Product details
Overview
LTC1412CG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 3 Msps sampling analog-to-digital converter with differential input architecture, ±2.5 V bipolar input range, 72 dB S/(N + D) at 1.5 MHz, and no pipeline delay. It integrates a precision internal 2.5 V reference, 40 MHz full-power bandwidth sample-and-hold, and parallel 12-bit CMOS output drivers compatible with 3 V or 5 V logic. It is used in high-speed data acquisition systems requiring low distortion and direct coupling to precision op amps.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1412CG#PBF datasheet, LTC1412CG#PBF pinout, LTC1412CG#PBF application, or LTC1412CG#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its true differential input common-mode rejection (63 dB), ±0.35 LSB INL (typ), 240 ns conversion time, 28-pin SSOP package, and compatibility with FIFOs, DSPs, and microprocessors via BUSY/CONVST control interface.
Technical Context
The LTC1412CG#PBF employs a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an internal differential capacitive DAC and zeroing-switched sample-and-hold. Its analog front-end supports both single-ended (AIN– grounded) and fully differential input configurations up to 40 MHz bandwidth, with 63 dB common-mode rejection maintained across 1 kHz–1 MHz.
Digital interface uses asynchronous parallel output with three-state drivers, separate OVDD supply for logic-level flexibility, and dedicated CONVST/BUSY timing signals enabling deterministic throughput of 3 Msps. Internal reference operation eliminates external component dependency, while REFCOMP pin requires 10 µF bypassing for stability and noise performance.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 0.300-inch body width, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+ (1) | Positive analog input | Differential or single-ended input node; accepts ±2.5 V relative to AIN–; sampled simultaneously with AIN–. |
| AIN– (2) | Negative analog input | Common-mode reference for differential mode; may be grounded for single-ended use; enables ground-loop rejection. |
| VREF (3) | 2.5 V reference output | Internally generated, temperature-compensated bandgap voltage; buffered via 2 kΩ series resistor for external override capability. |
| REFCOMP (4) | Reference amplifier compensation | Must be bypassed to AGND with ≥10 µF capacitor; stabilizes internal reference amplifier and suppresses noise. |
| AGND (5) | Analog ground | Primary analog return path; must be isolated from DGND/OGND except at single-point star ground to minimize noise coupling. |
| D11–D0 (6–13, 15–18) | 12-bit parallel data outputs | Three-state CMOS outputs (MSB D11 to LSB D0); driven by OVDD-supplied buffers for 3 V or 5 V logic compatibility. |
| CONVST (23) | Conversion start trigger | Active-low edge-triggered input; initiates acquisition and conversion sequence; timing-critical for deterministic throughput. |
| CS (24) | Chip select enable | Enables CONVST recognition; must be low during conversion initiation; allows multiple ADCs on shared data bus. |
| BUSY (25) | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output signaling ongoing conversion; used for handshaking with FIFOs, DSPs, or microcontrollers. |
| VSS (26) | Negative supply rail | –5 V supply connection; requires local 10 µF ceramic bypass to AGND; clamped diodes protect against overvoltage transients. |
| AVDD/DVDD/OVDD (28,27,20) | Positive supply rails | AVDD (analog), DVDD (digital logic), OVDD (output drivers); each requires dedicated 10 µF or 0.1 µF bypassing to AGND or OGND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8326IPW | 16-bit, 1 Msps, SPI interface, internal reference; lower speed but higher resolution and serial simplicity. | Best suited for portable instrumentation where resolution > speed and PCB space is constrained. | Select when 16-bit precision at ≤1 Msps suffices and serial interface reduces routing complexity versus parallel bus. |
| AD9220AR | 12-bit, 10 Msps, pipeline architecture, 3.3 V supply only; higher speed but introduces 10.5-cycle pipeline latency. | Applicable in video digitization or radar pulse capture where latency tolerance exists and higher throughput is mandatory. | Choose only if system can absorb pipeline delay and operate from 3.3 V; not drop-in due to timing model and supply mismatch. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1412CG#PBF?
The LTC1412CG#PBF is rated for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to 70°C. This range is defined by the "C" suffix in the part number and is validated per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables in the official datasheet. The device maintains full specification compliance-including ±0.35 LSB INL and 72 dB S/(N + D)-across this entire temperature span without derating. Thermal design should ensure junction temperature remains below 110°C under worst-case 150 mW dissipation.
Does the LTC1412CG#PBF require an external reference, or does it have an internal one?
The LTC1412CG#PBF includes a factory-trimmed, temperature-compensated 2.5 V internal bandgap reference accessible at the VREF pin (Pin 3). It operates without external components when used in internal-reference mode. The REFCOMP pin (Pin 4) must be bypassed with ≥10 µF to AGND for stability. External references (e.g., LT1019A-2.5) can override VREF for custom input spans, but the internal reference is fully functional and specified for all key AC/DC parameters.
Can the LTC1412CG#PBF interface directly with 3 V logic systems?
Yes-the LTC1412CG#PBF supports direct 3 V logic interfacing via its dedicated OVDD supply pin (Pin 21). When OVDD is set to 3 V, the D11–D0 parallel outputs drive valid CMOS logic levels compatible with 3 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, or ASICs. This eliminates level shifters and preserves timing integrity. The digital core (DVDD) remains at 5 V, ensuring robust internal logic operation independent of output voltage level.
What is the significance of "no pipeline delay" in the LTC1412CG#PBF?
"No pipeline delay" means the LTC1412CG#PBF is a true successive approximation register (SAR) ADC-not a pipeline ADC-so conversion results appear at the D11–D0 outputs within a fixed, deterministic 333 ns (max) after CONVST assertion. There is no latency accumulation across samples. This enables precise time-domain triggering, real-time feedback control, and synchronous multi-ADC sampling without inter-sample phase skew-critical in applications like motor control and ultrasound beamforming.
How does the differential input architecture improve noise immunity in the LTC1412CG#PBF?
The LTC1412CG#PBF's differential input architecture provides 63 dB common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) up to 1 MHz, actively rejecting noise coupled equally onto AIN+ and AIN– (e.g., ground loops, EMI, or supply ripple). By measuring only the voltage difference AIN+ – AIN–, it cancels interference that would corrupt single-ended measurements. This allows direct sensor interfacing in noisy industrial settings and improves effective SNR without additional filtering-verified in Typical Performance Characteristics Figure G09.
