Rejection Mode (FA, FB)
The LTC2495 includes a high accuracy on-chip oscillator
with no required external components. Coupled with an
integrated fourth-order digital lowpass filter, the LTC2495
rejects line frequency noise. In the default mode, the
LTC2495 simultaneously rejects 50Hz and 60Hz by at least
87dB. If more rejection is required, the LTC2495 can be
configured to reject 50Hz or 60Hz to better than 110dB.
Speed Mode (SPD)
Every conversion cycle, two conversions are combined
to remove the offset (default mode). This result is free
from offset and drift. In applications where the offset is
not critical, the auto-calibration feature can be disabled
with the benefit of twice the output rate.
While operating in the 2x mode (SPD = 1), the linearity
and full-scale errors are unchanged from the 1x mode
performance. In both the 1x and 2x mode there is no
latency. This enables input steps or multiplexer changes
to settle in a single conversion cycle, easing system over-
head and increasing the effective conversion rate. During
temperature measurements, the 1x mode is always used
independent of the value of SPD.
GAIN (GS2, GS1, GS0)
The input referred gain of the LTC2495 is adjustable
from 1 to 256 (see Tables 5a and 5b). With a gain of 1,
the differential input range is ±VREF/2 and the common
mode input range is rail-to-rail. As the gain is increased,
the differential input range is reduced to ±0.5 VREF/Gain
but the common mode input range remains rail-to-rail.
As the differential gain is increased, low level voltages
are digitized with greater resolution. At a gain of 256, the
LTC2495 digitizes an input signal range of ±9.76mV with
over 16,000 counts.
Temperature Sensor
The LTC2495 includes an integrated temperature sensor.
The temperature sensor is selected by setting IM = 1.
During temperature readings, MUXOUTN/MUXOUTP
remains connected to the selected input channel. The
ADC internally connects to the temperature sensor and
performs a conversion.
The digital output is proportional to the absolute tem-
perature of the device. This feature allows the converter
to perform cold junction compensation for external
thermocouples or continuously remove the temperature
effects of external sensors.
