Product details
Overview
DC1444A-A from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a demonstration board for the LTC2305 2-channel, 12-bit I²C-compatible successive approximation ADC. It provides complete signal conditioning, reference decoupling, and I²C interface circuitry to evaluate unipolar/bipolar differential or single-ended analog inputs with 73.5dB SNR, 1.3μs conversion time, and 14ksps throughput - ideal for precision industrial sensor data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the DC1444A-A datasheet, DC1444A-A pinout, DC1444A-A application, or DC1444A-A equivalent, this board enables rapid validation of LTC2305 performance in battery-powered instrumentation, motor control feedback loops, and isolated remote sensing systems under real-world layout and noise conditions.
Technical Context
The DC1444A-A implements the full LTC2305 evaluation schematic per Linear Technology's 23015fb datasheet, including dual 10μF + 0.1μF bypassing on REFCOMP, 2.2μF on VREF, and 10μF + 0.1μF on VDD. It supports all software-configurable modes: unipolar/bipolar input range selection, differential/single-ended channel configuration, and sleep mode activation via I²C command.
It routes all 12 pins of the LTC2305 MSOP package-including AD0/AD1 address pins, SDA/SCL, CH0/CH1, VREF, REFCOMP, VDD, and GND-with impedance-controlled traces and dedicated ground planes. The board accepts external analog sources via screw terminals and provides test points for VREF (2.5V), REFCOMP (4.096V), and digital I²C signals.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DC1444A-A evaluation board?
The DC1444A-A evaluation board is a fully assembled and tested hardware platform for evaluating the LTC2305 2-channel, 12-bit I²C ADC. It provides all necessary support circuitry - including precision reference decoupling, I²C pull-ups, analog input conditioning, and power regulation - enabling immediate functional validation and performance characterization of the DC1444A-A's target device without custom PCB design.
Does the DC1444A-A support both unipolar and bipolar input configurations?
Yes, the DC1444A-A supports both unipolar (0V to 4.096V) and bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges as configured via the LTC2305's I²C DIN word. The board routes CH0 and CH1 to screw terminals with jumpers allowing differential or single-ended connections, and its REFCOMP output (4.096V) and internal 2.5V VREF enable seamless switching between modes during evaluation of the DC1444A-A.
Can the DC1444A-A be used with the LTC2301 instead of the LTC2305?
No - the DC1444A-A is specifically designed for the LTC2305 2-channel variant. While the LTC2301 and LTC2305 share pin compatibility in the same MSOP package, the DC1444A-A's analog input routing, jumper options, and firmware examples are optimized for dual-channel operation and CH0/CH1 multiplexing. Using it with the LTC2301 would require manual rework and is not supported by the DC1444A-A documentation.
What power supply requirements does the DC1444A-A have?
The DC1444A-A requires a 5V ±5% DC input supplied via its 2.1mm barrel jack. It incorporates reverse-polarity protection and local regulation to deliver clean 5V to the LTC2305's VDD pin. The board draws approximately 2.2mA in active mode and less than 10μA in sleep mode - matching the DC1444A-A's target device's power profile for accurate system-level current measurement.
Where can I find the schematics and layout files for the DC1444A-A?
Complete schematics, bill of materials (BOM), Gerber files, and assembly drawings for the DC1444A-A are available for download from Analog Devices' official website under the DC1444A-A product page (document number DC1444A-A). These resources are provided free of charge and include revision-controlled design files aligned with the shipped hardware version.
