LTC2496 16-Bit 8-/16-Channel ΔΣ ADC with Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation FeaTuresDescripTion n Up to 8 Differential or 16 Single-Ended Inputs The LTC®2496 is a 16-channel (8-differential) 16-bit No n Easy Drive Technology Enables Rail-to-Rail Inputs Latency ΔΣ™ ADC with Easy Drive™ technology. The pat- with Zero Differential Input Current ented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic input current n Directly Digitizes High Impedance Sensors with errors and the shortcomings of on-chip buffering through Full Accuracy automatic cancellation of differential input current. This n 600nV RMS Noise (0.02 LSB Transition Noise) allows large external source impedances, and rail-to-rail n GND to VCC Input/Reference Common Mode Range input signals to be directly digitized while maintaining n Simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz Rejection exceptional DC accuracy. n 2ppm INL, No Missing Codes The LTC2496 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 16 analog input channels operating in Even After a New Channel is Selected single ended or differential modes). It automatically rejects n Single Supply 2.7V to 5.5V Operation (0.8mW) line frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz, simultaneously. n Internal Oscillator n QFN 5mm × 7mm Package The LTC2496 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 is n Direct Sensor Digitizer selected is valid. Access to the multiplexer output enables n Direct Temperature Measurement optional external amplifiers to be shared between all analog n Instrumentation inputs and auto calibration continuously removes their n Industrial Process Control associated offset and drift.
