Product details
Overview
LTC1392CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower 10-bit data acquisition IC integrating ambient temperature sensing, on-chip power supply voltage monitoring, and rail-to-rail differential voltage measurement. It delivers ±2°C initial temperature accuracy at 25°C, 10-bit resolution across all three measurement modes, and operates from 4.5V to 6V with 0.2µA idle current - ideal for battery-powered remote sensor nodes and embedded system health monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1392CS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1392CS8#PBF pinout, LTC1392CS8#PBF application, or LTC1392CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3-wire half-duplex serial interface timing (250kHz max clock), guaranteed ±4°C full-range temperature error (0°C to 70°C), differential input common-mode range (rail-to-rail), low-power sampling architecture, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy 8-pin layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC1392CS8#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with integrated bandgap reference (2.42V), sample-and-hold, analog multiplexer, and proprietary on-die temperature sensor. Its 3-wire serial interface uses falling-edge data transmission and rising-edge capture, supporting both MSB-first and LSB-first output formats via programmable MSBF bit.
Measurement mode is selected dynamically via 4-bit configuration word: temperature (±4°C over 0°C–70°C), VCC supply (4.5V–6V range), or differential voltage (1V or 0.5V full-scale). Conversion time is fixed at 10 clock cycles; analog input sample time requires 1.5 clock cycles. Self-heating is limited to ≤0.455°C in SO-8 package at maximum 700µA active current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit unipolar output for all measurement modes - enables 0.25°C temperature step resolution and 0.977mV/LSB for 1V differential range. |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±2°C at 25°C; ±4°C over full 0°C to 70°C operating range - meets industrial-grade thermal monitoring requirements without external calibration. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 6V - compatible with standard 5V logic systems and tolerant of typical regulator ripple and dropout. |
| Idle Supply Current | 0.2µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor applications; wake-up time from CS assertion is 10µs. |
| Differential Input Range | Rail-to-rail common-mode (–0.3V to VCC + 0.3V); selectable 1V or 0.5V full-scale - supports direct current-sense resistor interfacing with no level-shifting. |
| Serial Interface | 3-wire half-duplex (CS, CLK, DIN/DOUT); 250kHz max clock frequency - simplifies isolation barrier design and reduces GPIO count on host MCU. |
| Package | 8-lead SOIC (S8), 150-mil width - industry-standard footprint with θJA = 130°C/W, suitable for high-density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8), narrow body (0.150"), RoHS-compliant, lead-free (Pb-free) finish per #PBF suffix.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIN (Pin 1) | Digital input | Receives 4-bit configuration word (Start, SEL1, SEL0, MSBF) after CS fall; ignored once conversion starts. |
| DOUT (Pin 2) | Digital output | Transmits 10-bit result + null bit on falling CLK edges; tri-states when CS is high. |
| CLK (Pin 3) | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all data transfers; rising edge captures DIN, falling edge outputs DOUT; 150–350kHz operation. |
| CS (Pin 4) | Chip select input | Active-low enable; falling edge initiates conversion sequence; must remain low for entire transfer cycle. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog/digital ground | Single ground connection; must tie directly to low-impedance analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| +VIN (Pin 6) | Positive differential input | Accepts rail-to-rail common-mode signals; used with –VIN for differential voltage or grounded for single-ended VCC sensing. |
| –VIN (Pin 7) | Negative differential input | Completes differential pair; must be kept low-noise; enables current sensing via external RSENSE between +VIN and load. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive supply | 4.5V–6V input; requires local 1µF bypass capacitor to GND; noise sensitivity mandates clean layout near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated temperature sensor | On-die thermal transducer with linear output (°C = code/4 – 130); eliminates external thermistor and signal conditioning. |
| Triple-function measurement | Single IC measures ambient temperature, internal VCC, and external differential voltage - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Rail-to-rail differential input | Supports ±0.3V beyond supply rails; enables direct interface to current-sense resistors without op-amp buffers or level shifters. |
| Low-power serial interface | 3-wire half-duplex protocol minimizes isolation component count; DIN/DOUT can share one trace in isolated designs. |
| Programmable output format | MSB-first or LSB-first data ordering via MSBF bit - ensures seamless integration with diverse MCU serial peripherals (SPI, UART, GPIO bit-bang). |

|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1298CN8#PBF | 12-bit SAR ADC, no integrated temperature sensor, 3.3V/5V supply, higher 1.2mA active current | Requires external temperature sensor and reference; better resolution but higher power | Choose when higher voltage measurement precision is required and temperature is sensed separately. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1392CS8#PBF?
The LTC1392CS8#PBF is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to 70°C. Its temperature sensor achieves ±2°C accuracy at 25°C and ±4°C over this full range. Operation outside this range is not guaranteed and may increase error beyond datasheet limits. The device's junction temperature must not exceed 125°C under any condition.
How does the LTC1392CS8#PBF interface with an 8051 microcontroller?
The LTC1392CS8#PBF interfaces directly with 8051 parallel I/O ports using its 3-wire half-duplex serial protocol. Pins P1.2 (CS), P1.3 (CLK), and P1.4 (DIN/DOUT) connect to any three GPIOs; software bit-bangs the protocol per Figure 1 timing. No external level shifters or buffers are needed since VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0V/0.8V at 5V) match 8051 logic levels.
Can the LTC1392CS8#PBF measure negative temperatures?
Yes - the LTC1392CS8#PBF outputs a 10-bit unipolar code where 0x000 = –130.00°C and 0x3FF = +125.75°C. Equation °C = (Output Code)/4 – 130 applies across the full digital range. At 0°C, the expected code is 0x208 (520 decimal), confirmed by Table 2 in the datasheet.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the LTC1392CS8#PBF?
The LTC1392CS8#PBF supports a maximum clock frequency of 350kHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5V). At 250kHz, total cycle time is 74µs; conversion time remains fixed at 10 clock cycles regardless of frequency. Exceeding 350kHz risks timing violations in tWHCLK, tWLCLK, and tdDO parameters.
Does the LTC1392CS8#PBF require external components for basic operation?
Yes - the LTC1392CS8#PBF requires a 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to Pin 8. No external reference, oscillator, or filtering components are needed for core functionality. External sense resistors are only required when measuring differential voltage or current; temperature and VCC modes operate fully autonomously.
