LTC1657/LTC1657L
TYPICAL APPLICATIO S
This circuit shows how to measure negative offset. Since
LTC1657/LTC1657L operate on a single supply, if their
offset is negative, the output for code 0 limits at 0V. To
measure this negative offset, a negative supply is needed,
connect resistor R1 as shown in the figure. The output
voltage is the offset when code 0 is loaded in.

Although LTC1657 output is up to 4.096V with its internal
reference, higher voltages can be achieved with the help of
another op amp. The following circuit shows how to
increase the output swing of LTC1657 by using an LT1218.
As shown in the configuration, the output of LTC1657 is
amplified by 8 for an output swing of 0V to 32.768V, or a
convenient 0.5mV/LSB.
