Product details
Overview
LTC1298IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a micropower, 12-bit successive approximation ADC with integrated sample-and-hold and software-selectable 2-channel analog multiplexer. It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V supply, draws 360µA typical supply current at 11.1 ksps sampling rate, and auto-shuts down to 1nA when idle. It interfaces via SPI/Microwire-compatible 4-wire serial interface and targets battery-powered remote data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1298IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1298IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1298IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-channel MUX capability, guaranteed ±3/4 LSB DNL, 60µs conversion time, differential or single-ended input configuration, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded sensor nodes.
Technical Context
The LTC1298IS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold and a configurable 2-channel analog multiplexer. Its serial interface requires a start bit followed by a 3-bit configuration word (SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, MSBF) before outputting the 12-bit result MSB-first.
It supports both single-ended (CH0–GND or CH1–GND) and differential (CH0–CH1 or CH1–CH0) measurement modes, with reference tied internally to VCC/VREF pin. Conversion timing is clock-synchronized: tCONV = 12 CLK cycles, tCYC = 90µs at 200kHz clock, and tSMPL = 1.5 CLK cycles for analog acquisition.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS/SHDN (Pin 1) | Chip Select / Shutdown Control | Active-low enable; logic high forces full shutdown (1nA ICC), enabling ultra-low-power sleep states. |
| CH0 (Pin 2) | Analog Input Channel 0 | Positive input for single-ended or differential mode; high-impedance (>5 MΩ) minimizes loading on resistive sensors. |
| CH1 (Pin 3) | Analog Input Channel 1 | Second analog input; selectable as negative terminal in differential mode or independent single-ended channel. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground Reference | Must connect directly to low-noise analog ground plane to maintain 71 dB SNR and prevent digital coupling. |
| DIN (Pin 5) | Serial Data Input | Receives 3-bit MUX configuration word (start bit + SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, MSBF); sampled on rising CLK edge. |
| DOUT (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | Outputs 12-bit conversion result MSB-first after one null bit; tri-state when CS high. |
| CLK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes all data transfers; supports up to 200 kHz clock for 11.1 ksps operation at 5V supply. |
| VCC/VREF (Pin 8) | Power Supply & Reference Voltage | Single-pin dual function: powers internal circuitry and defines full-scale range (0V to VCC); bypass with 4.7µF capacitor required. |

Applications
| Battery Monitoring | Temperature Measurement |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Measuring cell voltage and pack current in portable medical devices or wearables using two separate resistive dividers or shunt amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel ADC samples voltage and current simultaneously or alternately; 11.1 ksps rate captures transient load events. Use Value: 12-bit resolution enables <10mV voltage resolution at 5V full scale, supporting precise state-of-charge estimation over battery lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Reading thermistor or RTD outputs in HVAC controllers or industrial process sensors with ambient temperature compensation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured for single-ended CH0 and CH1 reads to acquire sensor and reference junction temperatures in sequence. Use Value: ±3/4 LSB DNL ensures linearity across –40°C to +85°C, enabling accurate polynomial curve-fitting without per-unit calibration. |
| Remote Data Acquisition | Isolated Data Acquisition |
|
Use Scenario: Low-power sensor node collecting vibration, pressure, and humidity data in oil/gas field equipment powered by solar + LiSOCl₂ battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADC operates in burst mode-awakened by MCU, converts two channels, shuts down-minimizing average current draw. Use Value: 1nA shutdown current extends 10-year battery life; SOIC-8 footprint fits compact enclosure with RF module and energy harvester. |
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning stage downstream of digital isolators (e.g., ADuM5401) in motor drive current sensing where ground separation is mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Receives isolated clock and CS signals; outputs serial data back across isolation barrier via optocoupler or capacitive isolator. Use Value: 3-wire interface (CS, CLK, DIN/DOUT shared) reduces isolator channel count, lowering cost and propagation delay vs parallel ADCs. |
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 resolution, 200 ksps, SPI interface, 2.7–5.25V supply; no internal MUX or auto-shutdown. | Higher speed but lower resolution; lacks micropower shutdown and dual-channel flexibility. | Choose only if >100 ksps sampling is required and 8-bit accuracy suffices for cost-sensitive consumer applications. |
| MCP3202-I/P | 12-bit, dual-channel, SPI, 2.7–5.5V; 500 µA active current, no auto-shutdown, DIP-8 package. | Higher supply current prevents long-life battery use; through-hole package incompatible with automated SMT assembly. | Select when legacy through-hole prototyping is needed and shutdown current is not critical; avoid for production IoT designs. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MCP3202-I/P, the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF uniquely combines 12-bit precision, 2-channel MUX, sub-µA shutdown, and SOIC-8 packaging-making it the only option suitable for production-grade, battery-operated, space-constrained sensor nodes requiring guaranteed monotonicity and minimal BOM count.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1298IS8#TRPBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 11.1 ksps under specified conditions (VCC = 5V, fCLK = 200 kHz). This rate is fixed by internal timing architecture and cannot be exceeded without violating AC specifications such as SNR or DNL. At lower clock frequencies, the sampling rate scales linearly-for example, at 100 kHz clock, maximum rate is ~5.55 ksps.
Does the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF does not require an external reference. Its VCC/VREF pin serves as both power supply and reference source, establishing the full-scale input range from 0V to VCC. This eliminates external reference components and associated noise paths, simplifying design for cost- and space-sensitive applications.
Can the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF operate from a 3.3V supply?
No, the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF is specified for 4.5V to 5.5V operation only. Attempting to power it from 3.3V violates absolute maximum ratings and will result in undefined behavior, including failure to sample, incorrect code output, or permanent damage. For 3.3V systems, consider the pin-compatible LTC1298CS8 or alternate families like the LTC2305.
How does the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF handle differential input measurements?
The LTC1298IS8#TRPBF supports differential measurements between CH0 and CH1 via software configuration. When the SGL/DIFF bit is set to '0', the device measures CH0–CH1 or CH1–CH0 depending on the ODD/SIGN bit. This mode provides rejection of common-mode noise and enables precise measurement of small signals superimposed on large DC offsets.
What is the purpose of the DIN pin on the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF?
The DIN pin on the LTC1298IS8#TRPBF receives a 3-bit configuration word (start bit + SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, MSBF) that selects input channel, measurement mode, and data format. This command is shifted in on rising CLK edges immediately after CS goes low and determines how the subsequent 12-bit conversion result is interpreted and output on DOUT.
