LTC2488 16-Bit 2-/4-Channel ΔS ADC with Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Up to 2 Differential or 4 Single-Ended Inputs The LTC®2488 is a 4-channel (2-channel differential), n Easy Drive Technology Enables Rail-to-Rail Inputs 16-bit, No Latency ΔS™ ADC with Easy Drive™ technology. with Zero Differential Input Current The patented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic input n Directly Digitizes High Impedance Sensors with current errors and the shortcomings of on-chip buffering Full Accuracy through automatic cancel ation of differential input current. n 600nV RMS Noise (0.02LSB Transition Noise) This allows large external source impedances and rail-to- n GND to VCC Input/Reference Common Mode Range rail input signals to be directly digitized while maintaining n Simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz Rejection exceptional DC accuracy. n 2ppm INL, No Missing Codes The LTC2488 includes an integrated oscillator. This device n 1ppm Offset and 15ppm Full-Scale Error can be configured to measure an external signal from n No Latency: Digital Filter Settles in a Single Cycle, combinations of 4 analog input channels operating in single Even After a New Channel is Selected ended or differential modes. It automatically rejects line n Single Supply 2.7V to 5.5V Operation (0.8mW) frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz simultaneously. n Internal Oscillator n Tiny 4mm × 3mm DFN Package The LTC2488 allows a wide common mode, input range (0V to VCC), independent of the reference voltage. Any APPLICATIONS combination of single-ended or differential inputs can be selected and the first conversion after a new channel n selection is valid.
