APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
OVERVIEW  
TRANSFER FUNCTION  
The LTC2379-18 is a low noise, low power, high speed  
18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC.  
Operating from a single 2.5V supply, the LTC2379-18  
The LTC2379-18 digitizes the full-scale voltage of 2 × REF  
18  
into 2 levels, resulting in an LSꢀ size of 38μV with  
REF = 5V. The ideal transfer function is shown in Figure 2.  
The output data is in 2’s complement format.

Fast 1.6Msps throughput with no cycle latency makes  
the LTC2379-18 ideally suited for a wide variety of high  
speed applications. An internal oscillator sets the con-  
version time, easing external timing considerations. The  
LTC2379-18 dissipates only 18mW at 1.6Msps, while an  
auto power-down feature is provided to further reduce  
power dissipation during inactive periods.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS  
Highqualitycapacitorsandresistorsshouldbeusedinthe

and silver mica type dielectric capacitors have excellent  
linearity. Carbon surface mount resistors can generate  
distortion from self heating and from damage that may  
occurduringsoldering.Metalfilmsurfacemountresistors  
are much less susceptible to both problems.  
A low impedance source can directly drive the high im-  
pedance inputs of the LTC2379-18 without gain error. A  
high impedance source should be buffered to minimize  
settling time during acquisition and to optimize the dis-  
tortion performance of the ADC. Minimizing settling time  
is important even for DC inputs, because the ADC inputs  
draw a current spike when entering acquisition.  
Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion  
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used  
to drive the analog inputs of the LTC2379-18. The ampli-  
fier provides low output impedance, which produces fast  
settling of the analog signal during the acquisition phase.  
ꢁt also provides isolation between the signal source and  
the current spike the ADC inputs draw.  
Forsingle-endedinputsignals,asingle-endedtodifferential  
conversion circuit must be used to produce a differential  
signal at the inputs of the LTC2379-18. The LT6350 ADC  
driver is recommended for performing single-ended-to-  
differential conversions. The LT6350 is flexible and may  
be configured to convert single-ended signals of various  
amplitudes to the 5V differential input range of the  
LTC2379-18. The LT6350 is also available in H-grade to  
complement the extended temperature operation of the  
LTC2379-18 up to 125°C.  
Input Filtering  
The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifier and signal  
sourcemustbeconsideredsincetheyaddtotheADCnoise  
and distortion. Ioisy input signals should be filtered prior  
to the buffer amplifier input with an appropriate filter to  
minimizenoise.Thesimple1-poleRClowpassfilter(LPF1)  
shown in Figure 4 is sufficient for many applications.  
Figure 5a shows the LT6350 being used to convert a 0V  
to 5V single-ended input signal. ꢁn this case, the first  
amplifierisconfiguredasaunitygainbufferandthesingle-  
ended input signal directly drives the high-impedance  
input of the amplifier. As shown in the FFT of Figure 5b,  
the LT6350 drives the LTC2379-18 to near full datasheet  
performance.

The LT6350 can also be used to buffer and convert large  
true bipolar signals which swing below ground to the  
5V differential input range of the LTC2379-18 in order  
to maximize the signal swing that can be digitized. Fig-  
ure 6a shows the LT6350 being used to convert a 10V  
true bipolar signal for use by the LTC2379-18. ꢁn this  
case, the first amplifier in the LT6350 is configured as  
an inverting amplifier stage, which acts to attenuate and  
level shift the input signal to the 0V to 5V input range of  
the LTC2379-18. ꢁn the inverting amplifier configuration,  
the single-ended input signal source no longer directly  
drives a high impedance input of the first amplifier. The

Another filter network consisting of LPF2 should be used  
between the buffer and ADC input to both minimize the  
noisecontributionofthebufferandtohelpminimizedistur-  
bances reflected into the buffer from sampling transients.  
Long RC time constants at the analog inputs will slow  
down the settling of the analog inputs. Therefore, LPF2  
requires a wider bandwidth than LPF1. A buffer amplifier  
with a low noise density must be selected to minimize  
degradation of the SIR.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio ꢂSNRx  
The signal-to-noise ratio (SIR) is the ratio between the  
RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and  
the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components  
except the first five harmonics and DC. Figure 11 shows  
that the LTC2379-18 achieves a typical SIR of 101.2dꢀ  
at a 1.6MHz sampling rate with a 2kHz input.  
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE  
Total Harmonic Distortion ꢂTHDx  
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) techniques are used to test  
the ADC’s frequency response, distortion and noise at the  
rated throughput. ꢀy applying a low distortion sine wave  
and analyzing the digital output using an FFT algorithm,  
the ADC’s spectral content can be examined for frequen-  
cies outside the fundamental. The LTC2379-18 provides  
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise  
measurements.

to the maximum voltage relationships described in the  
Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The LTC2379-18  
has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that will reset the  
LTC2379-18 at initial power-up or whenever the power  
supply voltage drops below 1V. Once the supply voltage

DIGITAꢀ INTERFACE  
The LTC2379-18 has a serial digital interface. The flexible  
OV supply allows the LTC2379-18 to communicate with

The LTC2379-18 conversion is controlled by CIV. A ris-  
ing edge on CIV will start a conversion and power up the  
LTC2379-18.Onceaconversionhasbeeninitiated,itcannot  
berestarteduntiltheconversioniscomplete.Foroptimum  
performance, CIV should be driven by a clean low jitter  
signal. Converter status is indicated by the ꢀUSY output  
which remains high while the conversion is in progress.  
To ensure that no errors occur in the digitized results, any  
additional transitions on CIV should occur within 40ns  
from the start of the conversion or after the conversion  
has been completed. Once the conversion has completed,  
the LTC2379-18 powers down and begins acquiring the  
input signal.

best performance. With a shift clock frequency of at least

Since SDO is shared, the RDL/SDꢁ input of each ADC must  
be used to allow only one LTC2379-18 to drive SDO at a  
timeinordertoavoidbusconflicts. AsshowninFigure14,  
the RDL/SDꢁ inputs idle high and are individually brought  
low to read data out of each device between conversions.  
When RDL/SDꢁ is brought low, the MSꢀ of the selected

BOARD LAYOUT  
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2379-18  
a printed circuit board is recommended. Layout for the  
printed circuit board (PCꢀ) should ensure the digital and  
analog signal lines are separated as much as possible. ꢁn  
particular,careshouldbetakennottorunanydigitalclocks  
orsignalsalongsideanalogsignalsorunderneaththeADC.  
Recommended ꢀayout  
ThefollowingisanexampleofarecommendedPClayout.  
A single solid ground plane is used. ꢀypass capacitors to  
the supplies are placed as close as possible to the supply  
pins. Low impedance common returns for these bypass  
capacitors are essential to the low noise operation of the  
ADC. The analog input traces are screened by ground.
