DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
2439-1
is a 16-channel (8-differential) micropower
16-bit ∆Σ analog-to-digital converter. It operates 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 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 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 chan-
nels. 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 in-
dependently 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 protocols.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.

Note 4:

pin tied to GND or to V
CC
or to external conversion clock source
with f
EOSC
= 153600Hz unless otherwise specified.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 6:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from
a precise analog input voltage. Maximum specifications are limited by
the LSB step size (V
REF
/2
16
) and the single shot measurement. Typical
specifications are measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 7:
F
O
= GND (internal oscillator) or f
EOSC
= 139800Hz ±2% (external
oscillator).
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 procedures are limited by the
LSB Step Size (V
REF
/2
16
).
