DESCRIPTION
LTC2393-16/LTC2392-16/
LTC2391-16, 1MSPS, 0.5MSPS,
0.25MSPS Low Noise ADC
The LTC2393-16 family are low noise high speed ADCs
with both parallel and serial outputs that can operate from
a single 5V supply. The LTC2393-16 family supports a
large ±4.096V fully differential input range. This makes
them ideal for high performance applications that require
maximum dynamic range. Demonstration circuit 1501A
provides the user a means of evaluating the performance
of these ADCs in both parallel and serial modes and is L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear

intended to demonstrate recommended grounding, part
placement, routing and bypassing for this family of parts.
Also several suggested driver circuits for the analog inputs
will be presented.

DC718B/C QUICK START PROCEDURE
Check to make sure that all switches and jumpers are
set as shown in the connection diagram of Figure 1. The
default connections configure the ADC for parallel opera-
tion with the output data in offset binary format. The
analog input is AC-coupled and the internal reference of
the ADC is used.
Connect DC1501A to a DC718B/C USB High Speed Data
Collection Board using connector J1. Connect DC718B/C
to a host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Apply ±9V to
the indicated terminals. Apply a low jitter signal source to
J17. The default setup uses a single-ended to differential
converter so that it is only necessary to apply an input
signal to J17. Connect a low jitter 1MHz 3.3VP-P sine wave
or square wave to connector J16 for LTC2393-16. Apply
500kHz for LTC2392-16 and 250kHz for LTC2391-16.
Note that J16 has a 50Ω termination resistor to ground.
Run the QuickEval-II software (Pscope.exe version K66
or later) supplied with DC718B/C or download it from
www.linear.com.
Complete software documentation 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 DC1501A and
configure itself automatically.
Click the Collect button (See Figure 6) to begin acquiring
data. The Collect button then changes to Pause, which
can be clicked to stop data acquisition.
DC1501A SETUP
DC Power
DC1501 requires ±9VDC at approximately 100mA. Most
of the supply current is consumed by the CPLD, op amps,
regulators and discreet logic on the board. The ±9VDC
input voltage powers the ADC through LT1763 regulators
which provide protection against accidental reverse bias.
Additional regulators provide power for the CPLD and
op amps. See Figure 1 for connection details.
Clock Source
You must provide a low jitter 3.3VP-P sine or square wave
to J16. The clock input is AC-coupled so the DC level of the
clock signal is not important. A generator like the HP8644
or similar is recommended.Even a good generatorcan start
to produce noticeable jitter at low frequencies. Therefore
it is recommended for lower sample rates to divide down
a higher frequency clock to the desired sample rate. One
way to accomplish this is by placing the ADC in the serial
mode. This can be accomplished by setting the SER/PARL
position of SW1 to the high position. In the serial mode
the ratio of clock frequency to conversion rate is 80:1.
This limits the max clock frequency of DC1501A-A to
80MHz in serial mode. DC1501A-B is limited to 40MHz and
DC1501A-C is limited to 20MHz. In the parallel mode there
is a 1:1 ratio of clock frequency to conversion rate. If the
clockinput isto bedriven withlogic, itis recommendedthat
the 50Ω terminator (R17) be removed. Slow rising edges
may compromise SNR of the converter in the presence of
high-amplitude higher frequency input signals.
Data Output
Parallel data output from this board (0V to 3.3V default),
if not connected to DC718, can be acquired by a logic
analyzer, and subsequently imported into a spread-sheet,
ormathematical packagedepending onwhat formof digital
signal processing is desired. Alternatively, the data can be
fed directly into an application circuit. Use pin 3 of J1 to
latch the data. The data can be latched using either edge
of this signal. The data output signal levels at J1 can also
be reduced to 0V to 2.5V if the application circuit cannot
tolerate the higher voltage. Thisis accomplished by moving
J13 to the 2.5V position.

Figure 2. Single-Ended to Differential Converter
Reference
J7, J8 and J11 allow you to select an on chip reference
or an external LT1790A-4.096 as the reference. The initial
tolerance and drift specifications of the external reference
are better than the on chip reference. To use the internal
reference set J7 to FLT, J8 to ADC and J11 to REFIN. To use
the LT1790A-4.096 set J7 and J11 to GND and J8 to EXT.
Analog Input
The default driver for the analog inputs of the LTC2393
family on DC1501A is shown in Figure 2. This circuit
converts a single-ended 0V to 4.096V input signal applied
at AIN into a differential signal with a swing of ±4.096V
between the +IN and –IN inputs of the ADC. In addition this
circuit band limits the input frequencies to approximately
100kHz which is the useful bandwidth of these ADCs.
Alternatively, if your application circuit produces a differ-
ential signal which can drive the ADC but you need to
level shift the input signal, the circuits of Figure 3 and
Figure 4 can be used. The circuit of Figure 3 AC-couples
the input signal and is usable down to about 10kHz. The
lower frequency limit can be extended by increasing C37
and C51. The circuit of Figure 3 can be implemented on
DC1501A by putting J20 and J21 in the AC position and
moving R2 and R3 to the R50 and R53 positions. One of
these RC pairs can be attached to the input of the circuit in
Figure 2. This allows a single-ended input signal to be level
shifted. This is the default condition for DC1501A. Figure
4’s input driver allows the input voltage range to go below
ground. It DC-couples and level shifts the analog input at
the expense of attenuating the input level by a factor of 2.
The circuit of Figure 4 can be implemented on DC1501A
by setting VCM to External and biasing the external pin to
4.096V replacing R1 and R6 with 1kΩ, putting J20 and
J21 in the DC position and moving R2 and R3 to the R50
and R53 positions.
For SINAD, THD or SNR testing a low noise, low distortion
generatorsuch asthe B&KType 1051or StanfordResearch
DS360 should be used.

Data Collection
This demoboard istestedin housebyduplicating theFFT plot
shown in theADC data sheet. Thisinvolves using alow jitter,
1MHz (500kHz for LTC2392-16, 250kHz for LTC2391-16)
clock source for the encode clock, along with a low noise,
low distortion sinusoidal generatorat a frequency of 20kHz.
The input signal level is approximately –1dBfs.
The input is filtered with a 20kHz single pole RC filter
shown in Figure 5. The FFT shown in the data sheet is a
16384-point FFT. A typical FFT obtained with DC1501A
is shown in Figure 6. Note that to get the real SNR, the
DC1501A SETUP
Figure 3. AC-Coupled Differential Driver
Figure 4. DC Coupled Differential Driver
signal level (–1dB) has to be added back to the SNR that
PScope displays. With the example shown in Figure 6 this
means that the actual SNR would be 94.061dB. Taking the
RMS sum of the recalculated SNR and the THD yields a
SINAD of 93.75dB which is fairly close to the typical value
for this ADC.
There are a number of scenarios that can produce
misleading results when evaluating an ADC. One that is
common is feeding the converter with a frequency, that
is a sub-multiple of the sample rate, and which will only
exercise a small subset of the possible output codes.

DEMO MANUAL DC1501A
If you do not have a signal generator capable of ppm levels
of frequency accuracy or if it cannot be slaved to the clock
frequency, you can use an FFT with windowing to reduce
the “leakage” or spreading of the fundamental, to get a
close approximation of the performance parameters. If an
amplifier or clock source with poor phase noise is used,
the windowing will not improve the SNR.
The signal source typically usedfor in housetesting is aB&K
1051. A lowjitter RFoscillator such asthe HP8644is used as
the clocksource. Aswith anyhighperformance ADC,this part
is sensitive to layout. The area immediately surrounding the
ADC onDC1501 shouldbeused asa guidelineforplacement,
and routing of the various components associated with the
ADC. Note should also be taken of the ground plane used
in the layout of this board.
