Product details
Overview
LTC1404IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired 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 front-ends, it delivers ±1LSB INL/DNL, 69dB S/(N+D) at 100kHz, and supports unipolar (0–4.096V) or bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1404IS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1404IS8#PBF pinout, LTC1404IS8#PBF application, or LTC1404IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes over temperature, Nap/Sleep power modes (7.5mW / 60µW), REFREADY signaling after Sleep wake-up, and SO-8 footprint compatibility with legacy 12-bit sampling ADCs.
Technical Context
The LTC1404IS8#PBF employs a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with internal zeroing switch and comparator offset nulling during acquisition. Its sample-and-hold acquires analog inputs in 160ns (bipolar) or 200ns (unipolar), followed by bit-by-bit comparison synchronized to an external 9.6MHz clock.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CONV; the 12-bit result shifts out MSB-first on DOUT with timing-critical setup/hold relative to CLK. The internal 2.43V reference is curvature-compensated and factory-trimmed, providing ≤45ppm/°C full-scale drift and supporting external overdrive for span adjustment in bipolar mode.
Key Specifications

| DOUT (Pin 5) | Serial data output | MSB-first 12-bit result; Hi-Z when inactive; REFREADY bit included in data word after Sleep wake-up |
| CONV (Pin 7) | Conversion start input | Rising-edge triggered; double pulse enters Nap mode, quadruple pulse enters Sleep mode |
| CLK (Pin 6) | Serial clock input | 0.1–9.6MHz; 40ns minimum pulse width; wakes device from Nap/Sleep on active edge |
| VSS (Pin 8) | Negative supply input | –5.25V to –2.45V for bipolar operation; tied to GND for unipolar - requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypass |

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 | 2.7–5.25V supply; 200ksps max; SPI-only interface; no internal reference | Requires external reference and level-shifting for ±5V systems; lower power but reduced speed | Select for ultra-low-power battery systems where 200ksps suffices and external reference is acceptable |
| MAX1113ECUA+ | Single 2.7–3.6V supply; 100ksps; internal 2.048V reference; µMAX-8 package | Not compatible with 5V or bipolar operation; smaller footprint but lower performance at high frequencies | Select for space-constrained 3.3V embedded systems needing basic 12-bit conversion without bipolar support |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1113ECUA+, the LTC1404IS8#PBF uniquely combines 600ksps throughput, integrated 2.43V reference, bipolar/unipolar auto-detection, and dual-supply flexibility - making it optimal for mixed-signal test equipment and telecom infrastructure where speed, accuracy, and supply versatility are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1404IS8#PBF?
The LTC1404IS8#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature (Industrial grade). This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all key AC/DC specifications including INL, DNL, S/(N+D), and THD - ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments without derating.
Does the LTC1404IS8#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1404IS8#PBF includes a factory-trimmed, temperature-compensated 2.43V internal reference available at Pin 3 (VREF). It can drive up to 1mA and supports external overdrive for bipolar span adjustment. An external reference is optional - used only when higher initial accuracy or lower drift than ±45ppm/°C is required.
How does the Nap mode function on the LTC1404IS8#PBF?
The LTC1404IS8#PBF enters Nap mode upon receiving two consecutive CONV pulses while CLK is low. In Nap mode, supply current drops to 1.3–3.0mA (7.5mW), and the device wakes instantly on the next CLK edge to begin conversion - eliminating wake-up latency. This mode is ideal for burst-mode acquisition synchronized to external triggers.
Can the LTC1404IS8#PBF operate with only a single 5V supply?
Yes, the LTC1404IS8#PBF supports true unipolar operation with only a single 5V supply (VCC = 4.75–5.25V, VSS = GND). In this configuration, it digitizes 0V to 4.096V analog inputs with 1mV/LSB resolution. VSS must be tied to GND, and the internal circuitry automatically configures for unipolar mode without additional control signals.
What is the purpose of the REFRDY bit in the LTC1404IS8#PBF serial output?
The REFRDY bit is the MSB of the 12-bit serial data word output on DOUT. It is asserted high only after the internal reference has settled following exit from Sleep mode - indicating the device is ready for valid conversion. This eliminates need for fixed delay timers and enables deterministic synchronization in low-power wake-up sequences.
