DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
n
Up to 8 Differential or 16 Single-Ended Inputs
The LTC®2498 is a 16-channel (8-differential) 24-bit No
Latency ΔΣ™ ADC with Easy Drive technology. The pat-
ented 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 rail-to-rail
input signals to be directly digitized while maintaining
exceptional DC accuracy.

and an integrated oscillator. This device can be configured
to measure an external signal (from combinations of 16
analog input channels operating in single ended or dif-
ferential modes) or its internal temperature sensor. The
integrated temperature sensor offers 1/30th °C resolution
and 2°C absolute accuracy.
