The LTC®2323-16 is a low noise, high speed dual 16-bit
successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with
differential inputs and wide input common mode range.
Operating from a single 3.3V or 5V supply, the LTC2323-16
has an 8VP-P differential input range, making it ideal for
applications which require a wide dynamic range with high
common mode rejection. The LTC2323-16 achieves ±4LSB
INL typical, no missing codes at 16 bits and 81dB SNR.
n
The LTC2323-16 has an onboard low drift (20ppm/°C max)
2.048V or 4.096V temperature-compensated reference.
The LTC2323-16 also has a high speed SPI-compatible
serial interface that supports CMOS or LVDS. The fast
5Msps per channel throughput with one-cycle latency
makes the LTC2323-16 ideally suited for a wide variety of
high speed applications. The LTC2323-16 dissipates only
40mW per channel and offers nap and sleep modes to
reduce the power consumption to 5μW for further power
savings during inactive periods.

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 ground.
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below ground, or above VDD
or OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
input currents up to 100mA below ground, or above VDD or OVDD, without
latch-up.
Note 4: VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, REFOUT1,2 = 4.096V, fSMPL = 5MHz.
Note 5: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 6: Integral nonlinearity 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 7: Bipolar zero error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 1111
1111 1111 1111. Full-scale bipolar error is the worst-case of –FS or
2.5
10
ms
+FS un-trimmed deviation from ideal first and last code transitions and
includes the effect of offset error.
Note 8: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale ±4.096V input
with REFIN = 4.096V.
Note 9: When REFOUT1,2 is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must
be turned off by setting REFINT = 0V.
Note 10: fSMPL = 5MHz, IREFBUF varies proportionally with sample rate.
Note 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 12: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V and
OVDD = 2.5V.
Note 13: tSCK of 9.4ns maximum allows a shift clock frequency up to
105MHz for rising edge capture.
Note 14: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 15: CNV is driven from a low jitter digital source, typically at OVDD
logic levels. This input pin has a TTL style input that will draw a small
amount of current.

PIN FUNCTIONS
VDD (Pins 1, 8): Power Supply. Bypass VDD to GND with
a 10µF ceramic and a 0.1µF ceramic close to the part. The
VDD pins should be shorted together and driven from the
same supply.
AIN2+, AIN2– (Pins 2, 3): Analog Differential Input Pins.
Full-scale range (AIN2+ – AIN2–) is ±REFOUT2 voltage.
These pins can be driven from VDD to GND.
GND (Pins 4, 5, 10, 29): Ground. These pins and exposed
pad (Pin 29) must be tied directly to a solid ground plane.
AIN1–, AIN1+ (Pins 6, 7): Analog Differential Input Pins.
Full-scale range (AIN1+ – AIN1–) is ±REFOUT1 voltage.
These pins can be driven from VDD to GND.
CNV (Pin 9): Conversion Start Input. A falling edge on CNV
puts the internal sample-and-hold into the hold mode and
starts a conversion cycle. CNV must be driven by a low
jitter clock as shown in the application circuit on page 26.
The CNV pin is unaffected by the CMOS/LVDS pin.
REFRTN1 (Pin 11): Reference Buffer 1 Output Return.
Bypass REFRTN1 to REFOUT1. Do not tie the REFRTN1
pin to the ground plane.
REFOUT1 (Pin 12): Reference Buffer 1 Output. An onboard
buffer nominally outputs 4.096V to this pin. This pin is
referred to REFRTN1 and should be decoupled closely to
the pin (no vias) with a 0.1µF (X7R, 0402 size) capacitor
and a 10μF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic capacitor in parallel. The internal buffer driving this pin may be disabled
by grounding the REFINT pin. If the buffer is disabled,
an external reference may drive this pin in the range of
1.25V to 5V.
VBYP1 (Pin 13): Bypass this internally supplied pin to
ground with a 1µF ceramic capacitor. The nominal output
voltage on this pin is 1.6V.
OVDD (Pin 14): I/O Interface Digital Power. The range of
OVDD is 1.71V to 2.5V. This supply is nominally set to
the same supply as the host interface (CMOS: 1.8V or
2.5V, LVDS: 2.5V). Bypass OVDD to OGND with a 0.1μF
capacitor.
SDO1+, SDO1– (Pins 15, 16): Channel 1 Serial Data
Output. The conversion result is shifted MSB first on each

differentially on SDO1+ and SDO1–. These pins must be
differentially terminated by an external 100Ω resistor at
the receiver (FPGA).

Output. CLKOUT provides a skew-matched clock to latch
the SDO output at the receiver. In CMOS mode, the skewmatched clock is output on CLKOUT+. The logic level is

throughput applications using SCK to latch the SDO output, CLKOUT+ can be disabled by tying CLKOUT– to OVDD.
In LVDS mode, the skew-matched clock is output differentially on CLKOUT+ and CLKOUT–. These pins must be
differentially terminated by an external 100Ω resistor at
the receiver (FPGA).
SDO2+, SDO2– (Pins 19, 20): Channel 2 Serial Data
Output. The conversion result is shifted MSB first on each
falling edge of SCK. In CMOS mode, the result is output
on SDO2+. The logic level is determined by OVDD. Do
not connect SDO2–. In LVDS mode, the result is output
differentially on SDO2+ and SDO2–. These pins must be
differentially terminated by an external 100Ω resistor at
the receiver (FPGA).
SCK+, SCK– (Pins 21, 22): Serial Data Clock Input. The
falling edge of this clock shifts the conversion result MSB
first onto the SDO pins. In CMOS mode, drive SCK+ with
a single-ended clock. The logic level is determined by
OVDD. Do not connect SCK–. In LVDS mode, drive SCK+
and SCK– with a differential clock. These pins must be
differentially terminated by an external 100Ω resistor at
the receiver (ADC).

LTC2323-16
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The LTC2323-16 is a low noise, high speed 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with differential
inputs and a wide input common mode range. Operating
from a single 3.3V or 5V supply, the LTC2323-16 has an
8VP-P differential input range, making it ideal for applications which require a wide dynamic range. The LTC232316 achieves ±4LSB INL typical, no missing codes at 16
bits and 81dB SNR.
The LTC2323-16 has an onboard reference buffer and low
drift (20ppm/°C max) 4.096V temperature-compensated
reference. The LTC2323-16 also has a high speed SPIcompatible serial interface that supports CMOS or LVDS.
The fast 5Msps per channel throughput with one-cycle
latency makes the LTC2323-16 ideally suited for a wide
variety of high speed applications. The LTC2323-16 dissipates only 45mW per channel. Nap and sleep modes
are also provided to reduce the power consumption of
the LTC2323-16 during inactive periods for further power
savings.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2323-16 operates in two phases. During the
acquisition phase, the sample capacitor is connected to
the analog input pins AIN+ and AIN – to sample the differential analog input voltage, as shown in Figure 3. A
falling edge on the CNV pin initiates a conversion. During
the conversion phase, the 16-bit CDAC is sequenced
through a successive approximation algorithm for each
input SCK pulse, effectively comparing the sampled input
with binary-weighted fractions of the reference voltage
(e.g., VREFOUT/2, VREFOUT/4 … VREFOUT/32768) using a
differential comparator. At the end of conversion, a CDAC
output approximates the sampled analog input. The ADC
control logic then prepares the 16-bit digital output code
for serial transfer.
TRANSFER FUNCTION
The LTC2323-16 digitizes the full-scale voltage of 2 ×
REFOUT1,2 into 216 levels, resulting in an LSB size of
125µV with REFBUF = 4.096V. The ideal transfer function
is shown in Figure 2. The output data is in 2’s complement format.
Analog Input
The differential inputs of the LTC2323-16 provide great
flexibility to convert a wide variety of analog signals with
no configuration required. The LTC2323-16 digitizes the
difference voltage between the AIN+ and AIN– pins while
supporting a wide common mode input range. The analog
input signals can have an arbitrary relationship to each
other, provided that they remain between VDD and GND.
The LTC2323-16 can also digitize more limited classes of
analog input signals such as pseudo-differential unipolar/
bipolar and fully differential with no configuration required.
The analog inputs of the LTC2323-16 can be modeled
by the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 3. The back-toback diodes at the inputs form clamps that provide ESD

sampling capacitor in series with approximately 15Ω
(RON) from the on-resistance of the sampling switch is
connected to the input. Any unwanted signal that is common to both inputs will be reduced by the common mode
rejection of the ADC sampler. The inputs of the ADC core
draw a small current spike while charging the CIN capacitors during acquisition.
signals, with no configuration required. The wide common
mode input range relaxes the accuracy requirements of
any signal conditioning circuits prior to the analog inputs.
Pseudo-Differential Bipolar Input Range
The pseudo-differential bipolar configuration represents
driving one of the analog inputs at a fixed voltage, typically VREF /2, and applying a signal to the other AIN pin. In
this case the analog input swings symmetrically around
the fixed input yielding bipolar two’s complement output
codes with an ADC span of half of full-scale. This configuration is illustrated in Figure 4, and the corresponding
transfer function in Figure 5. The fixed analog input pin
need not be set at VREF /2, but at some point within the VDD
rails allowing the alternate input to swing symmetrically
around this voltage. If the input signal (AIN+ – AIN–) swings
beyond ±REFOUT1,2/2, valid codes will be generated by
the ADC and must be clamped by the user, if necessary.
Single-Ended Signals
Single-ended signals can be directly digitized by the
LTC2323-16. These signals should be sensed pseudodifferentially for improved common mode rejection. By
connecting the reference signal (e.g., ground sense) of
the main analog signal to the other AIN pin, any noise or
disturbance common to the two signals will be rejected
by the high CMRR of the ADC. The LTC2323-16 flexibility handles both pseudo-differential unipolar and bipolar

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion
While single-ended signals can be directly digitized as
previously discussed, single-ended to differential conversion circuits may also be used when higher dynamic range
is desired. By producing a differential signal at the inputs
of the LTC2323-16, the signal swing presented to the ADC
is maximized, thus increasing the achievable SNR.
The LT®1819 high speed dual operational amplifier is
recommended for performing single-ended-to-differential conversions, as shown in Figure 8. In this case, the
first amplifier is configured as a unity-gain buffer and the
single-ended input signal directly drives the high impedance input of this amplifier.
Fully-Differential Inputs
To achieve the full distortion performance of the LTC2323-16,
a low distortion fully-differential signal source driven
through the LT1819 configured as two unity-gain buffers,
as shown in Figure 9, can be used. This circuit achieves
the full data sheet THD specification of –85dB at input
frequencies of 500kHz and less. Data sheet typical performance curves taken at higher frequencies used a harmonic
VREF
0V
200Ω
VREF /2
The fully-differential configuration yields an analog input
span (AIN+ – AIN –) of ±REFOUT1,2. In this configuration,
the input signal is driven on each AIN pin, typically at
equal spans but opposite polarity. This yields a high common mode rejection on the input signals. The common
mode voltage of the analog input can be anywhere within
the VDD input range, but will be limited by the peak swing
of the full-range input signal. For example, if the internal
reference is used with VDD = 5VDC, the full-range input
span will be ±4.096V. Half of the input span is typically
driven on each AIN pin, yielding a signal span for each
AIN pin of 4.096VP-P. This leaves ~0.9V of common mode
variation tolerance. When using external references, it is
possible to increase common mode tolerance by compressing the ADC full-range codes into a tighter range.
For example, using an external 2.048V reference with VDD
= 5V the total span would be ±2.048V and each AIN span
would be limited to 2.048VP-P allowing a common mode
range of ~3V. Compressing the input span would incur a
SNR penalty of approximately 2dB. Input span compression may be useful if single-supply analog input drivers

important even for DC inputs, because the ADC inputs
draw a current spike when during acquisition.
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used to
drive the analog inputs of the LTC2323-16. The amplifier
provides low output impedance to minimize gain error
and allow for fast settling of the analog signal during the
acquisition phase. It also provides isolation between the
signal source and the ADC inputs, which draw a small
current spike during acquisition.
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
A low impedance source can directly drive the high impedance inputs of the LTC2323-16 without gain error. A high
impedance source should be buffered to minimize settling time during acquisition and to optimize the distortion performance of the ADC. Minimizing settling time is

Input Filtering
ADC REFERENCE
The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifier and signal
source must be considered since they add to the ADC
noise and distortion. Noisy input signals should be filtered
prior to the buffer amplifier input with a low bandwidth
filter to minimize noise. The simple 1-pole RC lowpass filter shown in Figure 12 is sufficient for many applications.
Internal Reference
The input resistor divider network, sampling switch onresistance (RON) and the sample capacitor (CIN) form a
second lowpass filter that limits the input bandwidth to
the ADC core to 110MHz. A buffer amplifier with a low
noise density must be selected to minimize the degradation of the SNR over this bandwidth.
High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in
the RC filters since these components can add distortion. NPO and silver mica type dielectric capacitors have
excellent linearity. Carbon surface mount resistors can
generate distortion from self heating and from damage
that may occur during soldering. Metal film surface mount
resistors are much less susceptible to both problems.

The LTC2323-16 has an on-chip, low noise, low drift

of a 0.1µF (X7R, 0402 size) capacitor and a 10μF (X5R,

buffer and minimize noise. The 0.1µF capacitor should
be as close as possible to the LTC2323-16 package to
minimize wiring inductance. Tie the REFINT pin to VDD to
enable the internal reference buffer.

External Reference
The internal reference buffer can also be overdriven from
1.25V to 5V with an external reference at REFOUT1,2
as shown in Figure 13 (b and c). To do so, REFINT must
be grounded to disable the reference buffer. A 55k internal resistance loads the REFOUT1,2 pins when the reference buffer is disabled. To maximize the input signal
swing and corresponding SNR, the LTC6655-5 is recommended when overdriving REFOUT. The LTC6655-5
offers the same small size, accuracy, drift and extended
temperature range as the LTC6655-4.096. By using a 5V
reference, a higher SNR can be achieved. We recommend
bypassing the LTC6655-5 with a parallel combination of
a 0.1µF (X7R, 0402 size) ceramic capacitor and a 10μF
ceramic capacitor (X5R, 0805 size) close to each of the
REFOUT1,2 and REFRTN1,2 pins.
Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response
The REFOUT1,2 pins of the LTC2323-16 draw charge
(QCONV) from the external bypass capacitors during each
conversion cycle. If the internal reference buffer is overdriven, the external reference must provide all of this charge
with a DC current equivalent to IREF = QCONV/tCYC.
Thus, the DC current draw of REFOUT1,2 depends
on the sampling rate and output code. In applications

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
periods, as shown in Figure 14 , IREFBUF quickly goes from
approximately ~75µA to a maximum of 500µA for REFOUT
= 5V at 5Msps. This step in DC current draw triggers a
transient response in the external reference that must be
considered since any deviation in the voltage at REFOUT
will affect the accuracy of the output code. Due to the
one-cycle conversion latency, the first conversion result at
the beginning of a burst sampling period will be invalid. If
an external reference is used to overdrive REFOUT1,2 the
fast settling LTC6655 reference is recommended.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) 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. The LTC2323-16 provides
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise
measurements.

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio between the
RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and
the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
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 (fSMPL /2). THD is expressed as:
THD= 20log
V22 + V32 + V42 +…+ VN2
V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental
frequency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the
second through Nth harmonics.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The LTC2323-16 requires two power supplies: the 5V
power supply (VDD), and the digital input/output interface
power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply allows
the LTC2323-16 to communicate with any digital logic
operating between 1.8V and 2.5V. When using LVDS I/O,
the OVDD supply must be set to 2.5V.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2323-16 does not have any specific power supply sequencing requirements. Care should be taken to
adhere to the maximum voltage relationships described
in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The LTC232316 has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2323-16 at initial power-up or whenever the power
supply voltage drops below 2V. Once the supply voltage
re-enters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR will
reinitialize the ADC. No conversions should be initiated
until 10ms after a POR event to ensure the reinitialization
period has ended. Any conversions initiated before this
time will produce invalid results.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TIMING AND CONTROL
capture the SDO output eases timing requirements at the
receiver. For low throughput speed applications, CLKOUT+
can be disabled by tying CLKOUT– to OVDD.
CNV Timing
A rising edge on CNV initiates the acquisition phase and
puts the internal sample-and-hold into the sample mode.
A falling edge on CNV puts the internal sample-and-hold
into the hold mode and starts a conversion cycle. The
CNV pulse must be at least 25ns wide for proper operation. CNV must be driven by a fast low jitter signal with a
fall time from OVDD to below 100mV of less than 1ns. To
achieve this fast falling edge, the distance from the CNV
source to the CNV pin should be minimized. The trace
for this pulse should be kept as narrow as possible and
routed away from adjacent traces or planes to minimize
capacitance. The drive strength of the gate driving the
CNV line must be sufficient to yield a fast falling edge at
the ADC pin to below 100mV. We recommend the applications circuit on page 26, which uses a high speed flip-flop
to generate the CNV pulse to the ADC, eliminating the
effect of jitter from the FPGA. If jitter from the FPGA is
not a concern, the flip-flop can be eliminated and replaced
with an inverter such as the NC7SZ04P5X
SCK Serial Data Clock Input
The falling edge of this clock shifts the conversion
result MSB first onto the SDO pins. A 105MHz external
clock must be applied at the SCK pin to achieve 5Msps
throughput.
CLKOUT Serial Data Clock Output
The CLKOUT output provides a skew-matched clock to
latch the SDO output at the receiver. The timing skew
of the CLKOUT and SDO outputs are matched. For high
throughput applications, using CLKOUT instead of SCK to
CNV

Nap/Sleep Modes
Nap mode is a method to save power without sacrificing
power-up delays for subsequent conversions. Sleep mode
has substantial power savings, but a power-up delay is
incurred to allow the reference and power systems to
become valid. To enter nap mode on the LTC2323-16,
the SCK signal must be held high or low and a series
of two CNV pulses must be applied. This is the case for
both CMOS and LVDS modes. The second rising edge of
CNV initiates the nap state. The nap state will persist until
either a single rising edge of SCK is applied, or further
CNV pulses are applied. The SCK rising edge will put the
LTC2323-16 back into the operational (full-power) state.
When in nap mode, two additional pulses will put the
LTC2323-16 in sleep mode. When configured for CMOS
I/O operation, a single rising edge of SCK can return the
LTC2323-16 into operational mode. A 10ms delay is necessary after exiting sleep mode to allow the reference buffer to recharge the external filter capacitor. In LVDS mode,
exit sleep mode by supplying a fifth CNV pulse. The fifth
pulse will return the LTC2323-16 to operational mode,
and further SCK pulses will keep the part from re-entering
nap and sleep modes. The fifth SCK pulse also works in
CMOS mode as a method to exit sleep. In the absence of
SCK pulses, repetitive CNV pulses will cycle the LTC232316 between operational, nap and sleep modes indefinitely.
Refer to the timing diagrams in Figure 18, Figure 19, Figure 20
and Figure 21 for more detailed timing information about
sleep and nap modes.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2323-16 features a serial digital interface that
is simple and straight forward to use. The flexible OVDD
supply allows the LTC2323-16 to communicate with any
digital logic operating between 1.8V and 2.5V. A 105MHz
external clock must be applied at the SCK pin to achieve
5Msps throughput.
In addition to a standard CMOS SPI interface, the
LTC2323‑16 provides an optional LVDS SPI interface to
support low noise digital design. The CMOS/LVDS pin is
used to select the digital interface mode.
The falling edge of SCK outputs the conversion result MSB
first on the SDO pins. CLKOUT provides a skew-matched
clock to latch the SDO output at the receiver. The timing
LTC2323-16
skew of the CLKOUT and SDO outputs are matched. For
high throughput applications, using CLKOUT instead of
SCK to capture the SDO output eases timing requirements
at the receiver.
In CMOS mode, use the SDO1+, SDO2+ and CLKOUT+
pins as outputs. Use the SCK+ pin as an input. Do not
connect the SDO1–, SDO2–, SCK– and CLKOUT– pins,
as they each have internal pull-down circuitry to OGND.
In LVDS mode, use the SDO1+/SDO1–, SDO2+/SDO2– and
CLKOUT+/CLKOUT– pins as differential outputs. These
pins must be differentially terminated by an external 100Ω
resistor at the receiver (FPGA). The SCK+/SCK– pins are
differential inputs and must be terminated differentially by
an external 100Ω resistor at the receiver (ADC).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
BOARD LAYOUT
Recommended Layout
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2323-16,
a printed circuit board is recommended. Layout for the
printed circuit board (PCB) should ensure the digital and
analog signal lines are separated as much as possible.
In particular, care should be taken not to run any digital
clocks or signals adjacent to analog signals or underneath
the ADC.
The following is an example of a recommended PCB layout. A single solid ground plane is used. Bypass capacitors to the supplies are placed as close as possible to the
supply pins. Low impedance common returns for these
bypass capacitors are essential to the low noise operation of the ADC. The analog input traces are screened by
ground. For more details and information, refer to the
DC1996, the evaluation kit for the LTC2323-16.
