28-Lead SSOP Package
The LTC
®
2439-1 is a 16-channel (8-differential)
micropower 16-bit
∆Σ
analog-to-digital converter. It op-
erates from 2.7V to 5.5V and includes an integrated
oscillator, 0.12LSB INL and 1µV RMS noise. It uses delta-
sigma technology and provides single cycle settling time
for multiplexed applications. Through a single pin, the
LTC2439-1 can be configured for better than 87dB differ-
ential mode rejection at 50Hz and 60Hz
±2%,
or it can be
driven by an external oscillator for a user-defined rejec-
tion frequency. The internal oscillator requires no external
frequency setting components.
The LTC2439-1 accepts any external differential reference
voltage from 0.1V to V
CC
for flexible ratiometric and remote
sensing measurement applications. It can be configured
to take 8 differential channels or 16 single-ended channels.
The full-scale bipolar input range is from – 0.5V
REF
to
0.5V
REF
. The reference common mode voltage, V
REFCM
, and
the input common mode voltage, V
INCM
, may be indepen-
dently set between GND and V
CC
. The DC common mode
input rejection is better than 140dB.
The LTC2439-1 communicates through a flexible
4-wire digital interface that 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 or F
O
= V
CC
.
Note 12:
1µV 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.
Note 15:
These parameters are guaranteed by design over the full
supply and temperature range. Automated testing proceedures are
limited by the LSB Step Size (V
REF
/2
16
).
