The advantage of continuous calibration is will theoretically output an “all zero” digital result when the extreme stability of the ADC performance with respect to input is at ground (a zero scale input) and an “all one” digital time and temperature. result when the input is at VCC (a full-scale input). The LTC2450 includes a proprietary input sampling scheme The converter offset and gain error specifi cations ensure that reduces the average input current several orders of that all 65536 possible codes will be produced within this magnitude as compared to traditional delta sigma archi- voltage range.
