LTC1852/LTC1853
8-Channel, 10-Bit/12-Bit,
400ksps, Low Power, Sampling ADCs
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
The 10-bit LTC®1852 and 12-bit LTC1853 are complete
8-channel data acquisition systems. They include a flexible
8-channel multiplexer, a 400ksps successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, an internal reference and a
parallel output interface. The multiplexer can be configured
for single-ended or differential inputs, two gain ranges and
unipolar or bipolar operation. The ADCs have a scan mode
that will repeatedly cycle through all 8 multiplexer channels
and can also be programmed to sequence through up to
16 addresses and configurations. The sequence can also
be read back from internal memory.

The reference and buffer amplifier provide pin strappable
ranges of 4.096V, 2.5V and 2.048V. The parallel output
includes the 10-bit or 12-bit conversion result plus the
4-bit multiplexer address. The digital outputs are powered from a separate supply allowing for easy interface
to 3V digital logic. Typical power consumption is 10mW
at 400ksps from a single 5V supply and 3mW at 250ksps
from a single 3V supply.

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 with OGND and GND
wired together unless otherwise noted.
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above VDD,
they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input
currents of 100mA below ground or above VDD without latchup.
Note 4: When these pin voltages are taken below ground, they will be
clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents of
100mA below ground without latchup. These pins are not clamped to VDD.
Note 5: VDD = 5V, fSAMPLE = 400kHz, tr = tf = 2ns unless otherwise
specified.
Note 6: Linearity, offset and full-scale specifications apply for a singleended input on any channel with COM grounded.
Note 7: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
psRMS
straight line passing through the actual end points of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 8: Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 0.5LSB when
the output code flickers between 1111 1111 1111 and 0000 0000 0000.
For the LTC1853 and between 11 1111 1111 and 00 0000 0000 for the
LTC1852.
Note 9: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 10: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 11: The falling CONVST edge starts a conversion. If CONVST returns
high at a critical point during the conversion it can create small errors.
For the best results, ensure that CONVST returns high either within 400ns
after the start of the conversion or after BUSY rises.
Note 12: The analog input range is determined by the voltage on
REFCOMP. The gain error specification is tested with an external 4.096V
but is valid for any value of REFCOMP greater than 2V and less than
(VDD – 0.5V.)
Note 13: MUX address is updated immediately after BUSY falls.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CH0 to CH7 (Pins 1 to 8): Analog Input Pins. Input pins can
be used single ended relative to the analog input common
pin or differentially in pairs (CH0 and CH1, CH2 and CH3,
CH4 and CH5, CH6 and CH7).
COM (Pin 9): Analog Input Common Pin. For single-ended
operation (DIFF = 0), COM is the “–” analog input. COM
is disabled when DIFF is high.
REFOUT (Pin 10): Internal 2.5V Reference Output. Bypass
to analog ground plane with 1μF.
REFIN (Pin 11): Reference Mode Select/Reference Buffer
Input. REFIN selects the reference mode and acts as the
reference buffer input. REFIN tied to ground (Logic 0) will
produce 2.048V on the REFCOMP pin. REFIN tied to the
positive supply (Logic 1) disables the reference buffer
to allow REFCOMP to be driven externally. For voltages
between 1V and 2.6V, the reference buffer produces an
output voltage on the REFCOMP pin equal to 1.6384 times
the voltage on REFIN (4.096V on REFCOMP for a 2.5V
input on REFIN).
REFCOMP (Pin 12): Reference Buffer Output. REFCOMP
sets the full-scale input span. The reference buffer produces
an output voltage on the REFCOMP pin equal to 1.6384
times the voltage on the REFIN pin (4.096V on REFCOMP
for a 2.5V input on REFIN). REFIN tied to ground will
produce 2.048V on the REFCOMP pin. REFCOMP can be
driven externally if REFIN is tied to the positive supply.
Bypass to analog ground plane with 10μF tantalum in
parallel with 0.1μF ceramic or 10μF ceramic.

LTC1852/LTC1853
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LTC1852/LTC1853 are complete and very flexible
data acquisition systems. They consist of a 10-bit/12-bit,
400ksps capacitive successive approximation A/D converter with a wideband sample-and-hold, a configurable
8-channel analog input multiplexer, an internal reference
and reference buffer amplifier, a 16-bit parallel digital
output and digital control logic, including a programmable
sequencer.
CONVERSION DETAILS
The core analog-to-digital converter in the LTC1852/
LTC1853 uses a successive approximation algorithm and
an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an analog
signal to a 10-bit/12-bit parallel output. Conversion start
is controlled by the CS and CONVST inputs. At the start
of the conversion, the successive approximation register
(SAR) is reset. Once a conversion cycle is begun, it cannot
be restarted. During the conversion, the internal differential capacitive DAC output is sequenced by the SAR from
the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant bit
(LSB). The outputs of the analog input multiplexer are
connected to the sample-and-hold capacitors (CSAMPLE)
during the acquire phase and the comparator offset is
nulled by the zeroing switches. In this acquire phase, a
minimum delay of 150ns will provide enough time for
the sample-and-hold capacitors to acquire the analog
signal. During the convert phase, the comparator zeroing
switches are open, putting the comparator into compare
mode. The input switches connect CSAMPLE to ground,
transferring the differential analog input charge onto the
summing junction. This input charge is successively
compared with the binary weighted charges supplied by
the differential capacitive DAC. Bit decisions are made by
the high speed comparator. At the end of the conversion,
the differential DAC output balances the input charges.
The SAR contents (a 10-bit/12-bit data word), which
represents the difference of the analog input multiplexer
outputs, and the 4-bit address word are loaded into the
14-bit/16-bit output latches.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S/(N + D)] is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the ADC output. The output is band limited to frequencies above DC to below half the sampling
frequency. The effective number of bits (ENOBs) is a
measurement of the resolution of an ADC and is directly
related to the S/(N + D) by the equation:
ENOB = [S/(N + D) – 1.76]/6.02
where ENOB is the effective number of bits and S/(N + D) is
expressed in dB. At the maximum sampling rate of 400kHz,
the LTC1852/LTC1853 maintain near ideal ENOBs up to
and beyond the Nyquist input frequency of 200kHz.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion 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. THD
is expressed as:
THD= 20Log
V22 + V32 + V42 +...Vn2
V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental
frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the
second through nth harmonics. The LTC1852/LTC1853
have good distortion performance up to the Nyquist
frequency and beyond.
Intermodulation Distortion
If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral
component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can
produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition to
THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused
by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different
frequency.
18523fa

LTC1852/LTC1853
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied
to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function
can create distortion products at the sum and difference
frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
For example, the 2nd order IMD terms include (fa ± fb).
If the two input sine waves are equal in magnitude, the
value (in decibels) of the 2nd order IMD products can be
expressed by the following formula:
IMD ( fa ± fb) = 20Log
Amplitude at ( fa ± fb)
Amplitude at fa
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral
component excluding the input signal and DC. This value
is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of a
full-scale input signal.
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced
by 3dB for a full-scale input signal.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the S/(N + D) has dropped to 68dB for the LTC1853 (11
effective bits) or 56dB for the LTC1852 (9 effective bits).
The LTC1852/LTC1853 have been designed to optimize
input bandwidth, allowing the ADC to undersample input
signals with frequencies above the converter’s Nyquist frequency. The noise floor stays very low at high frequencies;
S/(N + D) becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies
far beyond Nyquist.
ANALOG INPUT MULTIPLEXER
The analog input multiplexer is controlled using the
single-ended/differential pin (DIFF), three MUX address
pins (A2, A1, A0), the unipolar/bipolar pin (UNI/BIP) and
the gain select pin (PGA). The single-ended/differential
pin (DIFF) allows the user to configure the MUX as eight
single-ended channels relative to the analog input common pin (COM) when DIFF is low or as four differential
pairs (CH0 and CH1, CH2 and CH3, CH4 and CH5, CH6
and CH7) when DIFF is high. The channels (and polarity in
the differential case) are selected using the MUX address
inputs as shown in Table 1. Unused inputs (including
the COM in the differential case) should be grounded to
prevent noise coupling.

In addition to selecting the MUX channel, the LTC1852/
LTC1853 also allows the user to select between two gains
and unipolar or bipolar inputs for a total of four input spans.
PGA high selects a gain of 1 (the input span is equal to the
voltage on REFCOMP). PGA low selects a gain of 2 where
the input span is equal to half of the voltage on REFCOMP.
UNI/BIP low selects a unipolar input span, UNI/BIP high

LTC1852/LTC1853
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LTC1852/LTC1853 have a unique differential sampleand-hold circuit that allows rail-to-rail inputs. The ADC will
always convert the difference of the “+” and “–” inputs
independent of the common mode voltage. The common
mode rejection holds up to high frequencies. The only
requirement is that both inputs can not exceed the AVDD
power supply voltage or ground. When a bipolar input
span is selected the “+” input can swing ± full scale relative to the “–” input but neither input can exceed AVDD or
go below ground.
Integral nonlinearity errors (INL) and differential nonlinearity errors (DNL) are independent of the common mode
voltage, however, the bipolar offset will vary. The change
in bipolar offset is typically less than 0.1% of the common
mode voltage.
input(s) must settle after the small current spike before
the next conversion starts (settling time must be less than
150ns for full throughput rate).
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 (
