DESCRIPTION
LTC2323/LTC2321
Dual 16-Bit/14-Bit/12-Bit,
5Msps/2Msps, Serial,
High Speed SAR ADCs
Demonstration circuit 1996A features the LT C
®
2323 family.
With up to 5Msps, these differential, dual channel, 16-bit,
serial, high speed successive approximation register
(SAR) ADCs are available in a 28-lead QFN package. The
LTC2323 family has an internal 20ppm/°C reference and
an SPI-compatible serial interface that supports CMOS
and LVDS logic. Note the demo board is configured for
CMOS operation by default; see the note under JP3 for
LVDS operation. The following text refers to the LTC2323,
but applies to all members of the family, the only differ
-
ence being the sample rate and the number of bits. The

BOARD PHOTO
DC1996A demonstrates the DC and AC performance of
the LTC2323 in conjunction with the DC890 PScope™
data collection board. Alternatively, by connecting the
DC1996A into a customer application, the performance
of the LTC2323 can be evaluated directly in that circuit.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1996A is easy to set up and evaluate
for performance. Refer to Figure 1 and follow the proce
-
dure below.
n
Connect the DC1996A to a DC890 USB high speed data
collection board using edge connector P1.
n
Connect the DC890 to a host PC with a standard USB
A/B cable.
n
Apply a low jitter signal source to J2 to test channel
2, or to J4 to test channel 1. Note that the DC1996A
is capable of accepting a differential input signal as
well as a single-ended signal. See the Hardware Setup
section for the jumper positions that correspond to
these configurations.
n
As a clock source, apply a low jitter 10dBm sine wave or
square wave to connector J1. See Table 1 for maximum
clock frequencies. Note that J1 has a 50Ω termination
resistor to ground.
n
Run the PScope software (Pscope.exe version K73,
or later) supplied with the DC890 or download it from
www.linear.com/software. Complete software doc-
umentation is available from the Help menu. Updates
can be downloaded from the Tools menu. Check for
updates periodically, as new features may be added.
The PScope software should recognize
the DC1996A
and configure itself automatically.
n
Click the Collect button (Figure 2) to begin acquiring
data. The Collect button then changes to Pause, which
can be used to stop data acquisition.

SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
J1 CLK IN: This input has a 50Ω termination resistor,
and is intended to be driven by a low jitter 10dBm sine or
square wave. To achieve the full AC performance of this
part, the clock jitter should be kept under 2ps. This input
is capacitively coupled so that the input clock can be either
0V to 3.3V or ±1.65V. This eliminates the need for level
shifting. To run at the maximum conversion rate, apply
the frequency specified in the Table 1.
J2 Ch2+ Input: In the single-ended configuration, this is
the channel 2 signal input. For differential operation, this
serves as the positive channel 2 signal input.
J3 Ch2– Input: This input is used only for differential
operation. It serves as the negative channel 2 signal input.
J4 Ch1+ Input: In the single-ended configuration, this is
the channel 1 signal input. For differential operation, this
serves as the positive channel 1 signal input.
J5 Ch1– Input: This input is used only for differential
operation. It serves as the negative channel 1 signal input.
J6 FPGA Program: Factory use only.
J7 JTAG: Factory use only.
JP1 +IN2 Coupling: Use this jumper to select AC- or DC-
coupling of the signal applied to J2.
The default setting
is DC. At very low input frequencies, using AC-coupling
may degrade the distortion performance.
JP2 Mode: Use this jumper to select the signal input mode
for the channel 2 input of the LTC2323. The default setting
is Diff. The Diff setting accepts a single-ended signal from
J2 and applies it as a differential signal to channel 2 of the
LTC2323. The Bip setting accepts a single-ended signal
from J2 and applies it as a single-ended bipolar signal to
channel 2 of the LTC2323. The Uni setting also accepts a
single-ended signal from J2, but applies it as a unipolar
signal to channel 2 of the LTC2323.
JP3 Data Out: Use this jumper to select the data output
format from the LTC2323. The default setting is CMOS.
The output data will not be valid if the jumper is moved
to the LVDS position unless the following changes have
been made:
Install 100Ω S0402 resistors at R26, 75, 76, 99
Reprogram the CPLD through J6 using the program
-
ming file LTC2323.pof found at:
http://www.linear.com/demo/DC1996A
Move JP3 to the LVDS position.
JP4 –IN2 Coupling: Use this jumper to select AC- or DC-
coupling of the signal applied to J3. The default setting
is DC. At very low input frequencies, using AC-coupling
may degrade the distortion performance.
JP5 +IN1 Coupling: Use this jumper to select AC- or DC-
coupling of the signal applied to J4. The default setting
is DC. At very low input frequencies, using AC-coupling
may degrade the distortion performance.
JP6 CM1: Use this jumper to set the DC bias point for the
signal applied to J4 when JP5 (+IN1 coupling) is in the
AC position. The default setting is ADC. The EXT setting
allows the use of an externally applied common mode
voltage applied at E1 (EXT_CM1).
JP7 CM2: Use this jumper to set the DC bias point for the
signal applied to J2 when JP1 (+IN2 coupling) is in the
AC position. The default setting is ADC. The EXT setting
allows the use of an externally applied common mode
voltage applied at E2 (EXT_CM2).
JP8 Mode: Use this jumper to select the signal input mode
for the channel 1 input of the LTC2323. The default setting
is Diff. The Diff setting accepts a single-ended signal from
J4 and applies it as a differential
signal to channel 1 of the
LTC2323. The Bip setting accepts a single-ended signal
from J4 and applies it as a single-ended bipolar signal to
channel 1 of the LTC2323. The Uni setting also accepts a
single-ended signal from J4, but applies it as a unipolar
signal to channel 1 of the LTC2323.
