GENERAL ANALOG CONSIDERATIONS

Grounding

The LTC1864L/LTC1865L should be used with an analog

ground plane and single point grounding techniques. Do

not use wire wrapping techniques to breadboard and

evaluate the device. To achieve the optimum performance,

use a printed circuit board. The ground pins (AGND and

DGND for the LTC1865L MSOP package and GND for the

LTC1864L and LTC1865L SO-8 package) should be tied

directly to the analog ground plane with minimum lead

length.

Bypassing

with respect to ground during the conversion cycle can

minimum of 1µF tantalum. Keep the bypass capacitor

leads as short as possible.

Analog Inputs

Because of the capacitive redistribution A/D conversion

techniques used, the analog inputs of the LTC1864L/

LTC1865L have capacitive switching input current spikes.

These current spikes settle quickly and do not cause a

problem if source resistances are less than 200Ω or high

speed op amps are used (e.g., the LT

LT1807, LT1810, LT1630, LT1226 or LT1215). But if large

source resistances are used, or if slow settling op amps

drive the inputs, take care to ensure the transients caused

by the current spikes settle completely before the conver-

sion begins.
