Product details
Overview
LTC1197IMS8#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 LTC1197IMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1197IMS8#PBF pinout, LTC1197IMS8#PBF application, or LTC1197IMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V operation, 10-bit no-missing-codes resolution, differential input range (0V to VCC), 250ksps max sampling rate, and MSOP-8 thermal performance (θJA = 210°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1197IMS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and rail-to-rail analog input capability. Its differential input accepts common-mode voltages up to VCC and supports reduced spans down to 200mV full-scale for 200µV resolution.
It uses a 3-wire serial interface (CS, CLK, DOUT) with MSB-first output, compatible with SPI and MICROWIRE protocols without glue logic. Conversion is initiated by CS falling edge; data is valid after fixed tCONV = 2.9µs (at 2.7V), and automatic power-down reduces supply current linearly with sampling frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision measurement systems. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps at VCC = 2.7V - enables real-time capture of audio-band and industrial sensor signals. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 4V - optimized for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current | 0.8mA typ at 250ksps - supports battery life extension in portable instrumentation. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB / ±1 LSB - ensures accurate linearity for calibration-critical applications like medical sensors. |
| Reference Input | 0.2V to VCC + 0.05V - allows flexible ratiometric or external reference configurations (e.g., 2.5V REF). |
| Dynamic Performance | S/(N+D) = 58dB at 50kHz - suitable for medium-fidelity signal acquisition where SNR > 57dB is required. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8), 3mm × 3mm, 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); accepts 0V to VCC range; requires low-noise source coupling. |
| 3 - –IN | Differential Analog Input (–) | High-impedance input (20pF); defines common-mode reference; must remain stable during sampling. |
| 4 - GND | Analog Ground | Must connect directly to clean analog ground plane; separates analog/digital return paths. |
| 5 - VREF | External Reference Input | Defines full-scale range; supports 0.2V–VCC+0.05V; bypass with 1µF capacitor recommended. |
| 6 - DOUT | Serial Data Output | 3-wire SPI-compatible output; MSB-first; Hi-Z when CS high; timing referenced to CLK↑. |
| 7 - CLK | Serial Clock Input | Accepts 0.01–3.5MHz clock; rising edge synchronizes data sampling and output timing. |
| 8 - VCC | Positive Supply | 2.7V–4V single supply; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential analog input | Enables rejection of common-mode noise in sensor front-ends (e.g., bridge transducers) without external instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Auto shutdown | Reduces supply current linearly with sampling frequency - e.g., ~0.1mA at 25ksps - enabling adaptive power management. |
| 2.7V operation | Eliminates need for voltage regulators in 3.3V or single-cell battery systems, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| 10-bit no-missing-codes | Guarantees monotonicity across full temperature range (–45°C to 85°C), critical for closed-loop control feedback paths. |
| SPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Direct interface to microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+, MSP430) without protocol translation or additional logic. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822IDR | 2.7V–5.25V supply; 200ksps; internal reference; SO-8 package; higher ICC (1.2mA @ 200ksps) | Requires no external reference but lacks differential input - needs external op-amp for bridge sensing. | Choose when reference integration and SO-8 availability outweigh need for differential input and lowest power. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 2.7V–3.6V supply; 500ksps; internal reference; 12-bit resolution; 16-pin TQFN; higher ICC (2.5mA @ 500ksps) | Higher resolution and speed, but larger package and 3× higher power - unsuitable for coin-cell use. | Choose when 12-bit resolution and 500ksps are mandatory, and board space/power budget permit. |
Compared with ADS7822IDR and MAX11100ETE+, the LTC1197IMS8#PBF delivers superior power efficiency (0.8mA vs ≥1.2mA) and native differential input capability in a smaller MSOP-8 package, making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive measurement systems requiring true 10-bit linearity.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1197IMS8#PBF?
The LTC1197IMS8#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 250ksps when operated at VCC = 2.7V with fCLK = 3.5MHz. This is specified over the full industrial temperature range (–45°C to 85°C). At higher supply voltages (e.g., 5V), the LTC1197 variant supports up to 500ksps, but the LTC1197IMS8#PBF is the 2.7V-rated version and is not characterized for operation above 250ksps.
Does the LTC1197IMS8#PBF support differential input operation?
Yes, the LTC1197IMS8#PBF supports true differential input operation via pins 2 (+IN) and 3 (–IN). It accepts analog inputs from 0V to VCC on both terminals, enabling common-mode rejection and direct connection to bridge sensors or isolated signal sources without external amplification. The device does not support pseudo-differential or single-ended-only modes - differential input is its native configuration.
What reference voltage options are supported by the LTC1197IMS8#PBF?
The LTC1197IMS8#PBF accepts an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin (pin 5), supporting ranges from 0.2V to VCC + 0.05V. Common configurations include 2.5V (e.g., REF02), ratiometric use with a precision resistor divider from VCC, or low-drift bandgap references. The device draws only 0.001–3µA reference current, minimizing loading error on high-impedance sources.
Is the LTC1197IMS8#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1197 family?
Yes, the LTC1197IMS8#PBF is pin-compatible with all 8-pin MSOP variants in the LTC1197/LTC1197L family, including LTC1197CMS8, LTC1197LCMS8, and LTC1197LIMS8. All share identical pinout, package dimensions, and footprint. However, electrical specifications differ: the "I" grade (–45°C to 85°C) and "L" suffix (2.7V–4V operation) define the LTC1197IMS8#PBF's rated performance envelope.
How does the auto shutdown feature reduce power consumption in the LTC1197IMS8#PBF?
The LTC1197IMS8#PBF automatically enters low-power shutdown when CS is high, drawing only leakage current (~3µA). During active sampling, supply current scales linearly with sampling frequency - e.g., 0.8mA at 250ksps drops to ~0.08mA at 25ksps. This enables dynamic power scaling in burst-mode systems, extending battery life without firmware intervention or external control logic.
