Product details
Overview
LTC1197CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 10-bit, 250ksps successive approximation ADC with differential analog input, internal sample-and-hold, and 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 2.7V supply, draws only 0.8mA at full speed, and features auto shutdown that scales supply current linearly with sampling rate - enabling micropower operation in battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1197CS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1197CS8#PBF pinout, LTC1197CS8#PBF application, or LTC1197CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.7V operation, ±2 LSB offset error, 58dB SNR at 50kHz input, 8-pin SO package, and differential input architecture supporting ratiometric or external reference configurations.
Technical Context
The LTC1197CS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and programmable reference input (VREF). Its differential input stage accepts signals from 0V to VCC with high-impedance inputs (±1µA leakage), enabling direct connection to low-output-impedance sensors without gain stages.
It uses a synchronous 3-wire serial interface (CS, CLK, DOUT) with MSB-first output, 14-clock cycle timing (tCYC = 14 CLKs), and automatic power-down between conversions. Conversion time is fixed at 2.9µs (G), and it supports unipolar transfer only with no software-configurable MUX - distinguishing it from the LTC1199 family.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit, no missing codes guaranteed over full temperature range |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps at VCC = 2.7V - enables real-time monitoring of sub-250kHz signals |
| Supply Current | 0.8mA typical at 250ksps; drops linearly with reduced sample rate for adaptive power control |
| Offset Error | ±2 LSB over full temperature range - ensures consistent zero-input accuracy across environments |
| Signal-to-Noise + Distortion | 58dB at 50kHz input - supports ~9.3 ENOB for precision sensor digitization |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to VCC (2.7V), differential - allows measurement of floating signals with common-mode rejection |
| Reference Input | VREF pin accepts 0.2V to VCC + 0.05V - enables flexible scaling from 200mV spans up to full supply |
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; initiates conversion and serial transfer; high = auto shutdown mode |
| 2 +IN | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input (20pF); accepts signal referenced to –IN or GND in pseudo-differential mode |
| 3 –IN | Differential Analog Input (–) | High-impedance input (20pF); defines common-mode level; must remain stable during sampling |
| 4 GND | Analog Ground | Primary return path for analog circuitry; requires dedicated low-impedance connection to analog ground plane |
| 5 VREF | External Reference Input | Defines full-scale range; supports 0.2V–2.75V span; bypassing critical for noise-sensitive applications |
| 6 DOUT | Serial Data Output | MSB-first, 10-bit result; tri-state when CS high; 3-wire interface compatible with SPI/MICROWIRE |
| 7 CLK | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer on rising edge; max 3.5MHz at 2.7V; duty cycle ≥40% |
| 8 VCC | Positive Supply | Single 2.7V to 4V supply; requires local 1µF ceramic + 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential analog input | Enables rejection of common-mode noise and direct interfacing with bridge sensors or instrumentation amplifiers |
| Auto shutdown with linear power scaling | Reduces supply current proportionally as sampling frequency decreases - eliminates need for external power gating logic |
| 2.7V single-supply operation | Supports direct integration into Li-ion or coin-cell powered systems without voltage translation or regulation overhead |
| External reference flexibility | VREF pin accepts precision references down to 200mV, enabling sub-millivolt resolution (e.g., 200µV/LSB at 0.2V span) |
| 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE interface | Minimizes MCU GPIO usage and PCB routing complexity while maintaining compatibility with standard serial peripherals |

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, 2.7–5.25V supply, SPI interface, no differential input | Lacks differential input and 10-bit resolution; suitable only for lower-accuracy voltage monitoring | Select only if 8-bit resolution suffices and board layout cannot accommodate differential routing |
| MAX11100ASA+ | 10-bit, 500ksps, 2.7–3.6V supply, internal reference, pseudo-differential input (single-ended with common-mode sense) | Higher speed but no true differential input; internal 2.048V reference limits span flexibility vs external VREF | Prefer when higher throughput is needed and external reference is not required |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11100ASA+, the LTC1197CS8#PBF uniquely delivers true differential input, externally adjustable reference, and guaranteed 10-bit no-missing-codes performance at 250ksps - making it optimal for precision sensor interfaces where common-mode rejection and reference flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the LTC1197CS8#PBF?
The LTC1197CS8#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 operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C for the 'C' grade). Exceeding this frequency may cause timing violations or conversion errors, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
Does the LTC1197CS8#PBF support true differential input mode?
Yes, the LTC1197CS8#PBF supports true differential input operation using the +IN (Pin 2) and –IN (Pin 3) terminals. The device measures the voltage difference between these two pins, providing inherent common-mode noise rejection. Unlike pseudo-differential or single-ended variants, it does not require internal switching or configuration bits to activate this mode - it is the default and only analog input architecture for the LTC1197/LTC1197L family.
Can the LTC1197CS8#PBF operate with a 2.5V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1197CS8#PBF can operate with a 2.5V reference applied to the VREF pin. Its reference input range is specified from 0.2V to VCC + 0.05V (i.e., up to 2.75V at 2.7V supply), and typical performance data (SNR, THD) in the datasheet is explicitly characterized at VREF = 2.5V with VCC = 2.7V. A stable, low-noise 2.5V reference is recommended for optimal 58dB SNR performance.
What is the shutdown current of the LTC1197CS8#PBF?
The LTC1197CS8#PBF draws only leakage current in shutdown mode - specified as 0.001µA to 3µA (typical 0.001µA) when CS is high and fSMPL = 0. This ultra-low shutdown current enables multi-year battery life in intermittent-sampling applications such as environmental sensor loggers. The device automatically enters this state whenever CS is deasserted, requiring no additional control signals.
Is the LTC1197CS8#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC1199CS8#PBF?
No, the LTC1197CS8#PBF is not pin-compatible with the LTC1199CS8#PBF. While both use 8-pin SO packages, Pin 5 is VREF on the LTC1197CS8#PBF but DIN (digital input) on the LTC1199CS8#PBF, and Pin 3 is –IN on the LTC1197CS8#PBF but CH1 on the LTC1199CS8#PBF. Their functional architectures differ fundamentally: LTC1197 is differential-input-only, while LTC1199 integrates a 2-channel MUX and requires configuration data via DIN.
