Product details
Overview
LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-channel (8-differential), 16-bit No Latency ΔΣ ADC with Easy Drive input current cancellation, internal oscillator, and simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers 2ppm INL and 1ppm offset error, and directly digitizes rail-to-rail inputs up to 5.5V with full DC accuracy-ideal for high-impedance sensor interfaces in industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF pinout, LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF application, or LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed noise performance (0.6µVRMS), real-world application cards, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF implements a third-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and auto-calibration engine that performs full offset and full-scale correction every conversion cycle. Its patented Easy Drive architecture cancels differential input current dynamically, enabling direct connection of sensors with source impedances up to 100kΩ without external buffering.
It supports both internal (307.2kHz) and external oscillator modes, delivers simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection via digital filtering, and features a 4-wire SPI interface with configurable SCK direction (input or output). The device maintains GND-to-VCC common-mode input range independent of reference voltage, and guarantees no missing codes across its –0.5×VREF to +0.5×VREF differential input span.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-ensures monotonicity and unambiguous code mapping across full input range. |
| INL | 2 ppm of VREF-enables <1 LSB error over 5V full scale, critical for precision instrumentation calibration. |
| Offset Error | 1 ppm of VREF (typical)-translates to ±5 µV max at 5V reference, supporting µV-level sensor signal integrity. |
| Noise | 0.6 µVRMS-equivalent to 0.02 LSB transition noise, allowing stable 16-bit effective resolution without averaging. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V-supports single-supply operation across battery-powered and industrial 3.3V/5V systems. |
| Rejection | Simultaneous 50Hz & 60Hz line-frequency rejection-eliminates need for external notch filters in AC-coupled environments. |
| Power (Active) | 160 µA typical-enables low-power data acquisition in energy-constrained remote monitoring nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5mm × 7mm) plastic QFN with exposed 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 1,3–6,31–33) | Ground reference | Eight dedicated ground pins ensure low-impedance return paths for analog/digital currents and optimal VCC decoupling. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Common negative input | Shared IN– for all single-ended channels; supports rail-to-rail common-mode range (GND–0.3V to VCC+0.3V). |
| CH0–CH15 (Pins 8–23) | Analog multiplexer inputs | 16 programmable inputs supporting mixed single-ended/differential configurations; first conversion after channel change is valid. |
| MUXOUTP/N (Pins 24,27) | Multiplexer outputs | Enable optional external amplifiers shared across all channels; eliminate need for per-channel op-amps. |
| ADCINP/N (Pins 25,26) | ADC front-end inputs | Direct connection point for MUXOUT or external buffers; designed for zero differential input current via Easy Drive. |
| VCC (Pin 28) | Positive supply | Requires local 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND; supports 2.7V–5.5V operation with 0.8mW typical power. |
| REF+/REF– (Pins 29,30) | Differential reference inputs | Accept 0.1V–VCC reference span; common-mode range extends from GND to VCC, independent of VREF. |
| SDI/SCK/SDO/CS (Pins 34,38,37,36) | 4-wire SPI interface | SCK bidirectional (input for external clock, output for internal); CS active-low enables wake-up and data transfer control. |
| fO (Pin 35) | Oscillator mode control | Logic level selects internal (307.2kHz) or external clock; determines conversion rate and digital filter null placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation | Eliminates dynamic differential input current errors-enables direct digitization of high-impedance sensors (e.g., RTDs, thermocouples) without external op-amps. |
| No Latency ΔΣ Architecture | Digital filter settles in one cycle-every conversion result is valid immediately after channel selection, eliminating pipeline delay in multiplexed systems. |
| Auto-Calibration Engine | Performs full offset and full-scale correction on every conversion-maintains 1ppm offset and 15ppm full-scale stability over temperature and time. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Common Mode | GND–0.3V to VCC+0.3V input range-supports direct interfacing to sensors operating beyond supply rails (e.g., ±10V transducers with level-shifting). |
| Simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz Rejection | Fixed digital filter nulls at both frequencies-removes mains interference without software configuration or external components. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Control | Direct Temperature Measurement |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPBS | 24-bit resolution, 4kSPS max, integrated PGA and burnout current sources; requires external reference and clock. | Better resolution but higher power (350µA active); lacks simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection-requires software-based digital filtering. | Select when 24-bit resolution and on-chip PGA are required for low-level sensor signals; avoid if simultaneous line-frequency rejection is mandatory. |
| MAX11206ETN+ | 24-bit resolution, 10SPS max, internal oscillator only, no external clock option; 12-channel (6-diff) vs. 16-channel (8-diff). | Lower channel count and fixed 10SPS rate limit flexibility in multi-rate systems; superior 0.1ppm offset drift but no Easy Drive architecture. | Select for ultra-low-drift applications where channel count and variable data rate are secondary; avoid when interfacing >100kΩ sources without buffering. |
Compared with ADS124S08IPBS and MAX11206ETN+, the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF offers unique Easy Drive input cancellation for direct high-Z sensor interfacing, guaranteed simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection without firmware overhead, and flexible 16-channel routing-all within a 160µA active current budget ideal for battery-operated or thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF?
The LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation. This is confirmed by the "I" grade designation in the part number and specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device maintains full performance-including 2ppm INL and 1ppm offset error-across this entire range, with temperature drift characterized at ≤10nV/°C for offset and ≤0.1ppm/°C for full-scale error.
Does the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No-the LTC2496IUHF#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 0.1V to VCC, and the device guarantees specifications with either internal or external references. The LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF's GND-to-VCC common-mode range is independent of the reference voltage choice.
How does Easy Drive technology benefit sensor interfacing in the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF?
Easy Drive in the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF cancels differential input current dynamically during sampling-enabling direct connection of high-impedance sensors (e.g., RTDs, thermistors, piezoresistive elements) without external op-amps. This eliminates buffer-induced errors (gain/phase mismatch, drift) and reduces system power, board area, and cost. The LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF maintains full 16-bit accuracy even with 100kΩ source impedances, as verified in Figure 2498 TA01b.
Can the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF reject both 50Hz and 60Hz noise simultaneously?
Yes-the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF incorporates a fixed digital filter that provides simultaneous 50Hz and 60Hz line-frequency rejection with >110dB attenuation at both frequencies. This is achieved without software configuration or external components and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range. The LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF achieves this using its internal 307.2kHz oscillator, which places precise nulls in the frequency response at exactly 50Hz and 60Hz.
What is the pin-compatible replacement for the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF?
There is no pin-compatible replacement for the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF. While ADS124S08IPBS and MAX11206ETN+ serve similar multichannel delta-sigma ADC applications, neither matches the 38-pin QFN pinout, signal assignment (e.g., dual MUXOUT/ADCIN pairs), or function-per-pin layout of the LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF. Any substitution requires PCB redesign. The LTC2496IUHF#TRPBF remains the only device offering Easy Drive, simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection, and 16-channel routing in this package.
