DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
2412
is a 2-channel differential input micropower
24-bit No Latency ∆Σ™ analog-to-digital converter with an
integrated oscillator. It provides 2ppm INL and 0.16ppm
RMS noise over the entire supply range. The two differ-
ential channels are converted alternately with channel ID
included in the conversion results. It uses delta-sigma
technology and provides single conversion settling of the
digital filter. Through a single pin, the LTC2412 can be
configured for better than 110dB input differential mode
rejection at 50Hz or 60Hz ±2%, or it can be driven by an
external oscillator for a user defined rejection frequency.
The internal oscillator requires no external frequency set-
ting components.
The converter accepts any external differential reference
voltage from 0.1V to V
CC
for flexible ratiometric and re-
mote sensing measurement configurations. The full-scale
differential 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 independently set
anywhere within the GND to V
CC
. The DC common mode
input rejection is better than 140dB.
The LTC2412 communicates through a flexible 3-wire digi-
tal interface which is compatible with SPI and MICROWIRE
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

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

Note 11:
The external oscillator is connected to the F
