LTC2412IGN - A Precision 24-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter

The LTC2412IGN is a highly accurate 24-bit No Latency ΔΣ™ Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) brought to you by Linear Technology, a leader in the design and manufacturing of high-performance analog integrated circuits. This exceptional ADC is designed for direct digitization of low-frequency, high-impedance sensor outputs, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of precision measurement applications.

Encased in a narrow 16-lead SSOP package, the LTC2412IGN offers a differential input and an integrated oscillator, which simplifies the design of precision measurement systems by reducing the number of external components required. The device operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V power supply and includes an automatic calibration function that ensures outstanding accuracy over time and temperature, with no need for user intervention.

One of the remarkable features of the LTC2412IGN is its No Latency ΔΣ architecture, which guarantees that there is no pipeline delay in the conversion process. This makes the LTC2412IGN exceptionally well-suited for multiplexed applications that require fast channel-to-channel switching without sacrificing accuracy.

The device boasts an impressive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of up to 104dB and a total unadjusted error (TUE) of less than 10ppm of the full-scale range. Additionally, the LTC2412IGN offers a flexible input range, including a ±2.5V differential input range or a 0V to 5V single-ended input range, making it versatile for various signal types.

Furthermore, the LTC2412IGN features a simple 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface that can be easily interfaced with microcontrollers and digital systems. The converter also provides a configurable digital filter, which helps to reduce the influence of high-frequency noise, ensuring clean and reliable data conversion.

In summary, the LTC2412IGN from Linear Technology is an excellent choice for engineers and designers looking for a high-precision, easy-to-use ADC that offers great flexibility and performance for industrial, medical, instrumentation, and automation applications.
