converters with an integrated precision reference and
a selectable 250sps or 1ksps output rate. They use a
single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and communicate through an
I
2
C Interface. The LTC2471 is single-ended with a 0V to
V
REF
input range and the LTC2473 is differential with a
±V
REF
input range. Both ADC’s include a 1.25V integrated
reference with 2ppm/°C drift performance and 0.1% initial
accuracy. The converters are available in a 12-pin DFN
3mm × 3mm package or an MSOP-12 package. They
include an integrated oscillator and perform conver-
sions with no latency for multiplexed applications. The
LTC2471/LTC2473 include a proprietary input sampling
scheme that reduces the average input current several
orders of magnitude when compared to conventional
delta sigma converters.
Following a single conversion, the LTC2471/LTC2473
automatically power down the converter and can also be
configured to power down the reference. When both the
ADC and reference are powered down, the supply current
is reduced to 200nA.
The LTC2471/LTC2473 include a user selectable 250sps
or 1ksps output rate and due to a large oversampling
ratio (8,192 at 250sps and 2,048 at 1ksps) have relaxed
anti-aliasing requirements.

Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.

Input sampling current is the average input current drawn from
the input sampling network while the LTC2471/LTC2473 are converting.
