Overvoltage Protection
Applying signals to the LTC1291’s analog inputs that
exceed the positive supply or that go below ground will
degrade the accuracy of the A/D and possibly damage the
device. For example, this condition will occur if a signal is
applied to the analog inputs before power is applied to the
LTC1291. It can also happen if the input source is operat-
ing from supplies of larger value than the LTC1291 supply.
These conditions should be prevented either with proper
supply sequencing or by use of external circuitry to clamp,
or current limit the input source.
There are two ways to protect the inputs. In Figure 13
diode clamps from the inputs to V
The second method is to put resistors in series with the
analog inputs for current limiting. Limit the current to
15mA per channel. The +IN input can accept a resistor
value of 1k but the –IN input cannot accept more than
250 when clocked at its maximum clock frequency of
1MHz. If the LTC1291 is clocked at the maximum clock
frequency and 250
input source, then the clamp diodes are recommended
(Figures 14 and 15). The reason for the limit on the resistor
value is that the MSB bit test is affected by the value of the
resistor placed at the –IN input (see discussion on Analog
Inputs and the typical performance characteristics Maxi-
mum CLK Rate vs Source Resistance).
Because a unique input protection structure is used on the
digital input pins, the signal levels on these pins can
exceed the device V
