The LTC
廬
1598 is an 8-channel, 5V micropower, 12-bit
sampling A/D converter. It typically draws only 320碌A(chǔ)
of supply current when converting and automatically
powers down to typically 1nA between conversions. The
LTC1598 is available in a 24-pin SSOP package and
operates on a 5V supply. The 12-bit, switched-capacitor,
successive approximation ADC includes an 8-channel
MUX and a sample-and-hold.
On-chip serial ports allow efficient data transfer to a wide
range of microprocessors and microcontrollers over three
or four wires. This, coupled with micropower consump-
tion, makes remote location possible and facilitates trans-
mitting data through isolation barriers.
The circuit can be used in ratiometric applications or with
an external reference. The high impedance analog inputs
and the ability to operate with reduced spans (to 1.5V full
scale) allow direct connection to sensors and transducers
in many applications, eliminating the need for gain stages.
