Product details
Overview
LTC1274CSW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with single-ended input, 100ksps sampling rate, 10mW typical power dissipation at 5V, and 1µA shutdown current in Sleep mode. It integrates an internal 2.42V reference, 2µs sample-and-hold, and synchronized clock, enabling direct connection to microprocessors in portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1274CSW#PBF datasheet, LTC1274CSW#PBF pinout, LTC1274CSW#PBF application, or LTC1274CSW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar/bipolar input range flexibility (0V–4.096V / ±2.048V), REFRDY wake-up signaling, 24-pin SOIC-W package compatibility, and 12-bit parallel output timing compliance with 8µs conversion time.
Technical Context
The LTC1274CSW#PBF implements a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with zeroing switches and internal clock synchronization. Its analog front-end supports both unipolar (0V–4.096V) and bipolar (±2.048V) operation via VSS configuration, and features a 2.42V factory-trimmed bandgap reference with ±10ppm/°C tempco.
Digital interface uses asynchronous parallel bus control with CS, CONVST, RD, BUSY, and REFRDY signals. Conversion is initiated on CONVST falling edge (tCONV = 6–8µs), with data valid before BUSY rising edge (t6 = 20–65ns) and 12-bit output latched on RD assertion. SLEEP pin enables 1µA quiescent current mode with 3.3–4.2ms wake-up to REFRDY high.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SO wide (SW), 0.300" body width, RoHS-compliant lead finish (Pb-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (1) | Analog Input | Single-ended input node accepting 0V–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar) signals; requires low-impedance drive for <2µs acquisition. |
| VREF (2) | Reference Output | 2.42V internal reference output; must be bypassed with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic to AGND for noise suppression. |
| AGND (3) | Analog Ground | Separate ground return for analog circuitry; must be tied to DGND only at single point to minimize digital noise coupling. |
| D11–D4 (4–11) | Data Outputs (MSB) | Three-state parallel outputs; D11 is MSB; driven after RD assertion with 50–170ns access time depending on load capacitance. |
| DGND (12) | Digital Ground | Digital logic ground reference; isolated from AGND except at system star point to prevent ground loops. |
| D3–D0 (13–16) | Data Outputs (LSB) | Three-state parallel outputs; D0 is LSB; compatible with 5V TTL/CMOS logic families when VDD = 4.75–5.25V. |
| REFRDY (17) | Reference Ready Flag | Open-drain output indicating reference stability after Sleep wake-up; used to synchronize conversion start in low-power systems. |
| SLEEP (18) | Power-Down Control | Active-low input enabling 1µA shutdown mode; REFRDY goes low during Sleep and returns high after 3.3–4.2ms wake-up delay. |
| CONVST (19) | Conversion Start | Edge-triggered input initiating SAR cycle on falling edge; requires CS low to be recognized; minimum pulse width 40ns. |
| RD (20) | Data Read Enable | Active-low signal enabling three-state outputs; data valid within t9 (50–170ns) after RD↓ depending on CL. |
| CS (21) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for CONVST and RD inputs; must be low before CONVST falling edge to initiate conversion. |
| BUSY (22) | Conversion Status | Active-low open-drain output indicating conversion in progress; rising edge marks data readiness for latching. |
| VSS (23) | Negative Supply | Tied to AGND for unipolar mode; connected to –5V for bipolar operation; defines input common-mode range. |
| VDD (24) | Positive Supply | +5V supply (4.75–5.25V); powers analog and digital sections; bypassed with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic to AGND. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1274CSW#PBF?
The LTC1274CSW#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 100ksps, with guaranteed 12-bit performance and 72.5dB S/(N+D) at 100kHz input frequency. At this rate, conversion time is 6–8µs and acquisition time is 0.35–2µs, enabling real-time capture of signals up to 50kHz Nyquist bandwidth. The LTC1274CSW#PBF maintains usable ENOB (>11 bits) well beyond Nyquist, supporting undersampling applications.
How does the SLEEP mode function in the LTC1274CSW#PBF?
In SLEEP mode, the LTC1274CSW#PBF draws only 0.3–5µA supply current while disabling internal circuitry except the reference generator. The REFRDY pin goes low during Sleep and transitions high after a 3.3–4.2ms wake-up delay (dependent on CREF value), signaling readiness for the next conversion. This behavior is explicitly documented for the LTC1274CSW#PBF in the timing characteristics table and ensures first-sample accuracy after power-down.
Can the LTC1274CSW#PBF operate with a 3V digital interface?
No - the LTC1274CSW#PBF requires VDD = 4.75–5.25V and does not support 3V logic levels. Its digital outputs swing from 0V to VDD, with VOH ≥4.0V at IO = –200µA and VOL ≤0.1V at IO = 1.6mA under 5V operation. For 3V-compatible operation, the LTC1277CSW#PBF variant provides a separate VLOGIC pin supporting 2.7–5.25V logic supply, but the LTC1274CSW#PBF lacks this feature.
What is the input impedance of the LTC1274CSW#PBF analog input?
The LTC1274CSW#PBF analog input exhibits dynamic impedance: during hold mode, input capacitance is 5pF; during sample mode, it rises to 45pF. Input leakage current is ±1µA maximum with CS high. These values are measured and specified in the "Analog Input Characteristics" section of the datasheet, confirming the device's suitability for driving with standard op-amps like LT1007 or LT1224 without external buffering.
Does the LTC1274CSW#PBF support bipolar input configurations?
Yes - the LTC1274CSW#PBF supports bipolar operation with ±2.048V input range when VSS is connected to –5V (not AGND). In this mode, output coding follows 2's complement format, and offset error is specified as ±8 LSB. This bipolar capability is confirmed in the "Analog Input Range" and "Accuracy Characteristics" tables, distinguishing it from unipolar-only ADCs and enabling direct measurement of AC-coupled or differential signals.
