by mode control register A2 (serial programming mode),
or by CS (parallel programming mode).
For applications where the sample rate needs to be changed
quickly, the clock duty cycle stabilizer can be disabled. If
the duty cycle stabilizer is disabled, care should be taken
to make the sampling clock have a 50%(±5%) duty cycle.
The duty cycle stabilizer should not be used below 5Msps.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital Output Modes
The LTC2258-12/LTC2257-12/LTC2256-12 can operate in
three digital output modes: full rate CMOS, double data
rate CMOS (to halve the number of output lines), or double
data rate LVDS (to reduce digital noise in the system). The
output mode is set by mode control register A3 (serial
programming mode), or by SCK (parallel programming
mode). Note that double data rate CMOS cannot be selected
in the parallel programming mode.
Full-Rate CMOS Mode
In full-rate CMOS mode the 12 digital outputs (D0-D11),
overflow (OF), and the data output clocks (CLKOUT
+
,
CLKOUT
–
) have CMOS output levels. The outputs are
powered by OV
DD
and OGND which are isolated from the
A/D core power and ground. OV
DD
can range from 1.1V
to 1.9V, allowing 1.2V through 1.8V CMOS logic outputs.
For
good performance the digital outputs should drive
minimal capacitive loads. If the load capacitance is larger
than 10pF a digital buffer should be used.
Double Data Rate CMOS Mode
In double data rate CMOS mode, two data bits are
multiplexed and output on each data pin. This reduces
the number of data lines by six, simplifying board routing
and reducing the number of input pins needed to receive
the data. The 6 digital outputs (D0_1, D2_3, D4_5, D6_7,
D8_9, D10_11), overflow (OF), and the data output clocks
(CLKOUT
+
, CLKOUT
–
) have CMOS output levels. The out-
puts are powered by OV
DD
and OGND which are isolated
from the A/D core power and ground. OV
DD
can range
from 1.1V to 1.9V, allowing 1.2V through 1.8V CMOS
logic outputs.
For good performance the digital outputs should drive
minimal capacitive loads. If the load capacitance is larger
than 10pF a digital buffer should be used.
Double Data Rate LVDS Mode
In double data rate LVDS mode, two data bits are
multiplexed and output on each differential output pair.
There are 6 LVDS output pairs (D0_1
+
/D0_1
–
through
D10_11
+
/D10_11
–
) for the digital output data. Overflow
(OF
+
/OF
–
) and the data output clock (CLKOUT
+
/CLKOUT
–
)
each have an LVDS output pair.
By default the outputs are standard LVDS levels: 3.5mA
output current and a 1.25V output common mode volt-
age. An
external 100Ω differential termination resistor
is
required for each LVDS output pair. The termination
resistors should be located as close as possible to the
LVDS receiver.
The outputs are powered by OV
DD
and OGND which are
isolated from the A/D core power and ground. In LVDS
mode, OV
DD
must be 1.8V.
Programmable LVDS Output Current
In LVDS mode, the default output driver current is 3.5mA.
This current can be adjusted by serially programming mode
control register A3. Available current levels are 1.75mA,
2.1mA, 2.5mA, 3mA, 3.5mA, 4mA and 4.5mA.
Optional LVDS Driver Internal Termination
In most cases using just an external 100Ω termination
resistor will give excellent LVDS signal integrity. In addi
-
tion, an optional internal 100Ω termination resistor can
be enabled by serially programming mode control register
A3. The internal termination helps absorb any reflections
caused by imperfect termination at the receiver. When the
internal termination is enabled, the output driver current
is increased by 1.6x to maintain about the same output
voltage
swing.
Overflow Bit
The
overflow output bit (OF) outputs a logic high when
the analog input is either overranged or underranged. The
overflow bit has the same pipeline latency as the data bits.
