Product details
Overview
LTC2487IDE#PBF 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 high-accuracy sensor digitization in industrial process control and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2487IDE#PBF datasheet, LTC2487IDE#PBF pinout, LTC2487IDE#PBF application, or LTC2487IDE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail input capability with zero differential input current, simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection, no-latency output, and –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Technical Context
The LTC2487IDE#PBF employs a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and auto-calibration that runs every conversion cycle-ensuring stable offset (<1 µV), full-scale error (<15 ppm), and linearity (2 ppm INL) across temperature and supply voltage. Its Easy Drive architecture eliminates dynamic differential input current via passive sampling network cancellation.
It supports both internal oscillator (307.2 kHz) and external clock (10–1000 kHz) for configurable output data rates (7.5–15 sps in normal mode; 15–30 sps in 2× speed mode), with programmable 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection-all while maintaining GND-to-VCC common-mode input range independent of reference voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full-scale fidelity for precision measurement. |
| INL | 2 ppm of VREF-enables sub-µV-level linearity error in 5 V reference systems (±10 µV max deviation). |
| Output Noise | 600 nV RMS (normal mode)-supports 19.5 ENOB at 7.5 sps for ultra-low-noise DC sensing. |
| Offset Error | 0.5 µV typical (–40°C to +85°C)-minimizes calibration burden in temperature-compensated systems. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 140 dB DC & 50/60 Hz-rejects ground bounce and power-line interference without external filtering. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V-operates from single Li-ion or 3.3 V/5 V rails with 160 µA conversion current. |
| Temperature Sensor | ±2°C absolute accuracy, 0.5°C resolution-enables on-chip thermal monitoring without external components. |
Pinout & Package
14-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 15 = GND). RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| 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 filter null placement. |
| CA0, CA1 (Pins 2, 3) | I²C address configuration | Three-state inputs (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) set one of nine device addresses plus global sync address. |
| SCL (Pin 4) | I²C serial clock input | Slave-only interface; defines timing for SDA read/write-supports up to 400 kHz standard-mode I²C. |
| SDA (Pin 5) | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain output with high-impedance input; transmits 24-bit result (16-bit + sign) on falling SCL edge. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Analog/digital ground reference | Low-impedance return path for all analog and digital currents; must connect to system ground plane. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Common negative input | Shared IN– for all single-ended channels; supports rail-to-rail input signals (GND – 0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V). |
| CH0–CH3 (Pins 8–11) | Configurable analog inputs | Programmable as single-ended (vs. COM) or differential pairs (e.g., CH0/CH1); support high-impedance sensors directly. |
| VCC (Pin 12) | Positive supply | 2.7 V–5.5 V operation; requires local 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass for low-noise 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. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 15) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJA = 37°C/W) and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency delta-sigma conversion | Digital filter settles in one cycle-even after channel change-enabling deterministic real-time multiplexing. |
| Easy Drive input current cancellation | Eliminates differential input current errors, allowing direct connection of high-Z sensors (e.g., RTDs, thermocouples) without buffer amplifiers. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | On-die PTAT sensor with ±2°C absolute accuracy enables self-thermal compensation and system health monitoring. |
| Programmable 50/60 Hz rejection | Configurable notch filtering for AC line interference-supports single, dual, or simultaneous rejection modes without external components. |
| Auto-calibration per conversion | Continuous offset and full-scale correction removes drift from temperature, supply, and channel switching-no user intervention required. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPW | 24-bit resolution, SPI interface, no integrated temp sensor, higher power (350 µA) | Requires external temperature sensing and SPI host; better for ultra-high-resolution standalone measurements | Choose when >16-bit resolution is mandatory and I²C is not required. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 20-bit resolution, I²C interface, no PGA, no temp sensor, lower noise (250 nV RMS) | Lacks programmable gain and on-chip thermal monitoring-requires external signal conditioning | Prefer for low-noise, fixed-gain applications where temperature compensation is handled externally. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2487IDE#PBF?
The LTC2487IDE#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, matching the "I" grade specification. This extended range ensures reliable performance in industrial environments, outdoor instrumentation, and automotive under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits.
Does the LTC2487IDE#PBF require external amplification for high-impedance sensors?
No-the LTC2487IDE#PBF incorporates Easy Drive technology that cancels differential input current, enabling direct connection of high-impedance sources like RTDs, thermocouples, and piezoresistive sensors without external op-amps or buffers while preserving DC accuracy.
How does the LTC2487IDE#PBF achieve simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection?
The LTC2487IDE#PBF uses a digitally reconfigurable FIR filter synchronized to an internal or external oscillator. In simultaneous mode, its filter nulls are placed at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz using a 280 kHz external clock (or internal equivalent), rejecting line noise regardless of regional AC frequency.
What is the purpose of the fO pin on the LTC2487IDE#PBF?
The fO pin selects the conversion clock source: tied to GND for the internal 307.2 kHz oscillator (default), or driven externally (10–1000 kHz) to adjust output data rate and shift digital filter rejection nulls-enabling custom line-frequency rejection or higher throughput.
Can the LTC2487IDE#PBF measure its own die temperature?
Yes-the LTC2487IDE#PBF integrates a 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, providing real-time thermal data for system-level compensation or health monitoring.
