Functional Block DiagramapplicaTions inForMaTionCONVERTER OPERATION POWER-ON RESET Converter Operation Cycle CONVERT The LTC2470/LTC2472 are low power, delta sigma, analog to digital converters with a simple SPI interface and a user SLEEP/NAP selected 208sps/833sps output rate (see Figure 1). The LTC2472 has a fully differential input while the LTC2470 is single-ended. Both are pin and software compatible. Their NO CS = LOW? operation is composed of three distinct states: CONVERT, SLEEP/NAP, and DATA INPUT/OUTPUT. The operation begins with the CONVERT state (see Figure 2). Once the YES conversion is finished, the converter automatically pow- ers down (NAP) or under user control, both the converter DATA INPUT/OUTPUT and reference are powered down (SLEEP). The conversion result is held in a static register while the device is in this state. The cycle concludes with the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT 16TH FALLING NO EDGE OF SCK YES state. Once all 16-bits are read or an abort is initiated the OR 24602 F02 CS = HIGH? device begins a new conversion. The CONVERT state duration is determined by the LTC2470/LTC2472 conversion time (nominally 4ms or Figure 2. LTC2470/LTC2472 State Transition Diagram 1ms depending on the selected output rate). Once started, this operation can not be aborted except by a low power While in the SLEEP/NAP state, when chip select input is supply condition (VCC < 2.1V) which generates an internal HIGH (CS = HIGH), the LTC2470/LTC2472’s converters are power-on reset signal. powered down.
