FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2451 is an ultra-tiny, 16-bit, analog-to-digital
converter. The LTC2451 uses a single 2.7V to 5.5V sup-
ply, accepts a single-ended analog input voltage and
communicates through an I2C interface. The converter
is available in an 8-pin, 3mm × 2mm DFN or TSOT-23
package. It includes an integrated oscillator that does not
require any external components. It uses a delta-sigma
modulator as a converter core and provides single-cycle
settling time for multiplexed applications. The LTC2451
includesaproprietaryinputsamplingschemethatreduces
the average input sampling current several orders of
magnitude lower than conventional Δ∑ converters.

Internal Oscillator—No External Components
Required
The LTC2451 is capable of up to 60 conversions per
second and, due to the very large oversampling ratio,
has extremely relaxed antialiasing requirements. In the
30Hz mode, the LTC2451 includes continuous internal
offset calibration algorithms which are transparent to the
user, ensuring accuracy over time and over the operating

Industrial Process Control
Following a single conversion, the LTC2451 can auto-
matically enter sleep mode and reduce its power to less
than 0.2μA. If the user reads the ADC once per second,
the LTC2451 consumes an average of less than 50μW
from a 2.7V supply.
