Product details
Overview
LTC2470CMS#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 VREF), and SPI interface. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers selectable 208sps or 833sps output rates, and achieves ±1mV offset error, ±0.01% gain error, and 2ppm/°C reference drift - enabling high-accuracy sensor digitization in space-constrained industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2470CMS#TRPBF pinout, LTC2470CMS#TRPBF application, or LTC2470CMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its auto-shutdown current (200nA sleep mode), no-latency conversion architecture, internal oscillator (no external timing components), and MSOP-12 package compatibility with legacy board layouts requiring minimal redesign.
Technical Context
The LTC2470CMS#TRPBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma modulator with oversampling ratios of 8,192 (208sps) or 2,048 (833sps), relaxing anti-aliasing filter requirements. Its integrated reference features 1.247V–1.253V initial output and ±2ppm/°C drift over 0°C to 70°C, directly setting the ADC's full-scale range.
Conversion settling is single-cycle with no latency; after completion, the device automatically enters NAP mode (ADC powered down, reference active) or SLEEP mode (both powered down) based on SDI-programmed SLP bit. Input sampling draws only 50nA average current, enabling direct RC filtering without significant error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 distinct digital codes for high-fidelity sensor signal capture |
| Output Rate | Selectable 208sps or 833sps - supports both high-precision slow-scan and faster process monitoring |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±2.5mV (±0.1% initial accuracy) - sets absolute input full-scale without external components |
| Offset Error | ±1mV (max) - ensures <0.1%FS error at zero input, critical for baseline-critical measurements |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% of full scale - maintains linearity across temperature and supply voltage variations |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA typical during conversion; 200nA max in sleep mode - enables battery-powered longevity |
| Reference Drift | ±2ppm/°C (C-grade) - contributes <±0.0002%FS/°C error, essential for uncalibrated thermal stability |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm), exposed pad optional, rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (Pin 1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V precision voltage source; must be decoupled with ≤0.1µF capacitor to GND |
| COMP (Pin 2) | Reference compensation | Stabilizes internal reference; requires 0.1µF capacitor to GND - value must match or exceed REFOUT cap |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip select (active low) | Enables SPI data transfer; HIGH places SDO in high-impedance state and ignores SDI/SCK inputs |
| SDI (Pin 4) | Serial data input | Accepts 4-bit command (EN1/EN2/SPD/SLP) to configure output rate and sleep mode |
| SCK (Pin 5) | Serial clock input | Drives SPI timing; supports up to 2MHz; data latched on rising edge, output shifted on falling edge |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit conversion result MSB-first; Hi-Z when CS = HIGH |
| GND (Pins 7, 11) | Ground | Primary analog/digital return; multiple pins reduce ground impedance and improve noise immunity |
| REF– (Pin 8) | Negative reference input | Sets ADC zero-scale point; tied directly to system ground or sensor ground sense |
| IN (Pin 9) | Single-ended analog input | Accepts 0V to VREF (0–1.25V) signals; no internal bias required |
| GND (Pin 10) | Input ground reference | Dedicated ground return for IN pin - improves PSRR and reduces common-mode error |
| VCC (Pin 12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires 10µF + 0.1µF parallel bypassing at pin for stable conversion performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency delta-sigma architecture | Delivers one valid 16-bit result per conversion cycle with zero filter settling delay - ideal for multiplexed sensor arrays |
| Integrated 1.25V reference with 2ppm/°C drift | Eliminates external reference IC and calibration, reducing BOM count and long-term drift uncertainty in field-deployed systems |
| 50nA average input sampling current | Permits direct connection of RC anti-alias filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) with <1LSB added error - simplifies front-end design |
| Auto shutdown to 200nA sleep current | Extends battery life in portable instrumentation; reference and ADC power down together when SLP = 1 |
| Internal oscillator | Removes need for external crystal or clock generator - reduces layout area and EMI susceptibility |

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, I²C interface, no integrated reference, 860μA active current, 150nA shutdown | Requires external reference and level-shifting for 5V systems; better suited for multi-drop I²C bus architectures | Choose ADS1115IDGSR when I²C bus simplicity outweighs need for integrated reference and lowest sleep current |
| LTC2471IMS#TRPBF | Identical pinout/package; differential input (±VREF range), same reference specs and power modes | Supports bipolar signal acquisition (e.g., strain gauges, bridge sensors); not suitable for single-ended 0–VREF sources | Choose LTC2471IMS#TRPBF when measuring differential sensor outputs where common-mode rejection is required |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF?
The LTC2470CMS#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation (C-grade). Its integrated 1.25V reference exhibits ±2ppm/°C maximum drift across this range, and all electrical characteristics - including ±1mV offset error and 3.5mA typical supply current - are guaranteed within these limits. The MSOP-12 package uses standard JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 handling.
Does the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external clock components. This eliminates timing component count, board area, and potential EMI sources. The internal oscillator drives the delta-sigma modulator and digital logic, enabling full functionality with only VCC, GND, REFOUT/COMP decoupling, and SPI lines connected.
How does the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF achieve 200nA sleep current?
The LTC2470CMS#TRPBF reaches 200nA sleep current by powering down both the ADC core and the integrated reference simultaneously when the SLP bit is set high via SDI programming. In this state, only leakage paths remain active. The reference startup time after wake-up depends on COMP and REFOUT capacitor values - 12ms typical with 0.1µF caps - and the first conversion post-wake is invalid until stabilization.
Can the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF interface directly with a microcontroller's SPI peripheral?
Yes, the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF supports standard SPI timing with CPOL = 0 or CPOL = 1, 2–4 wire operation, and 2MHz max SCK frequency. It outputs 16-bit MSB-first data on SDO, accepts 4-bit configuration commands on SDI, and uses active-low CS for frame synchronization - matching common MCU SPI controller configurations without glue logic.
What is the input voltage range of the LTC2470CMS#TRPBF?
The LTC2470CMS#TRPBF has a single-ended input (IN pin) with a 0V to VREF range, where VREF is the internal 1.25V reference (1.247V–1.253V). Inputs below 0V clamp to code 0; inputs ≥VREF clamp to code 65535. No external biasing or level-shifting is needed, and the input draws only 50nA average sampling current - enabling direct RC filtering.
