FeaTures DescripTion
16-Bit, 1Msps, ±10.24V
True Bipolar, Pseudo-Differential
Input ADC with 93.5dB SNR
The LTC
®
2328-16 is a low noise, high speed 16-bit suc-
cessive approximation register (SAR) ADC with pseudo-
differential inputs. Operating from a single 5V supply, the
LTC2328-16 has a ±10.24V true bipolar input range, making
it ideal for high voltage applications which require a wide
dynamic range. The LTC2328-16 achieves ±1.5LSB INL
maximum, no missing codes at 16 bits with 93.5dB SNR.
The LTC2328-16 has an onboard single-shot capable
reference buffer and low drift (20ppm/°C max) 2.048V
temperature compensated reference. The LTC2328-16
also has a high speed SPI-compatible serial interface that
supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic while also featur-
ing a daisy-chain mode. The fast 1Msps throughput with
no cycle latency makes the LTC2328-16 ideally suited
for a wide variety of high speed applications. An internal
oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external timing
considerations. The LTC2328-16 dissipates only 50mW
and automatically naps between conversions, leading to
reduced power dissipation that scales with the sampling
rate. A sleep mode is also provided to reduce the power
consumption of the LTC2328-16 to 300μW for further
power savings during inactive periods.

The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range, otherwise specifications are at TA = 25°C. (Note 4)
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 ground.
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above VDD or
OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
input currents up to 100mA below ground or above VDD or OVDD without
latch-up.
Note 4: VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, ±10.24V Range, REFIN = 2.048V,
fSMPL = 1MHz.
Note 5: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 6: 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 7: Bipolar zero error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 1111
1111 1111 1111. Full-scale bipolar error is the worst-case of –FS or +FS
untrimmed deviation from ideal first and last code transitions and includes
the effect of offset error.
Note 8: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale ±10.24V input
with REFIN = 2.048V.
Note 9: When REFBUF is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must be
turned off by setting REFIN = 0V.
Note 10: fSMPL = 1MHz, IREFBUF varies proportionally with sample rate.
Note 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 12: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V, OVDD = 2.5V
and OVDD = 5.25V.
Note 13: tSCK of 10ns maximum allows a shift clock frequency up to
100MHz for rising edge capture.
Note 14: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.

IN (Pin 5): Analog Ground Sense. IN has an input range
of ±500mV with respect to GND and must be tied to the
ground plane or a remote sense.
REFBUF (Pin 7): Reference Buffer Output. An onboard
buffer nominally outputs 4.096V to this pin. This pin is
referred to GND and should be decoupled closely to the pin
with a 47μF ceramic capacitor. The internal buffer driving
this pin may be disabled by grounding its input at REFIN.
Once the buffer is disabled, an external reference may
overdrive this pin in the range of 2.5V to 5V. A resistive
load greater than 500kΩ can be placed on the reference
buffer output.
REFIN (Pin 8): Reference Output/Reference Buffer Input.
An onboard bandgap reference nominally outputs 2.048V
at this pin. Bypass this pin with a 100nF ceramic capacitor
to GND to limit the reference output noise. If more accu-
racy is desired, this pin may be overdriven by an external
reference in the range of 1.25V to 2.4V.
CNV (Pin 9): Convert Input. A rising edge on this input
powers up the part and initiates a new conversion. Logic
levels are determined by OVDD.
CHAIN (Pin 10): Chain Mode Selector Pin. When low,
the LTC2328-16 operates in normal mode and the
RDL/SDI input pin functions to enable or disable SDO.
When high, the LTC2328-16 operates in chain mode and the
RDL/SDI pin functions as SDI, the daisy-chain serial data
input. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
BUSY (Pin 11): BUSY Indicator. Goes high at the start of
a new conversion and returns low when the conversion
has finished. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
RDL/SDI (Pin 12): When CHAIN is low, the part is in nor-
mal mode and the pin is treated as a bus enabling input.
When CHAIN is high, the part is in chain mode and the
pin is treated as a serial data input pin where data from
another ADC in the daisy chain is input. Logic levels are
determined by OVDD.
SCK (Pin 13): Serial Data Clock Input. When SDO is enabled,
the conversion result or daisy-chain data from another
ADC is shifted out on the rising edges of this clock MSB
first. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SDO (Pin 14): Serial Data Output. The conversion result or
daisy-chain data is output on this pin on each rising edge
of SCK MSB first. The output data is in 2’s complement
format. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
OVDD (Pin 15): I/O Interface Digital Power. The range of
OVDD is 1.71V to 5.25V. This supply is nominally set to
the same supply as the host interface (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V,
or 5V). Bypass OVDD to GND with a 0.1μF capacitor.

OVERVIEW
The LTC2328-16 is a low noise, high speed 16-bit suc-
cessive approximation register (SAR) ADC with pseudo-
differential inputs. Operating from a single 5V supply, the
LTC2328-16 has a ±10.24V true bipolar input range, making
it ideal for high voltage applications which require a wide
dynamic range. The LTC2328-16 achieves ±1.5LSB INL
maximum, no missing codes at 16-bits and 93.5dB SNR.
The LTC2328-16 has an onboard single-shot capable
reference buffer and low drift (20ppm/°C max) 2.048V
temperature-compensated reference. The LTC2328-16
also has a high speed SPI-compatible serial interface that
supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic while also featur-
ing a daisy-chain mode. The fast 1Msps throughput with
no cycle latency makes the LTC2328-16 ideally suited
for a wide variety of high speed applications. An internal
oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external timing
considerations. The LTC2328-16 dissipates only 50mW
and automatically naps between conversions, leading to
reduced power dissipation that scales with the sampling
rate. A sleep mode is also provided to reduce the power
consumption of the LTC2328-16 to 300μW for further
power savings during inactive periods.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2328-16 operates in two phases. During the ac-
quisition phase, the charge redistribution capacitor D/A
converter (CDAC) is connected to the outputs of the resis-
tor divider networks that pins IN+ and IN drive to sample
an attenuated and level-shifted version of the pseudo-
differential analog input voltage as shown in Figure3. A
rising edge on the CNV pin initiates a conversion. During
the conversion phase, the 16-bit CDAC is sequenced
through a successive approximation algorithm, effectively
comparing the sampled input with binary-weighted frac-
tions of the reference voltage (e.g. VREFBUF/2, VREFBUF/4
VREFBUF/65536) using the differential comparator. At
the end of conversion, the CDAC output approximates the
sampled analog input. The ADC control logic then prepares
the 16-bit digital output code for serial transfer.
Figure 2. LTC2328-16 Transfer Function
TRANSFER FUNCTION
The LTC2328-16 digitizes the full-scale voltage of ±2.5
REFBUF into 216 levels, resulting in an LSB size of 312.5µV
with REFBUF = 4.096V. The ideal transfer function is shown
in Figure 2. The output data is in 2’s complement format.
ANALOG INPUT
The analog inputs of the LTC2328-16 are pseudo-differen-
tial in order to reduce any unwanted signal that is common
to both inputs. The analog inputs can be modeled by the
equivalent circuit shown in Figure 3. The back-to-back
diodes at the inputs form clamps that provide ESD protec-
tion. Each input drives a resistor divider network that has

Figure 4. Input Signal Chain
a total impedance of 2kΩ. The resistor divider network
attenuates and level shifts the ±2.5 REFBUF true bipolar
signal swing of each input to the 0-REFBUF input signal
swing of the ADC core. In the acquisition phase, 45pF (CIN)
from the sampling CDAC in series with approximately 50Ω
(RON) from the on-resistance of the sampling switch is
connected to the output of the resistor divider network.
Any unwanted signal that is common to both inputs will
be reduced by the common mode rejection of the ADC
core and resistor divider network. The IN+ input of the
ADC core draws a current spike while charging the CIN
capacitor during acquisition.
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
A low impedance source can directly drive the high im-
pedance input of the LTC2328-16 without gain error. A
high impedance source should be buffered to minimize
settling time during acquisition and to optimize the dis-
tortion performance of the ADC. Minimizing settling time
is important even for DC inputs, because the ADC input
draws a current spike when entering acquisition.
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used
to drive the analog input of the LTC2328-16. The amplifier
provides low output impedance to minimize gain error
and allows for fast settling of the analog signal during
the acquisition phase. It also provides isolation between
the signal source and the ADC input which draws a small
current spike during acquisition.
Input Filtering
The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifier and signal
source must be considered since they add to the ADC noise
and distortion. Noisy input signals should be filtered prior
to the buffer amplifier input with a low bandwidth filter to
minimize noise. The simple 1-pole RC lowpass filter shown
in Figure 4 is sufficient for many applications.
The input resistor divider network, sampling switch on-
resistance (RON) and the sample capacitor (CIN) form a
second lowpass filter that limits the input bandwidth to
the ADC core to 7MHz. A buffer amplifier with a low noise
density must be selected to minimize the degradation of
the SNR over this bandwidth.
High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in the
RC filters 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.
Pseudo-Differential Bipolar Inputs
For most applications, we recommend the low power
LT1468 ADC driver to drive the LTC2328-16. With a low
noise density of 5nV/√Hz and a low supply current of 3mA,
the LT1468 is flexible and may be configured to convert
signals of various amplitudes to the ±10.24V input range
of the LTC2328-16.
To achieve the full distortion performance of the
LTC2328-16, a low distortion single-ended signal source
driven through the LT1468 configured as a unity-gain
buffer as shown in Figure 4 can be used to get the full
data sheet THD specification of –111dB.
ADC REFERENCE
There are three ways of providing the ADC reference. The
first is to use both the internal reference and reference
buffer. The second is to externally overdrive the internal
reference and use the internal reference buffer. The third
is to disable the internal reference buffer and overdrive
the REFBUF pin from an external source. The following
tables give examples of these cases and the resulting
bipolar input ranges.

Internal Reference with Internal Buffer
The LTC2328-16 has an on-chip, low noise, low drift
(20ppmC max), temperature compensated bandgap
reference that is factory trimmed to 2.048V. It is internally
connected to a reference buffer as shown in Figure 5a and
is available at REFIN (Pin 8). REFIN should be bypassed to
GND with a 100nF ceramic capacitor to minimize noise. The
reference buffer gains the REFIN voltage by 2 to 4.096V at
REFBUF (Pin 7). So the input range is ±10.24V, as shown
in Table 1. Bypass REFBUF to GND with at least a 47μF
ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size) to compensate
the reference buffer and minimize noise.
External Reference with Internal Buffer
If more accuracy and/or lower drift is desired, REFIN
can be easily overdriven by an external reference since
a 15k resistor is in series with the reference as shown
in Figure5b. REFIN can be overdriven in the range from
1.25V to 2.4V. The resulting voltage at REFBUF will be
2REFIN. So the input range is ±5 REFIN, as shown
in Table 2. Linear Technology offers a portfolio of high
performance references designed to meet the needs of
many applications. With its small size, low power, and high
accuracy, the LTC6655-2.048 is well suited for use with
the LTC2328-16 when overdriving the internal reference.
The LTC6655-2.048 offers 0.025% (max) initial accuracy
and 2ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient for high pre-
cision applications. The LTC6655-2.048 is fully specified
over the H-grade temperature range and complements
the extended temperature range of the LTC2328-16 up to
125°C. Bypassing the LTC6655-2.048 with a 2.7μF to 100µF
ceramic capacitor close to the REFIN pin is recommended.
External Reference Unbuffered
The internal reference buffer can also be overdriven from
2.5V to 5V with an external reference at REFBUF as shown
in Figure 5c. So the input ranges are ±6.25V to ±12.5V,
respectively, as shown in Table 3. To do so, REFIN must
be grounded to disable the reference buffer. A 13k resistor
loads the REFBUF pin when the reference buffer is disabled.
To maximize the input signal swing and corresponding
SNR, the LTC6655-5 is recommended when overdriv-
ing REFBUF. The LTC6655-5 offers the same small size,
accuracy, drift and extended temperature range as the
LTC6655-2.048. By using this 5V reference, an SNR of
94.5dB can be achieved. Bypassing the LTC6655-5 with
a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X5R, 0805 size) close to the
REFBUF pin is recommended.
The REFBUF pin of the LTC2328-16 draws a charge (QCONV)
from the external bypass capacitor during each conversion
cycle. If the internal reference buffer is overdriven, the
external reference must provide all of this charge with a
DC current equivalent to IREFBUF = QCONV/tCYC. Thus, the
DC current draw of REFBUF depends on the sampling

of the output code. If an external reference is used to
overdrive REFBUF, the fast settling LTC6655-5 reference

Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response
For optimum transient performance, the internal reference
buffer should be used. The internal reference buffer uses a
proprietary design that results in an output voltage change
at REFBUF of less than 0.25LSB when responding to a sud-
den burst of conversions. This makes the internal reference
buffer of the LTC2328-16 truly single-shot capable since the
first sample taken after idling will yield the same result as
a sample taken after the transient response of the internal
reference buffer has settled. Figure 7 shows the transient
responses of the LTC2328-16 with the internal reference
buffer and with the internal reference buffer overdriven by
the LTC6655-5, both with a bypass capacitance of 47μF.
rate and output code. In applications where a burst of
samples is taken after idling for long periods, as shown in
Figure6, IREFBUF quickly goes from approximately 390µA
to a maximum of 1.2mA for REFBUF = 5V at 1Msps. This
step in DC current draw triggers a transient response in
the external reference that must be considered since any
deviation in the voltage at REFBUF will affect the accuracy Figure 7. Transient Response of the LTC2328-16

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) 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 frequen-
cies outside the fundamental. The LTC2328-16 provides
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise
measurements.
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 and 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 8 shows that the LTC2328-16 achieves
a typical SINAD of 93.4dB at a 1MHz sampling rate with
a 2kHz input.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio between the
RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and
the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components
except the first five harmonics and DC. Figure 8 shows
that the LTC2328-16 achieves a typical SNR of 93.5dB at
a 1MHz sampling rate with a 2kHz input.
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=20log V22+V32+V42+…+ VN2
V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental
frequency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the
second through Nth harmonics.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The LTC2328-16 provides two power supply pins: the 5V
power supply (VDD), and the digital input/output interface
power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply allows
the LTC2328-16 to communicate with any digital logic
operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and 3.3V
systems.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2328-16 does not have any specific power supply
sequencing requirements. Care should be taken to adhere
to the maximum voltage relationships described in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The LTC2328-16
has a power-on reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2328-16 at initial power-up or whenever the power
supply voltage drops below 2V. Once the supply voltage
reenters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR will
re-initialize the ADC. No conversions should be initiated
until 200μs after a POR event to ensure the re-initialization
period has ended. Any conversions initiated before this
time will produce invalid results.
TIMING AND CONTROL
CNV Timing
The LTC2328-16 conversion is controlled by CNV. A ris-
ing edge on CNV will start a conversion and power up
the LTC2328-16. Once a conversion has been initiated,
it cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete.

Figure 9. Power Supply Current of the LTC2328-16
Versus Sampling Rate
For optimum performance, CNV should be driven by a
clean low jitter signal. Converter status is indicated by the
BUSY output which remains high while the conversion is
in progress. To ensure that no errors occur in the digitized
results, any additional transitions on CNV should occur
within 40ns from the start of the conversion or after the
conversion has been completed. Once the conversion has
completed, the LTC2328-16 powers down and begins
acquiring the input signal.
Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2328-16 has an internal clock that is trimmed to
achieve a maximum conversion time of 527ns. With a mini-
mum acquisition time of 460ns, throughput performance
of 1Msps is guaranteed without any external adjustments.
Auto Nap Mode
The LTC2328-16 automatically enters nap mode after a
conversion has been completed and completely powers
up once a new conversion is initiated on the rising edge of
CNV. During nap mode, only the ADC core powers down
and all other circuits remain active. During nap, data from
the last conversion can be clocked out. The auto nap mode
feature will reduce the power dissipation of the LTC2328-16
as the sampling frequency is reduced. Since full power is
consumed only during a conversion, the ADC core of the
LTC2328-16 remains powered down for a larger fraction of
the conversion cycle (tCYC) at lower sample rates, thereby
reducing the average power dissipation which scales with
the sampling rate as shown in Figure 9.
Sleep Mode
The auto nap mode feature provides limited power savings
since only the ADC core powers down. To obtain greater
power savings, the LTC2328-16 provides a sleep mode.
During sleep mode, the entire part is powered down
except for a small standby current resulting in a power
dissipation of 300μW. To enter sleep mode, toggle CNV
twice with no intervening rising edge on SCK. The part
will enter sleep mode on the falling edge of BUSY from
the last conversion initiated. Once in sleep mode, a rising
edge on SCK will wake the part up. Upon emerging from
sleep mode, wait tWAKE ms before initiating a conversion
to allow the reference and reference buffer to wake up
and charge the bypass capacitors at REFIN and REFBUF.
(Refer to the Timing Diagrams section for more detailed
timing information about sleep mode.)
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2328-16 has a serial digital interface. The flexible
OVDD supply allows the LTC2328-16 to communicate with
any digital logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems.
The serial output data is clocked out on the SDO pin when
an external clock is applied to the SCK pin if SDO is enabled.
Clocking out the data after the conversion will yield the
best performance. With a shift clock frequency of at least
40MHz, a 1Msps throughput is still achieved. The serial
output data changes state on the rising edge of SCK and
can be captured on the falling edge or next rising edge of
SCK. D15 remains valid till the first rising edge of SCK.
The serial interface on the LTC2328-16 is simple and
straightforward to use. The following sections describe the
operation of the LTC2328-16. Several modes are provided
depending on whether a single or multiple ADCs share the
SPI bus or are daisy-chained.

Normal Mode, Single Device
When CHAIN = 0, the LTC2328-16 operates in normal
mode. In normal mode, RDL/SDI enables or disables the
serial data output pin SDO. If RDL/SDI is high, SDO is in
high impedance. If RDL/SDI is low, SDO is driven. Figure10
shows a single LTC2328-16 operated in normal mode
with CHAIN and RDL/SDI tied to ground. With RDL/SDI
grounded, SDO is enabled and the MSB(D15) of the new
conversion data is available at the falling edge of BUSY.
This is the simplest way to operate the LTC2328-16.

Normal Mode, Multiple Devices
Figure 11 shows multiple LTC2328-16 devices operating
in normal mode (CHAIN = 0) sharing CNV, SCK and SDO.
By sharing CNV, SCK and SDO, the number of required
signals to operate multiple ADCs in parallel is reduced.
Since SDO is shared, the RDL/SDI input of each ADC must
be used to allow only one LTC2328-16 to drive SDO at a
time in order to avoid bus conflicts. As shown in Figure 11,
the RDL/SDI inputs idle high and are individually brought
low to read data out of each device between conversions.
When RDL/SDI is brought low, the MSB of the selected
device is output onto SDO.

Chain Mode, Multiple Devices
When CHAIN = OVDD, the LTC2328-16 operates in
chain mode. In chain mode, SDO is always enabled and
RDL/SDI serves as the serial data input pin (SDI) where
daisy-chain data output from another ADC can be input.
This is useful for applications where hardware constraints
may limit the number of lines needed to interface to a large
number of converters. Figure 12 shows an example with
two daisy-chained devices. The MSB of converter A will
appear at SDO of converter B after 16 SCK cycles. The
MSB of converter A is clocked in at the SDI/RDL pin of
converter B on the rising edge of the first SCK.

Sleep Mode
To enter sleep mode, toggle CNV twice with no interven-
ing rising edge on SCK as shown in Figure 13. The part
will enter sleep mode on the falling edge of BUSY from
the last conversion initiated. Once in sleep mode, a rising
edge on SCK will wake the part up. Upon emerging from
sleep mode, wait tWAKE ms before initiating a conversion
to allow the reference and reference buffer to wake up
and charge the bypass capacitors at REFIN and REFBUF.

boarD layouT
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2328-16 a
printed circuit board (PCB) is recommended. Layout for
PCB 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 clocks or signals alongside
analog signals or underneath the ADC.
Recommended Layout
The following is an example of a recommended PCB layout.
A single solid ground plane is used. Bypass capacitors to
the supplies are placed as close as possible to the supply
pins. Low impedance common returns for these bypass
capacitors are essential to the low noise operation of the
ADC. The analog input traces are screened by ground.
For more details and information refer to DC1908, the
evaluation kit for the LTC2328-16.
