Product details
Overview
LTC1275ACSW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 300ksps successive-approximation ADC designed for ±2.5V bipolar input operation with internal 2.42V reference, 75mW typical power dissipation, and ±1/2LSB INL max at 0°C to 70°C. It integrates sample-and-hold, precision reference, and synchronized internal clock, enabling direct interface to microprocessors and DSPs in high-speed data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1275ACSW#PBF datasheet, LTC1275ACSW#PBF pinout, LTC1275ACSW#PBF application, or LTC1275ACSW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2.5V input range, 24-pin SO Wide package, 70dB S/(N+D) at Nyquist, 2.7µs conversion time, and HBEN-controlled 8/12-bit parallel output mode - all critical for precision analog-to-digital conversion in signal processing and spectrum analysis.
Technical Context
The LTC1275ACSW#PBF implements a 12-bit capacitive DAC-based successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and factory-trimmed internal clock. Its bipolar ±2.5V input range is supported by dual ±5V supplies (VDD = +5V, VSS = –5V), and it uses a 2.42V bandgap reference with ±5ppm/°C tempco over temperature.
Digital interface operates via CS, RD, and HBEN control lines to manage conversion start and 12-bit parallel output multiplexing (D11–D0/8). The device features three-state outputs, BUSY status flag, and ESD protection on all pins - optimized for noise-sensitive, high-throughput embedded measurement applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for accurate linear measurements. |
| Sampling Rate | 300ksps maximum - supports real-time capture of signals up to 150kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Analog Input Range | ±2.5V bipolar - requires ±5V supplies and enables full-scale differential measurement without external level-shifting. |
| INL / DNL | ±1/2LSB max integral nonlinearity, ±3/4LSB max differential nonlinearity - ensures <0.012% absolute accuracy across full code range. |
| S/(N + D) | 70dB at 150kHz Nyquist input - delivers ~11.3 effective bits for high-fidelity spectral analysis. |
| Power Dissipation | 75mW typical at 300ksps - enables low-thermal-load integration in dense PCB layouts. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.42V ±0.02V output with ±5ppm/°C tempco - eliminates need for external reference in most industrial-grade designs. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SO Wide (SW), RoHS-compliant, lead-free (PBF), 0.300" wide body, JEDEC MS-013AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (1) | Analog Input | Accepts ±2.5V differential input referenced to AGND; high-impedance (>1GΩ) with 50pF sampling capacitance. |
| VREF (2) | Reference Output | 2.42V precision voltage source; must be bypassed with 10µF + 0.1µF to AGND for optimal noise performance. |
| 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 | Three-state MSB-aligned outputs; active when CS and RD are low; driven during read cycle only. |
| DGND (12) | Digital Ground | Ground reference for digital I/O; isolation from AGND reduces switching noise injection into analog path. |
| D3/11–D0/8 (13–16) | Data Outputs | Lower byte outputs; multiplexed with upper byte via HBEN; enable 8-bit bus interface compatibility. |
| NC (17, 18) | No Connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected per design - no routing or grounding allowed. |
| HBEN (19) | High Byte Enable | Controls 12-bit vs. 8-bit output mode; disables conversion when HIGH - used for synchronization and bus arbitration. |
| RD (20) | Read Input | Active-low signal that initiates conversion when CS and HBEN are low; also enables output drivers. |
| CS (21) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for RD and HBEN logic; prevents spurious conversions during bus contention. |
| BUSY (22) | Status Output | Active-low open-drain flag indicating conversion in progress; used for polling or interrupt-driven timing. |
| VSS (23) | Negative Supply | –5V supply rail for bipolar operation; must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic to AGND. |
| VDD (24) | Positive Supply | +5V supply rail; bypassed with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic to AGND to suppress supply ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronized clock | Eliminates external clock source and associated jitter/noise; auto-synchronizes to each RD command for deterministic timing. |
| On-chip 25ppm/°C reference | Factory-trimmed 2.42V bandgap reference with curvature correction - achieves ±0.02V accuracy and stable full-scale drift over 0°C to 70°C. |
| High-impedance analog input | ±1µA leakage current and 50pF acquisition capacitance - allows direct connection to high-Z sensors or op-amp buffers without gain error. |
| ESD protection on all pins | Withstands >2kV HBM per JESD22-A114 - enhances robustness in manufacturing, test, and field-deployed instrumentation. |
| Parallel 12-bit interface with HBEN | Supports both full 12-bit (D11–D0) and byte-multiplexed (D7–D0 + D11–D8) reads - simplifies integration with 8-bit microcontrollers and FIFOs. |
| 600ns sample-and-hold acquisition time | Enables accurate sampling of fast-rising signals with minimal settling delay - compatible with op-amps like LT1220 and LT1224. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7800U | 12-bit, 100ksps, ±5V input, external reference required, 28-pin SOIC | Lower speed and no internal reference - requires additional voltage reference IC and clock source. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-throughput systems where board space permits extra components. |
| MAX1166BCPP+ | 12-bit, 250ksps, ±2.5V input, internal reference, 24-pin PDIP/SO | Slightly slower sampling (250ksps vs. 300ksps); same ±2.5V range but higher 100mW power draw. | Prefer when legacy PDIP footprint compatibility is required or when MAXIM's SPI interface is preferred over parallel bus. |
Compared with ADS7800U and MAX1166BCPP+, the LTC1275ACSW#PBF delivers the highest throughput (300ksps) with lowest power (75mW) and fully integrated timing/reference - making it optimal for compact, high-channel-count data loggers where deterministic parallel read timing is essential.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1275ACSW#PBF?
The LTC1275ACSW#PBF is rated for commercial operation from 0°C to 70°C. This AC-grade specification ensures guaranteed performance for INL (±1/2LSB), DNL (±3/4LSB), and S/(N+D) (70dB at Nyquist) across the full temperature range - critical for industrial control and test equipment deployed in non-climate-controlled environments. The SW package has θJA = 130°C/W.
Does the LTC1275ACSW#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1275ACSW#PBF does not require an external clock source. It features an internally trimmed clock synchronized to each RD command, delivering a fixed 2.7µs conversion time. This eliminates clock distribution noise and simplifies system timing - a key advantage over competing SAR ADCs that mandate precise external clock generation and routing.
How is the 12-bit output accessed on the LTC1275ACSW#PBF?
The LTC1275ACSW#PBF provides 12-bit parallel output via two modes controlled by HBEN. When HBEN is LOW, all 12 bits appear simultaneously on D11–D4 and D3/11–D0/8. When HBEN is HIGH, only the upper byte (D11–D8) is driven on D11–D4, while D3/11–D0/8 hold the lower byte - enabling compatibility with 8-bit data buses without external latching.
Can the internal reference of the LTC1275ACSW#PBF be overdriven for input span adjustment?
Yes, the VREF pin of the LTC1275ACSW#PBF can be overdriven above 2.42V (e.g., with an op-amp like LT1006) to adjust input span and improve temperature drift. Driving VREF to ≥2.45V disables the internal reference; the new reference sets full-scale to ±1.033×VREF(OUT). This feature is supported only on LTC1275 - not recommended for LTC1273 or LTC1276 due to supply rail violation risk.
What are the absolute maximum supply ratings for the LTC1275ACSW#PBF?
The LTC1275ACSW#PBF has absolute maximum ratings of VDD = +12V, VSS = –6V, and total supply voltage (VDD to VSS) ≤ 12V. However, recommended operating conditions specify VDD = +4.75V to +5.25V and VSS = –2.45V to –5.25V. Exceeding these ranges risks permanent damage or degraded linearity, especially near the ±2.5V input limits.
