Product details
Overview
LTC2472IDD#TRPBF 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 or 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 - enabling high-accuracy sensor digitization in industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2472IDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC2472IDD#TRPBF application, or LTC2472IDD#TRPBF 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#TRPBF implements a proprietary delta-sigma modulator with sinc³ decimation filtering and an oversampling ratio of 8,192 (at 208sps) or 2,048 (at 833sps), relaxing anti-aliasing filter requirements. Its differential input stage accepts ±1.25V full-scale signals referenced to REF–, supporting true bipolar measurement without level-shifting circuitry.
Conversion control is managed via SPI with CS-active-low protocol; the device transitions automatically between CONVERT, NAP, and DATA INPUT/OUTPUT states. Reference startup time is 12ms (with 0.1µF COMP and REFOUT capacitors), and the internal oscillator eliminates external timing components - critical for space-constrained embedded designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 distinct output codes for high-fidelity analog sensing. |
| Reference Output | 1.25V ±3mV (1.247V–1.253V) - sets full-scale differential input range of ±1.25V. |
| Reference Drift | ±5ppm/°C (I-grade) - ensures <±0.5mV total drift over –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
| Offset Error | ±1mV (typ) - enables sub-LSB accuracy in low-level signal acquisition (e.g., thermocouple outputs). |
| Gain Error | ±0.01% FS (typ) - supports precise ratiometric measurements with stable excitation sources. |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA (typ, conversion), 2µA (max, sleep) - allows battery-powered operation with >10-year runtime at 1sps duty cycle. |
| Input Sampling Current | 50nA (typ) - permits direct RC filtering (e.g., 1kΩ/0.1µF) with <1LSB added error. |
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; controls reference startup time and transition noise. |
| 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 (208/833sps) and sleep mode. |
| SCK (5) | Serial clock input | Drives SPI timing; supports up to 2MHz; idle-high or idle-low (CPOL = 0 or 1) compatible. |
| 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 | Three dedicated ground connections including exposed thermal pad; require low-impedance PCB plane tie. |
| REF– (8) | Negative reference input | Sets zero-input point; tied directly to system ground or remote sensor ground for accurate common-mode rejection. |
| IN+ (9) | Differential positive input | Accepts voltage up to VREF; used with IN– for true differential measurement with ±1.25V full-scale range. |
| IN– (10) | Differential negative input | Accepts voltage down to 0V; complements IN+ for rejecting common-mode noise in noisy industrial environments. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF parallel bypassing for clean ADC performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential input architecture | Supports true bipolar ±VREF measurement without external op-amps or level shifters - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| User-selectable output rate | 208sps (8,192× OSR) or 833sps (2,048× OSR) - balances resolution, speed, and anti-aliasing filter design effort per application need. |
| Auto shutdown with configurable sleep | Enters NAP (70% current reduction) after conversion; optional SLP bit powers down both ADC and reference to 2µA - extends battery life. |
| Integrated oscillator | Eliminates external crystal or clock generator; removes timing component sourcing risk and board area for portable instrumentation. |
| Proprietary low-current sampling | 50nA average input current enables direct RC filtering with minimal signal degradation - simplifies front-end design for RTD or strain gauge interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPW | 24-bit resolution, 4.8ksps max, integrated PGA and burnout current; requires external reference; 2.5V–5.5V supply. | Better suited for ultra-low-level sensor signals (e.g., load cells) requiring programmable gain; higher power (350µA active). | Select ADS124S08IPW when >16-bit resolution and on-chip PGA are required; avoid if reference integration and 2µA sleep are mandatory. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 18-bit resolution, 120sps max, internal 2.048V reference (5ppm/°C), SPI interface; 2.7V–3.6V supply only. | Optimized for low-voltage battery systems; lacks differential input flexibility and 833sps mode; smaller 10-lead TDFN package. | Select MAX11206ETL+ for compact, single-supply 3.3V designs where 18-bit resolution outweighs speed and input range needs. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPW and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF uniquely combines 16-bit precision, differential ±1.25V input, integrated 1.25V reference with 5ppm/°C drift, 833sps capability, and 2µA sleep - making it optimal for industrial sensor nodes demanding balanced performance, power, and integration.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF?
The LTC2472IDD#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation (I-grade). This extended range ensures reliable performance in industrial control cabinets, outdoor environmental enclosures, and automotive under-hood sensor modules where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits. The part maintains specified offset drift (±5ppm/°C), gain error (±0.01%), and sleep current (2µA max) across this full range.
Does the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external clock components. This eliminates timing component sourcing, reduces PCB footprint, and avoids clock jitter concerns that degrade delta-sigma ADC performance. The internal oscillator drives all conversion timing, reference startup, and SPI synchronization - confirmed in the "Internal Oscillator-No External Components Required" feature list and block diagram.
How does the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF achieve low input current during sampling?
The LTC2472IDD#TRPBF uses a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces average input current to 50nA (typ), several orders of magnitude lower than conventional delta-sigma converters. This enables direct connection of RC filters (e.g., 1kΩ/0.1µF) with <1LSB added error - critical for interfacing with high-impedance sensors like thermistors or pH electrodes without buffer amplifiers.
Can the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF operate with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, fully supporting standard 3.3V logic and supply rails. At 3.3V, it maintains all key specifications: 16-bit resolution, ±1mV offset error, 0.01% gain error, and 2µA sleep current. The reference output remains stable at 1.25V, and SPI timing (2MHz SCK max) is preserved - verified in Electrical Characteristics and Power Requirements tables.
What is the function of the COMP pin on the LTC2472IDD#TRPBF?
The COMP pin (Pin 2) provides internal reference compensation and must be connected to a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. This capacitor sets both reference startup time (12ms typical) and transition noise performance. Reducing the COMP capacitor lowers startup time but increases RMS noise - a trade-off documented in Figure 3 and Figure 4 of the datasheet. The COMP capacitor value must be ≤ the REFOUT bypass capacitor value for stability.
