Single Chip 12-Bit  
Data Acquisition System

FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
Built-In Sample-and-Hold  
The LTC®1291 is a data acquisition system that contains  
a serial I/O successive approximation A/D converter. It  
uses LTCMOSTM switched capacitor technology to per-  
form a 12-bit unipolar A/D conversion. The input multi-  
plexer can be configured for either single-ended or differ-  
ential inputs. An on-chip sample-and-hold is included on  
the “+” input. When the LTC1291 is idle, it can be powered  
down in applications where low power consumption is  
desired. An external reference is not required because the  
LTC1291 takes its reference from the power supply (VCC).  
All these features are packaged in an 8-pin DIP.

KEY SPECIFICATIO S  
TheserialI/Oisdesignedtocommunicatewithoutexternal  
hardware to most MPU serial ports and all MPU parallel  
I/O ports allowing data to be transmitted over three or four  
wires. Given the accuracy, ease of use and small package  
size, this device is well suited for digitizing analog signals  
in remote applications where minimum number of inter-  
connects, small physical size, and low power consump-  
tion are important.

Note 7: Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input which will  
conduct for analog voltages one diode drop below GND or one diode drop  
above V . Be careful during testing at low V levels (4.5V), as high level  
analog inputs (5V) can cause this input diode to conduct, especially at  
elevated temperature, and cause errors for inputs near full scale. This spec  
allows 50mV forward bias of either diode. This means that as long as the  
analog input does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50mV, the  
output code will be correct.  
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life  
of a device may be impaired.  
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to ground (unless otherwise  
noted).

Note 4: One LSB is equal to V divided by 4096. For example, when V

5V, 1LSB = 5V/4096 = 1.22mV.  
Note 5: Linearity error is specified between the actual end points of the  
A/D transfer curve. The deviation is measured from the center of the  
quantization band.  
Note 8: Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.  
Note 9: Increased leakage currents at elevated temperatures cause the

The output data of the LTC1291 is programmed for MSB-  
first or LSB-first sequence using the MSBF bit. When the  
MSBF bit is a logical one, data will appear on the DOUT line  
in MSB-first format. Logical zeroes will be filled in indefi-  
nitely following the last data bit to accommodate longer  
word lengths required by some microprocessors. When  
the MSBF bit is a logical zero, LSB-first data will follow the  
normal MSB-first data on the DOUT line (see Operating

Start Bit  
The first “logical one” clocked into the DIN input after CS  
goes low is the start bit. The start bit initiates the data  
transfer and all leading zeroes which precede this logical  
one will be ignored. After the start bit is received, the  
remaining bits of the input word will be clocked in. Further  
inputs on the DIN pin are then ignored until the next CS  
cycle.  
Power Shutdown  
The power shutdown feature of the LTC1291 is activated  
by making the PS bit a logical zero. If CS remains low after  
the PS bit has been received, a 12-bit DOUT word with all  
logical ones will be shifted out followed by logical zeroes  
until CS goes high. Then the DOUT line will go into its high  
impedance state. The LTC1291 will remain in the shut-  
down mode until the next CS cycle. There is no warm-up  
or wait period required after coming out of the power  
shutdown cycle so a conversion can commence after CS  
goes low (see Power Shutdown Operating Sequence).  
MUX Address  
The bits of the input word following the START BIT assign  
the MUX configuration for the requested conversion. For  
a given channel selection, the converter will measure the  
voltage between the two channels indicated by the “+” and  
“–” signs in the selected row of the following table. In  
single-ended mode, all input channels are measured with  
respect to GND. Only the “+” inputs have sample-and-  
holds. Signals applied at the “–” inputs must not change  
more than the required accuracy during the conversion.

Interfacing to the Parallel Port of the Intel 8051 Family  
This works very well. One can save a line by tying the DIN  
and DOUT lines together. The 8051 first sends the start bit  
and MUX Address to the LTC1291 over the line connected  
toP1.2. ThenP1.2isreconfiguredasaninputandthe8051  
reads back the 12-bit A/D result over the same data line.  
The Intel 8051 has been chosen to show the interface  
between the LTC1291 and parallel port microprocessors.  
UsuallythesignalsCS, DIN andCLKaregeneratedonthree  
port lines and the DOUT signal is read on a fourth port line.

ANALOG CONSIDERATIONS  
Grounding  
The LTC1291 should be used with an analog ground plane  
and single point grounding techniques. Do not use wire  
wrappingtechniquestobreadboardandevaluatethedevice.  
Toachievetheoptimumperformance,useaPCboard.The  
ground pin (Pin 4) should be tied directly to the ground  
plane with minimum lead length. Figure 4 shows an  
exampleofanidealLTC1291groundplaneforatwo-sided  
board. Of course this much ground plane will not always  
be possible, but users should strive to get as close to this  
ideal as possible.

Figure 4. Example Ground Plane for the LTC1291  
Analog Inputs  
Bypassing  
Because of the capacitive redistribution A/D conversion  
techniques used, the analog inputs of the LTC1291 have  
capacitive switching input current spikes. These current  
spikes settle quickly and do not cause a problem. If large  
source resistances are used or if slow settling op amps  
drive the inputs, take care to insure the transients caused  
by the current spikes settle completely before the  
conversion begins.  
For good performance, VCC must be free of noise and  
ripple. Any changes in the VCC voltage with respect to  
ground during the conversion cycle can induce error or  
noise in the output code. VCC noise and ripple can be kept  
below 0.5mV by bypassing the VCC pin directly to the  
analog ground plane with a minimum of 22µF tantalum  
capacitor and with leads as short as possible. A 0.1µF  
ceramic disk capacitor should also be placed directly  
across VCC (Pin 8) and GND (Pin 4) as close to the pins as  
possible. The VCC supply should have a low output  
impedance such as that obtained from a voltage regulator  
(e.g., LT323A). Figures 5 and 6 show the effects of good  
and poor VCC bypassing.  
Minimizing Gain and Offset Error  
Because the LTC1291’s reference is taken from the power  
supply pin (VCC), proper PC board layout and supply  
bypassing is important for attaining the best performance  
from the A/D converter. Any parasitic resistance in the VCC

orGNDleadwillcausegainerrorsandoffseterrors(Figure  
7). For the best performance the LTC1291 should be  
soldered directly to the PC board. If the source can not be  
placed next to the pin and the gain parameter is important,  
the pin should be Kelvin-sensed to eliminate parasitic  
resistances due to long PC traces. For example, 0.1of  
resistance in the VCC lead can typically cause 0.5LSB  
(ICC • 0.1/VCC) of gain error for VCC = 5V.  
and capacitances will slow the settling of the inputs. It is  
important that the overall RC time constant is short  
enough to allow the analog inputs to settle completely  
within the allowed time.  
“+” Input Settling  
The input capacitor is switched onto the “+” input during  
thesamplephase(tSMPL, seeFigure9). Thesampleperiod  
is 2.5 CLK cycles before a conversion starts. The voltage  
on the “+” input must settle completely within the sample  
period. Minimizing RSOURCE+ and C1 will improve the  
settling time. If large “+” input source resistance must be  
used, the sample time can be increased by using a slower  
CLK frequency. With the minimum possible sample time  
of 2.5µs, RSOURCE+ < 1.0k and C1 < 20pF will provide  
adequate settle time.  
When the input MUX is selected for single-ended input the  
minus terminal is connected to GND internally on the die.  
Any parasitic resistance from the GND pin to the ground  
plane will lead to an offset voltage (ICC • RP2).

During the conversion, the “+” input voltage is effectively  
“held” by the sample-and-hold and will not affect the  
conversion result. It is critical that the “–” input voltage be  
free of noise and settle completely during the first CLK  
cycle of the conversion. Minimizing RSOURCE– and C2 will  
improve settling time. If large “–” input source resistance  
must be used, the time can be extended by using a slower  
CLK frequency. At the maximum CLK frequency of 1MHz,

The analog inputs of the LTC1291 look like a 100pF  
capacitor (CIN) in series with a 500resistor (RON). CIN  
gets switched between “+” and “–” inputs once during  
each conversion cycle. Large external source resistors  
Input Op Amps  
When driving the analog inputs with an op amp, it is  
important that the op amp settles within the allowed time  
(see Figure 9). Again the “+” and “–” input sampling times  
can be extended as described above to accommodate  
slower op amps. Most op amps including the LT1006 and  
LT1013 single supply op amps can be made to settle well  
even with the minimum settling windows of 2.5µs (“+”  
input) and 1µs (“–” input) that occurs at the maximum  
clock rate of 1MHz. Figures 10 and 11 show examples  
adequate and poor op amp settling.

mode and the conversion begins.  
It is possible to filter the inputs with an RC network as  
shown in Figure 12. For large values of CF (e.g., 1µF) the  
capacitive input switching currents are averaged into a net  
DC current. A filter should be chosen with a small resistor  
and a large capacitor to prevent DC drops across the  
resistor.ThemagnitudeoftheDCcurrentisapproximately  
I
DC = 100pF • VIN/tCYC and is roughly proportional to VIN.  
When running at the minimum cycle time of 18.5µs, the  
input current equals 27µA at VIN = 5V. Here a filter resistor  
of4.5willcause0.1LSBoffull-scaleerror. Ifalargefilter

Differential Input

voltage but converts the difference between two voltages.  
The voltage on the +IN pin is sampled and held and can be  
rapidly time varying. The voltage on the –IN pin must  
remainconstantandbefreeofnoiseandripplethroughout  
the conversion time. Otherwise the differencing operation  
will not be done accurately. The conversion time is 12 CLK  
cycles. Therefore a change in the –IN input voltage during  
this interval can cause conversion errors. For a sinusoidal  
voltage on the –IN input this error would be:

Where f(–IN) is the frequency of the –IN input voltage,  
VPEAK is its peak amplitude and fCLK is the frequency of the  
CLK. Usually VERROR will not be significant. For a 60Hz  
signal on the –IN input to generate a 0.25LSB error  
(300µV) with the converter running at CLK = 1MHz, its  
peakvaluewouldhavetobe66mV. Rearrangingtheabove  
equation, the maximum sinusoidal signal that can be  
digitized to a given accuracy is given as:

Input leakage currents also can create errors if the source

leakage specification of 1µA (at 125°C) flowing through a  
source resistance of 1k will cause a voltage drop of 1mV  
or 0.8LSB. This error will be much reduced at lower  
temperatures because leakage drops rapidly (see typical  
performance characteristics curve Input Channel Leakage  
Current vs Temperature).

Overvoltage Protection  
Applying signals to the LTC1291’s analog inputs that  
exceed the positive supply or that go below ground will  
degrade the accuracy of the A/D and possibly damage the  
device. For example, this condition will occur if a signal is  
applied to the analog inputs before power is applied to the  
LTC1291. It can also happen if the input source is operat-  
ingfromsuppliesoflargervaluethantheLTC1291supply.  
These conditions should be prevented either with proper  
supply sequencing or by use of external circuitry to clamp,  
or current limit the input source.

Figure 13. Overvoltage Protection for Inputs  
There are two ways to protect the inputs. In Figure 13  
diode clamps from the inputs to VCC and GND are used.  
The second method is to put resistors in series with the  
analog inputs for current limiting. Limit the current to  
15mA per channel. The +IN input can accept a resistor  
value of 1k but the –IN input cannot accept more than  
250when clocked at its maximum clock frequency of  
1MHz. If the LTC1291 is clocked at the maximum clock  
frequency and 250is not enough to current limit the  
input source, then the clamp diodes are recommended  
(Figures14and15). Thereasonforthelimitontheresistor  
value is that the MSB bit test is affected by the value of the  
resistor placed at the –IN input (see discussion on Analog  
Inputs and the typical performance characteristics Maxi-  
mum CLK Rate vs Source Resistance).
