11
ADD0
Address Input. This control input determines whether the word placed on the output data bus during a read operation is a data
word from the FIFO RAM or the contents of the status/control register. A logic low accesses the data word from Location 0 of
the FIFO while a logic high selects the contents of the register (see Status/Control Register section).

13
CS
Chip Select. Active low logic input. The device is selected when this input is active.
DMWR
Dam Memory Write. Active low logic input. DMWR is used in conjunction with CS low and ADD0 high to write data to the
status/control register. Corresponds to DMWR (ADSP-2100), R/W (MC68000, TMS32020), WE (TMS32010).

15
DMRD
BUSY
Data Memory READ. Active low logic input. DMRD is used in conjunction with CS low to enable the three-state output buffers.
Corresponds directly to DMRD (ADSP-2100), DEN (TMS32010).
Active Low Logic Output. This output goes low when the ADC receives a CONVST pulse and remains low until the track/hold
has gone into its hold mode. The three-state drivers of the AD7878 can be disabled while the BUSY signal is low (see Extended
READ/WRITE section). This is achieved by writing a logic 0 to DB5 (DISO) of the status/control register. Writing a logic 1 to
DB5 of the status/control register allows data to be accessed from the AD7878 while BUSY is low.
16
ALFL
FIFO Almost Full. A logic low indicates that the word count (i.e., number of conversion results) in the FIFO memory has
reached the programmed word count in the status/control register. ALFL is updated at the end of each conversion. The ALFL
output is reset to a logic high when a word is read from the FIFO memory and the word count is less than the preprogrammed
word count. It can also be set high by writing a logic 1 to DB7 (ENAF) of the status/control register.
17
DGND
VCC
Digital Ground. Ground reference for digital circuitry.
18
Digital supply voltage, +5 V ± 5%. Positive supply voltage for digital circuitry.
Data Bit 11 (MSB). Three-state TTL output. Coding for the data words in FIFO RAM is twos complement.
19
DB11
10–15
16–19
20
DB10–DB5 Data Bit 10 to Data Bit 5. Three-state TTL input/outputs.
DB4–DB1
DB0
Data Bit 4 to Data Bit 1. Three-state TTL outputs.
Data Bit 0 (LSB). Three-state TTL output.
21
VDD
Analog positive supply voltage, +5 V ± 5%.
22
AGND
REF OUT
Analog Ground. Ground reference for track/hold, reference and DAC.
23
Voltage Reference Output. The internal 3 V analog reference is provided at this pin. The external load capability of the reference
is 500 µA.
24
25
26
VIN
Analog Input. Analog input range is ±3 V.
Analog negative supply voltage, –5 V ± 5%.
VSS
CONVST
Convert Start. Logic input. A low to high transition on this input puts the track/hold into its hold mode and starts conversion.
The CONVST input is asynchronous to CLK IN and independent of CS, DMWR and DMRD.
27
28
RESET
Reset. Active low logic input. A logic low sets the words in FIFO memory to 1000 0000 0000 and resets the ALFL output and
status/control register.
CLK IN
Clock Input. TTL-compatible logic input. Used as the clock source for the A/D converter. The mark-space ratio of this clock can
vary from 35/65 to 65/35.
