LTC2446/LTC2447 24-Bit High Speed 8-Channel ∆Σ ADCs with Selectable Multiple Reference Inputs FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Five Selectable Differential Reference Inputs The LTC®2446/LTC2447 4-terminal switching enables n Four Differential/Eight Single-Ended Inputs multiplexed ratiometric measurements. Four sets of n 4-Way MUX for Multiple Ratiometric selectable differential inputs coupled with four sets of Measurements differential reference inputs allow multiple RTDs, bridges n Up to 8kHz Output Rate (External fO) and other sensors to be digitized by a single converter. n Up to 4kHz Multiplexing Rate (External fO) A fifth differential reference input can be selected for any n Selectable Speed/Resolution: input channel not requiring ratiometric measurements 2µVRMS Noise at 1.76kHz Output Rate (thermocouples, voltages, current sense, etc.). The flex- 200nVRMS Noise at 13.8Hz Output Rate with ible input multiplexer allows single-ended or differential Simultaneous 50/60Hz Rejection n inputs coupled with a slaved reference input or a universal Guaranteed Modulator Stability and Lock-Up reference input. Immunity for any Input and Reference Conditions n 0.0005% INL, No Missing Codes A proprietary delta-sigma architecture results in absolute n Autosleep Enables 20µA Operation at 6.9Hz accuracy (offset, full-scale, linearity) of 15ppm, noise as n <5µV Offset (4.5V < VCC < 5.5V, –40°C to 85°C) low as 200nV n RMS and speeds as high as 8kHz. Through Differential Input and Differential Reference with a simple 4-wire interface, ten speed/resolution combina- GND to VCC Common Mode Range n tions can be selected.
