(Figure 6) and connect the center point to the MPU input.
It should be noted that to get full shutdown, the CS input
of the LTC1096/LTC1098 must be driven to the V
CC
voltage. This would require adding a level shift circuit to
the CS signal in Figure 6.

BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC1096(L)/LTC1098(L) should be used with an ana-
log ground plane and single point grounding tech
niques.
The GND pin should be tied directly to the ground plane.
The V
CC
pin should be bypassed to the ground plane with
a 1µF tantalum with leads as short as possible. If power
supply is clean, the LTC1096(L)/LTC1098(L) can also
operate with smaller 0.1µF surface mount or ceramic
bypass capacitors. All analog inputs should be referenced
directly to the single point ground. Digital inputs and
outputs should be shielded from and/or routed away from
the reference and analog circuitry.
SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
Both the LTC1096(L) and the LTC1098(L) provide a built-
in sample-and-hold (S&H) function to acquire signals.
The S&H of the LTC1096(L) acquires input signals from
“+” input relative to “–” input during the t
WAKEUP
time (see
Figure 1). However, the S&H of the LTC1098(L) can
sample input signals in the single-ended mode or in the
differential inputs during the t
SMPL
time (see Figure 7).
Single-Ended Inputs
The sample-and-hold of the LTC1098(L) allows conver-
sion of rapidly varying signals. The input voltage is sampled
during the t
SMPL
time as shown in Figure 7. The sampling
interval begins as the bit preceding the MSBF bit is shifted
