DESCRIPTION
The LTC
廬
2450-1 is a low power, ultra-tiny 16-bit analog-
to-digital converter designed for space constrained ap-
plications requiring 16-bit performance. The LTC2450-1
uses a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, accepts a single-ended
analog input voltage, and communicates through an SPI
interface. It includes an integrated oscillator that does
not require any external components. The delta-sigma
modulator converter core provides single-cycle settling
time for multiplexed applications. The converter is avail-
able in a 6-pin, 2mm
脳
2mm DFN package. The LTC2450-1
implements a proprietary input sampling scheme that
reduces the average input sampling current several orders
of magnitude.
The LTC2450-1 is capable of up to 60 conversions per
second and, due to the very large oversampling ratio, has
extremely relaxed antialiasing requirements. The converter
uses its power supply voltage as the reference voltage and
the single-ended, rail-to-rail input voltage range extends
from GND to V
CC
.
Following a conversion, the LTC2450-1 can automatically
enter a sleep mode and reduce its power to less than
500nA. At an output rate of 1Hz, the LTC2450-1 consumes
an average of less than 25渭W from a 2.7V supply.
