Working Principle of the LTC2240IUP-12 ADC

The LTC2240IUP-12 ADC is a multi-slope integrating converter, which uses a variable ratio between successive integrator cycles to maintain a constant output step size. This ensures a high degree of linearity and accuracy.The device contains two identical references, one for the positive side of the input signal and one for the negative side. Both references are set to the same voltage, which sets the full-scale range of the device. The positive and negative references each produce a sawtooth waveform, which the device uses to sample the input signal. The device then generates a corresponding digital output code, with each step size being equal to the size of the references sawtooth waveform.The device also contains an on-board comparator, which compares the input voltage to the reference voltage. When the input voltage exceeds the reference voltage, the comparator triggers the integration cycle to begin again. The ADC\'s output code is then updated based on the new integration cycle.

Conclusion

The LTC2240IUP-12 is a high-performance, high-resolution ADC designed for a wide range of applications. Its low power consumption and small footprint make it an ideal choice for applications requiring precision and accuracy. Its working principle of integrating two overlapping sawtooth waves ensures a high degree of linearity and accuracy in its output. Furthermore, its differential input, wide range of input signal, and high sampling rate make it perfect for high-speed, high-resolution signal acquisition applications.
