Description
LTC2470
Selectable 208sps/833sps 16-Bit,
Single-Ended, D ADC with SPI Interface
Demonstration circuit 1628A features the LTC
®
2470, a
16-bit high performance Δ∑ analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) with an SPI interface. The input is unipolar with a range
of 0V to 1.25V. The modulators proprietary sampling tech
-
nique reduces the average input current to less than 50nA–
orders of magnitude lower than typical Δ∑ ADCs.
DC1628A is a member of Linear Technology‘s QuikEval™
f
amily of demonstration boards. It is designed to allow easy
evaluation of the LTC2470 and may be connected directly
to the target application’s analog signals while using the

DC590 USB Serial Controller board and supplied software
to measure performance. The exposed ground planes allow
proper grounding to prototype circuitry. After evaluating
with Linear Technologys software, the digital signals can
be connected to the end application’s processor/controller
for development of the serial interface.

CONNECTION TO DC590 SERIAL CONTROLLER
J1 is the power and digital interface connector. Connect
to DC590 serial controller with supplied 14 conductor
ribbon cable.
ANALOG CONNECTIONS
Analog signal connections are made via the row of turret
posts along the edge of the board. Also, when connecting
the board to an existing circuit the exposed ground planes
along the edges of the board may be used to form a solid
connection between grounds.
GND: This turret is connected directly to the internal
ground planes.
V
CC
: This is the supply and reference voltage for the ADC.
Do not draw any power from this point.
IN: This is the input to the ADC
REFOUT: This turret is connected to the LTC2470 REFOUT
pin. This pin may be used to provide a reference voltage
to an external circuit and can source up to 100µA. Do
NOT drive this pin.
