DFN Package
The LTC
®
2480 combines a 16-bit plus sign No Latency
∆Σ
TM
analog-to-digital converter with patented Easy Drive
TM
tech-
nology. The patented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic
input current errors and the shortcomings of on-chip buff-
ering through automatic cancellation of differential input
current. This allows large external source impedances and
input signals, with rail-to-rail input range to be directly digi-
tized while maintaining exceptional DC accuracy.
The LTC2480 includes on-chip programmable gain, a
temperature sensor and an oscillator. The LTC2480 can be
configured to provide a programmable gain from 1 to 256
in 8 steps, measure an external signal or internal tempera-
ture sensor and reject line frequencies. 50Hz, 60Hz or
simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz line frequency rejection can be
selected as well as a 2x speed-up mode.
The LTC2480 allows a wide common mode input range
(0V to V
CC
) independent of the reference voltage. The
reference can be as low as 100mV or can be tied directly
to V
CC
. The LTC2480 includes an on-chip trimmed oscil-
lator eliminating the need for external crystals or oscilla-
tors. Absolute accuracy and low drift are automatically
maintained through continuous, transparent, offset and
full-scale calibration.
