Product details
Overview
LTC2485IDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit + sign no-latency delta-sigma ADC with patented Easy Drive input current cancellation and I²C interface. It delivers 2 ppm INL, 1 ppm offset error, and simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz line rejection - enabling direct digitization of high-impedance sensors (e.g., strain gauges, load cells) without external buffering or calibration circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2485IDD#PBF datasheet, LTC2485IDD#PBF pinout, LTC2485IDD#PBF application, or LTC2485IDD#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LTC2485IDD#PBF implements a third-order ∆Σ modulator with automatic on-chip offset and full-scale calibration, eliminating latency in digital filter settling (single-cycle convergence). Its Easy Drive architecture cancels differential input current dynamically, enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range (0 V to VCC) independent of reference voltage.
It supports programmable line-frequency rejection (50 Hz, 60 Hz, or simultaneous 50/60 Hz) via internal oscillator or external clock (10–1000 kHz), and offers selectable 1×/2× conversion speed modes. The device integrates a temperature sensor and operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V with sleep-mode current as low as 1 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit + sign, no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization for precision metrology. |
| INL | 2 ppm (0.25 LSB) - enables ±0.0002% full-scale accuracy in weight scales and DVMs without post-calibration. |
| Offset Error | 1 µV typical - eliminates zero-point drift in microvolt-level sensor measurements (e.g., thermopile, bridge transducers). |
| Line Rejection | Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz at 87 dB - suppresses mains interference in industrial environments without external notch filters. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct operation from Li-ion, USB, or 3.3 V/5 V system rails without LDO overhead. |
| Output Data Rate | 157 ms (1×) / 79 ms (2×) per conversion - balances resolution and throughput for slow-varying physical quantities. |
| I²C Interface | Standard/Fast-mode (up to 400 kHz), 6 configurable slave addresses + global sync - simplifies multi-sensor bus topology. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 11 = GND, must be soldered).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF+ / REF− | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1 V to VCC reference span; enable ratiometric measurement with unregulated supplies or low-voltage references. |
| IN+ / IN− | Differential analog inputs | Support rail-to-rail common-mode (0 V to VCC) and ±0.5×VREF differential range; zero differential 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 improves thermal performance and noise immunity. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C clock and bidirectional data | Open-drain SDA requires external pull-up; supports multi-master bus; no level-shifting needed for 3.3 V/5 V systems. |
| CA0/f0 / CA1 | Address configuration / external clock input | Three-state address bits (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) set one of six I²C addresses; CA0/f0 accepts 10–1000 kHz external clock for precise rejection tuning. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation | Eliminates dynamic input bias errors - allows direct connection to high-Z sensors (e.g., RTDs, pH electrodes) without op-amp buffers. |
| No-Latency Digital Filter | Settles in one conversion cycle - enables deterministic timing for closed-loop control or synchronized multi-channel sampling. |
| Internal Trimmed Oscillator | Removes need for external crystal or clock source - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| Programmable Line Rejection | Configurable 50 Hz / 60 Hz / dual-mode rejection via register write - adapts to global power grid requirements without hardware change. |
| On-Chip Temperature Sensor | Provides factory-trimmed PTAT signal (390–450 mV at 27°C) - enables self-compensation or ambient monitoring without extra components. |

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 simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection; higher supply current (350 µA active) | Better suited for multiplexed multi-channel sensor arrays requiring gain flexibility; less optimal for I²C-bus constrained systems | Select when PGA functionality and channel count outweigh I²C compatibility and ultra-low power needs. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 24-bit, I²C interface; no Easy Drive; fixed 50/60 Hz rejection only; smaller 12-lead TQFN package | Lower cost option for basic industrial sensing; lacks rail-to-rail input and dynamic current cancellation | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-accuracy applications where external buffering is acceptable and layout space is critical. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPW and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2485IDD#PBF uniquely combines I²C simplicity, Easy Drive zero-input-current operation, and simultaneous dual-frequency rejection - making it optimal for compact, high-accuracy, low-power sensor nodes where board space and external component count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2485IDD#PBF?
The LTC2485IDD#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C, matching the "I" grade specification. This extended industrial temperature range ensures reliable operation in demanding environments such as factory automation, outdoor instrumentation, and automotive cabin sensing - unlike the "C" grade (0°C to 70°C) version LTC2485CDD#PBF.
Does the LTC2485IDD#PBF require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the LTC2485IDD#PBF includes an on-chip trimmed oscillator, eliminating the need for external timing components in most applications. However, Pin 10 (CA0/f0) supports optional external clock input (10–1000 kHz) for precise line-frequency rejection tuning - the LTC2485IDD#PBF uses this signal automatically when driven, overriding the internal oscillator.
How does Easy Drive technology benefit sensor interfacing in the LTC2485IDD#PBF?
Easy Drive in the LTC2485IDD#PBF cancels differential input current dynamically during sampling, reducing effective input bias to near-zero. This allows direct connection to high-impedance sources like thermistors (>100 kΩ), strain gauges, and pH electrodes without buffer amplifiers - preserving signal integrity and minimizing thermal EMF errors in the LTC2485IDD#PBF signal chain.
Can the LTC2485IDD#PBF reject both 50 Hz and 60 Hz noise simultaneously?
Yes, the LTC2485IDD#PBF supports simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz line-frequency rejection mode with 87 dB attenuation. This is configured via its control register and enabled by its adaptive digital filter architecture - making the LTC2485IDD#PBF ideal for globally deployed equipment that must operate reliably in regions with either power standard without hardware modification.
What is the I²C address configuration capability of the LTC2485IDD#PBF?
The LTC2485IDD#PBF provides six unique I²C slave addresses via two three-state address pins (CA1 and CA0/f0), plus one global address for synchronized conversions across multiple devices. Each pin supports HIGH, LOW, or FLOAT states - enabling up to six LTC2485IDD#PBF units on a single I²C bus without address conflicts or external logic.
