For correct converter operation, the REF + pin must always be more positive than the REF – pin. The LTC2414/LTC2418 can accept a differential reference voltage from 0.1V to VCC. The converter output noise is determined by the thermal noise of the front-end circuits, and, as such, its value in nanovolts is nearly constant with reference voltage.

LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO values for CREF will deteriorate the converter offset and gain performance without significant benefits of reference filtering and the user is advised to avoid them. Larger values of reference capacitors (CREF > 0.01µF) may be required as reference filters in certain configurations. Such capacitors will average the reference sampling charge and the external source resistance will see a quasi constant reference differential impedance.
LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO In addition to this gain error, the converter INL performance is degraded by the reference source impedance. When FO = LOW (internal oscillator and 60Hz notch), every 100Ω of source resistance driving REF+ or REF– translates into about 1.34ppm additional INL error. When FO = HIGH (internal oscillator and 50Hz notch), every 100Ω of source resistance driving REF+ or REF– translates into about 1.1ppm additional INL error.

Typical measured performance curves for output data rates up to 100 readings per second are shown in Figures 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30.

LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The combined normal mode rejection performance is shown in Figure 33 for the internal oscillator with 50Hz notch setting (FO = HIGH) and in Figure 34 for the internal oscillator with 60Hz notch setting (FO = LOW) and for the external oscillator mode. The regions of low rejection occurring at integer multiples of fS have a very narrow bandwidth.
LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Traditional high order delta-sigma modulators, while providing very good linearity and resolution, suffer from potential instabilities at large input signal levels. The proprietary architecture used for the LTC2414/LTC2418 third order modulator resolves this problem and guarantees a predictable stable behavior at input signal levels of up to 150% of full scale.
LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO BRIDGE APPLICATIONS Typical strain gauge based bridges deliver only 2mV/Volt of excitation. As the maximum reference voltage of the LTC2414/LTC2418 is 5V, remote sensing of applied excitation without additional circuitry requires that excitation be limited to 5V. This gives only 10mV full scale input signal, which can be resolved to 1 part in 10000 without averaging. For many solid state sensors, this is still better than the sensor.
LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO changes the rationale. Achieving high gain accuracy and linearity at higher gains may prove difficult, while providing little benefit in terms of noise reduction. The circuit in Figure 42 shows an example of a simple amplification scheme. This example produces a differential output with a common mode voltage of 2.5V, as determined by the bridge.
LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Remote Half Bridge Interface Figure 43 shows an example of a single amplifier used to produce single-ended gain. This topology is best used in applications where the gain setting resistor can be made to match the temperature coefficient of the strain gauges.
LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The basic circuit shown in Figure 44 shows connections for a full 4-wire connection to the sensor, which may be located remotely. The differential input connections will reject induced or coupled 60Hz interference, however, the reference inputs do not have the same rejection. If 60Hz or other noise is present on the reference input, a low pass filter is recommended as shown in Figure 45.
LTC2414/LTC2418 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The error associated with the 10V excitation would be –80ppm. Hence, overall reference error could be as high as 130ppm, the average of the two. is configured to provide 10V and –5V excitation to the bridge, producing a common mode voltage at the input to the LTC2414/LTC2418 of 2.5V, maximizing the AC input range for applications where induced 60Hz could reach amplitudes up to 2VRMS.
