  ltc2413 1 sn2413 2413fs the ltc ? 2413 is a 2.7v to 5.5v simultaneous 50hz/60hz rejection micropower 24-bit differential ds analog to digital converter with an integrated oscillator, 2ppm inl and 0.16ppm rms noise. it uses delta-sigma technology and provides single cycle settling time for multiplexed applications. through a single pin, the ltc2413 can be configured for better than 87db input differential mode rejection over the range of 49hz to 61.2hz (50hz and 60hz 2% simultaneously), or it can be driven by an external oscillator for a user defined rejection frequency. the internal oscillator requires no external frequency setting components. the converter accepts any external differential reference voltage from 0.1v to v cc for flexible ratiometric and remote sensing measurement configurations. the full- scale differential input range is from C 0.5v ref to 0.5v ref . the reference common mode voltage, v refcm , and the input common mode voltage, v incm , may be indepen- dently set anywhere within the gnd to v cc range of the ltc2413. the dc common mode input rejection is better than 140db. the ltc2413 communicates through a flexible 3-wire digital interface which is compatible with spi and microwire tm protocols. n direct sensor digitizer n weight scales n direct temperature measurement n gas analyzers n strain-gauge transducers n instrumentation n data acquisition n industrial process control n 6-digit dvms n products for international markets , ltc and lt are registered trademarks of linear technology corporation. n simultaneous 50hz/60hz rejection (87db minimum) n differential input and differential reference with gnd to v cc common mode range n 2ppm inl and no missing codes at 24 bits n 0.1ppm offset and 2.5ppm full-scale error n 0.16ppm noise n no latency: digital filter settles in a single cycle. n internal oscillatorno external components required n 24-bit adc in narrow ssop-16 package (so-8 footprint) n single supply 2.7v to 5.5v operation n low supply current (200 m a) and auto shutdown n pin compatible with ltc2410 24-bit no latency ds tm adc, with simultaneous 50hz/60hz rejection no latency ds is a trademark of linear technology corporation. microwire is a trademark of national semiconductor corporation. v cc f o ref + ref sck in + in sdo gnd cs 214 3 4 13 5 6 12 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 11 reference voltage 0.1v to v cc analog input range 0.5v ref to 0.5v ref 3-wire spi interface 1 f 2.7v to 5.5v ltc2413 2413 ta01 = external clock source = internal osc/ simultaneous 50hz/60hz rejection input frequency (hz) 48 50 52 54 56 58 60 62 normal mode reection (db) 2413 ta02 ?0 ?5 ?0 ?5 100 105 110 115 120 v cc = 5v ref + = 5v ref = gnd v incm = 2.5v v in(p-p) = 5v t a = 25 c measured data calculated data applicatio s u features typical applicatio u descriptio u measured noise rejection from 48hz to 62.5hz

ltc2413 12 sn2413 2413fs once cs is pulled low, the device begins outputting the conversion result. there is no latency in the conversion result. the data output corresponds to the conversion just performed. this result is shifted out on the serial data out pin (sdo) under the control of the serial clock (sck). data is updated on the falling edge of sck allowing the user to reliably latch data on the rising edge of sck (see figure 3). the data output state is concluded once 32 bits are read out of the adc or when cs is brought high. the device automatically initiates a new conversion and the cycle repeats. through timing control of the cs and sck pins, the ltc2413 offers several flexible modes of operation (internal or external sck and free-running conversion modes). these various modes do not require program- ming configuration registers; moreover, they do not dis- turb the cyclic operation described above. these modes of operation are described in detail in the serial interface timing modes section. 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 de- signed to simultaneously reject line frequencies of 50hz and 60hz plus their harmonics. the filter rejection perfor- mance is directly related to the accuracy of the converter system clock. the ltc2413 incorporates a highly accu- rate on-chip oscillator. this eliminates the need for exter- nal frequency setting components such as crystals or oscillators. the ltc2413 achieves a minimum of 87db over the range of 49hz to 61.2hz. ease of use the ltc2413 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 ltc2413 performs offset and full-scale calibrations in every conversion cycle. this calibration is transparent to the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation de- scribed above. the advantage of continuous calibration is extreme stability of offset and full-scale readings with re- spect to time, supply voltage change and temperature drift. power-up sequence the ltc2413 automatically enters an internal reset state when the power supply voltage v cc drops below approxi- mately 2.2v. this feature guarantees the integrity of the conversion result and of the serial interface mode selec- tion. (see the 2-wire i/o sections in the serial interface timing modes section.) when the v cc voltage rises above this critical threshold, the converter creates an internal power-on-reset (por) signal with a duration of approximately 0.5ms. the por signal clears all internal registers. following the por signal, the ltc2413 starts a normal conversion cycle and follows the succession of states described above. 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. reference voltage range this converter accepts a truly differential external refer- ence voltage. the absolute/common mode voltage speci- fication for the ref + and ref C pins covers the entire range from gnd to v cc . for correct converter operation, the ref + pin must always be more positive than the ref C pin. the ltc2413 can accept a differential reference voltage from 0.1v to v cc . the converter output noise is deter- mined by the thermal noise of the front-end circuits, and as such, its value in nanovolts is nearly constant with reference voltage. a decrease in reference voltage will not significantly improve the converters effective resolution. on the other hand, a reduced reference voltage will im- prove the converters overall inl performance. a reduced reference voltage will also improve the converter perfor- mance when operated with an external conversion clock (external f o signal) at substantially higher output data rates (see the output data rate section). applicatio s i for atio wu u u

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). 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 period) then immediately begins outputting data. the data output cycle begins on the first rising edge of sck and ends after the 32nd rising edge. data is shifted out 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 32nd rising edge of sck. after the 32nd rising edge, sdo goes high (eoc = 1) indicating a new conversion is in progress. sck remains high during the conversion. figure 11. internal serial clock, cs = 0 continuous operation sdo sck (internal) cs lsb 24 msb sig bit 5 bit 0 bit 27 bit 26 bit 28 bit 29 bit 30 eoc bit 31 sleep data output conversion conversion 2413 f11 v cc f o ref + ref sck in + in sdo gnd cs 214 3 4 13 5 6 12 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 11 reference voltage 0.1v to v cc analog input range 0.5v ref to 0.5v ref 1 f 2.7v to 5.5v ltc2413 = external oscillator = internal osc/simultaneous 50hz/60hz rejection 2-wire i/o

ltc2413 23 sn2413 2413fs applicatio s i for atio wu u u cs is discharging; therefore, the internal serial clock timing mode is automatically selected if sck is floating. it is important to ensure there are no external drivers pulling sck low while cs is discharging. preserving the converter accuracy the ltc2413 is designed to reduce as much as possible the conversion result sensitivity to device decoupling, pcb layout, antialiasing circuits, line frequency perturba- tions and so on. nevertheless, in order to preserve the extreme accuracy capability of this part, some simple precautions are desirable. digital signal levels the ltc2413s digital interface is easy to use. its digital inputs (f o , cs and sck in external sck mode of operation) accept standard ttl/cmos logic levels and the internal hysteresis receivers can tolerate edge rates as slow as 100 m s. 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 (v cc C 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 (f o , cs and sck in external sck mode of operation) is within this range, the ltc2413 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 [v il < 0.4v and v ih > (v cc C 0.4v)]. during the conversion period, the undershoot and/or overshoot of a fast digital signal connected to the ltc2413 pins may severely disturb the analog to digital conversion process. undershoot and overshoot can occur because of the impedance mismatch at the converter pin when the transition time of an external control signal is less than twice the propagation delay from the driver to ltc2413. for reference, on a regular fr-4 board, signal propagation figure 13. cs capacitance vs t sample figure 14. cs capacitance vs output rate figure 15. cs capacitance vs supply current capacitance on cs (pf) 1 5 6 7 1000 10000 2413 f13 4 3 10 100 100000 2 1 0 t sample (sec) v cc = 5v v cc = 3v capacitance on cs (pf) 0 sample rate (hz) 3 4 5 1000 100000 2413 f14 2 1 0 10 100 10000 6 7 8 v cc = 5v v cc = 3v capacitance on cs (pf) 1 0 supply current ( a rms ) 50 100 150 200 250 300 10 100 1000 10000 2413 f15 100000 v cc = 5v v cc = 3v
ltc2413 24 sn2413 2413fs applicatio s i for atio wu u u velocity is approximately 183ps/inch for internal traces and 170ps/inch for surface traces. thus, a driver gener- ating 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 ltc2413 pin will eliminate this problem but will increase the driver power dissipation. a series resistor between 27 w and 56 w placed near the driver or near the ltc2413 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 multiple ground pins used in this package configuration, as well as the differential input and reference architecture, reduce substantially the converters sensitivity to ground currents. particular attention must be given to the connection of the f o signal when the ltc2413 is used with an external conversion clock. this clock is active during the conver- sion 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 may result in dc gain and inl errors. a normal mode signal of this frequency at the converter input terminals may result in a dc offset error. such perturbations may occur due to asymmetric capacitive coupling between the f o signal trace and the converter input and/or reference connection traces. an immediate solution is to maintain maximum possible separation between the f o signal trace and the input/reference sig- nals. when the f o signal is parallel terminated near the converter, substantial ac current is flowing in the loop formed by the f o connection trace, the termination and the ground return path. thus, perturbation signals may be inductively coupled into the converter input and/or refer- ence. in this situation, the user must reduce to a minimum the loop area for the f o signal as well as the loop area for the differential input and reference connections. driving the input and reference the input and reference pins of the ltc2413 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 ca- pacitors are switching between these four pins transfering small amounts of charge in the process. a simplified equivalent circuit is shown in figure 16. for a simple approximation, the source impedance r s driving an analog input pin (in + , in C , ref + or ref C ) can be considered to form, together with r sw and c eq (see figure 16), a first order passive network with a time constant t = (r s + r sw ) ? c eq . 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 t . 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. when using the internal oscillator (f o = low), the ltc2413s front-end switched-capacitor network is clocked at 69900hz corresponding to a 14.3 m s sampling period. thus, for settling errors of less than 1ppm, the driving source impedance should be chosen such that t 14.3 m s/14 = 1.02 m s. when an external oscillator of frequency f eosc is used, the sampling period is 2/f eosc and, for a settling error of less than 1ppm, t 0.14/f eosc . input current if complete settling occurs on the input, conversion re- sults will be unaffected by the dynamic input current. an incomplete settling of the input signal sampling process may result in gain and offset errors, but it will not degrade the inl performance of the converter. figure 16 shows the mathematical expressions for the average bias currents flowing through the in + and in C pins as a result of the sampling charge transfers when integrated over a sub- stantial time period (longer than 64 internal clock cycles).

ltc2413 26 sn2413 2413fs applicatio s i for atio wu u u for relatively small values of input capacitance (c in < 0.01 m f), 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 c in will deteriorate the converter offset and gain performance without significant benefits of signal filtering and the user is advised to avoid them. nevertheless, when small values of c in are unavoidably present as parasitics of input multiplexers, wires, connectors or sensors, the ltc2413 can maintain its exceptional accuracy while operating with relative large values of source resistance as shown in figures 18 and 19. these measured results may be slightly different from the first order approximation suggested earlier because they include the effect of the actual second order input network together with the non- linear settling process of the input amplifiers. for small c in values, the settling on in + and in C occurs almost indepen- dently and there is little benefit in trying to match the source impedance for the two pins. larger values of input capacitors (c in > 0.01 m f) may be required in certain configurations for antialiasing or gen- eral input signal filtering. such capacitors will average the input sampling charge and the external source resistance will see a quasi constant input differential impedance. when internal oscillator is used (f o = low), the typical differential input resistance is 2m w which will generate a gain error of approximately 0.25ppm for each ohm of source resistance driving in + or in C . when f o is driven by an external oscillator with a frequency f eosc (external conversion clock operation), the typical differential input resistance is 0.28 ? 10 12 /f eosc w and each ohm of source resistance driving in + or in C will result in 1.78 ? 10 C6 ? f eosc ppm gain error. the effect of the source resistance on the two input pins is additive with respect to this gain error. the typical +fs and Cfs errors as a function of the sum of the source resistance seen by in + and in C for large values of c in are shown in figures 20 and 21. in addition to this gain error, an offset error term may also appear. the offset error is proportional with the mismatch between the source impedance driving the two input pins in + and in C and with the difference between the input and reference common mode voltages. while the input drive circuit nonzero source impedance combined with the converter average input current will not degrade the inl performance, indirect distortion may result from the modu- lation of the offset error by the common mode component of the input signal. thus, when using large c in capacitor values, it is advisable to carefully match the source imped- ance seen by the in + and in C pins. when internal oscillator is used (f o = low), every 1 w mismatch in source imped- ance transforms a full-scale common mode input signal into a differential mode input signal of 0.25ppm. when f o is driven by an external oscillator with a frequency f eosc , every 1 w mismatch in source impedance transforms a full-scale common mode input signal into a differential mode input signal of 1.78 ? 10 C6 ? f eosc ppm. figure 22 shows the typical offset error due to input common mode voltage for various values of source resistance imbalance between the in + and in C pins when large c in values are used. if possible, it is desirable to operate with the input signal common mode voltage very close to the reference signal common mode voltage as is the case in the ratiometric measurement of a symmetric bridge. this configuration eliminates the offset error caused by mismatched source impedances. 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 typical 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 C , the expected drift of the dynamic current, offset and gain errors will be insignificant (about 1% of their respec- tive values over the entire temperature and voltage range). even for the most stringent applications a one-time cali- bration 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 100 w source resistance will create a 0.1 m v typical and 1 m v maximum offset voltage.

ltc2413 34 sn2413 2413fs applicatio s i for atio wu u u the user can expect to achieve in practice this level of performance using the internal oscillator, as it is demon- strated by figure 41. typical measured values of the normal mode rejection of the ltc2413 operating with the internal oscillator are shown in figure 41 superimposed over the theoretical calculated curve. as a result of these remarkable normal mode specifica- tions, minimal (if any) antialias filtering is required in front of the ltc2413. if passive rc components are placed in front of the ltc2413, the input dynamic current should be considered (see input current section). in cases where large effective rc time constants are used, an external buffer amplifier may be required to minimize the effects of dynamic input current. traditional high order delta-sigma modulators, while pro- viding very good linearity and resolution, suffer from po- tential instabilities at large input signal levels. the propri- etary architecture used for the ltc2413 third order modu- lator resolves this problem and guarantees a predictable stable behavior at input signal levels of up to 150% of full scale. in many industrial applications, it is not uncommon to have to measure microvolt level signals superimposed over volt level perturbations and ltc2413 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 v ref = 5v, the ltc2413 has a full-scale differential input figure 41. input normal mode rejection vs input frequency with input perturbation of 100% of full scale input frequency (hz) 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 normal mode rejection (db) 2413 f41 0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 100 120 v cc = 5v ref + = 5v ref = gnd v incm = 2.5v v in(p-p) = 5v t a = 25 c measured data calculated data

ltc2413 37 sn2413 2413fs applicatio s i for atio wu u u has common mode rejection far beyond that of most amplifiers. the ltc1051 is a dual autozero amplifier that can be used to produce a gain of 15 before its input referred noise dominates the ltc2413 noise. this ex- ample shows a gain of 34, that is determined by a feedback network built using a resistor array containing 8 individual resistors. the resistors are organized to optimize tem- perature tracking in the presence of thermal gradients. the second ltc1051 buffers the low noise input stage from the transient load steps produced during conversion. the gain stability and accuracy of this approach is very good, due to a statistical improvement in resistor match- ing due to individual error contribution being reduced. a gain of 34 may seem low, when compared to common practice in earlier generations of load-cell interfaces, how- ever the accuracy of the ltc2413 changes the rationale. achieving high gain accuracy and linearity at higher gains may prove difficult, while providing little benefit in terms of noise reduction. at a gain of 100, the gain error that could result from typical open-loop gain of 160db is C1ppm, however, worst-case is at the minimum gain of 116db, giving a gain error of C158ppm. worst-case gain error at a gain of 34, is C54ppm. the use of the ltc1051a reduces the worst- case gain error to C33ppm. the advantage of gain higher than 34, then becomes dubious, as the input referred noise sees little improvement 1 and gain accuracy is poten- tially compromised. note that this 4-amplifier topology has advantages over the typical integrated 3-amplifier instrumentation ampli- fier in that it does not have the high noise level common in the output stage that usually dominates when an instru- mentation amplifier is used at low gain. if this amplifier is used at a gain of 10, the gain error is only 10ppm and input referred noise is reduced to 0.1 m v rms . the buffer stages can also be configured to provide gain of up to 50 with high gain stability and linearity. figure 45 shows an example of a single amplifier used to produce single-ended gain. this topology is best used in applications where the gain setting resistor can be made to match the temperature coefficient of the strain gauges. if the bridge is composed of precision resistors, with only one or two variable elements, the reference arm of the bridge can be made to act in conjunction with the feedback resistor to determine the gain. if the feedback resistor is incorporated into the design of the load cell, using resis- tors which match the temperature coefficient of the load- cell elements, good results can be achieved without the need for resistors with a high degree of absolute accuracy. the common mode voltage in this case, is again a function of the bridge output. differential gain as used with a 350 w bridge is a v = (r1+ r2)/(r1+175 w ). common mode gain is half the differential gain. the maximum differential signal that can be used is 1/4 v ref , as opposed to 1/2 v ref in the 2-amplifier topology above. remote half bridge interface as opposed to full bridge applications, typical half bridge applications must contend with nonlinearity in the bridge output, as signal swing is often much greater. applications include rtds, thermistors and other resistive elements that undergo significant changes over their span. for single variable element bridges, the nonlinearity of the half bridge output can be eliminated completely; if the refer- ence arm of the bridge is used as the reference to the adc, as shown in figure 46. the ltc2413 can accept inputs up to 1/2 v ref . hence, the reference resistor r1 must be at least 2x the highest value of the variable resistor. in the case of 100 w platinum rtds, this would suggest a value of 800 w for r1. such a low value for r1 is not advisable due to self-heating effects. a value of 25.5k is shown for r1, reducing self-heating effects to acceptable levels for most sensors. 1 input referred noise for a v = 34 for approximately 0.05 m v rms , whereas at a gain of 50, it would be 0.048 m v rms .
