Conversion Details
Conversion start is controlled by the CS, RD and HBEN
inputs. At the start of conversion the successive approxi-
mation register (SAR) is reset and the three-state data
outputs are enabled. Once a conversion cycle has begun
it cannot be restarted.
During conversion, the internal 12-bit capacitive DAC
output is sequenced by the SAR from the most significant
bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). Referring to
Figure 1, the A
capacitor through a 300Ω/2.7kΩ divider. The voltage
divider allows the LTC1272 to convert 0V to 5V input
signals while operating from a 4.5V supply. The conver-
sion has two phases: the sample phase and the convert
phase. During the sample phase, the comparator offset is
nulled by the feedback switch and the analog input is
stored as a charge on the sample-and-hold capacitor,

enough time for the analog input to be acquired. During the
convert phase, the comparator feedback switch opens,
putting the comparator into the compare mode. The
sample-and-hold capacitor is switched to ground inject-
ing the analog input charge onto the comparator summing
junction. This input charge is successively compared to
binary weighted charges supplied by the capacitive DAC.
Bit decisions are made by the comparator (zero crossing
detector) which checks the addition of each successive
weighted bit from the DAC output. The MSB decision is
made 50ns (typically) after the second falling edge of CLK
IN following a conversion start. Similarly, the succeeding
bit decisions are made approximately 50ns after a CLK IN
edge until the conversion is finished. At the end of a
conversion, the DAC output balances the A

nonlinearity and differential nonlinearity. These specs are
useful for characterizing an ADC’s DC or low frequency
signal performance.
These specs alone are not adequate to fully specify the
LTC1272 because of its high speed sampling ability. FFT
(Fast Fourrier Transform) test techniques are used to
characterize the LTC1272’s frequency response, distor-
tion and noise at the rated throughput.
By applying a low distortion sine wave and analyzing the
digital output using a FFT algorithm, the LTC1272’s spec-
tral content can be examined for frequencies outside the
fundamental. Figure 2 shows a typical LTC1272 FFT plot.
