LTC2252CUH#TRPBF

Data acquisition is a process of collecting and storing data from a variety of sources for further use. This can be accomplished through analog to digital (A/D) converters, also known as ADCs. The LTC2252CUH#TRPBF is a highly integrated 8-bit ADC which offers an impressive performance and accuracy even in a small, low-power 3-by-3 mm package.

It is a successor of the LTC2251, with added features such as improved resolution, temperature measurement and error correction. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as in medical imaging and process control systems.

LTC2252CUH#TRPBF application field

The LTC2252CUH#TRPBF is suitable for various applications, including medical and process control systems that require high accuracy within a power budget. It is designed to measure temperatures from -20 to +105°C and to convert the measured data into a binary digital word.

The LTC2252CUH#TRPBF is also suitable for use in industrial control systems, such as automated test equipment and test and measurement systems. This ADC offers an excellent alternative to conventional 8-bit ADCs, as it allows for greater precision and accuracy, with a very low current draw.

LTC2252CUH#TRPBF working principle

The LTC2252CUH#TRPBF works by using a voltage reference to determine the signal level. When a signal is applied to the input, a series of conversions take place within the chip which measure the input and convert it into a digital word. This process is known as delta-sigma conversion.

In the LTC2252CUH#TRPBF, the information from the input is combined with the output of a digital temperature sensor. This is then compared with a reference voltage to calculate the temperature of the input signal. The ADC then converts this temperature data into an 8-bit binary word, which can be stored in memory or used by a digital controller.

In addition to its excellent performance, the LTC2252CUH#TRPBF is also equipped with a built-in error correction circuit. This allows for better linearity and a lower total harmonic distortion (THD). This ensures a higher accuracy in the output.

Conclusion

The LTC2252CUH#TRPBF is an excellent 8-bit ADC for a wide range of applications, from medical imaging and industrial process control to test and measurement systems. This ADC offers high accuracy and very low power consumption, with features such as error correction and temperature measurement. As such, it is an excellent choice for applications where accuracy and precision are required.
