The patented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic input current errors and the shortcomings of onchip buffering through automatic cancellation of differential input current. This allows large external source impedances and input signals, with rail-to-rail input range to be directly digitized while maintaining exceptional DC accuracy. The LTC2480 includes on-chip programmable gain and an oscillator. The LTC2480 can be configured to provide a programmable gain from 1 to 256 in 8 steps, measure an external signal or internal temperature sensor and reject line frequencies. 50Hz, 60Hz or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz line frequency rejection can be selected as well as a 2x speed-up mode. The LTC2480 allows a wide common mode input range (0V to VCC) independent of the reference voltage. The reference can be as low as 100mV or can be tied directly to VCC. The LTC2480 includes an on-chip trimmed oscillator eliminating the need for external crystals or oscillators. Absolute accuracy and low drift are automatically maintained through continuous, transparent, offset and full-scale calibration.

This pin is used to select the GAIN, line frequency rejection, input, temperature sensor and 2x speed mode. Data is shifted into the SDI pin on the rising edge of serial clock (SCK). VCC (Pin 2): Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND (Pin 8) with a 1F tantalum capacitor in parallel with 0.1F ceramic capacitor as close to the part as possible. VREF (Pin 3): Positive Reference Input. The voltage on this pin can have any value between 0.1V and VCC. The negative reference input is GND (Pin 8). IN+ (Pin 4), IN- (Pin 5): Differential Analog Inputs. The voltage on these pins can have any value between GND - 0.3V and VCC + 0.3V. Within these limits the converter bipolar input range (VIN = IN+ - IN-) extends from -0.5 * VREF/GAIN to 0.5 * VREF/GAIN. Outside this input range the converter produces unique overrange and underrange output codes. CS (Pin 6): Active LOW Chip Select. A LOW on this pin enables the digital input/output and wakes up the ADC. Following each conversion the ADC automatically enters the sleep mode and remains in this low power state as long as CS is HIGH. A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CS during the data output transfer aborts the data transfer and starts a new conversion. SDO (Pin 7): Three-State Digital Output. During the data output period, this pin is used as the serial data output. When the chip select CS is HIGH (CS = VCC), the SDO pin is in a high impedance state. During the conversion and sleep periods, this pin is used as the conversion status output. The conversion status can be observed by pulling CS LOW. GND (Pin 8): Ground. Shared pin for analog ground, digital ground and reference ground. Should be connected directly to a ground plane through a minimum impedance. 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 11 LTC2480 PIN FUNCTIONS SCK (Pin 9): Bidirectional Digital Clock Pin. In internal serial clock operation mode, SCK is used as the digital output for the internal serial interface clock during the data input/output period. In external serial clock operation mode, SCK is used as the digital input for the external serial interface clock during the data output period. A weak internal pull-up is automatically activated in internal serial clock operation mode. The serial clock operation mode is determined by the logic level applied to the SCK pin at power up or during the most recent falling edge of CS. fO (Pin 10): Frequency Control Pin. Digital input that controls the conversion clock. When fO is connected to GND the converter uses its internal oscillator running at 307.2kHz. The conversion clock may also be overridden by driving the fO pin with an external clock in order to change the output rate or the digital filter rejection null. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 11): This pin is ground and should be soldered to the PCB ground plane. For prototyping purposes, this pin may remain floating.

Its operation is made up of three states. The converter operating cycle begins with the conversion, followed by the low power sleep state and ends with the data output (see Figure 1). The 4-wire interface consists of serial data output (SDO), serial clock (SCK), chip select (CS) and serial data input (SDI). Initially, the LTC2480 performs a conversion. Once the conversion is complete, the device enters the sleep state. SLEEP FALSE CS = LOW AND SCK TRUE DATA OUTPUT CONFIGURATION INPUT 2480 F01 Figure 1. LTC2480 State Transition Diagram 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 13 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION While in this sleep state, power consumption is reduced by two orders of magnitude. The part remains in the sleep state as long as CS is HIGH. The conversion result is held indefinitely in a static shift register while the converter is in the sleep state. Once CS is pulled LOW, the device exits the low power mode and enters the data output state. If CS is pulled HIGH before the first rising edge of SCK, the device returns to the low power sleep mode and the conversion result is still held in the internal static shift register. If CS remains LOW after the first rising edge of SCK, the device begins outputting the conversion result. Taking CS high at this point will terminate the data input and output state and start a new conversion. The conversion result is shifted out of the device through the serial data output pin (SDO) on the falling edge of the serial clock (SCK) (see Figure 2). The LTC2480 includes a serial data input pin (SDI) in which data is latched by the device on the rising edge of SCK (Figure 2). The bit stream applied to this pin can be used to select various features of the LTC2480, including an on-chip temperature sensor, programmable GAIN, line frequency rejection and output data rate. Alternatively, this pin may be tied to ground and the part will perform conversions in a default state. In the default state (SDI grounded) the device simply performs conversions on the user applied input with a GAIN of 1 and simultaneous rejection of 50Hz and 60Hz line frequencies. Through timing control of the CS and SCK pins, the LTC2480 offers several flexible modes of operation (internal or external SCK and free-running conversion modes). These various modes do not require programming configuration registers; moreover, they do not disturb the cyclic operation described above. These modes of operation are described in detail in the Serial Interface Timing Modes section. Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation The LTC2480 combines a high precision delta-sigma ADC with an automatic differential input current cancellation front end. A proprietary front-end passive sampling network transparently removes the differential input current. This enables external RC networks and high impedance sensors to directly interface to the LTC2480 without external amplifiers. The remaining common mode input current is eliminated by either balancing the differential input impedances or setting the common mode input equal to the common mode reference (see the Automatic Input Current Cancellation section). This unique architecture does not require on-chip buffers enabling input signals to swing all the way to ground and up to VCC. Furthermore, the cancellation does not interfere with the transparent offset and full-scale auto-calibration and the absolute accuracy (full-scale + offset + linearity) is maintained even with external RC networks. Accessing the Special Features of the LTC2480 The LTC2480 combines a high resolution, low noise analog-to-digital converter with an on-chip selectable temperature sensor, programmable gain, programmable digital filter and output rate control. These special features are selected through a single 8-bit serial input word during the data input/output cycle (see Figure 2). The LTC2480 powers up in a default mode commonly used for most measurements. The device will remain in this mode as long as the serial data input (SDI) is low. In this default mode, the measured input is external, the GAIN is 1, the digital filter simultaneously rejects 50Hz and 60Hz line frequency noise, and the speed mode is 1x (offset automatically, continuously calibrated). A simple serial interface grants access to any or all special functions contained within the LTC2480. In order to change the mode of operation, an enable bit (EN) followed by up to 7 bits of data are shifted into the device (see Table 1). The first 3 bits (GS2, GS1, GS0) control the GAIN of the converter from 1 to 256. The 4th bit (IM) is used to select the internal temperature sensor as the conversion input, while the 5th and 6th bits (FA, FB) combine to determine the line frequency rejection mode. The 7th bit (SPD) is used to double the output rate by disabling the offset auto calibration. 2480fe 14 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CS SDO Hi-Z BIT 23 BIT 22 BIT 21 BIT 20 BIT 19 EOC DMY SIG MSB B16 BIT 18 BIT 4 BIT 3 BIT 2 BIT 1 BIT 0 LSB GS2 GS1 GS0 IM CONVERSION RESULT PREVIOUS CONFIGURATION BITS SCK SDI EN GS2 GS1 GS0 IM FA SLEEP FB SPD DON'T CARE DATA INPUT/OUTPUT CONVERSION 2480 F02 Figure 2.

GAIN (GS2, GS1, GS0) Rejection Mode (FA, FB) The input referred gain of the LTC2480 is adjustable from 1 to 256. With a gain of 1, the differential input range is VREF/2 and the common mode input range is rail-to-rail. As the GAIN is increased, the differential input range is reduced to VREF/2 * GAIN but the common mode input range remains rail-to-rail. As the differential gain is increased, low level voltages are digitized with greater resolution. At a gain of 256, the LTC2480 digitizes an input signal range of 9.76mV with over 16,000 counts. The LTC2480 includes a high accuracy on-chip oscillator with no required external components. Coupled with a 4th order digital lowpass filter, the LTC2480 rejects line frequency noise. In the default mode, the LTC2480 simultaneously rejects 50Hz and 60Hz by at least 87dB. The LTC2480 can also be configured to selectively reject 50Hz or 60Hz to better than 110dB. Temperature Sensor (IM) The LTC2480 includes an on-chip temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is selected by setting IM = 1 in the serial input data stream. Conversions are performed directly on the temperature sensor by the converter. While operating in this mode, the device behaves as a temperature to bits converter. The digital reading is proportional to the absolute temperature of the device. This feature allows the converter to linearize temperature sensors or continuously remove temperature effects from external sensors. Several applications leveraging this feature are presented in more detail in the applications section. While operating in this mode, the gain is set to 1 and the speed is set to normal independent of the control bits (GS2, GS1, GS0 and SPD). Speed Mode (SPD) The LTC2480 continuously performs offset calibrations. Every conversion cycle, two conversions are automatically performed (default) and the results combined. This result is free from offset and drift. In applications where the offset is not critical, the autocalibration feature can be disabled with the benefit of twice the output rate. Linearity, full-scale accuracy and full-scale drift are identical for both 2x and 1x speed modes. In both the 1x and 2x speed there is no latency. This enables input steps or multiplexer channel changes to settle in a single conversion cycle easing system overhead and increasing the effective conversion rate. 2480fe 16 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Data Format The LTC2480 serial output data stream is 24 bits long. The first 3 bits represent status information indicating the sign and conversion state. The next 17 bits are the conversion result, MSB first. The remaining 4 bits indicate the configuration state associated with the current conversion result. Bit 20 and bit 21 are also used to indicate an underrange condition (the differential input voltage is below -FS) or an overrange condition (the differential input voltage is above +FS). In applications where the processor generates 32 clock cycles, or to remain compatible with higher resolution converters, the LTC2480's digital interface will ignore extra clock edges seen during the next conversion period after the 24th and output "1" for the extra clock cycles. Furthermore, CS may be pulled high prior to outputting all 24 bits, aborting the data out transfer and initiating a new conversion. Bit 21 (third output bit) is the conversion result sign indicator (SIG). If VIN is >0, this bit is HIGH. If VIN is <0, this bit is LOW. Bit 20 (fourth output bit) is the most significant bit (MSB) of the result. This bit in conjunction with bit 21 also provides the underrange or overrange indication. If both bit 21 and bit 20 are HIGH, the differential input voltage is above +FS. If both bit 21 and bit 20 are LOW, the differential input voltage is below -FS. The function of these bits is summarized in Table 3. Table 3.

This bit is available at the SDO pin during the conversion and sleep states whenever the CS pin is LOW. This bit is HIGH during the conversion and goes LOW when the conversion is complete. Bits 20-4 are the 16-bit plus sign conversion result MSB first. Bit 22 (second output bit) is a dummy bit (DMY) and is always LOW. Data is shifted out of the SDO pin under control of the serial clock (SCK) (see Figure 2). Whenever CS is HIGH, Bits 3-0 are the corresponding configuration bits for the present conversion result. Bits 3-1 are the gain set bits and bit 0 is IM (see Figure 2). Table 4.

EOC is seen at the SDO pin of the device once CS is pulled LOW. EOC changes in real time from HIGH to LOW at the completion of a conversion. This signal may be used as an interrupt for an external microcontroller. Bit 23 (EOC) can be captured on the first rising edge of SCK. Bit 22 is shifted out of the device on the first falling edge of SCK. The final data bit (bit 0) is shifted out on the falling edge of the 23rd SCK and may be latched on the rising edge of the 24th SCK pulse. On the falling edge of the 24th SCK pulse, SDO goes HIGH indicating the initiation of a new conversion cycle. This bit serves as EOC (bit 23) for the next conversion cycle. Table 4 summarizes the output data format. As long as the voltage on the IN+ and IN- pins is maintained within the -0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V) absolute maximum operating range, a conversion result is generated for any differential input voltage VIN from -FS = -0.5 * VREF/GAIN to +FS = 0.5 * VREF /GAIN. For differential input voltages greater than +FS, the conversion result is clamped to the value corresponding to the +FS + 1LSB. For differential input voltages below -FS, the conversion result is clamped to the value corresponding to -FS - 1LSB. Conversion Clock A major advantage the delta-sigma converter offers over conventional type converters is an on-chip digital filter (commonly implemented as a SINC or Comb filter). For high resolution, low frequency applications, this filter is typically designed to reject line frequencies of 50Hz or 60Hz plus their harmonics. The filter rejection performance is directly related to the accuracy of the converter system clock. The LTC2480 incorporates a highly accurate on-chip oscillator. This eliminates the need for external frequency setting components such as crystals or oscillators. Frequency Rejection Selection (fO) The LTC2480 internal oscillator provides better than 110dB normal mode rejection at the line frequency and all its harmonics (up to the 255th) for 50Hz 2% or 60Hz 2%, or better than 87dB normal mode rejection from 48Hz to 62.4Hz. The rejection mode is selected by writing to the on-chip configuration register and the default mode at POR is simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection. When a fundamental rejection frequency different from 50Hz or 60Hz is required or when the converter must be synchronized with an outside source, the LTC2480 can operate with an external conversion clock. The converter automatically detects the presence of an external clock signal at the fO pin and turns off the internal oscillator. The frequency fEOSC of the external signal must be at least 10kHz to be detected. The external clock signal duty cycle is not significant as long as the minimum and maximum specifications for the high and low periods tHEO and tLEO are observed. While operating with an external conversion clock of a frequency fEOSC, the LTC2480 provides better than 110dB normal mode rejection in a frequency range of fEOSC/5120 4% and its harmonics. The normal mode rejection as a function of the input frequency deviation from fEOSC/5120 is shown in Figure 3. -80 -85 NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) SDO remains high impedance and any externally generated SCK clock pulses are ignored by the internal data out shift register. -90 -95 -100 -105 -110 -115 -120 -125 -130 -135 -140 -12 -8 -4 0 4 8 12 DIFFERENTIAL INPUT SIGNAL FREQUENCY DEVIATION FROM NOTCH FREQUENCY fEOSC/5120(%) 2480 F03 Figure 3. LTC2480 Normal Mode Rejection When Using an External Oscillator Whenever an external clock is not present at the fO pin, the converter automatically activates its internal oscillator and enters the internal conversion clock mode. The LTC2480 operation will not be disturbed if the change of conversion clock source occurs during the sleep state or during the data output state while the converter uses 2480fe 18 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Table 5.

If the change occurs during the conversion state, the result of the conversion in progress may be outside specifications but the following conversions will not be affected. If the change occurs during the data output state and the converter is in the Internal SCK mode, the serial clock duty cycle may be affected but the serial data stream will remain valid. Table 5 summarizes the duration of each state and the achievable output data rate as a function of fO. Ease of Use The LTC2480 data output has no latency, filter settling delay or redundant data associated with the conversion cycle. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the conversion and the output data. Therefore, multiplexing multiple analog voltages is easy. The LTC2480 performs offset and full-scale calibrations every conversion cycle. This calibration is transparent to the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation described above. The advantage of continuous calibration is extreme stability of offset and full-scale readings with respect to time, supply voltage change and temperature drift. Power-Up Sequence The LTC2480 automatically enters an internal reset state when the power supply voltage VCC drops below approximately 2V. This feature guarantees the integrity of the conversion result and of the serial interface mode selection. When the VCC voltage rises above this critical threshold, the converter creates an internal power-on-reset (POR) signal with a duration of approximately 4ms. The POR signal clears all internal registers. Following the POR signal, the LTC2480 starts a normal conversion cycle and follows the succession of states described in Figure 1. The first conversion result following POR is accurate within the specifications of the device if the power supply voltage is restored within the operating range (2.7V to 5.5V) before the end of the POR time interval. On-Chip Temperature Sensor The LTC2480 contains an on-chip PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) signal that can be used as a temperature sensor. The internal PTAT has a typical value of 420mV at 27C and is proportional to the absolute temperature 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 19 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION value with a temperature coefficient of 420/(27 + 273) = 1.40mV/C (SLOPE), as shown in Figure 4. The internal PTAT signal is used in a single-ended mode referenced to device ground internally. The GAIN is automatically set to one (independent of the values of GS0, GS1, GS2) in order to preserve the PTAT property at the ADC output code and avoid an out of range error. The 1x speed mode with automatic offset calibration is automatically selected for the internal PTAT signal measurement as well. 600 VPTAT (mV) 500 400 300 -30 0 30 60 TEMPERATURE (C) 90 120 2480 F04 Figure 4. Internal PTAT Signal vs Temperature When using the internal temperature sensor, if the output code is normalized to RSDO = VPTAT/VREF , the temperature is calculated using the following formula: TK = and TC = RSDO * VREF in Kelvin SLOPE RSDO * VREF - 273 in C SLOPE Since the PTAT signal can have an initial value variation which results in errors in SLOPE, to achieve better temperature measurements, a one-time calibration is needed to adjust the SLOPE value. The converter output of the PTAT signal, R0SDO, is measured at a known temperature T0 (in C) and the SLOPE is calculated as: R0SDO * VREF T0 + 273 This calibrated SLOPE can be used to calculate the temperature. 20 The LTC2480 external reference voltage range is 0.1V to VCC. The converter output noise is determined by the thermal noise of the front-end circuits, and as such, its value in nanovolts is nearly constant with reference voltage. Since the transition noise (600nV) is much less than the quantization noise (VREF/217), a decrease in the reference voltage will increase the converter resolution. A reduced reference voltage will also improve the converter performance when operated with an external conversion clock (external fO signal) at substantially higher output data rates (see the Output Data Rate section). VREF must be 1.1V to use the internal temperature sensor. The negative reference input to the converter is internally tied to GND. GND (Pin 8) should be connected to a ground plane through as short a trace as possible to minimize voltage drop. The LTC2480 has an average operational current of 160A and for 0.1 parasitic resistance, the voltage drop of 16V causes a gain error of 3.2ppm for VREF = 5V. Input Voltage Range where SLOPE is nominally 1.4mV/C. SLOPE = RSDO * VREF - 273 SLOPE R = SDO * (T0 + 273) - 273 R0SDO TC = Reference Voltage Range VCC = 5V IM = 1 FO = GND SLOPE = 1.40mV/C 200 -60 If the same VREF source is used during calibration and temperature measurement, the actual value of the VREF is not needed to measure the temperature as shown in the calculation below: The analog input is truly differential with an absolute/common mode range for the IN+ and IN- input pins extending from GND - 0.3V to VCC + 0.3V. Outside these limits, the ESD protection devices begin to turn on and the errors due to input leakage current increase rapidly. Within these limits, the LTC2480 converts the bipolar differential input signal, VIN = IN+ - IN-, from -FS to +FS where FS = 0.5 * VREF/GAIN. Outside this range, the converter indicates the overrange or the underrange condition using distinct output codes. Since the differential input current cancellation does not rely on an on-chip buffer, current cancellation as well as DC performance is maintained rail-to-rail. For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 2480fe LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Input signals applied to IN+ and IN- pins may extend by 300mV below ground and above VCC. In order to limit any fault current, resistors of up to 5k may be added in series with the IN+ and IN- pins without affecting the performance of the devices. The effect of the series resistance on the converter accuracy can be evaluated from the curves presented in the Input Current/Reference Current sections. In addition, series resistors will introduce a temperature dependent offset error due to the input leakage current. A 1nA input leakage current will develop a 1ppm offset error on a 5k resistor if VREF = 5V. This error has a very strong temperature dependency. 3- or 4-wire I/O, single cycle or continuous conversion. The following sections describe each of these serial interface timing modes in detail. In all these cases, the converter can use the internal oscillator (fO = LOW or fO = HIGH) or an external oscillator connected to the fO pin. Refer to Table 6 for a summary. External Serial Clock, Single Cycle Operation (SPI/MICROWIRE Compatible) This timing mode uses an external serial clock to shift out the conversion result and a CS signal to monitor and control the state of the conversion cycle, see Figure 5. Serial Interface Timing Modes The serial clock mode is selected on the falling edge of CS. To select the external serial clock mode, the serial clock pin (SCK) must be LOW during each CS falling edge. The LTC2480's 4-wire interface is SPI and MICROWIRE compatible. This interface offers several flexible modes of operation. These include internal/external serial clock, Table 6.

External Serial Clock, CS = 0 Operation 2480fe 22 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The serial data output pin (SDO) is Hi-Z as long as CS is HIGH. At any time during the conversion cycle, CS may be pulled LOW in order to monitor the state of the converter. While CS is pulled LOW, EOC is output to the SDO pin. EOC = 1 while a conversion is in progress and EOC = 0 if the device is in the sleep state. Independent of CS, the device automatically enters the low power sleep state once the conversion is complete. When the device is in the sleep state, its conversion result is held in an internal static shift register. The device remains in the sleep state until the first rising edge of SCK is seen while CS is LOW. The input data is then shifted in via the SDI pin on the rising edge of SCK (including the first rising edge) and the output data is shifted out of the SDO pin on each falling edge of SCK. This enables external circuitry to latch the output on the rising edge of SCK. EOC can be latched on the first rising edge of SCK and the last bit of the conversion result can be latched on the 24th rising edge of SCK. On the 24th falling edge of SCK, the device begins a new conversion. SDO goes HIGH (EOC = 1) indicating a conversion is in progress. In applications where the processor generates 32 clock cycles, or to remain compatible with higher resolution converters, the LTC2480's digital interface will ignore extra clock edges seen during the next conversion period after the 24th and outputs "1" for the extra clock cycles. At the conclusion of the data cycle, CS may remain LOW and EOC monitored as an end-of-conversion interrupt. Alternatively, CS may be driven HIGH setting SDO to Hi-Z. As described above, CS may be pulled LOW at any time in order to monitor the conversion status. Typically, CS remains LOW during the data output state. However, the data output state may be aborted by pulling CS HIGH anytime between the first rising edge and the 24th falling edge of SCK (see Figure 6). On the rising edge of CS, the device aborts the data output state and immediately initiates a new conversion. If the device has not finished loading the last input bit SPD of SDI by the time CS is pulled HIGH, the SDI information is discarded and the previous configuration is kept. This is useful for systems not requiring all 24 bits of output data, aborting an invalid conversion cycle or synchronizing the start of a conversion. External Serial Clock, 3-Wire I/O This timing mode utilizes a 3-wire serial I/O interface. The conversion result is shifted out of the device by an externally generated serial clock (SCK) signal, see Figure 7. CS may be permanently tied to ground, simplifying the user interface or transmission over an isolation barrier. The external serial clock mode is selected at the end of the power-on reset (POR) cycle. The POR cycle is concluded typically 4ms after VCC exceeds approximately 2V. The level applied to SCK at this time determines if SCK is internal or external. SCK must be driven LOW prior to the end of POR in order to enter the external serial clock timing mode. Since CS is tied LOW, the end-of-conversion (EOC) can be continuously monitored at the SDO pin during the convert and sleep states. EOC may be used as an interrupt to an external controller indicating the conversion result is ready. EOC = 1 while the conversion is in progress and EOC = 0 once the conversion ends. On the falling edge of EOC, the conversion result is loaded into an internal static shift register. The input data is then shifted in via the SDI pin on the rising edge of SCK (including the first rising edge) and the output data is shifted out of the SDO pin on each falling edge of SCK. EOC can be latched on the first rising edge of SCK. On the 24th falling edge of SCK, SDO goes HIGH (EOC = 1) indicating a new conversion has begun. In applications where the processor generates 32 clock cycles, or to remain compatible with higher resolution converters, the LTC2480's digital interface will ignore extra clock edges seen during the next conversion period after the 24th and outputs "1" for the extra clock cycles. 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 23 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Internal Serial Clock, Single Cycle Operation rising edge of SCK. In the internal SCK timing mode, SCK goes HIGH and the device begins outputting data at time tEOCtest after the falling edge of CS (if EOC = 0) or tEOCtest after EOC goes LOW (if CS is LOW during the falling edge of EOC). The value of tEOCtest is 12s if the device is using its internal oscillator. If fO is driven by an external oscillator of frequency fEOSC, then tEOCtest is 3.6/fEOSC in seconds. If CS is pulled HIGH before time tEOCtest, the device returns to the sleep state and the conversion result is held in the internal static shift register. This timing mode uses an internal serial clock to shift out the conversion result and a CS signal to monitor and control the state of the conversion cycle, see Figure 8. In order to select the internal serial clock timing mode, the serial clock pin (SCK) must be floating (Hi-Z) or pulled HIGH prior to the falling edge of CS. The device will not enter the internal serial clock mode if SCK is driven LOW on the falling edge of CS. An internal weak pull-up resistor is active on the SCK pin during the falling edge of CS; therefore, the internal serial clock timing mode is automatically selected if SCK is not externally driven. If CS remains LOW longer than tEOCtest, the first rising edge of SCK will occur and the conversion result is serially shifted out of the SDO pin. The data I/O cycle concludes after the 24th rising edge. The input data is shifted in via the SDI pin on the rising edge of SCK (including the first rising edge) and the output data is shifted out of the SDO pin on each falling edge of SCK. The internally generated serial clock is output to the SCK pin. This signal may be used to shift the conversion result into external circuitry. EOC can be latched on the first rising edge of SCK and the last bit of the conversion result on the 24th rising edge of SCK. After the 24th rising edge, SDO goes HIGH (EOC = 1), SCK stays HIGH and a new conversion starts. The serial data output pin (SDO) is Hi-Z as long as CS is HIGH. At any time during the conversion cycle, CS may be pulled LOW in order to monitor the state of the converter. Once CS is pulled LOW, SCK goes LOW and EOC is output to the SDO pin. EOC = 1 while a conversion is in progress and EOC = 0 if the device is in the sleep state. When testing EOC, if the conversion is complete (EOC = 0), the device will exit the low power mode during the EOC test. In order to allow the device to return to the low power sleep state, CS must be pulled HIGH before the first 2.7V TO 5.5V 1F 2 REFERENCE VOLTAGE 0.1V TO VCC ANALOG INPUT TEST EOC <tEOCtest 3 VCC 10 fO LTC2480 VREF 1 SDI SDO IN+ 5 CS IN- GND VCC 10k 9 SCK 4 INT/EXT CLOCK 4-WIRE SPI INTERFACE 7 6 8 CS BIT 23 SDO BIT 22 EOC Hi-Z BIT 21 BIT 20 SIG MSB BIT 19 BIT 18 BIT 17 BIT 16 BIT 4 BIT 0 LSB IM Hi-Z TEST EOC Hi-Z Hi-Z SCK (INTERNAL) SDI* DON'T CARE EN CONVERSION GS2 GS1 GS0 IM FA FB SPD DATA OUTPUT SLEEP DON'T CARE CONVERSION 2480 F08 SLEEP Figure 8.

However, the data output state may be aborted by pulling CS HIGH anytime between the first and 24th rising edge of SCK (see Figure 9). On the rising edge of CS, the device aborts the data output state and immediately initiates a new conversion. If the device has not finished loading the last input bit SPD of SDI by the time CS is pulled HIGH, the SDI information is discarded and the previous configuration is still kept. This is useful for systems not requiring all 24 bits of output data, aborting an invalid conversion cycle, or synchronizing the start of a conversion. If CS is pulled HIGH while the converter is driving SCK LOW, the internal pull-up is not available to restore SCK to a logic HIGH state. This will cause the device to exit the internal serial clock mode on the next falling edge of CS. This can be avoided by adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to the SCK pin or by never pulling CS HIGH when SCK is LOW. certain applications may require an external driver on SCK. If this driver goes Hi-Z after outputting a LOW signal, the LTC2480's internal pull-up remains disabled. Hence, SCK remains LOW. On the next falling edge of CS, the device is switched to the external SCK timing mode. By adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to SCK, this pin goes HIGH once the external driver goes Hi-Z. On the next CS falling edge, the device will remain in the internal SCK timing mode. A similar situation may occur during the sleep state when CS is pulsed HIGH-LOW-HIGH in order to test the conversion status. If the device is in the sleep state (EOC = 0), SCK will go LOW. Once CS goes HIGH (within the time period defined above as tEOCtest), the internal pull-up is activated. For a heavy capacitive load on the SCK pin, the internal pull-up may not be adequate to return SCK to a HIGH level before CS goes low again. This is not a concern under normal conditions where CS remains LOW after detecting EOC = 0. This situation is easily overcome by adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to the SCK pin. Whenever SCK is LOW, the LTC2480's internal pull-up at pin SCK is disabled. Normally, SCK is not externally driven if the device is in the internal SCK timing mode.

The data input/output cycle begins on the first rising edge of SCK and ends after the 24th rising edge. The input data is then shifted in via the SDI pin on the rising edge of SCK (including the first rising edge) and the output data is shifted out of the SDO pin on each falling edge of SCK. The internally generated serial clock is output to the SCK pin. This signal may be used to shift the conversion result into external circuitry. EOC can be latched on the first rising edge of SCK and the last bit of the conversion result can be latched on the 24th rising edge of SCK. After the 24th rising edge, SDO goes HIGH (EOC = 1) indicating a new conversion is in progress. SCK remains HIGH during the conversion. This timing mode uses a 3-wire interface. The conversion result is shifted out of the device by an internally generated serial clock (SCK) signal, see Figure 10. CS may be permanently tied to ground, simplifying the user interface or transmission over an isolation barrier. The internal serial clock mode is selected at the end of the power-on reset (POR) cycle. The POR cycle is concluded approximately 1ms after VCC exceeds 2V. An internal weak pull-up is active during the POR cycle; therefore, the internal serial clock timing mode is automatically selected if SCK is not externally driven LOW (if SCK is loaded such that the internal pull-up cannot pull the pin HIGH, the external SCK mode will be selected). Preserving the Converter Accuracy During the conversion, the SCK and the serial data output pin (SDO) are HIGH (EOC = 1). Once the conversion is complete, SCK and SDO go LOW (EOC = 0) indicating the conversion has finished and the device has entered the low power sleep state. The part remains in the sleep state a minimum amount of time (1/2 the internal SCK The LTC2480 is designed to reduce as much as possible the conversion result sensitivity to device decoupling, PCB layout, anti-aliasing circuits, line frequency perturbations and so on.

Internal Serial Clock, CS = 0 Continuous Operation 2480fe 26 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Digital Signal Levels The LTC2480's digital interface is easy to use. Its digital inputs (SDI, fO, CS and SCK in External SCK mode of operation) accept standard CMOS logic levels and the internal hysteresis receivers can tolerate edge transition times as slow as 100s. However, some considerations are required to take advantage of the exceptional accuracy and low supply current of this converter. The digital output signals (SDO and SCK in Internal SCK mode of operation) are less of a concern because they are not generally active during the conversion state. While a digital input signal is in the range 0.5V to (VCC - 0.5V), the CMOS input receiver draws additional current from the power supply. It should be noted that, when any one of the digital input signals (SDI, fO, CS and SCK in External SCK mode of operation) is within this range, the power supply current may increase even if the signal in question is at a valid logic level. For micropower operation, it is recommended to drive all digital input signals to full CMOS levels [VIL < 0.4V and VOH > (VCC - 0.4V)]. During the conversion period, the undershoot and/or overshoot of a fast digital signal connected to the pins can severely disturb the analog to digital conversion process. Undershoot and overshoot occur because of the impedance mismatch of the circuit board trace at the converter pin when the transition time of an external control signal is less than twice the propagation delay from the driver to the LTC2480. For reference, on a regular FR-4 board, signal propagation velocity is approximately 183ps/inch for internal traces and 170ps/inch for surface traces. Thus, a driver generating a control signal with a minimum transition time of 1ns must be connected to the converter pin through a trace shorter than 2.5 inches. This problem becomes particularly difficult when shared control lines are used and multiple reflections may occur. The solution is to carefully terminate all transmission lines close to their characteristic impedance. Parallel termination near the LTC2480 pin will eliminate this problem but will increase the driver power dissipation. A series resistor between 27 and 56 placed near the driver output pin will also eliminate this problem without additional power dissipation. The actual resistor value depends upon the trace impedance and connection topology. An alternate solution is to reduce the edge rate of the control signals. It should be noted that using very slow edges will increase the converter power supply current during the transition time. The differential input architecture reduces the converter's sensitivity to ground currents. Particular attention must be given to the connection of the fO signal when the LTC2480 is used with an external conversion clock. This clock is active during the conversion time and the normal mode rejection provided by the internal digital filter is not very high at this frequency. A normal mode signal of this frequency at the converter reference terminals can result in DC gain and INL errors. A normal mode signal of this frequency at the converter input terminals can result in a DC offset error. Such perturbations can occur due to asymmetric capacitive coupling between the fO signal trace and the converter input and/or reference connection traces. An immediate solution is to maintain maximum possible separation between the fO signal trace and the input/reference signals. When the fO signal is parallel terminated near the converter, substantial AC current is flowing in the loop formed by the fO connection trace, the termination and the ground return path. Thus, perturbation signals may be inductively coupled into the converter input and/or reference. In this situation, the user must reduce to a minimum the loop area for the fO signal as well as the loop area for the differential input and reference connections. Even when fO is not driven, other nearby signals pose similar EMI threats which will be minimized by following good layout practices. 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 27 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Driving the Input and Reference period is 2.5/fEOSC and, for a settling error of less than 1ppm, 0.178/fEOSC. The input and reference pins of the LTC2480 converter are directly connected to a network of sampling capacitors. Depending upon the relation between the differential input voltage and the differential reference voltage, these capacitors are switching between these four pins transferring small amounts of charge in the process. A simplified equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 11. Automatic Differential Input Current Cancellation In applications where the sensor output impedance is low (up to 10k with no external bypass capacitor or up to 500 with 0.001F bypass), complete settling of the input occurs. In this case, no errors are introduced and direct digitization of the sensor is possible. For a simple approximation, the source impedance RS driving an analog input pin (IN+, IN-, VREF+ or GND) can be considered to form, together with RSW and CEQ (see Figure 11), a first order passive network with a time constant = (RS + RSW) * CEQ. The converter is able to sample the input signal with better than 1ppm accuracy if the sampling period is at least 14 times greater than the input circuit time constant . The sampling process on the four input analog pins is quasi-independent so each time constant should be considered by itself and, under worst-case circumstances, the errors may add. For many applications, the sensor output impedance combined with external bypass capacitors produces RC time constants much greater than the 580ns required for 1ppm accuracy. For example, a 10k bridge driving a 0.1F bypass capacitor has a time constant an order of magnitude greater than the required maximum. Historically, settling issues were solved using buffers. These buffers led to increased noise, reduced DC performance (Offset/Drift), limited input/output swing (cannot digitize signals near ground or VCC), added system cost and increased power. The LTC2480 uses a proprietary switching algorithm that forces the average differential input current to zero independent of external settling errors. This allows accurate direct digitization of high impedance sensors without the need of buffers. Additional errors resulting from mismatched leakage currents must also be taken into account. When using the internal oscillator, the LTC2480's front-end switched-capacitor network is clocked at 123kHz corresponding to an 8.1s sampling period. Thus, for settling errors of less than 1ppm, the driving source impedance should be chosen such that 8.1s/14 = 580ns.

Over the complete conversion cycle, the average differential input current (IIN+ - IIN-) is zero. While the differential input current is zero, the common mode input current (IIN++ IIN-)/2 is proportional to the difference between the common mode input voltage (VINCM) and the common mode reference voltage (VREFCM). In applications where the input common mode voltage is equal to the reference common mode voltage, as in the case of a balance bridge type application, both the differential and common mode input current are zero. The accuracy of the converter is unaffected by settling errors. Mismatches in source impedances between IN+ and IN- also do not affect the accuracy. In applications where the input common mode voltage is constant but different from the reference common mode voltage, the differential input current remains zero while the common mode input current is proportional to the difference between VINCM and VREFCM. For a reference common mode of 2.5V and an input common mode of 1.5V, the common mode input current is approximately 0.74A (in simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection mode). This common mode input current has no effect on the accuracy if the external source impedances tied to IN+ and IN- are matched. Mismatches in these source impedances lead to a fixed offset error but do not affect the linearity or fullscale reading. A 1% mismatch in 1k source resistances leads to a 15ppm shift (74V) in offset voltage. In applications where the common mode input voltage varies as a function of input signal level (single-ended input, RTDs, half bridges, current sensors, etc.), the common mode input current varies proportionally with input voltage. For the case of balanced input impedances, the common mode input current effects are rejected by the large CMRR of the LTC2480 leading to little degradation in accuracy. Mismatches in source impedances lead to gain errors proportional to the difference between the common mode input voltage and the common mode reference voltage. 1% mismatches in 1k source resistances lead to worst-case gain errors on the order of 15ppm or 1LSB (for 1V differences in reference and input common mode 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 29 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION voltage). Table 7 summarizes the effects of mismatched source impedance and differences in reference/input common mode voltages. Table 7.

Can Take Large Source Resistance with Negligible Error Minimize IN+ and IN- Capacitors and Avoid Large Source Impedance (<5k Recommended) The magnitude of the dynamic input current depends upon the size of the very stable internal sampling capacitors and upon the accuracy of the converter sampling clock. The accuracy of the internal clock over the entire temperature and power supply range is typically better than 0.5%. Such a specification can also be easily achieved by an external clock. When relatively stable resistors (50ppm/C) are used for the external source impedance seen by IN+ and IN-, the expected drift of the dynamic current and offset will be insignificant (about 1% of their respective values over the entire temperature and voltage range). Even for the most stringent applications, a one-time calibration operation may be sufficient. In addition to the input sampling charge, the input ESD protection diodes have a temperature dependent leakage current. This current, nominally 1nA (10nA max), results in a small offset shift. A 1k source resistance will create a 1V typical and 10V maximum offset voltage. Reference Current In a similar fashion, the LTC2480 samples the differential reference pins VREF+ and GND transferring small amount of charge to and from the external driving circuits thus producing a dynamic reference current. This current does not change the converter offset, but it may degrade the gain and INL performance. The effect of this current can be analyzed in two distinct situations. For relatively small values of the external reference capacitors (CREF < 1nF), the voltage on the sampling capacitor settles almost completely and relatively large values for the source impedance result in only small errors. Such values for CREF will deteriorate the converter offset and gain performance without significant benefits of reference filtering and the user is advised to avoid them. Larger values of reference capacitors (CREF > 1nF) may be required as reference filters in certain configurations. Such capacitors will average the reference sampling charge and the external source resistance will see a quasi constant reference differential impedance. In the following discussion, it is assumed the input and reference common mode are the same. Using internal oscillator for 60Hz mode, the typical differential reference resistance is 1M which generates a full-scale (VREF/2) gain error of 0.51ppm for each ohm of source resistance driving the VREF pin. For 50Hz/60Hz mode, the related difference resistance is 1.1M and the resulting full-scale error is 0.46ppm for each ohm of source resistance driving the VREF pin. For 50Hz mode, the related difference resistance is 1.2M and the resulting full-scale error is 0.42ppm for each ohm of source resistance driving the VREF pin. When fO is driven by an external oscillator with a frequency fEOSC (external conversion clock operation), the typical differential reference resistance is 0.30 * 1012/fEOSC and each ohm of source resistance driving the VREF pin will result in 1.67 * 10-6 * fEOSCppm gain error. The typical +FS and -FS errors for various combinations of source resistance seen by the VREF pin and external capacitance connected to that pin are shown in Figures 15-18. In addition to this gain error, the converter INL performance is degraded by the reference source impedance. The INL is caused by the input dependent terms -VIN2/(VREF * REQ) - (0.5 * VREF * DT)/REQ in the reference pin current as expressed in Figure 11. When using internal oscillator and 60Hz mode, every 100 of reference source resistance translates into about 0.67ppm additional INL error. When using internal oscillator and 50Hz/60Hz mode, every 100 of reference source resistance translates into about 0.61ppm additional INL error. When using internal oscillator and 50Hz mode, every 100 of reference source resistance translates into about 0.56ppm additional INL error.

For every 1V of the reference and input common mode voltage difference (VREFCM - VINCM) and a 5V reference, each Ohm of reference source resistance introduces an extra (VREFCM - VINCM)/(VREF * REQ) full-scale gain error, which is 0.074ppm when using internal oscillator and 60Hz mode. When using internal oscillator and 50Hz/60Hz mode, the extra full-scale gain error is 0.067ppm. When using 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 31 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION internal oscillator and 50Hz mode, the extra gain error is 0.061ppm. If an external clock is used, the corresponding extra gain error is 0.24 * 10-6 * fEOSCppm. The magnitude of the dynamic reference current depends upon the size of the very stable internal sampling capacitors and upon the accuracy of the converter sampling clock. The accuracy of the internal clock over the entire temperature and power supply range is typically better than 0.5%. Such a specification can also be easily achieved by an external clock. When relatively stable resistors (50ppm/C) are used for the external source impedance seen by VREF+ and GND, the expected drift of the dynamic current gain error will be insignificant (about 1% of its value over the entire temperature and voltage range). Even for the most stringent applications a one-time calibration operation may be sufficient. In addition to the reference sampling charge, the reference pins ESD protection diodes have a temperature dependent leakage current. This leakage current, nominally 1nA (10nA max), results in a small gain error. A 100 source resistance will create a 0.05V typical and 0.5V maximum full-scale error. 3500 40 20 10 0 -10 An increase in fEOSC over the nominal 307.2kHz will translate into a proportional increase in the maximum output data rate. The increase in output rate is nevertheless accompanied by two potential effects, which must be carefully considered. First, a change in fEOSC will result in a proportional change in the internal notch position and in a reduction of the converter differential mode rejection at the power line 0 VIN(CM) = VREF(CM) VCC = VREF = 5V fO = EXT CLOCK TA = 25C TA = 85C 3000 TA = 25C TA = 85C 30 When using its internal oscillator, the LTC2480 produces up to 7.5 samples per second (sps) with a notch frequency of 60Hz, 6.25sps with a notch frequency of 50Hz and 6.82sps with the 50Hz/60Hz rejection mode. The actual output data rate will depend upon the length of the sleep and data output phases which are controlled by the user and which can be made insignificantly short. When operated with an external conversion clock (fO connected to an external oscillator), the LTC2480 output data rate can be increased as desired. The duration of the conversion phase is 41036/fEOSC. If fEOSC = 307.2kHz, the converter behaves as if the internal oscillator is used and the notch is set at 60Hz. 2500 -500 -FS ERROR (ppm OF VREF) VIN(CM) = VREF(CM) VCC = VREF = 5V VIN = 0V fO = EXT CLOCK +FS ERROR (ppm OF VREF) OFFSET ERROR (ppm OF VREF) 50 Output Data Rate -1000 2000 -1500 1500 -2000 1000 500 0 10 20 OUTPUT DATA RATE (READINGS/SEC) 30 2480 F20 Figure 20.

In many applications, the subsequent performance degradation can be substantially reduced by relying upon the LTC2480's exceptional common mode rejection and by carefully eliminating common mode to differential mode conversion sources in the input circuit. The user should avoid single-ended input filters and should maintain a very high degree of matching and symmetry in the circuits driving the IN+ and IN- pins. Second, the increase in clock frequency will increase proportionally the amount of sampling charge transferred through the input and the reference pins.

When the internal oscillator is used, the shape of the LTC2480 input bandwidth is shown in Figure 28. When an external oscillator of frequency fEOSC is used, the shape of the LTC2480 input bandwidth can be derived from Figure 28, 60Hz mode curve in which the horizontal axis is scaled by fEOSC/307200. The conversion noise (600nVRMS typical for VREF = 5V) can be modeled by a white noise source connected to a noise free converter. The noise spectral density is 47nVHz for an infinite bandwidth source and 64nVHz for a single 0.5MHz pole source. From these numbers, it is clear that particular attention must be given to the design of external amplification circuits. Such circuits face the simultaneous requirements of very low bandwidth (just a few Hz) in order to reduce the output referred noise and relatively high bandwidth (at least 500kHz) necessary to drive the input switched-capacitor network. A possible solution is a high gain, low bandwidth amplifier stage followed by a high bandwidth unity-gain buffer. When external amplifiers are driving the LTC2480, the ADC input referred system noise calculation can be simplified by Figure 29. The noise of an amplifier driving the LTC2480 input pin can be modeled as a band limited white noise source. Its bandwidth can be approximated by the bandwidth of a single pole lowpass filter with a corner frequency fi. The amplifier noise spectral density is ni.

Input Signal Bandwidth Using the Internal Oscillator 100 INPUT REFERRED NOISE EQUIVALENT BANDWIDTH (Hz) The combined effect of the internal SINC4 digital filter and of the analog and digital autocalibration circuits determines the LTC2480 input bandwidth. When the internal oscillator is used with the notch set at 60Hz, the 3dB input bandwidth is 3.63Hz. When the internal oscillator is used with the notch set at 50Hz, the 3dB input bandwidth is 3.02Hz. If an external conversion clock generator of frequency fEOSC is connected to the fO pin, the 3dB input bandwidth is 11.8 * 10-6 * fEOSC.

Input Referred Noise Equivalent Bandwidth of an Input Connected White Noise Source can find on the y-axis the noise equivalent bandwidth freqi of the input driving amplifier. This bandwidth includes the band limiting effects of the ADC internal calibration and filtering. The noise of the driving amplifier referred to the converter input and including all these effects can be calculated as N = ni * freqi. The total system noise (referred to the LTC2480 input) can now be obtained by summing as square root of sum of squares the three ADC input referred noise sources: the LTC2480 internal noise, the noise of the IN+ driving amplifier and the noise of the IN- driving amplifier. 2480fe 34 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION If the fO pin is driven by an external oscillator of frequency fEOSC, Figure 29 can still be used for noise calculation if the x-axis is scaled by fEOSC/307200. For large values of the ratio fEOSC/307200, the Figure 29 plot accuracy begins to decrease, but at the same time the LTC2480 noise floor rises and the noise contribution of the driving amplifiers lose significance. Normal Mode Rejection and Anti-aliasing The SINC4 digital filter provides greater than 120dB normal mode rejection at all frequencies except DC and integer multiples of the modulator sampling frequency (fS). The LTC2480's autocalibration circuits further simplify the anti-aliasing requirements by additional normal mode signal filtering both in the analog and digital domain. Independent of the operating mode, fS = 256 * fN = 2048 * fOUT(MAX) where fN is the notch frequency and fOUT(MAX) is the maximum output data rate. In the internal oscillator mode with a 50Hz notch setting, fS = 12800Hz, with 50Hz/60Hz rejection, fS = 13960Hz and with a 60Hz notch setting fS = 15360Hz. In the external oscillator mode, fS = 0 0 -10 -10 INPUT NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) INPUT NORMAL MODE REJECTION (dB) One of the advantages delta-sigma ADCs offer over conventional ADCs is on-chip digital filtering.

The performance of the normal mode rejection is shown in Figures 30 and 31. the LTC2480 for the 50Hz rejection mode and 50Hz/60Hz rejection mode are shown in Figures 35 and 36. In 1x speed mode, the regions of low rejection occurring at integer multiples of fS have a very narrow bandwidth. Magnified details of the normal mode rejection curves are shown in Figure 32 (rejection near DC) and Figure 33 (rejection at fS = 256fN) where fN represents the notch frequency. These curves have been derived for the external oscillator mode but they can be used in all operating modes by appropriately selecting the fN value. As a result of these remarkable normal mode specifications, minimal (if any) anti-alias filtering is required in front of the LTC2480. If passive RC components are placed in front of the LTC2480, the input dynamic current should be considered (see Input Current section). In this case, the differential input current cancellation feature of the LTC2480 allows external RC networks without significant degradation in DC performance. The user can expect to achieve this level of performance using the internal oscillator as it is demonstrated by Figures 34, 35 and 36. Typical measured values of the normal mode rejection of the LTC2480 operating with an internal oscillator and a 60Hz notch setting are shown in Figure 34 superimposed over the theoretical calculated curve. Similarly, the measured normal mode rejection of Traditional high order delta-sigma modulators, while providing very good linearity and resolution, suffer from potential instabilities at large input signal levels. The proprietary architecture used for the LTC2480 third order modulator resolves this problem and guarantees a predictable stable behavior at input signal levels of up to 150% of full-scale.

Input Normal Mode Rejection vs Input Frequency, 2x Speed Mode and 50Hz/60Hz Mode to measure microvolt level signals superimposed over volt level perturbations and the LTC2480 is eminently suited for such tasks. When the perturbation is differential, the specification of interest is the normal mode rejection for large input signal levels. With a reference voltage VREF = 5V, the LTC2480 has a full-scale differential input range of 5V peak-to-peak. Figures 37 and 38 show measurement results for the LTC2480 normal mode rejection ratio with a 7.5V peak-to-peak (150% of full-scale) input signal superimposed over the more traditional normal mode rejection ratio results obtained with a 5V peak-to-peak (full-scale) input signal. In Figure 37, the LTC2480 uses the internal oscillator with the notch set at 60Hz (fO = LOW) and in Figure 38 it uses the internal oscillator with the notch set at 50Hz.

Input Normal Mode Rejection 2x Speed Mode user must observe that such signals do not violate the device absolute maximum ratings. Using the 2x speed mode of the LTC2480, the device bypasses the digital offset calibration operation to double the output data rate. The superior normal mode rejection is maintained as shown in Figures 30 and 31. However, the magnified details near DC and fS = 256fN are different, see Figures 39 and 40. In 2x speed mode, the bandwidth is 11.4Hz for the 50Hz rejection mode, 13.6Hz for the 60Hz rejection mode and 12.4Hz for the 50Hz/60Hz rejection mode. Typical measured values of the normal mode rejection of the LTC2480 operating with the internal oscillator and 2x speed mode is shown in Figure 41. When the LTC2480 is configured in 2x speed mode, by performing a running average, a SINC1 notch is combined with the SINC4 digital filter, yielding the normal mode 2480fe For more information www.linear.com/LTC2480 37 LTC2480 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION rejection identical as that for the 1x speed mode. The averaging operation still keeps the output rate with the following algorithm: Result 1 = average (sample 0, sample 1) Result 2 = average (sample 1, sample 2) ...... Result n = average (sample n - 1, sample n) The main advantage of the running average is that it achieves simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection at twice the effective output rate, as shown in Figure 42. The raw output data provides a better than 70dB rejection over 48Hz to 62.4Hz, which covers both 50Hz 2% and 60Hz 2%. With running average on, the rejection is better than 87dB for both 50Hz 2% and 60Hz 2%. Complete Thermocouple Measurement System with Cold Junction Compensation The LTC2480 is ideal for direct digitization of thermocouples and other low voltage output sensors. The input has a typical offset error of 500nV (2.5V max) offset drift of 10nV/C and a noise level of 600nVRMS. The input span may be optimized for various sensors by setting the gain of the PGA. Using an external 5V reference with a PGA gain of 64 gives a 78mV input range--perfect for thermocouples. Figure 44 (last page of this data sheet) is a complete type K thermocouple meter. The only signal conditioning is a simple surge protection network. In any thermocouple meter, the cold junction temperature sensor must be at the same temperature as the junction between the thermocouple materials and the copper printed circuit board traces. The tiny LTC2480 can be tucked neatly underneath an Omega MPJ-K-F thermocouple socket ensuring close thermal coupling. The LTC2480's 1.4mV/C PTAT circuit measures the cold junction temperature. Once the thermocouple voltage and cold junction temperature are known, there are many ways of calculating the thermocouple temperature including a straight-line approximation, lookup tables or a polynomial curve fit. Calibration is performed by applying an accurate 500mV to the ADC input derived from an LT(R)1236 reference and measuring the local temperature with an accurate thermometer as shown in Figure 43. In calibration mode, the up and down buttons are used to adjust the local temperature reading until it matches an accurate thermometer. Both the voltage and temperature calibration are easily automated. The complete microcontroller code for this application is available on the LTC2480 product Web page at: http://www.linear.com It can be used as a template for may different instruments and it illustrates how to generate calibration coefficients for the onboard temperature sensor.

The spi_read() function performs an 8 bit bidirectional transfer on the SPI bus. Data changes state on falling clock edges and is valid on rising edges, as determined by the setup_spi() line in the initialize() function. A good starting point when porting to other processors is to write your own spi_write function. Note that each processor has its own way of configuring the SPI port, and different compilers may or may not have built-in functions for the SPI port. Also, since the state of the LTC2480's SDO line indicates when a conversion is complete you need to be able to read the state of this line through the processor's serial data input. Most processors will let you read this pin as if it were a general purpose I/O line, but there may be some that don't. When in doubt, you can always write a "bit bang" function for troubleshooting purposes. The "fourbytes" structure allows byte access to the 32 bit return value: struct fourbytes { int8 te0; int8 te1; int8 te2; int8 te3; }; // // // // // // Define structure of four consecutive bytes To allow byte access to a 32 bit int or float. The make32() function in this compiler will also work, but a union of 4 bytes and a 32 bit int is probably more portable. Also note that the lower 4 bits are the configuration word from the previous conversion. The 4 LSBs are cleared so that they don't affect any subsequent mathematical operations. While you can do a right shift by 4, there is no point if you are going to convert to floating point numbers - just adjust your scaling constants appropriately. *******************************************************************************/ signed int32 read_LTC2480(char config) { union // adc_code.bits32 all 32 bits { // adc_code.by.te0 byte 0 signed int32 bits32; // adc_code.by.te1 byte 1 struct fourbytes by; // adc_code.by.te2 byte 2 } adc_code; // adc_code.by.te3 byte 3 output_low(CS); while(input(PIN_C4)) {} // Enable LTC2480 SPI interface // Wait for end of conversion.
