  “Easy Drive” Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters
  Cancel Input Current Errors – Design Note 368
  Mike Mayes
  Introduction
  It is now possible to place large RC networks directly in front of high resolution ∆Σ analog-to-digital
  converters without degrading their DC accuracy
  (see Figure 1). The LTC В®248x family of converters
  solves this problem with Easy Driveв„ў technology,
  a fully passive sampling network that automatically
  cancels the differential input current. Easy Drive
  technology does not use on-chip buffers, which
  compromise performance (see What is Wrong with
  On-Chip Buffers?), but instead uses a new architecture
  that maintains 0.002% full-scale error with input RC
  networks up to 100kО© and 10ОјF. This new technology
  offers many advantages over previous generation ∆Σ
  ADCs: Rail-to-rail common mode input range Direct digitization of high impedance sensors Elimination of sampling spikes seen at the ADC input
  pins Simple external lowpass filtering Noise/power reduction Cancellation of external RC settling errors Easy interface to external amplifiers Removal of transmission line effects for remote
  sensors

  High Impedance Sensors – Design Note 379
  Mark Thoren
  Delta-sigma ADCs, with their high accuracy and high noise
  immunity, are ideal for directly measuring many types
  of sensors. Nevertheless, input sampling currents can
  overwhelm high source impedances or low-bandwidth,
  micropower signal conditioning circuits. The LTCВ®2484
  family of delta sigma converters solves this problem by
  balancing the input currents, thus simplifying or eliminating the need for signal conditioning circuits.
  A common application for a delta-sigma ADC is thermistor
  measurement. Figure 1 shows the LTC2484 connections
  for direct measurement of thermistors up to 100kО©. Data
  I/O is through a standard SPI interface and the sampling
  current in each input is approximately:

  Delta Sigma ADCs are accurate and
