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 LTC2482 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 noise level is 600nV RMS independent of
V
REF
. This allows direct digitization of low level signals
with 16-bit accuracy. The LTC2482 includes an on-chip
trimmed oscillator, eliminating the need for external crystals
or oscillators and provides 87dB rejection of 50Hz and
60Hz line frequency noise. Absolute accuracy and low
drift are automatically maintained through continuous,
transparent, offset and full-scale calibration.

Note 5:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 6:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 7:
f

f
EOSC
= 280kHz ±2% (external oscillator).
Note 10:
The SCK can be configured in external SCK mode or internal SCK
mode. In external SCK mode, the SCK pin is used as digital input and the
driving clock is f
ESCK
. In internal SCK mode, the SCK pin is used as digital
output and the output clock signal during the data output is f
ISCK
.
Note 11:
The external oscillator is connected to the f
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in kHz.
Note 12:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
Note 13:
The output noise includes the contribution of the internal
calibration operations.
Note 14:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
