The LTC®2351-14 is a 14-bit, 1.5Msps ADC with six simultaneously sampled differential inputs. The device draws
only 5.5mA from a single 3V supply, and comes in a tiny
32-pin (5mm × 5mm) QFN package. A sleep shutdown
mode further reduces power consumption to 12μW. The
combination of low power and tiny package makes the
LTC2351-14 suitable for portable applications.
The LTC2351-14 contains six separate differential inputs
that are sampled simultaneously on the rising edge of the
CONV signal. These six sampled inputs are then converted
at a rate of 250ksps per channel.
The 83dB common mode rejection allows users to eliminate
ground loops and common mode noise by measuring
signals differentially from the source.
The device converts 0V to 2.5V unipolar inputs differentially,
or ±1.25V bipolar inputs also differentially, depending on the
state of the BIP pin. Any analog input may swing rail-to-rail
as long as the differential input range is maintained.

TIMING CHARACTERISTICS
Note 5: Integral linearity is tested with an external 2.55V reference and is
defined as the deviation of a code from the straight line passing through
the actual endpoints of a transfer curve. The deviation is measured from
the center of quantization band. Linearity is tested for CH0 only.
Note 6: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 7: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 8: The analog input range is defined for the voltage difference
between CHx+ and CHx–, x = 0–5.
Note 9: The absolute voltage at CHx+ and CHx– must be within this range.
Note 10: If less than 3ns is allowed, the output data will appear one
clock cycle later. It is best for CONV to rise half a clock before SCK, when
running the clock at rated speed.
Note 11: Not the same as aperture delay. Aperture delay (1ns) is the
difference between the 2.2ns delay through the sample-and-hold and the
1.2ns CONV to Hold mode delay.
Note 12: The rising edge of SCK is guaranteed to catch the data coming
out into a storage latch.
Note 13: The time period for acquiring the input signal is started by the
96th rising clock and it is ended by the rising edge of CONV.
Note 14: The internal reference settles in 2ms after it wakes up from sleep
mode with one or more cycles at SCK and a 10μF capacitive load.
Note 15: The full power bandwidth is the frequency where the output code
swing drops by 3dB with a 2.5VP-P input sine wave.
Note 16: Maximum clock period guarantees analog performance during
conversion. Output data can be read with an arbitrarily long clock period.
Note 17: The conversion process takes 16 clocks for each channel that is
enabled, up to 96 clocks for all six channels.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SDO (Pin 1): Three-State Serial Data Output. Each set
of six output data words represent the six analog input
channels at the start of the previous conversion. Data for
CH0 comes out first and data for CH5 comes out last. Each
data word comes out MSB first.
OGND (Pin 2): Ground Return for SDO Currents. Connect
to the solid ground plane.
OVDD (Pin 3): Power Supply for the SDO Pin. OVDD
must be no more than 300mV higher than VDD and can
be brought to a lower voltage to interface to low voltage
logic families. The unloaded HIGH state at SDO is at the
potential of OVDD.
CH3+ (Pin 14): Noninverting Channel 3. CH3+ operates
fully differentially with respect to CH3– with a 0V to 2.5V,
or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
CH3– (Pin 15): Inverting Channel 3. CH3– operates fully
differentially with respect to CH3+ with a –2.5V to 0V,
or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
CH4+ (Pin 17): Noninverting Channel 4. CH4+ operates
fully differentially with respect to CH4– with a 0V to 2.5V,
or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
CH0+ (Pin 4): Noninverting Channel 0. CH0+ operates

or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
CH4– (Pin 18): Inverting Channel 4. CH4– operates fully
differentially with respect to CH4+ with a –2.5V to 0V, or
±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute input
range.
CH0– (Pin 5): Inverting Channel 0. CH0– operates fully
differentially with respect to CH0+ with a –2.5V to 0V,

or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
GND (Pins 6, 9, 12, 13, 16, 19): Analog Grounds. These
ground pins must be tied directly to the solid ground plane
under the part. Analog signal currents flow through these
connections.
CH5– (Pin 21): Inverting Channel 5. CH5– operates fully
differentially with respect to CH5+ with a –2.5V to 0V, or
±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute input
range.
CH1+ (Pin 7): Noninverting Channel 1. CH1+ operates
fully differentially with respect to CH1– with a 0V to 2.5V,
or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
GND (PIN 22): Analog Ground for Reference. Analog
ground must be tied directly to the solid ground plane
under the part. Analog signal currents flow through this
connection. The 10μF reference bypass capacitor should
be returned to this pad.
CH1– (Pin 8): Inverting Channel 1. CH1– operates fully
differentially with respect to CH1+ with a –2.5V to 0V,
or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
CH2+ (Pin 10): Noninverting Channel 2. CH2+ operates
fully differentially with respect to CH2– with a 0V to 2.5V,
or ±1.25V differential swing and a 0V to VDD absolute
input range.
CH2– (Pin 11): Inverting Channel 2. CH2– operates fully
differentially with respect to CH2+ with a –2.5V to 0V,

Number of Channels Being Converted. In combination
with SEL1 and SEL0, 000 selects just the first channel
(CH0) for conversion. Incrementing SELx selects additional channels(CH0–CH5) for conversion. 101, 110 or 111
select all six channels for conversion. Must be kept in a
fixed state during conversion and during the subsequent
conversion to read data.
SEL1 (Pin 27): Middle Significant Bit Controlling the

unipolar mode.
CONV (Pin 30): Convert Start. Holds the six analog input

(Pin1) on the rising edge. One or more SCK pulses wake
from sleep or nap power saving modes. 16 clock cycles

SELx (Pins 26, 27, 28), up to a total of 96 clock cycles
needed to convert and read out all six channels.
Exposed Pad (Pin 33): GND. Must be tied directly to the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SELECTING THE NUMBER OF CONVERTED CHANNELS
(SEL2, SEL1, SEL0)
These three control pins select the number of channels
being converted. 000 selects only the first channel (CH0)
for conversion. Incrementing SELx selects additional
channels for conversion, up to six channels. 101, 110
or 111 select all six channels for conversion. These pins
must be kept in a fixed state during conversion and during
the subsequent conversion to read data. When changing
modes between conversions, keep in mind that the output
data of a particular channel will remain unchanged until
after that channel is converted again. For example: convert
a sequence of four channels (CH0, CH1, CH2, CH3) with
SELx = 011, then, after these channels are converted change
SELx to 001 to convert just CH0 and CH1. See Table 1.
During the conversion of the first set of two channels you
will be able to read the data from the same two channels
converted as part of the previous group of four channels.
Later, you could convert four or more channels to read
back the unread CH2 and CH3 data that was converted
in the first set of four channels. These pins are often
hardwired to enable the right number of channels for a
particular application. Choosing to convert fewer channels per conversion results in faster throughput of those
channels. For example, six channels can be converted at
250ksps/ch, while three channels can be converted at
500ksps/ch.
BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR MODE
The input voltage range for each of the CHx input differential pairs is UNIPOLAR 0V – 2.5V when BIP is LOW, and
BIPOLAR ±1.25V when BIP is HIGH. This pin must be kept
in fixed state during conversion and during subsequent
conversion to read data. When changing BIP between conversions the full acquisition time must be allowed before
starting the next conversion. After changing modes from
BIPOLAR to UNIPOLAR, or from UNIPOLAR to BIPOLAR,
you can still read the first set of channels in the new mode,
by inverting the MSB to read these channels in the mode
that they were converted in.
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUT
The differential analog inputs of the LTC2351-14 may be
driven differentially or as a single-ended input (i.e., the
CH0– input is grounded). All twelve analog inputs of all
six differential analog input pairs, CH0+ and CH0–, CH1+
and CH1–, CH2+ and CH2–, CH3+ and CH3–, CH4+ and
CH4– and CH5+ and CH5–, are sampled at the same instant. Any unwanted signal that is common to both inputs
of each input pair will be reduced by the common mode
rejection of the sample-and-hold circuit. The inputs draw
only one small current spike while charging the sampleand-hold capacitors at the end of conversion. During

LTC2351-14
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
conversion, the analog inputs draw only a small leakage
current. If the source impedance of the driving circuit is
low, then the LTC2351-14 inputs can be driven directly. As
source impedance increases, so will acquisition time. For
minimum acquisition time with high source impedance,
a buffer amplifier must be used. The main requirement is
that the amplifier driving the analog input(s) must settle
after the small current spike before the next conversion
starts (the time allowed for settling must be at least 39ns
for full throughput rate). Also keep in mind while choosing an input amplifier the amount of noise and harmonic
distortion added by the amplifier.
CHOOSING AN INPUT AMPLIFIER
Choosing an input amplifier is easy if a few requirements
are taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude
of the voltage spike seen by the amplifier from charging
the sampling capacitor, choose an amplifier that has a low
output impedance (< 100Ω) at the closed-loop bandwidth
frequency. For example, if an amplifier is used in a gain
of 1 and has a unity-gain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the
output impedance at 50MHz must be less than 100Ω.
The second requirement is that the closed-loop bandwidth must be greater than 40MHz to ensure adequate
small-signal settling for full throughput rate. If slower op
amps are used, more time for settling can be provided by
increasing the time between conversions. The best choice
for an op amp to drive the LTC2351-14 depends on the
application. Generally, applications fall into two categories:
AC applications where dynamic specifications are most
critical and time domain applications where DC accuracy
and settling time are most critical. The following list is a
summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving the
LTC2351-14. More detailed information is available in
the Linear Technology Databooks and on the Web site at

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INPUT FILTERING AND SOURCE IMPEDANCE
INPUT RANGE
The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and
other circuitry must be considered since they will add to
the LTC2351-14 noise and distortion. The small-signal
bandwidth of the sample-and-hold circuit is 50MHz. Any
noise or distortion products that are present at the analog
inputs will be summed over this entire bandwidth. Noisy
input circuitry should be filtered prior to the analog inputs.
A simple 1-pole RC filter is sufficient for many applications.
For example, Figure 1 shows a 47pF capacitor from CH0+
to ground and a 51Ω source resistor to limit the net input
bandwidth to 30MHz. The 47pF capacitor also acts as a
charge reservoir for the input sample-and-hold and isolates
the ADC input from sampling-glitch sensitive circuitry. High
quality capacitors and resistors should be used since these
components can add distortion. NPO and silvermica 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. When high amplitude unwanted signals
are close in frequency to the desired signal frequency a
multiple pole filter is required.
The analog inputs of the LTC2351-14 may be driven fully
differentially with a single supply. Either input may swing
up to VCC, provided the differential swing is no greater
than 2.5V with BIP (Pin 29) LOW, or ±1.25V with (BIP Pin
29) HIGH. The 0V to 2.5V range is also ideally suited for
single-ended input use with single supply applications. The
common mode range of the inputs extend from ground
to the supply voltage VCC. If the difference between the
CH+ and CH– at any input pair exceeds 2.5V (unipolar) or
1.25V (bipolar), the output code will stay fixed at positive
full-scale, and if this difference goes below 0V (unipolar) or
–1.25V (bipolar), the output code will stay fixed at negative full-scale.
High external source resistance, combined with 13pF
of input capacitance, will reduce the rated 50MHz input
bandwidth and increase acquisition time beyond 39ns.

INTERNAL REFERENCE
The LTC2351-14 has an on-chip, temperature compensated, bandgap reference that is factory trimmed to 2.5V
to obtain a precise 2.5V input span. The reference amplifier
output VREF, (Pin 23) must be bypassed with a capacitor
to ground. The reference amplifier is stable with capacitors of 1μF, or greater. For the best noise performance, a
10μF ceramic or a 10μF tantalum in parallel with a 0.1μF
ceramic is recommended. The VREF pin can be overdriven
with an external reference as shown in Figure 2. The
voltage of the external reference must be higher than the
2.5V of the open-drain P-channel output of the internal
reference. The recommended range for an external reference is 2.55V to VDD. An external reference at 2.55V will
see a DC quiescent load of 0.75mA and as much as 3mA
during conversion.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INPUT SPAN VERSUS REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The differential input range has a unipolar voltage span
that equals the difference between the voltage at the
reference buffer output VREF (Pin 23) and the voltage at
ground. The differential input range of the ADC is 0V to
2.5V when using the internal reference. The internal ADC
is referenced to these two nodes. This relationship also
holds true with an external reference.
Figure 5 shows the ideal input/output characteristics for
the LTC2351-14 in bipolar mode (BIP = HIGH). The code
transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB
values (i.e., 0.5LSB, 1.5LSB, 2.5LSB, FS – 1.5LSB). The
output code is 2’s complement with 1LSB = 2.5V/16384 =
153μV for the LTC2351-14. The LTC2351-14 has 0.7 LSB
RMS of gaussian white noise.
The ADC will always convert the difference of CH+ minus
CH–, independent of the common mode voltage at any pair
of inputs. The common mode rejection holds up at high
frequencies (see Figure 3.) The only requirement is that
both inputs not go below ground or exceed VDD.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
POWER-DOWN MODES
Upon power-up, the LTC2351-14 is initialized to the
active state and is ready for conversion. The nap and sleep
mode waveforms show the power down modes for the
LTC2351-14. The SCK and CONV inputs control the power
down modes (see Timing Diagrams). Two rising edges at
CONV, without any intervening rising edges at SCK, put
the LTC2351-14 in nap mode and the power consumption
drops from 16.5mW to 4.5mW. The internal reference
remains powered in nap mode. One or more rising edges
at SCK wake up the LTC2351-14 very quickly and CONV
can start an accurate conversion within a clock cycle.
Four rising edges at CONV, without any intervening rising
edges at SCK, put the LTC2351-14 in sleep mode and the
power consumption drops from 16.5mW to 12μW. One
or more rising edges at SCK wake up the LTC2351-14 for
operation. The internal reference (VREF ) takes 2ms to
slew and settle with a 10μF load. Using sleep mode more
frequently compromises the accuracy of the output data.
Note that for slower conversion rates, the nap and sleep
modes can be used for substantial reductions in power
consumption.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2351-14 has a 3-wire SPI (serial peripheral
interface). The SCK and CONV inputs and SDO output
implement this interface. The SCK and CONV inputs
accept swings from 3V logic and are TTL compatible, if the
logic swing does not exceed VDD. A detailed description
of the three serial port signals follows:
Conversion Start Input (CONV)
The rising edge of CONV starts a conversion, but subsequent rising edges at CONV are ignored by the LTC2351-14
until the following 96 SCK rising edges have occurred. The
duty cycle of CONV can be arbitrarily chosen to be used as
a frame sync signal for the processor serial port. A simple
approach to generate CONV is to create a pulse that is one
SCK wide to drive the LTC2351-14 and then buffer this
signal to drive the frame sync input of the processor serial
port. It is good practice to drive the LTC2351-14 CONV
input first to avoid digital noise interference during the
sample-to-hold transition triggered by CONV at the start
of conversion. It is also good practice to keep the width
of the low portion of the CONV signal greater than 15ns
to avoid introducing glitches in the front end of the ADC
just before the sample-and-hold goes into hold mode at
the rising edge of CONV.
Minimizing Jitter on the CONV Input
In high speed applications where high amplitude sine waves
above 100kHz are sampled, the CONV signal must have
as little jitter as possible (10ps or less). The square wave
output of a common crystal clock module usually meets
this requirement. The challenge is to generate a CONV
signal from this crystal clock without jitter corruption from
other digital circuits in the system. A clock divider and
any gates in the signal path from the crystal clock to the
CONV input should not share the same integrated circuit
with other parts of the system. The SCK and CONV inputs
should be driven first, with digital buffers used to drive
the serial port interface. Also note that the master clock
in the DSP may already be corrupted with jitter, even if it
comes directly from the DSP crystal. Another problem with
high speed processor clocks is that they often use a low
cost, low speed crystal (i.e., 10MHz) to generate a fast,
but jittery, phase-locked loop system clock (i.e., 40MHz).
The jitter in these PLL-generated high speed clocks can be
several nanoseconds. Note that if you choose to use the
frame sync signal generated by the DSP port, this signal
will have the same jitter of the DSP’s master clock.
The Typical Application on the last page of this datasheet
shows a circuit for level shifting and squaring the output
from an RF signal generator or other low jitter source. A
single D-type flip-flop is used to generate the CONV signal
to the LTC2351-14. Re-timing the master clock signal
eliminates clock jitter introduced by the controlling device
(DSP, FPGA, etc.) Both the inverter and flip-flop must be
treated as analog components and should be powered
from a clean analog supply.
Serial Clock Input (SCK)
The rising edge of SCK advances the conversion process
and also udpates each bit in the SDO data stream. After
CONV rises, the third rising edge of SCK sends out up to
six sets of 14 data bits, with the MSB sent first. A simple
approach is to generate SCK to drive the LTC2351-14 first

LTC2351-14
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
and then buffer this signal with the appropriate number of
inverters to drive the serial clock input of the processor
serial port. Use the falling edge of the clock to latch data
from the serial data output (SDO) into your processor
serial port. The 14-bit serial data will be received in six
16-bit words with 96 or more clocks per frame sync. If
fewer than six channels are selected by SEL0–SEL2 for
conversion, then 16 clocks are needed per channel to
convert the analog inputs and read out the resulting data
after the next convert pulse. It is good practice to drive the
LTC2351-14 SCK input first to avoid digital noise interference during the internal bit comparison decision by the
internal high speed comparator. Unlike the CONV input,
the SCK input is not sensitive to jitter because the input
signal is already sampled and held constant.
Serial Data Output (SDO)
Upon power-up, the SDO output is automatically reset to
the high impedance state. The SDO output remains in high
impedance until a new conversion is started. SDO sends out
up to six sets of 14 bits in the output data stream after the
third rising edge of SCK after the start of conversion with
the rising edge of CONV. The six, or fewer, 14-bit words are
separated by two don’t care bits and two clock cycles in
high impedance mode. Please note the delay specification
from SCK to a valid SDO. SDO is always guaranteed to
be valid by the next rising edge of SCK. The 16- to 96-bit
output data stream is compatible with the 16-bit or 32-bit
serial port of most processors.
High quality tantalum and ceramic bypass capacitors
should be used at the VCC, VDD and VREF pins, as shown
in the Block Diagram on the first page of this data sheet.
For optimum performance, a 10μF surface mount tantalum
capacitor with a 0.1μF ceramic is recommended for the
VCC, VDD and VREF pins. Alternatively, 10μF ceramic chip
capacitors such as X5R or X7R may be used. The capacitors must be located as close to the pins as possible. The
traces connecting the pins and the bypass capacitors must
be kept short and should be made as wide as possible. The
VCC and VDD bypass capacitor returns to the ground plane
and the VREF bypass capacitor returns to the Pin 22. Care
should be taken to place the 0.1μF VCC and VDD bypass
capacitor as close to Pins 24 and 25 as possible.
Figure 6 shows the recommended system ground connections. All analog circuitry grounds should be terminated at
the LTC2351-14 Exposed Pad. The ground return from the
LTC2351-14 to the power supply should be low impedance
for noise-free operation. The Exposed Pad of the 32-pin
QFN package is also internally tied to the ground pads.
The Exposed Pad should be soldered on the PC board to
reduce ground connection inductance. All ground pins
(GND, DGND, OGND) must be connected directly to the
same ground plane under the LTC2351-14.

BOARD LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high resolution and/or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best
performance from the LTC2351-14, a printed circuit board
with ground plane is required. Layout for the printed circuit
board should ensure that digital and analog signal lines
are separated as much as possible. In particular, care
should be taken not to run any digital track alongside an
analog signal track. If optimum phase match between the
inputs is desired, the length of the twelve input wires of
the six input channels should be kept matched. But each
pair of input wires to the six input channels should be
kept separated by a ground trace to avoid high frequency
crosstalk between channels.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
HARDWARE INTERFACE TO TMS320C54x
The LTC2351-14 is a serial output ADC whose interface
has been designed for high speed buffered serial ports in
fast digital signal processors (DSPs). Figure 7 shows an
example of this interface using a TMS320C54X.
The buffered serial port in the TMS320C54x has direct
access to a 2kB segment of memory. The ADC’s serial
data can be collected in two alternating 1kB segments,
in real time, at the full 1.5Msps conversion rate of the
LTC2351-14. The DSP assembly code sets frame sync
mode at the BFSR pin to accept an external positive going

pulse and the serial clock at the BCLKR pin to accept an
external positive edge clock. Buffers near the LTC2351-14
may be added to drive long tracks to the DSP to prevent
corruption of the signal to LTC2351-14. This configuration
is adequate to traverse a typical system board, but source
resistors at the buffer outputs and termination resistors
at the DSP, may be needed to match the characteristic
impedance of very long transmission lines. If you need
to terminate the SDO transmission line, buffer it first with
one or two 74ACxx gates. The TTL threshold inputs of the
DSP port respond properly to the 3V swing used with the
LTC2351-14.
