This easy-to-use device includes a high dynamic range sample-and-hold, a precision reference and a PGA input circuit. The LTC1405 has a flexible input circuit that allows fullscale input ranges of ±2.048V, ±1.024V and ±0.512V. The input common mode range is rail-to-rail and a common mode bias voltage is provided for single supply applications. The input PGA has a digitally selectable 1x or 2x gain. Maximum DC specs include ±1LSB INL and ±1LSB DNL over temperature. Outstanding AC performance includes 71.3dB S/(N + D) and 85dB SFDR at the Nyquist input frequency of 2.5MHz. The unique differential input sample-and-hold can acquire single-ended or differential input signals up to its 100MHz bandwidth. The 75dB common mode rejection allows users to eliminate ground loops and common mode noise by measuring signals differentially from the source.

It is a complete solution with an on-chip sample-and-hold, a 12-bit pipelined CMOS ADC, a low drift programmable reference and an input programmable gain amplifier. The digital output is parallel, with a 12-bit two’s complement output and an out-ofrange (overflow) bit. The LTC1405 has a flexible analog input with a wide selection of input ranges. The input range is always differential and is set by the voltages at the VREF and the GAIN pins (Figure 1). The input range of the A/D core is fixed at ±VREF/2. The reference voltage, VREF, is either set by the on-chip voltage reference or directly driven by an external voltage. The GAIN pin is a digital input that controls the gain of a preamplifier in the sample-and-hold circuit. The gain of this PGA can be set to 1x or 2x. Table 1 gives the input range in terms of VREF and GAIN. The rising edge of the CLK begins a conversion. The differential analog inputs are simultaneously sampled and passed on to the pipelined A/D. After two more conversion starts (plus a 150ns conversion time) the digital outputs are updated with the conversion result and will be ready for capture on the third rising clock edge. Thus even though a new conversion is begun every time CLK goes high, each result takes three clock cycles to reach the output. The analog signals that are passed from stage to stage in the pipelined A/D are stored on capacitors. The signals on these capacitors will be lost if the delay between conversions is too long. For accurate conversion results, the part should be clocked faster than 20kHz. In some pipelined A/D converters if there is no clock present, dynamic logic on the chip will droop and the power consumption sharply increases. The LTC1405 doesn’t have this problem. If the part is not clocked for 1ms, an internal timer will refresh the dynamic logic. Thus the clock can be turned off for long periods of time to save power. Power Supplies The LTC1405 will operate from either a single 5V or dual ±5V supply, making it easy to interface the analog input to single or dual supply systems. The digital output drivers have their own power supply pin (OVDD) which can be set from 3V to 5V, allowing direct connection to either 3V or 5V digital systems. For single supply operation, VSS should be connected to analog ground. For dual supply operation, VSS should be connected to – 5V. Both VDD pins should be connected to a clean 5V analog supply. (Don’t connect VDD to a noisy system digital supply.)

Analog Input Circuit Internal Reference Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the LTC1405 reference circuitry. An on-chip temperature compensated bandgap reference (VCM) is factory trimmed to 2.500V. The voltage at the VREF pin sets the input span of the ADC to ±VREF/2. An internal voltage divider converts VCM to 2.048V, which is connected to a reference amplifier. The reference programming pin, SENSE, controls how the reference amplifier drives the VREF pin. If SENSE is tied to ground, the reference amplifier feedback is connected to the R1/R2 voltage divider, thus making VREF = 4.096V. If SENSE is tied to VREF, the reference amplifier feedback is connected to SENSE thus making VREF = 2.048V. If SENSE is tied to VDD, the reference amplifier is disconnected from VREF and VREF can be driven by an external voltage. With two additional resistors, VREF can be set to any voltage between 2.048V and 4.5V. 7 LTC1405 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO An external reference or a DAC can be used to drive VREF over a 0V to 5V range (Figures 3a and 3b). The input impedance of the VREF pin is 2kΩ, so a buffer may be required for high accuracy. Driving VREF with a DAC is useful in applications where the peak input signal amplitude may vary. The input span of the ADC can then be adjusted to match the peak input signal, maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio. Both the VCM and VREF pins must be bypassed with capacitors to ground. For best performance, 1µF or larger ceramic capacitors are recommended. For the case of external circuitry driving VREF, a smaller capacitor can be used at VREF so the input range can be changed quickly. In this case, a 0.05µF or larger ceramic capacitor is acceptable.

For single 5V supply applications it is convenient to connect AIN – directly to the VCM pin. Figure 2. Reference Circuit 5V Driving the Analog Inputs The differential inputs of the LTC1405 are easy to drive. The inputs may be driven differentially or single-ended (i. e., the AIN – input is held at a fixed value). The AIN – and AIN + inputs are simultaneously sampled and any common mode signal is reduced by the high common mode rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit. Any common mode input value is acceptable as long as the input pins stay between VDD and VSS. During conversion the analog inputs are high impedance. At the end of conversion the inputs draw a small current spike while charging the sample-and-hold. VIN VOUT LT1019A-2.5 VREF 1µF 5V LTC1405 SENSE VCM 1µF 1405 F03a Figure 3a. Using the LT1019-2.5 As an External Reference; Input Range = ±1.25V For superior dynamic performance in dual supply mode, the LTC1405 should be operated with the analog inputs centered at ground, and in single supply mode the inputs should be centered at 2.5V. If required, the analog inputs can be driven differentially via a transformer. Refer to Table 2 for a summary of the analog input and reference configurations and their relative advantages.

If the input signal is centered around ground, such as when dual supply op amps are used, simply connect AIN – to ground and connect VSS to – 5V (Figure 4). In a single power supply system with the input signal centered around 2.5V, connect AIN – to VCM and VSS to ground (Figure 5). If the input signal is not centered around ground or 2.5V, the voltage for AIN – must be generated externally by a resistor divider or a voltage reference (Figure 6). 4.096V +AIN VIN 0V LTC1405 2.048V 5V –AIN SENSE VSS 1405 F06 Figure 6.

DC Coupling a Ground Centered Signal (Dual Supply System) The analog inputs to the LTC1405 can also be AC coupled through a capacitor, though in most cases it is simpler to directly couple the input to the ADC. Figure 7 shows an example where the input signal is centered around ground and the ADC operates from a single 5V supply. Note that the performance would improve if the ADC was operated from a dual supply and the input was directly coupled (as in Figure 4). With AC coupling the DC resistance to ground should be roughly matched for AIN + and AIN – to maintain offset accuracy. 5V 5V C 2.5V +AIN VIN 0V +AIN VIN LTC1405 LTC1405 –AIN –AIN R VCM 1µF R C VCM VSS 1405 F05 Figure 5.

Note That the Input Signal Can Almost Always Be Directly Coupled with Better Performance 9 LTC1405 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Differential Operation The THD and SFDR performance of the LTC1405 can be improved by using a center tap RF transformer to drive the inputs differentially. Though the signal can no longer be DC coupled, the improvement in dynamic performance makes this an attractive solution for some applications. Typical connections for single and dual supply systems are shown in Figures 8a and 8b. Good choices for transformers are the Mini Circuits T1-1T (1:1 turns ratio) and T4-6T (1:4 turns ratio). For best results the transformer should be located close to the LTC1405 on the printed circuit board. 5V MINI CIRCUITS T1-1T VIN 15Ω +AIN 1000pF 15Ω LTC1405 –AIN VCM 1µF VSS 1405 F08a Figure 8a.

Dual Supply Transformer Coupled Input 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 10 must be greater than 50MHz 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 LTC1405 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. Input Filtering The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and other circuitry must be considered since they will add to the LTC1405 noise and distortion. The small-signal bandwidth of the sample-and-hold circuit is 100MHz. 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 9 shows a 1000pF capacitor from + AIN to – AIN and a 30Ω source resistor to limit the input bandwidth to 5.3MHz. The 1000pF capacitor also acts as a charge reservoir for the input sample-and-hold and isolates the amplifier driving VIN from the ADC’s small current glitch. In undersampling applications, an input capacitor this large may prohibitively limit the input bandwidth. If this is the case, use as large an input capacitance as possible. High quality capacitors and resistors should be used 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. 30Ω +AIN VIN 1000pF LTC1405 –AIN 1405 F09 Figure 9.

The output data is two’s complement binary for all input ranges and for both single and dual supply operation. One LSB = VREF/4.096. To create a straight binary output, invert the MSB (D11). The overflow bit (OF) indicates when the analog input is outside the input range of the converter. OF is high when the output code is 1000 0000 0000 or 0111 1111 1111. noise from affecting performance, the load capacitance on the digital outputs should be minimized. If large capacitive loads are required, (>30pF) external buffers or 100Ω resistors in series with the digital outputs are suggested. 5V VIN 5V R1 50k 24k +AIN LTC1405 –AIN 100Ω –5V 1 OVERFLOW 0 BIT VREF 011…111 1µF 10k 011…110 R2 1k OUTPUT CODE 011…101 SENSE VSS 1405 F11 10k –5V Figure 11.

LTC1405 Transfer Characteristics Full-Scale and Offset Adjustment In applications where absolute accuracy is important, offset and full-scale errors can be adjusted to zero. Offset error should be adjusted before full-scale error. Figure 11 shows a method for error adjustment for a dual supply, 4.096V application. For zero offset error apply – 0.5mV (i. e., – 0.5LSB) at + AIN and adjust R1 until the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111. For full-scale adjustment, apply an input voltage of 2.0465V (FS – 1.5LSBs) at + AIN and adjust R2 until the output code flickers between 0111 1111 1110 and 0111 1111 1111. Digital Output Drivers The LTC1405 output drivers can interface to logic operating from 3V to 5V by setting OVDD to the logic power supply. If 5V output is desired, OVDD can be shorted to VDD and share its decoupling capacitor. Otherwise, OVDD requires its own 1µF decoupling capacitor. To prevent digital The conversion start is controlled by the rising edge of the CLK pin. Once a conversion is started it cannot be stopped or restarted until the conversion cycle is complete. Output data is updated at the end of conversion, or about 150ns after a conversion is begun. There is an additional two cycle pipeline delay, so the data for a given conversion is output two full clock cycles plus 150ns after the convert start. Thus output data can be latched on the third CLK rising edge after the rising edge that samples the input. Clock Input The LTC1405 only uses the rising edge of the CLK pin for internal timing, and CLK doesn’t necessarily need to have a 50% duty cycle. For optimal AC performance the rise time of the CLK should be less than 5ns. If the available clock has a rise time slower than 5ns, it can be locally sped up with a logic gate. With single supply operation the clock can be driven with 5V CMOS, 3V CMOS or TTL logic levels. With dual power supplies the clock should be driven with 5V CMOS levels. As with all fast ADCs, the noise performance of the LTC1405 is sensitive to clock jitter when high speed inputs 11 LTC1405 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO connected to this ground plane. All bypass capacitors for the LTC1405 should also be connected to this ground plane (Figure 12). The digital system ground should be connected to the analog ground plane at only one point, near the OGND pin. are present. The SNR performance of an ADC when the performance is limited by jitter is given by: SNR = – 20log (2π fIN tJ)dB where fIN is the frequency of an input sine wave and tJ is the root-mean-square jitter due to the clock, the analog input and the A/D aperture jitter. To minimize clock jitter, use a clean clock source such as a crystal oscillator, treat the clock signals as sensitive analog traces and use dedicated packages with good supply bypassing for any clock drivers. The analog ground plane should be as close to the ADC as possible. Care should be taken to avoid making holes in the analog ground plane under and around the part. To accomplish this, we recommend placing vias for power and signal traces outside the area containing the part and the decoupling capacitors (Figure 13). Board Layout Supply Bypassing To obtain the best performance from the LTC1405, a printed circuit board with a 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. High quality, low series resistance ceramic 1µF capacitors should be used at both VDD pins, VCM and VREF. If VSS is connected to – 5V it should also be bypassed to ground with 1µF. In single supply operation VSS should be shorted to the ground plane as close to the part as possible. If OVDD is not shorted to Pin 23 (VDD) it also requires a 1µF decoupling capacitor to ground. Surface mount capacitors such as the AVX 0805ZC105KAT provide excellent bypassing in a small board space. The traces connecting the pins and the bypass capacitors must be kept short and should be made as wide as possible. An analog ground plane separate from the logic system ground should be placed under and around the ADC. Pins 6, 8 and 24 (GND), Pin 21 (OGND) and all other analog grounds should be connected to this ground plane. In single supply mode, Pin 25 (VSS) should also be 1 DIGITAL SYSTEM LTC1405 +AIN 1000pF ANALOG INPUT CIRCUITRY + – 2 –AIN VCM VREF GND VDD GND 3 5 6 7 8 1µF 1µF 1µF VDD GND OVDD 23 1µF 22 OGND VSS 24 1µF 25 21 1µF ANALOG GROUND PLANE 1405 F12 Figure 12.
