The LTC
®
2436-1 is a 2-channel differential input mi-
cropower 16-bit No Latency
∆Σ
TM
analog-to-digital con-
verter with an integrated oscillator. It provides 0.5LSB
INL and 800nV RMS noise independent of V
REF
. The two
differential channels convert alternately with a channel
identification included in the conversion result. It uses
delta-sigma technology and provides single conversion
settling of the digital filter. Through a single pin, the
LTC2436-1 can be configured for better than 87dB input
differential mode rejection at 50Hz and 60Hz
±2%,
or it
can be driven by an external oscillator for a user defined
rejection frequency. The internal oscillator requires no
external frequency setting components.
The converter accepts any external differential reference
voltage from 0.1V to V
CC
for flexible ratiometric and
remote sensing measurement configurations. The full-
scale differential input range is from – 0.5 • V
REF
to 0.5 •
V
REF
. The reference common mode voltage, V
REFCM
, and
the input common mode voltage, V
INCM
, may be indepen-
dently set anywhere between GND and V
CC
. The DC
common mode input rejection is better than 140dB.
The LTC2436-1 communicates through a flexible 3-wire
digital interface which is compatible with SPI and
MICROWIRE
TM
protocols.

Note 8:
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 9:
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 10:
The external oscillator is connected to the F
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in kHz.
Note 11:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
F
O
= 0V.
Note 12:
800nV RMS noise is independent of V
REF
. Since the noise
performance is limited by the quantization, lowering V
REF
improves the
effective resolution.
Note 13:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
Note 14:
The low sleep mode current is valid only when CS is high.
