Product details
Overview
LTC1598LCG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-channel, 12-bit micropower sampling ADC with integrated multiplexer, operating from a single 2.7V–3.6V supply and drawing only 160µA typical supply current at 10.5ksps. It features separate MUXOUT/ADCIN pins for flexible signal conditioning, auto-shutdown to 1nA between conversions, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface. It is used in battery-operated remote data acquisition systems requiring high-resolution analog sensing with ultra-low power.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1598LCG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1598LCG#TRPBF application, or LTC1598LCG#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed application use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all grounded in the official Linear Technology LTC1594L/LTC1598L datasheet (15948lfb).
Technical Context
The LTC1598LCG#TRPBF integrates an 8-channel analog multiplexer, a 12-bit switched-capacitor successive-approximation ADC, sample-and-hold, and a synchronous half-duplex serial interface. Its dual chip select architecture (CSMUX and CSADC) enables independent control of multiplexer channel selection and ADC conversion timing, supporting up to 20ksps when optimized.
It supports ratiometric operation or external reference inputs from 1.5V to VCC + 0.05V, accepts analog inputs from –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V, and guarantees ±3/4 LSB max DNL and ±3 LSB max INL over temperature. The MUXOUT/ADCIN loop allows insertion of external gain or filtering stages without per-channel circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - delivers 4096 discrete output levels for precise sensor digitization. |
| Sampling Rate | 10.5 ksps maximum - supports real-time monitoring of fast-changing industrial or biomedical signals. |
| Supply Current | 160 µA typical at 10.5 ksps; drops to 1 nA in auto-shutdown - enables multi-year battery life in portable sensors. |
| Differential Nonlinearity | ±3/4 LSB max - ensures monotonic transfer function critical for closed-loop control feedback accuracy. |
| Reference Input Range | 1.5 V to VCC + 0.05 V - permits use of low-voltage references (e.g., 1.5V, 2.048V, 2.5V) to match sensor output spans. |
| Analog Input Range | –0.05 V to VCC + 0.05 V - accommodates small negative offsets or floating common-mode voltages without level-shifting. |
| Serial Interface | 4-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible - interoperates with standard microcontroller peripherals without protocol translation. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1598LCG#TRPBF is housed in a 24-pin plastic SSOP (Small Outline Package) with 0.635 mm pitch, specified for operation from 0°C to 70°C (commercial grade). Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index mark.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 (Pins 20–24, 1–3) | Analog multiplexer inputs | Eight independent analog input channels; selected via 3-bit address on DIN with EN bit. |
| MUXOUT (Pin 18) | Multiplexer output | Drives selected channel voltage to ADCIN; forms configurable signal conditioning loop. |
| ADCIN (Pin 17) | ADC positive input | Accepts conditioned signal from MUXOUT; high-impedance input minimizes loading. |
| COM (Pin 8) | ADC negative input / reference return | Serves as common-mode reference point for differential measurement against ADCIN. |
| VREF (Pin 16) | External reference input | Defines full-scale range; supports 1.5V–3.65V references for flexible span configuration. |
| CSMUX (Pins 6, 13) | Multiplexer chip select | Enables MUX address latching on rising edge; must be tied to CSADC for standard operation. |
| CSADC (Pin 10) | ADC chip select | Triggers sampling and conversion when pulled low; powers down ADC when high. |
| CLK (Pins 5, 12, 14) | Serial clock input | Synchronizes both MUX addressing and ADC data transfer; max 200 kHz at 2.7V. |
| DIN (Pins 7, 14) | Serial data input | Receives 4-bit channel address (EN + D2:D0); supports 3-wire mode when tied to DOUT. |
| DOUT (Pin 11) | Serial data output | Outputs 12-bit LSB-first conversion result after null bit; tri-states when CSADC is high. |
| VCC (Pins 11, 15, 16, 19) | Power supply | Single 2.7V–3.6V supply; multiple pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR. |
| GND (Pins 4, 9) | Analog ground | Must connect directly to low-noise analog ground plane; separates digital noise from ADC core. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Separate MUX and ADC controls | Independent CSMUX/CSADC enables channel pre-selection for burst-mode sampling at up to 20ksps. |
| MUXOUT/ADCIN loop | Allows insertion of external PGA or anti-alias filter in shared path - eliminates per-channel op-amp cost and layout area. |
| Auto shutdown to 1nA | Eliminates need for external power gating; reduces average current by >99.9% during idle intervals. |
| Ratiometric operation support | Enables direct connection to resistive sensors (e.g., RTDs, potentiometers) without precision voltage references. |
| Low-voltage 1.5V full-scale capability | Permits direct interfacing with low-output transducers (e.g., thermocouples with cold-junction compensation amps). |
| 3-wire serial interface option | DIN/DOUT tie-down reduces MCU GPIO count and simplifies isolation barrier implementation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel, 12-bit, micropower ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7957IRHBT | 12-bit, 8-channel SAR ADC with 1MSPS max rate; requires 5V supply or level-shifted I/O; no auto-shutdown below 10µA. | Higher speed suits motor control feedback; unsuitable for sub-µA battery-critical designs. | Select if sampling rate >100ksps is required and system can accommodate higher power and 5V interface. |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 12-bit, 8-channel SAR ADC with 500ksps rate; 2.7–3.6V supply; 350µA active current; SPI-only interface. | Higher noise floor (70dB SNR vs 68dB) and no MUXOUT/ADCIN loop limits signal conditioning flexibility. | Choose when faster throughput is needed and external PGA/filtering is implemented upstream of the ADC. |
Compared with ADS7957IRHBT and MAX11131ETE+, the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF uniquely combines sub-µA shutdown, MUXOUT/ADCIN signal conditioning flexibility, and guaranteed ±3/4 LSB DNL - making it optimal for ultra-low-power, space-constrained, and precision-sensing applications where per-channel analog front-end cost must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF?
The LTC1598LCG#TRPBF is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to 70°C. This is indicated by the "C" in the part number suffix and confirmed in the "PACKAGE/ORDER INFORMATION" section of the datasheet, where LTC1598LCG denotes the 0°C to 70°C grade. The "G" suffix refers to the SSOP package variant, not temperature grade.
Does the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF support true differential input measurements?
No, the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF does not support true differential input measurements. It is configured for unipolar operation only, with COM serving as the negative reference input for single-ended measurements relative to ADCIN. The transfer curve and specifications confirm unipolar-only behavior, and no differential input mode or dedicated IN+ / IN− pins are provided.
Can the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF operate with a 1.5V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF supports reference voltages as low as 1.5V, as explicitly stated in the "REF Input Range" specification: 1.5V to VCC + 0.05V. Using a 1.5V reference yields a full-scale range of 0–1.5V and a resolution of 366µV (1.5V / 4096), enabling direct digitization of low-output sensors without gain amplification.
How does the break-before-make interval affect channel switching in the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF?
The LTC1598LCG#TRPBF implements a guaranteed 125–350 ns break-before-make interval (tOPEN) during channel switching. This ensures all channels disconnect completely before the next selected channel connects - preventing momentary short-circuits between channels and eliminating crosstalk in high-impedance sensor networks, which is critical for accurate multi-sensor measurements.
Is the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LTC1594L series?
No, the LTC1598LCG#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with the LTC1594L series. The LTC1598LCG#TRPBF uses a 24-pin SSOP package with dedicated pins for eight analog inputs (CH0–CH7), while the LTC1594L uses a 16-pin SO package supporting only four channels (CH0–CH3). Their pin counts, layouts, and signal assignments are fundamentally different and non-interchangeable.
