Product details
Overview
LTC2499IUHF#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 24-bit, 16-channel (8-differential) delta-sigma ADC with I²C interface, Easy Drive input current cancellation, and integrated temperature sensor. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers 600nV RMS noise, 2ppm INL, and supports simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection - enabling high-accuracy direct digitization of rail-to-rail, high-impedance sensor signals in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2499IUHF#PBF datasheet, LTC2499IUHF#PBF pinout, LTC2499IUHF#PBF application, or LTC2499IUHF#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-latency ∆Σ architecture, programmable rejection modes, integrated PTAT temperature sensor (±2°C absolute accuracy), 38-pin QFN package, and I²C address configurability via CA0–CA2 pins.
Technical Context
The LTC2499IUHF#PBF employs a third-order delta-sigma modulator with decimating FIR filter and auto-calibration per conversion cycle, eliminating latency and ensuring first-conversion validity after channel change. Its patented Easy Drive front end cancels differential input current dynamically, enabling direct connection of sensors with source impedances up to 100kΩ without external buffering.
It integrates a precision internal oscillator (307.2kHz nominal), supports external clocking via fO pin, and provides programmable 50Hz/60Hz/simultaneous rejection. The device features GND-to-VCC common-mode input range independent of reference voltage, and allows mixed single-ended/differential channel selection with full DC accuracy across all 16 inputs.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5mm × 7mm) plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 39 = GND, must be soldered).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,4,6,31–34) | Ground reference | Seven dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR; all must connect to PCB ground plane. |
| SCL (Pin 2) | I²C clock input | Slave-only interface; accepts external clock up to 400kHz; timing-critical for data sampling alignment. |
| SDA (Pin 3) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain output requiring pull-up; handles 32-bit read/write transfers including channel configuration and result data. |
| 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 input channels | Configurable as 16 single-ended or 8 differential pairs; each pair supports ±0.5×VREF differential input range. |
| MUXOUTP/N (Pins 24,27) | Multiplexer outputs | Enable optional external amplifier sharing across all channels; support auto-calibration of amplifier offset/drift. |
| ADCINP/N (Pins 25,26) | ADC analog inputs | Direct connection point to internal modulator; bypasses multiplexer when using external signal conditioning. |
| VCC (Pin 28) | Power supply | Requires local decoupling: 10µF tantalum || 0.1µF ceramic; supports 0.8mW typical power consumption. |
| REF+/REF– (Pins 29,30) | Differential reference | Set full-scale range (0.1V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC); reference common-mode range independent of input common mode. |
| fO (Pin 35) | Frequency control | Selects internal oscillator (GND) or external clock (10–1000kHz); determines conversion time and rejection null placement. |
| CA0–CA2 (Pins 36–38) | I²C address bits | Three-state (LOW/HIGH/floating) configuration enables 27 unique addresses; floating = high-impedance state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No Latency ∆Σ Architecture | Single-cycle digital filter settling ensures immediate validity of first conversion after channel change - eliminates dead time in multiplexed systems. |
| Easy Drive Input Current Cancellation | Automatic cancellation of differential input current enables direct digitization of high-impedance sources (e.g., RTDs, pH electrodes) without buffer-induced errors. |
| Integrated Temperature Sensor | 1/30°C resolution and ±2°C absolute accuracy provide on-chip thermal reference for drift compensation in precision analog front ends. |
| Programmable AC Rejection | Configurable 50Hz, 60Hz, or simultaneous dual-frequency rejection via internal oscillator or external fO clock - essential for EMI-prone industrial environments. |
| Auto-Calibration per Conversion | Continuous offset and full-scale correction removes drift from temperature, supply variation, and channel switching - no user intervention required. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2499IUHF#PBF?
The LTC2499IUHF#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, matching the "I" grade specification. This extended range supports deployment in industrial control cabinets, outdoor metering equipment, and automotive under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. The device maintains full performance specifications-including 2ppm INL and ±0.5µV offset-across this entire range.
Does the LTC2499IUHF#PBF require external amplification for high-impedance sensors?
No, the LTC2499IUHF#PBF does not require external amplification for high-impedance sensors due to its patented Easy Drive input current cancellation technology. This feature eliminates differential input current errors, allowing direct connection of sensors with source impedances up to 100kΩ while preserving DC accuracy. The LTC2499IUHF#PBF achieves this without compromising noise or linearity specifications.
How does the LTC2499IUHF#PBF handle 50Hz and 60Hz interference rejection?
The LTC2499IUHF#PBF supports three rejection modes: 50Hz only, 60Hz only, or simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz rejection. This is achieved through programmable digital filtering synchronized to either its internal 307.2kHz oscillator or an external clock applied to the fO pin. The simultaneous mode uses a 280kHz external clock to place nulls at both frequencies-critical for global deployments where mains frequency varies by region.
Can the LTC2499IUHF#PBF measure temperature internally?
Yes, the LTC2499IUHF#PBF includes an integrated high-accuracy PTAT temperature sensor with 1/30°C resolution and ±2°C absolute accuracy across –40°C to +85°C. It can be selected as an input channel via I²C command, providing on-chip thermal monitoring for drift compensation, system health diagnostics, or ambient temperature logging without external components.
What is the significance of the "UHF" package designation in LTC2499IUHF#PBF?
The "UHF" in LTC2499IUHF#PBF denotes the 38-lead, 5mm × 7mm plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 39 = GND). This compact, surface-mount package offers excellent thermal performance and low inductance, supporting the LTC2499IUHF#PBF's 0.8mW typical power dissipation and high PSRR. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for proper electrical and thermal operation.
