LTC2442 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION sult is shifted out on the serial data out pin (SDO) under The LTC2442 performs offset and full-scale calibrations the control of the serial clock (SCK). Data is updated on every conversion cycle. This calibration is transparent to the falling edge of SCK allowing the user to reliably latch the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation described data on the rising edge of SCK (see Figure 3). The data above. The advantage of continuous calibration is extreme output state is concluded once 32 bits are read out of the stability of offset and full-scale readings with respect to ADC or when CS is brought HIGH. In either scenario, the time, supply voltage change and temperature drift. device automatically initiates a new conversion and the cycle repeats. Power-Up Sequence Through timing control of the CS, SCK and EXT pins, The LTC2442 automatically enters an internal reset state the LTC2442 offers several flexible modes of operation when the power supply voltage VCC drops below approx- (internal or external SCK). These various modes do not imately 2.2V. This feature guarantees the integrity of the require programming configuration registers; moreover, conversion result and of the serial interface mode selection. they do not disturb the cyclic operation described above. When the V These modes of operation are described in detail in the CC voltage rises above this critical threshold, the converter creates an internal power-on-reset (POR) Serial Interface Timing Modes section. signal with a duration of approximately 0.5ms. The POR signal clears all internal registers. The conversion Ease of Use immediately following a POR is performed on the input The LTC2442 data output has no latency, filter settling channel SEL+ = CH0, SEL– = CH1 at an OSR = 256 in the delay or redundant data associated with the conversion 1X mode. Following the POR signal, the LTC2442 starts cycle while operating in the 1X mode. There is a one-to-one a normal conversion cycle and follows the succession correspondence between the conversion and the output of states described above. The first conversion result data.
