APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
storing analog signals on small valued capacitors. Junction
leakage will discharge the capacitors. The specied mini-
mum operating frequency for the LTC2285IUP#3CGPBF
is 1Msps.
Clock Duty Cycle Stabilizer
An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit ensures
high performance even if the input clock has a non
50% duty cycle. Using the clock duty cycle stabilizer is
recommended for most applications. To use the clock
duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin should be connected
to 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD using external resistors.
This circuit uses the rising edge of the CLK pin to sample
the analog input. The falling edge of CLK is ignored and
the internal falling edge is generated by a phase-locked
loop. The input clock duty cycle can vary from 40% to 60%
and the clock duty cycle stabilizer will maintain a constant
50% internal duty cycle. If the clock is turned off for a
long period of time, the duty cycle stabilizer circuit will
require a hundred clock cycles for the PLL to lock onto the
input clock.
For applications where the sample rate needs to be changed
quickly, the clock duty cycle stabilizer can be disabled. If
the duty cycle stabilizer is disabled, care should be taken to
make the sampling clock have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input
voltage, the digital data bits, and the overow bit. Note that
OF is high when an overow or underow has occurred
on either channel A or channel B.

Digital Output Buffers
Figure 14 shows an equivalent circuit for a single out-
put buffer. Each buffer is powered by OVDD and OGND,
isolated 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 50Ω to external
circuitry and may eliminate the need for external damping
resistors.
As with all high speed/high resolution converters, the
digital output loading can affect the performance. The
digital outputs of the LTC2285IUP#3CGPBF should drive
a minimal capacitive load to avoid possible interaction
between the digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry.
For full speed operation the capacitive load should be
kept under 10pF.
Lower OVDD voltages will also help reduce interference
from the digital outputs.

Data Format
Using the MODE pin, the LTC2285IUP#3CGPBF parallel
digital output can be selected for offset binary or 2’s
complement format. Connecting MODE to GND or 1/3VDD
selects offset binary output format. Connecting MODE to
2/3VDD or VDD selects 2’s complement output format. An
external resistor divider can be used to set the 1/3VDD or
2/3VDD logic values. Table 2 shows the logic states for
the MODE pin.
