Product details
Overview
LTC2489CDE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, no-latency delta-sigma ADC with 4-channel (2-differential) analog input capability, Easy Drive input current cancellation, and I²C interface. It delivers 2 ppm INL, 1 ppm offset error, 600 nV RMS noise, simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection, and operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enabling direct digitization of high-impedance sensors in industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2489CDE#PBF datasheet, LTC2489CDE#PBF pinout, LTC2489CDE#PBF application, or LTC2489CDE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its rail-to-rail common-mode input range (GND to VCC), zero differential input current, auto-calibration per conversion, 24-bit I²C output format, and integrated oscillator eliminating external clock requirements.
Technical Context
The LTC2489CDE#PBF implements a third-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and automatic offset/full-scale calibration on every conversion cycle. Its patented Easy Drive front end cancels differential input current via passive sampling network, enabling direct connection of high-impedance sources without buffer amplifiers.
It supports configurable channel selection (CH0–CH3 with COM) for single-ended or differential inputs, features an internal 307.2 kHz oscillator (fO = GND), and provides simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz line-frequency rejection through digital filter nulls - all while maintaining no-latency operation: the first result after channel change is fully settled and valid.
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 - ensures <±0.0002% linearity error for precision measurement applications. |
| Offset Error | 1 µV typical - enables accurate zero-point measurement without manual calibration. |
| Noise (RMS) | 600 nV RMS - corresponds to 0.02 LSB transition noise at 5 V reference, supporting sub-µV signal resolution. |
| Common-Mode Range | GND to VCC - allows rail-to-rail input signals independent of reference voltage setting. |
| Power Supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports battery-powered and industrial 3.3 V/5 V systems with 0.8 mW typical consumption. |
| I²C Addressing | 9 pin-selectable addresses + global sync address - enables multi-device bus configuration without address conflict. |
Pinout & Package
14-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 15 = GND, must be soldered). Pin count and layout match standard JEDEC MO-229WAY.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF– (14) | Differential reference negative input | Sets lower bound of reference voltage; must be ≤ REF+ – 0.1 V for valid operation. |
| REF+ (13) | Differential reference positive input | Defines full-scale range (VREF = REF+ – REF–); common-mode range extends from GND to VCC. |
| VCC (12) | Positive supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation; requires 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| CH0–CH3 (8–11) | Analog input channels | Selectable as IN+ or IN– in single-ended/differential modes; absolute voltage range: GND – 0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V. |
| COM (7) | Common negative input | Shared IN– for all single-ended configurations; enables 4 single-ended or 2 differential inputs. |
| GND (6) | Ground reference | Low-impedance connection required; exposed pad (Pin 15) is also GND and must be soldered. |
| SDA (5) | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; transmits 24-bit conversion result or receives channel select bits. |
| SCL (4) | I²C clock input | Slave-only interface; supports up to 400 kHz clock frequency for fast-mode I²C. |
| CA0, CA1 (2–3) | I²C address configuration | Three-state (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) pins selecting one of nine device addresses on shared bus. |
| fO (1) | Frequency control | Connect to GND for internal 307.2 kHz oscillator; drive externally to override conversion rate and filter nulls. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Easy Drive input current cancellation | Eliminates differential input current errors, enabling direct digitization of sensors with source impedances >100 kΩ without external buffers. |
| No-latency conversion | Digital filter settles in one cycle - first output after channel change is fully accurate and usable immediately. |
| Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection | Hardware-based digital filtering rejects both line frequencies concurrently without software intervention or configuration. |
| Per-conversion auto-calibration | Continuous offset and full-scale correction removes drift due to temperature, supply variation, and channel switching. |
| Rail-to-rail common-mode input | Supports input signals from GND – 0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V independent of reference voltage, simplifying sensor interfacing. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit, 4-channel, I²C, but lacks Easy Drive cancellation and simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection; higher input bias current (150 pA vs. <10 nA). | Requires external op-amp buffering for high-Z sensors; less robust in AC-coupled industrial noise environments. | Prefer LTC2489CDE#PBF when direct sensor interface, line-rejection, or zero-latency operation is required. |
| MAX11613EEE+ | 16-bit, 8-channel, SPI interface only; no integrated oscillator; no simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection; higher noise (1.2 µV RMS). | Needs external clock and SPI host; unsuitable for I²C-only systems or line-noise-sensitive applications. | Choose LTC2489CDE#PBF for I²C compatibility, self-contained timing, and superior noise/line-rejection specs. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MAX11613EEE+, the LTC2489CDE#PBF uniquely combines zero-latency conversion, Easy Drive input cancellation, and simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection in a single I²C device - delivering measurable accuracy and design simplicity advantages in sensor front-end applications where external buffering or post-processing would otherwise be mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2489CDE#PBF?
The LTC2489CDE#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade temperature range is defined by the 'C' suffix in the part number and validated across all electrical specifications including INL, offset error, and noise performance. The device uses internal auto-calibration to maintain accuracy across this range without external compensation.
Does the LTC2489CDE#PBF require an external crystal or clock source?
No, the LTC2489CDE#PBF includes a fully integrated oscillator. When the fO pin is tied to GND, it operates from an internal 307.2 kHz clock - sufficient for standard 15.625 SPS output rate with simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection. An external clock may be applied to fO only if custom data rates or alternate filter nulls are needed.
How does the Easy Drive technology in the LTC2489CDE#PBF eliminate input current errors?
The LTC2489CDE#PBF uses a patented passive sampling network that automatically cancels differential input current during conversion. This eliminates dynamic errors caused by source impedance mismatch, allowing rail-to-rail signals and impedances up to 1 MΩ to be digitized directly - without external op-amps or matched resistor networks.
Can the LTC2489CDE#PBF measure single-ended and differential signals on the same device?
Yes, the LTC2489CDE#PBF supports both configurations. It offers four analog inputs (CH0–CH3) and a dedicated COM pin. Users can configure any pair (e.g., CH0/CH1 or CH0/COM) as differential, or use CH0–CH3 individually against COM for single-ended measurements - all selectable via I²C register writes without hardware changes.
What is the significance of "no latency" in the LTC2489CDE#PBF datasheet?
"No latency" means the LTC2489CDE#PBF's digital filter settles in a single conversion cycle. Unlike conventional delta-sigma ADCs requiring multiple samples to stabilize after channel changes, the first output following any multiplexer selection is fully accurate and meets all specifications - enabling true real-time multiplexed measurement without delay or discarded readings.
