LTC1860L with Rail-to-Rail Input SpanLTC1861L OPERATION given channel selection, the converter will measure the voltage between the two channels indicated by the “+” Operating Sequence and “–” signs in the selected row of Table 1. In single-ended The LTC1861L conversion cycle begins with the rising mode, all input channels are measured with respect to edge of CONV. After a period equal to t GND (or AGND). A zero code will occur when the “+” CONV, the conver- sion is finished. If CONV is left high after this time, the input minus the “–” input equals zero. Full scale occurs LTC1861L goes into sleep mode. The LTC1861L’s 2-bit when the “+” input minus the “–” input equals VREF minus data word is clocked into the SDI input on the rising edge 1LSB. See Figure 5. Both the “+” and “–” inputs are of SCK after CONV goes low. Additional inputs on the SDI sampled at the same time so common mode noise is pin are then ignored until the next CONV cycle. The shift rejected. The input span in the SO-8 package is fixed at clock (SCK) synchronizes the data transfer with each bit VREF = VCC. If the “–” input in differential mode is being transmitted on the falling SCK edge and captured on grounded, a rail-to-rail input span will result on the “+” the rising SCK edge in both transmitting and receiving input. systems. The data is transmitted and received simulta- Reference Input neously (full duplex). After completing the data transfer, if further SCK clocks are applied with CONV low, SDO will The reference input of the LTC1861L SO-8 package is output zeros indefinitely. See Figure 4. internally tied to VCC. The span of the A/D converter is therefore equal to VCC.
