Product details
Overview
LTC1098CN8#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 data acquisition systems where low quiescent power and direct sensor interfacing are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1098CN8#PBF datasheet, LTC1098CN8#PBF pinout, LTC1098CN8#PBF application, or LTC1098CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-pin DIP package, 3-wire serial interface compatibility with microcontrollers, shutdown current of 1nA, 2.65V–6V supply range, and differential MUX capability enabling flexible channel selection without external switching.
Technical Context
The LTC1098CN8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold, supporting both single-ended and differential input configurations via its CH0/CH1 multiplexer. Its serial interface uses synchronous half-duplex timing with CS/SHDN control, requiring precise wake-up timing (10μs) before first CLK edge after chip select assertion.
It features high-impedance analog inputs (±1.0μA leakage), operates ratiometrically or with external reference, and maintains ±0.5LSB linearity error over full temperature range when powered from 5V. The device's 16μs conversion time and 8-clock-cycle internal timing are fixed by internal logic, independent of external clock duty cycle.
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 Current (Active) | 88μA typical at 500kHz clock - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in intermittent-sampling applications. |
| Supply Current (Shutdown) | 1nA typical - reduces system standby power to negligible levels during idle periods. |
| Sampling Rate | 33kHz maximum - supports real-time monitoring of fast transients in battery voltage or temperature signals. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±0.5LSB over temperature - ensures <10mV absolute accuracy for 5V full-scale range without calibration. |
| Conversion Time | 16μs - deterministic latency allows tight synchronization with external event triggers or PWM cycles. |
| Analog Input Range | –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V - permits direct connection to sensors operating near rail, eliminating level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic DIP (N8), 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range, lead-free finish (PBF).
| 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 1nA - critical for ultra-low-power duty-cycled systems. |
| 2: CH0 | Analog Input Channel 0 | High-impedance (25pF), ±1.0μA leakage input - accepts direct connection to thermistors or battery sense points without buffer amplifiers. |
| 3: CH1 | Analog Input Channel 1 | Identical electrical characteristics to CH0; software-selectable via DIN bitstream - enables dual-sensor monitoring with single ADC. |
| 4: GND | Analog Ground Reference | Must connect directly to analog ground plane; separates noise-sensitive conversion circuitry from digital return paths. |
| 5: DIN | Digital Input (MUX Address) | Serial address bit for channel selection (CH0/CH1); sampled on rising CLK edge - defines which channel is converted in next cycle. |
| 6: DOUT | Digital Output (Data) | MSB-first serial output; data valid 200–450ns after CLK↓ - compatible with standard 8051, PIC, and ARM GPIO bit-banging interfaces. |
| 7: CLK | Serial Shift Clock | Asynchronous master clock; falling edge shifts data out, rising edge latches DIN - supports variable clock rates from 25kHz to 500kHz. |
| 8: VCC (VREF) | Power Supply / Reference Input | Single-pin supply/reference; sets full-scale range (e.g., 5V → 19.6mV/LSB); bypassing to GND essential for <±0.5LSB accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-selectable 2-channel MUX | Enables dynamic channel routing via serial command - eliminates need for external analog switches in multi-sensor nodes. |
| 1nA shutdown current | Reduces average system power by >99% during idle intervals - extends battery life in wireless sensor endpoints beyond 5 years. |
| Direct 3-wire serial interface | Requires only CLK, DIN, DOUT (plus CS) - simplifies PCB routing and firmware implementation versus SPI/I²C peripherals. |
| Sample-and-hold integrated | Eliminates external S/H circuitry and associated layout sensitivity - improves noise immunity in high-impedance sensor applications. |
| Ratiometric operation support | Allows use of same supply as reference - removes need for precision voltage reference IC, reducing BOM count and cost. |
Applications
| Battery Monitoring | Remote Temperature Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous measurement of Li-ion cell voltage during charging/discharging cycles in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADC samples CH0 (cell voltage) and CH1 (pack temperature) alternately every 100ms; CS toggled per sample to minimize average current.

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 | 2.7V–5.25V supply; SPI-compatible 4-wire interface; 1μA shutdown current; no integrated MUX. | Requires external MUX for dual-channel use; higher minimum supply voltage limits 3V-only designs. | Select when SPI-native interface is preferred and external channel selection is acceptable. |
| MAX1110CPA+ | 2.7V–5.25V supply; 3-wire interface; 2.5μA shutdown; single-ended inputs only; no MUX. | Lacks differential or dual-channel capability; higher shutdown current increases long-term energy budget. | Choose for cost-sensitive single-input applications where MUX functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1110CPA+, the LTC1098CN8#PBF uniquely integrates a software-selectable 2-channel MUX and achieves 1nA shutdown - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-limited dual-sensor systems requiring minimal external components and lowest possible standby power.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the LTC1098CN8#PBF?
The LTC1098CN8#PBF supports a maximum clock frequency of 500kHz when operating from a 5V supply. At this rate, it achieves a 33kHz sampling frequency and 88μA typical supply current. Clock frequencies above 500kHz are not guaranteed and may degrade linearity or cause timing violations in the serial interface.
Does the LTC1098CN8#PBF require an external voltage reference?
No - the LTC1098CN8#PBF uses its VCC pin as the reference input (VCC/VREF), enabling ratiometric operation. This eliminates the need for an external precision reference and simplifies design when supply voltage stability meets application accuracy requirements (±0.5LSB TUE is specified with VCC = VREF = 5V).
How does the channel selection work on the LTC1098CN8#PBF?
Channel selection on the LTC1098CN8#PBF is performed via the DIN pin: a logic high on DIN before conversion selects CH1, while a logic low selects CH0. The selected channel is sampled during the subsequent conversion cycle, and the result is shifted out on DOUT in MSB-first format.
What is the wake-up time requirement for the LTC1098CN8#PBF after CS assertion?
The LTC1098CN8#PBF requires a 10μs wake-up time from CS falling edge to the falling edge of the MSB clock pulse. This timing is critical to ensure internal biasing settles before conversion begins; failure to meet it may result in offset or gain errors exceeding ±0.5LSB specification.
Can the LTC1098CN8#PBF operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes - the LTC1098CN8#PBF is rated for 3V to 6V operation. At 3.3V, it supports up to 250kHz clock frequency and maintains ±1.0LSB total unadjusted error over temperature. Its analog input range becomes –0.05V to 3.35V, and output logic levels remain compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers.
