Product details
Overview
LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-bit, 750kHz sampling successive approximation ADC with integrated sample-and-hold and software-selectable 2-channel analog multiplexer. It operates from a single 2.7V–6V supply, consumes only 50mW at 5V, and auto-shuts down to 1nA quiescent current when idle. Its SO-8 package, 3-wire serial interface, and ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error over temperature make it suitable for compact, battery-operated data acquisition in disk drives and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF pinout, LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF application, or LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 750kHz max sampling rate at 5V, 2-channel MUX configuration, auto-shutdown capability, SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 175°C/W), and differential vs. single-ended input flexibility per channel selection.
Technical Context
The LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold and a 2-channel analog multiplexer controlled via 4-bit DIN command. Conversion timing is synchronized to an external clock (up to 12MHz at 5V), with fixed 8.5-clock conversion time and 2.5-clock sampling window.
Its digital interface uses CS/SHUTDOWN as both chip select and power control, DIN for MUX address and mode configuration (single-ended/differential, CH0/CH1), and DOUT for MSB-first serial output. The VCC/VREF pin serves dual purpose-supply rail and reference voltage-enabling ratiometric operation without external reference.
Key Specifications

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 Input | LOW enables conversion and digital interface; HIGH forces shutdown and disconnects internal power rails |
| 2: CH0 | Analog Input Channel 0 | Single-ended or differential input terminal; high-impedance (>1GΩ) with ≤30pF capacitance |
| 3: CH1 | Analog Input Channel 1 | Second analog input for MUX selection; leakage <±1μA over temperature |
| 4: GND | Analog Ground Reference | Must connect directly to low-noise analog ground plane; separates analog and digital return paths |

| 6: DOUT | Serial Data Output | MSB-first 8-bit result with 55ns propagation delay (CLK↑ to valid data); Hi-Z when CS HIGH |
| 7: CLK | Serial Interface Clock Input | Accepts 0.01–12MHz (5V) or 0.01–4.6MHz (2.7V); duty cycle ≥40% required |
| 8: VCC/VREF | Power Supply and Reference Input | Supplies core logic and defines full-scale range; bypassing with 1μF ceramic to GND mandatory |
Key Features

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 | 2.7–5.25V supply; 1MSPS; SPI-compatible 3-wire interface; no auto-shutdown; requires external reference | Lacks integrated shutdown and ratiometric operation; needs external REF and decoupling | Preferred when external precision reference is already present and continuous sampling is required |
| MAX1112CPE+ | 2.7–5.25V supply; 100kSPS; 8-pin PDIP/SO; SPI interface; no MUX; ±1 LSB INL | Lower speed, no channel selection, higher INL; simpler interface but less flexible | Selected for cost-sensitive, low-speed applications where dual-channel capability is unnecessary |
Compared with LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF, ADS7822U offers higher sampling rate but requires external reference and lacks auto-shutdown, while MAX1112CPE+ trades speed and MUX flexibility for lower cost and simpler integration in static-sensing roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF at 5V supply?
The LTC1198-2ACS8#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 LTC1198-2 variant. At 2.7V, the maximum drops to 287kHz due to reduced clock frequency limits.
Does the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF does not require an external reference. Its Pin 8 (VCC/VREF) serves as both power supply and reference input, enabling true ratiometric operation. This eliminates external reference components and improves immunity to supply ripple, as confirmed in the Applications Information section and Pin Functions description.
How does the auto-shutdown feature work on the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF?
The LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF enters auto-shutdown when CS/SHUTDOWN (Pin 1) is driven HIGH. In this state, internal power rails are disconnected and supply current drops to 1nA typical. The device remains in shutdown until CS falls again, at which point it powers up and performs a new conversion-no reset sequence or initialization is needed.
Can the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF perform differential measurements between CH0 and CH1?
Yes, the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF supports differential measurement between CH0 and CH1. As documented in the Pin Functions and Applications Information sections, the 4-bit DIN command includes an SGL/DIFF bit that configures the internal MUX to acquire either single-ended (CH0 or CH1) or differential (CH0–CH1 or CH1–CH0) inputs prior to conversion.
What is the total unadjusted error specification for the LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF over temperature?
The LTC1198-2ACS8#PBF has a total unadjusted error of ±1/2 LSB maximum over the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), as explicitly stated in the Converter and Multiplexer Characteristics table. This includes offset, full-scale, linearity, multiplexer, and hold-step errors-verified for both A-grade and B-grade variants.
