Product details
Overview
LTC2471IDD#TRPBF 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, draws 3.5mA typical supply current in conversion mode and 2µA max in sleep mode, and targets low-power sensor monitoring and embedded data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2471IDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC2471IDD#TRPBF application, or LTC2471IDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2ppm/°C reference drift (I-grade), ±1mV offset error, 0.01% gain error, single-cycle settling behavior, and DFN-12 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC2471IDD#TRPBF implements a proprietary input sampling scheme 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 it supports true single-conversion settling with no latency or filter delay.
It uses a 16-bit decimating sinc filter with oversampling ratios of 8,192 (at 208sps) or 2,048 (at 833sps), relaxing anti-aliasing requirements. The device transitions automatically between CONVERT, NAP (ADC off, reference on), and SLEEP (both ADC and reference off) states, achieving 200nA total shutdown current when both blocks are disabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit-provides 65,536 discrete output codes for high-fidelity analog measurement. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±3mV (1.247V–1.253V)-sets full-scale input range; stable over temperature with ±5ppm/°C max drift (I-grade). |
| Offset Error | ±1mV-ensures accurate zero-scale alignment without calibration in most industrial sensing applications. |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% of FS-minimizes span deviation across input range, critical for calibrated transducer interfaces. |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA typ (conversion), 2µA max (sleep)-enables battery-powered operation with rapid wake-up and low quiescent power. |
| Output Rate | Selectable 208sps or 833sps-supports trade-off between noise performance (lower rate) and throughput (higher rate). |
| Input Type | Single-ended (0V to VREF)-simplifies connection to ground-referenced sensors like RTDs, thermistors, and voltage outputs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic DFN (3mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13), rated for –40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V reference source; must be bypassed with ≤0.1µF capacitor to GND; not externally driven. |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Stabilizes internal reference; requires 0.1µF capacitor to GND; value must match or exceed REFOUT capacitor. |
| A0 (3) | I²C address select | Sets LSB of 7-bit I²C address: tied to GND → 0010100 (0x24), tied to VCC → 1010100 (0x54). |
| GND (4,7,11,13) | Ground return | Multiple ground pins-including exposed pad-require low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise and thermal resistance. |
| SCL (5) | I²C clock input | Accepts external master clock up to 400kHz; only functions as slave clock input, not output. |
| SDA (6) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output during data transfer; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 1.7kΩ to VCC). |
| REF– (8) | Reference ground reference | Sets zero-input point; must connect directly to system ground or sensor ground sense point. |
| IN (9) | Analog input (single-ended) | Accepts 0V to VREF input; designed for low-leakage, high-impedance sources due to 50nA avg. sampling current. |
| GND (10) | Input ground reference | Dedicated ground return for IN pin; improves PSRR and common-mode rejection in noisy environments. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local decoupling: 10µF bulk + 0.1µF ceramic in parallel, placed near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency conversion | Single-cycle operation delivers one valid 16-bit result per conversion with no filter settling delay-ideal for multiplexed sensor arrays. |
| Ultra-low input current | 50nA average sampling current enables direct RC filtering (e.g., 1kΩ/0.1µF) with <1LSB added error-eliminates need for buffer op-amps. |
| Integrated precision reference | 1.25V reference with ±5ppm/°C max drift (I-grade) and 0.1% initial accuracy-removes external reference component and layout complexity. |
| Configurable power states | Software-selectable Nap (ADC off) or Sleep (ADC + reference off) modes reduce current from 3.5mA to 2µA max-extends battery life in portable instruments. |
| Internal oscillator | Eliminates external crystal or clock source-reduces BOM count, board space, and startup time while maintaining timing accuracy. |

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 | 16-bit, 860sps max, internal 2.048V ref (±15ppm/°C), no integrated oscillator, requires external clock or crystal. | Higher gain options (up to 16x PGA), but larger offset drift and no auto-shutdown of reference. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR if programmable gain amplification is required; avoid if ultra-low drift or lowest sleep current is critical. |
| MCP3424-E/ST | 18-bit, 15sps/60sps/240sps, internal 2.048V ref (±15ppm/°C), no I²C address select pin, fixed conversion rates. | Higher resolution but slower max rate and less flexible power management-no sleep mode for reference. | Choose MCP3424-E/ST for ultra-high resolution at low speed; prefer LTC2471IDD#TRPBF for balanced speed/power/stability in industrial monitoring. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MCP3424-E/ST, the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF offers superior reference stability (±5ppm/°C vs ≥±15ppm/°C), lower sleep current (2µA vs ≥1µA with reference active), and true single-cycle settling-making it optimal for temperature-critical, battery-operated, or multiplexed sensor systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF?
The LTC2471IDD#TRPBF is specified for –40°C to +85°C operation (I-grade). This extended range ensures reliable performance in industrial environments, outdoor sensor nodes, and automotive under-hood applications where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely. The part maintains its 1.25V reference accuracy and 2ppm/°C drift specification across this full range, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet.
Does the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF require an external crystal or clock source?
No, the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF does not require an external crystal or clock source. It integrates a precision internal oscillator that drives the delta-sigma modulator and digital filter-eliminating external timing components and reducing BOM cost and board area. This oscillator is factory-trimmed and supports both 208sps and 833sps output rates without external configuration, as detailed in the "Ease of Use" and "Block Diagram" sections of the datasheet.
How does the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF achieve ultra-low input current?
The LTC2471IDD#TRPBF achieves 50nA average input sampling current via a proprietary input sampling architecture that minimizes charge injection and duty cycling of the input switch network-unlike conventional delta-sigma ADCs. This allows direct interface with simple RC filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) without significant measurement error, as validated in the Applications Information section and Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G06).
Can the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF operates fully across 2.7V to 5.5V, including standard 3.3V logic supplies. At 3.3V, it maintains all key specifications: 16-bit resolution, ±1mV offset error, 0.01% gain error, and 2µA max sleep current. The reference output remains stable at 1.25V (±3mV), and I²C timing complies with fast-mode (400kHz) requirements, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics tables for VCC = 2.7V, 4.1V, and 5.5V conditions.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on the LTC2471IDD#TRPBF?
COMP (Pin 2) is the internal reference compensation pin. It must be connected to a 0.1µF capacitor to GND to stabilize the integrated 1.25V reference and minimize transition noise. Critically, the COMP capacitor value must be ≥ the REFOUT capacitor value-violating this causes instability and increased noise, as explicitly stated in the Pin Functions section and illustrated in Figure F04 (Transition Noise vs Capacitance).
