Description
Demonstration circuit 951A features the LTC2481, a 16-Bit
high performance Δ∑ analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The LTC2481 features 2ppm linearity, 25ppm full-scale
accuracy, 2.5μV offset, and 600nV
is fully differential, with input common mode rejection of
140dB. The LTC2481 is available in a 10-pin DFN package

and has an easy to use I
DC951A is a member of Linear Technology's QuikEval™
family of demonstration boards. It is designed to allow easy
evaluation of the LTC2481 and may be connected directly
to the target application's analog signals while using the

to measure performance. The exposed ground planes allow
proper grounding to prototype circuitry. After evaluating
with Linear Technology's software, the digital signals can
be connected to the end application's processor/controller
for development of the serial interface.
