DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
2488 is a 4-channel (2-channel differential), 16-
bit, No Latency
ΔΣ™
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 LTC2488 includes 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 differential modes. It automatically rejects line
frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz simultaneously.
The LTC2488 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.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may
cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum
Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime.

Note 4:
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:
f

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. V

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.
