The LTC1283 is a 3V data acquisition component which
contains a serial I/O successive approximation A/D converter. It uses LTCMOSTM switched capacitor technology
to perform either 10-bit unipolar, or 9-bit plus sign bipolar
A/D conversions. The 8-channel input multiplexer can be
configured for either single-ended or differential inputs (or
combinations thereof). An on-chip sample-and-hold is
included for all single-ended input channels.
The serial I/O is designed to be compatible with industrystandard full-duplex serial interfaces. It allows either MSBor LSB-first data and automatically provides 2’s complement output coding in the bipolar mode. The output data
word can be programmed for a length of 8-, 10-, 12-, or
16-bit. This allows easy interface to shift registers and a
variety of processors.
Both the LTC1283A and LTC1283 are specified with offset
and linearity errors less than ±0.5LSB. The LTC1283A has
a gain error limit of ±1LSB. The 1283 is specified with a
gain error limit of ±2LSB for applications where gain is
adjustable or less critcial.

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 with DGND, AGND
and REF – wired together (unless otherwise noted).
Note 3: VCC = 3V, VREF+ = 2.5V, VREF– = 0V, V – = 0V for unipolar mode
and – 3V for bipolar mode, ACLK = 1MHz, SCLK = 0.25MHz unless
otherwise specified.
Note 4: These specifications apply for both unipolar and bipolar modes. In
bipolar mode, one LSB is equal to the bipolar input span (2VREF) divided
by 1024. For example, when VREF = 2.5V, 1LSB (bipolar) = 2(2.5V)/1024 =
4.88mV.
Note 5: Linearity error is the deviation from ideal of the slope between the
two end points of the transfer curve.

Note 6: Two on-chip diodes are tied to each reference and analog input
which will conduct for reference or analog input voltages one diode drop
below V – or one diode drop above VCC. Be careful during testing at low
VCC levels, as high level reference or analog inputs can cause this input
diode to conduct, especially at elevated temperatures, and cause errors for
inputs near full scale. This spec allows 50mV forward bias of either diode.
This means that as long as the reference or analog input does not exceed
the supply voltage by more than 50mV, the output code will be correct.
Note 7: Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
Note 8: To minimize errors caused by noise at the chip select input, the
internal circuitry waits for two ACLK falling edges after a chip select falling
edge is detected before responding to control input signals. Therefore, no
attempt should be made to clock an address in or data out until the
minimum chip select setup time has elapsed.

The analog inputs must be free of noise with respect to AGND.
The common pin defines the zero reference point for all single-ended inputs. It must be
free of noise and is usually tied to the analog ground plane.
This is the ground for the internal logic. Tie to the ground plane.
AGND should be tied directly to the analog ground plane.
Tie V – to most negative potential in the circuit. (Ground in single supply applications.)
The reference inputs must be kept free of noise with respect to AGND.
A logic low on this input enables data transfer.
The A/D conversion result is shifted out of this output.
The A/D configuration word is shifted into this input.
This clock synchronizes the serial data transfer.
This clock controls the A/D conversion process.
This supply must be kept free of noise and ripple by bypassing directly to the analog
ground plane.

The LTC1283 is a 3V data acquisition component which
contains the following functional blocks:
previous conversion is output on the DOUT line. At the end
of the data exchange the requested conversion begins
and CS should be brought high. After tCONV, the conversion is complete and the results will be available on the
next data transfer cycle. As shown below, the result of
a conversion is delayed by one CS cycle from the input
word requesting it.

1. Serial Interface
2. Input Data Word
The LTC1283 communicates with microprocessors and
other external circuitry via a synchronous, full duplex, 4wire serial interface (see Operating Sequence). The shift
clock (SCLK) synchronizes the data transfer with each bit
being transmitted on the falling SCLK edge and captured
on the rising SCLK edge in both transmitting and receiving
systems. The data is transmitted and received simultaneously (full duplex).
The LTC1283 8-bit input data word is clocked into the DIN
input on the first eight rising SCLK edges after chip select
is recognized. Further inputs on the DIN pin are then
ignored until the next CS cycle. The eight bits of the input
word are defined as follows:
UNIPOLAR/
BIPOLAR
DATA INPUT (DIN) WORD:
Data transfer is initiated by a falling chip select (CS) signal.
After the falling CS is recognized, an 8-bit input word is
shifted into the DIN input which configures the LTC1283
for the next conversion. Simultaneously, the result of the

configuration for the requested conversion. For a given
channel selection, the converter will measure the voltage
between the two channels indicted by the + and – signs in
the selected row of Table 1. Note that in differential mode
(SGL/DIFF = 0) measurements are limited to four adjacent
input pairs with either polarity. In single-ended mode, all
input channels are measured with respect to COM. Figure
1 shows some examples of multiplexer assignments.

MSB-First/LSB-First Format (MSBF)
The output data of the LTC1283 is programmed for MSBfirst or LSB-first sequence using the MSBF bit. For MSBfirst output data the input word clocked to the LTC1283
should always contain a logical one in the sixth bit location
(MSBF bit). Likewise for LSB-first output data, the input
word clocked to the LTC1283 should always contain a zero
in the MSBF bit location. The MSBF bit in a given DIN word
will control the order of the next DOUT word. The MSBF bit
affects only the order of the output data word. The order
of the input word is unaffected by this bit.
1 ACLK cycle. After a change of state on the CS input, the
LTC1283 waits for two falling edges of the ACLK before
recognizing a valid chip select. One indication of CS low
recognition is the DOUT line becoming active (leaving the
Hi-Z state). Note that the deglitching applies to both the
rising and falling CS edges.

Word Length (WL1, WL0)
The last two bits of the input word (WL1 and WL0)
program the output data word length of the LTC1283.
Word lengths of 8-, 10-, 12- or 16-bit can be selected
according to the following table. The WL1 and WL0 bits in
a given DIN word control the length of the present, not the
next, DOUT word. WL1 and WL2 are never “don’t cares”
and must be set for the correct DOUT word length even
when a “dummy” DIN word is sent. On any transfer cycle,
the word length should be made equal to the number of
SCLK cycles sent by the MPU.

3. Deglitcher

4. CS Low During Conversion
In the normal mode of operation, CS is brought high
during the conversion time (see Figure 3). The serial port
ignores any SCLK activity while CS is high. The LTC1283
will also operate with CS low during the conversion. In this
mode, SCLK must remain low during the conversion as
shown in Figure 4. After the conversion is complete, the
DOUT line will become active with the first output bit. Then
the data transfer can begin as normal.
5. Microprocessor Interfaces
The LTC1283 can interface directly (without external hardware) to most popular microprocessor (MPU) synchronous serial formats (see Table 2). If an MPU without a
serial interface is used, then four of the MPU’s parallel port
lines can be programmed to form the serial link to the
LTC1283. Included here are three serial interface examples and one example showing a parallel port programmed to form the serial interface.

Serial Port Microprocessors
Most synchronous serial formats contain a shift clock
(SCLK) and two data lines, one for transmitting and one for
receiving. In most cases data bits are transmitted on the
falling edge of the clock (SCLK) and captured on the rising
edge. However, serial port formats vary among MPU
manufacturers as to the smallest number of bits that can
be sent in one group (e.g., 4-bit, 8-bit or 16-bit transfers).
They also vary as to the order in which the bits are
transmitted (LSB- or MSB-first). The following examples
show how the LTC1283 accommodates these differences.
National MICROWIRE (COP820C)
*Contact factory for interface information for processors not on this list
†
MICROWIRE/PLUS is a trademark of National Semiconductor Corp.
The COP820C transfers data MSB-first and in 8-bit increments. This is easily accommodated by setting the LTC1283
to MSB-first format and 10-bit word length. The data
output word is then received by the COP820C in one 8-bit
block and one 2-bit block.

Parallel Port Microprocessors
Signetics 83CL410
When interfacing the LTC1283 to an MPU which has a
parallel port, the serial signals are created on the port with
software. Three MPU port lines are programmed to create
the CS, SCLK and DIN signals for the LTC1283. A fourth
port line reads the DOUT line. An example is made of the
Signetics 83CL410.
To interface to the 83CL410, (a 3V version of the 80C51)
the LTC1283 is programmed for MSB-first format and 10bit word length. The 83CL410 generates CS, SCLK and DIN
on three port lines and reads DOUT on the fourth.

6. Sharing the Serial Interface
The LTC1283 can share the same 3-wire serial interface
with other peripheral components or other LTC1283s (see
Figure 5). In this case, the CS signals decide which
LTC1283 is being addressed by the MPU.
ANALOG CONSIDERATIONS
1. Grounding
The LTC1283 should be used with an analog ground plane
and single point grounding techniques.
Pin 11 (AGND) should be tied directly to this ground plane.
Pin 10 (DGND) can also be tied directly to this ground
plane because minimal digital noise is generated within
the chip itself.
Pin 20 (VCC) should be bypassed to the ground plane with
a 4.7μF tantalum with leads as short as possible. Pin 12

single supply applications, V – can be tied to the ground

It is also recommended that pin 13 (REF –) and pin 9 (COM)
be tied directly to the ground plane. All analog inputs
should be referenced directly to the single point ground.
Digital inputs and outputs should be shielded from and/or
routed away from the reference and analog circuitry.
Figure 6 shows an example of an ideal ground plane design
for a two-sided board. Of course this much ground plane
will not always be possible, but users should strive to get
as close to this ideal as possible.
2. Bypassing
For good performance, VCC must be free of noise and
ripple. Any changes in the VCC voltage with respect to
analog ground during a conversion cycle can induce errors

kept below 1mV by bypassing the VCC pin directly to the
analog ground plane with a 4.7μF tantalum with leads as
short as possible. Figures 7 and 8 show the effects of good
and poor VCC bypassing.

3. Analog Inputs
Because of the capacitive redistribution A/D conversion
techniques used, the analog inputs of the LTC1283 have
capacitive switching input current spikes. These current
spikes settle quickly and do not cause a problem.
However, if large source resistances are used or if slow
settling op amps drive the inputs, care must be taken to
insure that the transients caused by the current spikes
settle completely before the conversion begins.
Source Resistance
The analog inputs of the LTC1283 look like 65pF capacitor
(CIN) in series with a 500Ω resistor (RON) as shown in
Figure 9. CIN gets switched between the selected “+” and
“–” inputs once during each conversion cycle. Large
external source resistors and capacitances will slow the
settling of the inputs. It is important that the overall RC
time constants be short enough to allow the analog inputs
to completely settle within the allowed time.

This input capacitor is switched onto the “+” input during
the sample phase (tSMPL, see Figure 10). The sample
phase starts at the 4th SCLK cycle and lasts until the falling
edge of the last SCLK (the 8th, 10th, 12th or 16th SCLK
cycle depending on the selected word length). The voltage
on the “+” input must settle completely within this sample
time. Minimizing RSOURCE+ and C1 will improve the input
settling time. If large “+” input source resistance must be
used, the sample time can be increased by using a slower
SCLK frequency or selecting a longer word length. With
the minimum possible sample time of 8μs, RSOURCE+ < 2k
and C1 < 20pF will provide adequate settling.
When driving the analog inputs with an op amp it is
important that the op amp settle within the allowed time
(see Figure 10). Again, the “+” and “–” input sampling
times can be extended as described above to accommodate slower op amps. Most op amps including the LT1006
and LT1013 single supply op amps can be made to settle
well even with the minimum settling windows of 8μs (“+”
input) and 4μs (“–” input) which occur at the maximum
clock rates (ACLK = 1MHz and SCLK = 0.5MHz). Figures 11
and 12 show examples of adequate and poor op amp
settling.
At the end of the sample phase the input capacitor switches
to the “–” input and the conversion starts (see Figure 10).
During the conversion, the “+” input voltage is effectively
“held” by the sample-and-hold and will not affect the
conversion result. However, it is critical that the “–” input
voltage be free of noise and settle completely during the
first four ACLK cycles of the conversion time. Minimizing
RSOURCE– and C2 will improve settling time. If large “–”
input source resistance must be used, the time allowed for
settling can be extended by using a slower ACLK frequency. At the maximum ACLK rate of 1MHz, RSOURCE–
< 1k and C2 < 20pF will provide adequate settling.

leakage specification of 1μA (at 125°C) flowing through a
source resistance of 1k will cause a voltage drop of 1mV
or 0.4LSB. This error will be much reduced at lower
temperatures because leakage drops rapidly (see typical
curve of Input Channel Leakage Current vs Temperature).
Noise Coupling into Inputs
HORIZONTAL: 1μs/DIV
Figure 12. Poor Op Amp Settling Can Cause A/D Errors
RC Input Filtering
It is possible to filter the inputs with an RC network as
shown in Figure 13. For large values of CF (e.g., 1μF), the
capacitive input switching currents are averaged into a net
DC current. Therefore, a filter should be chosen with small
resistor and large capacitor to prevent DC drops across
the resistor. The magnitude of the DC current is approximately IDC = 65pF × VIN /tCYC and is roughly proportional
to VIN. When running at the minimum cycle time of 68μs,
the input current equals 2.5μA at VIN = 2.5V. In this case,
a filter resistor of 100Ω will cause 0.1LSB of full-scale
error. If a larger filter resistor must be used, errors can be
eliminated by increasing the cycle time as shown in the
typical curve Maximum Filter Resistor vs Cycle Time.

High source resistance input signals (>500Ω) are more
sensitive to coupling from external sources. It is preferable to use channels near the center of the package (i.e.,
CH2-CH7) for signals which have the highest output
resistance because they are essentially shielded by the
pins of the package ends (DGND and CH0). Grounding any
unused inputs (especially the end pin, CH0) will also
reduce outside coupling into high source resistances.
4. Sample-and-Hold
Single-Ended Inputs
The LTC1283 provides a built-in sample-and-hold (S&H)
function for all signals acquired in the single-ended mode
(COM pin grounded). This sample-and-hold allows the
LTC1283 to convert rapidly varying signals (see typical
curve of S&H Acquisition Time vs Source Resistance). The
input voltage is sampled during the tSMPL time as shown
in Figure 10. The sampling interval begins after the fourth
MUX address bit is shifted in and continues during the
remainder of the data transfer. On the falling edge of the
final SCLK, the S&H goes into hold mode and the conversion begins. The voltage will be held on either the 8th,
10th, 12th or 16th falling edge of the SCLK depending on
the word length selected.

With differential inputs, or when the COM pin is not tied to
ground, the A/D no longer converts just a single voltage
but rather the difference between two voltages. In these
cases, the voltage on the selected “+” input is still sampled
and held and therefore may be rapidly time varying just as
in single-ended mode. However, the voltage on the selected “–” input must remain constant and be free of noise
and ripple throughout the conversion time. Otherwise, the

VERROR (MAX) = VPEAK × 2 × π × f(“–”) × 44/fACLK
Where f(“–”) is the frequency of the “–” input voltage,
VPEAK is its peak amplitude and fACLK is the frequency of
the ACLK. In most cases VERROR will not be significant. For
a 60Hz signal on the “–” input to generate a 1/4LSB error
(0.61mV) with the converter running at ACLK = 1MHz, its
peak value would have to be 38mV.
5. Reference Inputs
The voltage between the reference inputs of the LTC1283
defines the voltage span of the A/D converter. The reference inputs look primarily like a 10k resistor but will have
transient capacitive switching currents due to the switchedcapacitor conversion technique (see Figure 14). During
each bit test of the conversion (every 4 ACLK cycles), a
capacitive current spike will be generated on the reference
pins by the A/D. These current spikes settle quickly and do
not cause a problem. However, if slow settling circuitry is
used to drive the reference inputs, care must be taken to
insure that transients caused by these current spikes settle
completely during each bit test of the conversion.

and 16 show examples of both adequate and poor
settling. Using a slower ACLK will allow more time for
the reference to settle. However, even at the maximum
ACLK rate of 1MHz most references and op amps can
be made to settle within the 4μs bit time.
3. It is recommended that the REF – input be tied directly
to the analog ground plane. If REF – is biased at a
voltage other than ground, the voltage must not change
during a conversion cycle. This voltage must also be
free of noise and ripple with respect to analog ground.

The conversion time is 44 ACLK cycles. Therefore, a
change in the “–” input voltage during this interval can
cause conversion errors. For a sinusoidal voltage on the
“–” input this error would be:

Figure 14. Reference Input Equivalent Circuit
When driving the reference inputs, three things should be
kept in mind:
1. The source resistance (ROUT) driving the reference
inputs should be low (less than 1Ω) to prevent DC drops
caused by the 300μA maximum reference current (IREF).
2. Transients on the reference inputs caused by the
capacitive switching currents must settle completely
during each bit test (each 4 ACLK cycles). Figures 15
HORIZONTAL: 1μs/DIV

6. Reduced Reference Operation
The effective resolution to the LTC1283 can be increased by
reducing the input span of the converter. The LTC1283
exhibits good linearity and gain over a wide range of
reference voltages (see typical curves of Linearity and Gain
Error vs Reference Voltage). However, care must be taken
1283fb
20
LTC1283
U
W
U
UO
APPLICATI
S I FOR ATIO
when operating at low values of VREF because of the
reduced LSB step size and the resulting higher accuracy
requirement placed on the converter. The following factors
must be considered when operating at low VREF values.
1. Conversion speed (ACLK frequency)
2. Offset
3. Noise
Conversion Speed with Reduced VREF
With reduced reference voltages, the LSB step size is
reduced and the LTC1283 internal comparator overdrive
is reduced. With less overdrive, more time is required to
perform a conversion. Therefore, the maximum ACLK
frequency should be reduced when low values of V REF are
used. This is shown in the typical curve of Maximum
Conversion Clock Rate vs Reference Voltage.
Offset with Reduced VREF
The offset of the LTC1283 has a larger effect on the output
code when the A/D is operated with reduced reference
voltage. The offset (which is typically a fixed voltage)
becomes a larger fraction of an LSB as the size of the LSB
is reduced. The typical curve of Unadjusted Offset Error vs
Reference Voltage shows how offset in LSBs is related to
reference voltage for a typical value of VOS. For example,
a VOS of 0.5mV which is 0.2LSB with a 2.5V reference
becomes 0.5LSB with a 1V reference and 2.5LSBs with a
0.2V reference. If this offset is unacceptable, it can be
corrected digitally by the receiving system or by offsetting
the “–” input to the LTC1283.
Noise with Reduced VREF
The total input referred noise of the LTC1283 can be
reduced to approximately 200μV peak-to-peak using a
ground plane, good bypassing, good layout techniques
and minimizing noise on the reference inputs. This noise
is insignificant with a 2.5V reference but will become a
larger fraction of an LSB as the size of the LSB is reduced.
The typical curve of Noise Error vs Reference Voltage
shows the LSB contribution of this 200μV of noise.
For operation with a 2.5V reference, the 200μV noise is
only 0.08LSB peak-to-peak. In this case, the LTC1283
noise will contribute virtually no uncertainty to the output
code. However, for reduced references, the noise may
become a significant fraction of an LSB and cause undesirable jitter in the output code. For example, with a 1V
reference, this same 200μV noise is 0.2LSB peak-topeak. This will reduce the range of input voltages over
which a stable output code can be achieved by 0.2LSB. If
the reference is further reduced to 200mV, the 200μV
noise becomes equal to one LSB and a stable code may
be difficult to achieve. In this case averaging readings
may be necessary.
This noise data was taken in a very clean setup. Any setup
induced noise (noise or ripple on VCC, VREF, VIN or V –) will
add to the internal noise. The lower the reference voltage
to be used, the more critical it becomes to have a clean,
noise-free setup.
A “Quick Look” Circuit for the LTC1283
Users can get a quick look at the function and timing of the
LTC1283 by using the following simple circuit. REF + and
DIN are tied to VCC selecting a 3V input span, CH7 as a
single-ended input, unipolar mode, MSB-first format and
16-bit word length. ACLK and SCLK are tied together and
driven by an external clock. CS is driven at 1/64 the clock
rate by the CD4520 and DOUT outputs the data. All other
pins are tied to a ground plane. The output data from the
DOUT pin can be viewed on an oscilloscope which is set up
to trigger on the falling edge of CS.
