The LTC
®
2401/LTC2402 are 1- and 2-channel 2.7V to
5.5V micropower 24-bit analog-to-digital converters with
an integrated oscillator, 4ppm INL and 0.6ppm RMS
noise. These ultrasmall devices use delta-sigma technol-
ogy and a new digital filter architecture that settles in a
single cycle. This eliminates the latency found in conven-
tional
∆Σ
converters and simplifies multiplexed applica-
tions.
Through a single pin, the LTC2401/LTC2402 can be
configured for better than 110dB rejection at 50Hz or
60Hz
±2%,
or can be driven by an external oscillator for
a user defined rejection frequency in the range 1Hz to
120Hz. The internal oscillator requires no external fre-
quency setting components.
These converters accept an external reference voltage
from 0.1V to V
CC
. With an extended input conversion
range of –12.5% V
REF
to 112.5% V
REF
(V
REF
= FS
SET
–
ZS
SET
), the LTC2401/LTC2402 smoothly resolve the off-
set and overrange problems of preceding sensors or
signal conditioning circuits.
The LTC2401/LTC2402 communicate through a 2- or
3-wire digital interface that is compatible with SPI and
MICROWIRE
TM
protocols.

Note 9:
The converter is in external SCK mode of operation such that
the SCK pin is used as digital input. The frequency of the clock signal
driving SCK during the data output is f
ESCK
and is expressed in kHz.
Note 10:
The converter is in internal SCK mode of operation such that
the SCK pin is used as digital output. In this mode of operation, the
SCK pin has a total equivalent load capacitance C
LOAD
= 20pF.
Note 11:
The external oscillator is connected to the F
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in kHz.
Note 12:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
F
O

.
Note 13:
The output noise includes the contribution of the internal
calibration operations.
Note 14:
For reference voltage values V
REF
> 2.5V, the extended input
of – 0.125 • V
REF
to 1.125 • V
REF
is limited by the absolute maximum
rating of the Analog Input Voltage pin (Pin 3). For 2.5V < V
REF
≤
0.267V + 0.89 • V
CC
, the input voltage range is – 0.3V to 1.125 • V
REF
.
For 0.267V + 0.89 • V
CC
< V
REF
≤
V
CC
, the input voltage range is – 0.3V
to V
CC
+ 0.3V.
LTC2401/LTC2402
PIN FUNCTIONS
V
CC
(Pin 1):
Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND
(Pin 4) with a 10µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with
0.1µF ceramic capacitor as close to the part as possible.
FS
SET
(Pin 2):
Full-Scale Set Input. This pin defines the
full-scale input value. When V
IN
= FS
SET
, the ADC outputs
full scale (FFFFF
H
). The total reference voltage is
FS
SET
– ZS
SET
.
CH0, CH1 (Pins 4, 3):
Analog Input Channels. The input
voltage range is – 0.125 • V
REF
to 1.125 • V
REF
. For
V
REF
> 2.5V, the input voltage range may be limited by the
absolute maximum rating of – 0.3V to V
CC
+ 0.3V. Conver-
sions are performed alternately between CH0
and CH1 for the LTC2402. Pin 4 is a No Connect (NC) on
the LTC2401.
ZS
SET
(Pin 5):
Zero-Scale Set Input. This pin defines the
zero-scale input value. When V
IN
= ZS
SET
, the ADC
outputs zero scale (00000
H
).
GND (Pin 6):
Ground. Shared pin for analog ground,
digital ground, reference ground and signal ground. Should
be connected directly to a ground plane through a mini-
mum length trace or it should be the single-point-ground
in a single-point grounding system.
CS (Pin 7):
Active LOW Digital Input. A LOW on this pin
enables the SDO digital output and wakes up the ADC.
Following each conversion, the ADC automatically enters
the Sleep mode and remains in this low power state as
long as CS is HIGH. A LOW on CS wakes up the ADC. A
LOW-to-HIGH transition on this pin disables the SDO
digital output. A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CS during the
Data Output transfer aborts the data transfer and starts a
new conversion.
SDO (Pin 8):
Three-State Digital Output. During the data
output period, this pin is used for serial data output. When
the chip select CS is HIGH (CS = V
CC
), the SDO pin is in a
high impedance state. During the Conversion and Sleep
periods, this pin can be used as a conversion status out-
put. The conversion status can be observed by pulling CS
LOW.
SCK (Pin 9):
Bidirectional Digital Clock Pin. In the Internal
Serial Clock Operation mode, SCK is used as digital output
for the internal serial interface clock during the data output
period. In the External Serial Clock Operation mode, SCK
is used as digital input for the external serial interface. An
internal pull-up current source is automatically activated
in Internal Serial Clock Operation mode. The Serial Clock
mode is determined by the level applied to SCK at power
up and the falling edge of CS.
F
O
(Pin 10):
Frequency Control Pin. Digital input that
controls the ADC’s notch frequencies and conversion
time. When the F
O
pin is connected to V
CC
(F
O
= V
CC
), the
converter uses its internal oscillator and the digital filter’s
first null is located at 50Hz. When the F
O
pin is connected
to GND (F
O
= 0V), the converter uses its internal oscillator
and the digital filter’s first null is located at 60Hz. When F
O
is driven by an external clock signal with a frequency f
EOSC
,
the converter uses this signal as its clock and the digital
filter first null is located at a frequency f
EOSC
/2560.
