Product details
Overview
LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 10-bit, 250ksps successive approximation ADC with differential analog inputs, internal sample-and-hold, and auto shutdown. 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 targets low-power portable instrumentation requiring high resolution and rail-to-rail input capability down to 200mV span.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V operation, 10-bit no-missing-codes resolution, differential input architecture, 250ksps sampling rate, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and programmable reference interface. Its differential input supports ratiometric measurement and direct connection to low-voltage signal sources without gain stages.
It uses a synchronous 3-wire serial interface (CS, CLK, DOUT) compatible with SPI and MICROWIRE protocols. Conversion is initiated by CS falling edge; data is output MSB-first after two null bits, with automatic power-down between conversions to minimize quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision control and measurement loops. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps at VCC = 2.7V - enables real-time acquisition of audio-band and sensor signals in battery-powered devices. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 4V - optimized for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems without LDO overhead. |
| Supply Current | 0.8mA typical at 250ksps - reduces thermal load and extends battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to VCC (differential) - supports direct interfacing with transducers and op-amp outputs referenced to system ground. |
| Reference Input | External VREF pin (0.2V to VCC + 0.05V) - allows flexible scaling from 200mV to 4.05V full-scale for optimized SNR per application. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB / ±1 LSB - ensures accurate linearity for closed-loop feedback and calibration-critical applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin MSOP (3mm × 3mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range.
| 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 signals up to VCC + 0.3V; used with –IN for true differential measurement. |
| 3 - –IN | Differential Analog Input (–) | High-impedance input (20pF); defines common-mode reference; 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 external references from 0.2V to VCC + 0.05V; bypass with 1µF capacitor. |
| 6 - DOUT | Serial Data Output | CMOS-compatible output; MSB-first 10-bit result plus two null bits; tri-stated when CS is high. |
| 7 - CLK | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer on rising edge; max 3.5MHz at 2.7V; duty cycle 40%–60% required. |
| 8 - VCC | Positive Supply | Single 2.7V–4V supply; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + 1µF tantalum bypass to GND for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto Shutdown | Supply current scales linearly with sampling frequency - drops to ~1µA in idle, enabling µA-level average power in burst-mode systems. |
| Differential Input Architecture | Rejects common-mode noise up to 100dB at 50kHz - ideal for noisy industrial environments and isolated sensor front-ends. |
| Low-Voltage Operation | Specified performance down to 2.7V - eliminates need for voltage translation or boost converters in modern low-power designs. |
| Flexible Reference Interface | VREF pin accepts external references as low as 200mV - enables 200µV LSB resolution for microvolt-level sensor measurements. |
| SPI/MICROWIRE Compatibility | No glue logic required - interoperates directly with ARM Cortex-M, MSP430, and PIC microcontrollers using standard peripheral drivers. |

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-pin SOIC only; 12-bit resolution; 200ksps; 2.7V–5.25V supply; no auto shutdown. | Higher resolution but lower speed and fixed package; lacks dynamic power scaling for ultra-low-duty-cycle systems. | Choose ADS7822U when 12-bit accuracy is mandatory and board layout permits SOIC; avoid if micropower burst operation is required. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 10-bit, 500ksps; 2.7V–3.6V; internal reference; 10-pin µMAX; SPI-only interface. | Higher speed but no external VREF flexibility; smaller package increases routing complexity for analog isolation. | Choose MAX11100ETE+ for higher throughput where internal 2.048V reference suffices; avoid when ratiometric or sub-1V full-scale operation is needed. |
Compared with LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF, ADS7822U trades speed and power efficiency for resolution, while MAX11100ETE+ offers faster sampling but sacrifices reference flexibility and MSOP-8 footprint compatibility - making LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF optimal for compact, battery-sensitive designs requiring configurable full-scale range.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF supports a maximum clock frequency of 3.5MHz when operating from a 2.7V supply. This corresponds to a 250ksps sampling rate with 10.5 clock cycles per conversion. Exceeding this frequency may cause timing violations or degraded INL/DNL performance, especially at temperature extremes.
Does the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin. It accepts references from 0.2V to VCC + 0.05V (up to 4.05V at VCC = 4V), enabling flexible full-scale configuration. No internal reference is provided - omitting VREF will result in undefined conversion results.
Can the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF operate with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF is fully specified for operation from 2.7V to 4V, making 3.3V a valid and commonly used supply voltage. At 3.3V, typical supply current is ~0.9mA at 250ksps, and the maximum clock frequency remains 3.5MHz with appropriate timing margins.
What is the analog input impedance of the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF has an analog input capacitance of 20pF on the active channel (+IN or –IN) and 5pF on the inactive channel. Input leakage current is ±1µA over temperature. The effective DC input impedance is very high (>1GΩ), allowing direct connection to high-impedance sensors without buffer amplifiers in many cases.
Is the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LTC1197CMS8#TRPBF?
Yes, the LTC1197LCMS8#TRPBF is pin-compatible with the LTC1197CMS8#TRPBF. Both share identical MSOP-8 pinout and function set. The 'L' suffix denotes the 2.7V–4V supply version, while the non-L version operates from 4V–9V - so PCBs designed for one can accommodate the other with only supply rail adjustment.
