24-bit, No Latency ∆∑™ ADC with Easy Drive technology.
The patented 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 LTC2492 includes a high accuracy temperature sensor
and an integrated oscillator. This device can be configured
to measure an external signal (from combinations of 4
analog input channels operating in single-ended or dif-
ferential modes) or its internal temperature sensor. It can
be programmed to reject line frequencies of 50Hz, 60Hz,
or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz and configured to double
its output rate. The integrated temperature sensor offers
1/30th°C resolution and 2°C absolute accuracy.
The LTC2492 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
selection is valid.

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:

oscillator).
Note 8:
60Hz mode (internal oscillator) or f

Note 9:
Simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz mode (internal oscillator) or
f
EOSC
= 280kHz ±2% (external oscillator).
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 in internal SCK mode of operation such that the
