Product details
Overview
LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-bit, 750kHz sampling-rate successive approximation ADC with integrated sample-and-hold and software-selectable 2-channel multiplexer. It operates from a single 3V–6V supply, consumes only 50mW at 5V, and features auto-shutdown drawing just 1nA typical quiescent current when idle. Designed for high-speed data acquisition in compact systems, it delivers ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error over temperature and supports ratiometric operation using VCC as reference.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF pinout, LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF application, or LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2-channel MUX architecture, SO-8 package compatibility, 750kHz max sampling rate at 5V, 1nA shutdown current, and 3-wire serial interface with DIN control for channel selection.
Technical Context
The LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold, enabling full-accuracy input bandwidth up to 1MHz. Its 2-channel MUX allows configurable single-ended or differential conversion between CH0 and CH1, controlled via 4-bit DIN word including START, SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, and DUMMY bits.
It uses a 3-wire serial interface (CS, CLK, DOUT) plus DIN for configuration, requiring precise timing: tCYC = 16 CLK cycles per conversion, tSMPL = 2.5 CLK cycles for analog acquisition, and tdDO = 64ns (typ) from CLK↑ to valid DOUT data at 5V. Shutdown is asserted automatically when CS is HIGH, disconnecting internal power paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - provides 256 discrete output codes for medium-precision measurement tasks. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 750kHz at VCC = 5V - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~375kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1/2 LSB (B-grade) - ensures monotonicity and no missing codes across full operating temperature range. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 11mA typical at 5V - supports high-speed operation without excessive thermal load in space-constrained designs. |
| Supply Current (Shutdown) | 1nA typical - eliminates battery drain during idle periods in portable instrumentation. |

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/SHUTDOWN | Chip Select / Power Control | LOW enables conversion; HIGH forces auto-shutdown and disconnects internal power, reducing ICC to 1nA. |
| 2: CH0 | Analog Input Channel 0 | Primary single-ended input; used with CH1 for differential measurements or independently for single-ended acquisition. |
| 3: CH1 | Analog Input Channel 1 | Secondary input; paired with CH0 for differential mode or used alone with SGL/DIFF bit set. |
| 4: GND | Analog Ground Reference | Must connect directly to low-impedance analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling into sample-and-hold. |
| 5: DIN | Digital Input for MUX Control | Accepts 4-bit configuration word (START, SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, DUMMY) on rising CLK edges to select channel and mode. |
| 6: DOUT | Serial Data Output | MSB-first output of 8-bit conversion result; enters Hi-Z state within 120ns after CS↑. |
| 7: CLK | Serial Interface Clock | Synchronizes DIN sampling and DOUT shifting; supports up to 12MHz at 5V for 750kHz sampling. |
| 8: VCC/VREF | Power Supply and Reference | Single-pin dual function: powers internal circuitry and defines full-scale range (0V to VCC), enabling ratiometric accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit, 200kSPS, SPI interface, no auto-shutdown, requires external reference. | Lacks MUX and ultra-low-power shutdown; suited for lower-speed, fixed-input systems. | Select when lower sampling rate is acceptable and external reference is already present. |
| MAX1110ECUA+ | 8-bit, 100kSPS, 3-wire interface, 2.7V–5.25V supply, no MUX, 1μA shutdown. | Slower sampling and no channel selection; simpler control but less flexible for multi-sensor nodes. | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-input applications where 1μA shutdown suffices and speed is secondary. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1110ECUA+, the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF uniquely combines 750kSPS sampling, integrated 2-channel MUX, and 1nA shutdown-enabling higher throughput and longer battery life in compact, multi-sensor embedded systems without external reference or power management ICs.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF at 5V supply?
The LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 750kHz when operated at VCC = 5V and fCLK = 12MHz. This is specified in the AC Characteristics table under "fSMPL(MAX) Maximum Sampling Frequency" for the LTC1198-1B grade. At 2.7V, the maximum drops to 287kHz due to reduced clock frequency limits.
Does the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF require an external voltage reference?
No, the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF does not require an external voltage reference. Pin 8 (VCC/VREF) serves as both power supply and reference input, establishing a 0V to VCC full-scale range. This ratiometric architecture simplifies design and improves system-level accuracy when sensor excitation and ADC reference share the same supply rail.
How does the auto-shutdown feature work on the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF?
The LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF enters auto-shutdown automatically when the CS/SHUTDOWN pin (Pin 1) is driven HIGH. In this state, internal power paths are disconnected, reducing supply current to just 1nA typical. The device remains in shutdown until CS is pulled LOW again, at which point it resumes normal operation after a brief wake-up delay.
What are the analog input configurations supported by the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF?
The LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF supports three analog input configurations via its 2-channel MUX and DIN control word: single-ended CH0-to-GND, single-ended CH1-to-GND, and differential CH1–CH0. Configuration is selected using the SGL/DIFF bit in the 4-bit DIN word, with ODD/SIGN controlling polarity and sign handling for differential mode.
Is the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1196/LTC1198 family?
Yes, the LTC1198-1BCS8#PBF is pin-compatible with all other LTC1198 variants (e.g., LTC1198-1ACS8#PBF, LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF) in the SO-8 package. All share identical pinout, electrical interface, and functional behavior. Differences lie only in grade (A/B), speed bin (1/2), and temperature range-ensuring drop-in replacement within the same variant group.
