Product details
Overview
LTC1598IG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-channel, 12-bit micropower sampling ADC with integrated multiplexer, serial interface, and auto-shutdown. It operates on a single 5V supply, draws 320μA typical during conversion at 16.8ksps, and powers down to 1nA between conversions. Its high-impedance analog inputs, 1.5V–5V reference range, and separate MUXOUT/ADCIN pins enable direct sensor interfacing in battery-powered remote data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1598IG#PBF datasheet, LTC1598IG#PBF pinout, LTC1598IG#PBF application, or LTC1598IG#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±3/4 LSB DNL, SPI/MICROWIRE/QSPI-compatible 4-wire serial interface, 24-pin SSOP package with –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, and ratiometric operation capability with external reference.
Technical Context
The LTC1598IG#PBF integrates an 8-channel analog multiplexer, 12-bit switched-capacitor successive-approximation ADC, sample-and-hold, and synchronous serial interface - all operating from a single 4.5V–5.5V supply. Its dual chip select architecture (CSMUX and CSADC) enables independent control of multiplexer channel selection and ADC conversion timing.
It supports break-before-make switching with tOPEN = 35–160ns, achieves 71dB SNR and 80dB SFDR at 1kHz input, and maintains ±3/4 LSB DNL across its full industrial temperature range. The MUXOUT/ADCIN loop allows external signal conditioning such as programmable gain amplification prior to digitization.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8320IDR | 16-bit resolution, 100ksps, SPI-only interface, no integrated MUX, 2.7–5.25V supply | Higher resolution but requires external multiplexer and consumes >1mA active current | Select when absolute precision outweighs power budget constraints and external MUX is acceptable. |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal 2.048V reference, 10-channel MUX, 2.7–3.6V supply only | Higher speed and more channels but incompatible 3.3V-only supply and fixed reference limit ratiometric flexibility | Select for high-speed, low-voltage battery systems where external reference is not needed and 5V operation is unavailable. |
Compared with ADS8320IDR and MAX11131ETE+, the LTC1598IG#PBF uniquely balances ultra-low power (1nA shutdown), integrated 8-channel MUX, 5V operation, and ratiometric capability - making it optimal for long-life, sensor-rich, isolated, or battery-operated industrial measurement nodes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1598IG#PBF?
The LTC1598IG#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, as indicated by the "IG" suffix in its part number. This industrial-grade temperature range is validated across all electrical specifications including DNL, offset error, and supply current, ensuring reliable performance in demanding embedded environments without derating.
Does the LTC1598IG#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No - the LTC1598IG#PBF supports both external reference operation (via VREF pin) and ratiometric configurations where VREF is tied to the same source as the sensor excitation. Its reference input accepts 1.5V to VCC + 0.05V, enabling direct use of common precision references like 2.5V or 4.096V without level-shifting.
Can the LTC1598IG#PBF operate with a 3V supply?
No - the LTC1598IG#PBF is specified for 4.5V to 5.5V operation only. For 3V-compatible alternatives, Linear Technology offers the LTC1598L variant (not LTC1598IG#PBF), which has different absolute maximum ratings, timing parameters, and supply current behavior.
How does the break-before-make interval benefit system design with the LTC1598IG#PBF?
The LTC1598IG#PBF guarantees a 35–160ns break-before-make interval (tOPEN) during channel switching. This prevents momentary shorting between channels, eliminating crosstalk-induced measurement errors in high-impedance sensor arrays - especially critical when measuring thermocouples or pH electrodes sharing a common return path.
Is the LTC1598IG#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC1594 series?
No - the LTC1598IG#PBF uses a 24-pin SSOP package while the LTC1594 series uses a 16-pin SO package. Their pinouts differ significantly: LTC1598IG#PBF includes CH4–CH7, three VCC pins, dual CLK and CSMUX pins, and separate DIN/DOUT, whereas LTC1594 has only CH0–CH3 and consolidated control signals. PCB layout is not interchangeable.
