DescripTion
Low Noise, 500ksps,
1-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs
The LT C
®
2302/LTC2306 are low noise, 500ksps, 1/2chan
nel, 12‑bit ADCs with an SPI/MICROWIRE compatible
serial interface. These ADCs include a fully differential
sample‑and‑hold circuit to reduce common mode noise.
The internal conversion clock allows the external serial
output data clock (SCK) to operate at any frequency up
to 40MHz.
The LTC2302/LTC2306 operate from a single 5V supply
and draw just 2.8mA at a sample rate of 500ksps. The
auto‑shutdown feature reduces the supply current to 14µA
at a sample rate of 1ksps.
The LTC2302/LTC2306 are packaged in a tiny 10‑pin 3mm
× 3mm DFN. The low power consumption and small size
make the LTC2302/LTC2306 ideal for battery‑operated
and portable applications, while the 4‑wire SPI compat
ible serial interface makes these ADCs a good match for
isolated or remote data acquisition systems.

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 ground with VDD
and OVDD
wired together (unless otherwise noted).
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above VDD,
they will be clamped by internal diodes. These products can handle input
currents greater than 100mA below ground or above VDD without latchup.
Note 4: VDD = 5V, OVDD = 5V, VREF = 4.096V, fSMPL = 500ksps, unless
otherwise specified.
Note 5: Linearity, offset and full‑scale specifications apply for a single‑
ended analog input with respect to GND for the LTC2306 and IN+ with
respect to IN tied to GND for the LTC2302.
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 and 1111 1111
1111. Unipolar zero error is the offset voltage measured from +0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000
0001.
Note 8: 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. Unipolar full‑scale error is the deviation of the last code
transition from ideal and includes the effect of offset error.
Note 9: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 10: All specifications in dB are referred to a full‑scale ±2.048V input
with a 4.096V reference voltage.
Note 11: Full linear bandwidth is defined as the full‑scale input frequency
at which the SINAD degrades to 60dB or 10 bits of accuracy.

LTC2302
SDO (Pin 1): Three‑State Serial Data Out. SDO outputs
the data from the previous conversion. SDO is shifted
out serially on the falling edge of each SCK pulse. SDO is
enabled by a low level on CONVST.
CONVST (Pin 2): Conversion Start. A rising edge at
CONVST begins a conversion. For best performance,
ensure that CONVST returns low within 40ns after the
conversion starts or after the conversion ends.
VDD (Pin 3): 5V Supply. The range of VDD is 4.75V to 5.25V.
Bypass VDD to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor and a
10µF tantalum capacitor in parallel.
IN+, IN (Pin 4, Pin 5): Positive (IN+) and Negative (IN)
Differential Analog Inputs.
VREF (Pin 6): Reference Input. Connect an external refer
ence at VREF
. The range of the external reference is 0.1V
to VDD. Bypass to GND with a minimum 10µF tantalum

Overview
The LTC2302/LTC2306 are low noise, 500ksps, 1‑/2‑chan
nel, 12‑bit successive approximation register (SAR) A/D
converters. The LTC2306 includes a 2‑channel analog
input multiplexer (MUX) while the LTC2302 includes an
input MUX that allows the polarity of the differential input
to be selected. Both ADCs include an SPI‑compatible se
rial port for easy data transfers and can operate in either
unipolar or bipolar mode. Unipolar mode should be used
for single‑ended operation with the LTC2306, since single‑
ended input signals are always referenced to GND. The
LTC2302/LTC2306 can be put into a power‑down sleep
mode during idle periods to save power.
Conversions are initiated by a rising edge on the CONVST
input. Once a conversion cycle has begun, it cannot be
restarted. Between conversions, a 6‑bit input word (DIN)
at the SDI input configures the MUX and programs vari
ous modes of operation. As the DIN bits are shifted in,
data from the previous conversion is shifted out on SDO.
After the 6 bits of the DIN word have been shifted in, the
ADC begins acquiring the analog input in preparation for
the next conversion as the rest of the data is shifted out.
The acquire phase requires a minimum time of 240ns
for the sample‑and‑hold capacitors to acquire the analog
input signal.
During the conversion, the internal 12‑bit capacitive
charge‑redistribution DAC output is sequenced through a
successive approximation algorithm by the SAR starting
from the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant
bit (LSB). The sampled input is successively compared with
binary weighted charges supplied by the capacitive DAC
using a differential comparator. At the end of a conver
sion, the DAC output balances the analog input. The SAR
contents (a 12‑bit data word) that represent the sampled
analog input are loaded into 12 output latches that allow
the data to be shifted out.
Programming the LTC2306 and LTC2302
The software compatible LTC2302/LTC2306/LTC2308
family features a 6‑bit DIN word to program various modes
of operation. Don’t care bits (X) are ignored. The SDI data
bits are loaded on the rising edge of SCK, with the S/D bit
loaded on the first rising edge (see Figure 6 in the Timing
and Control section). The input data word for the LTC2306
is defined as follows:
S/D O/S X X UNI X
S/D = SINGLE‑ENDED/DIFFERENTIAL BIT
O/S = ODD/SIGN BIT
UNI = UNIPOLAR/BIPOLAR BIT
X = DON’ T CARE
For the LTC2302, the input data word is defined as:
X O/S X X UNI X

Figure 1a. Example MUX Configurations
Figure 1b. Changing the MUX Assignment “On the Fly”
Analog Input Multiplexer
The analog input MUX is programmed by the S/D and O/S
bits of the DIN word for the LTC2306 and the O/S bit of the
DIN word for the LTC2302. Table 1 and Table 2 list MUX
configurations for all combinations of the configuration
bits. Figure 1a shows several possible MUX configurations
and Figure 1b shows how the MUX can be reconfigured
from one conversion to the next.
Driving the Analog Inputs
The analog inputs of the LTC2302/LTC2306 are easy to
drive. Each of the analog inputs of the LTC2306 (CH0
and CH1) can be used as a single‑ended input relative
to GND or as a differential pair. The analog inputs of the
LTC2302 (IN+, IN) are always configured as a differential
pair. Regardless of the MUX configuration, the “+” and “–”
inputs are sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted
signal that is common to both inputs will be reduced by
the common mode rejection of the sample‑and‑hold cir
cuit. 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, the ADC inputs can be driven directly.
Otherwise, more acquisition time should be allowed for a
source with higher impedance.

Figure 2b. Analog Input Equivalent Circuit for
Large Filter Capacitances
Figure 2a. Analog Input Equivalent Circuit
Reference
A low noise, stable reference is required to ensure full
performance. The LT
®
1790 and LT6660 are adequate
for most applications. The LT6660 is available in 2.5V,
3V, 3.3V and 5V versions, and the LT1790 is available in
1.25V, 2.048V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V, 4.096V and 5V versions.
The exceptionally low input noise allows the input range to
be optimized for the application by changing the reference
voltage. The VREF input must be decoupled with a 10µF
capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor, so verify that
the device providing the reference voltage is stable with
capacitive loads.
If the voltage reference is 5V and can supply 5mA, it can
be used for both VREF and VDD. VDD must be connected
to a clean analog supply, and a quiet 5V reference voltage
makes a convenient supply for this purpose.
Input Filtering
The noise and distortion of the input amplifier and other
circuitry must be considered since they will add to the ADC
noise and distortion. Therefore, 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.
The analog inputs of the LTC2302/LTC2306 can be modeled
as a 55pF capacitor (CIN) in series with a 100 resistor
(RON) as shown in Figure 2a. CIN gets switched to the
selected input once during each conversion. Large filter
RC time constants will slow the settling of the 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 acquisition time (tACQ) if DC
accuracy is important.
When using a filter with a large CFILTER value (e.g., 1µF),
the inputs do not completely settle and the capacitive in
put switching currents are averaged into a net DC current
(IDC). In this case, the analog input can be modeled by an
equivalent resistance (REQ = 1/(fSMPL CIN)) in series with
an ideal voltage source (VREF/2) as shown in Figure 2b.
The magnitude of the DC current is then approximately
IDC = (VIN VREF/2)/REQ, which is roughly proportional
to VIN. To prevent large DC drops across the resistor
RFILTER, a filter with a small resistor and large capacitor
should be chosen. When running at the minimum cycle
time of 2µs, the input current equals 106µA at VIN = 5V,
which amounts to a full‑scale error of 0.5LSB when using
a filter resistor (RFILTER) of 4.7. Applications requiring
lower sample rates can tolerate a larger filter resistor for
the same amount of full‑scale error.

Figure 3a. Optional RC Input Filtering for Single-Ended Input
Figure 3b. Optional RC Input Filtering for Differential Inputs
Figure 4. 1kHz Sine Wave 8192 Point FFT Plot (LTC2306)
Figures 3a and 3b show respective examples of input
filtering for single‑ended and differential inputs. For the
single‑ended case in Figure 3a, a 50 source resistor
and a 2000pF capacitor to ground on the input will limit
the input bandwidth to 1.6MHz. High quality capacitors
and resistors should be used in the RC filter 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.
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
algorithm, the ADC’s spectral content can be examined
for frequencies outside the fundamental.
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 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 4 shows a typical SINAD of 72.8dB with
a 500kHz sampling rate and a 1kHz input. A SNR of 73.2dB
can be achieved with the LTC2302/LTC2306.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS

band between DC and half the sampling frequency(fSMPL/2).
THD is expressed as:

Internal Conversion Clock
The internal conversion clock is factory trimmed to
achieve a typical conversion time (tCONV) of 1.3μs and a
maximum conversion time of 1.6μs over the full operating
temperature range. With a minimum acquisition time of
240ns, a throughput sampling rate of 500ksps is tested
and guaranteed.
Digital Interface
The LTC2302/LTC2306 communicate via a standard 4 wire
SPI compatible digital interface. The rising edge of CONVST
initiates a conversion. After the conversion is finished, pull
CONVST low to enable the serial output (SDO). The ADC
then shifts out the digital data in 2’s complement format
when operating in bipolar mode or in straight binary format
when in unipolar mode, based on the setting of the UNI bit.
For best performance, ensure that CONVST returns low
within 40ns after the conversion starts (i.e., before the first
bit decision) or after the conversion ends. If CONVST is
low when the conversion ends, the MSB bit will appear at
SDO at the end of the conversion and the ADC will remain
powered up.
Timing and Control
The start of a conversion is triggered by the rising edge
of CONVST. Once initiated, a new conversion cannot be
restarted until the current conversion is complete. Figures 6
and 7 show the timing diagrams for two different examples
of CONVST pulses. Example 1 (Figure 6) shows CONVST
staying HIGH after the conversion ends. If CONVST is high
after the tCONV period, the LTC2302/LTC2306 enter sleep
mode (see Sleep Mode for more details).
When CONVST returns low, the ADC wakes up and the
most significant bit (MSB) of the output data sequence
at SDO becomes valid after the serial data bus is enabled.
All other data bits from SDO transition on the falling edge
of each SCK pulse. Configuration data (DIN) is loaded into
the LTC2302/LTC2306 at SDI, starting with the first SCK
rising edge after CONVST returns low. The S/D bit is loaded
on the first SCK rising edge.
Example 2 (Figure 7) shows CONVST returning low be
fore the conversion ends. In this mode, the ADC and all
internal circuitry remain powered up. When the conver
sion is complete, the MSB of the output data sequence at
SDO becomes valid after the data bus is enabled. At this
point(tCONV 1.3µs after the rising edge of CONVST), puls‑
ing SCK will shift data out at SDO and load configuration
data (DIN) into the LTC2302/LTC2306 at SDI. The first
SCK rising edge loads the S/D bit. SDO transitions on the
falling edge of each SCK pulse.
Figures 8 and 9 are the transfer characteristics for the
bipolar and unipolar modes. Data is output at SDO in 2’s
complement format for bipolar readings or in straight
binary for unipolar readings.
Sleep Mode
The ADC enters sleep mode when CONVST is held high
after the conversion is complete (tCONV). The supply
current decreases to 7μA in sleep mode between conver
sions, thereby reducing the average power dissipation as
the sample rate decreases. For example, the LTC2302/
LTC2306 draw an average of 14µA with a 1ksps sampling
rate. The LTC2302/LTC2306 power down all circuitry when
in sleep mode.
Board Layout and Bypassing
To obtain the best performance, a printed circuit board with
a solid ground plane is required. Layout for the printed
circuit board should ensure digital and analog signal lines
are separated as much as possible. Care should be taken
not to run any digital signal alongside an analog signal. All
analog inputs should be shielded by GND. VREF and VDD
should be bypassed to the ground plane as close to the
pin as possible. Maintaining a low impedance path for the
common return of these bypass capacitors is essential to
the low noise operation of the ADC. These traces should be
as wide as possible. See Figure 5 for a suggested layout.
