Product details
Overview
LTC1408CUH#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 6-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter with 600ksps aggregate sampling rate and 100ksps per-channel throughput. It operates from a single 3V supply, draws only 5mA active current, and delivers 76dB SINAD at 100kHz input. Its 90dB common-mode rejection and rail-to-rail differential input support enable high-accuracy multiphase power measurement in portable industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1408CUH#PBF datasheet, LTC1408CUH#PBF pinout, LTC1408CUH#PBF application, or LTC1408CUH#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous sampling integrity, 6µW SLEEP mode power, 32-pin 5mm × 5mm QFN package thermal performance, bipolar/unipolar input range configurability via BIP pin, and 3-wire serial interface timing compliance with 96-clock output framing.
Technical Context
The LTC1408CUH#PBF implements six independent sample-and-hold circuits triggered synchronously on the rising edge of CONV, enabling true simultaneous acquisition across all channels before sequential 14-bit conversion at 100ksps per channel. Its internal 2.5V bandgap reference (±15ppm/°C tempco) supports unipolar 0V–2.5V or bipolar ±1.25V differential input ranges, selectable via the BIP pin.
Conversion sequencing is controlled by SEL2/SEL1/SEL0, allowing dynamic selection of 1–6 active channels without reconfiguration overhead. The 3-wire serial interface outputs MSB-first 14-bit words for each enabled channel in fixed 96-clock cycles, with SDO three-state control and OVDD-supplied logic level shifting for mixed-voltage system interfacing.

Pinout & Package
The LTC1408CUH#PBF is housed in a 32-pin plastic QFN package (5mm × 5mm) with an exposed GND pad (Pin 33) requiring soldering to the PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0+ to CH5+ | Non-inverting analog inputs (6 pairs) | Differential input terminals accepting rail-to-rail common-mode voltage (0V to VDD) with ±1.25V or 0V–2.5V differential swing. |
| CH0– to CH5– | Inverting analog inputs (6 pairs) | Paired with corresponding CHx+ pins; defines differential input voltage and enables common-mode noise rejection. |
| CONV (Pin 30) | Convert start trigger | Rising-edge synchronous sampling command; two pulses enter NAP mode, four+ pulses enter SLEEP mode. |
| SEL2/SEL1/SEL0 (Pins 26–28) | Channel count selector | 3-bit binary control selecting 1–6 active channels per conversion cycle; must remain static during conversion and readout. |
| BIP (Pin 29) | Bipolar/unipolar mode select | Logic-high enables ±1.25V bipolar input range (2's complement output); logic-low enables 0V–2.5V unipolar range (straight binary). |
| SDO (Pin 1) | Serial data output | Three-state MSB-first output delivering six 14-bit words in 96-clock frames; level-shifted by OVDD supply. |
| SCK (Pin 32) | Serial clock input | Drives conversion sequencing and data output timing; 16 clocks per enabled channel, up to 96 total. |
| VREF (Pin 23) | Internal 2.5V reference output | Internally generated reference with 10µF bypass requirement; overridable by external 2.55V–VDD reference for improved accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling architecture | Six independent S/H circuits ensure zero inter-channel aperture skew (<200ps), critical for phase-accurate multiphase current/voltage monitoring. |
| Configurable input range | BIP pin selects unipolar (0V–2.5V) or bipolar (±1.25V) differential input, enabling flexible sensor interface without external level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low-power shutdown modes | SLEEP mode draws only 6µW (2.0–15µA), reducing standby power by >99.8% versus active mode-ideal for energy-constrained portable instrumentation. |
| Integrated 2.5V reference | On-chip bandgap reference with ±15ppm/°C tempco and 2ms wake-up settling time supports self-contained operation without external reference components. |
| Flexible serial interface | 3-wire SDO/SCK/CONV protocol with OVDD-level shifting allows direct connection to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic families without level translators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8588SIPM | 8-channel, 16-bit, 100ksps/channel, SPI interface, 5V supply required | Higher resolution but lower sampling rate and no SLEEP mode; requires external reference and higher supply voltage | Preferred when 16-bit resolution and 8-channel count outweigh power and voltage constraints |
| AD7606C-18 | 8-channel, 18-bit, 1MSPS aggregate, parallel + SPI interface, 5V analog/3.3V digital supply | Higher speed and resolution but larger 64-lead LQFP package and 125mW active power | Selected for high-throughput industrial PLCs where board space and power budget allow |
Compared with ADS8588SIPM and AD7606C-18, the LTC1408CUH#PBF offers the lowest active and sleep power in a compact QFN, making it optimal for portable, battery-sensitive designs requiring 14-bit precision and true simultaneity-but trades off resolution and channel count for efficiency and integration.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1408CUH#PBF?
The LTC1408CUH#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). This range is validated across all key specifications including integral linearity error (±0.5 LSB), offset error (±1 mV), and SINAD (76 dB at 100 kHz), ensuring consistent performance in indoor industrial and test equipment environments where thermal management is moderate.
How does the BIP pin affect output data format in the LTC1408CUH#PBF?
When BIP = HIGH, the LTC1408CUH#PBF configures for ±1.25V bipolar differential input and outputs data in 2's complement format; when BIP = LOW, it configures for 0V–2.5V unipolar input and outputs straight binary. The BIP state must be held constant during conversion and readout-changing it mid-sequence invalidates prior data and requires full acquisition time before next valid conversion.
Can the LTC1408CUH#PBF operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1408CUH#PBF accepts an external reference between 2.55V and VDD applied to the VREF pin, overriding the internal 2.5V bandgap. External referencing improves absolute accuracy and reduces tempco to ±1 ppm/°C, but requires careful decoupling (10µF + 0.1µF) and stable source impedance <1Ω to avoid settling errors affecting 14-bit linearity.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full 14-bit accuracy in the LTC1408CUH#PBF?
The LTC1408CUH#PBF specifies 39 ns typical acquisition time (tACQ) for full 14-bit accuracy at maximum throughput. This assumes low-source-impedance driving (<100Ω); higher impedances increase tACQ linearly-e.g., 1kΩ source requires ~390 ns. Buffer amplifiers with >40MHz closed-loop bandwidth and low output impedance are recommended for high-Z sensors.
How many clock cycles are needed to read all six channels from the LTC1408CUH#PBF?
The LTC1408CUH#PBF requires exactly 96 SCK cycles to output all six 14-bit conversion results in MSB-first order (CH0 first, CH5 last). Each channel consumes 16 clocks, regardless of SELx configuration-unused channels output zero-filled or undefined data, but the full 96-cycle frame remains fixed for timing predictability in deterministic real-time systems.
