DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The LTC®2440 is a high speed 24-bit No Latency Δ∑TM
ADC with 5ppm INL and 5μV offset. It uses proprietary
delta-sigmaarchitectureenablingvariablespeedandreso-

Differential Input and Differential Reference with
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.

24-Bit ADC in Narrow 16-Lead SSOP Package
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.Forexample,runningatthe3.5kHzconversionspeed
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.
