FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Quad, 16-Bit, 5Msps/Ch
Simultaneous Sampling ADC
The LTC
®
2325-16 is a low noise, high speed quad 16-bit
successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with
differential inputs and wide input common mode range.
Operating from a single 3.3V or 5V supply, the LTC2325-16
has an 8VP-P differential input range, making it ideal for
applications which require a wide dynamic range with high
common mode rejection. The LTC2325-16 achieves ±2LSB
INL typical, no missing codes at 16 bits and 82dB SNR.
The LTC2325-16 has an onboard low drift (20ppm/°C max)
2.048V or 4.096V temperature-compensated reference.
The LTC2325-16 also has a high speed SPI-compatible
serial interface that supports CMOS or LVDS. The fast
5Msps per channel throughput with one cycle latency
makes the LTC2325-16 ideally suited for a wide variety
of high speed applications. The LTC2325-16 dissipates
only 40mW per channel and offers nap and sleep modes
to reduce the power consumption to 90μW for further
power savings during inactive periods.

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 GND.
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below GND, or above VDD or
OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input
currents up to 100mA below GND, or above VDD or OVDD, without latch-up.
Note 4: VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, REFOUT1,2,3,4 = 4.096V, fSMPL = 5MHz.
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 ±4.096V input
with REF = 4.096V.
Note 9: When REFOUT1,2,3,4 is overdriven, the internal reference buffer
must be turned off by setting REFBUFEN = 0V.
Note 10: fSMPL = 5MHz, IREFOUT1,2,3,4 varies proportionally with sample rate.
Note 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 12: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V and OVDD = 2.5V.
Note 13: tSCK of 9.1ns allows a shift clock frequency up to 105MHz for
rising edge capture.
Note 14: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 15: CNV is driven from a low jitter digital source, typically at OVDD
logic levels.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PINS THAT ARE THE SAME FOR ALL DIGITAL I/O MODES
AIN4+, AIN4– (Pins 2, 1): Analog Differential Input Pins.
Full-scale range (AIN4+ – AIN4–) is ±REFOUT4 voltage.
These pins can be driven from VDD to GND.
GND (Pins 3, 7, 12, 18, 26, 32, 38, 46, 49): Ground.
These pins and exposed pad (Pin 53) must be tied directly
to a solid ground plane.
AIN3+, AIN3– (Pins 5, 4): Analog Differential Input Pins.
Full-scale range (AIN3+ – AIN3–) is ±REFOUT3 voltage.
These pins can be driven from VDD to GND.
REFOUT3 (Pin 6): Reference Buffer 3 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 10µF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor. The
internal buffer driving this pin may be disabled by ground-
ing the REFBUFEN pin. If the buffer is disabled, an external
reference may drive this pin in the range of 1.25V to 5V.
REF (Pin 8): Common 4.096V reference output. Decouple
to GND with a 1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor. May be
overdriven with a single external reference to establish a
common reference for ADC cores 1 through 4.
REFOUT2 (Pin 9): Reference Buffer 2 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 10µF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor. The
internal buffer driving this pin may be disabled by ground-
ing the REFBUFEN pin. If the buffer is disabled, an external
reference may drive this pin in the range of 1.25V to 5V.
AIN2+, AIN2– (Pins 11, 10): Analog Differential Input Pins.
Full-scale range (AIN2+ – AIN2–) is ±REFOUT2 voltage.
These pins can be driven from VDD to GND.
AIN1+, AIN1– (Pins 14, 13): Analog Differential Input Pins.
Full-scale range (AIN1+ – AIN1–) is ±REFOUT1 voltage.
These pins can be driven from VDD to GND.
VDD (Pins 15, 21, 44, 52): Power Supply. Bypass VDD to
GND with a 10µF ceramic capacitor and a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor close to the part. The VDD pins should be shorted
together and driven from the same supply.
REFOUT1 (Pin 22): Reference Buffer 1 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 10µF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor. The
internal buffer driving this pin may be disabled by ground-
ing the REFBUFEN pin. If the buffer is disabled, an external
reference may drive this pin in the range of 1.25V to 5V.
SDR/DDR (Pin 23): Double Data Rate Input. Controls the
frequency of SCK and CLKOUT. Tie to GND for the falling
edge of SCK to shift each serial data output (Single Data
Rate, SDR). Tie to OVDD to shift serial data output on each
edge of SCK (Double Data Rate, DDR). CLKOUT will be a
delayed version of SCK for both pin states.
CNV (Pin 24): Convert Input. This pin, when high, defines
the acquisition phase. When this pin is driven low, the
conversion phase is initiated and output data is clocked
out. This input must be driven at OVDD levels with a low
jitter pulse. This pin is unaffected by the CMOS/LVDS pin.
CMOS/LVDS (Pin 25): I/O Mode Select. Ground this pin
to enable CMOS mode, tie to OVDD to enable LVDS mode.
Float this pin to enable low power LVDS mode.
OVDD (Pins 31, 37): I/O Interface Digital Power. The range
of OVDD is 1.71V to 2.63V. This supply is nominally set
to the same supply as the host interface (CMOS: 1.8V or
2.5V, LVDS: 2.5V). Bypass OVDD to GND (Pins 32 and 38)
with 0.1µF capacitors.
REFBUFEN (Pin 43): Reference Buffer Output Enable. Tie
to VDD when using the internal reference. Tie to ground
to disable the internal REFOUT1–4 buffers for use with
external voltage references. This pin has a 500k internal
pull-up to VDD.
REFOUT4 (Pin 45): Reference Buffer 4 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 10µF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor. The
internal buffer driving this pin may be disabled by ground-
ing the REFBUFEN pin. If the buffer is disabled, an external
reference may drive this pin in the range of 1.25V to 5V.
Exposed Pad (Pin 53): Ground. Solder this pad to ground.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The LTC2325-16 is a low noise, high speed 16-bit succes-
sive approximation register (SAR) ADC with differential
inputs and a wide input common mode range. Operating
from a single 3.3V or 5V supply, the LTC2325-16 has a
4VP-P or 8VP-P differential input range, making it ideal for
applications which require a wide dynamic range. The
LTC2325-16 achieves ±2LSB INL typical, no missing codes
at 16 bits and 82dB SNR.
The LTC2325-16 has an onboard reference buffer and low
drift (20ppm/°C max) 4.096V temperature-compensated
reference. The LTC2325-16 also has a high speed SPI-
compatible serial interface that supports CMOS or LVDS.
The fast 5Msps per channel throughput with one-cycle
latency makes the LTC2325-16 ideally suited for a wide
variety of high speed applications. The LTC2325-16 dis-
sipates only 40mW per channel. Nap and sleep modes
are also provided to reduce the power consumption
of the LTC2325-16 during inactive periods for further
power savings.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2325-16 operates in two phases. During the ac-
quisition phase, the sample capacitor is connected to the
analog input pins AIN+ and AIN– to sample the differential
analog input voltage, as shown in Figure 3. A falling 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 fractions of the reference volt-
age (e.g., VREFOUT/2, VREFOUT/4 … VREFOUT/32768) using
a differential comparator. At the end of conversion, a CDAC
output approximates the sampled analog input. The ADC
control logic then prepares the 16-bit digital output code
for serial transfer.
TRANSFER FUNCTION
The LTC2325-16 digitizes the full-scale voltage of 2 ×
REFOUT1,2,3,4 into 216 levels, resulting in an LSB size of
125µV with REF = 4.096V. The ideal transfer function is
shown in Figure 2. The output data is in 2’s complement
format.
Analog Input
The differential inputs of the LTC2325-16 provide great
flexibility to convert a wide variety of analog signals with
no configuration required. The LTC2325-16 digitizes the
difference voltage between the AIN+ and AIN– pins while
supporting a wide common mode input range. The analog
input signals can have an arbitrary relationship to each
other, provided that they remain between VDD and GND.
The LTC2325-16 can also digitize more limited classes of
analog input signals such as pseudo-differential unipolar/
bipolar and fully differential with no configuration required.
The analog inputs of the LTC2325-16 can be modeled
by the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 3. The back-
to-back diodes at the inputs form clamps that provide
ESD protection. In the acquisition phase, 10pF (CIN)

ADC core draw a small current spike while charging the
CIN capacitors during acquisition.
Single-Ended Signals
Single-ended signals can be directly digitized by the
LTC2325-16. These signals should be sensed pseudo-
differentially for improved common mode rejection. By
connecting the reference signal (e.g., ground sense) of
the main analog signal to the other AIN pin, any noise or
disturbance common to the two signals will be rejected
by the high CMRR of the ADC. The LTC2325-16 flexibility
handles both pseudo-differential unipolar and bipolar
signals, with no configuration required. The wide common
mode input range relaxes the accuracy requirements of
any signal conditioning circuits prior to the analog inputs.
Pseudo-Differential Bipolar Input Range
The pseudo-differential bipolar configuration represents
driving one of the analog inputs at a fixed voltage, typically
VREF/2, and applying a signal to the other AIN pin. In this
case the analog input swings symmetrically around the
fixed input yielding bipolar two’s complement output codes
with an ADC span of half of full-scale. This configuration
is illustrated in Figure 4, and the corresponding transfer
function in Figure 5. The fixed analog input pin need not
be set at VREF/2, but at some point within the VDD rails
allowing the alternate input to swing symmetrically around
this voltage. If the input signal (AIN+ – AIN–) swings beyond
±REFOUT1,2,3,4/2, valid codes will be generated by the
ADC and must be clamped by the user, if necessary.

Pseudo-Differential Unipolar Input Range
The pseudo-differential unipolar configuration represents
driving one of the analog inputs at ground and applying a
signal to the other AIN pin. In this case, the analog input
swings between ground and VREF yielding unipolar two’s
complement output codes with an ADC span of half of
full-scale. This configuration is illustrated in Figure 6, and
the corresponding transfer function in Figure 7. If the input
signal (AIN+ – AIN–) swings negative, valid codes will be

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion
While single-ended signals can be directly digitized as pre-
viously discussed, single-ended to differential conversion
circuits may also be used when higher dynamic range is
desired. By producing a differential signal at the inputs of
the LTC2325-16, the signal swing presented to the ADC is
maximized, thus increasing the achievable SNR.
The LT
®
1819 high speed dual operational amplifier is
recommended for performing single-ended-to-differential
conversions, as shown in Figure 8. In this case, the first
amplifier is configured as a unity-gain buffer and the
single-ended input signal directly drives the high imped-
ance input of this amplifier.
Fully-Differential Inputs
To achieve the best distortion performance of the
LTC2325-16, we recommend driving a fully-differential
signal through LT1819 amplifiers configured as two
unity-gain buffers, as shown in Figure 9. This circuit
achieves the full data sheet THD specification of –88dB at
input frequencies up to 500kHz. A fully-differential input
signal can span the maximum full-scale of the ADC, up to
±REFOUT1,2,3,4. The common mode input voltage can
span the entire supply range up to VDD, limited by the
input signal swing. The fully-differential configuration is
illustrated in Figure 10, with the corresponding transfer
function illustrated in Figure 11.
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
A low impedance source can directly drive the high im-
pedance inputs of the LTC2325-16 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 inputs
draw a current spike when during acquisition.
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used to
drive the analog inputs of the LTC2325-16. 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 inputs, which draw a small
current spike during acquisition.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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 12 is sufficient for many applications.
The 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 110MHz. 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.

ADC REFERENCE
Internal Reference
The LTC2325-16 has an on-chip, low noise, low
drift(20ppm/°C max), temperature compensated band-
gap reference. It is internally buffered and is available
at REF (Pin8). The reference buffer gains the internal
reference voltage to 4.096V for supply voltages VDD = 5V
and to 2.048V for VDD = 3.3V. The REF pin also drives
the four internal reference buffers with a current limited
output(250μA) so it may be easily overdriven with an
external reference in the range of 1.25V to 5V. Bypass
REF to GND with a 1μF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor
to compensate the reference buffer and minimize noise.
The 1μF capacitor should be as close as possible to the
LTC2325-16 package to minimize wiring inductance. The
voltage on the REF pin must be externally buffered if used
for external circuitry.

The internal REFOUT1,2,3,4 buffers can also be over-

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response
The REFOUT1,2,3,4 pins of the LTC2325-16 draw charge
(QCONV) from the external bypass capacitors 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 IREF = QCONV/tCYC.
Thus, the DC current draw of IREFOUT1,2,3,4 depends
on the sampling rate and output code. In applications
where a burst of samples is taken after idling for long
periods, as shown in Figure 14 , IREFBUF quickly goes
from approximately ~75µA to a maximum of 500µA for
REFOUT = 5V at 5Msps. 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
REFOUT will affect the accuracy of the output code. Due
to the one-cycle conversion latency, the first conversion
result at the beginning of a burst sampling period will
be invalid. If an external reference is used to overdrive
REFOUT1,2,3,4, the fast settling LTC6655 reference is
recommended.
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 LTC2325-16 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 bandlimited
to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling
frequency. Figure 16 shows that the LTC2325-16 achieves
a typical SINAD of 81dB at a 5MHz sampling rate with a
2.2MHz 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 16 shows
that the LTC2325-16 achieves a typical SNR of 82dB at a
5MHz sampling rate with a 2.2MHz 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+…+ VN

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 LTC2325-16 requires two power supplies: the 3.3V
to 5V power supply (VDD), and the digital input/output
interface power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply
allows the LTC2325-16 to communicate with any digital
logic operating between 1.8V and 2.5V. When using LVDS
I/O, the OVDD supply must be set to 2.5V.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2325-16 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 LTC2325-16
has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2325-16 at initial power-up or whenever the power
supply voltage drops below 2V. Once the supply voltage
re-enters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR will
reinitialize the ADC. No conversions should be initiated
until 10ms after a POR event to ensure the reinitialization
period has ended. Any conversions initiated before this
time will produce invalid results.

TIMING AND CONTROL
CNV Timing
The LTC2325-16 sampling and conversion is controlled
by CNV. A rising edge on CNV will start sampling and the
falling edge starts the conversion and readout process. The
conversion process is timed by the SCK input clock. For
optimum performance, CNV should be driven by a clean
low jitter signal. The Typical Application at the back of the
data sheet illustrates a recommended implementation to
reduce the relatively large jitter from an FPGA CNV pulse
source. Note the low jitter input clock times the falling
edge of the CNV signal. The rising edge jitter of CNV is
much less critical to performance. The typical pulse width
of the CNV signal is 30ns with < 1.5ns rise and fall times
at a 5Msps conversion rate.
SCK Serial Data Clock Input
In SDR mode (SDR/DDR Pin 23 = GND), the falling edge
of this clock shifts the conversion result MSB first onto
the SDO pins. A 100MHz external clock must be applied
at the SCK pin to achieve 5Msps throughput using all four
SDO outputs. In DDR mode (SDR/DDR Pin 23 = OVDD),
each input edge of SCK shifts the conversion result MSB
first onto the SDO pins. A 50MHz external clock must be
applied at the SCK pin to achieve 5Msps throughput using
all five SDO1 through SDO4 outputs.
CLKOUT Serial Data Clock Output
The CLKOUT output provides a skew-matched clock to
latch the SDO output at the receiver. The timing skew
of the CLKOUT and SDO outputs are matched. For high
throughput applications, using CLKOUT instead of SCK to
capture the SDO output eases timing requirements at the
receiver. For low throughput speed applications, CLKOUT
can be disabled by tying Pin 34 to OVDD.
Nap/Sleep Modes
Nap mode is a method to save power without sacrificing
power-up delays for subsequent conversions. Sleep mode
has substantial power savings, but a power-up delay is
incurred to allow the reference and power systems to
become valid. To enter nap mode on the LTC2325-16,
the SCK signal must be held high or low and a series of
two CNV pulses must be applied. This is the case for both
CMOS and LVDS modes. The second rising edge of CNV
initiates the nap state. The nap state will persist until either
a single rising edge of SCK is applied, or further CNV pulses
are applied. The SCK rising edge will put the LTC2325-16
back into the operational (full-power) state. When in nap
mode, two additional pulses will put the LTC2325-16 in
sleep mode. When configured for CMOS I/O operation, a
single rising edge of SCK can return the LTC2325-16 into
operational mode. A 10ms delay is necessary after exiting
sleep mode to allow the reference buffer to recharge the
external filter capacitor. In LVDS mode, exit sleep mode
by supplying a fifth CNV pulse. The fifth pulse will return
the LTC2325-16 to operational mode, and further SCK
pulses will keep the part from re-entering nap and sleep
modes. The fifth SCK pulse also works in CMOS mode
as a method to exit sleep. In the absence of SCK pulses,
repetitive CNV pulses will cycle the LTC2325-16 between
operational, nap and sleep modes indefinitely.
Refer to the timing diagrams in Figure 18, Figure 19, Figure 20
and Figure 21 for more detailed timing information about
sleep and nap modes.

Figure 22. LTC2325-16 Using the LVDS Interface
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2325-16 features a serial digital interface that
is simple and straightforward to use. The flexible OVDD
supply allows the LTC2325-16 to communicate with any
digital logic operating between 1.8V and 2.5V. In addi-
tion to a standard CMOS SPI interface, the LTC2325-16
provides an optional LVDS SPI interface to support low
noise digital design. The CMOS /LVDS pin is used to select
the digital interface mode. The SCK input clock shifts the
conversion result MSB first on the SDO pins. CLKOUT
provides a skew-matched clock to latch the SDO output
at the receiver. The timing skew of the CLKOUT and SDO
outputs are matched. For high throughput applications,
using CLKOUT instead of SCK to capture the SDO output
eases timing requirements at the receiver. In CMOS mode,
use the SDO1 – SDO4, and CLKOUT pins as outputs. Use
the SCK pin as an input. In LVDS mode, use the SDOA+/
SDOA– through SDOD+/SDOD– and CLKOUT+/CLKOUT–
pins as differential outputs. Each LVDS lane yields one
channel worth of data: SDOA yields CH1 data, SDOB
yields CH2 data, SDOC yields CH3 data and SDOD yields
CH4 data. These pins must be differentially terminated
by an external 100Ω resistor at the receiver (FPGA).
The SCK+/SCK– pins are differential inputs and must be
terminated differentially by an external 100Ω resistor at
the receiver(ADC).
SDR/DDR Modes
The LTC2325-16 has an SDR (single data rate) and DDR
(double data rate) mode for reading conversion data from
the SDO pins. In both modes, CLKOUT is a delayed version
of SCK. In SDR mode, each negative edge of SCK shifts the
conversion data out the SDO pins. In DDR mode, each edge
of the SCK input shifts the conversion data out. In DDR
mode, the required SCK frequency is half of what is required
in SDR mode. Tie SDR/DDR to ground to configure for SDR
mode and to OVDD for DDR mode. The CLKOUT signal is
a delayed version of the SCK input and is phase aligned
with the SDO data. In SDR mode, the SDO transitions on
the falling edge of CLKOUT as illustrated in Figure 21.
We recommend using the rising edge of CLKOUT to latch
the SDO data into the FPGA register in SDR mode. In
DDR mode, the SDO transitions on each input edge of
SCK. We recommend using the CLKOUT rising and fall-
ing edges to latch the SDO data into the FPGA registers
in DDR mode. Since the CLKOUT and SDO data is phase
aligned, the SDO signals will need to be digitally delayed
in the FPGA to provide adequate setup and hold timing
margins in DDR mode.
BOARD LAYOUT
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2325-16,
a printed circuit board is recommended. Layout for the
printed circuit board (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 adjacent to analog signals or underneath
the ADC.
Supply bypass capacitors should be placed as close as
possible to the supply pins. Low impedance common re-
turns for these bypass capacitors are essential to the low
noise operation of the ADC. A single solid ground plane
is recommended for this purpose. When possible, screen
the analog input traces using ground.
Recommended Layout
For a detailed look at the reference design for this con-
verter, including schematics and PCB layout, please refer
to DC2395A, the evaluation kit for the LTC2325-16.
