Product details
Overview
LTC1418ACG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-power, 14-bit, 200ksps successive-approximation ADC with selectable parallel or SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial output. It operates from single 5V or ±5V supplies, integrates a 2.5V reference and sample-and-hold, and delivers ±1.25LSB INL, 81.5dB S/(N+D), and 15mW typical power dissipation in battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1418ACG#PBF datasheet, LTC1418ACG#PBF pinout, LTC1418ACG#PBF application, or LTC1418ACG#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar/bipolar input range flexibility (0–4.096V or ±2.048V), dual shutdown modes (Nap/Sleep), differential high-impedance analog inputs, and guaranteed no missing codes over temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC1418ACG#PBF implements a 14-bit capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with internal timing control, eliminating need for external clocks in basic operation. Its sample-and-hold acquires input in ≤1µs and holds during conversion, supporting full 200ksps throughput with tCONV = 3.4–4µs and tACQ = 0.3–1µs.
Digital interface supports both parallel 14-bit output (D13–D0) and serial mode via configurable pins: D0 (EXT/INT) selects internal/external clock source, D3 (SCLK) serves as serial clock input, D1 (DOUT) as serial data output, and D2 (CLKOUT) as clock output - all SPI/MICROWIRE compatible up to 12.5MHz SCLK.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with guaranteed no missing codes over 0°C to 70°C operating range |
| Sampling Rate | 200ksps maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to 100kHz Nyquist frequency |
| INL / DNL | ±1.25LSB max integral nonlinearity and ±1LSB max differential nonlinearity - ensures accurate DC measurement and monotonicity |
| S/(N + D) | 81.5dB at 97.5kHz input - supports high-fidelity signal digitization in audio and telecom applications |
| Power Dissipation | 15mW typical at 200ksps (unipolar), 21.5mW typical (bipolar) - suitable for thermally constrained portable designs |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to 4.096V (unipolar, 5V supply) or ±2.048V (bipolar, ±5V supply) - matches standard reference scaling for precision measurement |
| Reference | Integrated 2.500V ±20mV (±0.8%) precision reference with ±10ppm/°C tempco - eliminates external reference component count |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 5.6mm × 10.2mm body, 0.635mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input pair | High-impedance inputs accepting unipolar (0–4.096V) or bipolar (±2.048V) signals; common-mode rejection minimizes noise coupling |
| VREF | 2.5V reference output | Stable internal reference requiring 1µF bypass to AGND; used for ADC core and external circuitry calibration |
| REFCOMP | 4.096V reference bypass node | Supports external 4.096V reference generation when paired with VREF; requires 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic bypass |
| D13–D0 | Parallel data outputs (14-bit) | Three-state outputs active when CS = RD = LOW; D13 = MSB; SER/PAR pin configures output format |
| SER/PAR | Output mode select | LOW = parallel output enabled; HIGH = serial output enabled (D1/D2/D3/D4/D0 functional) |
| CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Falling-edge sensitive; initiates SAR conversion cycle; must remain low ≥40ns per timing spec |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output signaling conversion in progress; used for handshaking with host processor |
| SHDN, CS | Power management controls | SHDN = LOW + CS = LOW → Nap mode (fast wake-up); SHDN = LOW + CS = HIGH → Sleep mode (ultra-low current) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Selectable I/O interface | Hardware-configurable parallel or serial (SPI/MICROWIRE) output reduces host interface complexity and PCB routing overhead |
| Dual shutdown modes | Nap mode (2µA IDD) enables sub-microsecond wake-up; Sleep mode (0.1µA IDD) extends battery life in idle periods |
| Integrated precision reference | 2.500V ±20mV reference with ±10ppm/°C tempco eliminates need for external voltage reference IC or trimming |
| Differential high-Z analog input | Input leakage ≤±1µA and capacitance ≤25pF allow direct connection to high-impedance sensors without buffer amplification |
| Guaranteed no missing codes | Valid across full 0°C to 70°C temperature range - critical for closed-loop control and safety-critical instrumentation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit, 200ksps ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit resolution, 100ksps max, SPI-only interface, no internal reference - requires external 2.5V ref and driver amp | Better DC precision but lower speed; suited for static sensor readout, not dynamic waveform capture | Choose ADS8325IPW when ENOB >13.5 bits and sampling rate ≤100ksps suffices; avoid if 200ksps or integrated reference required |
| MAX1166CCM+ | 14-bit, 250ksps, internal reference, parallel/serial output - but only 0°C to 70°C grade and no bipolar input support | Limited to unipolar 0–VREF range; lacks ±2.048V bipolar mode needed for AC-coupled or differential sensor interfaces | Choose MAX1166CCM+ for cost-sensitive unipolar-only applications where bipolar capability is unnecessary |
Compared with ADS8325IPW and MAX1166CCM+, the LTC1418ACG#PBF uniquely combines 200ksps throughput, integrated 2.5V reference, bipolar/unipolar input flexibility, and dual shutdown modes - making it optimal for portable, isolated, or thermally constrained 14-bit data acquisition where system-level component count and power efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1418ACG#PBF?
The LTC1418ACG#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature operation. This grade guarantees ±1.25LSB INL, ±1LSB DNL, and no missing codes across that full range - validated per Linear Technology's original specification and maintained under Analog Devices' product continuity program.
Does the LTC1418ACG#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1418ACG#PBF includes an integrated 2.500V ±20mV precision reference with ±10ppm/°C tempco. It can operate fully self-contained using this internal reference; however, the REF COMP pin allows optional use of an external 4.096V reference for enhanced full-scale accuracy in calibrated systems.
How does the LTC1418ACG#PBF support both unipolar and bipolar input ranges?
The LTC1418ACG#PBF achieves dual-range operation through supply configuration: unipolar 0V to 4.096V input uses VDD = 5V and VSS = 0V; bipolar ±2.048V input uses VDD = +5V and VSS = –5V. The internal reference and analog front-end are designed to scale correctly in either configuration without hardware modification.
What are the key timing requirements for reliable conversion handshaking with the LTC1418ACG#PBF?
Reliable handshaking requires meeting t2 = 40ns (CS↓ to CONVST↓ setup), t6 = 35–70ns (CONVST to BUSY delay), and t10 = 15–30ns (data access after RD↓). BUSY assertion confirms conversion completion, and RD must remain low ≥t12 to maintain valid parallel output - all verified at CL = 25pF load per the LTC1418ACG#PBF datasheet.
Can the LTC1418ACG#PBF be used in SPI master mode?
Yes, the LTC1418ACG#PBF supports SPI master mode in serial configuration: when SER/PAR = HIGH and D0 (EXT/INT) = LOW, the device generates its own conversion clock on D2 (CLKOUT) and drives D1 (DOUT) synchronously with D3 (SCLK) - enabling it to act as SPI master controlling external peripherals or daisy-chained ADCs.
