LTC2238/LTC2237/LTC2236

223876fa

Data Format

Using the MODE pin, the LTC2238/LTC2237/LTC2236

parallel digital output can be selected for offset binary or

2’s complement format. Connecting MODE to GND or

1/3VDD selects offset binary output format. Connecting

MODE to 2/3VDD or VDD selects 2’s complement output

format. An external resistor divider can be used to set the

1/3VDD or 2/3VDD logic values. Table 2 shows the logic

states for the MODE pin.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

Sleep and Nap Modes

The converter may be placed in shutdown or nap modes

to conserve power. Connecting SHDN to GND results in

normal operation. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to VDD

results in sleep mode, which powers down all circuitry

including the reference and typically dissipates 1mW. When

exiting sleep mode it will take milliseconds for the output

data to become valid because the reference capacitors have

to recharge and stabilize. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE

to GND results in nap mode, which typically dissipates

15mW. In nap mode, the on-chip reference circuit is kept

on, so that recovery from nap mode is faster than that from

sleep mode, typically taking 100 clock cycles. In both sleep

and nap modes, all digital outputs are disabled and enter

the Hi-Z state.

Grounding and Bypassing

The LTC2238/LTC2237/LTC2236 requires a printed cir-

cuit board with a clean, unbroken ground plane. A multi-

layer board with an internal ground plane is recom-

mended. Layout for the printed circuit board should en-

sure that digital and analog signal lines are separated as

much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not

to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track or

underneath the ADC.

High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used at

the VDD, OVDD, VCM, REFH, and REFL pins. Bypass capaci-

tors must be located as close to the pins as possible. Of

particular importance is the 0.1

µF capacitor between

REFH and REFL. This capacitor should be placed as close

to the device as possible (1.5mm or less). A size 0402

ceramic capacitor is recommended. The large 2.2

µF ca-

pacitor between REFH and REFL can be somewhat further

away. The traces connecting the pins and bypass capaci-

tors must be kept short and should be made as wide as

possible.

The LTC2238/LTC2237/LTC2236 differential inputs should

run parallel and close to each other. The input traces

should be as short as possible to minimize capacitance

and to minimize noise pickup.

Overflow Bit

When OF outputs a logic high the converter is either

overranged or underranged.

Output Driver Power

Separate output power and ground pins allow the output

drivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The power

supply for the digital output buffers, OVDD, should be tied

to the same power supply as for the logic being driven. For

example if the converter is driving a DSP powered by a 1.8V

supply, then OVDD should be tied to that same 1.8V supply.

OVDD can be powered with any voltage from 500mV up to

3.6V. OGND can be powered with any voltage from GND up

to 1V and must be less than OVDD. The logic outputs will

swing between OGND and OVDD.

Output Enable

The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin, OE.

OE high disables all data outputs including OF. The data ac-

cess and bus relinquish times are too slow to allow the

outputs to be enabled and disabled during full speed op-

eration. The output Hi-Z state is intended for use during long

periods of inactivity.
