LTC2440 1 2440fa the ltc ? 2440 is a high speed 24-bit no latency ds tm adc with 5ppm inl and 5 m v offset. it uses proprietary delta- sigma architecture enabling variable speed and resolution with no latency. ten speed/resolution combinations (6.9hz/ 200nv rms to 3.5khz/25 m v rms ) are programmed through a simple serial interface. alternatively, by tying a single pin high or low, a fast (880hz/2 m v rms ) or ultralow noise (6.9hz, 200nv rms , 50/60hz rejection) speed/resolution combination can be easily selected. the accuracy (offset, full-scale, linearity, drift) and power dissipation are inde- pendent of the speed selected. since there is no latency, a speed/resolution change may be made between conver- sions with no degradation in performance. following each conversion cycle, the LTC2440 automati- cally enters a low power sleep state. power dissipation may be reduced by increasing the duration of this sleep state. for example, running at the 3.5khz conversion speed but reading data at a 100hz rate draws 240 m a average current (1.1mw) while reading data at a 7hz output rate draws only 25 m a (125 m w). the LTC2440 com- municates through a flexible 3-wire or 4-wire digital inter- face that is compatible with the ltc2410 and is available in a narrow 16-lead ssop package. n high speed multiplexing n weight scales n auto ranging 6-digit dvms n direct temperature measurement n high speed data acquisition , ltc and lt are registered trademarks of linear technology corporation. n up to 3.5khz output rate n selectable speed/resolution n 2 m v rms noise at 880hz output rate n 200nv rms noise at 6.9hz output rate with simultaneous 50/60hz rejection n 0.0005% inl, no missing codes n autosleep enables 20 m a operation at 6.9hz n <5 m v offset (4.5v < v cc < 5.5v, C 40 c to 85 c) n differential input and differential reference with gnd to v cc common mode range n no latency, each conversion is accurate even after an input step n internal oscillatorno external components n pin compatible with the ltc2410 n 24-bit adc in narrow 16-lead ssop package 24-bit high speed differential ds adc with selectable speed/resolution speed vs rms noise simple 24-bit 2-speed acquisition system 215 3 13 12 5 6 11 10 2440 ta01 2440 ta01 14 7 1, 8, 9, 16 reference voltage 0.1v to v cc analog input 0.5v ref to 0.5v ref 3-wire spi interface 6.9hz, 200nv noise, 50/60hz rejection 880hz output rate, 2 v noise 10-speed serial programmable v cc 4.5v to 5.5v 4 v cc busy f o ref + sck in + in sdo gnd cs ext sdi LTC2440 ref conversion rate (hz) 1 0.1 rms noise ( v) 1 10 100 10 100 2440 ta02 1000 10000 v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v in + = v in = 0v 2 v at 880hz 200nv at 6.9hz (50/60hz rejection) applicatio s u features typical applicatio u descriptio u no latency ds is a trademark of linear technology corporation.

(v ref ). outside this input range the converter produces unique overrange and underrange output codes. sdi (pin 7): serial data input. this pin is used to select the speed/resolution of the converter. if sdi is grounded (pin compatible with ltc2410) the device outputs data at 880hz with 21 bits effective resolution. by tying sdi high, the converter enters the ultralow noise mode (200nv rms ) with simultaneous 50/60hz rejection at 6.9hz output rate. sdi may be driven logic high or low anytime during the conversion or sleep state in order to change the speed/resolution. the conversion immedi- ately following the data output cycle will be valid and performed at the newly selected output rate/resolution. sdi may also be programmed by a serial input data stream under control of sck during the data output cycle. one of ten speed/resolution ranges (from 6.9hz/200nv rms to 3.5khz/21 m v rms ) may be selected. the first conver- sion following a new selection is valid and performed at the newly selected speed/resolution. ext (pin 10): internal/external sck selection pin. this pin is used to select internal or external sck for outputting data. if ext is tied low (pin compatible with the ltc2410), the device is in the external sck mode and data is shifted out the device under the control of a user applied serial clock. if ext is tied high, the internal serial clock mode is selected. the device generates its own sck signal and outputs this on the sck pin. a framing signal busy (pin 15) goes low indicating data is being output. cs (pin 11): active low digital input. a low on this pin enables the sdo digital output and wakes up the adc. following each conversion the adc automatically enters the sleep mode and remains in this low power state as long as cs is high. a low-to-high transition on cs during the data output transfer aborts the data transfer and starts a new conversion. sdo (pin 12): three-state digital output. during the data output period, this pin is used as serial data output. when the chip select cs is high (cs = v cc ) the sdo pin is in a high impedance state. during the conversion and sleep periods, this pin is used as the conversion status output. the conversion status can be observed by pulling cs low. sck (pin 13): bidirectional digital clock pin. in internal serial clock operation mode, sck is used as digital output for the internal serial interface clock during the data output period. in external serial clock operation mode, sck is used as digital input for the external serial interface clock during the data output period. the serial clock operation mode is determined by the logic level applied to the ext pin. f o (pin 14): frequency control pin. digital input that con- trols the internal conversion clock. when f o is connected to v cc or gnd, the converter uses its internal oscillator running at 9mhz. the conversion rate is determined by the selected osr such that t conv (in ms) = (40 ? osr + 170)/ 9000 (t conv = 1.137ms at osr = 256, t conv = 146ms at osr = 32768). the first null is located at 8/t conv , 7khz at osr = 256 and 55hz (simultaneous 50/60hz) at osr = 32768. when f o is driven by an oscillator with frequency f eosc (in khz), the conversion time becomes t conv = (40 ? osr + 170)/f eosc (in ms) and the first null remains 8/t conv . busy (pin 15): conversion in progress indicator. for compatibility with the ltc2410, this pin should not be tied to ground. this pin is high while the conversion is in progress and goes low indicating the conversion is complete and data is ready. it remains low during the sleep and data output states. at the conclusion of the data output state, it goes high indicating a new conversion has begun. pi fu ctio s uuu

LTC2440 10 2440fa operation cycle and data out format is compatible with the ltc2410. initially, the LTC2440 performs a conversion. once the conversion is complete, the device enters the sleep state. while in this sleep state, power consumption is reduced below 10 m a. the part remains in the sleep state as long as cs is high. the conversion result is held indefinitely in a static shift register while the converter is in the sleep state. 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 au- tomatically initiates a new conversion and the cycle repeats. through timing control of the cs, sck and ext pins, the LTC2440 offers several flexible modes of operation (internal or external sck). 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. ease of use the LTC2440 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. speed/resolution ad- justments may be made seamlessly between two conver- sions without settling errors. the LTC2440 performs offset and full-scale calibrations 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. applicatio s i for atio wu u u power-up sequence the LTC2440 automatically enters an internal reset state when the power supply voltage v cc drops below approximately 2.2v. this feature guarantees the integrity of the conversion result and of the serial interface mode selection. 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 LTC2440 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 (4.5v 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 LTC2440 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 microvolts 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. input voltage range the analog input is truly differential with an absolute/ common 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 limits, the LTC2440 converts the bipolar differential 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 =
LTC2440 11 2440fa bit 28 (fourth output bit) is the most significant bit (msb) of the result. this bit in conjunction with bit 29 also provides the underrange or overrange indication. if both bit 29 and bit 28 are high, the differential input voltage is above +fs. if both bit 29 and bit 28 are low, the differential input voltage is below Cfs. the function of these bits is summarized in table 1. table 1.

LTC2440 12 2440fa signal may be used as an interrupt for an external microcontroller. bit 31 (eoc) can be captured on the first rising edge of sck. bit 30 is shifted out of the device on the first falling edge of sck. the final data bit (bit 0) is shifted out on the falling edge of the 31st sck and may be latched on the rising edge of the 32nd sck pulse. on the falling edge of the 32nd sck pulse, sdo goes high indicating the initiation of a new conversion cycle. this bit serves as eoc (bit 31) for the next conversion cycle. table 2 summarizes the output data format. as long as the voltage on the in + and in C pins is maintained within the C 0.3v to (v cc + 0.3v) absolute maximum operating range, a conversion result is generated for any differential input voltage v in from Cfs = C0.5 ? v ref to +fs = 0.5 ? v ref . for differential input voltages greater than +fs, the conversion result is clamped to the value corre- sponding to the +fs + 1lsb. for differential input voltages below Cfs, the conversion result is clamped to the value corresponding to Cfs C 1lsb. serial interface pins the LTC2440 transmits the conversion results and re- ceives the start of conversion command through a synchronous 2-wire, 3-wire or 4-wire interface. during the conversion and sleep states, this interface can be used to assess the converter status and during the data output state it is used to read the conversion result and program the speed/resolution. serial clock input/output (sck) the serial clock signal present on sck (pin 13) is used to synchronize the data transfer. each bit of data is shifted out the sdo pin on the falling edge of the serial clock. in the internal sck mode of operation, the sck pin is an output and the LTC2440 creates its own serial clock. in the external sck mode of operation, the sck pin is used as input. the internal or external sck mode is selected by tying ext (pin 10) low for external sck and high for internal sck. serial data output (sdo) the serial data output pin, sdo (pin 12), provides the result of the last conversion as a serial bit stream (msb first) during the data output state. in addition, the sdo pin is used as an end of conversion indicator during the conversion and sleep states. when cs (pin 11) is high, the sdo driver is switched to a high impedance state. this allows sharing the serial interface with other devices. if cs is low during the convert or sleep state, sdo will output eoc. if cs is low during the conversion phase, the eoc bit appears high on the sdo pin. once the conversion is complete, eoc goes low. the device remains in the sleep state until the first rising edge of sck occurs while cs = low. table 2.

LTC2440 13 2440fa chip select input (cs) the active low chip select, cs (pin 11), is used to test the conversion status and to enable the data output transfer as described in the previous sections. in addition, the cs signal can be used to trigger a new conversion cycle before the entire serial data transfer has been completed. the LTC2440 will abort any serial data transfer in progress and start a new conversion cycle anytime a low-to-high transition is detected at the cs pin after the converter has entered the data output state (i.e., after the fifth falling edge of sck occurs with cs = low). serial data input (sdi)logic level speed selection the serial data input (sdi, pin 7) is used to select the speed/resolution of the LTC2440. a simple 2-speed con- trol is selectable by either driving sdi high or low. if sdi is grounded (pin compatible with ltc2410) the device outputs data at 880hz with 21 bits effective resolution. by tying sdi high, the converter enters the ultralow noise mode (200nv rms ) with simultaneous 50/60hz rejection at 6.9hz output rate. sdi may be driven logic high or low anytime during the conversion or sleep state in order to change the speed/resolution. the conversion immediately following the data output cycle will be valid and performed at the newly selected output rate/resolution. changing sdi logic state during the data output cycle should be avoided as speed resolution other than 6.9hz or 880hz may be selected. for example, if sdi is changed from logic 0 to logic 1 after the second rising edge of sck, the conversion rate will change from 880hz to 55hz (the following values are listed in table 3: osr4 = 0, osr3 = 0, osr2 = 1, osr1 = 1 and osr0 = 1). if sdi remains high, the conversion rate will switch to the desired 6.9hz speed immediately following the conversion at 55hz. the 55hz rate conversion cycle will be a valid result as well as the first 6.9hz result. on the other hand, if sdi is changed to a 1 anytime before the first rising edge of sck, the following conversion rate will become 6.9hz. if sdi is changed to a 1 after the 5th rising edge of sck, the next conversion will remain 880hz while all subsequent con- versions will be at 6.9hz. serial data input (sdi)serial input speed selection sdi may also be programmed by a serial input data stream under control of sck during the data output cycle, see figure 4. one of ten speed/resolution ranges (from 6.9hz/ 200nv rms to 3.5khz/21 m v rms ) may be selected, see table 3. the conversion following a new selection is valid and performed at the newly selected speed/resolution. busy the busy output (pin 15) is used to monitor the state of conversion, data output and sleep cycle. while the part is converting, the busy pin is high. once the conversion is complete, busy goes low indicating the conversion is complete and data out is ready. the part now enters the low power sleep state. busy remains low while data is shifted out of the device. it goes high at the conclusion of the data output cycle indicating a new conversion has begun. this rising edge may be used to flag the completion of the data read cycle. serial interface timing modes the LTC2440s 2-wire, 3-wire or 4-wire interface is spi and microwire compatible. this interface offers several flexible modes of operation. these include internal/exter- nal serial clock, 2-wire or 3-wire i/o, single cycle conver- sion and autostart. the following sections describe each of these serial interface timing modes in detail. in all these cases, the converter can use the internal oscillator (f o = low) or an external oscillator connected to the f o pin. see table 4 for a summary. external serial clock, single cycle operation (spi/microwire compatible) this timing mode uses an external serial clock to shift out the conversion result and a cs signal to monitor and control the state of the conversion cycle, see figure 5. the serial clock mode is selected by the ext pin. to select the external serial clock mode, ext must be tied low. the serial data output pin (sdo) is hi-z as long as cs is high. at any time during the conversion cycle, cs may be pulled low in order to monitor the state of the converter. while cs is pulled low, eoc is output to the sdo pin. applicatio s i for atio wu u u

LTC2440 26 2440fa applicatio s i for atio wu u u example: if an amplifier (e.g. lt1219) driving the input of an LTC2440 has wideband noise of 33nv/ ? hz, band-limited to 1.8mhz, the total noise entering the adc input is: 33nv/ ? hz ? ? 1.8mhz = 44.3 m v. when the adc digitizes the input, its digital filter filters out the wideband noise from the input signal. the noise reduction depends on the oversample ratio which defines the effective bandwidth of the digital filter. at an oversample of 256, the noise bandwidth of the adc is 787hz which reduces the total amplifier noise to: 33nv/ ? hz ? ? 787hz = 0.93 m v. the total noise is the rms sum of this noise with the 2 m v noise of the adc at osr=256. ? 0.93 m v 2 + 2uv 2 = 2.2 m v. increasing the oversampling ratio to 32768 reduces the noise bandwidth of the adc to 6.2hz which reduces the total amplifier noise to: 33nv/ ? hz ? ? 6.2hz = 82nv. the total noise is the rms sum of this noise with the 200nv noise of the adc at osr = 32768. ? 82nv 2 + 2 m v 2 = 216nv. in this way, the digital filter with its variable oversampling ratio can greatly reduce the effects of external noise sources. using non-autozeroed amplifiers for lowest noise applications ultralow noise applications may require the use of low noise bipolar amplifiers that are not autozeroed. because the LTC2440 has such exceptionally low offset, offset drift and 1/f noise, the offset drift and 1/f noise in the amplifiers may need to be compensated for to retain the system performance of which the adc is capable. the circuit of figure 23 uses low noise bipolar amplifiers and correlated double sampling to achieve a resolution of 14nv, or 19 effective bits over a 10mv span. each mea- surement is the difference between two adc readings taken with opposite polarity bridge excitation. this can- cels 1/f noise below 3.4hz and eliminates errors due to parasitic thermocouples. allow 750 m s settling time after switching excitation polarity.
