Description

The LTC2485 combines a 24-bit plus sign No Latency ΔΣ™ analog-to-digital converter with patented Easy Drive technology and I2C digital interface. 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 LTC2485 includes an on-chip oscillator. The LTC2485 can be configured through an I2C interface to reject line frequencies. 50Hz, 60Hz or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz line frequency rejection can be selected as well as a 2x speed-up mode.The LTC2485 allows a wide common mode input range (0V to VCC) independent of the reference voltage. The reference can be as low as 100mV or can be tied directly to VCC. The LTC2485 includes an on-chip trimmed oscillator eliminating the need for external crystals or oscillators. Absolute accuracy and low drift are automatically maintained through continuous, transparent, offset and full-scale calibration.Applications Direct Sensor Digitizer Weight Scales Direct Temperature Measurement Strain Gauge Transducers Instrumentation Industrial Process Control DVMs and Meters
