LTC2451
Ultra-Tiny, 16-Bit ΔΣ ADC
with I2C Interface
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
The LTC®2451 is an ultra-tiny, 16-bit, analog-to-digital
converter. The LTC2451 uses a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, 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
includes a proprietary input sampling scheme that reduces
the average input sampling current several orders of
magnitude lower than conventional Δ∑ converters.

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
temperature range. The converter has external REF+ and
REF – pins and the input voltage can range from VREF– to
VREF+. If VREF+ = VCC and VREF– = GND, the input voltage
can range from GND to VCC.
Following a single conversion, the LTC2451 can automatically 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.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pin 1, 5): Ground. Connect to a ground plane through
a low impedance connection.
REF– (Pin 2), REF+ (Pin 3): Differential Reference Input.
The voltage on these pins can have any value between
GND and VCC as long as the reference positive input, REF+,
remains more positive than the negative reference input,
REF–, by at least 2.5V. The differential reference voltage
(VREF = REF+ to REF–) sets the full-scale range.
VCC (Pin 4): Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND
(Pin 1) with a 10μF capacitor in parallel with a low series
inductance 0.1μF capacitor located as close to the part
as possible.
IN (Pin 6): Analog Input. IN’s single-ended input range
is VREF– to VREF+.
SCL (Pin 7): Serial Clock Input of the I2C Interface. The
LTC2451 can only act as a slave and the SCL pin only
accepts an 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.
SDA (Pin 8): Bidirectional Serial Data Line of the I2C Interface. The conversion result is output through the SDA
pin. The pin is high impedance unless the LTC2451 is in
the data output mode. While the LTC2451 is in the data
output mode, SDA is an open-drain pull-down (which
requires an external 1.7k pull-up resistor to VCC).
Exposed Pad (Pin 9): Ground. Must be soldered to PCB
ground.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
Converter Operation Cycle
The LTC2451 is a low power, delta-sigma analog-todigital converter with an I2C interface. Its operation, as
shown in Figure 1, is composed of three successive states:
conversion, sleep, and data input/output.
Initially, at power-up, the LTC2451 is set to its default 60Hz
mode and performs a conversion. Once the conversion is
complete, the device enters the sleep state. While in the
sleep state, power consumption is reduced by several
orders of magnitude. The part remains in the sleep state
as long it is not addressed for a Read or Write operation.
The conversion result is held indefinitely in a static shift
register while the part is in the sleep state.
The device will not acknowledge an external request during the conversion state. After a conversion is finished,
the device is ready to accept a Read/Write request. The
LTC2451’s address is hardwired at 0010100. Once the
LTC2451 is addressed for a Read operation, the device

if the power supply voltage, VCC, is restored within the
operating range (2.7V to 5.5V) before the end of the POR
time interval.
Ease of Use
The LTC2451 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.

begins outputting the conversion result under the control
of the serial clock (SCL). There is no latency in the conversion result. The data output is 16 bits long and outputs
from MSB to LSB. Data is updated on the falling edges of
SCL, allowing the user to reliably latch data on the rising
edge of SCL. In Write operation, the device accepts one
configuration byte and the data is shifted in on the rising
edges of SCL. A new conversion is initiated by a Stop
condition following a valid Read or Write operation, or by
the conclusion of a complete Read cycle (all 16 bits read
out of the device).
Power-Up Sequence
In the 30Hz mode, the LTC2451 performs offset calibrations
during every conversion. This calibration is transparent to
the user and has no effect upon the cyclic operation previously described. The advantage of continuous calibration
is stability of the ADC performance with respect to time
and temperature.
The LTC2451 includes a proprietary input sampling scheme
that reduces the average input current by several orders of
magnitude when compared to traditional delta-sigma architectures. This allows external filter networks to interface
directly to the LTC2451. Since the average input sampling
current is 50nA, an external RC lowpass filter using a 1kΩ
and 0.1μF results in less than 1LSB additional error.
Reference Voltage Range
This converter accepts a truly differential external reference
voltage. The voltage range for the REF+ and REF– pins covers the entire operating range of the device (GND to VCC).
For correct converter operation, VREF+ – VREF– ≥ 2.5V.
The LTC2451 differential reference input range is 2.5V to
VCC. For the simplest operation, REF+ can be shorted to
VCC and REF– can be shorted to GND.
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.
Input Voltage Range
When VCC rises above this 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 LTC2451 starts
a conversion cycle and follows the succession of states
described in Figure 1. The first conversion result following
POR is accurate within the specifications of the device
Ignoring offset and full-scale errors, the converter will
theoretically output an “all zero” digital result when the
input is at VREF– (a zero scale input) and an “all one” digital
result when the input is at VREF+ (a full-scale input). In an
underrange condition, for all input voltages less than the
voltage corresponding to output code 0, the converter will
generate the output code 0. In an overrange condition,

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
for all input voltages greater than the voltage corresponding to output code 65535, the converter will generate the
output code 65535.
finished, a Stop (P) condition is generated by transitioning
SDA from low to high while SCL is pulled high. The bus is
free after a Stop is generated. Start and Stop conditions
are always generated by the master.
I2C INTERFACE
When the bus is in use, it stays busy if a Repeated Start
(Sr) is generated instead of a Stop condition. The Repeated Start (Sr) conditions are functionally identical to
the Start (S).
The LTC2451 communicates through an I2C interface. The
I2C interface is a 2-wire open-drain interface supporting
multiple devices and masters on a single bus. The connected devices can only pull the data line (SDA) low and
never drive it high. SDA is externally connected to the
supply through a pull-up resistor. When the data line is
free, it is pulled high through this resistor. Data on the I2C
bus can be transferred at rates up to 100k/s in the standard
mode and up to 400k/s in the fast mode.
Each device on the I2C bus is recognized by a unique
address stored in that device and can operate either as
a transmitter or receiver, depending on the function of
the device. In addition to transmitters and receivers,
devices can also be considered as masters or slaves when
performing data transfers. A master is the device which
initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates the
clock signals to permit that transfer. Devices addressed
by the master are considered a slave. The address of the
LTC2451 is 0010100.
The LTC2451 can only be addressed as a slave. It can only
transmit the last conversion result. The serial clock line,
SCL, is always an input to the LTC2451 and the serial data
line, SDA, is bidirectional. Figure 2 shows the definition
of the I2C timing.
The Start and Stop Conditions
A Start (S) condition is generated by transitioning SDA from
high to low while SCL is high. The bus is considered to be
busy after the Start condition. When the data transfer is
Data Transferring
After the Start condition, the I2C bus is busy and data
transfer can begin between the master and the addressed
slave. Data is transferred over the bus in groups of nine
bits, one byte followed by one acknowledge (ACK) bit.
The master releases the SDA line during the ninth SCL
clock cycle. The slave device can issue an ACK by pulling
SDA low or issue a Not Acknowledge (NAK) by leaving
the SDA line high impedance (the external pull-up resistor
will hold the line high). Change of data only occurs while
the clock line (SCL) is low.
Data Format
After a Start condition, the master sends a 7-bit address
(factory set at 0010100), followed by a Read request (R)
or Write request (W) bit. The bit R is 1 for a Read request
and 0 for a Write request. If the 7-bit address agrees with
the LTC2451’s address, the device is selected. When the
device is addressed during the conversion state, it does
not accept the request and issues a NAK by leaving the
SDA line high. If the conversion is complete, the LTC2451
issues an ACK by pulling the SDA line low.
The user can send one byte of data into the LTC2451 following a Write request and an ACK. The sequence is shown
in Figure 3. The Write sequence is used solely to set the

conversion speed. The default conversion speed is 60Hz.
The user can specify a 30Hz conversion speed by setting
the eighth bit (S30) = 1, or specify a 60Hz conversion
speed by setting the eighth bit (S30) = 0.
Continuous Read
Conversions from the LTC2451 can be continuously read
(see Figure 7). At the end of a Read operation, a new
conversion automatically begins. At the conclusion of
the conversion cycle, the next result may be read using
the method described above. If the conversion cycle is
not concluded and a valid address selects the device, the
LTC2451 generates a NAK signal indicating the conversion
cycle is in progress.
After a Read request and an ACK, the LTC2451 can output
data, as shown in Figure 4. The data output stream is 16
bits long and is shifted out on the falling edges of SCL. The
first bit is the MSB (D15) and is followed by successively
less significant bits (D14, D13 ...) until the LSB (D0) is
output by the LTC2451. This sequence is summarized in
Figure 5.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Continuous Read/Write
Once the conversion cycle is concluded, the LTC2451 can
be written to, and then read from, using the Repeated Start
(Sr) command.
Figure 7 shows a cycle which begins with a data Write, a
Repeated Start, followed by a Read, and concluded with a
Stop command. The following conversion begins after all
16 bits are read out of the device, or after the Stop command, and uses the newly programmed configuration.
Discarding a Conversion Result and Initiating a New
Conversion with Optional Configuration Updating
At the conclusion of a conversion cycle, a Write cycle
can be initiated. Once the Write cycle is acknowledged, a
Stop (P) command initiates a new conversion. If a new
configuration is required, this data can be written into the
device and a Stop command initiates a new conversion
(see Figure 8).
Synchronizing the LTC2451 with the Global Address Call
The LTC2451 can also be synchronized with the global
address call (see Figure 9). To achieve this, the LTC2451
must first have completed the conversion cycle. The

PRESERVING THE CONVERTER ACCURACY
The LTC2451 is designed to dramatically reduce the conversion result’s sensitivity to device decoupling, PCB layout,
antialiasing circuits, line and frequency perturbations. Nevertheless, in order to preserve the high accuracy capability
of this part, some simple precautions are desirable.
Digital Signal Levels
Due to the nature of CMOS logic, it is advisable to keep
input digital signals near GND or VCC. Voltages in the

master issues a Start, followed by the LTC2451 global
address 1110111, and a Write request. The LTC2451 will
be selected and acknowledge the request. If desired, the
master then sends the Write byte to program the 30Hz
or 60Hz mode. After the optional Write byte, the master
ends the Write operation with a Stop. This will update
the configuration registers (if a Write byte was sent) and
initiate a new conversion on the LTC2451, as shown in
Figure 9. In order to synchronize the start of the conversion without affecting the configuration registers, the
Write operation can be aborted with a Stop. This initiates
a new conversion on the LTC2451 without changing the
configuration registers.

range of 0.5V to VCC – 0.5V may result in additional current leakage from the part.
Driving VCC and GND
In relation to the VCC and GND pins, the LTC2451 combines
internal high frequency decoupling with damping elements,
which reduce the ADC performance sensitivity to PCB
layout and external components. Nevertheless, the very
high accuracy of this converter is best preserved by careful
low and high frequency power supply decoupling.
A 0.1μF, high quality, ceramic capacitor in parallel with a
10μF ceramic capacitor should be connected between the
VCC and GND pins, as close as possible to the package.
The 0.1μF capacitor should be placed closest to the ADC.
It is also desirable to avoid any via in the circuit path,
starting from the converter VCC pin, passing through these
two decoupling capacitors, and returning to the converter
GND pin. The area encompassed by this circuit path, as
well as the path length, should be minimized.
Very low impedance ground and power planes, and star
connections at both VCC and GND pins, are preferable.
The VCC pin should have three distinct connections: the
first to the decoupling capacitors described above, the
second to the ground return for the input signal source,
and the third to the ground return for the power supply
voltage source.
Driving REF+ and REF –
A simplified equivalent circuit for REF+ and REF – is shown
in Figure 10. Like all other A/D converters, the LTC2451
is only as accurate as the reference it is using. Therefore,
it is important to keep the reference line quiet by careful
low and high frequency power supply decoupling.
The LT6660 reference is an ideal match for driving the
LTC2451’s REF+ pin. The LTC6660 is available in a 2mm ×
2mm DFN package with 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V and 5V options.
A 0.1μF, high quality, ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 10μF
ceramic capacitor should be connected between the REF +/
REF – and GND pins, as close as possible to the package. The
0.1μF capacitor should be placed closest to the ADC.

Figure 10. LTC2451 Analog Input and
Reference Pins Equivalent Circuit
Driving IN
The input drive requirements can best be analyzed using
the equivalent circuit of Figure 11. The input signal, VSIG, is
connected to the ADC input pin (IN) through an equivalent
source resistance RS. This resistor includes both the actual
generator source resistance and any additional optional
resistors connected to the input pin. An optional input
capacitor, CIN, is also connected between the ADC input
pin and GND. This capacitor is placed in parallel with the
ADC input parasitic capacitance, CPAR. Depending on the
PCB layout, CPAR has typical values between 2pF and 15pF.
In addition, the equivalent circuit of Figure 11 includes the
converter equivalent internal resistor, RSW, and sampling
capacitor, CEQ.
There are some immediate trade-offs in RS and CIN without
needing a full circuit analysis. Increasing RS and CIN can
provide the following benefits:
1. Due to the LTC2451’s input sampling algorithm, the
input current drawn by the input pin (IN) over a conversion cycle is 50nA. A high RS • CIN attenuates the
high frequency components of the input current, and
RS values up to 1k result in <1LSB additional INL.
2451fd
12
LTC2451
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
2. The bandwidth from VSIG is reduced at the input pin.
This bandwidth reduction isolates the ADC from high
frequency signals, and as such provides simple antialiasing and input noise reduction.
3. Switching transients generated by the ADC are attenuated before they go back to the signal source.
4. A large CIN gives a better AC ground at the input pin,
helping reduce reflections back to the signal source.
5. Increasing RS protects the ADC by limiting the current
during an outside-the-rails fault condition.
There is a limit to how large RS • CIN should be for a given
application. Increasing RS beyond a given point increases
the voltage drop across RS due to the input current,
to the point that significant measurement errors exist.
Additionally, for some applications, increasing the RS • CIN
product too much may unacceptably attenuate the signal
at frequencies of interest.
For most applications, it is desirable to implement CIN as
a high quality 0.1μF ceramic capacitor and RS ≤ 1k. This
capacitor should be located as close as possible to the
input pin. Furthermore, the area encompassed by this circuit
path, as well as the path length, should be minimized.
In the case of a 2-wire sensor that is not remotely
grounded, it is desirable to split RS and place series
resistors in the ADC input line and in the sensor ground
return line, which should be tied to the ADC GND pin using
a star connection topology.
Figure 12 shows the measured LTC2451 INL versus the
input voltage as a function of RS value with an input capacitor CIN = 0.1μF.
In some cases, RS can be increased above these guidelines. The input current is negligible when the ADC is
either in sleep or I/O modes. Thus, if the time constant of
the input RC circuit τ = RS • CIN, is of the same order of
magnitude or longer than the time periods between actual
conversions, then one can consider the input current to
be reduced correspondingly.
These considerations need to be balanced out by the input
signal bandwidth. The 3dB bandwidth ≈ 1/(2πRSCIN).
Finally, if the recommended choice for CIN is unacceptable
for the user’s specific application, an alternate strategy is to
eliminate CIN and minimize CPAR and RS. In practical terms,
this configuration corresponds to a low impedance sensor
directly connected to the ADC through minimum length

through low value sense resistors, temperature measurements, low impedance voltage source monitoring, and so
on. The resultant INL versus VIN is shown in Figure 13.
The measurements of Figure 13 include a capacitor CPAR
corresponding to a minimum sized layout pad and a
minimum width input trace of about 1" length.
Signal Bandwidth and Noise Equivalent Input
Bandwidth
The LTC2451 includes a sinc1 type digital filter with the first
notch located at f0 = 60Hz. As such, the 3dB input signal
bandwidth is 26.54Hz. The calculated LTC2451 input signal
attenuation versus frequency over a wide frequency range
is shown in Figure 14. The calculated LTC2451 input signal
attenuation with low frequencies is shown in Figure 15.
The converter noise level is about 1.4μVRMS , and can be
modeled by a white noise source connected at the input
of a noise-free converter.
For a simple system noise analysis, the input drive circuit can be modeled as a single-pole equivalent circuit
characterized by a pole location, fi, and a noise spectral
density, ni. If the converter has an unlimited bandwidth,
or at least a bandwidth substantially larger than fi, then
the total noise contribution of the external drive circuit
would be:
Vn = ni π / 2 • fi
The total system noise level can then be estimated as
the square root of the sum of (Vn2) and the square of the
LTC2451 noise floor (~2μV2).
