Product details
Overview
LTC1098IN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-bit micropower successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold and a software-selectable 2-channel analog multiplexer. It operates from 3V to 6V, draws only 88–230μA during conversion at 500kHz clock, and auto-shuts down to 1nA typical supply current when idle. It interfaces via a 4-wire synchronous serial port (CS/SHDN, CLK, DIN, DOUT) and targets battery-powered remote sensing systems requiring low quiescent power and direct sensor interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1098IN8#PBF datasheet, LTC1098IN8#PBF pinout, LTC1098IN8#PBF application, or LTC1098IN8#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated DIP-8 pin functions, real-world use cases in isolated data acquisition and battery monitoring, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The LTC1098IN8#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 2-channel MUX allows dynamic selection between CH0 and CH1 inputs under software control via DIN-shifted address bits, supporting differential or single-ended measurements relative to GND.
It uses a synchronous half-duplex 4-wire serial interface: CS/SHDN enables conversion and powers the core, CLK synchronizes bit transfers, DIN accepts channel select commands before conversion, and DOUT outputs the 8-bit result MSB-first on CLK falling edges. Wake-up time is fixed at 10μs after CS↓ for correct first-bit timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for reliable threshold detection. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 88–230μA at fCLK = 500kHz - enables >1-year operation on a single AA cell in 10Hz-sampled systems. |
| Supply Current (Shutdown) | 1nA typical - eliminates battery drain during extended sleep intervals in IoT endpoints. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 33kHz - supports anti-aliasing filtering up to ~15kHz for audio-grade sensor signals. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1.0 LSB over –40°C to +85°C - ensures <0.4% full-scale accuracy without calibration in industrial environments. |
| Conversion Time | 16μs (8 CLK cycles at 500kHz) - defines minimum inter-sample interval for high-speed burst capture. |
| Analog Input Range | –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V - allows direct connection to ±10mV thermocouples or 0–5V transducers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic DIP (N8), through-hole, 0.3-inch width, –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
| 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 duty-cycled sensor nodes. |
| 2: CH0 | Analog Input Channel 0 | High-impedance input (25pF); accepts 0–VCC signals directly from resistive sensors or voltage dividers. |
| 3: CH1 | Analog Input Channel 1 | Independent high-Z input; software-selected via DIN to measure second sensor without external MUX hardware. |
| 4: GND | Analog Ground Reference | Must connect to clean analog ground plane - separates noise-sensitive sampling circuitry from digital return paths. |
| 5: DIN | Digital Input (MUX Address) | Shifts in 1-bit channel select command prior to conversion; enables dual-input flexibility with minimal GPIO usage. |
| 6: DOUT | Digital Output (8-bit Result) | MSB-first serial output; data valid 200–450ns after CLK↓ - compatible with 8051, PIC, and ARM Cortex-M SPI peripherals. |
| 7: CLK | Serial Shift Clock | Accepts 25–500kHz square wave; timing margins defined for setup/hold/wake-up ensure robust bit capture. |
| 8: VCC (VREF) | Power Supply / Reference Input | Single-pin supply-and-reference; sets full-scale range (e.g., 5V → 0–5V span); bypassing to GND essential for <±0.5LSB noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-Selectable 2-Channel MUX | Eliminates need for external analog switches in dual-sensor systems - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥3 components. |
| 16μs Conversion Time | Enables 62.5kSPS effective throughput when interleaving channels - suitable for closed-loop control feedback sampling. |
| Direct 4-Wire Serial Interface | Requires only 4 MCU pins (CS, CLK, DIN, DOUT); no parallel bus or external framing logic needed - simplifies firmware and layout. |
| ±0.5 LSB Total Unadjusted Error | Meets Class B accuracy requirements per IEC 61000-4-30 for power quality monitoring without post-conversion calibration. |
| 1nA Shutdown Current | Extends shelf life of sealed battery packs (e.g., lithium thionyl chloride) beyond 10 years - critical for infrastructure telemetry. |
Applications
| Battery Monitoring | Isolated Data Acquisition |

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 | 8-bit SAR ADC with SPI interface; requires external reference; 1.25μs conversion time; 1.2mA active current. | Higher speed but 15× higher supply current - unsuitable for multi-year battery life; better for USB-powered handheld testers. | Select ADS7822U only when >100kSPS throughput is required and energy budget permits 1.2mA continuous draw. |
| MAX11100EUA+ | 8-bit SAR ADC with internal reference; 2.5μs conversion; 1.5μA shutdown; uses 3-wire SPI (no DIN pin). | No MUX functionality; single-ended input only; lower shutdown current but lacks LTC1098IN8#PBF's dual-channel flexibility. | Choose MAX11100EUA+ for space-constrained single-sensor designs where MUX is unnecessary and 1.5μA shutdown is critical. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11100EUA+, the LTC1098IN8#PBF uniquely balances ultra-low 1nA shutdown, integrated 2-channel MUX, and DIP-8 through-hole package - making it optimal for legacy industrial upgrades and long-life remote nodes where pin count, power, and design simplicity are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the LTC1098IN8#PBF?
The LTC1098IN8#PBF supports a maximum clock frequency of 500kHz at VCC = 5V. At this rate, it achieves a 33kHz sampling rate with 16μs conversion time. Operation above 500kHz is not guaranteed and may increase total unadjusted error beyond ±1.0 LSB. For 3V operation, the max clock is reduced to 250kHz per datasheet specifications.
Can the LTC1098IN8#PBF operate with an external reference voltage?
No - the LTC1098IN8#PBF does not have a dedicated VREF pin. It uses the VCC pin as both power supply and reference input (labeled VCC/VREF in the datasheet). Full-scale range equals VCC, so accuracy depends directly on supply rail stability. For ratiometric measurements, this architecture cancels supply drift when sensing resistive bridges.
How does the 2-channel MUX in the LTC1098IN8#PBF function during conversion?
The LTC1098IN8#PBF selects between CH0 and CH1 via a 1-bit command shifted into the DIN pin before CS goes low. The selected channel is sampled during the next conversion cycle. No automatic sequencing occurs - each conversion requires explicit channel selection, enabling deterministic, software-controlled dual-input sampling.
What is the wake-up time requirement for the LTC1098IN8#PBF after CS activation?
The LTC1098IN8#PBF requires a 10μs wake-up delay between the falling edge of CS and the first falling edge of CLK that clocks out the MSB. This timing is fixed and independent of clock frequency. If CLK ≤ 100kHz, the natural clock period inherently satisfies this requirement; for faster clocks, explicit delay insertion in firmware is necessary.
Is the LTC1098IN8#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC1096IN8#PBF?
No - the LTC1098IN8#PBF and LTC1096IN8#PBF have different pinouts. LTC1096 uses IN+/IN– for differential input and has a dedicated VREF pin (Pin 5), while LTC1098 uses CH0/CH1 and repurposes Pin 5 as DIN. Swapping them requires PCB redesign. Their shared DIP-8 package does not imply pin compatibility.
