LTC2460/LTC2462 Ultra-Tiny, 16-Bit ΔΣ ADCs with 10ppm/°C Max Precision Reference DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2460/LTC2462 are ultra tiny, 16-Bit analog-todigital converters with an integrated precision reference. They use a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and communicate through an SPI Interface. The LTC2460 is single-ended with a 0V to VREF input range and the LTC2462 is differential with a ±VREF input range. Both ADC’s include a 1.25V integrated reference with 2ppm/°C drift performance and 0.1% initial accuracy. The converters are available in a 12-pin DFN 3mm × 3mm package or an MSOP-12 package. They include an integrated oscillator and perform conversions with no latency for multiplexed applications. The LTC2460/LTC2462 include a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces the average input current several orders of magnitude when compared to conventional delta sigma converters. Following a single conversion, the LTC2460/LTC2462 automatically power down the converter and can also be configured to power down the reference. When both the ADC and reference are powered down, the supply current is reduced to 200nA. The LTC2460/LTC2462 can sample at 60 conversions per second, and due to the very large oversampling ratio, have extremely relaxed antialiasing requirements. Both include continuous internal offset and fullscale calibration algorithms which are transparent to the user, ensuring accuracy over time and the operating temperature range.

PIN FUNCTIONS
REFOUT (Pin 1): Reference Output Pin. Nominally 1.25V, this voltage sets the fullscale input range of the ADC. For noise and reference stability connect to a 0.1μF capacitor tied to GND. This capacitor value must be less than or equal to the capacitor tied to the reference compensation pin (COMP). REFOUT cannot be overdriven by an external reference. For applications that require an input range greater than 0V to 1.25V, please refer to the LTC2450/ LTC2452. COMP (Pin 2): Internal Reference Compensation Pin. For low noise and reference stability, tie a 0.1μF capacitor to GND. CS (Pin 3): Chip Select (Active LOW) Digital Input. A LOW on this pin enables the SDO output. A HIGH on this pin places the SDO output pin in a high impedance state and any inputs on SDI and SCK will be ignored. SDI (Pin 4): Serial Data Input Pin. This pin is used to program the sleep mode and 30Hz/60Hz output rate (LTC2460). SCK (Pin 5): Serial Clock Input. SCK synchronizes the serial data input/output. Once the conversion is complete, a new data bit is produced at the SDO pin following each SCK falling edge. Data is shifted into the SDI pin on each rising edge of SCK. SDO (Pin 6): Three-State Serial Data Output. SDO is used for serial data output during the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state and can be used to monitor the conversion status. GND (Pins 7, 11): Ground. Connect directly to the ground plane through a low impedance connection. REF– (Pin 8): Negative Reference Input to the ADC. The voltage on this pin sets the zero input to the ADC. This pin should tie directly to ground or the ground sense of the input sensor. IN+ (LTC2462), IN (LTC2460) (Pin 9): Positive input voltage for the LTC2462 differential device. ADC input for the LTC2460 single-ended device. IN– (LTC2462), GND (LTC2460) (Pin 10): Negative input voltage for the LTC2462 differential device. GND for the LTC2460 single-ended device. VCC (Pin 12): Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND with a 10μF capacitor in parallel with a low-series-inductance 0.1μF capacitor located as close to the device as possible. Exposed Pad (Pin 13 – DFN Package): Ground. Connect directly to the ground plane through a low impedance connection.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION Converter Operation Cycle The LTC2460/LTC2462 are low power, delta sigma, analog to digital converters with a simple SPI interface (see Figure 1). The LTC2462 has a fully differential input while the LTC2460 is single-ended. Both are pin and software compatible. Their operation is composed of three distinct states: CONVERT, SLEEP/NAP and DATA INPUT/OUTPUT. , The operation begins with the CONVERT state (see Figure 2). Once the conversion is finished, the converter automatically powers down (NAP) or under user control, both the converter and reference are powered down (SLEEP). The conversion result is held in a static register while the device is in this state. The cycle concludes with the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state. Once all 16-bits are read or an abort is initiated the device begins a new conversion. The CONVERT state duration is determined by the LTC2460/ LTC2462 conversion time (nominally 16.6 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 LTC2460/LTC2462 enters the SLEEP/NAP state and remains there until the chip select is LOW (CS = LOW). Following this condition, the ADC transitions into the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state.

While in the SLEEP/NAP state, when chip select input is HIGH (CS = HIGH), the LTC2460/LTC2462’s converters are powered down. This reduces the supply current by approximately 50%. While in the Nap state the reference remains powered up. In order to power down the reference in addition to the converter, the user can select the SLEEP

LTC2460/LTC2462 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
mode during the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state. Once the next conversion is complete, the SLEEP state is entered and power is reduced to less than 2μA. The reference is powered up once CS is brought low. The reference startup time is 12ms (if the reference and compensation capacitor values are both 0.1μF). Upon entering the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state, SDO outputs the sign (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 data and the result 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 and appears from MSB to LSB. The user can reliably latch this data on every rising edge of the external serial clock signal driving the SCK pin. During the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state, the LTC2460/ LTC2462 can be programmed to SLEEP or NAP (default) following the next conversion cycle. Data is shifted into the device through the SDI pin on the rising edge of SCK. The input word is 4 bits. If the first bit EN1 = 1 and the second bit EN2 = 0 the device is enabled for programming. The following two bits (SPD and SLP) will be written into the device. SPD (only used for the LTC2460) to select the 60Hz output rate, no offset calibration mode (SPD = 0, default). Set SPD = 1 for 30Hz mode with offset calibration. SPD is ignored for the LTC2462. The next bit (SLP) enables the sleep or nap mode. If SLP = 0 (default) the reference remains powered up at the end of the next conversion

cycle. If SLP = 1, the reference powers down following the next conversion cycle. The remaining 12 SDI input bits are ignored (don’t care). SDI may also be tied directly to GND or VDD in order to simplify the user interface. In the case of the LTC2460, the 60Hz output rate is selected if SDI is tied low and the 30Hz output rate is selected if SDI is tied to VDD. The LTC2462 output rate is always 60Hz independent of SDI or SPD. The reference sleep mode is disabled for both the LTC2460 and LTC2462 if SDI is tied to GND or VDD. The DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state concludes in one of two different ways. First, the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state operation is completed once all 16 data bits have been shifted out and the clock then goes low. This corresponds to the 16th falling edge of SCK. Second, the DATA INPUT/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 LTC2460/LTC2462 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 LTC2460/LTC2462 start a conversion cycle and follow the succession of states shown in Figure 2. The reference startup time following a POR is 12ms (CCOMP = CREFOUT = 0.1μF). The first conversion following powerup will be invalid since the reference voltage has not completely settled. The first conversion following power up can be discarded using the data abort command or simply read and ignored. The following conversions are accurate to the device specifications. Ease of Use The LTC2460/LTC2462 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,

LTC2460/LTC2462 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
multiplexing multiple analog input voltages requires no special actions. The LTC2460/LTC2462 perform offset 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 stability of the ADC performance with respect to time and temperature. The LTC2460/LTC2462 include a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces the average input current by several orders of magnitude when compared to traditional deltasigma architectures. This allows external filter networks to interface directly to the LTC2460/LTC2462. Since the average input sampling current is 50nA, an external RC lowpass filter using 1kΩ and 0.1μF results in
