LTC2450 Easy-to-Use, Ultra-Tiny 16-Bit DS ADC Description
The LTC®2450 is an ultra-tiny 16-bit analog-to-digital converter. The LTC2450 uses a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, accepts a single-ended analog input voltage, and communicates through an SPI interface. It includes an integrated oscillator that does not require any external components. It uses a delta-sigma modulator as a converter core and provides single-cycle settling time for multiplexed applications. The converter is available in a 6-pin, 2mm × 2mm DFN package. The internal oscillator does not require any external components. The LTC2450 includes a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces the average input sampling current several orders of magnitude. The LTC2450 is capable of up to 30 conversions per second and, due to the very large oversampling ratio, has extremely relaxed antialiasing requirements. The LTC2450 includes continuous internal offset and full-scale calibration algorithms which are transparent to the user, ensuring accuracy over time and over the operating temperature range. The converter uses its power supply voltage as the reference voltage and the single-ended, rail-to-rail input voltage range extends from GND to VCC. Following a conversion, the LTC2450 can automatically enter a sleep mode and reduce its power to less than 200nA. If the user samples the ADC once a second, the LTC2450 consumes an average of less than 50µW from a 2.7V supply.

LTC2450 pin Functions
VCC (Pin 1): Positive Supply Voltage and Converter Reference Voltage. Bypass to GND (Pin 3) with a 10µF capacitor in parallel with a low series inductance 0.1µF capacitor located as close to the part as possible. VIN (Pin 2): Analog Input Voltage. GND (Pin 3): Ground. Connect to a ground plane through a low impedance connection. CS (Pin 4): Chip Select Active LOW Digital Input. A LOW on this pin enables the SDO digital output. A HIGH on this pin places the SDO output pin in a high impedance state. SDO (Pin 5): Three-State Serial Data Output. SDO is used for serial data output during the DATA OUTPUT state and can be used to monitor the conversion status. SCK (Pin 6): Serial Clock Input. SCK synchronizes the serial data output. While digital data is available (the ADC is not in CONVERT state) and CS is LOW (ADC is not in SLEEP state) a new data bit is produced at the SDO output pin following every falling edge applied to the SCK pin. Exposed Pad (Pin 7): Ground. The Exposed Pad must be soldered to the same point as Pin 3.

CONVERTER OPERATION Converter Operation Cycle The LTC2450 is a low power, delta-sigma analog-todigital converter with a simple 3-wire interface (see Figure 1). Its operation is composed of three successive states: CONVERT, SLEEP and DATA OUTPUT. The operating cycle begins with the CONVERT state, is followed by the SLEEP state and ends with the DATA OUTPUT state (see Figure 2). The 3-wire interface consists of serial data output (SDO), serial clock input (SCK) and the active low chip select input (CS). The CONVERT state duration is determined by the LTC2450 conversion time (nominally 33.3 milliseconds). Once started, this operation can not be aborted except by a low power supply condition (VCC < 2.1V) which generates an internal power-on reset signal. After the completion of a conversion, the LTC2450 enters the SLEEP state and remains here until both the chip select and clock inputs are low (CS = SCK = LOW). Following this condition the ADC transitions into the DATA OUTPUT state.
POWER-ON RESET
While in the SLEEP state, whenever the chip select input is pulled high (CS = HIGH), the LTC2450’s power supply current is reduced to less than 200nA. When the chip select input is pulled low (CS = LOW), and SCK is maintained at a HIGH logic level, the LTC2450 will return to a normal power consumption level. During the SLEEP state, the result of the last conversion is held indefinitely in a static register. Upon entering the DATA OUTPUT state, SDO outputs the most significant bit (D15) of the conversion result. During this state, the ADC shifts the conversion result serially through the SDO output pin under the control of the SCK input pin. There is no latency in generating this result and it corresponds to the last completed conversion. A new bit of data appears at the SDO pin following each falling edge detected at the SCK input pin. The user can reliably latch this data on every rising edge of the external serial clock signal driving the SCK pin (see Figure 3). The DATA OUTPUT state concludes in one of two different ways. First, the DATA OUTPUT state operation is completed once all 16 data bits have been shifted out and the clock then goes low, which corresponds to the 16th falling edge of SCK. Second, the DATA OUTPUT state can be aborted at any time by a LOW-to-HIGH transition on the CS input. Following either one of these two actions, the LTC2450 will enter the CONVERT state and initiate a new conversion cycle. Power-Up Sequence When the power supply voltage VCC applied to the converter is below approximately 2.1V, the ADC performs a power-on reset. This feature guarantees the integrity of the conversion result. When VCC rises above this critical threshold, the converter generates an internal power-on reset (POR) signal for approximately 0.5ms. The POR signal clears all internal registers. Following the POR signal, the LTC2450 starts a conversion cycle and follows the succession of states described in Figure 2. The first conversion result following POR is accurate within the specifications of the device if the power supply voltage VCC is restored within the operating range (2.7V to 5.5V) before the end of the POR time interval.

Ease of Use The LTC2450 data output has no latency, filter settling delay or redundant results associated with the conversion cycle. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the conversion and the output data. Therefore, multiplexing multiple analog input voltages requires no special actions. The LTC2450 performs offset and full-scale calibrations every conversion. This calibration is transparent to the user and has no effect upon the cyclic operation described previously. The advantage of continuous calibration is extreme stability of the ADC performance with respect to time and temperature. The LTC2450 includes a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces the average input current several orders of magnitude as compared to traditional delta sigma architectures. This allows external filter networks to interface directly to the LTC2450. Since the average input sampling current is 50nA, an external RC lowpass filter using a 1kΩ and 0.1µF results in
