Product details
Overview
LTC1403AIMSE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 2.8 Msps serial analog-to-digital converter with differential inputs, 3V single-supply operation, 80 dB common-mode rejection, and Sleep mode consuming only 10 µW - designed for high-speed portable data acquisition in automotive and communications systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC1403AIMSE#PBF pinout, LTC1403AIMSE#PBF application, or LTC1403AIMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed –40°C to +85°C operation, 10-lead MSOP package with exposed pad, 2.5 V internal reference (overdrivable), and 3-wire serial interface timing compatibility with standard microcontrollers.
Technical Context
The LTC1403AIMSE#PBF implements a fully differential sample-and-hold architecture with 13 pF input capacitance and 39 ns acquisition time, enabling accurate sampling of signals up to 50 MHz full-power bandwidth. Its internal 2.5 V bandgap reference features ±15 ppm/°C tempco and settles in 2 ms after Sleep wake-up.
Conversion is triggered on the rising edge of CONV; 14-bit output data appears on SDO over 16 SCK cycles, with timing validated for 50.4 MHz clock operation at full 2.8 Msps rate. Nap (3 mW) and Sleep (10 µW) shutdown modes are controlled via pulse-counting on CONV while SCK is held static.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (MSE) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11), JEDEC MO-187 variant; 3 mm × 3 mm footprint; 0.5 mm pitch; GND-exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AIN+ | Noninverting analog input | Differential input node; accepts 0 V to VDD common-mode voltage and contributes +2.5 V max differential swing relative to AIN–. |
| 2 AIN– | Inverting analog input | Differential input node; accepts 0 V to VDD common-mode voltage and contributes –2.5 V min differential swing relative to AIN+. |
| 3 VREF | Internal reference output | 2.5 V buffered bandgap reference; requires ≥10 µF bypass to GND; can be overdriven by external 2.55–VDD reference. |
| 4 GND | Analog/digital ground | Primary ground connection; ties to exposed pad (Pin 11); carries both analog return and digital output currents - must connect directly to solid ground plane. |
| 5 GND | Ground | Secondary ground pin; reduces impedance path for analog signal return and improves PSRR. |
| 6 GND | Ground | Third ground pin; enhances grounding integrity for high-frequency noise suppression. |
| 7 VDD | 3 V positive supply | Single power rail for entire device; requires local 10 µF + 0.1 µF bypass; supplies analog core and digital I/O simultaneously. |
| 8 SDO | Three-state serial data output | 14-bit MSB-first output; tri-stated when CONV inactive; timing referenced to SCK rising edge; compatible with SPI-compatible controllers. |
| 9 SCK | Serial clock input | TTL/3 V CMOS-compatible clock; advances conversion state machine and clocks out data; one pulse wakes from Sleep mode. |
| 10 CONV | Convert start input | Rising-edge-triggered command; initiates sample-and-hold and conversion; pulse count determines Nap/Sleep entry (2 or ≥4 pulses). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential input architecture | Enables 80 dB CMRR up to 1 MHz - rejects ground loops and common-mode noise without external instrumentation amplifiers. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF?
The LTC1403AIMSE#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation (I-grade), with full specification compliance across this industrial temperature range - including parameters such as offset error, gain error, SINAD, and CMRR. This makes the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF suitable for under-hood automotive sensors, factory-floor PLCs, and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient extremes are expected.
Does the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5 V internal bandgap reference (Pin 3) that is fully functional with proper 10 µF bypassing. However, the VREF pin can be overdriven with an external reference between 2.55 V and VDD if higher precision or different scaling is required - the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF automatically disables its internal reference when external voltage exceeds 2.55 V.
How does the Sleep mode work on the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF?
Sleep mode on the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF is activated by applying four or more CONV pulses while SCK is held static (high or low); power drops to 10 µW. Waking requires one SCK pulse, after which the internal 2.5 V reference settles in 2 ms before valid conversions resume. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF datasheet timing diagrams and shutdown mode tables.
What is the differential input voltage range of the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF?
The LTC1403AIMSE#PBF accepts a differential input voltage range of 0 V to 2.5 V (AIN+ – AIN–), with each input allowed to swing from ground to VDD (0 V to 3.6 V). If the differential difference exceeds 2.5 V, the output code saturates at 0x3FFF; if below 0 V, it saturates at 0x0000 - a hard-clamped unipolar transfer function confirmed in the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF converter characteristics table.
Is the LTC1403AIMSE#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC1403A series variants?
Yes, all LTC1403A variants - including LTC1403AIMSE#PBF, LTC1403ACMSE#PBF, and LTC1403AHMSE#PBF - share identical 10-lead MSOP (MSE) pinouts and electrical interfaces. The only differences are temperature grade (I = –40°C to +85°C), resolution (14-bit for all A-grade parts), and minor AC performance tolerances - allowing drop-in replacement within the same grade family.
