Product details
Overview
LTC2440CGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit no-latency delta-sigma ADC with differential inputs, programmable speed/resolution (6.9 Hz to 3.5 kHz), 5 ppm INL, 5 µV offset, and integrated oscillator. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and delivers 200 nVRMS noise at 6.9 Hz with simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection - ideal for high-precision weight scales and auto-ranging DVMs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2440CGN#PBF datasheet, LTC2440CGN#PBF pinout, LTC2440CGN#PBF application, or LTC2440CGN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its selectable output rates, differential reference support (0.1 V to VCC), autosleep current as low as 25 µA, pin compatibility with LTC2410, and guaranteed 24-bit no-missing-codes performance across temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC2440CGN#PBF uses a proprietary delta-sigma architecture enabling real-time speed/resolution reconfiguration without latency or settling delay. Its internal oscillator eliminates external timing components, and continuous per-conversion offset/full-scale calibration ensures stability over temperature, supply voltage, and time.
It supports both internal and external SCK modes via the EXT pin, offers 32-bit serial output (3 status + 24 data + 5 sub-LSB bits), and features four dedicated ground pins (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) for optimal noise immunity and decoupling in high-resolution measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization in precision metrology. |
| INL | ±5 ppm of VREF - enables 0.0005% linearity accuracy critical for 6½-digit DVMs and calibration-grade instruments. |
| Offset Error | ≤5 µV (–40°C to 85°C) - ensures stable zero-point accuracy without periodic recalibration in industrial sensors. |
| Noise (RMS) | 200 nV at 6.9 Hz with 50/60 Hz rejection - allows direct AC-line-immune measurements in noisy factory environments. |
| Output Rate Range | 6.9 Hz to 3.5 kHz - supports flexible trade-offs between resolution (200 nV) and throughput (25 µV) without hardware changes. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of typical industrial power rail variation. |
| Reference Range | 0.1 V to VCC differential - permits use of low-voltage references to improve INL while maintaining full 24-bit code coverage. |
Pinout & Package
Narrow 16-lead SSOP (GN package), RoHS-compliant, 0°C to 70°C operating range. Four GND pins (1, 8, 9, 16) provide low-impedance return paths for analog and digital currents.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1, 8, 9, 16) | Ground reference | All four pins must be connected to PCB ground plane; internal connection optimizes decoupling and reduces ground bounce in high-resolution conversions. |
| VCC (2) | Positive supply | Requires local bypassing with 10 µF tantalum || 0.1 µF ceramic; powers analog core, digital interface, and internal oscillator. |
| REF+ / REF– (3, 4) | Differential reference input | Accepts 0.1 V to VCC differential span; common-mode range extends from GND to VCC, enabling ratiometric or isolated reference designs. |
| IN+ / IN– (5, 6) | Differential analog input | Bipolar input range = ±0.5 × VREF; absolute voltage range = GND – 0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V - supports wide common-mode signal conditioning. |
| SDI (7) | Speed/resolution select | Logic LOW = 880 Hz / 2 µVRMS; HIGH = 6.9 Hz / 200 nVRMS + 50/60 Hz rejection; also accepts serial programming for 10 discrete modes. |
| EXT (10) | SCK mode control | LOW = external clock on SCK pin; HIGH = internal SCK generated and output on SCK pin - simplifies interface to microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| CS (11) | Chip select | Active LOW enables SDO and wakes ADC from sleep; rising edge during data transfer aborts output and starts new conversion. |
| SDO (12) | Serial data output | 3-state output; carries 32-bit frame (status + 24-bit result + 5 sub-LSBs); high-Z when CS = HIGH to prevent bus contention. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock | Bidirectional: input in external mode, output in internal mode; timing defined by EXT pin state and internal oscillator or external source. |
| fO (14) | Oscillator control | Tie to GND or VCC to enable internal oscillator; no external crystal required - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| BUSY (15) | Conversion status | Active HIGH during conversion; goes LOW when result is ready and remains LOW during sleep/data output - pin-compatible with LTC2410 for drop-in upgrades. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No latency conversion | Each output corresponds exactly to the immediately preceding conversion - enables true real-time multiplexed acquisition without filter delay or phase shift. |
| Per-conversion auto-calibration | Continuous offset and full-scale correction eliminates drift-related errors over temperature, time, and supply variation - no user intervention required. |
| Autosleep power management | Draws only 25 µA at 6.9 Hz output rate - reduces average system power in battery-operated DVMs and portable instrumentation. |
| Differential reference & input | Supports fully differential signal chains with common-mode rejection >120 dB DC - rejects noise coupled equally to IN+/IN– or REF+/REF–. |
| Pin compatibility with LTC2410 | Same pinout, interface timing, and registerless operation - allows field-upgrade of existing designs without PCB revision. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2410CGN#PBF | Fixed 880 Hz output rate, 2 µVRMS noise, no SDI-programmable modes; identical pinout and interface. | Limited to medium-speed, medium-noise applications; lacks 6.9 Hz ultralow-noise mode with 50/60 Hz rejection. | Select when fixed-speed operation suffices and lowest BOM cost is prioritized over flexibility. |
| ADS1256IPW | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with 30 kSPS max, integrated PGA, but requires external reference and clock; different pinout and SPI protocol. | Requires external oscillator and reference design; lacks built-in 50/60 Hz rejection and autosleep optimization. | Select when higher throughput (>1 kHz) or programmable gain is needed, and board space allows added components. |
Compared with LTC2410CGN#PBF, the LTC2440CGN#PBF adds programmable speed/resolution and 50/60 Hz rejection without layout change; compared with ADS1256IPW, it integrates oscillator and reference flexibility but trades off maximum sample rate and PGA functionality.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2440CGN#PBF?
The LTC2440CGN#PBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation (Commercial grade). Its electrical characteristics - including 5 µV offset, 5 ppm INL, and 200 nVRMS noise at 6.9 Hz - are guaranteed across this full range. For extended temperature operation, the LTC2440IGN#PBF variant supports –40°C to 85°C.
Does the LTC2440CGN#PBF require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the LTC2440CGN#PBF includes a fully integrated oscillator. The fO pin is used to enable it (tie to GND or VCC), eliminating all external timing components. This reduces bill-of-materials cost, PCB area, and layout sensitivity - a key advantage over alternatives like the ADS1256IPW that require external clocks.
How does the LTC2440CGN#PBF achieve 50/60 Hz rejection at 6.9 Hz output rate?
The LTC2440CGN#PBF achieves simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection through its proprietary delta-sigma architecture and precise internal clocking. At the 6.9 Hz output rate (OSR = 32768), the modulator and decimation filter are inherently synchronized to reject both 50 Hz and 60 Hz line frequencies - no external notch filters or software averaging required. This is confirmed in the datasheet's TA01 and G24 figures.
Can the LTC2440CGN#PBF interface directly with a microcontroller SPI port?
Yes, the LTC2440CGN#PBF supports standard 3-wire or 4-wire SPI-compatible serial communication. When EXT = HIGH, it outputs SCK internally and uses BUSY as a data-ready indicator; when EXT = LOW, it accepts external SCK - making it compatible with most MCU SPI peripherals in either mode without protocol translation.
What is the meaning of the 32-bit output format of the LTC2440CGN#PBF?
The LTC2440CGN#PBF outputs a 32-bit serial frame: Bits 31–29 are status (EOC, dummy, sign), Bits 28–5 are the 24-bit conversion result (MSB first), and Bits 4–0 are sub-LSBs usable for averaging. This structure enables immediate interpretation of sign, over/underrange, and full resolution - with Bit 31 (EOC) available even during conversion when CS is LOW.
