Product details
Overview
LTC2412CGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2-channel, 24-bit no-latency delta-sigma ADC with integrated oscillator, 2 ppm INL, 0.16 ppm RMS noise, and differential input/reference support across GND to VCC common-mode range. It delivers 110 dB line-frequency rejection at 50/60 Hz and operates from 2.7V to 5.5V - ideal for precision weight scales and strain-gage transducer interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2412CGN#PBF datasheet, LTC2412CGN#PBF pinout, LTC2412CGN#PBF application, or LTC2412CGN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel ping-pong conversion architecture, internal notch filter configurability via FO pin, 200 µA active / 4 µA autosleep current, SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire interface, and SSOP-16 package with five ground pins for low-noise layout.
Technical Context
The LTC2412CGN#PBF employs a third-order ∆Σ modulator with decimating FIR filter and on-chip autocalibration that performs offset and full-scale correction every conversion cycle. Its digital filter settles in a single cycle, eliminating latency and ensuring each output corresponds precisely to the just-completed conversion.
Channel selection is automatic and alternating (CH0/CH1 ping-pong), with channel ID embedded in the 32-bit output word. The FO pin selects internal 50 Hz (FO = VCC) or 60 Hz (FO = GND) notch filtering, or enables external clocking (fEOSC = 2.56–500 kHz) for user-defined rejection frequencies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization in high-precision measurement. |
| INL | 2 ppm of VREF - ensures sub-1 LSB error over full scale at 24-bit resolution, critical for 6½-digit DVMs. |
| RMS Noise | 0.16 ppm (0.8 µVRMS at 5V reference) - enables 22.5 ENOB and stable 24-bit effective resolution in low-drift applications. |
| Supply Current | 200 µA active, 4 µA autosleep - supports battery-powered instrumentation with minimal power budget impact. |
| Input Range | ±0.5 × VREF differential, with independent VINCM and VREFCM from GND to VCC - allows ratiometric sensing and remote sensor excitation without level-shifting. |
| Line Rejection | ≥110 dB at 50/60 Hz ±2% - eliminates mains interference in industrial environments without external filtering. |
| Reference Range | 0.1 V to VCC - supports flexible scaling from low-voltage sensors to full-supply references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic SSOP (GN), 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range, with five dedicated ground pins (Pins 8, 9, 10, 15, 16) for optimal analog grounding and supply decoupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass close to pin for stable low-noise performance. |
| REF+ / REF– (Pins 2, 3) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1V–VCC differential voltage; enable ratiometric measurements and eliminate reference drift coupling. |
| CH0+, CH0– (Pins 4, 5) | Channel 0 differential analog inputs | Support bipolar input range ±0.5×VREF; common-mode voltage independently set from GND to VCC. |
| CH1+, CH1– (Pins 6, 7) | Channel 1 differential analog inputs | Identical specs to CH0; alternated automatically with CH0 for seamless dual-sensor monitoring. |
| GND (Pins 8, 9, 10, 15, 16) | Analog/digital ground return | Five internally connected pins minimize ground impedance and reduce noise coupling between analog and digital sections. |
| CS (Pin 11) | Active-low chip select | Wakes device from sleep (4 µA) into data output mode; aborting transfer by pulling high restarts conversion immediately. |
| SDO (Pin 12) | Three-state serial data output | Outputs 32-bit conversion result (including channel ID and sign); high-Z when CS = HIGH for bus sharing. |
| SCK (Pin 13) | Bidirectional serial clock | Auto-configures as output (internal SCK mode) or input (external SCK mode) based on power-up state or CS edge. |
| FO (Pin 14) | Frequency control input | Selects 50 Hz (FO = VCC), 60 Hz (FO = GND), or external clock (FO = fEOSC) for programmable notch filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency conversion | Digital filter settles in one cycle - output data corresponds exactly to the completed conversion, enabling real-time closed-loop control. |
| Automatic channel ping-pong | Alternates between CH0 and CH1 without software intervention; channel ID included in output word simplifies multi-sensor firmware. |
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates external crystals/capacitors - reduces BOM count and PCB area while guaranteeing precise 50/60 Hz rejection. |
| DC common-mode rejection | >140 dB - rejects ground offsets and sensor common-mode drift, critical for bridge-based transducers. |
| Flexible reference interface | Supports any VREF from 0.1V to VCC with independent VREFCM - enables direct connection to low-voltage references or sensor excitation outputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 24-bit delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPWR | 24-bit, 4-kSPS, integrated PGA and temperature sensor; SPI-only interface; 2.5–5.5V supply; 350 µA active current. | Includes programmable gain amplifier and internal temperature diode - suited for single-ended sensors and embedded diagnostics, but lacks dual-differential channels and FO-configurable notch. | Select when system requires on-chip signal conditioning and temperature monitoring; avoid when strict 2-channel ping-pong or 50/60 Hz rejection is mandatory. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 24-bit, 10 SPS, internal oscillator, 1.2 µA sleep current; SPI interface; 2.7–3.6V supply only; 16-pin TQFN. | Ultra-low sleep current and narrower supply range - optimized for energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications, but lacks 5.5V tolerance and SSOP package compatibility. | Select for ultra-low-power portable designs with 3.3V-only rails; avoid when 5V operation, 2.7–5.5V flexibility, or SSOP footprint is required. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPWR and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2412CGN#PBF uniquely combines dual differential channels with FO-selectable 50/60 Hz notch filtering, 2.7–5.5V operation, and SSOP-16 packaging - making it optimal for industrial weigh scales and bridge-based transducer systems requiring robust line-frequency immunity and layout simplicity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2412CGN#PBF?
The LTC2412CGN#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix in its part number. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all electrical specifications unless otherwise noted in the datasheet. The LTC2412IGN#PBF variant extends this to –40°C to 85°C.
How does the FO pin configure the LTC2412CGN#PBF's notch filter?
The FO pin on the LTC2412CGN#PBF selects the first null frequency of its digital filter: tying FO to VCC configures 50 Hz rejection, tying FO to GND configures 60 Hz rejection, and driving FO with an external clock (fEOSC) sets rejection at fEOSC/2560. This configuration is active during conversion and requires no register writes - the LTC2412CGN#PBF uses the FO state at power-up or after CS falling edge.
Does the LTC2412CGN#PBF require external components for its oscillator?
No, the LTC2412CGN#PBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external crystals, capacitors, or resistors to achieve specified 50/60 Hz line-frequency rejection. The oscillator is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated, delivering stable timing across the full 0°C to 70°C range without calibration - a key advantage over discrete oscillator solutions.
What is the function of the five GND pins on the LTC2412CGN#PBF SSOP package?
The five GND pins (Pins 8, 9, 10, 15, 16) on the LTC2412CGN#PBF are internally connected and provide low-impedance return paths for analog, digital, and supply currents. They minimize ground bounce, reduce noise coupling between sections, and improve PSRR - especially critical for 24-bit resolution. All five must be soldered to a solid ground plane for specified INL, noise, and rejection performance.
Can the LTC2412CGN#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller SPI bus?
Yes, the LTC2412CGN#PBF supports 2.7V–5.5V operation and its digital I/O levels (VIH/VIL) are compatible with 3.3V logic: VIH ≥ 2.0V (for VCC = 2.7–3.3V) and VIL ≤ 0.6V ensure reliable communication with standard 3.3V MCUs. The SDO output drives VOH ≥ VCC – 0.5V and VOL ≤ 0.4V, meeting SPI voltage thresholds without level shifters.
