Product details
Overview
LTC1277CSW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with differential analog input, 2-byte parallel read interface, and dual power-down modes (Nap at 180µA and Sleep at 1µA). It operates from single 5V or ±5V supplies, delivers 100ksps sampling rate, 72dB S/(N+D) at 100kHz input, and supports unipolar (0V–4.096V) or bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges - used in high-speed data acquisition systems interfacing with 3V/5V microprocessors.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1277CSW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1277CSW#TRPBF application, or LTC1277CSW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential input architecture, 2.42V internal reference with overdrive capability, Nap-mode wake-up time of 620ns, HBEN-controlled two-byte read timing, and SO-24 wide-body package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
The LTC1277CSW#TRPBF implements a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation register (SAR) with integrated sample-and-hold, internal synchronized clock, and factory-trimmed 2.42V bandgap reference. Its differential input stage (AIN+/AIN–) enables rejection of common-mode noise, while offset-binary encoding in bipolar mode ensures seamless sign-magnitude interpretation for DSP interfaces.
Control logic supports microprocessor interfacing via CS, CONVST, RD, and HBEN signals; BUSY indicates conversion status, REFRDY signals reference stabilization after Sleep wake-up, and NAP enables ultrafast low-power state entry/exit. The VLOGIC pin allows independent 2.7V–5.25V digital supply for mixed-voltage system integration.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SO wide (SW), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-013AC, 7.5mm body width, 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+ | Differential analog input (+) | Accepts 0V–4.096V unipolar or ±2.048V bipolar relative to AIN–; requires low-noise drive during conversion. |
| AIN– | Differential analog input (–) | Reference node for differential measurement; must remain quiet during conversion to avoid code errors. |

| REFRDY | Reference ready indicator | Asserts high after Sleep wake-up when VREF settles - required before initiating first conversion. |
| NAP | Nap mode enable | Pull low to enter 180µA Nap mode; wake-up latency 620ns - ideal for brief idle intervals between samples. |
| HBEN | High byte enable | When high, outputs D11–D8 on pins D3/11–D0/8; enables sequential 8-bit reads for 8-bit bus systems. |
| D7–D4 / D3/11–D0/8 | 2-byte parallel data outputs | Delivers 12-bit result as two 8-bit bytes (MSB first); supports straight binary (unipolar) or offset binary (bipolar). |

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 | 8-bit, 200ksps, single-ended input, no Nap mode, 2.5V internal reference | Lower resolution and no differential input - suitable only for cost-sensitive non-critical sensing | Select only if 8-bit resolution suffices and differential rejection is unnecessary; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and interface differences. |
| AD7490BRUZ | 12-bit, 1MSPS, pseudo-differential input, SPI interface, 2.5V reference, 16-pin TSSOP | Higher speed but SPI-only interface and no Nap mode - requires FPGA/MCU SPI peripheral and additional decoupling | Choose when throughput >100ksps is mandatory and system already uses SPI infrastructure; incompatible pinout and power-down behavior. |
Compared with ADS7822U and AD7490BRUZ, the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF uniquely combines differential input, Nap-mode power gating, and parallel 2-byte read - making it optimal for embedded systems needing noise-immune 100ksps acquisition with minimal processor overhead and ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF?
The LTC1277CSW#TRPBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 100ksps, verified across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C). This rate is achievable with proper timing adherence to tCONV ≤ 8µs and t7 ≥ 0.35µs delay between conversions. At this rate, the device draws 2mA from VDD and delivers 72.5dB S/(N+D) performance at 100kHz input frequency.
Does the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF support both unipolar and bipolar input configurations?
Yes, the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF supports both configurations: unipolar input range of 0V to 4.096V (with VSS = AGND) and bipolar range of ±2.048V (with VSS = –5V). In bipolar mode, output coding uses offset binary format, while unipolar mode uses straight binary - both are fully specified with ±1 LSB integral linearity error.
How does the Nap mode differ from Sleep mode in the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF?
Nap mode (enabled by pulling NAP low) reduces supply current to 180µA while retaining reference stability and enabling instant 620ns wake-up; Sleep mode (SLEEP low) draws only 1µA but requires 3.3–4.2ms for REFRDY assertion before sampling. Nap is ideal for microsecond-scale idle gaps; Sleep suits longer standby periods where wake-up latency is acceptable.
Can the internal reference of the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF be overdriven with an external voltage source?
Yes, the VREF pin of the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF can be overdriven with an external reference voltage ≥2.45V and ≤5V. This adjusts the full-scale input range proportionally - e.g., driving VREF to 5V yields ±4.23V bipolar range. The internal reference is disabled when external voltage exceeds 2.45V, and load regulation is specified at 2 LSB/mA.
What is the purpose of the HBEN pin on the LTC1277CSW#TRPBF?
The HBEN (High Byte Enable) pin controls data output sequencing: when high, the four most significant bits (D11–D8) appear on pins D3/11–D0/8, allowing 8-bit bus systems to read the 12-bit result in two cycles. When low, all eight pins output the low byte (D7–D0). This feature enables flexible interface design with both 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers without external latches.
