DEMO MANUAL DC1826A

DESCRIPTION

LTC2389

18-Bit/16-Bit, 2.5Msps Low Noise,

SAR ADCs with Pin-Configurable

Analog Input Range

noise, high speed successive approximation register ADC

which operates from a single 5V supply. The following

text refers to the LTC2389-18, but also applies to the

LTC2389-16, the only difference being the number of bits.

The LTC2389-18 supports pin-configurable fully differential

(±4.096V), pseudo-differential unipolar (0V to 4.096V), and

pseudo-differential bipolar (±2.048V) analog input ranges,

allowing it to interface with multiple signal chain formats.

The LTC2389-18 achieves ±2.5LSB INL (maximum), with

no missing codes at 18 bits.

BOARD PHOTO

The DC1826A demonstrates the performance of the

LTC2389-18 in conjunction with the DC718 QuikEval™ II

data collection board.

The demonstration circuit 1826A is intended to demon-

strate recommended grounding, component placement

and selection, routing and bypassing for this ADC. Several

suggested driver circuits for the analog inputs will be

presented.
