The LTC®2348-16 is a 16-bit, low noise 8-channel simultaneous sampling successive approximation register
(SAR) ADC with differential, wide common mode range
inputs. Operating from a 5V low voltage supply, flexible
high voltage supplies, and using the internal reference
and buffer, each channel of this SoftSpanTM ADC can be
independently configured on a conversion-by-conversion
basis to accept ±10.24V, 0V to 10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0V to
5.12V signals. Individual channels may also be disabled
to increase throughput on the remaining channels.
nn
The wide input common mode range and 118dB CMRR of
the LTC2348-16 analog inputs allow the ADC to directly
digitize a variety of signals, simplifying signal chain design. This input signal flexibility, combined with ±1LSB
INL, no missing codes at 16 bits, and 94.4dB SNR, makes
the LTC2348-16 an ideal choice for many high voltage
applications requiring wide dynamic range.
The LTC2348-16 supports pin-selectable SPI CMOS (1.8V
to 5V) and LVDS serial interfaces. Between one and eight
lanes of data output may be employed in CMOS mode,
allowing the user to optimize bus width and throughput.

ADC Timing Characteristics
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: VDDLBYP is the output of an internal voltage regulator, and should
only be connected to a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor to bypass the pin to GND,
as described in the Pin Functions section. Do not connect this pin to any
external circuitry.
Note 4: When these pin voltages are taken below VEE or above VCC, they
will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents
of up to 100mA below VEE or above VCC without latch-up.
Note 5: When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above VDD or
OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
currents of up to 100mA below ground or above VDD or OVDD without
latch-up.
Note 6: –16.5V ≤ VEE ≤ 0V, 0V ≤ VCC ≤ 38V, 10V ≤ (VCC – VEE) ≤ 38V,
VDD = 5V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 7: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 8: Exceeding these limits on any channel may corrupt conversion
results on other channels. Refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings section for
pin voltage limits related to device reliability.
Note 9: VCC = 15V, VEE = –15V, VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, fSMPL = 200ksps,
internal reference and buffer, true bipolar input signal drive in bipolar
SoftSpan ranges, unipolar signal drive in unipolar SoftSpan ranges, unless
otherwise specified.
Note 10: 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 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 12: For bipolar SoftSpan ranges 7, 6, 3, and 2, zero-scale 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
error for these SoftSpan ranges is the worst-case deviation of the first and
last code transitions from ideal and includes the effect of offset error. For
unipolar SoftSpan ranges 5, 4, and 1, zero-scale error is the offset voltage
measured from 0.5LSB when the output code flickers between 0000 0000
0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0000 0001. Full-scale error for these SoftSpan
ranges is the worst-case deviation of the last code transition from ideal
and includes the effect of offset error.
Note 13: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale input in the
relevant SoftSpan input range, except for crosstalk, which is referred to
the crosstalk injection signal amplitude.
Note 14: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 15: When REFBUF is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must
be disabled by setting REFIN = 0V.
Note 16: IREFBUF varies proportionally with sample rate and the number of
active channels.
Note 17: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V, OVDD = 2.5V,
and OVDD = 5.25V.
Note 18: A tSCKI period of 10ns minimum allows a shift clock frequency of
up to 100MHz for rising edge capture.
Note 19: VICM = 1.2V, VID = 350mV for LVDS differential input pairs.

Pin Functions
Pins that are the Same for All Digital I/O Modes
IN0+ to IN7+, IN0− to IN7− (Pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 47, and 48): Positive and Negative
Analog Inputs, Channels 0 to 7. The converter simultaneously samples and digitizes (VIN+ – VIN–) for all channels.
Wide input common mode range (VEE ≤ VCM ≤ VCC – 4V)
and high common mode rejection allow the inputs to accept a wide variety of signal swings. Full-scale input range
is determined by the channel’s SoftSpan configuration.
GND (Pins 15, 18, 20, 30, 41, 44, 46): Ground. Solder
all GND pins to a solid ground plane.
VCC (Pin 16): Positive High Voltage Power Supply. The
range of VCC is 0V to 38V with respect to GND and 10V to
38V with respect to VEE. Bypass VCC to GND close to the
pin with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. In applications where
VCC is shorted to GND this capacitor may be omitted.
VEE (Pins 17, 45): Negative High Voltage Power Supply.
The range of VEE is 0V to –16.5V with respect to GND and
–10V to –38V with respect to VCC. Connect Pins 17 and 45
together and bypass the VEE network to GND close to Pin
17 with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. In applications where
VEE is shorted to GND this capacitor may be omitted.
REFIN (Pin 19): Bandgap Reference Output/Reference
Buffer Input. An internal bandgap reference nominally
outputs 2.048V on this pin. An internal reference buffer
amplifies VREFIN to create the converter master reference
voltage VREFBUF = 2 • VREFIN on the REFBUF pin. When
using the internal reference, bypass REFIN to GND (Pin
20) close to the pin with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to filter
the bandgap output noise. If more accuracy is desired,
overdrive REFIN with an external reference in the range
of 1.25V to 2.2V.
REFBUF (Pin 21): Internal Reference Buffer Output. An
internal reference buffer amplifies VREFIN to create the
converter master reference voltage VREFBUF = 2 • VREFIN on
this pin, nominally 4.096V when using the internal bandgap
reference. Bypass REFBUF to GND (Pin 20) close to the
pin with a 47μF ceramic capacitor. The internal reference
buffer may be disabled by grounding its input at REFIN.
With the buffer disabled, overdrive REFBUF with an external reference voltage in the range of 2.5V to 5V. When
using the internal reference buffer, limit the loading of any
external circuitry connected to REFBUF to less than 10µA.
Using a high input impedance amplifier to buffer VREFBUF
to any external circuits is recommended.
PD (Pin 22): Power Down Input. When this pin is brought
high, the LTC2348-16 is powered down and subsequent
conversion requests are ignored. If this occurs during a
conversion, the device powers down once the conversion
completes. If this pin is brought high twice without an
intervening conversion, an internal global reset is initiated, equivalent to a power-on-reset event. Logic levels
are determined by OVDD.
LVDS/CMOS (Pin 23): I/O Mode Select. Tie this pin to OVDD
to select LVDS I/O mode, or to ground to select CMOS I/O
mode. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
CNV (Pin 24): Conversion Start Input. A rising edge on
this pin puts the internal sample-and-holds into the hold
mode and initiates a new conversion. CNV is not gated
by CS, allowing conversions to be initiated independent
of the state of the serial I/O bus.
BUSY (Pin 38): Busy Output. The BUSY signal indicates
that a conversion is in progress. This pin transitions lowto-high at the start of each conversion and stays high until
the conversion is complete. Logic levels are determined
by OVDD.
VDDLBYP (Pin 40): Internal 2.5V Regulator Bypass Pin. The
voltage on this pin is generated via an internal regulator
operating off of VDD. This pin must be bypassed to GND
close to the pin with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor. Do not
connect this pin to any external circuitry.
VDD (Pins 42, 43): 5V Power Supply. The range of VDD
is 4.75V to 5.25V. Connect Pins 42 and 43 together and
bypass the VDD network to GND with a shared 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor close to the pins.

Pin Functions
CMOS I/O Mode
LVDS I/O Mode
SDO0 to SDO7 (Pins 25, 26, 27, 28, 33, 34, 35, and 36):
CMOS Serial Data Outputs, Channels 0 to 7. The most
recent conversion result along with channel configuration
information is clocked out onto the SDO pins on each rising edge of SCKI. Output data formatting is described in
the Digital Interface section. Leave unused SDO outputs
unconnected. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SDO0, SDO7, SDI (Pins 25, 36, and 37): CMOS Serial
Data I/O. In LVDS I/O mode, these pins are Hi-Z.
SCKI (Pin 29): CMOS Serial Clock Input. Drive SCKI with
the serial I/O clock. SCKI rising edges latch serial data in
on SDI and clock serial data out on SDO0 to SDO7. For
standard SPI bus operation, capture output data at the
receiver on rising edges of SCKI. SCKI is allowed to idle
either high or low. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
OVDD (Pin 31): I/O Interface Power Supply. In CMOS I/O
mode, the range of OVDD is 1.71V to 5.25V. Bypass OVDD
to GND (Pin 30) close to the pin with a 0.1μF ceramic
capacitor.
SCKO (Pin 32): CMOS Serial Clock Output. SCKI rising
edges trigger transitions on SCKO that are skew-matched
to the serial output data streams on SDO0 to SDO7. The
resulting SCKO frequency is half that of SCKI. Rising and
falling edges of SCKO may be used to capture SDO data at
the receiver (FPGA) in double data rate (DDR) fashion. For
standard SPI bus operation, SCKO is not used and should
be left unconnected. SCKO is forced low at the falling edge
of BUSY. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SDI (Pin 37): CMOS Serial Data Input. Drive this pin with the
desired 24-bit SoftSpan configuration word (see Table 1a),
latched on the rising edges of SCKI. If all channels will be
configured to operate only in SoftSpan 7, tie SDI to OVDD.
Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
CS (Pin 39): Chip Select Input. The serial data I/O bus is
enabled when CS is low and is disabled and Hi-Z when
CS is high. CS also gates the external shift clock, SCKI.
Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SDI+, SDI– (Pins 26 and 27): LVDS Positive and Negative
Serial Data Input. Differentially drive SDI+/SDI– with the
desired 24-bit SoftSpan configuration word (see Table
1a), latched on both the rising and falling edges of SCKI+/
SCKI–. The SDI+/SDI– input pair is internally terminated
with a 100Ω differential resistor when CS is low.
SCKI+, SCKI– (Pins 28 and 29): LVDS Positive and Negative
Serial Clock Input. Differentially drive SCKI+/SCKI– with
the serial I/O clock. SCKI+/SCKI– rising and falling edges
latch serial data in on SDI+/SDI– and clock serial data out
on SDO+/SDO–. Idle SCKI+/SCKI– low, including when
transitioning CS. The SCKI+/SCKI– input pair is internally
terminated with a 100Ω differential resistor when CS = 0.
OVDD (Pin 31): I/O Interface Power Supply. In LVDS I/O
mode, the range of OVDD is 2.375V to 5.25V. Bypass OVDD
to GND (Pin 30) close to the pin with a 0.1μF ceramic
capacitor.
SCKO+, SCKO– (Pins 32 and 33): LVDS Positive and
Negative Serial Clock Output. SCKO+/SCKO– outputs a
copy of the input serial I/O clock received on SCKI+/SCKI–,
skew-matched with the serial output data stream on SDO+/
SDO–. Use the rising and falling edges of SCKO+/SCKO–
to capture SDO+/SDO– data at the receiver (FPGA). The
SCKO+/SCKO– output pair must be differentially terminated
with a 100Ω resistor at the receiver (FPGA).
SDO+, SDO– (Pins 34 and 35): LVDS Positive and Negative Serial Data Output. The most recent conversion result
along with channel configuration information is clocked
out onto SDO+/SDO– on both rising and falling edges of
SCKI+/SCKI–, beginning with channel 0. The SDO+/SDO–
output pair must be differentially terminated with a 100Ω
resistor at the receiver (FPGA).
CS (Pin 39): Chip Select Input. The serial data I/O bus is
enabled when CS is low, and is disabled and Hi-Z when
CS is high. CS also gates the external shift clock, SCKI+/
SCKI–. The internal 100Ω differential termination resistors
on the SCKI+/SCKI– and SDI+/SDI– input pairs are disabled
when CS is high. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.

Applications Information
Overview
Converter Operation
The LTC2348-16 is a 16-bit, low noise 8-channel simultaneous sampling successive approximation register (SAR)
ADC with differential, wide common mode range inputs.
The ADC operates from a 5V low voltage supply and
flexible high voltage supplies, nominally ±15V. Using the
integrated low-drift reference and buffer (VREFBUF = 4.096V
nominal), each channel of this SoftSpan ADC can be independently configured on a conversion-by-conversion
basis to accept ±10.24V, 0V to 10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0V to
5.12V signals. The input signal range may be expanded
up to ±12.5V using an external 5V reference. Individual
channels may also be disabled to increase throughput on
the remaining channels.
The LTC2348-16 operates in two phases. During the acquisition phase, the sampling capacitors in each channel’s
sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit connect to their respective
analog input pins and track the differential analog input
voltage (VIN+ – VIN–). A rising edge on the CNV pin transitions all channels’ S/H circuits from track mode to hold
mode, simultaneously sampling the input signals on all
channels and initiating a conversion. During the conversion
phase, each channel’s sampling capacitors are connected,
one channel at a time, to a 16-bit charge redistribution
capacitor D/A converter (CDAC). The CDAC is sequenced
through a successive approximation algorithm, effectively
comparing the sampled input voltage with binary-weighted
fractions of the channel’s SoftSpan full-scale range
(e.g., VFSR/2, VFSR/4 … VFSR/65536) using a differential
comparator. At the end of this process, the CDAC output
approximates the channel’s sampled analog input. Once
all channels have been converted in this manner, the ADC
control logic prepares the 16-bit digital output codes from
each channel for serial transfer.
The wide input common mode range and high CMRR
(118dB typical, VIN+ = VIN– = 18VP-P 200Hz Sine) of the
LTC2348-16 analog inputs allow the ADC to directly digitize
a variety of signals, simplifying signal chain design. The
absolute common mode input range is determined by
the choice of high voltage supplies, which may be biased
asymmetrically around ground and include the ability for
either the positive or negative supply to be tied directly to
ground. This input signal flexibility, combined with ±1LSB
INL, no missing codes at 16-bits, and 94.4dB SNR, makes
the LTC2348-16 an ideal choice for many high voltage
applications requiring wide dynamic range.
The LTC2348-16 supports pin-selectable SPI CMOS (1.8V
to 5V) and LVDS serial interfaces, enabling it to communicate equally well with legacy microcontrollers and
modern FPGAs. In CMOS mode, applications may employ
between one and eight lanes of serial output data, allowing
the user to optimize bus width and data throughput. The
LTC2348-16 typically dissipates 140mW when converting
eight analog input channels simultaneously at 200ksps per
channel throughput. Optional nap and power down modes
may be employed to further reduce power consumption
during inactive periods.
Transfer Function
The LTC2348-16 digitizes each channel’s full-scale voltage
range into 216 levels. In conjunction with the ADC master
reference voltage, VREFBUF, a channel’s SoftSpan configuration determines its input voltage range, full-scale range,
LSB size, and the binary format of its conversion result, as
shown in Tables 1a and 1b. For example, employing the
internal reference and buffer (VREFBUF = 4.096V nominal),
SoftSpan 7 configures a channel to accept a ±10.24V bipolar analog input voltage range, which corresponds to a
20.48V full-scale range with a 312.5μV LSB. Other SoftSpan
configurations and reference voltages may be employed to
convert both larger and smaller bipolar and unipolar input
ranges. Conversion results are output in two’s complement binary format for all bipolar SoftSpan ranges, and
in straight binary format for all unipolar SoftSpan ranges.
The ideal two’s complement transfer function is shown in
Figure 2, while the ideal straight binary transfer function
is shown in Figure 3.

The wide operating range of the high voltage supplies
offers further input common mode flexibility. As long as
the voltage difference limits of 10V ≤ VCC – VEE ≤ 38V
are observed, VCC and VEE may be independently biased
anywhere within their own individual allowed operating
ranges, including the ability for either of the supplies to be
tied directly to ground. This feature enables the common
mode input range of the LTC2348-16 to be tailored to the
specific application’s requirements.
In all SoftSpan ranges, each channel’s analog inputs can
be modeled by the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 4.
At the start of acquisition, the 40pF sampling capacitors
(CIN) connect to the analog input pins IN+/IN– through the
sampling switches, each of which has approximately 600Ω
(RIN) of on-resistance. The initial voltage on both sampling
capacitors at the start of acquisition is approximately equal
to the sampled common-mode voltage (VIN+ + VIN–)/2
from the prior conversion. The external circuitry connected
to IN+ and IN– must source or sink the charge that flows
through RIN as the sampling capacitors settle from their
initial voltages to the new input pin voltages over the
course of the acquisition interval. During conversion, nap,
and power down modes, the analog inputs draw only a
small leakage current. The diodes at the inputs provide
ESD protection.
VCC
Analog Inputs
Each channel of the LTC2348-16 simultaneously samples
the voltage difference (VIN+ – VIN–) between its analog
input pins over a wide common mode input range while
attenuating unwanted signals common to both input
pins by the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of the
ADC. Wide common mode input range coupled with high
CMRR allows the IN+/IN– analog inputs to swing with
an arbitrary relationship to each other, provided each
pin remains between (VCC – 4V) and VEE. This unique
feature of the LTC2348-16 enables it to accept a wide
variety of signal swings, including traditional classes of
analog input signals such as pseudo-differential unipolar,

Bipolar SoftSpan Input Ranges
Input Drive Circuits
For channels configured in SoftSpan ranges 7, 6, 3,
or 2, the LTC2348-16 digitizes the differential analog
input voltage (VIN+ – VIN–) over a bipolar span of
±2.5 • VREFBUF, ±2.5 • VREFBUF/1.024, ±1.25 • VREFBUF, or
±1.25 • VREFBUF/1.024, respectively, as shown in Table
1a. These SoftSpan ranges are useful for digitizing input
signals where IN+ and IN– swing above and below each
other. Traditional examples include fully differential input
signals, where IN+ and IN– are driven 180 degrees out-ofphase with respect to each other centered around a common
mode voltage (VIN+ + VIN–)/2, and pseudo-differential true
bipolar input signals, where IN+ swings above and below
a ground reference level, driven on IN–. Regardless of the
chosen SoftSpan range, the wide common mode input
range and high CMRR of the IN+/IN– analog inputs allow
them to swing with an arbitrary relationship to each other,
provided each pin remains between (VCC – 4V) and VEE.
The output data format for all bipolar SoftSpan ranges is
two’s complement.
The initial voltage on each channel’s sampling capacitors
at the start of acquisition must settle to the new input
pin voltages during the acquisition interval. The external
circuitry connected to IN+ and IN– must source or sink
the charge that flows through RIN as this settling occurs.
The LTC2348-16 sampling network RC time constant of
24ns implies a 16-bit settling time to a full-scale step of
approximately 11 • (RIN • CIN) = 264ns. The impedance and
self-settling of external circuitry connected to the analog
input pins will increase the overall settling time required.
Low impedance sources can directly drive the inputs of
the LTC2348-16 without gain error, but high impedance
sources should be buffered to ensure sufficient settling
during acquisition and to optimize the linearity and distortion performance of the ADC. Settling time is an important
consideration even for DC input signals, as the voltages on
the sampling capacitors will differ from the analog input
pin voltages at the start of acquisition.
Unipolar SoftSpan Input Ranges
For channels configured in SoftSpan ranges 5, 4, or 1, the
LTC2348-16 digitizes the differential analog input voltage
(VIN+ – VIN–) over a unipolar span of 0V to 2.5 • VREFBUF, 0V
to 2.5 • VREFBUF/1.024, or 0V to 1.25 • VREFBUF, respectively,
as shown in Table 1a. These SoftSpan ranges are useful
for digitizing input signals where IN+ remains above IN–.
A traditional example includes pseudo-differential unipolar
input signals, where IN+ swings above a ground reference
level, driven on IN–. Regardless of the chosen SoftSpan
range, the wide common mode input range and high
CMRR of the IN+/IN– analog inputs allow them to swing
with an arbitrary relationship to each other, provided each
pin remains between (VCC – 4V) and VEE. The output data
format for all unipolar SoftSpan ranges is straight binary.
Most applications should use a buffer amplifier to drive the
analog inputs of the LTC2348-16. The amplifier provides
low output impedance, enabling fast settling of the analog
signal during the acquisition phase. It also provides isolation between the signal source and the charge flow at the
analog inputs when entering acquisition.
Input Filtering
The noise and distortion of an input buffer amplifier and
other supporting circuitry must be considered since they
add to the ADC noise and distortion. Noisy input signals
should be filtered prior to the buffer amplifier with a lowbandwidth filter to minimize noise. The simple one-pole
RC lowpass filter shown in Figure 5 is sufficient for many
applications.
At the output of the buffer, a lowpass RC filter network
formed by the 600Ω sampling switch on-resistance (RIN)
and the 40pF sampling capacitance (CIN) limits the input
bandwidth on each channel to 7MHz, which is fast enough
to allow for sufficient transient settling during acquisition
while simultaneously filtering driver wideband noise. A
buffer amplifier with low noise density should be selected

to minimize SNR degradation over this bandwidth. An
additional filter network may be placed between the buffer output and ADC input to further minimize the noise
contribution of the buffer and reduce disturbances to the
buffer from ADC acquisition transients. A simple one-pole
lowpass RC filter is sufficient for many applications. It is
important that the RC time constant of this filter be small
enough to allow the analog inputs to completely settle to
16-bit resolution within the ADC acquisition time (tACQ),
as insufficient settling can limit INL and THD performance.
Also note that the minimum acquisition time varies with
sampling frequency (fSMPL) and the number of enabled
channels.
High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in
the RC filters since these components can add distortion.
NPO/COG 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.
Buffering Arbitrary and Fully Differential Analog Input
Signals
The wide common mode input range and high CMRR of
the LTC2348-16 allow each channel’s IN+ and IN– pins
to swing with an arbitrary relationship to each other,
provided each pin remains between (VCC – 4V) and VEE.
This unique feature of the LTC2348-16 enables it to accept
a wide variety of signal swings, simplifying signal chain
design. In many applications, connecting a channel’s IN+
and IN– pins directly to the existing signal chain circuitry
will not allow the channel’s sampling network to settle to
16-bit resolution within the ADC acquisition time (tACQ).
In these cases, it is recommended that two unity-gain
buffers be inserted between the signal source and the ADC
input pins, as shown in Figure 6a. Table 2 lists several
amplifier and lowpass filter combinations recommended
for use in this circuit. The LT1469 combines fast settling,
high linearity, and low offset with 5nV/√Hz input-referred
noise density, enabling it to achieve the full ADC data sheet
SNR and THD specifications, as shown in the FFT plots in
Figures 6b to 6e. In applications where slightly degraded

Applications Information
SNR and THD performance is acceptable, it is possible
to drive the LTC2348-16 using the lower-power LT1355.
The LT1355 combines fast settling, good linearity, and
moderate offset with 10nV/√Hz input-referred noise density, enabling it to drive the LTC2348-16 with only 0.1dB
SNR loss and 2dB THD loss compared with the LT1469.
As shown in Table 2, both the LT1469 and LT1355 may be
used without a lowpass filter at a loss of ≤0.5dB SNR due
to increased wideband noise. For sampling frequencies
with minimum acquisition times (tACQ) under 500ns, use
either the LT1469 or LT1355 without lowpass filtering, or
the LT1358 with lowpass filtering, for the best settling,
linearity, and THD performance.
response approaches this ideal, with 119dB of SFDR
limited by the converter's second harmonic distortion
response to the 3.1kHz sine wave on IN–.
The ability of the LTC2348-16 to accept arbitrary signal
swings over a wide input common mode range with high
CMRR can simplify application solutions. In practice,
many sensors produce a differential sensor voltage riding
on top of a large common mode signal. Figure 7a depicts
one way of using the LTC2348-16 to digitize signals of
this type. The amplifier stage provides a differential gain
of approximately 10V/V to the desired sensor signal while
the unwanted common mode signal is attenuated by the
ADC CMRR. The circuit employs the ±5V SoftSpan range of
the ADC. Figure 7b shows measured CMRR performance
of this solution, which is competitive with the best commercially available instrumentation amplifiers. Figure 7c
shows measured AC performance of this solution.
The two-tone test shown in Figure 6b demonstrates the
arbitrary input drive capability of the LTC2348-16. This test
simultaneously drives IN+ with a −7dBFS 2kHz single-ended
sine wave and IN− with a −7dBFS 3.1kHz single-ended sine
wave. Together, these signals sweep the analog inputs
across a wide range of common mode and differential
mode voltage combinations, similar to the more general
arbitrary input signal case. They also have a simple spectral representation. An ideal differential converter with no
common-mode sensitivity will digitize this signal as two
−7dBFS spectral tones, one at each sine wave frequency.

applications of this type, the impedance of the external
circuitry is low enough that the ADC sampling network
can fully settle without buffering.

While the circuit shown in Figure 6a is capable of buffering
single-ended input signals, the circuit shown in Figure 9 is
preferable when the single-ended signal reference level is
inherently low impedance and doesn't require buffering.
This circuit eliminates one driver and lowpass filter, reducing part count, power dissipation, and SNR degradation
due to driver noise. Using the recommended driver and

ADC Reference
LTC2348-16
As shown previously in Table 1b, the LTC2348-16 supports
three reference configurations. The first uses both the internal bandgap reference and reference buffer. The second
externally overdrives the internal reference but retains the
internal buffer, which isolates the external reference from
ADC conversion transients. This configuration is ideal
for sharing a single precision external reference across
multiple ADCs. The third disables the internal buffer and
overdrives the REFBUF pin externally.
Internal Reference with Internal Buffer
The LTC2348-16 has an on-chip, low noise, low drift
(20ppm/°C maximum), temperature compensated bandgap reference that is factory trimmed to 2.048V. The
reference output connects through a 20kΩ resistor to
the REFIN pin, which serves as the input to the on-chip
reference buffer, as shown in Figure 10a. When employing
the internal bandgap reference, the REFIN pin should be
bypassed to GND (Pin 20) close to the pin with a 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor to filter wideband noise. The reference
buffer amplifies VREFIN to create the converter master
reference voltage VREFBUF = 2 • VREFIN on the REFBUF pin,
nominally 4.096V when using the internal bandgap reference. Bypass REFBUF to GND (Pin 20) close to the pin with
at least a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size or
X5R, 10V, 0805 size) to compensate the reference buffer,
absorb transient conversion currents, and minimize noise.

If more accuracy and/or lower drift is desired, REFIN can
be easily overdriven by an external reference since 20kΩ
of resistance separates the internal bandgap reference
output from the REFIN pin, as shown in Figure 10b. The
valid range of external reference voltage overdrive on the
REFIN pin is 1.25V to 2.2V, resulting in converter master reference voltages VREFBUF between 2.5V and 4.4V,
respectively. Linear Technology offers a portfolio of high
performance references designed to meet the needs of
many applications. With its small size, low power, and high
accuracy, the LTC6655-2.048 is well suited for use with the
LTC2348-16 when overdriving the internal reference. The

precision applications. The LTC6655-2.048 is fully specified over the H-grade temperature range, complementing
the extended temperature range of the LTC2348-16 up to
125°C. Bypassing the LTC6655-2.048 with a 2.7µF to 100µF
ceramic capacitor close to the REFIN pin is recommended.
External Reference with Disabled Internal Buffer
The internal reference buffer supports VREFBUF = 4.4V
maximum. By grounding REFIN, the internal buffer may
be disabled allowing REFBUF to be overdriven with an
external reference voltage between 2.5V and 5V, as shown
in Figure 10c. Maximum input signal swing and SNR are
achieved by overdriving REFBUF using an external 5V
reference. The buffer feedback resistors load the REFBUF
pin with 13kΩ even when the reference buffer is disabled.
The LTC6655-5 offers the same small size, accuracy, drift,
and extended temperature range as the LTC6655-2.048,
and achieves a typical SNR of 94.9dB when paired with
the LTC2348-16. Bypass the LTC6655-5 to GND (Pin 20)
close to the REFBUF pin with at least a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size or X5R, 10V, 0805 size) to
absorb transient conversion currents and minimize noise.
The LTC2348-16 converter draws a charge (QCONV) from
the REFBUF pin during each conversion cycle. On short
time scales most of this charge is supplied by the external
REFBUF bypass capacitor, but on longer time scales all of
the charge is supplied by either the reference buffer, or
when the internal reference buffer is disabled, the external
reference. This charge draw corresponds to a DC current
equivalent of IREFBUF = QCONV • fSMPL, which is proportional

to sample rate. In applications where a burst of samples
is taken after idling for long periods of time, as shown in
Figure 11, IREFBUF quickly transitions from approximately
0.4mA to 1.5mA (VREFBUF = 5V, fSMPL = 200kHz). This
current step triggers a transient response in the external
reference that must be considered, since any deviation in
VREFBUF affects converter accuracy. If an external reference
is used to overdrive REFBUF, the fast settling LTC6655
family of references is recommended.
Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response
For optimum performance in applications employing burst
sampling, the external reference with internal reference

buffer incorporates a proprietary design that minimizes

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
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
except the first five harmonics and DC. Figure 13 shows
that the LTC2348-16 achieves a typical SNR of 94.4dB in
the ±10.24V range at a 200kHz sampling rate with a true
bipolar 2kHz input signal.
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).

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 LTC2348-16 provides
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise
measurements.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band-limited
to frequencies below half the sampling frequency, excluding DC. Figure 13 shows that the LTC2348-16 achieves a
typical SINAD of 94.3dB in the ±10.24V range at a 200kHz
sampling rate with a true bipolar 2kHz input signal.
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second

Applications Information
Power Considerations
Timing and Control
The LTC2348-16 requires four power supplies: the positive and negative high voltage power supplies (VCC and
VEE), the 5V core power supply (VDD) and the digital input/
output (I/O) interface power supply (OVDD). As long as
the voltage difference limits of 10V ≤ VCC – VEE ≤ 38V
are observed, VCC and VEE may be independently biased
anywhere within their own individual allowed operating
ranges, including the ability for either of the supplies to be
tied directly to ground. This feature enables the common
mode input range of the LTC2348-16 to be tailored to the
specific application’s requirements. The flexible OVDD supply allows the LTC2348-16 to communicate with CMOS
logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and
3.3V systems. When using LVDS I/O mode, the range of
OVDD is 2.375V to 5.25V.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2348-16 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 LTC2348-16 has
an internal power-on-reset (POR) circuit which resets the
converter on initial power-up and whenever VDD drops
below 2V. Once the supply voltage re-enters the nominal
supply voltage range, the POR reinitializes the ADC. No
conversions should be initiated until at least 10ms after
a POR event to ensure the initialization period has ended.
When employing the internal reference buffer, allow 200ms
for the buffer to power up and recharge the REFBUF bypass
capacitor. Any conversion initiated before these times will
produce invalid results.
CNV Timing
The LTC2348-16 sampling and conversion is controlled by
CNV. A rising edge on CNV transitions all channels’ S/H
circuits from track mode to hold mode, simultaneously
sampling the input signals on all channels and initiating
a conversion. Once a conversion has been started, it
cannot be terminated early except by resetting the ADC,
as discussed in the Reset Timing section. For optimum
performance, drive CNV with a clean, low jitter signal and
avoid transitions on data I/O lines leading up to the rising
edge of CNV. Additionally, to minimize channel-to-channel
crosstalk, avoid high slew rates on the analog inputs for
100ns before and after the rising edge of CNV. Converter
status is indicated by the BUSY output, which transitions
low-to-high at the start of each conversion and stays high
until the conversion is complete. Once CNV is brought high
to begin a conversion, it should be returned low between
40ns and 60ns later or after the falling edge of BUSY to
minimize external disturbances during the internal conversion process. The CNV timing required to take advantage
of the reduced power nap mode of operation is described
in the Nap Mode section.
Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2348-16 has an internal clock that is trimmed to
achieve a maximum conversion time of 550•N ns with N
channels enabled. With a minimum acquisition time of
570ns when converting eight channels simultaneously,
throughput performance of 200ksps is guaranteed without
any external adjustments.

Applications Information
Nap Mode
The LTC2348-16 can be placed into nap mode after a conversion has been completed to reduce power consumption
between conversions. In this mode a portion of the device
circuitry is turned off, including circuits associated with
sampling the analog input signals. Nap mode is enabled
by keeping CNV high between conversions, as shown in
Figure 14. To initiate a new conversion after entering nap
mode, bring CNV low and hold for at least 420ns before
bringing it high again. The converter acquisition time (tACQ)
is set by the CNV low time (tCNVL) when using nap mode.
ends based on an internal timer. Reset clears all serial data
output registers and restores the internal SoftSpan configuration register default state of all channels in SoftSpan 7.
If reset is triggered during a conversion, the conversion
is immediately halted. The normal power down behavior
associated with PD going high is not affected by reset. Once
PD is brought low, wait at least 10ms before initiating a
conversion. When employing the internal reference buffer,
allow 200ms for the buffer to power up and recharge the
REFBUF bypass capacitor. Any conversion initiated before
these times will produce invalid results.
Power Dissipation vs Sampling Frequency
When PD is brought high, the LTC2348-16 is powered
down and subsequent conversion requests are ignored. If
this occurs during a conversion, the device powers down
once the conversion completes. In this mode, the device
draws only a small regulator standby current resulting in a
typical power dissipation of 0.36mW. To exit power down
mode, bring the PD pin low and wait at least 10ms before
initiating a conversion. When employing the internal reference buffer, allow 200ms for the buffer to power up and
recharge the REFBUF bypass capacitor. Any conversion
initiated before these times will produce invalid results.
When nap mode is employed, the power dissipation of
the LTC2348-16 decreases as the sampling frequency is
reduced, as shown in Figure 16. This decrease in average power dissipation occurs because a portion of the
LTC2348-16 circuitry is turned off during nap mode, and
the fraction of the conversion cycle (tCYC) spent napping
increases as the sampling frequency (fSMPL) is decreased.

Reset Timing
A global reset of the LTC2348-16, equivalent to a poweron-reset event, may be executed without needing to cycle
the supplies. This feature is useful when recovering from
system-level events that require the state of the entire system to be reset to a known synchronized value. To initiate
a global reset, bring PD high twice without an intervening
conversion, as shown in Figure 15. The reset event is triggered on the second rising edge of PD, and asynchronously

Figure 17. Serial CMOS I/O Mode
Digital Interface
The LTC2348-16 features CMOS and LVDS serial interfaces,
selectable using the LVDS/CMOS pin. The flexible OVDD
supply allows the LTC2348-16 to communicate with any
CMOS logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems, while the LVDS interface supports
low noise digital designs. In CMOS mode, applications
may employ between one and eight lanes of serial data
output, allowing the user to optimize bus width and data
throughput. Together, these I/O interface options enable
the LTC2348-16 to communicate equally well with legacy
microcontrollers and modern FPGAs.
Serial CMOS I/O Mode
As shown in Figure 17, in CMOS I/O mode the serial data
bus consists of a serial clock input, SCKI, serial data
input, SDI, serial clock output, SCKO, and eight lanes of
serial data output, SDO0 to SDO7. Communication with
the LTC2348-16 across this bus occurs during predefined
data transaction windows. Within a window, the device
accepts 24-bit SoftSpan configuration words for the next
conversion on SDI and outputs 24-bit packets containing
conversion results and channel configuration information
from the previous conversion on SDO0 to SDO7. New
data transaction windows open 10ms after powering up
or resetting the LTC2348-16, and at the end of each conversion on the falling edge of BUSY. In the recommended
use case, the data transaction should be completed with
a minimum tQUIET time of 20ns prior to the start of the
next conversion, as shown in Figure 17. New SoftSpan
configuration words are only accepted within this recommended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes
take effect immediately with no additional analog input
settling time required before starting the next conversion.
It is still possible to read conversion data after starting the
next conversion, but this will degrade conversion accuracy
and therefore is not recommended.

LTC2348-16
Applications Information
Just prior to the falling edge of BUSY and the opening of
a new data transaction window, SCKO is forced low and
SDO0 to SDO7 are updated with the latest conversion
results from analog input channels 0 to 7, respectively.
Rising edges on SCKI serially clock conversion results
and analog input channel configuration information out
on SDO0 to SDO7 and trigger transitions on SCKO that
are skew-matched to the data on SDO0 to SDO7. The
resulting SCKO frequency is half that of SCKI. SCKI
rising edges also latch SoftSpan configuration words
provided on SDI, which are used to program the internal
24-bit SoftSpan configuration register. See the section
Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in
CMOS I/O Mode for further details. SCKI is allowed to
idle either high or low in CMOS I/O mode. As shown in
Figure 18, the CMOS bus is enabled when CS is low and
is disabled and Hi-Z when CS is high, allowing the bus
to be shared across multiple devices.
The data on SDO0 to SDO7 are grouped into 24-bit
packets consisting of a 16-bit conversion result plus
2-bit trailing zero pad, 3-bit analog channel ID, and 3-bit
SoftSpan code, all presented MSB first. As suggested in
Figures 17 and 18, each SDO lane outputs these packets
for all analog input channels in a sequential, circular
manner. For example, the first 24-bit packet output on
SDO0 corresponds to analog input channel 0, followed
by the packets for channels 1 through 7. The data output
on SDO0 then wraps back to channel 0, and this pattern
repeats indefinitely. Other SDO lanes follow a similar circular pattern, except the first packet presented on each
lane corresponds to its associated analog input channel.
When interfacing the LTC2348-16 with a standard SPI
bus, capture output data at the receiver on rising edges of
SCKI. SCKO is not used in this case. Multiple SDO lanes
are also usually not useful in this case. In other applications, such as interfacing the LTC2348-16 with an FPGA
or CPLD, rising and falling edges of SCKO may be used
to capture serial output data on SDO0 to SDO7 in double
data rate (DDR) fashion. Capturing data using SCKO adds
robustness to delay variations over temperature and supply.
Full Eight Lane Serial CMOS Output Data Capture
As shown in Table 3, full 200ksps per channel throughput
can be achieved with a 45MHz SCKI frequency by capturing
the first packet (24 SCKI cycles total) from all eight serial
data output lanes SDO0 to SDO7. This configuration also
allows conversion results from all channels to be captured
using as few as 16 SCKI cycles if the 3-bit analog channel
ID and 3-bit SoftSpan code are not needed and the device
SoftSpan configuration is not being changed. Multi-lane
data capture is usually best suited for use with FPGA
or CPLD capture hardware, but may be useful in other
application-specific cases.

LTC2348-16
Applications Information
Fewer Than Eight Lane Serial CMOS Output Data Capture
Applications that cannot accommodate the full eight lanes
of serial data capture may employ fewer lanes without
reconfiguring the LTC2348-16. For example, capturing
the first two packets (48 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0,
SDO2, SDO4, and SDO6 provides data for analog input
channels 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7, respectively, using four output lanes. Similarly, capturing the first
four packets (96 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0 and SDO4
provides data for analog input channels 0 to 3 and 4 to
7, respectively, using two output lanes. If only one lane
can be accommodated, capturing the first eight packets
(192 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0 provides data for all
analog input channels. As shown in Table 3, full 200ksps
per channel throughput can be achieved with a 90MHz
SCKI frequency in the four lane case, but the maximum
CMOS SCKI frequency of 100MHz limits the throughput
to less than 200ksps per channel in the two lane and one
lane cases. Finally, note that in choosing the number of
lanes and which lanes to use for data capture, the user is
not restricted to the specific cases mentioned above. Other
choices may be more optimal in particular applications.
Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in
CMOS I/O Mode
The internal 24-bit SoftSpan configuration register controls the SoftSpan range for all analog input channels of
the LTC2348-16. The default state of this register after
power-up or resetting the device is all ones, configuring
each channel to convert in SoftSpan 7, the ±2.5 • VREFBUF
range (see Table 1a). The state of this register may be
modified by providing a new 24-bit SoftSpan configuration
word on SDI during the data transaction window shown
in Figure 17. New SoftSpan configuration words are only
accepted within this recommended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes take effect immediately with
no additional analog input settling time required before
starting the next conversion. Setting a channel’s SoftSpan
code to SS[2:0] = 000 immediately disables the channel,
resulting in a corresponding reduction in tCONV on the next
conversion. Similarly, enabling a previously disabled channel requires no additional analog input settling time before
starting the next conversion. The mapping between the
serial SoftSpan configuration word, the internal SoftSpan
configuration register, and each channel’s 3-bit SoftSpan
code is illustrated in Figure 19.
If fewer than 24 SCKI rising edges are provided during a
data transaction window, the partial word received on SDI
will be ignored and the SoftSpan configuration register will
not be updated. If exactly 24 SCKI rising edges are provided,
the SoftSpan configuration register will be updated to
match the received SoftSpan configuration word, S[23:0].
The one exception to this behavior occurs when S[23:0] is
all zeros. In this case, the SoftSpan configuration register
will not be updated, allowing applications to retain the
current SoftSpan configuration state by idling SDI low. If
more than 24 SCKI rising edges are provided during a data
transaction window, each complete 24-bit word received
on SDI will be interpreted as a new SoftSpan configuration
word and applied to the SoftSpan configuration register
as described above. Any partial words are ignored.

Figure 19. Mapping Between Serial SoftSpan Configuration Word, Internal SoftSpan
Configuration Register, and SoftSpan Code for Each Analog Input Channel
Typically, applications will update the SoftSpan configuration register in the manner shown in Figures 17 and 18.
After the opening of a new data transaction window at the
falling edge of BUSY, the user supplies a 24-bit SoftSpan
configuration word on SDI during the first 24 SCKI cycles.
This new word overwrites the internal configuration register
contents following the 24th SCKI rising edge. The user then
holds SDI low for the remainder of the data transaction
window causing the register to retain its contents regardless
of the number of additional SCKI cycles applied. SoftSpan
settings may be retained across multiple conversions by
holding SDI low for the entire data transaction window,
regardless of the number of SCKI cycles applied.
Serial LVDS I/O Mode
In LVDS I/O mode, information is transmitted using positive and negative signal pairs (LVDS+/LVDS−) with bits
differentially encoded as (LVDS+ − LVDS−). These signals
are typically routed using differential transmission lines
with 100Ω characteristic impedance. Logical 1’s and 0’s
are nominally represented by differential +350mV and
−350mV, respectively. For clarity, all LVDS timing diagrams
and interface discussions adopt the logical rather than
physical convention.
As shown in Figure 20, in LVDS I/O mode the serial data
bus consists of a serial clock differential input, SCKI, serial
data differential input, SDI, serial clock differential output,
SCKO, and serial data differential output, SDO. Communication with the LTC2348-16 across this bus occurs during
predefined data transaction windows. Within a window,
the device accepts 24-bit SoftSpan configuration words
for the next conversion on SDI and outputs 24-bit packets
containing conversion results and channel configuration
information from the previous conversion on SDO. New
data transaction windows open 10ms after powering up
or resetting the LTC2348-16, and at the end of each conversion on the falling edge of BUSY. In the recommended
use case, the data transaction should be completed with
a minimum tQUIET time of 20ns prior to the start of the
next conversion, as shown in Figure 20. New SoftSpan
configuration words are only accepted within this recommended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes

take effect immediately with no additional analog input
settling time required before starting the next conversion.
It is still possible to read conversion data after starting the
next conversion, but this will degrade conversion accuracy
and therefore is not recommended.
Just prior to the falling edge of BUSY and the opening
of a new data transaction window, SDO is updated with
the latest conversion results from analog input channel
0. Both rising and falling edges on SCKI serially clock
conversion results and analog input channel configuration
information out on SDO. SCKI is also echoed on SCKO,
skew-matched to the data on SDO. Whenever possible, it
is recommended that rising and falling edges of SCKO be
used to capture DDR serial output data on SDO, as this will
yield the best robustness to delay variations over supply
and temperature. SCKI rising and falling edges also latch
SoftSpan configuration words provided on SDI, which are
used to program the internal 24-bit SoftSpan configuration register. See the section Programming the SoftSpan
Configuration Register in LVDS I/O Mode for further
details. As shown in Figure 21, the LVDS bus is enabled
when CS is low and is disabled and Hi-Z when CS is high,
allowing the bus to be shared across multiple devices.
Due to the high speeds involved in LVDS signaling, LVDS
bus sharing must be carefully considered. Transmission
line limitations imposed by the shared bus may limit the
maximum achievable bus clock speed. LVDS inputs are
internally terminated with a 100Ω differential resistor when
CS is low, while outputs must be differentially terminated
with a 100Ω resistor at the receiver (FPGA). SCKI must
idle in the low state in LVDS I/O mode, including when
transitioning CS.
The data on SDO are grouped into 24-bit packets consisting of a 16-bit conversion result plus 2-bit trailing zero
pad, 3-bit analog channel ID, and 3-bit SoftSpan code, all
presented MSB first. As suggested in Figures 20 and 21,
SDO outputs these packets for all analog input channels
in a sequential, circular manner. For example, the first
24-bit packet output on SDO corresponds to analog input
channel 0, followed by the packets for channels 1 through
7. The data output on SDO then wraps back to channel 0,
and this pattern repeats indefinitely.

Applications Information
Serial LVDS Output Data Capture
As shown in Table 3, full 200ksps per channel throughput
can be achieved with a 180MHz SCKI frequency by capturing eight packets (96 SCKI cycles total) of DDR data from
SDO. The LTC2348-16 supports LVDS SCKI frequencies
up to 250MHz.
Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in
LVDS I/O Mode
The internal 24-bit SoftSpan configuration register controls the SoftSpan range for all analog input channels of
the LTC2348-16. The default state of this register after
power-up or resetting the device is all ones, configuring
each channel to convert in SoftSpan 7, the ±2.5 • VREFBUF
range (see Table 1a). The state of this register may be
modified by providing a new 24-bit SoftSpan configuration
word on SDI during the data transaction window shown
in Figure 20. New SoftSpan configuration words are only
accepted within this recommended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes take effect immediately with
no additional analog input settling time required before
starting the next conversion. Setting a channel’s SoftSpan
code to SS[2:0] = 000 immediately disables the channel,
resulting in a corresponding reduction in tCONV on the next
conversion. Similarly, enabling a previously disabled channel requires no additional analog input settling time before
starting the next conversion. The mapping between the
serial SoftSpan configuration word, the internal SoftSpan
configuration register, and each channel’s 3-bit SoftSpan
code is illustrated in Figure 19.
If fewer than 24 SCKI edges (rising plus falling) are
provided during a data transaction window, the partial
word received on SDI will be ignored and the SoftSpan
configuration register will not be updated. If exactly 24
SCKI edges are provided, the SoftSpan configuration
register will be updated to match the received SoftSpan
configuration word, S[23:0]. The one exception to this
behavior occurs when S[23:0] is all zeros. In this case,
the SoftSpan configuration register will not be updated,
allowing applications to retain the current SoftSpan configuration state by idling SDI low. If more than 24 SCKI
edges are provided during a data transaction window, each
complete 24-bit word received on SDI will be interpreted
as a new SoftSpan configuration word and applied to the
SoftSpan configuration register as described above. Any
partial words are ignored.
Typically, applications will update the SoftSpan configuration register in the manner shown in Figures 20 and 21.
After the opening of a new data transaction window at
the falling edge of BUSY, the user supplies a 24-bit DDR
SoftSpan configuration word on SDI during the first 12
SCKI cycles. This new word overwrites the internal configuration register contents following the 12th SCKI falling
edge. The user then holds SDI low for the remainder of
the data transaction window causing the register to retain
its contents regardless of the number of additional SCKI
cycles applied. SoftSpan settings may be retained across
multiple conversions by holding SDI low for the entire
data transaction window, regardless of the number of
SCKI cycles applied.

Board Layout
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2348-16, a
four-layer printed circuit board (PCB) is recommended.
Layout for the 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 alongside analog signals or underneath the ADC.
Also minimize the length of the REFBUF to GND (Pin 20)
bypass capacitor return loop, and avoid routing CNV near
signals which could potentially disturb its rising edge.
Supply bypass capacitors should be 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. A single solid ground plane
is recommended for this purpose. When possible, screen
the analog input traces using ground.
