The LTC®2489 is a 4-channel (2-channel differential),
16-bit, No Latency DS™ ADC with Easy Drive technology
and a 2-wire, I2C interface. The patented 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.
The LTC2489 includes an integrated oscillator. This device
can be configured to measure an external signal from combinations of 4 analog input channels operating in singleended or differential modes. It automatically rejects line
frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz simultaneously.
The LTC2489 allows a wide, common mode input range
(0V to VCC), independent of the reference voltage. Any
combination of single-ended or differential inputs can be
selected and the first conversion, after a new channel is
selected, is valid. Access to the multiplexer output enables
optional external amplifiers to be shared between all
analog inputs and auto calibration continuously removes
their associated offset and drift.
