Product details
Overview
LTC2485CDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with Easy Drive input current cancellation, I²C interface, and integrated oscillator. It delivers 2 ppm INL, 1 µV offset error, rail-to-rail input range (0 V to VCC), and programmable 50/60 Hz line rejection - enabling high-accuracy digitization of strain gauges, load cells, and precision temperature sensors in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2485CDD#PBF datasheet, LTC2485CDD#PBF pinout, LTC2485CDD#PBF application, or LTC2485CDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include differential input current cancellation capability, 24-bit no-missing-codes resolution with ±0.5×VREF full-scale range, internal oscillator operation, I²C address configurability (6 addresses + global sync), and 10-lead 3 mm × 3 mm DFN package thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LTC2485CDD#PBF employs a third-order delta-sigma modulator with automatic offset and full-scale calibration, eliminating latency via single-cycle digital filter settling. Its patented Easy Drive sampling scheme cancels differential input current, enabling direct connection to high-impedance sensors without external buffering.
It supports three line-rejection modes (50 Hz, 60 Hz, simultaneous 50/60 Hz) and a 2× speed mode, all configurable via I²C. The on-chip oscillator operates at ~307.2 kHz (internal) or accepts external clock input on CA0/f0, with reference voltage ranging from 0.1 V to VCC independent of common-mode input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit plus sign, no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization for precision measurement systems. |
| INL | 2 ppm (0.25 LSB) - ensures sub-µV-level linearity over full scale, critical for weight scales and DVMs requiring traceable accuracy. |
| Offset Error | ±0.5 µV typical - enables DC-coupled sensor interfaces (e.g., thermocouples, bridge transducers) without manual nulling. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | 0 V to VCC - allows direct digitization of rail-to-rail signals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Reference Range | 0.1 V to VCC - supports low-voltage references (e.g., 100 mV bandgap) or direct tie to supply, simplifying BOM. |
| I²C Address Options | Six unique slave addresses + one global address - permits multi-device synchronization on shared bus without address conflict. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V industrial control rails and battery-powered portable instruments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN (DD package); exposed pad (Pin 11) must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF+ / REF– | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1 V to VCC reference span; common-mode independent of analog input, enabling flexible reference sourcing. |
| IN+ / IN– | Differential analog inputs | Support rail-to-rail common-mode (0 V to VCC) and ±0.5×VREF differential range; zero net input current enables >100 kΩ source impedances. |
| VCC / GND | Power supply and ground | Require local 1 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass; exposed pad is GND and mandatory for thermal dissipation (θJA = 43°C/W). |
| SCL / SDA | I²C serial clock and bidirectional data | Standard-mode/Fast-mode compliant (≤400 kHz); SDA is open-drain requiring external pull-up; SCL is input-only. |
| CA0/f0 / CA1 | Chip address control / external oscillator input | Three-state logic (HIGH/LOW/FLOAT) sets I²C address bits; CA0/f0 doubles as external clock input (10–1000 kHz) for custom filter null placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Easy Drive input current cancellation | Eliminates differential input current errors, enabling direct connection to high-impedance bridges and thermistors without buffer op-amps. |
| No-latency digital filter | Settles in one conversion cycle - avoids pipeline delay, ensuring immediate availability of valid data after each read command. |
| Programmable line-frequency rejection | Select 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection via I²C - essential for AC mains–coupled noise suppression in lab equipment and process controllers. |
| Internal trimmed oscillator | Removes need for external crystal or RC network - reduces component count, board area, and calibration overhead in space-constrained designs. |
| Continuous auto-calibration | Transparent offset and full-scale correction during operation - maintains accuracy across temperature and time without user intervention. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPW | 24-bit, SPI interface, integrated PGA (1–128×), no built-in line-rejection filter; requires external clock or crystal. | Requires additional filtering firmware for 50/60 Hz rejection; better suited for multiplexed multi-channel systems with variable gain needs. | Choose when channel count >1 and programmable gain is required; avoid if I²C bus simplicity and hardware line rejection are priorities. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 24-bit, I²C interface, 1 µV offset, but no Easy Drive; max VREF = 2.048 V; no internal oscillator - requires external clock. | Lacks differential input current cancellation, limiting usable source impedance; fixed reference restricts flexibility with low-voltage sensors. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-power (<100 µA) applications where sensor impedance <10 kΩ and reference is fixed at 2.048 V. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPW and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2485CDD#PBF uniquely integrates hardware-based 50/60 Hz rejection, zero-input-current architecture, and internal oscillator - reducing firmware burden, external components, and layout sensitivity in single-channel precision sensor digitization.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2485CDD#PBF?
The LTC2485CDD#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix. This commercial-grade specification ensures stability in controlled-environment instrumentation, HVAC controls, and benchtop test equipment where extended industrial (-40°C to 85°C) operation is not required. The device's internal auto-calibration maintains accuracy across this full range without external compensation.
Does the LTC2485CDD#PBF require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the LTC2485CDD#PBF includes an on-chip trimmed oscillator, eliminating the need for external timing components in standard configurations. However, the CA0/f0 pin supports optional external clock input (10–1000 kHz) to shift the digital filter's rejection null - useful when precise custom line-frequency rejection or synchronization across multiple LTC2485CDD#PBF devices is needed.
How does the Easy Drive technology in the LTC2485CDD#PBF improve sensor interface performance?
Easy Drive technology in the LTC2485CDD#PBF cancels differential input current through patented sampling, resulting in near-zero net current into IN+ and IN– pins. This enables direct connection to high-impedance sensors (e.g., strain gauges >100 kΩ, thermistors) without buffer amplifiers, preserving signal integrity, reducing power consumption, and avoiding offset drift introduced by external op-amps.
Can the LTC2485CDD#PBF reject both 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference simultaneously?
Yes, the LTC2485CDD#PBF supports simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz line-frequency rejection via I²C configuration. This mode places digital filter nulls at both frequencies, making it ideal for globally deployed equipment (e.g., export-grade medical devices or portable analyzers) operating in regions with either mains standard - without requiring hardware changes or firmware reconfiguration per market.
What is the function of the CA1 and CA0/f0 pins on the LTC2485CDD#PBF?
The CA1 and CA0/f0 pins configure the LTC2485CDD#PBF's I²C slave address: CA1 is a three-state (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) bit, and CA0/f0 is a two-state (HIGH/FLOAT) bit, yielding six unique addresses. Additionally, CA0/f0 serves as an external clock input - when driven with a clean square wave (≥10 kHz), it overrides the internal oscillator and sets the filter null frequency to fEOSC/5120.
