LTC2486 16-Bit 2-/4-Channel ΔS ADC with PGA and Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Up to 2 Differential or 4 Single-Ended Inputs The LTC®2486 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 This allows large external source impedances and rail-to- n Programmable Gain from 1 to 256 rail input signals to be directly digitized while maintaining n Integrated High Accuracy Temperature Sensor exceptional DC accuracy. n GND to VCC Input/Reference Common Mode Range The LTC2486 includes programmable gain, a high accuracy n Programmable 50Hz, 60Hz, or Simultaneous temperature sensor, and an integrated oscillator. This de- 50Hz/60Hz Rejection Mode vice can be configured to measure an external signal (from n 2ppm INL, No Missing Codes combinations of 4 analog input channels operating in single n 1ppm Offset and 15ppm Full-Scale Error ended or differential modes) or its internal temperature n 2x Speed Mode/Reduced Power Mode (15Hz Using sensor. It can be programmed to reject line frequencies of Internal Oscillator and 80µA at 7.5Hz Output) 50Hz, 60Hz, or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz, provide a pro- n No Latency: Digital Filter Settles in a Single Cycle, grammable gain from 1 to 256 in 8 steps, and configured to Even After a New Channel is Selected double its output rate. The integrated temperature sensor n Single Supply 2.7V to 5.5V Operation (0.8mW) offers 1/2°C resolution and 2°C absolute accuracy. n Internal Oscillator n Tiny 4mm × 3mm DFN Package The LTC2486 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 Direct Sensor Digitizer selection is valid. n Direct Temperature Measurement L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear n Technology Corporation.
