The LTC®2420 is a micropower 20-bit A/D converter with
an integrated oscillator, 8ppm INL and 1.2ppm RMS
noise that operates from 2.7V to 5.5V. It uses delta-sigma
technology and provides a digital filter that settles in a
single cycle for multiplexed applications. Through a single
pin, the LTC2420 can be configured for better than 110dB
rejection at 50Hz or 60Hz ±2%, or it 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 converter accepts any external reference voltage from
0.1V to VCC. With its extended input conversion range of
–12.5% VREF to 112.5% VREF, the LTC2420 smoothly
resolves the offset and overrange problems of preceding
sensors or signal conditioning circuits.
The LTC2420 communicates through a flexible 3-wire
digital interface which is compatible with SPI and
MICROWIRETM protocols.
