LTC2450 Easy-to-Use, Ultra-Tiny 16-Bit ΔΣ ADC FEATURESDESCRIPTION n GND to V The LTC®2450 is an ultra-tiny 16-bit analog-to-digital CC Single-Ended Input Range n 0.02LSB RMS Noise converter. The LTC2450 uses a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, n 2LSB INL, No Missing Codes accepts a single-ended analog input voltage, and commu- n 2LSB Offset Error nicates through an SPI interface. It includes an integrated n 4LSB Full-Scale Error oscillator that does not require any external components. n Single Conversion Settling Time for Multiplexed It uses a delta-sigma modulator as a converter core and Applications provides single-cycle settling time for multiplexed applica- n Single Cycle Operation with Auto Shutdown tions. The converter is available in a 6-pin, 2mm × 2mm n 350μA Supply Current DFN package. The internal oscillator does not require any n 50nA Sleep Current external components. The LTC2450 includes a proprietary n 30 Conversions Per Second input sampling scheme that reduces the average input n Internal Oscillator—No External Components sampling current several orders of magnitude. Required The LTC2450 is capable of up to 30 conversions per sec- n Single Supply, 2.7V to 5.5V Operation ond and, due to the very large oversampling ratio, has n SPI Interface extremely relaxed antialiasing requirements. The LTC2450 n Ultra-Tiny 2mm × 2mm DFN Package includes continuous internal offset and full-scale calibra- APPLICATIONS tion algorithms which are transparent to the user, ensuring accuracy over time and over the operating temperature n System Monitoring range. The converter uses its power supply voltage as the n Environmental Monitoring reference voltage and the single-ended, rail-to-rail input n Direct Temperature Measurements voltage range extends from GND to VCC. n Instrumentation Following a conversion, the LTC2450 can automatically n Industrial Process Control enter a sleep mode and reduce its power to less than n Data Acquisition 200nA.
