Product details
Overview
LTC2418IGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-channel (8-differential), 24-bit no-latency delta-sigma ADC with integrated oscillator, 2 ppm INL, 0.2 ppm RMS noise, and single-cycle settling. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and supports flexible ratiometric sensing via 0.1V–VCC differential reference input - ideal for high-precision industrial weight scales and strain gauge transducers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2418IGN#PBF datasheet, LTC2418IGN#PBF pinout, LTC2418IGN#PBF application, or LTC2418IGN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 110 dB 50/60 Hz notch rejection, ±0.5·VREF bipolar input range, GND-to-VCC common-mode flexibility, 200 µA active supply current, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire interface.
Technical Context
The LTC2418IGN#PBF implements a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and on-chip autocalibration that performs offset and full-scale correction in every conversion cycle. Its digital filter achieves first nulls at 50 Hz (FO = VCC) or 60 Hz (FO = GND), or user-defined frequencies when driven by external oscillator (fEOSC/2560).
It supports dual operation modes: internal SCK output (SCK pin driven) or external SCK input (SCK pin clocked), selected automatically at power-up or CS falling edge. Channel selection is dynamically updated via SDI during data output, enabling real-time multiplexer reconfiguration without interrupting conversion flow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and unambiguous code mapping across full input range. |
| INL | 2 ppm of VREF - ensures ≤±0.0002% linearity error over temperature, critical for metrology-grade measurements. |
| RMS Noise | 0.2 ppm of VREF - enables sub-microvolt resolution in low-frequency sensor applications (e.g., thermocouples, load cells). |
| Supply Current | 200 µA in conversion mode, 4 µA in autosleep - supports battery-powered portable instrumentation with long runtime. |
| Input Range | ±0.5·VREF bipolar differential - allows direct digitization of bridge outputs without external gain/level-shift circuitry. |
| Common-Mode Range | GND to VCC for both inputs and reference - simplifies interfacing with sensors operating at arbitrary bias points. |
| Notch Rejection | ≥110 dB at 50 Hz or 60 Hz ±2% - eliminates mains interference without external filtering or software post-processing. |
Pinout & Package
28-lead plastic SSOP (GN package), RoHS-compliant, –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH15 (Pins 1–8, 21–28) | Analog multiplexer inputs | Support 16 single-ended or 8 differential channels; CH8–CH15 unconnected on LTC2414 only - fully functional on LTC2418IGN#PBF. |
| COM (Pin 10) | Common negative input | Serves as IN– for all single-ended configurations; voltage range extends beyond rails (GND–0.3V to VCC+0.3V). |
| REF+, REF– (Pins 11, 12) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1V–VCC differential reference; enable true ratiometric measurement and remote sensing. |
| FO (Pin 19) | Frequency control input | Selects 50 Hz (FO=VCC), 60 Hz (FO=GND), or custom notch (external fEOSC) - no external components required. |
| CS (Pin 16) | Active-low chip select | Wakes device from sleep (CS=LOW); aborts data transfer and triggers new conversion if pulled HIGH mid-transfer. |
| SDO, SCK, SDI (Pins 17, 18, 20) | 4-wire serial interface | SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible; SCK bidirectional (input/output depending on mode); SDO three-state with status indication during sleep. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency digital filter | Single-cycle settling ensures each output corresponds directly to its input sample - eliminates timing uncertainty in multiplexed systems. |
| Per-conversion autocalibration | Continuous offset and full-scale correction removes drift due to temperature, supply variation, and aging - no manual recalibration needed. |
| Flexible reference architecture | Differential REF+ and REF– accept any 0.1V–VCC span and independent common-mode voltages - enables direct connection to Wheatstone bridges and isolated sensors. |
| Ultra-low power sleep mode | 4 µA quiescent current with conversion result retained indefinitely in static shift register - ideal for event-triggered sensing. |
| DC common-mode rejection | Better than 140 dB - rejects errors from ground offsets, PCB leakage, and mismatched trace impedances in high-impedance sensor interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 24-bit multichannel delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1256IDBT | 8-channel, 24-bit, 30 kSPS; requires external crystal; 7 nV/√Hz noise; no built-in 50/60 Hz notch. | Higher speed but lacks integrated line-frequency rejection - demands external digital filtering or synchronous sampling. | Choose ADS1256IDBT when system clock is already available and higher throughput (>10 SPS) is required. |
| MAX11206ETJ+ | 8-channel, 24-bit, 120 SPS; internal oscillator; 0.5 µVRMS noise; 105 dB 50/60 Hz rejection. | Lower channel count (8 vs 16) and reduced notch depth - less effective in high-noise industrial environments. | Choose MAX11206ETJ+ for space-constrained designs where 8 channels suffice and lower cost is prioritized. |
Compared with ADS1256IDBT and MAX11206ETJ+, the LTC2418IGN#PBF uniquely delivers 16-channel capability, 110 dB line-frequency rejection without external components, and per-conversion autocalibration - making it optimal for metrology-grade, low-power, multi-sensor systems where long-term accuracy and design simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of analog input channels supported by the LTC2418IGN#PBF?
The LTC2418IGN#PBF supports up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels. Pins CH0–CH15 are fully connected and functional, distinguishing it from the pin-compatible LTC2414 which disables CH8–CH15. This 16-channel capability enables dense sensor array digitization without external multiplexers.
Does the LTC2418IGN#PBF require external passive components for its internal oscillator to operate?
No, the LTC2418IGN#PBF requires no external frequency-setting components for its internal oscillator. The oscillator is fully integrated and self-contained; connecting FO to VCC or GND configures 50 Hz or 60 Hz notch rejection respectively - eliminating crystals, capacitors, or resistors traditionally needed for precision timing.
How does the LTC2418IGN#PBF achieve 110 dB 50/60 Hz rejection without external filters?
The LTC2418IGN#PBF achieves ≥110 dB 50/60 Hz rejection through its on-chip decimating FIR filter synchronized to its highly stable internal oscillator. When FO is tied to VCC or GND, the digital filter's first null is precisely placed at 50 Hz or 60 Hz ±2%, rejecting mains interference inherently - no external analog or digital filtering is required.
Can the LTC2418IGN#PBF interface directly with a 0.5 V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2418IGN#PBF accepts differential reference voltages from 0.1 V to VCC, so a 0.5 V reference is fully supported. With VREF = 0.5 V, the full-scale bipolar input range becomes ±0.25 V, and the 0.2 ppm RMS noise translates to ~1 nVRMS - enabling ultra-low-voltage sensor digitization with exceptional dynamic range.
What is the function of the COM pin on the LTC2418IGN#PBF, and how does it differ from GND?
The COM pin on the LTC2418IGN#PBF serves as the common negative input (IN–) for all single-ended channel configurations. Unlike GND, COM can be biased anywhere between GND–0.3 V and VCC+0.3 V, allowing direct interface with sensors whose output common-mode voltage differs from system ground - such as isolated bridge circuits or floating thermocouples.
