Product details
Overview
LTC2487CDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 4-channel (2 differential) delta-sigma ADC with integrated PGA, Easy Drive input current cancellation, I²C interface, and on-chip temperature sensor. It delivers 2 ppm INL, 600 nV RMS noise, and programmable gain (1–256) for precision sensor digitization in industrial instrumentation and process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2487CDE#TRPBF pinout, LTC2487CDE#TRPBF application, or LTC2487CDE#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts for design-in flexibility under 0°C to 70°C operating conditions.
Technical Context
The LTC2487CDE#TRPBF implements a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and auto-calibration that runs continuously per conversion cycle-eliminating offset and full-scale drift across temperature, supply voltage, and channel switching. Its Easy Drive architecture cancels differential input current via passive sampling network, enabling rail-to-rail inputs with zero net differential current into CH0–CH3 and COM.
It supports three rejection modes (50 Hz, 60 Hz, simultaneous 50/60 Hz) using either internal oscillator (307.2 kHz nominal) or external clock on fO pin, and features a 24-bit output format containing 16-bit signed result plus status bits. The device operates in normal (15.7 Hz) or 2× speed (31.4 Hz) mode with corresponding noise and accuracy trade-offs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full-scale fidelity for calibration-critical measurements. |
| INL | 2 ppm of VREF-enables ±0.0002% linearity error over full scale, critical for high-accuracy transducer interfaces. |
| Offset Error | ±0.5 µV typical-supports sub-microvolt DC measurement stability without external trimming. |
| RMS Noise | 0.6 µV RMS (normal mode)-provides effective 19.2-bit ENOB at 15.7 sps for low-frequency sensor signals. |
| Input Common Mode Range | GND to VCC-allows direct digitization of rail-to-rail single-ended or differential signals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Programmable Gain | 1 to 256 in 8 discrete steps-configures full-scale range from ±0.5·VREF down to ±1.95 mV for microvolt-level sensor outputs. |
| Temperature Sensor Accuracy | ±2°C absolute, 0.5°C resolution-enables on-board thermal compensation without external sensor. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 15 = GND, must be soldered).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| fO (Pin 1) | Frequency control input | Selects internal oscillator (GND) or external clock source; determines output data rate and 50/60 Hz rejection null placement. |
| CA0, CA1 (Pins 2, 3) | I²C address configuration | Three-state pins (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) set one of nine unique I²C addresses plus global sync address. |
| SCL (Pin 4) | I²C serial clock input | Slave-only interface clock; rising edge latches SDA input, falling edge drives SDA output (open-drain). |
| SDA (Pin 5) | I²C bidirectional data line | 24-bit read/write interface: 16-bit signed conversion result + status bits; requires external pull-up to VCC. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuits; low-impedance PCB connection required for noise immunity. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Common negative input | Shared IN− for all single-ended channels; supports rail-to-rail common-mode voltage (GND to VCC). |
| CH0–CH3 (Pins 8–11) | Configurable analog inputs | Software-selectable as IN+ or IN− in differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3) or four single-ended inputs vs COM. |
| VCC (Pin 12) | Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation; requires local 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypassing for stable conversion performance. |
| REF+, REF− (Pins 13, 14) | Differential reference inputs | Set full-scale range (±0.5·VREF/Gain); VREF = REF+ − REF− must be ≥0.1 V and ≤VCC; common-mode range = GND to VCC. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 15) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground impedance for ADC accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No latency delta-sigma conversion | First conversion after channel change is fully settled and meets spec-no filter delay or invalid readings during multiplexing. |
| Easy Drive input current cancellation | Eliminates dynamic differential input current errors, enabling direct interface to high-impedance sensors (e.g., RTDs, thermocouples) without buffer amplifiers. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | On-die PTAT sensor with 1/2°C resolution and ±2°C absolute accuracy-used for self-compensation or system thermal monitoring. |
| Programmable 50/60 Hz rejection | Hardware-based notch filtering synchronized to line frequency via internal or external clock-no firmware overhead or DSP resources required. |
| Auto-calibration per conversion | Continuous offset and full-scale correction removes drift due to temperature, supply variation, and aging-no user intervention needed. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Monitoring | High-Impedance Sensor Digitization |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS114S08IPBS | 24-bit resolution, SPI interface, no integrated temp sensor, 1.8–3.6 V supply only | Requires external temperature sensing and level-shifting for 5 V systems; better resolution but higher power (350 µA active) | Choose for higher-resolution, SPI-based designs where 5 V operation and on-chip temperature sensing are not required. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF?
The LTC2487CDE#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix. This commercial-grade specification ensures guaranteed performance-including 2 ppm INL, 0.6 µV RMS noise, and ±0.5 µV offset error-across the full range without derating. It is distinct from the industrial-grade LTC2487IDE#TRPBF (–40°C to 85°C).
Does the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF requires a 10 µF tantalum capacitor and 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor from VCC to GND, placed as close as possible to Pins 12 and 6. Pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines are also mandatory for I²C communication. No external op amps or anti-alias filters are needed due to its Easy Drive input architecture and integrated digital filtering.
How does the Easy Drive technology in the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF improve measurement accuracy?
Easy Drive eliminates differential input current errors through a patented passive sampling network that auto-cancels current drawn from IN+ and IN− terminals. This allows high-impedance sensors (e.g., thermistors >1 MΩ) to connect directly without buffer amplifiers-preserving DC accuracy, enabling rail-to-rail input swings, and removing gain/offset errors caused by source impedance mismatch in the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF.
Can the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF measure its own die temperature?
Yes-the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF integrates a factory-calibrated PTAT temperature sensor with ±2°C absolute accuracy and 0.5°C resolution. It can be selected as an input channel via I²C command, delivering a 16-bit signed reading proportional to junction temperature. This feature enables real-time thermal compensation of sensor readings without adding external components to the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF design.
What I²C addresses are supported by the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF?
The LTC2487CDE#TRPBF supports nine unique I²C addresses determined by the logic states of CA0 and CA1 pins (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT), plus one global address (0x00) for synchronized write operations across multiple devices. Address configuration is hardware-based and non-volatile-no register programming is required to set the LTC2487CDE#TRPBF I²C identity.
