DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
2496 is a 16-channel (8-differential) 16-bit No
Latency
ΔΣ™
ADC with Easy Drive™ technology. The pat-
ented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic input current
errors and the shortcomings of on-chip buffering through
automatic cancellation of differential input current. This
allows large external source impedances, and rail-to-rail
input signals to be directly digitized while maintaining
exceptional DC accuracy.
The LTC2496 includes an integrated oscillator. This device
can be configured to measure an external signal (from
combinations of 16 analog input channels operating in
single ended or differential modes). It automatically rejects
line frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz, simultaneously.
The LTC2496 allows a wide common mode input range
(0V to V
CC
), independent of the reference voltage. Any
combination of single-ended or differential inputs can be
selected and the first conversion after a new channel is
selected is valid. Access to the multiplexer output enables
optional external amplifiers to be shared between all analog
inputs and auto calibration continuously removes their
associated offset and drift.

Use internal conversion clock or external conversion clock source
with f

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:

Note 10:
The SCK can be configured in external SCK mode or internal SCK
mode. In external SCK mode, the SCK pin is used as a digital input and the
driving clock is f
ESCK
. In the internal SCK mode, the SCK pin is used as a
digital output and the output clock signal during the data output is f
ISCK
.
Note 11:
The external oscillator is connected to the F
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in kHz.
Note 12:
The converter uses its internal oscillator.
Note 13:
The output noise includes the contribution of the internal
calibration operations.
Note 14:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
Note 15:
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 16:
Refer to Applications Information section for performance vs
data rate graphs.
Note 17:
The converter is in internal SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital output.
