Product details
Overview
LTC2462IMS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with integrated 1.25V precision reference, differential ±VREF input range, SPI interface, and MSOP-12 package. It delivers 60 conversions per second, 2 LSB offset error, 0.01% gain error, and operates from 2.7V to 5.5V supply - enabling high-accuracy sensor digitization in space-constrained industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2462IMS#PBF datasheet, LTC2462IMS#PBF pinout, LTC2462IMS#PBF application, or LTC2462IMS#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its differential input architecture, 2µA max sleep current, internal oscillator eliminating external timing components, and guaranteed no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2462IMS#PBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma modulator with sinc³ decimation filtering, continuous internal offset and full-scale calibration, and single-cycle conversion settling for multiplexed inputs. Its differential input stage accepts ±1.25V signals referenced to REF–, with overrange tolerance up to ±8 LSB beyond full scale.
It uses an internal oscillator (no external crystal required), supports CPOL = 0 or 1 SPI modes, and features automatic power-down after conversion - reducing supply current to 200nA when both ADC and reference are disabled. Reference startup time is 12ms with 0.1µF COMP and REFOUT capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and unambiguous digital representation of analog inputs. |
| Input Type | Differential (±VREF) - rejects common-mode noise and enables true bipolar signal measurement. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±3mV (1.247V–1.253V), 5ppm/°C max drift (I-grade) - provides stable full-scale scaling without external reference. |
| Conversion Rate | 60 conversions/second - supports real-time sampling of slow-varying physical parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure). |
| Supply Current | 1.5mA typical during conversion; 2µA max in sleep mode - enables battery-powered or ultra-low-power system operation. |
| Offset Error | 2 LSB max - limits zero-input output deviation to ≤0.038mV at VREF = 1.25V. |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% of full scale - contributes ≤1.25µV error per mV of input span. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm), exposed pad optional, rated for –40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V precision voltage source; must be bypassed with 0.1µF to GND for stability. |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Connects to 0.1µF capacitor to GND to stabilize internal reference loop dynamics. |
| CS (3) | Chip select (active low) | Enables SDO output and initiates DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state; HIGH places SDO in high-Z. |
| SDI (4) | Serial data input | Accepts 4-bit programming word (EN1/EN2/SPD/SLP); tied to GND/VCC for simplified configuration. |
| SCK (5) | Serial clock input | Controls data transfer timing; supports idle-high (CPOL=1) or idle-low (CPOL=0) SPI modes. |
| SDO (6) | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit conversion result MSB-first on SCK falling edges. |
| GND (7, 11) | Ground | Low-impedance return path for analog/digital circuits; pins 7 and 11 both connect to substrate ground. |
| REF– (8) | Negative reference input | Sets zero-input level; typically connected to system ground or remote sensor ground sense point. |
| IN+ (9) | Differential positive input | Accepts signal up to VREF; supports 8 LSB overrange below GND when IN– = GND. |
| IN– (10) | Differential negative input | Completes differential pair; enables rejection of shared noise between IN+ and IN– paths. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires 10µF + 0.1µF parallel bypassing at pin for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.25V reference | 5ppm/°C max drift (I-grade), 0.1% initial accuracy - eliminates external reference IC and associated layout complexity. |
| No-latency data output | Output corresponds exactly to last completed conversion - enables deterministic timing in multiplexed sensor systems. |
| Ultra-low input sampling current | 50nA average - allows direct connection of RC antialiasing filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) with <1 LSB error. |
| Auto shutdown architecture | Reduces supply current to 200nA when both ADC and reference are powered down - extends battery life in intermittent-read applications. |
| Internal oscillator | Eliminates need for external crystal or clock source - reduces BOM count and PCB area in compact designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit, I²C interface, no integrated reference (requires external 2.048V ref), 860SPS max, 150µA active current | Better suited for I²C-based microcontrollers; lacks differential input flexibility and ultra-low sleep current | Select when I²C bus availability outweighs need for lowest power and differential input robustness |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 16-bit, SPI interface, integrated 2.048V ref (2ppm/°C), 125SPS max, 350µA active current, 500nA sleep | Higher speed and lower reference drift, but larger 16-pin TQFN package and no overrange tolerance | Select when higher throughput and tighter reference stability are prioritized over board space and input overrange capability |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2462IMS#PBF offers superior differential input resilience, lowest sleep current (200nA), and smallest footprint (MSOP-12), making it optimal for space- and power-constrained industrial sensor nodes where SPI is available.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2462IMS#PBF?
The LTC2462IMS#PBF is specified for –40°C to +85°C operation (I-grade). This rating is confirmed by the "IMS" suffix in the part number and the Electrical Characteristics table's "l" notation indicating full-range specification compliance. The MSOP-12 package supports this extended range with θJA = 120°C/W.
Does the LTC2462IMS#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2462IMS#PBF does not require an external clock source. It includes a fully integrated oscillator, as explicitly stated in the Features list and Applications Information section. This eliminates the need for crystals, resonators, or external clock generators, simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
How does the LTC2462IMS#PBF handle input overrange conditions?
The LTC2462IMS#PBF supports up to ±8 LSB overrange beyond its ±VREF full-scale range. As documented in the Electrical Characteristics table and Figure 3, it can digitize inputs slightly below GND or above VREF while maintaining code integrity - a feature enabled by its proprietary input sampling architecture.
What is the reference voltage accuracy and drift specification for the LTC2462IMS#PBF?
The LTC2462IMS#PBF provides a 1.25V reference with ±3mV initial accuracy (1.247V to 1.253V) and maximum drift of ±5ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C. These values are directly extracted from the "Electrical Characteristics" table under VREF and "Reference Voltage Coefficient" rows for I-grade devices.
Can the LTC2462IMS#PBF be used in single-ended configurations?
No, the LTC2462IMS#PBF is exclusively a differential-input ADC. Its pinout (IN+, IN–) and functional description confirm it accepts only differential signals across ±VREF. For single-ended operation, the pin-compatible LTC2460IMS#PBF must be used - a distinct part with IN and GND pins instead of IN+ and IN–.
