Product details
Overview
LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-speed, 8-bit successive approximation ADC with differential analog inputs, SO-8 package, and 1MHz sampling rate at 5V supply. It features ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error over temperature, 3-wire serial interface, and operates from 2.7V to 6V. Designed for compact data acquisition in disk drives and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF pinout, LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF application, or LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1MHz sampling at 5V, differential input architecture, ±1/2 LSB TUE grade A specification, SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 175°C/W), and auto-shutdown compatibility with system-level power sequencing.
Technical Context
The LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting full-accuracy input bandwidth up to 1MHz. Its differential input stage accepts ±0.05V to VCC+0.05V common-mode range and enables ratiometric operation with external references or direct connection to low-impedance signal sources without gain stages.
It uses a 3-wire serial interface (CS, CLK, DOUT) with MSB-first output format and fixed 8.5-clock conversion cycle. Timing is specified for both 5V (fCLK ≤ 12.0 MHz) and 2.7V (fCLK ≤ 4.0 MHz) operation, with tCONV = 600 ns (5V) / 1.58 μs (2.7V), and supports clock rates down to 10 kHz for low-power applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for control-loop feedback. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 1.00 MHz at VCC = 5V - enables real-time capture of signals up to 500 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1/2 LSB (Grade A) over 0°C to 70°C - eliminates need for system-level calibration in moderate-precision applications. |
| Supply Current | 11 mA at 5V, 1Msps - delivers 90.9 kSPS/mW efficiency, critical for battery-operated systems. |
| Analog Input Type | Differential (IN+, IN–) with 30 pF on-channel capacitance - rejects common-mode noise and supports floating sensor interfaces. |
| Reference Interface | Separate VREF pin (0.05V to VCC+0.05V range) - allows flexible scaling from 1V to 5V full-scale spans without external dividers. |
| Serial Interface | 3-wire (CS, CLK, DOUT), MSB-first, 8.5-cycle conversion - compatible with FPGA GPIO, microcontroller SPI modes, and ASIC shift registers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), 150°C max junction temperature, θJA = 175°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; must be held HIGH between conversions to disable serial interface and reduce leakage. |
| 2 +IN | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input (±1 μA leakage); connects to positive side of differential sensor or signal source. |
| 3 –IN | Differential Analog Input (–) | Matches +IN characteristics; enables true differential measurement rejecting common-mode interference. |
| 4 GND | Analog Ground | Must tie directly to low-noise analog ground plane; separates analog and digital return paths. |
| 5 VREF | External Reference Input | Defines full-scale range; supports 1V–5V spans; bypassing to GND essential for AC accuracy. |
| 6 DOUT | Serial Data Output | CMOS-compatible output; data valid 55 ns after CLK↑ (5V); tri-states when CS HIGH. |
| 7 CLK | Serial Clock Input | Accepts 0.01–12.0 MHz (5V); timing-critical for synchronization with host controller. |
| 8 VCC | Power Supply | 2.7V–6V operation; requires local 1μF ceramic bypass to GND; ripple directly impacts SNR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential input architecture | Enables rejection of EMI and ground bounce in noisy embedded environments without external instrumentation amps. |
| ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error (Grade A) | Guarantees monotonicity and predictable code transitions across 0°C–70°C, reducing firmware compensation overhead. |
| 1V–5V programmable input span via VREF | Eliminates external gain resistors for sensors with sub-1V outputs (e.g., thermocouples, bridge transducers). |
| 600 ns conversion time at 5V | Supports closed-loop control at >1 kHz update rates with minimal latency in motor drive or power supply feedback. |
| 3-wire serial interface with no DIN requirement | Reduces host GPIO count vs. parallel or 4-wire SPI; simplifies PCB routing in space-constrained SO-8 layouts. |
Applications
| Disk Drive Read Channel | Portable Oscilloscope Front-End |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision front-end ADC accepting ratiometric reference from isolated DC-DC converter. Use Value: Separate VREF pin enables direct connection to isolated reference, eliminating error from VCC ripple; 30 pF input capacitance minimizes filter complexity. |
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 | 8-bit, 250 kSPS, single-ended input, SPI interface, 3.3V only | Limited to lower sampling rates and lacks differential input; requires level-shifting for 5V systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/differential needs and 3.3V-only operation is acceptable |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 8-bit, 3 Msps, differential input, 1.8–3.6V supply, internal reference | Higher speed but narrower voltage range; internal reference reduces flexibility vs. external VREF | Select for ultra-low-voltage battery systems needing >1 Msps where external reference isn't required |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11100ETE+, the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF uniquely balances 1 Msps sampling, differential input, wide 2.7–6V supply range, and external VREF flexibility-making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial and portable designs requiring precision without calibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF at 5V supply?
The LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 1.00 MHz at VCC = 5V, as confirmed in the AC Characteristics table under fSMPL(MAX) for LTC1196-2 variants. This is enabled by a 12.0 MHz maximum clock frequency and 600 ns conversion time, supporting real-time capture of signals up to 500 kHz.
Does the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF support differential input operation?
Yes, the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF features true differential analog inputs (+IN and –IN pins) as explicitly defined in the Pin Functions section and Block Diagram. This architecture provides common-mode noise rejection and enables measurement of floating signals without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the total unadjusted error specification for the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF over temperature?
The LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF is a Grade A device with total unadjusted error (TUE) of ±1/2 LSB over the full operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. This value includes offset, full-scale, linearity, and multiplexer errors, and is guaranteed-not typical-per the CONVERTER AND MULTIPLEXER CHARACTERISTICS table.
Can the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF operate from a 3V supply?
Yes, the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF operates from 2.7V to 6V. At 2.7V, it delivers up to 333 kHz maximum sampling rate with 1.58 μs conversion time and 2.0 mA supply current, maintaining ±1/2 LSB TUE. The RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS table confirms 2.7V min for all variants including LTC1196-2.
Is an external reference required for the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF?
Yes, the LTC1196-2ACS8#PBF requires an external reference applied to the VREF pin. Unlike some ADCs with internal references, this device uses VREF to define its full-scale input span (1V to 5V), enabling precise ratiometric measurements and flexibility across varying sensor output ranges.
