Product details
Overview
LTC1606IG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with ±10V bipolar input range, internal 2.5V reference and 4.096V buffered CAP output, operating from a single 5V supply. It integrates sample-and-hold, trimmed internal clock, and microprocessor-compatible 16-bit parallel output - used in high-accuracy industrial data acquisition systems requiring stable DC specs and low transition noise.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1606IG#PBF datasheet, LTC1606IG#PBF pinout, LTC1606IG#PBF application, or LTC1606IG#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no missing codes over temperature, ±2.0LSB max INL, 90dB SNR, 0.65LSB RMS transition noise, and support for internal/external reference configurations.
Technical Context
The LTC1606IG#PBF implements a 16-bit capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with auto-zeroed comparator and internal synchronized clock. Its analog front-end includes precision 2.5V bandgap reference, 1.64× buffered CAP output (4.096V), and overvoltage-protected ±25V input tolerance.
Digital interface supports two operational modes: R/C-controlled conversion with CS held low, or CS-triggered conversion with R/C pre-asserted; BUSY indicates conversion status, BYTE selects MSB-first or byte-swapped output format on D15–D0 pins.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7805UB | 16-bit, 100ksps, ±10V input, 85dB SNR, requires external reference and clock | Lower speed and SNR; suited for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth systems | Select when throughput <100ksps suffices and external reference flexibility is preferred |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1606IG#PBF?
The LTC1606IG#PBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all DC and AC specifications marked with the ● symbol, including ±2.0LSB INL, no missing codes, and 75mW power dissipation. The "I" grade designation explicitly denotes this extended temperature capability.
Does the LTC1606IG#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC1606IG#PBF does not require an external clock. It includes a factory-trimmed internal clock that delivers a typical conversion time of 2.5µs and guarantees 250ksps throughput with no external components. The internal clock eliminates timing jitter from external sources and simplifies system design compared to ADCs requiring precise external clock distribution.
How is the reference configured on the LTC1606IG#PBF?
The LTC1606IG#PBF features a 2.5V internal bandgap reference available at the REF pin and a 4.096V buffered output at the CAP pin. An external reference can be applied to REF to improve temperature drift performance beyond the internal ±5ppm/°C spec. When using the internal reference, REF must be bypassed with 2.2µF and CAP with 10µF tantalum capacitors per the datasheet layout guidelines.
What does the "#PBF" suffix indicate in LTC1606IG#PBF?
"#PBF" denotes lead-free (Pb-free) packaging per JEDEC J-STD-609 standards. The LTC1606IG#PBF uses matte tin lead finish on its SSOP leads and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This suffix replaces older "#TR" (tape & reel) or non-RoHS variants and confirms full environmental compliance for modern manufacturing lines.
Can the LTC1606IG#PBF interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller bus?
Yes, the LTC1606IG#PBF supports 8-bit interfacing via the BYTE pin. When BYTE is high, the upper and lower bytes are swapped: D7–D0 output the MSB byte and D15–D8 output the LSB byte. This allows sequential 8-bit reads without external latches or glue logic - enabling direct connection to legacy 8-bit processors like the 8051 or PIC18 while retaining full 16-bit resolution.
