Product details
Overview
LTC2442IG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with integrated dual programmable amplifiers, 4-channel multiplexing (2 differential or 4 single-ended), and selectable speed/resolution modes ranging from 6.9 Hz to 7 kHz. It delivers 1 ppm INL, <5 µV offset, and 220 nVRMS noise at 13.8 Hz - enabling high-precision direct sensor digitization in industrial instrumentation and weigh scales.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2442IG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2442IG#TRPBF pinout, LTC2442IG#TRPBF application, or LTC2442IG#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating modes (internal/external oscillator, 1X/2X speed), real-world application constraints (e.g., V+ ≥ VINMAX + 2 V), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for precision data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The LTC2442IG#TRPBF implements a third-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and continuous auto-calibration - ensuring stable DC accuracy without latency across all 10 speed/resolution combinations (e.g., 6.9 Hz/220 nVRMS to 3.5 kHz/25 µVRMS). Its dual integrated amplifiers support unity-gain buffering or externally set gain configurations, with independent ±15 V amplifier supplies (V+/V–) enabling rail-to-rail input signal handling.
It features a 4-wire SPI-compatible interface (SDI/SDO/SCK/CS), BUSY status indicator, and flexible clocking: internal oscillator (no external components) or external fOSC up to 12 MHz. Channel selection, speed/resolution, and 2X mode are controlled via 32-bit SDI command with no configuration registers required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full-scale fidelity for metrology-grade measurements. |
| INL Error | ±1 ppm of VREF (typical) - enables 1 ppm linearity in unity-gain buffer mode, critical for 6½-digit DVMs. |
| Offset Error | <5 µV (–40°C to 85°C) - eliminates need for system-level offset trimming in high-stability applications. |
| Noise Density | 220 nVRMS at 13.8 Hz output rate - supports simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection without external filtering. |
| Output Rate Range | 6.9 Hz to 7 kHz (1X mode); up to 8 kHz with external oscillator - allows dynamic trade-off between resolution and throughput. |
| Input Configuration | 2 differential or 4 single-ended channels with GND-to-VCC common-mode range - simplifies sensor interfacing without level-shifting. |
| Amplifier Supplies | V+ = 4.5 V to 15 V; V– = –15 V to 0 V - supports bipolar input signals beyond supply rails (e.g., ±10 V sensors). |
Pinout & Package
36-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 0.025" pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Pin 1 identifier marked on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH3 (Pins 6–9) | Multiplexer analog inputs | Selectable as differential pair (CH0/CH1 or CH2/CH3) or four single-ended inputs referenced to COM. |
| COM (Pin 28) | Common negative input | Serves as SEL– for all single-ended configurations; supports input voltages from GND–0.3 V to VCC+0.3 V. |
| +INA / –INA (Pins 25/13) | Amplifier A differential inputs | +INA tied to MUXOUTA; –INA shorted to OUTA for unity gain or configured with external resistors for gain >1. |
| OUTA (Pin 12) | Amplifier A output | Drives ADCINA (Pin 11); requires ≥0.1 µF compensation capacitor to ground for stability. |
| ADCINA (Pin 11) | ADC channel A input | Accepts amplified signal from OUTA; sampling capacitance = 2 pF - minimizes charge injection error. |
| REF+ / REF– (Pins 30/31) | Differential reference inputs | Support 0.1 V to VCC differential range; common-mode voltage spans GND to VCC - enables ratiometric or isolated references. |
| SDI / SDO / SCK / CS (Pins 33/36/1/35) | 4-wire SPI interface | SDI configures next conversion; SDO outputs 32-bit frame (status + 24-bit result + sub-LSBs); no setup/hold registers needed. |
| BUSY (Pin 2) | Conversion status indicator | Active-HIGH during conversion; goes LOW when result is ready - usable as hardware interrupt for microcontrollers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency 1X mode | First conversion after channel/speed change is fully accurate - eliminates settling delays in multiplexed high-speed acquisition. |
| Continuous auto-calibration | Per-conversion offset and full-scale calibration ensures <5 µV offset drift over temperature and time - no manual recalibration required. |
| Integrated dual amplifiers | Configurable as unity-gain buffers or externally gain-set stages - enables direct connection of high-Z sensors (e.g., strain gauges, RTDs) without external op-amps. |
| Simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection | Guaranteed at 6.9 Hz output rate - removes mains interference without notch filters or firmware averaging. |
| Flexible clock architecture | Internal oscillator (no external parts) or external fOSC up to 12 MHz - supports precise timing control in noise-sensitive environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1256IDBT | 24-bit, 30 kSPS max, single-ended only, no integrated amplifiers, requires external PGA for sensor interfacing. | Best suited for PCB space-constrained designs where external signal conditioning is already present. | Select ADS1256IDBT when system-level amplification exists and higher throughput (>7 kHz) is required - but expect added BOM cost and layout complexity for external gain stages. |
| AD7195BRUZ | 24-bit, 4.8 kSPS max, integrated PGA (1–128×), 50/60 Hz rejection, but only 2 differential/4 pseudo-differential inputs (no true single-ended). | Ideal for low-power, low-noise weigh scale and pressure sensor front-ends with fixed gain requirements. | Choose AD7195BRUZ for ultra-low power (<1 mA ICC) and factory-calibrated PGA gain - but verify COM pin limitations if true single-ended operation with independent references is needed. |
Compared with ADS1256IDBT and AD7195BRUZ, the LTC2442IG#TRPBF uniquely combines dual independent amplifiers, true 4-channel single-ended support, and 8 kHz external-clock operation - making it optimal for flexible, high-fidelity sensor digitization where board space permits discrete amplifier decoupling and layout control.

FAQ
What is the maximum output data rate achievable with the LTC2442IG#TRPBF?
The LTC2442IG#TRPBF achieves up to 8 kHz output rate when configured in 2X speed mode with an external oscillator (fOSC = 12 MHz). In 1X mode with internal oscillator, the maximum is 7 kHz. These rates maintain full 24-bit resolution and guaranteed 25 µVRMS noise performance - verified across the –40°C to 85°C operating range specified for the LTC2442IG#TRPBF.
Does the LTC2442IG#TRPBF require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required for basic operation of the LTC2442IG#TRPBF when using its internal oscillator and unity-gain amplifier configuration. Only three mandatory bypass capacitors are needed: 10 µF + 0.1 µF on VCC (Pin 29), 1 µF on V+ (Pin 21), and 1 µF on V– (Pin 24). The 0.1 µF compensation capacitors on OUTA/OUTB (Pins 12/17) are required for amplifier stability per the LTC2442IG#TRPBF datasheet.
How does the LTC2442IG#TRPBF handle input overrange and underrange conditions?
The LTC2442IG#TRPBF uses dedicated status bits (Bit 29 and Bit 28) in its 32-bit output frame to indicate overrange (VIN > +0.5•VREF) and underrange (VIN < –0.5•VREF) conditions. These produce unique, non-overlapping output codes distinct from valid conversions - enabling robust fault detection in safety-critical applications without additional external comparators or firmware checks.
Can the LTC2442IG#TRPBF operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the LTC2442IG#TRPBF requires VCC between 4.5 V and 5.5 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operating below 4.5 V violates specification and risks improper amplifier biasing, modulator instability, and invalid conversion results. For 3.3 V systems, level-shifting or a compatible 3.3 V ADC (e.g., AD717x series) must be used instead of the LTC2442IG#TRPBF.
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for the LTC2442IG#TRPBF over temperature?
The LTC2442IG#TRPBF guarantees ±2 ppm of VREF INL over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) when configured with REF+ = 4.096 V, REF– = GND, and VINCM = 2.048 V - matching the conditions shown in Figure TA02 of the official datasheet. This value is measured and tested, not just typical, and applies to both differential and single-ended input modes.
