Easy-to-Use, Ultra-Tiny
16-Bit ΔΣ ADC
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2450-1 is a low power, ultra-tiny 16-bit analog-
to-digital converter designed for space constrained ap-
plications requiring 16-bit performance. The LTC2450-1
uses a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, accepts a single-ended
analog input voltage, and communicates through an SPI
interface. It includes an integrated oscillator that does
not require any external components. The delta-sigma
modulator converter core provides single-cycle settling
time for multiplexed applications. The converter is avail-
able in a 6-pin, 2mm × 2mm DFN package. The LTC2450-1
implements a proprietary input sampling scheme that

Following a conversion, the LTC2450-1 can automatically
enter a sleep mode and reduce its power to less than
500nA. At an output rate of 1Hz, the LTC2450-1 consumes
an average of less than 25μW from a 2.7V supply.
