DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1411 is a 2.5Msps sampling 14-bit A/D converter in a 36-pin SSOP package, which typically dissipates only 195mW from a single 5V supply. This device
comes complete with a high bandwidth sample-andhold, a precision reference, programmable input ranges
and an internally trimmed clock. The ADC can be powered
down with either the Nap or Sleep mode for low power
applications.
The LTC1411 converts either differential or single-ended
inputs and presents data in 2’s complement format.
Maximum DC specs include ±2LSB INL and 14-bit no
missing code over temperature. Outstanding dynamic
performance includes 80dB S/(N + D) and 90dB THD at
100kHz input frequency.
The LTC1411 has four programmable input ranges selected by two digital input pins, PGA0 and PGA1. This
provides input spans of ±1.8V, ±1.27V, ±0.9V and ±0.64V.
An out-of-the-range signal together with the D13 (MSB)
will indicate whether a signal is over or under the ADC’s
input range. A simple conversion start input and a data
ready signal ease connections to FIFOs, DSPs and microprocessors.

CONVERSION DETAILS
The LTC1411 uses a successive approximation algorithm
and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an
analog signal to a 14-bit parallel output. The ADC is
complete with a precision reference, internal clock and a
programmable input range. The device is easy to interface
with microprocessors and DSPs. (Please refer to the
Digital Interface section for the data format.)
Conversions are started by a falling edge on the CONVST
input. Once a conversion cycle has begun, it cannot be
restarted. Between conversions, the ADC acquires the
analog input in preparation for the next conversion.
acquire phase, a minimum time of 100ns will provide
enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitors to acquire the analog signal.

During the conversion, the internal differential 14-bit
capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from the
most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit
(LSB). The input is successively compared with the binary
weighted charges supplied by the differential capacitive
DAC. Bit decisions are made by a high speed comparator.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The LTC1411 has excellent high speed sampling capability. 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. Figure 2a shows a
typical LTC1411 FFT plot.
Signal-to-Noise
The signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio [S/N + D)] 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 the above DC and below half the
sampling frequency. Figure 2a shows a typical spectral
content with a 2.5MHz sampling rate and a 100kHz input.
The dynamic performance holds well to higher input
frequencies (see Figure 2b).

Effective Number of Bits
The effective number of bits (ENOBs) is a measurement of
the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to the
S/(N + D) by the equation:
ENOBS = [S/(N + D) – 1.76]/6.02
where S/(N + D) is expressed in dB. At the maximum
sampling rate of 2.5MHz the LTC1411 maintains good
ENOBs up to the Nyquist input frequency of 1.25MHz.
Refer to Figure␣ 3.

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS

Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
100
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral component excluding the input signal and DC. This
value is expressed in dB relative to the RMS value of a fullscale input signal.
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3db for a full-scale input signal.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the S/(N + D) has dropped to 74dB (12 effective bits). The
LTC1411 has been designed to optimize input bandwidth,
allowing the ADC to undersample input signals with frequencies above the converter’s Nyquist frequency. The
noise floor stays very low at high frequencies; S/(N + D)
becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies far beyond Nyquist.
Driving the Analog Input
The differential analog inputs of the LTC1411 are easy to
drive. The inputs may be driven differentially or as a singleended input (i.e., the A
–
input is tied to a fixed DC voltage
IN
such as the REFOUT pin of the LTC1411 or an external
source). Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram for the
analog inputs of the LTC1411. The A
IN
+
and A
IN
–
are
sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted signal that is
common mode to both inputs will be reduced by the
common mode rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit.
The inputs draw only one small current spike while charging the sample-and-hold capacitors at the end of conversion. During conversion, the analog inputs draw only a
small leakage current. If the source impedance of the
driving circuits is low, then the LTC1411 inputs can be
driven directly. More acquisition time should be allowed
for a higher impedance source. Figure 5 shows the acquisition time versus source resistance.
Choosing an Input Amplifier
Choosing an input amplifier is easy if a few requirements
are taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude
of the voltage spike seen by the amplifier from charging

the sampling capacitor, choose an amplifier that has a low
output impedance (<100Ω) at the closed-loop bandwidth
frequency. For example, if an amplifier is used in a gain of
1 and has a unity-gain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the
output impedance at 50MHz must be less than 100Ω. The
second requirement is that the closed-loop bandwidth
must be greater than 40MHz to ensure adequate smallsignal settling for full throughput rate. If slower op amps
are used, more settling time can be provided by increasing
the time between conversions.
The best choice for an op amp to drive the LTC1411 will
depend on the application. Generally applications fall into
two categories: AC applications where dynamic specifications are most critical and time domain applications where
DC accuracy and settling time are most critical. The
following list is a summary of the op amps that are suitable
for driving the LTC1411. More detailed information is
available in the Linear Technology Databooks and on the
LinearViewTM CD-ROM.

The LTC1411 has two logic input pins (PGA0 and PGA1)

These input ranges are set by changing the reference
voltage that is applied to the internal DAC of the ADC
(REFCOM2). For the “0dB” setting the internal DAC sees
the full reference voltage of 4V. The analog input range is
0.7V to 4.3V with A
span of ±1.8V with respect to the voltage applied to A
–
= 2.5V. This corresponds to an input
IN
IN
–
. For the “–3dB” setting the internal reference is reduced
to 0.707 • 4V = 2.9V. Likewise the input span is reduced
to ±1.28V. The following table lists the input span with
respect to A
When changing from one input span to another, more time
is needed for the REFCOM2 pin to reach the correct level
because the bypass capacitor on the pin needs to be charged
or discharged. Figure 6 shows the recommended capacitors at the REFCOM1 and REFCOM2 pins (10µF each).
Internal Reference
The LTC1411 has an on-chip, temperature compensated,
curvature corrected, bandgap reference that is factory
trimmed to 2.500V. If this REFOUT pin is used to drive the
–
A
pin, a 22µF tantalum bypass capacitor is required and
IN
this REFOUT voltage sets the bipolar zero for the ADC.
The REFIN pin is connected to the reference buffer through
a 2k resistor and two PGA switches. The REFIN pin can be
connected to REFOUT directly or to an external reference.
Figure 6 shows the reference and buffer structure for the
LTC1411. The input to the reference buffer is either REFIN
or 1/2 of REFIN depending on the PGA selection. The
REFCOM1 pin bypassed with a 10µF tantalum capacitor
helps reduce the noise going into the buffer. The reference
buffer has a gain of 1.62 or 1.15 (depends on PGA
selection). It is compensated at the REFCOM2 pin with a
10µF tantalum capacitor. The input span of the ADC is set
by the output voltage of this REFCOM2 voltage. For a 2.5V
input at the REFIN pin, the REFCOM2 will have 4V output
for PGA1 = PGA0 = 5V and the ADC will have a span of 3.6V.

When –6dB or – 9dB is selected, the voltage at REFCOM1
(see Figure 2) must first settle before REFCOM2 reaches
the correct level. The typical delay is about 700ms.
When the REFCOM2 level is changed from 2.9V to 4V
(changing PGA setting from – 3dB to 0dB), the typical delay
is 0.6ms. However, if the voltage at REFCOM2 is changed
from 4V to 2.9V (changing PGA setting from 0dB to – 3dB)
only a 60µA sink current is present to discharge the 10µF
bypass capacitor. In this case, the delay will be 11ms.

Digital Interface
The ADC has a very simple digital interface with only one
control input, CONVST. A logic low applied to the CONVST
input will initiate a conversion. The ADC presents digital
data in 2’s complement format with bipolar zero set by the
voltage applied to the A
IN
–
pin.
Internal Clock
The internal clock is factory trimmed to achieve a typical
conversion time of 260ns. With the typical acquisition
time of 100ns, a throughput sampling rate of 2.5Msps is
guaranteed.
Out-of-the-Range Signal (OTR)
The LTC1411 has a digital output, OTR, that indicates if an
analog input signal is out of range. The OTR remains
low when the analog input is within the specified range.
Once the analog signal goes to the most negative input
(1000 0000 0000 00) or 64LSB above the specified most
positive input, OTR will go high. By NORing D13 (MSB)
and its complement with OTR, overrange and underrange
can be detected as shown in Figure 8. Table 2 is the truth
table of the out-of-the-range circuit in Figure 8.
Power Shutdown (Sleep and Nap Modes)
The LTC1411 provides two shutdown features that will
save power when the ADC is inactive.

Figure 9. NAP to CONVST Wake-Up Timing
By driving the SLP pin low for Sleep mode, the ADC shuts
down to less than 1µA. After release from the Sleep mode,
the ADC needs 210ms (10µF bypass capacitor on the
REFCOM2 pin) to wake up.
In Nap mode, all the power is off except the internal reference which is still active for the other external circuitry. In
this mode the ADC draws about 2mA instead of 39mA (for
minimum power, the logic inputs must be within 600mV
from the supply rails). The wake-up time from Nap mode
to active state is 250ns as shown in Figure 9.
Board Layout and Bypassing
Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high resolution or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best
performance from the LTC1411, a printed circuit board
with a ground plane is required. Layout for the printed
circuit board should ensure that the digital and analog
signal lines are separated as much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not to run any digital track
alongside an analog signal track.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
LTC1411
An analog ground plane separate from the logic system
ground should be established under and around the ADC.
AGND1, 2, 3 (Pins 7 to 9), AVM (Pin 11), DGND (Pin 31)
and OGND (Pin 28) and all other analog grounds should
be connected to a single analog ground point. The REFOUT,
REFCOM1, REFCOM2 and AVP should bypass to this
analog ground plane (see Figure 10). No other digital
grounds should be connected to this analog ground
plane. Low impedance analog and digital power supply
common returns are essential to low noise operation of
the ADC and the foil width for these tracks should be as
wide as possible.
Timing and Control
Conversion start is controlled by the CONVST digital input.
The falling edge transition of the CONVST will start a
conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted until the
conversion is complete. Converter status is indicated by
the BUSY output. BUSY is low during a conversion.
The digital output code is updated at the end of conversion
about 7ns after BUSY rises, i.e., output data is not valid on
the rising edge of BUSY. Valid data can be latched with the
falling edge of BUSY or with the rising edge of CONVST. In
either case, the data latched will be for the previous
conversion results. Figures 11a and 11b are the timing
diagrams for the LTC1411.
3V Input/Output Compatible
The LTC1411 operates on a 5V supply, which makes the
device easy to interface to 5V digital systems. This device
can also talk to 3V digital systems: the digital input pins
(CONVST, NAP and SLP) of the LTC1411 recognize 3V or
5V inputs. The LTC1411 has a dedicated output supply pin
(OVDD) that controls the output swings of the digital
output pins (D0 to D13, BUSY and OTR) and allows the
part to talk to either 3V or 5V digital systems. The output
is two’s complement binary.
Figure 12 is the input/output characteristics of the ADC
when A
–
= 2.5V. The code transitions occur midway
IN
between successive integer LSB values (i.e., 0.5LSB,
1.5LSB, 2.5LSB... FS – 1.5LSB). The output code is scaled
such that 1LSB = FS/16384 = 3.6V/16384 = 219.7µV.
Offset and Full-Scale Adjustment
In applications where absolute accuracy is important,
offset and full-scale errors can be adjusted to zero. Offset
error must be adjusted before full-scale error. Figure 13
shows the extra components required for full-scale error
adjustment. Zero offset is achieved by adjusting the
offset applied to the A
apply 2.49989V (i.e., –0.5LSB) at A

is applied to A

flickers between 0111 1111 1111 10 and 0111 1111
