Application Note 80 July 1999 How to Use the World’s Smallest 24-Bit No Latency Delta-SigmaTM ADC to its Fullest Potential Frequently Asked Questions About Delta-Sigma ADCs and the LTC2400 By Michael K. Mayes ® TM Linear Technology’s LTC 2400 is the world’s first 24-bit Latency∆Σ , architecture. The key topics addressed here ADC in an SO-8 Package. An innovative new delta-sigma include speed, noise, PGAs, line frequency, rejection, architecture has been developed. The result is a small, input current, multiplexing, analog input range and key highly accurate, simple-to-use delta-sigma ADC. This features differentiating the LTC2400 from other delta- paper was created to educate users on several topics sigma ADCs. associated with delta-sigma converters and to dispel , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. confusion associated with this new one-shot, or No No Latency Delta-Sigma and No Latency ∆Σ are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. AN80-1 Application Note 80 LTC2400 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I. Questions Dealing with Speed 1. I currently use a competitor’s delta sigma running at an Additionally, the competitors’ part does not reject output rate of 60Hz; can I run the LTC2400 at 60Hz? 50Hz/60Hz. Competition: For a 60Hz notch, most of the competition’s LTC2400: Running at a 7.5Hz output rate, the LTC2400’s output rates are 60Hz. However, 3 out of 4 output data are noise perfor
