The LTC®2414/LTC2418 are 8-/16-channel (4-/8-differential) micropower 24-bit ∆Σ analog-to-digital converters. They operate from 2.7V to 5.5V and include an
integrated oscillator, 2ppm INL and 0.2ppm RMS noise.
They use delta-sigma technology and provide single cycle
settling time for multiplexed applications. Through a
single pin, the
LTC2414/LTC2418
can be configured for
better than 110dB differential mode rejection at 50Hz or
60Hz ± 2%, or they can be driven by an external oscillator
for a user-defined rejection frequency. The internal oscillator requires no external frequency setting components.
The LTC2414/LTC2418 accept any external differential
reference voltage from 0.1V to V
for flexible ratiometric
CC
and remote sensing measurement applications. They can
be configured to take 4/8 differential channels or
8/16 single-ended channels. The full-scale bipolar input
range is from – 0.5V

CONVERTER OPERATION
Converter Operation Cycle
The LTC2414/LTC2418 are multichannel, low power, deltasigma analog-to-digital converters with an easy-to-use
4-wire serial interface (see Figure 1). Their operation is made
up of three states. The converter operating cycle begins with
the conversion, followed by the low power sleep state and
ends with the data input/output (see Figure 2). The 4-wire
interface consists of serial data input (SDI), serial data output (SDO), serial clock (SCK) and chip select (CS).
Initially, the LTC2414 or LTC2418 performs a conversion.
Once the conversion is complete, the device enters the
sleep state. The part remains in the sleep state as long as
CS is HIGH. While in the sleep state, power consumption
is reduced by nearly two orders of magnitude. The conversion result is held indefinitely in a static shift register while
the converter is in the sleep state.
Once CS is pulled LOW, the device exits the low power
mode and enters the data output state. If CS is pulled HIGH
before the first rising edge of SCK, the device returns to the
low power sleep mode and the conversion result is still
held in the internal static shift register. If CS remains LOW
after the first rising edge of SCK, the device begins outputting the conversion result and inputting channel selection
bits. Taking CS high at this point will terminate the data
output state and start a new conversion. The channel
selection control bits are shifted in through SDI from the

first rising edge of SCK and depending on the control bits,
the converter updates its channel selection immediately
and is valid for the next conversion. The details of channel
selection control bits are described in the Input Data Mode
section. The output data is shifted out the SDO pin under
the control of the serial clock (SCK). The output data is
updated on the falling edge of SCK allowing the user to
reliably latch data on the rising edge of SCK (see Figure 3).
The data output state is concluded once 32 bits are read
out of the ADC or when CS is brought HIGH. The device
automatically initiates a new conversion and the cycle
repeats.
Through timing control of the CS and SCK pins, the
LTC2414/LTC2418 offer several flexible modes of operation (internal or external SCK and free-running conversion
modes). These various modes do not require programming configuration registers; moreover, they do not disturb the cyclic operation described above. These modes of
operation are described in detail in the Serial Interface
Timing Modes section.
Conversion Clock
A major advantage the delta-sigma converter offers over
conventional type converters is an on-chip digital filter
(commonly implemented as a Sinc or Comb filter). For
high resolution, low frequency applications, this filter is
typically designed to reject line frequencies of 50Hz or
60Hz plus their harmonics. The filter rejection performance is directly related to the accuracy of the converter
system clock. The LTC2414/LTC2418 incorporate a highly
accurate on-chip oscillator. This eliminates the need for
external frequency setting components such as crystals or
oscillators. Clocked by the on-chip oscillator, the
LTC2418
achieve a minimum of 110dB rejection at the line
LTC2414/
frequency (50Hz or 60Hz ± 2%).
Ease of Use
The LTC2414/LTC2418 data output has no latency, filter
settling delay or redundant data associated with the
conversion cycle. There is a one-to-one correspondence
between the conversion and the output data. Therefore,
multiplexing multiple analog voltages is easy.
The LTC2414/LTC2418 perform offset and full-scale calibrations in every conversion cycle. This calibration is transparent to the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation
described above. The advantage of continuous calibration
is extreme stability of offset and full-scale readings with respect to time, supply voltage change and temperature drift.
Power-Up Sequence
The LTC2414/LTC2418 automatically enter an internal
reset state when the power supply voltage V
drops
CC
below approximately 2V. This feature guarantees the
integrity of the conversion result and of the serial interface
mode selection. (See the 3-wire I/O sections in the Serial
Interface Timing Modes section.)
When the V
voltage rises above this critical threshold,
CC
the converter creates an internal power-on-reset (POR)
signal with a typical duration of 1ms. The POR signal
clears all internal registers. Following the POR signal, the
LTC2414/LTC2418 start a normal conversion cycle and
follow the succession of states described above. The first
conversion result following POR is accurate within the
specifications of the device if the power supply voltage is
restored within the operating range (2.7V to 5.5V) before
the end of the POR time interval.
Reference Voltage Range
The LTC2414/LTC2418 accept a truly differential external
reference voltage. The absolute/common mode voltage

pin.
The LTC2414/LTC2418 can accept a differential reference
voltage from 0.1V to V
. The converter output noise is
CC
determined by the thermal noise of the front-end circuits,
and, as such, its value in nanovolts is nearly constant with
reference voltage. A decrease in reference voltage will not
significantly improve the converter’s effective resolution.
On the other hand, a reduced reference voltage will improve the converter’s overall INL performance. A reduced
reference voltage will also improve the converter performance when operated with an external conversion clock
(external FO signal) at substantially higher output data rates.
Input Voltage Range
The two selected pins are labeled IN
+
and IN– (see Tables
1 and 2). Once selected (either differential or single-ended
multiplexing mode), the analog input is differential with a
common mode range for the IN+ and IN– input pins extending from GND – 0.3V to V
+ 0.3V. Outside
CC
these limits, the ESD protection devices begin to turn on
and the errors due to input leakage current increase rapidly. Within these limits, the LTC2414/LTC2418 convert
the bipolar differential input signal, V

the overrange or the underrange condition using distinct

Input signals applied to IN+ and IN– pins may extend
300mV below ground or above VCC. In order to limit any
fault current, resistors of up to 5k may be added in series
with the IN+ or IN– pins without affecting the performance
of the device. In the physical layout, it is important to
maintain the parasitic capacitance of the connection between these series resistors and the corresponding pins
as low as possible; therefore, the resistors should be
located as close as practical to the pins. In addition, series
resistors will introduce a temperature dependent offset
error due to the input leakage current. A 1nA input leakage
current will develop a 1ppm offset error on a 5k resistor if
V
= 5V. This error has a very strong temperature
REF
dependency.
Input Data Format
When the LTC2414/LTC2418 are powered up, the default
selection used for the first conversion is IN
+
= CH0 and IN
–
= CH1 (Address = 00000). In the data input/output mode
following the first conversion, a channel selection can be
updated using an 8-bit word. The LTC2414/LTC2418
serial input data is clocked into the SDI pin on the rising
edge of SCK (see Figure 3). The input is composed of an
8-bit word with the first 3 bits acting as control bits and the
remaining 5 bits as the channel address bits.
The first 2 bits are always 10 for proper updating operation. The third bit is EN. For EN = 1, the following 5 bits are
used to update the input channel selection. For EN = 0,
previous channel selection is kept and the following bits
are ignored. Therefore, the address is updated when the 3
control bits are 101 and kept for 100. Alternatively, the 3
control bits can be all zero to keep the previous address.
This alternation is intended to simplify the SDI interface
allowing the user to simply connect SDI to ground if no
update is needed. Combinations other than 101, 100 and
000 of the 3 control bits should be avoided.
When update operation is set (101), the following 5 bits
are the channel address. The first bit, SGL, decides if the
differential selection mode (SGL = 0) or the single-ended
selection mode is used (SGL = 1). For SGL = 0, two
adjacent channels can be selected to form a differential
input; for SGL = 1, one of the 8 channels (CH0-CH7) for the
LTC2414 or one of the 16 channels (CH0-CH15) for the
LTC2418 is selected as the positive input and the COM pin
is used as the negative input. For the LTC2414, the lower
half channels (CH0-CH7) are used and the channel address bit A2 should be always 0, see Table 1. While for the
LTC2418, all the 16 channels are used and the size of the
corresponding selection table (Table 2) is doubled from
that of the LTC2414 (Table 1). For a given channel selection, the converter will measure the voltage between the
two channels indicated by IN
+
and IN– in the selected row
of Tables 1 or 2.
