LTC2487CDE#PBF - 16-Bit, I2C ADC with Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation

The LTC2487CDE#PBF from Linear Technology is a highly versatile 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that offers a unique combination of features, precision, and ease of use. Designed for applications requiring high accuracy measurement, such as industrial control systems, temperature sensing, and medical equipment, this ADC stands out with its Easy Drive technology which significantly reduces the input current, thus minimizing the required drive strength of the external buffer and simplifying the design of input signal conditioning circuits.

With an integrated precision reference and oscillator, the LTC2487CDE#PBF eliminates the need for external components, saving space and cost on the PCB. The device operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, making it suitable for a wide range of power environments. Additionally, its I2C interface supports standard, fast, and high-speed modes, allowing for easy integration with most microcontrollers and digital systems.

The ADC features a unique internal temperature sensor that provides added functionality, allowing users to monitor temperature within their system without the need for additional components. This feature can be particularly useful for system diagnostics and protection.

Another key feature of the LTC2487CDE#PBF is its automatic cycle-by-cycle rejection of 50Hz and 60Hz line frequency noise, which is a common issue in industrial environments. This capability ensures that the ADC delivers clean, accurate readings even in electrically noisy conditions.

The device comes in a compact 12-lead DFN package, which is suitable for space-constrained applications. Its operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C guarantees reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions.

In summary, the LTC2487CDE#PBF ADC from Linear Technology offers high-precision measurements, integrated features, and ease of use for designers looking to enhance their systems with accurate data acquisition capabilities.
