The maximum operating temperature range for the LTC1696ES6 is -40°C to 125°C.
To ensure proper power-up and initialization, make sure to follow the recommended power-up sequence, which is to apply VCC first, followed by VREF, and then the input signal. Also, ensure that the input signal is within the specified range.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to follow a star-ground layout, with the LTC1696ES6 at the center. Keep the input and output traces short and away from noise sources. Also, use a solid ground plane and decouple the power supplies with 0.1uF capacitors.
To prevent ESD damage, handle the LTC1696ES6 by the body, not the pins. Use an anti-static wrist strap or mat, and ensure the workspace is ESD-safe. Also, use ESD-protected storage and shipping materials.
The recommended input signal range for the LTC1696ES6 is 0V to VREF. Exceeding this range may result in inaccurate conversions or damage to the device.
