Product details
Overview
LTC1279IG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 600ksps successive-approximation ADC with internal reference, synchronized clock, and power shutdown. It operates from single 5V or ±5V supplies, delivers 70dB S/(N+D) at 100kHz, consumes 60mW typical, and supports unipolar (0V–5V) or bipolar (±2.5V) input ranges - ideal for high-speed data acquisition in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1279IG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1279IG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1279IG#TRPBF application, or LTC1279IG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±1LSB INL/DNL, 1.4µs conversion time, instant wake-up from shutdown (<350ns), flexible parallel interface timing modes, and SO-24 wide package compatibility with DSP/microprocessor buses.
Technical Context
The LTC1279IG#TRPBF implements a 12-bit capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with integrated sample-and-hold (160ns acquisition), factory-trimmed internal 2.42V bandgap reference, and self-synchronizing internal clock - eliminating external clock source requirements. Its control logic supports Mode 1/2 read protocols via CS, CONVST, RD, and BUSY signals.
It features separate analog (AGND, AVDD, VSS) and digital (DGND, DVDD) supply domains, high-impedance analog input (±1µA leakage), and three-state parallel output drivers (D11–D0). Bipolar operation requires –5V on VSS; unipolar mode ties VSS to AGND. Reference output (pin 2) sources up to 800µA with ±10ppm/°C tempco.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, 600ksps ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BRZ-1 | Same 12-bit SAR architecture, 600ksps, but requires external reference and clock; no internal shutdown. | Needs additional reference IC (e.g., ADR431) and clock generator; higher BOM count and layout complexity. | Select when external reference control or clock synchronization to system master clock is required. |
| MAX1166BCAP+ | 12-bit, 500ksps (slower), internal reference (2.048V), SPI interface instead of parallel; 20-pin TSSOP. | Serial interface reduces pin count but increases µP overhead; lower sampling rate limits Nyquist bandwidth to 250kHz. | Select for space-constrained designs where serial interface and smaller footprint outweigh speed loss. |

FAQ
What supply configurations does the LTC1279IG#TRPBF support?
The LTC1279IG#TRPBF supports two supply configurations: unipolar operation with single +5V on AVDD/DVDD and VSS tied to AGND (0V–5V input), or bipolar operation with +5V on AVDD/DVDD and –5V on VSS (±2.5V input). Absolute maximum ratings allow VSS down to –6V and total supply voltage up to 12V, but specified performance is guaranteed only within the ±5V bipolar or +5V unipolar ranges. The LTC1279IG#TRPBF draws 12mA from AVDD and 0.12mA from VSS at 600ksps.
How does the internal reference of the LTC1279IG#TRPBF function, and can it be overdriven?
The LTC1279IG#TRPBF integrates a factory-trimmed 2.42V bandgap reference accessible at pin 2 (VREF), with ±10ppm/°C tempco and load regulation of 2LSB/mA. It can source up to 800µA and must be bypassed with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic. The VREF pin may be overdriven by an external reference (≥2.45V, ≤4.8V) to adjust input span - for example, using an LT1019A-2.5 to achieve ±2.58V range and <5ppm/°C drift. The LTC1279IG#TRPBF reference remains active unless externally overridden.
What are the timing requirements for reading data from the LTC1279IG#TRPBF?
The LTC1279IG#TRPBF supports two read modes. In Mode 1, RD↓ must occur after BUSY↑ with t7 ≥ –20ns setup; data is valid t8 = 35ns after RD↓ (CL = 20pF). In Mode 2, RD↓ occurs while BUSY is high, and data remains valid until BUSY↓. Minimum RD low time equals t8. All timing is referenced to 20pF/100pF loads, and commercial-grade parts specify t8 ≤ 110ns. The LTC1279IG#TRPBF BUSY signal provides precise conversion completion indication for reliable handshaking.
Does the LTC1279IG#TRPBF require an external clock, and how is conversion synchronized?
No, the LTC1279IG#TRPBF does not require an external clock. It contains an internally trimmed oscillator that automatically synchronizes to each falling edge of CONVST, eliminating asynchronous clock feedthrough issues common in competing ADCs. This internal clock delivers consistent 1.4µs conversion time and eliminates clock routing, jitter management, and external component requirements. The LTC1279IG#TRPBF achieves this while maintaining full 600ksps throughput and guaranteed AC performance across temperature.
What is the guaranteed linearity performance of the LTC1279IG#TRPBF over temperature?
The LTC1279IG#TRPBF guarantees ±1LSB integral nonlinearity (INL) and ±1LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL) over its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), as specified for the "I" grade suffix. These values are tested and ensured across process, voltage, and temperature corners - not just at 25°C. The LTC1279IG#TRPBF also maintains ±6LSB bipolar offset error and ±15LSB gain error across temperature, supporting high-accuracy DC measurement applications without calibration.
