This ADC includes an internal reference and a fully differential sample-and-hold circuit to reduce common-mode noise. The internal conversion clock allows the external serial output data clock (SCK) to operate at any frequency up to 40MHz. The LTC2308 operates from a single 5V supply and draws just 3.5mA at a sample rate of 500ksps. The auto-shutdown feature reduces the supply current to 200μA at a sample rate of 1ksps. The LTC2308 is packaged in a small 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN. The internal 2.5V reference and 8-channel multiplexer further reduce PCB board space requirements. The low power consumption and small size make the LTC2308 ideal for battery operated and portable applications, while the 4-wire SPI compatible serial interface makes this ADC a good match for isolated or remote data acquisition systems. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

The LTC2308 includes a precision internal reference, a configurable 8-channel analog input multiplexer (MUX) and an SPI-compatible serial port for easy data transfers. The ADC may be configured to accept single-ended or differential signals and can operate in either unipolar or bipolar mode. A sleep mode option is also provided to save power during inactive periods. Conversions are initiated by a rising edge on the CONVST input. Once a conversion cycle has begun, it cannot be restarted. Between conversions, a 6-bit input word (DIN) at the SDI input configures the MUX and programs various modes of operation. As the DIN bits are shifted in, data from the previous conversion is shifted out on SDO. After the 6 bits of the DIN word have been shifted in, the ADC begins acquiring the analog input in preparation for the next conversion as the rest of the data is shifted out. The acquire phase requires a minimum time of 240ns for the sample-and-hold capacitors to acquire the analog input signal. During the conversion, the internal 12-bit capacitive charge-redistribution DAC output is sequenced through a successive approximation algorithm by the SAR starting from the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). The sampled input is successively compared with binary weighted charges supplied by the capacitive DAC using a differential comparator. At the end of a conversion, the DAC output balances the analog input. The SAR contents (a 12-bit data word) that represent the sampled analog input are loaded into 12 output latches that allow the data to be shifted out. Programming the LTC2308 The various modes of operation of the LTC2308 are programmed by a 6-bit DIN word. The SDI data bits are loaded on the rising edge of SCK, with the S/D bit loaded on the first rising edge and the SLP bit on the sixth rising edge (see Figure 8 in the Timing and Control section). The input data word is defined as follows: S/D O/S S1 S0 UNI SLP S/D = SINGLE-ENDED/DIFFERENTIAL BIT O/S = ODD/SIGN BIT S1 = ADDRESS SELECT BIT 1 S0 = ADDRESS SELECT BIT 0 UNI = UNIPOLAR/BIPOLAR BIT SLP = SLEEP MODE BIT 2308f 11 LTC2308 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Analog Input Multiplexer 8 Single-Ended 4 Differential The analog input MUX is programmed by the S/D, O/S, S1 and S0 bits of the DIN word. Table 1 lists the MUX configurations for all combinations of the configuration bits. Figure 1a shows several possible MUX configurations and Figure 1b shows how the MUX can be reconfigured from one conversion to the next. + (–) – (+) { + (–) – (+) { CH0 CH1 + (–) – (+) { + (–) – (+) { CH4 CH5 + + + + + + + + CH2 CH3 CH0 CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 CH6 CH7 CH6 CH7 COM (–) Driving the Analog Inputs Combinations of Differential and Single-Ended The analog inputs of the LTC2308 are easy to drive. Each of the analog inputs can be used as a single-ended input relative to the COM pin (CH0-COM, CH1-COM, etc.) or in differential input pairs (CH0 and CH1, CH2 and CH3, CH4 and CH5, CH6 and CH7). Figure 2 shows how to drive COM for single-ended inputs in unipolar and bipolar modes. Regardless of the MUX configuration, the “+” and “–“ inputs are sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted signal that is common 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 during the acquire mode. In conversion mode, the analog inputs draw only a small leakage current.

Otherwise, more acquisition time should be allowed for a source with higher impedance. Input Filtering The noise and distortion of the input amplifier and other circuitry must be considered since they will add to the ADC noise and distortion. Therefore, 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. The analog inputs of the LTC2308 can be modeled as a 55pF capacitor (CIN) in series with a 100Ω resistor (RON) as shown in Figure 3a. CIN gets switched to the selected input once during each conversion. Large filter RC time constants 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 to 12-bit resolution within the acquisition time (tACQ) if DC accuracy is important. When using a filter with a large CFILTER value (e.g. 1μF), the inputs do not completely settle and the capacitive input switching currents are averaged into a net DC current (IDC). In this case, the analog input can be modeled by an equivalent resistance (REQ = 1/(fSMPL • CIN)) in series with an ideal voltage source (VREFCOMP/2) as shown in Figure 3b. The magnitude of the DC current is then approximately IDC = (VIN - VREFCOMP/2)/REQ, which is roughly proportional to VIN. To prevent large DC drops across the resistor RFILTER, a filter with a small resistor and large capacitor should be chosen. When running at the minimum cycle time of 2μs, the input current equals 106μA at VIN = 5V, which amounts to a full-scale error of 0.5LSBs when using a filter resistor (RFILTER) of 4.7Ω. Applications requiring lower sample rates can tolerate a larger filter resistor for the same amount of full-scale error. Figures 4a and 4b show respective examples of input filtering for single-ended and differential inputs. For the single-ended case in Figure 4a, a 50Ω source resistor and a 2000pF capacitor to ground on the input will limit the input bandwidth to 1.6MHz. High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in the RC filter since these components can add distortion. NPO and silver mica 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.

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. Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD) The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) 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 above DC and below half the sampling frequency. Figure 5 shows a typical SINAD of 73.3dB with a 500kHz sampling rate and a 1kHz input. A SNR of 73.4dB can be achieved with the LTC2308. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 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: THD = 20 log V22 + V32 + V42... + VN2 V1 Internal Reference The LTC2308 has an on-chip, temperature compensated bandgap reference that is factory trimmed to 2.5V (Refer to Figure 6a). It is internally connected to a reference amplifier and is available at VREF (Pin 7). VREF should be bypassed to GND with a 2.2μF tantalum capacitor for stability and to minimize noise. An 8k resistor is in series with the output so that it can be easily overdriven by an external reference if more accuracy and/or lower drift are required as shown in Figure 6b. The reference amplifier gains the VREF voltage by 1.638 to 4.096V at REFCOMP (Pin 8). To compensate the reference amplifier, bypass REFCOMP with a 10μF ceramic or tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor for best noise performance. Internal Conversion Clock The internal conversion clock is factory trimmed to achieve a typical conversion time (tCONV) of 1.3μs and a maximum conversion time of 1.6μs over the full operating temperature range. With a typical acquisition time of 240ns, a throughput sampling rate of 500ksps is tested and guaranteed.

The rising edge of CONVST initiates a conversion. After the conversion is finished, pull CONVST low to enable the serial output (SDO). The ADC shifts out the digital data in 2’s complement format when operating in bipolar mode or in straight binary format when in unipolar mode, based on the setting of the UNI bit. For best performance, ensure that CONVST returns low within 40ns after the conversion starts (i.e., before the first bit decision) or after the conversion ends. If CONVST is low when the conversion ends, the MSB bit will appear at SDO at the end of the conversion and the ADC will remain powered up. Timing and Control The start of a conversion is triggered by a rising edge at CONVST. Once initiated, a new conversion cannot be restarted until the current conversion is complete. Figures 8 and 9 show the timing diagrams for two different examples of CONVST pulses. Example 1 (Figure 8) shows CONVST staying HIGH after the conversion ends. If CONVST is high R1 8k VREF 2.5V 2.2μF When CONVST returns low, the ADC wakes up and the most significant bit (MSB) of the output data sequence at SDO becomes valid after the serial data bus is enabled. All other data bits from SDO transition on the falling edge of each SCK pulse. Configuration data (DIN) is loaded into the LTC2308 at SDI, starting with the first SCK rising edge after CONVST returns low. The S/D bit is loaded on the first SCK rising edge. Example 2 (Figure 9) shows CONVST returning low before the conversion ends. In this mode, the ADC and all internal circuitry remain powered up. When the conversion is complete, the MSB of the output data sequence at SDO becomes valid after the data bus is enabled. At this point(tCONV 1.3μs after the rising edge of CONVST), pulsing SCK will shift data out at SDO and load configuration data (DIN) into the LTC2308 at SDI. The first SCK rising edge loads the S/D bit into the LTC2308. SDO transitions on the falling edge of each SCK pulse. 5V BANDGAP REFERENCE 0.1MF REFCOMP 4.096V after the tCONV period, the LTC2308 enters NAP or SLEEP mode, depending on the setting of SLP bit from the DIN word that was shifted in after the previous conversion. (see Nap Mode and Sleep Mode for more detail). VIN LT1790A-2.5 VOUT REFERENCE AMP 2.2μF VREF LTC2308 10μF R2 + 0.1μF GND R3 LTC2308 2308 F06a Figure 6a.

Using the LT1790A-2.5 as an External Reference 2308f 15 LTC2308 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Figures 8 and 9 are the transfer characteristics for the bipolar and unipolar modes. Data is output at SDO in 2’s complement format for bipolar readings and in straight binary for unipolar readings. Nap Mode The ADC enters nap mode when CONVST is held high after the conversion is complete (tCONV) if the SLP bit is set to a logic 0. The supply current decreases to 180μA in nap mode between conversions, thereby reducing the average power dissipation as the sample rate decreases. For example, the LTC2308 draws an average of 200μA with a 1ksps sampling rate. The LTC2308 keeps only the reference(VREF) and reference buffer(REFCOMP) circuitry active when in nap mode. Board Layout and Bypassing To obtain the best performance, a printed circuit board with a solid ground plane is required. Layout for the printed circuit board should ensure digital and analog signal lines are separated as much as possible. Care should be taken not to run any digital signal alongside an analog signal. All analog inputs should be shielded by GND. VREF, REFCOMP and AVDD should be bypassed to the ground plane as close to the pin as possible. Maintaining a low impedance path for the common return of these bypass capacitors is essential to the low noise operation of the ADC. These traces should be as wide as possible. See Figure 7 for a suggested layout. DVDD, BYPASS 10μF, 0603 Sleep Mode The ADC enters sleep mode when CONVST is held high after the conversion is complete (tCONV) if the SLP bit is set to a logic 1. The ADC draws only 7μA in sleep mode, provided that none of the digital inputs are switching. When CONVST returns low, the LTC2308 is released from the SLEEP mode and requires 200ms to wake up and charge the respective 2.2μF and 10μF bypass capacitors on the VREF and REFCOMP pins. 0VDD, BYPASS 10μF, 0603 AVDD, BYPASS 10μF || 0.1μF, 0603 VREF, BYPASS 2.2μF, 1206 REFCOMP, BYPASS 10μF || 0.1μF, 0603 NOTE: SECOND LAYER OF BOARD IS A SOLID GROUND PLANE.
