LTC1865L OPERATION
Operating Sequence
The LTC1865L conversion cycle begins with the rising
edge of CONV. After a period equal to tCONV, the conver-
sion is finished. If CONV is left high after this time, the
LTC1865L goes into sleep mode drawing only leakage
current. The LTC1865Lβs 2-bit data word is clocked into
the SDI input on the rising edge of SCK after CONV goes
low. Additional inputs on the SDI pin are then ignored until
the next CONV cycle. The shift clock (SCK) synchronizes
the data transfer with each bit being transmitted on the
falling SCK edge and captured on the rising SCK edge in
both transmitting and receiving systems. The data is
transmitted and received simultaneously (full duplex).
After completing the data transfer, if further SCK clocks
are applied with CONV low, SDO will output zeros indefi-
nitely. See Figure 4.
Analog Inputs
The two bits of the input word (SDI) assign the MUX
configuration for the next requested conversion. For a
given channel selection, the converter will measure the
voltage between the two channels indicated by the
β+β and βββ signs in the selected row of Table 1. In
single-ended mode, all input channels are measured with
respect to GND. A zero code will occur when the β+β input
minus the βββ input equals zero. Full scale occurs when
the β+β input minus the βββ input equals VREF minus
1LSB. See Figure 5. Both the β+β and βββ inputs are
sampled at the same time so common mode noise is
rejected. The input span in the SO-8 package is fixed at
VREF = VCC. If the βββ input in differential mode is
grounded, a rail-to-rail input span will result on the β+β
input.
Reference Input
The reference input of the LTC1865L SO-8 package is
internally tied to VCC. The span of the A/D converter is
therefore equal to VCC. The voltage on the reference input
of the LTC1865L MSOP package defines the span of the
A/D converter. The LTC1865L MSOP package can operate
with reference voltages from 1V to VCC.
