Product details
Overview
LTC2471CDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit single-ended delta-sigma ADC with integrated 1.25V precision reference, I²C interface, and selectable 208sps/833sps output rate. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers ±1 mV offset error and ±0.01% gain error, and targets low-power sensor monitoring in industrial and environmental systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2471CDD#PBF datasheet, LTC2471CDD#PBF pinout, LTC2471CDD#PBF application, or LTC2471CDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200nA sleep current, 3.5mA typical conversion supply current, single-cycle settling behavior for multiplexed inputs, and DFN-12 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC2471CDD#PBF implements a proprietary input sampling architecture that reduces average input current to 50nA-several orders of magnitude lower than conventional delta-sigma converters-enabling direct RC filter interfacing without significant error. Its internal oscillator eliminates external timing components, and its auto-shutdown logic powers down the ADC after each conversion unless configured for continuous mode.
It supports two I²C slave addresses (0010100b or 1010100b) via the A0 pin, uses open-drain SDA with external pull-up, and outputs 16-bit binary data with no latency or filter settling delay. The integrated reference exhibits ±2ppm/°C max drift over 0°C to 70°C and maintains 1.247V–1.253V output across supply and temperature.

Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13), rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V precision voltage source; must be bypassed with ≤0.1µF capacitor to GND for stability. |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Requires 0.1µF capacitor to GND; sets reference loop stability and noise performance. |

| SCL (5) | I²C clock input | Accepts external master clock up to 400kHz; device acts only as slave with no clock generation. |
| SDA (6) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; transmits 16-bit result MSB-first on falling SCL edges. |
| REF– (8) | Reference ground reference | Connects to system ground or sensor ground sense point; defines zero-input level for ADC transfer function. |
| IN (9) | Analog input | Single-ended input node (LTC2471-specific); accepts 0V to VREF (0–1.25V) with no external bias required. |
| GND (10) | Input ground reference | Dedicated GND for IN pin-minimizes ground bounce and improves PSRR in noisy environments. |
| VCC (12) | Power supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF parallel bypassing for clean reference and conversion performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency conversion output | One-to-one correspondence between completed conversion and I²C data-eliminates multiplexing delays and simplifies firmware. |
| Ultra-low input sampling current | 50nA average-permits direct use of simple RC anti-alias filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) with <1 LSB added error. |
| Auto power-down modes | ADC-only nap (800µA typ) or full sleep (200nA max) with programmable SLP bit-reduces average power in duty-cycled systems. |
| Integrated reference with low drift | ±2ppm/°C max tempco over 0°C–70°C-enables stable measurements without external reference calibration. |
| Internal oscillator | No external crystal or RC network required-reduces BOM count and layout complexity while ensuring consistent oversampling ratio. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2471CDD#PBF?
The LTC2471CDD#PBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation. This C-grade temperature range is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet. The device's reference drift is guaranteed at ±2ppm/°C across this full range, and all key parameters-including offset error, gain error, and supply current-are tested and characterized within these limits. Operation outside this range may result in unvalidated performance or reliability risk.
Does the LTC2471CDD#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2471CDD#PBF does not require an external clock source. It integrates a precision internal oscillator that drives the delta-sigma modulator and digital filter, enabling fully autonomous operation. This eliminates the need for crystals, resonators, or external RC networks-reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB layout complexity. The I²C interface remains synchronous to the host controller's SCL signal, but the ADC's core conversion timing is self-contained.
How does the sleep mode function in the LTC2471CDD#PBF?
In sleep mode, the LTC2471CDD#PBF powers down both the ADC core and the integrated 1.25V reference, reducing supply current to ≤200nA. This state is entered by setting the SLP bit high during the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT phase. Upon a valid I²C address acknowledge, the reference restarts (12ms typical with 0.1µF capacitors), followed by ADC reactivation and a new conversion. Sleep mode is ideal for ultra-low-duty-cycle sensor polling where power savings outweigh startup latency.
Can the LTC2471CDD#PBF interface directly with a thermistor without external amplification?
Yes-the LTC2471CDD#PBF can interface directly with a thermistor configured in a voltage-divider topology referenced to its internal 1.25V REFOUT. With a 0–1.25V input range, typical NTC thermistors (e.g., 10kΩ at 25°C) yield ~0.2V–1.0V across the operating range, fitting well within the ADC's linear span. Its 50nA input sampling current minimizes self-heating error, and the absence of latency allows immediate digitization after multiplexer settling-no additional op-amp buffering is required.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the LTC2471CDD#PBF?
The LTC2471CDD#PBF supports I²C fast-mode operation up to 400kHz, as confirmed in the I²C Timing Characteristics table. All timing parameters-including tLOW, tHIGH, tSU(DAT), and tHD(DAT)-are specified and guaranteed across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range and 2.7V–5.5V supply. This allows seamless integration with modern microcontrollers and FPGAs without requiring clock stretching or custom timing adjustments.
