LTC2205-14 PIN FUNCTIONS SENSE (Pin 1): Reference Mode Select and External Reference Input. Tie SENSE to VDD to select the internal 2.5V bandgap reference. An external reference of 2.5V or 1.25V may be used; both reference values will set a full scale ADC range of 2.25V (PGA = 0). VCM (Pin 2): 1.25V Output. Optimum voltage for input common mode. Must be bypassed to ground with a minimum of 2.2μF. Ceramic chip capacitors are recommended. VDD (Pins 3, 4, 12, 13, 14): 3.3V Analog Supply Pin.

LTC2205-14 OPERATION DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different frequency. Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S/(N+D)] is the ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency components at the ADC output. The output is band limited to frequencies above DC to below half the sampling frequency.
LTC2205-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CONVERTER OPERATION The LTC2205-14 is a CMOS pipelined multi-step converter with a front-end PGA. As shown in Figure 1, the converter has five pipelined ADC stages; a sampled analog input will result in a digitized value seven cycles later (see the Timing Diagram section). The analog input is differential for improved common mode noise immunity and to maximize the input range.
LTC2205-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION During the hold phase when ENC is high, the sampling capacitors are disconnected from the input and the held voltage is passed to the ADC core for processing. As ENC transitions from high to low, the inputs are reconnected to the sampling capacitors to acquire a new sample. Since the sampling capacitors still hold the previous sample, a charging glitch proportional to the change in voltage between samples will be seen at this time.
LTC2205-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Center-tapped transformers provide a convenient means of DC biasing the secondary; however, they often show poor balance at high input frequencies, resulting in large 2nd order harmonics. Figure 4a shows transformer coupling using a transmission line balun transformer. This type of transformer has much better high frequency response and balance than flux coupled center tap transformers.

LTC2205-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION PGA Pin The PGA pin selects between two gain settings for the ADC front-end. PGA = 0 selects an input range of 2.25VP-P; PGA = 1 selects an input range of 1.5VP-P. The 2.25V input range has the best SNR; however, the distortion will be higher for input frequencies above 100MHz. For applications with high input frequencies, the low input range will have improved distortion; however, the SNR will be worse by up to approximately 2dB.

The pipelined architecture of this ADC relies on storing analog signals on small valued capacitors.
LTC2205-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Data Format LTC2205-14 The LTC2205-14 parallel digital output can be selected for offset binary or 2’s complement format. The format is selected with the MODE pin. This pin has a four level logic input, centered at 0, 1/3VDD, 2/3VDD and VDD . An external resistor divider can be user to set the 1/3VDD and 2/3VDD logic levels. Table 1 shows the logic states for the MODE pin. CLKOUT OF OF D13 D13/D0 D12 Table 1.
LTC2205-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Internal Dither PC BOARD FPGA The LTC2205-14 is a 14-bit ADC with a very linear transfer function; however, at low input levels even slight imperfections in the transfer function will result in unwanted tones. Small errors in the transfer function are usually a result of ADC element mismatches. An optional internal dither mode can be enabled to randomize the input location on the ADC transfer curve, resulting in improved SFDR for low signal levels.
LTC2205-14 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Grounding and Bypassing The LTC2205-14 requires a printed circuit board with a clean unbroken ground plane; a multilayer board with an internal ground plane is recommended. The pinout of the LTC2205-14 has been optimized for a flowthrough layout so that the interaction between inputs and digital outputs is minimized. Layout for the printed circuit board should ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated as much as possible.
