The LTC1411 has four programmable input ranges selected by two digital input pins, PGA0 and PGA1. This
provides input spans of ±1.8V, ±1.27V, ±0.9V and ±0.64V.
An out-of-the-range signal together with the D13 (MSB)
will indicate whether a signal is over or under the ADC’s
input range. A simple conversion start input and a data
ready signal ease connections to FIFOs, DSPs and microprocessors.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to ground with DGND, OGND,
AVM and AGND wired together unless otherwise noted.
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below AGND or above VDD,
they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input
currents greater than 100mA without latchup.
Note 4: When these pin voltages are taken below AGND, they will be
clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents greater
than 100mA below AGND without latchup. These pins are not clamped to
VDD.
Note 5: VDD = 5V, PGA1 = PGA0 = 5V, fSAMPLE = 2.5MHz at 25°C and
t r = t f = 5ns unless otherwise specified.
Note 6: Linearity, offset and full-scale specifications apply for a singleended AIN+ input with AIN– tied to an external 2.5V reference voltage.
ns
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: Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 00 and
1111 1111 1111 11.
Note 9: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 10: The falling CONVST edge starts a conversion. If CONVST returns
high at a critical point during the conversion it can create small errors. For
best performance ensure that CONVST returns high within 20ns after
conversion start of after BUSY rises.
Note 11: SLP and NAP have an internal pull-down so the pins will draw
approximately 7µA when tied high and less than 1µA when tied low.

AIN+ (Pin 1): Positive Analog Input. The ADC converts the
difference voltage between AIN+ and AIN– with programmable input ranges of ±1.8V, ±1.27V, ±0.9V and ±0.64V
depending on PGA selection. AIN+ has common mode
range between 0V and VDD.
AIN– (Pin 2): Negative Analog Input. This pin can be tied
to the REFOUT pin of the ADC or tied to an external DC
voltage. This voltage is also the bipolar zero for the ADC.
AIN– has common mode range between 0V and VDD.
REFOUT (Pin 3): 2.5V Reference Output. Bypass to AGND1
with a 22µF tantalum capacitor if REFOUT is tied to AIN–.
No capacitor is needed if the external reference is used to
drive AIN–.
REFIN (Pin 4): Reference Buffer Input. This pin can be
tied to REFOUT or to an external reference if more
precision is required.
REFCOM1 (Pin 5): Noise Reduction Pin. Put a 10µF
bypass capacitor at this pin to reduce the noise going into
the reference buffer.
REFCOM2 (Pin 6): 4.05V Reference Compensation Pin.
Bypass to AGND1 with a 10µF tantalum capacitor in
parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic.
AGND (Pins 7 to 9): Analog Ground. AGND1 is the ground
for the reference. AGND2 is the ground for the comparator
and AGND3 is the ground for the remaining analog
circuitry.
AVP (Pin 10): 5V Analog Power Supply. Bypass to AGND
with a 10µF tantalum capacitor.
AVM (Pin 11): Analog and Digital Substrate Pin. Tie this
pin to AGND.
D13 to D0 (Pins 12 to 25): Digital Data Outputs. D13 is the
MSB (Most Significant Bit).
OTR (Pin 26): Out-of-the-Range Pin. This pin can be used
in conjunction with D13 to determine if a signal is less than
or greater than the analog input range. If D13 is low and
OTR is high, the analog input to the ADC exceeds the
maximum voltage of the input range.
BUSY (Pin 27): Busy Output. Converter status pin. It is
low during conversion.
OGND (Pin 28): Digital Ground for Output Drivers (Data
Bits, OTR and BUSY).
OVDD (Pin 29): 3V or 5V Digital Power Supply for Output
Drivers (Data Bits, OTR and BUSY). Bypass to OGND with
a 10µF tantalum capacitor.

CONVERSION DETAILS
The LTC1411 uses a successive approximation algorithm
and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an
analog signal to a 14-bit parallel output. The ADC is
complete with a precision reference, internal clock and a
programmable input range. The device is easy to interface
with microprocessors and DSPs. (Please refer to the
Digital Interface section for the data format.)
Conversions are started by a falling edge on the CONVST
input. Once a conversion cycle has begun, it cannot be
restarted. Between conversions, the ADC acquires the
analog input in preparation for the next conversion. In the
acquire phase, a minimum time of 100ns will provide
enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitors to acquire the analog signal.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The LTC1411 has excellent high speed sampling capability. FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) test 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. Figure 2a shows a
typical LTC1411 FFT plot.

During the conversion, the internal differential 14-bit
capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from the
most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit
(LSB). The input is successively compared with the binary
weighted charges supplied by the differential capacitive
DAC. Bit decisions are made by a high speed comparator.
At the end of a conversion, the DAC output balances the
analog input (AIN+ – AIN–). The SAR contents (a 14-bit
data word) which represents the difference of AIN+ and
AIN– are loaded into the 14-bit output latches.
1411 F01
The signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio [S/N + D)] is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency to the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band limited
to frequencies from the above DC and below half the
sampling frequency. Figure 2a shows a typical spectral
content with a 2.5MHz sampling rate and a 100kHz input.
The dynamic performance holds well to higher input
frequencies (see Figure 2b).

Effective Number of Bits
The effective number of bits (ENOBs) is a measurement of
the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to the
S/(N + D) by the equation:
ENOBS = [S/(N + D) – 1.76]/6.02
where S/(N + D) is expressed in dB. At the maximum
sampling rate of 2.5MHz the LTC1411 maintains good
ENOBs up to the Nyquist input frequency of 1.25MHz.

The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral component excluding the input signal and DC. This
value is expressed in dB relative to the RMS value of a fullscale input signal.
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3db for a full-scale input signal.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the S/(N + D) has dropped to 74dB (12 effective bits). The
LTC1411 has been designed to optimize input bandwidth,
allowing the ADC to undersample input signals with frequencies above the converter’s Nyquist frequency. The
noise floor stays very low at high frequencies; S/(N + D)
becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies far beyond Nyquist.
Driving the Analog Input
The differential analog inputs of the LTC1411 are easy to
drive. The inputs may be driven differentially or as a singleended input (i.e., the AIN– input is tied to a fixed DC voltage
such as the REFOUT pin of the LTC1411 or an external
source). Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram for the
analog inputs of the LTC1411. The AIN+ and AIN– are
sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted signal that is
common mode to both inputs 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 sample-and-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 circuits is low, then the LTC1411 inputs can be
driven directly. More acquisition time should be allowed
for a higher impedance source. Figure 5 shows the acquisition time versus source resistance.
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 in 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 smallsignal settling for full throughput rate. If slower op amps
are used, more settling time can be provided by increasing
the time between conversions.
The best choice for an op amp to drive the LTC1411 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 LTC1411. More detailed information is
available in the Linear Technology Databooks and on the

Programmable Input Range
The LTC1411 has two logic input pins (PGA0 and PGA1)
that are used to select one of four analog input ranges.
These input ranges are set by changing the reference
voltage that is applied to the internal DAC of the ADC
(REFCOM2). For the “0dB” setting the internal DAC sees
the full reference voltage of 4V. The analog input range is
0.7V to 4.3V with AIN– = 2.5V. This corresponds to an input
span of ±1.8V with respect to the voltage applied to AIN–
. For the “– 3dB” setting the internal reference is reduced
to 0.707 • 4V = 2.9V. Likewise the input span is reduced
to ±1.28V. The following table lists the input span with
respect to AIN– for the different PGA0 and PGA1 settings.

Internal Reference
The LTC1411 has an on-chip, temperature compensated,
curvature corrected, bandgap reference that is factory
trimmed to 2.500V. If this REFOUT pin is used to drive the
AIN– pin, a 22µF tantalum bypass capacitor is required and
this REFOUT voltage sets the bipolar zero for the ADC.
The REFIN pin is connected to the reference buffer through
a 2k resistor and two PGA switches. The REFIN pin can be
connected to REFOUT directly or to an external reference.
Figure 6 shows the reference and buffer structure for the
LTC1411. The input to the reference buffer is either REFIN
or 1/2 of REFIN depending on the PGA selection. The
REFCOM1 pin bypassed with a 10µF tantalum capacitor
helps reduce the noise going into the buffer. The reference
buffer has a gain of 1.62 or 1.15 (depends on PGA
selection). It is compensated at the REFCOM2 pin with a
10µF tantalum capacitor. The input span of the ADC is set
by the output voltage of this REFCOM2 voltage. For a 2.5V
input at the REFIN pin, the REFCOM2 will have 4V output
for PGA1 = PGA0 = 5V and the ADC will have a span of 3.6V.

When changing from one input span to another, more time
is needed for the REFCOM2 pin to reach the correct level
because the bypass capacitor on the pin needs to be charged
or discharged. Figure 6 shows the recommended capacitors at the REFCOM1 and REFCOM2 pins (10µF each).
When – 6dB or – 9dB is selected, the voltage at REFCOM1
(see Figure 2) must first settle before REFCOM2 reaches
the correct level. The typical delay is about 700ms.
When the REFCOM2 level is changed from 2.9V to 4V
(changing PGA setting from – 3dB to 0dB), the typical delay
is 0.6ms. However, if the voltage at REFCOM2 is changed
from 4V to 2.9V (changing PGA setting from 0dB to – 3dB)
only a 60µA sink current is present to discharge the 10µF
bypass capacitor. In this case, the delay will be 11ms.

Digital Interface
The ADC has a very simple digital interface with only one
control input, CONVST. A logic low applied to the CONVST
input will initiate a conversion. The ADC presents digital
data in 2’s complement format with bipolar zero set by the
voltage applied to the AIN– pin.
Internal Clock
The internal clock is factory trimmed to achieve a typical
conversion time of 260ns. With the typical acquisition
time of 100ns, a throughput sampling rate of 2.5Msps is
guaranteed.
Out-of-the-Range Signal (OTR)
The LTC1411 has a digital output, OTR, that indicates if an
analog input signal is out of range. The OTR remains
low when the analog input is within the specified range.
Once the analog signal goes to the most negative input
(1000 0000 0000 00) or 64LSB above the specified most
positive input, OTR will go high. By NORing D13 (MSB)
and its complement with OTR, overrange and underrange
can be detected as shown in Figure 8. Table 2 is the truth
table of the out-of-the-range circuit in Figure 8.
Power Shutdown (Sleep and Nap Modes)

Figure 9. NAP to CONVST Wake-Up Timing
By driving the SLP pin low for Sleep mode, the ADC shuts
down to less than 1µA. After release from the Sleep mode,
the ADC needs 210ms (10µF bypass capacitor on the
REFCOM2 pin) to wake up.
In Nap mode, all the power is off except the internal reference which is still active for the other external circuitry. In
this mode the ADC draws about 2mA instead of 39mA (for
minimum power, the logic inputs must be within 600mV
from the supply rails). The wake-up time from Nap mode
to active state is 250ns as shown in Figure 9.
Board Layout and Bypassing
Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high resolution or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best
performance from the LTC1411, a printed circuit board
with a ground plane is required. Layout for the printed
circuit board should ensure that the 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.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
3V Input/Output Compatible
An analog ground plane separate from the logic system
ground should be established under and around the ADC.
AGND1, 2, 3 (Pins 7 to 9), AVM (Pin 11), DGND (Pin 31)
and OGND (Pin 28) and all other analog grounds should
be connected to a single analog ground point. The REFOUT,
REFCOM1, REFCOM2 and AVP should bypass to this
analog ground plane (see Figure 10). No other digital
grounds should be connected to this analog ground
plane. Low impedance analog and digital power supply
common returns are essential to low noise operation of
the ADC and the foil width for these tracks should be as
wide as possible.
The LTC1411 operates on a 5V supply, which makes the
device easy to interface to 5V digital systems. This device
can also talk to 3V digital systems: the digital input pins
(CONVST, NAP and SLP) of the LTC1411 recognize 3V or
5V inputs. The LTC1411 has a dedicated output supply pin
(OVDD) that controls the output swings of the digital
output pins (D0 to D13, BUSY and OTR) and allows the
part to talk to either 3V or 5V digital systems. The output
is two’s complement binary.
Figure 12 is the input/output characteristics of the ADC
when AIN– = 2.5V. 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 scaled
such that 1LSB = FS/16384 = 3.6V/16384 = 219.7µV.
Timing and Control
Conversion start is controlled by the CONVST digital input.
The falling edge transition of the CONVST will start a
conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted until the
conversion is complete. Converter status is indicated by
the BUSY output. BUSY is low during a conversion.
Offset and Full-Scale Adjustment
In applications where absolute accuracy is important,
offset and full-scale errors can be adjusted to zero. Offset
error must be adjusted before full-scale error. Figure 13
shows the extra components required for full-scale error
adjustment. Zero offset is achieved by adjusting the
offset applied to the AIN– input. For zero offset error,
apply 2.49989V (i.e., – 0.5LSB) at AIN+ and adjust R2 at
the AIN– input until the output code flickers between 0000
0000 0000 00 and 1111 1111 1111 11. For full-scale
adjustment, an input voltage of 4.29967V (FS – 1.5LSBs)
is applied to AIN+ and R5 is adjusted until the output code
flickers between 0111 1111 1111 10 and 0111 1111
1111 11.
The digital output code is updated at the end of conversion
about 7ns after BUSY rises, i.e., output data is not valid on
the rising edge of BUSY. Valid data can be latched with the
falling edge of BUSY or with the rising edge of CONVST. In
either case, the data latched will be for the previous
conversion results. Figures 11a and 11b are the timing
diagrams for the LTC1411.
