Product details
Overview
LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a 24-bit, 16-channel (8-differential) delta-sigma ADC with Easy Drive input current cancellation, integrated temperature sensor (±2°C absolute accuracy), and programmable 50Hz/60Hz rejection. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers 600nV RMS noise, and supports rail-to-rail inputs with zero differential input current - enabling direct digitization of high-impedance sensors in precision industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF pinout, LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF application, or LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-bit no-missing-codes resolution, 2ppm INL, 1ppm offset error, integrated oscillator, and 38-lead QFN (5mm × 7mm) package with exposed thermal pad - all critical for low-drift, multi-sensor measurement designs requiring simultaneous AC-line rejection.
Technical Context
The LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF implements a 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and auto-calibration engine that continuously removes external amplifier offset and drift. Its patented Easy Drive sampling scheme cancels differential input current dynamically, eliminating errors from source impedance mismatch without on-chip buffers.
It features a configurable 4-wire SPI interface supporting both internal SCK (38.4kHz) and external clock modes, selectable line-frequency rejection (50Hz, 60Hz, or simultaneous), and multiplexer output access (MUXOUTP/MUXOUTN) for shared external amplification across all 16 channels - with first-conversion validity after channel change and no latency digital filter settling.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF?
The LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Order Information section of the official datasheet. The device uses internal thermal compensation to maintain 2ppm INL and ±2°C temperature sensor accuracy across this full range, making it suitable for commercial and light-industrial environments where extended temperature grades are not required.
Does the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF requires an external differential reference applied to REF+ and REF– pins. The reference voltage range is 0.1V to VCC, and the device supports ratiometric operation - meaning the full-scale input range scales linearly with VREF. No internal reference is provided; however, the integrated oscillator and temperature sensor operate independently of the reference, ensuring stable timing and thermal measurement regardless of VREF choice.
How does the Easy Drive technology in the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF eliminate input current errors?
The LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF implements a patented sampling scheme that automatically cancels differential input current by balancing charge injection across successive sampling phases. This eliminates dynamic errors caused by source impedance mismatch - allowing accurate digitization of signals from sources with impedances up to 10MΩ without external buffers. The technique is intrinsic to the modulator architecture and requires no user configuration; it functions continuously during all conversion modes.
Can the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF measure its own die temperature?
Yes, the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF includes an integrated PTAT (proportional-to-absolute-temperature) sensor with 1/30°C resolution and ±2°C absolute accuracy over 0°C to 70°C. To read die temperature, the user configures the ADC to select the internal sensor channel via SDI command - no external components are needed. The output is a calibrated 24-bit code directly convertible to °C using the documented transfer function (27.8mV at 27°C, 93.5µV/°C slope).
What is the purpose of the MUXOUTP and MUXOUTN pins on the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF?
The MUXOUTP and MUXOUTN pins on the LTC2498CUHF#TRPBF provide buffered access to the analog multiplexer output before the ADC core. They enable external instrumentation amplifiers to be shared across all 16 input channels - reducing component count, board area, and matching errors. When used, the amplifier output connects directly to ADCINP/ADCINN, and the auto-calibration engine continuously corrects for its offset and drift, preserving system-level accuracy without manual recalibration.
