Product details
Overview
LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-power, single-ended 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter optimized for space-constrained embedded sensing applications. It operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, uses VCC as its reference, delivers 60 conversions per second with single-cycle settling, and achieves 0.02LSB RMS noise and 16-bit no-missing-codes resolution in a 2mm × 2mm DFN package.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF application, or LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, SPI interface timing constraints, rail-to-rail input behavior, sleep-mode power management (50nA), and real-world design implications of its proprietary input sampling scheme.
Technical Context
The LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF implements a fixed-conversion-time delta-sigma modulator core with internal oscillator-no external timing components required. Its single-cycle settling enables deterministic multiplexed sampling without filter delay compensation.
It uses a 3-wire SPI interface (CS, SCK, SDO) supporting both CPOL = 0 and CPOL = 1 modes, with conversion status monitor capability via SDO level during CS assertion. The device enters <500nA sleep current when CS is high, and holds the last result indefinitely in static register during sleep.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full temperature range. |
| Input Range | Rail-to-rail single-ended (GND to VCC)-simplifies sensor interfacing without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 60 sps-fixed 16.6ms conversion time enables precise timing budgeting in polling-based systems. |
| Supply Current | 350μA active, 50nA sleep-enables battery-powered operation with >1-year runtime on coin cell at 1Hz output rate. |
| Reference | VCC as reference-eliminates external reference IC but requires stable supply; LSB size scales with VCC. |
| Noise Performance | 0.02LSB RMS-translates to ~1.2μVRMS at 3V, enabling sub-100μV signal resolution without external amplification. |
| Offset Error | ±0.5mV-directly impacts zero-scale accuracy in direct sensor readout (e.g., thermistor, RTD). |
| Full-Scale Error | ±4LSB-defines end-point linearity deviation; remains stable over temperature due to internal trimming. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead (2mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (GND). Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = CS, Pin 5 = SDO, Pin 6 = SCK. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply and reference voltage | Must be bypassed with 10μF + 0.1μF capacitors close to pin; directly defines LSB size and input full-scale range. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Analog input | Single-ended, rail-to-rail capable; average input sampling current is 50nA-permits direct RC filtering (e.g., 1kΩ/0.1μF) with <1LSB error. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog/digital ground | Common return for VCC reference and digital logic; low-impedance connection critical to avoid reference shift. |
| CS (Pin 4) | Active-low chip select | Controls SDO output enable and sleep entry/exit; HIGH forces <500nA sleep mode; LOW initiates data output or status monitoring. |
| SDO (Pin 5) | Three-state serial data output | Outputs MSB-first 16-bit result; indicates conversion status (HIGH = in progress, LOW = complete) when CS is LOW and SCK is HIGH. |
| SCK (Pin 6) | Serial clock input | Drives data shift-out timing; supports idle-high (CPOL=1) and idle-low (CPOL=0); edge rate control (10ns) recommended to avoid conversion interference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates external crystal/capacitor-reduces BOM count and board area in ultra-compact designs. |
| Proprietary input sampling | Reduces average input current to 50nA-enables direct connection to high-impedance sensors without buffer op-amps. |
| Single-cycle settling | Removes need for post-mux settling delays-simplifies firmware for multi-channel scanning systems. |
| Auto sleep mode | Transitions to <500nA after conversion-critical for energy harvesting and long-life battery applications. |
| Rail-to-rail input with VCC reference | Supports direct interface to 0–3.3V or 0–5V sensors (e.g., voltage outputs from pressure transducers) without scaling resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 4-channel, programmable gain amplifier (PGA), I²C interface, 860μA active current | Requires I²C bus and external PGA configuration; better for multi-sensor differential measurements | Choose ADS1115IDGSR when multi-channel differential inputs or programmable gain are required; avoid if SPI-only or ultra-low sleep current (<100nA) is mandatory. |
| MCP3424-E/ST | 4-channel, 18-bit resolution, I²C interface, 1.2μA sleep current, no internal oscillator | Higher resolution but slower (up to 15 sps), requires external clock; larger 20-pin TSSOP package | Choose MCP3424-E/ST when 18-bit precision justifies slower speed and larger footprint; avoid if 2mm × 2mm DFN or 60 sps rate is required. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MCP3424-E/ST, the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF uniquely combines SPI interface, 60 sps rate, 50nA sleep current, and 2mm × 2mm DFN in a single-ended 16-bit solution-making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive, single-input sensing nodes where simplicity and minimal external components are critical.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage for the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF?
The absolute maximum analog input voltage for the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF is –0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this range risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, VIN must remain within the GND-to-VCC rail-to-rail range, where the device guarantees 16-bit linearity and no missing codes. This constraint applies regardless of supply voltage within the 2.7V–5.5V operating range.
Does the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF does not require an external reference voltage. It uses the VCC supply rail as its reference, simplifying system design and reducing component count. This means the full-scale input range is always GND to VCC, and LSB size scales linearly with VCC (e.g., ~45.8μV/LSB at 3V, ~76.3μV/LSB at 5V). Designers must ensure VCC stability to maintain accuracy, as reference drift directly affects conversion results.
How does the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF achieve single-cycle settling time?
The LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF achieves single-cycle settling time through its proprietary delta-sigma modulator architecture and integrated input sampling scheme, which eliminates the need for traditional digital filter settling delays. Unlike oversampled ADCs requiring multiple conversions to settle after channel changes, the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF delivers a valid, fully settled 16-bit result every 16.6ms-enabling true multiplexed sampling without firmware wait states or redundant reads. This behavior is confirmed in the "Single Conversion Settling Time for Multiplexed Applications" feature list.
What is the minimum and maximum SCK frequency supported by the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF supports an SCK frequency range of 0 to 2MHz, with timing specifications guaranteeing reliable operation up to 2MHz. The datasheet specifies minimum SCK low and high periods of 250ns each, implying a practical maximum clock frequency of 2MHz. Lower frequencies-including DC (SCK held static)-are permitted for status monitoring or low-power operation, but SCK transitions during conversion may introduce noise; thus, stable SCK levels (HIGH or LOW) are recommended during the CONVERT state.
Can the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF operate from a 2.5V supply?
No, the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF cannot operate from a 2.5V supply. Its specified minimum supply voltage is 2.7V, and operation below this threshold may cause undefined behavior or failure to meet specifications. The Absolute Maximum Ratings table confirms VCC must be ≥ –0.3V, but the Electrical Characteristics section explicitly defines the operating range as 2.7V to 5.5V. Attempting to power the LTC2450CDC-1#TRMPBF at 2.5V risks incomplete power-on reset, inaccurate conversions, or non-functional SPI communication.
