LTC2415/LTC2415-1  
24-Bit No Latency ∆Σ  
ADCs with Differential Input and  
Differential Reference  
DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
The LTC®2415/2415-1 are micropower 24-bit differential  
Σ analog to digital converters with integrated oscillator,  
2ppm INL, 0.23ppm RMS noise and a 2.7V to 5.5V supply  
range.Theyusedelta-sigmatechnologyandprovidesingle  
cycle settling time for multiplexed applications. Through a  
single pin, the LTC2415 can be configured for better than  
110dB input differential mode rejection at 50Hz or 60Hz  
2ꢀ, or it can be driven by an external oscillator for a  
user defined rejection frequency. The LTC2415-1 can be  
configured for better than 87dB input differential mode  
rejectionovertherangeof49Hzto61.2Hz(50Hzand60Hz  
2ꢀ simultaneously). The internal oscillator requires no  
external frequency setting components.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
CONVERTER OPERATION  
Data is updated on the falling edge of SCK allowing the  
user to reliably latch data on the rising edge of SCK (see  
Figure 3). The data output state is concluded once 32 bits  
are read out of the ADC or when CS is brought HIGH. The  
device automatically initiates a new conversion and the  
cycle repeats.  
Converter Operation Cycle  
The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 are low power, delta-sigma  
analog-to-digital converters with an easy to use 3-wire  
serial interface (see Figure 1). Their operation is made  
up of three states. The converter operating cycle begins  
with the conversion, followed by the sleep state and ends  
with the data output (see Figure 2). The 3-wire interface  
consists of serial data output (SDO), serial clock (SCK)  
and chip select (CS).  
Through timing control of the CS and SCK pins, the  
LTC2415/LTC2415-1 offer several flexible modes of  
operation (internal or external SCK and free-running  
conversion modes). These various modes do not require  
programming configuration registers; moreover, they do  
not disturb the cyclic operation described above. These  
modes of operation are described in detail in the Serial  
Interface Timing Modes section.  
CONVERT  
SLEEP  
Conversion Clock  
A major advantage the delta-sigma converter offers over  
conventional type converters is an on-chip digital filter  
(commonly implemented as a Sinc or Comb filter). For  
high resolution, low frequency applications, this filter is  
typicallydesignedtorejectlinefrequenciesof50Hzor60Hz  
plus their harmonics. The filter rejection performance is  
directly related to the accuracy of the converter system  
clock. The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 incorporate a highly  
accurate on-chip oscillator. This eliminates the need for  
external frequency setting components such as crystals  
or oscillators. Clocked by the on-chip oscillator, the  
LTC2415 achieves a minimum of 110dB rejection at the  
line frequency (50Hz or 60Hz 2ꢀ), while the LTC2415-1  
achieves a minimum of 87db rejection at 50Hz 2ꢀ and  
60Hz 2ꢀ simultaneously.

Figure 2. LTC2415 State Transition Diagram  
Initially, the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 perform a conversion.  
Once the conversion is complete, the device enters the  
sleep state. While in this sleep state, power consumption  
is reduced by an order of magnitude if CS is HIGH. The  
part remains in the sleep state as long as CS is HIGH.  
The conversion result is held indefinitely in a static shift  
register while the converter is in the sleep state.  
Ease of Use  
The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 data output has no latency,  
filter settling delay or redundant data associated with the  
conversion cycle. There is a one-to-one correspondence  
between the conversion and the output data. Therefore,  
multiplexing multiple analog voltages is easy.  
Once CS is pulled LOW, the device begins outputting the  
conversion result. There is no latency in the conversion  
result. The data output corresponds to the conversion  
just performed. This result is shifted out on the serial data  
out pin (SDO) under the control of the serial clock (SCK).

are the conversion result, MSB first. The remaining 5 bits  
are sub LSBs beyond the 24-bit level that may be included  
in averaging or discarded without loss of resolution. The  
third and fourth bit together are also used to indicate an  
underrange condition (the differential input voltage is  
below –FS) or an overrange condition (the differential  
input voltage is above +FS).  
SDO remains high impedance and any externally gener-  
ated SCK clock pulses are ignored by the internal data  
out shift register.  
In order to shift the conversion result out of the device,  
CS must first be driven LOW. EOC is seen at the SDO pin  
of the device once CS is pulled LOW. EOC changes real  
time from HIGH to LOW at the completion of a conversion.  
This signal may be used as an interrupt for an external  
microcontroller. Bit 31 (EOC) can be captured on the first  
rising edge of SCK. Bit 30 is shifted out of the device on  
the first falling edge of SCK. The final data bit (Bit 0) is  
shifted out on the falling edge of the 31st SCK and may  
be latched on the rising edge of the 32nd SCK pulse. On  
the falling edge of the 32nd SCK pulse, SDO goes HIGH  
indicating the initiation of a new conversion cycle. This  
bit serves as EOC (Bit 31) for the next conversion cycle.  
Table 2 summarizes the output data format.  
Bit 31 (first output bit) is the end of conversion (EOC)  
indicator. This bit is available at the SDO pin during the  
conversion and sleep states whenever the CS pin is LOW.  
This bit is HIGH during the conversion and goes LOW  
when the conversion is complete.  
Bit 30 (second output bit) is a dummy bit (DMY) and is  
always LOW.  
Bit 29 (third output bit) is the conversion result sign  
indicator (SIG). If V is >0, this bit is HIGH. If V is <0,

Bit 28 (fourth output bit) is the most significant bit  
(MSB) of the result. This bit in conjunction with Bit 29  
also provides the underrange or overrange indication.  
If both Bit 29 and Bit 28 are HIGH, the differential input  
voltage is above +FS. If both Bit 29 and Bit 28 are LOW,  
the differential input voltage is below –FS.

The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 transmit the conversion results  
and receive the start of conversion command through  
a synchronous 3-wire interface. During the conversion

converter status and during the data output state it is used  
to read the conversion result.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Serial Clock Input/Output (SCK)  
Chip Select Input (CS)  
The serial clock signal present on SCK (Pin 13) is used to  
synchronize the data transfer. Each bit of data is shifted  
out the SDO pin on the falling edge of the serial clock.  
The active LOW chip select, CS (Pin 11), is used to test the  
conversion status and to enable the data output transfer  
as described in the previous sections.  
In the Internal SCK mode of operation, the SCK pin is  
an output and the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 create their own  
serial clock by dividing the internal conversion clock by  
8. In the External SCK mode of operation, the SCK pin  
is used as input. The internal or external SCK mode is  
selected on power-up and then reselected every time a  
HIGH-to-LOW transition is detected at the CS pin. If SCK  
is HIGH or floating at power-up or during this transition,  
the converter enters the internal SCK mode. If SCK is LOW  
at power-up or during this transition, the converter enters  
the external SCK mode.  
In addition, the CS signal can be used to trigger a new  
conversion cycle before the entire serial data transfer has  
been completed. The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 will abort any  
serial data transfer in progress and start a new conver-  
sion cycle anytime a LOW-to-HIGH transition is detected  
at the CS pin after the converter has entered the data  
output state (i.e., after the first rising edge of SCK occurs  
with CS = LOW).  
Finally, CS can be used to control the free-running modes  
of operation, see Serial Interface Timing Modes section.  
GroundingCSwillforcetheADCtocontinuouslyconvertat  
the maximum output rate selected by F . Tying a capacitor  
O
Serial Data Output (SDO)  
to CS will reduce the output rate and power dissipation by  
a factor proportional to the capacitor’s value, see Figures  
15 to 17.  
The serial data output pin, SDO (Pin 12), provides the  
result of the last conversion as a serial bit stream (MSB  
first) during the data output state. In addition, the SDO  
pin is used as an end of conversion indicator during the  
conversion and sleep states.  
SERIAL INTERFACE TIMING MODES  
The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 3-wire interface is SPI and  
MICROWIRE compatible. This interface offers several  
flexiblemodesofoperation.Theseincludeinternal/external  
serial clock, 2- or 3-wire I/O, single cycle conversion and  
auto-start. The following sections describe each of these  
serial interface timing modes in detail. In all these cases,  
When CS (Pin 11) is HIGH, the SDO driver is switched  
to a high impedance state. This allows sharing the serial  
interface with other devices. If CS is LOW during the  
convert or sleep state, SDO will output EOC. If CS is LOW  
duringtheconversionphase, theEOCbitappearsHIGHon  
the SDO pin. Once the conversion is complete, EOC goes  
LOW. The device remains in the sleep state until the first  
rising edge of SCK occurs while CS = LOW.  
the converter can use the internal oscillator (F = LOW  
O
or F = HIGH) or an external oscillator connected to the  
O
F pin. Refer to Table 4 for a summary.

the 32nd rising edge of SCK. On the 32nd falling edge of  
SCK, the device begins a new conversion. SDO goes HIGH  
(EOC = 1) indicating a conversion is in progress.  
This timing mode uses an external serial clock to shift  
out the conversion result and a CS signal to monitor and  
control the state of the conversion cycle, see Figure 8.  
At the conclusion of the data cycle, CS may remain LOW  
and EOC monitored as an end-of-conversion interrupt.  
Alternatively, CS may be driven HIGH setting SDO to Hi-Z.  
As described above, CS may be pulled LOW at any time  
in order to monitor the conversion status.  
The serial clock mode is selected on the falling edge of  
CS. To select the external serial clock mode, the serial  
clock pin (SCK) must be LOW during each CS falling edge.  
Typically, CS remains LOW during the data output state.  
However, the data output state may be aborted by pull-  
ing CS HIGH anytime between the first rising edge and  
the 32nd falling edge of SCK, see Figure 9. On the rising  
edge of CS, the device aborts the data output state and  
immediately initiates a new conversion. This is useful for  
systems not requiring all 32 bits of output data, aborting  
an invalid conversion cycle or synchronizing the start of  
a conversion.  
The serial data output pin (SDO) is Hi-Z as long as CS  
is HIGH. At any time during the conversion cycle, CS  
may be pulled LOW in order to monitor the state of the  
converter. While CS is pulled LOW, EOC is output to the  
SDO pin. EOC = 1 while a conversion is in progress and  
EOC = 0 if the device is in the sleep state. Independent of  
CS, the device automatically enters the sleep state once  
the conversion is complete. While in the sleep state, if CS  
is high, the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 power consumption is  
reduced by an order of magnitude  
External Serial Clock, 2-Wire I/O  
When the device is in the sleep state (EOC = 0), its con-  
version result is held in an internal static shift register.  
The device remains in the sleep state until the first rising  
edge of SCK is seen while CS is LOW. Data is shifted out  
the SDO pin on each falling edge of SCK. This enables  
external circuitry to latch the output on the rising edge of  
SCK. EOC can be latched on the first rising edge of SCK  
and the last bit of the conversion result can be latched on  
This timing mode utilizes a 2-wire serial I/O interface.  
The conversion result is shifted out of the device by an  
externally generated serial clock (SCK) signal, see Figure  
10. CS may be permanently tied to ground, simplifying  
the user interface or isolation barrier.  
The external serial clock mode is selected at the end of the  
power-on reset (POR) cycle. The POR cycle is concluded

In order to select the internal serial clock timing mode,  
the serial clock pin (SCK) must be floating (Hi-Z) or pulled  
HIGH prior to the falling edge of CS. The device will not  
enter the internal serial clock mode if SCK is driven LOW  
on the falling edge of CS. An internal weak pull-up resis-  
tor is active on the SCK pin during the falling edge of CS;  
therefore,theinternalserialclocktimingmodeisautomati-

CC  
applied to SCK at this time determines if SCK is internal  
or external. SCK must be driven LOW prior to the end of  
PORinordertoentertheexternalserialclocktimingmode.  
Since CS is tied LOW, the end-of-conversion (EOC) can be  
continuously monitored at the SDO pin during the convert  
and sleep states. EOC may be used as an interrupt to an  
externalcontrollerindicatingtheconversionresultisready.  
EOC = 1 while the conversion is in progress and EOC = 0  
once the conversion enters the sleep state. On the falling  
edgeofEOC,theconversionresultisloadedintoaninternal  
static shift register. The device remains in the sleep state  
until the first rising edge of SCK. Data is shifted out the  
SDO pin on each falling edge of SCK enabling external  
circuitry to latch data on the rising edge of SCK. EOC can  
be latched on the first rising edge of SCK. On the 32nd  
falling edge of SCK, SDO goes HIGH (EOC = 1) indicating  
a new conversion has begun.  
The serial data output pin (SDO) is Hi-Z as long as CS is  
HIGH. At any time during the conversion cycle, CS may be  
pulled LOW in order to monitor the state of the converter.  
Once CS is pulled LOW, SCK goes LOW and EOC is output  
to the SDO pin. EOC = 1 while a conversion is in progress  
and EOC = 0 if the device is in the sleep state.  
When testing EOC, if the conversion is complete (EOC =  
0), the device will exit the sleep state and enter the data  
output state if CS remains LOW. In order to prevent the  
device from exiting the sleep state, CS must be pulled  
HIGH before the first rising edge of SCK. In the internal

edge of SCK will occur and the conversion result is serially  
shifted out of the SDO pin. The data output cycle begins  
on this first rising edge of SCK and concludes after the  
32nd rising edge. Data is shifted out the SDO pin on each  
falling edge of SCK. The internally generated serial clock  
is output to the SCK pin. This signal may be used to shift  
the conversion result into external circuitry. EOC can be  
latched on the first rising edge of SCK and the last bit of  
the conversion result on the 32nd rising edge of SCK.  
After the 32nd rising edge, SDO goes HIGH (EOC = 1),  
SCK stays HIGH and a new conversion starts.  
Whenever SCK is LOW, the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 internal  
pull-up at pin SCK is disabled. Normally, SCK is not exter-  
nallydrivenifthedeviceisintheinternalSCKtimingmode.  
However,certainapplicationsmayrequireanexternaldriver

signal, the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 internal pull-up remains  
disabled. Hence, SCK remains LOW. On the next falling  
edge of CS, the device is switched to the external SCK  
timing mode. By adding an external 10k pull-up resistor  
to SCK, this pin goes HIGH once the external driver goes  
Hi-Z. On the next CS falling edge, the device will remain  
in the internal SCK timing mode.  
Typically, CS remains LOW during the data output state.

CS is pulsed HIGH-LOW-HIGH in order to test the conver-  
sion status. If the device is in the sleep state (EOC = 0),  
SCK will go LOW. Once CS goes HIGH (within the time  
weak pull-up is active during the POR cycle; therefore, the  
internal serial clock timing mode is automatically selected  
if SCK is not externally driven LOW (if SCK is loaded such  
that the internal pull-up cannot pull the pin HIGH, the  
external SCK mode will be selected).  
period defined above as t  
), the internal pull-up is  
EOCtest  
activated. For a heavy capacitive load on the SCK pin,  
the internal pull-up may not be adequate to return SCK  
to a HIGH level before CS goes low again. This is not a  
concern under normal conditions where CS remains LOW  
after detecting EOC = 0. This situation is easily overcome  
by adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to the SCK pin.  
During the conversion, the SCK and the serial data output  
pin (SDO) are HIGH (EOC = 1). Once the conversion is  
complete, SCK and SDO go LOW (EOC = 0) indicating the  
conversion has finished and the device has entered the  
low power sleep state. The part remains in the sleep state  
a minimum amount of time (1/2 the internal SCK period)  
then immediately begins outputting data. The data output  
cycle begins on the first rising edge of SCK and ends after  
the 32nd rising edge. Data is shifted out the SDO pin on  
each falling edge of SCK. The internally generated serial  
clock is output to the SCK pin. This signal may be used to  
shift the conversion result into external circuitry. EOC can  
be latched on the first rising edge of SCK and the last bit  
of the conversion result can be latched on the 32nd rising  
edge of SCK. After the 32nd rising edge, SDO goes HIGH  
(EOC = 1) indicating a new conversion is in progress. SCK  
remains HIGH during the conversion.  
Internal Serial Clock, 2-Wire I/O,

This timing mode uses a 2-wire, all output (SCK and SDO)  
interface. Theconversionresultisshiftedoutofthedevice  
by an internally generated serial clock (SCK) signal, see  
Figure 13. CS may be permanently tied to ground, sim-  
plifying the user interface or isolation barrier.

power-on reset (POR) cycle. The POR cycle is concluded

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Internal Serial Clock, Auto-start Conversion  
conversion is immediately started. This is useful in appli-  
cations requiring periodic monitoring and ultralow power.  
Figure 17 shows the average supply current as a function  
of capacitance on CS.  
This timing mode is identical to the internal serial clock,  
2-wire I/O described above with one additional feature.  
Instead of grounding CS, an external timing capacitor is  
tied to CS.  
It should be noticed that the external capacitor discharge  
current is kept very small in order to decrease the con-  
verterpowerdissipationinthesleepstate.Intheauto-start  
mode,theanalogvoltageontheCSpincannotbeobserved  
without disturbing the converter operation using a regular  
oscilloscope probe. When using this configuration, it is  
important to minimize the external leakage current at  
the CS pin by using a low leakage external capacitor and  
properly cleaning the PCB surface.  
While the conversion is in progress, the CS pin is held  
HIGH by an internal weak pull-up. Once the conversion is  
complete, the device enters the low power sleep state and  
an internal 25nA current source begins discharging the  
capacitor tied to CS, see Figure 14. The time the converter  
spends in the sleep state is determined by the value of the  
external timing capacitor, see Figures 15 and 16. Once the  
voltage at CS falls below an internal threshold (≈1.4V),  
the device automatically begins outputting data. The data  
output cycle begins on the first rising edge of SCK and  
ends on the 32nd rising edge. Data is shifted out the SDO  
pin on each falling edge of SCK. The internally generated  
serial clock is output to the SCK pin. This signal may be  
used to shift the conversion result into external circuitry.  
After the 32nd rising edge, CS is pulled HIGH and a new  
The internal serial clock mode is selected every time the  
voltageontheCSpincrossesaninternalthresholdvoltage.  
An internal weak pull-up at the SCK pin is active while CS  
is discharging; therefore, the internal serial clock timing  
mode is automatically selected if SCK is floating. It is  
important to ensure there are no external drivers pulling  
SCK LOW while CS is discharging.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
LTC2415-1 pins may severely disturb the analog to digital  
conversionprocess.Undershootandovershootcanoccur  
because of the impedance mismatch at the converter pin  
when the transition time of an external control signal is  
less than twice the propagation delay from the driver to  
LTC2415/LTC2415-1. For reference, on a regular FR-4  
board,signalpropagationvelocityisapproximately183ps/  
inch for internal traces and 170ps/inch for surface traces.  
Thus, a driver generating a control signal with a minimum  
transition time of 1ns must be connected to the converter  
pin through a trace shorter than 2.5 inches. This problem  
becomesparticularlydifficultwhensharedcontrollinesare  
used and multiple reflections may occur. The solution is  
to carefully terminate all transmission lines close to their  
characteristic impedance.

O
near the converter, substantial AC current is flowing in the  
loop formed by the F connection trace, the termination  
O
and the ground return path. Thus, perturbation signals  
may be inductively coupled into the converter input and/  
or reference. In this situation, the user must reduce to a  
minimum the loop area for the F signal as well as the loop  
O
area for the differential input and reference connections.  
Driving the Input and Reference  
The input and reference pins of the LTC2415/LTC2415-1  
converters are directly connected to a network of sam-  
pling capacitors. Depending upon the relation between  
the differential input voltage and the differential refer-  
ence voltage, these capacitors are switching between  
these four pins transferring small amounts of charge in  
the process. A simplified equivalent circuit is shown in  
Figure 18.  
ParallelterminationneartheLTC2415/LTC2415-1pinswill  
eliminate this problem but will increase the driver power  
dissipation.Aseriesresistorbetween27Ωand56Ωplaced  
near the driver or near the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 pins will  
also eliminate this problem without additional power dis-  
sipation. The actual resistor value depends upon the trace  
impedance and connection topology.

An alternate solution is to reduce the edge rate of the  
control signals. It should be noted that using very slow  
edges will increase the converter power supply current

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Sample Driver for LTC2415/LTC2415-1 SPI Interface  
The code begins by declaring variables and allocating four  
memory locations to store the 32-bit conversion result.  
ThisisfollowedbyinitializingPORTDsSPIconfiguration.  
The program then enters the main sequence. It activates  
the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 serial interface by setting the  
SS output low, sending a logic low to CS. It next waits in  
a loop for a logic low on the data line, signifying end-of-  
conversion. After the loop is satisfied, four SPI transfers  
are completed, retrieving the conversion. The main se-  
quence ends by setting SS high. This places the LTC2415/  
LTC2415-1 serial interface in a high impedance state and  
initiates another conversion.  
Figure 35 shows the use of an LTC2415/LTC2415-1 with a  
differential multiplexer. This is an inexpensive multiplexer  
thatwillcontributesomeerrorduetoleakageifuseddirectly  
with the output from the bridge, or if resistors are inserted  
asaprotectionmechanismfromovervoltage.Althoughthe  
bridge output may be within the input range of the A/D and  
multiplexer in normal operation, some thought should be  
given to fault conditions that could result in full excitation  
voltage at the inputs to the multiplexer or ADC. The use of  
amplification prior to the multiplexer will largely eliminate  
errors associated with channel leakage developing error  
voltages in the source impedance.  
TheperformanceoftheLTC2415/LTC2415-1canbeverified  
using the demonstration board DC291A, see Figure 40 for  
the schematic. This circuit uses the computer’s serial port  
to generate power and the SPI digital signals necessary  
forstartingaconversionandreadingtheresult. Itincludes  
a Labview application software program (see Figure 39)  
which graphically captures the conversion results. It can  
be used to determine noise performance, stability and  
with an external source, linearity. As exemplified in the  
schematic, the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 are extremely easy  
touse. Thisdemonstrationboardandassociatedsoftware  
is available by contacting Linear Technology.  
The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 have a very simple serial in-  
terface that makes interfacing to microprocessors and  
microcontrollers very easy.  
The listing in Figure 38 is a simple assembler routine for  
the 68HC11 microcontroller. It uses PORT D, configur-  
ing it for SPI data transfer between the controller and the  
LTC2415/LTC2415-1. Figure 36 shows the simple 3-wire  
SPI connection.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Correlated Double Sampling with the  
LTC2415/LTC2415-1  
above 10MHz. The conversion spikes that remain at the  
outputofotherbipolaramplifierspassthroughthefeedback  
network and often overdrive the input of the amplifier,  
producing envelope detection. RFI may also be present  
on the signal lines from the bridge; C3 and C4 provide RFI  
suppression at the signal input, as well as suppressing  
transient voltages during bridge commutation.  
Figure 37 shows the LTC2415/LTC2415-1 in a correlated  
double sampling circuit that achieves a noise floor of  
under 100nV. In this scheme, the polarity of the bridge is  
alternated every other sample and the result is the average  
of a pair of samples of opposite sign. This technique has  
the benefit of canceling any fixed DC error components  
in the bridge, amplifiers and the converter, as these will  
alternate in polarity relative to the signal. Offset voltages  
and currents, thermocouple voltages at junctions of dis-  
similar metals and the lower frequency components of 1/f  
noise are virtually eliminated.  
The wideband noise density of the LT1219 is 33nV√Hz,  
seemingly much noisier than the lowest noise amplifiers.  
However, in the region just below the 1/f corner that is  
not well suppressed by the correlated double sampling,  
the average noise density is similar to the noise density  
of many low noise amplifiers. If the amplifier is rolled off  
below about 1500Hz, the total noise bandwidth is deter-  
The LTC2415/LTC2415-1 have the virtue of being able to  
digitize an input voltage that is outside the range defined  
by the reference, thereby providing a simple means to  
implement a ratiometric example of correlated double  
sampling.

mined by the converter’s Sinc filter at about 12Hz. The  
useofcorrelateddoublesamplinginvolvesaveragingeven  
numbersofsamples;hence, inthissituation, twosamples  
would be averaged to give an input-referred noise level of  
about 100nV  
.
RMS  
This circuit uses a bipolar amplifier (LT1219—U1 and  
U2) that has neither the lowest noise nor the highest gain.  
It does, however, have an output stage that can effec-  
tively suppress the conversion spikes from the LTC2415/  
LTC2415-1. The LT1219 is a C-LoadTM stable amplifier  
that, by design, needs at least 0.1µF output capacitance to  
remainstable.The0.1µFceramiccapacitorsattheoutputs  
(C1 and C2) should be placed and routed to minimize lead  
inductance or their effectiveness in preventing envelope  
detection in the input stage will be reduced. Alternatively,  
several smaller capacitors could be placed so that lead  
inductance is further reduced. This is a consideration  
because the frequency content of the conversion spikes  
extendsto50MHzormore. Theoutputimpedanceofmost  
op amps increases dramatically with frequency but the  
effective output impedance of the LT1219 remains low,  
determined by the ESR and inductance of the capacitors  
Level shift transistors Q4 and Q5 are included to allow  
excitation voltages up to the maximum recommended  
for the bridge. In the case shown, if a 10V supply is  
used, the excitation voltage to the bridge is 8.5V and  
the outputs of the bridge are above the supply rail of the  
ADC. U1 and U2 are also used to produce a level shift to  
bring the outputs within the input range of the converter.  
This instrumentation amplifier topology does not require  
well-matched resistors in order to produce good CMRR.  
However, the use of R2 requires that R3 and R6 match  
well, as the common mode gain is approximately –12dB.  
If the bridge is composed of four equal 350Ω resistors,  
thedifferentialcomponentassociatedwithmismatchofR3  
and R6 is nearly constant with either polarity of excitation  
and, as with offset, its contribution is canceled.
