Linear Technology AN8 Power Conditioning Techniques for Batteries Application Note
The document discusses the necessity of power conditioning when applying battery voltages to circuitry, noting that standard IC regulators often consume too much quiescent current or cannot operate at low input voltages. It covers general classes of regulators including voltage inverters, step-down circuits, and step-up converters.

What is the maximum conversion rate for the LTC2400?
The maximum conversion rate for this particular part is 15Hz (with 120Hz rejection).
Is a PGA required with the LTC2400?
No, a PGA is not required with the LTC2400 because it enables direct digitizing of low level signals over a wide input range.
What accuracy range do monolithic reference initial accuracies typically cover?
Monolithic reference initial accuracy ranges from 0.02% to 1%, representing a 1LSB error in systems ranging from 6-bit to 12-bit.
