Product details
Overview
LTC2436-1CGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2-channel differential input, micropower 16-bit No Latency ΔΣ analog-to-digital converter with integrated oscillator and 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE interface. It delivers 0.12LSB INL, 800nV RMS noise independent of VREF, and >87dB 50Hz/60Hz rejection. Used in precision weight scales and strain-gage transducers requiring stable ratiometric measurement at 2.7V–5.5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF datasheet, LTC2436-1CGN#PBF pinout, LTC2436-1CGN#PBF application, or LTC2436-1CGN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-cycle digital filter settling, automatic ping-pong channel selection, differential reference support down to 0.1V, and guaranteed no missing codes across temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC2436-1CGN#PBF employs a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filtering and on-chip autocalibration that performs offset and full-scale correction every conversion cycle. Its internal oscillator eliminates external timing components and enables simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz ±2% notch rejection when FO is grounded.
Operation uses a three-state cycle-conversion, sleep (4µA), and data output-with CS-controlled wake-up and 19-bit serial output (3 status + 16 data bits). The device supports both internal SCK (output mode) and external SCK (input mode), with timing fully defined for SPI-compatible microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and unambiguous code mapping across full input range. |
| INL | 0.12LSB max (5V VCC, 5V VREF)-ensures high linearity for precision sensor digitization without post-calibration. |
| Noise | 800nV RMS, independent of VREF-enables improved effective resolution at low reference voltages (e.g., 100mV). |
| Supply Current | 200µA active, 4µA autosleep-supports battery-powered instrumentation with minimal quiescent power impact. |
| Common Mode Rejection | >140dB DC-rejects ground shifts and supply coupling in remote-sensing configurations with wide VINCM/VREFCM range (GND to VCC). |
| Notch Rejection | 87dB min at 49Hz–61.2Hz-achieved via internal oscillator; configurable to alternate rejection frequency using external clock on FO pin. |
| Input Range | ±0.5 × VREF, VREF = 0.1V to VCC-supports flexible ratiometric measurement and direct thermocouple/bridge interfacing. |
Pinout & Package
Narrow SSOP-16 package (GN), RoHS-compliant, with five dedicated GND pins (Pins 8,9,10,15,16) for optimal noise immunity and decoupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| REF+ / REF– (Pins 2,3) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1V–VCC differential voltage; common-mode range extends GND to VCC independently. |
| CH0+/CH0– / CH1+/CH1– (Pins 4–7) | Differential analog inputs | Two independent channels; bipolar input range = ±0.5 × VREF; absolute range = GND−0.3V to VCC+0.3V. |
| GND (Pins 8,9,10,15,16) | Ground return | Five internally connected pins-must all be tied to low-impedance ground plane for EMI control and accuracy. |
| CS (Pin 11) | Active-low chip select | Wakes device from 4µA sleep; aborts data transfer if raised mid-output; initiates new conversion. |
| SDO (Pin 12) | 3-state serial data output | Outputs 19-bit frame (EOC/CH/SIG/16-bit result); high-Z when CS = HIGH; usable as conversion-complete interrupt. |
| SCK (Pin 13) | Bidirectional serial clock | Auto-configured at power-up: output in internal SCK mode, input in external SCK mode; weak pull-up enabled in output mode. |
| FO (Pin 14) | Frequency control input | Selects internal oscillator (FO = GND) for 50/60Hz rejection or external clock (fEOSC = 2.56–2000kHz) for custom notch frequency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No latency conversion | Digital filter settles in one cycle-output corresponds exactly to the just-completed conversion, enabling true real-time multiplexed sensing. |
| Automatic ping-pong channel selection | Alternates between CH0 and CH1 without software intervention; channel ID embedded in output status bits (Bit 17). |
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates crystals, capacitors, or external clocks for 50/60Hz rejection-reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| True differential reference and inputs | Independent GND-to-VCC common-mode ranges for REF and IN allow remote Kelvin sensing and reject supply-induced errors. |
| Autocalibration per conversion | Continuous offset and full-scale correction ensures stability over time, temperature (0°C–70°C), and supply variation-no user calibration required. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 4-channel, I²C interface, 16-bit, 860SPS max; no integrated oscillator; requires external clock or MCU timing. | Lacks simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection; better suited for multi-sensor polling vs. dual-channel continuous acquisition. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR for I²C-based systems needing more channels and simpler bus integration; avoid when line-frequency rejection is mandatory. |
| LTC2412CGN#PBF | 24-bit resolution, same pinout and interface; higher noise (1.3µV RMS), slower conversion (133ms vs. 145ms), identical 50/60Hz rejection architecture. | Targeted at ultra-high-resolution applications where 16-bit is insufficient; shares layout compatibility but trades speed and power for resolution. | Choose LTC2412CGN#PBF only when 24-bit resolution is required; LTC2436-1CGN#PBF offers better noise efficiency and lower power for 16-bit use cases. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and LTC2412CGN#PBF, the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF uniquely combines guaranteed no-latency output, integrated 50/60Hz rejection, and micropower sleep-making it optimal for dual-channel, line-powered or battery-operated precision measurement where timing determinism and EMI resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF?
The LTC2436-1CGN#PBF is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to 70°C. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all electrical characteristics unless otherwise noted. The 'C' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the 0°C–70°C grade, distinguishing it from the industrial-grade LTC2436-1IGN#PBF (–40°C to 85°C).
Does the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF require external passive components for its internal oscillator?
No, the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF does not require any external passive components for its internal oscillator. As stated in the datasheet, "The internal oscillator requires no external frequency setting components." When FO is tied to GND, the device uses its on-chip oscillator to achieve simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection without crystals, capacitors, or resistors.
How does the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF handle channel selection between CH0 and CH1?
The LTC2436-1CGN#PBF uses automatic ping-pong channel selection: Channel 0 is selected at power-up, and subsequent conversions alternate between CH0 and CH1 without software control. The selected channel is encoded in Bit 17 of the 19-bit output stream-LOW for CH0, HIGH for CH1-allowing unambiguous identification of each conversion result.
Can the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF operate with a reference voltage below 1V?
Yes, the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF supports differential reference voltages as low as 0.1V, per the Electrical Characteristics table (VREF min = 0.1V). At 0.1V VREF, the full-scale input range is ±50mV, and the 800nV RMS noise yields ~4.8µVP-P, delivering significantly improved effective resolution compared to higher VREF settings.
What is the function of the FO pin on the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF?
The FO (Frequency Oscillator) pin on the LTC2436-1CGN#PBF selects the conversion clock source: when tied to GND, it enables the internal oscillator for fixed 50Hz/60Hz rejection; when driven by an external clock (2.56kHz–2MHz), it configures the digital filter for notch rejection centered at fEOSC/2560 ±4%. The device auto-detects the presence of an external signal and disables the internal oscillator accordingly.
