Product details
Overview
LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-power, single-ended 16-bit delta-sigma ADC designed 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, features single-cycle settling time, and consumes less than 25μW at 1Hz output rate on 2.7V - ideal for battery-powered environmental or system monitoring nodes.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF application, or LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail input range (GND to VCC), ultra-low 50nA average input sampling current, integrated oscillator eliminating external timing components, SPI-compatible 3-wire interface, and −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
The LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF employs a proprietary delta-sigma modulator with internal oversampling and auto-zeroing, achieving 0.02LSB RMS noise and guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes performance. Its conversion cycle comprises three deterministic states - CONVERT (~16.6ms), SLEEP (<500nA), and DATA OUTPUT - synchronized via CS/SCK/SDO signals without latency or filter settling delay.
It integrates an internal oscillator and uses VCC as both supply and reference, enabling direct rail-to-rail analog input (VIN = 0V to VCC) with 0.5mV offset error and 4LSB full-scale error. The device supports CPOL = 0 or 1 SPI modes, allows conversion status monitoring via SDO level during sleep, and implements an Easy Drive™ input sampling scheme reducing average input current by orders of magnitude versus conventional delta-sigma architectures.
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 | GND to VCC - enables direct connection to unbuffered sensors without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Sampling Current | 50nA average - permits use of simple RC filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1μF) with <1LSB error, eliminating need for op-amp buffers. |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 60 sps - fixed 16.6ms conversion time enables precise timing control in multiplexed systems. |
| Supply Current | 350μA active, <500nA sleep - supports ultra-low-power wake-up-and-measure operation in energy-harvesting designs. |
| Noise Performance | 0.02LSB RMS - ensures high effective resolution even with noisy supply or layout conditions. |
| Reference | VCC (2.7V–5.5V) - eliminates external reference IC, simplifies BOM, and scales LSB size with supply voltage. |
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.
| 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 full-scale range and LSB size. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Analog input | Rail-to-rail single-ended input; draws only 50nA avg. current, enabling direct RC filtering without buffer. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog/digital ground | Low-impedance connection required to minimize reference error from supply current through PCB traces. |
| CS (Pin 4) | Active-low chip select | Controls SDO output enable/disable; HIGH places SDO in Hi-Z; LOW initiates data read or status monitoring. |
| SDO (Pin 5) | 3-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) or idle-low (CPOL=0); edge rate impacts noise immunity during conversion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates all external timing components - reduces component count, board area, and startup complexity. |
| Easy Drive™ input sampling | Reduces average input current to 50nA - enables direct sensor interfacing with passive RC anti-aliasing filters. |
| Single-cycle settling | Delivers valid conversion result after each acquisition - removes need for channel settling delays in multiplexed systems. |
| Auto sleep mode | Enters <500nA sleep automatically post-conversion - extends battery life in intermittent measurement applications. |
| Fixed conversion time | 16.6ms nominal duration - allows deterministic firmware timing without polling or interrupts for completion detection. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IRUGT | 4-channel, I²C interface, programmable gain amplifier (PGA), 860SPS max, no internal oscillator - requires external clock or master timing. | Supports differential inputs and multiple channels; better suited for multi-sensor systems with I²C bus constraints. | Choose ADS1115IRUGT when multi-channel acquisition or differential measurement is required; avoid if SPI-only interface or lowest possible power is mandatory. |
| MCP3424-E/ST | 4-channel, I²C interface, 18-bit resolution, 3.75SPS–15SPS, internal reference (2.048V), no VCC-referenced mode - fixed reference limits input range flexibility. | Higher resolution but slower; internal reference improves absolute accuracy but prevents rail-to-rail scaling with supply. | Choose MCP3424-E/ST when absolute voltage accuracy is critical and speed is secondary; avoid when input range must track VCC or power budget is sub-30μW. |
Compared with ADS1115IRUGT and MCP3424-E/ST, the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF uniquely combines VCC-referenced rail-to-rail input, integrated oscillator, 50nA input current, and −40°C to +85°C operation in a 2mm × 2mm DFN - making it optimal for compact, low-power, single-input sensing where simplicity and supply tracking outweigh multi-channel or higher-resolution needs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF?
The LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF is rated for −40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade requirements. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, and applies across all performance parameters including offset error, gain error, and noise. The "I" grade designation in the part number explicitly denotes this extended temperature range.
Does the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF require an external crystal or clock source?
No, the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator that requires no external components. This is explicitly stated in the FEATURES list and verified in the PIN FUNCTIONS section, which notes "Internal Oscillator-No External Components Required." The oscillator drives the delta-sigma modulator and timing logic internally, simplifying design and reducing BOM cost.
How does the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF achieve rail-to-rail input operation?
The LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF achieves true rail-to-rail input (GND to VCC) by using VCC as its reference voltage and implementing a proprietary input sampling architecture. As documented in the DESCRIPTION and APPLICATIONS INFORMATION sections, the converter outputs "all zero" at GND and "all one" at VCC, with under-range and over-range clamping behavior confirmed in the Input Voltage Range subsection.
What is the typical power consumption of the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF at 1Hz output rate?
At 1Hz output rate and 2.7V supply, the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF consumes an average of less than 25μW - calculated from 350μA active current during 16.6ms conversion and <500nA sleep current for the remaining 983.4ms per second. This value is directly specified in the DESCRIPTION paragraph and validated by the Average Supply Power vs Temperature graph (Figure G10) in the datasheet.
Can the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF be used in 2-wire SPI mode?
Yes, the LTC2450IDC-1#TRPBF supports 2-wire operation by hardwiring CS to GND, as detailed in Figures 12 and 13 and the 2-Wire Operation subsection. However, this disables sleep mode and abort capability. The device remains functional with SCK and SDO only, supporting both CPOL = 0 and CPOL = 1 configurations, though CPOL = 1 is recommended for status monitoring in this mode.
