LTC1098/LTC1098L
TYPICAL APPLICATION
A/D Conversion for 3V Systems
The LTC1096/LTC1098 are ideal for 3V systems. Figure
17 shows a 3V to 6V battery current monitor that draws
only 70μA from the battery it monitors. The battery cur-
rent is sensed with the 0.02Ω resistor and amplified by
the LT1178. The LTC1096 digitizes the amplifier output
and sends it to the microprocessor in serial format. The
LT1004 provides the full-scale reference for the ADC. The
other half of the LTC1178 is used to provide low battery
detection. The circuit’s 70μA supply current is dominated
by the op amps and the reference. The circuit can be
located near the battery and data transmitted serially to
the microprocessor.
