Information furnished by Linear Technology Corporation is believed to be accurate and reliable.

These infrared thermocouples are self-contained: 1) they

do not require external cold junction compensation; 2)

they cannot use conventional open thermocouple detec-

tion schemes; and 3) their output impedances are high,

approximately 3k

Ω. Alternatively, conventional thermo-

couples can be connected directly to the LTC2408 (not

shown) and cold junction compensation can be provided

by an external temperature sensor connected to a different

channel (see the thermistor circuit on CH5) or by using the

LT1025, a monolithic cold-junction compensator IC.

The components connected to CH7 are used to sense

daylight or photodiode current with a resolution of 300pA.

In the figure, the photodiode is biased in photoconduc-

tive mode; however, the LTC2408 can accommodate

either photovoltaic or photoconductive configurations.

The photodiode chosen (Hammatsu S1336-5BK) pro-

duces an output of 500mA per watt of optical illumina-

tion. The output of the photodiode is dependent on two

factors: active detector area (2.4mm • 2.4mm) and

illumination intensity. With the 5k resistor, optical inten-

With a resolution of 300pA, the optical dynamic range

covers 6 orders of magnitude.

The application circuits shown connected to the LTC2408

demonstrate the mix-and-match capabilities of this multi-

plexed-input, high resolution

∆Σ ADC. Very low level

signals and high level signals can be accommodated with

a minimum of additional circuitry.
