interface that allows conversion-by-conversion control of

the input voltage span on a per-channel basis. An internal

2.048V reference and 2×buffer simplify basic operation

while an external reference can be used to increase the input

range and the SNR of the ADC.

The DC2581A demonstrates the DC and AC performance of

the LTC2341 in conjunction with the DC590/DC2026 and

DC890 data collection boards. Use the DC590/DC2026 to L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and PScope,

DC890 QUICK START PROCEDURE

Check to make sure that all jumpers are set to their default

settings as described in the DC2581A Jumpers section of

this manual. The default connections configure the ADC to

use the onboard reference and regulators to generate all

the required bias voltages. The analog inputs by default are

DC coupled. Connect the DC2581A to a DC890 USB High

Speed Data Collection Board using connector P1. Then,

connect the DC890 to a host PC with a standard USB A/B

cable. Apply ±9V to the indicated terminals. Then apply

a low jitter signal source to J5 and J6. Use J7 to route

the signal sources of J5 and J6 to the desired AIN0-AIN1

inputs. Observe the recommended input voltage range

for each analog input. Connect a low jitter 2.5VP-P sine

wave or square wave to connector J1. See the Assembly

Options table for the appropriate clock frequency. Note

that J1 has a 50Ω termination resistor to ground.

Run the PScope

™

software (Pscope.exe version K91 or

later) which can be downloaded from www.linear.com/

designtools/software.

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 the DC2581A and

configure itself automatically.

Click the Collect button (See Figure 3) to begin acquiring

data. The Collect button then changes to Pause, which

can be clicked to stop data acquisition.

DC590/DC2026 QUICK START PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT! To avoid damage to the DC2581A, make

sure that VCCIO (JP6 of the DC590, JP3 of the DC2026)

of the DC590/DC2026 is set to 3.3V before connecting

the DC590/DC2026 to the DC2581A.

To usetheDC590/DC2026with the DC2581A,itisnecessary

to apply ±9V and ground to the ±9V and GND terminals of

the DC2581A. Connect the DC590/DC2026 to a host PC

with a standard USB A/B cable. Connect the DC2581A to

a DC590/DC2026 USB serial controller using the supplied

14-conductor ribbon cable. Apply a signal source to J5

and J6. Use J7 to route the signal sources of J5 and J6

to the desired AIN0-AIN1 inputs. No Clock is required on

J1 when using the DC590/DC2026. The clock signal is

provided by the DC590/DC2026.

Run the QuikEval software (quikeval.exe version K110 or

later)which isavailable from www.linear.com/designtools/

DC Power

TheDC2581A requires±9VDC anddraws +132mA/–52mA.

Most of the supply current is consumed by the FPGA, op

amps, regulators and discrete 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

FPGA and op amps.

Clock Source

You must provide a low jitter 2.5VP-P sine or square wave

to the clock input, J1. The clock input is AC coupled so the

DC level of the clock signal is not important. A generator

such as the Rohde & Schwarz SMB100A high speed clock

source is recommended to drive the clock input. Even a

good generator can 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. The ratio of clock frequency to

conversion rate is shown in the Assembly Options table. If

the clock input is to be driven with logic, it is recommended

that the 49.9Ω termination resistor (R4) be removed.

Driving R4 with discrete logic may result in slow rising

edges. These slow rising edges may compromise the SNR

of the converter in the presence of high-amplitude higher

frequency input signals.

Data Output

Parallel data output from this board (0V to 2.5V default),

if not connected to the DC890, can be acquired by a logic

analyzer, and subsequently imported intoa spreadsheet, or

mathematical package depending on what form of digital

signal processing is desired. Alternatively, the data can

be fed directly into an application circuit. Use pin 50 of

P1 to latch the data. The data should be latched using the

negative edge of this signal. The data output signal levels

at P1 can also be increased to 0V-3.3V if the application

circuit requires a higher voltage. This is accomplished by

moving JP2 to the 3.3V position.

DEMO MANUAL DC2581A

Reference

The default reference is the LTC2341 internal 4.096V

reference. Alternatively, if a higher reference voltage is

desired, the LTC6655-5 reference (U7) can be used by

setting the REF jumper (JP1) to the EXT position and

installing a 0Ω resistor in the R7 position. This should

result in better SNR performance but may slightly degrade

the THD performance of the LTC2341.

Analog Inputs

Both inputs have the same driver circuitry. The circuit of

Figure 2 shows the driver for AIN0. It provides aDC coupled

single-ended to fully differential output to the analog inputs

of the LTC2341 with a maximum 0V-4.096V input signal.

DC890 Data Collection

For SINAD, THD or SNR testing a low noise, low distortion

generatorsuch asthe B&KType 1051 or Stanford Research

SR1 should be used. A low jitter RF oscillator such as the

Rohde & Schwarz SMB100A is used to drive the clock

input. This demo board is tested in house by attempting

to duplicate the FFT plot shown in Typical Performance

Characteristics section of the LTC2341 data sheet. This

involves using a 60MHz clock source, along with a sinu-

soidal generator at a frequency of approximately 2kHz. The

input signal level is approximately –1dBFS. A typical FFT

obtained with DC2581A is shown in Figure 3. Note that

to calculate the real SNR, the signal level (F1 amplitude =

–1.133dB) has to be added back to the SNR that PScope

displays. With the example shown in Figure 3 this means

that the actual SNR would be 94.63dB instead of the

93.50dB that PScope displays. Taking the RMS sum of the

recalculated SNR and the THD yields a SINAD of 94.58dB

which is fairly close to the typical number for this ADC.

DC2581A SETUP

To change the default settings for the LTC2341 in PScope,

click on the Set Demo Bd Options button in the PScope

tool bar shown in Figure 4. This will open the Configure

Channels menu of Figure 5. In this menu it is possible to

set the input signal range setting for each channel. There

is also a button to return PScope to the default DC2581A

settings which are optimized for the default hardware

settings of the DC2581A.

There are a number of scenarios that can produce mislead-

ing results when evaluating an ADC. One that is common

is feeding the converter with an input frequency that is

a sub-multiple of the sample rate, and which will only

exercise a small subset of the possible output codes.

The proper method is to pick an M/N frequency for the

input sine wave frequency. N is the number of samples

in the FFT. M is a prime number between one and N/2.

Multiply M/N by the sample rate to obtain the input sine

wave frequency. Another scenario that can yield poor

results is if you do not have a signal generator capable of

ppm frequency accuracy or if it cannot be locked 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 ADC performance. If an

amplifier or clock source with poor phase noise is used,

the windowing will not improve the SNR.

DC590/DC2026 Data Collection

Due to the relatively low and somewhat unpredictable

sample rate of the DC590/DC2026 its usefulness is lim-

ited to noise measurement and data collection of slowly

moving signals. A typical data capture and histogram are

shown in Figure 6. To change the default settings for the

LTC2341 in QuikEval, click on the Channel Config but-

ton. This will open the Config Dialog menu of Figure 7.

In this menu it is possible to set the input signal range for

each sequence. There is also a button to return QuikEval

to the default DC2581A settings which are optimized for

the default hardware settings of the DC2581A.

Layout

As with any high performance ADC, this part is sensitive

to layout. The area immediately surrounding the ADC on

the DC2581A should be used as a guideline for placement,

and routing of the various components associated with

the ADC. Here are some things to remember when laying

out a board for the LTC2341. A ground plane is necessary

to obtain maximum performance. Keep bypass capacitors

as close to supply pins as possible. Use individual low

impedance returns for all bypass capacitors. Use of a

symmetrical layout around the analog inputs will minimize

the effectsof parasitic elements.Shield analog input traces

with ground to minimize coupling from other traces. Keep

traces as short as possible.

Component Selection

When driving a low noise, low distortion ADC such as the

LTC2341, component selection is important so as to not

degrade performance. Resistors should have low values

to minimize noise and distortion. Metal film resistors are

recommended to reduce distortion caused by self heat-

ing. Because of their low voltage coefficients, to further

reduce distortion NPO or silver mica capacitors should be

used. Any buffer used to drive the LTC2341 should have

low distortion, low noise and a fast settling time such as

the LT6237.
