Product details
Overview
LTC1276ACN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 300ksps successive-approximation ADC designed for ±5V bipolar input operation. It integrates a 2.42V on-chip reference (±5ppm/°C max), internal synchronized clock (2.7µs conversion time), and high-impedance analog input. It delivers 70dB S/(N+D) and 77dB THD at Nyquist (150kHz), with ±1/2LSB INL and ±3/4LSB DNL (A-grade), targeting precision data acquisition in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1276ACN#PBF datasheet, LTC1276ACN#PBF pinout, LTC1276ACN#PBF application, or LTC1276ACN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5V input range, 24-pin PDIP package, internal reference accuracy, 300ksps throughput, and compatibility with microprocessor parallel bus interfaces using CS/RD/HBEN control.
Technical Context
The LTC1276ACN#PBF uses LTBiCMOS switched-capacitor technology with an integrated sample-and-hold (600ns acquisition time) and 12-bit capacitive DAC. Its SAR architecture operates without external clocking due to a factory-trimmed internal oscillator synchronized to RD commands.
Digital interface supports two-byte read (via HBEN multiplexing) or full 12-bit parallel output, with BUSY status signaling and three-state outputs. Input range is fixed at ±5V when powered from ±5V supplies (VDD = +5V, VSS = –5V), and DC accuracy is specified over 0°C to 70°C.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic DIP (PDIP), 0.300" wide, through-hole mount. Pin pitch: 0.100", body width: 0.300", overall dimensions: 0.785" × 0.270". RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (#PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (1) | Analog Input | Accepts ±5V differential input relative to AGND; high-impedance (>1GΩ), low-leakage (±1µA) node requiring <100Ω source for optimal AC performance. |
| VREF (2) | Reference Output | 2.42V buffered reference output; must be decoupled 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 at single point to minimize digital noise coupling. |
| D11–D4 (4–11) | Data Outputs (MSB–D4) | Three-state parallel outputs; active when CS and RD low; drive standard TTL/CMOS loads with VOH ≥4.0V @ –200µA. |
| DGND (12) | Digital Ground | Digital supply return; connects to system digital ground plane; isolation from AGND prevents ground bounce corruption of analog measurements. |
| D3/11–D0/8 (13–16) | Data Outputs (D3–D0 / D11–D8) | Multiplexed lower byte; HBEN = LOW enables full 12-bit parallel output; HBEN = HIGH enables two-byte read mode. |
| NC (17,18) | No Connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| HBEN (19) | High-Byte Enable | Controls data bus multiplexing; LOW enables D11–D0 full-word output; HIGH disables conversion start and enables byte-mode reads. |
| RD (20) | Read Input | Active-low control initiating conversion when CS and HBEN are low; also enables output drivers during data transfer. |
| CS (21) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for RD and HBEN inputs; must be held low during conversion and data access cycles. |
| BUSY (22) | Conversion Status | Open-collector output; LOW during conversion (2.7µs); used for polling or interrupt-driven data capture synchronization. |
| VSS (23) | Negative Supply | –5V supply rail; bypass to AGND with 0.1µF ceramic; absolute max –6V; required for ±5V input operation. |
| VDD (24) | Positive Supply | +5V supply rail; bypass to AGND with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic; absolute max +12V; powers analog and digital sections. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, 300ksps sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7800KP | 12-bit, 200ksps, ±5V input, external reference required; no internal clock; 28-pin SOIC package. | Lower speed and no integrated reference increase system complexity; requires external clock and reference design effort. | Select when lower power (35mW) and smaller SOIC footprint outweigh need for internal clock/reference integration. |
| MAX195BCPP | 16-bit, 100ksps, ±5V input, internal reference (2.5V), SPI interface; 28-pin DIP package. | Higher resolution but slower speed; serial interface reduces pin count but increases CPU overhead vs parallel bus. | Select when 16-bit resolution is mandatory and 100ksps suffices; accept SPI timing constraints and reduced throughput. |
Compared with ADS7800KP and MAX195BCPP, the LTC1276ACN#PBF uniquely combines 300ksps speed, ±5V bipolar input, internal 2.42V reference, and synchronous parallel interface in a 24-pin PDIP-enabling drop-in replacement in legacy industrial DAQ systems without redesigning reference, clock, or bus logic.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1276ACN#PBF?
The LTC1276ACN#PBF is rated for commercial operation from 0°C to 70°C. This range is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all DC and AC specifications including INL, DNL, S/(N+D), and reference stability. Operation outside this range may result in parametric degradation or permanent damage.
Does the LTC1276ACN#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1276ACN#PBF does not require an external clock. It features an internally trimmed oscillator that automatically synchronizes to each RD command, delivering a guaranteed 2.7µs conversion time. This eliminates clock routing, jitter sensitivity, and external component dependencies-simplifying PCB layout and improving timing determinism.
Can the LTC1276ACN#PBF operate with a single 5V supply?
No, the LTC1276ACN#PBF cannot operate with a single 5V supply. It requires dual ±5V supplies (VDD = +5V, VSS = –5V) to support its ±5V analog input range. Attempting single-supply operation violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and will result in incorrect conversion or device damage. The LTC1273 variant is the single-supply (0V–5V) member of the family.
What is the purpose of the HBEN pin on the LTC1276ACN#PBF?
The HBEN (High-Byte Enable) pin on the LTC1276ACN#PBF controls data bus multiplexing: when LOW, it enables full 12-bit parallel output on D11–D0/8; when HIGH, it restricts output to D11–D8 (high byte) and disables conversion initiation. This allows 8-bit microcontrollers to read the 12-bit result in two sequential bytes, reducing interface complexity without external latches.
How is the reference voltage used internally in the LTC1276ACN#PBF?
The 2.42V reference voltage generated at the VREF pin is internally connected to the 12-bit capacitive DAC and serves as the scaling基准 for the ±5V full-scale input range. It defines 1LSB = 2.44mV (10V/4096). The reference is curvature-corrected and factory-trimmed; driving VREF externally is not recommended for the LTC1276ACN#PBF as it risks exceeding supply rails and losing full-scale codes.
