The LTC2381-16 has a high speed SPI-compatible serial
interface that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic
while also featuring a daisy-chain mode. The fast 250ksps
throughput with no cycle latency makes the LTC2381-16
ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed applications.
An internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external timing considerations. The LTC2381-16 automatically
powers down between conversions, leading to reduced
power dissipation that scales with the sampling rate.
The LTC2381-16 features a proprietary sampling architecture that enables the ADC to begin acquiring the next
sample during the current conversion. The resulting
extended acquisition time of 3.25µs allows the use of
extremely low power ADC drivers.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CHAIN (Pin 1): Chain Mode Selector Pin. When low, the
LTC2381-16 operates in Normal Mode and the RDL/SDI
input pin functions to enable or disable SDO. When high,
the LTC2381-16 operates in Chain Mode and the RDL/
SDI pin functions as SDI, the daisy chain serial data input.
RDL/SDI (Pin 12): When CHAIN is low, the part is in Normal Mode and the pin is treated as a bus enabling input.
When CHAIN is high, the part is in chain mode and the
pin is treated as a serial data input pin where data from
another ADC in the daisy chain is input.
VDD (Pin 2): 2.5V Digital Power Supply. The range of
VDD is 2.375V to 2.625V. Bypass VDD to GND with a 10µF
ceramic capacitor.
SCK (Pin 13): Serial Data Clock Input. When SDO is enabled,
the conversion result or daisy chain data from another ADC
is shifted out on the rising edges of this clock MSB first.
GND (Pins 3, 6, 10 and 16): Ground.
SDO (Pin 14): Serial Data Output. The conversion result or
daisy chain data is output on this pin on each rising edge
of SCK MSB first. The output data is in 2’s complement
format.
IN+, IN– (Pins 4, 5): Positive and Negative Differential
Analog Inputs.
REF (Pins 7, 8): Reference Input. The range of REF is 2.4V
to 2.6V. This pin is referred to the GND pin and should be
decoupled closely to the pin with a 47µF ceramic capacitor
(X5R, 0805 size).
OVDD (Pin 15): I/O Interface Digital Power. The range of
OVDD is 1.71V to 5.25V. This supply is nominally set to
the same supply as the host interface (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V,
or 5V). Bypass OVDD to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
CNV (Pin 9): Convert Input. A rising edge on this input
initiates a new conversion. When the conversion is done,
the part powers down as long as CNV is held high. When
CNV is returned low, the part powers up in preparation
for the next conversion.
GND (Exposed Pad Pin 17 – DFN Package Only): Ground.
Exposed pad must be soldered directly to the ground plane.
BUSY (Pin 11): BUSY indicator. Goes high at the start of
a new conversion and returns low when the conversion
has finished.

OVERVIEW
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2381-16 is a low noise, low power, high speed 16-bit
successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Operating
from a single 2.5V supply, the LTC2381-16 supports a
large ±2.5V fully differential input range, making it ideal
for high performance applications which require a wide
dynamic range. The LTC2381-16 achieves ±2LSB INL max,
no missing codes at 16-bits and 92dB SNR.
A rising edge on the CNV pin initiates a conversion. During
the conversion phase, the 16-bit CDAC is sequenced
through a successive approximation algorithm, effectively comparing the sampled input with binary-weighted
fractions of the reference voltage (e.g. VREF/2, VREF/4 …
VREF/65536) using the differential comparator. At the end
of conversion, the CDAC output approximates the sampled
analog input. The ADC control logic then prepares the 16bit digital output code for serial transfer.
Fast 250ksps throughput with no cycle latency makes the
LTC2381-16 ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed
applications. An internal oscillator sets the conversion time,
easing external timing considerations. The LTC2381-16
dissipates only 3.25mW at 250ksps, while an auto
power-down feature is provided to further reduce power
dissipation during inactive periods.
The LTC2381-16 features a proprietary sampling architecture that enables the ADC to begin acquiring the next
sample during the current conversion. The resulting
extended acquisition time of 3.25µs allows the use of
extremely low power ADC drivers.
TRANSFER FUNCTION
The LTC2381-16 digitizes the full-scale voltage of 2 × REF
into 216 levels, resulting in an LSB size of 76µV with
REF = 2.5V. The ideal transfer function is shown in Figure 2.
The output data is in 2’s complement format.
ANALOG INPUT
The analog inputs of the LTC2381-16 are fully differential
in order to maximize the signal swing that can be digitized.
The analog inputs can be modeled by the equivalent circuit

shown in Figure 3. The diodes at the input provide ESD
protection. In the acquisition phase, each input sees approximately 45pF (CIN) from the sampling CDAC in series
with 40Ω (RON) from the on-resistance of the sampling
switch. Any unwanted signal that is common to both inputs will be reduced by the common mode rejection of the
ADC. The inputs draw a current spike while charging the
CIN capacitors during acquisition. When the LTC2381-16
is not acquiring the input, the analog inputs draw only a
small leakage current.

For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used
to drive the analog inputs of the LTC2381-16. The amplifier provides low output impedance which produces fast
settling of the analog signal during the acquisition phase.
It also provides isolation between the signal source and
the current spike the ADC inputs draw.

Another filter network consisting of LPF2 and the 100Ω
series input resistors should be used between the buffer
and ADC inputs to both minimize the noise contribution
of the buffer and to help minimize disturbances reflected
into the buffer from sampling transients. Long RC time
constants at the analog inputs will slow down the settling
of the analog inputs. Therefore, LPF2 requires a wider
bandwidth than LPF1. A buffer amplifier with a low noise
density must be selected to minimize degradation of the
SNR. With the 482kHz lowpass filter shown in Figure 4,
the LT6350 provides the full data sheet performance of
the LTC2381-16.
High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in the
RC filters since these components can add distortion. NPO
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.

A low impedance source can directly drive the high impedance inputs of the LTC2381-16 without gain error. A

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For single-ended input signals, a single-ended to differential
conversion circuit must be used to produce a differential
signal at the inputs of the LTC2381-16. The LT6350 ADC
driver is recommended for performing single-ended-to-differential conversions. The LT6350 is flexible and may be
configured to convert single-ended signals of various
amplitudes to the ±2.5V differential input range of the
LTC2381-16. The LT6350 is also available in H-grade to
complement the extended temperature operation of the
LTC2381-16 up to 125°C.
Figure 5 shows the LT6350 being used to convert a 0V
to 2.5V single-ended input signal. In this case, the first
amplifier is configured as a unity gain buffer and the single-ended input signal directly drives the high-impedance
input of the amplifier. As shown in the FFT of Figure 5a,
the LT6350 drives the LTC2381-16 to full data sheet performance without degrading the SNR or THD .
The LT6350 can also be used to buffer and convert
single-ended signals larger than the input range of the
LTC2381-16 in order to maximize the signal swing that
can be digitized. Figure 6 shows the LT6350 converting a
0V-5V single-ended input signal to the ±2.5V differential
input range of the LTC2381-16. In this case, the first amplifier in the LT6350 is configured as an inverting amplifier
stage, which acts to attenuate the input signal down to the
0V-2.5V input range of the LTC2381-16. In the inverting
amplifier configuration, the single-ended input signal
source no longer directly drives a high impedance input
of the first amplifier. The input impedance is instead set
by resistor RIN. RIN must be chosen carefully based on
the source impedance of the signal source. Higher values
of RIN tend to degrade both the noise and distortion of
the LT6350 and LTC2381-16 as a system. R1, R2 and R3
must be selected in relation to RIN to achieve the desired
attenuation and to maintain a balanced input impedance
in the first amplifier. Table 1 shows the resulting SNR
and THD for several values of RIN , R1, R2 and R3 in this
configuration. Figure 6a shows the resulting FFT when
using the LT6350 as shown in Figure 6.
The LT6350 can also be used to buffer and convert large,
true bipolar signals which swing below ground to the
±2.5V differential input range of the LTC2381-16. Figure
7 shows the LT6350 being used to convert a ±10V true
bipolar signal for use by the LTC2381-16. The input impedance is again set by resistor RIN. Table 2 shows the
resulting SNR and THD for several values of RIN. Figure

performance references designed to meet the needs of
many applications. With its small size, low power and high
accuracy, the LTC6652-2.5 is particularly well suited for
use with the LTC2381-16. The LTC6652-2.5 offers 0.05%
(max) initial accuracy and 5ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient for high precision applications. The LTC6652-2.5
is fully specified over the H-grade temperature range and

LTC2381-16
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The REF pin of the LTC2381-16 draws charge (QCONV)
from the 47µF bypass capacitor during each conversion
cycle. The reference replenishes this charge with a DC
current, IREF = QCONV/tCYC. The DC current draw of the
REF pin, IREF , depends on the sampling rate and output
code. If the LTC2381-16 is used to continuously sample
a signal at a constant rate, the LTC6652-2.5 will keep the
deviation of the reference voltage over the entire code
span to less than 0.5LSBs.
When idling, the REF pin on the LTC2381-16 draws only a
small leakage current(< 1µA). In applications where a burst
of samples is taken after idling for long periods as shown
in Figure 8, IREF quickly goes from approximately 0µA to
a maximum of 285µA at 250ksps. This step in DC current
draw triggers a transient response in the reference that
must be considered since any deviation in the reference
output voltage will affect the accuracy of the output code.
In applications where the transient response of the reference is important, the fast settling LTC6655-2.5 reference
is recommended. Inserting a 1Ω resistor between the
47µF bypass capacitor and reference output as shown in
Figure 9 helps to improve the transient settling time and
minimize the reference voltage deviation.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) techniques are used to test
the ADC’s frequency response, distortion and noise at the

a typical SINAD of 92dB at a 250kHz sampling rate with
a 20kHz input.
supply voltage drops below 1V. Once the supply voltage
reenters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR will
reinitialize the ADC. No conversions should be initiated
until 20µs after a POR event to ensure the reinitialization
period has ended. Any conversions initiated before this
time will produce invalid results.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
TIMING AND CONTROL
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 10 shows
that the LTC2381-16 achieves a typical SNR of 92dB at a
250kHz sampling rate with a 20kHz input.
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). THD is expressed as:
THD = 20 log
V 22 + V 32 + V 42 + …+ VN2
V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre
quency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second
through Nth harmonics.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The LTC2381-16 provides two power supply pins: the 2.5V
power supply (VDD), and the digital input/output interface
power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply allows the
LTC2381-16 to communicate with any digital logic operating
between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and 3.3V systems.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2381-16 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 LTC2381-16
has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2381-16 at initial power-up or whenever the power
14
The LTC2381-16 conversion is controlled by CNV. A rising
edge on CNV will start a conversion. Once a conversion
has been initiated, it cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete. For optimum performance, CNV should
be driven by a clean low jitter signal. Converter status is
indicated by the BUSY output which remains high while
the conversion is in progress. To ensure that no errors
occur in the digitized results, any additional transitions
on CNV should occur within 40ns from the start of the
conversion or after the conversion has been completed.

the acquisition time to 3.25µs, easing settling requirements
and allowing the use of extremely low power ADC drivers.
(Refer to the Timing Diagram.)
Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2381-16 has an internal clock that is trimmed to
achieve a maximum conversion time of 2.5µs.
Auto Power-Down
The LTC2381-16 automatically powers down after a conversion has been completed as long as CNV remains high.
During power-down, the data from the last conversion
can be clocked out. To minimize power dissipation during
power-down, disable SDO and turn off SCK. To power up
the part, bring CNV low at least 200ns (tCONVL) before the
initiation of the next conversion. The auto power-down
feature will reduce the power dissipation of the LTC238116 as the sampling frequency is reduced. Since the time
required to power up the part does not change at lower
sample rates, the LTC2381-16 can remain powered-down
for a larger fraction of the conversion cycle (tCYC), thereby reducing the average power dissipation which scales
linearly with sampling rate as shown in Figure 11.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2381-16 has a serial digital interface. The flexible
OVDD supply allows the LTC2381-16 to communicate with
any digital logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems.
The serial output data is clocked out on the SDO pin when
an external clock is applied to the SCK pin if SDO is enabled.
Clocking out the data after the conversion will yield the
best performance. With a shift clock frequency of at least
15MHz, a 250ksps throughput is still achieved. The serial
output data changes state on the rising edge of SCK and
can be captured on the falling edge or next rising edge of
SCK. D15 remains valid till the first rising edge of SCK.
The serial interface on the LTC2381-16 is simple and
straightforward to use. The following sections describe the
operation of the LTC2381-16. Several modes are provided
depending on whether a single or multiple ADCs share the
SPI bus or are daisy-chained.

Normal Mode, Single Device
Figure 12 shows a single LTC2381-16 operated in Normal
Mode with CHAIN and RDL/SDI tied to ground. With RDL/
SDI grounded, SDO is enabled and the MSB(D15) of the
new conversion data is available at the falling edge of
BUSY. This is the simplest way to operate the LTC2381-16.
When CHAIN = 0, the LTC2381-16 operates in Normal
mode. In Normal mode, RDL/SDI enables or disables the
serial data output pin SDO. If RDL/SDI is high, SDO is in
high-impedance. If RDL/SDI is low, SDO is driven.

the RDL/SDI inputs idle high and are individually brought
low to read data out of each device between conversions.
When RDL/SDI is brought low, the MSB of the selected
device is output onto SDO. To ensure the MSB is properly
output and captured, SCK must be held low at least 1ns
before and 16ns after bringing RDL/SDI low.
Figure 13 shows multiple LTC2381-16 devices operating
in Normal Mode(CHAIN = 0) sharing CNV, SCK and SDO.
By sharing CNV, SCK and SDO, the number of required
signals to operate multiple ADCs in parallel is reduced.
Since SDO is shared, the RDL/SDI input of each ADC must
be used to allow only one LTC2381-16 to drive SDO at a

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When CHAIN = OVDD, the LTC2381-16 operates in Chain
Mode. In Chain Mode, SDO is always enabled and RDL/
SDI serves as the serial data input pin (SDI) where daisy
chain data output from another ADC can be input.
This is useful for applications where hardware constraints
may limit the number of lines needed to interface to a large
number of converters. Figure 14 shows an example with
two daisy chained devices. The MSB of converter A will
appear at SDO of converter B after 16 SCK cycles. The
MSB of converter A is clocked in at the SDI/RDL pin of
converter B on the rising edge of the first SCK.

BOARD LAYOUT
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2381-16
a printed circuit board is recommended. Layout for the
printed circuit board (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.
Recommended Layout
The following is an example of a recommended PCB layout.
A single solid ground plane is used. Bypass capacitors to
the supplies are 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. The analog input traces are screened by ground.
For more details and information refer to DC1571A, the
evaluation kit for the LTC2381-16.
