Product details
Overview
LTC1606ISW#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive-approximation ADC operating from a single 5V supply. It features ±10V bipolar input range, internal 2.5V reference and 4.096V buffered CAP output, ±2.0LSB max INL, and 90dB typical SNR - deployed in industrial process control and high-speed PC-based data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1606ISW#PBF datasheet, LTC1606ISW#PBF pinout, LTC1606ISW#PBF application, or LTC1606ISW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no missing codes over temperature, microprocessor-compatible 16-bit parallel interface with BUSY/CS/R/C control, and support for both internal and external reference configurations.
Technical Context
The LTC1606ISW#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, precision bandgap reference, and factory-trimmed internal clock. Its analog front-end includes auto-zeroing switches and a 10kΩ input impedance, requiring low-impedance signal sources and careful decoupling of REF (2.2µF) and CAP (10µF) pins.
Digital interface supports two operational modes: R/C-triggered conversion with CS held low, or CS-triggered conversion with R/C pre-asserted. Output data is two's complement format, readable as 16-bit word or byte-swapped 8-bit pairs via BYTE pin control - enabling direct interfacing to FIFOs, DSPs, and 8-/16-bit microprocessors.

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SO (Wide, 0.300") - RoHS-compliant, lead-free (PBF), JEDEC MS-013AC compliant, θJA = 130°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Analog Input | ±10V differential input node; protected to ±25V; requires 200Ω series resistor per layout guidance |
| AGND1 (2), AGND2 (5) | Analog Ground | Separate analog ground returns; must be tied together and connected to low-impedance analog plane |
| REF (3) | 2.5V Reference Output | Factory-trimmed bandgap reference; bypass with 2.2µF tantalum; can be overdriven by external reference |
| CAP (4) | 4.096V Buffered Reference Output | 1.64× scaled output of REF; drives internal DAC; bypass with 10µF tantalum; DC load only (<2mA) |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1606ISW#PBF?
The LTC1606ISW#PBF is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. All key specifications - including ±2.0LSB INL, no missing codes, and 90dB SNR - are guaranteed across this full range, making it suitable for harsh environments such as factory floors and outdoor instrumentation.
Can the LTC1606ISW#PBF operate with an external reference instead of the internal one?
Yes, the LTC1606ISW#PBF supports external reference operation: drive the REF pin with a precision voltage (2.30V–2.70V) while disabling the internal reference. This configuration improves temperature drift performance - e.g., using LT1461 (0.04% max initial error, 10ppm/°C) achieves tighter full-scale accuracy than the internal 2.5V reference alone.
How does the BYTE pin affect data output formatting on the LTC1606ISW#PBF?
The BYTE pin on the LTC1606ISW#PBF selects between two parallel output formats: when LOW, D15–D8 carry MSBs and D7–D0 carry LSBs; when HIGH, D15–D8 carry LSBs and D7–D0 carry MSBs. This allows seamless integration with both 16-bit microprocessors and 8-bit buses without external logic or software byte-swapping.
What decoupling is required for optimal performance of the LTC1606ISW#PBF?
For optimal performance, the LTC1606ISW#PBF requires: (1) 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum on VANA and VDIG (shared); (2) 2.2µF tantalum on REF; (3) 10µF tantalum on CAP. All capacitors must be placed within 5mm of respective pins, with wide, low-inductance ground traces - failure to follow degrades SNR and increases transition noise beyond 0.65LSB.
Is the LTC1606ISW#PBF pin-compatible with earlier LTC1606 variants like LTC1606CSW?
Yes, the LTC1606ISW#PBF shares identical 28-pin SO (SW) package, pinout, and electrical interface with all LTC1606xSW variants (e.g., LTC1606CSW, LTC1606ACSW). The 'I' suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C), while 'C' denotes commercial (0°C to +70°C); functionally and physically interchangeable in same-temperature designs.
