Linear Technology LTC2493CDE#PBF Product Overview

The LTC2493CDE#PBF is a precision, 24-bit, No Latency ΔΣ ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) from Linear Technology, which is now part of Analog Devices. This high-performance component is designed to deliver a combination of high accuracy and ease-of-use for a wide range of applications including temperature sensing, industrial process control, instrumentation, and medical devices.

One of the standout features of the LTC2493CDE#PBF is its Easy Drive™ technology, which significantly reduces the requirements on the external driver circuitry, allowing for direct sensor interfacing without the need for additional signal conditioning. This technology simplifies the design process and reduces the overall system cost and complexity.

The LTC2493CDE#PBF offers a 2-wire I²C-compatible serial interface, making it an excellent choice for applications where pin count is limited or where a simple interface to microcontrollers or digital systems is required. The device's small 14-lead DFN package (4mm x 3mm) is perfect for space-constrained applications, while still providing excellent thermal performance.

With its flexible input configuration, the LTC2493CDE#PBF can be configured to measure a single differential input or two single-ended inputs. The device also features an internal temperature sensor with ±1°C accuracy, which can be used for temperature compensation or system diagnostics.

The ADC operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and includes a selectable internal reference with a 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient. This internal reference greatly reduces the external component count and simplifies the design process. Additionally, the LTC2493CDE#PBF has an impressive sampling rate of up to 15 samples per second, providing both precision and speed to meet the requirements of a variety of applications.

Overall, the LTC2493CDE#PBF from Linear Technology is a versatile and reliable ADC solution that offers high accuracy, low power consumption, and a user-friendly interface, making it an ideal choice for precision data acquisition systems.
