Product details
Overview
LTC1417CGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-power, 14-bit, 400ksps successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with serial I/O, differential high-impedance analog inputs, internal 2.5V reference, and dual shutdown modes. It operates from single 5V or ±5V supplies, delivers ±1.25LSB INL and ±1LSB DNL over temperature, and achieves 81dB S/(N+D) at 200kHz input - enabling precision data acquisition in isolated industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1417CGN#PBF datasheet, LTC1417CGN#PBF pinout, LTC1417CGN#PBF application, or LTC1417CGN#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing and noise performance, package-specific layout guidance, and validated alternative options for high-fidelity sampling systems requiring stable DC accuracy and broadband dynamic performance.
Technical Context
The LTC1417CGN#PBF implements a fully integrated successive-approximation architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold, precision 2.5V reference, and internal trimmed 9.4MHz conversion clock. Its differential capacitive DAC and zeroing-switch SAR logic enable 2.25µs max conversion time and 150ns min acquisition time.
It supports unipolar (0V–4.096V) and bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges via supply configuration, features separate CONVST/BUSY/ RD control signals for FIFO and microprocessor interfacing, and offers Nap (750µA) and Sleep (0.1µA) power-down modes selectable via SHDN and RD pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - delivers 16,384 distinct output codes with no missing codes across full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 400ksps - supports real-time digitization of signals up to 200kHz Nyquist bandwidth without aliasing. |
| INL / DNL | ±1.25LSB / ±1LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.0076% full-scale linearity error for calibration-critical measurements. |
| S/(N+D) | 81dB at 100kHz - corresponds to ~13.2 effective bits, enabling high-fidelity audio and spectrum analysis. |
| THD | –95dB at Nyquist - suppresses harmonic distortion to <0.0018% of fundamental, critical for telecom signal integrity. |
| Power Dissipation | 20mW typical (unipolar) - enables thermally constrained designs such as portable instrumentation and multi-channel DAQ modules. |
| Supply Range | 4.75V–5.25V (VDD), –5.25V––4.75V (VSS) - supports robust operation under industrial rail tolerances. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow-body SSOP (0.154" width), SO-8 footprint compatible, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+ | Differential analog input (+) | Accepts 0V–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar); 14pF input capacitance in sample mode requires low-Z drive for <500ns acquisition. |
| AIN– | Differential analog input (–) | Common-mode rejection ≥65dB; must be driven symmetrically with AIN+ to preserve AC performance. |
| VREF | 2.500V ±20mV internal reference output | Bypass to AGND with 1µF; tempco ±10ppm/°C (0°C–70°C); used for unipolar full-scale scaling. |
| REFCOMP | 4.096V reference output | Bypass to AGND with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic; enables precise 12-bit LSB = 1mV scaling in unipolar mode. |
| CONVST | Active-low conversion start | Falling edge initiates SAR cycle; minimum pulse width 40ns; timing-critical for synchronized multi-ADC systems. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Low during conversion (≤2.25µs); used to gate RD or trigger interrupt; 35–70ns delay from CONVST. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | MSB-first, SPI-compatible; valid 7–12ns before BUSY↑; requires SCLK ≤20MHz for falling-edge capture. |
| SHDN / RD | Power management control pair | SHDN=LOW + RD=LOW → Nap mode (750µA); SHDN=LOW + RD=HIGH → Sleep mode (0.1µA). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal precision reference | 2.500V ±20mV output with ±10ppm/°C tempco (0°C–70°C) eliminates external reference IC and reduces BOM count. |
| Dual shutdown modes | Nap mode (750µA) enables fast wake-up (<500ns); Sleep mode (0.1µA) extends battery life in portable DAQ systems. |
| Differential high-Z analog inputs | 14pF sample-mode capacitance and ±1µA leakage allow direct connection to low-noise op amps like LT1630 without buffering. |
| Guaranteed no missing codes | Validated over 0°C–70°C temperature range - essential for closed-loop control and safety-critical monitoring applications. |
| Flexible clocking | Supports internal 9.4MHz clock or external conversion clock up to 9MHz; CLKOUT provides synchronous timing for daisy-chained ADCs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit, 400ksps SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8326IPW | 16-bit resolution, 500ksps, SPI interface, external reference only, 3.3V-only supply | Higher resolution but requires external 2.5V reference and level-shifting for 5V systems; no bipolar support | Select when 16-bit precision is mandatory and system already uses 3.3V logic; avoid if ±5V supply or internal reference is required. |
| MAX1166CEUA+ | 14-bit, 250ksps, internal reference, 2.7V–5.25V supply, no bipolar mode, 8-pin µMAX package | Lower speed and unipolar-only; smaller footprint but lacks differential inputs and REFCOMP output | Select for space-constrained unipolar sensor nodes where 250ksps suffices and differential rejection is not needed. |
Compared with LTC1417CGN#PBF, ADS8326IPW trades internal reference and bipolar operation for higher resolution and speed, while MAX1166CEUA+ sacrifices speed, differential capability, and REFCOMP to achieve ultra-compact size - making LTC1417CGN#PBF the optimal choice for balanced precision, flexibility, and ease of integration in industrial and test equipment.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1417CGN#PBF?
The LTC1417CGN#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). Its DC specifications - including ±1.25LSB INL and no missing codes - are guaranteed across this full range. The part marking "CGN" explicitly denotes the Commercial temperature grade, distinct from the Industrial-grade LTC1417IGN#PBF (–40°C to 85°C).
Does the LTC1417CGN#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1417CGN#PBF includes a precision 2.500V internal reference (VREF pin) with ±20mV initial accuracy and ±10ppm/°C tempco over 0°C–70°C. It also provides a buffered 4.096V reference (REFCOMP) optimized for unipolar 12-bit LSB scaling. External references are optional and used only when higher initial accuracy or custom voltage is needed.
How does the LTC1417CGN#PBF handle power-down modes?
The LTC1417CGN#PBF implements two user-selectable shutdown modes via SHDN and RD pins: Nap mode (SHDN=LOW, RD=LOW) draws 750µA and wakes in <500ns; Sleep mode (SHDN=LOW, RD=HIGH) draws just 0.1µA but requires longer wake-up. Both modes retain register state and reference bias - critical for low-power portable instrumentation using LTC1417CGN#PBF.
Can the LTC1417CGN#PBF operate with a single 5V supply in bipolar mode?
No - bipolar operation requires both VDD = +5V and VSS = –5V supplies. The LTC1417CGN#PBF's analog input range is ±2.048V only when powered from ±5V rails. Attempting bipolar input with single 5V supply violates absolute maximum ratings and will damage the device. Unipolar mode (0V–4.096V) is the sole option for single-supply use.
What is the maximum SCLK frequency supported by the LTC1417CGN#PBF?
The LTC1417CGN#PBF supports SCLK up to 20MHz when capturing data on the falling edge (with 5ns setup time), or up to 10MHz for rising-edge capture. This allows high-speed serial readout at full 400ksps throughput - each 14-bit conversion requires ≤1.4µs serial transfer time at 10MHz, fitting within the 2.5µs total acquisition-plus-conversion window.
