channel (4-/8-differential) high speed 24-bit No Latency
∆Σ
™
ADCs. They use a proprietary delta-sigma architec-
ture enabling variable speed/resolution. Through a simple
4-wire serial interface, ten speed/resolution combinations
6.9Hz/280nV
RMS
to 3.5kHz/25µV
RMS
(4kHz with external
oscillator) can be selected with no latency between con-
version results or shift in DC accuracy (offset, full-scale,
linearity, drift). Additionally, a 2X speed mode can be
selected enabling output rates up to 7kHz (8kHz if an
external oscillator is used) with one cycle latency.
Any combination of single-ended or differential inputs
can be selected with a common mode input range from
ground to V
CC
, independent of V
REF
. While operating in
the 1X speed mode the first conversion following a new
speed, resolution, or channel selection is valid. Since
there is no settling time between conversions, all 8 dif-
ferential channels can be scanned at a rate of 500Hz.
At the conclusion of each conversion, the converter is
internally reset eliminating any memory effects between
successive conversions and assuring stability of the high
order delta-sigma modulator.

Note 5:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 6:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 7:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
Note 8:
The converter is in external SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital input. The frequency of the clock signal driving
SCK during the data output is f
ESCK
and is expressed in Hz.
Note 9:
The converter is in internal SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital output. In this mode of operation, the SCK pin
has a total equivalent load capacitance of C
LOAD
= 20pF.
Note 10:
The external oscillator is connected to the F
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in Hz.
Note 11:
The converter uses the internal oscillator. F
O
= 0V.
Note 12:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
Note 13:
There is an internal reset that adds an additional 5 to 15 f
