FEATURES DESCRIPTION
16-Bit, 100ksps,
Sampling ADC
The LT C
®
1605 is a 100ksps, sampling 16-bit A/D converter
that draws only 55mW (typical) from a single 5V supply.
This easy-to-use device includes sample-and-hold, preci-
sion reference, switched capacitor successive approxima-
tion A/D and trimmed internal clock.
The LTC1605’s input range is an industry standard ±10V.
Maximum DC specs include ±2.0LSB INL and 16-bits no
missing codes over temperature. An external reference can
be used if greater accuracy over temperature is needed.
The ADC has a microprocessor compatible, 16-bit or two-
byte parallel output port. A convert start input and a data
ready signal (BUSY) ease connections to FIFOs, DSPs and
microprocessors.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Conversion Details
The LTC1605 uses a successive approximation algo-
rithm and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert
an analog signal to a 16-bit or two byte parallel output.
The ADC is 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 and R/C inputs.
At the start of conversion the successive approximation
register (SAR) is reset. Once a conversion cycle has begun
it cannot be restarted.
During the conversion, the internal 16-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, VIN is connected through the resistor divider to the
sample-and-hold capacitor during the acquire phase and
the comparator offset is nulled by the autozero switches.
In this acquire phase, a minimum delay of 2µs will provide
enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitor to acquire
the analog signal. During the convert phase, the autozero
switches open, putting the comparator into the compare
mode. The input switch switches CSAMPLE to ground,
injecting the analog input charge onto the summing junc-
tion. 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 VIN
input charge. The SAR contents (a 16-bit data word) that
represents the VIN are loaded into the 16-bit output latches.
Driving the Analog Inputs
The nominal input range for the LTC1605 is ±10V
or(±4•VREF) and the input is overvoltage protected to
±25V. The input impedance is typically 20kΩ, therefore, it
should be driven with a low impedance source. Wideband
noise coupling into the input can be minimized by placing
a 1000pF capacitor at the input as shown in Figure 2. An
NPO-type capacitor gives the lowest distortion. Place the
capacitor as close to the device input pin as possible. If
an amplifier is to be used to drive the input, care should
be taken to select an amplifier with adequate accuracy,
linearity and noise for the application. The following list
is a summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving
the LTC1605. More detailed information is available at
www.linear.com.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Internal Voltage Reference
The LTC1605 has an on-chip, temperature compensated,
curvature corrected, bandgap reference, which is factory
trimmed to 2.50V. The full-scale range of the ADC is
equal to (±4 • VREF) or nominally ±10V. The output of the
reference is connected to the input of a unity-gain buffer
through a 4k resistor (see Figure 3). The input to the buffer
or the output of the reference is available at REF (Pin 3).
The internal reference can be overdriven with an external
reference if more accuracy is needed. The buffer output
drives the internal DAC and is available at CAP (Pin 4). The
CAP pin can be used to drive a steady DC load of less than
2mA. Driving an AC load is not recommended because it
can cause the performance of the converter to degrade.
For minimum code transition noise the REF pin and the
CAP pin should each be decoupled with a capacitor to
filter wideband noise from the reference and the buffer
(2.2µF tantalum).
Offset and Gain Adjustments
The LTC1605 offset and full-scale errors have been trimmed
at the factory with the external resistors shown in Figure4.
This allows for external adjustment of offset and full scale in
applications where absolute accuracy is important. See Figure
5 for the offset and gain trim circuit. First adjust the offset
to zero by adjusting resistor R3. Apply an input voltage of
–152.6mV (–0.5LSB) and adjust R3 so the code is changing
between 1111 1111 1111 1111 and 0000 0000 0000 0000.
The gain error is trimmed by adjusting resistor R4. An input
voltage of 9.999542V (+FS – 1.5LSB) is applied to VIN and R4
is adjusted until the output code is changing between 0111
1111 1111 1110 and 0111 1111 1111 1111. Figure 6 shows
the bipolar transfer characteristic of the LTC1605.

DC Performance
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 7 the distribution of

10000 times. The distribution is Gaussian and the RMS
code transition is about 1LSB.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
Internal Clock
The ADC has an internal clock that is trimmed to achieve
a typical conversion time of 7µs. No external adjustments
are required and, with the typical acquisition time of 1µs,
throughput performance of 100ksps is assured.
Timing and Control
Conversion start and data read are controlled by two
digital inputs: CS and R/C. To start a conversion and put
the sample-and-hold into the hold mode bring CS and
R/C low for no less than 40ns. Once initiated it cannot be
restarted until the conversion is complete. Converter status
is indicated by the BUSY output and this is low while the
conversion is in progress.
There are two modes of operation. The first mode is shown
in Figure 8. The digital input R/C is used to control the
start of conversion. CS is tied low. When R/C goes low
the sample-and-hold goes into the hold mode and a con-
version is started. BUSY goes low and stays low during
the conversion and will go back high after the conversion
has been completed and the internal output shift registers
have been updated. R/C should remain low for no less than
40ns. During the time R/C is low the digital outputs are in
a Hi-Z state. R/C should be brought back high within 3µs
after the start of the conversion to ensure that no errors
occur in the digitized result. The second mode, shown in
Figure 9, uses the CS signal to control the start of a con-
version and the reading of the digital output. In this mode
the R/C input signal should be brought low no less than
10ns before the falling edge of CS. The minimum pulse
width for CS is 40ns. When CS falls, BUSY goes low and
will stay low until the end of the conversion. BUSY will go
high after the conversion has been completed. The new
data is valid when CS is brought back low again to initiate

a read. Again it is recommended that both R/C and CS
return high within 3µs after the start of the conversion.
Output Data
The output data can be read as a 16-bit word or it can be
read as two 8-bit bytes. The format of the output data is
two’s complement. The digital input pin BYTE is used to
control the two byte read. With the BYTE pin low the first
eight MSBs are output on the D15 to D8 pins and the
eight LSBs are output on the D7 to D0 pins. When the
BYTE pin is taken high the eight LSBs replace the eight
MSBs (Figure 10).
Dynamic Performance
FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) test 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 algo-
rithm, the ADC’s spectral content can be examined for
frequencies outside the fundamental. Figure 11 shows a
typical LTC1605 FFT plot which yields a SINAD of 87.5dB
and THD of –102dB.
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 11 shows a typical SINAD of 87.5dB with
a 100kHz sampling rate and a 1kHz input.
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.
Board Layout, Power Supplies and Decoupling
Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high reso-
lution or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best
performance from the LTC1605, a printed circuit board
is required. Layout for the printed circuit board 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 track alongside an analog signal
track or underneath the ADC. The analog input should be
screened by AGND.
Figures 12 through 15 show a layout for a suggested evalu-
ation circuit which will help obtain the best performance
from the 16-bit ADC. Pay particular attention to the design
of the analog and digital ground planes. The DGND pin
of the LTC1605 can be tied to the analog ground plane.
Placing the bypass capacitor as close as possible to the
power supply, the reference and reference buffer output is
very important. Low impedance common returns for these
bypass capacitors are essential to low noise operation of
the ADC, and the foil width for these tracks should be as
wide as possible. Also, since any potential difference in
grounds between the signal source and ADC appears as
an error voltage in series with the input signal, attention
should be paid to reducing the ground circuit impedance
as much as possible. The digital output latches and the
onboard sampling clock have been placed on the digital
ground plane. The two ground planes are tied together at
the power supply ground connection.
