Description
24-Bit 8-/16-Channel ΔS
ADC with Easy Drive Input
Current Cancellation
The LTC2498 is a 16-channel (8-differential) 24-bit No
Latency ΔS ADC with Easy Drive technology. The pat-
ented 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.
TheLTC2498includesahighaccuracytemperaturesensor
and an integrated oscillator. This device can be configured
to measure an external signal (from combinations of 16
analog input channels operating in single ended or dif-
ferential modes) or its internal temperature sensor. The
integrated temperature sensor offers 1/30th °C resolution
and 2°C absolute accuracy.
The LTC2498 allows a wide common mode input range
(0V to VCC), independent of the reference voltage. Any
combination of single-ended or differential inputs can be
selected and the first conversion after a new channel is
selected is valid. Access to the multiplexer output enables
optionalexternalamplifierstobesharedbetweenallanalog
inputs and auto calibration continuously removes their
associated offset and drift.
