The Analog Devices, Inc., amplifier mezzanine card (AMC) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) driver evaluates the performance of amplifiers in 8-lead, single and dual SOIC, 6-lead single SOT23, 8-lead dual MSOP, and 16-lead LFCSP packages. This add on board can be inserted on ADC evaluation boards using its 7-pin header. Figure 1 shows the AMC mounted on an Analog Devices, Inc., ADC evaluation board. The AMC can support any of Analog Devices operational amplifiers and ADC drivers in different packages. The user can configure the ADC driver as a Sallen-Key low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filter, as a multiple feedback low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filter, or as an inverting and noninverting operational amplifier. The user can also configure the AMC to drive a single-ended, fully differential, or a single-ended signal to a differential ADC. Optimized power and ground planes ensure low noise and high speed operation. Component placement and power supply bypassing are optimized for maximum circuit flexibility and performance. The AMC evaluation board accepts 0402 or 0603 surface mount technology (SMT) components, 1206 bypass capacitors, and 2.54 mm headers. All components are placed on the primary side. No components are placed on the secondary side.

The LTC2499 is a 16-channel (eight differential), 24-bit, No Latency ??? ADC with Easy Drive technology and a 2-wire, I2C interface. The patented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic input current errors and the shortcomings of on-chip buffering through automatic cancellation of differential input current. This allows large external source impedances and rail-to-rail input signals to be directly digitized while maintaining exceptional DC accuracy. The LTC2499 includes a high accuracy, temperature sensor and an integrated oscillator. This device can be configured to measure an external signal (from combinations of 16 analog input channels operating in single-ended or differential modes) or its internal temperature sensor. The integrated temperature sensor offers 1/30th?C resolution and 2?C absolute accuracy. The LTC2499 allows a wide common mode input range (0V to VCC), independent of the reference voltage. Any combination of single-ended or differential inputs can be selected and the first conversion, after a new channel is selected, is valid. Access to the multiplexer output enables optional external amplifiers to be shared between all analog inputs and auto calibration continuously removes their associated offset and drift.Applications Direct Sensor Digitizer Direct Temperature Measurement Instrumentation Industrial Process Control

DC1012A-B: Demo Board for the LTC2497 16-Bit 8-/16-Channel ΔΣ ADC with Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation and I2C Interface

Demonstration circuits 1024A-A and 1024A-B are Micropower Low Noise Boost Converters With Output Disconnect featuring the LT3494 and LT3494A respectively. The demo circuits demonstrate small size and low component count in Boost configuration. Both demo versions are designed to convert a 3V-4.2V source to 15V. The only difference is in the load capability. The 1024A–A supplies 17mA at 3VIN while the 1024A–B supplies 27mA, also at 3VIN. The LT3494 features integrated Schottky diode, output disconnect function, dimming control, output sense resistor and non-audible switching frequency over the entire load range.

Demonstration circuit 1072B is a step-down converter using the LTC3561A monolithic synchronous buck regulator. The DC1072B has an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, and is capable of delivering up to 1A of output current at a jumper-selectable output voltage of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V or user-defined.

The LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 are 12-bit/14-bit, 3.5Msps serial ADCs with differential inputs. The devices draw only 5.5mA from a single 3.3V supply and come in a tiny 10-lead MSOP package. A Sleep shutdown feature further reduces power consumption to 13?W. The combination of speed, low power and tiny package makes the LTC2356-12/LTC2356-14 suitable for high speed, portable applications.The 80dB common mode rejection allows users to eliminate ground loops and common mode noise by measuring signals differentially from the source.The devices convert ?1.25V to 1.25V bipolar inputs differentially. The absolute voltage swing for AIN+ and AIN? extends from ground to the supply voltage.The serial interface sends out the conversion results during the 16 clock cycles following a CONV rising edge for compatibility with standard serial interfaces. If two additional clock cycles for acquisition time are allowed after the data stream in between conversions, the full sampling rate of 3.5Msps can be achieved with a 63MHz clock.
