The output is band limited to frequencies above DC to below half the sampling frequency. 2fa + fb, 2fb + fa, 2fa - fb and 2fb - fa. The intermodulation distortion is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of either input tone to the RMS value of the largest 3rd order intermodulation product. Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) Spurious free dynamic range is the peak harmonic or spurious noise that 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. Signal-to-Noise Ratio 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. Input Bandwidth Total Harmonic Distortion Aperture Delay Time Total harmonic distortion 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: The time from when CLK reaches midsupply to the instant that the input signal is held by the sample and hold circuit. 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. The THD calculated in this data sheet uses all the harmonics up to the fifth. Intermodulation Distortion If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can produce intermodulation 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. The 3rd order intermodulation products are The input bandwidth is that input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced by 3dB for a full scale input signal. Aperture Delay Jitter The variation in the aperture delay time from conversion to conversion. This random variation will result in noise when sampling an AC input. The signal to noise ratio due to the jitter alone will be: SNRJITTER = -20log (2 * fIN * tJITTER) Crosstalk Crosstalk is the coupling from one channel (being driven by a full-scale signal) onto the other channel (being driven by a -1dBFS signal). CONVERTER OPERATION As shown in Figure 1, the LTC2281 is a dual CMOS pipelined multistep converter. The converter has six pipelined ADC stages; a sampled analog input will result in a digitized value five cycles later (see the Timing Diagram section). For optimal AC performance the analog inputs should be driven differentially. For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended 2281fb 11 LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION with slightly worse harmonic distortion. The CLK input is single-ended. The LTC2281 has two phases of operation, determined by the state of the CLK input pin. third stage. An identical process is repeated for the third, fourth and fifth stages, resulting in a fifth stage residue that is sent to the sixth stage ADC for final evaluation. Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC, a reconstruction DAC and an interstage residue amplifier. In operation, the ADC quantizes the input to the stage and the quantized value is subtracted from the input by the DAC to produce a residue. The residue is amplified and output by the residue amplifier. Successive stages operate out of phase so that when the odd stages are outputting their residue, the even stages are acquiring that residue and vice versa. Each ADC stage following the first has additional range to accommodate flash and amplifier offset errors. Results from all of the ADC stages are digitally synchronized such that the results can be properly combined in the correction logic before being sent to the output buffer. When CLK is low, the analog input is sampled differentially directly onto the input sample-and-hold capacitors, inside the "Input S/H" shown in the Block Diagram. At the instant that CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input is held. While CLK is high, the held input voltage is buffered by the S/H amplifier which drives the first pipelined ADC stage. The first stage acquires the output of the S/H during this high phase of CLK. When CLK goes back low, the first stage produces its residue which is acquired by the second stage. At the same time, the input S/H goes back to acquiring the analog input. When CLK goes back high, the second stage produces its residue which is acquired by the Figure 2 shows an equivalent circuit for the LTC2281 CMOS differential sample-and-hold. The analog inputs are connected to the sampling capacitors (CSAMPLE) through NMOS transistors. The capacitors shown attached to each input (CPARASITIC) are the summation of all other capacitance associated with each input. SAMPLE/HOLD OPERATION AND INPUT DRIVE Sample/Hold Operation During the sample phase when CLK is low, the transistors connect the analog inputs to the sampling capacitors and they charge to and track the differential input voltage. When CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input voltage is held on the sampling capacitors. During the hold phase when CLK is high, the sampling capacitors are disconnected LTC2281 VDD AIN+ 15 CPARASITIC 1pF VDD AIN- CSAMPLE 3.5pF CSAMPLE 3.5pF 15 CPARASITIC 1pF VDD CLK 2281 F02 Figure 2. Equivalent Input Circuit 2281fb 12 LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION from the input and the held voltage is passed to the ADC core for processing. As CLK transitions from high to low, the inputs are reconnected to the sampling capacitors to acquire a new sample. Since the sampling capacitors still hold the previous sample, a charging glitch proportional to the change in voltage between samples will be seen at this time. If the change between the last sample and the new sample is small, the charging glitch seen at the input will be small. If the input change is large, such as the change seen with input frequencies near Nyquist, then a larger charging glitch will be seen. Single-Ended Input For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended. With a single-ended input the harmonic distortion and INL will degrade, but the SNR and DNL will remain unchanged. For a single-ended input, AIN+ should be driven with the input signal and AIN- should be connected to 1.5V or VCM. Common Mode Bias For optimal performance the analog inputs should be driven differentially. Each input should swing 0.5V for the 2V range or 0.25V for the 1V range, around a common mode voltage of 1.5V. The VCM output pin may be used to provide the common mode bias level. VCM can be tied directly to the center tap of a transformer to set the DC input level or as a reference level to an op amp differential driver circuit. The VCM pin must be bypassed to ground close to the ADC with a 2.2F or greater capacitor. Input Drive Impedance As with all high performance, high speed ADCs, the dynamic performance of the LTC2281 can be influenced by the input drive circuitry, particularly the second and third harmonics. Source impedance and reactance can influence SFDR. At the falling edge of CLK, the sample-and-hold circuit will connect the 3.5pF sampling capacitor to the input pin and start the sampling period. The sampling period ends when CLK rises, holding the sampled input on the sampling capacitor. Ideally the input circuitry should be fast enough to fully charge the sampling capacitor during the sampling period 1/(2FENCODE); however, this is not always possible and the incomplete settling may degrade the SFDR. The sampling glitch has been designed to be as linear as possible to minimize the effects of incomplete settling. For the best performance, it is recommended to have a source impedance of 100 or less for each input. The source impedance should be matched for the differential inputs. Poor matching will result in higher even order harmonics, especially the second. Input Drive Circuits Figure 3 shows the LTC2281 being driven by an RF transformer with a center tapped secondary. The secondary center tap is DC biased with VCM, setting the ADC input signal at its optimum DC level. Terminating on the transformer secondary is desirable, as this provides a common mode path for charging glitches caused by the sample and hold. Figure 3 shows a 1:1 turns ratio transformer. Other turns ratios can be used if the source impedance seen by the ADC does not exceed 100 for each ADC input. A disadvantage of using a transformer is the loss of low frequency response. Most small RF transformers have poor performance at frequencies below 1MHz.

The 25 resistors and 12pF capacitor on the analog inputs serve two purposes: isolating the drive circuitry from the sample-and-hold charging glitches and limiting the wideband noise at the converter input. For input frequencies above 70MHz, the input circuits of Figure 6, 7 and 8 are recommended. The balun transformer gives better high frequency response than a flux coupled center tapped transformer. The coupling capacitors allow the analog inputs to be DC biased at 1.5V. In Figure 8, the series inductors are impedance matching elements that maximize the ADC bandwidth.

The internal voltage reference can be configured for two pin selectable input ranges of 2V (1V differential) or 1V (0.5V differential). Tying the SENSE pin to VDD selects the 2V range; tying the SENSE pin to VCM selects the 1V range. The 1.5V bandgap reference serves two functions: its output provides a DC bias point for setting the common mode voltage of any external input circuitry; additionally, the reference is used with a difference amplifier to generate the differential reference levels needed by the internal ADC circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is required for the 1.5V reference output, VCM. This provides a high frequency low impedance path to ground for internal and external circuitry. LTC2281 1.5V VCM 4W The difference amplifier generates the high and low reference for the ADC. High speed switching circuits are connected to these outputs and they must be externally bypassed. Each output has two pins. The multiple output pins are needed to reduce package inductance. Bypass capacitors must be connected as shown in Figure 9. Each ADC channel has an independent reference with its own bypass capacitors. The two channels can be used with the same or different input ranges. Other voltage ranges between the pin selectable ranges can be programmed with two external resistors as shown in Figure 10. An external reference can be used by applying its output directly or through a resistor divider to SENSE. It is not recommended to drive the SENSE pin with a logic device. The SENSE pin should be tied to the appropriate level as close to the converter as possible. If the SENSE pin is driven externally, it should be bypassed to ground as close to the device as possible with a 1F ceramic capacitor. For the best channel matching, connect an external reference to SENSEA and SENSEB. 1.5V BANDGAP REFERENCE 1.5V 2.2F 1V 0.5V VCM 2.2F 12k TIE TO VDD FOR 2V RANGE; TIE TO VCM FOR 1V RANGE; RANGE = 2 * VSENSE FOR 0.5V < VSENSE < 1V RANGE DETECT AND CONTROL 0.75V 12k 1F SENSE 2281 F10 BUFFER Figure 10. 1.5V Range ADC INTERNAL ADC HIGH REFERENCE 1F REFH 2.2F LTC2281 SENSE 0.1F Input Range The input range can be set based on the application.

Equivalent Reference Circuit Driving the Clock Input The CLK inputs can be driven directly with a CMOS or TTL level signal. A sinusoidal clock can also be used along with a low jitter squaring circuit before the CLK pin (Figure 11). 2281fb 15 LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CLEAN SUPPLY 4.7F SINUSOIDAL CLOCK INPUT FERRITE BEAD FERRITE BEAD 0.1F 0.1F 1k 0.1F CLEAN SUPPLY 4.7F CLK LTC2281 CLK LTC2281 100 50 1k NC7SVU04 2281 F11 2281 F12 IF LVDS USE FIN1002 OR FIN1018. FOR PECL, USE AZ1000ELT21 OR SIMILAR Figure 11. Sinusoidal Single-Ended CLK Drive The noise performance of the LTC2281 can depend on the clock signal quality as much as on the analog input. Any noise present on the clock signal will result in additional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the inherent ADC aperture jitter. In applications where jitter is critical, such as when digitizing high input frequencies, use as large an amplitude as possible. Also, if the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal signal, filter the CLK signal to reduce wideband noise and distortion products generated by the source. It is recommended that CLKA and CLKB are shorted together and driven by the same clock source. If a small time delay is desired between when the two channels sample the analog inputs, CLKA and CLKB can be driven by two different signals. If this delay exceeds 1ns, the performance of the part may degrade. CLKA and CLKB should not be driven by asynchronous signals. Figures 12 and 13 show alternatives for converting a differential clock to the single-ended CLK input. The use of a transformer provides no incremental contribution to phase noise. The LVDS or PECL to CMOS translators provide little degradation below 70MHz, but at 140MHz will degrade the SNR compared to the transformer solution. The nature of the received signals also has a large bearing on how much SNR degradation will be experienced. For high crest factor signals such as WCDMA or OFDM, where the nominal power level must be at least 6dB to 8dB below full scale, the use of these translators will have a lesser impact. Figure 12. CLK Drive Using an LVDS or PECL to CMOS Converter ETC1-1T CLK LTC2281 5pF-30pF DIFFERENTIAL CLOCK INPUT 2281 F13 0.1F FERRITE BEAD VCM Figure 13. LVDS or PECL CLK Drive Using a Transformer The transformer in the example may be terminated with the appropriate termination for the signaling in use. The use of a transformer with a 1:4 impedance ratio may be desirable in cases where lower voltage differential signals are considered. The center tap may be bypassed to ground through a capacitor close to the ADC if the differential signals originate on a different plane. The use of a capacitor at the input may result in peaking, and depending on transmission line length may require a 10 to 20 ohm series resistor to act as both a low pass filter for high frequency noise that may be induced into the clock line by neighboring digital signals, as well as a damping mechanism for reflections. Maximum and Minimum Conversion Rates The maximum conversion rate for the LTC2281 is 125Msps. The lower limit of the LTC2281 sample rate is determined by droop of the sample-and-hold circuits. The pipelined architecture of this ADC relies on storing analog signals on 2281fb 16 LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION small valued capacitors. Junction leakage will discharge the capacitors. The specified minimum operating frequency for the LTC2281 is 1Msps. Clock Duty Cycle Stabilizer An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit ensures high performance even if the input clock has a non 50% duty cycle. Using the clock duty cycle stabilizer is recommended for most applications. To use the clock duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin should be connected to 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD using external resistors. This circuit uses the rising edge of the CLK pin to sample the analog input. The falling edge of CLK is ignored and the internal falling edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The input clock duty cycle can vary from 40% to 60% and the clock duty cycle stabilizer will maintain a constant 50% internal duty cycle. If the clock is turned off for a long period of time, the duty cycle stabilizer circuit will require a hundred clock cycles for the PLL to lock onto the input clock. For applications where the sample rate needs to be changed quickly, the clock duty cycle stabilizer can be disabled. If the duty cycle stabilizer is disabled, care should be taken to make the sampling clock have a 50% (5%) duty cycle. Digital Output Buffers Figure 14 shows an equivalent circuit for a single output buffer. Each buffer is powered by OVDD and OGND, isolated from the ADC power and ground. The additional N-channel transistor in the output driver allows operation down to low voltages. The internal resistor in series with the output makes the output appear as 50 to external circuitry and may eliminate the need for external damping resistors. As with all high speed/high resolution converters, the digital output loading can affect the performance. The digital outputs of the LTC2281 should drive a minimal capacitive load to avoid possible interaction between the digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. For full speed operation the capacitive load should be kept under 10pF. Lower OVDD voltages will also help reduce interference from the digital outputs.

Digital Output Buffer Data Format Using the MODE pin, the LTC2281 parallel digital output can be selected for offset binary or 2's complement format. Connecting MODE to GND or 1/3VDD selects offset binary output format. Connecting MODE to 2/3VDD or VDD selects 2's complement output format. An external resistor divider can be used to set the 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD logic values. Table 2 shows the logic states for the MODE pin. 2281fb 17 LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Sleep and Nap Modes Table 2. MODE Pin Function OUTPUT FORMAT CLOCK DUTY CYCLE STABILIZER 0 Offset Binary Off 1/3VDD Offset Binary On 2/3VDD 2's Complement On VDD 2's Complement Off MODE PIN Overflow Bit When OF outputs a logic high the converter is either overranged or underranged on channel A or channel B. Note that both channels share a common OF pin, which is not the case for slower pin compatible parts such as the LTC2280 or LTC2289. OF is disabled when channel A is in sleep or nap mode. Output Clock The ADC has a delayed version of the CLKB input available as a digital output, CLKOUT. The falling edge of the CLKOUT pin can be used to latch the digital output data. CLKOUT is disabled when channel B is in sleep or nap mode. Output Driver Power Separate output power and ground pins allow the output drivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The power supply for the digital output buffers, OVDD, should be tied to the same power supply as for the logic being driven. For example, if the converter is driving a DSP powered by a 1.8V supply, then OVDD should be tied to that same 1.8V supply. OVDD can be powered with any voltage from 500mV up to 3.6V. OGND can be powered with any voltage from GND up to 1V and must be less than OVDD. The logic outputs will swing between OGND and OVDD. Output Enable The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin, OE. OE high disables all data outputs including OF. The data access and bus relinquish times are too slow to allow the outputs to be enabled and disabled during full speed operation. The output Hi-Z state is intended for use during long periods of inactivity. Channels A and B have independent output enable pins (OEA, OEB). The converter may be placed in shutdown or nap modes to conserve power. Connecting SHDN to GND results in normal operation. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to VDD results in sleep mode, which powers down all circuitry including the reference and typically dissipates 1mW. When exiting sleep mode it will take milliseconds for the output data to become valid because the reference capacitors have to recharge and stabilize. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to GND results in nap mode, which typically dissipates 30mW. In nap mode, the on-chip reference circuit is kept on, so that recovery from nap mode is faster than that from sleep mode, typically taking 100 clock cycles. In both sleep and nap modes, all digital outputs are disabled and enter the Hi-Z state. Channels A and B have independent SHDN pins (SHDNA, SHDNB). Channel A is controlled by SHDNA and OEA, and Channel B is controlled by SHDNB and OEB. The nap, sleep and output enable modes of the two channels are completely independent, so it is possible to have one channel operating while the other channel is in nap or sleep mode. Digital Output Multiplexer The digital outputs of the LTC2281 can be multiplexed onto a single data bus if the sample rate is 80Msps or less. The MUX pin is a digital input that swaps the two data busses. If MUX is High, Channel A comes out on DA0-DA9; Channel B comes out on DB0-DB9. If MUX is Low, the output busses are swapped and Channel A comes out on DB0-DB9; Channel B comes out on DA0-DA9. To multiplex both channels onto a single output bus, connect MUX, CLKA and CLKB together (see the Timing Diagram for the multiplexed mode). The multiplexed data is available on either data bus--the unused data bus can be disabled with its OE pin. Grounding and Bypassing The LTC2281 requires a printed circuit board with a clean, unbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an internal ground plane is recommended. Layout for the printed circuit board should ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated as much as possible. In particular, care 2281fb 18 LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION should be taken not to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track or underneath the ADC. High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used at the VDD, OVDD, VCM, REFH, and REFL pins. Bypass capacitors must be located as close to the pins as possible. Of particular importance is the 0.1F capacitor between REFH and REFL. This capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible (1.5mm or less). A size 0402 ceramic capacitor is recommended. The large 2.2F capacitor between REFH and REFL can be somewhat further away. The traces connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be kept short and should be made as wide as possible. The LTC2281 differential inputs should run parallel and close to each other. The input traces should be as short as possible to minimize capacitance and to minimize noise pickup. Heat Transfer Most of the heat generated by the LTC2281 is transferred from the die through the bottom-side Exposed Pad and package leads onto the printed circuit board. For good electrical and thermal performance, the Exposed Pad should be soldered to a large grounded pad on the PC board. It is critical that all ground pins are connected to a ground plane of sufficient area. Clock Sources for Undersampling Undersampling is especially demanding on the clock source, and the higher the input frequency, the greater the sensitivity to clock jitter or phase noise. A clock source that degrades SNR of a full-scale signal by 1dB at 70MHz will degrade SNR by 3dB at 140MHz, and 4.5dB at 190MHz. In cases where absolute clock frequency accuracy is relatively unimportant and only a single ADC is required, a 3V canned oscillator from vendors such as Saronix or Vectron can be placed close to the ADC and simply connected directly to the ADC. If there is any distance to the ADC, some source termination to reduce ringing that may occur even over a fraction of an inch is advisable. You must not allow the clock to overshoot the supplies or performance will suffer. Do not filter the clock signal with a narrow band filter unless you have a sinusoidal clock source, as the rise and fall time artifacts present in typical digital clock signals will be translated into phase noise. The lowest phase noise oscillators have single-ended sinusoidal outputs, and for these devices the use of a filter close to the ADC may be beneficial. This filter should be close to the ADC to both reduce roundtrip reflection times, as well as reduce the susceptibility of the traces between the filter and the ADC. If the circuit is sensitive to closein phase noise, the power supply for oscillators and any buffers must be very stable, or propagation delay variation with supply will translate into phase noise. Even though these clock sources may be regarded as digital devices, do not operate them on a digital supply. If your clock is also used to drive digital devices such as an FPGA, you should locate the oscillator, and any clock fan-out devices close to the ADC, and give the routing to the ADC precedence. The clock signals to the FPGA should have series termination at the driver to prevent high frequency noise from the FPGA disturbing the substrate of the clock fan-out device. If you use an FPGA as a programmable divider, you must re-time the signal using the original oscillator, and the re-timing flip-flop as well as the oscillator should be close to the ADC, and powered with a very quiet supply. For cases where there are multiple ADCs, or where the clock source originates some distance away, differential clock distribution is advisable. This is advisable both from the perspective of EMI, but also to avoid receiving noise from digital sources both radiated, as well as propagated in the waveguides that exist between the layers of multilayer PCBs. The differential pairs must be close together and distanced from other signals. The differential pair should be guarded on both sides with copper distanced at least 3x the distance between the traces, and grounded with vias no more than 1/4 inch apart. 2281fb 19 ASSEMBLY TYPE DC1098A-A DC1098A-B DC1098A-C DC1098A-D DC1098A-E DC1098A-F 5 4 C15 0.1F VCMA C7 0.1F C3 0.1F BITS 10 12 14 10 12 14 + 4 5 Msps 125 125 125 125 125 125 C45 100F 6.3V OPT J4 R17 ANALOG OPT INPUT B R15 3 1k U3 NC7SVU04 2 R10 1k U1 LTC2281IUP LTC2283IUP LTC2285IUP LTC2281IUP LTC2283IUP LTC2285IUP R14 49.9 C19 0.1F C12 4.7F 6.3V VCM 4 2 2 1 *3 5 4 E5 PWR GND E3 VDD 3V C52 0.1F C40 0.1F C6, C31 12pF 12pF 12pF 8pF 8pF 8pF C34 0.1F R24 * E2 EXT REF B VCMB VDD OVDD C53 0.1F QDVDD C41 0.1F VDD VCM VDD 4 2 C54 0.1F U1 LTC2281 E4 GND C35 0.1F C28 2.2F DA3 DA2 DA1 DA0 NC NC NC NC CLKOUT DB9 DB8 DB7 DB6 DB5 DB4 DB3 U13 VDD LT1761ES5-BYP 1 5 OUT IN 3 C51 BYP 1F 4 ADJ GND 2 C25 0.1F 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 C49 0.01F OVDD C37 10F 6.3V R41 100k R40 105k C50 10F 6.3V QDVDD R25 105k R25 105k OVDD C5 0.1F C38 0.01F OVDD U12 VDD LT1761ES5-BYP 1 5 OUT IN 3 C39 BYP 1F 4 ADJ GND 2 INPUT FREQUENCY 1MHz < AIN < 70MHz 1MHz < AIN < 70MHz 1MHz < AIN < 70MHz 70MHz < AIN < 140MHz 70MHz < AIN < 140MHz 70MHz < AIN < 140MHz C55 0.1F C48 0.1F EXT REF 5 6 3 1 C2 2.2F C27 0.1F JP3 SENSEB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 AINA+ AINA- REFHA REFHA REFLA REFLA VDD CLKA CLKB VDD REFLB REFLB REFHB REFHB AINB- AINB+ C1 0.1F VDD C47 0.1F C21 0.1F C11 0.1F C4 0.1F VCMB 8 6 4 T1, T2 MABAES0060 MABAES0060 MABAES0060 MABA-007159-000000 MABA-007159-000000 MABA-007159-000000 C31 * C23 1F R22 24.9 2 GND 1/3VDD 2/3VDD C20 2.2F C18 1F *3 7 5 3 C10 2.2F C9 1F R3 1k R2 1k C13 1F R20 24.9 R18 * R39 1k VDD C6 * 1 R23 51 T2 * VDD R5, R9, R18, R24 24.9 24.9 24.9 12.4 12.4 12.4 * R9 * R7 24.9 C17 0.1F R32 OPT C44 0.1F R6 24.9 R5 * C8 0.1F VDD C14 0.1F C36 4.7F VCMB C33 0.1F C29 0.1F R8 51 VDD * T1 * EXT REF 5 6 3 1 R1 1k 2 12 B2 QDVDD 13 25 19 22 10 9 7 8 6 5 3 4 22 10 9 7 8 5 6 4 3 12 QDVDD 13 25 11 12 13 25 4 U4 NC7SV86P5X U11 1 24 23 FXLH42245MPX VCCA VCCB VCCB 21 B0 A0 20 B1 A1 19 B2 A2 18 B3 A3 EXPOSED 17 A4 B4 PAD 16 B5 A5 15 B6 A6 14 B7 A7 2 T/R OE GND GND GND GND OVDD 11 QDVDD 13 25 2 14 15 16 17 18 U10 1 24 23 FXLH42245MPX VCCA VCCB VCCB 21 B0 A0 20 B1 A1 19 A2 B2 18 B3 A3 EXPOSED 17 A4 B4 PAD 16 B5 A5 15 B6 A6 14 B7 A7 2 T/R OE GND GND GND GND 12 OVDD 11 B3 A3 EXPOSED 7 A4 B4 PAD 8 B5 A5 9 B6 A6 10 B7 A7 22 T/R OE GND GND GND GND 6 A2 OVDD 11 GND GND GND GND U9 1 24 23 FXLH42245MPX VCCA VCCB VCCB 21 3 B0 A0 20 4 B1 A1 5 22 10 9 7 8 6 5 3 4 QDVDD OVDD U2 1 24 23 FXLH42245MPX R42 VCCA VCCB VCCB 1k 21 B0 A0 20 B1 A1 19 A2 B2 18 B3 A3 EXPOSED 17 A4 B4 PAD 16 B5 A5 15 B6 A6 14 B7 A7 2 T/R OE OVDD 3 5 1 2 QDVDD C24 0.1F R35 100k U5 24LC025 25 27 29 31 33 35 30 32 34 36 61 1 A0 2 A1 3 A2 4 A3 C46 0.1F R34 4.7k 100 98 94 96 8 VCC 7 WP 6 SCL 5 SDA R36 4.99k 99 97 93 95 91 83 85 87 89 84 86 88 90 92 75 77 79 81 71 73 67 69 76 78 80 82 72 74 68 70 63 65 59 62 64 66 60 55 57 53 54 56 58 45 47 49 51 46 48 50 52 37 39 41 43 23 38 40 42 44 21 26 28 17 19 18 20 24 15 16 22 7 9 11 13 1 3 5 J1 EDGE-CON-100 8 10 12 14 2 4 6 ENABLE SDA VCCIN SCL VSS R38 4.99k R37 4.99k R33 QDVDD 4.7k 2281 AI01 SDA SCL VSS VCCIN APPLICATIONS INFORMATION *VERSION TABLE J3 CLOCK INPUT VDD L1 BEAD J2 ANALOG R4 INPUT A OPT VCMA E1 EXT REF A VDD VDD JP2 SENSEA VDD JP1 MODE 1 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 GND VDD SENSEA VCMA MODE SHDNA OEA OF DA9 DA8 DA7 DA6 DA5 DA4 OGND OVDD GND VDD SENSEB VCMB MUX SHDNB OEB NC NC NC NC DB0 DB1 DB2 OGND OVDD 20 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 VDD Evaluation Circuit Schematic of the LTC2281 LTC2281 2281fb LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Silkscreen Top Top Side 2281fb 21 LTC2281 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inner Layer 2 GND Inner Layer 3 Power Bottom Side 2281fb 22 LTC2281 PACKAGE DESCRIPTION UP Package 64-Lead Plastic QFN (9mm x 9mm) (Reference LTC DWG # 05-08-1705) 0.70 0.05 7.15 0.05 7.50 REF 8.10 0.05 9.50 0.05 (4 SIDES) 7.15 0.05 PACKAGE OUTLINE 0.25 0.05 0.50 BSC RECOMMENDED SOLDER PAD PITCH AND DIMENSIONS APPLY SOLDER MASK TO AREAS THAT ARE NOT SOLDERED 9 .00 0.10 (4 SIDES) 0.75 0.05 R = 0.10 TYP R = 0.115 TYP 63 64 0.40 0.10 PIN 1 TOP MARK (SEE NOTE 5) 1 2 PIN 1 CHAMFER C = 0.35 7.15 0.10 7.50 REF (4-SIDES) 7.15 0.10 (UP64) QFN 0406 REV C 0.200 REF 0.00 - 0.05 NOTE: 1.
