The LTC
®
2424/LTC2428 are 4-/8-channel 2.7V to 5.5V
micropower 20-bit A/D converters with an integrated
oscillator, 8ppm INL and 1.2ppm RMS noise. They use
delta-sigma technology and provide single cycle digital
filter settling time (no latency delay) for multiplexed
applications. The first conversion after the channel is
changed is always valid. Through a single pin the LTC2424/
LTC2428 can be configured for better than 110dB rejec-
tion at 50Hz or 60Hz
±2%,
or can be driven by an external
oscillator for a user defined rejection frequency in the
range 1Hz to 800Hz. The internal oscillator requires no
external frequency setting components.
The converters accept any external reference voltage from
0.1V to V
CC
. With their extended input conversion range of
–12.5% V
REF
to 112.5% V
REF
(V
REF
= FS
SET
– ZS
SET
) the
LTC2424/LTC2428 smoothly resolve the offset and
overrange problems of preceding sensors or signal con-
ditioning circuits.
The LTC2424/LTC2428 communicate through a flexible
4-wire digital interface which is compatible with SPI and
MICROWIRE
TM
protocols.
