Product details
Overview
LTC2473CDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit differential ΔΣ analog-to-digital converter with integrated 1.25V precision reference, I²C interface, and selectable 208sps/833sps output rate. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers ±1mV offset error and ±0.01% gain error, and targets high-accuracy sensor digitization in industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2473CDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC2473CDD#TRPBF application, or LTC2473CDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential input range (±VREF), 2µA max sleep current, 12-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package, and guaranteed C-grade temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
Technical Context
The LTC2473CDD#TRPBF implements a delta-sigma architecture with internal oscillator, no external clock required, and proprietary input sampling that limits average input current to 50nA-enabling direct RC filter interfacing without significant error. Its decimating sinc filter provides relaxed anti-aliasing requirements due to oversampling ratios of 8,192 (208sps) or 2,048 (833sps).
It supports two power states: NAP (ADC off, reference on, ~800µA typical supply current) and SLEEP (ADC + reference off, ≤2µA). Reference startup time is 12ms with 0.1µF COMP/REFOUT capacitors, and conversion settling is single-cycle with no latency-critical for multiplexed sensor systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit-provides 65,536 distinct digital codes for high-fidelity sensor signal capture. |
| Input Type | Differential (±VREF)-rejects common-mode noise and enables bipolar measurement of transducer outputs. |
| Reference Accuracy | 1.247V to 1.253V (±0.1% initial), 2ppm/°C drift-ensures stable full-scale scaling across temperature without external trimming. |
| Output Rate | Selectable 208sps or 833sps-balances resolution, noise, and update speed for varying system bandwidth needs. |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA typ (conversion), ≤2µA max (sleep)-enables battery-powered or energy-constrained monitoring nodes. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±2 LSB (208sps), ±8.5 LSB (833sps)-defines maximum code deviation from ideal transfer curve under specified conditions. |
| Offset Error | ±1 mV-directly impacts zero-point accuracy in pressure or load cell interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic DFN (3mm × 3mm), exposed pad (Pin 13) must be connected to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFOUT (1) | Reference output | Nominally 1.25V; sets ADC full-scale range; requires 0.1µF capacitor to GND for stability and low noise. |
| COMP (2) | Reference compensation | Connects to same 0.1µF capacitor as REFOUT; critical for reference startup time and transition noise control. |
| A0 (3) | I²C address select | Configures slave address: 0010100 (A0 = GND) or 1010100 (A0 = VCC); enables dual-device bus sharing. |
| GND (4,7,11,13) | Ground return | Multiple ground pins minimize impedance; exposed pad (13) must be soldered to solid ground plane. |
| SCL (5) | I²C clock input | Accepts up to 400kHz clock; device acts only as slave-no master capability. |
| SDA (6) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; transmits 16-bit result MSB-first on SCL falling edges. |
| REF– (8) | Negative reference input | Sets ADC zero-input point; typically tied to system ground or remote sensor ground sense. |
| IN+ (9) | Differential positive input | Accepts voltage up to VREF; used with IN– for true differential measurement of bridge sensors. |
| IN– (10) | Differential negative input | Accepts voltage down to 0V; paired with IN+ for rejection of common-mode interference. |
| VCC (12) | Power supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing for clean reference and conversion performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency single-cycle conversion | Delivers valid 16-bit result per conversion with zero filter delay-simplifies timing in multiplexed sensor arrays. |
| Ultra-low input sampling current (50nA) | Enables use of simple RC filters (e.g., 1kΩ + 0.1µF) without introducing >1LSB error at full scale. |
| Integrated 1.25V reference (2ppm/°C) | Eliminates need for external reference IC or trimming, reducing BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs. |
| Configurable power modes (NAP/SLEEP) | Reduces current from 3.5mA to ≤2µA-extends battery life in portable environmental monitors by orders of magnitude. |
| Internal oscillator | Removes requirement for external crystal or clock source, lowering system cost and improving reliability. |

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, 860sps, internal 2.048V ref (±5ppm/°C), no integrated oscillator-requires external clock or MCU timing. | Higher gain options (2/4/8/16x PGA) but larger offset error (±150µV) and no differential input range scaling to ±VREF. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR when programmable gain is needed for microvolt-level signals; avoid if reference stability or zero-latency conversion is critical. |
| MAX11613EEE+ | 16-bit, 1ksps, internal 2.048V ref (±15ppm/°C), SPI interface only, no sleep mode below 10µA. | Lower power in active mode (900µA) but lacks ultra-low sleep current; requires SPI host and external reference decoupling. | Choose MAX11613EEE+ for SPI-based systems where board space allows separate reference filtering; avoid for battery-powered I²C nodes. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MAX11613EEE+, the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF uniquely combines differential ±VREF input scaling, 2ppm/°C reference drift, and ≤2µA sleep current in an I²C package-making it optimal for high-stability, low-power industrial sensing where reference integrity and conversion latency are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF?
The LTC2473CDD#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C (C-grade). This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including reference drift (±2ppm/°C), offset error (±1mV), and supply current (≤2µA sleep). Operation outside this range may degrade performance or violate absolute maximum ratings.
Does the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF includes a fully integrated oscillator and requires no external clock components. The I²C interface uses only SCL and SDA lines; all timing-including conversion, oversampling, and reference startup-is managed internally by the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF.
How does the sleep mode function in the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF?
In sleep mode (SLP = 1), both the ADC and internal reference power down after conversion completion, reducing supply current to ≤2µA. The reference restarts automatically upon next I²C address acknowledge, with 12ms startup time when using 0.1µF COMP/REFOUT capacitors. The first conversion post-wakeup must be discarded or delayed.
Can the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF interface directly with a Wheatstone bridge sensor?
Yes-the LTC2473CDD#TRPBF's differential input (IN+, IN–) and integrated 1.25V reference are optimized for ratiometric bridge measurements. With 50nA input current and ±1mV offset error, it minimizes loading and zero-point drift, enabling direct connection without external amplification or calibration in most strain-gauge and pressure-sensor applications.
What is the significance of the "DD" in LTC2473CDD#TRPBF?
The "DD" suffix denotes the 12-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad. This package offers superior thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W) and smaller footprint than the MSOP variant, making it ideal for compact industrial modules where heat dissipation and board space are constrained.
