Σ ADC with Easy Drive
Input Current Cancellation
and I2C Interface
The LTC 2483 combines a 16-bit plus sign No Latency
∑ analog-to-digital converter with patented Easy Drive
technologyandI2Cdigitalinterface.Thepatentedsampling
scheme eliminates dynamic input current errors and the
shortcomings of on-chip buffering through automatic
cancellation of differential input current. This allows large
externalsourceimpedancesandinputsignals,withrail-to-
rail input range to be directly digitized while maintaining
exceptional DC accuracy.
The LTC2483 allows a wide common mode input range
(0V to VCC) independent of the reference voltage. The
reference can be as low as 100mV or can be tied directly
to VCC. The noise level is 600nVRMS independent of VREF.
This allows direct digitization of low level signals with
16-bitaccuracy.TheLTC2483includesanon-chiptrimmed
oscillator, eliminating the need for external crystals or
oscillators and provides 87dB rejection of 50Hz and 60Hz
line frequency noise. Absolute accuracy and low drift are
automaticallymaintainedthroughcontinuous,transparent,
offset and full-scale calibration.
