LTC1864L/LTC1865L UUWUAPPLICATIO S I FOR ATIOLTC1864L OPERATIONAnalog Inputs The LTC1864L has a unipolar differential analog input. The Operating Sequence converter will measure the voltage between the “IN+” and The LTC1864L conversion cycle begins with the rising “IN–” inputs. A zero code will occur when IN+ minus IN– edge of CONV. After a period equal to tCONV, the conver- equals zero. Full scale occurs when IN+ minus IN– equals sion is finished. If CONV is left high after this time, the VREF minus 1LSB. See Figure 2. Both the “IN+” and LTC1864L goes into sleep mode drawing only leakage “IN–” inputs are sampled at the same time, so common current. On the falling edge of CONV, the LTC1864L goes mode noise on the inputs is rejected by the ADC. If “IN–” into sample mode and SDO is enabled. SCK synchronizes is grounded and VREF is tied to VCC, a rail-to-rail input span the data transfer with each bit being transmitted from SDO will result on “IN+” as shown in Figure 3. on the falling SCK edge. The receiving system should capture the data from SDO on the rising edge of SCK. After Reference Input completing the data transfer, if further SCK clocks are The voltage on the reference input of the LTC1864L applied with CONV low, SDO will output zeros indefinitely. defines the full-scale range of the A/D converter.
