DEMO MANUAL DC1563A LTC2315/LTC2314/LTC2313/LTC2312/ 12-Bit/14-Bit, 5Msps/4.5Msps/ 2.5Msps/500ksps/Serial, High Speed SAR ADCs DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit 1563A features the LTC 2315 collection boards. Use the DC590 to demonstrate DC family. With sample rates up to 5Msps these unipolar, performance such as peak-to-peak noise and DC linearity. single channel, 12-/14-Bit, serial, high speed successive Use the DC718 if precise sampling rates are required or to approximation register (SAR) ADCs are available in an demonstrate AC performance such as SNR, THD, SINAD 8-lead TSOT package. The LTC2315 family has an internal and SFDR. Alternatively, by connecting the DC1563A into 20ppm reference and an SPI-compatible serial interface a customer application the performance of the LTC2315 that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V and 5V logic. The following can be evaluated directly in that circuit. text refers to the LTC2315 but applies to all members of Design files for this circuit board are available at the family, the only difference being the sample rate and DEMO MANUAL DC1563A DESCRIPTION Table 1.
