Product details
Overview
LTC1276ACSW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 300ksps successive-approximation ADC with ±5V bipolar input range, on-chip 2.42V reference, internal synchronized clock, and 24-pin SO Wide package. It delivers ±1/2LSB INL, 70dB S/(N+D) at 150kHz, and 75mW typical power dissipation for precision data acquisition in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1276ACSW#PBF datasheet, LTC1276ACSW#PBF pinout, LTC1276ACSW#PBF application, or LTC1276ACSW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar ±5V input support, internal reference tempco (±5ppm/°C), 2.7µs conversion time, high-impedance analog input (±1µA leakage), and compatibility with microprocessor/DSP parallel interfaces using HBEN-controlled 12-bit output multiplexing.
Technical Context
The LTC1276ACSW#PBF implements a 12-bit capacitive DAC-based successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated sample-and-hold (600ns acquisition time) and factory-trimmed internal clock. It operates from ±4.95V to ±5.25V supplies and supports unbuffered bipolar input ranges without external op-amp buffering when source impedance is ≤100Ω.
Its digital interface uses active-low CS and RD signals with HBEN to control 8-bit/12-bit bus multiplexing, BUSY status indication, and three-state outputs. The device features ESD protection on all pins and is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation with A-grade DC accuracy (±1/2LSB INL, ±3/4LSB DNL).

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SO Wide (SW), 0.300" wide body, RoHS-compliant lead-free (PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (1) | Analog Input | Accepts ±5V differential input referenced to AGND; high-impedance (±1µA leakage) with 5pF hold-mode capacitance. |
| VREF (2) | Reference Output | 2.42V bandgap reference output; requires 10µF + 0.1µF decoupling; supplies up to 1mA load current. |
| AGND (3) | Analog Ground | Separate ground return for analog circuitry; must be tied to DGND at single point to minimize noise coupling. |
| D11–D4 (4–11) | Data Outputs | Three-state MSB-aligned outputs; driven only when CS and RD are low; high-impedance otherwise. |
| DGND (12) | Digital Ground | Digital return path; connects to AGND at system star point to prevent ground loops. |
| 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 floating; no routing or soldering required. |
| HBEN (19) | High-Byte Enable | When HIGH, disables conversion start and outputs upper byte (D11–D8); when LOW, enables full 12-bit read. |
| RD (20) | Read Control | 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 inputs; prevents spurious conversions during bus contention. |
| BUSY (22) | Status Output | Active-high open-drain indicator; asserts during conversion; used for polling or interrupt-driven timing. |
| VSS (23) | Negative Supply | –4.95V to –5.25V supply rail; bypass to AGND with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| VDD (24) | Positive Supply | +4.95V to +5.25V supply rail; bypass to AGND with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| High-impedance analog input | ±1µA leakage and 50pF sample-mode capacitance allow direct connection to high-Z sources like piezoelectric sensors. |
| HBEN-controlled 12-bit bus interface | Supports both 8-bit microcontrollers (via byte multiplexing) and 16-bit DSPs (full parallel access) without glue logic. |
| ESD protection on all pins | Withstands >2kV HBM per JEDEC JESD22-A114; improves field reliability in handling-sensitive industrial environments. |
| 600ns sample-and-hold acquisition | Enables accurate digitization of fast transients; compatible with op-amps like LT1220 that settle within 600ns after current spike. |

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, ±10V input range, external reference required, 28-pin SOIC package | Lower speed but wider input range; requires external 2.5V reference and buffer op-amp | Select when ±10V sensor interfaces dominate and 100ksps suffices; avoid if internal reference or 300ksps is mandatory. |
| MAX195BCNG+ | 16-bit, 100ksps, ±5V input, internal reference, 28-pin PDIP/SO package | Higher resolution but half the speed; larger package footprint; higher power (120mW) | Select when 16-bit resolution is critical and 100ksps meets system latency; avoid for throughput-constrained designs. |
Compared with ADS7800U and MAX195BCNG+, the LTC1276ACSW#PBF offers optimal balance of speed (300ksps), integrated reference (2.42V), and compact 24-pin SW package-making it preferred for space-constrained, medium-speed industrial DAQ where ±5V bipolar input and self-contained timing are essential.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1276ACSW#PBF?
The LTC1276ACSW#PBF is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C. This range is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all A-grade specifications including ±1/2LSB INL and ±3/4LSB DNL. The device uses LTBiCMOS switched-capacitor technology optimized for stability across this interval.
Does the LTC1276ACSW#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1276ACSW#PBF does not require an external clock. It incorporates an internally trimmed clock that automatically synchronizes to each RD command, eliminating clock routing, jitter sensitivity, and external component count. The maximum conversion time is 2.7µs, fixed by this internal oscillator.
How is the analog input range configured for the LTC1276ACSW#PBF?
The LTC1276ACSW#PBF is factory-configured for ±5V bipolar input range, which is enabled by its ±4.95V to ±5.25V dual-supply operation. Unlike the LTC1273 (0V–5V) or LTC1275 (±2.5V), the LTC1276ACSW#PBF requires VSS = –4.95V to –5.25V and VDD = +4.95V to +5.25V to maintain specified accuracy and linearity.
Can the internal reference of the LTC1276ACSW#PBF be overdriven or replaced?
No-overdriving the VREF pin of the LTC1276ACSW#PBF is not recommended. While the LTC1275 allows external reference injection above 2.45V for span adjustment, the LTC1276ACSW#PBF's ±5V input range is tightly coupled to its internal 2.42V reference; exceeding VREF risks code loss at full scale and violates absolute maximum ratings.
What digital interface modes does the LTC1276ACSW#PBF support?
The LTC1276ACSW#PBF supports two parallel read modes controlled by HBEN: when HBEN is LOW, all 12 data bits (D11–D0/8) appear simultaneously on the bus; when HBEN is HIGH, only the upper byte (D11–D8) is driven while D3/11–D0/8 output low, enabling compatibility with 8-bit microcontrollers without external latches.
