12-Bit, 5Msps Serial
Sampling ADC in TSOT
The LTC
®
2315-12 is a 12-bit, 5Msps, serial sampling A/D
converter that draws only 6.4mA from a wide range analog
supply adjustable from 2.7V to 5.25V. The LTC2315-12
contains an integrated bandgap and reference buffer which
provide a low cost, high performance (20ppm/°C max)
and space saving applications solution. The LTC2315-12
achieves outstanding AC performance of 72.6dB SINAD
and –84dB THD while sampling a 500kHz input frequency.
The extremely high sample rate-to-power ratio makes the
LTC2315-12 ideal for compact, low power, high speed
systems. The LTC2315-12 also provides both nap and
sleep modes for further optimization of the device power
within a system.
The LTC2315-12 has a high-speed SPI-compatible serial
interface that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V and 5V logic. The
fast 5Msps throughput makes the LTC2315-12 ideally
suited for a wide variety of high speed applications.

(AIN, REF) or OVDD (SCK, CS, SDO) 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, fSMPL = 5MHz, fSCK = 87.5MHz, AIN =
–1dBFS and internal reference unless otherwise noted.
Note 5. 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 6. Typical RMS noise at code transitions.
Note 7. Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 2.5V. All input signals
are specified with tr = tf = 1nS (10% to 90% of OVDD) and timed from a
voltage level of OVDD/2.
Note 8. All timing specifications given are with a 10pF capacitance load.
Load capacitances greater than this will require a digital buffer.
Note 9. The time required for the output to cross the VIH or VIL voltage.
Note 10. Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 11. Recommended operating conditions.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
PIN FUNCTIONS
VDD (Pin 1): Power Supply. The ranges of VDD are 2.7V
to 3.6V and 4.75V to 5.25V. Bypass VDD to GND with a
2.2µF ceramic chip capacitor.
REF (Pin 2): Reference Input/Output. The REF pin volt-
age defines the input span of the ADC, 0V to VREF. By
default, REF is an output pin and produces a reference
voltage VREF of either 2.048V or 4.096V depending on
VDD (see Table 2). Bypass to GND with a 2.2µF, low ESR,
high quality ceramic chip capacitor. The REF pin may be
overdriven with a voltage at least 50mV higher than the
internal reference voltage output.
GND (Pin 3): Ground. The GND pin must be tied directly
to a solid ground plane.
AIN (Pin 4): Analog Input. AIN is a single-ended input with
respect to GND with a range from 0V to VREF.
OVDD (Pin 5): I/O Interface Digital Power. The OVDD range
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 to GND with a 2.2µF ceramic chip capacitor.
SDO (Pin 6): Serial Data Output. The A/D conversion result
is shifted out on SDO as a serial data stream with the MSB
first through the LSB last. There is 1 cycle of conversion
latency. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SCK (Pin 7): Serial Data Clock Input. The SCK serial clock
falling edge advances the conversion process and outputs
a bit of the serialized conversion result, MSB first to LSB
last. SDO data transitions on the falling edge of SCK. A
continuous or burst clock may be used. Logic levels are
determined by OVDD.
CS (Pin 8): Chip Select Input. This active low signal starts
a conversion on the falling edge and frames the serial data
transfer. Bringing CS high places the sample-and-hold
into sample mode and also forces the SDO pin into high
impedance. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Overview
The LT C
®
2315-12 is a low noise, high speed, 12-bit succes-
sive approximation register (SAR) ADC. The LTC2315-12
operates over a wide supply range (2.7V to 5.25V) and
provides a low drift (20ppm/°C maximum), internal refer-
ence and reference buffer. The internal reference buffer is
automatically configured to a 2.048V span in low supply
range (2.7V to 3.6V) and to a 4.096V span in the high
supply range (4.75V to 5.25V). The LTC2315-12 samples
at a 5Msps rate and supports an 87.5MHz data clock. The
LTC2315-12 achieves excellent dynamic performance
(73dB SNR, 84dB THD) while dissipating only 32mW from
a 5V supply at the 5Msps conversion rate.
The LTC2315-12 outputs the conversion data with one
cycle of conversion latency on the SDO pin. The SDO pin
output logic levels are supplied by the dedicated OVDD
supply pin which has a wide supply range (1.71V to 5.25V)
allowing the LTC2315-12 to communicate with 1.8V, 2.5V,
3V or 5V systems.
The LTC2315-12 provides both nap and sleep power-down
modes through serial interface control to reduce power
dissipation during inactive periods.
Serial Interface
The LT2315-12 communicates with microcontrollers, DSPs
and other external circuitry via a 3-wire interface. A falling
CS edge starts a conversion and frames the serial data
transfer. SCK provides the conversion clock for the current
sample and controls the data readout on the SDO pin of
the previous sample. CS transitioning low clocks out the
first leading zero and subsequent SCK falling edges clock
out the remaining data as shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7 for
three different timing schemes. Data is serially output MSB
first through LSB last, followed by trailing zeros if further
SCK falling edges are applied. Figure 5 illustrates that dur-
ing the case where SCK is held low during the acquisition
phase, only one leading zero is output. Figures 6 and 7
illustrate that for the SCK held high during acquisition or
continuous clocking mode two leading zeros are output.
Leading zeros allow the 12-bit data result to be framed
with both leading and trailing zeros for timing and data
verification. Since the rising edge of SCK will be coincident
with the falling edge of CS, delay t2 is the delay to the first
falling edge of SCK, which is simply 0.5 • tSCK. Delays t2
(CS falling edge to SCK leading edge) and t10 (14th falling
SCK edge to CS rising edge) must be observed for Figures
5, 6 and 7 and any timing implementation in order for the
conversion process and data readout to occur correctly.
The user can bring CS high after the 14th falling SCK edge
provided that timing delay t10 is observed. Prematurely
terminating the conversion by bringing CS high before
the 14th falling SCK edge plus delay t10 will cause a loss
of conversion data for that sample. The sample-and-hold
is placed in sample mode when CS is brought high. As
shown in Figure 6, a sample rate of 5Msps can be achieved
on the LTC2315-12 by using an 87.5MHz SCK data clock
and a minimum acquisition time of 40ns which results in
the minimum throughput time (tTHROUGHPUT) of 200ns.
Note that the maximum throughput of 5Msps can only be
achieved with the timing implementation of SCK held high
during acquisition as shown in Figure 6.
The LTC2315-12 also supports a continuous data clock
as shown in Figure 7. With a continuous data clock the
acquisition time period and conversion time period must
be designed as an exact integer number of data clock
periods. Because the minimum acquisition time is not an
exact multiple of the minimum SCK period, the maximum
sample rate for the continuous SCK timing is less than
5Msps. For example, a 4.86Msps throughput is achieved
using exactly 18 data clock periods with the maximum data
clock frequency of 87.5MHz. For this particular case, the
acquisition time period and conversion clock period are
designed as 4 data clock periods (TACQ = 45.7ns) and 14
data clock periods (TCONV = 160ns) respectively, yielding
a throughput time of 205.7ns.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The following table illustrates the maximum throughput
achievable for each of the three timing patterns. Note
that in order to achieve the maximum throughput rate of
5Msps, the timing pattern where SCK is held high during
the acquisition time must be used.
Table 1: Maximum Throughput vs Timing Pattern
TIMING PATTERN MAXIMUM
THROUGHPUT
SCK high during TACQ 5Msps
SCK low during TACQ 4.86Msps
SCK continuous (tTHROUGHPUT = 18 periods) 4.86Msps
Serial Data Output (SDO)
The SDO output is always forced into the high impedance
state while CS is high. The falling edge of CS starts the
conversion and enables SDO. The A/D conversion result
is shifted out on the SDO pin as a serial data stream with
the MSB first. The data stream consists of either one
leading zero (SCK held low during acquisition, Fig. 5) or
two leading zeros (SCK held high during acquisition, Fig.
6) followed by 12 bits of conversion data. There is 1 cycle
of conversion latency. Subsequent falling SCK edges after
the LSB is output will output zeros on the SDO pin. The
SDO output returns to the high impedance state after the
16th falling edge of SCK.
The output swing on the SDO pin is controlled by the
OVDD pin voltage and supports a wide operating range
from 1.71V to 5.25V independent of the VDD pin voltage.
Power Considerations
The LTC2315-12 provides two sets of power supply pins:
the analog 5V power supply (VDD) and the digital input/
output interface power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD
supply allows the LTC2315-12 to communicate with any
digital logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems.
Entering Nap/Sleep Mode
Pulsing CS two times and holding SCK static places the
LTC2315-12 into nap mode. Pulsing CS four times and
holding SCK static places the LTC2315-12 into sleep
mode. In sleep mode, all bias circuitry is shut down,
including the internal bandgap and reference buffer, and
only leakage currents remain (0.8µA typical). Because
the reference buffer is externally bypassed with a large
capacitor (2.2µF), the LTC2315-12 requires a significant
wait time (1.1ms) to recharge this capacitance before an
accurate conversion can be made. In contrast, nap mode
does not power down the internal bandgap or reference
buffer allowing for a fast wake-up and accurate conversion
within one conversion clock cycle. Supply current during
nap mode is nominally 1.8mA.
Exiting Nap/Sleep Mode
Waking up the LTC2315-12 from either nap or sleep mode,
as shown in Figures 8 and 9, requires SCK to be pulsed
one time. A conversion may be started immediately fol-
lowing nap mode as shown in Figure 8. A period of time
allowing the reference voltage to recover must follow
waking up from sleep mode as shown in Figure 9. The
wait period required before initiating a conversion for the
recommended value of CREF of 2.2µF is 1.1ms.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2315-12 does not have any specific power sup-
ply sequencing requirements. Care should be taken to
observe the maximum voltage relationships described in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Single-Ended Analog Input Drive
The analog input of the LTC2315-12 is easy to drive. The
input draws only one small current spike while charging
the sample-and-hold capacitor at the end of conversion.
During the conversion, the analog input draws only a small
leakage current. If the source impedance of the driving
circuit is low, then the input of the LTC2315-12 can be
driven directly. As the source impedance increases, so
will the acquisition time. For minimum acquisition time
with high source impedance, a buffer amplifier should be
used. The main requirement is that the amplifier driving
the analog input must settle after the small current spike
before the next conversion starts. Settling time must be less
than tACQ-MIN (40ns) for full performance at the maximum
throughput rate. While choosing an input amplifier, also
keep in mind the amount of noise and harmonic distortion
the amplifier contributes.
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 (<50Ω) 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 100MHz, then the
output impedance at 100MHz must be less than 50Ω. The
second requirement is that the closed-loop bandwidth
must be greater than 100MHz to ensure adequate small
signal settling for full throughput rate. If slower op amps
are used, more time for settling can be provided by in-
creasing the time between conversions. The best choice
for an op amp to drive the LTC2315-12 will depend on the
application. Generally, applications fall into two categories:
AC applications where dynamic specifications are most

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
critical and time domain applications where DC accuracy
and settling time are most critical. The following list is a
summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving the
LTC2315-12. (More detailed information is available on
the Linear Technology website at www.linear.com.)
LT6230: 215MHz GBWP, –80dBc Distortion at 1MHz,
Unity-Gain Stable, Rail-to-Rail Input and Output, 3.5mA/

LT6200: 165MHz GBWP, –85dBc Distortion at 1MHz, Unity-
Gain Stable, R-R In and Out, 15mA/Amplifier, 0.95nV/√Hz.
LT1818/LT1819: 400MHz GBWP, –85dBc Distortion at
5MHz, Unity-Gain Stable, 9mA/Amplifier, Single/Dual
Voltage Mode Operational Amplifier.
Input Drive Circuits
The analog input of the LTC2315-12 is designed to be driven
single-ended with respect to GND. A low impedance source
can directly drive the high impedance analog input of the
LTC2315-12 without gain error. A high impedance source
should be buffered to minimize settling time during acquisi-
tion and to optimize the distortion performance of the ADC.
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used
to drive the analog input of the LTC2315-12. The amplifier
provides low output impedance to allow for fast settling
of the analog signal during the acquisition phase. It also
provides isolation between the signal source and the ADC
inputs which draw a small current spike during acquisition.
Input Filtering
The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifier and other
circuitry must be considered since they add to the ADC
noise and distortion. 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.
Large filter RC time constants slow down the settling at
the analog 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 minimum
acquisition time (tACQ-MIN) of 40ns.
A simple 1-pole RC filter is sufficient for many applica-
tions. For example, Figure 10 shows a recommended
single-ended buffered drive circuit using the LT1818 in
unity gain mode. The 47pF capacitor from AIN to ground
and 50Ω source resistor limits the input bandwidth to
68MHz. The 47pF capacitor also acts as a charge reservoir
for the input sample-and-hold and isolates the LT1818
from sampling glitch kick-back. The 50Ω source resistor
is used to help stabilize the settling response of the drive
amplifier. When choosing values of source resistance
and shunt capacitance, the drive amplifier data sheet
should be consulted and followed for optimum settling
response. If lower input bandwidths are desired, care
should be taken to optimize the settling response of the
driver amplifier with higher values of shunt capacitance
or series resistance. High quality capacitors and resistors
should be used in the RC filter since these components
can add distortion. NP0/C0G 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. When high amplitude unwanted signals are close
in frequency to the desired signal frequency, a multiple
pole filter is required. High external source resistance,
combined with external shunt capacitance at Pin 4 and
13pF of input capacitance on the LTC2315-12 in sample
mode, will significantly reduce the internal 130MHz input
bandwidth and may increase the required acquisition time
beyond the minimum acquisition time (tACQ-MIN) of 40ns.

ADC Reference
A low noise, low temperature drift reference is critical to
achieving the full data sheet performance of the ADC. The
LTC2315-12 provides an excellent internal reference with
a guaranteed 20ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient.
For added flexibility, an external reference may also be used.
The high speed, low noise internal reference buffer is used
only in the internal reference configuration. The reference
buffer must be overdriven in the external reference con-
figuration with a voltage 50mV higher than the nominal
reference output voltage in the internal configuration.
Using the Internal Reference
The internal bandgap and reference buffer are active by
default when the LTC2315-12 is not in sleep mode. The
reference voltage at the REF pin scales automatically with
the supply voltage at the VDD pin. The scaling of the refer-
ence voltage with supply is shown in the following table.
Table 2: Reference Voltage vs Supply Range
SUPPLY VOLTAGE (VDD) REF VOLTAGE (VREF)
2.7V –> 3.6V 2.048V
4.75V –> 5.25V 4.096V
The reference voltage also determines the full-scale analog
input range of the LTC2315-12. For example, a 2.048V
reference voltage will accommodate an analog input range
from 0V to 2.048V. An analog input voltage that goes below
0V will be coded as all zeros and an analog input voltage
that exceeds 2.048V will be coded as all ones.
It is recommended that the REF pin be bypassed to ground
with a low ESR, 2.2µF ceramic chip capacitor for optimum
performance.
External Reference
An external reference can be used with the LTC2315-12
if better performance is required or to accommodate a
larger input voltage span. The only constraints are that
the external reference voltage must be 50mV higher than
the internal reference voltage (see Table 2) and must be
less than or equal to the supply voltage (or 4.3V for the 5V
supply range). For example, a 3.3V external reference may
be used with a 3.3V VDD supply voltage to provide a 3.3V
analog input voltage span (i.e. 3.3V > 2.048V + 50mV).
Or alternatively, a 2.5V reference may be used with a 3V
supply voltage to provide a 2.5V input voltage range (i.e.
2.5V > 2.048V + 50mV). The LTC6655-3.3, LTC6655-2.5,
available from Linear Technology, may be suitable for
many applications requiring a high performance external
reference for either 3.3V or 2.5V input spans respectively.
Transfer Function
Figure 11 depicts the transfer function of the LTC2315-12.
The code transitions occur midway between successive
integer LSB values (i.e. 0.5LSB, 1.5LSB, 2.5LSB… FS-
0.5LSB). The output code is straight binary with 1LSB =
VREF/4,096.
DC Performance
The noise of an ADC can be evaluated in two ways: signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR) in the frequency domain and histogram in
the time domain. The LTC2315-12 excels in both. The noise in
the time domain histogram is the transition noise associated

with a 12-bit resolution ADC which can be measured with a
fixed DC signal applied to the input of the ADC. The resulting
output codes are collected over a large number of conversions.
The shape of the distribution of codes will give an indication
of the magnitude of the transition noise. In Figure 12, the
distribution of output codes is shown for a DC input that has
been digitized 16,384 times. The distribution is Gaussian and
the RMS code transition noise is 0.33LSB. This corresponds to
a noise level of 73dB relative to a full scale voltage of 4.096V.

Dynamic Performance
The LTC2315-12 has excellent high speed sampling
capability. 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 frequencies outside the applied fundamental. The
LTC2315-12 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 14 shows the LTC2315-12 maintains a
SINAD above 71dB up to the Nyquist input frequency of
2.5MHz.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The effective number of bits (ENOB) is a measurement of
the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to SINAD
by the equation where ENOB is the effective number of
bits of resolution and SINAD is expressed in dB:
ENOB = (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02
At the maximum sampling rate of 5MHz, the LTC2315-12
maintains an ENOB above 11.7 bits up to the Nyquist input
frequency of 2.5MHz. (Figure 14)
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 13 shows
that the LTC2315-12 achieves a typical SNR of 73dB at a
5MHz sampling rate with a 500kHz input frequency.
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+VN
2
V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre-
quency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second
through Nth harmonics. THD versus Input Frequency is
shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
The LTC2315-12 has excellent distortion performance up
to the Nyquist frequency.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral
component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can
produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition to
THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused
by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different
frequency.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are ap-
plied to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer
function can create distortion products at the sum and
difference frequencies m • fa ± n • fb , where m and n = 0,
1, 2, 3, etc. For example, the 2nd order IMD terms include
(fa ± fb). If the two input sine waves are equal in magnitude,
the value (in decibels) of the 2nd order IMD products can
be expressed by the following formula:
IMD(fa ± fb) = 20 • log[VA (fa ± fb)/VA (fa)]
The LTC2315-12 has excellent IMD as shown in Figure 15.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The spurious free dynamic range is the largest spectral
component excluding DC, the input signal and the harmon-
ics included in the THD. This value is expressed in decibels
relative to the RMS value of a full-scale input signal.
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced
by 3dB for a full-scale input signal.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the SINAD has dropped to 68dB (11 effective bits). The
LTC2315-12 has been designed to optimize the input
bandwidth, allowing the ADC to under-sample input signals
with frequencies above the converter’s Nyquist frequency.
The noise floor stays very low at high frequencies and
SINAD becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies
beyond Nyquist.
Recommended Layout
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2315-12 a
printed circuit board is required. Layout for the printed
circuit board (PCB) should ensure the digital and analog
signal lines are separated as much as possible. In particu-
lar, care should be taken not to run any digital clocks or
signals alongside analog signals or underneath the ADC.
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 DC1563, the
evaluation kit for the LTC2315-12.
Bypassing Considerations
High quality tantalum and ceramic bypass capacitors
should be used at the VDD, OVDD and REF pins. For opti-
mum performance, a 2.2µF ceramic chip capacitor should
be used for the VDD and OVDD pins. The recommended
bypassing for the REF pin is also a low ESR, 2.2µF ceramic
capacitor. The traces connecting the pins and the bypass
capacitors must be kept as short as possible and should
be made as wide as possible avoiding the use of vias.
The following is an example of a recommended PCB layout.
All analog circuitry grounds should be terminated at the
LTC2315-12. The ground return from the LTC2315-12 to
the power supply should be low impedance for noise free
operation. Digital circuitry grounds must be connected to
the digital supply common.
In applications where the ADC data outputs and control
signals are connected to a continuously active micropro-
cessor bus, it is possible to get errors in the conversion
results. These errors are due to feed-through from the
microprocessor to the successive approximation com-
parator. The problem can be eliminated by forcing the
microprocessor into a “Wait” state during conversion or
by using three-state buffers to isolate the ADC data bus.
