically reset the ADC when
both supplies are at acceptable levels.
Conversions will begin once a stable clock is avail-
able to the ADC. If a 32.768 kHz crystal is being
used, it will take approximately 500 ms for the os-
cillator to stabilize and to begin conversions after
power has been applied to the converter. If a
CMOS compatible clock source with no start-up
delay is being used to drive the ADC, then conver-
sions will begin immediately.
Note:
The CS5540 includes an on-chip power on
reset circuit to automatically reset the ADC
shortly after power-up. When power to the
CS5540 is applied, the ADC is held in a reset
condition until the master clock has started
and a counter-timer elapses (i.e. the
counter-timer counts 490 clock cycles to
make sure the oscillator is fully stable).
After a valid reset, the ADC is initialized into the
data state where it begins to continuously calibrate
the ADC and convert the analog input. Once a valid
conversion is complete, monitor the SDO pin for a
falling edge to indicate that the data is ready to be
read.
2.10 PCB Layout
The CS5540 should be placed entirely over an ana-
log ground plane with the DGND pin of the device
connected to the analog ground plane. Place the an-
alog-digital plane split immediately adjacent to the
digital portion of the chip
See the CDB5540/41 data sheet for suggested lay-
out details and refer to Applications Note 18 for
more detailed layout guidelines.
