Description
Demonstration circuit 2326A shows the proper way to drive
®
the
LTC
2345
ADC. The LTC2345 is a low noise, high speed,
simultaneous sampling 16-/18-bit successive approximation
register (SAR) ADC. The LTC2345 has a flexible SoftSpan
interface that allows conversion-by-conversion control of
the input voltage span on a per-channel basis. An internal
2.048V reference and 2× buffer simplify basic operation
while an external reference can be used to increase the
input range and the SNR of the ADC.
The DC2326A demonstrates the DC and AC performance of
the LTC2345 in conjunction with the DC590/DC2026 and
DC890 data collection boards. Use the DC590/DC2026 to
assembly options

demonstrate DC performance such as peak-to-peak noise
and DC linearity. Use the DC890 if precise sampling rates
are required or to demonstrate AC performance such as
SNR, THD, SINAD and SFDR. The DC2326A is intended
™
to demonstrate recommended grounding, component
placement and selection, routing and bypassing for this
ADC. A suggested driver circuit for the analog inputs is
also presented.
