Product details
Overview
LTC1606ACG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter operating from a single 5V supply. It integrates sample-and-hold, internal 2.5V reference, 4.096V buffered CAP output, and trimmed clock. Its ±10V bipolar input range, ±2.0LSB INL (max), 90dB SNR (typ), and guaranteed no missing codes make it suitable for precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring high DC accuracy and dynamic performance.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1606ACG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1606ACG#TRPBF application, or LTC1606ACG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin SSOP package, microprocessor-compatible 16-bit parallel interface with BYTE control, BUSY status signaling, and support for both internal and external reference configurations in demanding analog front-end designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1606ACG#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with auto-zeroed comparator and 16-bit capacitive DAC. Its internal timing uses a factory-trimmed oscillator enabling fixed 2.5µs conversion time and 1.5µs acquisition time - ensuring deterministic 250ksps throughput without external clock management.
It features dual ground separation (AGND1, AGND2, DGND), dedicated analog (VANA) and digital (VDIG) 5V supplies, and three-state parallel outputs (D15–D0) controlled by CS and R/C. The BYTE pin enables flexible 16-bit or two-byte read sequencing, while BUSY provides synchronous status for FIFO or DSP interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 distinct output codes with guaranteed no missing codes over temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Input Range | ±10V bipolar - compatible with standard industrial sensor outputs and PLC-level signal conditioning. |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 90dB typ - enables >15-bit effective resolution (ENOB ≈ 14.7 bits) at 1kHz input. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±2.0LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.003% full-scale linearity error for calibration-critical applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 75mW typ - allows dense placement in thermally constrained industrial modules without forced cooling. |
| Reference Options | Internal 2.5V bandgap (±5ppm/°C) or external reference - supports system-level accuracy optimization. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 5.3mm × 10.2mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Analog Input | ±10V differential input node; requires 200Ω series resistor and local 1000pF NPO filter for optimal noise immunity. |
| AGND1 (2), AGND2 (5) | Analog Ground | Separate low-impedance return paths for reference and input circuitry; must tie to common analog ground plane. |
| REF (3) | 2.5V Reference Output | Factory-trimmed bandgap voltage; bypass with 2.2µF tantalum to stabilize DC accuracy and reduce PSRR sensitivity. |
| CAP (4) | 4.096V Buffered Reference | 1.64× amplified REF output driving internal DAC; bypass with 10µF tantalum; supports ≤2mA DC load only. |
| D15–D0 (6–13, 15–22) | Three-State Data Outputs | 16-bit parallel bus; Hi-Z when CS high or R/C low; byte-order configurable via BYTE pin for 8/16-bit host interfaces. |
| R/C (24) | Read/Convert Control | Falling edge initiates conversion (with CS low); rising edge enables data output; timing-critical (≤1µs return high). |
| CS (25) | Chip Select | Active-low enable; internally OR'd with R/C; falling edge starts conversion or latches output depending on R/C state. |
| BUSY (26) | Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; rising edge marks valid data availability. |
| VANA (27), VDIG (28) | Analog/Digital Supplies | Both require independent 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum decoupling; VDIG must connect directly to VANA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Precision Reference | 2.500V ±3mV (±5ppm/°C) bandgap with curvature correction - eliminates need for external reference in most industrial applications. |
| Low Transition Noise | 0.65LSB RMS - reduces histogram spread and improves repeatability in DC measurement and sensor digitization. |
| Full-Power Bandwidth | 275kHz - supports accurate digitization of fast transients and wideband signals without aliasing distortion. |
| Overvoltage Recovery | 150ns - recovers full AC specs after ±25V input overvoltage events, enhancing robustness in noisy plant environments. |
| Aperture Jitter | Sufficient to meet AC specs - enables clean spectral performance without external clock cleanup circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision, medium-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD976AARZ | 16-bit, 100ksps; requires external reference and clock; higher power (120mW); ±3.5LSB INL (max) | Lower sampling rate limits use in real-time control loops; less integrated (no internal ref/clock) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/accuracy needs and external reference is already present. |
| ADS7805U | 16-bit, 100ksps; single-supply 5V; ±4LSB INL (max); 85dB SNR; no internal reference | Higher INL and lower SNR reduce usable ENOB; requires external 2.5V reference and clock generation | Choose for legacy designs where ADS7805 footprint compatibility is mandatory and 100ksps suffices. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF?
The LTC1606ACG#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). Its DC specifications - including ±2.0LSB INL max and ±10mV bipolar zero error - are guaranteed across this full range. For extended temperature applications, the LTC1606AIG#TRPBF (–40°C to 85°C) is the qualified industrial variant of the same device.
Does the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF does not require an external clock. It includes a fully integrated, factory-trimmed internal oscillator that delivers precise 250ksps sampling with 2.5µs conversion time and 1.5µs acquisition time - eliminating clock routing, jitter concerns, and external component count.
How is the BYTE pin used in the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF interface?
The BYTE pin on the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF configures the 16-bit parallel output format: when LOW, D15–D8 carry MSBs and D7–D0 carry LSBs; when HIGH, the byte order swaps - D15–D8 output LSBs and D7–D0 output MSBs. This enables seamless compatibility with both 16-bit microprocessors and 8-bit controllers using two back-to-back reads.
Can the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF operate with an external reference?
Yes, the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF supports external reference operation. Driving the REF pin with a precision 2.3V–2.7V source overrides the internal 2.5V bandgap, enabling improved temperature stability and absolute accuracy - critical for metrology-grade systems where external references like LT1461 or ADR4525 are employed.
What decoupling is required for optimal performance of the LTC1606ACG#TRPBF?
Optimal performance requires: (1) 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum on VANA/V_DIG (shared); (2) 2.2µF tantalum on REF; (3) 10µF tantalum on CAP; (4) 1000pF NPO capacitor at VIN. All capacitors must be placed within 2mm of respective pins, with wide, low-inductance ground traces to minimize switching noise coupling into the analog path.
