Product details
Overview
LTC2445IUHF#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit, 8-channel (4-differential) no-latency delta-sigma ADC with selectable speed/resolution, 2 µVRMS noise at 1.76 kHz output rate, 0.0005% INL, and differential input/reference support. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and is used in high-precision weight scales and auto-ranging 6-digit DVMs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2445IUHF#PBF datasheet, LTC2445IUHF#PBF pinout, LTC2445IUHF#PBF application, or LTC2445IUHF#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed modulator stability under all input/reference conditions, simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection at 6.9 Hz, autosleep mode enabling 20 µA operation, and MUXOUT/ADCIN pins for external buffering.
Technical Context
The LTC2445IUHF#PBF employs a proprietary 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and continuous internal offset/full-scale calibration per conversion cycle. It supports both internal oscillator (no external components) and external fO up to 12 MHz for timing control.
Its 4-wire SPI-compatible interface uses SDI for channel/speed/resolution selection and SDO for 32-bit output (24-bit result + status bits), with BUSY indicating conversion completion. The device features no latency mode: first conversion after channel/speed change is fully accurate, and multiplexing across all 8 differential channels achieves 500 Hz scan rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization. |
| INL | ±0.0005% of full scale - ensures linearity error ≤ ±3 ppm of VREF, critical for metrology-grade measurements. |
| RMS Noise | 2 µV at 1.76 kHz output rate - enables high-speed precision without sacrificing signal-to-noise ratio. |
| Offset Error | <5 µV over –40°C to 85°C - minimizes zero-point drift in temperature-varying industrial environments. |
| Common Mode Range | GND to VCC on inputs and reference - allows direct interfacing with sensors operating at rail-to-rail common-mode voltages. |
| Output Rate | Up to 4 kHz multiplexing rate with external fO - supports rapid scanning of multiple sensor channels without settling delay. |
| Supply Current | 8–11 mA active, 20 µA in autosleep at 6.9 Hz - balances performance and power for battery-backed instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5 mm × 7 mm) plastic QFN (UHF), exposed pad (Pin 39) soldered to PCB ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,4,5,6,31,32,33) | Ground reference | Seven dedicated ground pins ensure low-impedance return paths for analog/digital currents and optimal VCC decoupling. |
| BUSY (Pin 2) | Conversion status indicator | Active-HIGH during conversion; transitions LOW when 32-bit result is ready for readout - eliminates polling overhead. |
| EXT (Pin 3) | SCK mode select | Logic HIGH enables internal SCK generation on Pin 38; logic LOW configures SCK as external clock input. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Single-ended negative input common | Shared IN– for all single-ended channels; supports bipolar input range from –0.5·VREF to +0.5·VREF. |
| CH0–CH7 (Pins 9,10,13,14,17,18,21,22) | Analog input channels | Configurable as 8 single-ended or 4 differential pairs; input voltage range: GND–0.3 V to VCC+0.3 V. |
| MUXOUTP/N (Pins 24,27) | Multiplexer output (±) | Provides buffered post-mux analog signal for external amplification - isolates ADC front-end from gain-stage nonlinearity. |
| ADCINP/N (Pins 25,26) | ADC input (±) | Accepts conditioned signal from external buffer; enables transparent calibration to cancel buffer offset errors. |
| VCC (Pin 28) | Positive supply | 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation; requires 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| REF+/REF– (Pins 29,30) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1 V to VCC differential reference; common-mode range: GND to VCC - supports ratiometric sensor interfaces. |
| SDI (Pin 34) | Serial data input | 3-bit channel address + 4-bit OSR + 2-bit mode control (1X/2X, single/diff); updated during data output phase. |
| FO (Pin 35) | Frequency control | Tie to GND or VCC to enable internal oscillator; connect external clock (0.1–12 MHz) for precise timing control. |
| CS (Pin 36) | Chip select | Active-LOW enables SDO and wakes ADC from sleep; HIGH forces autosleep & holds conversion result indefinitely. |
| SDO (Pin 37) | Serial data output | 32-bit frame (EOC/DMY/SIG/MSB/24-bit result/5 sub-LSBs); tri-state when CS = HIGH. |
| SCK (Pin 38) | Serial clock | Bidirectional: output in internal mode, input in external mode; duty cycle 45–55% with 20 pF load. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 39) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJA = 34°C/W) and noise immunity. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1258IRHBT | 24-bit, 8-channel, but uses internal clock only; no external fO option; higher typical noise (3.5 µVRMS at 1 kSPS). | Lacks simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection at low rates; no MUXOUT/ADCIN pins for external gain staging. | Choose ADS1258IRHBT if internal clock suffices and external buffering is unnecessary. |
| LTC2449IUHF#PBF | 16-channel (8-differential) variant of same family; identical noise, INL, and MUXOUT/ADCIN architecture; same pinout except CH8–CH15 added. | Supports larger sensor arrays; requires additional PCB routing for extra channels but shares layout and firmware compatibility. | Choose LTC2449IUHF#PBF when system requires >8 input channels without redesigning signal chain. |
Compared with ADS1258IRHBT, LTC2445IUHF#PBF offers superior noise performance and built-in 50/60 Hz rejection, while LTC2449IUHF#PBF extends channel count with full pin and functional compatibility - making LTC2445IUHF#PBF optimal for compact, high-fidelity 8-channel systems where timing flexibility and external signal conditioning are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output data rate of the LTC2445IUHF#PBF with an external oscillator?
The LTC2445IUHF#PBF supports up to 8 kHz output rate when using an external oscillator (fEOSC ≤ 12 MHz) in 2X speed mode. In standard 1X mode with external clock, the maximum is 4 kHz multiplexing rate - sufficient for scanning all 8 differential channels at 500 Hz each without latency or settling penalties.
Does the LTC2445IUHF#PBF require external components for basic operation?
No, the LTC2445IUHF#PBF operates with no external components when using its internal oscillator. Only standard power supply decoupling (10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic on VCC) is required. External components are optional - e.g., crystal for fO, op-amps for MUXOUT/ADCIN buffering, or RC filters for enhanced EMI immunity.
How does the MUXOUT/ADCIN feature improve system accuracy in the LTC2445IUHF#PBF?
The MUXOUT/ADCIN pins in the LTC2445IUHF#PBF allow insertion of an external amplifier between the multiplexer and ADC core. Because the LTC2445IUHF#PBF performs continuous internal calibration, it automatically cancels the offset and gain errors introduced by that external amplifier - preserving end-to-end accuracy without manual trimming or calibration tables.
What is the significance of "no latency" in the LTC2445IUHF#PBF's delta-sigma architecture?
"No latency" means the first conversion result after changing channel, speed, or resolution is fully accurate - no discarded samples or filter settling delay. This enables deterministic real-time control in applications like closed-loop sensor feedback, where every conversion must reflect the newly selected input without delay or error accumulation.
Can the LTC2445IUHF#PBF operate with a 2.5 V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2445IUHF#PBF accepts differential reference voltages from 0.1 V to VCC (4.5–5.5 V), so a 2.5 V reference is fully supported. With VREF = 2.5 V, the input range becomes ±1.25 V, and INL improves due to reduced reference-related nonlinearity - though RMS noise remains ~2 µVRMS independent of VREF.
