APPLICATIO S

The LTC2053 is a high precision instrumentation amplifier. The CMRR is typically 116dB with a single or dual 5V
supply and is independent of gain. The input offset voltage
is guaranteed below 10V with a temperature drift of less
than 50nV/C. The LTC2053 is easy to use; the gain is
adjustable with two external resistors, like a traditional
op amp.
The LTC2053 uses charge balanced sampled data techniques to convert a differential input voltage into a single
ended signal that is in turn amplified by a zero-drift
operational amplifier.
The differential inputs operate from rail-to-rail and the
single ended output swings from rail-to-rail. The LTC2053
can be used in single supply applications, as low as 2.7V.
It can also be used with dual 5.5V supplies. The LTC2053
is available in an MS8 surface mount package. For space
limited applications, the LTC2053 is available in a
3mm 3mm 0.8mm dual fine pitch leadless package
(DFN).

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: These parameters are guaranteed by design. Thermocouple effects
preclude measurement of these voltage levels in high speed automatic test
systems. VOS is measured to a limit determined by test equipment
capability.
Note 3: If the total source resistance is less than 10k, no DC errors result
from the input bias currents or the mismatch of the input bias currents or
the mismatch of the resistances connected to IN and +IN.

Note 4: The CMRR with a voltage gain, AV, larger than 10 is 120dB (typ).
Note 5: At temperatures above 70C, the common mode rejection ratio
lowers when the common mode input voltage is within 100mV of the
supply rails.
Note 6: The power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) measurement accuracy
depends on the proximity of the power supply bypass capacitor to the
device under test. Because of this, the PSRR is 100% tested to relaxed
limits at final test. However, their values are guaranteed by design to meet
the data sheet limits.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO


Theory of Operation

The LTC2053 uses an internal capacitor (CS) to sample a


differential input signal riding on a DC common mode
voltage (see Block Diagram). This capacitors charge is
transferred to a second internal hold capacitor (CH) translating the common mode of the input differential signal to
that of the REF pin. The resulting signal is amplified by a
zero-drift op amp in the noninverting configuration. The
RG pin is the negative input of this op amp and allows
external programmability of the DC gain. Simple filtering
can be realized by using an external capacitor across the
feedback resistor.
Input Voltage Range
The input common mode voltage range of the LTC2053 is
rail-to-rail. However, the following equation limits the size
of the differential input voltage:

Where V+IN and VIN are the voltages of the +IN and IN
pins respectively, VREF is the voltage at the REF pin and V+
is the positive supply voltage.
For example, with a 3V single supply and a 0V to 100mV
differential input voltage, VREF must be between 0V and
1.6V.
5 Volt Operation
When using the LTC2053 with supplies over 5.5V, care
must be taken to limit the maximum difference between
any of the input pins (+IN or IN) and the REF pin to 5.5V;
if not, the device will be damaged. For example, if rail-torail input operation is desired when the supplies are at
5V, the REF pin should be 0V, 0.5V. As a second
example, if V + is 10V and V and REF are at 0V, the inputs
should not exceed 5.5V.

V (V+IN VIN) + VREF V + 1.3

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO


Settling Time

The sampling rate is 3kHz and the input sampling period


during which CS is charged to the input differential voltage
VIN is approximately 150s. First assume that on each
input sampling period, CS is charged fully to VIN. Since CS
= CH (= 1000pF), a change in the input will settle to N bits
of accuracy at the op amp noninverting input after N clock
cycles or 333s(N). The settling time at the OUT pin is also
affected by the settling of the internal op amp. Since the
gain bandwidth of the internal op amp is typically 200kHz,
the settling time is dominated by the switched capacitor
front end for gains below 100 (see Typical Performance
Characteristics).
Input Current
Whenever the differential input VIN changes, CH must be
charged up to the new input voltage via CS. This results in
an input charging current during each input sampling
period. Eventually, CH and CS will reach VIN and, ideally,
the input current would go to zero for DC inputs.
In reality, there are additional parasitic capacitors which
disturb the charge on CS every cycle even if VIN is a DC
voltage. For example, the parasitic bottom plate capacitor
on CS must be charged from the voltage on the REF pin to
the voltage on the IN pin every cycle. The resulting input

charging current decays exponentially during each input


sampling period with a time constant equal to RSCS. If the
voltage disturbance due to these currents settles before
the end of the sampling period, there will be no errors
due to source resistance or the source resistance mismatch between IN and +IN. With RS less than 10k, no
DC errors occur due to this input current.
In the Typical Performance Characteristics section of this
data sheet, there are curves showing the additional error
from non-zero source resistance in the inputs. If there are
no large capacitors across the inputs, the amplifier is less
sensitive to source resistance and source resistance mismatch. When large capacitors are placed across the inputs, the input charging currents described above result in
larger DC errors, especially with source resistor mismatches.
Power Supply Bypassing
The LTC2053 uses a sampled data technique and therefore
contains some clocked digital circuitry. It is therefore
sensistive to supply bypassing. For single or dual supply
operation, a 0.1F ceramic capacitor must be connected
between Pin 8 (V +) and Pin 4 (V ) with leads as short as
possible.
