The LTC2461/LTC2463 are ultra tiny, 16-Bit analog to digital converters with an integrated precision reference. They use a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and communicate through an I2C Interface. The LTC2461 is single-ended with a 0V to 1.25V input range and the LTC2463 is differential with a 1.25V input range. Both ADCs include a 1.25V integrated reference with 2ppm/°C drift performance and 0.1% initial accuracy. The converters are available in a 12-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package or an MSOP-12 package. They include an integrated oscillator and perform conversions with no latency for multiplexed applications. The LTC2461/LTC2463 include a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces the average input current several orders of magnitude when compared to conventional delta sigma converters.Following a single conversion, the LTC2461/LTC2463 automatically power down the converter and can also be configured to power down the reference. When both the ADC and reference are powered down, the supply current is reduced to 200nA.The LTC2461/LTC2463 can sample at 60 conversions per second and, due to the very large oversampling ratio, have extremely relaxed antialiasing requirements. Both include continuous internal offset and fullscale calibration algorithms which are transparent to the user, ensuring accuracy over time and the operating temperature range.ApplicationsSystem MonitoringEnvironmental MonitoringDirect Temperature MeasurementsInstrumentationData AcquisitionEmbedded ADC Upgrades

The LTC2470/LTC2472 are small, 16-bit analog-to-digital converters with an integrated precision reference and a selectable 208sps or 833sps output rate. They use a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and communicate through a SPI Interface. The LTC2470 is single-ended with a 0V to VREFinput range and the LTC2472 is differential with a ±VREFinput range. Both ADC’s include a 1.25V integrated reference with 2ppm/°C drift performance and 0.1% initial accuracy. The converters are available in a 12-pin DFN 3mm × 3mm package or an MSOP-12 package.

The LTC2481 combines a 16-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-torail input range to be directly digitized while maintaining exceptional DC accuracy.The LTC2481 includes on-chip programmable gain and an oscillator. The LTC2481 can be configured through an I2C interface to provide a programmable gain from 1 to 256 in 8 steps, to digitize an external signal or internal temperature sensor, reject line frequencies (50Hz, 60Hz or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz) as well as a 2x speed-up mode.The LTC2481 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 LTC2481 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.ApplicationsDirect Sensor DigitizerWeight ScalesDirect Temperature MeasurementStrain Gauge TransducersInstrumentationIndustrial Process ControlDVMs and Meters
