CONVERTER OPERATION

Converter Operation Cycle

The LTC2412 is a low power,

∆Σ ADC with automatic

alternate channel selection between the two differential

channels and an easy-to-use 3-wire serial interface (see

Figure 1). Channel 0 is selected automatically at power up

and the two channels are selected alternately afterwards

(ping-pong). Its operation is made up of three states. The

converter operating cycle begins with the conversion,

followed by the low power sleep state and ends with the

data output (see Figure 2). The 3-wire interface consists

of serial data output (SDO), serial clock (SCK) and chip

select (CS).

Initially, the LTC2412 performs a conversion. Once the

conversion is complete, the device enters the sleep state.

The part remains in the sleep state as long as CS is HIGH.

While in this sleep state, power consumption is reduced by

nearly two orders of magnitude. The conversion result is

held indefinitely in a static shift register while the converter

is in the sleep state.

Once CS is pulled LOW, the device exits the low power

mode and enters the data output state. If CS is pulled HIGH

before the first rising edge of SCK, the device returns to the

low power sleep mode and the conversion result is still

held in the internal static shift register. If CS remains LOW

after the first rising edge of SCK, the device begins

outputting the conversion result. Taking CS high at this

point will terminate the data output state and start a new

conversion. There is no latency in the conversion result.

The data output corresponds to the conversion just per-

formed. 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 3).

The data output state is concluded once 32 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

LTC2412 offers several flexible modes of operation

(internal or external SCK and free-running conversion

modes). These various modes do not require program-

ming configuration registers; moreover, they do not dis-

turb the cyclic operation described above. These modes of

operation are described in detail in the Serial Interface

Timing Modes section.

Conversion Clock

A major advantage the delta-sigma converter offers over

conventional type converters is an on-chip digital filter

(commonly implemented as a 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 harmonics. The filter rejection perfor-

mance is directly related to the accuracy of the converter

system clock. The LTC2412 incorporates a highly accu-

rate on-chip oscillator. This eliminates the need for exter-

nal frequency setting components such as crystals or

oscillators. Clocked by the on-chip oscillator, the LTC2412

achieves a minimum of 110dB rejection at the line fre-

quency (50Hz or 60Hz

±2%).

Ease of Use

The LTC2412 data output has no latency, filter settling

delay or redundant data associated with the conversion

cycle. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the

conversion and the output data. Therefore, multiplexing

multiple analog voltages is easy.
