Product details
Overview
LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with single-ended input, I²C interface, and internal oscillator. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers ≤2 LSB INL and 0.02 LSB RMS noise, and supports programmable 30/60 sps conversion rates - ideal for low-power system monitoring and embedded sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF pinout, LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF application, or LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its ultra-low 50 nA average input sampling current, single-cycle settling for multiplexed inputs, integrated reference support (REF+/REF–), sleep-mode current <0.2 µA, and DFN-8 (3 mm × 2 mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma modulator core with on-chip oscillator and continuous internal offset calibration in 30 Hz mode. Its input sampling architecture draws only 50 nA average current, enabling direct RC filtering without buffer amplifiers.
It uses a hardwired I²C slave address (0010100b), supports standard/fast-mode I²C up to 400 kHz, and outputs 16-bit MSB-first data with no latency or filter delay. Conversion time is 33.2 ms (30 Hz mode) or 16.6 ms (60 Hz mode), and full-scale range is set by external differential reference voltage (VREF+ – VREF– ≥ 2.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| INL | ±2 LSB max - limits end-point linearity error to <0.03% of full scale at 16-bit resolution. |
| Offset Error | ±0.5 mV (30 Hz mode) - contributes <0.1 LSB error at 3 V full scale with 2.5 V reference. |
| Supply Current | 400 µA during conversion, <0.2 µA in sleep - enables battery-powered operation with sub-50 µW average power at 1 Hz read rate. |
| Input Sampling Current | 50 nA average - allows direct connection of 1 kΩ/0.1 µF RC filter with <1 LSB added error. |
| I²C Interface | 2-wire, 400 kHz max clock - compatible with standard microcontroller peripherals without custom timing logic. |
| Reference Input | Differential REF+/REF–, 2.5 V to VCC range - supports ratiometric or precision external references, including LT6660. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3 mm × 2 mm) plastic DFN (DDB), exposed pad (Pin 9) connected to GND. RoHS-compliant, 0°C to 70°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 5, 9) | Ground reference and thermal pad | Pins 1/5 are signal GND; Pin 9 is exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| REF– (Pin 2) | Negative reference input | Defines lower bound of input range; accepts 0 V to (VCC – 2.5 V); differential with REF+ sets full-scale span. |
| REF+ (Pin 3) | Positive reference input | Defines upper bound of input range; accepts (VCC – 2.5 V) to VCC; differential with REF– sets full-scale span. |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Positive supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply; requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling to GND (Pin 1). |
| IN (Pin 6) | Analog input | Single-ended input referenced to REF–/REF+; accepts VREF– to VREF+; 0.35 pF sampling capacitance. |
| SCL (Pin 7) | I²C clock input | Slave-only interface; accepts 0–400 kHz external clock; rising edge samples SDA, falling edge outputs data. |
| SDA (Pin 8) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output requiring external 1.7 kΩ pull-up to VCC; transmits 16-bit conversion result MSB-first. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low input sampling current | 50 nA average - eliminates need for input buffering and enables high-impedance sensor interfacing with minimal loading. |
| Single-cycle settling time | One conversion per channel access - removes dead time between multiplexed inputs, simplifying firmware for multi-sensor systems. |
| Auto shutdown after conversion | Enters <0.2 µA sleep mode automatically - reduces average power to <50 µW at 1 Hz read rate from 2.7 V supply. |
| Integrated oscillator | No external crystal or RC network required - eliminates BOM cost, layout area, and frequency drift concerns. |
| Continuous offset calibration (30 Hz mode) | Transparent internal correction over temperature and time - maintains ±0.5 mV offset spec without user intervention. |
Applications
| System Monitoring | Environmental Monitoring |
|---|---|

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 input mux, PGA (1–16×), 860 sps max, 150 nA input bias current | Supports differential/muxed inputs and programmable gain; higher power (150 µA active) | Choose ADS1115IDGSR when multi-channel scanning or signal amplification is required; LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF preferred for lowest input current and smallest footprint. |
| MCP3424-E/SL | 4-channel, 18-bit resolution, 3.75–15 sps, 2.5 µA typical supply current | Slower conversion, higher power, no auto-shutdown, requires external oscillator | Choose MCP3424-E/SL for higher resolution at low speed; LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF offers better power efficiency and simpler integration for 16-bit, 30–60 sps use cases. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MCP3424-E/SL, the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF delivers the lowest input sampling current (50 nA), smallest DFN-8 package (3 mm × 2 mm), and fully autonomous operation - making it optimal for ultra-low-power, space-constrained, single-input precision sensing where minimal external components are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF?
The LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to 70°C. This is confirmed by the "C" grade suffix in the part number and the ordering information table in the datasheet, which lists LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF under the 0°C to 70°C temperature range. The device uses the DDB (3 mm × 2 mm DFN) package with exposed pad grounded for thermal performance.
Does the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF require external components for basic operation?
No - the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF includes an integrated oscillator and requires no external clock components. For stable operation, only two decoupling capacitors are mandatory: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to Pins 4 and 1/5. No external reference, filter, or pull-up resistors are strictly required, though a 1.7 kΩ pull-up on SDA is needed for I²C communication.
How does the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF handle input overrange and underrange conditions?
The LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF clamps output codes at the extremes: for input voltages below VREF–, it outputs code 0x0000; for inputs above VREF+, it outputs code 0xFFFF. This behavior is explicitly defined in the Applications Information section, where it states that "in an underrange condition… the converter will generate the output code 0" and "in an overrange condition… the converter will generate the output code 65535."
What I²C address does the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF use, and is it configurable?
The LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF uses a fixed 7-bit I²C slave address of 0010100b (0x24). This address is factory-hardwired and not configurable. The device responds only to this address followed by a read (R=1) or write (W=0) bit. It does not support address pins or alternative addressing schemes - a detail confirmed in the "I2C INTERFACE" and "APPLICATIONS INFORMATION" sections of the datasheet.
Can the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF operate with a single-ended reference configuration?
Yes - the LTC2451CDDB#TRPBF supports single-ended reference configuration by connecting REF+ to VCC and REF– to GND. The datasheet explicitly states: "If VREF+ = VCC and VREF– = GND, the input voltage can range from GND to VCC." This setup enables rail-to-rail input operation without external reference components, simplifying design for non-ratiometric applications.
