Product details
Overview
LTC1098ACS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower 8-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold and software-selectable dual-channel multiplexer. It operates from 3V to 6V supply, draws only 88μA typical active current at 500kHz clock, achieves ±0.5LSB total unadjusted error over temperature, and supports up to 33kHz sampling rate. It is used in battery-powered remote sensing nodes where low quiescent power and direct sensor interfacing are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1098ACS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1098ACS8#PBF pinout, LTC1098ACS8#PBF application, or LTC1098ACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-channel MUX capability, 3-wire serial interface compatibility with microcontrollers, shutdown current of 1nA, SO-8 package footprint, and ratiometric operation with external or internal VCC-referenced conversion.
Technical Context
The LTC1098ACS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold, enabling accurate DC and low-frequency AC signal digitization without external hold circuitry. Its dual-channel MUX allows dynamic selection between CH0 and CH1 inputs via serial DIN command before conversion initiation.
It uses a synchronous half-duplex 4-wire serial interface (CS/SHDN, CLK, DIN, DOUT) with data valid on CLK falling edge and wake-up timing tightly coupled to CS assertion-requiring 10μs minimum delay from CS↓ to first MSBF CLK↓ at 5V operation. Conversion completes in exactly 8 clock cycles with 16μs typical time at 500kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonic transfer function for control-loop feedback. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 88μA typical at 500kHz clock-enables >1-year operation on a single CR2032 in intermittent-sampling systems. |
| Supply Current (Shutdown) | 1nA typical-reduces system standby power to negligible levels in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 33kHz maximum-supports anti-aliasing filtering for signals up to ~12kHz with adequate guard band. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±0.5LSB over full temperature range-eliminates need for system-level calibration in 12-bit-equivalent precision applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V-allows direct connection to sensors operating near rail without level-shifting. |
| Conversion Time | 16μs at 500kHz-enables deterministic timing for real-time interrupt-driven firmware handling. |
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 powers down entire ADC core to 1nA leakage-critical for duty-cycled acquisition. |
| 2: CH0 | Analog Input Channel 0 | High-impedance input (25pF on-channel); accepts 0V to VCC+0.05V-directly interfaces thermistors or voltage dividers. |
| 3: CH1 | Analog Input Channel 1 | Independent high-Z input identical to CH0; selected via DIN bitstream prior to conversion start. |
| 4: GND | Analog Ground Reference | Must connect directly to low-noise analog ground plane-separate from digital ground to prevent noise coupling into conversion. |
| 5: DIN | Serial Data Input | Accepts 1-bit MUX address (CH0=0, CH1=1) on rising CLK edges; enables channel selection without additional GPIO. |
| 6: DOUT | Serial Data Output | Outputs 8-bit result MSB-first on falling CLK edges; tri-states when CS is high-supports shared bus topology. |
| 7: CLK | Serial Shift Clock | Synchronizes all data transfers; min/max frequency defined per supply voltage (25–500kHz at 5V). |
| 8: VCC (VREF) | Power Supply / Reference Input | Single-pin dual-function: supplies core logic and defines full-scale range-enables ratiometric measurement with resistive sensors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-selectable 2-channel MUX | Reduces BOM count and PCB area vs discrete channel switching; eliminates external analog switches and associated leakage errors. |
| 1nA shutdown current | Enables multi-year battery life in wireless sensor nodes with <1s/hour wake-up intervals-verified across –40°C to 85°C. |
| Ratiometric operation with VCC-referenced conversion | Removes need for precision external reference; maintains accuracy despite battery voltage sag in portable instruments. |
| Integrated sample-and-hold | Eliminates external S/H IC and associated layout complexity; guarantees consistent aperture time across channels and temperatures. |
| 3V to 6V single-supply operation | Supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems without level translation-reduces component count. |
Applications

Use Scenario: High-voltage grid monitoring where ADC must digitize CT/PT outputs while maintaining 4kV isolation from MCU side. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digitizes isolated analog signals on primary side; serial data transferred across transformer-coupled barrier using precise 16μs conversion window.

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; SPI-compatible 3-wire interface; 1μA shutdown current; no integrated MUX. | Requires external analog switch for dual-channel use; better suited for single-input high-speed sampling (>50ksps). | Select when higher sampling rate (up to 200ksps) is needed and external MUX is acceptable. |
| MAX1110EUA+ | 2.7–3.6V only; I²C interface; 1.5μA shutdown; integrated temp sensor; no MUX. | Limited to 3.3V systems; lacks channel selection flexibility; adds built-in temperature compensation. | Select for compact 3.3V designs needing on-chip temperature reference but not dual analog inputs. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1110EUA+, the LTC1098ACS8#PBF uniquely combines dual-channel software MUX, 1nA shutdown, and VCC-referenced ratiometric operation in an SO-8 package-making it optimal for ultra-low-power, multi-sensor battery systems where board space and BOM count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by LTC1098ACS8#PBF at 5V operation?
The LTC1098ACS8#PBF supports a maximum clock frequency of 500kHz when operated at VCC = 5V. This enables a 33kHz sampling rate with guaranteed timing margins and ±0.5LSB total unadjusted error across the full temperature range. Exceeding 500kHz may degrade accuracy due to insufficient internal settling time.
Does LTC1098ACS8#PBF require an external voltage reference?
No, the LTC1098ACS8#PBF does not require an external voltage reference. Pin 8 (VCC/VREF) serves as both power supply and reference input, enabling ratiometric operation. When VCC = 5V, full-scale range is 0V to 5.05V; this eliminates reference drift errors and simplifies design for battery-powered systems.
How does the software-selectable MUX in LTC1098ACS8#PBF work?
The LTC1098ACS8#PBF uses DIN (Pin 5) to accept a 1-bit address before conversion: logic '0' selects CH0, logic '1' selects CH1. The MUX is controlled entirely via serial command-no external pins or configuration registers are needed. Channel selection occurs during the CS-active period prior to CLK initiation.
What is the wake-up time requirement for LTC1098ACS8#PBF after CS assertion?
The LTC1098ACS8#PBF requires a minimum 10μs delay from CS falling edge to the falling edge of the first CLK pulse that clocks the MSB bit. This wake-up time ensures internal biasing and capacitor settling. At clock frequencies ≤100kHz, this delay is inherently satisfied by the clock period and no additional timing margin is needed.
Can LTC1098ACS8#PBF operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the LTC1098ACS8#PBF is fully specified for 3V to 6V operation. At VCC = 3.3V, it supports up to 250kHz clock frequency and delivers 16.5kHz maximum sampling rate with ±1.0LSB total unadjusted error. Its 3.3V compatibility enables seamless integration with modern low-voltage microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
