converters with an integrated precision reference and
a selectable 250sps or 1ksps 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
VREF input range and the LTC2472 is differential with a
VREF input range. Both ADC’s include a 1.25V integrated
referencewith2ppm/°Cdriftperformanceand0.1%initial
accuracy. The converters are available in a 12-pin DFN
3mm × 3mm package or an MSOP-12 package. They
include an integrated oscillator and perform conver-
sions with no latency for multiplexed applications. The
LTC2470/LTC2472 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 LTC2470/LTC2472
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.

Instrumentation
The LTC2470/LTC2472 include a user selectable 250sps
or 1ksps output rate and due to a large oversampling
ratio (8,192 at 250sps and 2,048 at 1ksps) have relaxed
anti-aliasing requirements.
