The LTC1605-2CG#PBF is a single supply 16-bit sampling Analog-to-digital Converter (ADC) that draws only 55mW from a single 5V supply. This easy-to-use device includes a sample-and-hold, precision reference, switched capacitor successive approximation A/D and trimmed internal clock. An external reference can be used if greater accuracy over temperature is needed. The ADC has a microprocessor compatible, 16-bit or two byte parallel output port. A convert start input and a data ready signal (BUSY) ease connections to FIFOs, DSPs and microprocessors.
