Product details
Overview
LTC1198-2BCS8#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 5V supply, consumes 50mW active power and auto-shuts down to 1nA typical quiescent current, and delivers ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error over temperature in SO-8 package - ideal for battery-powered disk drive controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF pinout, LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF application, or LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-channel MUX support, 750kHz max sampling rate at 5V, 1nA shutdown current, 3-wire serial interface timing compatibility with HC logic and ASICs, and guaranteed ±1/2 LSB TUE performance across 0°C to 70°C.
Technical Context
The LTC1198-2BCS8#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. Its conversion sequence requires 16 clock cycles: 1 START bit + 4-bit input word (SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, 2 dummy bits) + 2 null bits + 8-bit MSB-first result.
It uses VCC as both supply and reference (no separate VREF pin), supports differential or single-ended channel selection, and features auto-shutdown triggered by CS HIGH - disabling internal bias and reducing ICC to 1nA typical without external control circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit with no missing codes - ensures monotonic transfer function for closed-loop control feedback. |
| Max Sampling Rate | 750kHz at VCC = 5V - enables real-time acquisition of signals up to ~375kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1/2 LSB over 0°C to 70°C - eliminates need for system-level calibration in moderate-accuracy applications. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 11mA typical at 5V - allows direct integration into 5V microcontroller systems without additional LDO overhead. |
| Shutdown Current | 1nA typical - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling systems like portable data loggers. |
| Input Interface | 3-wire serial (CS, CLK, DOUT) + DIN - supports flexible MUX configuration without dedicated address lines. |
| Full-Power Bandwidth | 8MHz - permits accurate digitization of fast transients without external anti-aliasing filter complexity. |
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 with integrated shutdown enable | Logic LOW enables conversion; logic HIGH powers down core circuitry to 1nA, eliminating need for external power-gating logic. |
| 2: CH0 | Analog input channel 0 | High-impedance input (30pF) compatible with direct sensor connection; supports single-ended or differential mode with CH1. |
| 3: CH1 | Analog input channel 1 | Matches CH0 electrical characteristics; enables ratiometric measurements when used differentially against CH0. |
| 4: GND | Analog ground reference | Must connect directly to low-noise analog ground plane - separates signal return from digital switching noise. |
| 5: DIN | Serial data input for MUX control | Accepts 4-bit command on rising CLK edges to configure SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, and acquisition timing - no parallel address bus required. |
| 6: DOUT | Serial data output | MSB-first 8-bit result shifted out after conversion; enters Hi-Z state within 120ns of CS HIGH for bus sharing. |
| 7: CLK | Serial interface clock input | Accepts up to 12MHz clock (5V); defines tCYC = 16 CLKs per full transaction - compatible with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals. |
| 8: VCC/VREF | Power supply and reference voltage | Serves dual role: powers internal circuitry and sets full-scale range (0V to VCC); bypassing with 1μF capacitor mandatory for AC accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-shutdown mode | Reduces ICC to 1nA typical with CS HIGH - enables microsecond-scale wake-up without external PMIC sequencing. |
| Software-configurable 2-channel MUX | Supports four input modes (CH0-SGL, CH1-SGL, CH0–CH1 DIFF, CH1–CH0 DIFF) via 4-bit DIN command - replaces discrete analog switches and reduces BOM count. |
| Single-supply operation (3V–6V) | Eliminates need for negative rail or precision reference ICs - simplifies power architecture in space-constrained embedded systems. |
| Integrated sample-and-hold | Provides 1MHz full-accuracy input bandwidth - captures fast signals without external SHA, reducing layout sensitivity and component count. |
| Guaranteed monotonicity | No missing codes across full temperature range - ensures predictable behavior in servo control and safety-critical monitoring loops. |
Applications
| Hard Disk Drive Controller Monitoring | Portable Oscilloscope Front-End |

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 | 2.7V–5.25V supply; 1MSPS; no auto-shutdown; separate REF pin; SPI-compatible 3-wire interface | Requires external reference and power management; better SNR (70dB) but higher active current (1.2mA) | Select when higher DC accuracy and external reference flexibility outweigh shutdown current savings. |
| MAX1113EUA+ | 2.7V–3.6V only; 100kSPS; 1nA shutdown; SPI interface; no MUX | Limited to low-voltage systems; lacks channel selection; lower sampling rate restricts dynamic signal capture | Select for ultra-low-power 3.3V sensor nodes where dual-channel capability is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF at 5V operation?
The LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF supports up to 12.0MHz clock frequency when operated at VCC = 5V, enabling its full 750kHz sampling rate. This timing is validated across the 0°C to 70°C temperature range and aligns with HC logic and ASIC interface standards - ensuring reliable synchronization without setup/hold violations in high-speed digital systems using the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF.
Does LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF require an external voltage reference?
No, the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF does not require an external voltage reference. It uses VCC (pin 8) as both power supply and reference input, establishing a 0V to VCC full-scale range. This eliminates external reference components and simplifies layout - confirmed in the datasheet's "PIN FUNCTIONS" and "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS" sections for the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF.
How does the auto-shutdown feature of LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF operate?
The LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF enters auto-shutdown automatically when CS (pin 1) is driven HIGH, reducing supply current to 1nA typical. No additional control signals or configuration registers are needed - the shutdown is hardware-triggered and immediate. This behavior is explicitly specified in the "DIGITAL AND DC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table under ICC for LTC1198 (Shutdown), confirming its use in ultra-low-power duty-cycled applications with the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF.
Can LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF perform differential measurements between CH0 and CH1?
Yes, the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF supports true differential input mode between CH0 and CH1. The 4-bit DIN command includes an SGL/DIFF bit that configures the internal multiplexer to measure either CH0–CH1 or CH1–CH0. This capability is documented in the "APPLICATIONS INFORMATION" section and verified in Figure 2 ("LTC1198 Operating Sequence Example: Differential Inputs") - enabling ratiometric sensing and common-mode noise rejection with the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF.
What is the guaranteed total unadjusted error specification for LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF over temperature?
The LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF guarantees ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error over the full operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. This specification includes offset, full-scale, linearity, multiplexer, and hold-step errors - and is explicitly listed in the "CONVERTER AND MULTIPLEXER CHARACTERISTICS" table for LTC1198-1B/LTC1198-2B grade devices, confirming high DC accuracy without calibration for the LTC1198-2BCS8#PBF.
