The LTC
®
1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L are
10-bit A/D converters with sampling rates up to 500kHz.
They have 2.7V (L) and 5V versions and are offered in
8-pin MSOP and SO packages. Power dissipation is typi-
cally only 2.2mW at 2.7V (25mW at 5V) during full speed
operation. The automatic power down reduces supply
current linearly as sample rate is reduced. These 10-bit,
switched-capacitor, successive approximation ADCs in-
clude a sample-and-hold. The LTC1197/LTC1197L have a
differential analog input with an adjustable reference pin.
The LTC1199/LTC1199L offer a software-selectable
2-channel MUX.
The 3-wire serial I/O, MSOP and SO-8 packages, 2.7V
operation and extremely high sample rate-to-power ratio
make these ADCs ideal choices for compact, low power
high speed systems.
These circuits can be used in ratiometric applications or
with external references. The high impedance analog
inputs and the ability to operate with reduced spans below
1V full scale (LTC1197/LTC1197L) allow direct connec-
tion to signal sources in many applications, eliminating
the need for gain stages.

LTC1199/LTC1199L
OVERVIEW
The LTC1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L are 10-bit
switched-capacitor A/D converters. These sampling ADCs
typically draw 5mA of supply current when sampling up to
500kHz (800µA at 2.7V sampling up to 250kHz). Supply
current drops linearly as the sample rate is reduced (see
Supply Current vs Sample Rate in the Typical Perfor-
mance Characteristics). The ADCs automatically power
down when not performing a conversion, drawing only
leakage current. They are packaged in 8-pin MSOP and SO
packages. The LTC1197L/LTC1199L operate on a single
supply ranging from 2.7V to 4V. The LTC1197 operates on
a single supply ranging from 4V to 9V while the LTC1199
operates from 4V to 6V.
These ADCs contain a 10-bit, switched-capacitor ADC, a
sample-and-hold and a serial port (see Block Diagram).
Although they share the same basic design, the LTC1197/
LTC1197L and LTC1199/LTC1199L differ in some re-
spects. The LTC1197/LTC1197L have a differential input
and have an external reference input pin. They can mea-
sure signals floating on a DC common mode voltage and
can operate with reduced spans down to 200mV. Reduc-
ing the span allows it to achieve 200µV resolution. The
LTC1199/LTC1199L have a 2-channel input multiplexer
with the reference connected to the supply (V
CC
) pin. They
can convert the input voltage of either channel with re-
spect to ground or the difference between the voltages of
the two channels.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The LTC1199/LTC1199L communicate with microproces-
sors and other external circuitry via a synchronous, half
duplex, 4-wire serial interface while the LTC1197/
LTC1197L use a 3-wire interface (see Operating Sequence
in Figures 1 and 2). These interfaces are compatible with
both SPI and MICROWIRE protocols without requiring any
additional glue logic (see MICROPROCESSOR INTER-
FACES: Motorola SPI).
DATA TRANSFER
The CLK synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being
transmitted and captured on the rising CLK edge in both
transmitting and receiving systems. The LTC1199/
LTC1199L first receives input data and then transmits
back the A/D conversion result (half duplex). Because of
the half-duplex operation, D
IN
and D
OUT
may be tied
together allowing transmission over just three wires: CS,
CLK and DATA (D
IN
/D
OUT
).
Data transfer is initiated by a falling chip select (CS) signal.
After CS falls the LTC1199/LTC1199L look for a start bit on
the D
IN
input. After the start bit is received, the 3-bit input
word is shifted into the D
IN
input which configures the
LTC1199/LTC1199L and starts the conversion. After two
null bits, the result of the conversion is output on the D
OUT
line in MSB-first format. At the end of the data exchange
CS should be brought high. This resets the LTC1199/
LTC1199L in preparation for the next data exchange.
Bringing CS high after the conversion also minimizes
supply current if CLK is left running.

pin are then ignored until the next CS cycle.
Multiplexer (MUX) Address
The bits of the input word following the start bit assign the
MUX configuration for the requested conversion. For a
given channel selection, the converter will measure the
voltage between the two channels indicated by the “+” and
“–” signs in the selected row of the following table. In
single-ended mode, all input channels are measured with
respect to GND. Only the + inputs have sample-and-holds.
Signals applied at the – inputs must not change more than
the required accuracy during the conversion.

The LTC1197/LTC1197L do not require a configuration
input word and have no D
IN
pin. A falling CS initiates data
transfer as shown in the LTC1197/LTC1197L operating
sequence. After CS falls, the second CLK pulse enables
D
OUT
. After two null bits, the A/D conversion result is output
on the D
OUT
line in MSB-first format. Bringing CS high
resets the LTC1197/LTC1197L for the next data exchange
and minimizes the supply current if CLK is continuously
running.

The dummy bit is a placeholder that extends the acquisi-

does not affect the conversion of the ADC.
Operation with D

Tied Together
The LTC1199/LTC1199L can be operated with D
IN
and
D
OUT
tied together. This eliminates one of the lines
required to communicate to the microprocessor (MPU).
Data is transmitted in both directions on a single wire. The
processor pin connected to this data line should be
configurable as either an input or an output. The LTC1199/
LTC1199L will take control of the data line and drive it low
on the 4th falling CLK edge after the start bit is received
(see Figure 3). Therefore the processor port line must be
switched to an input before this happens to avoid a
conflict.
In the Typical Applications section, there is an example of
interfacing the LTC1199/LTC1199L with D
IN
and D
OUT
tied together to the Intel 8051 MPU.

ACHIEVING MICROPOWER PERFORMANCE
With typical operating currents of 5mA (LTC1197/
LTC1199) at 5V and 0.8mA (LTC1197L/LTC1199L) at
2.7V it is possible for these ADCs to achieve true
micropower performance by taking advantage of the
automatic shutdown between conversions. In systems

LTC1197/LTC1197L
LTC1199/LTC1199L
Lower Supply Voltage
For lower supply voltages, LTC offers the LTC1197L/
LTC1199L. These pin compatible devices offer specified
performance to 2.7V supplies.
OPERATING ON OTHER THAN 5V SUPPLIES
The LTC1197 operates from 4V to 9V supplies and the
LTC1199 operates from 4V to 6V supplies. The LTC1197L/
LTC1199L operate from 2.7V to 4V supplies. To use these
parts at other than 5V supplies a few things must be kept
in mind.
Bypassing
At higher supply voltages, bypass capacitors on V
CC
and
V
REF
if applicable, need to be increased beyond what is
necessary for 5V. For a 9V supply a 10µF tantalum in
parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic is recommended.
Input Logic Levels
The input logic levels of CS, CLK and D
IN
are made to meet
TTL threshold levels on a 5V supply. When the supply
voltage varies, the input logic levels also change. For the
ADC to sample and convert correctly, the digital inputs
have to meet logic low and high levels relative to the
operating supply voltage (see typical curve of Digital Input
Logic Threshold vs Supply Voltage). If achieving mi-
cropower consumption is desirable, the digital inputs
must go rail-to-rail between V
CC
and ground (see ACHIEV-
ING MICROPOWER PERFORMANCE section).
Clock Frequency
The maximum recommended clock frequency is 7.2MHz
for the LTC1197/LTC1199 running off a 5V supply and
3.5MHz for the LTC1197L/LTC1199L running off a 2.7V
supply. With the supply voltage changing, the maximum
clock frequency for the devices also changes (see the
typical curve of Maximum Clock Rate vs Supply Voltage).
If the maximum clock frequency is used, care must be
taken to ensure that the device converts correctly.
that convert continuously, the LTC1197/LTC1197L/
LTC1199/LTC1199L will draw their normal operating power
continuously. Several things must be taken into account
to achieve micropower operation.
Shutdown
Figures 1 and 2 show the operating sequence of the
LTC1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L. The converter
draws power when the CS pin is low and powers itself
down when that pin is high. If the CS pin is not taken all the
way to ground when it is low and not taken to V
CC
when it
is high, the input buffers of the converter will draw current.
This current may be tens of microamps. It is worthwhile to
bring the CS pin all the way to ground when it is low and
all the way to V
CC
when it is high to obtain the lowest
supply current.
When the CS pin is high (= supply voltage), the converter
is in shutdown mode and draws only leakage current. The
status of the D
IN
and CLK inputs have no effect on supply
current during this time. There is no need to stop D
IN
and
CLK with CS = high, except the MPU may benefit.
Minimize CS Low Time
In systems that have significant time between conver-
sions, lowest power drain will occur with the minimum CS
low time. Bringing CS low, transferring data as quickly as
possible, and then returning CS high will result in the
lowest possible current drain. This minimizes the amount
of time the device draws power. Even though the device
draws more power at high clock rates, the net power is less
because the device is on for a shorter time.
D
OUT
Loading
Capacitive loading on the digital output can increase
power consumption. A 100pF capacitor on the D
OUT
pin
can add 200µA to the supply current at a 7.2MHz clock
frequency. The extra 200µA goes into charging and dis-
charging the load capacitor. The same goes for digital lines
driven at a high frequency by any logic. The C V • f currents
must be evaluated and the troublesome ones minimized.

Mixed Supplies
It is possible to have a microprocessor running off a 5V
supply and communicate with the ADC operating on 3V or
9V supplies. The requirement to achieve this is that the
outputs of CS, CLK and D
IN
from the MPU have to be able
to trip the equivalent inputs of the ADC and the output of
the ADC must be able to toggle the equivalent input of the
MPU (see typical curve of Digital Input Logic Threshold vs
Supply Voltage). With the LTC1197 operating on a 9V
supply, the output of D
OUT
may go between 0V and 9V. The
9V output may damage the MPU running off a 5V supply.
The way to solve this problem is to have a resistor divider
on D
OUT
(Figure 4) and connect the center point to the
MPU input. It should be noted that to get full shutdown, the
CS input of the ADC must be driven to the V
CC
voltage. This
would require adding a level shift circuit to the CS signal
in Figure 4.
SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
The LTC1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L provide a
built-in sample-and-hold (S/H) function to acquire sig-
nals. The S/H of the LTC1197/LTC1197L acquires input
signals for the “+” input relative to the “–” input during the
t
SMPL
time (see Figure 1). However the S /H of the LTC1199/
LTC1199L can sample input signals from the “+” input
relative to ground and from the “–” input relative to ground
in addition to acquiring signals from the “+” input relative
to the “–” input (see Figure 5) during t
SMPL
.
Single-Ended Inputs
The sample-and-hold of the LTC1199/LTC1199L allows
conversion of rapidly varying signals. The input voltage is
sampled during the t
SMPL
time as shown in Figure 5. The
sampling interval begins as the ODD/SGN bit is shifted in
and continues until the falling CLK edge after the dummy
bit is received. On this falling edge, the S/H goes into hold
mode and the conversion begins.
Differential Inputs
With differential inputs, the ADC no longer converts just a
single voltage but rather the difference between two volt-
ages. In this case, the voltage on the selected “+” input is
still sampled and held and therefore may be rapidly time
varying just as in single-ended mode. However, the volt-
age on the selected “–” input must remain constant and be
free of noise and ripple throughout the conversion time.
Otherwise, the differencing operation may not be per-
formed accurately. The conversion time is 10.5 CLK cycles.
Therefore, a change in the “–” input voltage during this
interval can cause conversion errors. For a sinusoidal

BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L should be
used with an analog ground plane and single point ground-
ing techniques. The GND pin should be tied directly to the
ground plane. The V
CC
pin should be bypassed to the
ground plane using a 1µF tantalum capacitor with leads as
short as possible. All analog inputs should be referenced
directly to the single point ground. Digital inputs and
outputs should be shielded from and/or routed away from
the reference and analog circuitry.

ANALOG INPUTS
Because of the capacitive redistribution A/D conversion
techniques used, the analog inputs of the LTC1197/
LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L have capacitive switching
input current spikes. These current spikes settle quickly
and do not cause a problem if source resistances are less
than 200 or high speed op amps are used (e.g., the
LT
®
1224, LT1191, LT1226 or LT1215). However, if large
source resistances are used or if slow settling op amps
drive the inputs, take care to ensure that the transients
caused by the current spikes settle completely before the
conversion begins.
“+” Input Settling
The input capacitor of the LTC1197/LTC1197L is switched
onto the “+” input in the falling edge of CS and the sample
time continues until the second falling CLK edge (see
Figure 1). However, the input capacitor of the LTC1199/
LTC1199L is switched onto “+” input after ODD/SGN is
clocked into the ADC and remains there until the fourth
falling CLK edge (see Figure 5). The sample time is 1.5 CLK
cycles before conversion starts. The voltage on the “+”
Figure 6. Analog Equivalent Circuit
input must settle completely within t
SMPL
for the ADC to
perform an accurate conversion. Minimizing R
SOURCE+
and C1 will improve the input settling time (see Figure 6).
If a large “+” input source resistance must be used, the
sample time can be increased by using a slower CLK
frequency.
“–” Input Settling
At the end of t
SMPL
, the input capacitor switches to the
“–” input and conversion starts (see Figures 1 and 5).
During the conversion the “+” input voltage is effectively
“held” by the sample-and-hold and will not affect the

conversion result. However, it is critical that the “–” input
voltage settles completely during the first CLK cycle of the
conversion time and be free of noise. Minimizing R
SOURCE
and C2 will improve settling time (see Figure 6). If a large
“–” input source resistance must be used, the time allowed
for settling can be extended by using a slower CLK
frequency.
Input Op Amps
When driving the analog inputs with an op amp it is
important that the op amp settle within the allowed time
(see Figure 5). Again, the “+” and “–” input sampling times
can be extended as described above to accommodate
slower op amps. High speed op amps such as the LT1224,
LT1191, LT1226 or LT1215 can be made to settle well even
with the minimum settling window of 200ns which occurs
at the maximum clock rate of 7.2MHz.
Source Resistance
The analog inputs of the LTC1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/
LTC1199L look like a 20pF capacitor (C
IN
) in series with a
200 resistor (R
ON
) as shown in Figure 6. C
IN
gets
switched between the selected “+” and “–” inputs once
during each conversion cycle. Large external source resis-
tors and capacitors will slow the settling of the inputs. It is
important that the overall RC time constants be short
enough to allow the analog inputs to completely settle
within the allowed time.
RC Input Filtering
It is possible to filter the inputs with an RC network as
shown in Figure 7. For large values of C
F
(e.g., 1µF), the
capacitive input switching currents are averaged into a net
DC current. Therefore, a filter should be chosen with a
small resistor and large capacitor to prevent DC drops
across the resistor. The magnitude of the DC current is
approximately I
DC
= 20pF(V
IN
/t
CYC
) and is roughly pro-
portional to V
IN
. When running at the minimum cycle time
of 2µs, the input current equals 50µA at V
IN
= 5V. In this
case a filter resistor of 10 will cause 0.1LSB of full-scale
error. If a larger filter resistor must be used, errors can be
eliminated by increasing the cycle time.
Input Leakage Current
Input leakage currents can also create errors if the source
resistance gets too large. For instance, the maximum
input leakage specification of 1µA (at 85°C) flowing through
a source resistance of 1k will cause a voltage drop of 1mV
or 0.2LSB. This error will be much reduced at lower
temperatures because leakage drops rapidly (see typical
curve of Input Channel Leakage Current vs Temperature).
REFERENCE INPUTS
The voltage on the reference input of the LTC1197/
LTC1197L defines the voltage span of the A/D converter.
The reference input transient capacitive switching cur-
rents are due to the switched-capacitor conversion tech-
nique used in these ADCs (see Figure 8). During
each bit
test of the conversion (every CLK cycle), a capacitive
current spike will be generated on the reference pin by the
ADC. These current spikes settle quickly and do not cause
a problem.
Reduced Reference Operation
The minimum reference voltage of the LTC1199 is 4V and
the minimum reference voltage of the LTC1199L is 2.7V
because the V
CC
supply and reference are internally tied
together. However, the LTC1197/LTC1197L can operate
with reference voltages below 1V.

LTC1197/LTC1197L
LTC1199/LTC1199L
The effective resolution of the LTC1197/LTC1197L can be
increased by reducing the input span of the converter. The
LTC1197/LTC1197L exhibits good linearity and gain over
a wide range of reference voltages (see typical curves of
Linearity and Full-Scale Error vs Reference Voltage). How-
ever, care must be taken when operating at low values of
V
REF
because of the reduced LSB step size and the
resulting higher accuracy requirement placed on the con-
verter. The following factors must be considered when
operating at low V
REF
values.
1. Offset
2. Noise
3. Conversion speed (CLK frequency)
Offset with Reduced V
REF
The offset of the LTC1197/LTC1197L has a larger effect on
the output code when the ADC is operated with reduced
reference voltage. The offset (which is typically a fixed
voltage) becomes a larger fraction of an LSB as the size of
the LSB is reduced. The typical curve of LTC1197 Offset
Error vs Reference Voltage shows how offset in LSBs is
related to reference voltage for a typical value of V
OS
. For
example, a V
OS
of 1mV which is 0.2LSB with a 5V reference
becomes 1LSB with a 1V reference and 5LSBs with a 0.2V
reference. If this offset is unacceptable, it can be corrected
digitally by the receiving system or by offsetting the “–”
input of the LTC1197/LTC1197L.
Noise with Reduced V
REF
The total input referred noise of the LTC1197/LTC1197L
can be reduced to approximately 200µV peak-to-peak
using a ground plane, good bypassing, good layout tech-
niques and minimizing noise on the reference inputs. This
noise is insignificant with a 5V reference but will become
a larger fraction of an LSB as the size of the LSB is reduced.
For operation with a 5V reference, the 200µV noise is
only 0.04LSB peak-to-peak. In this case, the LTC1197/
LTC1197L noise will contribute virtually no uncertainty
to the output code. However, for reduced references, the
noise may become a significant fraction of an LSB and
cause undesirable jitter in the output code. For example,
with a 1V reference, this same 200µV noise is 0.2LSB
peak-to-peak. This will reduce the range of input volt-
ages over which a stable output code can be achieved. If
the reference is further reduced to 200mV, the 200µV of
noise becomes equal to 1LSB and a stable code may be
difficult to achieve. In this case, averaging readings may
be necessary.
This noise data was taken in a very clean setup. Any setup-
induced noise (noise or ripple on V
CC
, V
REF
or V
IN
) will add
to the internal noise. The lower the reference voltage to be
used, the more critical it becomes to have a clean, noise-
free setup.
Conversion Speed with Reduced V
REF
With reduced reference voltages the LSB step size is
reduced and the LTC1197/LTC1197L internal comparator
overdrive is reduced. Therefore, it may be necessary to
reduce the maximum CLK frequency when low values of
V
REF
are used.
Input Divider
It is OK to use an input divider on the reference input of the
LTC1197/LTC1197L as long as the reference input can be
made to settle within the bit time at which the clock is
running. When using a larger value resistor divider on the
reference input, the “–” input should be matched with an
equivalent resistance.
Bypassing Reference Input with Divider
Bypassing the reference input with a divider is also pos-
sible. However, care must be taken to make sure that the
DC voltage on the reference input will not drop too much
below the intended reference voltage.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio
T
he signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) 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. This includes distortion as well as noise
products and for this reason it is sometimes referred to
as signal-to-noise + distortion [S/(N + D)]. The output is
band limited to frequencies from DC to one half the
sampling frequency. Figure 9 shows spectral content
from DC to 250kHz which is 1/2 the 500kHz sampling
rate.
Effective Number of Bits
The effective number of bits (ENOBs) is a measurement of
the resolution of an ADC and is directly related to the
S/(N + D) by the equation:
ENOB = [S/(N + D) –1.76]/6.02
where S/(N + D) is expressed in dB. At the maximum
sampling rate of 500kHz, the LTC1197 maintains 9.5
ENOBs or better to 200kHz. Above 200kHz, the ENOBs
gradually decline, as shown in Figure 10, due to increasing
second harmonic distortion. The noise floor remains
approximately 100dB.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACES
The LTC1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L can inter-
face directly (without external hardware to most popular
microprocessor (MPU) synchronous serial formats (see
Table 1). If an MPU without a dedicated serial port is used,
then three or four of the MPU’s parallel port lines can be
programmed to form the serial link. Included here is one
serial interface example and one example showing a
parallel port programmed to form the serial interface.
Motorola SPI (MC68HC05C4, MC68HC11)
The MC68HC05C4 has been chosen as an example of an
MPU with a dedicated serial port. This MPU transfers data
MSB-first and in 8-bit increments. With two 8-bit trans-
fers, the A/D result is read into the MPU. The first 8-bit
transfer sends the D
IN
word to the LTC1199 and clocks the
two ADC MSBs (B9 and B8) into the MPU. The second 8-
bit transfer clocks the next 8 bits, B7 through B0, of the
ADC into the MPU.
ANDing the first MPU received byte with 03Hex clears the
six MSBs. Notice how the position of the start bit in the D
IN
word is used to position the A/D result so that it is right-
justified in two memory locations.

Interfacing to the Parallel Port of the
Intel 8051 Family
The Intel 8051 has been chosen to demonstrate the
interface between the LTC1199 and parallel port micro-
processors. Normally, the CS, CLK and D
IN
signals would
be generated on three port lines and the D
OUT
signal read
on a fourth port line. This works very well. However, we
will demonstrate here an interface with the D
IN
and D
OUT
of the LTC1199 tied together as described in the
SERIAL INTERFACE section. This saves one wire.
The 8051 first sends the start bit and MUX address to the
LTC1199 over the data line connected to P1.2. Then P1.2
is reconfigured as an input (by writing to it a one) and
the 8051 reads back the 8-bit A/D result over the same
data line.

A “Quick Look” Circuit for the LTC1197
Users can get a quick look at the function and timing of
the LTC1197 by using the following simple circuit (Figure
11). V
REF
is tied to V
CC
. V
IN
is applied to the +IN input and
the –IN input is tied to the ground. CS is driven at 1/16
the clock rate by the 74HC161 and D
OUT
outputs the data.
The output data from the D
OUT
pin can be viewed on an
oscilloscope that is set up to trigger on the falling edge
of CS (Figure 12). Note that after the LSB is clocked out,
the LTC1197 clocks out zeros until CS goes high. Also
note that with the resistor divider on D
OUT
the output
goes midway between V
CC
and ground when in the high
impedance mode.

Figure 13 shows the LTC1199 in a 4-wire resistive touch-
screen application. Transistor pairs Q1-Q3, Q2-Q4 apply
5V and ground to the X axis and Y axis, respectively. The
LTC1199, with its 2-channel multiplexer, digitizes the
voltage generated by each axis and transmits the conver-
sion results to the system’s processor through a serial
interface. RC combinations R1C1, R2C2 and R3C3 form
lowpass filters that attenuate noise from possible sources
such as the processor clock, switching power supplies
and bus signals. The 74HC14 inverter is used to detect
screen contact both during a conversion sequence and to
trigger its start. Using the single channel LTC1197, 5-wire
resistive touchscreens are as easily accommodated.

Battery Current Monitor
The LTC1197L/LTC1199L are ideal for 3V systems. Fig-
ure 14 shows a 2.7V to 4V battery current monitor that
draws only 45µA at 3V from the battery it monitors,
sampling at a 1Hz rate. To minimize supply current, the
microprocessor uses the LTC1152 SHDN pin to turn on
the op amp prior to making a measurement and then turn
it off after the measurement has been made. The battery
current is sensed with the 0.005 resistor and amplified
by the LTC1152. The LTC1197L digitizes the amplifier
output and sends it to the microprocessor in serial
format. After each sample the LTC1197L automatically
powers down. The LT1004 provides the full-scale refer-
ence for the ADC. The circuit’s 45µA supply current is
dominated by the reference and the op amp. The circuit
can be located near the battery and data transmitted
serially to the microprocessor.
