DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1400 is a complete 400ksps, 12-bit A/D con-
verter which draws only 75mW from a 5V or
±
5V supplies.
This easy-to-use device comes complete with a 200ns
sample-and-hold and a precision reference. Unipolar and
bipolar conversion modes add to the flexibility of the ADC.
The LTC1400 has two power saving modes: Nap and
Sleep. In Nap mode, it consumes only 6mW of power and
can wake up and convert immediately. In the Sleep mode,
it consumes 30µW of power typically. Upon power-up
from Sleep mode, a reference ready (REFRDY) signal is
available in the serial data word to indicate that the
reference has settled and the chip is ready to convert.
The LTC1400 converts 0V to 4.096V unipolar inputs from
a single 5V supply and
±2.048V
bipolar inputs from
±5V
supplies. Maximum DC specs include
±1LSB
INL,
±1LSB
DNL and 45ppm/°C drift over temperature. Guaranteed AC
performance includes 70dB S/(N + D) and – 76dB THD at
an input frequency of 100kHz, over temperature.
The 3-wire serial port allows compact and efficient data
transfer to a wide range of microprocessors, microcontrollers
and DSPs.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 3:
When these pin voltages are taken below V
SS
(ground for unipolar
mode) or above V
CC
, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product
can handle input currents greater than 40mA below V
SS
(ground for
unipolar mode) or above V
CC
without latch-up.
Note 4:

Note 6:
Recommended operating conditions.
Note 7:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 8:
Linearity, offset and full-scale specifications apply for unipolar and
bipolar modes.
Note 9:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 10:
Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 0.5LSB when
the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111.
Note 11:
The rising edge of CONV starts a conversion. If CONV returns
low at a bit decision point during the conversion, it can create small errors.
For best performance ensure that CONV returns low either within 120ns
after conversion starts (i.e., before the first bit decision) or after the 14
clock cycle. (Figure 13 Timing Diagram).
