LTC1408-12 inputs can be driven directly. As source
impedance increases, so will acquisition time. For mini-
mum acquisition time with high source impedance, a
buffer amplifier must be used. The main requirement is
that the amplifier driving the analog input(s) must settle
after the small current spike before the next conversion
starts (the time allowed for settling must be at least 39ns
for full throughput rate). Also keep in mind while choosing
an input amplifier the amount of noise and harmonic
distortion added by the amplifier.
CHOOSING AN INPUT AMPLIFIER
Choosing an input amplifier is easy if a few requirements
are taken into consideration. First, to limit the magnitude
of the voltage spike seen by the amplifier from charging
the sampling capacitor, choose an amplifier that has a low
output impedance (< 100) at the closed-loop bandwidth
frequency. For example, if an amplifier is used in a gain of
1 and has a unity-gain bandwidth of 50MHz, then the
output impedance at 50MHz must be less than 100. The
second requirement is that the closed-loop bandwidth
must be greater than 40MHz to ensure adequate small-
signal settling for full throughput rate. If slower op amps
are used, more time for settling can be provided by
increasing the time between conversions. The best choice
for an op amp to drive the LTC1408-12 depends on the
application. Generally, applications fall into two catego-
ries: AC applications where dynamic specifications are
most critical and time domain applications where DC
accuracy and settling time are most critical. The following
list is a summary of the op amps that are suitable for
driving the LTC1408-12. (More detailed information is
available in the Linear Technology Databooks and on the
website at www.linear.com.)

INPUT FILTERING AND SOURCE IMPEDANCE
The noise and the distortion of the input amplifier and
other circuitry must be considered since they will add to
the LTC1408-12 noise and distortion. The small-signal
bandwidth of the sample-and-hold circuit is 50MHz. Any
noise or distortion products that are present at the analog
inputs will be summed over this entire bandwidth. Noisy
input circuitry should be filtered prior to the analog inputs
to minimize noise. A simple 1-pole RC filter is sufficient for
many applications. For example, Figure 1 shows a 47pF
capacitor from CHO
+
to ground and a 51 source resistor
to limit the net input bandwidth to 30MHz. The 47pF ca-
pacitor also acts as a charge reservoir for the input sample-
and-hold and isolates the ADC input from sampling-glitch
sensitive circuitry. High quality capacitors and resistors
should be used since these components can add distor-
tion. NPO and silvermica type dielectric capacitors have
excellent linearity. Carbon surface mount resistors can
generate distortion from self heating and from damage
that may occur during soldering. Metal film surface mount
resistors are much less susceptible to both problems.
When high amplitude unwanted signals are close in
frequency to the desired signal frequency a multiple pole
filter is required.
High external source resistance, combined with 13pF of
input capacitance, will reduce the rated 50MHz input band-
width and increase acquisition time beyond 39ns.
INPUT RANGE
The analog inputs of the LTC1408-12 may be driven fully
differentially with a single supply. Either input may swing
up to V
CC
, provided the differential swing is no greater than
2.5V with BIP (Pin 29) Low, or ±1.25V with (BIP Pin 29)
High. The 0V to 2.5V range is also ideally suited for single-
ended input use with single supply applications. The
common mode range of the inputs extend from ground to
the supply voltage V
CC
. If the difference between the CH
+
and CH
at any input pair exceeds 2.5V (unipolar) or 1.25V
(bipolar), the output code will stay fixed at positive full-
scale, and if this difference goes below 0V (unipolar) or –
1.25V (bipolar), the output code will stay fixed at negative
full-scale.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
The LTC1408-12 has an on-chip, temperature compen-
sated, bandgap reference that is factory trimmed to 2.5V
to obtain a precise 2.5V input span. The reference ampli-
fier output V
REF
, (Pin 23) must be bypassed with a capaci-
tor to ground. The reference amplifier is stable with capaci-
tors of 1µF or greater. For the best noise performance, a
10µF ceramic or a 10µF tantalum in parallel with a 0.1µF
ceramic is recommended. The V
REF
pin can be overdriven
with an external reference as shown in Figure 2. The volt-
age of the external reference must be higher than the 2.5V
of the open-drain P-channel output of the internal refer-
ence. The recommended range for an external reference
is 2.55V to V
DD
. An external reference at 2.55V will see a
DC quiescent load of 0.75mA and as much as 3mA
during conversion.

Figure 4 shows the ideal input/output characteristics for
the LTC1408-12 in unipolar mode (BIP = Low). The code
transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB
values (i.e., 0.5LSB, 1.5LSB, 2.5LSB, FS – 1.5LSB). The
output code is straight binary with 1LSB = 2.5V/4096 =
610µV for the LTC1408-12. The LTC1408-12 has 0.2 LSB
RMS of Gaussian white noise.
INPUT SPAN VERSUS REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The differential input range has a unipolar voltage span
that equals the difference between the voltage at the
reference buffer output V
REF
(Pin 23) and the voltage at
ground. The differential input range of the ADC is 0V to
2.5V when using the internal reference. The internal ADC
is referenced to these two nodes. This relationship also
holds true with an external reference.
DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
The ADC will always convert the difference of CH
+
minus
CH
, independent of the common mode voltage at any pair
of inputs. The common mode rejection holds up at high
frequencies (see Figure 3.) The only requirement is that
both inputs not go below ground or exceed V
DD
.

Integral nonlinearity errors (INL) and differential nonlin-
earity errors (DNL) are largely independent of the common
mode voltage. However, the offset error will vary. DC
CMRR is typically better than –90dB.
Figure 5 shows the ideal input/output characteristics for
the LTC1408-12 in bipolar mode (BIP = High). The code
transitions occur midway between successive integer LSB
values (i.e., 0.5LSB, 1.5LSB, 2.5LSB, FS – 1.5LSB). The
output code is 2’s complement with 1LSB = 2.5V/4096 =
610µV for the LTC1408-12. The LTC1408-12 has 0.2 LSB
RMS of Gaussian white noise.
