The LTC2480IMS#PBF is a 16-bit delta sigma analog-to-digital converter featuring a programmable gain amplifier. It is designed for high resolution data acquisition applications, such as in Industrial, Automotive, and Medical systems, and also for applications such as weigh scales, strain gauges, pressure transducers, and other process control systems. It contains an integrated 60dB PGA, allowing simple gain setting using two flexiwire pins. The PGA also provides a low-offset mechanism to lessen the effect of any residual DC errors on the overall performance. It includes an internal cold junction reference for temperature sensing. The LTC2480IMS#PBF also contains on-chip filtering components to make its overall performance more stable over time and temperature. Low-power operation allows the converter to perform over the entire desired temperature range with minimal power consumption.
