The 80dB common mode rejection allows users to eliminate
ground loops and common mode noise by measuring
signals differentially from the source.
The devices convert –1.25V to 1.25V bipolar inputs
differentially. The absolute voltage swing for AIN+ and
AIN– extends from ground to the supply voltage.
Applications
n
The LTC®2356-12/LTC2356-14 are 12-bit/14-bit, 3.5Msps
serial ADCs with differential inputs. The devices draw
only 5.5mA from a single 3.3V supply and come in a
tiny 10-lead MSOP package. A Sleep shutdown feature
further reduces power consumption to 13µW. The combination of speed, low power and tiny package makes the
LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 suitable for high speed, portable
applications.

The serial interface sends out the conversion results during
the 16 clock cycles following a CONV rising edge for compatibility with standard serial interfaces. If two additional
clock cycles for acquisition time are allowed after the data
stream in between conversions, the full sampling rate of
3.5Msps can be achieved with a 63MHz clock.

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 GND.
Note 3: When these pins are taken below GND or above VDD, they will be
clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents greater
than 100mA below GND or greater than VDD without latchup.
Note 4: Offset and full-gain specifications are measured for a single-ended
AIN+ input with AIN– grounded and using the internal 2.5V reference.
Note 5: Integral linearity is tested with an external 2.55V reference and is
defined as the deviation of a code from the straight line passing through
the actual endpoints of a transfer curve. The deviation is measured from
the center of quantization band.
Note 6: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 7: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 8: The analog input range is defined for the voltage difference
between AIN+ and AIN–. Performance is specified with AIN– = 1.5V DC while
driving AIN+.
Note 9: The absolute voltage at AIN+ and AIN– must be within this range.
Note 10: If less than 3ns is allowed, the output data will appear one
clock cycle later. It is best for CONV to rise half a clock before SCK, when
running the clock at rated speed.

Note 11: Not the same as aperture delay. Aperture delay is smaller (1ns)
because the 2.2ns delay through the sample-and-hold is subtracted from
the CONV to Hold mode delay.
Note 12: The rising edge of SCK is guaranteed to catch the data coming
out into a storage latch.
Note 13: The time period for acquiring the input signal is started by the
16th rising clock and it is ended by the rising edge of convert.
Note 14: The internal reference settles in 2ms after it wakes up from Sleep
mode with one or more cycles at SCK and a 10µF capacitive load.
Note 15: The full power bandwidth is the frequency where the output code
swing drops to 3dB with a 2.5VP-P input sine wave.
Note 16: Maximum clock period guarantees analog performance during
conversion. Output data can be read with an arbitrarily long clock.
Note 17: VDD = 3.3V, fSAMPLE = 3.5Msps.
Note 18: The LTC2356-14 is measured and specified with 14-bit resolution
(1LSB = 152µV) and the LTC2356-12 is measured and specified with
12-bit resolution (1LSB = 610µV).
Note 19: The sampling capacitor at each input accounts for 4.1pF of the
input capacitance.

Pin Functions
AIN+ (Pin 1): Noninverting Analog Input. AIN+ operates
fully differentially with respect to AIN– with a –1.25V to
1.25V differential swing with respect to AIN– and a 0V to
VDD common mode swing.
a solid analog ground plane with a 10µF ceramic capacitor
(or 10µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic). Keep in
mind that internal analog currents and digital output signal
currents flow through this pin. Care should be taken to
place the 0.1µF bypass capacitor as close to Pins 6 and
7 as possible.
AIN– (Pin 2): Inverting Analog Input. AIN– operates fully
differentially with respect to AIN+ with a 1.25V to –1.25V
differential swing with respect to AIN+ and a 0V to VDD
common mode swing.
SDO (Pin 8): Three-State Serial Data Output. Each set
of output data words represents the difference between
AIN+ and AIN– analog inputs at the start of the previous
conversion. The output format is 2’s complement.
VREF (Pin 3): 2.5V Internal Reference. Bypass to GND
and to a solid analog ground plane with a 10µF ceramic
capacitor (or 10µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic).
Can be overdriven by an external reference between 2.55V
and VDD.
SCK (Pin 9): External Clock Input. Advances the conversion process and sequences the output data on the rising
edge. Responds to TTL (≤3.3V) and 3.3V CMOS levels.
One or more pulses wake from sleep.
GND (Pins 4, 5, 6, 11): Ground and Exposed Pad. These
ground pins and the exposed pad must be tied directly to
the solid ground plane under the part. Keep in mind that
analog signal currents and digital output signal currents
flow through these pins.
CONV (Pin 10): Convert Start. Holds the analog input signal
and starts the conversion on the rising edge. Responds
to TTL (≤3.3V) and 3.3V CMOS levels. Two CONV pulses
with SCK in fixed high or fixed low state start Nap mode.
Four or more CONV pulses with SCK in fixed high or fixed
low state start Sleep mode.
VDD (Pin 7): 3.3V Positive Supply. This single power pin
supplies 3.3V to the entire device. Bypass to GND and to

LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14
Applications Information
Driving the Analog Input
The differential analog inputs of the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14
may be driven differentially or as a single-ended input (i.e.,
the AIN– input is set to VCM). Both differential analog inputs,
AIN+ and AIN–, are sampled at the same instant. Any
unwanted signal that is common to both inputs of each
input pair will be reduced by the common mode rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit. The inputs draw
only one small current spike while charging the sampleand-hold capacitors at the end of conversion. During
conversion, the analog inputs draw only a small leakage
current. If the source impedance of the driving circuit
is low, then the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 inputs can be
driven directly. As source impedance increases, so will
acquisition time. For minimum acquisition time with
high source impedance, a buffer amplifier must be used.
The main requirement is that the amplifier driving the
analog input(s) must settle after the small current spike
before the next conversion starts (settling time must be
39ns for full throughput rate). Also keep in mind while
choosing an input amplifier the amount of noise and
harmonic distortion added by the amplifier.
Choosing an Input Amplifier
Choosing an input amplifier is easy if a few requirements
are taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude of
the voltage spike seen by the amplifier from charging the
sampling capacitor, choose an amplifier that has a low output
impedance (<100Ω) at the closed-loop bandwidth frequency.
For example, if an amplifier is used with a gain of 1 and has a
unity-gain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the output impedance at
50MHz must be less than 100Ω. The second requirement is
that the closed-loop bandwidth must be greater than 40MHz
to ensure adequate small-signal settling for full throughput
rate. If slower op amps are used, more time for settling can
be provided by increasing the time between conversions.
The best choice for an op amp to drive the LTC2356-12/
LTC2356-14 will depend on the application. Generally, applications fall into two categories: AC applications where
dynamic specifications are most critical and time domain
applications where DC accuracy and settling time are most
critical. The following list is a summary of the op amps that
are suitable for driving the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14. (More

Applications Information
Input Filtering and Source Impedance
The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and
other circuitry must be considered since they will add to
the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 noise and distortion. The
small-signal bandwidth of the sample-and-hold circuit is
50MHz. Any noise or distortion products that are present at the analog inputs will be summed over this entire
bandwidth. Noisy input circuitry should be filtered prior
to the analog inputs to minimize noise. A simple 1-pole
RC filter is sufficient for many applications. For example,
Figure 1 shows a 47pF capacitor from AIN+ to ground and a
51Ω source resistor to limit the input bandwidth to 47MHz.
The 47pF capacitor also acts as a charge reservoir for the
input sample-and-hold and isolates the ADC input from
sampling-glitch sensitive circuitry. High quality capacitors
and resistors should be used since these components
can add distortion. NPO and silvermica 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. When high amplitude unwanted signals are close
in frequency to the desired signal frequency, a multiple
pole filter is required. High external source resistance,
combined with the 13pF of input capacitance, will reduce
the rated 50MHz bandwidth and increase acquisition time
beyond 39ns.

inverting input. The ±1.25V range is also ideally suited for
AC-coupled signals in single supply applications. Figure 2
shows how to AC couple signals in a single supply system
without needing a mid-supply 1.5V external reference. The
DC common mode level is supplied by the previous stage
that is already bounded by the single supply voltage of the
system. The common mode range of the inputs extend
from ground to the supply voltage VDD. If the difference
between the AIN+ and AIN– inputs exceeds 1.25V, the
output code will stay fixed at zero and all ones and if this
difference goes below –1.25V, the output code will stay
fixed at one and all zeros.

Internal Reference
The LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 has an on-chip, temperature
compensated, bandgap reference that is factory trimmed
to 2.5V to obtain a bipolar ±1.25V input span. The reference amplifier output VREF, (Pin 3) must be bypassed
with a capacitor to ground. The reference amplifier is
stable with capacitors of 1µF or greater. For the best noise
performance, a 10µF ceramic or a 10µF tantalum in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic is recommended. The VREF pin
can be overdriven with an external reference as shown in
3.5V TO 18V
Figure 1. RC Input Filter
Input Range
The analog inputs of the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 may be
driven fully differentially with a single supply. Each input
may swing up to 2.5VP-P individually. When using the
internal reference, the non-inverting input should never be
more than 1.25V more positive or more negative than the

Applications Information
Input Span Versus Reference Voltage
The differential input range has a bipolar ± VREF/2
voltage span that equals the difference between the
voltage at the reference buffer output VREF at Pin 3, and
the voltage at the ground (Exposed Pad Ground). The
differential input range of the ADC is ±1.25V when using
the internal reference. The internal ADC is referenced to
these two nodes. This relationship also holds true with
an external reference.
Differential Inputs
The LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 have a unique differential
sample-and-hold circuit that measures input voltages from
ground to VDD. The ADC will always convert the bipolar
difference of AIN+ – AIN–, independent of the common
mode voltage at the inputs. The common mode rejection
holds up at extremely high frequencies, see Figure 4. The
only requirement is that both inputs not go below ground
or exceed VDD. Integral nonlinearity errors (INL) and differential nonlinearity errors (DNL) are largely independent
of the common mode voltage. However, the offset error
will vary. The change in offset error is typically less than
0.1% of the common mode voltage.
Figure 5 shows the ideal input/output characteristics for
the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14. The code transitions occur
midway between successive integer LSB values (i.e.,
0.5LSB, 1.5LSB, 2.5LSB, FS – 1.5LSB). The output code
is straight binary with 1LSB = 2.5V/16384 = 153µV for
the LTC2356-14, and 1LSB = 2.5V/4096 = 610µV for the
LTC2356-12. The LTC2356-14 has 1LSB RMS of random
white noise. Figure 6a shows the LTC1819 converting a
single ended input signal to differential input signals for
optimum THD and SFDR performance as shown in the
FFT plot (Figure 6b).

load of 0.75mA and as much as 3mA during conversion.

Board Layout and Bypassing
Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high resolution and/or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best
performance from the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14, a printed
circuit board with ground plane is required. 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 to run any digital track
alongside an analog signal track. If optimum phase match
between the inputs is desired, the length of the two input
wires should be kept matched.
High quality tantalum and ceramic bypass capacitors
should be used at the VDD and VREF pins as shown in the
Block Diagram on the first page of this data sheet. For
optimum performance, a 10µF surface mount Tantalum
capacitor with a 0.1µF ceramic is recommended for the
VDD and VREF pins. Alternatively, 10µF ceramic chip
capacitors such as Murata GRM219R60J106M may
be used. The capacitors must be located as close to the
pins as possible. The traces connecting the pins and the
bypass capacitors must be kept short and should be made
as wide as possible.
Figure 7 shows the recommended system ground connections. All analog circuitry grounds should be terminated
at the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 GND (Pins 4, 5, 6 and
exposed pad). The ground return from the LTC235612/LTC2356-14 (Pins 4, 5, 6 and exposed pad) to the
power supply should be low impedance for noise free
operation. In applications where the ADC data outputs

OPTIONAL INPUT FILTERING

and control signals are connected to a continuously active microprocessor bus, it is possible to get errors in the
conversion results. These errors are due to feedthrough
from the microprocessor to the successive approximation
comparator. The problem can be eliminated by forcing the
microprocessor into a Wait state during conversion or by
using three-state buffers to isolate the ADC data bus.
Power-Down Modes
Upon power-up, the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 is initialized to the active state and is ready for conversion. The
Nap and Sleep mode waveforms show the power-down
modes for the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14. The SCK and
CONV inputs control the power-down modes (see Timing
Diagrams). Two rising edges at CONV, without any intervening rising edges at SCK, put the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14
in Nap mode and the power consumption drops from
18mW to 4mW. The internal reference remains powered
in Nap mode. One or more rising edges at SCK wake up
the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 very quickly, and CONV
can start an accurate conversion within a clock cycle.
Four rising edges at CONV, without any intervening rising
edges at SCK, put the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 in Sleep
mode and the power consumption drops from 18mW
to 13µW. One or more rising edges at SCK wake up the
LTC2356‑12/LTC2356-14 for operation. The internal reference (VREF ) takes 2ms to slew and settle with a 10µF load.

LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14
Applications Information
Note that, using sleep mode more frequently than every
2ms, compromises the settled accuracy of the internal
reference. Note that, for slower conversion rates, the Nap
and Sleep modes can be used for substantial reductions
in power consumption.
Digital Interface
The LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 has a 3-wire SPI-compatible
(Serial Protocol Interface) interface. The SCK and CONV
inputs and SDO output implement this interface. The SCK
and CONV inputs accept swings from 3.3V logic and are TTL
compatible, if the logic swing does not exceed VDD. A detailed
description of the three serial port signals follows.
Conversion Start Input (CONV)
The rising edge of CONV starts a conversion, but subsequent rising edges at CONV are ignored by the LTC2356‑12/
LTC2356-14 until the following 16 SCK rising edges have
occurred. It is necessary to have a minimum of 16 rising
edges of the clock input SCK between rising edges of
CONV. But to obtain maximum conversion speed (with
a 63MHz SCK), it is necessary to allow two more clock
periods between conversions to allow 39ns of acquisition
time for the internal ADC sample-and-hold circuit. With 16
clock periods per conversion, the maximum conversion
rate is limited to 3.5Msps to allow 39ns for acquisition
time. In either case, the output data stream comes out
within the first 16 clock periods to ensure compatibility
with processor serial ports. The duty cycle of CONV can
be arbitrarily chosen to be used as a frame sync signal for
the processor serial port. A simple approach to generate
CONV is to create a pulse that is one SCK wide to drive the
LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 and then buffer this signal with
the appropriate number of inverters to ensure the correct delay driving the frame sync input of the processor
serial port. It is good practice to drive the LTC2356-12/
LTC2356-14 CONV input first to avoid digital noise interference during the sample-to-hold transition triggered by
CONV at the start of conversion. It is also good practice
to keep the width of the low portion of the CONV signal
greater than 15ns to avoid introducing glitches in the front
end of the ADC just before the sample-and-hold goes into
hold mode at the rising edge of CONV.
Minimizing Jitter on the CONV Input
In high speed applications where high amplitude sine waves
above 100kHz are sampled, the CONV signal must have
as little jitter as possible (10ps or less). The square wave
output of a common crystal clock module usually meets
this requirement . The challenge is to generate a CONV
signal from this crystal clock without jitter corruption from
other digital circuits in the system. A clock divider and
any gates in the signal path from the crystal clock to the
CONV input should not share the same integrated circuit
with other parts of the system. As shown in Figure 8, the
SCK and CONV inputs should be driven first, with digital
buffers used to drive the serial port interface. Also note
that the master clock in the DSP may already be corrupted
with jitter, even if it comes directly from the DSP crystal.
Another problem with high speed processor clocks is that
they often use a low cost, low speed crystal (i.e., 10MHz)
to generate a fast, but jittery, phase-locked-loop system
clock (i.e., 40MHz). The jitter in these PLL-generated high
speed clocks can be several nanoseconds. Note that if
you choose to use the frame sync signal generated by
the DSP port, this signal will have the same jitter of the
DSP’s master clock.
The Typical Application Figure on page 16 shows a circuit for level-shifting and squaring the output from an
RF signal generator or other low-jitter source. A single
D-type flip flop is used to generate the CONV signal to
the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14. Re-timing the master clock
signal eliminates clock jitter introduced by the controlling
device (DSP, FPGA, etc.) Both the inverter and flip flop must
be treated as analog components and should be powered
from a clean analog supply.
Serial Clock Input (SCK)
The rising edge of SCK advances the conversion process
and also udpates each bit in the SDO data stream. After
CONV rises, the third rising edge of SCK starts clocking
out the 12/14 data bits with the MSB sent first. A simple
approach is to generate SCK to drive the LTC2356-12/
LTC2356-14 first and then buffer this signal with the
appropriate number of inverters to drive the serial clock
input of the processor serial port. Use the falling edge of
the clock to latch data from the Serial Data Output (SDO)
2356fa

LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14
Applications Information
into your processor serial port. The 14-bit serial data will
be received right justified, in a 16-bit word with 16 or
more clocks per frame sync. It is good practice to drive
the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 SCK input first to avoid digital noise interference during the internal bit comparison
decision by the internal high speed comparator. Unlike the
CONV input, the SCK input is not sensitive to jitter because
the input signal is already sampled and held constant.
Serial Data Output (SDO)
Upon power-up, the SDO output is automatically reset to
the high impedance state. The SDO output remains in high
impedance until a new conversion is started. SDO sends
out 12/14 bits in 2’s complement format in the output data
stream beginning at the third rising edge of SCK after the
rising edge of CONV. SDO is always in high impedance
mode when it is not sending out data bits. Please note
the delay specification from SCK to a valid SDO. SDO is
always guaranteed to be valid by the next rising edge of
SCK. The 16-bit output data stream is compatible with the
16-bit or 32-bit serial port of most processors.
Loading on the SDO line must be minimized. SDO can
directly drive most fast CMOS logic inputs directly. However, the general purpose I/O pins on many programmable
logic devices (FPGAs, CPLDs) and DSPs have excessive
capacitance. In these cases, a 100Ω resistor in series
with SDO can isolate the input capacitance of the receiving device. If the receiving device has more than 10pF
of input capacitance or is located far from the LTC235612/LTC2356-14, an NC7SVU04P5X inverter can be used
to provide more drive.
