At an OSR of 32,768, the first NULL is at fN = 55Hz and the no latency output rate is fN/8 = 6.9Hz. At the maximum OSR, the noise performance of the device is 280nVRMS (LTC2446) and 200nVRMS (LTC2447) with better than 80dB rejection of 50Hz ±2% and 60Hz ±2%. Since the OSR is large (32,768) the wide band rejection is extremely large and the anti-aliasing requirements are simple. The first multiple of fS occurs at 55Hz • 32,768 = 1.8MHz, see Figure 13. 60 120 240 0 180 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT SIGNAL FREQUENCY (Hz) 24467 F11 NOTCH (fN) *Simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) 0 OSR 47 49 51 53 55 57 59 61 63 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT SIGNAL FREQUENCY (Hz) 24467 F12 Figure 12.

While the NULL has shifted, the sample rate remains constant. As a result of constant modulator sampling rate, the linearity, offset and full-scale performance remain unchanged as does the first multiple of fS. The sample rate fS and NULL fN, may also be adjusted by driving the FO pin with an external oscillator. The sample rate is fS = fEOSC/5, where fEOSC is the frequency of the clock applied to FO. Combining a large OSR with a reduced sample rate leads to notch frequencies fN near DC while maintaining simple anti-aliasing requirements. A 100kHz clock applied to FO results in a NULL at 0.6Hz plus all harmonics up to 20kHz, see Figure 14. This is useful in applications requiring digitalization of the DC component of a noisy input signal and eliminates the need of placing a 0.6Hz filter in front of the ADC.

The unique no latency architecture allows seamless changes in both input channel and reference while the absolute accuracy ensures excellent matching between both analog input channels and reference channels. Any set of inputs (differential or single-ended) can perform a conversion with one of two references. For Bridges, RTDs and other ratiometric devices, each set of channels can perform a conversion with respect to a unique reference voltage. For Thermocouples, voltage sense, current sense and other absolute sensors, each set of channels can perform a conversion with respect to a single global reference voltage (see Figure 16). This allows users to measure both multiple absolute and multiple ratio metric sensors with the same device in such applications as flow, gas chromatography, multiple RTDs or bridges, or universal data acquisition. 24467fb 22 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2446 LTC2446/LTC2447 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION VCC VREF 10µF LTC2446 VREFG+ VREFO1+ RTD VREFO1– CH0 CH1 REF+ VREF23+ RATIOMETRIC RTD VREF23– CH2 CH3 IN+ IN– CS + – SDI VARIABLE SPEED RESOLUTION 24-BIT ∆Σ ADC SDO SCK CH4 VREF45+ BRIDGE CH5 REF– VREF45– ABSOLUTE vs VREFG CH6 CH7 COM VREFG 24467 F16 Figure 16.

The digital filter’s response can be adjusted by setting the oversample ratio (OSR) through the SPI interface or by supplying an external conversion clock to the FO pin. The LTC2446/LTC2447 has extremely good input noise rejection from the first notch frequency all the way out to the modulator sample rate (typically 1.8MHz). Effective noise bandwidth is a measure of how the ADC will reject wideband input noise up to the modulator sample rate. The example on the following page shows how the noise rejection of the LTC2446/LTC2447 reduces the effective noise of an amplifier driving its input. Table 7 lists the properties of the LTC2446/LTC2447 with various combinations of oversample ratio and clock frequency. Understanding these properties is the key to fine tuning the characteristics of the LTC2446/LTC2447 to the application. Example: If an amplifier (e.g. LT1219) driving the input of an LTC2446/LTC2447 has wideband noise of 33nV/√Hz, band-limited to 1.8MHz, the total noise entering the ADC input is: Maximum Conversion Rate 33nV/√Hz • √1.8MHz = 44.3µV. The maximum conversion rate is the fastest possible rate at which conversions can be performed. When the ADC digitizes the input, its digital filter rejects the wideband noise from the input signal. The noise reduction depends on the oversample ratio which defines the effective bandwidth of the digital filter. First Notch Frequency This is the first notch in the SINC4 portion of the digital filter and depends on the FO clock frequency and the oversample ratio. Rejection at this frequency and its multiples (up to the modulator sample rate of 1.8MHz) exceeds 120dB. This is 8 times the maximum conversion rate. At an oversample of 256, the noise bandwidth of the ADC is 787Hz which reduces the total amplifier noise to: 33nV/√Hz • √787Hz = 0.93µV. Table 7.

The ADC noise at OSR 128 and OSR 64 include effects from internal modulator quantization noise. 24467fb 24 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2446 LTC2446/LTC2447 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The total noise is the RMS sum of this noise with the 2µV noise of the ADC at OSR = 256. Automatic Offset Calibration of External Buffers/Amplifiers √(0.93µV)2 + (2µV)2 = 2.2µV. The LTC2447 enables an external amplifier to be inserted between the multiplexer output and the ADC input. This enables one external buffer/amplifier circuit to be shared between all nine analog inputs (eight single-ended or four differential). The LTC2447 performs an internal offset calibration every conversion cycle in order to remove the offset and drift of the ADC. This calibration is performed through a combination of front end switching and digital processing. Since the external amplifier is placed between the multiplexer and the ADC, it is inside the correction loop. This results in automatic offset correction and offset drift removal of the external amplifier. Increasing the oversample ratio to 32768 reduces the noise bandwidth of the ADC to 6.2Hz which reduces the total amplifier noise to: 33nV/√Hz • √6.2Hz = 82nV. The total noise is the RMS sum of this noise with the 200nV noise of the ADC at OSR = 32768. √(82nV)2 + (200nV)2 = 216nV. In this way, the digital filter with its variable oversampling ratio can greatly reduce the effects of external noise sources. 10 FIVE DIFFERENTIAL REFERENCE INPUTS MUX LTC2447 ADCINP 2 OFFSETS AND 1/f NOISE OF EXTERNAL SIGNAL CONDITIONING CIRCUITS ARE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED 3 – 1/2 LT1368 + ADCINN MUX MUXOUTP CH0-CH6/ COM MUXOUTN 9 SDI REF+ HIGH SPEED ∆Σ ADC REF– SCK SDO CS 1 0.1µF* *LT1368 REQUIRES 0.1µF OUTPUT COMPENSATION CAPACITOR (EXTERNAL AMPLIFIERS) 6 5 – 5V 8 1/2 LT1368 + 4 7 0.1µF* 0V 24467 F18 Figure 18.

It has rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, and it operates on a single 5V supply. Its open-loop gain is 1M and its input bias current is 10nA. It also requires at least a 0.1µF load capacitor for compensation. It is this feature that sets it apart from other amplifiers—the load capacitor attenuates sampling glitches from the LTC2447 ADCIN terminal, allowing it to achieve full performance of the ADC with high impedance at the multiplexer inputs. Another benefit of the LT1368 is that it can be powered from supplies equal to or greater than that of the ADC. This can allow the inputs to span the entire absolute maximum of GND – 0.3V to VCC + 0.3V. Using a positive supply of 7.5V to 10V and a negative supply of –2.5 to –5V gives the amplifier plenty of headroom over the LTC2447 input range. Interfacing Sensors to the LTC2447 Figure 19 shows a few of the ways that the multiple reference inputs of the LTC2447 greatly simplify sensor interfacing. Each of the four references is fully differential and has a differential range of 100mV to 5V. This opens up many possibilities for sensing voltages and currents, eliminating much of the analog signal conditioning circuitry required for interfacing to conventional ADCs. Figure 19a is a standard 350Ω, voltage excited strain gauge with sense wires for the excitation voltage. REF01+ and REF01– sense the excitation voltage at the gauge, compensating for voltage drop along the high current excitation supply wires. This can be a significant error, as the excitation current is 14mA when excited with 5V. Reference loading capacitors at the ADC are necessary to average the reference current during sampling. Both ADC inputs are always close to mid-reference, and hence close to mid-supply when using 5V excitation. Figure 19b is a novel way to interface the LTC2447 to a bridge that is specified for constant current excitation. The Fujikura FPM-120PG is a 120psig pressure sensor that is not trimmed for absolute accuracy, but is temperature compensated for low drift when excited by a constant current source. The LTC2447’s fully differential reference allows sensing the excitation current with a resistor in series with the bridge excitation. Changes in ambient temperature and supply voltage will cause the current to vary, but the LTC2447 compensates by using the current sense voltage as its reference. The input common mode will be slightly higher than mid-reference, but still far enough away from the positive supply to eliminate concerns about the buffer amplifier’s headroom. Figure 19c is an Omega 44018 linear output thermistor. Two fixed resistors linearize the output from the thermistors. The recommended 5700Ω series resistor is broken up into two 2850Ω resistors to give a differential output centered around mid-reference. This ensures that the buffer amplifiers have enough headroom at the negative supply. Note that the excitation is 3V, the maximum recommended by the manufacturer to prevent self-heating errors. The LTC2447 senses this reference voltage. Figure 19d shows a standard 100Ω platinum RTD. This circuit shows how to use the LTC2447 to make a direct resistance measurement, where the output code is the RTD resistance divided by the reference resistance. A 500Ω sense resistor allows measurement of resistance up to 250Ω. (A standard α = 0.00385 RTD has a resistance of 247.09Ω at 400°C.) The LTC2446 multiplexes rail-to-rail inputs directly to the ADC modulator and is suitable for low impedance resistive sources such as 100Ω RTDs and 350Ω strain gauges that are located close to the ADC. In applications where the source resistance is high or the source is located more 24467fb 26 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2446 LTC2446/LTC2447 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION than 5cm to 10cm from the ADC, the LTC2447 (with an LT1368 buffer) is appropriate. The LTC2447 automatically removes offset, drift and 1/f noise of the LT®1368. One consideration for single supply applications is that both ADC inputs should always be at least 100mV from the LT1368’s supply rails. All of the applications shown in Figure 19 are designed to keep both analog inputs far enough away from ground and VCC so that the LT1368 can operate on the same 5V supply as the LTC2447. Although the LT1368 has rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, these amplifiers still need some degree of headroom to work at the resolution level of the LTC2447. For input signals running rail-to-rail, the supply voltage of the LT1368 can be increased in order to provide the extra headroom. The LTC2446/LTC2447 reference have no such limitations —they are truly rail-to-rail, and will even operate up to 300mV outside the supply rails. Reference terminals may be connected directly to the ground plane or to a reference voltage that is decoupled to the ground plane with a 1µF or larger capacitor without any degradation of performance provided the connection is less than 5cm from the LTC2446/LTC2447. If the reference terminals are sensing a point more than 5cm to 10cm away from the ADC, the reference pins should be decoupled to the ground plane with 1µF capacitors. The reference terminals can also sense a resistive source with a resistance up to 500Ω located close to the LTC2446/ LTC2447, however parasitic capacitance must be kept to a minimum. If the sense point is more than 5cm from the ADC, then it should be buffered. The LT1368 is also an outstanding reference buffer. While offsets are not cancelled as in the ADC input circuit, the 200mV offset and 2mV/°C drift will not degrade the performance of most sensors. The LT1369 is a quad version of the LT1368, and can serve as the input buffer for an LTC2447 and two reference buffers. 24467fb For more information www.linear.com/LTC2446 27 LTC2446/LTC2447 PACKAGE DESCRIPTION Please refer to http://www.linear.com/product/LTC2446#packaging for the most recent package drawings.
