Operating from a 5V supply and using the internal reference and buffer, each channel of this SoftSpanTM ADC can be independently configured on a conversion-by-conversion basis to accept 4.096V, 0V to 4.096V, 2.048V, or 0V to 2.048V signals. Individual channels may also be disabled to increase throughput on the remaining channels. nn The wide input common mode range and 102dB CMRR of the LTC2344-18 analog inputs allow the ADC to directly digitize a variety of signals, simplifying signal chain design. This input signal flexibility, combined with 4LSB INL, no missing codes at 18 bits, and 95dB SNR, makes the LTC2344-18 an ideal choice for many applications requiring wide dynamic range. The LTC2344-18 supports pin-selectable SPI CMOS (1.8V to 5V) and LVDS serial interfaces. Between one and four lanes of data output may be employed in CMOS mode, allowing the user to optimize bus width and throughput.

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. Note 3: VDDLBYP is the output of an internal voltage regulator, and should only be connected to a 2.2F ceramic capacitor to bypass the pin to GND, as described in the Pin Functions section. Do not connect this pin to any external circuitry. Note 4: When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above VDD or OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle currents of up to 100mA below ground or above VDD or OVDD without latch-up. Note 5: VDD = 5V unless otherwise specified. Note 6: Recommended operating conditions. Note 7: Exceeding these limits on any channel may corrupt conversion results on other channels. Refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings section for pin voltage limits related to device reliability. Note 8: VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, fSMPL = 400ksps, internal reference and buffer, fully differential input signal drive in SoftSpan ranges 7 and 6, bipolar input signal drive in SoftSpan ranges 3 and 2, unipolar input signal drive in SoftSpan ranges 5, 4 and 1, unless otherwise specified. Note 9: 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 10: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test. Note 11: For bipolar SoftSpan ranges 7, 6, 3, and 2, zero-scale error is the offset voltage measured from -0.5LSB when the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 11 1111 1111 1111 1111. Full-scale error for these SoftSpan ranges is the worst-case deviation of the first and last code transitions from ideal and includes the effect of offset error. For unipolar SoftSpan ranges 5, 4, and 1, zero-scale error is the offset voltage measured from 0.5LSB when the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 00 0000 0000 0000 0001. Fullscale error for these SoftSpan ranges is the worst-case deviation of the last code transition from ideal and includes the effect of offset error. Note 12: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale input in the relevant SoftSpan input range, except for crosstalk, which is referred to the crosstalk injection signal amplitude. Note 13: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum change in output voltage by the specified temperature range. Note 14: When REFBUF is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must be disabled by setting REFIN = 0V. Note 15: IREFBUF varies proportionally with sample rate and the number of active channels. Note 16: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V, OVDD = 2.5V, and OVDD = 5.25V. Note 17: A tSCKI period of 10ns minimum allows a shift clock frequency of up to 100MHz for rising edge capture. Note 18: VICM = 1.2V, VID = 350mV for LVDS differential input pairs.

The converter simultaneously samples and digitizes (VIN+ - VIN-) for all channels. Wide input common mode range (0V VCM VDD) and high common mode rejection allow the inputs to accept a wide variety of signal swings. Fullscale input range is determined by the channel's SoftSpan configuration. PD (Pin 13): Power Down Input. When this pin is brought high, the LTC2344-18 is powered down and subsequent conversion requests are ignored. If this occurs during a conversion, the device powers down once the conversion completes. If this pin is brought high twice without an intervening conversion, an internal global reset is initiated, equivalent to a power-on-reset event. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. GND (Pins 9, 11, 20, 29, 31, 32, 33): Ground. Solder all GND pins to a solid ground plane. LVDS/CMOS (Pin 14): I/O Mode Select. Tie this pin to OVDD to select LVDS I/O mode, or to ground to select CMOS I/O mode. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. REFIN (Pin 10): Bandgap Reference Output/Reference Buffer Input. An internal bandgap reference nominally outputs 2.048V on this pin. An internal reference buffer amplifies VREFIN to create the converter master reference voltage VREFBUF = 2 * VREFIN on the REFBUF pin. When using the internal reference, bypass REFIN to GND (Pin 11) close to the pin with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor to filter the bandgap output noise. If more accuracy is desired, overdrive REFIN with an external reference in the range of 1.25V to 2.2V. BUSY (Pin 26): Busy Output. The BUSY signal indicates that a conversion is in progress. This pin transitions lowto-high at the start of each conversion and stays high until the conversion is complete. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. REFBUF (Pin 12): Internal Reference Buffer Output. An internal reference buffer amplifies VREFIN to create the converter master reference voltage VREFBUF = 2 * VREFIN on this pin, nominally 4.096V when using the internal bandgap reference. Bypass REFBUF to GND (Pin 11) close to the pin with a 47F ceramic capacitor. The internal reference buffer may be disabled by grounding its input at REFIN. With the buffer disabled, overdrive REFBUF with an external reference voltage in the range of 2.5V to 5V. When using the internal reference buffer, limit the loading of any external circuitry connected to REFBUF to less than 10A. Using a high input impedance amplifier to buffer VREFBUF to any external circuits is recommended. CNV (Pin 15): Conversion Start Input. A rising edge on this pin puts the internal sample-and-holds into the hold mode and initiates a new conversion. CNV is not gated by CS, allowing conversions to be initiated independent of the state of the serial I/O bus. VDDLBYP (Pin 28): Internal 2.5V Regulator Bypass Pin. The voltage on this pin is generated via an internal regulator operating off of VDD. This pin must be bypassed to GND close to the pin with a 2.2F ceramic capacitor. Do not connect this pin to any external circuitry. VDD (Pin 30): 5V Power Supply. The range of VDD is 4.75V to 5.25V. This pin must be bypassed to GND close to the pin with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor. 234418f For more information www.linear.com/LTC2344-18 13 LTC2344-18 PIN FUNCTIONS CMOS I/O Mode LVDS I/O Mode SDI+ (Pin 16): LVDS Positive Serial Data Input. In CMOS I/O mode, this pin is Hi-Z. SDI+/SDI- (Pins 16, 17): LVDS Positive and Negative Serial Data Input. Differentially drive SDI+/SDI- with the desired 12-bit SoftSpan configuration word (see Table 1a), latched on both the rising and falling edges of SCKI+/SCKI-. The SDI+/SDI- input pair is internally terminated with a 100 differential resistor when CS = 0. SDO0 to SDO3 (Pins 17, 18, 23, 24): CMOS Serial Data Outputs, Channels 0 to 3. The most recent conversion result along with channel configuration information is clocked out onto the SDO pins on each rising edge of SCKI. Output data formatting is described in the Digital Interface section. Leave unused SDO outputs unconnected. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. SCKI (Pin 19): CMOS Serial Clock Input. Drive SCKI with the serial I/O clock. SCKI rising edges latch serial data in on SDI and clock serial data out on SDO0 to SDO3. For standard SPI bus operation, capture output data at the receiver on rising edges of SCKI. SCKI is allowed to idle either high or low. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. OVDD (Pin 21): I/O Interface Power Supply. In CMOS I/O mode, the range of OVDD is 1.71V to 5.25V. Bypass OVDD to GND (Pin 20) close to the pin with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor. SCKO (Pin 22): CMOS Serial Clock Output. SCKI rising edges trigger transitions on SCKO that are skew-matched to the serial output data streams on SDO0 to SDO3. The resulting SCKO frequency is half that of SCKI. Rising and falling edges of SCKO may be used to capture SDO data at the receiver (FPGA) in double data rate (DDR) fashion. For standard SPI bus operation, SCKO is not used and should be left unconnected. SCKO is forced low at the falling edge of BUSY. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. SDI (Pin 25): CMOS Serial Data Input. Drive this pin with the desired 12-bit SoftSpan configuration word (see Table 1a), latched on the rising edges of SCKI. If all channels will be configured to operate only in SoftSpan 7, tie SDI to OVDD. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. CS (Pin 27): Chip Select Input. The serial data I/O bus is enabled when CS is low and is disabled and Hi-Z when CS is high. CS also gates the external shift clock, SCKI. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. 14 SCKI+/SCKI- (Pins 18, 19): LVDS Positive and Negative Serial Clock Input. Differentially drive SCKI+/SCKI- with the serial I/O clock. SCKI+/SCKI- rising and falling edges latch serial data in on SDI+/SDI- and clock serial data out on SDO+/SDO-. Idle SCKI+/SCKI- low, including when transitioning CS. The SCKI+/SCKI- input pair is internally terminated with a 100 differential resistor when CS = 0. OVDD (Pin 21): I/O Interface Power Supply. In LVDS I/O mode, the range of OVDD is 2.375V to 5.25V. Bypass OVDD to GND (Pin 20) close to the pin with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor. SCKO+/SCKO- (Pins 22, 23): LVDS Positive and Negative Serial Clock Output. SCKO+/SCKO- outputs a copy of the input serial I/O clock received on SCKI+/SCKI-, skewmatched with the serial output data stream on SDO+/SDO-. Use the rising and falling edges of SCKO+/SCKO- to capture SDO+/SDO- data at the receiver (FPGA). The SCKO+/ SCKO- output pair must be differentially terminated with a 100 resistor at the receiver (FPGA). SDO+/SDO- (Pins 24, 25): LVDS Positive and Negative Serial Data Output. The most recent conversion result along with channel configuration information is clocked out onto SDO+/SDO- on both rising and falling edges of SCKI+/SCKI-, beginning with channel 0. The SDO+/SDO- output pair must be differentially terminated with a 100 resistor at the receiver (FPGA). CS (Pin 27): Chip Select Input. The serial data I/O bus is enabled when CS is low, and is disabled and Hi-Z when CS is high. CS also gates the external shift clock, SCKI+/ SCKI-. The internal 100 differential termination resistors on the SCKI+/SCKI- and SDI+/SDI- input pairs are disabled when CS is high. Logic levels are determined by OVDD. 234418f For more information www.linear.com/LTC2344-18 LTC2344-18 CONFIGURATION TABLES Table 1a. SoftSpan Configuration Table.

Using the integrated low-drift reference and buffer (VREFBUF = 4.096V nominal), each channel of this SoftSpan ADC can be independently configured on a conversionby-conversion basis to accept 4.096V, 0V to 4.096V, 2.048V, or 0V to 2.048V signals. The input signal range may be expanded up to 5V using an external 5V reference. Individual channels may also be disabled to increase throughput on the remaining channels. The wide input common mode range and high CMRR (102dB typical, VIN+ = VIN- = 3.6VP-P 200Hz Sine) of the LTC2344-18 analog inputs allow the ADC to directly digitize a variety of signals, simplifying signal chain design. This input signal flexibility, combined with 4LSB INL, no missing codes at 18-bits, and 95dB SNR, makes the LTC2344-18 an ideal choice for many applications requiring wide dynamic range. The LTC2344-18 supports pin-selectable SPI CMOS (1.8V to 5V) and LVDS serial interfaces, enabling it to communicate equally well with legacy microcontrollers and modern FPGAs. In CMOS mode, applications may employ between one and four lanes of serial output data, allowing the user to optimize bus width and data throughput. The LTC2344-18 typically dissipates 81mW when converting four analog input channels simultaneously at 400ksps per channel throughput. An optional power-down mode may be employed to further reduce power consumption during inactive periods. CONVERTER OPERATION The LTC2344-18 operates in two phases. During the acquisition phase, the sampling capacitors in each channel's sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit connect to their respective analog input pins and track the differential analog input voltage (VIN+ - VIN-). A rising edge on the CNV pin transi- 20 tions all channels' S/H circuits from track mode to hold mode, simultaneously sampling the input signals on all channels and initiating a conversion. During the conversion phase, each channel's sampling capacitors are connected, one channel at a time, to an 18-bit charge redistribution capacitor D/A converter (CDAC). The CDAC is sequenced through a successive approximation algorithm, effectively comparing the sampled input voltage with binary-weighted fractions of the channel's SoftSpan full-scale range (e.g., VFSR/2, VFSR/4 ... VFSR/262144) using a differential comparator. At the end of this process, the CDAC output approximates the channel's sampled analog input. Once all channels have been converted in this manner, the ADC control logic prepares the 18-bit digital output codes from each channel for serial transfer. TRANSFER FUNCTION The LTC2344-18 digitizes each channel's full-scale voltage range into 218 levels. In conjunction with the ADC master reference voltage, VREFBUF, a channel's SoftSpan configuration determines its input voltage range, full-scale range, LSB size, and the binary format of its conversion result, as shown in Tables 1a and 1b. For example, employing the internal reference and buffer (VREFBUF = 4.096V nominal), SoftSpan 7 configures a channel to accept a 4.096V bipolar analog input voltage range, which corresponds to a 8.192V full-scale range with a 31.25V LSB. Other SoftSpan configurations and reference voltages may be employed to convert both larger and smaller bipolar and unipolar input ranges. Conversion results are output in two's complement binary format for all bipolar SoftSpan ranges, and in straight binary format for all unipolar SoftSpan ranges. The ideal two's complement transfer function is shown in Figure 2, while the ideal straight binary transfer function is shown in Figure 3. 234418f For more information www.linear.com/LTC2344-18 LTC2344-18 OUTPUT CODE (TWO'S COMPLEMENT) APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 011...111 BIPOLAR ZERO 011...110 000...001 000...000 111...111 111...110 100...001 FSR = +FS - -FS 1LSB = FSR/262144 100...000 -FSR/2 -1 0V 1 FSR/2 - 1LSB LSB LSB INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 234418 F02 OUTPUT CODE (STRAIGHT BINARY) Figure 2.

This feature of the LTC2344-18 enables it to accept a wide variety of signal swings, including traditional classes of analog input signals such as pseudo-differential unipolar, pseudodifferential bipolar, and fully differential, simplifying signal chain design. In all SoftSpan ranges, each channel's analog inputs can be modeled by the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 4. At the start of acquisition, the 80pF sampling capacitors (CIN) connect to the analog input pins IN+/IN- through the sampling switches, each of which has approximately 90 (RIN) of on-resistance. The initial voltage on both sampling capacitors at the start of acquisition is approximately equal to the sampled common-mode voltage (VIN+ + VIN-)/2 from the prior conversion. The external circuitry connected to IN+ and IN- must source or sink the charge that flows through RIN as the sampling capacitors settle from their initial voltages to the new input pin voltages over the course of the acquisition interval. During conversion and power down modes, the analog inputs draw only a small leakage current. The diodes at the inputs provide ESD protection. FSR - 1LSB INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 234418 F03 VDD Figure 3.

These SoftSpan ranges are useful for digitizing input signals where IN+ and IN- swing above and below each other. Traditional examples include fully differential input signals, where IN+ and IN- are driven 180 degrees out-of-phase with respect to each other centered around a common mode voltage (VIN+ + VIN-)/2, and pseudo-differential bipolar input signals, where IN+ swings above and below a reference level, driven on IN-. Regardless of the chosen SoftSpan range, the wide common mode input range and high CMRR of the IN+/IN- analog inputs allow them to swing with an arbitrary relationship to each other, provided each pin remains between ground and VDD. The output data format for all bipolar SoftSpan ranges is two's complement. The LTC2344-18 sampling network RC time constant of 7.2ns implies an 18-bit settling time to a full-scale step of approximately 13 * (RIN * CIN) = 94ns. The impedance and self-settling of external circuitry connected to the analog input pins will increase the overall settling time required. Low impedance sources can directly drive the inputs of the LTC2344-18 without gain error, but high impedance sources should be buffered to ensure sufficient settling during acquisition and to optimize the linearity and distortion performance of the ADC. Settling time is an important consideration even for DC input signals, as the voltages on the sampling capacitors will differ from the analog input pin voltages at the start of acquisition. Most applications should use a buffer amplifier to drive the analog inputs of the LTC2344-18. The amplifier provides low output impedance, enabling fast settling of the analog signal during the acquisition phase. It also provides isolation between the signal source and the charge flow at the analog inputs when entering acquisition. Unipolar SoftSpan Input Ranges Input Filtering For channels configured in SoftSpan ranges 5, 4, or 1, the LTC2344-18 digitizes the differential analog input voltage (VIN+ - VIN-) over a unipolar span of 0V to VREFBUF, 0V to VREFBUF/1.024, or 0V to 0.5 * VREFBUF, respectively, as shown in Table 1a. These SoftSpan ranges are useful for digitizing input signals where IN+ remains above IN-. A traditional example includes pseudo-differential unipolar input signals, where IN+ swings above a ground reference level, driven on IN-. Regardless of the chosen SoftSpan range, the wide common mode range and high CMRR of the IN+/IN- analog inputs allow them to swing with an arbitrary relationship to each other, provided each pin remains between ground and VDD. The output data format for all unipolar SoftSpan ranges is straight binary. The noise and distortion of an input buffer amplifier and other supporting circuitry must be considered since they add to the ADC noise and distortion. Noisy input signals should be filtered prior to the buffer amplifier with a lowbandwidth filter to minimize noise. The simple one-pole RC lowpass filter shown in Figure 5 is sufficient for many applications. INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS The initial voltage on each channel's sampling capacitors at the start of acquisition must settle to the new input pin voltages during the acquisition interval. The external circuitry connected to IN+ and IN- must source or sink the charge that flows through RIN as this settling occurs. 22 At the output of the buffer, a lowpass RC filter network formed by the 90 sampling switch on-resistance (RIN) and the 80pF sampling capacitance (CIN) limits the input bandwidth on each channel to 22MHz, which is fast enough to allow for sufficient transient settling during acquisition while simultaneously filtering driver wideband noise. A buffer amplifier with low noise density should be selected to minimize SNR degradation over this bandwidth. An additional filter network may be placed between the buffer output and ADC input to further minimize the noise contribution of the buffer and reduce disturbances to the buffer from ADC acquisition transients. A simple one-pole lowpass RC filter is sufficient for many applications. It is important that the RC time constant of this filter be small 234418f For more information www.linear.com/LTC2344-18 LTC2344-18 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION LOWPASS SIGNAL FILTER UNIPOLAR INPUT SIGNAL 5V 160 + BUFFER AMPLIFIER - 10nF IN0+ IN0- LTC2344-18 0V BW = 100kHz ONLY CHANNEL 0 SHOWN FOR CLARITY 234418 F05 Figure 5. Unipolar Signal Chain with Input Filtering enough to allow the analog inputs to completely settle to 18-bit resolution within the ADC acquisition time (tACQ), as insufficient settling can limit INL and THD performance. Also note that the minimum acquisition time varies with sampling frequency (fSMPL) and the number of enabled channels. High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in the RC filters since these components can add distortion. NPO/COG 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. Buffering Arbitrary and Fully Differential Analog Input Signals The wide common mode input range and high CMRR of the LTC2344-18 allow each channel's IN+ and IN- pins to swing with an arbitrary relationship to each other, provided each pin remains between ground and VDD. This unique feature of the LTC2344-18 enables it to accept a wide variety of signal swings, simplifying signal chain design. In many applications, connecting a channel's IN+ and IN- pins directly to the existing signal chain circuitry will not allow the channel's sampling network to settle to 18-bit resolution within the ADC acquisition time (tACQ). In these cases, it is recommended that two unity-gain buffers be inserted between the signal source and the ADC input pins, as shown in Figure 6a. Table 2 lists several amplifier and lowpass filter combinations recommended for use in this circuit. The LT6237 combines fast settling, high linearity, and low offset with 1.1nV/Hz input-referred noise density, enabling it to achieve the full ADC data sheet SNR and THD specifications, as shown in the FFT plots in Figures 6b to 6e. In applications where slightly degraded SNR performance is acceptable, it is possible to drive the LTC2344-18 using the lower-power LT6234. The LT6234 combines fast settling, good linearity, and low offset with 1.9nV/Hz input-referred noise density, enabling it to drive the LTC2344-18 with 1.9dB SNR loss compared with the LT6237 when a 24.9, 1nF filter is employed. As shown in Table 2, the LT6237 may be used without a lowpass filter at a loss of 1dB SNR due to increased wideband noise. Table 2.

Figure 7 depicts one way of using the LTC2344-18 to digitize signals of this type. Two channels of the LTC2344-18 simultaneously sense the voltage on and bidirectional current through a sense resistor over a wide common mode range. In many applications of this type, the impedance of the external circuitry is low enough that the ADC sampling network can fully settle without buffering. The common mode input range of the LTC2344-18 includes VDD, allowing the circuit shown in Figure 8a to amplify and measure a load current (ILOAD) from a single 5V supply. Figure 8b shows a measured transient supply current step of an LTC3207 LED driver load. Note the LTC6252 supplies limit the usable current sense range of this circuit to 50mA to 450mA. Figure 9a illustrates a more general method of amplifying an input signal. The amplifier stage provides a differential gain of approximately 10V/V to the desired sensor signal while the unwanted common mode signal is attenuated by the ADC CMRR. Figure 9b shows measured CMRR performance of this solution, which is competitive with the best commercially available instrumentation amplifiers.

Together, these signals sweep the analog inputs across a wide range of common mode and differential mode voltage combinations, similar to the more general arbitrary input signal case. They also have a simple spectral representation. An ideal differential converter with no common-mode sensitivity will digitize this signal as two -7dBFS spectral tones, one at each sine wave frequency. The FFT plot in Figure 6b demonstrates the LTC2344-18 response approaches this ideal, with 118dB of SFDR limited by the converter's second harmonic distortion response to the 2kHz sine wave on IN+. 140 120 100 80 0 10 20 30 40 TIME (s) 50 60 234418 F08b Figure 8b.

The reference buffer amplifies VREFIN to create the converter master reference voltage VREFBUF = 2 * VREFIN on the REFBUF pin, nominally 4.096V when using the internal bandgap reference. Bypass REFBUF to GND (Pin 11) close to the pin with at least a 47F ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size or X5R, 10V, 0805 size) to compensate the reference buffer, absorb transient conversion currents, and minimize noise. LTC2344-18 20k REFIN 0.1F REFBUF 47F BANDGAP REFERENCE REFERENCE BUFFER 6.5k External Reference with Internal Buffer If more accuracy and/or lower drift is desired, REFIN can be easily overdriven by an external reference since 20k of resistance separates the internal bandgap reference output from the REFIN pin, as shown in Figure 11b. The valid range of external reference voltage overdrive on the REFIN pin is 1.25V to 2.2V, resulting in converter master reference voltages VREFBUF between 2.5V and 4.4V, respectively. Linear Technology offers a portfolio of high performance references designed to meet the needs of many applications. With its small size, low power, and high accuracy, the LTC6655-2.048 is well suited for use with the LTC2344-18 when overdriving the internal reference. The LTC6655-2.048 offers 0.025% (maximum) initial accuracy and 2ppm/C (maximum) temperature coefficient for high precision applications. The LTC6655-2.048 is fully specified over the H-grade temperature range, complementing the extended temperature range of the LTC2344-18 up to 125C. Bypassing the LTC6655-2.048 with a 2.7F to 100F ceramic capacitor close to the REFIN pin is recommended. 6.5k External Reference with Disabled Internal Buffer GND 234418 F11a Figure 11a. Internal Reference with Internal Buffer Configuration The internal reference buffer supports VREFBUF = 4.4V maximum.

External Reference with Disabled Internal Buffer Configuration in Figure 11c. Maximum input signal swing and SNR are achieved by overdriving REFBUF using an external 5V reference. The buffer feedback resistors load the REFBUF pin with 13k even when the reference buffer is disabled. The LTC6655-5 offers the same small size, accuracy, drift, and extended temperature range as the LTC6655-2.048, and achieves a typical SNR of 96.5dB when paired with the LTC2344-18. Bypass the LTC6655-5 to GND (Pin 11) close to the REFBUF pin with at least a 47F ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size or X5R, 10V, 0805 size) to absorb transient conversion currents and minimize noise. The LTC2344-18 converter draws a charge (QCONV) from the REFBUF pin during each conversion cycle. On short time scales most of this charge is supplied by the external REFBUF bypass capacitor, but on longer time scales all of the charge is supplied by either the reference buffer, or when the internal reference buffer is disabled, the external reference. This charge draw corresponds to a DC current equivalent of IREFBUF = QCONV * fSMPL, which is proportional to sample rate. In applications where a burst of samples is taken after idling for long periods of time, as shown in Figure 12, IREFBUF quickly transitions from approximately 0.4mA to 1.5mA (VREFBUF = 5V, fSMPL = 400kHz). This current step triggers a transient response in the external reference that must be considered, since any deviation in VREFBUF affects converter accuracy. If an external reference is used to overdrive REFBUF, the fast settling LTC6655 family of references is recommended. Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response For optimum performance in applications employing burst sampling, the external reference with internal reference buffer configuration should be used. The internal reference buffer incorporates a proprietary design that minimizes movements in VREFBUF when responding to a burst of CNV IDLE PERIOD IDLE PERIOD 234418 F12 Figure 12.

Burst Conversion Response of the LTC2344-18, fSMPL = 400ksps 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 frequencies outside the fundamental. The LTC2344-18 provides guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise measurements. 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 14 shows that the LTC2344-18 achieves a typical SNR of 95.3dB in the 4.096V range at a 400kHz sampling rate with a fully differential 2kHz input signal. 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: 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 band-limited 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, respectively.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS The LTC2344-18 provides two power supply pins: the 5V core power supply (VDD) and the digital input/output (I/O) interface power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply allows the LTC2344-18 to communicate with CMOS logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and 3.3V systems. When using LVDS I/O mode, the range of OVDD is 2.375V to 5.25V. Power Supply Sequencing The LTC2344-18 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 LTC2344-18 has an internal power-on-reset (POR) circuit which resets the converter on initial power-up and whenever VDD drops below 2V. Once the supply voltage re-enters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR reinitializes the ADC. No conversions should be initiated until at least 10ms after a POR event to ensure the initialization period has ended. When employing the internal reference buffer, allow 200ms for the buffer to power up and recharge the REFBUF bypass capacitor. Any conversion initiated before these times will produce invalid results. TIMING AND CONTROL CNV Timing The LTC2344-18 sampling and conversion is controlled by CNV. A rising edge on CNV transitions all channels' S/H circuits from track mode to hold mode, simultaneously sampling the input signals on all channels and initiating a conversion. Once a conversion has been started, it cannot be terminated early except by resetting the ADC, as discussed in the Reset Timing section. For optimum performance, drive CNV with a clean, low jitter signal and 30 avoid transitions on data I/O lines leading up to the rising edge of CNV. Additionally, to minimize channel-to-channel crosstalk, avoid high slew rates on the analog inputs for 100ns before and after the rising edge of CNV. Converter status is indicated by the BUSY output, which transitions low-to-high at the start of each conversion and stays high until the conversion is complete. Once CNV is brought high to begin a conversion, it should be returned low between 40ns and 60ns later or after the falling edge of BUSY to minimize external disturbances during the internal conversion process. If CNV is returned low after the falling edge of BUSY, it should be held low for at least 390ns before bringing it high again, since the converter acquisition time (tACQ) is set by the CNV low time (tCNVL) in this case. Internal Conversion Clock The LTC2344-18 has an internal clock that is trimmed to achieve a maximum conversion time of 525 * N - 20ns with N channels enabled. With a minimum acquisition time of 390ns when converting four channels simultaneously, throughput performance of 400ksps is guaranteed without any external adjustments. Power Down Mode When PD is brought high, the LTC2344-18 is powered down and subsequent conversion requests are ignored. If this occurs during a conversion, the device powers down once the conversion completes. In this mode, the device draws only a small regulator standby current resulting in a typical power dissipation of 0.33mW. To exit power down mode, bring the PD pin low and wait at least 10ms before initiating a conversion. When employing the internal reference buffer, allow 200ms for the buffer to power up and recharge the REFBUF bypass capacitor. Any conversion initiated before these times will produce invalid results. Reset Timing A global reset of the LTC2344-18, equivalent to a poweron-reset event, may be executed without needing to cycle the supplies. This feature is useful when recovering from system-level events that require the state of the entire sys- 234418f For more information www.linear.com/LTC2344-18 LTC2344-18 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION tem to be reset to a known synchronized value. To initiate a global reset, bring PD high twice without an intervening conversion, as shown in Figure 15. The reset event is triggered on the second rising edge of PD, and asynchronously ends based on an internal timer. Reset clears all serial data output registers and restores the internal SoftSpan configuration register default state of all channels in SoftSpan 7. If reset is triggered during a conversion, the conversion is immediately halted. The normal power down behavior associated with PD going high is not affected by reset. Once PD is brought low, wait at least 10ms before initiating a conversion. When employing the internal reference buffer, allow 200ms for the buffer to power up and recharge the REFBUF bypass capacitor. Any conversion initiated before these times will produce invalid results. 18 SUPPLY CURRENT (mA) 16 14 IVDD 12 10 8 6 4 IOVDD 2 0 0 100 200 300 SAMPLING FREQUENCY (kHz) 400 234418 F16 Figure 16. Power Dissipation of the LTC2344-18 Decreases with Decreasing Sampling Frequency Auto Nap Mode DIGITAL INTERFACE The LTC2344-18 automatically enters nap mode after a conversion has finished and completely powers up once a new conversion is initiated on the rising edge of CNV. Auto nap mode causes the power dissipation of the LTC234418 to decrease as the sampling frequency is reduced, as shown in Figure 16. This decrease in average power dissipation occurs because a portion of the LTC2344-18 circuitry is turned off during nap mode, and the fraction of the conversion cycle (tCYC) spent napping increases as the sampling frequency (fSMPL) is decreased. The LTC2344-18 features CMOS and LVDS serial interfaces, selectable using the LVDS/CMOS pin. The flexible OVDD supply allows the LTC2344-18 to communicate with any CMOS logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and 3.3V systems, while the LVDS interface supports low noise digital designs.

Serial CMOS I/O Mode throughput. Together, these I/O interface options enable the LTC2344-18 to communicate equally well with legacy microcontrollers and modern FPGAs. Serial CMOS I/O Mode As shown in Figure 17, in CMOS I/O mode the serial data bus consists of a serial clock input, SCKI, serial data input, SDI, serial clock output, SCKO, and four lanes of serial data output, SDO0 to SDO3. Communication with the LTC2344-18 across this bus occurs during predefined data transaction windows. Within a window, the device accepts 12-bit SoftSpan configuration words for the next conversion on SDI and outputs 24-bit packets containing conversion results and channel configuration information from the previous conversion on SDO0 to SDO3. New data transaction windows open 10ms after powering up or resetting the LTC2344-18, and at the end of each conversion on the falling edge of BUSY. In the recommended 32 use case, the data transaction should be completed with a minimum tQUIET time of 20ns prior to the start of the next conversion, as shown in Figure 17. New SoftSpan configuration words are only accepted within this recommended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes take effect immediately with no additional analog input settling time required before starting the next conversion. It is still possible to read conversion data after starting the next conversion, but this will degrade conversion accuracy and therefore is not recommended. Just prior to the falling edge of BUSY and the opening of a new data transaction window, SCKO is forced low and SDO0 to SDO3 are updated with the latest conversion results from analog input channels 0 to 3, respectively. Rising edges on SCKI serially clock conversion results and analog input channel configuration information out on SDO0 to SDO3 and trigger transitions on SCKO that are skew-matched to the data on SDO0 to SDO3. The resulting 234418f For more information www.linear.com/LTC2344-18 LTC2344-18 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION SCKO frequency is half that of SCKI. SCKI rising edges also latch SoftSpan configuration words provided on SDI, which are used to program the internal 12-bit SoftSpan configuration register. See the section Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in CMOS I/O Mode for further details. SCKI is allowed to idle either high or low in CMOS I/O mode. As shown in Figure 18, the CMOS bus is enabled when CS is low and is disabled and Hi-Z when CS is high, allowing the bus to be shared across multiple devices. The data on SDO0 to SDO3 are grouped into 24-bit packets consisting of an 18-bit conversion result, followed by a zero, 2-bit analog channel ID, and 3-bit SoftSpan code, all presented MSB first. As suggested in Figures 17 and 18, each SDO lane outputs these packets for all analog input channels in a sequential, circular manner. For example, the first 24-bit packet output on SDO0 corresponds to analog input channel 0, followed by the packets for channels 1, 2 and 3. The data output on SDO0 then wraps back to channel 0, and this pattern repeats indefinitely. Other SDO lanes follow a similar circular pattern, except the first packet presented on each lane corresponds to its associated analog input channel. When interfacing the LTC2344-18 with a standard SPI bus, capture output data at the receiver on rising edges of SCKI. SCKO is not used in this case. Multiple SDO lanes are also usually not useful in this case. In other applications, such as interfacing the LTC2344-18 with an FPGA or CPLD, rising and falling edges of SCKO may be used to capture serial output data on SDO0 to SDO3 in double data rate (DDR) fashion. Capturing data using SCKO adds robustness to delay variations over temperature and supply. Full Four Lane Serial CMOS Output Data Capture As shown in Table 3, full 400ksps per channel throughput can be achieved with a 65MHz SCKI frequency by capturing the first packet (24 SCKI cycles total) from all four serial data output lanes SDO0 to SDO3. This configuration also allows conversion results from all channels to be captured using as few as 18 SCKI cycles if the 2-bit analog channel ID and 3-bit SoftSpan code are not needed. Multi-lane data capture is usually best suited for use with FPGA or CPLD capture hardware, but may be useful in other applicationspecific cases. Fewer Than Four Lane Serial CMOS Output Data Capture Applications that cannot accommodate the full four lanes of serial data capture may employ fewer lanes without reconfiguring the LTC2344-18. For example, capturing the first two packets (48 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0 and SDO2 provides data for analog input channels 0 and 1, and 2 and 3, respectively, using two PD = 0 BUSY CS SCKI DON'T CARE DON'T CARE NEW SoftSpan CONFIGURATION WORD (OVERWRITES INTERNAL CONFIG REGISTER) SDI DON'T CARE SCKO SDO3 DON'T CARE Hi-Z Hi-Z Hi-Z CHANNEL 0 PACKET CHANNEL 1 PACKET CHANNEL 2 PACKET CHANNEL 3 PACKET (PARTIAL) tEN * * * SDO0 FIVE ALL-ZERO WORDS AND ONE PARTIAL WORD (INTERNAL CONFIG REGISTER RETAINS CURRENT VALUE) Hi-Z Hi-Z t DIS CHANNEL 3 PACKET CHANNEL 0 PACKET CHANNEL 1 PACKET CHANNEL 2 PACKET (PARTIAL) Hi-Z 234418 F18 Figure 18.

If only one lane can be accommodated, capturing the first four packets (96 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0 provides data for all analog input channels. As shown in Table 3, full 400ksps per channel throughput can be achieved with a 65MHz SCKI frequency in the four lane case, but the maximum CMOS SCKI frequency of 100MHz limits the throughput to less than 400ksps per channel in the two lane and one lane cases. Finally, note that in choosing the number of lanes and which lanes to use for data capture, the user is not restricted to the specific cases mentioned above. Other choices may be more optimal in particular applications. Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in CMOS I/O Mode The internal 12-bit SoftSpan configuration register controls the SoftSpan range for all analog input channels of the LTC2344-18. The default state of this register after power-up or resetting the device is all ones, configuring each channel to convert in SoftSpan 7, the VREFBUF range (see Table 1a). The state of this register may be modified by providing a new 12-bit SoftSpan configuration word on SDI during the data transaction window shown in Figure 17. New SoftSpan configuration words are only accepted within this recommended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes take effect immediately with no additional analog input settling time required before starting the next conversion. Setting a channel's SoftSpan code to SS[2:0] = 000 immediately disables the channel, resulting in a corresponding reduction in tCONV on the next conver- sion. Similarly, enabling a previously disabled channel requires no additional analog input settling time before starting the next conversion. The mapping between the serial SoftSpan configuration word, the internal SoftSpan configuration register, and each channel's 3-bit SoftSpan code is illustrated in Figure 19. If fewer than 12 SCKI rising edges are provided during a data transaction window, the partial word received on SDI will be ignored and the SoftSpan configuration register will not be updated. If exactly 12 SCKI rising edges are provided, the SoftSpan configuration register will be updated to match the received SoftSpan configuration word, S[11:0]. The one exception to this behavior occurs when S[11:0] is all zeros. In this case, the SoftSpan configuration register will not be updated, allowing applications to retain the current SoftSpan configuration state by idling SDI low. If more than 12 SCKI rising edges are provided during a data transaction window, each complete 12-bit word received on SDI will be interpreted as a new SoftSpan configuration word and applied to the SoftSpan configuration register as described above. Any partial words are ignored. Typically, applications will update the SoftSpan configuration register in the manner shown in Figures 17 and 18. After the opening of a new data transaction window at the falling edge of BUSY, the user supplies a 12-bit SoftSpan configuration word on SDI during the first 12 SCKI cycles. This new word overwrites the internal configuration register contents following the 12th SCKI rising edge. The user then holds SDI low for the remainder of the Table 3.

SoftSpan settings may be retained across multiple conversions by holding SDI low for the entire data transaction window, regardless of the number of SCKI cycles applied. Serial LVDS I/O Mode In LVDS I/O mode, information is transmitted using positive and negative signal pairs (LVDS+/LVDS-) with bits differentially encoded as (LVDS+ - LVDS-). These signals are typically routed using differential transmission lines with 100 characteristic impedance. Logical 1s and 0s are nominally represented by differential +350mV and -350mV, respectively. For clarity, all LVDS timing diagrams and interface discussions adopt the logical rather than physical convention. As shown in Figure 20, in LVDS I/O mode the serial data bus consists of a serial clock differential input, SCKI, serial data differential input, SDI, serial clock differential output, SCKO, and serial data differential output, SDO. Communication with the LTC2344-18 across this bus occurs during predefined data transaction windows. Within a window, the device accepts 12-bit SoftSpan configuration words for the next conversion on SDI and outputs 24-bit packets containing conversion results and channel configuration information from the previous conversion on SDO.

Just prior to the falling edge of BUSY and the opening of a new data transaction window, SDO is updated with the latest conversion results from analog input channel 0. Both rising and falling edges on SCKI serially clock conversion results and analog input channel configuration information out on SDO. SCKI is also echoed on SCKO, skew-matched to the data on SDO. Whenever possible, it is recommended that rising and falling edges of SCKO be used to capture DDR serial output data on SDO, as this will yield the best robustness to delay variations over supply and temperature. SCKI rising and falling edges also latch SoftSpan configuration words provided on SDI, which are used to program the internal 12-bit SoftSpan configuration register. See the section Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in LVDS I/O Mode for further details. As shown in Figure 21, the LVDS bus is enabled 36 when CS is low and is disabled and Hi-Z when CS is high, allowing the bus to be shared across multiple devices. Due to the high speeds involved in LVDS signaling, LVDS bus sharing must be carefully considered. Transmission line limitations imposed by the shared bus may limit the maximum achievable bus clock speed. LVDS inputs are internally terminated with a 100 differential resistor when CS is low, while outputs must be differentially terminated with a 100 resistor at the receiver (FPGA). SCKI must idle in the low state in LVDS I/O mode, including when transitioning CS. The data on SDO are grouped into 24-bit packets consisting of an 18-bit conversion result, followed by a zero, 2-bit analog channel ID and 3-bit SoftSpan code, all presented MSB first. As suggested in Figures 20 and 21, SDO outputs these packets for all analog input channels in a sequential, circular manner. For example, the first 24-bit packet output on SDO corresponds to analog input channel 0, followed by the packets for channels 1, 2 and 3. The data output on SDO then wraps back to channel 0, and this pattern repeats indefinitely. 234418f For more information www.linear.com/LTC2344-18 LTC2344-18 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Serial LVDS Output Data Capture As shown in Table 3, full 400ksps per channel throughput can be achieved with a 130MHz SCKI frequency by capturing four packets (48 SCKI cycles total) of DDR data from SDO. The LTC2344-18 supports LVDS SCKI frequencies up to 250MHz. Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in LVDS I/O Mode The internal 12-bit SoftSpan configuration register controls the SoftSpan range for all analog input channels of the LTC2344-18. The default state of this register after power-up or resetting the device is all ones, configuring each channel to convert in SoftSpan 7, the VREFBUF range (see Table 1a). The state of this register may be modified by providing a new 12-bit SoftSpan configuration word on SDI during the data transaction window shown in Figure 20. New SoftSpan configuration words are only accepted within this recommended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes take effect immediately with no additional analog input settling time required before starting the next conversion. Setting a channel's SoftSpan code to SS[2:0] = 000 immediately disables the channel, resulting in a corresponding reduction in tCONV on the next conversion. Similarly, enabling a previously disabled channel requires no additional analog input settling time before starting the next conversion. The mapping between the serial SoftSpan configuration word, the internal SoftSpan configuration register, and each channel's 3-bit SoftSpan code is illustrated in Figure 19. If fewer than 12 SCKI edges (rising plus falling) are provided during a data transaction window, the partial word received on SDI will be ignored and the SoftSpan configuration register will not be updated. If exactly 12 SCKI edges are provided, the SoftSpan configuration register will be updated to match the received SoftSpan configuration word, S[11:0]. The one exception to this behavior occurs when S[11:0] is all zeros. In this case, the SoftSpan configuration register will not be updated, allowing applications to retain the current SoftSpan configuration state by idling SDI low. If more than 12 SCKI edges are provided during a data transaction window, each complete 12-bit word received on SDI will be interpreted as a new SoftSpan configuration word and applied to the SoftSpan configuration register as described above. Any partial words are ignored. Typically, applications will update the SoftSpan configuration register in the manner shown in Figures 20 and 21. After the opening of a new data transaction window at the falling edge of BUSY, the user supplies a 12-bit DDR SoftSpan configuration word on SDI during the first 12 SCKI cycles. This new word overwrites the internal configuration register contents following the 6th SCKI falling edge. The user then holds SDI low for the remainder of the data transaction window causing the register to retain its contents regardless of the number of additional SCKI cycles applied. SoftSpan settings may be retained across multiple conversions by holding SDI low for the entire data transaction window, regardless of the number of SCKI cycles applied.

Layout for the 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 alongside analog signals or underneath the ADC. Also minimize the length of the REFBUF to GND (Pin 11) bypass capacitor return loop, and avoid routing CNV near signals which could potentially disturb its rising edge. 38 Supply bypass capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the supply pins. Low impedance common returns 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.
