Product details
Overview
LTC2497CUHF#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 16-channel (8-differential) delta-sigma ADC with Easy Drive input current cancellation, I²C interface, and integrated oscillator. It delivers 2 ppm INL, 1 ppm offset error, and simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection - enabling direct digitization of high-impedance sensors in industrial process control systems without external buffering.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2497CUHF#PBF datasheet, LTC2497CUHF#PBF pinout, LTC2497CUHF#PBF application, or LTC2497CUHF#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail common-mode input range (GND to VCC), zero differential input current, no-latency conversion settling, and 38-pin QFN package compatibility with space-constrained sensor front-ends.
Technical Context
The LTC2497CUHF#PBF implements a 3rd-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 sampling network cancels differential input current dynamically, eliminating errors from source impedance mismatch up to 100 kΩ.
It operates with internal 307.2 kHz oscillator (fO = GND) or accepts external clock (10–1000 kHz) for configurable data rate and notch tuning. The I²C interface supports 27 slave addresses plus global sync address, with fast-mode (400 kHz) timing compliance and built-in hysteresis on SCL/SDA.
Key Specifications

| INL | 2 ppm of VREF - enables ±0.00003% linearity-critical measurements in precision instrumentation. |
| Offset Error | 1 µV typical - eliminates need for system-level zero-point calibration in low-drift temperature sensing. |
| Full-Scale Error | 15 ppm of VREF - ensures accuracy within 0.0015% of span without per-channel gain trimming. |
| Noise (RMS) | 0.6 µV RMS - corresponds to 0.02 LSB transition noise, supporting sub-microvolt signal resolution. |
| Common-Mode Range | GND to VCC - allows direct interfacing to sensors operating beyond reference rails, e.g., thermocouples or bridge outputs. |
| Power Supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation from Li-ion, USB, or industrial 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Conversion Time | 144.1 ms (internal clock) - sets default output data rate at ~6.9 Hz with inherent 50/60 Hz rejection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5 mm × 7 mm) 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, 4, 6, 31–34, Exposed Pad 39) | System Ground Reference | Seven dedicated ground pins + exposed pad ensure low-impedance return paths for analog, digital, and power domains - critical for 16-bit noise floor integrity. |
| SCL (Pin 2) | I²C Serial Clock Input | Slave-only clock input; accepts standard/fast-mode frequencies up to 400 kHz; defines data sampling edge for SDA. |
| SDA (Pin 3) | I²C Bidirectional Data Line | Open-drain output during read; high-impedance input during write; requires external pull-up to VCC. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Common Negative Input | Shared IN– node for all 16 single-ended channels; supports rail-to-rail voltage (GND – 0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V). |
| CH0–CH15 (Pins 8–23) | Analog Input Channels | Programmable as 16 single-ended or 8 differential pairs; each accepts full common-mode range independent of VREF. |
| MUXOUTP/N (Pins 24, 27) | Multiplexer Output Terminals | Accessible pre-ADC nodes for optional external amplification; enable shared amplifier topology across all channels. |
| ADCINP/N (Pins 25, 26) | ADC Input Terminals | Direct connection points to delta-sigma modulator; short to MUXOUTP/N when no external buffer is used. |
| VCC (Pin 28) | Positive Supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation; requires 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass close to pin for stable conversion. |
| REF+/REF– (Pins 29, 30) | Differential Reference Inputs | Accept 0.1 V to VCC differential range; common-mode voltage independent of VREF - enables ratiometric or floating reference designs. |
| fO (Pin 35) | Oscillator Control | Logic-low selects internal 307.2 kHz clock; external square wave (10–1000 kHz) enables custom data rate and notch tuning. |
| CA0–CA2 (Pins 36–38) | I²C Address Bits | Three-state inputs (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) configure one of 27 unique slave addresses; FLOAT = high-impedance state. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS124S08IPBSR | 24-bit resolution, SPI interface, 32-kSPS max rate; no integrated oscillator; requires external reference; higher power (350 µA active). | Better resolution for weigh scales; less suitable for I²C-based microcontrollers or low-power sensor nodes. | Choose ADS124S08IPBSR when 24-bit resolution and faster throughput outweigh I²C compatibility and ultra-low sleep current. |
| MAX11206ETX+ | 24-bit, I²C, 10-ppm INL, 1.2 µV offset; no Easy Drive; requires external buffer for >10 kΩ sources; 16-pin TQFN. | Lower channel count (8 single-ended); lacks simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection; smaller footprint but higher input impedance sensitivity. | Choose MAX11206ETX+ for compact 8-channel designs where external buffering is acceptable and line rejection is handled digitally. |
Compared with LTC2497CUHF#PBF, ADS124S08IPBSR offers higher resolution but demands SPI host support and consumes 20× more active current, while MAX11206ETX+ fits tighter layouts but forfeits rail-to-rail input capability and dynamic input current cancellation - making LTC2497CUHF#PBF optimal for unbuffered, multi-sensor, I²C-based industrial front-ends.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2497CUHF#PBF?
The LTC2497CUHF#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). This is confirmed by the "UHF" package suffix and order information table specifying "0°C to 70°C" for part number LTC2497CUHF#PBF. The device meets all electrical specifications across this full range, including INL ≤ 2 ppm, offset drift ≤ 10 nV/°C, and PSRR ≥ 120 dB.
Does the LTC2497CUHF#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No - the LTC2497CUHF#PBF accepts an external differential 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 range is 0.1 V to VCC, and the device maintains full 16-bit performance across this range. Internal reference is not provided; external connection is mandatory for conversion.
How does the Easy Drive technology in the LTC2497CUHF#PBF eliminate input current errors?
The LTC2497CUHF#PBF uses a patented passive sampling network that automatically cancels differential input current in real time. This eliminates dynamic errors caused by source impedance mismatch - allowing direct connection of sensors with impedances up to 100 kΩ while preserving DC accuracy. Common-mode current is minimized via balanced routing or matching to reference common-mode voltage.
Can the LTC2497CUHF#PBF perform simultaneous sampling across multiple channels?
No - the LTC2497CUHF#PBF is a multiplexed ADC with sequential channel scanning. It supports up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential inputs, but only one pair is converted per cycle. However, its "no latency" architecture ensures the first result after any channel change is fully settled and accurate - eliminating traditional filter delay penalties seen in other delta-sigma converters.
What is the function of the fO pin on the LTC2497CUHF#PBF?
The fO pin on the LTC2497CUHF#PBF controls the conversion clock source. When pulled to GND, it selects the internal 307.2 kHz oscillator, setting default conversion time at 144.1 ms. When driven with an external square wave (10–1000 kHz), it overrides the internal clock - enabling adjustable data rates and precise tuning of the digital filter's 50/60 Hz rejection nulls.
