The patented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic input current errors and the shortcomings of on-chip buffering through automatic cancellation of differential input current. This allows large external source impedances and input signals, with rail-torail input range to be directly digitized while maintaining exceptional DC accuracy. The LTC2483 allows a wide common mode input range (0V to VCC) independent of the reference voltage. The reference can be as low as 100mV or can be tied directly to VCC. The noise level is 600nVRMS independent of VREF. This allows direct digitization of low level signals with 16bit accuracy. The LTC2483 includes an on-chip trimmed oscillator, eliminating the need for external crystals or oscillators and provides 87dB rejection of 50Hz and 60Hz line frequency noise. Absolute accuracy and low drift are automatically maintained through continuous, transparent, offset and full-scale calibration.

The voltage on these pins can have any value between GND and VCC as long as the reference positive input, REF+, is more positive than the reference negative input, REF -, by at least 0.1V. SDA (Pin 7): Serial Data Output Line of the I2C Interface. In the transmitter mode (read), the conversion result is output through the SDA pin. It is an open-drain N-channel driver and therefore an external pull-up resistor or current source to VCC is needed. VCC (Pin 2): Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND (Pin 8) with a 1F tantalum capacitor in parallel with 0.1F ceramic capacitor as close to the part as possible. GND (Pin 8): Ground. Connect this pin to a ground plane through a low impedance connection. IN+ (Pin 4), IN - (Pin 5): Differential Analog Input. The voltage on these pins can have any value between GND - 0.3V and VCC + 0.3V. Within these limits the converter bipolar input range (VIN = IN + - IN - ) extends from -0.5 * VREF to 0.5 * VREF. Outside this input range the converter produces unique overrange and underrange output codes. SCL (Pin 6): Serial Clock Pin of the I2C Interface. The LTC2483 can only act as a slave and the SCL pin only accepts external serial clock. Data is shifted out the SDA pin on the falling edges of the SCL clock. CA1 (Pin 9): Chip Address Control Pin. The CA1 pin is configured as a three state (LOW, HIGH, or floating) address control bit for the device I2C address. CA0/F0 (Pin 10): Chip Address Control Pin/External Clock Input Pin. When no transition is detected on the CA0/F0 pin, it is a two state (HIGH or floating) address control bit for the device I2C address. When the pin is driven by an external clock signal with a frequency fEOSC of at least 10kHz, the converter uses this signal as its system clock and the fundamental digital filter rejection null is located at a frequency fEOSC/5120 and sets the chip address CA0 internally to a HIGH. 2483fc LTC2483 functional Block Diagram 2 1 4 5 VCC REF+ IN+ IN- IN- SCL REF+ IN+ I2C 3RD ORDER ADC SERIAL INTERFACE REF - SDA CA1 CA0/F0 6 7 9 10 AUTOCALIBRATION AND CONTROL REF - 3 GND 8 INTERNAL OSCILLATOR 2483 FB 2483fc 10 LTC2483 Applications Information Converter Operation Converter Operation Cycle The LTC2483 is a low power, analog-to-digital converter with an I2C interface. After power-on reset, its operation is made up of three states. The converter operating cycle begins with the conversion, followed by the low power sleep state and ends with the data output (see Figure 1). POWER-ON RESET CONVERSION SLEEP NO ACKNOWLEDGE YES DATA OUTPUT NO STOP OR READ 24 BITS YES 2483 F01 Figure 1. LTC2483 State Transition Diagram Initially, the LTC2483 performs a conversion. Once the conversion is complete, the device enters the sleep state. While in this sleep state, power consumption is reduced by two orders of magnitude. The part remains in the sleep state as long as it is not addressed for a read operation. The conversion result is held indefinitely in a static shift register while the converter is in the sleep state. The device will not acknowledge an external request during the conversion state. After a conversion is finished, the device is ready to accept a read request. Once the LTC2483 is addressed for a read operation, the device begins outputting the conversion result under control of the serial clock (SCL). There is no latency in the conversion result. The data output is 24 bits long and contains a 16-bit plus sign conversion result. This result is shifted out on the SDA pin under the control of the SCL. Data is updated on the falling edges of SCL allowing the user to reliably latch data on the rising edge of SCL. A new conversion is initiated at the conclusion of a data read operation (read out all 24 bits). I2C INTERFACE The LTC2483 communicates through an I2C interface. The I2C interface is a 2-wire open-drain interface supporting multiple devices and masters on a single bus. The connected devices can only pull the bus wires LOW and they never drive the bus HIGH. The bus wires are externally connected to a positive supply voltage via a current-source or pull-up resistor. When the bus is free, both lines are HIGH. Data on the I2C bus can be transferred at rates of up to 100kbit/s in the standard mode and up to 400kbit/s in the fast mode. The VCC power should not be removed from the device when the I2C bus is active to avoid loading the I2C bus lines through the internal ESD protection devices. Each device on the I2C bus is recognized by a unique address stored in that device and can operate as either a transmitter or receiver, depending on the function of the device. In addition to transmitters and receivers, devices can also be considered as masters or slaves when performing data transfers. A master is the device which initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates the clock signals to permit that transfer. At the same time any device addressed is considered a slave. The LTC2483 can only be addressed as a slave. Once addressed, it can transmit the last conversion result. Therefore the serial clock line SCL is an input only and the data line SDA is bidirectional (data out/address in). The device supports the standard mode and the fast mode for data transfer speeds up to 400kbit/s. Figure 2 shows the definition of timing for fast/standard mode devices on the I2C bus. 2483fc 11 LTC2483 Applications Information The START and STOP Conditions Data Transferring A START condition is generated by transitioning SDA from HIGH to LOW while SCL is HIGH. The bus is considered to be busy after the START condition. When the data transfer is finished, a STOP condition is generated by transitioning SDA from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The bus is free again a certain time after the STOP condition. START and STOP conditions are always generated by the master. After the START condition, the I2C bus is busy and data transfer is set between a master and a slave. Data is transferred over I2C in groups of nine bits (one byte) followed by an acknowledge bit, therefore each group takes nine SCL cycles. The transmitter releases the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse and the receiver issues an acknowledge (ACK) by pulling SDA LOW or leaves SDA HIGH to indicate a Not Acknowledge (NACK) condition. Change of data state can only happen while SCL is LOW. When the bus is in use, it stays busy if a repeated START (Sr) is generated instead of a STOP condition. The repeated START (Sr) conditions are functionally identical to the START (S). SDA tf tLOW tSU;DAT tr tr tHD;STA tSP tr tBUF SCL S tHD;STA tHD;DAT tHIGH tSU;STA Sr tSU;STO P S 2483 F02 Figure 2. Definition of Timing for F/S Mode Devices on the I2C Bus 2483fc 12 LTC2483 Applications Information LTC2483 Data Format After a START condition, the master sends a 7-bit address followed by a R/W bit. The bit R/W is 1 for a read request and 0 for a write request. If the 7-bit address agrees with an LTC2483's address, that device is selected. When the device is in the conversion state, it does not accept the request and issues a not-acknowledge (NACK) by leaving SDA HIGH. A write operation will also generate an NACK signal. If the conversion is complete, it issues an acknowledge (ACK) by pulling SDA LOW. The output register contains the last conversion result. After each conversion is completed, the device automatically enters the sleep state where the supply current is reduced to 1A. When the LTC2483 is addressed for a read operation, it acknowledges (by pulling SDA LOW) and acts as a transmitter. The master and receiver can read up to three bytes from the LTC2483. After a complete read operation (3 bytes), the output register is emptied, a new conversion is initiated, and a following read request in the same output phase will be NACKed. The LTC2483 output data stream is 24 bits long, shifted out on the falling edges of SCL. The first bit is the conversion result sign bit (SIG), see Tables 1 and 2. This bit is HIGH if VIN 0. It is LOW if VIN < 0. The second bit is the most significant bit (MSB) of the result. The first two bits (SIG and MSB) can be used to indicate over range conditions. If both bits are HIGH, the differential input voltage is above +FS and the following 16 bits are set to LOW to indicate an overrange condition. If both bits are LOW, the input voltage is below -FS and the following 16 bits are set to HIGH to indicate an underrange condition. The function of these two bits is summarized in Table 1. The next 16 bits contain the conversion results in binary two's complement format. The remaining six bits are LOW. Table 1.

For differential input voltages greater than +FS, the conversion result is clamped to the value corresponding to the +FS + 1 LSB. For differential input voltages below -FS, the conversion result is clamped to the value corresponding to -FS - 1 LSB. Table 2.

Once in the sleep state, the device is ready for a read operation. After the device acknowledges a read request, the device exits the sleep state and enters the data output state. The data output state concludes and the LTC2483 starts a new conversion once a STOP condition is issued by the master or all 24 bits of data are read out of the device. The LTC2483 combines a high precision delta-sigma ADC with an automatic differential input current cancellation front end. A proprietary front-end passive sampling network transparently removes the differential input current. This enables external RC networks and high impedance sensors to directly interface to the LTC2483 without external amplifiers. The remaining common mode input current is eliminated by either balancing the differential input impedances or setting the common mode input equal to the common mode reference (see the Automatic Differential Input Current Cancellation section). This unique architecture does not require on-chip buffers enabling input signals to swing all the way to ground and up to VCC. Furthermore, the cancellation does not interfere with the transparent offset and full-scale auto-calibration and the absolute accuracy (full-scale + offset + linearity) is maintained even with external RC networks. During the data read cycle, a STOP command may be issued by the master controller in order to start a new conversion and abort the data transfer. This STOP command must be issued during the 9th clock cycle of a byte read when the bus is free (the ACK/NACK cycle). LTC2483 Address The LTC2483 has two address pins, enabling one in 6 possible addresses, as shown in Table 3. Conversion Clock Table 3. LTC2483 Address Assignment CA1 CA0/F0 * Address LOW HIGH 001 01 00 LOW Floating 001 01 01 Floating HIGH 001 01 11 Floating Floating 010 01 00 HIGH HIGH 010 01 10 HIGH Floating 010 01 11 * CA0/F0 is treated as HIGH when driven by a valid external clock. Data Read The data read operation sequence is shown in Figure 5. When the conversion is finished, the device may be addressed for a read operation. At the end of a read operation, a new conversion begins. At the conclusion of the conversion cycle, the next result may be read using the method described above. If the conversion cycle is not concluded and a valid address selects the device, the LTC2483 generates a NACK signal indicating the conversion cycle is in progress. 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 typically designed to reject line frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz plus their harmonics. The filter rejection performance is directly related to the accuracy of the converter system clock. The LTC2483 incorporates a highly accurate on-chip oscillator. This eliminates the need for external frequency setting components such as crystals or oscillators. 2483fc 14 LTC2483 Applications Information Frequency Rejection Selection (CA0/F0) automatically detects the presence of an external clock signal at the CA0/F0 pin and turns off the internal oscillator. The chip address for CA0 is internally set HIGH. The frequency fEOSC of the external signal must be at least 10kHz to be detected. The external clock signal duty cycle is not significant as long as the minimum and maximum specifications for the HIGH and LOW periods tHEO and tLEO are observed. The LTC2483 internal oscillator provides better than 87dB normal mode rejection at line frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz and all of their harmonics (up to the 255th) from 48Hz to 62.4Hz. When a fundamental rejection frequency different from 50Hz/60Hz is required or when the converter must be synchronized with an outside source, the LTC2483 can operate with an external conversion clock.

The normal mode rejection as a function of the input frequency deviation from fEOSC/5120 is shown in Figure 6. - 80 NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) - 85 - 90 Ease of Use The LTC2483 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. The LTC2483 performs offset and full-scale calibrations every conversion cycle. This calibration is transparent to the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation described above. The advantage of continuous calibration is extreme stability of offset and full-scale readings with respect to time, supply voltage change and temperature drift. - 95 -100 -105 -110 -115 -120 -125 -130 -135 -140 -12 -8 -4 0 4 8 12 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT SIGNAL FREQUENCY DEVIATION FROM NOTCH FREQUENCY fEOSC /5120(%) 2483 F06 Figure 6. LTC2483 Normal Mode Rejection When Using an External Oscillator Power-Up Sequence The LTC2483 automatically enters an internal reset state when the power supply voltage VCC drops below approximately 2V. This feature guarantees the integrity of the conversion result. Whenever an external clock is not present at the CA0/F0 pin, the converter automatically activates its internal oscillator and enters the internal conversion clock mode. CA0/F0 may be tied HIGH or left floating in order to set the chip address. The LTC2483 operation will not be disturbed if the change of conversion clock source occurs during the sleep state or during the data output state while the converter uses an external serial clock. If the change occurs during the conversion state, the result of the conversion in progress may be outside specifications but the following conversions will not be affected. When the VCC voltage rises above this critical threshold, the converter creates an internal power-on reset (POR) signal with a duration of approximately 4ms. The POR signal clears all internal registers. Following the POR signal, the LTC2483 starts a normal conversion cycle and follows the succession of states described in Figure 1. The first conversion result following POR is accurate within the specifications of the device if the power supply voltage is restored within the operating range (2.7V to 5.5V) before the end of the POR time interval. Table 4 summarizes the duration of the conversion state of each state and the achievable output data rate as a function of fEOSC. Reference Voltage Range The LTC2483 external reference voltage range is 0.1V to VCC. The converter output noise is determined by Table 4.

Since the transition noise (600nV) is much less than the quantization noise (VREF/217), a decrease in the reference voltage will increase the converter resolution. A reduced reference voltage will also improve the converter performance when operated with an external conversion clock (external FO signal) at substantially higher output data rates (see the Output Data Rate section). The reference input is differential. The differential reference input range (VREF = REF+ - REF-) is 100mV to VCC and the common mode reference input range is 0V to VCC. Input signals applied to IN+ and IN- pins may extend by 300mV below ground and above VCC. In order to limit any fault current, resistors of up to 5k may be added in series with the IN+ and IN- pins without affecting the performance of the devices. The effect of the series resistance on the converter accuracy can be evaluated from the curves presented in the Input Current/Reference Current sections. In addition, series resistors will introduce a temperature dependent offset error due to the input leakage current. A 1nA input leakage current will develop a 1ppm offset error on a 5k resistor if VREF = 5V. This error has a very strong temperature dependency. Input Voltage Range Driving the Input and Reference The analog input is truly differential with an absolute/ common mode range for the IN+ and IN- input pins extending from GND - 0.3V to VCC + 0.3V. Outside these limits, the ESD protection devices begin to turn on and the errors due to input leakage current increase rapidly. Within these limits, the LTC2483 converts the bipolar differential input signal, VIN = IN+ - IN-, from - FS to +FS where FS = 0.5 * VREF. Beyond this range, the converter indicates the overrange or the underrange condition using distinct output codes. Since the differential input current cancellation does not rely on an on-chip buffer, current cancellation and DC performance is maintained rail-to-rail. For a simple approximation, the source impedance RS driving an analog input pin (IN+, IN-, REF+ or REF-) can be considered to form, together with RSW and CEQ (see Figure 7), a first order passive network with a time constant = (RS + RSW) * CEQ. The converter is able to sample the IREF+ The input and reference pins of the LTC2483 converter are directly connected to a network of sampling capacitors. Depending upon the relation between the differential input voltage and the differential reference 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 7.

LTC2483 Equivalent Analog Input Circuit 2483fc 17 LTC2483 Applications Information Automatic Differential Input Current Cancellation In applications where the sensor output impedance is low (up to 10k with no external bypass capacitor or up to 500 with 0.001F bypass), complete settling of the input occurs. In this case, no errors are introduced and direct digitization of the sensor is possible. For many applications, the sensor output impedance combined with external bypass capacitors produces RC time constants much greater than the 580ns required for 1ppm accuracy. For example, a 10k bridge driving a 0.1F bypass capacitor has a time constant an order of magnitude greater than the required maximum. Historically, settling issues were solved using buffers. These buffers led to increased noise, reduced DC performance (offset/drift), limited input/output swing (cannot digitize signals near ground or VCC), added system cost and increased power. The LTC2483 uses a proprietary switching algorithm that forces the average differential input current to zero independent of external settling errors. This allows accurate direct digitization of high impedance sensors without the need of buffers (see Figures 8 to 10). Additional errors resulting from mismatched leakage currents must also be taken into account. The switching algorithm forces the average input current on the positive input (IIN+) to be equal to the average input current on the negative input (IIN-). Over the complete conversion cycle, the average differential input current (IIN+ - IIN-) is zero.

Thus, for settling errors of less than 1ppm, the driving source impedance should be chosen such that 8.1s/14 = 580ns. When an external oscillator of frequency fEOSC is used, the sampling period is 2.5/fEOSC and, for a settling error of less than 1ppm, 0.178/fEOSC.

In applications where the input common mode voltage is equal to the reference common mode voltage, as in the case of a balance bridge type application, both the differential and common mode input current are zero. The accuracy of the converter is unaffected by settling errors. Mismatches in source impedances between IN+ and IN- also do not affect the accuracy. In applications where the input common mode voltage is constant but different from the reference common mode voltage, the differential input current remains zero while the common mode input current is proportional to the difference between VINCM and VREFCM. For a reference common mode of 2.5V and an input common mode of 1.5V, the common mode input current is approximately 0.74A. This common mode input current has no effect on the accuracy if the external source impedances tied to IN+ and IN- are matched. Mismatches in these source impedances lead to a fixed offset error but do not affect the linearity or full-scale reading. A 1% mismatch in 1k source resistances leads to a 15ppm shift (74V) in offset voltage. In applications where the common mode input voltage varies as a function of input signal level (single-ended input, RTDs, half bridges, current sensors, etc.), the common mode input current varies proportionally with input voltage. For the case of balanced input impedances, the common mode input current effects are rejected by the large CMRR of the LTC2483 leading to little degradation in accuracy. Mismatches in source impedances lead to gain errors proportional to the difference between the common mode input voltage and the common mode reference voltage. 1% mismatches in 1k source resistances lead to worst-case gain errors on the order of 15ppm or 1 LSB (for 1V differences in reference and input common mode voltage). Table 5 summarizes the effects of mismatched source impedance and differences in reference/input common mode voltages. Table 5.

Can Take Large Source Resistance with Negligible Error Minimize IN+ and IN - Capacitors and Avoid Large Source Impedance (< 5k Recommended) The magnitude of the dynamic input current depends upon the size of the very stable internal sampling capacitors and upon the accuracy of the converter sampling clock. The accuracy of the internal clock over the entire temperature and power supply range is typically better than 0.5%. Such a specification can also be easily achieved by an external clock. When relatively stable resistors (50ppm/C) are used for the external source impedance seen by IN+ and IN -, the expected drift of the dynamic current and offset will be insignificant (about 1% of their respective values over the entire temperature and voltage range). Even for the most stringent applications, a one-time calibration operation may be sufficient. In addition to the input sampling charge, the input ESD protection diodes have a temperature dependent leakage current. This current, nominally 1nA (10nA max), results in a small offset shift. A 1k source resistance will create a 1V typical and 10V maximum offset voltage. Reference Current In a similar fashion, the LTC2483 samples the differential reference pins REF+ and REF- transferring small amount of charge to and from the external driving circuits thus producing a dynamic reference current. This current does not change the converter offset, but it may degrade the gain and INL performance. The effect of this current can be analyzed in two distinct situations. For relatively small values of the external reference capacitors (CREF < 1nF), the voltage on the sampling capacitor settles almost completely and relatively large values for the source impedance result in only small errors. Such values for CREF will deteriorate the converter offset and 2483fc 19 LTC2483 Applications Information gain performance without significant benefits of reference filtering and the user is advised to avoid them. Larger values of reference capacitors (CREF > 1nF) may be required as reference filters in certain configurations. Such capacitors will average the reference sampling charge and the external source resistance will see a quasi constant reference differential impedance. In the following discussion, it is assumed the input and reference common mode are the same.

When CA0/F0 is driven by an external oscillator with a frequency fEOSC (external conversion clock operation), the typical differential reference resistance is 0.30 * 1012/fEOSC and each ohm of source resistance driving the REF+ or REF - pins will result in 1.67 * 10 -6 * fEOSCppm gain error.

The INL is caused by the input dependent terms -VIN2/(VREF * REQ) - (0.5 * VREF * DT)/REQ in the reference pin current as expressed in Figure 7. When using internal oscillator, every 100 of reference source resistance translates into about 0.61ppm additional INL error. When CA0/F0 is driven by an external oscillator with a frequency fEOSC, every 100 of source resistance driving REF+ or REF - translates into about 2.18 * 10-6 * fEOSCppm additional INL error. Figure 15 shows the typical INL error due to the source resistance driving the REF+ or REF - pins when large CREF values are used. The user is advised to minimize the source impedance driving the REF+ and REF - pins. In applications where the reference and input common mode voltages are different, extra errors are introduced. For every 1V of the reference and input common mode voltage difference (VREFCM - VINCM) and a 5V reference, each ohm of reference source resistance introduces an extra (VREFCM - VINCM)/(VREF * REQ) full-scale gain error, which is 0.067ppm when using internal oscillator. If an external clock is used, the corresponding extra gain error is 0.24 * 10-6 * fEOSCppm. The magnitude of the dynamic reference current depends upon the size of the very stable internal sampling capacitors and upon the accuracy of the converter sampling clock. The accuracy of the internal clock over the entire temperature and power supply range is typically better than 0.5%. Such a specification can also be easily achieved by an external clock. When relatively stable resistors (50ppm/C) are used for the external source impedance seen by REF+ and REF -, the expected drift of the dynamic current gain error will be insignificant (about 1% of its value over the entire temperature and voltage range). Even for the most stringent applications a one-time calibration operation may be sufficient. In addition to the reference sampling charge, the reference pins ESD protection diodes have a temperature dependent leakage current. This leakage current, nominally 1nA (10nA max), results in a small gain error. A 100 source resistance will create a 0.05V typical and 0.5V maximum full-scale error.

The actual output data rate will depend upon the length of the sleep and data output phases which are controlled by the user and which can be made insignificantly short. When operated with an external conversion clock (CA0/F0 connected to an external oscillator), the LTC2483 output data rate can be increased as desired. The duration of the conversion phase is 41036/fEOSC. If fEOSC = 307.2kHz, the converter notch is set at 60Hz. An increase in fEOSC over the nominal 307.2kHz will translate into a proportional increase in the maximum 3500 VIN(CM) = VREF(CM) VCC = VREF = 5V VIN = 0V CA0/F0 = EXT CLOCK 40 30 First, a change in fEOSC will result in a proportional change in the internal notch position and in a reduction of the converter differential mode rejection at the power line frequency. In many applications, the subsequent performance degradation can be substantially reduced by relying upon the LTC2483's exceptional common mode rejection and by carefully eliminating common mode to differential mode conversion sources in the input circuit. The user should avoid single-ended input filters and should maintain a very high degree of matching and symmetry in the circuits driving the IN+ and IN- pins. 3000 +FS ERROR (ppm OF VREF) OFFSET ERROR (ppm OF VREF) 50 output data rate.

Resolution (NoiseRMS 1 LSB) vs Output Data Rate and Temperature 2483fc 22 LTC2483 Applications Information Second, the increase in clock frequency will increase proportionally the amount of sampling charge transferred through the input and the reference pins. If large external input and/or reference capacitors (CIN, CREF) are used, the previous section provides formulae for evaluating the effect of the source resistance upon the converter performance for any value of fEOSC. If small external input and/or reference capacitors (CIN, CREF) are used, the effect of the external source resistance upon the LTC2483 typical performance can be inferred from Figures 9, 10, 11 and 12 in which the horizontal axis is scaled by 307200/fEOSC. Third, an increase in the frequency of the external oscillator above 1MHz (a more than 3+ increase in the output data rate) will start to decrease the effectiveness of the internal autocalibration circuits. This will result in a progressive degradation in the converter accuracy and linearity. Typical measured performance curves for output data rates up to 100 readings per second are shown in Figures 16 to 23. In order to obtain the highest possible level of accuracy from this converter at output data rates above 20 readings per second, the user is advised to maximize the power supply voltage used and to limit the maximum ambient operating temperature. In certain circumstances, a reduction of the differential reference voltage may be beneficial. 20 RESOLUTION (BITS) 20 18 16 TA = 85C TA = 25C 14 VIN(CM) = VREF(CM) 12 VCC = VREF = 5V CA0/F0 = EXT CLOCK RES = LOG 2 (VREF/INLMAX) 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 OUTPUT DATA RATE (READINGS/SEC) OFFSET ERROR (ppm OF VREF) 22 VIN(CM) = VREF(CM) VIN = 0V 15 CA0/F0 = EXT CLOCK TA = 25C 10 5 VCC = VREF = 5V 0 -5 -10 VCC = 5V, VREF = 2.5V 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 OUTPUT DATA RATE (READINGS/SEC) 2483 F20 2483 F21 Figure 20.

Resolution (INLMAX 1 LSB) vs Output Data Rate and Reference Voltage 2483fc 23 LTC2483 Applications Information Input Bandwidth The combined effect of the internal SINC4 digital filter and of the analog and digital autocalibration circuits determines the LTC2483 input bandwidth. When the internal oscillator is used, the 3dB input bandwidth is 3.3Hz. If an external conversion clock generator of frequency fEOSC is connected to the CA0/F0 pin, the 3dB input bandwidth is 11.8 * 10-6 * fEOSC. Due to the complex filtering and calibration algorithms utilized, the converter input bandwidth is not modeled very accurately by a first order filter with the pole located at the 3dB frequency. When the internal oscillator is used, the shape of the LTC2483 input bandwidth is shown in Figure 24. When an external oscillator of frequency fEOSC is used, the shape of the LTC2483 input bandwidth can be derived from Figure 24, in which the horizontal axis is scaled by fEOSC/279.2kHz. The conversion noise (600nVRMS typical for VREF = 5V) can be modeled by a white noise source connected to a noise free converter. The noise spectral density is 47nVHz for an infinite bandwidth source and 64nVHz for a single 0.5MHz pole source. From these numbers, it is clear that particular attention must be given to the design of external amplification circuits. Such circuits face the simultaneous requirements of very low bandwidth (just a few Hz) in order to reduce the output referred noise and relatively high bandwidth (at least 500kHz) necessary to drive the input switched-capacitor network. A possible solution is a high gain, low bandwidth amplifier stage followed by a high bandwidth unity-gain buffer. When external amplifiers are driving the LTC2483, the ADC input referred system noise calculation can be simplified by Figure 25. The noise of an amplifier driving the LTC2483 input pin can be modeled as a band limited white noise source. Its bandwidth can be approximated by the bandwidth of a single pole lowpass filter with a corner frequency fi. The amplifier noise spectral density is ni. From Figure 25, using fi as the x-axis selector, we can find on the y-axis the noise equivalent bandwidth freqi of the input driving amplifier. This bandwidth includes the band limiting effects of the ADC internal calibration and filtering. The noise of the driving amplifier referred to the converter input and including all these effects can be calculated as N = ni * freqi. The total system noise (referred to the LTC2483 input) can now be obtained by summing as square root of sum of squares the three ADC input referred noise sources: the LTC2483 internal noise, the noise of the IN+ driving amplifier and the noise of the IN - driving amplifier. If the CA0/F0 pin is driven by an external oscillator of frequency fEOSC, Figure 25 can still be used for noise calculation if the x-axis is scaled by fEOSC/307200. For large values of the ratio fEOSC/307200, the Figure 25 plot accuracy begins to decrease, but at the same time the LTC2483 noise floor rises and the noise contribution of the driving amplifiers lose significance. Normal Mode Rejection and Antialiasing One of the advantages delta-sigma ADCs offer over conventional ADCs is on-chip digital filtering. Combined with a large oversampling ratio, the LTC2483 significantly simplifies antialiasing filter requirements. Additionally, the input current cancellation feature of the LTC2483 allows external lowpass filtering without degrading the DC performance of the device. The SINC4 digital filter provides greater than 120dB normal mode rejection at all frequencies except DC and integer multiples of the modulator sampling frequency (fS). The LTC2483's autocalibration circuits further simplify the antialiasing requirements by additional normal mode signal filtering both in the analog and digital domain. Independent of the operating mode, fS = 256 * fN = 2048 * fOUT(MAX) where fN is the notch frequency and fOUT(MAX) is the maximum output data rate. In the internal oscillator mode, fS = 13960Hz. In the external oscillator mode, fS = fEOSC /20. The performance of the normal mode rejection is shown in Figures 26 and 27. The regions of low rejection occurring at integer multiples of fS have a very narrow bandwidth. Magnified details of the normal mode rejection curves are shown in Figure 28 (rejection near DC) and Figure 29 (rejection at fS = 256fN) where fN represents the notch frequency. These curves have been derived for the external oscillator mode but they can be used in all operating modes by appropriately selecting the fN value. 2483fc 24 LTC2483 Applications Information 100 -1 60Hz fEOSC = 307.2kHz -2 50Hz fEOSC = 256kHz -3 -4 INTERNAL OSCILLATOR -5 -6 INPUT REFERRED NOISE EQUIVALENT BANDWIDTH (Hz) INPUT SIGNAL ATTENUATION (dB) 0 10 1 0.1 0.1 1 3 0 4 5 2 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT SIGNAL FREQUENCY (Hz) 2483 F24 Figure 25.

Typical measured values of the normal mode rejection of the LTC2483 operating with an external oscillator and a 60Hz notch setting are shown in Figure 30 superimposed over the theoretical calculated curve. Similarly, the measured normal rejection of the LTC2483 for 50Hz rejection (fEOSC = 256kHz) and 50Hz/60Hz rejection (internal oscillator) are shown in Figures 31 and 32. As a result of these remarkable normal mode specifications, minimal (if any) antialias filtering is required in front of the LTC2483. If passive RC components are placed in front of the LTC2483, the input dynamic current should be considered (see the Input Current section). In this case, the differential input current cancellation feature of the LTC2483 allows external RC networks without significant degradation in DC performance. Traditional high order delta-sigma modulators, while providing very good linearity and resolution, suffer from potential instabilities at large input signal levels. The proprietary architecture used for the LTC2483 third order modulator resolves this problem and guarantees a predictable stable behavior at input signal levels of up to 150% of full-scale. In many industrial applications, it is not uncommon to have to measure microvolt level signals superimposed on volt level perturbations and the LTC2483 is eminently suited for such tasks. When the perturbation is differential, the specification of interest is the normal mode rejection for large input signal levels. With a reference voltage VREF = 5V, the LTC2483 has a full-scale differential input range of 5V peak-to-peak. Figures 33 and 34 show measurement results for the LTC2483 normal mode rejection ratio with a 7.5V peak-to-peak (150% of full-scale) input signal superimposed over the more traditional normal mode rejection ratio results obtained with a 5V peak-to-peak (full-scale) input signal. In Figure 33, the LTC2483 uses the external oscillator with the notch set at 60Hz and in Figure 34 it uses the external oscillator with the notch set at 50Hz. It is clear that the LTC2483 rejection performance is maintained with no compromises in this extreme situation. When operating with large input signal levels, the user must observe that such signals do not violate the device absolute maximum ratings. 2483fc 26 LTC2483 Applications Information MEASURED DATA CALCULATED DATA -20 -40 VCC = 5V VREF = 5V VIN(CM) = 2.5V VIN(P-P) = 5V TA = 25C -60 -80 -100 -120 0 15 30 45 60 75 0 NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) 0 -40 -80 -100 0 12.5 25 37.5 50 62.5 75 87.5 100 112.5 125 137.5 150 162.5 175 187.5 200 INPUT FREQUENCY (Hz) 2483 F30 2483 F31 Figure 30.
