™ analog-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 LTC2480 includes on-chip programmable gain and
an oscillator. The LTC2480 can be configured to provide a
programmable gain from 1 to 256 in 8 steps, measure an
external signal or internal temperature sensor and reject
line frequencies. 50Hz, 60Hz or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz
line frequency rejection can be selected as well as a 2x
speed-up mode.
The LTC2480 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 LTC2480 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.
