Product details
Overview
LTC1197CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 10-bit, 250ksps successive approximation ADC with differential analog input, external reference support, and auto shutdown in an 8-pin MSOP package. It operates from a single 2.7V supply, draws only 0.8mA at full speed, and features SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial I/O. It is used in portable instrumentation for high-resolution sampling of low-voltage sensor signals.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1197CMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1197CMS8#PBF pinout, LTC1197CMS8#PBF application, or LTC1197CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V operation, 10-bit no-missing-codes resolution, differential input architecture, 250ksps maximum sampling rate, and MSOP-8 thermal performance (θJA = 210°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1197CMS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and programmable auto shutdown. Its differential input accepts 0V to VCC common-mode range with adjustable reference via VREF pin, enabling ratiometric or external-reference configurations.
It uses a 3-wire synchronous serial interface (CS, CLK, DOUT) compatible with SPI and MICROWIRE protocols. Conversion timing is clock-driven: tCONV = 2.9µs, with 14-clock cycle time and 1.5-clock sampling window, supporting deterministic data capture in resource-constrained embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision measurement applications. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps at VCC = 2.7V - supports real-time acquisition of audio-band and sensor signals without aliasing. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 4V - enables direct integration into 3V battery-powered systems without LDO overhead. |
| Supply Current | 0.8mA typical at 250ksps - reduces system power budget and extends battery life in portable instruments. |
| INL / DNL | ±1LSB / ±1LSB - ensures <1 LSB linearity error across full temperature range for calibrated sensor interfaces. |
| Reference Input | VREF pin supports 0.2V to VCC+0.05V - allows flexible scaling down to 200mV full-scale for microvolt-level resolution. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial and test equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8), 3mm × 3mm body, 0.65mm pitch, θJA = 210°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; initiates conversion and serial transfer; high state triggers auto shutdown. |
| 2 +IN | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input (20pF) accepting 0V to VCC range; requires low-noise source coupling. |
| 3 –IN | Differential Analog Input (–) | Matches +IN; enables true differential measurement or single-ended with GND reference. |
| 4 GND | Analog Ground | Must connect directly to analog ground plane; separates noise-sensitive analog and digital return paths. |

| 6 DOUT | Serial Data Output | 3-wire MSB-first output; tri-state when CS high; compatible with 3.3V/2.7V logic interfaces. |
| 7 CLK | Serial Clock Input | Accepts up to 3.5MHz clock at 2.7V; rising edge synchronizes data capture and output timing. |
| 8 VCC | Positive Supply | 2.7V to 4V single supply; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stable conversion performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential analog input | Enables rejection of common-mode noise in sensor front-ends and eliminates need for external instrumentation amplifiers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, 200ksps, 2.7V–5.25V supply, SPI interface, no differential input | Limited to lower-accuracy industrial control feedback loops where 8-bit resolution suffices | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs resolution requirements and differential input is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the LTC1197CMS8#PBF?
The LTC1197CMS8#PBF supports a maximum clock frequency of 3.5MHz when operating from a 2.7V supply. This clock rate enables its full 250ksps sampling capability and is specified over the entire 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. Exceeding this frequency may cause conversion errors or timing violations in the serial interface.
Does the LTC1197CMS8#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1197CMS8#PBF does not require an external reference - it accepts an externally applied reference via the VREF pin but can also operate ratiometrically using the same supply that powers sensors. The VREF pin supports input ranges from 0.2V to VCC+0.05V, allowing flexible configuration for both precision and cost-sensitive applications.
Can the LTC1197CMS8#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC1197CMS8#PBF is fully compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers. Its digital I/O thresholds are specified for VCC = 2.7V to 4V, with VIH = 1.9V and VIL = 0.45V at VCC = 2.7V - ensuring robust logic-level compatibility. The DOUT pin drives to 2.3V minimum under 360µA load, meeting standard 3.3V CMOS input requirements.
What is the analog input leakage current specification for the LTC1197CMS8#PBF?
The LTC1197CMS8#PBF specifies analog input leakage current as ±1µA over the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C). This low leakage enables direct connection to high-impedance sources such as thermistors, RTDs, and piezoelectric sensors without significant measurement error due to loading effects.
How does auto shutdown reduce power consumption in the LTC1197CMS8#PBF?
The LTC1197CMS8#PBF reduces supply current linearly as sampling frequency decreases - drawing 0.8mA at 250ksps but dropping to sub-µA levels at very low rates. When CS is held high between conversions, the device enters full shutdown, drawing only leakage current (~3µA max), making it ideal for duty-cycled sensor readouts in battery-powered systems.
