LTC2413

sn2413 2413fs

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

velocity is approximately 183ps/inch for internal traces

and 170ps/inch for surface traces. Thus, a driver gener-

ating 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 LTC2413 pin will eliminate

this problem but will increase the driver power dissipation.

A series resistor between 27

Ω and 56Ω placed near the

driver or near the LTC2413 pin will also eliminate this

problem without additional power dissipation. 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 multiple ground pins used

in this package configuration, as well as the differential

input and reference architecture, reduce substantially the

converter’s sensitivity to ground currents.

Particular attention must be given to the connection of the

FO signal when the LTC2413 is used with an external

conversion clock. This clock is active during the conver-

sion 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 in DC gain and INL errors.

A normal mode signal of this frequency at the converter

input terminals may result in a DC offset error. Such

perturbations may occur due to asymmetric capacitive

coupling between the FO signal trace and the converter

input and/or reference connection traces. An immediate

solution is to maintain maximum possible separation

between the FO signal trace and the input/reference sig-

nals. When the FO signal is parallel terminated near the

converter, substantial AC current is flowing in the loop

formed by the FO 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 FO 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 LTC2413 converter are

directly connected to a network of sampling capacitors.

Depending upon the relation between the differential input

voltage and the differential reference voltage, these ca-

pacitors are switching between these four pins transfering

small amounts of charge in the process. A simplified

equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 16.

For a simple approximation, the source impedance RS

driving an analog input pin (IN+, IN–, REF+ or REF–) can be

considered to form, together with RSW and CEQ (see

Figure 16), a first order passive network with a time

constant

τ = (RS + RSW) • CEQ. 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

τ. 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 (FO = LOW), the

LTC2413’s front-end switched-capacitor network is clocked

at 69900Hz corresponding to a 14.3

µs sampling period.

Thus, for settling errors of less than 1ppm, the driving

source impedance should be chosen such that

τ ≤ 14.3µs/14 = 1.02µs. When an external oscillator of

frequency fEOSC is used, the sampling period is 2/fEOSC

and, for a settling error of less than 1ppm,

τ ≤ 0.14/fEOSC.

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 16 shows the

mathematical expressions for the average bias currents

flowing through the IN+ and IN– pins as a result of the

sampling charge transfers when integrated over a sub-

stantial time period (longer than 64 internal clock cycles).
