The ADS1282 is a really cool part! After studying the ADS1282
datasheet is appears that *at best* it can achieve 130dB SNR which, by
my calculations is effectively 21.3 bits - by the formula
SNR=(6.02N+1.786)dB.

This got me thinking, are there any higher performing "24 bit" ADCs we
should look at for our "nuttery". One that I found is the Linear
LTC2440 (and others in the family). It claims, at its highest
resolution, 24.6 effective bits. That said, I am having trouble
comparing SNR directly. I need to read more to understand how to
convert its noise spec - 200nV RMS noise - to a SNR dB figure.
