The LTC
®
1392 is a micropower data acquisition system
designed to measure temperature, on-chip supply voltage
and a differential voltage. The differential inputs feature
rail-to-rail common mode input voltage range. The LTC1392
contains a temperature sensor, a 10-bit A/D converter with
sample-and-hold, a high accuracy bandgap reference and
a 3-wire half-duplex serial interface.
The LTC1392 can be programmed to measure ambient
temperature, power supply voltage and an external volt-
age at the differential input pins, that can also be used for
current measurement using an external sense resistor.
When measuring temperature, the output code of the A/D
converter is linearly proportional to the temperature in °C.
Production trimming achieves ±2°C initial accuracy at
room temperature and ±4°C over the full –40°C to 85°C
temperature range.
The on-chip serial port allows efficient data transfer to a
wide range of MPUs over three or four wires. This,
coupled with low power consumption, makes remote
location sensing possible and facilitates transmitting
data through isolation barriers.
