Product details
Overview
LTC1605CN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 100ksps sampling analog-to-digital converter with ±10V bipolar input range, internal 2.5V reference, and parallel 16-bit two's complement output. It operates from a single 5V supply, draws 55mW typical power, and guarantees no missing codes across 0°C to 70°C. It is used in industrial data acquisition systems requiring high DC accuracy and stable timing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1605CN#PBF datasheet, LTC1605CN#PBF pinout, LTC1605CN#PBF application, or LTC1605CN#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed industrial use cases, and two technically documented alternative ADCs for 16-bit, 100ksps bipolar sampling applications.
Technical Context
The LTC1605CN#PBF implements a switched-capacitor successive approximation architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, precision bandgap reference, and trimmed internal clock - eliminating external timing components. Its analog front-end supports ±25V overvoltage protection and features 20kΩ input impedance with 10pF capacitance.
Digital interface uses microprocessor-compatible parallel bus with CS/R/C control logic, BUSY status flag, and BYTE-selectable MSB-first or LSB-first 8-bit byte readout. Conversion timing is deterministic: 8µs max conversion time, 2µs acquisition time, and guaranteed 100ksps throughput under full temperature range.

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), through-hole mounting, 0°C to 70°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Analog input node | Accepts ±10V differential input referenced to AGND1/AGND2; protected to ±25V |
| AGND1 / AGND2 (Pins 2, 5) | Analog ground connections | Separate low-noise return paths for analog circuitry; must be tied together at single point |
| REF (Pin 3) | 2.5V reference output | Factory-trimmed bandgap voltage source; bypass with 2.2µF tantalum for stability |
| CAP (Pin 4) | Reference buffer output | Drives internal DAC; capable of <2mA DC load; decoupling critical for noise performance |
| D15–D0 (Pins 6–13, 15–22) | Three-state parallel data outputs | 16-bit two's complement code; Hi-Z when CS high or R/C low; byte-swappable via BYTE pin |
| BYTE (Pin 23) | Data bus configuration control | Selects MSB-first (BYTE low) or LSB-first (BYTE high) 8-bit byte readout sequence |
| R/C (Pin 24) | Read/Convert control input | Falling edge initiates conversion when CS is low; rising edge enables data output |
| CS (Pin 25) | Chip select input | OR'd with R/C; falling edge starts conversion if R/C is low, or enables output if R/C is high |
| BUSY (Pin 26) | Status output | Active-low during conversion; rising edge indicates valid data ready for latching |
| VANA / VDIG (Pins 27–28) | Analog and digital supply inputs | Both require 4.75V–5.25V; VDIG connected directly to VANA; separate bypassing required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit, 100ksps sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7805UB | 16-bit, 100ksps, ±10V input, but requires external reference and clock; no internal reference or clock | Needs external 2.5V ref and 1MHz clock source - increases component count and layout sensitivity | Choose when external reference calibration or clock synchronization with other system clocks is required |
| AD976ARZ | 16-bit, 100ksps, ±10V input, internal reference, but uses serial SPI interface instead of parallel bus | Lacks native 16-bit parallel output - requires FPGA/MCU bit-banging or dedicated SPI controller | Prefer when board space is constrained and serial interface simplifies routing over wide parallel buses |
Compared with ADS7805UB and AD976ARZ, the LTC1605CN#PBF offers integrated timing and reference with minimal external components, while maintaining pin-compatible functionality with legacy Linear ADC designs - making it optimal for drop-in upgrades in existing 16-bit DAQ hardware.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1605CN#PBF?
The LTC1605CN#PBF is rated for an operating ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix in its part number. This commercial-grade specification applies to the 28-lead PDIP package variant and is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet. All DC and dynamic performance parameters - including ±2.0LSB INL, 100ksps sampling, and 87.5dB SINAD - are guaranteed across this full range. The LTC1605CN#PBF does not support extended industrial or automotive temperature grades.
Does the LTC1605CN#PBF require an external clock or reference to operate?
No, the LTC1605CN#PBF does not require an external clock or reference to operate. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference and a synchronized internal clock optimized for 100ksps throughput. The internal reference establishes the ±10V full-scale input range (±4 × VREF), and the internal clock ensures deterministic 8µs conversion time without external timing components. An external reference may be applied to REF or CAP pins only if higher temperature stability or absolute accuracy is needed beyond the internal reference's ±5ppm/°C tempco.
How is the 16-bit output data formatted on the LTC1605CN#PBF?
The LTC1605CN#PBF outputs data in two's complement format, supporting both 16-bit word and two 8-bit byte read modes. When BYTE = low, D15–D8 carry the MSB byte and D7–D0 carry the LSB byte. When BYTE = high, the byte order swaps: D15–D8 output the LSB byte and D7–D0 output the MSB byte. Data becomes valid on the rising edge of BUSY, and the outputs enter high-impedance state when CS is high or R/C is low - enabling direct connection to shared microprocessor data buses without additional bus transceivers.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for analog input voltage on the LTC1605CN#PBF?
The absolute maximum analog input voltage rating for the LTC1605CN#PBF is ±25V on VIN (Pin 1), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This overvoltage protection remains functional even when the device is unpowered. Operation within the recommended ±10V input range ensures full DC and AC performance compliance, including ±2.0LSB INL and 87.5dB SINAD. Exceeding ±25V risks permanent damage due to internal ESD diode clamping limits, and sustained input voltages outside ±10V degrade linearity and noise performance even if below absolute max.
Can the LTC1605CN#PBF be used with a 3.3V digital interface?
No, the LTC1605CN#PBF cannot be interfaced directly with a 3.3V digital system. Its digital I/O pins (CS, R/C, BUSY, D15–D0, BYTE) are specified for 4.75V–5.25V operation, with VIH = 2.4V min and VOL = 0.10V max at VDD = 4.75V. Driving inputs with 3.3V logic violates the minimum high-level input voltage requirement and risks unreliable operation. Interfacing with 3.3V controllers requires level-shifting circuitry - such as dual-supply translators (e.g., TXB0108) or resistor-divider + Schmitt-trigger buffers - to ensure compatible voltage thresholds and drive strength.
