The LTC®2385-18 is a low noise, high speed, 18-bit 5Msps
successive approximation register (SAR) ADC ideally
suited for a wide range of applications. The combination
of excellent linearity and wide dynamic range makes the
LTC2385-18 ideal for high speed imaging and instrumentation applications. No-latency operation provides a
unique solution for high speed control loop applications.
The very low distortion at high input frequencies enables
communications applications requiring wide dynamic
range and significant signal bandwidth.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to ground.
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above VDD,
VDDL or OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can
handle input currents up to 100mA below ground or above VDD, VDDL or
OVDD without latchup.
Note 4: When this pin voltage is taken below ground, it will be clamped by
an internal diode. When this pin voltage is taken above VDDL, it is clamped
by a diode in series with a 2k resistor. This product can handle input
currents up to 100mA below ground without latchup.
Note 5: VDD = 5V, VDDL = 2.5V, OVDD = 2.5V, fSMPL = 5MHz,
REFIN = 2.048V, single-ended CNV, one-lane output mode unless
otherwise noted.
Note 6: Recommended operating conditions.

Note 7: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 8: Zero-scale error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 0000 and
11 1111 1111 1111 1111. Full-scale error is the worst-case deviation of
the first and last code transitions from ideal and includes the effect of
offset error.
Note 9: When REFBUF is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must be
turned off by setting REFIN = 0V.
Note 10: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale ±VREFBUF
differential input.
Note 11: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 12: fSMPL = 5MHz, IREFBUF varies linearly with sample rate.
Note 13: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pins 1, 4, 10, 21, 26, 29 ): Ground. Connect to a
solid ground plane in the PCB underneath the ADC.
IN+, IN– (Pins 2, 3): Positive and Negative Differential
Analog Inputs. The inputs must be driven differentially
and 180° out of phase, with a common mode voltage of
2.048V. The differential input range is ±4.096V (each input
pin swings from 0V to 4.096V.)
REFGND (Pins 5, 6): Reference Ground. The two pins
should be shorted together and connected to the reference bypass capacitor with a short, wide trace. In addition, connect the pins to the exposed pad (Pin 33). A
suggested layout is shown in the ADC Reference section
of the data sheet.
REFBUF (Pins 7, 8): Internal Reference Buffer Output.
The output voltage of the internal 2× gain reference buffer,
nominally 4.096V, is provided on this pin. The two pins
should be shorted together and bypassed to REFGND with
a 10µF (X7R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor. If the internal
buffer is not required, tie REFIN to GND to power down
the buffer and connect an external 4.096V reference to
REFBUF.
REFIN (Pin 9): Internal Reference Output/Reference Buffer
Input. The output voltage of the internal reference, nominally 2.048V, is output on this pin. An external reference
can be applied to REFIN if a more accurate reference is
required. For increased filtering of reference noise, bypass
this pin to GND using a 0.1µF or larger ceramic capacitor.
If the internal reference buffer is not used, tie REFIN to
GND to power down the buffer and connect an external
buffered reference to REFBUF.
VDD (Pins 11, 12): 5V Analog Power Supply. The range
of VDD is 4.75V to 5.25V. The two pins should be shorted
together and bypassed to GND with 0.1μF and 10μF ceramic capacitors.
PD (Pin 13): Digital input that enables power-down mode.
When PD is low, the LTC2385 enters power-down mode,
and all circuitry (including the LVDS interface) is shut
down. When PD is high, the part operates normally. Logic
levels are determined by OVDD.
TESTPAT (Pin 14): Digital input that forces the LVDS data
outputs to be a test pattern. When TESTPAT is high, the
digital outputs are a test pattern. When TESTPAT is low,
the digital outputs are the ADC conversion result. Logic
levels are determined by OVDD.
DB–/DB+, DA–/DA+ (Pins 15/16, 17/18): Serial LVDS
Data Outputs. In one-lane output mode, DB–/DB+ are not
used and their LVDS driver is disabled to reduce power
consumption.
DCO–/DCO+ (Pins 19/20): LVDS Data Clock Output. This
is an echoed version of CLK–/CLK+ that can be used to
latch the data outputs.
OVDD (Pin 22): 2.5V Output Power Supply. The range of
OVDD is 2.375V to 2.625V. Bypass to GND with a 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor.
CLK–/CLK+ (Pins 23/24): LVDS Clock Input. This is an
externally applied clock that serially shifts out the conversion result.
TWOLANES (Pin 25): Digital input that enables two-lane
output mode. When TWOLANES is high (two-lane output
mode), the ADC outputs two bits at a time on DA–/DA+
and DB–/DB+. When TWOLANES is low (one-lane output
mode), the ADC outputs one bit at a time on DA–/DA+, and
DB–/DB+ are disabled. Logic levels are determined by VDDL.
CNV–/CNV+ (Pins 27/28): Conversion Start LVDS Input.
A rising edge on CNV+ puts the internal sample-and-hold
into the hold mode and starts a conversion cycle. CNV+
can also be driven with a 2.5V CMOS signal if CNV– is
tied to GND.

LTC2385-18
PIN FUNCTIONS
VDDL (Pins 30, 31): 2.5V Analog Power Supply. The
range of VDDL is 2.375V to 2.625V. The two pins should
be shorted together and bypassed to GND with 0.1μF and
10μF ceramic capacitors.
VCM (Pin 32): Common Mode Output. VCM, nominally
2.048V, can be used to set the common mode of the analog inputs. Bypass to GND with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor
close to the pin. If VCM is not used, the bypass capacitor
is not necessary as long as the parasitic capacitance on
the VCM pin is under 10pF.
Exposed Pad (Pin 33): The exposed pad on the bottom
of the package. Connect to the ground plane of the PCB
using multiple vias.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2385-18 is a low noise, high speed, 18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Operating from 5V
and 2.5V supplies, the LTC2385-18 has a fully differential
±4.096V input range, making it ideal for applications that
require a wide dynamic range. The LTC2385-18 achieves
±1.5 LSB INL (maximum), no missing codes at 18-bits
and 96dB SNR (typical).
The LTC2385-18 operates in two phases. During the acquisition phase, the sample capacitors are connected to
the analog input pins IN+ and IN– to sample the differential
analog input voltage. A rising edge on the CNV pin initiates
a conversion. During the conversion phase, the ADC is
sequenced through a successive approximation algorithm,
comparing the sampled input with binary-weighted fractions of the reference voltage (e.g. VREFBUF/2, VREFBUF/4
… VREFBUF/262144) using a differential comparator. At
the end of conversion, control logic prepares the 18-bit
digital output code for serial transfer.
The LTC2385-18 includes a precision internal 2.048V
reference, with a guaranteed 0.25% initial accuracy and
a ±20ppm/°C (maximum) temperature coefficient, as well
as an internal reference buffer. The LTC2385-18 also has
a high speed serial LVDS interface that can output one
or two bits at a time. The fast 5Msps throughput with no
pipeline latency makes the LTC2385-18 ideally suited for
a wide variety of high speed applications. The LTC2385-18
dissipates only 78mW at 5Msps and has a power-down
mode to reduce the power consumption to 10μW during
inactive periods.
TRANSFER FUNCTION
The LTC2385-18 digitizes the full-scale voltage of 2×
REFBUF into 218 levels, resulting in an LSB size of 31.25μV
with REFBUF = 4.096V. The output data is in two’s complement format. The ideal transfer function is shown in Figure
1. The ideal offset binary transfer function can be obtained
from the two’s complement transfer function by inverting
the most significant bit (MSB) of each output code.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The inputs draw a small current spike while charging the
CSAMPLE capacitors during acquisition. This current spike is
consistent and does not depend on the previously sampled
input voltage. During conversion and power-down, the
analog inputs draw only a small leakage current.

A low impedance source can directly drive the high impedance inputs of the LTC2385-18 without gain error. A
high impedance source should be buffered to minimize
settling time during acquisition and to optimize the distortion performance of the ADC. Minimizing settling time
is important even for DC signals because the ADC inputs
draw a current spike when entering acquisition.

ANALOG INPUTS
The LTC2385-18 has a fully differential ±4.096V input
range. The IN+ and IN– pins should be driven 180 degrees
out-of-phase with respect to each other, centered around
a common mode voltage (IN+ + IN–)/2 that is restricted
to (VREFBUF/2 ± 0.1V). The ADC samples and digitizes the
voltage difference between the two analog input pins (IN+
− IN–), and any unwanted signal that is common to both
inputs is reduced by the common mode rejection ratio
(CMRR) of the ADC. The analog inputs can be modeled
by the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 2. The diodes
and 10Ω resistors at the input provide ESD and overdrive
protection. In the acquisition phase, each input sees approximately 18pF (CSAMPLE) from the sampling capacitor
in series with 28Ω (RON) from the on-resistance of the
sampling switch. CPAR is a lumped capacitance on the
order of 2pF formed primarily of diode junctions.

Figure 2. Equivalent Circuit for the Differential Analog
Inputs of the LTC2385-18
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used
to drive the analog inputs of the LTC2385-18. The amplifier provides low output impedance enabling fast settling
of the analog signal during the acquisition phase. It also
provides isolation between the signal source and the current
spike drawn by the ADC inputs when entering acquisition.
The LTC2385-18 is optimized for pulsed inputs that are fully
settled when sampled, or dynamic signals up to 7.5MHz.
Input signals that change faster than 300mV/ns when they
are sampled are not recommended. This is equivalent to
an 8VP-P sine wave at 12MHz.
Input Filtering
The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifier and other
supporting circuitry must be considered since they add
to the ADC noise and distortion. A buffer amplifier with
low noise density must be selected to minimize SNR
degradation. A filter network should be placed between
the buffer output and ADC input to both minimize the
noise contribution of the buffer and reduce disturbances
reflected into the buffer from ADC sampling transients. A
simple one-pole lowpass RC filter is sufficient for many
applications. It is important that the RC time constant of
this filter be small enough to allow the analog inputs to
settle within the ADC acquisition time (tACQ), as insufficient
settling can limit INL and THD performance.
High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in
the RC filters since these components can add distortion.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
NPO type dielectric capacitors have excellent linearity.
Carbon surface mount resistors can generate distortion
from self-heating and from damage that may occur during
soldering. Metal film surface mount resistors are much
less susceptible to both problems.
Figure 3 shows a typical input drive circuit with an RC
filter. The optimal values for R and C are application specific and may require experimentation. Setting R = 24.9Ω

The analog inputs may be modeled as a switched capacitor
load on the drive circuit. A drive circuit may rely partially on
attenuating switched-capacitor current spikes with small
filter capacitors placed directly at the ADC inputs and partially on the driver amplifier having sufficient bandwidth to
recover from the residual disturbance. Amplifiers optimized
for DC performance may not have sufficient bandwidth
to fully recover at the ADC’s maximum conversion rate,
which can produce nonlinearity and other errors. Coupling
filter circuits may be classified in two broad categories:
Fully Settled – This case is characterized by filter time
constants and an overall settling time that are considerably shorter than the sample period. When acquisition
begins, the coupling filter is disturbed. For a typical first
order RC filter, the disturbance will look like an initial step
with an exponential decay. The amplifier will have its own
response to the disturbance, which may include ringing. If
the input settles completely (to within the accuracy of the
LTC2385-18), the disturbance will not contribute any error.
Partially Settled – In this case, the beginning of acquisition
causes a disturbance of the coupling filter, which then
begins to settle out towards the nominal input voltage.
However, acquisition ends (and the conversion begins)
before the input settles to its final value. This generally
produces a gain error, but as long as the settling is linear,
no distortion is produced. The coupling filter’s response
is affected by the amplifier’s output impedance and other
parameters. A linear settling response to fast switchedcapacitor current spikes can NOT always be assumed for
precision, low bandwidth amplifiers. The coupling filter
serves to attenuate the current spikes’ high-frequency
energy before it reaches the amplifier.

Input Currents
One of the biggest challenges in coupling an amplifier to
the LTC2385-18 is in dealing with current spikes drawn
by analog inputs at the start of each acquisition phase.
ADC REFERENCE
The internal reference circuitry of the LTC2385-18 is shown
in Figure 5. There is a low noise, low drift (20ppm/°C),
bandgap reference connected to REFIN (Pin 9). An internal
reference buffer gains the REFIN voltage by 2× to 4.096V
at REFBUF (Pins 7, 8). The voltage difference between
REFBUF and REFGND determines the full-scale input range
of the ADC. The reference and reference buffer can also
be externally driven if desired.

To use the internal reference and internal reference buffer, bypass REFIN to GND with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor
(Figure 6). Bypass REFBUF to REFGND with a single 10μF
(X7R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor. The REFBUF capacitor
should be as close as possible to the LTC2385-18 package
to minimize wiring inductance. Do not place this capacitor on the opposite side of the board. Adding a second,
smaller capacitor in parallel with the 10μF may degrade
performance and is not recommended.

high performance references designed to meet the needs
of many applications. With its small size, low power, and
high accuracy, the LTC6655-2.048 is well suited for use
with the LTC2385-18 when overdriving the internal reference. The LTC6655-2.048 offers 0.025% (max) initial
accuracy and 2ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient for
high precision applications. Bypassing the LTC6655-2.048

If more accuracy and/or lower drift is desired, REFIN can
be directly overdriven by an external 2.048V reference as

External Reference Buffer
The internal reference buffer can also be overdriven with
an external 4.096V reference at REFBUF as shown in
Figure 9. To do so, REFIN must be grounded to disable
the reference buffer. The external reference must have a
fast transient response and be able to drive the 0.5mA
to 0.9mA load at the REFBUF pin. The LTC6655-4.096 is
recommended when overdriving REFBUF.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The VCM output has 1/f noise which for most driver circuits
will be removed by the ADC common mode rejection ratio.
VCM is not recommended for single-ended to differential
circuits that pass the VCM noise to only one ADC input.
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio between the
RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and
the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components
except the first five harmonics and DC. Figure 10 shows
that the LTC2385-18 achieves a typical SNR of 96.2dB at
a 5MHz sampling rate with a 2kHz input.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) techniques are used to test
the ADC’s frequency response, distortion and noise at the
rated throughput. By applying a low distortion sine wave
and analyzing the digital output using an FFT algorithm,
the ADC’s spectral content can be examined for frequencies outside the fundamental. The LTC2385-18 provides
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise
measurements.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS sum
of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself.
The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency band
between DC and half the sampling frequency (fSMPL/2).
THD is expressed as:
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental
frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the
second through nth harmonics. Figure 10 shows that the
LTC2385-18 achieves a typical THD of –117dB at a 5MHz
sampling rate with a 2kHz input.
The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band-limited
to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling
frequency. Figure 10 shows that the LTC2385-18 achieves
a typical SINAD of 96.1dB at a 5MHz sampling rate with
a 2kHz input.

LTC2385-18
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2385-18 does not have any specific power supply
sequencing requirements. Care should be taken to adhere
to the maximum voltage relationships described in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The LTC2385-18
has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2385-18 at initial power-up or whenever VDD or VDDL
drops well below their minimum values. Once the supply
voltage re-enters the nominal supply voltage range, the
POR will reinitialize the ADC.
Power-Down Mode
When PD is pulled low, LTC2385-18 enters power-down
mode. In this state, all internal functions, including the
reference and LVDS outputs, are turned off and subsequent
conversion requests are ignored. The power consumption
drops to a typical value of 10µW. This mode can be used
if the LTC2385-18 is inactive for a long period of time and
the user wants to minimize power dissipation.
After the LTC2385-18 is powered on, or exits power-down
mode, conversion data is invalid for the first two conversion cycles. Subsequent results are accurate as long as
the time between conversions meets the tCYC specification.
If the analog input signal has not completely settled when
it is sampled, the ADC noise performance will be affected
by jitter on the rising edge of CNV+. In this case the rising
edge of CNV+ should be driven by a clean low jitter signal.
Note that the ADC is less sensitive to jitter on the falling
edge of CNV+.
In applications that are insensitive to jitter, CNV can be
driven directly from an FPGA.
Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2385-18 has an internal clock that is trimmed
to achieve a maximum conversion time of 101ns. With a
typical acquisition time of 133ns, throughput performance
of 5Msps is guaranteed.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2385-18 has a serial LVDS digital interface that
is easy to connect to an FPGA. Three LVDS pairs are required: CLK±, DCO±, and DA±. A fourth LVDS pair, DB±,
is optional (Figure 11).
The amount of time required to recover from power-down
mode depends on how REFBUF is configured. When using
the internal reference buffer with a 10µF bypass capacitor,
the ADC will stabilize after 20ms. If REFBUF is externally
driven, the recovery time can be significantly less.

CNV Timing
The LTC2385-18 conversion is controlled by the CNV+ and
CNV– inputs. CNV+/CNV– can be driven directly with an
LVDS signal. Alternatively, CNV+ can be driven with a 0V
to 2.5V CMOS signal when CNV– is tied to GND. A rising
edge on CNV+ will sample the analog inputs and start a
conversion. The pulse width of CNV+ should meet the
tCNVH and tCNVL specifications in the timing table.

from the same source as VDDL but it should be isolated
by a ferrite bead and have its own 0.1μF bypass capacitor.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
the optional LVDS output DB± is enabled, and data is output two bits at a time on DA± and DB±. Enabling the DB±
output increases the supply current from OVDD by about
3.6mA. In two-lane mode, five clock pulses are required
for CLK± (see Timing Diagrams).
The LVDS signals should be routed on the PC board as
100Ω differential transmission lines and terminated at the
receiver with 100Ω resistors.
A conversion is started by the rising edge of CNV+. When
the conversion is complete, the most-significant data bit
is output on DA±. Data is then ready to be shifted out by
applying a burst of nine clock pulses to the CLK± input.
The data on DA± is updated by every edge of CLK±. An
echoed version of CLK± is output on DCO±. The edges of
DA± and DCO± are aligned, so DCO± can be used to latch
DA± in the FPGA. The timing of a single conversion is
shown in Figure 12.
Output Test Patterns
To allow in-circuit testing of the digital interface to the
ADC, there is a test mode that forces the ADC data outputs
to known values:
One-Lane Mode: 10 1000 0001 1111 1100
Two-Lane Mode:
Data must be clocked out after the current conversion is
complete, and before the next conversion finishes. The valid
time window for clocking out data is shown in Figure 13.
Note that it is allowed to be still clocking out data when
the next conversion begins.
11 0011 0000 1111 1100
The test pattern is enabled when the TESTPAT pin is
brought high.
BOARD LAYOUT
The LTC2385-18 requires a printed circuit board with a
clean unbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an
internal ground plane in the first layer beneath the ADC is
recommended. Layout for the printed circuit board should
ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated as
much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not
Two-Lane Output Mode
At high sample rates the required LVDS interface data rate
can reach >200Mbps. Most FPGAs can support this, but
if a lower data rate is desired, the two-lane output mode
can be used. When the TWOLANES input pin is tied high,

to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track
or underneath the ADC.
High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used
at the VDD, VDDL, OVDD, VCM, REFIN, and REFBUF pins.
Bypass capacitors must be located as close to the pins as
possible. Size 0402 ceramic capacitors are recommended
(except for REFBUF). The traces connecting the pins and
bypass capacitors must be kept short and should be made
as wide as possible.
Of particular importance is the capacitor between REFBUF
and REFGND, which should be a 10μF (X7R, 0805 size)
ceramic capacitor. This capacitor should be on the same
side of the circuit board as the ADC, and as close to the
device as possible. Adding a second, smaller capacitor in
parallel with the 10μF may degrade performance and is
not recommended.
The analog inputs, convert start, and digital outputs should
not be routed next to each other. Ground fill and grounded
vias should be used as barriers to isolate these signals
from each other.
Exposed Package Pad
For good electrical and thermal performance, the exposed
pad on the bottom of the package must be soldered to a
large grounded pad on the PC board. This pad should be
connected to the internal ground planes by an array of vias.
Mechanical Stress Shift
The mechanical stress of mounting a part to a board can
cause subtle changes to the SNR and internal voltage
reference. The best soldering method is to use IR reflow
or convection soldering with a controlled temperature
profile. Hand soldering with a heat gun or a soldering iron
is not recommended.
