DESCRIPTION
3.5Msps Conversion Rate
74.2dB SINAD at 14-Bits, 71.1dB SINAD at 12-Bits
Low Power Dissipation: 18mW
3.3V Single Supply Operation
2.5V Internal Bandgap Reference can be Overdriven
3-Wire SPI-Compatible Serial Interface
Sleep (13µW) Shutdown Mode
Nap (4mW) Shutdown Mode
80dB Common Mode Rejection
0V to 2.5V Unipolar Input Range
Tiny 10-Lead MSOP Package
The LTC®2355-12/LTC2355-14 are 12-bit/14-bit, 3.5Msps
serial ADCs with differential inputs. The devices draw
only 5.5mA from a single 3.3V supply and come in a
tiny 10-lead MSOP package. A Sleep shutdown feature
further reduces power consumption to 13µW. The combination of speed, low power and tiny package makes the
LTC2355-12/LTC2355-14 suitable for high speed, portable
applications.
The 80dB common mode rejection allows users to eliminate
ground loops and common mode noise by measuring
signals differentially from the source.
The devices convert 0V to 2.5V unipolar inputs differentially.
The absolute voltage swing for AIN+ and AIN– extends from
ground to the supply voltage.

The serial interface sends out the conversion results during
the 16 clock cycles following a CONV rising edge for compatibility with standard serial interfaces. If two additional
clock cycles for acquisition time are allowed after the data
stream in between conversions, the full sampling rate of
3.5Msps can be achieved with a 63MHz clock.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 3: When these pins are taken below GND or above VDD, they will be
clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents greater
than 100mA below GND or greater than VDD without latchup.
Note 4: Offset and full-gain specifications are measured for a single-ended
AIN+ input with AIN– grounded and using the internal 2.5V reference.
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.
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 AIN+ and AIN–.
Note 9: The absolute voltage at AIN+ and AIN– 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 is smaller (1ns)
because the 2.2ns delay through the sample-and-hold is subtracted from
the 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
16th rising clock and it is ended by the rising edge of convert.
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 to 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.
Note 17: VDD = 3.3V, fSAMPLE = 3.5Msps.
Note 18: The LTC2355-14 is measured and specified with 14-bit resolution
(1LSB = 152µV) and the LTC2355-12 is measured and specified with
12-bit resolution (1LSB = 610µV).
Note 19: The sampling capacitor at each input accounts for 4.1pF of the
input capacitance.

PIN FUNCTIONS
AIN+ (Pin 1): Noninverting Analog Input. AIN+ operates fully
differentially with respect to AIN– with a 0V to 2.5V differential swing and a 0V to VDD common mode swing.
(or 10µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic). Keep in
mind that internal analog currents and digital output signal
currents flow through this pin. Care should be taken to
place the 0.1µF bypass capacitor as close to Pins 6 and
7 as possible.
AIN– (Pin 2): Inverting Analog Input. AIN– operates fully
differentially with respect to AIN+ with a – 2.5V to 0V differential swing and a 0V to VDD common mode swing.
SDO (Pin 8): Three-State Serial Data Output. Each set
of output data words represents the difference between
AIN+ and AIN– analog inputs at the start of the previous
conversion.
VREF (Pin 3): 2.5V Internal Reference. Bypass to GND
and to a solid analog ground plane with a 10µF ceramic
capacitor (or 10µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic).
Can be overdriven by an external reference between 2.55V
and VDD.
SCK (Pin 9): External Clock Input. Advances the conversion
process and sequences the output data on the rising edge.
Responds to TTL (≤3.3V) and 3.3V CMOS levels. One or
more SCK pulses wakes the ADC from sleep mode.
GND (Pins 4, 5, 6, 11): Ground and Exposed Pad. These
ground pins and the exposed pad must be tied directly to
the solid ground plane under the part. Keep in mind that
analog signal currents and digital output signal currents
flow through these pins.
CONV (Pin 10): Convert Start. Holds the analog input signal
and starts the conversion on the rising edge. Responds
to TTL (≤3.3V) and 3.3V CMOS levels. Two CONV pulses
with SCK in fixed high or fixed low state start Nap mode.
Four or more CONV pulses with SCK in fixed high or fixed
low state start Sleep mode.
VDD (Pin 7): 3.3V Positive Supply. This single power pin
supplies 3.3V to the entire device. Bypass to GND and to
a solid analog ground plane with a 10µF ceramic capacitor

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUT
The differential analog inputs of the LTC2355-12/LTC2355‑14
may be driven differentially or as a single-ended input (i.e.,
the AIN– input is grounded). Both differential analog inputs, AIN+ and AIN–, 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 sample-and-hold
capacitors at the end of conversion. During conversion,
the analog inputs draw only a small leakage current. If the
source impedance of the driving circuit is low, then the
LTC2355-12/LTC2355-14 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 (settling time must be 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 (
