Product details
Overview
LTC2472IDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with integrated 1.25V precision reference, differential ±VREF input range, and user-selectable 208sps/833sps output rate. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, features SPI interface, and delivers 2ppm/°C reference drift, ±1mV offset error, and 0.01% gain error - ideal for high-accuracy industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2472IDD#PBF datasheet, LTC2472IDD#PBF pinout, LTC2472IDD#PBF application, or LTC2472IDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential input architecture, ultra-low 2µA sleep current, single-cycle conversion settling, internal oscillator, and compatibility with multiplexed sensor arrays requiring no latency or external clocking.
Technical Context
The LTC2472IDD#PBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma modulator with sinc³ decimation filtering and oversampling ratios of 8,192 (208sps) or 2,048 (833sps), enabling relaxed anti-aliasing filter requirements. Its differential input stage accepts ±1.25V full-scale signals referenced to REF–, supporting true bipolar measurement without level-shifting.
Conversion control is fully managed via SPI: CS initiates data transfer, SCK clocks 16-bit serial output (MSB-first), and SDI accepts 4-bit configuration commands (SPD/SLP bits) during the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state. The internal reference powers up in 12ms (with 0.1µF COMP/REFOUT caps) and supports automatic shutdown after conversion when SLP = 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit direct binary output - delivers 65,536 discrete codes for high dynamic range measurements. |
| Input Configuration | Differential (±VREF) - enables rejection of common-mode noise in noisy industrial environments. |
| Reference Accuracy | 1.247V to 1.253V (±0.1% initial), 2ppm/°C max drift - ensures stable full-scale calibration across –40°C to +85°C. |
| Offset Error | ±1mV (typ) - limits zero-scale uncertainty to <0.08% of full-scale at 1.25V reference. |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% of FS - maintains linearity accuracy critical for calibrated transducer interfaces. |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA (typ) during conversion; 2µA (max) in sleep mode - enables battery-powered remote sensing. |
| Conversion Time | 4.0ms (208sps) or 1.0ms (833sps) - supports deterministic timing for time-triggered acquisition systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 13), rated for –40°C to +85°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 | Connects to 0.1µF capacitor to GND; sets reference startup time and transition noise performance. |
| 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 command (EN1/EN2/SPD/SLP) to configure output rate and sleep mode during data readback. |
| SCK (5) | Serial clock input | Drives synchronous SPI interface; supports up to 2MHz; falling edge clocks out each data bit on SDO. |
| SDO (6) | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit MSB-first result; high-impedance when CS is high. |
| GND (7,11,13) | Ground terminals | Three dedicated ground pins + exposed pad - ensure low-impedance return path for analog/digital/reference sections. |
| REF– (8) | Negative reference input | Sets zero-input point; tied directly to system ground or sensor ground sense for accurate differential measurement. |
| IN+ (9) | Positive differential input | Accepts signal up to VREF; paired with IN– for true differential measurement with common-mode rejection. |
| IN– (10) | Negative differential input | Accepts signal down to 0V; complements IN+ to define full-scale range as (IN+ – IN–) = ±VREF. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V input; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing to minimize supply noise coupling into reference/ADC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency delta-sigma architecture | Delivers one valid 16-bit result per conversion cycle with zero filter settling delay - eliminates dead-time in multiplexed sensor systems. |
| Proprietary input sampling scheme | Reduces average input current to 50nA - allows direct connection of RC antialiasing filters (e.g., 1kΩ/0.1µF) with <1LSB error. |
| Auto power-down sequencing | ADC shuts down automatically post-conversion; reference can be disabled via SLP bit to achieve 2µA total sleep current. |
| Internal oscillator | Eliminates need for external crystal or clock source - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| Single-cycle conversion settling | Guarantees full 16-bit accuracy within one conversion period (4ms or 1ms) - simplifies timing control in real-time systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPW | 24-bit resolution, 2.5V internal reference (5ppm/°C), SPI interface, no integrated oscillator - requires external clock. | Better resolution but higher power (350µA active); suited for lab-grade instrumentation vs. industrial field sensors. | Choose ADS124S08IPW when 24-bit resolution and programmable gain amplifier (PGA) are required; avoid if board space or external clocking is constrained. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 18-bit resolution, 1.25V reference (10ppm/°C), I²C interface, 1.8–3.6V supply only - incompatible with 5V systems. | Lower supply range and I²C interface simplify microcontroller integration but limit use in 5V PLC or transmitter designs. | Choose MAX11206ETL+ for low-voltage portable devices with I²C masters; avoid for 5V industrial systems or SPI-only host architectures. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPW and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2472IDD#PBF offers optimal balance of 16-bit precision, ultra-low sleep current, integrated oscillator, and 2.7–5.5V flexibility - making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial sensor nodes requiring guaranteed single-cycle accuracy.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2472IDD#PBF?
The LTC2472IDD#PBF is specified for –40°C to +85°C operation, matching the "I" grade designation in its part number. This extended range supports deployment in harsh industrial environments such as factory floors, outdoor metering, and automotive under-hood sensing where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits.
Does the LTC2472IDD#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2472IDD#PBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external clock components. This eliminates timing component count and layout sensitivity, simplifying design for compact sensor modules and reducing risk of clock-related EMI or jitter-induced measurement errors in the LTC2472IDD#PBF.
How does the LTC2472IDD#PBF achieve ultra-low input current?
The LTC2472IDD#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 enables direct interfacing with RC antialiasing filters (e.g., 1kΩ/0.1µF) without introducing significant measurement error in the LTC2472IDD#PBF.
Can the LTC2472IDD#PBF operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the LTC2472IDD#PBF supports supply voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V, including standard 3.3V rails. At 3.3V, it maintains full 16-bit performance, 2ppm/°C reference drift, and 3.5mA typical conversion current - making it compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and isolated power domains in the LTC2472IDD#PBF.
What is the function of the COMP pin on the LTC2472IDD#PBF?
The COMP pin on the LTC2472IDD#PBF connects to a 0.1µF capacitor to ground and controls internal reference stability and startup behavior. It determines reference turn-on time (12ms typical) and transition noise - undersizing this capacitor reduces startup time but increases RMS noise, directly impacting measurement repeatability in the LTC2472IDD#PBF.
