Product details
Overview
LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 16-channel delta-sigma ADC with integrated PGA, Easy Drive input current cancellation, and on-chip temperature sensor. It supports up to 8 differential or 16 single-ended inputs, delivers 600nV RMS noise, 2ppm INL, and operates from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. It is used in high-accuracy industrial data acquisition systems requiring rail-to-rail input digitization of high-impedance sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF pinout, LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF application, or LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable gain (1–256), simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection, no-latency digital filter settling, internal oscillator, and 38-pin QFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF employs a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filtering and auto-calibration circuitry to achieve 16-bit resolution without missing codes. Its Easy Drive architecture cancels differential input current dynamically, enabling direct digitization of rail-to-rail signals with source impedances up to 100kΩ while maintaining DC accuracy.
It features dual-speed operation (1x/2x mode), selectable line-frequency rejection (50Hz, 60Hz, or simultaneous), and configurable SPI-compatible 4-wire serial interface with internal or external clocking. The integrated temperature sensor provides 0.5°C resolution and ±2°C absolute accuracy over 0°C to 70°C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision measurement integrity. |
| INL | 2 ppm of VREF - enables sub-μV-level linearity error in 5V full-scale systems. | Offset Error | ±0.5 µV typical - supports ultra-low-offset applications such as strain gauge or thermocouple front-ends. |
| RMS Noise | 0.6 µV RMS - allows detection of sub-microvolt signal changes in low-noise instrumentation. |
| Programmable Gain | 1 to 256 in 8 steps - matches full-scale ranges from mV to V-level inputs without external amplification. |
| Common Mode Range | GND to VCC - permits direct connection to sensors operating at any voltage within supply rails. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports battery-powered and industrial 3.3V/5V systems without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5mm × 7mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 39 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,3,4,5,6,31,32,33) | Ground reference | Eight dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR; all must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Common negative input | Serves as IN– for all single-ended channels; supports rail-to-rail common-mode voltage (GND to VCC). |
| CH0–CH15 (Pins 8–23) | Analog input channels | Configurable as 16 single-ended or 8 differential inputs; each pair accepts bipolar differential input up to ±0.5·VREF/Gain. |
| MUXOUTP/N (Pins 24,27) | Multiplexer outputs | Drive external buffers or connect directly to ADC inputs; enable isolation of sensitive analog front-end from switching noise. |
| ADCINP/N (Pins 25,26) | ADC input terminals | Differential inputs to ΔΣ modulator; optimized for low charge injection and minimal sampling distortion. |
| VCC (Pin 28) | Positive supply | Requires local 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic bypassing; supports wide 2.7V–5.5V operation. |
| REF+/REF– (Pins 29,30) | Differential reference | Set full-scale range independently of supply; VREF = REF+ – REF– must be ≥0.1V and ≤VCC. |
| SDI/SDO/SCK/CS/fO (Pins 34–38) | 4-wire SPI interface | Supports internal/external clocking; CS wake-up triggers conversion; fO selects 307.2kHz internal oscillator or external clock. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPBS | 24-bit resolution, 4-channel, integrated PGA and burnout current; no on-chip temperature sensor; SPI interface only. | Higher resolution but fewer channels; lacks simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection and Easy Drive architecture. | Select when 24-bit precision outweighs channel count and line-rejection requirements. |
| MAX11206ETL+ | 24-bit resolution, 8-channel, internal oscillator, 50/60Hz rejection; no programmable gain; 0.5µV RMS noise. | Lower channel count (8 vs 16), no PGA, higher noise floor; requires external gain stages for mV-level signals. | Select when ultra-low noise is prioritized over gain flexibility and multi-sensor scalability. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPBS and MAX11206ETL+, the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF uniquely combines 16-channel count, programmable gain, Easy Drive input cancellation, and simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection in a single 5×7mm QFN - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-sensor industrial DAQ systems needing robust AC-line immunity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF?
The LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and order information section of the datasheet. The device uses an internal temperature sensor with ±2°C absolute accuracy across this range, and its key specifications-including INL, offset error, and noise-are guaranteed over the full 0°C to 70°C span.
Does the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF support simultaneous 50Hz and 60Hz line-frequency rejection?
Yes, the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF supports simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection mode, which is explicitly listed under Features and Converter Characteristics. In this mode, the digital filter nulls both frequencies in a single conversion cycle (tCONV_1 = 144.1–149.9 ms depending on VCC/VREF), eliminating the need for software-based dual-frequency filtering or hardware notch circuits.
How does the Easy Drive technology in the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF improve high-impedance sensor interfacing?
The Easy Drive technology in the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF automatically cancels differential input current during sampling, removing dynamic errors that would otherwise distort readings from high-impedance sources (e.g., >10kΩ thermistors or pH electrodes). This allows direct connection without external op-amp buffers while preserving DC accuracy-verified by <2ppm INL and ±0.5µV offset error over temperature.
What is the pin configuration and package type of the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF?
The LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF uses a 38-lead plastic QFN package measuring 5mm × 7mm with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 39 = GND). Pin functions include 16 analog inputs (CH0–CH15), COM, MUXOUTP/N, ADCINP/N, REF+/REF–, VCC, GND (8 pins), and 4-wire SPI interface (CS, SDI, SDO, SCK) plus fO. All GND pins must be connected to a low-impedance ground plane.
Can the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF measure its own die temperature?
Yes, the LTC2494CUHF#TRPBF integrates a high-accuracy PTAT temperature sensor with 0.5°C resolution and ±2°C absolute accuracy over 0°C to 70°C. It can be selected via command register configuration, and its output is digitized alongside analog inputs-enabling real-time thermal compensation of sensor readings without external components.
