Product details
Overview
LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit, 16-channel (8-differential) no-latency delta-sigma ADC with selectable speed/resolution, 200nVRMS noise at 13.8Hz, simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection, and integrated internal oscillator. It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V supply and targets high-precision industrial data acquisition where channel switching must yield immediate valid conversions without settling delay.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF pinout, LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF application, or LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated QFN-38 pin functions, confirmed MUXOUT/ADCIN architecture, real-world application mappings, and two technically documented alternative parts - all extracted from the official LTC2444–LTC2449 family datasheet (2444589fc).
Technical Context
The LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF implements a proprietary 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and per-conversion auto-calibration for offset and full-scale. Its no-latency mode ensures every conversion result is accurate immediately after channel or speed change, eliminating traditional filter settling delays.
It supports both internal oscillator (no external components) and external clock up to 12MHz on FO pin, enabling output rates from 6.9Hz to 8kHz. The MUXOUTP/ADCINP/MUXOUTN/ADCINN pins provide dedicated buffered signal path for external gain/conditioning while preserving calibration integrity across all 16 channels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function across full input range. |
| RMS Noise | 200nV at 13.8Hz output rate - enables direct thermocouple or strain gauge measurement without amplification. |
| INL Error | ±0.0005% of VREF - ensures <1ppm linearity error in 6½-digit DVM or metrology-grade applications. |
| Offset Error | <5µV over –40°C to 85°C - eliminates need for system-level offset trimming in precision sensor interfaces. |
| Input Channels | 16 single-ended or 8 differential - supports flexible multiplexed sensing with GND-to-VCC common-mode range. |
| Output Rate Range | 6.9Hz to 8kHz - selectable via serial interface; 2× speed mode adds one-cycle latency but doubles throughput. |
| Reference Range | 0.1V to VCC differential - allows low-voltage reference use without sacrificing INL performance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5mm × 7mm) plastic QFN (UHF), exposed pad (Pin 39) soldered to PCB ground. RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,4,5,6,31,32,33) | Ground reference | Seven dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR during high-speed multiplexing. |
| BUSY (Pin 2) | Conversion status indicator | Active-HIGH signal asserts during conversion; goes LOW when 32-bit result is ready for readout. |
| EXT (Pin 3) | SCK mode selector | Logic HIGH enables internal SCK generation on Pin 38; logic LOW configures SCK as external clock input. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Common negative input | Shared IN– node for all single-ended configurations; supports rail-to-rail common-mode voltage (GND to VCC). |
| CH0–CH15 (Pins 8–23) | Analog input channels | Programmable as single-ended or differential pairs; each accepts ±0.5•VREF differential input with GND–VCC common mode. |
| MUXOUTP/N (Pins 24,27) | Multiplexer output | Drives external buffer/amplifier; isolated from ADC core to prevent loading effects on multiplexer settling. |
| ADCINP/N (Pins 25,26) | ADC input terminals | Accept conditioned signal from external buffer; calibration automatically corrects buffer offset and gain errors. |
| VCC (Pin 28) | Supply voltage | 4.5V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic bypass for stable high-resolution conversion. |
| REF+/REF– (Pins 29,30) | Differential reference inputs | Support true differential reference from 0.1V to VCC; REF+ must exceed REF– by ≥0.1V for valid operation. |
| SDI (Pin 34) | Serial command input | Configures next conversion's channel, OSR (256–32768), and 1X/2X mode during data output cycle. |
| FO (Pin 35) | Frequency control | Tied to GND or VCC selects internal oscillator; driven by external 0.1–12MHz clock for precise timing control. |
| CS (Pin 36) | Chip select | Active-LOW enables SDO output and wakes ADC from sleep; HIGH forces autosleep (20µA typical). |
| SDO (Pin 37) | Serial data output | 32-bit frame (EOC/DMY/SIG/MSB/24-bit result/sub-LSBs); tri-state when CS = HIGH. |
| SCK (Pin 38) | Serial clock | Bidirectional: output in internal mode, input in external mode; timing compliant with Linear ∆Σ family. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 39) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJA = 34°C/W) and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency conversion | Every conversion is valid immediately after channel/speed change - eliminates dead time in multiplexed systems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2448CUHF#TRPBF | Same 16-channel architecture but lacks MUXOUT/ADCIN pins; 280nVRMS noise at 6.9Hz (vs. 200nV for LTC2449). | Preferred where external buffering is unnecessary and lower cost is prioritized over ultra-low noise. | Select LTC2448CUHF#TRPBF when system design uses direct sensor connection and does not require external gain stage calibration transparency. |
| ADS1258IPWR | 16-channel, 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with 10µV offset and 150nVRMS noise at 1.2kSPS; SPI interface; no built-in 50/60Hz rejection. | Requires external digital filtering for AC line rejection; supports wider supply range (2.7–5.25V) and lower power (3.8mW). | Choose ADS1258IPWR for battery-powered portable instruments needing lower supply voltage and integrated PGA, accepting added firmware complexity for line rejection. |
Compared with LTC2448CUHF#TRPBF and ADS1258IPWR, the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF uniquely combines MUXOUT/ADCIN signal isolation, guaranteed simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection, and per-conversion auto-calibration - making it optimal for metrology-grade systems where calibration integrity and noise floor are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum output data rate of the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF?
The LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF achieves up to 8kHz output rate when using an external 10MHz oscillator on the FO pin and operating in 2× speed mode. In standard 1× mode with internal oscillator, the maximum rate is 3.5kHz. All rates maintain 24-bit resolution with no latency between channel selections, and the device guarantees valid first-conversion results after any configuration change.
Does the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF require external components for basic operation?
No, the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF operates fully functional with only VCC bypass capacitors (10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic) and no external clock or reference conditioning. Its internal oscillator eliminates need for crystal or RC network, and its integrated auto-calibration removes requirement for external trim components - enabling minimal footprint designs for space-constrained instrumentation.
How does the MUXOUT/ADCIN feature of the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF improve system accuracy?
The MUXOUT/ADCIN feature of the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF provides physically separated paths for multiplexer output and ADC input, allowing insertion of an external buffer or gain stage. Crucially, the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF performs per-conversion calibration that automatically corrects for offset, gain, and drift of that external circuit - preserving end-to-end accuracy without manual calibration or firmware compensation.
What is the guaranteed noise performance of the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF at 13.8Hz output rate?
At 13.8Hz output rate, the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF guarantees 200nVRMS noise with simultaneous 50Hz and 60Hz line rejection. This specification is measured under standard conditions (VCC = 5V, VREF = 5V, VIN+ = VIN– = 0V) and applies across the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C for the C-grade LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF), enabling direct high-fidelity sensor interfacing.
Can the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF operate with a 2.5V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2449CUHF#TRPBF supports differential reference voltages from 0.1V to VCC, including 2.5V. When using 2.5V reference, the input full-scale range becomes ±1.25V differential, and INL performance improves due to reduced reference-dependent errors - while RMS noise remains near-constant at ~200nVRMS, preserving effective resolution for low-voltage sensor signals.
