Product details
Overview
LTC1603IG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with differential input, internal 2.5V reference, ±2.5V bipolar input range, and 90dB S/(N+D) at 250ksps. It operates from ±5V supplies, draws 220mW typical power, and supports Nap (7mW) and Sleep (10µW) shutdown modes for low-power data acquisition systems in spectrum analysis and imaging.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1603IG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1603IG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1603IG#TRPBF application, or LTC1603IG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-pipeline-delay parallel output, 68dB common-mode rejection, 480ns acquisition time, ±1 LSB integral linearity over temperature, and compatibility with µP/DSP interfaces via CONVST, RD, and BUSY control signals.
Technical Context
The LTC1603IG#TRPBF implements a capacitor-based successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with an integrated differential sample-and-hold circuit. Its 15MHz input bandwidth and 68dB CMRR enable high-fidelity acquisition of single-ended or true differential signals without ground-loop interference.
Conversion is initiated by a falling edge on CONVST while CS is low; BUSY goes low during conversion and rises when 16-bit two's complement data is valid on D15–D0. The internal clock guarantees 3.8µs max conversion time and 4µs throughput, with no pipeline latency between sampling and data availability.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1603IG#TRPBF?
The LTC1603IG#TRPBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). This extended range ensures reliable performance in harsh environments such as factory automation and outdoor test equipment. All key specifications-including integral linearity (±1 LSB), S/(N+D) (90dB), and conversion time (≤3.8µs)-are guaranteed across this full temperature span, eliminating need for derating or thermal recalibration in deployed systems.
Does the LTC1603IG#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1603IG#TRPBF contains a fully integrated, factory-trimmed internal clock that drives the SAR conversion process. It delivers a guaranteed maximum conversion time of 3.8µs and supports 250ksps sampling without any external timing components. This simplifies system design, reduces component count, and improves timing predictability-critical for deterministic data acquisition in µP- or DSP-based systems using the LTC1603IG#TRPBF.
How does the LTC1603IG#TRPBF handle differential versus single-ended input configurations?
The LTC1603IG#TRPBF natively supports both configurations: AIN+ and AIN– form a true differential pair with 68dB CMRR and 15MHz bandwidth, enabling noise-rejecting measurements; for single-ended use, AIN– is grounded and AIN+ accepts a 0V to +2.5V or ±2.5V signal depending on reference configuration. Integral and differential nonlinearity remain invariant with common-mode voltage, though bipolar zero error shifts <0.1% per volt-verified in LTC1603IG#TRPBF characterization data.
What are the power supply requirements for the LTC1603IG#TRPBF?
The LTC1603IG#TRPBF requires three independent supply rails: AVDD = DVDD = OVDD = +5V (4.75V to 5.25V), VSS = –5V (–4.75V to –5.25V), and separate AGND/DGND/OGND connections. Bypassing is critical: AVDD/VSS need 10µF + 0.1µF per rail; VREF requires 2.2µF + 0.1µF; REFCOMP needs 47µF + 0.1µF. Total active power is 220mW typical; Nap mode draws 7mW and Sleep mode just 10µW-specified and tested for the LTC1603IG#TRPBF across temperature.
Is the LTC1603IG#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC160x family?
Yes, the LTC1603IG#TRPBF is pin-compatible with the LTC1604 and LTC1608 as stated in the official datasheet. This allows drop-in replacement in existing designs targeting different speed/resolution trade-offs: LTC1604 is 14-bit/250ksps, LTC1608 is 16-bit/100ksps. All share identical 36-pin SSOP footprint, pin functions, and control protocol-enabling hardware reuse and simplified migration paths without PCB redesign for the LTC1603IG#TRPBF.
