LTC2442
24-Bit High Speed
4-Channel
ΔΣ
ADC
with Integrated Amplifier
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
2442 is an ultra high precision, variable speed,
24-bit
ΔΣ
TM
ADC with integrated amplifier. The amplifier
can be configured as a buffer for easy input drive of high
impedance sensors. 1 part-per-million (ppm) linearity is
achievable when the amplifier is configured in unity gain.
External resistors can be used to set a gain for increased
resolution of low level input signals. The positive and
negative amplifier supply pins may be tied directly to V
CC
(4.5V to 5.5V) and GND or biased above V
CC
and below
GND for rail-to-rail input signals.
The proprietary
ΔΣ
architecture ensures stable DC ac-
curacy through continuous transparent calibration. Ten
speed/resolution combinations from 6.9Hz/220nV
RMS
to
3.5kHz/25µV
RMS
can be selected with no latency or shift
in DC accuracy. Additionally, a 2X speed mode can be
selected enabling output rates up to 7kHz (8kHz with an
external oscillator) with one cycle latency.
Any combination of single-ended (up to 4 inputs) or dif-
ferential (up to 2 inputs) can be selected with a common
mode input range from ground to V
CC
. While operating in
the 1X speed mode the first conversion following a new
speed/resolution or channel selection is valid.

Note 5:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 6:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 7:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
Note 8:
The converter is in external SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital input. The frequency of the clock signal driving
SCK during the data output is f

Note 9:
The converter is in internal SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital output. In this mode of operation, the SCK pin
has a total equivalent load capacitance of C
LOAD
= 20pF.
Note 10:
The external oscillator is connected to the F

oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in Hz.
Note 11:
The converter uses the internal oscillator. F

Note 12:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
Note 13:
There is an internal reset that adds an additional 1µs (typ) to the
conversion time.
Note 14:
In order to achieve optimum linearity, the amplifier power
positive supply input (V
+
) must exceed the maximum input voltage level by
2V or greater. The negative amplifier power supply input (V
–
) must be at
least 200mV below the minimum input voltage level.
Note 15:
Amplifiers are externally compensated with 0.1µF.
