Encode Input
The signal quality of the encode inputs strongly affects
the A/D noise performance. The encode inputs should
be treated as analog signals—do not route them next to
digital traces on the circuit board. There are two modes
of operation for the encode inputs: the differential encode
mode (Figure 10), and the single-ended encode mode
(Figure 11).
The differential encode mode is recommended for sinu-
soidal, PECL, or LVDS encode inputs (Figures 12, 13). The
encode inputs are internally biased to 1.2V through 10k
equivalent resistance. The encode inputs can be taken above
V
DD
(up to 3.6V), and the common mode range is from 1.1V
to 1.6V. In the differential encode mode, ENC
should stay
at least 200mV above ground to avoid falsely triggering the
single-ended encode mode. For good jitter performance
ENC
+
should have fast rise and fall times.
The single-ended encode mode should be used with
CMOS encode inputs. To select this mode, ENC

nected to ground and ENC

encode input. ENC
+
can be taken above V
DD
(up to 3.6V)
so 1.8V to 3.3V CMOS logic levels can be used. The ENC
+
threshold is 0.9V. For good jitter performance ENC
+
should
have fast rise and fall times. If the encode signal is turned
off or drops below approximately 500kHz, the A/D enters
nap mode.

Clock PLL and Duty Cycle Stabilizer
The encode clock is multiplied by an internal phase-locked
loop (PLL) to generate the serial digital output data. If the
encode signal changes frequency or is turned off, the PLL
requires 25µs to lock onto the input clock.
A clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit allows the duty cycle
of the applied encode signal to vary from 30% to 70%.
In the serial programming mode it is possible to disable
the duty cycle stabilizer, but this is not recommended. In
the parallel programming mode the duty cycle stabilizer
is always enabled.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The digital outputs of the LTC2271 are serialized LVDS
signals. Each channel outputs one bit at a time (1-lane
mode), two bits at a time (2-lane mode) or four bits at a
time (4-lane mode). Please refer to the Timing Diagrams
for details. In 4-lane mode the clock duty cycle stabilizer
must be enabled.
The output data should be latched on the rising and falling
edges of the data clock out (DCO). A data frame output
(FR) can be used to determine when the data from a new
conversion result begins.
The minimum sample rate for all serialization modes is
5Msps.
By default the outputs are standard LVDS levels: 3.5mA
output current and a 1.25V output common mode volt-
age. An external 100 differential termination resistor
is required for each LVDS output pair. The termination
resistors should be located as close as possible to the
LVDS receiver.
The outputs are powered by OV
DD
which is isolated from
the A/D core power.

Programmable LVDS Output Current
In LVDS mode, the default output driver current is 3.5mA.
This current can be adjusted by control register A2 in the
serial programming mode. Available current levels are
1.75mA, 2.1mA, 2.5mA, 3mA, 3.5mA, 4mA and 4.5mA.
In the parallel programming mode the SDO pin can select
either 3.5mA or 1.75mA.
Optional LVDS Driver Internal Termination
In most cases using just an external 100 termination
resistor will give excellent LVDS signal integrity. In addi-
tion, an optional internal 100 termination resistor can
be enabled by serially programming mode control register
A2. The internal termination helps absorb any refl ections
caused by imperfect termination at the receiver. When
the internal termination is enabled, the output driver
current is doubled to maintain the same output voltage
swing. Internal termination can only be selected in serial
programming mode.
DATA FORMAT
Table 2 shows the relationship between the analog input
voltage and the digital data output bits. By default the
output data format is offset binary. The 2’s complement
format can be selected by serially programming mode
control register A1.

Digital Output Randomizer
Interference from the A/D digital outputs is sometimes
unavoidable. Digital interference may be from capacitive or
inductive coupling or coupling through the ground plane.
Even a tiny coupling factor can cause unwanted tones
in the ADC output spectrum. By randomizing the digital
output before it is transmitted off-chip, these unwanted
tones can be randomized which reduces the unwanted
tone amplitude.
LTC2271
18
2271f
The digital output is randomized by applying an exclusive
OR logic operation between the LSB and all other data
output bits. To decode, the reverse operation is applied—an
exclusive OR operation is applied between the LSB and all
other bits. The FR and DCO outputs are not affected. The
output randomizer is enabled by serially programming
mode control register A1.
Digital Output Test Pattern
To allow in-circuit testing of the digital interface to the
A/D, there is a test mode that forces the A/D data outputs
(D15-D0) of both channels to known values. The digital
output test patterns are enabled by serially programming
mode control registers A2, A3 and A4. When enabled,
the test patterns override all other formatting modes: 2’s
complement and randomizer.
Output Disable
The digital outputs may be disabled by serially program-
ming mode control register A2. The current drive for all
digital outputs including DCO and FR are disabled to save
power or enable in-circuit testing. When disabled the com-
mon mode of each output pair becomes high impedance,
but the differential impedance may remain low.
Sleep and Nap Modes
The A/D may be placed in sleep or nap modes to conserve
power. In sleep mode the entire device is powered down,
resulting in 1mW power consumption. Sleep mode is
enabled by mode control register A1 (serial program-
ming mode), or by SDI (parallel programming mode).
The amount of time required to recover from sleep mode
depends on the size of the bypass capacitors on V
REF
,
REFH and REFL. For the suggested values in Figure 8, the
A/D will stabilize after 2ms.
In nap mode any combination of A/D channels can be
powered down while the internal reference circuits and the
PLL stay active, allowing faster wake up than from sleep
mode. Recovering from nap mode requires at least 100
clock cycles. If the application demands very accurate DC
settling then an additional 50µs should be allowed so the
on-chip references can settle from the slight temperature
shift caused by the change in supply current as the A/D
leaves nap mode. Nap mode is enabled by mode control
register A1 in the serial programming mode.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING MODES
The operating modes of the LTC2271 can be programmed
by either a parallel interface or a simple serial interface.
The serial interface has more fl exibility and can program
all available modes. The parallel interface is more limited
and can only program some of the more commonly used
modes.
Parallel Programming Mode
To use the parallel programming mode, PAR/SER should
be tied to V
DD
. The CS, SCK, SDI and SDO pins are binary
logic inputs that set certain operating modes. These pins
can be tied to V
DD
or ground, or driven by 1.8V, 2.5V or
3.3V CMOS logic. When used as an input, SDO should
be driven through a 1k series resistor. Table 3 shows the
modes set by CS, SCK, SDI and SDO.

Serial Programming Mode
To use the serial programming mode, PAR/SER should be
tied to ground. The CS, SCK, SDI and SDO pins become
a serial interface that program the A/D mode control
registers. Data is written to a register with a 16-bit serial
word. Data can also be read back from a register to verify
its contents.
Serial data transfer starts when CS is taken low. The data
on the SDI pin is latched at the fi rst 16 rising edges of
SCK. Any SCK rising edges after the fi rst 16 are ignored.
The data transfer ends when CS is taken high again.
