DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1404 is a complete 600ksps, 12-bit A/D con-
verter which draws only 75mW from a 5V or
±
5V supplies.
This easy-to-use device comes complete with a 160ns
sample-and-hold and a precision reference. Unipolar and
bipolar conversion modes add to the flexibility of the ADC.
The LTC1404 has two power saving modes: Nap and
Sleep. In Nap mode, it consumes only 7.5mW of power
and can wake up and convert immediately. In the Sleep
mode, it consumes 60µW of power typically. Upon power-
up from Sleep mode, a reference ready (REFRDY) signal
is available in the serial data word to indicate that the
reference has settled and the chip is ready to convert.
The LTC1404 converts 0V to 4.096V unipolar inputs from
a single 5V supply and
±2.048V
bipolar inputs from
±5V
supplies. Maximum DC specs include
±1LSB
INL,
±1LSB
DNL and 45ppm/°C full-scale drift over temperature.
Guaranteed AC performance includes 69dB S/(N + D)
and – 76dB THD at an input frequency of 100kHz over
temperature.
The 3-wire serial port allows compact and efficient data
transfer to a wide range of microprocessors, microcontrollers
and DSPs.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 3:
When these pin voltages are taken below V
SS
(ground for unipolar
mode) or above V
CC
, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product
can handle input currents greater than 60mA without latch-up if the pin is
driven below V
SS
(ground for unipolar mode) or above V
CC
.
Note 4:
When these pin voltages are taken below V

Note 6:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 7:
Linearity, offset and full-scale specifications apply for unipolar and
bipolar modes.
Note 8:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 9:
Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 0.5LSB when
the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111.
Note 10:
The rising edge of CONV starts a conversion. If CONV returns
low at a bit decision point during the conversion, it can create small errors.
For best performance, ensure that CONV returns low either within 100ns
after the conversion starts (i.e., before the first bit decision) or after the 14
clock cycles. (Figure 13 Timing Diagram).
