converters with an integrated precision reference and
a selectable 208sps or 833sps output rate. They use a
single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and communicate through a
SPI Interface. The LTC2470 is single-ended with a 0V to
V
REF
input range and the LTC2472 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 conversions
with no latency for multiplexed applications. The LTC2470/
LTC2472 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 LTC2470/LTC2472
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 LTC2470/LTC2472 include a user selectable 208sps
or 833sps output rate and due to a large oversampling
ratio (8,192 at 208sps and 2,048 at 833sps) 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.

Note 8:
Input sampling current is the average input current drawn from
the input sampling network while the LTC2470/LTC2472 is actively
sampling the input.
Note 9:
Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
