APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Conversion Details

The LTC1420 is a high performance 12-bit A/D converter

that operates up to 10Msps. It is a complete solution with

an on-chip sample-and-hold, a 12-bit pipelined CMOS

ADC, a low drift programmable reference and an input

programmable gain amplifier. The digital output is paral-

lel, with a 12-bit two’s complement output and an out-of-

range (overflow) bit.

The rising edge of the CLK begins a conversion. The

differential analog inputs are simultaneously sampled and

passed on to the pipelined A/D. After two more conversion

starts (plus a 70ns conversion time) the digital outputs are

updated with the conversion result and will be ready for

capture on the third rising clock edge. Thus, even though

a new conversion is begun every time CLK goes high, each

result takes three clock cycles to reach the output.

The analog signals that are passed from stage to stage in

the pipelined A/D are stored on capacitors. The signals on

these capacitors will be lost if the delay between conver-

sions is too long. For accurate conversion results, the part

should be clocked faster than 20kHz.

In some pipelined A/D converters if there is no clock

present, dynamic logic on the chip will droop and the

power consumption sharply increases. The LTC1420

doesn’t have this problem. If the part is not clocked for

500µs, an internal timer will refresh the dynamic logic.

Thus, the clock can be turned off for long periods of time

to save power.

Power Supplies

The LTC1420 will operate from either a single 5V or dual

±5V supply, making it easy to interface the analog input to

single or dual supply systems. The digital output drivers

have their own power supply pin (OVDD) which can be set

from 3V to 5V, allowing direct connection to either 3V or

5V digital systems. For single supply operation, VSS should

be connected to analog ground. For dual supply operation,

VSS should be connected to – 5V. Both VDD pins should be

connected to a clean 5V analog supply. (Don’t connect VDD

to a noisy system digital supply.)

Analog Input Ranges

The LTC1420 has a flexible analog input with a wide

selection of input ranges. The input range is always

differential and is set by the voltages at the VREF and the

GAIN pins (Figure 1). The input range of the A/D core is

fixed at ±VREF/2. The reference voltage, VREF, is either set

by the on-chip voltage reference or directly driven by an

external voltage. The GAIN pin is a digital input that

controls the gain of a preamplifier in the sample-and-hold

circuit. The gain of this PGA can be set to 1× or 2×. Table␣ 1

gives the input range in terms of VREF and GAIN.

Internal Reference

Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the LTC1420

reference circuitry. An on-chip temperature compensated

bandgap reference (VCM) is factory trimmed to 2.500V.

The voltage at the VREF pin sets the input span of the ADC

to ±VREF/2. An internal voltage divider converts VCM to

2.048V, which is connected to a reference amplifier. The

reference programming pin, SENSE, controls how the

reference amplifier drives the VREF pin. If SENSE is tied to

ground, the reference amplifier feedback is connected to

the R1/R2 voltage divider, thus making VREF = 4.096V. If

SENSE is tied to VREF, the reference amplifier feedback is

connected to SENSE thus making VREF = 2.048V. If SENSE

is tied to VDD, the reference amplifier is disconnected from
