PIN FUNCTIONS  
CHAIN (Pin 1): Chain Mode Selector Pin. When low, the  
LTC2380-24 operates in normal mode and the RDL/SDI  
input pin functions to enable or disable SDO. When high,  
the LTC2380-24 operates in chain mode and the RDL/SDI  
pin functions as SDI, the daisy-chain serial data input.

RDL/SDI (Pin 12): Bus Enabling Input/Serial Data Input  
Pin. This pin serves two functions depending on whether  
the part is operating in normal mode (CHAIN pin low) or  
chain mode(CHAIN pin high). In normal mode, RDL/SDI  
is a bus enabling input for the serial data I/O bus. When  
RDL/SDI is low in normal mode, data is read out of the  
ADC on the SDO pin. When RDL/SDI is high in normal  
mode, SDO becomes Hi-Z and SCK is disabled. In chain  
mode, RDL/SDI acts as a serial data input pin where data  
from another ADC in the daisy chain is input. Logic levels

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
impedance source should be buffered to minimize settling  
time during acquisition and to optimize ADC linearity. For  
best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used to  
drive the analog inputs of the LTC2380-24. The amplifier  
provides low output impedance, which produces fast set-  
tling of the analog signal during the acquisition phase. It  
also provides isolation between the signal source and the  
ADC input currents.  
Input Currents  
One of the biggest challenges in coupling an amplifier to  
the LTC2380-24 is in dealing with current spikes drawn  
by the ADC inputs at the start of each acquisition phase.  
The ADC inputs may be modeled as a switched capacitor  
load of the drive circuit. A drive circuit may rely partially  
on attenuating switched-capacitor current spikes with  
small filter capacitors C  
placed directly at the ADC  
FILT  
inputs, and partially on the driver amplifier having suffi-  
cient bandwidth to recover from the residual disturbance.  
Amplifiers optimized for DC performance may not have  
sufficientbandwidthtofullyrecoverattheADC’smaximum  
conversionrate, whichcanproducenonlinearityandother  
errors. Coupling filter circuits may be classified in three  
broad categories:  
Noise and Distortion  
The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifier and signal  
sourcemustbeconsideredsincetheyaddtotheADCnoise  
and distortion. Noisy input signals should be filtered prior  
to the buffer amplifier input with an appropriate filter to  
minimizenoise.Thesimple1-poleRClowpassfilter(LPF1)  
shown in Figure 4 is sufficient for many applications.  
Fully Settled – This case is characterized by filter time  
constants and an overall settling time that is consider-  
ably shorter than the sample period. When acquisition  
begins, the coupling filter is disturbed. For a typical first  
order RC filter, the disturbance will look like an initial step  
with an exponential decay. The amplifier will have its own  
response to the disturbance, which may include ringing. If  
the input settles completely (to within the accuracy of the  
LTC2380-24),thedisturbancewillnotcontributeanyerror.

BW = 48kHz  
BW = 1.2MHz  
PartiallySettledInthiscase, thebeginningofacquisition  
causes a disturbance of the coupling filter, which then  
begins to settle out towards the nominal input voltage.  
However, acquisition ends (and the conversion begins)  
before the input settles to its final value. This generally  
produces a gain error, but as long as the settling is linear,  
no distortion is produced. The coupling filter’s response  
is affected by the amplifier’s output impedance and other  
parameters. A linear settling response to fast switched-  
capacitor current spikes can NOT always be assumed for  
precision, low bandwidth amplifiers. The coupling filter  
serves to attenuate the current spikes’ high-frequency  
energy before it reaches the amplifier.  
Figure 4. Input Signal Chain  
A coupling filter network (LPF2) should be used between  
thebufferandADCinputtominimizedisturbancesreflected  
into the buffer from sampling transients. Long RC time

For single-ended input signals, a single-ended-to-

The LT6203 ADC driver is recommended for performing  
single-ended-to-differential conversions. The LT6203 is

signals of various amplitudes to the 5V differential input

DC Accuracy  
require substantial headroom to the power supply rails for  
best performance. Inverting amplifier circuits configured  
to minimize swing at the amplifier input terminals may  
perform better with less headroom than unity-gain buffer  
amplifiers. The linearity and thermal properties of an in-  
vertingamplifier’sfeedbacknetworkshouldbeconsidered  
carefully to ensure DC accuracy.  
Many driver circuits presented in this data sheet em-  
phasize AC performance (Distortion and Signal to Noise  
Ratio), and the amplifiers are chosen accordingly. The  
very low level of distortion is a direct consequence of the  
excellent INL of the LTC2380-24, and this property can  
be exploited in DC applications as well. Note that while  
the LTC6362 and LT6203 are characterized by excellent  
AC specifications, their DC specifications do not match  
those of the LTC2380-24. The offset of these amplifiers,  
forexample, ismorethan500μVundercertainconditions.  
In contrast, the LTC2380-24 has a guaranteed maximum  
offset error of 130µV (typical drift 0.007ppm/°C), and a  
guaranteed maximum full-scale error of 100ppm (typical  
drift 0.05ppm/°C). Low drift is important to maintain ac-  
curacyoverwidetemperaturerangesinacalibratedsystem.  
ADC REFERENCE  
The LTC2380-24 requires an external reference to define  
its input range. A low noise, low temperature drift refer-  
enceiscriticaltoachievingthefulldatasheetperformance  
of the ADC. Linear Technology offers a portfolio of high  
performance references designed to meet the needs of  
manyapplications. Withitssmallsize, lowpowerandhigh  
accuracy, the LTC6655-5 is particularly well suited for  
use with the LTC2380-24. The LTC6655-5 offers 0.025%  
(max) initial accuracy and 2ppm/°C (max) temperature  
coefficient for high precision applications.  
Amplifiers have to be selected very carefully to provide a  
24-bit accurate DC signal chain. A large-signal open-loop  
gain of at least 126dB may be required to ensure 1ppm  
linearity for amplifiers configured for a gain of negative  
1. However, less gain is sufficient if the amplifier’s gain  
characteristic is known to be (mostly) linear. An ampli-  
fier’s offset versus signal level must be considered for  
amplifiers configured as unity gain buffers. For example,  
1ppm linearity may require that the offset is known to  
vary less than 5μV for a 5V swing. However, greater offset  
variations may be acceptable if the relationship is known  
to be (mostly) linear. Unity-gain buffer amplifiers typically  
WhenchoosingabypasscapacitorfortheLTC6655-5, the  
capacitor’s voltage rating, temperature rating, and pack-  
age size should be carefully considered. Physically larger  
capacitorswithhighervoltageandtemperatureratingstend  
to provide a larger effective capacitance, better filtering  
the noise of the LTC6655-5, and consequently producing  
a higher SNR. Therefore, we recommend bypassing the  
LTC6655-5 with a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 1210  
size, 10V rating) close to the REF pin.

guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise  
measurements.

Digital Averaging Filter (SINC Decimation Filter)  
Auto Power-Down  
Many SAR ADC applications use digital averaging tech-  
niques to reduce the uncertainty of measurements due  
to noise. An FPGA or DSP is typically needed to compute  
the average of multiple A/D conversion results. The  
LTC2380-24 features an integrated digital averaging  
filter that can provide the function without any additional  
hardware, thus simplifying the application solution and  
providing a number of unique advantages. The digital  
averaging filter can be used to average blocks of as few  
as N = 1 or as many as N = 65536 conversion results.  
The LTC2380-24 automatically powers down after a con-  
version has been completed and powers up once a new  
conversion is initiated on the rising edge of CNV. During  
power-down,datafromthelastconversioncanbeclocked  
out. To minimize power dissipation during power-down,  
disableSDOandturnoffSCK.Theautopower-downfeature

during a conversion, the LTC2380-24 remains powered-

The digital averaging filter described in this section is also  
lower sample rates, thereby reducing the average power  
dissipation which scales with the sampling rate as shown

Digital averaging techniques are often employed to re-

beginning with conversion number 1. The output result  
(R1 + R2 + R3 + R4)/4 is read out after conversion number  
4, which resets the digital averaging filter again. Since the  
digital averaging filter automatically averages conversion  
results for each new conversion performed, an arbitrary  
number of conversion results, up to the upper limit of  
65536, may be averaged with no programming required.  
average of N conversion results. In each case, the result  
is read out between two consecutive A/D conversion  
(BUSY) periods, limiting the sampling rate to 1.5Msps  
with a 100MHz clock (see Timing Diagrams).  
Distributed Read  
Sampling rates greater than 1.5Msps are achievable when  
using a distributed read. Distributed reads require that  
multiple conversion results be averaged. A minimum of 4  
conversion results must be averaged to run the LTC2380-  
24 at its maximum sampling rate of 2Msps.  
Averaging 3 Conversion Results  
The output result, when averaging N conversion results  
for values of N that are not a power of 2, will be scaled by  
N/M, where M is a weighting factor that is the next power  
of 2 greater than N (described later in the Weighting Fac-  
tor section). Figure 18 shows an example where only 3  
conversion results are averaged. The output result read  
out is scaled by N/M = ¾.  
If at least 1 but less than 20 SCK pulses(0 < SCKs < 20)  
are given in a conversion cycle between 2 BUSY falling  
edges (See Figure 19), the I/O Register is not updated  
with the output of the digital averaging filter, preserving  
its contents. This allows an output result to be read from  
the I/O Register over multiple conversion cycles, easing  
the speed requirements of the serial interface.  
Using the Digital Averaging Filter with Reduced  
Data Rate  
A read is initiated by a rising edge of a first SCK pulse and  
it must be terminated before a next read can be initiated.  
The digital averaging filter is reset upon the initiation of a  
read wherein a new averaging operation begins. Conver-  
The examples given in Figures 16, 17 and 18 illustrate  
some of the most common ways to use the LTC2380-24.

the I/O Register since conversion numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5  
completed between the initiation of the two reads shown.  
Averaging 25 Conversions Using a Distributed Read  
A read is terminated by providing either 0 or greater  
than 19 SCK pulses (rising edges) in a conversion cycle  
between 2 BUSY falling edges, allowing the I/O Register  
to be updated with new averages from the output of the  
digital averaging filter.  
Figure20showsanexamplewhereareadisinitiatedevery  
25conversioncycles,usingasingleSCKpulseperconver-  
sion cycle to read the output result from the I/O Register.  
The first rising SCK edge initiates a read where a single  
bit is then read out over the next 23 conversion cycles. No  
SCK pulses are provided between the BUSY falling edges  
of conversion numbers 25 and 26, whereby the read is  
terminated at the completion of conversion number 26. A  
2nd read is initiated after conversion number 26, resulting  
in (R2 + R3 +…+ R25 + R26)/32 being read out from the  
I/O Register. Since 0 < SCKs < 20 pulses are given each  
conversion period during the read, the contents of the I/O  
Register are not updated, allowing the distributed read to  
occur without interruption.  
Averaging 4 Conversions Using a Distributed Read  
Figure 19 shows an example where reads are initiated  
every 4 conversion cycles, and the I/O register is read  
over 3 conversion cycles. This allows the serial interface  
to run at 1/3 of the speed that it would otherwise have to  
run. The first rising SCK edge initiates a 1st read, and 3  
groups of 8-bits are read out over 3 conversion cycles.  
No SCK pulses are provided between the BUSY falling  
edges of conversion numbers 4 and 5, whereby the read

When conversion results are averaged, the resulting  
output code represents an equally weighted average of

BOARD LAYOUT  
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2380-24  
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.  
Supply bypass capacitors should be placed as close as  
possible to the supply pins. Low impedance common re-  
turns for these bypass capacitors are essential to the low  
noise operation of the ADC. A single solid ground plane  
is recommended for this purpose. When possible, screen  
the analog input traces using ground.  
Reference Design  
For a detailed look at the reference design for this con-  
verter, including schematics and PCB layout, please refer  
to DC2289A, the evaluation kit for the LTC2380-24.
