Product Details
The LTC2308 is a low noise, 500ksps, 8-channel, 12-bit ADC with an SPI/MICROWIRE compatible serial interface. This ADC includes an internal reference and a fully differential sample-and-hold circuit to reduce common-mode noise. The internal conversion clock allows the external serial output data clock (SCK) to operate at any frequency up to 40MHz.
The LTC2308 operates from a single 5V supply and draws just 3.5mA at a sample rate of 500ksps. The auto-shutdown feature reduces the supply current to 200µA at a sample rate of 1ksps.
The LTC2308 is packaged in a small 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN. The internal 2.5V reference and 8-channel multiplexer further reduce PCB board space requirements.
The low power consumption and small size make the LTC2308 ideal for battery operated and portable applications, while the 4-wire SPI compatible serial interface makes this ADC a good match for isolated or remote data acquisition systems.
Applications
- High Speed Data Acquisition
- Industrial Process Control
