LTC2473CMS#PBF - 16-Bit I2C ADC with Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation

The LTC2473CMS#PBF is a highly precise 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) from Linear Technology, designed to provide accurate data conversion with a simplified interface for a wide range of applications. This component is part of the Linear Technology family, known for their high-quality and reliable integrated circuits.

This ADC features an I2C interface, which allows for easy communication with most microcontrollers and digital systems. The I2C interface supports standard, fast, and high-speed modes, making it versatile for different system requirements. The LTC2473CMS#PBF is capable of performing conversions at rates up to 250 samples per second, providing a good balance between speed and resolution.

One of the key features of the LTC2473CMS#PBF is its Easy Drive technology, which significantly reduces the input current, minimizing the charge kickback and making it easier to drive the ADC inputs without the need for buffering. This results in simplified circuit design and lower power consumption, which is particularly beneficial for battery-powered devices and remote sensing applications.

The ADC operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and includes an integrated reference with low drift and high accuracy. This internal reference helps to reduce external component count and ensures stable performance over a wide range of temperatures and supply voltages.

Packaged in a compact 12-lead MSOP, the LTC2473CMS#PBF is suitable for space-constrained applications. Its operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C makes it reliable for industrial environments. The ADC also features a no latency delta-sigma architecture, which provides a continuous stream of data without delay, making it ideal for control loop applications and real-time monitoring.

Whether it is for data acquisition systems, medical devices, industrial control, or portable instrumentation, the LTC2473CMS#PBF ADC offers a high-performance solution that combines ease of use with excellent dynamic performance. Its robust design and integrated features are tailored to meet the stringent requirements of precision measurement applications.
