DESCRIPTION
LTC2315/LTC2314/LTC2313/LTC2312/
12-Bit/14-Bit, 5Msps/4.5Msps/
2.5Msps/500ksps/Serial,
High Speed SAR ADCs
Demonstration circuit 1563A features the LT C
®
2315
family. With sample rates up to 5Msps these unipolar,
single channel, 12-/14-Bit, serial, high speed successive
approximation register (SAR) ADCs are available in an
8-lead TSOT package. The LTC2315 family has an internal
20ppm reference and an SPI-compatible serial interface
that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V and 5V logic. The following
text refers to the LTC2315 but applies to all members of
the family, the only difference being the sample rate and
the number of bits. The DC1563A demonstrates the DC
and AC performance of the LTC2315 in conjunction with
the DC590 QuikEval™ and the DC718 PScope™ data

collection boards. Use the DC590 to demonstrate DC
performance such as peak-to-peak noise and DC linearity.
Use the DC718 if precise sampling rates are required or to
demonstrate AC performance such as SNR, THD, SINAD
and SFDR. Alternatively, by connecting the DC1563A into
a customer application the performance of the LTC2315
can be evaluated directly in that circuit.

DESCRIPTION
Connect the DC1563A to a DC718 USB high speed data
collection board using connector J2. Connect the DC718
to a host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Apply 9V to
10V DC to the 9V to 10V and GND terminals. Apply a low
jitter signal source to J4. As a clock source, apply a low
jitter 10dBm sine wave or square wave to connector J1.
See Table 1 for maximum clock frequencies. Note that J1
has a 50Ω termination resistor to ground. Run the PScope
software (Pscope.exe version K73 or later) supplied with
the DC718 or download it from www.linear.com/software.
Complete software documentation is available from the
Help menu. Updates can be downloaded from the Tools
menu. Check for updates periodically as new features
may be added. The PScope software should recognize the
DC1563A and configure itself automatically.
Click the Collect button (Figures 2 and 3) to begin acquir-
ing data. The Collect button then changes to Pause, which
can be used to stop data acquisition.
Connect the DC1563A to a DC590 USB serial controller
using the supplied 14-conductor ribbon cable. Make sure
that VCCIO of the DC590 is set to 3.3V. Connect the DC590
to a host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Apply a signal
source to J4. Run the QuikEval software supplied with the
DC590 or download it from www.linear.com/software. The
correct control panel will be loaded automatically. Click the
Collect (Figures 4 and 5) button to begin gathering data
from the ADC. Make sure the reference voltage selected
in the QuikEval control panel matches the VDD and VCM
settings on the DC1563A.

HARDWARE SETUP
Signal Connections
J1: CLK IN. This input has a 50Ω termination resistor,
and is intended to be driven by a low jitter, 10dBm sine or
square wave. To achieve full AC performance of this part,
the clock jitter should be kept under 20ps. This input is
capacitively coupled so that the input clock can be either
0V to 3.3V or ±1.65V. This eliminates the need for level
shifting. To run at the maximum conversion rate, apply
the clock frequency specified in the Table 1.
J2: DC718 Interface. Connect to J7 of the DC718. Do not
connect to both the DC718 and the DC590 at the same
time. JP4 (VCCIO) should be set to 3.3V when interfacing
to a DC718.
J3: DC590 Interface. Connect to J4 of the DC590 with the
supplied 14-pin cable. Do not connect to both the DC590
and the DC718 at the same time. Make sure that VCCIO
of the DC590 is set to 3.3V.
J4: AIN. Analog input of the DC1563A. Keep input voltage
swings between GND and REF. For optimum performance,
this input should be band limited to the frequencies of
interest. The default filter comprised of R15 and C19 has
a bandwidth of 67.8MHz.
J5: JTAG. Factory Use Only.
JP1 Coupling. Use this jumper to select AC or DC cou-
pling of AIN. The default setting is AC. At very low input
frequencies, using AC coupling may degrade the distortion
performance. When using AC coupling make sure that
JP2(VCM) is set to half the REF value.
JP2: VCM. Use this jumper to set the DC bias point for
AIN of the LTC2315 when JP1 (Coupling) is in the AC
position. 2.048V is the default setting. Jumpers VCM
and VDD should be switched together so that the DC bias
point (VCM) is half of the REF voltage.
JP3: VDD. Use this jumper to select the ADC VDD and REF
voltages. VDD can be set to 5V (REF = 4.096V) or 2.5V (REF
= 2.048). VDD = 5V (REF = 4.096V) is the default setting.
Jumpers VDD and VCM should be switched together so
that the DC bias point (VCM) is half of the REF voltage.
JP4: VCCIO. Use this jumper to set VCCIO to 3.3V or 2.5V.
The default setting is 3.3V. VCCIO sets the LTC2315 OVDD
voltage and the DC1563A J2 logic high voltage. OVDD sets
the logic high voltage of the LTC2315 SDO pin and the
thresholds of the LTC2315 digital inputs.
