Product details
Overview
LTC2471IDD#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 LTC2471IDD#PBF datasheet, LTC2471IDD#PBF pinout, LTC2471IDD#PBF application, or LTC2471IDD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2µA max sleep current, 2ppm/°C reference drift (I-grade), single-cycle conversion settling, and compatibility with RC anti-aliasing filters due to 50nA average input sampling current.
Technical Context
The LTC2471IDD#PBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma architecture with internal oscillator, no external clock required, and oversampling ratios of 8,192 (208sps) or 2,048 (833sps). Its input sampling scheme reduces average input current to 50nA, enabling direct RC filter interfacing without buffer amplifiers.
It supports two power states: NAP (ADC powered down, reference active, ~800µA typical supply current) and SLEEP (both ADC and reference powered down, ≤2µA max). Reference startup time is 12ms with 0.1µF COMP and REFOUT capacitors, and the device enters DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state automatically after conversion completion for immediate I²C readout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - Provides 65,536 distinct digital codes for high-fidelity analog measurement. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±3mV (1.247V–1.253V) - Sets full-scale input range; enables 0V to 1.25V single-ended measurement on LTC2471. |
| Reference Drift | ±5 ppm/°C (I-grade) - Ensures <±0.5 LSB drift over –40°C to +85°C, critical for uncalibrated temperature-sensitive applications. |
| Offset Error | ±1 mV (typ) - Translates to <±0.8 LSB at 1.25V reference, minimizing zero-point calibration burden. |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% FS (typ) - Limits full-scale scaling error to <±6.6 LSB, supporting accurate absolute voltage sensing. |
| Supply Current | 3.5 mA (typ, conversion), ≤2 µA (max, sleep) - Enables battery-powered operation with duty-cycled measurements. |
| I²C Speed | Up to 400 kHz - Compatible with standard/fast-mode I²C controllers without timing margin concerns. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 13 = GND). Thermal resistance θJA = 43°C/W. Requires low-impedance ground connection to exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V; sets ADC full-scale range; must be decoupled with ≤0.1µF capacitor to GND. |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Stabilizes internal reference; requires 0.1µF capacitor to GND; value must ≥ REFOUT capacitor. |
| A0 (3) | I²C address select | Configures slave address: 0010100 (A0=GND) or 1010100 (A0=VCC); enables dual-device bus sharing. |
| GND (4,7,11,13) | Ground reference | Multiple ground pins reduce noise coupling; exposed pad (13) must connect directly to PCB ground plane. |
| SCL (5) | I²C clock input | Slave-only interface; accepts external clock up to 400 kHz; rising edge clocks data into device. |
| SDA (6) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output during data transfer; requires external pull-up; transmits 16-bit result MSB-first. |
| REF– (8) | Reference negative input | Defines zero-input level; tied to system ground or sensor ground sense point for common-mode rejection. |
| IN (9) | Analog input (single-ended) | Accepts 0V to VREF (0–1.25V) signals; overrange (>VREF) outputs 0xFFFF, underrange (<0V) outputs 0x0000. |
| GND (10) | Input ground return | Dedicated ground path for analog input; separates signal return from power/IO grounds to minimize noise. |
| VCC (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 output | One-to-one correspondence between conversion completion and I²C data availability-no filter settling delay or redundant reads needed in multiplexed systems. |
| Ultra-low input current | 50nA average sampling current enables direct RC low-pass filtering (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) with <1 LSB added error-eliminates need for input buffers. |
| Configurable power modes | Software-selectable SPD (208/833sps) and SLP (NAP/SLEEP) bits allow dynamic trade-off between speed, accuracy, and energy per conversion. |
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates external clock components and associated layout complexity while maintaining precise oversampling ratio control. |
| Single-cycle settling | Conversion completes in fixed time (4.8ms or 1.2ms) with no latency-simplifies timing in time-triggered or event-driven acquisition systems. |

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, internal 2.048V ref (±15ppm/°C), no integrated oscillator, requires external clock for max speed. | Higher reference drift limits use in wide-temperature uncalibrated systems; lacks auto-shutdown and ultra-low input current. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR when cost sensitivity outweighs reference stability and input drive requirements. |
| MCP3424-E/SL | 18-bit, 15sps/60sps/240sps, 2.048V ref (±15ppm/°C), no sleep mode below 1µA, I²C address fixed (no A0 pin). | Slower max rate and higher reference drift constrain dynamic or battery-critical applications; no software-configurable power-down. | Choose MCP3424-E/SL only for static, high-resolution measurements where 240sps suffices and temperature range is limited. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MCP3424-E/SL, the LTC2471IDD#PBF uniquely combines I-grade reference stability (±5ppm/°C), 50nA input current, and sub-2µA sleep current-making it optimal for uncalibrated, wide-temperature, battery-constrained sensing where measurement integrity must persist across environmental stress.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2471IDD#PBF?
The LTC2471IDD#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). This extended range is validated across all key specifications including reference drift (±5 ppm/°C), offset error (±2.5 mV max), and supply current (≤2 µA sleep). The DFN package's exposed pad ensures reliable thermal performance under continuous operation within this envelope.
How does the LTC2471IDD#PBF achieve ultra-low input current?
The LTC2471IDD#PBF uses a proprietary input sampling architecture that reduces average input current to 50nA-several orders of magnitude lower than conventional delta-sigma ADCs. This allows direct connection of RC anti-aliasing filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) without buffer amplifiers, eliminating associated noise, power, and board space penalties while maintaining <1 LSB error.
Can the LTC2471IDD#PBF operate with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the LTC2471IDD#PBF operates over 2.7V to 5.5V, fully supporting 3.3V systems. At 3.3V, reference output remains 1.25V ±3mV, I²C logic thresholds scale correctly (VIH = 0.7×VCC ≈ 2.31V), and supply current is 2.5mA (typ, conversion) - all specified and tested per datasheet conditions.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on the LTC2471IDD#PBF?
The COMP pin (Pin 2) provides internal compensation for the integrated 1.25V reference. It must be connected to a 0.1µF capacitor to GND to ensure low-noise operation and stability. Critically, the COMP capacitor value must be ≥ the REFOUT capacitor value; violating this causes increased transition noise and potential reference instability.
Does the LTC2471IDD#PBF require an external crystal or clock source?
No, the LTC2471IDD#PBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external clock components. This simplifies layout, eliminates clock-related EMI, and guarantees precise oversampling ratios (8,192 at 208sps, 2,048 at 833sps) essential for relaxed anti-aliasing filter design and consistent noise shaping performance.
