TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Buffered Octal, 18-Bit, 200ksps/Ch Differential
±10.24V ADC with 30VP-P Common Mode Range
The LT C
®
2358-18 is an 18-bit, low noise 8-channel simul-
taneous sampling successive approximation register (SAR)
ADC with buffered differential, wide common mode range
picoamp inputs. Operating from a 5V low voltage supply,
flexible high voltage supplies, and using the internal refer-
ence and buffer, each channel of this SoftSpan
TM
ADC can be
independently configured on a conversion-by-conversion
basis to accept ±10.24V, 0V to 10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0V to
5.12V signals. Individual channels may also be disabled
to increase throughput on the remaining channels.
The integrated picoamp-input analog buffers, wide input
common mode range and 128dB CMRR of the LTC2358-18
allow the ADC to directly digitize a variety of signals us-
ing minimal board space and power. This input signal
flexibility, combined with ±3.5LSB INL, no missing codes
at 18 bits, and 96.4dB SNR, makes the LTC2358-18 an
ideal choice for many high voltage applications requiring
wide dynamic range.
The LTC2358-18 supports pin-selectable SPI CMOS (1.8V
to 5V) and LVDS serial interfaces. Between one and eight
lanes of data output may be employed in CMOS mode,
allowing the user to optimize bus width and throughput.

Figure1. Voltage Levels for Timing Specifications
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: VDDLBYP is the output of an internal voltage regulator, and should
only be connected to a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor to bypass the pin to GND,
as described in the Pin Functions section. Do not connect this pin to any
external circuitry.
Note 4: When these pin voltages are taken below VEE or above VCC, they
will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents
of up to 100mA below VEE or above VCC without latch-up.
Note 5: When these pin voltages are taken below GND or above VDD or
OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
currents of up to 100mA below GND or above VDD or OVDD without latch-
up.
Note 6: –16.5V ≤ VEE ≤ 0V, 7.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 38V, 10V ≤ (VCC – VEE) ≤ 38V,
VDD=5V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 7: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 8: Exceeding these limits on any channel may corrupt conversion
results on other channels. Driving an analog input above VCC on any
channel up to 10mA will not affect conversion results on other channels.
Driving an analog input below VEE may corrupt conversion results on other
channels. Refer to Applications Information section for further details.
Refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings section for pin voltage limits related
to device reliability.
Note 9: VCC = 15V, VEE = –15V, VDD = 5V, OVDD=2.5V, fSMPL = 200ksps,
internal reference and buffer, true bipolar input signal drive in bipolar
SoftSpan ranges, unipolar signal drive in unipolar SoftSpan ranges, unless
otherwise specified.
Note 10: Integral nonlinearity is defined 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 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 12: For bipolar SoftSpan ranges 7, 6, 3, and 2, zero-scale error
is the offset voltage measured from –0.5LSB when the output code
flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 11 1111 1111 1111 1111.
Full-scale error for these SoftSpan ranges is the worst-case deviation of
the first and last code transitions from ideal and includes the effect of
offset error. For unipolar SoftSpan ranges 5, 4, and 1, zero-scale error is
the offset voltage measured from 0.5LSB when the output code flickers
between 00 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 00 0000 0000 0000 0001. Full-
scale error for these SoftSpan ranges is the worst-case deviation of the
last code transition from ideal and includes the effect of offset error.
Note 13: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale input in the
relevant SoftSpan input range, except for crosstalk, which is referred to
the crosstalk injection signal amplitude.
Note 14: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 15: When REFBUF is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must
be disabled by setting REFIN = 0V.
Note 16: IREFBUF varies proportionally with sample rate and the number of
active channels.
Note 17: Analog input buffer supply currents from IVCC and IVEE are
reduced outside the acquisition period. Refer to nap mode in Applications
Information section.
Note 18: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V, OVDD = 2.5V,
and OVDD = 5.25V.
Note 19: A tSCKI period of 10ns minimum allows a shift clock frequency of
up to 100MHz for rising edge capture.
Note 20: VICM = 1.2V, VID = 350mV for LVDS differential input pairs.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Pins that are the Same for All Digital I/O Modes
IN0+/IN0 to IN7+/IN7 (Pins 14/13, 12/11, 10/9, 8/7, 6/5,
4/3, 2/1, and 48/47): Positive and Negative Analog Inputs,
Channels 0 to 7. The converter simultaneously samples
and digitizes (VIN+ VIN–) for all channels. Wide input
common mode range (VEE + 4V VCM ≤ VCC 4V) and
high common mode rejection allow the inputs to accept
a wide variety of signal swings. Full-scale input range is
determined by the channel’s SoftSpan configuration.
GND (Pins 15, 18, 20, 30, 41, 44, 46): Ground. Solder
all GND pins to a solid ground plane.
VCC (Pin 16): Positive High Voltage Power Supply. The
range of VCC is 7.5V to 38V with respect to GND and 10V
to 38V with respect to VEE. Bypass VCC to GND close to
the pin with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
VEE (Pins 17, 45): Negative High Voltage Power Supply.
The range of VEE is 0V to –16.5V with respect to GND and
–10V to –38V with respect to VCC. Connect Pins 17 and 45
together and bypass the VEE network to GND close to Pin
17 with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. In applications where
VEE is shorted to GND, this capacitor may be omitted.
REFIN (Pin 19): Bandgap Reference Output/Reference Buf-
fer Input. An internal bandgap reference nominally outputs
2.048V on this pin. An internal reference buffer amplifies
VREFIN to create the converter master reference voltage
VREFBUF = 2•VREFIN on the REFBUF pin. When using the
internal reference, bypass REFIN to GND (Pin 20) close to
the pin with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to filter the bandgap
output noise. If more accuracy is desired, overdrive REFIN
with an external reference in the range of 1.25V to 2.2V.
Do not load this pin when internal reference is used.
REFBUF (Pin 21): Internal Reference Buffer Output. An
internal reference buffer amplifies VREFIN to create the
converter master reference voltage VREFBUF = 2VREFIN
on this pin, nominally 4.096V when using the internal
bandgap reference. Bypass REFBUF to GND (Pin 20) close
to the pin with a 47μF ceramic capacitor. The internal ref-
erence buffer may be disabled by grounding its input at
REFIN. With the buffer disabled, overdrive REFBUF with
an external reference voltage in the range of 2.5V to 5V.
When using the internal reference buffer, limit the loading
of any external circuitry connected to REFBUF to less than
200µA. Using a high input impedance amplifier to buffer
VREFBUF to any external circuits is recommended.
PD (Pin 22): Power Down Input. When this pin is brought
high, the LTC2358-18 is powered down and subsequent
conversion requests are ignored. If this occurs during a
conversion, the device powers down once the conversion
completes. If this pin is brought high twice without an
intervening conversion, an internal global reset is initi-
ated, equivalent to a power-on-reset event. Logic levels
are determined by OVDD.
LVDS/CMOS (Pin 23): I/O Mode Select. Tie this pin to OVDD
to select LVDS I/O mode, or to ground to select CMOS I/O
mode. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
CNV (Pin 24): Conversion Start Input. A rising edge on
this pin puts the internal sample-and-holds into the hold
mode and initiates a new conversion. CNV is not gated
by CS, allowing conversions to be initiated independent
of the state of the serial I/O bus.
BUSY (Pin 38): Busy Output. The BUSY signal indicates
that a conversion is in progress. This pin transitions low-
to-high at the start of each conversion and stays high until
the conversion is complete. Logic levels are determined
by OVDD.
VDDLBYP (Pin 40): Internal 2.5V Regulator Bypass Pin. The
voltage on this pin is generated via an internal regulator
operating off of VDD. This pin must be bypassed to GND
close to the pin with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor. Do not
connect this pin to any external circuitry.
VDD (Pins 42, 43): 5V Power Supply. The range of VDD
is 4.75V to 5.25V. Connect Pins 42 and 43 together and
bypass the VDD network to GND with a shared 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor close to the pins.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CMOS I/O Mode
SDO0 to SDO7 (Pins 25, 26, 27, 28, 33, 34, 35, and 36):
CMOS Serial Data Outputs, Channels 0 to 7. The most
recent conversion result along with channel configuration
information is clocked out onto the SDO pins on each ris-
ing edge of SCKI. Output data formatting is described in
the Digital Interface section. Leave unused SDO outputs
unconnected. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SCKI (Pin 29): CMOS Serial Clock Input. Drive SCKI with
the serial I/O clock. SCKI rising edges latch serial data in
on SDI and clock serial data out on SDO0 to SDO7. For
standard SPI bus operation, capture output data at the
receiver on rising edges of SCKI. SCKI is allowed to idle
either high or low. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
OVDD (Pin 31): I/O Interface Power Supply. In CMOS I/O
mode, the range of OVDD is 1.71V to 5.25V. Bypass OVDD
to GND (Pin 30) close to the pin with a 0.1μF ceramic
capacitor.
SCKO (Pin 32): CMOS Serial Clock Output. SCKI rising
edges trigger transitions on SCKO that are skew-matched
to the serial output data streams on SDO0 to SDO7. The
resulting SCKO frequency is half that of SCKI. Rising and
falling edges of SCKO may be used to capture SDO data
at the receiver (FPGA) in double data rate (DDR) fashion.
For standard SPI bus operation, SCKO is not used and
should be left unconnected. SCKO is forced low at the
falling edge of BUSY. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SDI (Pin 37): CMOS Serial Data Input. Drive this pin with the
desired 24-bit SoftSpan configuration word (see Table1a),
latched on the rising edges of SCKI. If all channels will be
configured to operate only in SoftSpan 7, tie SDI to OVDD.
Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
CS (Pin 39): Chip Select Input. The serial data I/O bus is
enabled when CS is low and is disabled and Hi-Z when
CS is high. CS also gates the external shift clock, SCKI.
Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
LVDS I/O Mode
SDO0, SDO7, SDI (Pins 25, 36, and 37): CMOS Serial
Data I/O. In LVDS I/O mode, these pins are Hi-Z.
SDI+/SDI (Pins 26/27): LVDS Positive and Negative Serial
Data Input. Differentially drive SDI+/SDI with the desired
24-bit SoftSpan configuration word (see Table 1a), latched
on both the rising and falling edges of SCKI+/SCKI. The
SDI+/SDI input pair is internally terminated with a 100Ω
differential resistor when CS is low.
SCKI+/SCKI (Pins 28/29): LVDS Positive and Negative
Serial Clock Input. Differentially drive SCKI+/SCKI with
the serial I/O clock. SCKI+/SCKI rising and falling edges
latch serial data in on SDI+/SDI and clock serial data out
on SDO+/SDO. Idle SCKI+/SCKI low, including when
transitioning CS. The SCKI+/SCKI input pair is internally
terminated with a 100Ω differential resistor when CS is low.
OVDD (Pin 31): I/O Interface Power Supply. In LVDS I/O
mode, the range of OVDD is 2.375V to 5.25V. Bypass OVDD
to GND (Pin 30) close to the pin with a 0.1μF ceramic
capacitor.
SCKO+/SCKO (Pins 32/33): LVDS Positive and Negative
Serial Clock Output. SCKO+/SCKO outputs a copy of the
input serial I/O clock received on SCKI+/SCKI, skew-
matched with the serial output data stream on SDO+/SDO.
Use the rising and falling edges of SCKO+/SCKO to cap-
ture SDO+/SDO data at the receiver (FPGA). The SCKO+/
SCKO output pair must be differentially terminated with
a 100Ω resistor at the receiver (FPGA).
SDO+/SDO (Pins 34/35): LVDS Positive and Negative
Serial Data Output. The most recent conversion result
along with channel configuration information is clocked
out onto SDO+/SDO on both rising and falling edges of
SCKI+/SCKI, beginning with channel 0. The SDO+/SDO
output pair must be differentially terminated with a 100Ω
resistor at the receiver (FPGA).
CS (Pin 39): Chip Select Input. The serial data I/O bus is
enabled when CS is low, and is disabled and Hi-Z when
CS is high. CS also gates the external shift clock, SCKI+/
SCKI. The internal 100Ω differential termination resistors
on the SCKI+/SCKI and SDI+/SDI input pairs are disabled
when CS is high. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The LTC2358-18 is an 18-bit, low noise 8-channel si-
multaneous sampling successive approximation register
(SAR) ADC with buffered differential, wide common
mode range picoamp inputs. The ADC operates from a
5V low voltage supply and flexible high voltage supplies,
nominally ±15V. Using the integrated low-drift reference
and buffer (VREFBUF = 4.096V nominal), each channel of
this SoftSpan ADC can be independently configured on a
conversion-by-conversion basis to accept ±10.24V, 0V to
10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0V to 5.12V signals. The input signal
range may be expanded up to ±12.5V using an external
5V reference. Individual channels may also be disabled to
increase throughput on the remaining channels.
The integrated picoamp-input analog buffers, wide input
common mode range, and 128dB CMRR of the LTC2358-
18 allow the ADC to directly digitize a variety of signals
using minimal board space and power. This input signal
flexibility, combined with ±3.5LSB INL, no missing codes
at 18 bits, and 96.4dB SNR, makes the LTC2358-18 an
ideal choice for many high voltage applications requiring
wide dynamic range.
The absolute common mode input range (VEE + 4V to
VCC–4V) is determined by the choice of high voltage
supplies. These supplies may be biased asymmetrically
around ground and include the ability for VEE to be tied
directly to ground.
The LTC2358-18 supports pin-selectable SPI CMOS (1.8V
to 5V) and LVDS serial interfaces, enabling it to com-
municate equally well with legacy microcontrollers and
modern FPGAs. In CMOS mode, applications may employ
between one and eight lanes of serial output data, allowing
the user to optimize bus width and data throughput. The
LTC2358-18 typically dissipates 219mW when converting
eight channels simultaneously at 200ksps per channel.
Optional nap and power down modes may be employed to
further reduce power consumption during inactive periods.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2358-18 operates in two phases. During the ac-
quisition phase, the sampling capacitors in each channel’s
sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit connect to their respective
analog input buffers, which track the differential analog
input voltage (VIN+ VIN–). A rising edge on the CNV pin
transitions all channels’ S/H circuits from track mode to
hold mode, simultaneously sampling the input signals on all
channels and initiating a conversion. During the conversion
phase, each channel’s sampling capacitors are connected,
one channel at a time, to an 18-bit charge redistribution
capacitor D/A converter (CDAC). The CDAC is sequenced
through a successive approximation algorithm, effectively
comparing the sampled input voltage with binary-weighted
fractions of the channel’s SoftSpan full-scale range (e.g.,
VFSR/2, VFSR/4 VFSR/262144) using a differential
comparator. At the end of this process, the CDAC output
approximates the channel’s sampled analog input. Once
all channels have been converted in this manner, the ADC
control logic prepares the 18-bit digital output codes from
each channel for serial transfer.
TRANSFER FUNCTION
The LTC2358-18 digitizes each channels full-scale voltage
range into 218 levels. In conjunction with the ADC master
reference voltage, VREFBUF, a channel’s SoftSpan configu-
ration determines its input voltage range, full-scale range,
LSB size, and the binary format of its conversion result, as
shown in Tables 1a and 1b. For example, employing the
internal reference and buffer (VREFBUF = 4.096V nominal),
SoftSpan 7 configures a channel to accept a ±10.24V
bipolar analog input voltage range, which corresponds
to a 20.48V full-scale range with a 78.125μV LSB. Other
SoftSpan configurations and reference voltages may be
employed to convert both larger and smaller bipolar and
unipolar input ranges. Conversion results are output in
two’s complement binary format for all bipolar SoftSpan
ranges, and in straight binary format for all unipolar

function is shown in Figure 2, while the ideal straight
binary transfer function is shown in Figure 3.

BUFFERED ANALOG INPUTS
Each channel of the LTC2358-18 simultaneously samples
the voltage difference (VIN+VIN) between its analog
input pins over a wide common mode input range while
attenuating unwanted signals common to both input pins
by the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of the ADC.
Wide common mode input range coupled with high CMRR
allows the IN+/IN analog inputs to swing with an arbitrary
relationship to each other, provided each pin remains
between (VEE+4V) and (VCC–4V). This feature of the
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTC2358-18 enables it to accept a wide variety of signal
swings, including traditional classes of analog input signals
such as pseudo-differential unipolar, pseudo-differential
true bipolar, and fully differential, simplifying signal chain
design. For conversion of signals extending to VEE, the
unbuffered LTC2348-18 ADC is recommended.
The wide operating range of the high voltage supplies
offers further input common mode flexibility. As long as
the voltage difference limits of 10V≤(VCCVEE)≤38V
are observed, VCC and VEE may be independently biased
anywhere within their own individually allowed operating
ranges, including the ability for VEE to be tied directly to
ground. This feature enables the common mode input
range of the LTC2358-18 to be tailored to specific ap-
plication requirements.
In all SoftSpan ranges, each channels analog inputs can
be modeled by the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 4. At
the start of acquisition, the sampling capacitors (CSAMP)
connect to the integrated buffers Buffer+/Buffer through
the sampling switches. The sampled voltage is reset dur-
ing the conversion process and is therefore re-acquired
for each new conversion.
The diodes between the inputs and the VCC and VEE sup-
plies provide input ESD protection. While within the supply
voltages, the analog inputs of the LTC2358-18 draw only
5pA typical DC leakage current and the ESD protection
diodes don’t turn on. This offers a significant advantage
over external op amp buffers, which often have diode
protection that turns on during transients and corrupts
the voltage on any filter capacitors at their inputs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Bipolar SoftSpan Input Ranges
For channels configured in SoftSpan ranges 7, 6, 3,
or 2, the LTC2358-18 digitizes the differential analog
input voltage (VIN+ VIN) over a bipolar span of
±2.5VREFBUF, ±2.5VREFBUF/1.024, ±1.25VREFBUF,
or ±1.25VREFBUF/1.024, respectively, as shown in Table
1a. These SoftSpan ranges are useful for digitizing input
signals where IN+ and IN swing above and below each
other. Traditional examples include fully differential input
signals, where IN+ and IN are driven 180 degrees out-of-
phase with respect to each other centered around a common
mode voltage (VIN+ + VIN)/2, and pseudo-differential
true bipolar input signals, where IN+ swings above and
below a ground reference level, driven on IN. Regardless
of the chosen SoftSpan range, the wide common mode
input range and high CMRR of the IN+/IN analog inputs
allow them to swing with an arbitrary relationship to each
other, provided each pin remains between (VCC 4V) and
(VEE+4V). The output data format for all bipolar SoftSpan
ranges is two’s complement.
Unipolar SoftSpan Input Ranges
For channels configured in SoftSpan ranges 5, 4, or 1, the
LTC2358-18 digitizes the differential analog input voltage
(VIN+ VIN–) over a unipolar span of 0V to 2.5VREFBUF,
0V to 2.5VREFBUF/1.024, or 0V to 1.25VREFBUF, respec-
tively, as shown in Table 1a. These SoftSpan ranges are
useful for digitizing input signals where IN+ remains above
IN. A traditional example includes pseudo-differential
unipolar input signals, where IN+ swings above a ground
reference level, driven on IN. Regardless of the chosen
SoftSpan range, the wide common mode input range and
high CMRR of the IN+/IN analog inputs allow them to
swing with an arbitrary relationship to each other, provided
each pin remains between (VCC 4V) and (VEE+4V).
The output data format for all unipolar SoftSpan ranges
is straight binary.
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
The CMOS buffer input stage offers a very high degree of
transient isolation from the sampling process. Most sen-
sors, signal conditioning amplifiers and filter networks with
less than 10kΩ of impedance can drive the passive 3pF
analog input capacitance directly. For higher impedances
and slow-settling circuits, add a 680pF capacitor at the
pins to maintain the full DC accuracy of the LTC2358-18.
The very high input impedance of the unity gain buffers in
the LTC2358-18 greatly reduces the input drive require-
ments and makes it possible to include optional RC filters
with kΩ impedance and arbitrarily slow time constants
for anti-aliasing or other purposes. Micropower op amps
with limited drive capability are also well suited to drive
the high impedance analog inputs directly.
The LTC2358-18 features proprietary circuitry to achieve
exceptional internal crosstalk isolation between channels
(109dB typical). The PC board wiring to the analog inputs
should be short and shielded to prevent external capacitive
crosstalk between channels. The capacitance between adja-
cent package pins is 0.16pF. Low source resistance and/or
high source capacitance help reduce external capacitively
coupled crosstalk. Single ended input drive also enjoys
additional external crosstalk isolation because every other
input pin is grounded, or at a low impedance DC source,
and serves as a shield between channels.
INPUT OVERDRIVE TOLERANCE
Driving an analog input above VCC on any channel up to
10mA will not affect conversion results on other channels.
Approximately 70% of this overdrive current will flow out
of the VCC pin and the remaining 30% will flow out of VEE.
This current flowing out of VEE will produce heat across
the VCC VEE voltage drop and must be taken into account
for the total Absolute Maximum power dissipation of
500mW. Driving an analog input below VEE may corrupt
conversion results on other channels. This product can
handle input currents of up to 100mA below VEE or above
VCC without latch-up.
Keep in mind that driving the inputs above VCC or below
VEE may reverse the normal current flow from the external
power supplies driving these pins.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
each pin remains between (VCC 4V) and (VEE+4V). This
feature of the LTC2358-18 enables it to accept a wide
variety of signal swings, simplifying signal chain design.
The two-tone test shown in Figure 6b demonstrates the
arbitrary input drive capability of the LTC2358-18. This test
simultaneously drives IN+ with a 7dBFS 2kHz single-ended
sine wave and IN with a −7dBFS 3.1kHz single-ended sine
wave. Together, these signals sweep the analog inputs
across a wide range of common mode and differential
mode voltage combinations, similar to the more general
arbitrary input signal case. They also have a simple spec-
tral representation. An ideal differential converter with no
common-mode sensitivity will digitize this signal as two
7dBFS spectral tones, one at each sine wave frequency.
The FFT plot in Figure 6b demonstrates the LTC2358-18
response approaches this ideal, with 119dB of SFDR
limited by the converter's second harmonic distortion
response to the 3.1kHz sine wave on IN.
The ability of the LTC2358-18 to accept arbitrary signal
swings over a wide input common mode range with high
CMRR can simplify application solutions. In practice,
many sensors produce a differential sensor voltage riding
on top of a large common mode signal. Figure 7a depicts
one way of using the LTC2358-18 to digitize signals of
this type. The amplifier stage provides a differential gain
of approximately 10V/V to the desired sensor signal while
the unwanted common mode signal is attenuated by the
ADC CMRR. The circuit employs the ±5V SoftSpan range of
the ADC. Figure7b shows measured CMRR performance
of this solution, which is competitive with the best com-
mercially available instrumentation amplifiers. Figure7c
shows measured AC performance of this solution.
In Figure 8, another application circuit is shown which
uses two channels of the LTC2358-18 to simultaneously
sense the voltage and bidirectional current through a sense
resistor over a wide common mode range.
Input Filtering
The true high impedance analog inputs can accommodate
a very wide range of passive or active signal conditioning
filters. The buffered ADC inputs have an analog bandwidth
of 6MHz, and impose no particular bandwidth requirement
on external filters. The external input filters can therefore be
optimized independent of the ADC to reduce signal chain
noise and interference. A common filter configuration is
the simple anti-aliasing and noise reducing RC filter with its
pole at half the sampling frequency. For example, 100kHz
with R=2.43kΩ and C=680pF as shown in Figure 5.

High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in
the RC filters since these components can add distortion.

that may occur during soldering. Metal film surface mount
resistors are much less susceptible to both problems.

ADC REFERENCE
As shown previously in Table 1b, the LTC2358-18 supports
three reference configurations. The first uses both the in-
ternal bandgap reference and reference buffer. The second
externally overdrives the internal reference but retains the
internal buffer, which isolates the external reference from
ADC conversion transients. This configuration is ideal
for sharing a single precision external reference across
multiple ADCs. The third disables the internal buffer and
overdrives the REFBUF pin externally.
Internal Reference with Internal Buffer
The LTC2358-18 has an on-chip, low noise, low drift
(20ppm/°C maximum), temperature compensated band-
gap reference that is factory trimmed to 2.048V. The
reference output connects through a 20kΩ resistor to
the REFIN pin, which serves as the input to the on-chip
reference buffer, as shown in Figure 9a. When employing
the internal bandgap reference, the REFIN pin should be
bypassed to GND (Pin 20) close to the pin with a 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor to filter wideband noise. The reference
buffer amplifies VREFIN to create the converter master
reference voltage VREFBUF = 2VREFIN on the REFBUF pin,
nominally 4.096V when using the internal bandgap refer-
ence. Bypass REFBUF to GND (Pin 20) close to the pin with
at least a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size or
X5R, 10V, 0805 size) to compensate the reference buffer,
absorb transient conversion currents, and minimize noise.
External Reference with Internal Buffer
If more accuracy and/or lower drift is desired, REFIN can
be easily overdriven by an external reference since 20kΩ
of resistance separates the internal bandgap reference
output from the REFIN pin, as shown in Figure 9b. The
valid range of external reference voltage overdrive on the
REFIN pin is 1.25V to 2.2V, resulting in converter mas-
ter reference voltages VREFBUF between 2.5V and 4.4V,
respectively. Linear Technology offers a portfolio of high
performance references designed to meet the needs of
many applications. With its small size, low power, and high
accuracy, the LTC6655-2.048 is well suited for use with the
LTC2358-18 when overdriving the internal reference. The

LTC6655-2.048 offers 0.025% (maximum) initial accuracy
and 2ppm/°C (maximum) temperature coefficient for high
precision applications. The LTC6655-2.048 is fully speci-
fied over the H-grade temperature range, complementing
the extended temperature range of the LTC2358-18 up to
125°C. Bypassing the LTC6655-2.048 with a 2.7µF to 100µF
ceramic capacitor close to the REFIN pin is recommended.
External Reference with Disabled Internal Buffer
The internal reference buffer supports VREFBUF = 4.4V
maximum. By grounding REFIN, the internal buffer may
be disabled allowing REFBUF to be overdriven with an
external reference voltage between 2.5V and 5V, as shown
in Figure 9c. Maximum input signal swing and SNR are
achieved by overdriving REFBUF using an external 5V
reference. The buffer feedback resistors load the REFBUF
pin with 13kΩ even when the reference buffer is disabled.
The LTC6655-5 offers the same small size, accuracy, drift,
and extended temperature range as the LTC6655-2.048,
and achieves a typical SNR of 97.9dB when paired with
the LTC2358-18. Bypass the LTC6655-5 to GND (Pin 20)
close to the REFBUF pin with at least a 47μF ceramic ca-
pacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size or X5R, 10V, 0805 size) to
absorb transient conversion currents and minimize noise.
The LTC2358-18 converter draws a charge (QCONV) from
the REFBUF pin during each conversion cycle. On short
time scales most of this charge is supplied by the external
REFBUF bypass capacitor, but on longer time scales all of
the charge is supplied by either the reference buffer, or
when the internal reference buffer is disabled, the external
reference. This charge draw corresponds to a DC current
equivalent of IREFBUF = QCONVf SMPL, which is proportional
to sample rate. In applications where a burst of samples
is taken after idling for long periods of time, as shown in
Figure10, IREFBUF quickly transitions from approximately
0.4mA to 1.5mA (VREFBUF = 5V, fSMPL=200kHz). This
current step triggers a transient response in the external
reference that must be considered, since any deviation in
VREFBUF affects converter accuracy. If an external reference
is used to overdrive REFBUF, the fast settling LTC6655
family of references is recommended.
Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response
For optimum performance in applications employing burst
sampling, the external reference with internal reference
buffer configuration should be used. The internal reference
buffer incorporates a proprietary design that minimizes
movements in VREFBUF when responding to a burst of
conversions following an idle period. Figure 11 compares
the burst conversion response of the LTC2358-18 with an
input near full scale for two reference configurations. The
first configuration employs the internal reference buffer
with REFIN externally overdriven by an LTC6655-2.048,
while the second configuration disables the internal ref-
erence buffer and overdrives REFBUF with an external
LTC6655-4.096. In both cases REFBUF is bypassed to
GND with a 47µF ceramic capacitor.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) 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 frequen-
cies outside the fundamental. The LTC2358-18 provides
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise
measurements.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band-limited
to frequencies below half the sampling frequency, exclud-
ing DC. Figure 12 shows that the LTC2358-18 achieves a
typical SINAD of 96.2dB in the ±10.24V range at a 200kHz
sampling rate with a true bipolar 2kHz input signal.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio between the
RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and
the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components
except the first five harmonics and DC. Figure 12 shows
that the LTC2358-18 achieves a typical SNR of 96.4dB in
the ±10.24V range at a 200kHz sampling rate with a true
bipolar 2kHz input signal.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
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 (fSMPL/2).
THD is expressed as:
THD =20log V2
2+V3
2+V4
2...V
N
2
V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre-
quency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second
through Nth harmonics, respectively. Figure 12 shows
that the LTC2358-18 achieves a typical THD of –111dB
(N=6) in the ±10.24V range at a 200kHz sampling rate
with a true bipolar 2kHz input signal.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The LTC2358-18 requires four power supplies: the posi-
tive and negative high voltage power supplies (VCC and
VEE), the 5V core power supply (VDD) and the digital input/
output (I/O) interface power supply (OVDD). As long as
the voltage difference limits of 10V VCC VEE 38V
are observed, VCC and VEE may be independently biased
anywhere within their own individual allowed operating
ranges, including the ability for VEE to be tied directly to
ground. This feature enables the common mode input
range of the LTC2358-18 to be tailored to the specific
application’s requirements. The flexible OVDD supply al-
lows the LTC2358-18 to communicate with CMOS logic
operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and 3.3V
systems. When using LVDS I/O mode, the range of OVDD
is 2.375V to 5.25V.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2358-18 does not have any specific power supply
sequencing requirements. Care should be taken to adhere
to the maximum voltage relationships described in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The LTC2358-18 has
an internal power-on-reset (POR) circuit which resets the

converter on initial power-up and whenever VDD drops
below 2V. Once the supply voltage re-enters the nominal
supply voltage range, the POR reinitializes the ADC. No
conversions should be initiated until at least 10ms after
a POR event to ensure the initialization period has ended.
When employing the internal reference buffer, allow 200ms
for the buffer to power up and recharge the REFBUF bypass
capacitor. Any conversion initiated before these times will
produce invalid results.
TIMING AND CONTROL
CNV Timing
The LTC2358-18 sampling and conversion is controlled
by CNV. A rising edge on CNV transitions all channels’ S/H
circuits from track mode to hold mode, simultaneously
sampling the input signals on all channels and initiating
a conversion. Once a conversion has been started, it
cannot be terminated early except by resetting the ADC,
as discussed in the Reset Timing section. For optimum
performance, drive CNV with a clean, low jitter signal and
avoid transitions on data I/O lines leading up to the rising
edge of CNV. Additionally, to minimize channel-to-channel
crosstalk, avoid high slew rates on the analog inputs for
100ns before and after the rising edge of CNV. Converter
status is indicated by the BUSY output, which transitions
low-to-high at the start of each conversion and stays high
until the conversion is complete. Once CNV is brought high
to begin a conversion, it should be returned low between
40ns and 60ns later or after the falling edge of BUSY to
minimize external disturbances during the internal conver-
sion process. The CNV timing required to take advantage
of the reduced power nap mode of operation is described
in the Nap Mode section.
Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2358-18 has an internal clock that is trimmed to
achieve a maximum conversion time of 550•N ns with N
channels enabled. With a minimum acquisition time of
570ns when converting eight channels simultaneously,
throughput performance of 200ksps is guaranteed without
any external adjustments. Also note that the minimum
acquisition time varies with sampling frequency (fSMPL)
and the number of enabled channels.
Nap Mode
The LTC2358-18 can be placed into nap mode after a con-
version has been completed to reduce power consumption
between conversions. In this mode a portion of the device
circuitry is turned off, including circuits associated with
sampling the analog input signals. Nap mode is enabled
by keeping CNV high between conversions, as shown in
Figure 13. To initiate a new conversion after entering nap
mode, bring CNV low and hold for at least 750ns before
bringing it high again. The converter acquisition time (tACQ)
is set by the CNV low time (tCNVL) when using nap mode.
Power Down Mode
When PD is brought high, the LTC2358-18 is powered
down and subsequent conversion requests are ignored. If
this occurs during a conversion, the device powers down
once the conversion completes. In this mode, the device

draws only a small regulator standby current resulting in a
typical power dissipation of 0.68mW. To exit power down
mode, bring the PD pin low and wait at least 10ms before
initiating a conversion. When employing the internal refer-
ence buffer, allow 200ms for the buffer to power up and
recharge the REFBUF bypass capacitor. Any conversion
initiated before these times will produce invalid results.
Reset Timing
A global reset of the LTC2358-18, equivalent to a power-
on-reset event, may be executed without needing to cycle
the supplies. This feature is useful when recovering from
system-level events that require the state of the entire sys-
tem to be reset to a known synchronized value. To initiate
a global reset, bring PD high twice without an intervening
conversion, as shown in Figure 14. The reset event is trig-
gered on the second rising edge of PD, and asynchronously
ends based on an internal timer. Reset clears all serial data
output registers and restores the internal SoftSpan configu-
ration register default state of all channels in SoftSpan7.
If reset is triggered during a conversion, the conversion
is immediately halted. The normal power down behavior
associated with PD going high is not affected by reset. Once
PD is brought low, wait at least 10ms before initiating a
conversion. When employing the internal reference buffer,
allow 200ms for the buffer to power up and recharge the
REFBUF bypass capacitor. Any conversion initiated before
these times will produce invalid results.
Power Dissipation vs Sampling Frequency
When nap mode is employed, the power dissipation of
the LTC2358-18 decreases as the sampling frequency is
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
reduced, as shown in Figure 15. This decrease in aver-
age power dissipation occurs because a portion of the
LTC2358-18 circuitry is turned off during nap mode, and
the fraction of the conversion cycle (tCYC) spent napping
increases as the sampling frequency (fSMPL) is decreased.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2358-18 features CMOS and LVDS serial interfaces,
selectable using the LVDS/CMOS pin. The flexible OVDD
supply allows the LTC2358-18 to communicate with any
CMOS logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems, while the LVDS interface supports
low noise digital designs. In CMOS mode, applications
may employ between one and eight lanes of serial data
output, allowing the user to optimize bus width and data
throughput. Together, these I/O interface options enable
the LTC2358-18 to communicate equally well with legacy
microcontrollers and modern FPGAs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Serial CMOS I/O Mode
As shown in Figure 16, in CMOS I/O mode the serial data
bus consists of a serial clock input, SCKI, serial data
input, SDI, serial clock output, SCKO, and eight lanes of
serial data output, SDO0 to SDO7. Communication with
the LTC2358-18 across this bus occurs during predefined
data transaction windows. Within a window, the device
accepts 24-bit SoftSpan configuration words for the next
conversion on SDI and outputs 24-bit packets containing
conversion results and channel configuration information
from the previous conversion on SDO0 to SDO7. New
data transaction windows open 10ms after powering up
or resetting the LTC2358-18, and at the end of each con-
version on the falling edge of BUSY. In the recommended
use case, the data transaction should be completed with
a minimum tQUIET time of 20ns prior to the start of the
next conversion, as shown in Figure 16. New SoftSpan
configuration words are only accepted within this recom-
mended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes
take effect immediately with no additional analog input
settling time required before starting the next conversion.
It is still possible to read conversion data after starting the
next conversion, but this will degrade conversion accuracy
and therefore is not recommended.
Just prior to the falling edge of BUSY and the opening of
a new data transaction window, SCKO is forced low and
SDO0 to SDO7 are updated with the latest conversion
results from analog input channels 0 to 7, respectively.
Rising edges on SCKI serially clock conversion results
and analog input channel configuration information out
on SDO0 to SDO7 and trigger transitions on SCKO that are
skew-matched to the data on SDO0 to SDO7. The resulting
SCKO frequency is half that of SCKI. SCKI rising edges
also latch SoftSpan configuration words provided on SDI,

which are used to program the internal 24-bit SoftSpan
configuration register. See the section Programming the
SoftSpan Configuration Register in CMOS I/O Mode for
further details. SCKI is allowed to idle either high or low
in CMOS I/O mode. As shown in Figure 17, the CMOS
bus is enabled when CS is low and is disabled and Hi-Z
when CS is high, allowing the bus to be shared across
multiple devices.
The data on SDO0 to SDO7 are grouped into 24-bit
packets consisting of an 18-bit conversion result, 3-bit
analog channel ID, and 3-bit SoftSpan code, all presented
MSB first. As suggested in Figures 16 and 17, each SDO
lane outputs these packets for all analog input channels
in a sequential, circular manner. For example, the first
24-bit packet output on SDO0 corresponds to analog
input channel 0, followed by the packets for channels 1
through 7. The data output on SDO0 then wraps back
to channel 0, and this pattern repeats indefinitely. Other
SDO lanes follow a similar circular pattern, except the
first packet presented on each lane corresponds to its
associated analog input channel.
When interfacing the LTC2358-18 with a standard SPI
bus, capture output data at the receiver on rising edges of
SCKI. SCKO is not used in this case. Multiple SDO lanes
are also usually not useful in this case. In other applica-
tions, such as interfacing the LTC2358-18 with an FPGA
or CPLD, rising and falling edges of SCKO may be used
to capture serial output data on SDO0 to SDO7 in double
data rate (DDR) fashion. Capturing data using SCKO adds
robustness to delay variations over temperature and supply.
Full Eight Lane Serial CMOS Output Data Capture
As shown in Table 2, full 200ksps per channel throughput
can be achieved with a 45MHz SCKI frequency by capturing
the first packet (24 SCKI cycles total) from all eight serial
data output lanes SDO0 to SDO7. This configuration also
allows conversion results from all channels to be captured
using as few as 18 SCKI cycles if the 3-bit analog channel
ID and 3-bit SoftSpan code are not needed and the device
SoftSpan configuration is not being changed. Multi-lane
data capture is usually best suited for use with FPGA
or CPLD capture hardware, but may be useful in other
application-specific cases.

Fewer Than Eight Lane Serial CMOS Output Data Capture
Applications that cannot accommodate the full eight lanes
of serial data capture may employ fewer lanes without
reconfiguring the LTC2358-18. For example, capturing
the first two packets (48 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0,
SDO2, SDO4, and SDO6 provides data for analog input
channels 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7, respec-
tively, using four output lanes. Similarly, capturing the first
four packets (96 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0 and SDO4
provides data for analog input channels 0 to 3 and 4 to
7, respectively, using two output lanes. If only one lane
can be accommodated, capturing the first eight packets
(192 SCKI cycles total) from SDO0 provides data for all
analog input channels. As shown in Table 2, full 200ksps
per channel throughput can be achieved with a 90MHz
SCKI frequency in the four lane case, but the maximum
CMOS SCKI frequency of 100MHz limits the throughput
to less than 200ksps per channel in the two lane and one
lane cases. Finally, note that in choosing the number of
lanes and which lanes to use for data capture, the user is
not restricted to the specific cases mentioned above. Other
choices may be more optimal in particular applications.
Programming the SoftSpan Configuration Register in
CMOS I/O Mode
The internal 24-bit SoftSpan configuration register con-
trols the SoftSpan range for all analog input channels of
the LTC2358-18. The default state of this register after
power-up or resetting the device is all ones, configuring
each channel to convert in SoftSpan 7, the ±2.5 VREFBUF
range (see Table 1a). The state of this register may be
modified by providing a new 24-bit SoftSpan configuration
word on SDI during the data transaction window shown
in Figure 16. New SoftSpan configuration words are only
accepted within this recommended data transaction win-
dow, but SoftSpan changes take effect immediately with
no additional analog input settling time required before
starting the next conversion. Setting a channel’s SoftSpan
code to SS[2:0] = 000 immediately disables the channel,
resulting in a corresponding reduction in tCONV on the next
conversion. Similarly, enabling a previously disabled chan-
nel requires no additional analog input settling time before
starting the next conversion. The mapping between the
serial SoftSpan configuration word, the internal SoftSpan
configuration register, and each channel’s 3-bit SoftSpan
code is illustrated in Figure 18.

If fewer than 24 SCKI rising edges are provided during a data
transaction window, the partial word received on SDI will be
ignored and the SoftSpan configuration register will not be
updated. If exactly 24 SCKI rising edges are provided, the
SoftSpan configuration register will be updated to match
the received SoftSpan configuration word, S[23:0]. The
one exception to this behavior occurs when S[23:0] is all
zeros. In this case, the SoftSpan configuration register
will not be updated, allowing applications to retain the
current SoftSpan configuration state by idling SDI low. If
more than 24 SCKI rising edges are provided during a data
transaction window, each complete 24-bit word received
on SDI will be interpreted as a new SoftSpan configuration
word and applied to the SoftSpan configuration register
as described above. Any partial words are ignored.
Typically, applications will update the SoftSpan configura-
tion register in the manner shown in Figures 16 and 17.
After the opening of a new data transaction window at the
falling edge of BUSY, the user supplies a 24-bit SoftSpan
configuration word on SDI during the first 24 SCKI cycles.
This new word overwrites the internal configuration register
contents following the 24th SCKI rising edge. The user then
holds SDI low for the remainder of the data transaction
window causing the register to retain its contents regardless
of the number of additional SCKI cycles applied. SoftSpan
settings may be retained across multiple conversions by
holding SDI low for the entire data transaction window,
regardless of the number of SCKI cycles applied.
Serial LVDS I/O Mode
In LVDS I/O mode, information is transmitted using posi-
tive and negative signal pairs (LVDS+/LVDS) with bits
differentially encoded as (LVDS+ LVDS). These signals
are typically routed using differential transmission lines

are nominally represented by differential +350mV and
350mV, respectively. For clarity, all LVDS timing diagrams
and interface discussions adopt the logical rather than
physical convention.
As shown in Figure 19, in LVDS I/O mode the serial data
bus consists of a serial clock differential input, SCKI, serial
data differential input, SDI, serial clock differential output,
SCKO, and serial data differential output, SDO. Communi-
cation with the LTC2358-18 across this bus occurs during
predefined data transaction windows. Within a window,
the device accepts 24-bit SoftSpan configuration words
for the next conversion on SDI and outputs 24-bit packets
containing conversion results and channel configuration
information from the previous conversion on SDO. New
data transaction windows open 10ms after powering up
or resetting the LTC2358-18, and at the end of each con-
version on the falling edge of BUSY. In the recommended
use case, the data transaction should be completed with
a minimum tQUIET time of 20ns prior to the start of the
next conversion, as shown in Figure 19. New SoftSpan

mended data transaction window, but SoftSpan changes

rising and falling edges on SCKI serially clock conversion
results and analog input channel configuration information

to the data on SDO. Whenever possible, it is recommended
that rising and falling edges of SCKO be used to capture
DDR serial output data on SDO, as this will yield the best
robustness to delay variations over supply and tempera-
ture. SCKI rising and falling edges also latch SoftSpan

Figure20. Internal SoftSpan Configuration Register Behavior. Serial LVDS Bus Response to CS
program the internal 24-bit SoftSpan configuration register.
See the section Programming the SoftSpan Configuration
Register in LVDS I/O Mode for further details. As shown in
Figure 20, the LVDS bus is enabled when CS is low and is
disabled and Hi-Z when CS is high, allowing the bus to be
shared across multiple devices. Due to the high speeds
involved in LVDS signaling, LVDS bus sharing must be
carefully considered. Transmission line limitations imposed
by the shared bus may limit the maximum achievable bus
clock speed. LVDS inputs are internally terminated with a
100Ω differential resistor when CS is low, while outputs
must be differentially terminated with a 100Ω resistor at
the receiver (FPGA). SCKI must idle in the low state in
LVDS I/O mode, including when transitioning CS.
The data on SDO are grouped into 24-bit packets consist-
ing of an 18-bit conversion result, 3-bit analog channel
ID, and 3-bit SoftSpan code, all presented MSB first.
As suggested in Figures 19 and 20, SDO outputs these
packets for all analog input channels in a sequential, cir-
cular manner. For example, the first 24-bit packet output
on SDO corresponds to analog input channel 0, followed
by the packets for channels 1 through 7. The data output
on SDO then wraps back to channel 0, and this pattern
repeats indefinitely.
Serial LVDS Output Data Capture
As shown in Table 2, full 200ksps per channel throughput
can be achieved with a 180MHz SCKI frequency by captur-
ing eight packets (96 SCKI cycles total) of DDR data from
SDO. The LTC2358-18 supports LVDS SCKI frequencies
up to 250MHz.

each channel to convert in SoftSpan 7, the ±2.5 VREFBUF
range (see Table 1a). The state of this register may be
modified by providing a new 24-bit SoftSpan configuration
word on SDI during the data transaction window shown
in Figure 19. New SoftSpan configuration words are only
accepted within this recommended data transaction win-
dow, but SoftSpan changes take effect immediately with
no additional analog input settling time required before
starting the next conversion. Setting a channel’s SoftSpan
code to SS[2:0] = 000 immediately disables the channel,
resulting in a corresponding reduction in tCONV on the next

To obtain the best performance from the LTC2358-18, a
four-layer printed circuit board (PCB) is recommended.
Layout for the PCB should ensure the digital and analog
signal lines are separated as much as possible. In particu-
lar, care should be taken not to run any digital clocks or
signals alongside analog signals or underneath the ADC.
Also minimize the length of the REFBUF to GND (Pin 20)
bypass capacitor return loop, and avoid routing CNV near
signals which could potentially disturb its rising edge.
Supply bypass capacitors should be placed as close as
possible to the supply pins. Low impedance common re-
turns for these bypass capacitors are essential to the low
noise operation of the ADC. A single solid ground plane
is recommended for this purpose. When possible, screen
the analog input traces using ground.

verter, including schematics and PCB layout, please refer

conversion. Similarly, enabling a previously disabled chan-
nel requires no additional analog input settling time before
starting the next conversion. The mapping between the
serial SoftSpan configuration word, the internal SoftSpan
configuration register, and each channel’s 3-bit SoftSpan
code is illustrated in Figure 18.
If fewer than 24 SCKI edges (rising plus falling) are
provided during a data transaction window, the partial
word received on SDI will be ignored and the SoftSpan
configuration register will not be updated. If exactly 24
SCKI edges are provided, the SoftSpan configuration
register will be updated to match the received SoftSpan
configuration word, S[23:0]. The one exception to this
behavior occurs when S[23:0] is all zeros. In this case,
the SoftSpan configuration register will not be updated,
allowing applications to retain the current SoftSpan con-
figuration state by idling SDI low. If more than 24 SCKI
edges are provided during a data transaction window, each
complete 24-bit word received on SDI will be interpreted
as a new SoftSpan configuration word and applied to the
SoftSpan configuration register as described above. Any
partial words are ignored.
Typically, applications will update the SoftSpan configura-
tion register in the manner shown in Figures 19 and 20.
After the opening of a new data transaction window at
the falling edge of BUSY, the user supplies a 24-bit DDR
SoftSpan configuration word on SDI during the first 12
SCKI cycles. This new word overwrites the internal con-
figuration register contents following the 12th SCKI falling
edge. The user then holds SDI low for the remainder of
the data transaction window causing the register to retain
its contents regardless of the number of additional SCKI
cycles applied. SoftSpan settings may be retained across
multiple conversions by holding SDI low for the entire
data transaction window, regardless of the number of
SCKI cycles applied.
