Product details
Overview
LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit, 16-channel (8-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 from GND to VCC. It enables high-precision, high-speed data acquisition in weight scales and auto-ranging DVMs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF pinout, LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF application, or LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF 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 for 20 µA operation, and internal oscillator eliminating external timing components.
Technical Context
The LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF implements a proprietary third-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filtering and per-conversion auto-calibration of offset and full-scale. Its no-latency architecture ensures the first conversion after channel/speed/resolution change is fully accurate-no settling delay or DC shift.
It supports 10 discrete speed/resolution combinations (6.9 Hz to 3.5 kHz native, up to 8 kHz with external oscillator), 2× speed mode with one-cycle latency, and flexible 4-wire SPI interface with internal or external SCK selection via the EXT pin. Input common-mode range is independent of reference voltage and spans GND to VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes-guaranteed monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| RMS Noise | 2 µV at 1.76 kHz output rate; 200 nV at 13.8 Hz with simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection-enables ultra-low-noise precision measurement. |
| INL | ±0.0005% of full scale (±12 ppm)-ensures high linearity without calibration in 6½-digit DVM applications. |
| Offset Error | <5 µV over –40°C to +85°C (4.5 V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5 V)-minimizes zero-point drift in temperature-sensitive systems. |
| Input Channels | 16 single-ended or 8 differential inputs (CH0–CH15), with COM pin supporting pseudo-differential configurations. |
| Reference Range | Differential reference (REF+ – REF–) from 0.1 V to VCC; common-mode range GND to VCC-supports rail-to-rail reference flexibility. |
| Supply Current | 8–11 mA in conversion mode; 20 µA in autosleep at 6.9 Hz-enables low-power continuous monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
38-lead (5 mm × 7 mm) plastic QFN package (UHF) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 39 = GND). All seven ground pins (1, 4, 5, 6, 31, 32, 33) must be connected to PCB ground plane for optimal noise immunity and decoupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1, 4, 5, 6, 31, 32, 33) | Ground reference and power return | Multiple dedicated ground paths reduce ground bounce and improve PSRR in multi-channel scanning. |
| BUSY (2) | Conversion status indicator | Active-HIGH during conversion; transitions LOW when 32-bit result is ready-enables interrupt-driven data capture. |
| EXT (3) | SCK mode select | LOW = external SCK input; HIGH = internal SCK output on Pin 38-configures serial interface without registers. |
| COM (7) | Common negative input | Shared IN– for all single-ended channels; supports bipolar input range (–0.5·VREF to +0.5·VREF) when paired with CHx. |
| CH0–CH15 (8–23) | Analog multiplexer inputs | Programmable as single-ended or differential pairs; full GND–VCC common-mode tolerance enables direct sensor interfacing. |
| VCC (28) | Positive supply | 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation; requires local 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass-critical for RMS noise performance. |
| REF+/REF– (29/30) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1 V–VCC differential reference; common-mode range matches VCC, enabling ratiometric sensor designs. |
| SDI/SDO/SCK/CS (34/37/38/36) | 4-wire SPI interface | CS-active-low wake-up; SDI configures next conversion; SDO outputs 32-bit frame with EOC/SIG/MSB/status bits. |
| FO (35) | Internal/external oscillator control | Tied to GND or VCC selects internal oscillator; connects to external clock (0.1–12 MHz) for precise timing control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency delta-sigma architecture | First conversion after channel/speed change is fully accurate-eliminates dead time and settling errors in multiplexed systems. |
| Per-conversion auto-calibration | Continuous offset and full-scale correction removes drift due to temperature, supply variation, and aging-no user intervention required. |
| Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection | Guaranteed at 6.9 Hz output rate without notch filters-enables clean AC-line-immune measurements in industrial environments. |
| Autosleep mode | Reduces current to 20 µA at 6.9 Hz output rate-extends battery life in portable instrumentation and remote sensors. |
| True differential input & reference | Independent GND-to-VCC common-mode ranges for inputs and reference-supports grounded, floating, and ratiometric sensor topologies. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1258IRHBT | 24-bit, 16-channel, but uses switched-capacitor SAR architecture; no inherent 50/60 Hz rejection; higher typical noise (3.5 µVRMS at 1 kSPS). | Requires external digital notch filtering for AC-line rejection; less suited for direct thermocouple measurement without preamplification. | Prefer LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF when simultaneous line-frequency rejection, no-latency scanning, or lower system noise floor is required. |
| LTC2449IUHF#TRPBF | Pin-compatible variant with MUXOUT/ADCIN pins and √2 lower RMS noise (≈140 nV at 13.8 Hz); identical speed/resolution table and pinout. | Enables external buffering/gain before ADC input-ideal for high-impedance sensors or isolated front-ends where drive capability matters. | Select LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF for cost-optimized, buffer-free designs; choose LTC2449IUHF#TRPBF only if external signal conditioning is needed. |
Compared with ADS1258IRHBT, the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF delivers superior noise performance and built-in line-frequency rejection without firmware overhead; compared with LTC2449IUHF#TRPBF, it omits MUXOUT/ADCIN pins-reducing BOM cost and layout complexity where external buffering is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum output data rate of the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF?
The LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF achieves up to 8 kHz output rate when using an external oscillator (fEOSC = 10 MHz) in 2× speed mode. With its internal oscillator, the maximum native rate is 3.5 kHz in 1× mode or 7 kHz in 2× mode. Each output sample is fully settled and accurate-no latency or filter delay.
Does the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF require external calibration components?
No. The LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF performs full offset and full-scale auto-calibration every conversion cycle, eliminating the need for external trim components or periodic recalibration. This ensures long-term stability of <5 µV offset error and ±0.0005% INL across –40°C to +85°C without user intervention.
How does the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF handle 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference?
The LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF provides guaranteed simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection at its 6.9 Hz output rate through inherent delta-sigma modulation and decimation-no external notch filters or software algorithms required. This is achieved by integer division of the internal modulator clock, ensuring deterministic rejection without configuration.
Can the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No. The LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF requires a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply (VCC). Its absolute maximum rating is 6 V, and operation below 4.5 V is not specified or guaranteed. For 3.3 V systems, consider level-shifting digital interfaces or selecting a different ADC family rated for 3.3 V operation.
What is the function of the COM pin on the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF?
The COM pin on the LTC2448IUHF#TRPBF serves as the common negative input (IN–) for all single-ended channel configurations. When used with CH0–CH15, it defines the reference point for pseudo-differential measurements and supports input common-mode voltages from GND – 0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V-enabling direct connection to grounded sensors or biased transducers.
