Product details
Overview
LTC1418AIG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-power, 14-bit, 200ksps analog-to-digital converter with selectable parallel or SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial output. It operates from single 5V or ±5V supplies, features an integrated 2.5V reference and sample-and-hold, and delivers ±1.25LSB INL and 81.5dB S/(N+D) at 100kHz input-enabling high-accuracy data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation and isolated telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1418AIG#PBF datasheet, LTC1418AIG#PBF pinout, LTC1418AIG#PBF application, or LTC1418AIG#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), dual-mode power shutdown (Nap/Sleep), differential high-impedance analog inputs, and flexible serial/parallel interface timing compatibility with microcontrollers and DSPs.
Technical Context
The LTC1418AIG#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an internal capacitive DAC and precision comparator. Its conversion cycle begins on the falling edge of CONVST and completes in 3.4–4µs, with BUSY signaling active during conversion.
It supports two reference configurations: internal 2.5V reference (±20ppm/°C tempco, 2.48–2.52V) or external reference up to 4.096V. Input ranges are 0V to 4.096V (unipolar, VSS = 0V) or ±2.048V (bipolar, VSS = –5V), with differential input structure providing common-mode rejection up to 90dB at 1kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes over full temperature range-guarantees monotonicity and deterministic code transitions in closed-loop control. |
| Sampling Rate | 200ksps maximum-supports real-time capture of signals up to 100kHz Nyquist bandwidth without aliasing. |
| INL / DNL | ±1.25LSB / ±1LSB max over temperature-ensures <0.0076% full-scale linearity error for precision sensor digitization. |
| Power Dissipation | 15mW typical (unipolar), 26.5mW typical (bipolar)-enables operation in thermally constrained portable systems. |
| S/(N+D) | 81.5dB at 97.5kHz input-translates to ~13.3 effective bits, sufficient for high-fidelity audio and medical waveform analysis. |
| THD | –94dB at 100kHz-minimizes harmonic contamination in spectral analysis and communications signal processing. |
| Reference Output | 2.500V ±20mV (0°C to 85°C)-provides stable excitation for ratiometric sensors and eliminates need for external reference IC. |
Pinout & Package
28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 5.6mm × 10.2mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input pair | Accepts ±2.048V bipolar or 0–4.096V unipolar signals; high-impedance (>1GΩ) with 5pF hold-mode capacitance enables direct connection to low-leakage sources. |
| VREF | 2.5V reference output | Provides precision voltage source for external circuitry; requires 1µF bypass to AGND for stability and noise reduction. |
| REFCOMP | 4.096V reference bypass node | Stabilizes internal reference amplifier; must be bypassed with 10µF tantalum + 0.1µF ceramic to AGND. |
| D13–D0 | Parallel data outputs (MSB to LSB) | Three-state outputs enabled by CS and RD; support 14-bit parallel readout synchronized to RD falling edge. |
| SER/PAR | Output format select | High = serial mode (DOUT, SCLK, CLKOUT, EXTCLKIN active); low = parallel mode (D13–D0 active). |
| CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Falling-edge sensitive; initiates SAR cycle and resets internal logic-must remain low ≥40ns before BUSY assertion. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output; asserts low for 3.4–4µs during conversion-used for handshaking with host processor. |
| SHDN, CS | Power management controls | SHDN low + CS low = Nap mode (4.3µA IDD); SHDN low + CS high = Sleep mode (2µA IDD); both high = normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Selectable serial/parallel interface | Reduces BOM count and PCB routing complexity-serial mode uses only 4 pins (DOUT, SCLK, EXTCLKIN, EXT/INT), parallel mode delivers full 14-bit word in one cycle. |
| Onboard 2.5V reference | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout sensitivity-reference drift ≤±20ppm/°C ensures <0.02% full-scale error shift across industrial temperature range. |
| Dual shutdown modes | Nap mode (4.3µA) enables rapid wake-up (<500ns) for burst sampling; Sleep mode (2µA) maximizes battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise up to 90dB at 1kHz-critical for accurate measurement in noisy industrial environments with long sensor cables. |
| Internal sample-and-hold | Acquisition time ≤1µs with low-source-impedance drive-removes need for external op-amp buffer in most DC and low-frequency AC applications. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit resolution, 100ksps, SPI-only interface, 1.8V/3.3V supply, no internal reference | Higher resolution but lower speed; requires external reference and level-shifting for 5V systems | Choose when ENOB >14 bits is mandatory and throughput ≤100ksps suffices. |
| MAX11902ETX+ | 14-bit, 250ksps, internal reference, SPI interface only, –40°C to +105°C rating | Faster sampling but lacks parallel output; wider temp range suits automotive under-hood use | Choose when serial-only interface is acceptable and extended temperature operation is required. |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and MAX11902ETX+, the LTC1418AIG#PBF uniquely balances 200ksps speed, dual serial/parallel flexibility, integrated 2.5V reference, and industrial temperature grade-making it optimal for mixed-signal embedded systems where interface adaptability and power efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1418AIG#PBF?
The LTC1418AIG#PBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the manufacturer's order information table. This range applies to all DC and AC specifications including INL (±1.25LSB), DNL (±1LSB), and power consumption (15mW typical). The device uses the G-package SSOP and is marked "1418AIG" per Linear Technology's packaging nomenclature.
Does the LTC1418AIG#PBF include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the LTC1418AIG#PBF integrates a precision 2.500V ±20mV reference with ±20ppm/°C tempco over –40°C to +85°C. It is accessible at Pin 3 (VREF) and requires a 1µF capacitor to AGND. The reference can be used internally for ADC conversion or externally to bias sensors-eliminating the need for discrete reference ICs in most designs.
How does the LTC1418AIG#PBF handle power management?
The LTC1418AIG#PBF offers two user-selectable low-power modes: Nap mode (4.3µA IDD, 0.1µA ISS) and Sleep mode (2µA IDD, 0.1µA ISS), activated via SHDN and CS pins. Nap mode allows sub-microsecond wake-up (<500ns) for burst sampling, while Sleep mode minimizes quiescent current for extended standby-both critical for battery longevity in portable LTC1418AIG#PBF deployments.
What are the supported analog input configurations for the LTC1418AIG#PBF?
The LTC1418AIG#PBF supports unipolar (0V to 4.096V, VSS = 0V) and bipolar (±2.048V, VSS = –5V) input ranges. Inputs are differential (AIN+, AIN–), enabling common-mode noise rejection. Single-ended operation is also possible by grounding AIN–, though DC specs assume differential input per datasheet Note 6. Input leakage is ±1µA max, and acquisition time is ≤1µs with low-impedance sources.
Can the LTC1418AIG#PBF interface directly with a microcontroller using SPI?
Yes, the LTC1418AIG#PBF provides native SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial communication. When SER/PAR = high, pins D1 (DOUT), D3 (SCLK), D4 (EXTCLKIN), and D0 (EXT/INT) form a 4-wire interface supporting clock frequencies up to 12.5MHz. It operates as either master or slave, and the BUSY signal enables synchronous data capture-allowing seamless integration with ARM Cortex-M or PIC microcontrollers without glue logic.
