LTC2451CTS8#PBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC2451CTS8#PBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2451?
  The maximum sampling rate of the LTC2451 is 15ksps (kilo-samples per second) for a single channel, and 7.5ksps for multiple channels.
• How do I ensure accurate conversions with the LTC2451?
  To ensure accurate conversions, make sure to follow proper PCB layout guidelines, use a low-noise power supply, and minimize digital noise coupling to the analog inputs.
• Can I use the LTC2451 with an external reference voltage?
  Yes, the LTC2451 can be used with an external reference voltage. The REF pin can be connected to an external reference voltage source, and the internal reference voltage can be disabled by connecting the REFEN pin to GND.
• What is the power consumption of the LTC2451?
  The power consumption of the LTC2451 depends on the operating mode and the sampling rate. In normal mode, the typical power consumption is 1.5mA at 5V supply voltage, and in shutdown mode, the typical power consumption is 1μA.
• How do I interface the LTC2451 with a microcontroller?
  The LTC2451 can be interfaced with a microcontroller using a 3-wire SPI interface. The microcontroller can send commands to the LTC2451 to start conversions, read data, and configure the device.
