LTC1864
16-Bit 250ksps ADC
Description
Demonstration circuit 416 features the LTC1864 16-bit
250ksps analog-to-digital converter.
is hence much greater than what would be required in
almost any practical application.
This board provides a means to evaluate the performance
of the LTC1864 with either the Linear Technology PScope™
data acquisition system, or with other parallel or serial
data acquisition systems.
The LTC1864 and its demo board are intended to be used
with the PScope data acquisition system for characterization of the ADC in AC applications extending from Hz to
MHz. The full power bandwidth of the LTC1864 is high
enough to produce good performance in under-sampling
applications, as well as applications where the signal
content is below Nyquist.
The board also demonstrates proper layout techniques in
the circuitry surrounding the ADC and in the segmentation of the planes required to achieve full performance
with the ADC.
These techniques include proper grounding of the device
and associated bypass capacitors, placement of the device
relative to interconnection of analog and digital subsystems
and signal routing in proximity to the ADC.
This board performs serial to parallel conversion in a manner that is unlikely to be used in an actual implementation,
but is representative of what could be implemented in an
FPGA. It is expected that with this ADC, the interface will
be performed serially with either programmable logic, a
general-purpose processor, a DSP, or across an isolated
link of one of many types. The complexity of the circuitry
The board contains a bandwidth-limiting filter at the input
of the ADC (C7, C8, C9, R1 and R2), as well as provision
for an amplifier (U2). This bandwidth-limiting filter (–3dB at
1.5MHz) is typical of what may be required for many applications, but it is not necessarily the best for all applications.
The board also incorporates an LTC1799 resistor programmable oscillator as an optional clock source.

quick start procedure
Demonstration circuit 416 is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC1864. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
NOTE: The demo board is shipped with jumpers in place
to allow the use of an external oscillator at 80× the sample
rate. Figure 1 shows the default jumper positions.
1.Connect the parallel output J4 to either the DC718 data
collection board, or to a suitable acquisition system.
Pin 3 of J4 is the data strobe.
2.Observe correct polarity; Connect +8V to +15V to
terminal E1. Note that –15V is only required if U2 is
installed. There are two on board regulators. Both are
5V, although U1 the reference can be substituted with
a lower voltage.

Quick Start Procedure
3.If the intent is to do an evaluation of AC performance,
connect a sinusoidal (or other) input signal to J1, or
J1 and J2, with a nominal DC bias of 2.5V. If only J1 is
used (single-ended operation), JP3 should be installed.
This converter converts unipolar differential inputs from
0 – VREF.
NOTE: The AIN inputs do not have 50Ω termination. Most
generators will produce the correct signal level only if the
cable is terminated at 50Ω. If you are driving this from
a generator, you should use 50Ω through terminators.
Take care not to overdrive the inputs if you do not use
terminators.
4.Connect a 20MHz digital clock to CLKIN. With default
jumpers in place, this will result in a 250ksps conversion rate.
5.Collect data via PScope for a Fourier transform into the
frequency domain, or to allow data to be collected and
saved to a file for subsequent import and analysis in
Excel, Matlab or other analysis packages.
Duplication of the FFT results shown in the data sheet
requires the use of a low jitter clock and waveform generators synchronized such that the input waveform must be
within a few ppm of an exact multiple of the conversion
clock divided by the FFT size (termed coherent). For 250kHz
sample rate and a 4096 point FFT, input frequencies should
be an exact multiple of 61.035156Hz, and preferably a prime
number multiple or at least an odd number multiple. The
use of an even number multiple will exercise a minimal
number of codes, producing poor results.

OPERATION
The conversion clock (CONV) is derived from the CLKIN
connector (J3) via a programmable divider.
The board is shipped with this divider set to divide by 80
(JP8 and JP9). In order for this converter to achieve its
maximum throughput of 250ksps, the data transfer time
must be completed in 1/fSAMPLE – TCONV, which requires
that the SCLK be at 20MHz.
The programmable divider can be strapped for different divide ratios if the required sample rate is less than
250ksps, allowing a greater percentage of the time available doing data transfer (divide ratio of less than 80), or
if a comparable SCLK rate is used, with a lower sample
rate (divide ratio greater than 80).
JP8 and JP9 are set to code 16–(divide ratio/16) or 11 in
the case of a divide ratio of 80.
The counter circuitry gates a sequence of 16 clock pulses
during CONV = 0. These can be observed on CLKOUT, or
if CONV is introduced externally, (remove JP4) the clock
pulses can be introduced via CLKIN (JP6 to pin 1, JP7 to
pin 1 if no inversion is required).
JP6 (pin 2–3) allows the use of the onboard LTC1799
oscillator. Note that this oscillator will not produce data
sheet performance unless the input frequency is quite low,
as the phase jitter of this oscillator will be transformed in
the presence of high slew rate signals into random noise.
If the amplitude of the signal falls off with increasing
frequency as many natural phenomena do, this oscillator
may produce acceptable results.
If you are under-sampling, or operating the converter near
Nyquist, it is important to have a low jitter clock source.
The data output DOUT is shifted into a pair of 74HC595
serial to parallel shift registers that have output holding
registers, and tri-stateable outputs. If you intend to incorporate the demo board into a prototype of a system,
ENABLEDATA can be used to gate the outputs onto a
16-bit bus. Alternatively, all of the signals can be produced
externally, and data can be read into a DSP via DOUT.
If you elect to use the on-board timing to clock data into a
slaved serial input port, you can use DOUT, CKOUT, along
with CONV as a busy signal or as a means of producing
a frame sync.
In the event that you do not have “coherent” signal sources
as described above, you can use windowing functions
to reduce the “leakage” effect that occurs in the Fourier
transform and get a reasonably accurate figure for SNR,
THD, SINAD and the levels of the various harmonics.
