Product details
Overview
LTC2439-1IGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-channel (8-differential), micropower, 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with no latency, 1 µV RMS noise, 0.12 LSB INL, and single-cycle settling for multiplexed measurements. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, supports rail-to-rail differential input/reference, and is used in precision industrial sensor digitization where low power, high CMRR (>140 dB DC), and simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF datasheet, LTC2439-1IGN#PBF pinout, LTC2439-1IGN#PBF application, or LTC2439-1IGN#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 28-lead SSOP package, internal oscillator eliminating external timing components, flexible 4-wire SPI/MICROWIRE interface, and support for 0.1V–VCC differential reference voltage - enabling ratiometric remote sensing and low-voltage transducer interfacing.
Technical Context
The LTC2439-1IGN#PBF implements a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filtering, delivering true 16-bit no-missing-codes performance and guaranteed modulator stability under all input/reference conditions. Its autocalibration engine performs offset and full-scale correction every conversion cycle, ensuring long-term drift immunity without user intervention.
It supports two clocking modes: internal oscillator (fixed 50/60 Hz notch at 87 dB min rejection) or external frequency control via FO pin (rejection tunable to fEOSC/2560 ±4% at 110 dB min). Input common mode range (GND–0.3V to VCC+0.3V) and reference common mode range (GND to VCC) are independently configurable, enabling direct connection to strain gauges, thermocouples, and bridge sensors without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and unambiguous digital representation across full input range. |
| INL | 0.12 LSB max - ensures <±0.0019% full-scale linearity error for high-accuracy calibration-critical systems. |
| Noise | 1 µV RMS - independent of VREF; enables effective resolution improvement when using low reference voltages (e.g., 100 mV → 1.5 µV/LSB). |
| Supply Current | 200 µA active / 4 µA autosleep - supports battery-powered data loggers and energy-harvesting nodes with multi-year runtime. |
| CMRR (DC) | >140 dB - rejects common-mode interference from noisy industrial grounds or shared supply rails. |
| 50/60 Hz Rejection | 87 dB min simultaneous - eliminates mains-induced errors without external notch filters or software averaging. |
| Input Range | ±0.5 × VREF, VREF = 0.1V to VCC - supports direct digitization of microvolt-level signals from low-output sensors. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (GN), –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH15 (Pins 1–8, 21–28) | Analog input channels | Configurable as 16 single-ended (vs. COM) or 8 differential pairs; support bipolar input up to ±0.5×VREF. |
| COM (Pin 10) | Common negative input | Reference node for all single-ended measurements; voltage range extends beyond GND/VCC (GND–0.3V to VCC+0.3V). |
| REF+, REF– (Pins 11, 12) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1V–VCC differential voltage; common-mode range fully independent of input common-mode. |
| VCC (Pin 9), GND (Pin 15) | Power supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| CS (Pin 16) | Active-low chip select | Controls power state: LOW wakes ADC and enables SDO; HIGH forces autosleep (4 µA) and tri-states output. |
| SDO (Pin 17) | 3-state serial data output | Outputs 19-bit frame (EOC, DMY, SIG, 16-bit result); high-impedance when CS = HIGH. |
| SCK (Pin 18) | Bidirectional serial clock | Functions as output (internal clock mode) or input (external clock mode); weak internal pull-up active in output mode. |
| FO (Pin 19) | Frequency control | GND = internal oscillator (50/60 Hz rejection); driven = external clock (fEOSC = 2.56–2000 kHz) for custom notch tuning. |
| SDI (Pin 20) | Serial data input | Accepts 8-bit channel address (3 control + 5 address bits) on rising SCK edges to reconfigure MUX before next conversion. |
| NC (Pins 13, 14) | No connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency delta-sigma architecture | Single-cycle settling enables deterministic timing for real-time multiplexed sensor arrays without filter delay uncertainty. |
| Per-conversion auto-calibration | Eliminates need for external zero/gain calibration routines; maintains <±5 µV offset error and <±0.16 LSB full-scale error over temperature and supply variation. |
| Flexible reference interface | Supports 0.1V–VCC differential reference with independent common-mode control - enables ratiometric bridge measurements and isolated sensor interfaces. |
| Ultra-low transition noise | <0.02 LSB - prevents code flicker during stable DC measurements, critical for weight scale and precision instrumentation applications. |
| Guaranteed modulator lock-up immunity | Operates reliably under any input/reference condition (including overrange, underrange, or floating inputs) without requiring system-level watchdog or reset logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel precision ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPWR | 24-bit resolution, integrated PGA (1–128×), lower noise (0.15 µV RMS), but higher supply current (350 µA active) and no internal oscillator. | Requires external crystal or clock source; better suited for ultra-high-resolution applications where PGA gain flexibility outweighs power penalty. | Select ADS124S08IPWR when 24-bit resolution and programmable gain are mandatory, and system can accommodate higher active current and external timing. |
| LTC2418CGN#PBF | 24-bit resolution, pin-compatible 28-SSOP package, identical interface and timing, but higher supply current (350 µA) and no autosleep mode. | Lacks 4 µA autosleep; not suitable for battery-powered intermittent-read applications requiring ultra-low quiescent power. | Select LTC2418CGN#PBF only when 24-bit resolution is required and continuous conversion duty cycle justifies higher average current. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPWR and LTC2418CGN#PBF, the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF uniquely balances 16-bit precision, 4 µA autosleep, internal oscillator, and simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated, or space-constrained industrial sensor nodes where 16-bit resolution suffices and lowest possible active/sleep current is critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF?
The LTC2439-1IGN#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation (industrial grade), as confirmed by its "I" suffix and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This range supports deployment in demanding environments such as factory automation, outdoor environmental monitors, and vehicle-mounted test equipment where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits.
Does the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF require external passive components for its internal oscillator?
No, the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF integrates a precision internal oscillator that requires no external capacitors, crystals, or resistors. When the FO pin is tied to GND, the device automatically uses this oscillator to achieve simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz notch filtering at ≥87 dB rejection - simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM cost versus discrete timing solutions.
Can the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF operate with a 0.1V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF accepts differential reference voltages from 0.1V to VCC. At 0.1V reference, the LSB step size is 1.5 µV, and the 1 µV RMS noise remains unchanged - yielding improved effective resolution for low-level sensor signals. This capability is explicitly guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Applications Information section.
How does the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF handle input overrange and underrange conditions?
The LTC2439-1IGN#PBF generates unique overrange and underrange output codes when the differential input exceeds ±0.5 × VREF. These conditions are flagged in the 19-bit output stream: Bits 16 and 15 both HIGH indicate overrange; both LOW indicate underrange. This allows firmware to detect sensor faults, open circuits, or out-of-range excitation without additional comparator circuitry.
Is the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF pin-compatible with other devices in the same family?
Yes, the LTC2439-1IGN#PBF is pin-compatible with the 24-bit LTC2418 in the same 28-lead SSOP package, as stated in the Features list. This allows hardware reuse across resolution tiers - for example, using LTC2439-1IGN#PBF for cost-sensitive 16-bit designs and LTC2418 for higher-accuracy variants - without PCB redesign.
