LTC2450
Easy-to-Use, Ultra-Tiny
16-Bit DS ADC
Features
Description
The LTC®2450 is an ultra-tiny 16-bit analog-to-digital
converter. The LTC2450 uses a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply,
accepts a single-ended analog input voltage, and commu-
nicates through an SPI interface. It includes an integrated
oscillator that does not require any external components.
It uses a delta-sigma modulator as a converter core and

tions. The converter is available in a 6-pin, 2mm × 2mm
DFN package. The internal oscillator does not require any
external components. The LTC2450 includes a proprietary
input sampling scheme that reduces the average input
sampling current several orders of magnitude.

The LTC2450 is capable of up to 30 conversions per sec-
ond and, due to the very large oversampling ratio, has

accuracy over time and over the operating temperature
range. The converter uses its power supply voltage as the
reference voltage and the single-ended, rail-to-rail input

Instrumentation
Following a conversion, the LTC2450 can automatically
enter a sleep mode and reduce its power to less than
200nA. If the user samples the ADC once a second, the
LTC2450 consumes an average of less than 50µW from
a 2.7V supply.
