Product details
Overview
LTC1594LIS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 3V, 12-bit, 4-channel micropower sampling ADC with integrated multiplexer and serial interface. It delivers 10.5ksps sampling rate, ±3/4 LSB DNL, 160µA typical supply current during conversion, and auto-shutdown to 1nA between conversions. It operates from 2.7V to 3.6V and supports ratiometric or external reference configurations - ideal for battery-powered sensor data acquisition in industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1594LIS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1594LIS#TRPBF application, or LTC1594LIS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes performance over –40°C to +85°C, separate MUX/ADC control via CSMUX and CSADC, SPI/MICROWIRE/QSPI-compatible 4-wire serial interface, and direct high-impedance analog input capability down to 1.5V full-scale span.
Technical Context
The LTC1594LIS#TRPBF integrates a switched-capacitor successive-approximation ADC with on-chip sample-and-hold and a 4-channel analog multiplexer. Its architecture enables independent control of multiplexer channel selection (via CSMUX/DIN) and ADC conversion timing (via CSADC), supporting flexible sequencing such as single-channel multi-conversion bursts at up to 20ksps.
It features a dedicated MUXOUT-to-ADCIN loop for external signal conditioning (e.g., PGA or antialiasing), supports unipolar transfer function only, and maintains specified linearity (±3/4 LSB DNL) and dynamic performance (68dB S/(N+D), 80dB SFDR) across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit, guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and full code coverage for precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 10.5ksps maximum - supports real-time monitoring of fast-changing sensor signals like temperature transients or vibration. |
| Supply Current | 160µA typ during conversion; 1nA typ in auto-shutdown - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries. |
| Differential Nonlinearity | ±3/4 LSB max - preserves accuracy in closed-loop control applications requiring sub-0.1% error budgets. |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with standard 3V Li-ion, Li-SOCl₂, and regulated 3.3V rails without level-shifting. |
| Reference Input Range | 1.5V to VCC + 0.05V - allows use of low-voltage references (e.g., 1.5V, 2.048V, 2.5V) to maximize resolution for low-span sensors. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow SO (SO-16), RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH3 (Pins 1–4) | Analog multiplexer inputs | Accept 0V to VCC + 0.05V signals; high-impedance (≤1µA leakage) enables direct connection to resistive sensors or thermistors. |
| ADCIN (Pin 5) | Positive ADC input | Connects to MUXOUT for standard operation; accepts conditioned or filtered signals when used with external PGA/filter in MUXOUT–ADCIN loop. |
| VREF (Pin 6) | Reference voltage input | Defines full-scale range; supports external references or ratiometric use with supply-sensed references. |
| COM (Pin 7) | Negative ADC input | Common-mode reference point; must be low-noise and tied to clean analog ground for accurate differential measurements. |
| GND (Pin 8) | Analog ground | Primary return path for analog circuitry; requires dedicated low-impedance plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| CSADC (Pin 9) | ADC chip select | Active-low enable for ADC sampling/conversion; powers down ADC and tristates DOUT when high. |
| CSMUX (Pin 10) | MUX chip select | Active-low enable for multiplexer channel selection; decoupled from CSADC to allow independent MUX/ADC control. |
| CLK (Pin 11) | Serial clock input | Synchronizes DIN data capture and DOUT data output; supports up to 200kHz clock frequency at 2.7V. |
| DIN (Pin 12) | Digital input | Receives 4-bit channel address (EN + D2:D0); latched on rising CLK edge when CS is high. |
| DOUT (Pin 13) | Digital output | Outputs 12-bit conversion result LSB-first; tri-stated when CSADC is high. |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Power supply | 3V supply input; requires local 1µF bypass capacitor to GND for stable ADC operation. |
| NC (Pins 15–16) | No connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Separate MUX and ADC controls | Enables channel selection once followed by multiple conversions - reduces host overhead and increases effective throughput to 20ksps. |
| MUXOUT/ADCIN loop | Allows insertion of external gain stages or filters between multiplexer and ADC - eliminates per-channel signal conditioning hardware. |
| Auto shutdown to 1nA | Minimizes quiescent power between samples - critical for energy harvesting and long-life battery systems. |
| High-impedance analog inputs | Supports direct connection to high-Z sources (e.g., thermocouples, RTDs, pH electrodes) without buffer amplifiers. |
| Reduced full-scale span (1.5V min) | Delivers 366µV LSB resolution at 1.5V reference - improves sensitivity for low-output transducers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, micropower, multiplexed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, 200ksps, 2.7–5.25V supply, SPI-only interface, no integrated MUX | Lower resolution and no on-chip multiplexer - requires external analog switch for multi-channel use. | Select when higher speed and lower cost outweigh resolution and integration needs. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 12-bit, 100ksps, 2.7–3.6V, internal 2.048V reference, no separate MUX/ADC controls | Fixed internal reference and coupled MUX/ADC timing - less flexible for burst-mode or isolated MUX control. | Select when simplified interface and built-in reference reduce design complexity, and 100ksps is sufficient. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF?
The LTC1594LIS#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range is confirmed in the "ORDER PART NUMBER" table and "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS" section of the datasheet, where the "LIS" suffix explicitly denotes the –40°C to +85°C grade. All key specifications-including DNL, gain error, and supply current-are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF support SPI mode with CPOL=0 and CPHA=0?
Yes, the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF supports SPI mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0). The datasheet states compatibility with QSPI, SPI, and MICROWIRE interfaces, and Figure 1 ("Operating Sequence") shows data sampled on the rising CLK edge and output on the falling CLK edge - consistent with standard SPI mode 0 timing. The device uses a 4-wire interface (CS, CLK, DIN, DOUT) and does not support 3-wire shared-DIN/DOUT in SPI mode without explicit host control of direction.
Can the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF operate with a 1.5V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF supports reference voltages as low as 1.5V. The "CONVERTER AND MULTIPLEXER CHARACTERISTICS" table specifies "REF Input Range: 1.5V to VCC + 0.05V", and the "TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS" include plots showing linearity, gain, and offset variation vs. reference voltage down to 1.5V. At 1.5V reference, the LSB size is 366µV, enabling high-resolution measurement of low-output sensors.
How does the break-before-make interval work on the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF?
The LTC1594LIS#TRPBF implements a guaranteed break-before-make interval (tOPEN = 125–350ns) during channel switching. As described in the "APPLICATIONS INFORMATION" section, when CS falls, all channels are simultaneously disabled after tOFF delay, then the newly selected channel is enabled after tON delay - ensuring no overlap between channels. This prevents crosstalk and transient injection in multi-channel sampling, especially critical for high-impedance sensor sources.
Is the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LTC1594CS#TRPBF?
No, the LTC1594LIS#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with the LTC1594CS#TRPBF. Both are 16-pin SO packages, but the "L" suffix denotes the low-voltage (2.7–3.6V) version with optimized micropower architecture, while the non-"L" version (e.g., LTC1594CS) is a 5V-part variant. Their absolute maximum ratings, supply current profiles, and reference input ranges differ significantly - direct substitution would risk under-voltage operation or specification violation.
