FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®2424/LTC2428 are 4-/8-channel 2.7V to 5.5V
micropower 20-bit A/D converters with an integrated
oscillator, 8ppm INL and 1.2ppm RMS noise. They use
delta-sigma technology and provide single cycle digital
filter settling time (no latency delay) for multiplexed
applications. The first conversion after the channel is
changedisalwaysvalid.ThroughasinglepintheLTC2424/
LTC2428 can be configured for better than 110dB rejec-
tion at 50Hz or 60Hz ±2%, or can be driven by an external
oscillator for a user defined rejection frequency in the
range 1Hz to 800Hz. The internal oscillator requires no
external frequency setting components.

Pin Compatible 4-/8-Channel 20-Bit ADCs
■
8ppm INL, No Missing Codes at 20 Bits
■
4ppm Full-Scale Error and 0.5ppm Offset
■
1.2ppm Noise
■
Digital Filter Settles in a Single Cycle. Each
Conversion is Accurate, Even After Changing
Channels
■
Fast Mode: 16-Bit Noise, 12-Bit TUE at 100sps
■
Internal Oscillator—No External Components
Required
■
110dB Min, 50Hz/60Hz Notch Filter
■
Reference Input Voltage: 0.1V to VCC
■
Live Zero—Extended Input Range Accommodates
The converters accept any external reference voltage from
0.1VtoVCC. Withtheirextendedinputconversionrangeof
–12.5% VREF to 112.5% VREF (VREF = FSSET – ZSSET) the
LTC2424/LTC2428 smoothly resolve the offset and
overrange problems of preceding sensors or signal con-
ditioning circuits.
