LTC2480IMS#TRPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2480?
  The maximum sampling rate of the LTC2480 is 15ksps (kilo-samples per second) for a single channel, and 7.5ksps for multiple channels.
• How do I ensure accurate measurements with the LTC2480?
  To ensure accurate measurements, it is essential to follow proper PCB layout and design guidelines, use a low-noise power supply, and minimize noise coupling to the analog inputs.
• Can I use the LTC2480 with an external reference voltage?
  Yes, the LTC2480 can be used with an external reference voltage. The REF pin can be connected to an external reference voltage source, which can improve the accuracy and stability of the ADC.
• What is the power consumption of the LTC2480?
  The power consumption of the LTC2480 depends on the operating mode and the sampling rate. In normal mode, the typical power consumption is around 1.5mA, and in shutdown mode, it is around 1μA.
• How do I interface the LTC2480 with a microcontroller?
  The LTC2480 can be interfaced with a microcontroller using the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol. The microcontroller can send commands to the LTC2480 to start a conversion, and then read the resulting data from the ADC.
