Product details
Overview
LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with single-ended rail-to-rail input (0 V to VCC), SPI interface, and integrated oscillator. It delivers 2 LSB INL, 0.02 LSB RMS noise, 30 sps throughput, and auto-sleep mode drawing <200 nA - used in embedded environmental monitoring and low-power sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF application, or LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes resolution, internal reference operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, single-cycle settling for multiplexed inputs, ultra-low input sampling current (50 nA), and DFN-6 (2 mm × 2 mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF employs a delta-sigma modulator core with continuous internal offset and full-scale calibration per conversion, ensuring accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C) without user intervention. Its proprietary input sampling scheme reduces average input current by orders of magnitude versus conventional architectures.
It operates in three deterministic states - CONVERT (~33.3 ms), SLEEP (<200 nA), and DATA OUTPUT - controlled via a 3-wire SPI interface (CS, SCK, SDO). The internal oscillator eliminates external timing components, and the VCC pin serves as both supply and reference voltage, enabling true rail-to-rail input range (GND to VCC) with LSB scaling tied directly to supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full 65536-code output range across operating conditions. |
| INL | 2 LSB max - ensures linearity error remains below ±0.003% of full scale at 3 V or 5 V supply. |
| RMS Noise | 0.02 LSB - translates to ~1.4 µVRMS at 3 V reference, supporting high-fidelity low-level signal digitization. |
| Conversion Rate | 30 sps - fixed 33.3 ms conversion time enables predictable timing for multiplexed sensor polling. |
| Supply Current | 350 µA active, <200 nA sleep - enables battery-powered operation with sub-50 µW average power at 1 Hz sampling (2.7 V). |
| Input Range | GND to VCC, single-ended - eliminates need for external level-shifting or differential amplifiers in direct sensor interfacing. |
| Reference | Internal, tied to VCC - removes external reference IC, simplifies BOM, and scales LSB with supply (e.g., 45.8 µV/LSB at 3 V). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead, 2 mm × 2 mm plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 7 = GND, must be soldered to PCB ground plane).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply and reference voltage input | Must be bypassed with 10 µF || 0.1 µF capacitors close to pin; sets ADC full-scale range and LSB size. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Analog input | Single-ended, rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC); accepts direct connection to resistive sensors or transducer outputs. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog/digital ground reference | Low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane required to maintain reference stability and noise immunity. |
| CS (Pin 4) | Active-low chip select | Controls SDO output enable (LOW) and initiates DATA OUTPUT state; HIGH forces SDO into high-Z and triggers new conversion. |
| SDO (Pin 5) | 3-state serial data output | Outputs MSB-first 16-bit result during DATA OUTPUT; also 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 CPOL = 0 or 1; falling edge clocks data out on SDO; rising edge can latch data externally. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates external crystal/capacitor - reduces component count and board area while guaranteeing stable conversion timing. |
| Single-cycle settling | Enables reliable multiplexed operation without inter-channel settling delay or software wait states. |
| Auto-sleep mode | Reduces supply current to <200 nA between conversions - critical for multi-year battery life in remote sensing nodes. |
| Proprietary input sampling | 50 nA average input current allows direct RC filtering (e.g., 1 kΩ + 0.1 µF) with <1 LSB error - avoids buffer op-amps. |
| Continuous calibration | Per-conversion offset and full-scale correction ensures long-term accuracy without user-triggered recalibration routines. |

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), 860 sps max, no internal oscillator - requires external clock or MCU timing. | Supports differential inputs and PGA gain up to 16×; better for small-signal or multi-channel systems but lacks auto-sleep and rail-to-rail VIN. | Select ADS1115IRUGT when multi-channel acquisition or programmable gain is required; avoid if single-ended rail-to-rail input or ultra-low sleep current (<200 nA) is mandatory. |
| MCP3424-E/ST | 4-channel, I²C interface, 18-bit resolution, 3.75 sps (18-bit) to 15 sps (16-bit), internal reference only (2.048 V), no VCC-referenced operation. | Higher resolution but fixed 2.048 V reference limits input range to 0–2.048 V unless external scaling; no auto-sleep mode - minimum current 1 µA. | Select MCP3424-E/ST when absolute 18-bit accuracy is prioritized over supply-voltage scalability and ultra-low power; not suitable for direct VCC-referenced designs. |
Compared with LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF, ADS1115IRUGT offers channel flexibility and PGA but sacrifices rail-to-rail input and deep-sleep capability, while MCP3424-E/ST provides higher resolution at the cost of fixed reference, higher sleep current, and no VCC-scaling - making LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF optimal for ultra-compact, single-input, battery-critical applications demanding simplicity and supply-voltage adaptability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF?
The LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade), as confirmed by its "I" suffix and ordering information in the datasheet. This range applies to all electrical specifications including INL (2 LSB), offset error (2 LSB), and supply current (350 µA typical), ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments without derating.
Does the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF uses its VCC supply pin as the reference voltage - eliminating the need for external reference ICs or precision resistors. This internal referencing supports rail-to-rail input (0 V to VCC) and scales LSB size with supply voltage (e.g., 45.8 µV/LSB at 3 V), simplifying design and reducing BOM cost.
How does the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF achieve ultra-low input sampling current?
The LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF uses a proprietary input sampling architecture that reduces average input current to 50 nA - several orders of magnitude lower than conventional delta-sigma ADCs. This enables direct RC filtering (e.g., 1 kΩ + 0.1 µF) with <1 LSB error, avoiding buffer amplifiers and associated power/complexity.
Can the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF operate with a 2.7 V supply?
Yes, the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF is fully specified from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. At 2.7 V, it maintains 16-bit resolution, 2 LSB INL, and 350 µA supply current, with LSB size scaling to ~41.3 µV. Its internal oscillator and SPI interface remain functional across this entire range, supporting low-voltage battery operation.
What is the conversion time and settling behavior of the LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF?
The LTC2450IDC#TRMPBF has a fixed conversion time of 33.3 ms (typical), with 29–42 ms min/max across temperature. It achieves single-cycle settling - meaning each conversion result is fully settled and valid after one cycle, with no additional filter delay or latency - enabling deterministic timing for multiplexed sensor reads without software wait loops.
