10 ltc2421/ltc2422 24212f applicatio s i for atio wu uu the ltc2421/ltc2422 are pin compatible with the ltc2401/ltc2402. the devices are designed to allow the user to incorporate either device in the same design with no modifications. while the ltc2421/ltc2422 output word length is 24 bits (as opposed to the 32-bit output of the ltc2401/ltc2402), its output clock timing can be identi- cal to the ltc2401/ltc2402. as shown in figure 1, the ltc2421/ltc2422 data output is concluded on the falling edge of the 24th serial clock (sck). in order to maintain drop-in compatibility with the ltc2401/ltc2402, it is possible to clock the ltc2421/ltc2422 with an additional 8 serial clock pulses. this results in 8 additional output bits which are always logic high. converter operation cycle the ltc2421/ltc2422 are low power, delta-sigma ana- log-to-digital converters with an easy to use 3-wire serial interface. their operation is simple and made up of three states. the converter operating cycle begins with the con- version, followed by the sleep state and concluded with the data output (see figure 2). the 3-wire interface consists of serial data output (sdo), a serial clock (sck) and a chip select (cs). initially, the ltc2421/ltc2422 perform a conversion. once the conversion is complete, the device enters the sleep state. while in this sleep state, power consumption is re- duced by an order of magnitude if cs is high. the part remains in the sleep state as long as cs is logic high. the conversion result is held indefinitely in a static shift regis- ter while the converter is in the sleep state. figure 1. ltc2421/ltc2422 compatible timing with the ltc2401/ltc2402 cs sck sdo conversion sleep 8 8 8 8 (optional) eoc = 1 eoc = 1 last 8 bits always 1 eoc = 0 data out 4 status bits 20 data bits data output 24212 f01 conversion convert sleep data output 24212 f02 0 1 cs and sck figure 2. ltc2421/ltc2422 state transition diagram once cs is pulled low and sck rising edge is applied, the device begins outputting the conversion result. there is no latency in the conversion result. the data output corre- sponds 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 4. the data output state is concluded once 24 bits are read out of the adc or when cs is brought high. the device automatically initiates a new conversion and the cycle repeats. through timing control of the cs and sck pins, the ltc2421/ltc2422 offer several flexible modes of opera- tion (internal or external sck and free-running conver- sion modes). these various modes do not require program ming 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.
11 ltc2421/ltc2422 24212f conversion clock a major advantage delta-sigma converters offer over con- ventional type converters is an on-chip digital filter (com- monly known as sinc or comb filter). for high resolution, low frequency applications, this filter is typically designed to reject line frequencies of 50hz or 60hz plus their har- monics. in order to reject these frequencies in excess of 110db, a highly accurate conversion clock is required. the ltc2421/ltc2422 incorporate an on-chip highly accu- rate oscillator. this eliminates the need for external fre- quency setting components such as crystals or oscilla- tors. clocked by the on-chip oscillator, the ltc2421/ ltc2422 reject line frequencies (50hz or 60hz 2%) a minimum of 110db. ease of use the ltc2421/ltc2422 data output has no latency, filter settling or redundant data associated with the conver- sion cycle. there is a one-to-one correspondence be- tween the conversion and the output data. therefore, multiplexing an analog input voltage is easy. the ltc2421/ltc2422 perform offset and full-scale cali- brations every conversion cycle. this calibration is trans- parent to the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation described above. the advantage of continuous calibration is extreme stability of offset and full-scale readings with respect to time, supply voltage change and temperature drift. power-up sequence the ltc2421/ltc2422 automatically enter 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 which is performed at the initial power-up. (see the 2-wire i/o sections in the serial interface timing modes section.) when the v cc voltage rises above this critical threshold, the converter creates an internal power-on-reset (por) signal with duration of approximately 0.5ms. the por signal clears all internal registers. following the por sig- nal, the ltc2421/ltc2422 start a normal conversion cycle and follows the normal succession of states described applicatio s i for atio wu uu above. the first conversion result following por is accu- rate within the specifications of the device. reference voltage range the ltc2421/ltc2422 can accept a reference voltage (v ref = fs set C zs set ) from 0v to v cc . the converter output noise is determined by the thermal noise of the front-end circuits, and as such, its value in microvolts is nearly con- stant with reference voltage. a decrease in reference volt- age will not significantly improve the converters effective resolution. on the other hand, a reduced reference voltage will improve the overall converter inl performance. the recommended range for the ltc2421/ltc2422 voltage reference is 100mv to v cc . input voltage range the converter is able to accommodate system level offset and gain errors as well as system level overrange situa- tions due to its extended input range, see figure 3. the ltc2421/ltc2422 convert input signals within the ex- tended input range of C 0.125 ? v ref to 1.125 ? v ref (v ref = fs set C zs set ). for large values of v ref (v ref = fs set C zs set ), this range is limited by the absolute maximum voltage range of C 0.3v to (v cc + 0.3v). beyond this range, the input esd protection devices begin to turn on and the errors due to the input leakage current increase rapidly. input signals applied to v in may extend below ground by C 300mv and above v cc by 300mv. in order to limit any figure 3. ltc2421/ltc2422 input range 24212 f03 v cc + 0.3v fs set + 0.12v ref fs set 0.3v (v ref = fs set ?zs set ) zs set ?0.12v ref zs set normal input range extended input range absolute maximum input range

1.4v), the device automatically begins outputting data. the data out- put cycle begins on the first rising edge of sck and ends on the 24th rising edge. data is shifted out the sdo pin on each falling edge of sck. the internally generated serial clock is output to the sck pin. this signal may be used to shift the conversion result into external circuitry. after the 24th rising edge, cs is pulled high and a new conversion is immediately started. this is useful in applications re- quiring periodic monitoring and ultralow power. figure 15 shows the average supply current as a function of capaci- tance on cs. i t should be noticed that the external capacitor discharge current is kept very small in order to decrease the con- verter power dissipation in the sleep state. in the autostart mode, the analog voltage on the cs pin cannot be observed without disturbing the converter operation using a regular oscilloscope probe. when using this con- figuration, it is important to minimize the external leakage current at the cs pin by using a low leakage external ca- pacitor and properly cleaning the pcb surface. the internal serial clock mode is selected every time the voltage on the cs pin crosses an internal threshold volt- age. an internal weak pull-up at the sck pin is active while cs is discharging; therefore, the internal serial clock tim- ing mode is automatically selected if sck is floating. it is important to ensure there are no external drivers pulling sck low while cs is discharging. digital signal levels the ltc2421/ltc2422s digital interface is easy to use. its digital inputs (f o , cs and sck in external sck mode of operation) accept standard ttl/cmos logic levels and the internal hysteresis receivers can tolerate edge rates as slow as 100 m s. however, some considerations are re quired figure 11. internal serial clock, continuous operation applicatio s i for atio wu uu v cc f o fs set zs set sck ch1 sdo gnd cs reference voltage zs set + 0.1v to v cc 0v to fs set ?

23 ltc2421/ltc2422 24212f input current (v in ) if complete settling occurs on the input, conversion re- sults will be uneffected by the dynamic input current. if the settling is incomplete, it does not degrade the linearity performance of the device. it simply results in an offset/ full-scale shift, see figure 17. to simplify the analysis of input dynamic current, two separate cases are assumed: large capacitance at v in (c in > 0.01 m f) and small capaci- tance at v in (c in < 0.01 m f). if the total capacitance at v in (see figure 18) is small (< 0.01 m f), relatively large external source resistances (up to 80k for 20pf parasitic capacitance) can be tolerated without any offset/full-scale error. figures 19 and 20 show a family of offset and full-scale error curves for various small valued input capacitors (c in < 0.01 m f) as a function of input source resistance. for large input capacitor values (c in > 0.01 m f), the input spikes are averaged by the capacitor into a dc current. the gain shift becomes a linear function of input source resis- tance independent of input capacitance, see figures 21 and 22. the equivalent input impedance is 16.6m w . this results in 150na of input dynamic current at the extreme values of v in (v in = 0v and v in = v ref , when v ref = 5v). this corresponds to a 0.3ppm shift in offset and full-scale readings for every 10 w of input source resistance. applicatio s i for atio wu uu figure 18. an rc network at v in figure 19. offset vs r source (small c) figure 17. offset/full-scale shift zs set tue v in 24212 f17 fs set c in 24212 f17 intput signal source r source v in ltc2421/ ltc2422 c par @ 20pf r source ( ) 1 offset error (ppm) 30 40 50 10k 24212 f19 20 10 0 10 100 1k 100k v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v in = 0v t a = 25 c c in = 100pf c in = 1000pf c in = 0pf c in = 0.01 f figure 20. offset vs r source (large c) figure 21. full-scale error vs r source (large c) r source ( ) 0 25 30 35 600 800 24212 f20 20 15 200 400 1000 10 5 0 offset error (ppm) c in = 22 f c in = 10 f c in = 1 f c in = 0.1 f c in = 0.01 f c in = 0.001 f v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v in = 0v t a = 25 c r source ( ) 0 full-scale error (ppm) ?0 ?5 ?0 600 1000 24212 f21 ?5 ?0 ?5 200 400 800 ? 0 5 c in = 22 f c in = 10 f c in = 1 f c in = 0.1 f c in = 0.01 f c in = 0.001 f v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v in = 0v t a = 25 c
24 ltc2421/ltc2422 24212f in addition to the input current spikes, the input esd pro- tection diodes have a temperature dependent leakage cur- rent. this leakage current, nominally 1na ( 100na max), results in a fixed offset shift of 10 m v for a 10k source resistance. the effect of input leakage current is evident for c in = 0 in figures 19 and 22. a leakage current of 3na results in a 150 m v (30ppm) error for a 50k source resistance. as r source gets larger, the switched capacitor input current begins to dominate. reference current (v ref ) similar to the analog input, the reference input has a dy- namic input current. this current has negligible effect on the offset. however, the reference current at v in = v ref is similar to the input current at full-scale. for large values of reference capacitance (c vref > 0.01 m f), the full-scale er- ror shift is 0.03ppm/ w of external reference resistance independent of the capacitance at v ref , see figure 23. if the capacitance tied to v ref is small (c vref < 0.01 m f), an input resistance of up to 80k (20pf parasitic capacitance at v ref ) may be tolerated, see figure 24. unlike the analog input, the integral nonlinearity of the device can be degraded with excessive external rc time constants tied to the reference input. if the capacitance at node v ref is small (c vref < 0.01 m f), the reference input can tolerate large external resistances without reduction in inl, see figure 25. if the external capacitance is large (c vref > 0.01 m f), the linearity will be degraded by applicatio s i for atio wu uu r source ( ) 1 ?0 full-scale error (ppm) ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 0 10 10 100 1k 10k 24212 f22 100k v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v in = 5v t a = 25 c c in = 0.01 f c in = 100pf c in = 1000pf c in = 0pf figure 22. full-scale error vs r source (small c) figure 23. full-scale error vs r vref (large c) figure 24. full-scale error vs r vref (small c) resistance at v ref ( ) 0 40 50 60 600 800 24212 f23 30 20 200 400 1000 10 0 ?0 full-scale error (ppm) c vref = 22 f c vref = 10 f c vref = 1 f c vref = 0.1 f c vref = 0.01 f c vref = 0.001 f v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v in = 5v t a = 25 c resistance at v ref ( ) 1 300 400 500 1k 10k 24212 f24 200 100 10 100 100k 0 100 200 full-scale error (ppm) v cc = 5v v ref = 5v v in = 5v t a = 25 c c vref = 0.01 f c vref = 100pf c vref = 1000pf c vref = 0pf figure 25. inl error vs r vref (small c) resistance at v ref ( ) 1 30 40 50 1k 10k 24212 f25 20 10 10 100 100k 0 ?0 ?0 inl error (ppm) v cc = 5v v ref = 5v t a = 25 c c vref = 0.01 f c vref = 1000pf c vref = 0pf c vref = 100pf

28 ltc2421/ltc2422 24212f applicatio s i for atio wu uu the selection between ch0 and ch1 is automatic. initially, after power-up, a conversion is performed on ch0. for each subsequent conversion, the input channel selection is alternated. embedded within the serial data output is a status bit indicating which channel corresponds to the conversion result. if the conversion was performed on ch0, this bit (bit 22) is low and is high if the conversion was performed on ch1 (see figure 33). there are no extra control or status pins required to per- form the alternating 2-channel measurements. the ltc2422 only requires two digital signals (sck and sdo). this simplification is ideal for isolated temperature mea- surements or systems where minimal control signals are available. pseudo differential applications generally, designers choose fully differential topologies for several reasons. first, the interface to a 4- or 6-wire bridge is simple (it is a differential output). second, they require good rejection of line frequency noise. third, they typically look at a small differential signal sitting on a large common mode voltage; they need accurate measurements of the differential signal independent of the common mode input voltage. many applications cur- rently using fully differential analog-to-digital converters for any of the above reasons may migrate to a pseudo differential conversion using the ltc2422. direct connection to a full bridge the ltc2422 interfaces directly to a 4- or 6-wire bridge, as shown in figure 34. the ltc2422 includes a fs set and a zs set for sensing the excitation voltage directly across the bridge. this eliminates errors due to excitation cur- rents flowing through parasitic resistors. the ltc2422 also includes two single ended input channels which can tie directly to the differential output of the bridge. the two conversion results may be digitally subtracted yielding the differential result. the ltc2422s single ended rejection of line frequencies ( 2%) and harmonics is better than 110db. since the device performs two independent single ended conver- sions each with > 110db rejection, the overall common mode and differential rejection is much better than the 80db rejection typically found in other differential input delta-sigma converters. in addition to excellent rejection of line frequency noise, the ltc2422 also exhibits excellent single ended noise rejection over a wide range of frequencies due to its 4 th order sinc filter. each single ended conversion indepen- dently rejects high frequency noise (> 60hz). care must be taken to insure noise at frequencies below 15hz and at multiples of the adc sample rate (15,360hz) are not present. for this application, it is recommended the ltc2422 is placed in close proximity to the bridge sensor in order to reduce the noise injected into the adc input. by performing three successive conversions (ch0-ch1-ch0), the drift and low frequency noise can be measured and compensated for digitally. figure 33. embedded selected channel indicator 24212 f33 sck sdo ch1 ? ? ? ch1 data out ch0 data out eoc ch0 eoc figure 34. pseudo differential strain guage application v cc ltc2422 fs set zs set sck ch1 sdo f o cs ch0 gnd 3-wire spi interface 1 5v 9 8 7 10 6 24212 f32 2 350 350 350 350 3 4 5 i dc = 0 i excitation i dc = 0
29 ltc2421/ltc2422 24212f applicatio s i for atio wu uu the absolute accuracy (less than 10 ppm total error) of the ltc2422 enables extremely accurate measurement of small signals sitting on large voltages. each of the two pseudo differential measurements performed by the ltc2422 is absolutely accurate independent of the com- mon mode voltage output from the bridge. the pseudo differential result obtained from digitally subtracting the two single ended conversion results is accurate to within the noise level of the device (3 m v rms ) times the square root of 2, independent of the common mode input voltage. typically, a bridge sensor outputs 2mv/v full scale. with a 5v excitation, this translates to a full-scale output of 10mv. divided by the rms noise of 8.4 m v(= 6 m v ? 1.414), this circuit yields 1190 counts with no averaging or ampli- fication. if more counts are required, several conversions may be averaged (the number of effective counts is in- creased by a factor of square root of 2 for each doubling of averages). an rtd temperature digitizer rtds used in remote temperature measurements often have long lead lengths between the adc and rtd sensor. these long lead lengths lead to voltage drops due to exci- tation current in the interconnect to the rtd. this voltage drop can be measured and digitally removed using the ltc2422 (see figure 35). the excitation current (typically 200 m a) flows from the adc through a long lead length to the remote temperature sensor (rtd). this current is applied to the rtd, whose resistance changes as a function of temperature (100 w to 400 w for 0 c to 800 c). the same excitation current flows back to the adc ground and generates another voltage drop across the return leads. in order to get an accurate measurement of the temperature, these voltage drops must be measured and removed from the conversion result. assuming the resistance is approximately the same for the forward and return paths (r1 = r2), the auxiliary channel on the ltc2422 can measure this drop. these errors are then removed with simple digital correction. the result of the first conversion on ch0 corresponds to an input voltage of v rtd + r1 ? i excitation. the result of the second conversion (ch1) is C r1 ? i excitation. note, the ltc2422s input range is not limited to the supply rails, it has underrange capabilities. the devices input range is C 300mv to v ref + 300mv. adding the two conversion results together, the voltage drop across the rtds leads are cancelled and the final result is v rtd . an isolated, 20-bit data acquisition system the ltc1535 is useful for signal isolation. figure 36 shows a fully isolated, 20-bit differential input a/d converter imple- mented with the ltc1535 and ltc2422. power on the isolated side is regulated by an lt1761-5.0 low noise, low dropout micropower regulator. its output is suitable for driving bridge circuits and for ratiometric applications. during power-up, the ltc2422 becomes active at v cc = 2.3v, while the isolated side of the ltc1535 must wait for v cc2 to reach its undervoltage lockout threshold of 4.2v. figure 35. rtd remote temperature measurement v cc ltc2422 fs set zs set sck ch0 sdo f o cs ch1 gnd 3-wire spi interface 1 5v 9 8 7 10 6 24212 f35 2 4 3 + v rtd p t 100 5 i dc = 0 i excitation = 200 a i excitation = 200 a r2 r1 5k 25 1000pf 5k 25 0.1 f
