Product details
Overview
LTC2488IDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 4-channel (2-differential) delta-sigma ADC with Easy Drive input current cancellation, 2 ppm INL, 1 ppm offset error, and simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection - designed for direct digitization of high-impedance sensors in industrial process control and precision instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2488IDE#TRPBF pinout, LTC2488IDE#TRPBF application, or LTC2488IDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include rail-to-rail input common-mode range (GND to VCC), no-latency digital filter settling, integrated oscillator, 0.6 µVRMS noise, and differential input current cancellation enabling direct sensor interface without external buffers.
Technical Context
The LTC2488IDE#TRPBF implements a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filtering and automatic per-conversion offset/full-scale calibration. Its patented Easy Drive sampling network cancels differential input current, eliminating dynamic errors from source impedance up to 100 kΩ while maintaining DC accuracy.
It supports both internal (307.2 kHz) and external oscillator modes, delivers 24-bit serial output via 4-wire SPI-compatible interface, and achieves simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection through adaptive digital filtering - all within a single conversion cycle with no latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| INL | 2 ppm of VREF - enables ±0.0002% linearity-critical measurements in precision sensor systems. |
| Offset Error | 1 ppm of VREF - ensures sub-microvolt baseline stability for zero-point-sensitive applications. |
| Full-Scale Error | ±32 ppm of VREF - supports high-accuracy scaling without per-unit calibration. |
| Noise | 0.6 µVRMS - corresponds to 0.02 LSB transition noise, preserving 16-bit effective resolution. |
| Input Range | –0.5×VREF to +0.5×VREF differential - supports bipolar signals with rail-to-rail common-mode (GND to VCC). |
| Power Supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-supply industrial and battery-powered systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial temperature environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 15 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FO (1) | Frequency control input | Selects internal oscillator (GND) or external clock source - determines conversion rate and filter null placement. |
| SDI (2) | Serial data input | Configures next channel selection (CH0–CH3, COM) during data transfer - first conversion after change is valid. |
| SCK (3) | Bidirectional clock I/O | Master mode: outputs internal SCK (38.4 kHz); slave mode: accepts external SCK ≤4 MHz - auto-detected at power-up/CS edge. |
| CS (4) | Active-low chip select | Wakes device from sleep (LOW), initiates data I/O, and aborts transfer if raised mid-cycle - controls power state transitions. |
| SDO (5) | Three-state serial data output | Outputs 24-bit result on falling SCK edges; indicates conversion status (HIGH = in progress, LOW = complete) when CS is LOW. |
| GND (6) | Analog/digital ground | Common reference for analog inputs, reference, and digital interface - must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| COM (7) | Common negative input | Shared IN– for all single-ended channels - extends input common-mode range to GND – 0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V. |
| CH0–CH3 (8–11) | Analog input channels | Programmable as single-ended (vs COM) or differential pairs - support rail-to-rail signals with zero differential input current. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation; requires 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass near pin for stable conversion. |
| REF+ / REF– (13–14) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1 V to VCC differential voltage; common-mode range spans GND to VCC - enables flexible reference sourcing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Easy Drive input current cancellation | Eliminates differential input current errors - enables direct connection of thermocouples, RTDs, and bridge sensors up to 100 kΩ source impedance without buffer amplifiers. |
| No-latency digital filter | Settles in one conversion cycle - eliminates traditional oversampling delay and allows immediate channel switching with guaranteed first-sample validity. |
| Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection | Integrated adaptive notch filtering - rejects both line frequencies without external components or configuration changes. |
| Per-conversion auto-calibration | Continuous offset and full-scale correction - maintains 1 ppm offset and 32 ppm full-scale accuracy across temperature, supply, and channel changes. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | GND to VCC independent of reference voltage - simplifies signal conditioning for sensors operating outside reference bounds. |
| Low-power sleep mode | 1 µA typical current - reduces system power by >100× when idle, ideal for battery-operated or energy-conscious designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPWR | 24-bit resolution, 4-kSPS max, integrated PGA and sensor burnout detection - higher resolution but larger package (20-TSSOP) and no Easy Drive current cancellation. | Preferred for ultra-high-resolution weigh scales or medical diagnostics; less suitable for high-impedance unbuffered sensors due to input bias current. | Select ADS124S08IPWR when 24-bit resolution and onboard PGA outweigh need for zero-differential-input-current operation. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 24-bit, 10 SPS, internal reference, 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply only - lacks simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection and rail-to-rail input common-mode range. | Better suited for low-voltage portable devices; incompatible with 5 V industrial systems or wide common-mode sensor interfaces. | Choose MAX11206ETL+ for battery-powered, low-voltage, low-data-rate applications where integrated reference simplifies design. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPWR and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF uniquely combines 16-bit precision, zero-differential-input-current operation, simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection, and rail-to-rail input common-mode range in a compact 4 mm × 3 mm DFN - making it optimal for industrial sensor digitization where external buffering must be avoided.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF?
The LTC2488IDE#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, qualifying it for extended industrial environments. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies across all specified electrical characteristics including INL, offset error, and full-scale error - ensuring consistent 16-bit performance without derating.
Does the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF accepts a fully differential external reference (REF+ and REF–), but it does not require one: REF+ may be tied to VCC and REF– to GND for simplest operation. The reference voltage range is 0.1 V to VCC, and the device maintains 2 ppm INL and 1 ppm offset error across this range when used within datasheet conditions.
How does Easy Drive technology work in the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF?
Easy Drive in the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF uses a patented passive sampling network that automatically cancels differential input current - eliminating dynamic errors from source impedances up to 100 kΩ. This allows rail-to-rail input signals and high-impedance sensors (e.g., thermocouples, RTDs) to connect directly without external op-amps, while preserving DC accuracy and 0.6 µVRMS noise performance.
Can the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF reject both 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference simultaneously?
Yes, the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF provides simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection via its integrated digital filter - achieving ≥87 dB normal-mode rejection at both frequencies without external components or configuration. This is verified in the Converter Characteristics table under "Input Normal Mode Rejection 50Hz/60Hz ±2%" and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2488IDE#TRPBF in active and sleep modes?
The LTC2488IDE#TRPBF draws 160 µA typical conversion current and 1 µA typical sleep current (at TA = 25°C). In sleep mode - entered automatically when CS is HIGH - power drops by over two orders of magnitude, enabling ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered or intermittently sampled systems while retaining conversion result in static shift register.
