LTC2452
Ultra-Tiny, Differential, 16-Bit
∆Σ
ADC with SPI Interface
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
2452
is an ultra-tiny, fully differential, 16-bit,
analog-to-digital converter. The LTC2452 uses a single
2.7V to 5.5V supply and communicates through an SPI
interface. The ADC is available in an 8-pin, 3mm × 2mm
DFN package or TSOT-23 package. It includes an integrated
oscillator that does not require any external components.
It uses a delta-sigma modulator as a converter core and
has no latency for multiplexed applications. The LTC2452
includes a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces
the average input sampling current several orders of
magnitude when compared to conventional delta-sigma
converters. Additionally, due to its architecture, there is
negligible current leakage between the input pins.
The LTC2452 can sample at 60 conversions per second,
and due to the very large oversampling ratio, has extremely
relaxed anti-aliasing requirements. The LTC2452 includes
continuous internal offset and full-scale calibration algo-
rithms which are transparent to the user, ensuring accuracy
over time and over the operating temperature range. The
converter has an external REF pin and the differential input
voltage range can extend up to ±V
REF
.
Following a single conversion, the LTC2452 can automati-
cally enter a sleep mode and reduce its supply current to
less than 0.2µA. If the user reads the ADC once a second,
the LTC2452 consumes an average of less than 50µW
from a 2.7V supply.
