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 I
2
C 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 V
REF–
to
V
REF+
. If V
REF+
= V
CC
and V
REF–
= GND, the input voltage
can range from GND to V
CC
.
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.

Note 3.
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 4.
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from
a straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer
curve. The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization
band. Guaranteed by design, test correlation and 3-point transfer curve
measurement.

Input sampling current is the average input current drawn from
the input sampling network while the LTC2451 is actively sampling the
input. C
