Product details
Overview
LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower 8-bit successive approximation ADC with integrated sample-and-hold, single-supply operation (2.65V to 4.0V), differential analog input, and 3-wire serial interface. It draws only 80 μA during conversion at 33 kHz sampling rate and drops to 1 nA in shutdown mode. Its ±0.5 LSB total unadjusted error over temperature and 16 μs conversion time make it suitable for precision battery-powered sensor monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.65V minimum supply voltage, differential input architecture, 1 nA shutdown current, SO-8 package compatibility, and ratiometric operation with external reference or VCC-based scaling.
Technical Context
This switched-capacitor ADC uses a capacitive DAC and SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold. Conversion is initiated by CS low, followed by an 8-clock-cycle sequence where data shifts out MSB-first on DOUT synchronized to CLK falling edges.
The device supports ratiometric operation using either an external reference (VREF) or VCC as full-scale reference. Its high-impedance analog inputs (±1.0 μA leakage) and 25 pF on-channel input capacitance enable direct connection to low-output-impedance sensors without buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for reliable control loop feedback. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.65V to 4.0V - enables operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0–3.7V) or regulated 3.3V rail without LDO overhead. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 33 kHz - supports real-time monitoring of fast transients in battery gas gauging or motor current sensing. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±0.5 LSB over temperature - ensures <10 mV absolute accuracy at 2.5V reference (1 LSB = 9.8 mV), critical for calibrated sensor interfaces. |
| Conversion Time | 16 μs - fixed 8-clock-cycle latency at 500 kHz clock; enables deterministic timing in time-critical embedded firmware. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 nA typical - reduces quiescent power to <3 nW, extending shelf life of sealed remote sensors. |
| Analog Input Type | Differential (IN+, IN−) - rejects common-mode noise up to VCC, essential for isolated or noisy industrial signal chains. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8), 150°C max junction temperature, θJA = 175°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS/SHDN | Chip Select / Shutdown Control | Active-low enable; high state disconnects internal power rails, reducing ICC to 1 nA - used for duty-cycled measurement bursts. |
| 2: +IN | Differential Analog Input (Positive) | High-impedance input (±1.0 μA leakage); accepts signals up to VCC + 0.05V - directly interfaces with bridge sensors or op-amp outputs. |
| 3: −IN | Differential Analog Input (Negative) | Matches +IN characteristics; enables true differential measurement rejecting ground bounce and EMI. |
| 4: GND | Analog Ground Reference | Must connect to low-noise analog ground plane; separates analog return from digital switching currents. |
| 5: VREF | External Reference Input | Defines full-scale range; supports 2.5V reference for 9.8 mV/LSB resolution or ratiometric use with precision voltage dividers. |
| 6: DOUT | Serial Data Output | MSB-first, 8-bit output synchronized to CLK falling edge; tri-state when CS high - allows bus sharing with other peripherals. |
| 7: CLK | Serial Interface Clock | Accepts 25–250 kHz clock (at 2.65V); rising edge samples DIN (not used in LTC1096L), falling edge clocks DOUT. |
| 8: VCC | Power Supply Input | Single supply input; requires local 1 μF ceramic bypass to GND - powers internal bias, reference buffer, and logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 80 μA active current at 33 kHz sampling enables >10-year battery life in 1-sample-per-second wake-up systems. |
| Differential Input Architecture | Rejects common-mode noise up to VCC, eliminating need for instrumentation amplifiers in thermocouple or strain gauge interfaces. |
| 3-Wire Serial Interface | Requires only CS, CLK, and DOUT - simplifies PCB routing and reduces MCU GPIO usage versus parallel or SPI-compatible parts. |
| On-Chip Sample-and-Hold | Acquires analog input during first 1.5 clock cycles - eliminates external S/H circuitry and associated board space and cost. |
| Ratiometric Capability | Operates with VCC as reference, enabling accurate measurements even with varying supply voltage (e.g., discharging battery). |
Applications
| Battery Gas Gauging | Remote Temperature Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit micropower ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 2.7–5.25V supply; 1 μs conversion; SPI-compatible 4-wire interface; no differential input. | Requires external op-amp for differential signals; higher speed but higher 1.2 mA active current limits battery life. | Select when faster throughput (>200 kSPS) and SPI compatibility outweigh micropower needs. |
| MAX11100ASA+ | 2.7–3.6V supply; 12-bit resolution; 1.5 μA shutdown; SPI interface; pseudo-differential input. | Higher resolution but larger 12-bit word length increases serial transfer time and MCU processing load. | Select when 12-bit precision is required and system can accommodate 3.3V-only operation and SPI protocol. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11100ASA+, the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF delivers superior energy efficiency (1 nA vs ≥1 μA shutdown) and native differential input support, making it optimal for ultra-low-power, noise-immune sensor front-ends where 8-bit resolution suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF operates down to 2.65V over its full temperature range (0°C to 70°C). Below this voltage, specifications such as total unadjusted error, conversion time, and digital timing margins are not guaranteed. The part remains functional but may exhibit increased offset error or failed conversions at 2.60V or lower.
Does the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF require an external reference voltage, or can it operate ratiometrically?
The LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF supports both modes: it accepts an external reference on the VREF pin (e.g., 2.5V for 9.8 mV/LSB resolution), or it can use VCC as the reference for ratiometric operation - ideal for battery voltage monitoring where reference drift matches supply variation.
How does the shutdown mode of the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF reduce power consumption?
When CS/SHDN is held high, the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF disconnects internal power rails and disables all analog and digital circuitry except leakage paths, reducing supply current to 1 nA typical. This enables multi-year operation in intermittently sampled sensor nodes without compromising conversion accuracy upon wake-up.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF at 2.65V supply?
At VCC = 2.65V, the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF supports a maximum clock frequency of 250 kHz. Exceeding this limit risks timing violations in setup/hold windows (e.g., tsuDI = 1 μs), potentially causing incorrect bit reads or corrupted conversion results.
Can the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF interface directly with a microcontroller's GPIO pins without level-shifting?
Yes - the LTC1096LCS8#TRPBF's digital inputs (CS, CLK) accept VIH ≥ 1.9V and VIL ≤ 0.45V at 2.65V supply, matching standard 3.3V and 2.8V GPIO logic thresholds. Its DOUT output drives VOH ≥ 2.3V and VOL ≤ 0.3V under 360 μA load, ensuring robust interfacing with most modern MCUs.
