to-digital converter with patented Easy Drive™ technology.
The patented sampling scheme eliminates dynamic input
current errors and the shortcomings of on-chip buffering
through automatic cancellation of differential input current.
This allows large external source impedances and input
signals with rail-to-rail input range to be directly digitized
while maintaining exceptional DC accuracy.
The LTC2484 includes an on-chip oscillator. The LTC2484
can be configured to reject line frequencies. 50Hz, 60Hz
or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz line frequency rejection can
be selected as well as a 2× speed-up mode.
The LTC2484 allows a wide common mode input range
(0V to V
CC
) independent of the reference voltage. The
reference can be as low as 100mV or can be tied directly
to V
CC
. The LTC2484 includes an on-chip trimmed oscil-
lator, eliminating the need for external crystals or oscil-
lators. Absolute accuracy and low drift are automatically
maintained through continuous, transparent, offset and
full-scale calibration.

Note 4:
Use internal conversion clock or external conversion clock source
with f
EOSC
= 307.2kHz unless otherwise specified.
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:
50Hz mode (internal oscillator) or f
EOSC
= 256kHz ±2%
(external oscillator).
Note 8:
60Hz mode (internal oscillator) or f
EOSC
= 307.2kHz ±2%
(external oscillator).
Note 9:
Simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz mode (internal oscillator) or
f
EOSC
= 280kHz ±2% (external oscillator).
Note 10:
The SCK can be configured in external SCK mode or internal SCK
mode. In external SCK mode, the SCK pin is used as digital input and the
driving clock is f
ESCK
. In internal SCK mode, the SCK pin is used as digital
output and the output clock signal during the data output is f
ISCK
.
Note 11:
The external oscillator is connected to the f
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in kHz.
Note 12:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
Note 13:
The output noise includes the contribution of the internal
calibration operations.
Note 14:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
Note 15:
