LTC2421/LTC2422

24212f

Conversion Clock

A major advantage delta-sigma converters offer over con-

ventional type converters is an on-chip digital filter (com-

monly known as Sinc or Comb filter). For high resolution,

low frequency applications, this filter is typically designed

to reject line frequencies of 50Hz or 60Hz plus their har-

monics. In order to reject these frequencies in excess of

110dB, a highly accurate conversion clock is required. The

LTC2421/LTC2422 incorporate an on-chip highly accu-

rate oscillator. This eliminates the need for external fre-

quency setting components such as crystals or oscilla-

tors. Clocked by the on-chip oscillator, the LTC2421/

LTC2422 reject line frequencies (50Hz or 60Hz

±2%) a

minimum of 110dB.

Ease of Use

The LTC2421/LTC2422 data output has no latency, filter

settling or redundant data associated with the conver-

sion cycle. There is a one-to-one correspondence be-

tween the conversion and the output data. Therefore,

multiplexing an analog input voltage is easy.

The LTC2421/LTC2422 perform offset and full-scale cali-

brations every conversion cycle. This calibration is trans-

parent to the user and has no effect on the cyclic operation

described above. The advantage of continuous calibration

is extreme stability of offset and full-scale readings with

respect to time, supply voltage change and temperature

drift.

Power-Up Sequence

The LTC2421/LTC2422 automatically enter an internal reset

state when the power supply voltage VCC drops below

approximately 2.2V. This feature guarantees the integrity

of the conversion result and of the serial interface mode

selection which is performed at the initial power-up. (See

the 2-wire I/O sections in the Serial Interface Timing Modes

section.)

When the VCC voltage rises above this critical threshold,

the converter creates an internal power-on-reset (POR)

signal with duration of approximately 0.5ms. The POR

signal clears all internal registers. Following the POR sig-

nal, the LTC2421/LTC2422 start a normal conversion cycle

and follows the normal succession of states described

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

above. The first conversion result following POR is accu-

rate within the specifications of the device.

Reference Voltage Range

The LTC2421/LTC2422 can accept a reference voltage(VREF

= FSSET – ZSSET) from 0V to VCC. The converter output

noise is determined by the thermal noise of the front-end

circuits, and as such, its value in microvolts is nearly con-

stant with reference voltage. A decrease in reference volt-

age will not significantly improve the converter’s effective

resolution. On the other hand, a reduced reference voltage

will improve the overall converter INL performance. The

recommended range for the LTC2421/LTC2422 voltage

reference is 100mV to VCC.

Input Voltage Range

The converter is able to accommodate system level offset

and gain errors as well as system level overrange situa-

tions due to its extended input range, see Figure 3. The

LTC2421/LTC2422 convert input signals within the ex-

tended input range of – 0.125 • VREF to 1.125 • VREF

(VREF = FSSET – ZSSET).

For large values of VREF (VREF = FSSET – ZSSET), this range

is limited by the absolute maximum voltage range of

– 0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V). Beyond this range, the input ESD

protection devices begin to turn on and the errors due to

the input leakage current increase rapidly.

Input signals applied to VIN may extend below ground by

– 300mV and above VCC by 300mV. In order to limit any
