LTC1605 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Conversion Details the end of a conversion, the DAC output balances the VIN The LTC1605 uses a successive approximation algo- input charge. The SAR contents (a 16-bit data word) that rithm and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert represents the VIN are loaded into the 16-bit output latches. an analog signal to a 16-bit or two byte parallel output. Driving the Analog Inputs The ADC is complete with a precision reference and an internal clock. The control logic provides easy interface The nominal input range for the LTC1605 is ±10V to microprocessors and DSPs. (Please refer to the Digital or (±4 • VREF) and the input is overvoltage protected to Interface section for the data format.) ±25V. The input impedance is typically 20kΩ, therefore, it should be driven with a low impedance source. Wideband Conversion start is controlled by the CS and R/C inputs. noise coupling into the input can be minimized by placing At the start of conversion the successive approximation a 1000pF capacitor at the input as shown in Figure 2. An register (SAR) is reset. Once a conversion cycle has begun NPO-type capacitor gives the lowest distortion. Place the it cannot be restarted. capacitor as close to the device input pin as possible. If During the conversion, the internal 16-bit capacitive DAC an amplifier is to be used to drive the input, care should output is sequenced by the SAR from the most significant be taken to select an amplifier with adequate accuracy, bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). Referring to linearity and noise for the application. The following list Figure 1, VIN is connected through the resistor divider to the is a summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving sample-and-hold capacitor during the acquire phase and the LTC1605.

In this acquire phase, a minimum delay of 2µs will provide enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitor to acquire 200Ω AIN VIN the analog signal. During the convert phase, the autozero 1000pF 33.2k switches open, putting the comparator into the compare CAP mode.
