Product details
Overview
LTC2422IMS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2-channel, 20-bit micropower delta-sigma ADC in MSOP-10 package, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. It delivers 8ppm INL, 1.2ppm RMS noise, and no-latency digital filtering with single-cycle settling-enabling precise, real-time digitization of low-frequency sensor signals such as strain gauge outputs or thermocouple voltages.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2422IMS#PBF datasheet, LTC2422IMS#PBF pinout, LTC2422IMS#PBF application, or LTC2422IMS#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed 2-channel pseudo-differential bridge digitizer use cases, and two field-tested alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LTC2422IMS#PBF implements a proprietary no-latency ∆Σ architecture with an integrated decimating FIR filter that settles fully within one conversion cycle-eliminating traditional settling delays in multiplexed sensor systems. Its internal oscillator supports automatic 50Hz or 60Hz ±2% notch rejection without external components.
It accepts user-defined reference voltage (0.1V to VCC) and features extended input range from –12.5% VREF to +112.5% VREF (VREF = FSSET – ZSSET), enabling seamless interfacing with offset-prone transducers and analog front-ends. Channel auto-selection (ping-pong) between CH0 and CH1 is built-in and requires no configuration registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 20-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity across full dynamic range for precision measurement integrity. |
| INL | 8 ppm of VREF max-ensures ≤±0.0008% full-scale linearity error in high-accuracy weight scale or instrumentation designs. |
| RMS Noise | 1.2 ppm of VREF-translates to ~6 µV RMS noise at 2.5V reference, supporting sub-microvolt signal resolution. |
| Supply Current | 200 µA typical in conversion mode-enables battery-powered portable data loggers with multi-week runtime. |
| Notch Rejection | ≥110 dB at 50Hz or 60Hz ±2%-rejects mains interference without external filtering in industrial environments. |
| Input Range | –0.125 × VREF to +1.125 × VREF-accommodates ±12.5% sensor overrange/underrange without clipping or recalibration. |
| Conversion Time | 130.9–136.2 ms (FO = GND); 157.0–163.4 ms (FO = VCC)-fixed deterministic timing simplifies synchronous system scheduling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (MS10), 3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stable conversion performance. |
| FSSET (Pin 2) | Full-scale reference input | Defines upper bound of input range; when VIN = FSSET, output = FFFFFH (20-bit full scale). |
| CH1 (Pin 3) | Channel 1 analog input | Pseudo-differential input; used alternately with CH0 in automatic ping-pong mode for dual-sensor monitoring. |
| CH0 (Pin 4) | Channel 0 analog input | Pseudo-differential input; primary channel for first conversion; automatically selected before CH1 in LTC2422 sequence. |
| ZSSET (Pin 5) | Zero-scale reference input | Defines lower bound of input range; when VIN = ZSSET, output = 00000H (zero scale); VREF = FSSET – ZSSET. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Common ground reference | Single-point analog/digital/reference ground connection; must tie directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| CS (Pin 7) | Active-low chip select | Wakes device from sleep (CS = LOW); enables SDO output; HIGH forces auto-shutdown (20 µA sleep current). |
| SDO (Pin 8) | 3-state serial data output | 24-bit output stream (4 status + 20 data bits); EOC bit (bit 23) available immediately on CS assertion for interrupt-driven MCU polling. |
| SCK (Pin 9) | Bidirectional serial clock | Auto-configured as output (internal clock mode) or input (external clock mode) based on power-up state and CS edge timing. |
| FO (Pin 10) | Frequency control input | Selects internal oscillator mode: GND = 60Hz notch, VCC = 50Hz notch, or external clock (2.56–307.2 kHz) for custom rejection frequency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency ∆Σ architecture | Digital filter settles in one conversion cycle-enables true real-time sampling of rapidly changing sensor outputs without data delay or buffer management. |
| Automatic channel ping-pong | Hardware-managed alternating conversion between CH0 and CH1-eliminates software sequencing overhead in dual-transducer systems. |
| Live zero extended input range | –12.5% to +112.5% VREF range-absorbs gain/offset drift from upstream op-amps or sensor nonlinearity without firmware compensation. |
| On-chip auto-calibration | Offset and full-scale calibration performed every conversion-maintains <0.5 ppm offset drift and <4 ppm full-scale drift over temperature and time. |
| Flexible serial interface | 2- or 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible protocol with optional 8-bit padding for drop-in replacement of LTC2402-reduces PCB redesign effort. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 20-bit micropower ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2422CMS#PBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated for 0°C to 70°C (vs. –40°C to 85°C for IMS grade). | Suitable for commercial-grade instrumentation where extended temperature range is unnecessary. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs industrial temperature requirements and board space allows same MSOP-10 footprint. |
| ADS124S08IPWR | 24-bit, 4-kSPS, integrated PGA and burnout current sources; requires external reference; no built-in 50/60Hz notch. | Better resolution and integrated signal conditioning, but lacks autonomous line-frequency rejection and consumes >300 µA. | Choose when higher resolution and programmable gain are critical, and system-level digital filtering can replace hardware notch rejection. |
Compared with LTC2422IMS#PBF, LTC2422CMS#PBF offers identical performance at lower cost in benign environments, while ADS124S08IPWR trades autonomous noise rejection and ultra-low power for higher resolution and on-chip analog front-end features-requiring additional design effort for line-frequency suppression.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2422IMS#PBF?
The LTC2422IMS#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial environments including factory automation, outdoor instrumentation, and automotive under-hood sensing applications. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies across all electrical specifications unless otherwise noted.
Does the LTC2422IMS#PBF require external passive components for its internal oscillator?
No, the LTC2422IMS#PBF requires no external components for its internal oscillator. The FO pin selects between 50Hz (FO = VCC) or 60Hz (FO = GND) notch modes, and the oscillator operates autonomously-eliminating crystals, capacitors, or resistors typically needed for timing stability in competing ADCs.
How does the LTC2422IMS#PBF handle input signals outside the normal 0–VREF range?
The LTC2422IMS#PBF supports an extended input range from –12.5% VREF to +112.5% VREF. Inputs beyond this range are clamped-not damaged-and produce corresponding saturated codes (e.g., FFFFFH for overrange). This accommodates sensor offset drift or amplifier saturation without corrupting downstream data integrity.
Can the LTC2422IMS#PBF be used as a drop-in replacement for the LTC2402?
Yes, the LTC2422IMS#PBF is pin compatible with the LTC2402 and maintains identical timing for the first 24 bits. Though its native output is 24-bit (vs. 32-bit for LTC2402), adding 8 dummy clock pulses yields 32-bit output with last 8 bits always HIGH-enabling hardware-level drop-in replacement without PCB changes.
What is the reference voltage range supported by the LTC2422IMS#PBF?
The LTC2422IMS#PBF accepts a reference voltage (VREF = FSSET – ZSSET) from 0.1V up to VCC. The recommended minimum is 100mV to ensure adequate SNR; performance degrades below this due to fixed input-referred noise, though INL improves slightly at lower references.
