Product details
Overview
LTC1401IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a complete 12-bit, 200ksps successive-approximation ADC with integrated 1.2V reference, sample-and-hold, and 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 3V supply, delivers ±1LSB INL/DNL, 68dB S/(N+D) at 50kHz, and supports unipolar 0V–2.048V input range in SO-8 package for portable data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1401IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1401IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1401IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes over temperature, 350ns wake-up from Nap mode, REFRDY signal for reference readiness, and compatibility with low-power microcontrollers and DSPs requiring compact serial ADC interfaces.
Technical Context
The LTC1401IS8#TRPBF implements a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with internal 315ns sample-and-hold and factory-trimmed curvature-corrected bandgap reference. Its control logic synchronizes conversion start via CONV rising edge and serial output timing via CLK, delivering 12-bit data as REFRDY + 12-bit word on DOUT.
Power management includes three distinct low-power states: Nap mode (1.5mW, reference active), Sleep mode (19.5µW, reference and comparator disabled), and Shutdown mode (13.5µW, SHDN pin asserted). Reference wake-up time from Sleep/Shutdown is 3ms with 10µF bypass capacitor, signaled by REFRDY bit.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (#PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7–3.6V; requires 10µF + 0.1µF local bypass for noise-sensitive analog performance |
| AIN (Pin 2) | Analog input node | Unipolar 0V–2.048V range; high-impedance sample mode (45pF), low-leakage hold mode (±1µA) |
| VREF (Pin 3) | Internal reference output | 1.200V source capable of 1mA load; externally overdrivable to adjust full-scale span |
| 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 interface output; transmits REFRDY bit followed by 12-bit result on CLK rising edge |
| CLK (Pin 6) | Serial clock input | Accepts 0.1–3.2MHz; 60ns minimum pulse width; controls data timing and Nap/Sleep wake-up |
| CONV (Pin 7) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge initiated; two pulses (CLK low) enter Nap, four pulses enter Sleep mode |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Hardware shutdown control | Logic-low assertion disables internal circuitry and reduces current to 4.5–10µA |

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 | 200ksps, 12-bit, 2.7–5.25V supply, no internal reference, requires external REF | Higher supply flexibility but adds BOM cost and layout complexity for reference circuit | Select when operating above 3.6V or needing adjustable reference voltage |
| MAX1113ECUA+ | 250ksps, 12-bit, 2.7–3.6V, internal 2.048V reference, SPI-only interface (no MICROWIRE) | Faster sampling and identical reference voltage, but lacks MICROWIRE compatibility | Select when maximizing throughput and using SPI-only host controllers |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1401IS8#TRPBF is specified for –40°C to +85°C ambient operating temperature (Industrial grade). This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all DC and dynamic specifications unless otherwise noted. The device maintains ±1LSB INL/DNL and 68dB S/(N+D) across this full range, making it suitable for harsh-environment deployments.
Does the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF includes a factory-trimmed, temperature-compensated 1.200V internal reference available at Pin 3 (VREF). It can drive up to 1mA and supports external overdrive for input span adjustment. An external reference is optional only if higher accuracy, lower drift, or non-standard full-scale voltage is required - such as using an LT1634-1.25 to achieve 2.1338V full scale.
How does the REFRDY signal function in the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF?
The REFRDY signal is the first bit transmitted on the DOUT pin during each serial read cycle. It indicates whether the internal reference has settled after exiting Sleep or Shutdown mode. When REFRDY = 1, the reference is stable and the subsequent 12-bit data word is valid. This eliminates need for fixed delay timers and enables deterministic synchronization in time-critical systems using the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF.
What are the power consumption values for each low-power mode of the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF?
In active conversion mode at 200ksps, the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF draws 5–10mA (15mW typ). In Nap mode, supply current drops to 0.5–1.0mA (1.5mW typ); in Sleep mode, it is 6.5–15µA (19.5µW typ); and in Shutdown mode (SHDN = low), it falls to 4.5–10µA (13.5µW typ). All values are specified over the full temperature range and verified per the Power Requirements table.
Can the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF interface directly with a TMS320C50 DSP?
Yes, the LTC1401IS8#TRPBF is explicitly validated for interface with the TMS320C50 DSP using its TDM serial port, as shown in Typical Application TA04a. The 3-wire interface (CLK, CONV, DOUT) maps directly to TCLKX, TFSX, and TDR pins. Frame sync is generated from TFSX, and data is right-justified in the TRCV register - confirming seamless hardware-level compatibility without protocol translation.
