Any noise present on the encode signal will result in
additional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the
inherent ADC aperture jitter.
In applications where jitter is critical (high input frequen-
cies) take the following into consideration:
1. Differential drive should be used.
2. Use as large an amplitude as possible; if transformer
coupled use a higher turns ratio to increase the
amplitude.
3. If the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal signal, filter the
encode signal to reduce wideband noise.
4. Balance the capacitance and series resistance at both
encode inputs so that any coupled noise will appear at
both inputs as common mode noise.
The encode inputs have a common mode range of 1.8V to
V
DD
. Each input may be driven from ground to V
DD
for
single-ended drive.
Maximum and Minimum Encode Rates
The maximum encode rate for the LTC1745 is 25Msps. For
the ADC to operate properly the encode signal should have
a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have at least
19ns for the ADC internal circuitry to have enough settling
time for proper operation. Achieving a precise 50% duty
cycle is easy with differential sinusoidal drive using a
transformer or using symmetric differential logic such as
PECL or LVDS. When using a single-ended encode signal
asymmetric rise and fall times can result in duty cycles that
are far from 50%.
At sample rates slower than 25Msps the duty cycle can
vary from 50% as long as each half cycle is at least 19ns.
The lower limit of the LTC1745 sample rate is determined
by the droop of the sample-and-hold circuits. The pipelined
architecture of this ADC relies on storing analog signals
on small valued capacitors. Junction leakage will dis-
charge the capacitors. The specified minimum operating
frequency for the LTC1745 is 1Msps.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital Output Buffers
Figure 9 shows an equivalent circuit for a single output
buffer. Each buffer is powered by OV
DD
and OGND, iso-
lated from the ADC power and ground. The additional
N-channel transistor in the output driver allows operation
down to low voltages. The internal resistor in series with
the output makes the output appear as 50 to external
circuitry and may eliminate the need for external damping
resistors.

Output Loading
As with all high speed/high resolution converters the
digital output loading can affect the performance. The
digital outputs of the LTC1745 should drive a minimal
capacitive load to avoid possible interaction between the
digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. The output
should be buffered with a device such as an ALVCH16373
CMOS latch. For full speed operation the capacitive load
should be kept under 10pF. A resistor in series with the
output may be used but is not required since the ADC has
a series resistor of 43 on chip.
Lower OV
DD
voltages will also help reduce interference
from the digital outputs.
Format
The LTC1745 parallel digital output can be selected for
offset binary or 2’s complement format. The format is
selected with the MSBINV pin; high selects offset binary.
Overflow Bit
An overflow output bit indicates when the converter is
overranged or underranged. When OF outputs a logic high
the converter is either overranged or underranged.
Output Clock
The ADC has a delayed version of the ENC input available
as a digital output, CLKOUT. The CLKOUT pin can be used
to synchronize the converter data to the digital system.
This is necessary when using a sinusoidal encode. Data
will be updated just after CLKOUT falls and can be latched
on the rising edge of CLKOUT.
Output Driver Power
Separate output power and ground pins allow the output
drivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The power
supply for the digital output buffers, OV
DD
, should be tied
to the same power supply as for the logic being driven. For
example if the converter is driving a DSP powered by a 3V
supply then OV
DD
should be tied to that same 3V supply.
OV
DD
can be powered with any voltage up to 5V. The logic
outputs will swing between OGND and OV
DD
.
Output Enable
The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin,
OE. OE high disables all data outputs including OF and
CLKOUT. The data access and bus relinquish times are too
slow to allow the outputs to be enabled and disabled
during full speed operation. The output Hi-Z state is
intended for use during long periods of inactivity.
GROUNDING AND BYPASSING
The LTC1745 requires a printed circuit board with a clean
unbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an inter-
nal ground plane is recommended. The pinout of the
LTC1745 has been optimized for a flowthrough layout so
that the interaction between inputs and digital outputs is
minimized. Layout for the printed circuit board should
ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated as
much as possible. In particular, care should be taken not
to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track or
underneath the ADC.

High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used at
the V
DD,
V
CM
, REFHA, REFHB, REFLA and REFLB pins as
shown in the block diagram on the front page of this data
sheet. Bypass capacitors must be located as close to the
pins as possible. Of particular importance are the capaci-
tors between REFHA and REFLB and between REFHB and
REFLA. These capacitors should be as close to the device
as possible (1.5mm or less). Size 0402 ceramic capacitors
are recomended. The large 4.7µF capacitor between REFHA
and REFLA can be somewhat further away. The traces
connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be kept
short and should be made as wide as possible.
The LTC1745 differential inputs should run parallel and
close to each other. The input traces should be as short as
possible to minimize capacitance and to minimize noise
pickup.
An analog ground plane separate from the digital process-
ing system ground should be used. All ADC ground pins
labeled GND should connect to this plane. All ADC V
DD
bypass capacitors, reference bypass capacitors and input
filter capacitors should connect to this analog plane. The
LTC1745 has three output driver ground pins, labeled
OGND (Pins 27, 38 and 47). These grounds should con-
nect to the digital processing system ground. The output
driver supply, OV
DD
should be connected to the digital
processing system supply. OV
DD
bypass capacitors should
bypass to the digital system ground. The digital process-
ing system ground should be connected to the analog
plane at ADC OGND (Pin 38).
HEAT TRANSFER
Most of the heat generated by the LTC1745 is transferred
from the die through the package leads onto the printed
circuit board. In particular, ground pins 12, 13, 36 and 37
are fused to the die attach pad. These pins have the lowest
thermal resistance between the die and the outside envi-
ronment. It is critical that all ground pins are connected to
a ground plane of sufficient area. The layout of the evalu-
ation circuit shown on the following pages has a low ther-
mal resistance path to the internal ground plane by using
multiple vias near the ground pins. A ground plane of this
size results in a thermal resistance from the die to ambient
of 35°C/W. Smaller area ground planes or poorly connected
ground pins will result in higher thermal resistance.
