Product details
Overview
LTC1279ISW#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 - used in high-speed data acquisition and DSP interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1279ISW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1279ISW#TRPBF application, or LTC1279ISW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±1LSB INL/DNL, 1.4µs conversion time, 24-pin SO Wide package compatibility, and flexible parallel interface timing for FIFO/microprocessor synchronization.
Technical Context
The LTC1279ISW#TRPBF implements a 12-bit capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with integrated sample-and-hold (160ns acquisition), factory-trimmed internal clock (1.4µs conversion), and on-chip 2.42V bandgap reference. Its control logic accepts active-low CONVST and CS inputs, asserts BUSY during conversion, and outputs three-state parallel data (D11–D0).
It supports dual supply modes: unipolar (AVDD = DVDD = 5V, VSS tied to AGND) and bipolar (AVDD = DVDD = 5V, VSS = –5V), with separate analog/digital ground pins (AGND, DGND) and independent analog/digital power rails (AVDD, DVDD) to minimize noise coupling. Input leakage is ±1µA, and analog input capacitance is 25pF in sample mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer and full-scale code coverage for precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 600ksps maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to 300kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| S/(N + D) | 70dB at 100kHz input - ensures ≥11.3 effective bits for high-fidelity signal digitization in spectral analysis. |
| INL / DNL | ±1LSB max - maintains linearity critical for calibration-sensitive applications like instrumentation and telecom. |
| Power Dissipation | 60mW typ at 600ksps; 8.5mW in shutdown - allows thermal-constrained embedded designs with instant wake-up (350ns). |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to 5V (unipolar) or ±2.5V (bipolar) - configurable via supply configuration without external level-shifting. |
| Reference Output | 2.420V ±20mV, ±10ppm/°C tempco - stable internal reference usable as system reference or overdriven externally. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SO Wide (SW), 0.300" wide body, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W; operating temperature range –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (1) | Analog Input | High-impedance node accepting 0V–5V (unipolar) or ±2.5V (bipolar); 25pF input capacitance in sample mode. |
| VREF (2) | Reference Output | 2.42V buffered output; supplies DAC and can drive ≤800µA load; decoupling required (10µF + 0.1µF). |
| AGND (3) | Analog Ground | Single-point analog return; must be isolated from DGND except at star point to prevent digital noise injection. |
| D11–D4 (4–11) | Data Outputs (MSB-first) | Three-state parallel bus outputs; D11 is MSB; high-Z when CS high or RD low. |
| DGND (12) | Digital Ground | Digital return path; connected to AGND only at designated star point per layout guidelines. |
| D3–D0 (13–16) | Data Outputs (LSB) | Completes 12-bit parallel word; D0 is LSB; timing-critical for t8 (data access: 35–170ns). |
| DVDD (17) | Digital Supply | +5V digital rail; tied to AVDD; powers logic and output drivers; bypassing required. |
| SHDN (18) | Shutdown Control | Active-low input; reduces current to 1.7mA and power to 8.5mW; wake-up time 350ns. |
| CONVST (19) | Conversion Start | Falling-edge triggered; initiates SAR cycle only when CS = low; minimum pulse width 40ns. |
| RD (20) | Read Strobe | Active-low; enables output drivers when CS = low; controls data validity window relative to BUSY. |
| CS (21) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for CONVST and RD recognition; must be asserted before CONVST edge. |
| BUSY (22) | Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; synchronizes host read timing. |
| VSS (23) | Negative Supply | –5V for bipolar operation; tied to AGND for unipolar; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to AGND. |
| AVDD (24) | Analog Supply | +5V analog rail; powers sample-and-hold and comparator; bypassed with 10µF + 0.1µF to AGND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronized clock | Eliminates external clock routing and asynchronous jitter; auto-synchronizes to each CONVST edge. |
| Flexible parallel interface | Supports Mode 1/2 timing for direct connection to microprocessors, DSPs, and FIFOs without glue logic. |
| Instant wake-up from shutdown | 350ns recovery enables dynamic power gating between conversions - critical for battery-powered DAQ. |
| Overdrivable internal reference | VREF pin accepts external 2.45V–4.8V reference to adjust input span in bipolar mode without losing accuracy. |
| Separate analog/digital grounds | AGND and DGND pins enable PCB-level isolation - essential for maintaining 70dB AC performance. |
| High-impedance analog input | ±1µA leakage and 25pF capacitance allow direct connection to op-amps (e.g., LT1360, LT1220) without buffering. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, 600ksps parallel-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BRZ-1 | 12-bit, 600ksps, single 5V supply only; no internal reference; requires external REF; 28-lead SOIC. | Unipolar-only operation; lacks bipolar mode and internal VREF - needs external 2.5V reference and level-shifting for ±2.5V inputs. | Select when board space allows larger package and external reference design is already established. |
| MAX1167BCAP+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal reference; SPI interface; 20-pin TSSOP; lower power (35mW). | Serial interface replaces parallel bus - reduces pin count but increases host processor overhead and latency. | Select for space-constrained designs where SPI integration simplifies routing and reduces FPGA I/O usage. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF?
The LTC1279ISW#TRPBF is an Industrial-grade part rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all DC and AC specifications unless otherwise noted. The device features internal thermal protection and maintains ±1LSB INL/DNL across this full range.
Does the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF does not require an external clock. It contains an internally trimmed oscillator synchronized automatically to each CONVST falling edge, eliminating clock routing noise and simplifying system design. The typical conversion time is fixed at 1.4µs, enabling deterministic timing without external timing components.
Can the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF operate in both unipolar and bipolar modes?
Yes, the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF supports both modes: unipolar (0V to 5V input) with AVDD = DVDD = 5V and VSS tied to AGND; bipolar (±2.5V input) with AVDD = DVDD = 5V and VSS = –5V. The input range, offset error, and reference behavior are explicitly specified for both configurations in the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF?
The SHDN pin on the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF is an active-low power shutdown control. When pulled low, it reduces supply current to 1.7mA and power dissipation to 8.5mW. The device wakes up in 350ns, allowing rapid power cycling between conversions - ideal for battery-powered or thermally constrained high-throughput DAQ systems.
How is the reference voltage handled in the LTC1279ISW#TRPBF?
The LTC1279ISW#TRPBF integrates a factory-trimmed 2.42V bandgap reference available at VREF (Pin 2). It can be used as-is (with 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing) or overdriven externally between 2.45V and 4.8V to adjust input span in bipolar mode. Driving below 2.45V risks conflict with the internal reference and code loss.
