FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
2-Channel Differential Input with Automatic
The LTC®2436-1 is a 2-channel differential input mi-
cropower 16-bit No Latency ∆ΣTM analog-to-digital con-
verter with an integrated oscillator. It provides 0.5LSB
INL and 800nV RMS noise independent of VREF. The two
differential channels convert alternately with a channel
identification included in the conversion result. It uses
delta-sigma technology and provides single conversion
settling of the digital filter. Through a single pin, the
LTC2436-1 can be configured for better than 87dB input
differential mode rejection at 50Hz and 60Hz ±2%, or it
can be driven by an external oscillator for a user defined
rejection frequency. The internal oscillator requires no
external frequency setting components.

The converter accepts any external differential reference
voltage from 0.1V to VCC for flexible ratiometric and
remote sensing measurement configurations. The full-
scale differential input range is from –0.5 • VREF to 0.5 •
VREF. The reference common mode voltage, VREFCM, and
the input common mode voltage, VINCM, may be indepen-
dently set anywhere between GND and VCC. The DC
common mode input rejection is better than 140dB.
