ltc2430/ltc2431 11 24301f converter operation converter operation cycle the ltc2430/ltc2431 are low power, delta-sigma analog- to-digital converters with an easy-to-use 3-wire serial inter- face (see figure 1). their operation is made up of three states. the converters operating cycle begins with the conversion, followed by the low power sleep state and ends with the data output (see figure 2). the 3-wire interface consists of serial data output (sdo), serial clock (sck) and chip select (cs). initially, the ltc2430/ltc2431 perform a conversion. once the conversion is complete, the device enters the sleep state. the part remains in the sleep state as long as cs is high. while in this sleep state, power consumption is reduced by nearly two orders of magnitude. the conver- sion result is held indefinitely in a static shift register while the converter is in the sleep state. once cs is pulled low, the device exits the low power mode and enters the data output state. if cs is pulled high be- fore the first rising edge of sck, the device returns to the low power sleep mode and the conversion result is still held in the internal static shift register. if cs remains low after the first rising edge of sck, the device begins outputting the conversion result. taking cs high at this point will terminate the data output state and start a new conversion. there is no latency in the conversion result. the data out- put 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 24 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 ltc2430/ltc2431 offer several flexible modes of operation (internal or external sck and free-running conversion modes). these various modes do not require programming configuration registers; moreover, they do not disturb 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 typically designed to reject line frequencies of 50hz or 60hz plus their harmonics. the filter rejection perfor- mance is directly related to the accuracy of the converter system clock. the ltc2430/ltc2431 incorporate a highly accurate on-chip oscillator. this eliminates the need for external frequency setting components such as crystals or oscillators. clocked by the on-chip oscillator, the ltc2430/ ltc2431 achieve a minimum of 110db rejection at the line frequency (50hz or 60hz 2%). ease of use the ltc2430/ltc2431 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 inputs is easy. the ltc2430/ltc2431 perform offset and full-scale cali- brations in every conversion cycle. this calibration is trans- parent to the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation described above. the advantage of continuous calibration is extreme stability of offset and full-scale readings with respect to time, supply voltage change and temperature drift. figure 2. ltc2430/ltc2431 state transition diagram convert sleep data output 2431 f02 true false cs = low and sck applicatio s i for atio wu uu
ltc2430/ltc2431 12 24301f power-up sequence the ltc2430/ltc2431 automatically enter an internal reset state when the power supply voltage v cc drops below approximately 2v. this feature guarantees the integrity of the conversion result and of the serial interface mode selection. (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 ltc2430 or ltc2431 creates an internal power-on- reset (por) signal with a duration of approximately 1ms. the por signal clears all internal registers. following the por signal, the converter starts a normal conversion cycle and follows the succession of states described above. the first conversion result following por is accu- rate 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 the ltc2430/ltc2431 accept a 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 ltc2430/ltc2431 can accept a differential reference voltage from 0.1v to v cc . the converter (ltc2430 or ltc2431) output noise is determined by the thermal noise of the front-end circuits, and, as such, its value in micro- volts is nearly constant with reference voltage. a decrease in reference voltage will not significantly improve the converters effective resolution. on the other hand, a re- duced reference voltage will improve the converters over- all inl performance. a reduced reference voltage will also improve the converter performance when operated with an external conversion clock (external f o signal) at sub- stantially higher output data rates. input voltage range the analog input is truly differential with an absolute/com- mon mode range for the in + and in C input pins extending from gnd C 0.3v to v cc + 0.3v. outside these limits, the esd protection devices begin to turn on and the errors due to input leakage current increase rapidly. within these lim- its, the ltc2430 or ltc2431 converts the bipolar differen- tial input signal, v in = in + C in C , from C fs = C 0.5 ? v ref to +fs = 0.5 ? v ref where v ref = ref + C ref C . outside this range the converter indicates the overrange or the underrange condition using distinct output codes. input signals applied to in + and in C pins may extend by 300mv below ground and above v cc . in order to limit any fault current, resistors of up to 5k may be added in series with the in + and in C pins without affecting the performance of the device. in the physical layout, it is important to main- tain the parasitic capacitance of the connection between these series resistors and the corresponding pins as low as possible; therefore, the resistors should be located as close as practical to the pins. in addition, series resistors will introduce a temperature dependent offset error due to the input leakage current. a 1na input leakage current will develop a 1ppm offset error on a 5k resistor if v ref = 5v. this error has a very strong temperature dependency. output data format the ltc2430/ltc2431 serial output data stream is 24 bits long. the first 3 bits represent status information indicat- ing the sign and conversion state. the next 21 bits are the conversion result, msb first. the third and fourth bits to- gether are also used to indicate an underrange condition (the differential input voltage is below C fs) or an overrange condition (the differential input voltage is above + fs). bit 23 (first output bit) is the end of conversion (eoc) indicator. this bit is available at the sdo pin during the conversion and sleep states whenever the cs pin is low. this bit is high during the conversion and goes low when the conversion is complete. bit 22 (second output bit) is a dummy bit (dmy) and is always low. bit 21 (third output bit) is the conversion result sign indi- cator (sig). if v in is >0, this bit is high. if v in is <0, this bit is low. bit 20 (fourth output bit) is the most significant bit (msb) of the result. this bit in conjunction with bit 21 also provides the underrange or overrange indication. if both bit 21 and bit 20 are high, the differential input voltage is applicatio s i for atio wu uu

conversion cycle, cs may be pulled low in order to monitor the state of the converter. once cs is pulled low, sck goes low and eoc is output to the sdo pin. eoc = 1 while a conversion is in progress and eoc = 0 if the device is in the sleep state. when testing eoc, if the conversion is complete (eoc = 0), the device will exit the sleep state and enter the data output state if cs remains low. in order to allow the device to return to the low power sleep state, cs must be pulled high before the first rising edge of sck. in the internal sck timing mode, sck goes high and the device begins outputting data at time t eoctest after the falling edge of cs (if eoc = 0) or t eoctest after eoc goes low (if cs is low during the falling edge of eoc). the value of t eoctest is 23 m s if the device is using its internal oscillator (f o = logic low or high). if f o is driven by an external oscillator of frequency f eosc , then t eoctest is 3.6/f eosc . if cs is pulled high before time t eoctest , the device returns to the sleep state. the conversion result is held in the internal static shift register. if cs remains low longer than t eoctest , the first rising edge of sck will occur and the conversion result is serially shifted out of the sdo pin. the data output cycle begins on this first rising edge of sck and concludes after the 24th 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 on the 24th rising edge of sck. after the 24th rising edge, sdo goes high (eoc = 1), sck stays high and a new conversion starts. typically, cs remains low during the data output state. however, the data output state may be aborted by pulling cs high anytime between the first and 24th rising edge of sck, see figure 9. on the rising edge of cs, the device aborts the data output state and immediately initiates a new conversion. this is useful for systems not requiring all 24 bits of output data, aborting an invalid conversion cycle, or synchronizing the start of a conversion. if cs is pulled high while the converter is driving sck low, the figure 9. internal serial clock, reduced data output length applicatio s

serial clock mode on the next falling edge of cs. this can be avoided by adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to the sck pin or by never pulling cs high when sck is low. whenever sck is low, the ltc2430/ltc2431 s internal pull-up at pin sck is disabled. normally, sck is not exter- nally driven if the device is in the internal sck timing mode. however, certain applications may require an external driver on sck. if this driver goes hi-z after outputting a low signal, the ltc2430/ltc2431 s internal pull-up remains disabled. hence, sck remains low. on the next falling edge of cs, the device is switched to the external sck timing mode. by adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to sck, this pin goes high once the external driver goes hi-z. on the next cs falling edge, the device will remain in the in- ternal sck timing mode. a similar situation may occur during the sleep state when cs is pulsed high-low-high in order to test the conver- sion status. if the device is in the sleep state (eoc = 0), sck will go low. once cs goes high (within the time period defined above as t eoctest ), the internal pull-up is activated. for a heavy capacitive load on the sck pin, the internal pull-up may not be adequate to return sck to a high level before cs goes low again. this is not a concern under normal conditions where cs remains low after detecting eoc = 0. this situation is easily overcome by adding an external 10k pull-up resistor to the sck pin. internal serial clock, 2-wire i/o, continuous conversion this timing mode uses a 2-wire, all output (sck and sdo) interface. the conversion result is shifted out of the device by an internally generated serial clock (sck) signal, see figure 10. cs may be permanently tied to ground, simpli- fying the user interface or isolation barrier. the internal serial clock mode is selected at the end of the power-on reset (por) cycle. the por cycle is concluded approximately 1ms after v cc exceeds 2v. an internal weak pull-up is active during the por cycle; 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 figure 10. internal serial clock, cs = 0 continuous operation applicatio s i for atio wu uu sdo sck

ltc2430/ltc2431 21 24301f 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 24th 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 24th rising edge of sck. after the 24th rising edge, sdo goes high (eoc = 1) indicating a new conversion is in progress. sck remains high during the conversion. preserving the converter accuracy the ltc2430/ltc2431 are designed to reduce as much as possible the conversion result sensitivity to device decoupling, pcb layout, antialiasing circuits, line fre- quency perturbations and so on. nevertheless, in order to preserve the extreme accuracy capability of this part, some simple precautions are desirable. digital signal levels the ltc2430/ltc2431s digital interface is easy to use. the 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 ltc2430/ltc2431 power supply current may in- crease 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 oh > (v cc C 0.4v)]. during the conversion period, the undershoot and/or overshoot of a fast digital signal connected to the ltc2430/ ltc2431 pins may severely disturb the analog to digital conversion process. undershoot and overshoot can oc- cur 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 ltc2430/ltc2431 . for reference, on a regular fr-4 board, signal propagation velocity is approximately 183ps/inch for internal traces and 170ps/inch for surface traces. thus, a driver generating 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 ltc2430/ltc2431 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 ltc2431 pin will also eliminate this problem without additional power dissipa- tion. 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 differential input and refer- ence architecture reduce substantially the converters sensitivity to ground currents. particular attention must be given to the connection of the f o signal when the converter (ltc2430 or ltc2431) is used with an external conversion clock. this clock is active during the conversion 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 into dc gain and inl errors. a normal mode signal of this frequency at the converter input terminals may result into a dc offset error. such perturbations may occur due to asymmetric capaci- tive 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 applicatio s i for atio wu uu
ltc2430/ltc2431 22 24301f 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 converter (ltc2430 or ltc2431) are directly connected to a network of sampling capacitors. depending upon the relation between the dif- ferential input voltage and the differential reference volt- age, these capacitors are switching between these four pins transfering small amounts of charge in the process. a simplified equivalent circuit is shown in figure 11. 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 11), 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 or high), the ltc2430/ltc2431s front-end switched-capacitor net- work is clocked at 76800hz corresponding to a 13 m s sampling period. thus, for settling errors of less than 1ppm, the driving source impedance should be chosen such that t 13 m s/14 = 920ns. 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 11 shows the mathematical expressions for the average bias currents flowing through the in + and in C pins as a result of the applicatio s i for atio wu uu figure 11. ltc2430/ltc2431 equivalent analog input circuit v ref + v in + v cc r sw (typ) 20k i leak i leak v cc i leak i leak v cc r sw (typ) 20k c eq 6pf (typ) r sw (typ) 20k i leak i in + v in i in i ref + i ref 2431 f11 i leak v cc i leak i leak switching frequency f sw = 76800hz internal oscillator (f o = low or high) f sw = 0.5 ?f eosc external oscillator v ref r sw (typ) 20k iin vv v r iin vv v r iref vv v r v vr i ref vv v r v vr where avg in incm refcm eq avg in incm refcm eq avg ref incm refcm eq in ref eq avg ref incm refcm eq in ref eq + - + - () = +- () = -+ - () = - + - () = - - + + 05 05 15 05 15 05 2 2 . . . . . . :: . . ./ v ref ref v ref ref vinin v in in r m internal oscillator hz notch f low r m internal oscillator hz notch f high r f external oscillator ref refcm in incm eq o eq o eq eosc =- = + ? ? ? ? =- = - ? ? ? ? == () == () = () +- +- +- +- 2 2 43 2 60 52 0 50 666 10 12 w w

ltc2430/ltc2431 24 24301f 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 figure 15. 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 f o = low (internal oscillator and 60hz notch), every 1 w mismatch in source impedance transforms a full-scale common mode input signal into a differential mode input signal of 0.023ppm. when f o = high (internal oscillator and 50hz notch), every 1 w mismatch in source impedance trans- forms a full-scale common mode input signal into a differential mode input signal of 0.019ppm. 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 0.15 ? 10 C6 ? f eosc ppm. figure 16 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 typically better than 1%. such applicatio s i for atio wu uu figure 15a. + fs error vs r source at in + or in C (large c in ) figure 15b.

ltc2430/ltc2431 25 24301f 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 calibration 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. reference current in a similar fashion, the ltc2430 or ltc2431 samples the differential reference pins ref + and ref C transfering small amount of charge to and from the external driving circuits thus producing a dynamic reference current. this current does not change the converter offset, but it may degrade the gain and inl performance. the effect of this current can be analyzed in the same two distinct situations. for relatively small values of the external reference capaci- tors (c ref < 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 ref will deteriorate the converter offset and gain performance without significant benefits of reference filtering and the user is advised to avoid them. larger values of reference capacitors (c ref > 0.01 m f) may be required as reference filters in certain configura- tions. such capacitors will average the reference sam- pling charge and the external source resistance will see a quasi constant reference differential impedance. when f o = low (internal oscillator and 60hz notch), the typical differential reference resistance is 15.6m w which will generate a gain error of approximately 0.032ppm for each ohm of source resistance driving ref + or ref C . when f o = high (internal oscillator and 50hz notch), the typical differential reference resistance is 18.7m w which will generate a gain error of approximately 0.027ppm for each ohm of source resistance driving ref + or ref C . when f o is driven by an external oscillator with a frequency f eosc (external conversion clock operation), the typical differ- ential reference resistance is 2.4 ? 10 12 /f eosc w and each ohm of source resistance drving ref + or ref C will result in 0.206 ? 10 C6 ? f eosc ppm gain error. the effect of the source resistance on the two reference pins is additive with respect to this gain error. the typical fs errors for various combinations of source resistance seen by the ref + and ref C pins and external capacitance c ref con- nected to these pins are shown in figures 17 and 18. typical C fs errors are similar to + fs errors with opposite polarity. in addition to this gain error, the converter inl perfor- mance is degraded by the reference source impedance. when f o = low (internal oscillator and 60hz notch), every 100 w of source resistance driving ref + or ref C translates applicatio s i for atio wu uu figure 17b.

ltc2430/ltc2431 29 24301f an infinite bandwidth source and 216nv/ ? hz for a single 0.5mhz pole source. from these numbers, it is clear that particular attention must be given to the design of external amplification circuits. such circuits face the simultaneous requirements of very low bandwidth (just a few hz) in order to reduce the output referred noise and relatively high bandwidth (at least 500khz) necessary to drive the input switched-capacitor network. a possible solution is a high gain, low bandwidth amplifier stage followed by a high bandwidth unity-gain buffer. when external amplifiers are driving the ltc2430/ ltc2431, the adc input referred system noise calculation can be simplified by figure 29. the noise of an amplifier driving the ltc2430/ltc2431 input pin can be modeled as a band-limited white noise source. its bandwidth can be approximated by the bandwidth of a single pole lowpass filter with a corner frequency f i . the amplifier noise spec- tral density is n i . from figure 29, using f i as the x-axis selector, we can find on the y-axis the noise equivalent bandwidth freq i of the input driving amplifier. this band- width includes the band limiting effects of the adc internal calibration and filtering. the noise of the driving amplifier referred to the converter input and including all these effects can be calculated as n = n i ? ? freq i . the total system noise (referred to the ltc2430/ltc2431 input) can now be obtained by summing as square root of sum of squares the three adc input referred noise sources: the ltc2430/ ltc2431 internal noise (2.8 m v), the noise of the in + driving amplifier and the noise of the in C driving amplifier. applicatio s i for atio wu uu figure 28. input signal bandwidth using the internal oscillator figure 26. resolution (noise rms 1lsb) vs output data rate and v cc output data rate (readings/sec) 0 15 resolution (bits) 16 18 19 20 22 10 50 70 2430 f26 17 21 40 90 100 20 30 60 80 v incm = v refcm v in = 0v f o = ext osc ref = gnd t a = 25 c res = log 2 (v ref /noise rms ) v cc = v ref = 5v v cc = 2.7v v ref = 2.5v figure 27. resolution (inl max 1lsb) vs output data rate and v cc output data rate (readings/sec) 0 15 resolution (bits) 16 18 19 20 22 10 50 70 2430 f27 17 21 40 90 100 20 30 60 80 v incm = v refcm v in = 0v f o = ext osc ref = gnd t a = 25 c res = log 2 (v ref /inl max ) v cc = v ref = 5v v cc = 2.7v v ref = 2.5v differential input signal frequency (hz) 0 input signal attenuation (db) ? ? ? 0 4 2431 f28 ? ? ? 1 2 3 5 f o = high f o = low input noise source single pole equivalent bandwidth (hz) 1 input referred noise equivalent bandwidth (hz) 10 100 1000 10 100 1k 10k 100k 1m 2431 g29 0.1 0.1 1 f o = low f o = high figure 29. input referred noise equivalent bandwidth of an input connected white noise source
ltc2430/ltc2431 30 24301f if the f o pin is driven by an external oscillator of frequency f eosc , figure 29 can still be used for noise calculation if the x-axis is scaled by f eosc /153600. for large values of the ratio f eosc /153600, the figure 29 plot accuracy begins to decrease, but in the same time the ltc2430/ltc2431 noise floor rises and the noise contribution of the driving amplifiers lose significance. normal mode rejection and antialiasing one of the advantages delta-sigma adcs offer over con- ventional adcs is on-chip digital filtering. combined with a large oversampling ratio, the ltc2430/ltc2431 signifi- cantly simplifies antialiasing filter requirements. the sinc 4 digital filter provides greater than 120db normal mode rejection at all frequencies except dc and integer multiples of the modulator sampling frequency (f s ). the ltc2430/ltc2431s autocalibration circuits further sim- plify the antialiasing requirements by additional normal mode signal filtering both in the analog and digital domain. independent of the operating mode, f s = 256 ? f n = 2048 ? f outmax where f n is the notch frequency and f outmax is the maximum output data rate. in the internal oscillator mode, f s = 12,800hz with a 50hz notch setting and f s = 15,360hz with a 60hz notch setting. in the external oscillator mode, f s = f eosc /10. the combined normal mode rejection performance is shown in figure 30 for the internal oscillator with 50hz notch setting (f o = high) and in figure 31 for the internal oscillator with f o = low and for the external oscillator mode. the regions of low rejection occurring at integer multiples of f s have a very narrow bandwidth. magnified details of the normal mode rejection curves are shown in figure 32 (rejection near dc) and figure 33 (rejection at f s = 256f n ) where f n represents the notch frequency. these curves have been derived for the external oscillator mode but they can be used in all operating modes by appropriately selecting the f n value. the user can expect to achieve in practice this level of performance using the internal oscillator as it is demon- strated by figures 34 to 36. typical measured values of the normal mode rejection of the ltc2430/ltc2431 operat- ing with an internal oscillator and a 60hz notch setting are shown in figure 34 superimposed over the theoretical calculated curve. similarly, typical measured values of the normal mode rejection of the ltc2430/ltc2431 operat- ing with an internal oscillator and a 50hz notch setting are shown in figure 35 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 ltc2430/ltc2431. if passive rc components are placed in front of the ltc2430/ltc2431, the input dy- namic 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. applicatio s i for atio wu uu figure 30. input normal mode rejection, internal oscillator and 50hz notch figure 31. input normal mode rejection, internal oscillator and f o = low or external oscillator differential input signal frequency (hz) 0f s 2f s 3f s 4f s 5f s 6f s 7f s 8f s 9f s 10f s 11f s 12f s input normal mode rejection (db) 2431 f30 0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 100 110 120 f o = high f o = low or f o = external oscillator, f eosc = 10 ?f s differential input signal frequency (hz) 0f s input normal mode rejection (db) 2431 f31 0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 100 110 120 2f s 3f s 4f s 5f s 6f s 7f s 8f s 9f s 10f s
ltc2430/ltc2431 31 24301f traditional high order delta-sigma modulators, while pro- viding very good linearity and resolution, suffer from potential instabilities at large input signal levels. the pro- prietary architecture used for the ltc2430/ltc2431 third order modulator 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 sig- nals superimposed over volt level perturbations and ltc2430/ltc2431 are eminently suited for such tasks. when the perturbation is differential, the specification of interest is the normal mode rejection for large input sig- nal levels. with a reference voltage v ref = 5v, the ltc2430/ltc2431 have a full-scale differential input range of 5v peak-to-peak. figures 36 and 37 show measure- ment results for the ltc2430/ltc2431 normal mode re- jection ratio with a 7.5v peak-to-peak (150% of full scale) input signal superimposed over the more traditional nor- mal mode rejection ratio results obtained with a 5v peak- to-peak (full scale) input signal. it is clear that the ltc2430/ ltc2431 rejection performance is maintained with no compromises in this extreme situation. when operating with large input signal levels, the user must observe that such signals do not violate the device absolute maximum ratings. applicatio s i for atio wu uu input signal frequency (hz) input normal mode rejection (db) 2431 f32 0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 100 110 120 f n 0 2f n 3f n 4f n 5f n 6f n 7f n 8f n figure 32. input normal mode rejection input signal frequency (hz) 250f n 252f n 254f n 256f n 258f n 260f n 262f n input normal mode rejection (db) 2431 f33 0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 100 110 120 figure 33. input normal mode rejection input frequency (hz) 0 15 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 180 195 210 225 240 normal mode rejection (db) 2431 f34 0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 100 120 v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v incm = 2.5v v in(p-p) = 5v f o = gnd t a = 25 c measured data calculated data figure 34. input normal mode rejection vs input frequency figure 35. input normal mode rejection vs input frequency input frequency (hz) 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 normal mode rejection (db) 2431 f35 0 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 100 120 v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v incm = 2.5v v in(p-p) = 5v f o = 5v t a = 25 c measured data calculated data

ltc2430/ltc2431 33 24301f where measurement speed is not of the utmost impor- tance. for many applications where large vessels are weighed, the average weight over an extended period of time is of concern and short term weight is not readily determined due to movement of contents, or mechanical resonance. often, large weighing applications involve load cells located at each load bearing point, the output of which can be summed passively prior to the signal pro- cessing circuitry, actively with amplification prior to the adc, or can be digitized via multiple adc channels and summed mathematically. the mathematical summation of the output of multiple ltc2430/ltc2431s provide the benefit of a root square reduction in noise. the low power consumption of the ltc2430/ltc2431 make it attractive for multidrop communication schemes where the adc is located within the load-cell housing. a direct connection to a load cell is perhaps best incorpo- rated into the load-cell body, as minimizing the distance to the sensor largely eliminates the need for protection devices, rfi suppression and wiring. the ltc2430/ ltc2431 exhibit extremely low temperature dependent drift. as a result, exposure to external ambient tempera- ture ranges does not compromise performance. the in- corporation of any amplification considerably complicates thermal stability, as input offset voltages and currents, temperature coefficient of gain settling resistors all be- come factors. the circuit in figure 39 shows an example of a simple amplification scheme. this example produces a differen- tial output with a common mode voltage of 2.5v, as determined by the bridge. the use of a true three amplifier instrumentation amplifier is not necessary, as the ltc2430/ ltc2431 have 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 10 before its input referred noise dominates the ltc2430/ltc2431 noise. this example shows a gain of 34, that is determined by a feedback network built using a resistor array containing eight individual resistors. the resistors are organized to optimize temperature 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 applicatio s i for atio wu uu 0.1 f 8 0.1 f 0.1 f ref + ref sdo sck in + in cs gnd v cc f o 5v ref 350 bridge 2431 f39 rn1 = 5k 8 resistor array u1a, u1b, u2a, u2b = 1/2 ltc1051 + 3 2 8 4 u1a 4 5v + 6 5 rn1 1 16 15 2 611 7 1 14 3 710 4 13 89 512 u1b + 2 3 u2a 5v 1 + 6 5 u2b 7 ltc2430/ ltc2431 figure 39. using autozero amplifiers to reduce input referred noise
ltc2430/ltc2431 34 24301f practice in earlier generations of load-cell interfaces, how- ever the accuracy of the ltc2430/ltc2431 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 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 0.28 m v rms . the buffer stages can also be configured to provide gain of up to 50 with high gain stability and linearity. figure 40 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 rr r v == + +w 995 12 1 175 . 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 applicatio s i for atio wu uu 0.1 f 5v ref + ref in + in gnd v cc 3 2 4 6 7 350 bridge 2431 f40 + ltc1050 5v 0.1 v r2 46.4k 20k 20k 175 1 f 10 f r1 4.99k a v = 9.95 = r1 + r2 r1 + 175 + + 1 f + ltc2430/ ltc2431 figure 40. bridge amplification using a single amplifier
ltc2430/ltc2431 35 24301f 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 41. the ltc2430/ltc2431 can accept inputs up to 1/2 v ref . hence, the reference resistor r1 must be at least 2 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. the basic circuit shown in figure 41 shows connections for a full 4-wire connection to the sensor, which may be located remotely. the differential input connections will reject induced or coupled 60hz interference, however, the reference inputs do not have the same rejection. if 60hz or other noise is present on the rtd, a low pass filter is recommended as shown in figure 42. note that you cannot place a large capacitor directly at the junction of r1 and r2, as it will store charge from the sampling process. a better approach is to produce a low pass filter decoupled from the input lines with a high value resistor (r3). the use of a third resistor in the half bridge, between the variable and fixed elements gives essentially the same result as the two resistor version, but has a few benefits. if, for example, a 25k reference resistor is used to set the excitation current with a 100 w rtd, the negative reference input is sampling the same external node as the positive input, but may result in errors if used with a long cable. for short cable applications, the errors may be acceptably low. if instead the single 25k resistor is replaced with a 10k 5% and a 10k 0.1% reference resistor, the noise level introduced at the reference, at least at higher frequencies, will be reduced. a filter can be introduced into the network, in the form of one or more capacitors, or ferrite beads, as long as the sampling pulses are not translated into an error. the reference voltage is also reduced, but this is not undesirable, as it will decrease the value of the lsb, although, not the input referred noise level. applicatio s i for atio wu uu 2431 f41 ref in + in gnd v cc v s 2.7v to 5.5v platinum 100 rtd r1 25.5k 0.1% 4 3 2 1 ref + ltc2430/ ltc2431 figure 41. remote half bridge interface ref + ref in gnd v cc 5v 2431 f42 + ltc1050 5v platinum 100 rtd 560 r3 10k 5% r1 10k, 5% r2 10k 0.1% 1 f in + 10k 10k 4 3 2 1 ltc2430/ ltc2431 figure 42. remote half bridge sensing with noise supression on reference
ltc2430/ltc2431 36 24301f the circuit shown in figure 42 shows a more rigorous example of figure 41, with increased noise suppression and more protection for remote applications. figure 43 shows an example of gain in the excitation circuit and remote feedback from the bridge. the ltc1043s provide voltage multiplication, providing 10v from a 5v reference with only 1ppm error. the amplifiers are used at unity-gain and, hence, introduce a very little error due to gain error or due to offset voltages. a 1 m v/ c offset voltage applicatio s i for atio wu uu drift translates into 0.05ppm/ c gain error. simpler alter- natives, with the amplifiers providing gain using resistor arrays for feedback, can produce results that are similar to bridge sensing schemes via attenuators. note that the amplifiers must have high open-loop gain or gain error will be a source of error. the fact that input offset voltage has relatively little effect on overall error may lead one to use low performance amplifiers for this application. note that the gain of a device such as an lf156, (25v/mv over 350 bridge 0.1 f 1 f 15v 15v 15v 38 14 7 4 13 12 11 10v 5v 15v u1 ltc1043 6 2 7 4 7 4 + ref + ref in + in gnd v cc 2431 f43 5v 47 f 0.1 f 10v + 17 5 15 6 18 3 2 u2 ltc1043 1 f film 8 14 7 4 13 12 11 * * * 5v u2 ltc1043 17 10v 10v lt1236-5 1k 33 q1 2n3904 0.1 f 15v 15v 15v 3 6 2 + 1k 33 10v 10v q2 2n3906 *flying capacitors are 1 f film (mkp or equivalent) see ltc1043 data sheet for details on unused half of u1 ltc1150 ltc1150 20 200 20 200 0.1 f 10 f + ltc2430/ ltc2431 figure 43. ltc1043 provides precise 4 reference for excitation voltages
ltc2430/ltc2431 37 24301f temperature) will produce a worst-case error of C180ppm at a noise gain of 3, such as would be encountered in an inverting gain of 2, to produce C10v from a 5v reference. the error associated with the 10v excitation would be C80ppm. hence, overall reference error could be as high as 130ppm, the average of the two. figure 45 shows a similar scheme to provide excitation using resistor arrays to produce precise gain. the circuit is configured to provide 10v and C5v excitation to the bridge, producing a common mode voltage at the input to the ltc2430/ltc2431 of 2.5v, maximizing the ac input range for applications where induced 60hz could reach amplitudes up to 2v rms . the circuits in figures 43 and 45 could be used where multiple bridge circuits are involved and bridge output can be multiplexed onto a single ltc2430/ltc2431, via an inexpensive multiplexer such as the 74hc4052. figure 44 shows the use of an ltc2430/ltc2431 with a differential multiplexer. this is an inexpensive multiplexer that will contribute some error due to leakage if used directly with the output from the bridge, or if resistors are inserted as a protection mechanism from overvoltage. although the bridge output may be within the input range of the a/d and multiplexer in normal operation, some thought should be given to fault conditions that could result in full excitation voltage at the inputs to the multi- plexer or adc. the use of amplification prior to the multiplexer will largely eliminate errors associated with channel leakage developing error voltages in the source impedance. complete 20-bit data acquistion system in 0.1 inch 2 the ltc2430/ltc2431 provide 20-bit accuracy while consuming a maximum of 300 m a. the ms package of the ltc2431 makes it especially attractive in applications where very limited space is available. a complete 20-bit data acquisition system in 0.1 inch 2 is shown in figure 46 where the ltc2431 is powered by the lt1790 reference family in an s6 package. a supply voltage from 0.25v above the lt1790 output level to 20v enables the lt1790 to source up to 1ma and ensure the solid performance of the lt2431. the 3v, 3.3v, 4.096v and 5v versions of the lt1790 can power the ltc2430/ltc2431 directly. lower voltage ver- sions will require a separate v cc supply of 2.7v to 5.5v for the ltc2430/ltc2431. 2431 f44 ref + ref in + in a0 a1 v cc gnd 13 3 6 12 47 f 14 1 5 10 16 5v 15 11 2 to other devices 4 9 8 5v + 74hc4052 ltc2430/ ltc2431 figure 44. use a differential mulitplexer to expand channel capability applicatio s i for atio wu uu
