Product details
Overview
LTC2305IDE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2-channel, 12-bit successive approximation ADC with I²C-compatible serial interface, internal 2.5V reference and fully differential sample-and-hold. It delivers 73.5dB SNR, ±0.4 LSB integral nonlinearity, and 14ksps throughput on a single 5V supply - enabling precision sensor digitization in space-constrained industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2305IDE#PBF datasheet, LTC2305IDE#PBF pinout, LTC2305IDE#PBF application, or LTC2305IDE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input range, guaranteed no missing codes over –40°C to 85°C, low 300μA active current at 1ksps, and I²C address flexibility via AD0/AD1 pins.
Technical Context
The LTC2305IDE#PBF implements a capacitive charge-redistribution SAR architecture with internal conversion clock, achieving 1.3μs conversion time and 240ns acquisition time. Its analog input multiplexer supports per-conversion reconfiguration of CH0/CH1 as single-ended or differential pairs using S/D and O/S bits in the 6-bit DIN word.
It integrates a 2.5V reference (±25ppm/°C tempco) and 4.096V buffered REFCOMP output, both requiring external bypassing (2.2μF and 10μF/0.1μF respectively). The I²C interface operates up to 400kHz with Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA inputs and open-drain SDA output requiring pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonic transfer function for control-loop stability. |
| Throughput Rate | 14ksps maximum - supports real-time sampling of motor current or vibration signals up to 7kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 73.5dB at 1kHz input - enables >11.9 effective bits for high-fidelity sensor data acquisition. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±0.4 LSB (typ), ±1 LSB (max) - limits absolute measurement error to <0.025% FS across full temperature range. |
| Supply Current | 300μA at 1ksps; 225μA in nap mode - extends battery life in portable instrumentation without sacrificing responsiveness. |
| I²C Address Options | 9 unique addresses + global sync via AD0/AD1 three-state pins - allows daisy-chaining up to 9 devices on same bus. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor drives and power supply monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 13 = GND). Requires soldering exposed pad to solid ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 4, 9) | Ground reference | All must connect to low-impedance ground plane; Pin 13 (exposed pad) is mandatory GND connection for thermal dissipation. |
| SDA (Pin 2) | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain output during read (requires pull-up); high-impedance input during write - enables shared bus operation. |
| SCL (Pin 3) | I²C clock input | Slave-only interface; data latched on rising edge, shifted out on falling edge - compatible with standard I²C controllers. |
| CH0 (Pin 5), CH1 (Pin 6) | Analog input channels | Software-selectable single-ended (vs GND) or differential pair; simultaneous sampling eliminates channel skew. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.5V internal reference output | Bypass with ≥2.2μF ceramic capacitor; can be overdriven by external 2.5V source for improved accuracy. |
| REFCOMP (Pin 8) | 4.096V reference buffer output | Bypass with 10μF + 0.1μF ceramics; disabled when VREF grounded - enables external reference substitution. |
| VDD (Pin 10) | 5V analog supply | 4.75V–5.25V range; bypass with 10μF + 0.1μF ceramics - powers analog core and reference circuitry. |
| AD0, AD1 (Pins 12, 11) | I²C address configuration | Three-state (LOW/HIGH/floating) pins set device address; floating state requires ≤10pF capacitance for valid float. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel flexible input topology | CH0/CH1 configurable per conversion as single-ended or differential - eliminates need for external MUX in multi-sensor systems. |
| Internal reference with buffer | 2.5V reference (±25ppm/°C) + 4.096V REFCOMP buffer - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs discrete reference solutions. |
| Low-power nap/sleep modes | 300μA active current at 1ksps; 225μA nap mode; 7μA sleep mode - enables energy-efficient wake-on-event architectures. |
| Guaranteed operation over temperature | Specified from –40°C to +85°C with full parameter validation - suitable for industrial control without derating. |
| I²C address scalability | 9 unique addresses plus global sync command - simplifies firmware development in multi-ADC sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit I²C ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | Single-channel, SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external 2.5V ref and level-shifting for 5V systems. | Limited to single-sensor nodes; lacks I²C address flexibility and dual-channel synchronization. | Select when SPI host interface exists and board space allows external reference; avoid for multi-sensor I²C networks. |
| MAX11612EEE+ | 2-channel, I²C, internal reference, but only 10-bit resolution and 12ksps max throughput - lower DC accuracy and dynamic range. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-precision applications like basic voltage monitoring. | Choose for budget-limited designs where 10-bit resolution suffices and 73.5dB SNR is not required. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11612EEE+, the LTC2305IDE#PBF provides superior 12-bit linearity, higher 14ksps throughput, and integrated I²C addressing - making it optimal for industrial sensor fusion where channel synchronization, noise floor, and bus scalability are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2305IDE#PBF?
The LTC2305IDE#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, with all key specifications-including INL, SNR, and throughput-guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range. This makes the LTC2305IDE#PBF suitable for deployment in motor drives, outdoor instrumentation, and factory automation equipment without thermal derating.
Does the LTC2305IDE#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2305IDE#PBF includes a fully specified internal 2.5V reference (±25ppm/°C) and buffered 4.096V REFCOMP output. External references are optional: VREF can be overdriven with a precision 2.5V source, and REFCOMP can be disabled by grounding VREF to accept an external 4.096V reference - but neither is required for basic operation.
How many I²C addresses does the LTC2305IDE#PBF support?
The LTC2305IDE#PBF supports nine unique I²C addresses determined by the logic states (LOW/HIGH/floating) of AD0 and AD1 pins, plus one global address for synchronized conversions across multiple devices. This enables up to nine LTC2305IDE#PBF units on a single I²C bus without address conflict.
Can the LTC2305IDE#PBF measure both unipolar and bipolar signals?
Yes, the LTC2305IDE#PBF supports software-selectable unipolar (0V to 4.096V) and bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges via the UNI bit in its 6-bit DIN configuration word. This allows direct digitization of AC-coupled sensor outputs or DC-biased transducer signals without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full 12-bit accuracy with the LTC2305IDE#PBF?
The LTC2305IDE#PBF specifies a typical acquisition time (tACQ) of 240ns, which is the minimum time needed after the start of conversion for the internal sample-and-hold to settle to 12-bit accuracy. This value is guaranteed over temperature and applies to both unipolar and bipolar modes when driving from low-impedance sources.
