Product details
Overview
LTC1274ISW#PBF 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, and 1µA shutdown current in Sleep mode. It integrates a 2.42V precision reference, internal clock, and sample-and-hold - enabling direct connection to microprocessors in industrial data acquisition systems requiring low-power, high-accuracy digitization of 0V–4.096V unipolar or ±2.048V bipolar signals.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1274ISW#PBF datasheet, LTC1274ISW#PBF pinout, LTC1274ISW#PBF application, or LTC1274ISW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12-bit no-missing-codes performance, 72dB S/(N+D) at 100kHz input, 82dB THD, 24-pin SO wide package, and REFRDY-synchronized wake-up from 1µA Sleep mode - critical for battery-powered portable instrumentation and multiplexed sensor systems.
Technical Context
The LTC1274ISW#PBF implements a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with internal zeroing switches and comparator offset nulling during acquisition. Its 8µs conversion time and 0.35–2µs acquisition window support deterministic timing control via CONVST, BUSY, and RD signals under CS-gated operation.
It operates from single 5V or dual ±5V supplies, supports both unipolar (0V–4.096V) and bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges with 1mV/LSB resolution, and features internally trimmed reference output (2.42V ±20mV) with ±10ppm/°C tempco - all validated across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function and full-scale linearity for precision measurement applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 100ksps maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to 350kHz full-linear bandwidth (S/(N+D) ≥ 68dB). |
| Power Dissipation | 10mW at 100ksps (5V supply) - reduces thermal load and simplifies power budgeting in dense PCB layouts. |
| Sleep Current | 1µA - allows extended battery life in portable systems by powering down between conversions without losing reference stability. |
| Integral Linearity | ±1 LSB - ensures ≤0.024% full-scale error for calibration-sensitive applications like sensor front-ends and process control. |
| Reference Output | 2.42V ±20mV with ±10ppm/°C tempco - provides stable scaling for 0V–4.096V unipolar input (1mV/LSB), eliminating need for external reference. |
| Signal-to-Noise+Distortion | 72.5dB typ at 100kHz input - delivers >11.7 effective bits (ENOB) for high-fidelity signal reconstruction in audio and telecom processing. |
Pinout & Package
24-lead plastic SO wide (SW) package, 0.300" body width, RoHS-compliant, rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W; TJMAX = 110°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (Pin 1) | Analog Input | Single-ended input node accepting 0V–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar); requires <2µs settling after sample phase for full accuracy. |
| VREF (Pin 2) | Reference Output | 2.42V bandgap reference output; must be bypassed with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic to AGND for <1 LSB noise; supports overdrive for span adjustment. |
| AGND (Pin 3) | Analog Ground | Separate ground return for analog circuitry; must be tied to DGND at single point to minimize digital noise coupling into conversion path. |
| D11–D4 (Pins 4–11) | Data Outputs (MSB) | Three-state parallel outputs; D11 = MSB; driven only when CS and RD are active low; high-impedance when CS high. |
| DGND (Pin 12) | Digital Ground | Digital logic ground reference; isolation from AGND prevents ground bounce from corrupting analog sampling. |
| D3–D0 (Pins 13–16) | Data Outputs (LSB) | Three-state parallel outputs; D0 = LSB; synchronized to RD falling edge; valid within 50ns (CL=20pF) after RD assertion. |
| REFRDY (Pin 17) | Reference Ready Flag | Open-drain output indicating VREF has settled post-Sleep; goes high after 3.3–4.2ms (dependent on CREF), enabling safe conversion restart. |
| SLEEP (Pin 18) | Power-Down Control | Active-low input; pulls device into 1µA Sleep mode when low; forces REFRDY low until wake-up completes. |
| CONVST (Pin 19) | Conversion Start | Edge-triggered input; falling edge initiates SAR cycle; requires CS low to be recognized; minimum pulse width 40ns. |
| RD (Pin 20) | Data Read Enable | Active-low strobe enabling output drivers; data valid t9 = 50–170ns after RD↓ depending on load capacitance. |
| CS (Pin 21) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for CONVST and RD recognition; must be low before CONVST or RD transitions to avoid undefined behavior. |
| BUSY (Pin 22) | Conversion Status | Active-low open-drain flag; goes low at CONVST↓ and rises ~6–8µs later to indicate data ready; used for handshaking with µP. |
| VSS (Pin 23) | Negative Supply | Tied to AGND for unipolar operation; connected to –5V for bipolar mode; defines input common-mode range and reference headroom. |
| VDD (Pin 24) | Positive Supply | +5V supply (4.75–5.25V); powers analog core, reference, and digital interface; bypassed with 10µF + 0.1µF to AGND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, 100ksps ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | SPI interface, 2.7–5.25V supply, 1µA shutdown, but no internal reference - requires external 2.5V ref and level-shifting for 5V µP interface. | Best suited for space-constrained designs where serial interface and lower supply voltage flexibility outweigh parallel bus convenience. | Select ADS7822U when board area is limited and system already includes a precision 2.5V reference; avoid if existing design relies on parallel data bus timing. |
| MAX11131AUT+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal reference (2.048V), SPI interface, 1.25µA shutdown, but only specified for 0°C to +70°C commercial range. | Higher speed and lower power ideal for new portable designs, but lacks industrial temperature rating and parallel output compatibility. | Choose MAX11131AUT+ for next-gen battery-powered instruments needing >100ksps; reject for legacy industrial systems requiring pin-compatible replacement or –40°C operation. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11131AUT+, the LTC1274ISW#PBF uniquely combines parallel 12-bit output, integrated 2.42V reference, industrial temperature rating, and deterministic 8µs conversion timing - making it irreplaceable in existing µP-based DAQ systems where layout, firmware, and calibration are fixed.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1274ISW#PBF?
The LTC1274ISW#PBF is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters including integral linearity (±1 LSB), reference voltage (2.42V ±20mV), and sleep current (≤5µA max), making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory floors and outdoor monitoring equipment.
Does the LTC1274ISW#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1274ISW#PBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.42V internal reference connected to Pin 2 (VREF), which supports its full 0V–4.096V unipolar or ±2.048V bipolar input range. While the VREF pin can be overdriven with an external reference for span adjustment, external reference is not required for standard operation - reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
How does the REFRDY signal function during wake-up from Sleep mode?
The REFRDY signal on the LTC1274ISW#PBF goes low when SLEEP is asserted and remains low until the internal reference settles. After SLEEP returns high, REFRDY transitions high after 3.3–4.2ms (depending on CREF value), signaling that the reference is stable and the first valid conversion may begin. This eliminates guesswork in timing-critical systems.
What is the maximum sampling rate and corresponding power consumption of the LTC1274ISW#PBF?
The LTC1274ISW#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 100ksps with 2mA typical supply current (10mW at 5V). At this rate, it maintains 72.5dB S/(N+D) and ±1 LSB integral linearity. Power scales linearly with sample rate, dropping to 1µA in Sleep mode - enabling dynamic power management in burst-acquisition applications.
Can the LTC1274ISW#PBF operate with a 3V digital interface?
No - the LTC1274ISW#PBF is a single-supply 5V ADC with digital I/O referenced to VDD (4.75–5.25V). Its logic thresholds (VIH = 2.4V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and output drive levels (VOH ≥ 4.0V at 200µA) are incompatible with 3V-only microcontrollers. For 3V logic compatibility, the pin-compatible LTC1277ISW#PBF (with separate VLOGIC pin) must be used instead.
