Product details
Overview
LTC1404CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 600ksps successive-approximation ADC in SO-8 package, operating from single 5V or ±5V supplies. It integrates a 160ns sample-and-hold, precision 2.43V internal reference, and 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. Designed for high-speed data acquisition in portable instrumentation and telecom signal processing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1404CS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1404CS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1404CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar/bipolar mode flexibility, 75mW typical power at full speed, Nap/Sleep low-power states, guaranteed no missing codes over temperature, and ±1LSB INL/DNL accuracy.
Technical Context
The LTC1404CS8#TRPBF uses a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with internal zeroing switch and comparator offset nulling during acquisition. Its 12-bit SAR register drives serial output via DOUT synchronized to CLK, with conversion initiated by rising edge on CONV.
It supports dual operation modes: unipolar (0V–4.096V input, 1mV/LSB) and automatic bipolar (±2.048V, two's complement) triggered by VSS < GND. Reference settling after Sleep mode is signaled by REFRDY bit in serial word, and VREF can be overdriven externally for span adjustment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with guaranteed no missing codes over temperature - ensures monotonicity in closed-loop control and precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 600ksps maximum - supports Nyquist-limited signal capture up to 300kHz with 72dB S/(N+D) performance. |
| Power Dissipation | 75mW typical at 600ksps; 7.5mW in Nap mode; 60µW in Sleep mode - enables battery-powered handheld instruments. |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to 4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar) - matches standard sensor outputs and differential signal chains. |
| DC Accuracy | ±1LSB integral and differential nonlinearity - meets requirements for 12-bit system calibration without software correction. |
| Reference Output | 2.43V ±10ppm/°C tempco, 1mA drive capability - provides stable scaling for external circuitry without additional voltage references. |
| Serial Interface | 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible (CONV, CLK, DOUT) - simplifies connection to microcontrollers and DSPs with minimal GPIO usage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8), 150 mil width, JEDEC MS-012AC, θJA = 130°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply rail | 4.75V–5.25V for unipolar; 4.75V–5.25V per rail in bipolar - requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypass to GND for noise-sensitive analog operation. |
| AIN (Pin 2) | Analog input node | High-impedance input (5pF hold capacitance) accepting 0–4.096V or ±2.048V - driven by op amps settling within 160ns (e.g., LT1363). |
| VREF (Pin 3) | Internal reference output | 2.43V bandgap reference with 1mA sink/source capability - decoupling mandatory; can be overdriven ≥2.46V for bipolar span adjustment. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Must connect directly to low-impedance analog ground plane - separates digital return paths to minimize sampling noise coupling. |
| DOUT (Pin 5) | Serial data output | 3-state CMOS output delivering 12-bit result LSB-first - Hi-Z when not active; timing referenced to CLK edge (t8 = 40–70ns valid delay). |
| VSS (Pin 8) | Negative supply rail | –5.25V to –2.45V for bipolar operation; tied to GND for unipolar - enables automatic mode detection and dual-rail dynamic range. |
| CONV (Pin 7) | Conversion start/control | Rising-edge-triggered; double pulse enters Nap mode, quadruple pulse enters Sleep mode - controls power state transitions without external logic. |
| CLK (Pin 6) | Serial clock input | 0.1–9.6MHz CMOS-compatible clock - minimum 40ns pulse width required to wake from Nap/Sleep and synchronize DOUT bit shifts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated sample-and-hold | 160ns acquisition time in bipolar mode - eliminates need for external SHAs in high-speed data loggers. |
| Auto-detect bipolar/unipolar mode | VSS voltage level triggers internal configuration - reduces BOM count and PCB layout complexity for multi-range systems. |
| REFRDY status bit | Embedded in serial data word after Sleep wake-up - enables deterministic timing for first valid conversion without polling or fixed delays. |
| Low-leakage analog input | ±1µA max leakage during conversion - preserves accuracy when interfacing high-output-impedance sensors or passive filters. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant digital I/O | Inputs withstand –0.3V to 12V; outputs drive ±10mA - simplifies level-shifting in mixed-voltage microcontroller interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, medium-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, single-supply only, no internal reference, SPI-only interface | Lacks bipolar mode, lower speed, requires external reference - suitable for cost-sensitive unipolar-only systems | Choose for simpler supply architecture where 200ksps suffices and external reference is acceptable. |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal reference, pseudo-differential input, 10-pin µMAX | Smaller package, lower power (35mW), but no true bipolar mode or Nap/Sleep states | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing moderate speed and lowest active power, but not requiring dual-rail operation. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11131ETE+, the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF uniquely combines 600ksps speed, integrated bipolar/unipolar detection, ultra-low Sleep-mode power (60µW), and factory-trimmed 2.43V reference - making it optimal for portable, multi-range, battery-critical instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1404CS8#TRPBF is specified for commercial temperature range: 0°C to 70°C. This is indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. For extended industrial operation (–40°C to 85°C), the LTC1404IS8 variant is available. All DC and AC specifications-including ±1LSB INL/DNL, 69dB S/(N+D), and 600ksps sampling-are guaranteed across this full range.
How does the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF enter and exit Nap and Sleep modes?
The LTC1404CS8#TRPBF enters Nap mode with two consecutive pulses on the CONV pin, and Sleep mode with four pulses. Wake-up is triggered by any CLK pulse: Nap mode resumes conversion immediately (<350ns wake time), while Sleep mode requires reference stabilization-indicated by the REFRDY bit in the first serial data word. No external control logic is needed.
Can the internal reference of the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF be disabled or replaced?
The internal 2.43V reference of the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF cannot be disabled, but it can be overdriven externally via the VREF pin. To use an external reference, drive VREF to ≥2.46V (e.g., LT1019A-5) - this disables the internal reference and sets full-scale span accordingly. Driving below 2.43V forces REFRDY low and invalidates conversions.
What is the minimum acquisition time for the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF in unipolar mode?
The minimum acquisition time for the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF in unipolar mode is 200ns, measured from CLK edge to valid sample mode. This timing allows use with fast-settling op amps like the LT1363 (60ns to 0.5LSB). In bipolar mode (VSS = –5V), acquisition time reduces to 160ns due to optimized internal charge redistribution.
Does the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF support daisy-chained serial communication?
No, the LTC1404CS8#TRPBF does not support daisy-chaining. Its 3-wire interface (CONV, CLK, DOUT) is point-to-point only. DOUT is a single-ended, CMOS-compatible output that goes Hi-Z when inactive. Multiple LTC1404CS8#TRPBF devices require individual DOUT lines or external multiplexing - no native serial chaining or CS/SS pin is provided.
