LTC2264IUJ-14#PBF

Data Acquisition - Analog to Digital Converters (ADC)

The LTC2264IUJ-14#PBF is an ultra-low power, high speed 8-bit successive approximation ADC with a typical power consumption of 200uA , making it highly suitable for mobile applications. This ADC comes in a 14-pin lead-free PFN package and has excellent performance characteristics.

Application Field

The LTC2264IUJ-14#PBF is most suitable for applications requiring very low power consumption such as mobile phones and portable devices, where energy efficiency is of utmost importance. This ADC can also be used for medical instrumentations and data acquisition applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the LTC2264IUJ-14#PBF can be broken down into three basic steps. First, the analog signal is converted into an 8-bit digital representation. This is achieved by the successive approximation register (SAR) integrated in the ADC. The SAR implements an algorithm to slowly compare the analog voltage with a reference value and eventually arrives at the digital representation of the analog voltage. Secondly, the digital output is then passed through a digital filter and a gain stage to provide a linearly corrected output. Finally, the output is fed through an output stage that provides the 8-bit digital output.

Features and Benefits

The LTC2264IUJ-14#PBF ADC offers excellent performance characteristics due to its low power consumption, high sample rate and high resolution. The SAR used in the ADC is designed for very low power consumption, allowing for extended battery life as well as shrinking the amount of heat generated during operation. The device also offers a relatively high sample rate of 14.4MSPS, allowing for accurate and quick data conversion. The ADC also has a high resolution of 8-bits, allowing for accurate representation of the analog input.

Conclusion

The LTC2264IUJ-14#PBF is an excellent choice for applications requiring very low power consumption, high sample rate and high resolution. This ADC is highly suitable for mobile applications due to its low power consumption and can also be used for medical instrumentations and data acquisition applications.
