Reset

When RESET is low, the CS4245 enters a low-power mode and all internal states are reset, including the

control port and registers, the outputs are muted. When RESET is high, the control port becomes operation-

al, and the desired settings should be loaded into the control registers. Writing a 0 to the PDN bit in the Pow-

er Control register will then cause the part to leave the low-power state and begin operation.

The delta-sigma modulators settle in a matter of microseconds after the analog section is powered, either

through the application of power or by setting the RESET pin high. However, the voltage reference will take

much longer to reach a final value due to the presence of external capacitance on the FILT1+ and FILT2+

pins. During this voltage reference ramp delay, both SDOUT and DAC outputs will be automatically muted.

It is recommended that RESET be activated if the analog or digital supplies drop below the recommended

operating condition to prevent power-glitch-related issues.

Synchronization of Multiple Devices

In systems where multiple ADCs are required, care must be taken to achieve simultaneous sampling. To

ensure synchronous sampling, the mast er clocks and left/ right clocks must be the same f or all of the

CS4245s in the system. If only one master clock source is needed, one solution is to place one CS4245 in

Master Mode, and slave all of the other CS4245s to the one master. If multiple master clock sources are

needed, a possible solution would be to supply all clocks from the same external source and time the

CS4245 reset with the inactive edge of master clock. This will ensure that all converters begin sampling on

the same clock edge.

Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling

As with any high-resolution converter, the CS4245 requires careful attention to power supply and grounding

arrangements if its potential performance is to be realized. Figure 12 shows the recommended power ar-

rangements, with VA connected to a clean supply. VD, which powers the digital filter, may be run from the

system logic supply (VLS or VLC) or may be powered from the analog supply (VA) via a resistor. In this

case, no additional devices should be powered from VD. Power supply decoupling capacitors should be as

near to the CS4245 as possible, with the low value ceramic capacitor being the nearest. All signals, espe-

cially clocks, should be kept away from the FILT1+, FILT2+, VQ1 and VQ2 pins in order to avoid unwanted

coupling into the modulators. The FILT1+, FILT2+, VQ1 and VQ2 decoupling capacitors, particularly the

0.1 µF, must be positioned to minimize the electrical path from FILT1+ and FILT2+ and AGND. The CS4245

evaluation board demonstrates the optimum layout and power supply arrangements. To minimize digital

noise, connect the CS4245 digital outputs only to CMOS inputs.
