Low cost 16-bit ADC
LINEAR Technology, represented by Soanar, has introduced the LTC2439-1, an 8-channel, differential input, low cost 16-bit analogue-to-digital converter with a proprietary No Latency Delta-Sigma architecture that allows single-cycle settling time.

The digital filter always settles in one conversion cycle even after a change in multiplexer input channels. Transparent auto calibration ensures stable output codes independent of time, temperature, supply and channel selection.
The LTC2439-1 is ideal for products such as temperature or pressure sensors, process control equipment, or other applications that demand precise measurement of several inputs.
It combines high accuracy with all around ease of use. A wide common mode input range greatly simplifies analog front-end circuitry. An accurate internal oscillator eliminates external crystals or clocks simplifying design and saving board space.
The LTC2439-1 simultaneously rejects 50Hz and 60Hz line frequencies, allowing direct connection to most sensors. The reference voltage can range from 0.1V to Vcc, maintaining 16-bit performance and providing flexibility in ratiometric and remote sensing applications. All of these benefits reduce design time and get product to market faster.
It operates from a wide 2.7V to 5.5V supply range, and consumes just 200µA of supply current during conversion and 2µA during shutdown. Available in the 28-pin SSOP package in both commercial and industrial temperature ranges, the LTC2439-1 is pin-compatible with the 24-bit LTC2418.
