The LTC®1099 is a high speed microprocessor compatible
8-bit analog-to-digital converter (A/D). An internal sampleand-hold (S/H) allows the A/D to convert inputs up to the
full Nyquist limit. With a conversion rate of 2.5µs, this
allows 156kHz 5V
input signals or slew rates as high as
P-P
2.5V/µs, to be digitized without the need for an external
S/H.
Two modes of operation, Read (RD) mode and Write-Read
(WR-RD) mode, allow easy interface with processors. All
timing is internal and edge sensitive which eliminates the
need for external pulse shaping circuits. The Stand-Alone
(SA) mode is convenient for those applications not involving a processor.
Data outputs are latched with three-state control to allow
easy interface to a processor data bus or I/O port. An
overflow output (OFL) is provided to allow cascading for
higher resolution.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIO
Figure 5 shows the functional block diagram for the
LTC1099 2-step flash ADC. It consists of two 4-bit flash
converters, a 4-bit DAC and a differencing circuit. The
conversion process proceeds as follows:
1. At the start of the conversion, the on-board sampleand-hold switches from the sample to the hold mode.
This is a true sample-and-hold with an acquisition time
of 240ns, an aperture time of 110ns and a tracking rate
of 2.5V/µs.
2. The held input voltage is converted by the 4-bit MSFlash ADC. This generates the upper or most significant
4-bits of the 8-bit output.
3. A 4-bit approximation, from the DAC output, is subtracted from the held input voltage.
4. The LS-Flash ADC converts the difference between the
held input voltage and the DAC approximation. This
generates the lower or least significant (LS) 4-bits of
the 8-bit output. The LS-Flash reference is one sixteenth of the MS-Flash reference. This effectively multiplies the difference by 16.
5. Upon the completion of the LS 4-bit flash the eight
output latches are updated simultaneously. At the same
time, the sample-and-hold is switched from the hold
mode to the acquire mode in preparation for the next
conversion.
The advantage of this approach is the reduction in the
amount of hardware required. A full flash converter requires 255 comparators while this approach requires only
31. The price paid for this reduction in hardware is an
increase in conversion time. A full flash converter requires
only one comparison cycle while this approach requires
two comparison cycles, hence 2-step flash.
This architecture is further simplified in the LTC1099 by
reusing the MS-Flash hardware to do the LS-Flash. This
reduces the number of comparators from 31 to 16. This is
possible because the MS and LS conversions are done at
different times.
To take the simple block diagram of Figure 5 and reconfigure
it to reuse the MS-Flash to do the LS-Flash is conceptually
simple, but from a hardware point of view is not practical.

accomplish this function in a simple, although not straight
forward,␣ manner.
Figure 6 shows the six input switched capacitor comparator. Intuitively, the comparator is easy to understand by
noting that the common connection between the two input
capacitors, C1 and C2, acts like a virtual ground. In
operational amplifier circuits, current is summed at the
virtual ground node. Input voltage is converted to current
by the input resistors. In the switched capacitor comparator, input voltage is converted to charge by the input
capacitors and these charges are summed at the virtual
ground node.
A major advantage of this technique is that the switch-on
impedance has no affect on accuracy as long as sufficient
time exists to fully charge and discharge the capacitors.
During the first time period the T+ and TZ switches are
closed. This forces the common node between C1 and C2
to an arbitrary bias voltage. Since the capacitors subtract
out this voltage, it may be considered, for the sake of this
discussion, to be exactly zero (i.e., virtual ground). Note

to VIN. When TZ opens, VIN is held on C1.
The next step is the first comparison — the MS-Flash. T

Notice that capacitor C2 adds 0.5LSB to VIN. This offsets
the converter transfer function by 0.5LSB, equally distributing the 1LSB quantization error to ±0.5LSB.
The outputs of the 16 comparators are temporarily latched
and drive the 4-bit DAC directly without need of decoding.
1099 F06
This holds the DAC output constant for the next step — the
LS conversion. The LS conversion is started when T–1 is
opened and T–2 is closed. Capacitor C1 subtracts the 4-bit
DAC approximation from VIN and inputs the difference
charge to the virtual ground node. The equation for each
comparator is:
VIN + 0.5LSB – V

The 4-bit DAC approximation is input to all 16 comparators. The LS tap voltages are converted to charge by

TERFACE
The digital interface to the LTC1099 entails either controlling the conversion timing or reading data. There are two
basic modes for controlling and reading the A/D — the
Write-Read(WR-RD) mode and the Read (RD) mode.
WR-RD Mode (Pin 7 = High)
In the WR-RD mode, a conversion sequence starts on the
falling edge of WR with CS low (Figures 3a and 3b). This
is an edge-sensitive control function. The width of the WR
input is not important. All timing functions are internal to
the A/D.
The first thing to happen after the falling edge of WR is the
internal S/H is switched to hold. This typically takes 110ns
after WR falls and is the aperture time of the S/H.
Next, the A/D conversion takes place. The conversion time
is internally set at 2.5µs, but is user adjustable (see
Adjusting the Conversion Time). The end of conversion is
signaled by the high to low transition of INT. The S/H is
switched back to the acquire state as soon as the conversion is complete.
After the conversion is complete, the 8-bit result is available on the three-state outputs. The outputs are active with
RD and CS low. Output data is latched and, if no new
conversion is initiated, is available indefinitely as long as
the power is not turned off.
The WR-RD mode is also used for stand-alone operation.
By tying CS and RD low the data outputs will be continuously active (Figure 4). The falling edge of WR starts the
conversion sequence and when done new data will appear
on the outputs. All outputs will be updated simultaneously.
In stand-alone operation, the outputs will never be in a
high impedance state.
RD Mode (Pin 7 = Low)
In the RD mode, a conversion sequence is initiated by the
falling edge of RD when CS is low (Figure 2). The S/H is
switched to the hold state 110ns after the falling edge of
RD. It is switched back to the acquire state at the end of
conversion.
When RD goes low, with CS low, the result of the previous
conversion is output. This data stays there until the
ongoing conversion is complete (INT goes low). At this
time the outputs are updated with new data.
As long as CS and RD stay low long enough, the receiving
device will get the right data. Remember, the receiving
device reads data in on the rising edge of RD. The RDY
output facilitates making RD long enough.
In the RD mode, the WR input becomes the RDY output.
On the falling edge of RD, the RDY goes low. It is an open
drain output to allow a wired OR function so it requires a
pull-up resistor. At the end of conversion, the active pulldown is released and RDY goes high.
The RDY output is designed to interface to the Ready In
(RDYIN) function on many popular processors. RDYIN
allows these processors to work with slow memory by
stretching the RD strobe coming from the processor. RD
will remain low as long as RDY is low. In the case of the
LTC1099, RDY stays low until the conversion is complete
and new data is available on the outputs. This greatly
simplifies the programmers task. Each time data is required from the A/D a simple read is executed. The
hardware interface makes sure the RD strobe is long
enough.
Adjusting the Conversion Time
The conversion time of the LTC1099 is internally set at
2.5µs. If desired, it can be adjusted by forcing a voltage on
Pin 19. With Pin 19 left open, the conversion time runs
2.5µs. A convenient way to force the voltage is with the
circuit shown in Figure 7. To preset the conversion time to
a fixed amount, a resistor may be tied from Pin 19 to V
or GND. Tying it to VCC slows down the conversion and
tying it to GND will speed it up (see Typical Performance
Characteristics).

ANALOG INTERFACE
The inclusion of a high quality sample-and-hold (S/H)
simplifies the analog interface to the LTC1099. All of the
error terms normally associated with an S/H (hold step,
offset, gain and droop errors) are included in the error
specifications for the A/D. This makes it easy for the
designer since all the error terms need not be taken into
account individually.
S/H Timing
A falling edge on the RD or WR input switches the S/H from
acquire to hold and starts the conversion. The aperture
time is the delay from the falling edge to the actual instant
when the S/H switches to hold. It is typically 110ns.
As soon as a conversion is complete (2.5µs typ), the S/H
switches back to the sample mode. Even though the
acquisition time is only 240ns, a new conversion cannot
be started for (700ns typ) after a conversion is completed.
Analog Input
The input to the A/D looks like a 60pF capacitor in series
with 550Ω (Figure 8).

With this high input capacitance care must be taken when
driving the inputs from a source amplifier. When the input
switch closes, an instantaneous capacitive load is applied
to the amplifier output. This acts like an impulse into the
amplifier and if it has poor phase margin the resulting
ringing can cause a considerable loss of accuracy. If the
amplifier is too slow the resulting settling tail will also
cause a loss of accuracy. The amplifier should also have
low open circuit output impedance. The LT1006 is an
excellent amplifier in this regard. It also works with a single
supply which fits nicely with the LTC1099.
Reference Inputs
Sixteen equal valued resistors are internally connected
between REF+ and REF–. Each resistor is nominally 200Ω
giving a total resistance of 3.2k between the reference
terminals. When VIN equals REF+, the output code will be
all ones. When VIN equals REF–, the output code will be all
zeros.
Although it is most common to connect REF+ to a 5V
reference and REF– to ground, any voltages can be used.
The only restrictions are REF+ >REF– and REF+ and REF
–
must be within the supply rails. As the reference voltage is
reduced the A/D will eventually lose accuracy. Accuracy is
quite good for references down to 1V.
Even though the reference drives a resistive ladder, a lot of
capacitive switching is taking place internally. For this
reason, driving the reference has the same characteristics
as driving VIN. A fast low impedance source is necessary.
The reference has the additional problem of presenting a
DC load to the driving source. This requires the DC as well
as the AC source impedance to be low.
Good Grounding
As with any precise analog system care must be taken to
follow good grounding practices when using the LTC1099.
The most noise free environment is obtained by using a
ground plane with GND (Pin 10) and REF– (Pin 11) tied to
it. Bypass capacitors from REF+ (Pin 12) and VCC (Pin 20)
with short leads are also required to prevent spurious
switching noise from affecting the conversion accuracy.
If a ground plane is not practical, single point grounding
techniques should be used. Ground for the A/D should not
be mixed in with other noisy grounds.

LTC1099
Analog Multiplier
The schematic Figure 9 shows the LTC1099 configured
with a DAC to form a two quadrant analog multiplier. An
input waveform is applied to the LTC1099 where it is
digitized at a 300kHz rate. The digitized signal is fed to the
DAC in “flow-through” mode where another signal is input
to the DAC reference input. In this way, the two analog
signals are multiplied to produce a double sideband amplitude modulated output. Figure 10 shows a 3kHz sine wave
multiplied by a 100Hz triangle.

Note that since this is only a two quadrant multiplier, a
carrier component (the input to the LTC1099) will appear
in the output spectrum. Figure 11 shows the frequency
spectrum of a 42.5kHz sine wave multiplied by a 5kHz sine
wave. The depth of modulation is about 30dB. Figure 12
shows a 42.375kHz sine wave multiplied by a 30.875kHz
sine wave. Note that at these higher frequencies, the depth
of modulation is still about 30dB. The carrier feed-through
is seen in Figure 12.
