The digital output is decoded at the receiver by invert-
ing the odd bits (D1, D3, D5, D7, D9, D11, D13.) The
alternate bit polarity mode is independent of the digital
output randomizer—either, both or neither function
can be on at the same time. When alternate bit polarity
mode is on, the data format is offset binary and the 2’s
complement control bit has no effect. The alternate bit
polarity mode is enabled by serially programming mode
control register A4.
Digital Output Test Patterns
To allow in-circuit testing of the digital interface to the
A/D, there are several test modes that force the A/D data
outputs (OF, D13-D0) to known values:
All 1s: All outputs are 1
All 0s: All outputs are 0
Alternating: Outputs change from all 1s to all 0s on
alternating samples
Checkerboard:Outputschangefrom101010101010101
to 010101010101010 on alternating samples
The digital output test patterns are enabled by serially
programming mode control register A4. When enabled,
the test patterns override all other formatting modes: 2’s
complement, randomizer, alternate-bit-polarity.
Output Disable
The digital outputs may be disabled by serially program-
mingmodecontrolregisterA3.Alldigitaloutputsincluding
OFandCLKOUTaredisabled.Thehighimpedancedisabled
state is intended for long periods of inactivity—it is too
slow to multiplex a data bus between multiple converters
at full speed.
Sleep and Nap Modes
The A/D may be placed in sleep or nap modes to conserve
power. In sleep mode the entire A/D converter is powered
down,resultingin0.5mWpowerconsumption.Sleepmode
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 VREF,
REFH, and REFL. For the suggested values in Figure 8,
the A/D will stabilize after 2ms.
In nap mode the A/D core is powered down while the
internal reference circuits stay active, allowing faster
wake-up than from sleep mode. Recovering from nap
mode requires at least 100 clock cycles. If the applica-
tion demands very accurate DC settling then an additional
50s 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 LTC2258-14/LTC2257-14/
LTC2256-14 can be programmed by either a parallel
interface or a simple serial interface. The serial interface
has more flexibility and can program all available modes.
Theparallelinterfaceismorelimitedandcanonlyprogram
some of the more commonly used modes.
Parallel Programming Mode
To use the parallel programming mode, PAR/SER should
be tied to VDD. The CS, SCK and SDI pins are binary logic
inputs that set certain operating modes. These pins can
be tied to VDD or ground, or driven by 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V
CMOS logic. Table 2 shows the modes set by CS, SCK
and SDI.
