LTC2461/LTC2463 Ultra-Tiny, 16-Bit I2C ΔΣ ADCs with 10ppm/°C Max Precision Reference DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2461/LTC2463 are ultra tiny, 16-Bit analog-todigital converters with an integrated precision reference. They use a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and communicate through an I2C Interface. The LTC2461 is single-ended with a 0V to 1.25V input range and the LTC2463 is differential with a 1.25V input range. Both ADCs include a 1.25V integrated reference with 2ppm/°C drift performance and 0.1% initial accuracy. The converters are available in a 12-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package or an MSOP-12 package. They include an integrated oscillator and perform conversions with no latency for multiplexed applications. The LTC2461/LTC2463 include a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces the average input current several orders of magnitude when compared to conventional delta sigma converters. Following a single conversion, the LTC2461/LTC2463 automatically power down the converter and can also be configured to power down the reference. When both the ADC and reference are powered down, the supply current is reduced to 200nA. The LTC2461/LTC2463 can sample at 60 conversions per second and, due to the very large oversampling ratio, have extremely relaxed antialiasing requirements. Both include continuous internal offset and fullscale calibration algorithms which are transparent to the user, ensuring accuracy over time and the operating temperature range.

LTC2461/LTC2463 PIN FUNCTIONS
REFOUT (Pin 1): Reference Output Pin. Nominally 1.25V, this voltage sets the fullscale input range of the ADC. For noise and reference stability connect to a 0.1μF capacitor tied to GND. This capacitor value must be less than or equal to the capacitor tied to the reference compensation pin (COMP). REFOUT cannot be overdriven by an external reference. For applications that require an input range greater than 0V to 1.25V, please refer to the LTC2451/ LTC2453. COMP (Pin 2): Internal Reference Compensation Pin. For low noise and reference stability, tie a 0.1μF capacitor to GND. A0 (Pin 3): Chip Address Control Pin. The A0 pin can be tied to GND or VCC. If A0 is tied to GND, the LTC2461/ LTC2463 I2C address is 0010100. If A0 is tied to VCC, the LTC2461/LTC2463 I2C address is 1010100. GND (Pins 4, 7, 11): Ground. Connect directly to the ground plane through a low impedance connection. Interface. The SCL (Pin 5): Serial Clock Input of the LTC2461/LTC2463 can only act as a slave and the SCL pin only accepts external serial clock. Data is shifted into the SDA pin on the rising edges of SCL and output through the SDA pin on the falling edges of SCL. I2C SDA (Pin 6): Bidirectional Serial Data Line of the I2C Interface. The conversion result is output through the SDA pin. The pin is high impedance unless the LTC2461/LTC2463 is in the data output mode. While the LTC2461/LTC2463 is in the data output mode, SDA is an open drain pull down (which requires an external 1.7k pull-up resistor to VCC). REF– (Pin 8): Negative Reference Input to the ADC. The voltage on this pin sets the zero input to the ADC. This pin should tie directly to ground or the ground sense of the input sensor. IN+ (LTC2463), IN (LTC2461) (Pin 9): Positive input voltage for the LTC2463 differential device. ADC input for the LTC2461 single-ended device. IN– (LTC2463), GND (LTC2461) (Pin 10): Negative input voltage for the LTC2463 differential device. GND for the LTC2461 single-ended device. VCC (Pin 12): Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND with a 10μF capacitor in parallel with a low-series-inductance 0.1μF capacitor located as close to pin 12 as possible. Exposed Pad (Pin 13 – DFN Package): Ground. Connect directly to the ground plane through a low impedance connection.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION Converter Operation Cycle The LTC2461/LTC2463 are low power, delta sigma, analog to digital converters with a simple I2C interface (see Figure 1). The LTC2463 has a fully differential input while the LTC2461 is single-ended. Both are pin and software compatible. Their operation is composed of three distinct states: CONVERT, SLEEP/NAP and DATA INPUT/OUTPUT , (see Figure 2). The operation begins with the CONVERT state. Once the conversion is finished, the converter automatically powers down (NAP) or, under user control, both the converter and reference are powered down (SLEEP). The conversion result is held in a static register while the device is in this state. The cycle concludes with the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state. Once all 16-bits are read the device begins a new conversion. The CONVERT state duration is determined by the LTC2461/ LTC2463 conversion time (nominally 16.6 milliseconds). Once started, this operation can not be aborted except by a low power supply condition (VCC < 2.1V) which generates an internal power-on reset signal. After the completion of a conversion, the LTC2461/LTC2463 enters the SLEEP/NAP state and remains there until a valid

read/write is acknowledged. Following this condition, the ADC transitions into the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state. While in the SLEEP/NAP state, the LTC2461/LTC2463’s converters are powered down. This reduces the supply

LTC2461/LTC2463 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
current by approximately 50%. While in the Nap state, the reference remains powered up. To power down the reference in addition to the converter, the user can select the SLEEP mode during the DATA INPUT/OUTPUT state. Once the next conversion is complete, SLEEP state is entered and power is reduced to 200nA. The reference is powered up once a valid read/write is acknowledged. The reference startup time is 12ms (if the reference and compensation capacitor values are both 0.1μF). Power-Up Sequence When the power supply voltage (VCC) applied to the converter is below approximately 2.1V, the ADC performs a power-on reset. This feature guarantees the integrity of the conversion result. When VCC rises above this critical threshold, the converter generates an internal power-on reset (POR) signal for approximately 0.5ms. The POR signal clears all internal registers. Following the POR signal, the LTC2461/LTC2463 start a conversion cycle and follow the succession of states shown in Figure 2. The reference startup time following a POR is 12ms (CCOMP = CREFOUT = 0.1μF). The first conversion following power-up will be invalid since the reference voltage has not completely settled. The first conversion following power up can be discarded using the data abort command or simply read and ignored. The following conversions are accurate to the device specifications. Ease of Use The LTC2461/LTC2463 data output has no latency, filter settling delay or redundant results associated with the conversion cycle. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the conversion and the output data. Therefore, multiplexing multiple analog input voltages requires no special actions. The LTC2461/LTC2463 perform offset calibrations every conversion cycle. This calibration is transparent to the user and has no effect upon the cyclic operation described previously. The advantage of continuous calibration is stability of the ADC performance with respect to time and temperature. The LTC2461/LTC2463 include a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces the average input current by several orders of magnitude when compared to traditional deltasigma architectures. This allows external filter networks to interface directly to the LTC2461/LTC2463. Since the average input sampling current is 50nA, an external RC lowpass filter using 1kΩ and 0.1μF results in
