LTC2440
24-Bit High Speed
Differential
Δ∑
ADC with
Selectable Speed/Resolution
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
2440 is a high speed 24-bit No Latency Δ∑
TM
ADC with 5ppm INL and 5μV offset. It uses proprietary
delta-sigma architecture enabling variable speed and reso-
lution with no latency. Ten speed/resolution combinations
(6.9Hz/200nV
RMS
to 3.5kHz/25μV
RMS
) are programmed
through a simple serial interface. Alternatively, by tying a
single pin HIGH or LOW, a fast (880Hz/2μV
RMS
) or ultralow
noise (6.9Hz, 200nV
RMS
, 50/60Hz rejection) speed/reso-
lution combination can be easily selected. The accuracy
(offset, full-scale, linearity, drift) and power dissipation
are independent of the speed selected. Since there is no
latency, a speed/resolution change may be made between
conversions with no degradation in performance.
Following each conversion cycle, the LTC2440 automati-
cally enters a low power sleep state. Power dissipation
may be reduced by increasing the duration of this sleep
state. For example, running at the 3.5kHz conversion speed
but reading data at a 100Hz rate draws 240μA average
current (1.1mW) while reading data at a 7Hz output rate
draws only 25μA (125μW).The LTC2440 communicates
through a flexible 3-wire or 4-wire digital interface that is
compatible with the LTC2410 and is available in a narrow
16-lead SSOP package.

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:
The converter uses the internal oscillator.
Note 8:
The converter is in external SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital input. The frequency of the clock signal driving
SCK during the data output is f
ESCK
and is expressed in Hz.
Note 9:
The converter is in internal SCK mode of operation such that the
SCK pin is used as a digital output. In this mode of operation, the SCK pin
.
has a total equivalent load capacitance of C
LOAD
= 20pF
Note 10:
The external oscillator is connected to the f
O
pin. The external
oscillator frequency, f
EOSC
, is expressed in kHz.
Note 11:
The converter uses the internal oscillator. f
O
= 0V.
Note 12:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
Note 13:
There is an internal reset that adds an additional 1μs (typical) to
the conversion time.
