®
2444/LTC2445/LTC2448/LTC2449 are 8-/16-
channel (4-/8-differential) high speed 24-bit No Latency
∆Σ
™
ADCs. They use a proprietary delta-sigma architec-
ture enabling variable speed/resolution. Through a simple
4-wire serial interface, ten speed/resolution combinations
6.9Hz/280nV
RMS
to 3.5kHz/25µV
RMS
(4kHz with external
oscillator) can be selected with no latency between con-
version results or shift in DC accuracy (offset, full-scale,
linearity
, drift). Additionally, a 2X speed mode can be
selected enabling output rates up to 7kHz
(8kHz if an
external oscillator is used) with one cycle latency.
Any combination of single-ended or differential inputs
can be selected with a common mode input range from
ground to V
CC
, independent of V
REF
. While operating in
the 1X speed mode the first conversion following a new
speed, resolution, or channel selection is valid. Since
there is no settling time between conversions, all 8 dif
-
ferential channels can be scanned at a rate of 500Hz.
At the conclusion of each conversion, the converter is
internally reset eliminating any memory effects between
successive conversions and assuring stability of the high
order delta-sigma modulator.
