LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 100ksps/250ksps/500ksps, 12-Bit Serial ADCs in TSOT-23 DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 are 100ksps/250ksps/ 500ksps, 12-bit, sampling A/D converters that draw only 0.5mA, 0.75mA and 1.1mA, respectively, from a single 3V supply. The supply current drops at lower sampling rates because these devices automatically power down after conversions. The full-scale input of the LTC2360/ LTC2361/LTC2362 is 0V to VDD or VREF. These ADCs are available in tiny 6- and 8-lead TSOT-23 packages. The serial interface, tiny TSOT-23 package and extremely high sample rate-to-power ratio make the LTC2360/ LTC2361/LTC2362 ideal for compact, low power, high speed systems. The high impedance single-ended analog input and the ability to operate with reduced spans (down to 1.4V full scale) allow direct connection to sensors and transducers in many applications, eliminating the need for gain stages.

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 affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to GND. Note 3: When pins AIN and VREF are taken below GND or above VDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. These products can handle input currents greater than 100mA below GND or above VDD without latch-up. Note 4: VDD = OVDD = VREF = 2.35V to 3.6V, fSMPL = fSMPL(MAX) and fSCK = fSCK(MAX) unless otherwise specified. Note 5: Integral linearity 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 6: Linearity, offset and gain specifications apply for a single-ended AIN input with respect to GND. Note 7: Typical RMS noise at code transitions. Note 8: Guaranteed by characterization. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 2ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6V. Note 9: All timing specifications given are with a 10pF capacitance load. With a capacitance load greater than this value, a digital buffer or latch must be used. Note 10: The time required for the output to cross the VIH or VIL voltage. Note 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test. Note 12: High temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at temperatures greater than 105°C.

LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 PIN FUNCTIONS
S6 Package VDD (Pin 1): Positive Supply. The VDD range is 2.35V to 3.6V. VDD also defines the input span of the ADC, 0V to VDD. Bypass to GND and to a solid ground plane with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor (or 2.2μF tantalum in parallel with 0.1μF ceramic). GND (Pin 2): Ground. The GND pin must be tied directly to a solid ground plane. AIN (Pin 3): Analog Input. AIN is a single-ended input with respect to GND with a range from 0V to VDD. SCK (Pin 4): Shift Clock Input. The SCK serial clock synchronizes the serial data transfer. SDO data transitions on the falling edge of SCK. SDO (Pin 5): Three-State Serial Data Output. The A/D conversion result is shifted out on SDO as a serial data stream with MSB first. The data stream consists of 12 bits of conversion data followed by trailing zeros. CONV (Pin 6): Convert Input.

LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DC PERFORMANCE The noise of an ADC can be evaluated in two ways: signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the frequency domain and histogram in the time domain. The LTC2360/LTC2361/ LTC2362 excel in both. Figure 5 demonstrates that the LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 have an SNR of over 73dB. The noise in the time domain histogram is the transition noise associated with a 12-bit resolution ADC which can be measured with a fixed DC signal applied to the input of the ADC. The resulting output codes are collected over a large number of conversions. The shape of the distribution of codes will give an indication of the magnitude of the transition noise. In Figure 4, the distribution of output codes is shown for a DC input that has been digitized 16384 times. The distribution is Gaussian and the RMS code transition is about 0.32LSB. This corresponds to a noise level of 73dB relative to a full scale of 3V.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE The LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 have excellent high speed sampling capability. Fast fourier transform (FFT) test techniques are used to test the ADCs’ 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 ADCs’ spectral content can be examined for frequencies outside the fundamental. Figures 5 and 6 show typical LTC2361 and LTC2362 FFT plots respectively.

Signal-to-Noise plus Distortion Ratio The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SINAD) 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 above DC and below half the sampling frequency. Figure 6 shows a typical FFT with a 500kHz sampling rate and a 248kHz input. The dynamic performance is excellent for input frequencies up to and beyond the Nyquist frequency of 250kHz. Effective Number of Bits The effective number of bits (ENOB) is a measurement of the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to SINAD by the equation: ENOB = SINAD – 1.76 6.02 rate of 500kHz, the LTC2362 maintains ENOB above 11 bits up to the Nyquist input frequency of 250kHz (refer to Figure 7). Total Harmonic Distortion The 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. THD is expressed as: THD = 20log V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + ...Vn 2 V1
where ENOB is the effective number of bits of resolution and SINAD is expressed in dB. At the maximum sampling
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the second through nth harmonics. THD vs. Input Frequency is shown in Figure 8. The LTC2362 has excellent distortion performance up to the Nyquist frequency and beyond.

LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Intermodulation Distortion If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can produce intermoduation distortion (IMD) in addition to THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different frequency. If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function can create distortion products at the sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. For example, the 2nd order IMD terms include (fa ± fb). If the two input sine waves are equal in magnitude, the value (in decibels) of the 2nd order IMD products can be expressed by the following formula: IMD ( fa ± fb ) = 20log Amplitude at ( fa ± fb ) Amplitude at fa Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral component excluding the input signal and DC. This value is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of a full-scale input signal. Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which the amplitude of reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3dB for full-scale input signal. The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which the SINAD has dropped to 68dB (11 effective bits). The LTC2362 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; SINAD becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies far beyond Nyquist.

LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW The LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 use a successive approximation algorithm and internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an analog signal to a 12-bit serial output. All devices operate from a single 2.35V to 3.6V supply. The conversion time of the devices is controlled by an internal oscillator, which allows the LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 to sample at a rate of 100ksps, 250ksps and 500ksps respectively. The LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 contain a 12-bit, switchedcapacitor ADC, a sample-and-hold, a serial interface(see Block Diagram) and are available in tiny 6- or 8-lead TSOT-23 packages. The S6 package of the LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 uses VDD as the reference and has an analog input range of 0V to VDD. The ADC samples the analog input with respect to GND and outputs the result through the serial interface. The TS8 package provides two additional pins: a reference pin, VREF, and an output supply pin, OVDD. The ADC can operate with reduced spans down to 1.4V and achieve 342μV resolution. OVDD controls the output swing of the digital output pin, SDO, and allows the device to communicate with 1.8V, 2.5V or 3V digital systems. SERIAL INTERFACE The LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 communicate with microcontrollers, DSPs and other external circuitry via a 3-wire interface. Figure 10 shows the operating sequence of the serial interface. Data Transfer A rising CONV edge starts a conversion and disables SDO. After the conversion, the ADC automatically goes into sleep mode, drawing only leakage current. CONV going low enables SDO and clocks out the MSB bit, B11. SCK then synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being transmitted on the falling SCK edge and can be captured on the rising SCK edge. After completing the data transfer, if further SCK clocks are applied with CONV low, SDO will output zeros indefinitely (see Figure 10). For example, 16-clocks at SCK will produce the 12-bit data and four trailing zeros on SDO. SLEEP MODE The LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 enter sleep mode to save power after each conversion if CONV remains high. In sleep mode, all bias currents are shut down and only leakage currents remain (about 0.1μA). The sample-and-hold is in hold mode while the ADC is in sleep mode. The ADC returns to sample mode after the falling edge of CONV during power-up (see Figure 10). Exiting Sleep Mode and Power-Up Time By taking CONV low, the ADC powers up and acquires an input signal completely after the aquisition time (tACQ). After tACQ, the ADC can perform a conversion as described in the Serial Interface section (see Figure 10).

LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ACHIEVING MICROPOWER PERFORMANCE With typical operating currents of 0.5mA, 0.75mA and 1.1mA for the LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 and automatically entering sleep mode right after a conversion, these devices achieve extremely low power consumption over a wide range of sample rates (see Figure 11). The sleep mode allows the supply current to drop with reduced sample rate. Several things must be taken into account to achieve such low power consumption. Minimize Power Consumption in Sleep Mode The LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 enter sleep mode after each conversion if CONV remains high and draw only leakage current (see Figure 10). If the CONV input is not running rail-to-rail, the input logic buffer will draw current. This current may be large compared to the typical supply current. To obtain the lowest supply current, bring the CONV pin to GND when it is low and to VDD when it is high. After the conversion with CONV staying high, the converter is in sleep mode and draws only leakage current. The status of the SCK input has no effect on supply current during this time. For the best performance, hold SCK either high or low while the ADC is converting. Minimize the Device Active Time In systems that have significant time between conversions, the ADC draws a minimal amount of power. Figures 12 and 13 show two ways to minimize the amount of time the ADC draws power. In Figure 12, the ADC draws power during tACQ and tCONV and is in sleep mode for the rest of the time. The conversion results are available at the next CONV falling edge. In Figure 13, the ADC draws twice the power than that in Figure 12, but the conversion results are available during tDATA. The user can use the fastest SCK available in the system to shorten data transfer time, tDATA as long as t4 and t7 are not violated. SDO Loading

Capacitive loading on the digital output can increase power consumption. A 100pF capacitor on the SDO pin can add more than 50μA to the supply current at a 200kHz clock frequency. An extra 50μA or so of current goes into charging and discharging the load capacitor. The same goes for digital lines driven at a high frequency by any logic. The C • V • f currents must be evaluated with the troublesome ones minimized.

SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG INPUT Driving the Analog Input The analog input of the LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 is easy to drive. The input draws only one small current spike while charging the sample-and-hold capacitor with the ADC going into track mode. During the conversion, the analog input draws only a small leakage current. If the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, then the input of the LTC2360/LTC2361/LTC2362 can be driven directly. As source impedance increases, so will acquisition time. For minimum acquisition time with high source impedance, a buffer amplifier should be used. The main requirement is that the amplifier driving the analog input must settle after the small current spike before the next conversion starts (settling time must be less than tACQ for full throughput rate). While choosing an input amplifier, also keep in mind the amount of noise and harmonic distortion the amplifier contributes. 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 (
