The ADCs are complete with a precision reference and an internal clock. The control logic provides easy interface to microprocessors and DSPs. (Please refer to the Digital Interface section for the data format.) Conversion start is controlled by the CS, RD and HBEN inputs. At the start of conversion the successive approximation register (SAR) is reset and the three-state data outputs are enabled. Once a conversion cycle has begun it cannot be restarted. During conversion, the internal 12-bit capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). Referring to Figure 1, the AIN input connects to the sample-and-hold capacitor during the acquire phase, and the comparator offset is nulled by the feedback switch. In this acquire phase, a minimum delay of 600ns will provide enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitor to acquire the analog signal. During the convert phase, the comparator feedback switch opens, putting the comparator into the compare mode. The input switch switches CSAMPLE to ground, injecting the analog input charge onto the summing junction. This input charge is successively compared with the binary-weighted charges supplied by the capacitive DAC. Bit decisions are made by the high speed comparator. At the end of a conversion, the DAC output balances the AIN input charge. The SAR contents (a 12-bit data word) which represent the AIN are loaded into the 12-bit output latches. DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE The LTC1273/LTC1275/LTC1276 have an exceptionally high speed sampling capability. FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) test techniques are used to characterize 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 fundamental. Figure 2 shows a typical LTC1275 FFT plot. Signal-to-Noise Ratio The Signal-to-Noise plus Distortion Ratio [S/(N + D)] 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 2 shows a typical spectral content with a 300kHz sampling rate and a 29kHz input. The dynamic performance is excellent for input frequencies up to the Nyquist limit of 150kHz. 0 fSAMPLE = 300kHz fIN = 29.37kHz SAMPLE -20 AMPLITUDE (dB) SAMPLE SI CSAMPLE - AIN HOLD + CDAC COMPARATOR -40 -60 -80 DAC VDAC S A R -100 -120 0 LTC1273/75/76 * F01 Figure 1.

Effective Bits and Signal to (Noise + Distortion) vs Input Frequency Total Harmonic Distortion 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. 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. THD versus input fre- 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. If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function can create distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. For example, the 2nd order IMD terms include (fa + fb) and (fa - fb) while the 3rd order IMD terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa - fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa - 2fb). 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) = 20log Amplitude at (fa fb) Amplitude at fa 127356fa 11 LTC1273 LTC1275/LTC1276 U W U UO APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO Figure 5 shows the IMD performance at a 30kHz input. 0 fSAMPLE = 300kHz fIN1 = 29.37kHz fIN2 = 32.446kHz AMPLITUDE (dB) -20 -40 -60 -80 -100 -120 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 FREQUENCY (kHz) LTC1273/75/76 * F05 Figure 5. Intermodulation Distortion Plot Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral component excluding the input signal and DC. 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 that 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 S/(N + D) has dropped to 68dB (11 effective bits). The LTC1273/LTC1275/LTC1276 have been designed to optimize input bandwidth, allowing ADCs to undersample input signals with frequencies above the converters' Nyquist Frequency. The noise floor stays very low at high frequencies; S/(N + D) becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies far beyond Nyquist. Driving the Analog Input the analog input must settle after the small current spike before the next conversion starts. Any op amp that settles in 600ns to small current transients will allow maximum speed operation. If slower op amps are used, more settling time can be provided by increasing the time between conversions. Suitable devices capable of driving the ADCs' AIN input include the LT1190/LT1191, LT1007, LT1220, LT1223 and LT1224 op amps. The analog input tolerates source resistance very well. Here again, the only requirement is that the analog input must settle before the next conversion starts. For larger source resistance, full DC accuracy can be obtained if more time is allowed between conversions. For more information, see the Acquisition Time vs Source Resistance curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. For optimum frequency domain performance [e.g., S/(N + D)], keep the source resistance below 100. Internal Reference The LTC1273/LTC1275/LTC1276 have an on-chip, temperature compensated, curvature corrected, bandgap reference which is factory trimmed to 2.42V. It is internally connected to the DAC and is available at pin 2 to provide up to 1mA current to an external load. For minimum code transition noise the reference output should be decoupled with a capacitor to filter wideband noise from the reference (10F tantalum in parallel with a 0.1F ceramic). In the LTC1275, the VREF pin can be driven above its normal value with a DAC or other means to provide input span adjustment or to improve the reference temperature drift. Figure 6 shows an LT1006 op amp driving the INPUT RANGE 1.033VREF(OUT) + VREF(OUT) 2.45V VREF LT1006 The analog inputs of the LTC1273/LTC1275/LTC1276 are easy to drive.

The VREF pin must be driven to at least 2.45V to prevent conflict with the internal reference. The reference should be driven to no more than 4.8V to keep the input span within the 5V supplies. In the LTC1273/ LT1276, the input spans are 0V to 5V and 5V respectively with the internal reference. Driving the reference is not recommended on the LTC1273/LTC1276 since the input spans will exceed the supplies and codes will be lost at full scale. 111...110 OUTPUT CODE 111...101 5V 000...001 000...000 GND 0V FS - 1LSB 1 LSB INPUT VOLTAGE (V) LTC1273/75/76 * F08 Figure 8.

LTC1273 Offset and Full Scale Adjust Circuit should be adjusted before full scale. To adjust offset, apply 0.61mV (i.e., 1/2LSB) at the input and adjust the offset trim until the LTC1273 output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001. To adjust full scale, apply an analog input of 4.99817V (i.e., FS - 1 1/2LSBs or last code transition) at the input and adjust the full scale trim until the LTC1273 output code flickers between 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111. It should be noted that if negative ADC offsets need to be adjusted or if an output swing to ground is required, the op amp in Figure 10b requires a negative power supply. Bipolar Offset and Full Scale Adjustment (LTC1275/LTC1276) Bipolar offset and full scale errors are adjusted in a similar fashion to the unipolar case. Figure 10a shows the extra components required for full scale error adjustment. If both offset and full scale adjustments are needed, the circuit in Figure 10c can be used. Again, bipolar offset must be adjusted before full scale error. Bipolar offset adjustment is achieved by trimming the offset adjustment of Figure 10c while the input voltage is 1/2LSB below ground. This is done by applying an input voltage of - 0.61mV or - 1.22mV (- 0.5LSB for LTC1275 or LTC1276) to the input in Figure 10c and adjusting R8 until the ADC output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111. For full scale adjustment, an input voltage of 2.49817V or 4.99636V (FS - 1 1/2LSBs for LTC1275 or Figure 10c. LTC1275/LTC1276 Offset and Full Scale Adjust Circuit LTC1276) is applied to the input and R5 is adjusted until the output code flickers between 0111 1111 1110 and 0111 1111 1111. BOARD LAYOUT AND BYPASSING The LTC1273/LTC1275/LTC1276 are easy to use. To obtain the best performance from the devices a printed circuit board 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. The analog input should be screened by AGND. High quality tantalum and ceramic bypass capacitors should be used at the VDD and VREF pins as shown in Figure 11. For the LTC1275/LTC1276 a 0.1F ceramic provides adequate bypassing for the VSS pin. The capacitors must be located as close to the pins as possible. The traces connecting the pins and the bypass capacitors must be kept short and should be made as wide as possible. Noise: Input signal leads to AIN and signal return leads from AGND (Pin 3) should be kept as short as possible to minimize input noise coupling. In applications where this is not possible, a shielded cable between source and ADC is recommended. Also, since any potential difference in grounds between the signal source and ADC appears as an 127356fa 14 LTC1273 LTC1275/LTC1276 W U U UO APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO 1 ANALOG INPUT CIRCUITRY + - DIGITAL SYSTEM LTC1273 AIN AGND VREF 3 2 10F DGND VDD 24 0.1F 10F 12 0.1F GROUND CONNECTION TO DIGITAL CIRCUITRY ANALOG GROUND PLANE LTC1273/75/76 * F11 Figure 11. Power Supply Grounding Practice error voltage in series with the input signal, attention should be paid to reducing the ground circuit impedances as much as possible. A single point analog ground plane separate from the logic system ground should be established at Pin 3 (AGND) or as close as possible to the ADC, as shown in Figure 11. Pin 12 (DGND) and all other analog grounds should be connected to this single analog ground point. No other digital grounds should be connected to this analog ground point. Low impedance analog and digital power supply common returns are essential to low noise operation of the ADC and the width for these traces should be as wide as possible. In applications where the ADC data outputs and control signals are connected to a continuously active microprocessor bus, it is possible to get errors in conversion results. These errors are due to feedthrough from the microprocessor to the ADC. 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. DIGITAL INTERFACE The ADCs are designed to interface with microprocessors as a memory mapped device. The CS and RD control inputs are common to all peripheral memory interfacing. The HBEN input serves as a data byte select for 8-bit processors and is normally either connected to the microprocessor address bus or grounded. Internal Clock These ADCs have an internal clock that eliminates the need for synchronization between an external clock and the CS and RD signals found in other ADCs. The internal clock is factory trimmed to achieve a typical conversion time of 2.45s, and a maximum conversion time over the full operating temperature range of 2.7s. No external adjustments are required and, with the guaranteed maximum acquisition time of 600ns, throughput performance of 300ksps is assured. Timing and Control Conversion start and data read operations are controlled by three digital inputs: HBEN, CS and RD. Figure 12 shows the logic structure associated with these inputs.

The 4MSBs always appear on D11...D8 whenever the threestate output drivers are turned on. on all three inputs to initiate a conversion. Once initiated it cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete. Converter status is indicated by the BUSY output, and this is low while conversion is in progress. Slow Memory Mode, Parallel Read (HBEN = LOW) There are two modes of operation as outlined by the timing diagrams of Figures 13 to 16. Slow Memory Mode is designed for microprocessors which can be driven into a WAIT state. A READ operation brings CS and RD low which initiates a conversion and data is read when conversion is complete. The second is the ROM Mode which does not require microprocessor WAIT states. A READ operation brings CS and RD low which initiates a conversion and reads the previous conversion result. Figure 13 and Table 2 show the timing diagram and data bus status for Slow Memory Mode, Parallel Read. CS and RD going low trigger a conversion and the ADC acknowledges by taking BUSY low. Data from the previous conversion appears on the three-state data outputs. BUSY returns high at the end of conversion when the output latches have been updated and the conversion result is placed on data outputs D11...D0/8. Data Format Slow Memory Mode, Two Byte Read The output format can be either a complete parallel load for 16-bit microprocessors or a two byte load for 8-bit microprocessors. Data is always right justified (i.e., LSB is the most right-hand bit in a 16-bit word). For a two byte read, only data outputs D7...D0/8 are used. Byte selection is governed by the HBEN input which controls an internal digital multiplexer. This multiplexes the 12-bits of conversion data onto the lower D7...D0/8 outputs (4MSBs or For a two byte read, only 8 data outputs D7...D0/8 are used. Conversion start procedure and data output status for the first read operation are identical to Slow Memory Mode, Parallel Read. See Figure 14 timing diagram and Table 3 data bus status. At the end of the conversion, the low data byte (D7...D0/8) is read from the ADC. A second READ operation, with the HBEN high, places the high byte on data outputs D3/11...D0/8 and disables conversion start.

ROM Mode, Parallel Read (HBEN = LOW) The ROM Mode avoids placing a microprocessor into a WAIT state. A conversion is started with a READ operation, and the 12 bits of data from the previous conversion are available on data outputs D11...D0/8 (see Figure 15 and Table 4). This data may be disregarded if not required. A second READ operation reads the new data (DB11...DB0) and starts another conversion. A delay at least as long as the ADC's conversion time plus the 600ns minimum delay between conversions must be allowed between READ operations. ROM Mode, Two Byte Read As previously mentioned for a two byte read, only data outputs D7...D0/8 are used. Conversion is started in the D3/11 D2/10 D1/9 D0/8 normal way with a READ operation and the data output status is the same as the ROM mode, Parallel Read (see Figure 16 timing diagram and Table 5 data bus status). Two more READ operations are required to access the new conversion result. A delay equal at the ADCs' conversion time must be allowed between conversion start and the third data READ operation. The second READ operation with HBEN high disables conversion start and places the high byte (4MSBs) on data outputs D3/11...D0/8. A third read operation accesses the low data byte (DB7...DB0) and starts another conversion. The 4MSBs appear on data outputs D11...D8 during all three read operations.

The LTC1273 is operating in the Slow Memory Mode and a two byte read is required. Not shown in the figure is the 8-bit latch required to demultiplex the 8085A common address/data bus. A0 is used to assert HBEN so that an even address (HBEN = LOW) to the LTC1273 will start a conversion and read the low data byte. An odd address (HBEN = HIGH) will read the high data byte.

It has a 400ns full scale and 100ps resolution. The start signal releases the ramp generator made up of the PNP current source and the 250pF capacitor. The circuit ramps until the stop signal shuts off the current source. The final value of the ramp represents the time between the start and stop events. The LTC1273 digitizes this final value and outputs the digital data.
