Analog inputs must be free of noise with respect to GND. CH7/ COM can be either a separate channel or the common minus input for the other channels. REFCOMP (Pin 9): Reference Buffer Output Pin. Bypass to GND with a 10F tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor (4.096V Nominal). To overdrive REFCOMP, tie VREF to GND. VREF (Pin 10): 2.5V Reference Output. This pin can also be used as an external reference buffer input for improved accuracy and drift. Bypass to GND with a 2.2F tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor. CS/CONV (Pin 11): This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the ADC and also frames the serial data transfer. SCK (Pin 12): Shift Clock. This clock synchronizes the serial data transfer. SDO (Pin 13): Digital Data Output. The A/D conversion result is shifted out of this output. Straight binary format for unipolar mode and two's complement format for bipolar mode. SDI (Pin 14): Digital Data Input Pin. The A/D configuration word is shifted into this input. GND (Pin 15): Analog and Digital GND. VDD (Pin 16): Analog and Digital Power Supply. Bypass to GND with a 10F tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor. When powering up the LTC1863/ LTC1867, or any time VDD falls below the minimum specified operating voltage, one dummy conversion must be initiated by providing a rising edge on the CS/CONV pin. The first conversion result may be invalid and should be ignored. Once the CS/CONV pin is returned low, a DIN word can be shifted into SDI to program the configuration for the next conversion. Wait at least t7, the SLEEP mode wake-up time of 80ms, before initiating the second conversion to obtain a valid conversion result.

They consist of a 12-/16-bit, 200ksps capacitive successive approximation A/D converter, a precision internal reference, a configurable 8-channel analog input multiplexer (MUX) and a serial port for data transfer. Conversions are started by a rising edge on the CS/CONV input. Once a conversion cycle has begun, it cannot be restarted. Between conversions, the ADCs receive an input word for channel selection and output the conversion result, and the analog input is acquired in preparation for the next conversion. In the acquire phase, a minimum time of 1.5s will provide enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitors to acquire the analog signal. During the conversion, the internal differential 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 low-power, differential comparator. At the end of a conversion, the DAC output balances the analog input. The SAR contents (a 12-/16-bit data word) that represent the analog input are loaded into the 12-/16-bit output latches. 18637fd For more information www.linear.com/LTC1863 9 LTC1863/LTC1867 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Analog Input Multiplexer Changing the MUX Assignment "On the Fly" 1st Conversion The analog input multiplexer is controlled by a 7-bit input data word.

Each of the analog inputs can be used as a singleended input relative to the GND pin (CH0-GND, CH1-GND, etc) or in pairs (CH0 and CH1, CH2 and CH3, CH4 and CH5, CH6 and CH7) for differential inputs. In addition, CH7 can act as a COM pin for both single-ended and differential modes if the COM bit in the input word is high. Regardless of the MUX configuration, the "+" and "-" inputs are sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted signal that is common mode to both inputs will be reduced by the common mode rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit. The inputs draw only one small current spike while charging the sample-and-hold capacitors during the acquire mode. In conversion mode, the analog inputs draw only a small leakage current. If the source impedance of the driving circuit is low then the LTC1863/LTC1867 inputs can be driven directly. More acquisition time should be allowed for a higher impedance source. The following list is a summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving the LTC1863/LTC1867. LT1007 - Low noise precision amplifier. 2.7mA supply current 5V to 15V supplies. Gain bandwidth product 8MHz. DC applications. LT1097 - Low cost, low power precision amplifier. 300A supply current. 5V to 15V supplies. Gain bandwidth product 0.7MHz. DC applications. LT1227 - 140MHz video current feedback amplifier. 10mA supply current. 5V to 15V supplies. Low noise and low distortion. LT1360 - 37MHz voltage feedback amplifier. 3.8mA supply current. 5V to 15V supplies. Good AC/DC specs. LT1363 - 50MHz voltage feedback amplifier. 6.3mA supply current. Good AC/DC specs. LT1364/LT1365 - Dual and quad 50MHz voltage feedback amplifiers. 6.3mA supply current per amplifier. Good AC/DC specs. LT1468 - 90MHz, 22V/s 16-bit accurate amplifier LT1469 - Dual LT1468 Input Filtering The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and other circuitry must be considered since they will add to the LTC1863/LTC1867 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. For instance, Figure 1 shows a 50 source resistor and a 2000pF capacitor to ground on the input will limit the input bandwidth to 1.6MHz. The source impedance has to be kept low to avoid gain error and degradation in the AC performance. The capacitor also acts as a charge reservoir for the input sample-and-hold and isolates the ADC input from sampling glitch sensitive circuitry. 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 also 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. 18637fd For more information www.linear.com/LTC1863 11 LTC1863/LTC1867 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 50 ANALOG INPUT Dynamic Performance CH0 LTC1863/ LTC1867 2000pF GND REFCOMP 10F 1867 F01a Figure 1a.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio The Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD) is the ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency to 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 3 shows a typical SINAD of 87.9dB with a 200kHz sampling rate and a 1kHz input. When an external 5V is applied to REFCOMP (tie VREF to GND), a signal-to-noise ratio of 90dB can be achieved. Figure 1b. Optional RC Input Filtering for Differential Inputs 0 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 ADC and the resulting output codes are collected over a large number of conversions. For example, in Figure 2 the distribution of output codes is shown for a DC input that had been digitized 4096 times. The distribution is Gaussian and the RMS code transition noise is about 0.74LSB. -40 AMPLITUDE (dB) DC Performance -20 SNR = 88.8dB SINAD = 87.9dB THD = 95dB fSAMPLE = 200ksps INTERNAL REFERENCE -60 -80 -100 -120 -140 0 25 50 100 75 FREQUENCY (kHz) 2500 18637 G04 2152 Figure 3.

Internal Reference The LTC1863/LTC1867 has an on-chip, temperature compensated, curvature corrected, bandgap reference that is factory trimmed to 2.5V. It is internally connected to a reference amplifier and is available at VREF (Pin 10). A 6k resistor is in series with the output so that it can be easily overdriven by an external reference if better drift and/or accuracy are required as shown in Figure 4. The reference amplifier gains the VREF voltage by 1.638V/V to 4.096V at REFCOMP (Pin 9). This reference amplifier compensation pin, REFCOMP, must be bypassed with a 10F ceramic or tantalum in parallel with a 0.1F ceramic for best noise performance. 2.5V R1 6k 10 VREF BANDGAP REFERENCE 2.2F 4.096V 9 REFCOMP REFERENCE AMP 10F R2 R3 15 GND Digital Interface The LTC1863/LTC1867 have a very simple digital interface that is enabled by the control input, CS/CONV. A logic rising edge applied to the CS/CONV input will initiate a conversion. After the conversion, taking CS/CONV low will enable the serial port and the ADC will present digital data in two's complement format in bipolar mode or straight binary format in unipolar mode, through the SCK/SDO serial port. Internal Clock The internal clock is factory trimmed to achieve a typical conversion time of 3s and a maximum conversion time, 3.5s, over the full operating temperature range. The typical acquisition time is 1.1s, and a throughput sampling rate of 200ksps is tested and guaranteed. Automatic Nap Mode The LTC1863/LTC1867 go into automatic nap mode when CS/CONV is held high after the conversion is complete (see Figure 6). With a typical operating current of 1.3mA and automatic 150A nap mode between conversions, the power dissipation drops with reduced sample rate. The ADC only keeps the VREF and REFCOMP voltages active when the part is in the automatic nap mode. The slower the sample rate allows the power dissipation to be lower (see Figure 5).

For best performance ensure that the CS/CONV returns low either within 100ns after the conversion starts (i.e. before the first bit decision) or after the conversion ends. If CS/CONV is low when the conversion ends, the MSB bit will appear on SDO at the end of the conversion and the ADC will remain powered up (see Figure 7). of the common return for these bypass capacitors is essential to the low noise operation of the ADC. The width for these tracks should be as wide as possible. Timing and Control Conversion start is controlled by the CS/CONV digital input. The rising edge transition of the CS/CONV will start a conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete. Figures 6 and 7 show the timing diagrams for two types of CS/CONV pulses. Sleep Mode If the SLP = 1 is selected in the input word, the ADC will enter SLEEP mode and draw only leakage current (provided that all the digital inputs stay at GND or VDD). After release from the SLEEP mode, the ADC need 60ms to wake up (2.2F/10F bypass capacitors on VREF/ REFCOMP pins). Example 1 (Figure 6) shows the LTC1863/LTC1867 operating in automatic nap mode with CS/CONV signal staying HIGH after the conversion. Automatic nap mode provides power reduction at reduced sample rate. The ADCs can also operate with the CS/CONV signal returning LOW before the conversion ends. In this mode (Example 2, Figure 7), the ADCs remain powered up. Board Layout and Bypassing For best performance, it is recommended to keep SCK, SDI, and SDO at a constant logic high or low during acquisition and conversion, even though these signals may be ignored by the serial interface (DON'T CARE). Communication with other devices on the bus should not coincide with the conversion period (tCONV). To obtain the best performance, a printed circuit board with a ground plane is required. Layout for the printed circuit board should ensure digital and analog signal lines are separated as much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not to run any digital signal alongside an analog signal. Figures 8 and 9 are the transfer characteristics for the bipolar and unipolar mode. All analog inputs should be screened by GND. VREF, REFCOMP and VDD should be bypassed to this ground plane as close to the pin as possible; the low impedance tACQ 1/fSCK CS/CONV tCONV NAP MODE NOT NEEDED FOR LTC1863 SCK DON'T CARE 1 2 3 4 SDI DON'T CARE SD 0S S1 S0 D9 D8 SDO (LTC1863) SDO (LTC1867) 5 6 7 COM UNI SLP 8 9 10 11 12 14 15 16 DON'T CARE DON'T CARE Hi-Z MSB D11 D10 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 Hi-Z MSB D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D7 13 D3 D2 D1 D0 1867 F06 Figure 6.
