Product details
Overview
LTC1606AISW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation ADC with ±10V bipolar input range, internal 2.5V reference and 4.096V buffered CAP output, operating from a single 5V supply. It delivers ±2.0LSB max INL, 90dB typical SINAD, and guaranteed no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C - deployed in industrial data acquisition and precision digital signal processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1606AISW#PBF datasheet, LTC1606AISW#PBF pinout, LTC1606AISW#PBF application, or LTC1606AISW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5µs conversion time, 0.65LSB RMS transition noise, microprocessor-compatible 16-bit parallel interface with BYTE-selectable byte ordering, and dual analog/digital ground separation for high-precision DC and AC performance.
Technical Context
The LTC1606AISW#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, factory-trimmed bandgap reference, and internal synchronized clock - eliminating external timing components. Its 16-bit capacitive DAC and auto-zero comparator enable precise two's complement digitization of ±10V inputs without external calibration.
It supports dual operation modes: R/C-triggered conversion with CS held low, or CS-triggered conversion with R/C pre-asserted. BUSY signaling and three-state outputs (D15–D0) simplify interfacing to FIFOs, DSPs, and microprocessors while maintaining isolation between analog and digital domains via separate AGND1/AGND2 and DGND pins.
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 - enables 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. |
| SINAD / SNR | 90dB typical - ensures >14.7 effective bits at 1kHz, critical for high-fidelity measurement systems. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±2.0LSB max - maintains monotonicity and accuracy across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). |
| Power Dissipation | 75mW typical at 5V - enables dense mixed-signal board layouts without thermal derating concerns. |
| Conversion Time | 2.5µs - defines minimum inter-conversion interval of 4µs, supporting deterministic timing control. |
| Reference Options | Internal 2.5V ±5ppm/°C or external 2.3V–2.7V - allows trade-off between simplicity and long-term stability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SO (Wide, 0.300") - RoHS-compliant, lead-free (PBF), suitable for automated SMT assembly and industrial thermal cycling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Analog Input | ±10V differential input node; protected to ±25V; requires 200Ω series resistor per layout guidelines. |
| AGND1 (2), AGND2 (5) | Analog Ground | Separate return paths for reference and input circuitry; must tie to low-impedance analog ground plane. |
| REF (3) | 2.5V Reference Output | Factory-trimmed bandgap source; bypass with 2.2µF tantalum; can be overdriven by external reference. |
| CAP (4) | 4.096V Buffered Reference | 1.64× amplified REF output; drives internal DAC; bypass with 10µF tantalum; <2mA DC load only. |
| D15–D0 (6–13, 15–22) | Three-State Data Outputs | 16-bit parallel bus; MSB/LSB order configurable via BYTE pin; Hi-Z when CS high or R/C low. |
| BYTE (23) | Byte Ordering Control | Selects MSB-first (BYTE = low) or LSB-first (BYTE = high) byte sequencing on D15–D0 pins. |
| R/C (24) | Read/Convert Input | Falling edge initiates conversion when CS is low; rising edge enables data output after conversion. |
| CS (25) | Chip Select | Active-low enable; OR'd with R/C; falling edge triggers conversion or data read depending on R/C state. |
| BUSY (26) | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain output; goes high at end of conversion; rising edge indicates valid data. |
| VANA (27), VDIG (28) | Analog/Digital Supplies | Both require 4.75V–5.25V; VDIG tied directly to VANA; decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Precision Reference | 2.500V ±0.2% initial accuracy, ±5ppm/°C tempco - eliminates need for external reference IC in most applications. |
| Low Transition Noise | 0.65LSB RMS - reduces histogram spread and improves repeatability in DC-critical measurements. |
| Overvoltage Protected Input | Withstands ±25V on VIN - prevents latch-up during sensor fault conditions or hot-plug events. |
| Two-Mode Digital Interface | Supports both R/C-initiated and CS-initiated timing - simplifies integration with diverse host controllers. |
| Separate Analog/Digital Grounds | Dedicated AGND1, AGND2, and DGND pins - enables star-grounding strategy to minimize ground bounce. |
| Factory-Trimmed DC Accuracy | ±2.0LSB INL, ±10mV bipolar zero error - meets Class A instrumentation requirements without field calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7805U | 16-bit, 100ksps, ±10V input, external reference required; no internal CAP buffer or BYTE control. | Lacks integrated reference and flexible byte ordering; requires external 2.5V ref and additional decoupling. | Choose when lower throughput suffices and system already provides precision reference infrastructure. |
| AD976ARZ | 16-bit, 200ksps, ±10V input, internal reference, but uses serial SPI interface instead of parallel bus. | Requires software-managed SPI framing and lacks hardware BUSY/R/C handshake for deterministic timing. | Prefer when board space is constrained and microcontroller has dedicated SPI peripherals with DMA support. |
Compared with ADS7805U and AD976ARZ, the LTC1606AISW#PBF uniquely combines 250ksps parallel throughput, integrated dual-reference architecture, and hardware-controlled timing - reducing BOM count and firmware overhead in high-channel-count industrial DAQ designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1606AISW#PBF?
The LTC1606AISW#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation (industrial grade). All key specifications - including ±2.0LSB INL, 90dB SINAD, and no missing codes - are guaranteed across this full range, making it suitable for harsh environments like factory floors and outdoor instrumentation enclosures.
Does the LTC1606AISW#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1606AISW#PBF includes a fully trimmed internal clock that delivers a typical 2.5µs conversion time and supports 250ksps sampling without any external timing components. This simplifies PCB layout and eliminates clock jitter sensitivity inherent in externally clocked ADCs.
How does the BYTE pin affect data output on the LTC1606AISW#PBF?
The BYTE pin on the LTC1606AISW#PBF selects byte ordering: when LOW, D15–D8 output the MSB byte and D7–D0 output the LSB byte; when HIGH, D15–D8 output the LSB byte and D7–D0 output the MSB byte. This enables seamless compatibility with both big-endian and little-endian microprocessor buses.
Can the LTC1606AISW#PBF operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1606AISW#PBF accepts an external reference between 2.3V and 2.7V applied to the REF pin. When used, the internal reference is disabled, and the full-scale range becomes ±4×VREF. This allows improved temperature stability using ultra-low-drift references like LT1461 or ADR4525.
What is the purpose of the CAP pin on the LTC1606AISW#PBF?
The CAP pin on the LTC1606AISW#PBF provides a buffered 4.096V output (1.64× REF) that drives the internal DAC array. It must be bypassed with a 10µF tantalum capacitor and supports ≤2mA DC load. Driving AC loads or exceeding this current degrades AC performance and is not recommended.
