Product details
Overview
LTC2472CDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit differential ΔΣ ADC with integrated 1.25V precision reference, SPI 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 high-accuracy sensor digitization in industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2472CDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC2472CDD#TRPBF application, or LTC2472CDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include differential input range (±VREF), 2μA max sleep current, 3.5mA typical conversion supply current, internal oscillator, and DFN-12 (3mm × 3mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2472CDD#TRPBF uses a proprietary ΔΣ architecture with oversampling ratios of 8,192 (208sps) or 2,048 (833sps), enabling relaxed anti-aliasing filter requirements. Its input sampling scheme reduces average input current to 50nA, minimizing external RC filter error.
It implements a three-state operation cycle-CONVERT, SLEEP/NAP, and DATA INPUT/OUTPUT-with automatic power-down after conversion. Reference startup time is 12ms (with 0.1µF COMP/REFOUT capacitors), and the device supports CPOL = 0 or 1 SPI timing modes without latency between conversion completion and data availability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit direct binary output - delivers 65,536 distinct codes for high-fidelity signal capture |
| Input Type | Differential (±VREF range) - rejects common-mode noise and enables bipolar sensor interfacing |
| Reference Output | 1.25V ±3mV (1.247V–1.253V), 2ppm/°C max drift - eliminates need for external reference in precision systems |
| Output Rate | User-selectable 208sps or 833sps - balances speed vs. noise performance without firmware changes |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA typ during conversion; 2μA max in sleep mode - enables battery-powered or ultra-low-power monitoring |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±2 LSB max at 208sps - ensures monotonicity and accuracy across full-scale range |
| Offset Error | ±1 mV max - minimizes zero-point calibration burden in sensor front-ends |
| SPI Interface | 4-wire, CPOL configurable, 2MHz max SCK - interoperates with standard microcontroller peripherals |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 13), RoHS-compliant, operating temperature range 0°C to 70°C (C-grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V reference voltage source; must be decoupled with ≤0.1µF capacitor to GND |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Stabilizes internal reference; requires 0.1µF capacitor to GND for optimal noise and startup behavior |
| 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 programming word (EN1/EN2/SPD/SLP) to configure output rate and sleep mode |
| SCK (5) | Serial clock input | Controls data timing; supports idle-high (CPOL=1) or idle-low (CPOL=0) modes up to 2MHz |
| SDO (6) | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit MSB-first result; valid after CS low, synchronized to SCK falling edges |
| GND (7, 11, 13) | Ground terminals | Three dedicated ground pins + exposed thermal pad - ensure low-impedance return path and thermal dissipation |
| REF– (8) | Negative reference input | Sets zero-input point; tied directly to system ground or sensor ground sense point |
| IN+ (9) | Positive differential input | Accepts high-side sensor signal; input leakage <±1nA enables direct RC filtering |
| IN– (10) | Negative differential input | Accepts low-side sensor signal; negligible leakage between IN+/IN– preserves CMRR |
| 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 data output | Conversion result available immediately after completion - no filter settling delay or redundant samples required for multiplexed inputs |
| Ultra-low input sampling current | 50nA average - allows direct connection of 1kΩ/0.1µF RC filters with <1 LSB added error |
| Auto shutdown architecture | ADC powers down automatically post-conversion; reference can be disabled via SLP bit to reach 2μA total sleep current |
| Integrated oscillator | No external crystal or clock source needed - simplifies BOM and layout while ensuring consistent timing |
| Relaxed anti-aliasing | Oversampling ratio of 8,192 (208sps) or 2,048 (833sps) - reduces analog filter complexity and component count |
| Single-cycle operation | Full conversion + data read completes in one deterministic cycle - predictable timing for real-time control loops |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit, I²C interface, no integrated reference (requires external VREF), 860sps max, 150µA active current | Lower integration; suited for I²C-based microcontrollers where SPI is unavailable or congested | Select when bus protocol compatibility outweighs reference stability and ultra-low sleep current needs |
| MCP3424-E/ST | 18-bit, I²C, internal 2.048V reference (15ppm/°C), 15sps/3.75sps/1.875sps, 145µA active current, no sleep mode | Higher resolution but slower speed and higher power; lacks programmable output rate and deep sleep capability | Prefer for static, high-precision DC measurements where throughput and power are secondary |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MCP3424-E/ST, the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF uniquely combines SPI interface, integrated 2ppm/°C reference, selectable 208/833sps rates, and 2μA sleep current - making it optimal for battery-operated, noise-sensitive, and space-constrained industrial sensing nodes requiring guaranteed monotonicity and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF?
The LTC2472CDD#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C (C-grade). This is confirmed in the "Order Information" table and "Absolute Maximum Ratings" section of the datasheet. For extended temperature operation, the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF (–40°C to 85°C, I-grade) is the direct variant with identical functionality and pinout.
Does the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external clock components. This is explicitly stated in the "Features" list and "Block Diagram" - the internal oscillator enables standalone operation and eliminates timing component dependencies in the design.
How does the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF achieve its 2μA sleep current specification?
The LTC2472CDD#TRPBF reaches 2μA max sleep current by powering down both the ADC core and the internal 1.25V reference when the SLP bit is set high during the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state. This dual-shutdown mode is detailed in the "Converter Operation" section and verified in the "Power Requirements" table under "Sleep" condition.
Can the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF interface directly with a thermocouple amplifier?
Yes - the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF's differential ±VREF input range, low input bias current (<1nA), and 16-bit resolution make it suitable for interfacing with thermocouple signal conditioners such as the AD8495. Its 2ppm/°C reference drift ensures cold-junction compensation accuracy remains uncompromised over temperature.
What is the conversion time for the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF at 833sps output rate?
At 833sps output rate (SPD = 1), the LTC2472CDD#TRPBF has a nominal conversion time of 1ms, with min/max values of 0.8ms/1.2ms across the full temperature range. This is specified in the "Timing Characteristics" table under parameter tCONV2 and applies to all operating conditions including VCC = 2.7V–5.5V.
