DESCRIPTION
1Msps/3Msps, 12-Bit Serial
Sampling ADCs in TSOT
The LTC
®
2365/LTC2366 are 1Msps/3Msps, 12-bit, sam-
pling A/D converters that draw only 2mA and 2.6mA, re-
spectively, from a single 3V supply. These high performance
devices include a high dynamic range sample-and-hold
and a high speed serial interface. The full-scale input is
0V to VDD or VREF . Outstanding AC performance includes
72dB SINAD and –80dB THD at sample rates of 3Msps.
The serial interface provides fl exible power management
and allows maximum power effi ciency at low throughput
rates. These devices are available in tiny 6- and 8-lead
TSOT-23 packages.
The serial interface, tiny TSOT-23 package and extremely
high sample rate-to-power ratio make the LTC2365/LTC2366
ideal for compact, low power, high speed systems.
The high impedance single-ended analog input and the
ability to operate with reduced spans (down to 1.4V full
scale) allow direct connection to sensors and transducers in
many applications, eliminating the need for gain stages.

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: When this pin, AIN, is taken below GND or above VDD, it will be
clamped by internal diodes. These products can handle input currents
greater than 100mA below GND or above VDD without latchup.
Note 4: VDD = OVDD = VREF = 2.35V to 3.6V, fSMPL = fSMPL(MAX) and
fSCK = fSCK(MAX) unless otherwise specifi ed.
Note 5: Integral linearity is defi ned as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 6: Linearity, offset and gain specifi cations apply for a single-ended
AIN input with respect to GND.
Note 7: Typical RMS noise at code transitions.
Note 8: Guaranteed by characterization. All input signals are specifi ed with
tr = tf = 2ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6V.
Note 9: All timing specifi cations given are with a 10pF capacitance load.
With a capacitance load greater than this value, a digital buffer or latch
must be used.
Note 10: Minimum fSCK at which specifi cations are guaranteed.
Note 11: The time required for the output to cross the VIH or VIL voltage.
Note 12: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 13: High temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime
is derated at temperatures greater than 105°C.

DC PERFORMANCE
The noise of an ADC can be evaluated in two ways: signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR) in the frequency domain and histogram
in the time domain. The LTC2365/LTC2366 excel in both.
Figures 5 and 6 demonstrate that the LTC2365/LTC2366
have an SNR of over 72dB. The noise in the time domain
histogram is the transition noise associated with a 12-bit
resolution ADC which can be measured with a fi xed DC signal
applied to the input of the ADC. The resulting output codes
are collected over a large number of conversions. The
shape of the distribution of codes will give an indication
of the magnitude of the transition noise. In Figure 4, the
distribution of output codes is shown for a DC input that
has been digitized 16384 times. The distribution is Gaus-
sian and the RMS code transition is about 0.34LSB. This
corresponds to a noise level of 72.7dB relative to a full
scale of 3V.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
The LTC2365/LTC2366 have excellent high speed sampling
capability. Fast fourier transform (FFT) test techniques are
used to test the ADC’s frequency response, distortion and
noise at the rated throughput. By applying a low distortion
sine wave and analyzing the digital output using an FFT
algorithm, the ADC’s spectral content can be examined for
frequencies outside the fundamental. Figures 5 and 6 show
typical LTC2365 and LTC2366 FFT plots respectively.

Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio
The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SINAD) is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency to the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band limited
to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling
frequency. Figure 6 shows a typical FFT with a 3MHz sam-
pling rate and a 1MHz input. The dynamic performance
is excellent for input frequencies up to and beyond the
Nyquist frequency of 1.5MHz.
Effective Number of Bits
The effective number of bits (ENOB) is a measurement
of the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to
SINAD by the equation:
ENOB = (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02
where ENOB is the effective number of bits of resolu-
tion and SINAD is expressed in dB. At the maximum
sampling rate of 3MHz, the LTC2366 maintains ENOB
above 11 bits up to the Nyquist input frequency of 1.5MHz
(refer to Figure 7).
Total Harmonic Distortion
The total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental
itself. The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency
band between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD
is expressed as:
THD =20log V22+V32+V42+...Vn2
V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental
frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the
second through nth harmonics. THD versus Input Fre-
quency is shown in Figure 8. The LTC2366 has excellent
distortion performance up to the Nyquist frequency and
beyond.

Figure 9b. LTC2366 Intermodulation Distortion Plot
Intermodulation Distortion
If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral
component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can
produce intermoduation distortion (IMD) in addition to
THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused
by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different
frequency.
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied
to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function
can create distortion products at the sum and difference
frequencies of mfa±nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
For example, the 2nd order IMD terms include (fa ± fb).
If the two input sine waves are equal in magnitude, the
value (in decibels) of the 2nd order IMD products can be
expressed by the following formula:
IMD(fa±fb)=20log Amplitude at (fa±fb)
Amplitude at fa
The LTC2365/LTC2366 have good IMD as shown in
Figure 9a and Figure 9b respectively.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spectral
component excluding the input signal and DC. This value
is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of a
full-scale input signal.
Full-Power and Full-Linear Bandwidth
The full-power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of reconstructed fundamental is reduced by
3dB for full-scale input signal.
The full-linear bandwidth is the input frequency at which
the SINAD has dropped to 68dB (11 effective bits). The
LTC2365/LTC2366 have been designed to optimize input
bandwidth, allowing the ADC to undersample input sig-
nals with frequencies above the converters Nyquist Fre-
quency. The noise fl oor stays very low at high frequencies;
SINAD becomes dominated by distortion at frequencies
far beyond Nyquist.

Figure 10. LTC2365/LTC2366 Serial Interface Timing Diagram
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The LTC2365/LTC2366 use a successive approximation
algorithm and internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an
analog signal to a 12-bit serial output. Both devices operate
from a single 2.35V to 3.6V supply. The LTC2366 samples
at a rate of 3Msps with a 48MHz clock while the LTC2365
samples at a rate of 1Msps with a 16MHz clock.
The LTC2365/LTC2366 contain a 12-bit, switched-capacitor
ADC, a sample-and-hold, and a serial interface (see Block
Diagram) and are available in tiny 6- and 8-lead TSOT-23
packages. The devices provide sleep mode control through
the serial interface to save power during inactive periods
(see the SLEEP MODE section).
The S6 package of the LTC2365/LTC2366 uses VDD as the
reference and has an analog input range of 0V to VDD. The
ADC samples the analog input with respect to GND and
outputs the result through the serial interface.
The TS8 package provides two additional pins: a reference
input pin, VREF, and an output supply pin, OVDD. The ADC
can operate with reduced spans down to 1.4V and achieve
342μV resolution. OVDD controls the output swing of the
digital output pin, SDO, and allows the device to com-
municate with 1.8V, 2.5V or 3V digital systems.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The LTC2365/LTC2366 communicate with microcontrollers,
DSPs and other external circuitry via a 3-wire interface.
Figure 10 shows the serial interface timing diagram, while
Figures 11 and 12 detail the timing diagrams of conversion
cycles in 14 and 16 SCK cycles respectively.
Data Transfer
A falling CS edge starts a conversion and frames the se-
rial data transfer. SCK provides the conversion clock and
controls the data transfer during the conversion.
CS going low clocks out the fi rst leading zero and sub-
sequent SCK falling edges clock out the remaining data,
beginning with the second leading zero. (Therefore, the
rst SCK falling edge captures the fi rst leading zero and
clocks out the second leading zero). The timing diagram
in Figure 12 shows that the fi nal bit in the data transfer is
valid on the 16th falling edge, since it is clocked out on
the previous 15th falling edge.
In applications with a slower SCK, it is possible to capture
data on each SCK rising edge. In such cases, the fi rst fall-
ing edge of SCK clocks out the second leading zero and
can be captured on the fi rst rising edge. However, the fi rst
leading zero clocked out when CS goes low is missed as
shown in Figures 11 and 12. In Figure 12, the 15th falling
edge of SCK clocks out the last bit and can be captured
on the 15th rising SCK edge.
If CS goes low while SCK is low, then CS clocks out the
rst leading zero and can be captured on the SCK rising
edge. The next SCK falling edge clocks out the second
leading zero and can be captured on the following rising
edge as shown in in Figure 10.

Achieving 3Msps Sample Rate with LTC2366
CS going low places the sample-and-hold into hold mode
and starts a conversion. The LTC2365/LTC2366 require
at least 14 SCK cycles to fi nish the conversion. The
conversion terminates after the 13th falling SCK edge,
which clocks out B0. The 14th falling SCK edge places
the sample-and-hold back into sample mode.
Ignoring the last two trailing zeros, the user can bring CS
high after the 14th falling SCK edge. The user can also
keep the last two trailing zeros by bringing CS high right
after the 16th falling SCK. In both cases, a sample rate
of 3Msps can be achieved by using a 48MHz SCK clock
on the LTC2366, where tTHROUGHPUT is 333ns.
Serial Data Output (SDO)
The SDO output remains in the high impedance state while
CS is high. The falling edge of CS starts the conversion
and enables SDO. The A/D conversion result is shifted out
on the SDO pin as a serial data stream with the MSB fi rst.
The data stream consists of two leading zeros followed
by 12 bits of conversion data and two trailing zeros. The
SDO output returns to the high impedance state at the
16th falling edge of SCK or sooner by bringing CS high
before the 16th falling edge of SCK.
The output swing on the SDO pin is controlled by the VDD
pin voltage in the S6 package and by the OVDD pin voltage
in the TS8 package.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SLEEP MODE
The LTC2365/LTC2366 provide a sleep mode to conserve
power during inactive periods. Upon power-up, holding
CS high initializes the ADC to sleep mode. In sleep mode,
all bias circuitry is shut down and only leakage currents
remain (0.1μA typ).
Entering Sleep Mode
The ADC achieves the fastest sampling rate in operational
mode (full power-up). The device can also be put into sleep
mode for power savings during inactive periods. To force
the LTC2365/LTC2366 into sleep mode, the user can inter-
rupt the conversion process by bringing CS high between
the 2nd and 10th falling edges of SCK (see Figures 13 and
14). If CS is brought high after the 10th falling edge and
before the 16th falling edge, the device remains powered
up, but the conversion is terminated and SDO returns to
the high impedance state.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Exiting Sleep Mode and Power-Up Time
To exit sleep mode, pull CS low and perform a dummy
conversion. The LTC2365/LTC2366 device power up com-
pletely after the 16th falling edge of SCK. After powering
up, the ADC can continuously acquire an input signal
and perform conversions as described in the SERIAL
INTERFACE section (see Figure 15). The wake-up time is
333ns for the LTC2366 with a 48MHz SCK and 1μs for the
LTC2365 with a 16MHz SCK.
The sample-and-hold is in hold mode while the device is in
sleep mode. The ADC returns to sample mode after the 1st
falling edge of SCK during power-up (see Figure 15).
POWER VERSUS SAMPLING RATE
Figure 16 shows the power consumption of the LTC2365/
LTC2366 in operational mode. By taking the ADC into sleep
mode when not performing a conversion, the average
power consumption of the ADC decreases as the sampling
rate decreases. Figure 17 shows the power consumption
versus sampling rate with the device in sleep mode when
not performing a conversion.

SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG INPUT
Driving the Analog Input
The analog input of the LTC2365/LTC2366 is easy to drive.
The input draws only one small current spike while charg-
ing the sample-and-hold capacitor at the end of conver-
sion. During the conversion, the analog input draws only
a small leakage current. If the source impedance of the
driving circuit is low, then the input of the LTC2365/LT2366
can be driven directly. As source impedance increases,
so will acquisition time. For minimum acquisition time
with high source impedance, a buffer amplifi er should be
used. The main requirement is that the amplifi er driving
the analog input must settle after the small current spike
before the next conversion starts (settling time must be
less than 56ns for full throughput rate). While choosing
an input amplifi er, also keep in mind the amount of noise
and harmonic distortion the amplifi er contributes.
Choosing an Input Amplifi er
Choosing an input amplifi er is easy if a few requirements
are taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude
of the voltage spike seen by amplifi er from charging the
sampling capacitor, choose an amplifi er that has a low
output impedance (<100Ω) at the closed-loop bandwidth
frequency. For example, if an amplifi er is used in a gain
of 1 and has a unitygain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the
output impedance at 50MHz must be less than 100Ω. The
second requirement is that the closed-loop bandwidth must
be greater than 40MHz to ensure adequate small signal
settling for full throughput rate. If slower op amps are
used, more time for settling can be provided by increas-
ing the time between conversions. The best choice for an
op amp to drive the LTC2365/LTC2366 will depend on the
application. Generally, applications fall into two categories:
AC applications where dynamic specifi cations are most
critical and time domain applications where DC accuracy
and settling time are most critical. The following list is a
summary of the op amps that are suitable for driving the
LTC2365/LTC2366. (More detailed information is available
on the Linear Technology website at www.linear.com.)

Input Filtering and Source Impedance
The noise and the distortion of the input amplifi er and other
circuitry must be considered since they will add to the
LTC2365/LTC2366 noise and distortion. The small-signal
bandwidth of the sample-and-hold circuit is 50MHz. Any
noise or distortion products that are present at the analog
inputs will be summed over this entire bandwidth. Noisy
input circuitry should be fi ltered prior to the analog inputs
to minimize noise. A simple 1-pole RC fi lter is suffi cient for
many applications. For example, Figure 18 shows a 47pF
capacitor from AIN to ground and a 51Ω source resistor to
limit the input bandwidth to 47MHz. The 47pF capacitor also
acts as a charge reservoir for the input sample-and-hold
and isolates the ADC input from sampling-glitch sensitive
circuitry. High quality capacitors and resistors should be
used since these components can add distortion. NPO
and silvermica type dielectric capacitors have excellent
linearity. Carbon surface mount resistors can generate
distortion from self heating and from damage that may
occur during soldering. Metal fi lm surface mount resistors
are much less susceptible to both problems. When high
amplitude unwanted signals are close in frequency to the
desired signal frequency, a multiple pole fi lter is required.
High external source resistance, combined with the 20pF of
input capacitance, will reduce the rated 50MHz bandwidth
and increase acquisition time beyond 56ns.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Reference Input
On the TS8 package of the LTC2365/LTC2366, the voltage
on the VREF pin defi nes the full-scale range of the ADC. The
reference voltage can range from VDD down to 1.4V.
Input Range
The analog input of the LTC2365/LTC2366 is driven single-
ended with respect to GND from a single supply. The input
may swing up to VDD for the S6 package and to VREF for
the TS8 package. The 0V to 2.5V range is also ideally
suited for single-ended input use with VDD or VREF = 2.5V
for single supply applications. If the difference between
the AIN input and GND exceeds VDD for the S6 package or
VREF for the TS8 package, the output code will stay fi xed
at all ones, and if this difference goes below 0V, the output
code will stay fi xed at all zeros.
Figure 19 shows the ideal input/output characteristics for
the LTC2365/LTC2366. The code transitions occur mid-
way between successive integer LSB values (i.e. 0.5LSB,
1.5LSB, 2.5LSB, …, FS –1.5LSB). The output code is
straight binary with 1LSB = VDD/4096 for the S6 package
and 1LSB = VREF/4096 for the TS8 package.
BOARD LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
Wire wrap boards are not recommended for high resolu-
tion and/or high speed A/D converters. To obtain the best
performance from the LTC2365/LTC2366, a printed circuit
board with ground plane is required. Layout for the printed
circuit board should ensure that digital and analog signal
lines are separated as much as possible. In particular, care
should be taken not to run any digital track alongside an
analog signal track or underneath the ADC. The analog
input should be screened by the ground plane.

Figure 20. Power Supply Ground Practice
High quality tantalum and ceramic bypass capacitors
should be used at the VDD and VREF pins as shown in the
Typical Application circuit on the fi rst page of this data
sheet. For optimum performance, a 10μF surface mount
AVX capacitor with a 0.1μF ceramic is recommended for
the VDD pin and a 4.7μF surface mount AVX capacitor
with a 0.1μF ceramic is recommended for the VREF and
OVDD pins. Alternatively, 4.7μF and 10μF ceramic chip
capacitors such as Murata GRM235Y5V106Z016 may
be used. The capacitors must be located as close to the
pins as possible. The traces connecting the pins and the
bypass capacitors must be kept short and should be made
as wide as possible.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 20 shows the recommended system ground con-
nections. All analog circuitry grounds should be terminated
at the LTC2365/LTC2366. The ground return from the
LTC2365/LTC2366 to the power supply should be low
impedance for noise free operation. Digital circuitry grounds
must be connected to the digital supply common.
In applications where the ADC data outputs and control sig-
nals are connected to a continuously active microprocessor
bus, it is possible to get errors in the conversion results.
These errors are due to feedthrough from the micropro-
cessor to the successive approximation comparator. The
problem can be eliminated by forcing the microprocessor
into a Wait state during conversion or by using three-state
buffers to isolate the ADC data bus.
