Product details
Overview
LTC1290BISW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 8-channel serial-output sampling data acquisition system with integrated sample-and-hold, multiplexer, and successive approximation ADC. It supports single-ended or differential inputs, ±5V common-mode range, 50kHz max throughput, and operates from single 5V or dual ±5V supplies. It is used in industrial sensor monitoring systems requiring precise analog front-end digitization with microprocessor serial interface.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1290BISW#PBF datasheet, LTC1290BISW#PBF pinout, LTC1290BISW#PBF application, or LTC1290BISW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes resolution, software-programmable unipolar/bipolar mode, MSB/LSB-first data sequencing, 12µs max conversion time over temperature, and compatibility with MICROWIRE/SPI-style four-wire serial interfaces.
Technical Context
The LTC1290BISW#PBF implements an LTCMOS switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip 8:1 analog multiplexer and track-and-hold for all single-ended channels. Its serial interface uses independent ACLK (for conversion timing) and SCLK (for data transfer), enabling asynchronous control of sampling and communication.
It supports configurable input topology per channel-four differential pairs or eight single-ended inputs referenced to COM-with programmable word length (8/12/16 bits), power shutdown via WL1/WL0 bits, and deglitched CS input that requires two ACLK falling edges for recognition to suppress noise-induced spurious conversions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit unipolar or 11-bit + sign bipolar; guarantees no missing codes across full range. |
| Input Channels | 8 analog inputs (CH0–CH7); configurable as four differential pairs or eight single-ended with COM reference. |
| Throughput Rate | 50kHz maximum; enables 20µs minimum cycle time for real-time sensor sampling. |
| Conversion Time | 13µs maximum over full temperature range; ensures deterministic timing for closed-loop control. |
| Supply Current | 6.0mA typical at VCC = 5V; drops to 5–15µA in power shutdown mode for battery-sensitive designs. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic SO wide (SW), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount, 7.6mm × 12.8mm body, 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 (Pins 1–8) | Analog Input Channels | Eight configurable analog inputs; support single-ended (vs. COM) or differential (pairwise) acquisition. |
| COM (Pin 9) | Common Reference | Zero-reference node for all single-ended measurements; must be low-noise and tied to analog ground plane. |
| DGND (Pin 10) | Digital Ground | Return path for internal logic; separate from AGND to prevent digital noise coupling into analog path. |
| AGND (Pin 11) | Analog Ground | Primary analog reference return; requires star-point connection to minimize offset drift and noise. |
| V– (Pin 12) | Negative Supply | Supports bipolar operation down to –6V; tied to ground in single-supply 0V–5V configurations. |
| REF+, REF– (Pins 13–14) | Reference Inputs | Accept external 5V reference or internal scaling; diode-clamped to V– and VCC for overvoltage protection. |
| CS (Pin 15) | Chip Select | Active-low enable; includes deglitching circuit requiring two ACLK falling edges before response. |
| DOUT (Pin 16) | Serial Data Output | Three-state output; goes Hi-Z when CS high; outputs conversion result LSB-first or MSB-first per configuration. |
| DIN (Pin 17) | Serial Data Input | Receives 8-bit configuration word (MUX address, UNI, MSBF, WL1/WL0) on first eight SCLK rising edges. |
| SCLK (Pin 18) | Shift Clock | Synchronizes serial I/O; data latched on rising edge, shifted out on falling edge (full-duplex). |
| ACLK (Pin 19) | A/D Conversion Clock | Independent clock controlling SAR conversion timing; min 15kHz at 25°C, ≥125kHz at 85°C recommended. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Positive Supply | 4.5V to 5.5V operation; requires local 1µF+ bypass capacitor to AGND for stable reference and sampling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input mode | Select unipolar/bipolar, single-ended/differential, and MSB/LSB-first output dynamically via serial command. |
| Integrated sample-and-hold | On-chip S/H eliminates need for external hold capacitor; supports 0.02% acquisition in ≤10µs with 1kΩ source. |
| Four-wire serial interface | Direct hardware compatibility with MICROWIRE, SPI, and parallel-port bit-banged MPU interfaces-no glue logic required. |
| Power shutdown mode | Reduces ICC to <15µA by setting WL1=0/WL0=1; resumes conversion automatically on next CS assertion. |
| Overvoltage protected inputs | ±15V fault tolerance on any channel (with current limiting); prevents damage during sensor disconnect or ESD events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit serial-output data acquisition applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, SPI-only interface, no built-in S/H, requires external reference. | Higher speed but lacks integrated sample-and-hold and differential MUX flexibility. | Choose for higher throughput where external S/H is acceptable and board space allows discrete components. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed resolution and linearity performance of the LTC1290BISW#PBF over temperature?
The LTC1290BISW#PBF guarantees 12-bit resolution with no missing codes across its full operating range. Its integral nonlinearity (INL) is specified at ±0.5 LSB (typical) and ±0.75 LSB (max) over –40°C to +85°C. Offset error is ±1.5 LSB max, and gain error is ±1.0 LSB typical - all tested and characterized for the 'B' grade Industrial temperature version. These parameters ensure consistent accuracy in demanding environments without recalibration.
Does the LTC1290BISW#PBF require an external reference voltage, or can it operate with an internal reference?
The LTC1290BISW#PBF does not include an internal reference; it requires an external reference applied between REF+ and REF– pins. The device supports reference voltages from 1V to 5V, with optimal performance at 5V. Reference current draw is 10–50µA. For systems requiring internal referencing, an external precision reference such as LT1027 or REF5050 must be used - the LTC1290BISW#PBF itself provides no onboard reference generation.
How does the power shutdown feature work on the LTC1290BISW#PBF, and what is the recovery time?
Power shutdown on the LTC1290BISW#PBF is activated by setting WL1=0 and WL0=1 in the DIN configuration word. This reduces supply current to 5–15µA. Recovery occurs automatically on the next CS assertion - no additional command is needed. The first conversion after wake-up completes in the standard tCONV time (≤13µs), and the result appears on DOUT in the subsequent data cycle. No reset sequence or delay is required beyond normal serial timing.
Can the LTC1290BISW#PBF interface directly with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi GPIO without level-shifting?
Yes - the LTC1290BISW#PBF operates at 5V logic levels (VIH = 2.0V min, VOL = 0.4V max at 1.6mA) and is compatible with 5V-tolerant Arduino Uno/Nano GPIOs. For 3.3V Raspberry Pi, level-shifting is required on DIN, CS, and SCLK inputs (since VIH = 2.0V min but VIL = 0.8V max), while DOUT may be safely read via series resistor (3.3V-tolerant input). Direct connection without translation risks unreliable communication on Pi platforms.
What is the maximum source impedance supported for accurate 12-bit acquisition on the LTC1290BISW#PBF?
The LTC1290BISW#PBF supports ≤1kΩ source impedance for full 12-bit accuracy (0.02% acquisition error) at 25°C, as verified in TPC11. At 85°C, thermal leakage increases; for reliable 12-bit performance across temperature, keep source resistance ≤300Ω or increase ACLK frequency to ≥125kHz to reduce S/H droop. External RC filters must use RFILTER ≤10kΩ (per TPC10) to avoid >0.1 LSB full-scale error.
