manyapplications.Withitssmallsize,lowpower,andhigh

accuracy, the LTC6655-2.048 is well suited for use with

the LTC2373-16 when overdriving the internal reference.

The LTC6655-2.048 offers 0.025% (max) initial accuracy

and 2ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient for high pre-

cision applications. The LTC6655-2.048 is fully specified

over the H-grade temperature range and complements

the extended temperature range of the LTC2373-16 up to

125°C.BypassingtheLTC6655-2.048witha2.7μFto100μF

ceramic capacitor close to the REFIN pin is recommended.

External Reference Unbuffered

The internal reference buffer can also be overdriven from

2.5V to 5V with an external reference at REFBUF as shown

inFigure12c.Todoso,REFINmustbegroundedtodisable

the reference buffer. A 13k resistor loads the REFBUF pin

whenthereferencebufferisdisabled.Tomaximizetheinput

signal swing and corresponding SNR, the LTC6655-5 is

recommendedwhenoverdrivingREFBUF.TheLTC6655-5

offers the same small size, accuracy, drift and extended

temperature range as the LTC6655-2.048. By using a 5V

reference, an SNR of 97dB can be achieved. Bypassing

the LTC6655-5 with a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X5R, 0805

size) close to the REFBUF pin is recommended.

Figure 13. CNV Waveform Showing Burst Sampling

external reference must provide all of this charge with a

DC current equivalent to IREFBUF = QCONV/tCYC. Thus, the

DC current draw of REFBUF depends on the sampling rate

and output code. In applications where a burst of samples

is taken after idling for long periods, as shown in Figure 13,

IREFBUF quickly goes from approximately 380µA to a maxi-

mum of 1.2mA for REFBUF = 5V at 1Msps. This step in DC

current draw triggers a transient response in the external

reference that must be considered since any deviation in

the voltage at REFBUF will affect the accuracy of the output

code. If an external reference is used to overdrive REFBUF,

the fast settling LTC6655-5 reference is recommended.

Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response

Foroptimumtransientperformance,theinternalreference

buffer should be used. The internal reference buffer uses a

proprietary design that results in an output voltage change

at REFBUF of less than 1LSB when responding to a sudden

burst of conversions. This makes the internal reference

buffer of the LTC2373-16 truly single-shot capable since

the first sample taken after idling will yield the same re-

sult as a sample taken after the transient response of the

internal reference buffer has settled. Figures 14a, 14b,

and 14c show the transient responses of the LTC2373-

16 with the internal reference buffer and with the internal

reference buffer overdriven by the LTC6655-5, both with

a bypass capacitance of 47μF in fully differential, pseudo-

differential unipolar, and pseudo-differential bipolar input

ranges, respectively.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

Fast fourier transform (FFT) techniques are used to test the

ADC’s frequency response, distortion and noise at the rated

throughput. By applying a low distortion sine wave and ana-

lyzing the digital output using an FFT algorithm, the ADC’s

spectralcontentcanbeexaminedforfrequenciesoutsidethe

fundamental. The LTC2373-16 provides guaranteed tested

limits for both AC distortion and noise measurements.
