Product details
Overview
LTC2461IDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with integrated 1.25V precision reference, single-ended input (0V to 1.25V), I²C interface, and ultra-low 200nA sleep current. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers 60 conversions per second, and targets high-accuracy sensor digitization in space-constrained industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2461IDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC2461IDD#TRPBF application, or LTC2461IDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed no-missing-codes performance, ±2 LSB typical offset error, 2ppm/°C reference drift (I-grade), 1.5mA active supply current, and compatibility with standard-mode and fast-mode I²C buses up to 400kHz.
Technical Context
The LTC2461IDD#TRPBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma architecture with continuous internal offset and full-scale calibration, eliminating user intervention while ensuring accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and time. Its integrated oscillator removes external timing components, and its input sampling scheme draws only 50nA average input current - enabling direct RC filtering without significant error.
It supports two I²C slave addresses (0010100b or 1010100b) via the A0 pin, includes programmable sleep mode (reference power-down), and delivers conversion results with zero latency - each 16-bit output corresponds one-to-one with the most recently completed conversion, making it ideal for multiplexed multi-channel sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| Input Range | 0V to 1.25V single-ended - matches internal reference; enables direct connection to ratiometric sensors. |
| Reference Accuracy | 1.25V ±0.1% initial, ±5 ppm/°C max drift (I-grade) - ensures stable full-scale definition across operating temperature. |
| Conversion Rate | 60 conversions/second - supports real-time monitoring of slow-varying physical parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure). |
| Supply Current | 1.5mA active, 200nA sleep - enables battery-powered operation for >10-year lifetime in low-duty-cycle IoT nodes. |
| I²C Interface | Standard/Fast-mode (0–400kHz), 7-bit address + R/W bit - interoperates with legacy and modern microcontrollers without protocol translation. |
| Offset Error | ±2 LSB typical - translates to <39 µV error at 1.25V FS, sufficient for 12-bit-equivalent system accuracy without trimming. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (DD package), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V; sets ADC full-scale; requires 0.1µF bypass to GND for noise suppression and stability. |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Connects to same 0.1µF capacitor as REFOUT; critical for minimizing reference voltage drift and noise. |
| A0 (3) | I²C address select | Logic level determines slave address: GND → 0010100b, VCC → 1010100b - enables dual-device addressing on same bus. |
| GND (4, 7, 11, 13) | Ground return | Multiple dedicated ground pins and exposed pad ensure low-impedance return path and thermal dissipation. |
| SCL (5) | I²C clock input | Slave-only interface; accepts external clock up to 400kHz; defines data sampling edges for SDA. |
| SDA (6) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; transmits 16-bit conversion result MSB-first on falling SCL edges. |
| REF– (8) | Reference negative input | Tied to system ground or sensor ground sense point; defines zero-scale input voltage for ADC. |
| IN (9) | Analog input (single-ended) | Accepts 0V to 1.25V signal; high-impedance input with 0.35pF sampling capacitance minimizes loading. |
| GND (10) | Input ground reference | Dedicated ground return for IN pin; isolates analog input path from digital noise sources. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing to maintain PSRR >80dB across frequency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.25V reference | 2ppm/°C max drift (I-grade) and 0.1% initial accuracy eliminate need for external precision reference and reduce BOM count. |
| Zero-latency data output | One-to-one mapping between conversion completion and 16-bit output ensures deterministic timing for multiplexed sensor arrays. |
| Continuous auto-calibration | Per-conversion offset and full-scale correction maintains accuracy over temperature and aging without interrupting operation. |
| Ultra-low input sampling current | 50nA average draw allows direct use of simple RC filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) with <1 LSB added error - simplifies anti-aliasing design. |
| Configurable sleep mode | Software-selectable reference shutdown reduces total current to 200nA, enabling multi-year battery life in wake-on-event applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit, 860SPS, PGA (±256mV to ±6.144V), no internal reference - requires external 2.048V ref for best accuracy. | Supports wider input ranges via PGA; better suited for mixed-signal systems needing programmable gain, but lacks integrated reference stability. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR when input signal amplitude varies widely and PGA flexibility outweighs reference integration benefits. |
| MCP3421A0T-E/CH | 18-bit, 15SPS, internal 2.048V reference (15ppm/°C), I²C interface - higher resolution but 4× slower and worse reference drift than LTC2461IDD#TRPBF. | Better resolution for static measurements; unsuitable for dynamic or temperature-critical applications due to reference drift and speed limitations. | Choose MCP3421A0T-E/CH only for ultra-high-resolution DC measurements where 15SPS and 15ppm/°C drift are acceptable. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MCP3421A0T-E/CH, the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF uniquely balances 16-bit no-missing-codes performance, integrated 2ppm/°C reference, 60SPS throughput, and 200nA sleep current - making it optimal for compact, battery-efficient, temperature-stable sensor nodes where reference autonomy and low power are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF?
The LTC2461IDD#TRPBF is specified for –40°C to +85°C operation (I-grade). This rating is validated across all electrical parameters including reference drift (±5 ppm/°C max), offset error (±2 LSB typical), and supply current (1.5mA active, 200nA sleep), ensuring reliable performance in industrial and automotive-adjacent environments where ambient temperature fluctuates widely.
Does the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external timing components. This eliminates board space, cost, and layout sensitivity associated with crystals or RC networks, while maintaining consistent 60 conversions per second timing across voltage (2.7V–5.5V) and temperature (–40°C to +85°C) variations - a key enabler for ultra-compact sensor node designs.
How does the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF handle input overrange or underrange conditions?
The LTC2461IDD#TRPBF clamps output codes at digital extremes: input < 0V yields 0x0000 (0 decimal), input > 1.25V yields 0xFFFF (65535 decimal). This behavior is deterministic and documented in the output data format table. No saturation recovery delay occurs, and subsequent conversions remain fully accurate - critical for fault-tolerant sensor systems detecting open-circuit or short-circuit conditions.
Can the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF be used with a 3.3V microcontroller I²C bus?
Yes, the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF supports standard- and fast-mode I²C (0–400kHz) with VIH = 0.7VCC and VIL = 0.3VCC logic thresholds. At VCC = 3.3V, it accepts 2.31V as high and 0.99V as low - fully compatible with 3.3V GPIOs. Its 10pF pin capacitance and 400pF bus load tolerance ensure robust communication even with longer traces or multiple slaves on the same bus.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF?
The COMP pin on the LTC2461IDD#TRPBF connects to the same 0.1µF capacitor as REFOUT and stabilizes the internal reference amplifier's feedback loop. Omitting or mismatching this capacitor degrades reference voltage temperature coefficient and increases output noise - violating the ±5 ppm/°C max drift specification. Proper COMP pin decoupling is mandatory for achieving datasheet accuracy across the full –40°C to +85°C range.
