FEATURES DESCRIPTION
16-Bit, 1Msps, Low Power
SAR ADC with Serial Interface
The LTC
®
2383-16 is a low noise, low power, high speed
16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC.
Operating from a 2.5V supply, the LTC2383-16 has a
±2.5V fully differential input range. The LTC2383-16
consumes only 13mW and achieves ±2LSB INL max, no
missing codes at 16-bits and 92dB SNR.
The LTC2383-16 has a high speed SPI-compatible serial
interface that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic
while also featuring a daisy-chain mode. The fast 1Msps
throughput with no cycle latency makes the LTC2383-16
ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed applica tions.
An internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing exter-
nal timing considerations. The LTC2383-16 automatically
powers down between conversions, lead ing to reduced
power dissipation that scales with the sampling rate.

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 effect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to ground.
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above REF or
OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
input currents up to 100mA below ground or above REF or OVDD without
latch-up.
Note 4: VDD = 2.5V, OVDD = 2.5V, REF = 2.5V, fSMPL = 1MHz.
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-scale 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 ±2.5V input with
a 2.5V reference voltage.
Note 9: fSMPL = 1MHz, IREF varies proportionately with sample rate.
Note 10: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 11: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V, OVDD = 2.5V
and OVDD = 5.25V.
Note 12: tSCK of 10ns maximum allows a shift clock frequency up to
100MHz for rising capture.

CHAIN (Pin 1): Chain Mode Selector Pin. When low, the
LTC2383-16 operates in Normal Mode and the RDL/SDI
input pin functions to enable or disable SDO. When high,
the LTC2383-16 operates in Chain Mode and the RDL/
SDI pin functions as SDI, the daisy chain serial data input.
VDD (Pin 2): 2.5V Digital Power Supply. The range of
VDD is 2.375V to 2.625V. Bypass VDD to GND with a 10µF
ceramic capacitor.
GND (Pins 3, 6, 10 and 16): Ground.
IN+, IN– (Pins 4, 5): Positive and Negative Differential
Analog Inputs.
REF (Pins 7, 8): Reference Input. The range of REF is 2.4V
to 2.6V. This pin is referred to the GND pin and should be
decoupled closely to the pin with a 47µF ceramic capacitor
(X5R, 0805 size).
CNV (Pin 9): Convert Input. A rising edge on this input
initiates a new conversion. When the conversion is done,
the part powers down as long as CNV is held high. When
CNV is returned low, the part powers up in preparation
for the next conversion.
BUSY (Pin 11): BUSY indicator. Goes high at the start of
a new conversion and returns low when the conversion
has finished.
RDL/SDI (Pin 12): When CHAIN is low, the part is in Nor-
mal Mode and the pin is treated as a bus enabling input.
When CHAIN is high, the part is in chain mode and the
pin is treated as a serial data input pin where data from
another ADC in the daisy chain is input.
SCK (Pin 13): Serial Data Clock Input. When SDO is enabled,
the conversion result or daisy chain data from another ADC
is shifted out on the rising edges of this clock MSB first.
SDO (Pin 14): Serial Data Output. The conversion result or
daisy chain data is output on this pin on each rising edge
of SCK MSB first. The output data is in 2’s complement
format.
OVDD (Pin 15): I/O Interface Digital Power. The range of
OVDD is 1.71V to 5.25V. This supply is nominally set to
the same supply as the host interface (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V,
or 5V). Bypass OVDD to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
GND (Exposed Pad Pin 17 – DFN Package Only): Ground.
Exposed pad must be soldered directly to the ground plane.

OVERVIEW
The LTC2383-16 is a low noise, low power, high speed 16-bit
successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Operating
from a single 2.5V supply, the LTC2383-16 supports a
large ±2.5V fully differential input range, making it ideal
for high performance applications which require a wide
dynamic range. The LTC2383-16 achieves ±2LSB INL max,
no missing codes at 16-bits and 92dB SNR.
Fast 1Msps throughput with no cycle latency makes the
LTC2383-16 ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed
applications. An internal oscillator sets the conversion time,
easing external timing considerations. The LTC2383-16
dissipates only 13mW at 1Msps, while an auto power-down
feature is provided to further reduce power dissipation
during inactive periods.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2383-16 operates in two phases. During the ac-
quisition phase, the charge redistribution capacitor D/A
converter (CDAC) is connected to the IN+ and IN– pins
to sample the differential analog input voltage. A rising
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 voltage (e.g. VREF/2, VREF/4 … VREF/65536) using
the differential comparator. At the end of conversion, the
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 LTC2383-16 digitizes the full-scale voltage of 2 × REF
into 216 levels, resulting in an LSB size of 76µV with
REF = 2.5V. The ideal transfer function is shown in Figure 2.
The output data is in 2’s complement format.
ANALOG INPUT
The analog inputs of the LTC2383-16 are fully differential
in order to maximize the signal swing that can be digitized.
The analog inputs can be modeled by the equivalent circuit

shown in Figure 3. The diodes at the input provide ESD
protection. In the acquisition phase, each input sees ap-
proximately 45pF (CIN) from the sampling CDAC in series
with 40Ω (RON) from the on-resistance of the sampling
switch. Any unwanted signal that is common to both
inputs will be reduced by the common mode rejection of
the ADC. The inputs draw a current spike while charging
the CIN capacitors during acquisition. During conversion,
the analog inputs draw only a small leakage current.

INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
A low impedance source can directly drive the high im-
pedance inputs of the LTC2383-16 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

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
is important even for DC inputs, because the ADC inputs
draw a current spike when entering acquisition.
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used to
drive the analog inputs of the LTC2383-16. The amplifier
provides low output impedance, which produces fast
settling of the analog signal during the acquisition phase.
It also provides isolation between the signal source and
the current spike the ADC inputs draw.
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 an appropriate filter to
minimize noise. The simple 1-pole RC lowpass filter (LPF1)
shown in Figure 4 is sufficient for many applications.
Another filter network consisting of LPF2 and the 100Ω series
input resistors should be used between the buffer and ADC
inputs to both minimize the noise contribution of the buffer
and to help minimize disturbances reflected into the buffer
from sampling transients. Long RC time constants at the
analog inputs will slow down the settling of the analog inputs.
Therefore, LPF2 requires a wider bandwidth than LPF1. A
buffer amplifier with a low noise density must be selected to
minimize degradation of the SNR. With the 482kHz lowpass
filter shown in Figure 4, the LT6350 provides the full data
sheet performance of the LTC2383-16.
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.

Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion
For single-ended input signals, a single-ended to differential
conversion circuit must be used to produce a differential
signal at the inputs of the LTC2383-16. The LT6350 ADC
driver is recommended for performing single-ended-to-dif-
ferential conversions. The LT6350 is flexible and may be
configured to convert single-ended signals of various
amplitudes to the ±2.5V differential input range of the
LTC2383-16. The LT6350 is also available in H-grade to
complement the extended temperature operation of the
LTC2383-16 up to 125°C.
Figure 5 shows the LT6350 being used to convert a 0V
to 2.5V single-ended input signal. In this case, the first
amplifier is configured as a unity gain buffer and the sin-
gle-ended input signal directly drives the high-impedance
input of the amplifier. As shown in the FFT of Figure 5a,
the LT6350 drives the LTC2383-16 to full data sheet per-
formance without degrading the SNR or THD .

The LT6350 can also be used to buffer and convert
single-ended signals larger than the input range of the
LTC2383-16 in order to maximize the signal swing that can
be digitized. Figure 6 shows the LT6350 converting a 0V-
5V single-ended input signal to the ±2.5V differential input
range of the LTC2383-16. In this case, the first amplifier in
the LT6350 is configured as an inverting amplifier stage,
which acts to attenuate the input signal down to the 0V-2.5V
input range of the LTC2383-16. In the inverting amplifier
configuration, the single-ended input signal source no longer
directly drives a high impedance input of the first amplifier.
The input impedance is instead set by resistor RIN. RIN must
be chosen carefully based on the source impedance of the
signal source. Higher values of RIN tend to degrade both
the noise and distortion of the LT6350 and LTC2383-16
as a system. R1, R2 and R3 must be selected in relation
to RIN to achieve the desired attenuation and to maintain
a balanced input impedance in the first amplifier. Table 1

ADC REFERENCE
The LTC2383-16 requires an external reference to define its
input range. A low noise, low temperature drift reference
is critical to achieving the full data sheet performance
of the ADC. 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 LTC6652-2.5 is particularly well suited for
use with the LTC2383-16. The LTC6652-2.5 offers 0.05%
(max) initial accuracy and 5ppm/°C (max) temperature co-
efficient for high precision applications. The LTC6652-2.5
is fully specified over the H-grade temperature range and
complements the extended temperature operation of the
LTC2383-16 up to 125°C. We recommend bypassing the
LTC6652-2.5 with a 47µF ceramic capacitor (X5R, 0805
size) close to the REF pin. All performance curves shown
in this data sheet were obtained using the LTC6652-2.5.
The REF pin of the LTC2383-16 draws charge (QCONV)
from the 47µF bypass capacitor during each conversion
cycle. The reference replenishes this charge with a DC
current, IREF = QCONV/tCYC. The DC current draw of the
REF pin, IREF, depends on the sampling rate and output
code. If the LTC2383-16 is used to continuously sample
a signal at a constant rate, the LTC6652-2.5 will keep the
deviation of the reference voltage over the entire code
span to less than 0.5LSBs.
When idling, the REF pin on the LTC2383-16 draws only a
small leakage current (< 1µA). In applications where a burst
of samples is taken after idling for long periods as shown
in Figure 8, IREF quickly goes from approximately 0µA to
a maximum of 910µA at 1Msps. This step in DC current
draw triggers a transient response in the reference that
must be considered since any deviation in the reference
output voltage will affect the accuracy of the output code.
In applications where the transient response of the refer-
ence is important, the fast settling LTC6655-2.5 reference
is recommended. Inserting a 1Ω resistor between the
47µF bypass capacitor and reference output as shown in
Figure 9 helps to improve the transient settling time and
minimize the reference voltage deviation.

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 LTC2383-16 provides
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise
measurements.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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
to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling
frequency. Figure 10 shows that the LTC2383-16 achieves
a typical SINAD of 92dB at a 1MHz sampling rate with a
20kHz 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 10 shows
that the LTC2383-16 achieves a typical SNR of 92dB at a
1MHz sampling rate with a 20kHz 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 (fSM-
PL/2). THD is expressed as:
THD VVV V
V
N
=

where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre-
quency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second
through Nth harmonics.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The LTC2383-16 provides two power supply pins: the
2.5V power supply (VDD), and the digital input/output
interface power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply
allows the LTC2383-16 to communicate with any digital
logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and
3.3V systems.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2383-16 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 LTC2383-16
has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2383-16 at initial power-up or whenever the power
supply voltage drops below 1V. Once the supply voltage
reenters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR will
reinitialize the ADC. No conversions should be initiated
until 20µs 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 LTC2383-16 conversion is controlled by CNV. A rising
edge on CNV will start a conversion. Once a conversion
has been initiated, it cannot be restarted until the conver-
sion is complete. For optimum performance, CNV should
be driven by a clean low jitter signal. Converter status is
indicated by the BUSY output which remains high while
the conversion is in progress. To ensure that no errors
occur in the digitized results, any additional transitions
on CNV should occur within 40ns from the start of the
conversion or after the conversion has been completed.
Once the conversion has completed, the LTC2383-16
begins acquiring the input signal.
LTC2383-16

238316fa

Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2383-16 has an internal clock that is trimmed to
achieve a maximum conversion time of 730ns. With a min-
imum acquisition time of 250ns, throughput performance
of 1Msps is guaranteed without any external adjustments.
Auto Power-Down
The LTC2383-16 automatically powers down after a con-
version has been completed as long as CNV remains high.
During power down, the data from the last conversion can
be clocked out. To minimize power dissipation during power
down, disable SDO and turn off SCK. To power up the part,
bring CNV low at least 200ns (tCONVL) before the initiation
of the next conversion. The auto power-down feature will
reduce the power dissipation of the LTC2383-16 as the
sampling frequency is reduced. Since the time required to
power up the part does not change at lower sample rates,
the LTC2383-16 can remain powered-down for a larger
fraction of the conversion cycle (tCYC), thereby reducing
the average power dissipation which scales linearly with
sampling rate as shown in Figure 11.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2383-16 has a serial digital interface. The flexible
OVDD supply allows the LTC2383-16 to communicate with
any digital logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems.
The serial output data is clocked out on the SDO pin when
an external clock is applied to the SCK pin if SDO is enabled.
Clocking out the data after the conversion will yield the
best performance. With a shift clock frequency of at least
60MHz, a 1Msps throughput is still achieved. The serial
output data changes state on the rising edge of SCK and
can be captured on the falling edge or next rising edge of
SCK. D15 remains valid till the first rising edge of SCK.
The serial interface on the LTC2383-16 is simple and
straightforward to use. The following sections describe the
operation of the LTC2383-16. Several modes are provided
depending on whether a single or multiple ADCs share the
SPI bus or are daisy-chained.

Normal Mode, Single Device
When CHAIN = 0, the LTC2383-16 operates in Normal
mode. In Normal mode, RDL/SDI enables or disables the
serial data output pin SDO. If RDL/SDI is high, SDO is in
high-impedance. If RDL/SDI is low, SDO is driven.
Figure 12 shows a single LTC2383-16 operated in Normal
Mode with CHAIN and RDL/SDI tied to ground. With RDL/
SDI grounded, SDO is enabled and the MSB(D15) of the
new conversion data is available at the falling edge of
BUSY. This is the simplest way to operate the LTC2383-16.

Normal Mode, Multiple Devices
Figure 13 shows multiple LTC2383-16 devices operating
in Normal Mode(CHAIN = 0) sharing CNV, SCK and SDO.
By sharing CNV, SCK and SDO, the number of required
signals to operate multiple ADCs in parallel is reduced.
Since SDO is shared, the RDL/SDI input of each ADC must
be used to allow only one LTC2383-16 to drive SDO at a
time in order to avoid bus conflicts. As shown in Figure 13,
the RDL/SDI inputs idle high and are individually brought
low to read data out of each device between conversions.
When RDL/SDI is brought low, the MSB of the selected
device is output onto SDO. To ensure the MSB is properly
output and captured, SCK must be held low at least 1ns
before and 16ns after bringing RDL/SDI low.

When CHAIN = OVDD, the LTC2383-16 operates in Chain

This is useful for applications where hardware constraints
may limit the number of lines needed to interface to a large
number of converters. Figure 14 shows an example with
two daisy chained devices. The MSB of converter A will

BOARD LAYOUT
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2383-16
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 alongside analog signals or underneath the ADC.
Recommended Layout
The following is an example of a recommended PCB layout.
A single solid ground plane is used. Bypass capacitors to
the supplies are 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. The analog input traces are screened by ground.
For more details and information refer to DC1571A, the
evaluation kit for the LTC2383-16.
