Product details
Overview
LTC1274CSW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with single-ended analog input, 100ksps sampling rate, 10mW typical power dissipation at 5V, internal 2.42V reference, and 1µA shutdown current in Sleep mode. It operates from single 5V or ±5V supplies and delivers 72dB S/(N + D) at 100kHz input frequency - suited for portable data acquisition and embedded signal conditioning where low quiescent current and self-contained timing are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1274CSW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1274CSW#TRPBF application, or LTC1274CSW#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed application roles, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all grounded in the official LTC1274/LTC1277 datasheet Rev. G and Linear Technology product documentation.
Technical Context
The LTC1274CSW#TRPBF implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, precision bandgap reference, and synchronized internal clock - eliminating external timing components. Its unipolar/bipolar conversion modes are selected by VSS connection (0V or –5V), and output format is 12-bit parallel straight binary (unipolar) or 2's complement (bipolar).
It features dual low-power states: Sleep mode (1µA, REFRDY assertion required before sampling) and full active operation (2mA at 100ksps). The analog input exhibits 45pF capacitance in sample mode and only 5pF during hold, enabling clean acquisition with minimal external drive requirements - compatible with op amps like LT1007 or LT1224 that settle within 2µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function and deterministic code transitions across full range. |
| Sampling Rate | 100ksps maximum - supports real-time digitization of signals up to ~350kHz full-linear bandwidth without aliasing degradation. |
| Power Dissipation | 10mW at 100ksps (5V supply) - enables battery-powered operation with >100-hour runtime on a 1000mAh cell at continuous sampling. |
| Input Range | 0V to 4.096V unipolar (1mV/LSB) or ±2.048V bipolar - matches standard 12-bit LSB scaling and simplifies gain calibration. |
| S/(N + D) | 72.5dB typical at 100kHz input - corresponds to ~11.8 ENOB, sufficient for high-fidelity audio and telecom baseband sampling. |
| Integral Linearity | ±1 LSB max - ensures <0.025% full-scale error, critical for precision instrumentation and closed-loop control feedback. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA in Sleep mode - reduces average system power by >99.9% during idle intervals in duty-cycled measurement systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SO wide (SW), 0.300" body width, RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-013AC. Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W; TJMAX = 110°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (1) | Analog Input | Single-ended voltage input; accepts 0V–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar); requires <2µs settling after sample-phase current spike. |
| VREF (2) | Reference Output | 2.42V ±20mV factory-trimmed bandgap reference; can be overdriven externally; requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypass for low-noise operation. |
| AGND (3) | Analog Ground | Separate ground return for analog circuitry; must be tied to DGND at single point to minimize digital noise coupling. |
| D11–D4 (4–11) | Data Outputs (MSB) | Three-state parallel outputs; D11 = MSB; high-impedance when CS = high or RD = high; drives standard TTL/CMOS loads. |
| DGND (12) | Digital Ground | Dedicated ground for digital I/O; isolation from AGND prevents ground bounce from corrupting analog accuracy. |
| D3–D0 (13–16) | Data Outputs (LSB) | Three-state parallel outputs; D0 = LSB; latched valid after BUSY rising edge; timing-critical for microprocessor interface. |
| REFRDY (17) | Reference Ready Flag | Open-drain output goes high after reference settles post-Sleep wake-up; used to synchronize conversion start in low-power systems. |
| SLEEP (18) | Power-Down Control | Active-low input; pulls device into 1µA Sleep mode; REFRDY asserts only after internal reference stabilizes (~3.3–4.2ms depending on CREF). |
| CONVST (19) | Conversion Start | Edge-triggered input; falling edge initiates SAR cycle; must be asserted with CS low; minimum pulse width 40ns. |
| RD (20) | Data Read Enable | Active-low signal enabling output drivers; data valid t9 = 50–170ns after RD↓ depending on load capacitance. |
| CS (21) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for CONVST and RD recognition; must be low before CONVST↓ to avoid timing violation. |
| BUSY (22) | Conversion Status | Active-low open-drain output; goes low at CONVST↓, rises when conversion complete; used to latch result or trigger next sample. |
| VSS (23) | Negative Supply | Tied to 0V for unipolar mode; –5V for bipolar mode; bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic to AGND. |
| VDD (24) | Positive Supply | +5V supply (4.75–5.25V); bypassed with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic to AGND; powers analog and digital sections. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Sample-and-Hold | 2µs acquisition time enables direct interface to low-settling op amps (e.g., LT1223), eliminating external SHA component and layout complexity. |
| Internal Trimmed Clock | Removes need for external crystal or oscillator; guarantees 100ksps timing accuracy across temperature and supply variations. |
| Overdrivable Reference Pin | VREF pin accepts external 2.45–5V references (e.g., LT1019A-2.5), enabling calibrated full-scale spans like 0–5V or ±4.23V without resistor networks. |
| 1µA Sleep Mode with REFRDY | Enables ultra-low-power duty cycling: device wakes, waits for REFRDY, samples, and returns to Sleep - ideal for sensor nodes with 1s+ intervals. |
| Unipolar/Bipolar Mode Switching | Mode selected solely by VSS connection (0V or –5V); no configuration registers or software overhead - simplifies firmware and reduces BOM count. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 2.7V–5.25V supply; SPI interface; 200ksps; 1.25mW @ 100ksps; no internal reference - requires external 2.5V ref. | Lower power but serial interface increases MCU overhead; lacks Sleep mode flag (REFRDY) and bipolar support. | Prefer when board space is constrained and SPI is already used; avoid if bipolar input or hardware-synced low-power wake-up is required. |
| MAX1113CPE+ | 5V-only supply; 100ksps; 12-bit parallel; internal 4.096V ref; 2.5µA shutdown; no REFRDY; SO-24 package. | Higher shutdown current (2.5µA vs 1µA); no REFRDY signal complicates Sleep wake-up sequencing; fixed 4.096V ref limits span flexibility. | Acceptable for unipolar-only designs with relaxed power budget; not suitable for battery systems requiring guaranteed sub-2µA sleep or bipolar mode. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1113CPE+, the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF uniquely combines 1µA Sleep current with REFRDY signaling, bipolar/unipolar mode selection via VSS, and internal trimmable reference - making it optimal for portable, multi-range, and ultra-low-power measurement systems where timing predictability and analog flexibility are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF?
The LTC1274CSW#TRPBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 100ksps, with typical conversion time of 6–8µs and acquisition time of 0.35–2µs. This rate is guaranteed across the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and maintains 72dB S/(N + D) at 100kHz input frequency - enabling undersampling of signals beyond Nyquist while preserving dynamic range.
Does the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF does not require an external clock source. It integrates a synchronized internal clock optimized for 100ksps operation, eliminating timing jitter from external oscillators and reducing BOM count. The internal clock is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated, ensuring stable sampling rate across supply and temperature variations without user calibration.
How does the Sleep mode work on the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF?
The LTC1274CSW#TRPBF enters Sleep mode when the SLEEP pin is driven low, reducing supply current to ≤5µA (typical 1µA). After wake-up, the internal 2.42V reference requires stabilization before sampling - signaled by the REFRDY pin going high. Wake-up time depends on VREF bypass capacitance: 3.3ms with 4.7µF, 4.2ms with 10µF. This sequence ensures accurate conversions post-wake-up.
Can the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF operate in bipolar mode?
Yes, the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF supports bipolar operation by connecting VSS to –5V (within –5.25V to –2.45V range). In this configuration, the analog input range becomes ±2.048V with 2's complement output coding. Unipolar mode uses VSS = 0V and yields 0V–4.096V input with straight binary output. Mode selection is hardware-defined - no register writes or software configuration needed.
What is the purpose of the REFRDY pin on the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF?
The REFRDY pin on the LTC1274CSW#TRPBF is an open-drain status signal that goes high when the internal 2.42V reference has fully settled after exiting Sleep mode. It provides hardware synchronization for the system controller, ensuring that conversion starts only after reference stability - preventing gain and offset errors caused by premature sampling. REFRDY assertion time is 3.3–4.2ms depending on VREF bypass capacitor value.
