offset, apply 0.305mV (i.e., 0.5LSB) at V1 and adjust the
op amp offset voltage until the LTC1282 output code
flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001.
For zero full-scale error, apply an analog input of 2.49909V
(i.e., FS – 1.5LSBs or last code transition) at the input and
adjust the full-scale trim until the LTC1282 output code
flickers between 1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111.

Bipolar Offset and Full-Scale Adjustment
Bipolar offset and full-scale errors are adjusted in a
similar fashion to the unipolar case. Figure 10 shows the
extra components required for full-scale error adjust-
ment. If both offset and full-scale adjustments are needed,
the circuit in Figure 12 can be used. Again, bipolar offset
must be adjusted before full-scale error. Bipolar offset

Figure 12. Bipolar Offset and Full-Scale Adjust Circuit
error adjustment is achieved by trimming the offset ad-
justment of Figure 12 while the input voltage is 0.5LSB
below ground. This is done by applying an input voltage of
– 0.305mV (– 0.5LSB for LTC1282) to the input in Figure
12 and adjusting R8 until the ADC output code flickers
between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111. For full-
scale adjustment, an input voltage of 1.24909V (FS –
1.5LSBs for LTC1282) is applied to the input and R5 is
adjusted until the output code flickers between 0111 1111
1110 and 0111 1111 1111.
BOARD LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
The LTC1282 is easy to use. To obtain the best perfor-
mance from the device, a printed circuit board is recom-
mended. Layout for the printed circuit board should en-
sure that digital and analog signal lines are separated as
much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not
to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track or
underneath the ADC. The analog input should be screened
by AGND.
High quality tantalum and ceramic bypass capacitors
should be used at the VDD and VREF pins as shown in Figure
13. In bipolar mode, a 0.1µF ceramic provides adequate
bypassing for the VSS pin. The capacitors must be located
as close to the pins as possible. The traces connecting the
pins and the bypass capacitors must be kept short and
should be made as wide as possible.
