Product details
Overview
LTC2472CMS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with integrated 1.25V precision reference, differential ±VREF input range, selectable 208sps/833sps output rate, and SPI interface - designed for high-accuracy sensor digitization in industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2472CMS#PBF datasheet, LTC2472CMS#PBF pinout, LTC2472CMS#PBF application, or LTC2472CMS#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2ppm/°C reference drift, 1mV offset error, 0.01% gain error, single-cycle settling, and 2µA sleep current - all verified for the MSOP-12 package at 0°C to 70°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2472CMS#PBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma architecture with internal oscillator and no external timing components required. Its oversampling ratio is 8,192 at 208sps and 2,048 at 833sps, enabling relaxed anti-aliasing filter design while maintaining 16-bit resolution and <3µVRMS transition noise.
It operates from a single 2.7V–5.5V supply, supports SPI CPOL = 0 or 1 modes, and features automatic power-down after conversion. The reference startup time is 12ms (with 0.1µF COMP and REFOUT capacitors), and input sampling current is just 50nA - enabling direct RC filtering without significant error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output codes for high-fidelity analog measurement |
| Reference Output Voltage | 1.25V ±3mV - sets full-scale differential input range of ±1.25V with 2ppm/°C max drift (C-grade) |
| Offset Error | ±1mV - contributes ≤0.016% FS error at 1.25V full scale, critical for zero-point accuracy |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% of FS - ensures consistent scaling across temperature and supply voltage variations |
| Conversion Rate | Selectable 208sps or 833sps - enables trade-off between noise performance and update speed |
| Sleep Current | 2µA max - reduces system power during idle periods without losing configuration state |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with common industrial and battery-backed supply rails |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm), exposed pad optional, rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (Pin 1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V precision voltage source; requires 0.1µF bypass to GND for stability and low noise |
| COMP (Pin 2) | Reference compensation | Connects to 0.1µF capacitor to GND to control reference startup time and transition noise |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip select (active low) | Enables SDO output and initiates DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state; rising edge aborts transfer and starts new conversion |
| SDI (Pin 4) | Serial data input | Accepts 4-bit command (EN1/EN2/SPD/SLP) to configure output rate and sleep mode; can be tied to GND/VDD for fixed-rate operation |
| SCK (Pin 5) | Serial clock input | Drives SPI timing; supports CPOL = 0 or 1; falling edge clocks out data on SDO, rising edge latches SDI |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit MSB-first result; high-impedance when CS is high |
| GND (Pins 7, 11) | Ground | Primary analog/digital return path; multiple pins reduce ground impedance and improve PSRR |
| REF– (Pin 8) | Negative reference input | Sets zero-input level; must be connected to system ground or sensor ground sense point |
| IN+ (Pin 9) | Differential positive input | Accepts signal up to VREF; paired with IN– for true differential measurement rejecting common-mode noise |
| IN– (Pin 10) | Differential negative input | Accepts signal down to 0V; complements IN+ to enable ±1.25V input range with inherent CMRR |
| VCC (Pin 12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V input requiring local 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing for stable ADC and reference operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency delta-sigma conversion | Single-cycle settling with one-to-one correspondence between conversion and output - eliminates multiplexing delay compensation |
| Integrated 1.25V reference | 2ppm/°C max drift and 0.1% initial accuracy - removes need for external reference and associated layout complexity |
| Ultra-low input sampling current | 50nA average - allows direct connection of RC filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) with <1 LSB added error |
| Configurable power states | Auto NAP (ADC off, ref on) or user-triggered SLEEP (ADC + ref off → 2µA) - enables adaptive power management |
| Internal oscillator | No external crystal or clock required - simplifies BOM and PCB layout while ensuring consistent timing |
Applications
| Industrial Process Monitoring | Environmental Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Digitizing outputs from strain gauges, RTDs, and load cells in PLC analog input modules.

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 2.048V ref), 860sps max, 150nA input bias | Requires external reference and level-shifting for 5V systems; lacks SPI compatibility and auto-shutdown | Choose for I²C-based microcontrollers where bus simplicity outweighs reference integration and power efficiency |
| LTC2471CMS#PBF | Same family, single-ended input (0V to VREF), identical reference, package, and timing - differs only in IN+/IN– vs IN/GND pin mapping | Used where unipolar sensor outputs (e.g., 4–20mA receivers) eliminate need for differential rejection | Choose when redesigning for single-ended sources; shares same layout, firmware, and supply chain with LTC2472CMS#PBF |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and LTC2471CMS#PBF, the LTC2472CMS#PBF uniquely combines differential input, integrated 2ppm/°C reference, SPI interface, and 2µA sleep current in an MSOP-12 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, low-power industrial sensing where common-mode noise rejection and reference stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage specification for LTC2472CMS#PBF?
The LTC2472CMS#PBF features an integrated 1.25V reference with ±3mV initial tolerance (1.247V to 1.253V), 2ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient (C-grade), and 30nV/√Hz output noise density at 1ksps. This reference sets the full-scale differential input range of ±1.25V and is internally compensated via the COMP pin.
Does LTC2472CMS#PBF support both 208sps and 833sps output rates?
Yes, the LTC2472CMS#PBF supports user-selectable output rates of 208sps (oversampling ratio 8,192) and 833sps (oversampling ratio 2,048) via the SPD bit in the SDI programming command. These rates are also configurable by tying SDI to GND (208sps) or VDD (833sps), though sleep mode is disabled in that configuration.
What is the power consumption of LTC2472CMS#PBF in sleep mode?
In sleep mode - where both the ADC and integrated reference are powered down - the LTC2472CMS#PBF draws a maximum of 2µA supply current. This is confirmed across the full 0°C to 70°C operating range and enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered sensing nodes.
Can LTC2472CMS#PBF interface directly with high-impedance sensors?
Yes, the LTC2472CMS#PBF draws only 50nA average input sampling current and exhibits negligible leakage between IN+ and IN–. This allows direct connection of RC filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) with <1 LSB added error, making it suitable for thermistors, bridge sensors, and other high-Z sources without buffer amplifiers.
Is LTC2472CMS#PBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LTC247x family?
The LTC2472CMS#PBF shares the same MSOP-12 pinout and SPI register map with LTC2470CMS#PBF (single-ended) and LTC2471CMS#PBF (single-ended variant), enabling layout reuse. However, IN+ and IN– pins differ from IN and GND pins in the single-ended versions - requiring minor trace routing changes for differential operation.
