Product details
Overview
LTC1408IUH-12 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 6-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter with 600ksps aggregate throughput and 100ksps per channel. It operates from a single 3V supply, draws only 5mA active current, and features 83dB common-mode rejection for noise-immune differential sensing in multiphase power and motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1408IUH-12 datasheet, LTC1408IUH-12 pinout, LTC1408IUH-12 application, or LTC1408IUH-12 equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous sampling integrity, rail-to-rail differential input support (0–2.5V unipolar or ±1.25V bipolar), 72dB SINAD at 100kHz, SLEEP mode (6µW), and QFN-32 (5mm × 5mm) package compatibility with high-density portable designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1408IUH-12 integrates six independent sample-and-hold circuits triggered synchronously on the rising edge of the CONV signal, enabling true simultaneous acquisition across all channels. Its internal 2.5V bandgap reference supports overdrive with external references up to VDD, and BIP pin selection configures output data format (straight binary or 2's complement) and input range polarity.
Conversion sequencing is controlled by SEL2/SEL1/SEL0, allowing dynamic selection of 1–6 channels per conversion cycle (96 SCLK max). The 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface outputs 12-bit words MSB-first in 96 clock cycles, with SDO tri-state capability and OVDD-supplied level-shifting for mixed-voltage system interfacing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8588SIRTVR | 8-channel, 16-bit, 100ksps/ch, SPI interface, 5V supply, 10.5mW active power | Higher resolution and channel count but lower sampling speed per channel and higher supply voltage requirement | Preferred when 16-bit precision and 8-channel density outweigh 3V operation and ultra-low sleep power needs |
| AD7606C-18 | 8-channel, 18-bit, 1MSPS aggregate, parallel/SPI interface, ±5V/±15V analog supply options | Higher resolution, faster aggregate rate, dual-supply flexibility, but larger LQFP-64 package and no sub-mW sleep mode | Selected for high-accuracy test equipment where 18-bit linearity and wide input range justify increased size and power |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1408IUH-12?
The LTC1408IUH-12 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed by its "I" grade designation in the part number and specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device maintains full performance-including 12-bit linearity, 72dB SINAD, and 83dB CMRR-across this entire range when powered from 2.7V–3.6V supplies and properly decoupled.
How does the LTC1408IUH-12 achieve simultaneous sampling across six channels?
The LTC1408IUH-12 achieves true simultaneous sampling using six independent sample-and-hold (S&H) circuits, each dedicated to one differential input pair (CH0–CH5). All six S&H units are triggered by the same rising edge of the CONV signal, capturing analog values at precisely the same instant. This architecture eliminates time skew between channels, ensuring phase-coherent acquisition essential for power and motor control algorithms.
Can the LTC1408IUH-12 use an external reference, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the LTC1408IUH-12 supports external reference input at the VREF pin (Pin 23). The valid external reference range is 2.55V to VDD (up to 3.6V). When an external reference is applied, the internal 2.5V bandgap is overridden. This allows improved accuracy, lower tempco (±1ppm/°C vs. ±15ppm/°C), and better long-term stability compared to the internal reference-critical for metrology-grade applications.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full-speed operation of the LTC1408IUH-12?
The minimum sample-and-hold acquisition time for the LTC1408IUH-12 is 39ns under full-speed conditions (600ksps aggregate). This value is guaranteed over temperature and supply voltage (2.7V–3.6V) and is defined as the time needed for the internal capacitors to settle after the CONV edge. External driving circuitry must allow at least this interval before the next CONV pulse to maintain 12-bit accuracy and 72dB SINAD performance.
How does the SEL2/SEL1/SEL0 configuration affect conversion throughput in the LTC1408IUH-12?
The SEL2/SEL1/SEL0 pins configure the number of channels converted per cycle: 000 = 1 channel (CH0 only), 001 = 2 channels (CH0–CH1), up to 101/110/111 = all 6 channels. Each enabled channel requires 16 SCLK cycles, so total conversion time scales linearly (e.g., 3 channels = 48 SCLK, enabling ~200ksps per channel). This lets firmware dynamically optimize throughput versus processing overhead without hardware changes.
