Product details
Overview
LTC2431IMS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 20-bit no-latency delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with differential input and reference, 3ppm INL, 0.56ppm RMS noise, and integrated oscillator for 50Hz/60Hz notch filtering. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, draws only 200µA during conversion, and supports ratiometric sensor digitization in industrial instrumentation and precision weighing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2431IMS#PBF datasheet, LTC2431IMS#PBF pinout, LTC2431IMS#PBF application, or LTC2431IMS#PBF equivalent, this device delivers single-cycle settling, ±0.5VREF input range, GND-to-VCC common-mode flexibility, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire interface - critical for low-drift, high-rejection DC measurement designs.
Technical Context
The LTC2431IMS#PBF implements a decimating FIR filter with internal oscillator-based clocking, enabling precise 50Hz or 60Hz line-frequency rejection without external components. Its auto-calibration engine performs offset and full-scale correction every conversion cycle, ensuring stability over temperature and supply voltage variation.
It uses a true differential front-end where both input (IN+/IN–) and reference (REF+/REF–) common-mode voltages are independently configurable from GND to VCC, supporting remote sensing and floating transducer interfaces. The FO pin selects internal 50Hz/60Hz nulls or accepts external clock for user-defined rejection frequencies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 20-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and unambiguous digital representation across full scale. |
| INL | 3ppm of VREF - enables sub-10ppm system-level accuracy in precision bridge sensor applications. |
| RMS Noise | 0.56ppm of VREF (2.8µVRMS at 5V reference) - supports >20.8 ENOB for high-fidelity DC measurements. |
| Supply Current | 200µA in conversion mode, 4µA in autosleep - allows battery-powered operation with duty-cycled wake-up. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 120dB DC, 140dB at 50/60Hz - rejects ground shifts and power-line interference in noisy industrial environments. |
| Input Range | ±0.5VREF differential, with IN+/IN– common mode from GND–0.3V to VCC+0.3V - accommodates wide-range transducer outputs and level-shifting circuits. |
| Reference Range | 0.1V to VCC differential, REF+/REF– common mode from GND to VCC - enables flexible ratiometric or isolated reference configurations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic SSOP (Small Outline Package), 0.150" body width, exposed pad not present. Pin pitch: 0.025", footprint compliant with JEDEC MS-013AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16) | Ground reference and return path | Seven dedicated ground pins minimize ground impedance and improve PSRR; all must be connected to PCB ground plane. |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Positive supply input | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stable conversion performance. |
| REF+ / REF– (Pins 3, 4) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1V–VCC differential voltage; common-mode range spans GND to VCC - supports remote or floating references. |
| IN+ / IN– (Pins 5, 6) | Differential analog inputs | Support ±0.5VREF full-scale range; absolute voltage range extends beyond supply rails (GND–0.3V to VCC+0.3V). |
| CS (Pin 11) | Active-low chip select | Wakes ADC from sleep (4µA) into conversion mode; controls SDO output enable and aborts ongoing data transfer if raised mid-read. |
| SDO (Pin 12) | Three-state serial data output | Outputs 24-bit conversion result; floats to Hi-Z when CS = HIGH; serves as conversion status indicator during Sleep/Convert states. |
| SCK (Pin 13) | Bidirectional serial clock | Functions as output (internal clock mode) or input (external clock mode); mode auto-selected at power-up or CS falling edge. |
| FO (Pin 14) | Frequency control input | Selects internal 50Hz (FO = VCC) or 60Hz (FO = GND) notch; or accepts external fEOSC for custom rejection at fEOSC/2560. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No latency conversion | Digital filter settles in one cycle - each 24-bit output corresponds exactly to the most recent analog sample, enabling true multiplexed sensor acquisition. |
| Per-conversion auto-calibration | Continuous offset and full-scale correction eliminates drift-related errors over time, temperature, and supply variation without interrupting operation. |
| Configurable 50/60Hz rejection | Single-pin FO selection enables >110dB line-frequency rejection without external filters or software compensation - critical for AC-coupled industrial sites. |
| True differential input & reference | Independent GND-to-VCC common-mode ranges on IN+/IN– and REF+/REF– allow direct connection to unbuffered strain gauges, RTDs, and isolated signal sources. |
| Low-power sleep mode | 4µA quiescent current with indefinite result retention in static shift register - ideal for microcontroller-driven intermittent sampling architectures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPWR | 24-bit resolution, 2.5V internal reference, fixed 50/60Hz rejection, SPI-only interface, no FO pin configuration | Requires external reference buffering for ratiometric sensors; lacks independent REF+/REF– common-mode flexibility | Preferred when higher resolution is mandatory and system-level calibration can compensate for reduced common-mode range. |
| LTC2440CGN#PBF | 24-bit resolution, 110dB 50/60Hz rejection, 16-pin SOIC package, higher supply current (350µA) | Same pin-compatible family but larger package and no 16-lead SSOP option; lacks autosleep mode | Selected when legacy board layout compatibility with LTC24xx GN package is required and sleep current is non-critical. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPWR and LTC2440CGN#PBF, the LTC2431IMS#PBF uniquely combines 20-bit precision with 4µA autosleep, seven-ground-pin SSOP packaging, and fully independent GND-to-VCC common-mode support on both input and reference - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware, and floating-sensor applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2431IMS#PBF?
The LTC2431IMS#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation (industrial grade). This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all electrical specifications unless otherwise noted. The "I" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the industrial temperature grade, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade "C" variant (0°C to 70°C).
Does the LTC2431IMS#PBF require external passive components for its internal oscillator?
No, the LTC2431IMS#PBF requires no external components for oscillator operation. Its integrated oscillator generates precise timing for the delta-sigma modulator and digital filter, enabling guaranteed 110dB minimum 50Hz/60Hz rejection without crystals, capacitors, or resistors - a key feature highlighted in the datasheet's "Features" and "Description" sections.
Can the LTC2431IMS#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller SPI bus?
Yes, the LTC2431IMS#PBF supports 3.3V logic levels: VIH is specified at 2.0V (min) for VCC = 2.7V–3.3V, and VOL is 0.4V (max) at 1.6mA sink. Its SDO output is three-state and compatible with standard SPI clock/data timing - confirmed by timing parameters tKQMAX (220ns), tKQMIN (15ns), and tDOUT_ISCK (1.22–1.28ms) in the datasheet.
How does the FO pin affect conversion time in the LTC2431IMS#PBF?
When FO = GND, conversion time is 130.86–136.20ms (60Hz mode); when FO = VCC, it increases to 157.03–163.44ms (50Hz mode). These values are measured and guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table. External clock operation yields conversion time = 20510/fEOSC (kHz), allowing trade-offs between rejection frequency and throughput.
Is the LTC2431IMS#PBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LTC24xx family?
The LTC2431IMS#PBF shares the same 16-pin SSOP footprint and pin functions with the LTC2430IMS#PBF, but differs from the 10-pin MSOP variants (e.g., LTC2431CMS). It is explicitly noted as pin-compatible with the 24-bit LTC2410/LTC2411 in the datasheet's Features section - though resolution and noise performance differ, the physical layout and signal mapping align for drop-in replacement in certain layouts.
