The LTC1606 uses a successive approximation algorithm In this acquire phase, a minimum delay of 1.5µs will and an internal sample-and-hold circuit to convert an provide enough time for the sample-and-hold capacitor to analog signal to a 16-bit or two byte parallel output. The acquire the analog signal. During the convert phase, the ADC is complete with a precision reference and an internal autozero switches open, putting the comparator into the clock. The control logic provides easy interface to micro- compare mode. The input switch switches C processors and DSPs.

Referring to Driving the Analog Inputs Figure 1, VIN is connected through the resistor divider to The nominal input range for the LTC1606 is ±10V or SAMPLE (±4 • VREF) and the input is overvoltage protected to ±25V. The input impedance is typically 10k SI Ω, therefore, it should C RIN1 SAMPLE SAMPLE be driven with a low impedance source. Wideband noise VIN – coupling into the input can be minimized by placing a HOLD RIN2 1000pF capacitor at the input as shown in Figure 2.
