Product details
Overview
LTC2450IDC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired 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#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2450IDC#TRPBF pinout, LTC2450IDC#TRPBF application, or LTC2450IDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes resolution, internal reference tied to VCC, single-cycle settling for multiplexed inputs, and ultra-low 50 nA average input sampling current enabling direct RC filter interfacing without buffering.
Technical Context
The LTC2450IDC#TRPBF employs a delta-sigma modulator core with continuous internal offset and full-scale calibration per conversion, ensuring stability over temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and time without user intervention. Its proprietary input sampling scheme reduces average input current to 50 nA, eliminating need for external op-amp drivers in many sensor applications.
It operates exclusively from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, using VCC as both power source and reference voltage - resulting in fixed 1 LSB = VCC / 65536. Conversion time is fixed at 33.3 ms (max 42 ms), enabling deterministic timing for microcontroller polling or status monitoring via SDO pin.
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, critical for precision measurement systems. |
| RMS Noise | 0.02 LSB - translates to ~1.4 µVRMS at 3 V supply, enabling sub-millivolt signal resolution without oversampling. |
| Conversion Rate | 30 sps - fixed 33.3 ms cycle time supports deterministic firmware scheduling and eliminates filter settling delays. |
| Supply Current | 350 µA active, <200 nA sleep - enables battery-powered operation for >1 year on a CR2032 when sampling once per second. |
| Input Sampling Current | 50 nA average - allows direct connection of 1 kΩ/0.1 µF RC anti-aliasing filter with <1 LSB error, removing need for buffer amplifier. |
| Reference | VCC (2.7 V to 5.5 V) - eliminates external reference component; LSB size scales with supply, preserving 16-bit effective resolution. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead, 2 mm × 2 mm plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 7 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| 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 full-scale range and LSB value (VCC/65536). |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Analog input | Single-ended, rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC); accepts true DC signals without level-shifting or biasing networks. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog and digital ground | Low-impedance connection to system ground plane required; shares reference return path with VCC. |
| 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) | Three-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 | Edge-triggered (rising or falling depending on CPOL); synchronizes bit transfer; idle-high (CPOL=1) or idle-low (CPOL=0) supported. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates all external timing components - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while guaranteeing consistent conversion timing. |
| Single-cycle settling | Enables true multiplexed operation: each channel conversion completes fully before next sample begins, avoiding inter-channel crosstalk or settling errors. |
| Auto-sleep mode | Enters <200 nA quiescent state after conversion completion; wakes instantly on CS or SCK activity - ideal for intermittent sensing. |
| Continuous calibration | Per-conversion offset and full-scale correction runs transparently - maintains accuracy across –40°C to +85°C without calibration registers or host intervention. |
| Ultra-low input sampling current | 50 nA average draw allows direct RC filtering (e.g., 1 kΩ/0.1 µF) with <1 LSB error - removes need for power-hungry op-amp buffers in sensor front-ends. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF?
The LTC2450IDC#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade), as confirmed by its part number suffix "I" and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This range is validated across all key specifications including INL, offset error, and supply current - ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments such as factory floors or outdoor sensor enclosures. The LTC2450IDC#TRPBF maintains its 2 LSB INL and 350 µA supply current within this full range.
Does the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator that requires no external components - a key differentiator confirmed in the Features list and Functional Block Diagram. This oscillator drives the delta-sigma modulator and defines the fixed 33.3 ms conversion time. Using the internal oscillator eliminates BOM cost, board space, and layout sensitivity associated with external timing elements, and is explicitly stated as "no external components required" in the datasheet.
Can the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF measure signals from 0 V to VCC without external level-shifting?
Yes, the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF supports true rail-to-rail single-ended input from 0 V to VCC, as specified in the Input Voltage Range section and confirmed by the "GND to VCC Single-Ended Input Range" feature bullet. When VCC = 3.3 V, the input range is exactly 0 V to 3.3 V; at VCC = 5 V, it is 0 V to 5 V. This eliminates need for biasing resistors or op-amp level shifters when interfacing with most sensors and transducers, and is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +85°C range.
How does the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF achieve such low input sampling current?
The LTC2450IDC#TRPBF uses a proprietary input sampling architecture that reduces average input current to 50 nA - documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under "ICONV" and explained in the Applications Information section. This is achieved through optimized charge redistribution and duty-cycled sampling, enabling direct RC filter interfacing (e.g., 1 kΩ/0.1 µF) with <1 LSB error. Unlike conventional delta-sigma ADCs, this architecture avoids continuous input loading, making the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF uniquely suitable for high-impedance sensor sources.
Is the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC245x family?
Yes, the LTC2450IDC#TRPBF shares the identical 6-lead 2 mm × 2 mm DFN package and pinout with LTC2451 and LTC2452, as verified in their respective datasheet pin configuration diagrams and ordering tables. All three devices use VCC, VIN, GND, CS, SDO, and SCK on the same pins with identical functions - allowing hardware reuse across variants differing only in interface (SPI vs I²C) or input type (single-ended vs differential). This compatibility is explicitly maintained across Linear's documentation.
