Product details
Overview
LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 3µs successive approximation ADC with integrated sample-and-hold and on-chip 2.42V reference. It operates from a single 5V supply, delivers up to 250kHz sampling rate, and maintains ±0.5 LSB integral linearity over 0°C to 70°C - enabling high-speed data acquisition in industrial PLCs and DSP front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF application, or LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar 0V–5V input range compatibility, AD7572-pin-compatible layout reuse, 24-pin SO Wide package thermal performance (θJA = 130°C/W), and 75mW typical power consumption at full throughput.
Technical Context
The LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with internal 12-bit capacitive DAC and comparator-based bit decision logic synchronized to external or crystal-derived clocking. Its sample-and-hold acquires input in ≤1µs, and conversion completes in 13 clock cycles (4MHz clock for -3 speed grade).
It features dual digital interface modes: parallel 12-bit read (HBEN low) or two-byte 8-bit bus access (HBEN high), with BUSY-driven status signaling and three-state outputs compatible with TTL/CMOS microprocessor buses. The on-chip 25ppm/°C reference eliminates external voltage references while supporting 1mA load current.
Key Specifications

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 | 8µs conversion time, requires ±5V/–15V dual supply, –5.25V reference output, no on-chip S/H. | Legacy industrial systems with existing dual-supply infrastructure and mechanical socket constraints. | Select only if backward compatibility with original AD7572 layout and timing is mandatory; higher power and lower speed. |
| MAX1113ECPP+ | 3µs conversion, 5V single supply, but 28-pin SSOP package, no AD7572 pinout, 2.048V reference. | New designs prioritizing modern packaging and extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). | Choose for new layouts where pin compatibility is unnecessary and wider temp range or smaller footprint is critical. |
Compared with AD7572KNZ and MAX1113ECPP+, the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF uniquely combines AD7572 pinout compatibility, single 5V operation, integrated S/H, and 3µs speed - making it the only direct upgrade path for legacy systems needing performance enhancement without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF?
The LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF supports up to 250kHz sampling rate when operated with its 4MHz clock input (LTC1272-3 speed grade). This is achieved with 3µs conversion time and ≤1µs inter-conversion delay, enabling real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist frequency. The LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF datasheet confirms this under Dynamic Accuracy specifications with fS = 250kHz.
Does the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.42V ±1% bandgap reference with 25ppm/°C tempco, available at Pin 2 (VREF). This reference drives the internal DAC and can source up to 1mA for external decoupling - eliminating need for external reference ICs in most applications.
Can the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF replace the AD7572 in an existing PCB layout?
Yes, the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF is pin-compatible with the AD7572 and can plug into the same socket. Key adaptations required: reverse polarity of the VREF bypass capacitor (due to +2.42V vs. –5.25V reference) and leave Pin 23 (NC) unconnected instead of applying –15V. The LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF datasheet explicitly validates this drop-in replacement capability.
What digital interface modes does the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF support?
The LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF supports two digital interface modes controlled by HBEN: (1) Parallel 12-bit read (HBEN low), where D11–D0/8 output the full conversion result simultaneously; and (2) Two-byte 8-bit read (HBEN high), where D11–D8 output the MSB byte and D3/11–D0/8 output the LSB byte in separate cycles - enabling seamless interfacing with both 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors.
What is the thermal performance of the LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF in its SO wide package?
The LTC1272-5ACSW#TRPBF in the 24-lead plastic SO wide (SW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 130°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows continuous operation at up to 70°C ambient when dissipating its typical 75mW power - verified under full 250kHz sampling conditions with VDD = 5V.
