The 3-wire serial I/O, SO-8 packages, 3V operation and
extremely high sample rate-to-power ratio make these
ADCs an ideal choice for compact, high speed systems.
These ADCs can be used in ratiometric applications or
with external references. The high impedance analog inputs and the ability to operate with reduced spans below
1V full scale (LTC1196) allow direct connection to signal
sources in many applications, eliminating the need for
gain stages.
APPLICATIONS
n
The LTC®1196/LTC1198 are 600ns, 8-bit A/D converters
with sampling rates up to 1MHz. They are offered in 8-pin
SO packages and operate on 3V to 6V supplies. Power
dissipation is only 10mW with a 3V supply or 50mW with
a 5V supply. The LTC1198 automatically powers down
to a typical supply current of 1nA whenever it is not
performing conversions. These 8-bit switched-capacitor
successive approximation ADCs include sample-andholds. The LTC1196 has a differential analog input; the
LTC1198 offers a software selectable 2-channel MUX.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 4: Total unadjusted error includes offset, full scale, linearity,
multiplexer and hold step errors.
Note 5: Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 3: Integral nonlinearity is defined as 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.

LTC1196/LTC1198
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
can convert either channel with respect to ground or the
difference between the two. It also automatically powers
down when not performing conversion, drawing only
leakage current.
The LTC1196/LTC1198 are 600ns sampling 8-bit A/D converters packaged in tiny 8-pin SO packages and operating
on 3V to 6V supplies. The ADCs draw only 10mW from a
3V supply or 50mW from a 5V supply.
SERIAL INTERFACE
Both the LTC1196 and the LTC1198 contain an 8-bit,
switched-capacitor ADC, a sample-and-hold, and a serial
port (see the Block Diagram). The on-chip sample-andholds have full-accuracy input bandwidths of 1MHz.
Although they share the same basic design, the LTC1196
and LTC1198 differ in some respects. The LTC1196 has
a differential input and has an external reference input
pin. It can measure signals floating on a DC common
mode voltage and can operate with reduced spans below
1V. The LTC1198 has a 2-channel input multiplexer and
The LTC1196/LTC1198 will interface via three or four wires
to ASICs, PLDs, microprocessors, DSPs, or shift registers
(see Operating Sequence in Figures 1 and 2). To run at their
fastest conversion rates (600ns), they must be clocked at
14.4MHz. HC logic families and any high speed ASIC or
PLD will easily interface to the ADCs at that speed (see
Data Transfer and Typical Application sections). Full speed
operation from a 3V supply can still be achieved with 3V
ASICs, PLDs or HC logic circuits.

LTC1196/LTC1198
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Connection to a microprocessor or a DSP serial port is
quite simple (see the Data Transfer section). It requires no
additional hardware, but the speed will be limited by the
clock rate of the microprocessor or the DSP which limits
the conversion time of the LTC1196/LTC1198.
two null bits and the conversion result are output on the
DOUT line. At the end of the data exchange CS should be
brought HIGH. This resets the LTC1198 in preparation for
the next data exchange.
Data Transfer
The LTC1196 requires no DIN word. It is permanently configured to have a single differential input. The conversion
result is output on the DOUT line in an MSB-first sequence,
followed by zeros indefinitely if clocks are continuously
applied with CS LOW.
Data transfer differs slightly between the LTC1196 and
the LTC1198. The LTC1196 interfaces over three lines:
CS, CLK and DOUT . A falling CS initiates data transfer as
depicted by the LTC1196 Operating Sequence in Figure 1.
After CS falls, the first CLK pulse enables DOUT . After two
null bits, the A/D conversion result is output on the DOUT
line. Bringing CS HIGH resets the LTC1196 for the next
data exchange.
Input Data Word
The LTC1198 clocks data into the DIN input on the rising edge of the clock. The input data word is defined as
follows:
The LTC1198 can transfer data with three or four wires.
The additional input, DIN, is used to select the 2-channel
MUX configuration.
The data transfer between the LTC1198 and the digital
systems can be broken into two sections: Input Data
Word and A/D Conversion Result. First, each bit of the
input data word is captured on the rising CLK edge by the
LTC1198. Second, each bit of the A/D conversion result
on the DOUT line is updated on the rising CLK edge by the
LTC1198. This bit should be captured on the next rising
CLK edge by the digital systems (see the A/D Conversion
Result section).
Data transfer is initiated by a falling chip select (CS) signal
as depicted by the LTC1198 Operating Sequence in Figure 2.
After CS falls, the LTC1198 looks for a START bit. After
the START bit is received, the 4-bit input word is shifted
into the DIN input. The first two bits of the input word
configure the LTC1198. The last two bits of the input word
allow the ADC to acquire the input voltage by 2.5 clocks
before the conversion starts. After the conversion starts,

119698 AI02
START Bit
The first logical one clocked into the DIN input after CS
goes LOW is the START bit. The START bit initiates the data
transfer. The LTC1198 will ignore all leading zeros which
precede this logical one. After the START bit is received,
the remaining bits of the input word will be clocked in.
Further inputs on the DIN pin are then ignored until the
next CS cycle.
Multiplexer (MUX) Address
The two bits of the input word following the START bit assign the MUX configuration for the requested conversion.
For a given channel selection, the converter will measure
the voltage between the two channels indicated by the “+”
and “–” signs in the selected row of the following table.
In single-ended mode, all input channels are measured
with respect to GND.

LTC1196/LTC1198
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Dummy Bits
Unipolar Transfer Curve
The last two bits of the input word following the MUX address are dummy bits. Either bit can be a logical one or a
logical zero. These two bits allow the ADC 2.5 clocks to
acquire the input signal after the channel selection.
The LTC1196/LTC1198 are permanently configured for
unipolar only. The input span and code assignment for this
conversion type are shown in the following figures.
A/D Conversion Result
Both the LTC1196 and the LTC1198 have the A/D conversion result appear on the DOUT line after two null bits (see
the operating sequences in Figures 1 and 2). Data on the
DOUT line is updated on the rising edge of the CLK line.
The DOUT data should also be captured on the rising CLK
edge by the digital systems. Data on the DOUT line remains
valid for a minimum time of thDO (30ns at 5V) to allow the
capture to occur (see Figure 3).

The LTC1198 can be operated with DIN and DOUT tied
together. This eliminates one of the lines required to communicate to the digital systems. Data is transmitted in both
directions on a single wire. The pin of the digital systems
connected to this data line should be configurable as either
an input or an output. The LTC1198 will take control of
the data line and drive it LOW on the fifth falling CLK edge
after the START bit is received (see Figure 4). Therefore,
the port line of the digital systems must be switched to
an input before this happens to avoid a conflict.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION
The LTC1196/LTC1198 can sample at up to a 1MHz rate,
drawing only 50mW from a 5V supply. Power consumption
can be reduced in two ways. Using a 3V supply lowers the
power consumption on both devices by a factor of five,
to 10mW. The LTC1198 can reduce power even further
because it shuts down whenever it is not converting.
Figure 5 shows the supply current versus sample rate for
the LTC1196 and LTC1198 on 3V and 5V. To achieve such
a low power consumption, especially for the LTC1198,
several things must be taken into consideration.
DIN and CLK with CS = HIGH; they can continue to run
without drawing current.
Minimize CS LOW Time (LTC1198)
In systems that have significant time between conversions, lowest power drain will occur with the minimum CS
LOW time. Bringing CS LOW, transferring data as quickly
as possible, then bringing it back HIGH will result in the
lowest current drain. This minimizes the amount of time
the device draws power.

Shutdown (LTC1198)
Figure 2 shows the operating sequence of the LTC1198.
The converter draws power when the CS pin is LOW and
powers itself down when that pin is HIGH. For lowest
power consumption in shutdown, the CS pin should be
driven with CMOS levels (0V to VCC) so that the CS input
buffer of the converter will not draw current.
When the CS pin is HIGH (= supply voltage), the LTC1198
is in shutdown mode and draws only leakage current.
The status of the DIN and CLK input has no effect on the
supply current during this time. There is no need to stop
The input logic levels of CS, CLK and DIN are made to
meet TTL on 5V supply. When the supply voltage varies,
the input logic levels also change (see the Digital Input
Logic Threshold vs Supply Voltage curve in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section). For these two ADCs
to sample and convert correctly, the digital inputs have to
be in the logical LOW and HIGH relative to the operating
supply voltage. If achieving micropower consumption
is desirable on the LTC1198, the digital inputs must go
rail-to-rail between supply voltage and ground (see the
Reducing Power Consumption section).
Clock Frequency
The maximum recommended clock frequency is 14.4MHz
at 25°C for the LTC1196/LTC1198 running off a 5V supply.
With the supply voltage changing, the maximum clock
frequency for the devices also changes (see the Maximum
Clock Rate vs Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). If the supply is reduced,
the clock rate must also be reduced. At 3V, the devices
are specified with a 5.4MHz clock at 25°C.

BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
It is possible to have a digital system running off a 5V supply
and communicate with the LTC1196/LTC1198 operating on
a 3V supply. Achieving this reduces the outputs of DOUT
from the ADCs to toggle the equivalent input of the digital
system. The CS, CLK and DIN inputs of the ADCs will take
5V signals from the digital system without causing any
problem (see the Digital Input Logic Threshold vs Supply
Voltage curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section). With the LTC1196 operating on a 3V supply, the
output of DOUT only goes between 0V and 3V. This signal
easily meets TTL levels (see Figure 6).

Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC1196/LTC1198 are easy to use if some care is
taken. They should be used with an analog ground plane
and single-point grounding techniques. The GND pin
should be tied directly to the ground plane.
The VCC pin should be bypassed to the ground plane with a
1μF tantalum with leads as short as possible. If the power
supply is clean, the LTC1196/LTC1198 can also operate
with smaller 0.1μF surface mount or ceramic bypass capacitors. All analog inputs should be referenced directly to
the single-point ground. Digital inputs and outputs should
be shielded from and/or routed away from the reference
and analog circuitry.

Both the LTC1196 and the LTC1198 provide a built-in
sample-and-hold (S&H) function to acquire the input
signal. The S&H acquires the input signal from “+” input
during tSMPL as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The S&H of the
LTC1198 can sample input signals in either single-ended
or differential mode (see Figure 7).

LTC1196/LTC1198
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Single-Ended Inputs
“+” Input Settling
The sample-and-hold of the LTC1198 allows conversion
of rapidly varying signals. The input voltage is sampled
during the tSMPL time as shown in Figure 7. The sampling
interval begins as the bit preceding the first dummy bit
is shifted in and continues until the falling CLK edge after
the second dummy bit is received. On this falling edge, the
S&H goes into hold mode and the conversion begins.
The input capacitor of the LTC1196 is switched onto
“+” input at the end of the conversion and samples the
input signal until the conversion begins (see Figure 1).
The input capacitor of the LTC1198 is switched onto “+”
input during the sample phase (tSMPL, see Figure 7). The
sample phase is 2.5 CLK cycles before conversion starts.
The voltage on the “+” input must settle completely within
tSMPL for the LTC1196/LTC1198. Minimizing RSOURCE+
will improve the input settling time. If a large “+” input
source resistance must be used, the sample time can be
increased by allowing more time between conversions
for the LTC1196 or by using a slower CLK frequency for
the LTC1198.
Differential Inputs
With differential inputs, the ADC no longer converts just a
single voltage but rather the difference between two voltages. In this case, the voltage on the selected “+” input
is still sampled and held and therefore may be rapidly
time varying just as in single-ended mode. However, the
voltage on the selected “–” input must remain constant
and be free of noise and ripple throughout the conversion
time. Otherwise, the differencing operation may not be
performed accurately. The conversion time is 8.5 CLK
cycles. Therefore, a change in the “–” input voltage during
this interval can cause conversion errors. For a sinusoidal
voltage on the “–” input, this error would be:
VERROR(MAX) = VPEAK • 2 • π • f(–) • 8.5/fCLK
where f(“–”) is the frequency of the “–” input voltage, VPEAK
is its peak amplitude and fCLK is the frequency of the CLK.
VERROR is proportional to f(–) and inversely proportional
to fCLK. For a 60Hz signal on the “–” input to generate a
1/4LSB error (5mV) with the converter running at CLK =
12MHz, its peak value would have to be 18.7V.
ANALOG INPUTS
Because of the capacitive redistribution A/D conversion
techniques used, the analog inputs of the LTC1196/LTC1198
have one capacitive switching input current spike per
conversion. These current spikes settle quickly and do
not cause a problem. However, if source resistances larger
than 100Ω are used or if slow settling op amps drive the
inputs, care must be taken to insure that the transients
caused by the current spikes settle completely before the
conversion begins.
“–” Input Settling
At the end of the tSMPL, the input capacitor switches to the
“–” input and conversion starts (see Figures 1 and 7). During
the conversion, the “+” input voltage is effectively “held”
by the sample-and-hold and will not affect the conversion
result. However, it is critical that the “–” input voltage settle
completely during the first CLK cycle of the conversion time
and be free of noise. Minimizing RSOURCE– will improve
settling time. If a large “–” input source resistance must
be used, the time allowed for settling can be extended by
using a slower CLK frequency.
Input Op Amps
When driving the analog inputs with an op amp it is important that the op amp settle within the allowed time (see
Figures 1 and 7). Again, the “+” and “–” input sampling
times can be extended as described above to accommodate
slower op amps.
To achieve the full sampling rate, the analog input should
be driven with a low impedance source ( 7)

PLD Interface Using the Altera EPM5064
The Altera EPM5064 has been chosen to demonstrate the
interface between the LTC1196 and a PLD. The EPM5064
is programmed to be a 12-bit counter and an equivalent
74HC595 8-bit shift register, as shown in Figure 12. The
circuit works as follows: bringing ENA HIGH makes the CS
output HIGH and the EN input LOW to reset the LTC1196
and disable the shift register. Bringing ENA LOW, the CS
output goes HIGH for one CLK cycle with every 12 CLK
cycles. The inverted signal, EN, of the CS output makes
the 8-bit data available on the B0-B7 lines. Figures 13 and
14 show the interconnection between the LTC1196 and
EPM5064 and the timing diagram of the signals between
these two devices. The CLK frequency in this circuit can
run up to fCLK(MAX) of the LTC1196.

for speed of transfer and minimum processor supervision,
can complete a conversion and shift the data in 4μs with
fCLK = 5MHz. The cycle time, 4μs, of each conversion is

5MHz. At 2.7V, fCLK = 5MHz will work at 25°C. See the
Recommended Operating Conditions table in the Electrical
Characteristics section for limits over temperature.
Hardware Description
The circuit works as follows: the LTC1198 clock line
controls the A/D conversion rate and the data shift rate.
Data is transferred in a synchronous format over DIN and
DOUT . The serial port of the TMS320C25 is compatible
with that of the LTC1198. The data shift clock lines (CLKR,
CLKX) are inputs only. The data shift clock comes from
an external source. Inverting the shift clock is necessary
because the LTC1198 and the TMS320C25 clock the input
data on opposite edges.
The schematic of Figure 15 is fed by an external clock
source. The signal is fed into the CLK pin of the LTC1198
directly. The signal is inverted with a 74HC04 and then
applied to the data shift clock lines (CLKR, CLKX). The
framing pulse of the TMS320C25 is fed directly to the CS
of the LTC1198. DX and DR are tied directly to DIN and
DOUT, respectively.

Software Description
The software configures and controls the serial port of
the TMS320C25.
The code first sets up the interrupt and reset vectors. On
reset the TMS320C25 starts executing code at the label
INIT. Upon completion of a 16-bit data transfer, an interrupt is generated and the DSP will begin executing code
at the label RINT.
In the beginning, the code initializes registers in the
TMS320C25 that will be used in the transfer routine. The
interrupts are temporarily disabled. The data memory page
pointer register is set to zero. The auxiliary register pointer
is loaded with one and auxiliary register one is loaded with
the value 200 hexadecimal. This is the data memory location where the data from the LTC1198 will be stored. The
interrupt mask register (IMR) is configured to recognize
the RINT interrupt, which is generated after receiving the
last of 16 bits on the serial port. This interrupt is still disabled at this time. The transmit framing synchronization
pin (FSX) is configured to be an output. The F0 bit of the
status register ST1, is initialized to zero which sets up the
serial port to operate in the 16-bit mode.
Next, the code in TXRX routine starts to transmit and
receive data. The DIN word is loaded into the ACC and
shifted left eight times so that it appears as in Figure 18.
This DIN word configures the LTC1198 for CH0 with respect
to CH1. The DIN word is then put in the transmit register
and the RINT interrupt is enabled. The NOP is repeated
3 times to mask out the interrupts and minimize the cycle
time of the conversion to be 20 clock cycles. All clocking
and CS functions are performed by the hardware.
