AS1543/44
Data Sheet - Application Information
9 Application Information
Figure 35 shows a typical connection diagram for the AS1543/44. In this configuration, pin AGND, GND and DGND
connected to the analog ground plane of the system. In Figure 35, REFIN is connected to a decoupled 2.5V reference
source, to provide an analog input range of 0 to 2.5V (if RANGE (page 14) is 1 and bit SE/FDN (page 14) = 1) or 0 to
5V (if bit RANGE is 0 and bit SE/FDN = 1). In Figure 35 the AS1543/44 is connected to a VDD of 5V, however the serial
interface is connected to a 3V microprocessor.
Pin VDRIVE is connected to the same 3V supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3V logic interface. The conversion
result is output in a 16-bit word. This 16-bit data stream consists of four address bits indicating which channel the con-
version result corresponds to, followed by the 12 bits of conversion data.
Note: For applications where power consumption is of concern, the power-down modes should be used between
conversions or bursts of several conversions to improve power performance (see Power Modes on page 22).

Note: For the circuit shown in Figure 35, unused input channels should be connected to ground. For optimum perfor-
mance decouple all analog input channels and the reference input voltage to the ground of AGND.
Initialisation
When power is first applied to the AS1543/44 interal power-on reset circuitry sets the device for Auto Shutdown (PM1
= 0, PM0 = X) on page 23.
Note: The device requires 10µs after the power supplies stabilize; no conversions should be initiated during this time.
The digital output at pin DOUT will be set to tri-state after internal power-on reset.
