Using on-chip resistors and switches, it provides an attenuation and offset that can be programmed for each channel on the fly. The precisely trimmed attenuators ensure accurate input ranges. Because they precede the multiplexer, errors due to multiplexer on-resistance are eliminated. The input word that selects the input channel also selects the desired input range for that channel. The available ranges are 0V to 5V, 0V to 10V (unipolar), ±5V and ±10V (bipolar). They are achieved with the ADC running on a single 5V supply. In addition to the range selection, single ended or differential inputs may be selected for each channel or pair of channels. Finally, overrange protection is provided for unselected channels. An overrange condition on an unused channel will not affect the conversion result on the selected channel. CONVERSION DETAILS The analog signals applied at the MUX input channels are rescaled by the resistor divider network formed by R1, R2 and R3 as shown below. The rescaled signals appear on the MUXOUT (Pins 10, 11) which are also connected to the ADC inputs (Pins 12, 13) under normal operation. REFCOMP BIPOLAR MUX INPUT During the conversion, the internal differential 12-/14-/ 16-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 (ADC + – ADC –). The SAR contents (a 16-bit data word) which represents the difference of ADC+ and ADC– are loaded into the 12-/14-/16-bit shift register. DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS The LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 use a successive approximation algorithm and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an analog signal to a 12-/14-/16-bit serial output respectively. The ADCs are complete with a precision reference and an internal clock. The control logic provides easy interface to microprocessors and DSPs. (Please refer to the Digital Interface section for the data format.) R1 25k Before starting a conversion, an 8-bit data word is clocked into the SDI input on the first eight rising SCK edges to select the MUX address, input range and power down mode. The ADC enters acquisition mode on the falling edge of the sixth clock in the 8-bit data word and ends on the rising edge of the CONVST signal which also starts a conversion (see Figure 7). A minimum time of 4µs will provide enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitors to acquire the analog signal. Once a conversion cycle has begun, it cannot be restarted. R3 10k CH SEL The nominal input ranges for the LTC1857/LTC1858/ LTC1859 are 0V to 5V, 0V to 10V, ±5V and ±10V and the MUX inputs are overvoltage protected to ±25V. The input impedance is typically 42kΩ in unipolar mode and 31kΩ in bipolar mode, therefore, it should be driven with a low impedance source. Wideband noise coupling into the input can be minimized by placing a 3000pF capacitor at the input as shown in Figure 2. An NPO-type capacitor gives the lowest distortion. Place the capacitor as close to the device input pin as possible. If an amplifier is to be used to drive the input, care should be taken to select an amplifier with adequate accuracy, linearity and noise for the application. The following list is a summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving the LTC1857/LTC1858/ LTC1859.

INTERNAL VOLTAGE REFERENCE The LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 have an on-chip, temperature compensated, curvature corrected, bandgap reference, which is factory trimmed to 2.50V. The full-scale range of the LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 is equal to ±5V, 0V to 5V, ±10V or 0V to 10V. The output of the reference is connected to the input of a gain of 1.6384x buffer through an 8k resistor (see Figure 3). The input to the 185789f 11 LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO buffer or the output of the reference is available at VREF (Pin 15). The internal reference can be overdriven with an external reference if more accuracy is needed. The buffer output drives the internal DAC and is available at REFCOMP (Pin 16). The REFCOMP pin can be used to drive a steady DC load of less than 2mA. Driving an AC load is not recommended because it can cause the performance of the converter to degrade. 15 VREF 2.5V 8k 2.5V REFERENCE 1µF 12-/14-/16-BIT CAPACITIVE DAC 1.6384X BUFFER 16 REFCOMP 4.096V 0.1µF 1859 F03 10µF Figure 3. Internal or External Reference Source For minimum code transition noise the VREF pin and the REFCOMP pin should each be decoupled with a capacitor to filter wideband noise from the reference and the buffer. UNIPOLAR / BIPOLAR OPERATION Figure 4a shows the ideal input/output characteristics for the LTC1859. The code transitions occur midway between 1LSB = 111...111 successive integer LSB values (i.e., 0.5LSB, 1.5LSB, 2.5LSB, … FS – 1.5LSB). The output code is natural binary with 1LSB = FS/65536. Figure 4b shows the input/output transfer characteristics for the bipolar mode in two’s complement format. FULL SCALE AND OFFSET In applications where absolute accuracy is important, offset and full-scale errors can be adjusted to zero during a calibration sequence. Offset error must be adjusted before full-scale error. Zero offset is achieved by adjusting the offset applied to the “–” input. For single-ended inputs, this offset should be applied to the COM pin. For differential inputs, the “–” input is dictated by the MUX address. For unipolar zero offset error, apply 0.5LSB (actual voltage will vary with input span selected) to the “+” input and adjust the offset at the “–” input until the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0000 0001 for the LTC1859, between 00 0000 0000 0000 and 00 0000 0000 0001 for the LTC1858 and between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001 for the LTC1857. For bipolar zero error, apply – 0.5LSB (actual voltage will vary with input span selected) to the “+” input and adjust the offset at the “–” input until the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111 1111 for the LTC1859, between 00 0000 0000 0000 and FS 65536 011...111 111...110 1LSB = 011...110 111...100 OUTPUT CODE OUTPUT CODE 111...101 UNIPOLAR ZERO 000...011 FS 65536 BIPOLAR ZERO 000...001 000...000 111...111 111...110 000...010 100...001 000...001 100...000 000...000 0V 1 LSB FS – 1LSB INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 1859 F4a Figure 4a.

For bipolar inputs, an input voltage of FS – 1.5LSBs should be applied to the “+” input and the appropriate reference adjusted until the output code flickers between 0111 1111 1111 1110 and 0111 1111 1111 1111 for the LTC1859, between 01 1111 1111 1110 and 01 1111 1111 1111 for the LTC1858 and between 0111 1111 1110 and 0111 1111 1111 for the LTC1857. These adjustments as well as the factory trims affect all channels. The channel-to-channel offset and gain error matching are guaranteed by design to meet the specifications in the Converter Characteristics table. DC PERFORMANCE One way of measuring the transition noise associated with a high resolution ADC is to use a technique where a DC signal is applied to the input of the MUX and the resulting output codes are collected over a large number of conversions. For example in Figure 5 the distribution of output code is shown for a DC input that has been digitized 4096 times. The distribution is Gaussian and the RMS code transition is about 1LSB for the LTC1859. DIGITAL INTERFACE Internal Clock The ADC has an internal clock that is trimmed to achieve a typical conversion time of 4µs. No external adjustments are required and, with the maximum acquisition time of 4µs, throughput performance of 100ksps is assured. 1400 1200 COUNT As mentioned earlier, the internal reference is factory trimmed to 2.50V. To make sure that the reference buffer gain is not compensating for trim errors in the reference, REFCOMP is trimmed with an accurate external 2.5V reference applied to VREF. For unipolar inputs, an input voltage of FS – 1.5LSBs should be applied to the “+” input and the appropriate reference adjusted until the output code flickers between 1111 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111 1111 for the LTC1859, between 11 1111 1111 1110 and 11 1111 1111 1111 for the LTC1858 and between 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111 for the LTC1857. 1600 1000 800 600 400 200 0 –4 –3 –2 –1 1 0 CODE 2 3 4 1859 F05 Figure 5. LTC1859 Histogram for 4096 Conversions 3V Input/Output Compatible The LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 operate on a 5V supply, which makes the devices easy to interface to 5V digital systems. These devices can also interface to 3V digital systems: the digital input pins (SCK, SDI, CONVST and RD) of the LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 recognize 3V or 5V inputs. The LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 have a dedicated output supply pin (OVP) that controls the output swings of the digital output pins (SDO, BUSY) and allows the part to interface to either 3V or 5V digital systems. The output is two’s complement binary for bipolar mode and offset binary for unipolar mode. Timing and Control Conversion start and data read are controlled by two digital inputs: CONVST and RD. To start a conversion and put the sample-and-hold into the hold mode bring CONVST high for no less than 40ns. Once initiated it cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete. Converter status is indicated by the BUSY output and this is low while the conversion is in progress. Figures 6a and 6b show two different modes of operation for the LTC1859. For the 12-bit LTC1857 and 14-bit LTC1858, the last four and two bits of the SDO will output zeros respectively. In mode 1 (Figure 6a), RD is tied low. The rising edge of CONVST starts the conversion. The data outputs are always enabled. The MSB of the data output is available after the conversion. In mode 2 (Figure 6b), CONVST and RD are tied together. The rising edge of the CONVST signal starts the conversion.

When the conversion is complete (BUSY goes high), CONVST and RD go low to enable the data output for the previous conversion. SERIAL DATA INPUT (SDI) INTERFACE The LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 communicate with microprocessors and other external circuitry via a synchronous, full duplex, 3-wire serial interface (see Figure 7). The shift clock (SCK) synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being transmitted on the falling SCK edge and captured on the rising SCK edge in both transmitting and receiving systems. The data is transmitted and received simultaneously (full duplex). An 8-bit input word is shifted into the SDI input which configures the LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859 for the next conversion. Simultaneously, the result of the previous conversion is output on the SDO line. At the end of the data exchange the requested conversion begins by applying a rising edge on CONVST. 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 conversion from the input word requesting it.

Further inputs on the SDI pin are then ignored until the next conversion.

For a given channel selection, the converter will measure the voltage between the two channels indicated 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. Both the “+” and “–” inputs are sampled simultaneously so common mode noise is rejected. INPUT RANGE (UNI, GAIN) The fifth and sixth input bits (UNI, GAIN) determine the input range for the conversion. When UNI is a logical one, a unipolar conversion will be performed. When UNI is a logical zero, a bipolar conversion will result. The GAIN input bit determines the input span for the conversion. When GAIN is a logical one, either 0V to 10V or ±10V input spans will be selected depending on UNI. When GAIN is a logical zero, either 0V to 5V or ±5V input spans will be chosen. The input ranges for different UNI and GAIN inputs are shown in Table 2. Table 2. Input Range Selection UNI GAIN INPUT RANGE 0 0 ±5V 1 0 0V to 5V 0 1 ±10V 1 1 0V to 10V POWER DOWN SELECTION (NAP, SLEEP) The last two bits of the input word (Nap and Sleep) determine the power shutdown mode of the LTC1857/LTC1858/ LTC1859. See Table 3. Nap mode is selected when Nap = 1 and Sleep = 0. The previous conversion result will be clocked out and a conversion will occur before entering the Nap mode. The Nap mode starts at the end of the conversion which is indicated by the rising edge of the BUSY signal. Nap mode lasts until the falling edge of the 2nd SCK (see Figure 9). Automatic nap will be achieved if Nap = 1 is selected each time an input word is written to the ADC. Table 3. Power Down Selection NAP SLEEP POWER DOWN MODE 0 0 Power On 1 0 Nap X 1 Sleep Sleep mode will occur when Sleep = 1 is selected, regardless of the selection of the Nap input. The previous conversion result can be clocked out and the Sleep mode will start on the falling edge of the last (16th) SCK. Notice that the CONVST should stay either high or low in sleep mode (see Figure 10). To wake up from the sleep mode, apply a rising edge on the CONVST signal and then apply Sleep = 0 on the next SDI word and the part will wake up on the falling edge of the last (16th) SCK (see Figure 11). In Sleep mode, all bias currents are shut down and only the power on reset circuit and leakage currents (about 10µA) remain. Sleep mode wake-up time is dependent on the value of the capacitor connected to the REFCOMP (Pin 16). The wake-up time is typically 40ms with the recommended 10µF capacitor connected on the REFCOMP pin. DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE 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 12 shows a typical LTC1859 FFT plot which yields a SINAD of 87dB and THD of – 101dB. 185789f 16 Hi-Z DON’T CARE tCONV DON’T CARE tCONV DON’T CARE B15 (MSB) SGL/ DIFF SGL/ DIFF 1 B15 (MSB) 3 SELECT 0 4 UNI 5 GAIN 6 B13 B14 ODD/ SIGN 2 B14 ODD/ SIGN 2 SELECT 1 3 B11 SELECT 0 4 B10 UNI 5 B9 8 6 B8 B12 B11 B10 A/D RESULT NOT VALID B9 SELECT 0 4 UNI 5 GAIN 6 B13 B12 B10 SLEEP tCONV Hi-Z NAP B15 MSB SGL/ DIFF 1 SELECT 1 B8 SLEEP = 0 8 B14 B0 (LSB) 16 B13 B9 NAP 7 B8 SLEEP = 0 8 B1 DON’T CARE 15 WAKE-UP TIME B0 (LSB) 16 READY tCONV B15 (MSB) SGL/ DIFF 1 Figure 10.

The output is band limited to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling frequency. Figure 12 shows a typical SINAD of 87dB with a 100kHz sampling rate and a 1kHz input. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION 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. THD is expressed as: V22 + V32 + V42 ... + VN2 THD = 20log V1 MAGNITUDE (dB) where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second through Nth harmonics. BOARD LAYOUT, POWER SUPPLIES AND DECOUPLING Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high resolution or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best performance from the LTC1857/LTC1858/LTC1859, a printed circuit board is required. Layout for the printed circuit board should ensure 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 or underneath the ADC. The analog input should be screened by AGND. In applications where the MUX is connected to the ADC, it is possible to get noise coupling into the ADC from the trace connecting the MUXOUT to the ADC. Therefore, reducing the length of the traces connecting the MUXOUT pins (Pins 10, 11) to the ADC pins (Pins 12, 13) can minimize the problem. The unused MUX inputs should be grounded to prevent noise coupling into the inputs. Figure 13 shows the power supply grounding that will help obtain the best performance from the 12-bit/14-bit/16-bit ADCs. Pay particular attention to the design of the analog and digital ground planes.

Placing the bypass capacitor as close as possible to the power supply pins, the reference and reference buffer output is very important. Low impedance common returns for these bypass capacitors are essential to low noise operation of the ADC, and the foil width for these tracks should be as wide as possible. Also, since any potential difference + – in grounds between the signal source and ADC appears as an error voltage in series with the input signal, attention should be paid to reducing the ground circuit impedance as much as possible. The digital output latches and the onboard sampling clock have been placed on the digital ground plane. The two ground planes are tied together at the power supply ground connection.
