Description
The LTC^®2481 combines a 16-bit plus sign No Latency ∆Σ^™
analog-to-digital converter with patented Easy Drive
technology and I²C digital interface. 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 input signals, with rail-to-
rail input range to be directly digitized while maintaining
exceptional DC accuracy.
The LTC2481 includes on-chip programmable gain and
an oscillator. The LTC2481 can be configured through an
I²C interface to provide a programmable gain from 1 to
256 in 8 steps, to digitize an external signal or internal
temperature sensor, reject line frequencies (50Hz, 60Hz or
simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz) as well as a 2x speed-up mode.
The LTC2481 allows a wide common mode input range
(0V to V_CC) independent of the reference voltage. The
reference can be as low as 100mV or can be tied directly
to V_CC. The LTC2481 includes an on-chip trimmed oscil-
lator eliminating the need for external crystals or oscil-
lators. Absolute accuracy and low drift are automatically
maintained through continuous, transparent, offset and
full-scale calibration.
