Minimize CS Low Time (LTC1198)

CC
In systems that have significant time between conver-
sions, lowest power drain will occur with the minimum CS
low time. Bringing CS low, transfering data as quickly as
possible, thenbringingitbackhighwillresultinthelowest
current drain. This minimizes the amount of time the
device draws power.

The LTC1196/LTC1198 operate from single 2.7V to 6V
supplies. To operate the LTC1196/LTC1198 on other than
5V supplies, a few things must be kept in mind.

LTC1198 Operating on 5V and 2.7V Supplies
Input Logic Levels
When the CS pin is high (= supply voltage), the LTC1198
is in shutdown mode and draws only leakage current. The
status of the DIN and CLK input has no effect on the supply
current during this time. There is no need to stop DIN and
CLK with CS = high; they can continue to run without
drawing current.
The input logic levels of CS, CLK and DIN are made to
meet TTL on 5V supply. When the supply voltage varies,
the input logic levels also change (see typical curve of
Digital Input Logic Threshold vs Supply Voltage). For
these two ADCs to sample and convert correctly, the
digital inputs have to be in the logical low and high relative
to the operating supply voltage. If achieving micropower
consumption is desirable on the LTC1198, the digital
inputs must go rail-to-rail between supply voltage and
ground (see Reducing Power Consumption section).
