Figure 5 shows the functional block diagram for the
LTC1099 2-step flash ADC. It consists of two 4-bit flash
converters, a 4-bit DAC and a differencing circuit. The
conversion process proceeds as follows:
1. At the start of the conversion, the on-board sample-
and-hold switches from the sample to the hold mode.
This is a true sample-and-hold with an acquisition time
of 240ns, an aperture time of 110ns and a tracking rate
of 2.5V/
s.
2. The held input voltage is converted by the 4-bit MS-
Flash ADC. This generates the upper or most significant
4-bits of the 8-bit output.
3. A 4-bit approximation, from the DAC output, is sub-
tracted from the held input voltage.
4. The LS-Flash ADC converts the difference between the
held input voltage and the DAC approximation. This
generates the lower or least significant (LS) 4-bits of
the 8-bit output. The LS-Flash reference is one six-
teenth of the MS-Flash reference. This effectively mul-
tiplies the difference by 16.
5. Upon the completion of the LS 4-bit flash the eight
output latches are updated simultaneously. At the same
time, the sample-and-hold is switched from the hold
mode to the acquire mode in preparation for the next
conversion.
The advantage of this approach is the reduction in the
amount of hardware required. A full flash converter re-
quires 255 comparators while this approach requires only
31. The price paid for this reduction in hardware is an
increase in conversion time. A full flash converter requires
only one comparison cycle while this approach requires
two comparison cycles, hence 2-step flash.
This architecture is further simplified in the LTC1099 by
reusing the MS-Flash hardware to do the LS-Flash. This
reduces the number of comparators from 31 to 16. This is
possible because the MS and LS conversions are done at
different times.
To take the simple block diagram of Figure 5 and reconfigure
it to reuse the MS-Flash to do the LS-Flash is conceptually
simple, but from a hardware point of view is not practical.

accomplish this function in a simple, although not straight
forward, manner.
Figure 6 shows the six input switched capacitor compara-
tor. Intuitively, the comparator is easy to understand by
noting that the common connection between the two input
capacitors, C1 and C2, acts like a virtual ground. In
operational amplifier circuits, current is summed at the
virtual ground node. Input voltage is converted to current
by the input resistors. In the switched capacitor compara-
tor, input voltage is converted to charge by the input
capacitors and these charges are summed at the virtual
ground node.
A major advantage of this technique is that the switch-on
impedance has no affect on accuracy as long as sufficient
time exists to fully charge and discharge the capacitors.
During the first time period the T+ and TZ switches are
closed. This forces the common node between C1 and C2
to an arbitrary bias voltage. Since the capacitors subtract
out this voltage, it may be considered, for the sake of this
discussion, to be exactly zero (i.e., virtual ground). Note
