Product details
Overview
LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-speed, 8-bit successive approximation ADC with differential analog inputs, SO-8 package, and 1Msps sampling rate at 5V supply. It features ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error over temperature, 3-wire serial I/O, and operates from 2.7V to 6V. Designed for compact data acquisition in disk drives and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF pinout, LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF application, or LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include differential input support, 1MHz sampling capability at 5V, auto-shutdown current <1μA (not applicable to LTC1196), reference flexibility (external VREF), and SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 175°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling full-accuracy input bandwidth up to 1MHz. Its differential input stage supports ratiometric operation and direct connection to low-impedance signal sources without gain stages.
It uses a 3-wire serial interface (CS, CLK, DOUT) with MSB-first output and null-bit preamble. Conversion timing is synchronized to external clock edges, with tCONV = 600ns (min) and fSMPL(MAX) = 1.00MHz at VCC = 5V, requiring precise setup/hold timing on CS and CLK per AC specifications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete digital codes for analog input quantization |
| Max Sampling Rate | 1.00 MHz at VCC = 5V - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~400 kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1/2 LSB (Grade A) - ensures monotonicity and no missing codes across full temperature range |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6V - supports battery-powered (3V) and industrial (5V) systems without level-shifting |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic SO (SO-8), 175°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, lead-free finish (PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS (Pin 1) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; initiates conversion sequence and serial data transfer when pulled LOW |
| +IN (Pin 2) | Differential Analog Input | Non-inverting input; accepts signals referenced to –IN, supporting common-mode voltage up to VCC |
| –IN (Pin 3) | Differential Analog Input | Inverting input; defines common-mode reference point; must be low-noise and stable |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Primary return path for analog circuitry; requires dedicated low-impedance connection to analog ground plane |
| VREF (Pin 5) | External Reference Input | Sets full-scale input span (e.g., 0V to VREF); decoupling required for noise immunity |
| DOUT (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | MSB-first 8-bit result with two leading null bits; tri-state when CS HIGH |
| CLK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all internal timing; max 14.4 MHz at 5V; defines conversion cycle duration |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Power Supply | Provides core logic and analog bias; requires local 1μF bypass to GND for stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | Single-ended input only; 1.25Msps max; SPI-compatible 3-wire interface; 2.7–5.25V supply | Lacks differential input and external VREF - unsuitable for floating or ratiometric sensor interfaces | Select when single-ended signals dominate and board space permits larger SO-16 package |
| MAX1113ECM+ | Differential input supported; 1.2Msps; SPI interface; 2.7–3.6V supply only; no external VREF pin | Fixed internal reference limits full-scale flexibility; incompatible with 5V systems | Prefer for ultra-low-power 3V-only designs where external reference is not required |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1113ECM+, the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF uniquely combines differential input, external VREF, 5V operation, and guaranteed ±1/2 LSB error - making it optimal for precision ratiometric and floating-signal acquisition where reference independence and common-mode rejection are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF at 5V supply?
The LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 1.00 MHz when operated at VCC = 5V, as specified in the AC Characteristics table under fSMPL(MAX) for LTC1196-1. This requires a 14.4 MHz clock input and meets timing constraints including tCYC = 12 CLK cycles per conversion.
Does the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF support differential input operation?
Yes, the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF features true differential analog inputs (+IN and –IN pins), allowing it to measure the voltage difference between two points while rejecting common-mode noise - a key capability confirmed in the Pin Functions and Applications Information sections of the datasheet.
Can the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF operate from a 3V supply?
Yes, the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF is fully specified for operation from 2.7V to 6V. At VCC = 3V, its maximum sampling rate drops to 450 kHz (LTC1196-1), and power dissipation reduces to 10 mW, making it suitable for battery-powered portable instrumentation.
What is the total unadjusted error specification for the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF?
The LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF (Grade A version) is specified with ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error over the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), encompassing offset, full-scale, linearity, and multiplexer errors - ensuring monotonic behavior and no missing codes without calibration.
Is the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC1198 series?
No, the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF is not pin-compatible with LTC1198 variants: LTC1196 uses VREF (Pin 5) and differential IN+ / IN– (Pins 2/3), whereas LTC1198 substitutes DIN (Pin 5) and single-ended CH0 / CH1 (Pins 2/3). Their pin functions differ fundamentally, requiring PCB layout changes for substitution.
