DescripTion  
FeaTures  
The LTC®2435/LTC2435-1 are 2.7V to 5.5V micropower  
20-bit differential ∆∑ analog to digital converters with  
integrated oscillator, 3ppm INL and 0.8ppm RMS noise.  
They use delta-sigma technology and provide single  
cycle settling time for multiplexed applications. Through  
a single pin, the LTC2435 can be configured for better  
than 110dB input differential mode rejection at 50Hz or  
60Hz 2%, or it can be driven by an external oscillator  
for a user defined rejection frequency. The LTC2435-1  
can be configured for better than 87dB input differential  
mode rejection over the range of 49Hz to 61.2Hz (50Hz  
and 60Hz 2% simultaneously). The internal oscillator  
requires no external frequency setting components.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings  
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute  
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to GND.  
Note 3: VCC = 2.7 to 5.5V unless otherwise specified.  
Note 8: FO = VCC (internal oscillator) or fEOSC = 128000Hz 2%  
(external oscillator).  
Note 9: The converter is in external SCK mode of operation such that  
the SCK pin is used as digital input. The frequency of the clock signal  
driving SCK during the data output is fESCK and is expressed in kHz.  
Note 10: The converter is in internal SCK mode of operation such that  
the SCK pin is used as digital output. In this mode of operation the  
SCK pin has a total equivalent load capacitance CLOAD = 20pF.  
Note 11: The external oscillator is connected to the FO pin. The external  
oscillator frequency, fEOSC, is expressed in kHz.  
Note 12: The converter uses the internal oscillator.

CONVERTER OPERATION  
Thereisnolatencyintheconversionresult.Thedataoutput  
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). 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 24 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 LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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  
LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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.

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 LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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  
LTC2435 achieves a minimum of 110dB rejection at the  
line frequency (50Hz or 60Hz 2%), while the LTC2435-1  
achieves a minimum of 87db rejection at 50Hz 2% and  
60Hz 2% simultaneously.

DATA OUTPUT  
2435 F02  
Figure 2. LTC2435 State Transition Diagram  
Initially, the LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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.  
Once CS is pulled LOW, the device exits the low power  
sleepmodeandentersthedataoutputstate. IfCSispulled  
HIGHbeforethefirstrisingedgeofSCK,thedevicereturns  
to the sleep mode and the conversion result is still held in  
the internal static shift register. If CS remains LOW after  
the first rising edge of SCK, the device begins outputting  
the conversion result. Taking CS HIGH at this point will  
terminatethedataoutputstateandstartanewconversion.  
Ease of Use  
The LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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.

Output Data Format  
ated SCK clock pulses are ignored by the internal data  
out shift register.  
The LTC2435/LTC2435-1 serial output data stream is 24  
bits long. The first 3 bits represent status information  
indicating the sign and conversion state. The next 21  
bits are the conversion result, MSB first. 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).  
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 23 (EOC) can be captured on the first  
rising edge of SCK. Bit 22 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 23rd SCK and may  
be latched on the rising edge of the 24th SCK pulse. On  
the falling edge of the 24th SCK pulse, SDO goes HIGH  
indicating the initiation of a new conversion cycle. This  
bit serves as EOC (Bit 23) for the next conversion cycle.  
Table 2 summarizes the output data format.  
Bit 23 (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 22 (second output bit) is a dummy bit (DMY) and is  
always LOW.

As long as the voltage on the IN and IN pins is main-  
Bit 21 (third output bit) is the conversion result sign  
indicator (SIG). If V is >0, this bit is HIGH. If V is <0,

corresponding to the +FS. For differential input voltages  
below –FS, the conversion result is clamped to the value  
corresponding to –FS – 1LSB.  
Offset Accuracy and Drift  
The function of these bits is summarized in Table 1.  
Unlike the LTC2430 and most of the LTC2400 family, the  
LTC2435/LTC2435-1 do not perform an offset calibration  
every cycle. The reason for this is to increase the data  
output rate while maintaining line frequency rejection.

most independent with reference and therefore the offset  
in ppm is inverse proportional to reference voltage. As a

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 LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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 LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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.  
Grounding CS will force the ADC to continuously convert  
at the maximum output rate selected by FO.  
Serial Data Output (SDO)  
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 LTC2435/LTC2435-1 3-wire interface is SPI and MI-  
CROWIREcompatible.Thisinterfaceoffersseveralflexible  
modes of operation. These include internal/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, the  
When CS (Pin 11) is HIGH, the SDO driver is switched  
to a high impedance state. This allows sharing the serial  
interfacewithotherdevices.IfCSisLOWduringtheconvert  
or sleep state, SDO will output EOC. If CS is LOW during  
the conversion phase, the EOC bit appears HIGH on the

External Serial Clock, Single Cycle Operation  
(SPI/MICROWIRE Compatible)  
When CS is low, the device enters the data output mode.  
The result is held in the internal static shift register until  
the first SCK rising edge 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 the 24th rising edge of SCK. On the 24th  
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.  
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.  
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 con-  
verter. 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 conversion is over. With CS HIGH, the device  
automatically enters the sleep state once the conversion  
is complete.  
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.

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 24th 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 24 bits of output data, aborting  
an invalid conversion cycle or synchronizing the start of  
a conversion.

External Serial Clock, 2-Wire I/O  
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 is over. On the falling edge of EOC,  
the conversion result is loaded into an internal static shift  
register. 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 24th falling edge of SCK, SDO goes  
HIGH (EOC = 1) indicating a new conversion has begun.  
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  
approximately 1ms after V exceeds 2.2V. The level ap-  
CC  
plied to SCK at this time determines if SCK is internal or  
external. SCK must be driven LOW prior to the end of POR  
in order to enter the external serial clock timing mode.

Internal Serial Clock, Single Cycle Operation  
When testing EOC, if the conversion is complete (EOC =  
0), the device will exit the sleep state and enter the data  
output state. In order to allow the device to return to the  
sleep state, CS must be pulled HIGH before the first ris-  
ing edge of SCK. In the internal SCK timing mode, SCK  
goes HIGH and the device begins outputting data at time  
This timing mode uses an internal serial clock to shift  
out the conversion result and a CS signal to monitor and  
control the state of the conversion cycle, see Figure 11.  
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-  
cally selected if SCK is not externally driven.

Whenever SCK is LOW, the LTC2435/LTC2435-1 internal  
pull-up at pin SCK is disabled. Normally, SCK is not exter-

However,certainapplicationsmayrequireanexternaldriver

signal, the LTC2435/LTC2435-1 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.  
However, the data output state may be aborted by pulling  
CS HIGH anytime between the first and 24th rising edge of

by adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to the SCK pin.

dissipation.Aseriesresistorbetween27Ωand56Ωplaced  
near the driver or near the LTC2435/LTC2435-1 pins will  
also eliminate this problem without additional power dis-  
sipation. The actual resistor value depends upon the trace  
impedance and connection topology.  
Digital Signal Levels  
The LTC2435/LTC2435-1 digital interface is easy to use.  
Its digital inputs (F , CS and SCK in External SCK mode  
O
of operation) accept standard TTL/CMOS logic levels and  
the internal hysteresis receivers can tolerate edge rates  
as slow as 100µs. However, some considerations are  
required to take advantage of the exceptional accuracy  
and low supply current of this converter.  
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  
during the transition time. The multiple ground pins used  
in this package configuration, as well as the differential  
input and reference architecture, reduce substantially the  
converter’s sensitivity to ground currents.  
The digital output signals (SDO and SCK in Internal SCK  
mode of operation) are less of a concern because they are  
not generally active during conversion.  
Particular attention must be given to the connection of  
While a digital input signal is in the range 0.5V to  
the F signal when the LTC2435/LTC2435-1 are used  
O
(V – 0.5V), the CMOS input receiver draws additional  
CC  
with an external conversion clock. This clock is active  
during the conversion time and the normal mode rejec-  
tion provided by the internal digital filter is not very high  
at this frequency. A normal mode signal of this frequency  
at the converter reference terminals may result in DC gain  
and INL errors. A normal mode signal of this frequency  
at the converter input terminals may result in a DC offset  
error. Such perturbations may occur due to asymmetric  
current from the power supply. It should be noted that,  
when any one of the digital input signals (F , CS and SCK  
O
inExternalSCKmodeofoperation)iswithinthisrange,the  
LTC2435/LTC2435-1 power supply current may increase  
even if the signal in question is at a valid logic level. For  
micropower operation, it is recommended to drive all  
digital input signals to full CMOS levels [V < 0.4V and  
IL  
V
OH  
> (V – 0.4V)].

Duringtheconversionperiod,theundershootand/orover-  
shoot of a fast digital signal connected to the LTC2435/  
LTC2435-1pinsmayseverelydisturbtheanalogtodigital  
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  
LTC2435/LTC2435-1. For reference, on a regular FR-4  
board,signalpropagationvelocityisapproximately183ps/  
inch for internal traces and 170ps/inch for surface traces.  
Thus, a driver generating a controlsignalwitha minimum  
transition time of 1ns must be connected to the converter  
converter input and/or reference connection traces. An  
immediate solution is to maintain maximum possible  
separation between the F signal trace and the input/ref-  
O
erence signals. When the F signal is parallel terminated  
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.

The listing in Figure 43 is a data collection program for the  
LTC2435/LTC2435-1usingthePIC16F73microcontroller.  
The microcontroller is configured to transfer data through  
the SPI serial interface. Figure 42 shows the connection.  
The LT1180A is a dual RS232 driver/receiver pair with  
integral charge pump that generates RS232 voltage levels  
from a single 5V supply.  
(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  
above 10MHz. The conversion spikes that remain at the  
output of other bipolar amplifiers pass through the feed-  
backnetworkandoftenoverdrivetheinputoftheamplifier,  
producingenvelopedetection.RFImayalsobepresenton  
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.  
The program begins by declaring variables and allocating  
memory locations to store the 24-bit conversion result.  
The main sequence starts with pulling CS LOW. It then  
waits for SDO to go LOW to start reading data. Three  
bytes are read to the MCU and the LTC2435/LTC2435-1  
will automatically start a new conversion. CS is also raised  
to HIGH to ensure that a new conversion is started. The  
collecteddataaresentout through theserialportat57600  
baud. This can be captured with a terminal program and  
analyzed with a spreadsheet using the HEX2DEC function.  
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  
determined by the converter’s SINC4 filter at about 12Hz.  
Theuseofcorrelateddoublesamplinginvolvesaveraging  
even numbers of samples; hence, in this situation, two  
sampleswouldbeaveragedtogiveaninput-referrednoise  
Correlated Double Sampling with the  
LTC2435/LTC2435-1  
The Typical Application on the back page of this data  
sheet shows the LTC2435/LTC2435-1 in a correlated  
double sampling circuit that achieves a noise floor of  
under 100nV. In this scheme, the polarity of the bridge is  
alternatedeveryothersampleandtheresultistheaverage  
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.  
level of about 100nVRMS  
.
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,  
the differential component associated with mismatch  
of R3 and R6 is nearly constant with either polarity of  
excitation and, as with offset, its contribution is canceled.  
24351fc  
The LTC2435/LTC2435-1 have the virtue of being able to  
digitizean input voltagethatisoutsidetherangedefinedby  
the reference, thereby providing a simple means to imple-  
ment a ratiometric example of correlated double sampling.  
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 LTC2435/  
LTC2435-1. The LT1219 is a C-Load™ stable amplifier  
that, bydesign, needsatleast0.1µFoutputcapacitanceto  
remainstable.The0.1µFceramiccapacitorsattheoutputs
