Product details
Overview
LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 3µs successive approximation ADC with on-chip sample-and-hold, single 5V supply operation, and AD7572-pin-compatible 24-pin SO wide package. It delivers up to 250kHz sampling rate, 72dB S/(N+D), and 2.42V internal reference - used in high-speed data acquisition systems requiring precise unipolar 0V–5V analog input conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF datasheet, LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF pinout, LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF application, or LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing constraints (e.g., 1µs minimum inter-conversion delay), true 12-bit dynamic performance (ENOB ≥11.5 at 20kHz), and validated drop-in replacement guidance versus AD7572.
Technical Context
The LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated 2.42V ±1% bandgap reference and internal sample-and-hold. Its 12-bit DAC uses binary-weighted capacitors, and conversion timing is synchronized to CLK IN edges with strict 40ns setup/hold margins relative to CS/RD for minimal clock feedthrough.
It supports two digital interface modes: Slow Memory Mode (conversion starts on RD↓, data valid after BUSY↑) and ROM Mode (RD↓ reads prior result while starting new conversion). HBEN enables byte-multiplexed 8-bit bus access by routing MSBs to D11–D8 and LSBs to D7–D0/8.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision control loops. |
| Conversion Time | 3µs typical - enables 250kHz sustained sampling, critical for real-time FFT-based signal analysis. |
| Reference Output | 2.42V ±1% with 25ppm/°C tempco - eliminates external reference need and simplifies layout in single-supply systems. |
| S/(N+D) Ratio | 72dB at 10kHz input - defines usable dynamic range for 11.5 effective bits up to 20kHz. |
| Supply Voltage | Single 5V (4.75V–5.25V) - removes negative rail requirement, reducing BOM count vs AD7572. |
| Sample-and-Hold Acquisition | 0.45µs to 1µs - sets minimum inter-conversion delay at 1µs for full accuracy. |
| Power Dissipation | 75mW typical - enables dense placement in thermally constrained embedded DAQ modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SO wide (SW), 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range, θJA = 130°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (1) | Analog Input | 0V–5V unipolar input node; accepts up to 3.5mA DC current and 50pF capacitance. |
| VREF (2) | Reference Output | 2.42V output sourcing up to 1mA; requires 10µF + 0.1µF decoupling for low-noise DAC operation. |
| AGND (3) | Analog Ground | Single-point analog return; must be isolated from DGND except at star ground near pin 3. |
| D11–D4 (4–11) | Data Outputs (MSB–D4) | Three-state outputs; active when CS=RD=LOW; D11 is MSB in parallel read mode. |
| DGND (12) | Digital Ground | Digital return path; kept separate from AGND except at system-level star point. |
| D3/11–D0/8 (13–16) | Data Outputs (D3–D0 or MSB) | HBEN-controlled multiplexed outputs: HIGH → D11–D8 only; LOW → full 12-bit word. |
| CLK IN (17) | Timing Input | Accepts 4MHz TTL/CMOS clock or crystal; falling edge triggers bit decisions during conversion. |
| CLK OUT (18) | Timing Output | Inverted CLK IN signal; must minimize capacitance to avoid analog coupling into AIN path. |
| HBEN (19) | High-Byte Enable | Controls data bus multiplexing; HIGH disables conversion start and forces D7–D4 = LOW. |
| RD (20) | Read Control | Active-low; initiates conversion when CS and HBEN are low; enables output drivers. |
| CS (21) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for RD/HBEN recognition; must be stable before RD edge. |
| BUSY (22) | Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; used for polling or interrupt. |
| NC (23) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; accommodates AD7572's –15V pin without modification. |
| VDD (24) | Positive Supply | 5V supply input; draws 15–30mA depending on activity; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AD7572 pin compatibility | Direct socket replacement with reversed VREF capacitor polarity and 1µs inter-conversion delay. |
| On-chip sample-and-hold | Eliminates external S/H IC and associated layout complexity; acquisition time ≤1µs. |
| Single 5V supply operation | Removes –15V rail requirement, reducing power supply design effort and cost. |
| Internal 2.42V reference | Factory-trimmed ±1%, 25ppm/°C drift - meets 12-bit accuracy without calibration. |
| ESD protection on all pins | Withstands >2kV HBM - improves robustness during board assembly and field handling. |
| Flexible data interface | Supports both 12-bit parallel (D11–D0/8) and 8-bit byte-multiplexed (HBEN-controlled) microprocessor buses. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7572KNZ | Requires ±15V supplies; –5.25V reference; slower 10µs conversion; no on-chip S/H. | Legacy designs with existing dual-rail supplies and socket footprint; lower speed tolerance. | Select only if maintaining legacy AD7572 hardware; LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF offers superior speed, integration, and supply simplicity. |
| MAX11200EEE+ | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC; 10SPS–1kSPS; differential inputs; internal PGA; SPI interface. | Ultra-high-resolution, low-speed sensor measurement (e.g., strain gauges); not suitable for 250kHz sampling. | Choose for precision DC/low-frequency measurements; LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF remains optimal for bandwidth-critical applications. |
Compared with AD7572KNZ, LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF reduces supply count, cuts conversion time by >70%, and integrates S/H and reference - enabling smaller PCB area and faster loop response. Versus MAX11200EEE+, it trades resolution for 250× higher throughput, making it suitable for real-time waveform capture rather than static sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF?
The LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF achieves up to 250kHz sampling rate, enabled by its 3µs conversion time and 1µs minimum inter-conversion delay. This rate is confirmed under fCLK = 4MHz, VDD = 5V, and TA = 25°C conditions. At full temperature range (0°C to 70°C), sustained 250kHz operation requires careful thermal management due to θJA = 130°C/W in the SO wide package.
Can the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF replace the AD7572 without PCB changes?
Yes - the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF is a direct pin-compatible replacement for the AD7572 in 24-pin SO wide sockets, but requires reversing the polarity of the VREF bypass capacitor (10µF tantalum) and allowing ≥1µs between conversions. Pin 23 (NC on LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF) remains unconnected, eliminating the AD7572's –15V supply requirement.
What is the purpose of the HBEN pin on the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF?
The HBEN (High Byte Enable) pin on the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF controls data bus multiplexing: when LOW, all 12 bits (DB11–DB0) appear on D11–D0/8; when HIGH, only DB11–DB8 appear on D11–D8 and D7–D4 are forced LOW. This enables efficient interfacing with 8-bit microprocessors using two sequential reads, without external latches or logic.
Does the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF require an external clock source?
No - the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF supports both external clock input (TTL/CMOS compatible, 4MHz typical) and internal crystal oscillator configuration. A 4MHz crystal or ceramic resonator can be connected between CLK IN (pin 17) and CLK OUT (pin 18); omitting the crystal allows use of an external clock, with CLK OUT providing an inverted copy for synchronization.
How does the internal reference of the LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF differ from the AD7572's reference?
The LTC1272-5ACSW#PBF provides a +2.42V internal reference (±1% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C tempco), whereas the AD7572 uses a –5.25V reference. This positive reference enables true single-supply operation and requires reversal of the VREF bypass capacitor polarity when retrofitting into AD7572 sockets - a key hardware change for drop-in compatibility.
