LTC1197CMS8#PBF

Data Acquisition - Analog to Digital Converters (ADC)

The LTC1197CMS8#PBF is part of a family of precision 16-bit, 1.8V and CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC). This device features 16-bit performance and is master as well as slave synchronizable. It is an ideal choice for applications that require low power, lightning speed, and low noise performance.

Features and Benefits

The LTC1197CMS8#PBF integrates a number of features that make it a highly useful device. It offers 16-bit resolution with only ± 1 LSB DNL and no missing codes, a 1.8V power supply operation with 0.25V of hysteresis, a master/slave synchronization mode, an over-temperature detect, an integrated linear power distribution circuit, and an integrated reference. The device also has a single conversion solution (one-tap to finish) that aims at reducing programming and debugging times by eliminating the need to program a separate configurable register file.

Other features that increase the convenience of the LTC1197CMS8#PBF include configurable stride size, offset, gain, and rate of operation. Its performance is further improved by its low power consumption, faster sampling rates, and starting time faster than 250 μs. The output signal also features integrity with low-glitch, low-spike and low-noise contributions.

Applications

The LTC1197CMS8#PBF is suitable for a wide range of applications, including the following: temperature measurements, signal processing, automatic control systems, data acquisition and instrumentation systems, vibration sensors, gas sensing, power supplies and general analog to digital conversion needs.

It is also suitable for any other application requiring a low power, high accuracy analog to digital converter. This is especially true for applications in which noise, speed, and accuracy are a major concern.

Working Principle

The LTC1197CMS8#PBF works on the principle of flash conversion. It has a parallel data bus and a serial control bus. The device works by transferring digital data from the analog world to the digital world. To accomplish this, it measures analog input levels and compares these values to predefined levels, or thresholds. When the threshold levels are met, the device will generate digital signal with an accuracy of up to 16-bits.

The LTC1197CMS8#PBF also features a master-slave synchronous network that can be used to synchronize individual ADCs. This enables multiple ADCs to communicate and share data across multiple applications and processes. This feature is especially useful when dealing with large amounts of data or tasks that require a higher level of accuracy.

The device also features a linear power distribution circuit which allows the application to minimize the power consumption. This way, more computations can be done with low power and high accuracy.

Overall, the LTC1197CMS8#PBF is an ideal choice for applications that require low power, lightning speed, and high performance.
