Product details
Overview
LTC1400IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 400ksps successive-approximation ADC with integrated sample-and-hold and precision 2.42V bandgap reference. It operates from single 5V or ±5V supplies, supports unipolar (0V–4.096V) and bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges, and features Nap (6mW) and Sleep (30μW) power modes - enabling high-speed data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation and portable test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1400IS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1400IS8#PBF pinout, LTC1400IS8#PBF application, or LTC1400IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes performance, ±1LSB INL/DNL over temperature, 70dB S/(N+D) at 100kHz, SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC1400IS8#PBF implements a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with internal zeroing switch and comparator offset nulling. Its sample-and-hold acquires analog signals in ≤230ns (unipolar) or ≤200ns (bipolar), followed by bit-by-bit conversion synchronized to an external 6.4MHz clock.
It delivers deterministic timing: 2.1μs conversion time, 45–65ns aperture delay (jitter <50ps), and immediate wake-up from Nap mode in 350ns. The REFRDY bit in the serial output indicates internal reference settling after Sleep mode exit - critical for systems requiring guaranteed first-conversion validity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with guaranteed no missing codes over full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) |
| Sampling Rate | 400ksps maximum - supports real-time capture of signals up to 200kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| INL / DNL | ±1LSB over temperature - ensures monotonicity and linearity for precision measurement systems |
| S/(N + D) | 70dB at 100kHz input (industrial temp) - enables accurate spectral analysis in telecom and audio applications |
| THD | –76dB at 100kHz input - low distortion preserves signal fidelity in high-fidelity data acquisition |
| Power Modes | Nap mode: 6mW; Sleep mode: 30μW - extends battery life in handheld instruments without sacrificing wake-up latency |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to 4.096V (unipolar, 1mV/LSB) or ±2.048V (bipolar) - matches standard sensor and signal conditioning outputs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8), 150°C max junction temperature, θJA = 130°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 4.75V–5.25V; requires 10μF + 0.1μF bypass to GND for stable reference and analog performance |
| AIN (Pin 2) | Analog input | High-impedance node; accepts 0V–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar); draws ≤±1μA leakage during conversion |
| VREF (Pin 3) | Internal reference output | 2.42V ±20mV; supplies up to 1mA; REFRDY bit indicates readiness after Sleep wake-up |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Must connect directly to low-impedance analog ground plane; separates analog/digital return paths |
| DOUT (Pin 5) | Serial data output | 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible; tri-state Hi-Z when inactive; valid 40–80ns after CLK↑ |
| CLK (Pin 6) | Serial clock input | 0.1–6.4MHz; minimum 50ns pulse width; controls data shift-out timing and Nap/Sleep entry |
| CONV (Pin 7) | Conversion start trigger | Active-high edge initiates conversion; double-pulse enters Nap, quadruple-pulse enters Sleep mode |
| VSS (Pin 8) | Negative supply input | Required only for bipolar operation (–5.25V to –2.45V); tied to GND in unipolar mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated precision reference | 2.42V ±20mV, ±45ppm/°C drift, factory-trimmed bandgap with curvature correction |
| Flexible input configuration | Automatic unipolar/bipolar detection via VSS voltage level; eliminates manual mode selection |
| Low-latency power management | Nap mode wakes in 350ns with full accuracy; Sleep mode consumes only 30μW while retaining state |
| Robust analog input interface | ≤5pF hold-mode capacitance and ±1μA leakage enable direct connection to low-output-impedance op amps (e.g., LT1363) |
| Guaranteed AC performance | 70dB S/(N+D) and –76dB THD at 100kHz over full industrial temperature range - verified, not typical-only |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, serial-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, SPI interface, 2.7–5.25V supply; no internal reference; requires external REF | Lacks integrated reference and Nap/Sleep modes; lower sampling rate limits high-speed use cases | Choose when board space allows external reference and power budget permits higher active current |
| MAX1113ECUA+ | 12-bit, 100ksps, SPI, internal 2.048V reference; 2.7–3.6V supply only; no Sleep mode | Lower speed and narrower supply range; reference voltage differs (2.048V vs 2.42V), affecting full-scale scaling | Prefer for ultra-low-voltage (3.3V-only) designs where 100ksps suffices and reference flexibility is acceptable |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1113ECUA+, the LTC1400IS8#PBF provides higher throughput (400ksps), integrated 2.42V reference with REFRDY signaling, and dual low-power states - making it optimal for portable, high-accuracy, mixed-supply (5V/±5V) systems requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1400IS8#PBF?
The LTC1400IS8#PBF is rated for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. All key specifications - including ±1LSB INL/DNL, 70dB S/(N+D), and 30μW Sleep mode current - are guaranteed across this full range, unlike commercial-grade variants that specify only at 25°C.
Does the LTC1400IS8#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1400IS8#PBF includes a factory-trimmed, temperature-compensated 2.42V internal reference available at Pin 3 (VREF). This reference can drive up to 1mA and supports both unipolar and bipolar operation. External reference override is possible but not required for standard use of LTC1400IS8#PBF.
How does the Nap mode differ from Sleep mode in the LTC1400IS8#PBF?
Nap mode reduces power to 6mW while allowing immediate (350ns) wake-up and conversion; Sleep mode cuts consumption to 30μW but requires reference re-stabilization - signaled by the REFRDY bit in the serial output - before valid conversion. Both modes are entered via CONV pin pulsing per the LTC1400IS8#PBF timing diagram.
Can the LTC1400IS8#PBF operate from a single 5V supply in bipolar mode?
No. Bipolar operation of the LTC1400IS8#PBF requires separate ±5V supplies (VCC = +5V, VSS = –5V) to support the ±2.048V input range. Unipolar mode (0V–4.096V) functions correctly with only a single 5V supply and VSS tied to GND - a key distinction confirmed in the LTC1400IS8#PBF absolute maximum ratings and functional description.
Is the LTC1400IS8#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1400 family?
Yes, all LTC1400 variants - including LTC1400CS8, LTC1400IS8, and LTC1400HS8 - share identical SO-8 pinout, electrical interface, and timing behavior. The LTC1400IS8#PBF differs only in its industrial-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C) and part marking; no PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from commercial-grade versions.
