Product details
Overview
LTC2481HDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit plus sign No Latency ΔΣ analog-to-digital converter with patented Easy Drive input current cancellation, I²C interface, and on-chip programmable gain (1–256). It digitizes rail-to-rail differential inputs with 0.1 V minimum reference voltage, supports simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection, and operates from –40°C to 125°C in a 10-lead 3 mm × 3 mm DFN package - ideal for high-accuracy industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2481HDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC2481HDD#TRPBF application, or LTC2481HDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its H-grade temperature range, zero differential input current architecture, 2 ppm INL, 1 µV offset error, and support for external oscillator or internal trimmed oscillator operation.
Technical Context
The LTC2481HDD#TRPBF implements a third-order delta-sigma modulator with automatic offset and full-scale calibration, enabling no-latency digital filter settling in a single cycle. Its Easy Drive sampling scheme cancels dynamic input current errors without on-chip buffering, allowing direct digitization of high-impedance sources up to 100 kΩ while maintaining DC accuracy.
It integrates a programmable-gain amplifier (1× to 256×), internal temperature sensor, and six I²C addresses (plus one global sync address). The device supports both normal and 2× speed modes, with conversion times ranging from 78.7 ms (2×, 50 Hz mode, H-grade) to 165.1 ms (1×, simultaneous 50/60 Hz mode, H-grade), and features configurable line-frequency rejection via internal or external oscillator.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit plus sign, no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| INL | 2 ppm (0.25 LSB) max - ensures high linearity for precision measurement applications like strain gauges and weight scales. |
| Offset Error | ±0.5 µV (typ), ±2.5 µV (max) - enables sub-microvolt DC accuracy without system-level trimming. |
| Full-Scale Error | ±25 ppm (H-grade) - maintains consistent gain accuracy over temperature and supply variation. |
| Input Common Mode Range | GND to VCC, independent of reference - simplifies sensor interfacing with wide common-mode swing. |
| Reference Voltage Range | 0.1 V to VCC - allows low-voltage references (e.g., 100 mV bandgap) or direct tie to VCC. |
| I²C Speed | Up to 400 kHz Fast-mode - supports high-throughput configuration and readout in multi-device systems. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC2481HDD#TRPBF is housed in a 10-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11) soldered to PCB ground. Pin 1 = REF+, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = REF–, Pin 4 = IN+, Pin 5 = IN–, Pin 6 = SCL, Pin 7 = SDA, Pin 8 = GND, Pin 9 = CA1, Pin 10 = CA0/f0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF+, REF– | Differential reference input | Defines full-scale range; supports 0.1 V to VCC differential voltage with GND-to-VCC common-mode range. |
| IN+, IN– | Differential analog input | Rail-to-rail input capability with zero differential input current - eliminates external buffer requirements for high-Z sensors. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply terminals | Operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V; requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing for noise immunity. |
| SCL, SDA | I²C serial interface | Standard-mode/Fast-mode compatible; SDA is open-drain requiring external pull-up; SCL is input-only clock. |
| CA1, CA0/f0 | I²C address control / external clock input | Configures one of six slave addresses; CA0/f0 accepts external oscillator (10–1000 kHz) for precise line-frequency rejection tuning. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Easy Drive input current cancellation | Eliminates dynamic input current errors - enables direct connection to high-impedance transducers (e.g., load cells, thermistors) without signal degradation. |
| No-latency ΔΣ conversion | Digital filter settles in one cycle - provides immediate, deterministic output timing critical for closed-loop control and synchronized sampling. |
| Programmable gain (1–256) | Eight discrete gain steps - optimizes dynamic range for varying sensor output amplitudes without external amplification. |
| Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection | Single conversion rejects both mains frequencies - essential for battery-powered or globally deployed instrumentation in mixed-grid environments. |
| H-grade temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) | Guaranteed performance across automotive under-hood and industrial process control environments. |

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, SPI interface, integrated PGA and burnout current sources; no built-in line-frequency rejection. | Requires external digital filtering for 50/60 Hz rejection; better suited for ultra-high-resolution lab equipment than cost-sensitive industrial sensors. | Select when higher resolution and integrated diagnostics outweigh need for I²C simplicity and embedded rejection. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF?
The LTC2481HDD#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting the H-grade specification. This extended range is validated across all electrical parameters including offset error (±2.5 µV max), full-scale error (±40 ppm max), and integral nonlinearity (2 ppm max), making it suitable for under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments where the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF delivers guaranteed performance without derating.
Does the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes - the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF requires a 1 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to Pins 2 and 8. No external crystal or oscillator is needed due to its on-chip trimmed oscillator, but an external clock (10–1000 kHz) may be applied to CA0/f0 for precise line-frequency rejection tuning in the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF.
How does the Easy Drive technology in the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF improve sensor interface design?
Easy Drive technology in the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF eliminates dynamic differential input current through automatic cancellation during sampling. This allows direct connection to high-impedance sensors (e.g., >100 kΩ strain gauges) without external buffers or compensation networks, preserving DC accuracy and reducing board area, power, and cost - a core advantage confirmed in the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF's rail-to-rail input specification and 0.1 µV/°C offset drift.
Can the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF reject both 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference simultaneously?
Yes - the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF supports a dedicated simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection mode, implemented via internal oscillator configuration or external clock at 280 kHz ±2%. This mode places digital filter nulls at both frequencies in a single conversion cycle, verified in the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF's Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance plots (G25, G40), ensuring robust operation in globally deployed equipment.
What I²C addressing options does the LTC2481HDD#TRPBF support?
The LTC2481HDD#TRPBF supports six unique I²C slave addresses via two address pins (CA1 and CA0/f0), each configurable as LOW, HIGH, or Floating (three-state for CA1; two-state for CA0/f0). It also includes one global address for synchronized conversions across multiple LTC2481HDD#TRPBF devices on the same bus - enabling scalable multi-channel sensor arrays without address conflicts.
