Product details
Overview
LTC2470IMS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with integrated 1.25V precision reference, single-ended input (0V to VREF), SPI interface, and selectable 208sps/833sps output rate - designed for low-power system monitoring and embedded instrumentation where supply current ≤3.5mA (typ) and sleep current ≤2µA (max) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2470IMS#TRPBF pinout, LTC2470IMS#TRPBF application, or LTC2470IMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2ppm/°C reference drift (I-grade), ±1mV offset error, 0.01% gain error, single-cycle settling for multiplexed inputs, and MSOP-12 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2470IMS#TRPBF implements a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces average input current to 50nA - enabling direct RC filter interfacing without significant error. Its internal oscillator eliminates external timing components, and its no-latency ∆Σ architecture delivers one valid 16-bit result per conversion with no filter settling delay.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C (I-grade), supports 2.7V–5.5V supply, and uses SPI with CPOL = 0 or 1. Conversion time is 4.0ms (208sps) or 1.0ms (833sps); reference startup time is 12ms (with 0.1µF COMP/REFOUT capacitors), and power-down sequencing is fully controlled via SDI programming bits (SPD/SLP).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit direct binary output - delivers 65,536 discrete codes for high-fidelity analog measurement. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±3mV (1.247V–1.253V) - sets full-scale input range; enables accurate ratiometric or absolute measurements. |
| Reference Drift | ±5ppm/°C max (I-grade) - ensures <±0.5mV total drift over –40°C to +85°C, critical for uncalibrated industrial sensing. |
| Offset Error | ±1mV (typ), ±2.5mV (max) - directly impacts zero-point accuracy in pressure, temperature, or current sense applications. |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% (typ), ±0.25% (max) - limits full-scale linearity; supports <0.1% end-point accuracy after single-point calibration. |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA (typ, conversion), 2µA (max, sleep) - enables battery-powered operation >1 year on coin cell with periodic wake-up. |
| Input Type | Single-ended (IN to GND, 0V–VREF) - simplifies sensor interface vs differential; eliminates need for matched input paths. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm), exposed pad optional; RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V; sets ADC full-scale range; requires 0.1µF bypass to GND for stability and low noise. |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Connects to 0.1µF capacitor to GND; controls reference startup time and transition noise performance. |
| CS (3) | Chip select (active-low) | Enables SDO output and initiates DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state; rising edge aborts transfer and starts new conversion. |
| SDI (4) | Serial data input | Accepts 4-bit command (EN1/EN2/SPD/SLP) to configure output rate (208/833sps) and sleep mode (reference on/off). |
| SCK (5) | Serial clock input | Drives SPI timing; supports CPOL=0 or CPOL=1; falling edge clocks out data (SDO), rising edge latches input (SDI). |
| SDO (6) | Serial data output | 3-state output; delivers 16-bit MSB-first result; high-impedance when CS is high. |
| GND (7,11) | Ground | Primary analog/digital return; pins 7 and 11 must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| REF– (8) | Reference negative input | Tied to system ground or sensor ground sense point; defines zero-input level for ADC. |
| IN (9) | Analog input (single-ended) | Accepts 0V to VREF signal; low input leakage (<±1nA) minimizes RC filter error. |
| GND (10) | Input ground reference | Dedicated GND return for IN pin; improves PSRR and reduces ground bounce coupling. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing for stable reference and low-noise conversion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency ∆Σ architecture | Delivers one valid 16-bit result per conversion cycle - eliminates filter settling delay and enables true multiplexed channel sampling. |
| Proprietary input sampling | Reduces average input current to 50nA - allows direct use of 1kΩ/0.1µF RC filters with <1LSB added error. |
| User-selectable output rate | 208sps (4ms conv.) or 833sps (1ms conv.) - balances resolution, speed, and anti-aliasing filter complexity. |
| Integrated 1.25V reference | 2ppm/°C max drift (I-grade), 0.1% initial accuracy - removes need for external reference and saves PCB area/cost. |
| Configurable power management | Programmable sleep mode reduces current to 2µA (max); reference can be powered down independently to optimize energy use. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 4-channel, I²C interface, no integrated reference (requires external 2.048V ref), 880µA active current. | Better for multi-channel, low-pin-count I²C systems; lacks sleep mode below 150µA. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR if I²C bus integration and 4-channel scanning outweigh need for ultra-low sleep current and integrated reference. |
| MCP3424-E/ST | 4-channel, I²C, 2.048V internal reference (15ppm/°C), 1mA active current, no sleep mode. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial sensors; higher reference drift limits uncalibrated accuracy over temperature. | Choose MCP3424-E/ST when board space is constrained and 4-channel acquisition justifies trade-off in reference stability and power efficiency. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MCP3424-E/ST, the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF uniquely combines integrated 1.25V reference (±5ppm/°C), 2µA sleep current, and SPI interface in an MSOP-12 package - making it optimal for single-channel, battery-powered, or thermally demanding applications requiring long-term accuracy without calibration.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF?
The LTC2470IMS#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters including reference drift (±5ppm/°C max), offset error (±2.5mV max), and supply current (2µA max in sleep mode). The MSOP-12 package's θJA of 130°C/W supports reliable operation in sealed enclosures without forced airflow.
Does the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator - no external timing components are required. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and eliminates oscillator start-up delays or frequency tolerance concerns. The internal clock enables guaranteed conversion times of 4.0ms (208sps) or 1.0ms (833sps) across the full temperature and supply range.
How does the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF achieve 2µA sleep current?
The LTC2470IMS#TRPBF achieves ≤2µA sleep current by powering down both the ADC core and the integrated 1.25V reference when configured in sleep mode (SLP = 1 via SDI). Reference shutdown eliminates ~3.5mA quiescent draw; only bias circuitry remains active. Wake-up occurs automatically on CS assertion, with reference settling time determined by COMP/REFOUT capacitor values (e.g., 12ms for 0.1µF).
Can the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF interface directly with a thermistor or RTD bridge?
Yes, the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF supports direct connection to resistive sensors via its low-input-current architecture (50nA average). When paired with a simple 1kΩ series resistor and 0.1µF capacitor, the resulting RC filter introduces <1LSB error - eliminating need for op-amp buffers or complex anti-aliasing networks. Its 0V–VREF input range aligns naturally with ratiometric bridge excitation schemes.
Is the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LTC247x family?
Yes, the LTC2470IMS#TRPBF is pin- and software-compatible with the LTC2472 (differential version) and shares identical MSOP-12 pinout and SPI command structure. This allows hardware reuse across single-ended and differential designs, and simplifies firmware development - only the input configuration (IN vs IN+/IN–) and data interpretation differ between variants.
