Product details
Overview
LTC1609CG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 200ksps serial analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold, precision 2.5V reference, and internal clock. It supports ±10V, ±5V, ±3.3V bipolar and 0V–10V, 0V–5V, 0V–4V unipolar input ranges, delivers ±2LSB INL and 87dB typical SNR, and operates from a single 5V supply drawing 65mW. It is used in high-speed industrial data acquisition systems requiring stable DC accuracy and low noise.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1609CG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1609CG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1609CG#TRPBF application, or LTC1609CG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no missing codes over temperature, support for both internal and external reference configurations, compatibility with microprocessor/DSP serial interfaces via BUSY/CS/R/C control, and availability in 28-pin SSOP package with defined analog/digital ground separation.
Technical Context
The LTC1609CG#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor successive approximation architecture with auto-zeroed comparator and 16-bit capacitive DAC. Its conversion cycle comprises a 2µs acquisition phase followed by a 3µs conversion phase, achieving full 5µs throughput time at 200ksps.
It features dual serial interface modes: internal clock mode (DATACLK outputting 16 pulses per conversion) and external clock mode (DATACLK as input synchronized to EXT/INT pin), with configurable straight-binary or two's-complement output format selected via SB/BTC pin.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7809U | 16-bit, 100ksps, 5V supply, SPI-compatible interface; lacks internal reference and CAP/REF pins | Requires external 2.5V reference and more board space; lower speed limits use in high-throughput systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and integration needs |
| AD977ARZ | 16-bit, 100ksps, 5V supply, parallel/serial interface; includes internal reference but no SB/BTC format select | Fixed two's-complement output only; larger 28-lead SOIC package increases layout area | Select when legacy parallel bus interface is required and bipolar-only operation suffices |
Compared with ADS7809U and AD977ARZ, the LTC1609CG#TRPBF offers 2× higher sample rate, integrated reference with buffered CAP output, and flexible data-format selection-making it optimal for new designs prioritizing compactness, mixed-range support, and microcontroller-friendly serial timing.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the LTC1609CG#TRPBF support?
The LTC1609CG#TRPBF supports six factory-specified input ranges: bipolar ±10V, ±5V, ±3.3V and unipolar 0V–10V, 0V–5V, 0V–4V. Range selection is accomplished by connecting external resistors between R1IN, R2IN, R3IN, AGND1, AGND2, and CAP pins per Tables 1a and 1b in the datasheet. Each configuration defines a specific input impedance (e.g., 22.9kΩ for ±10V) and scaling network.
How does the LTC1609CG#TRPBF handle reference voltage sourcing?
The LTC1609CG#TRPBF integrates a factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference with ±5ppm/°C tempco, accessible at the REF pin. The buffered CAP pin drives the internal DAC and supports ≤2mA DC loads. An external reference (2.3V–2.7V) may overwrite the internal reference when applied to REF, enabling higher accuracy in metrology-grade systems where the LTC1609CG#TRPBF's linearity remains fully guaranteed.
What is the function of the SB/BTC and EXT/INT pins on the LTC1609CG#TRPBF?
SB/BTC selects output data format: high = straight binary (for unipolar ranges), low = two's complement (for bipolar ranges). EXT/INT selects serial clock source: high = external clock applied to DATACLK pin, low = internal clock output on DATACLK. These pins allow the LTC1609CG#TRPBF to interface natively with both microcontrollers (internal clock, binary) and DSPs/FPGAs (external clock, two's complement) without level-shifting or protocol translation.
Can the LTC1609CG#TRPBF be used in power-constrained applications?
Yes-the LTC1609CG#TRPBF draws only 65mW typical during active conversion and reduces to 50µW in power-down mode when PWRD is high. In shutdown, the internal reference and buffer are disabled, but the last conversion result remains latched in the 16-bit shift register for readout after wake-up. Recovery time depends on external capacitor recharge, typically <1ms with recommended 2.2µF tantalum on CAP/REF.
Does the LTC1609CG#TRPBF require separate analog and digital ground connections?
Yes-the LTC1609CG#TRPBF has three dedicated ground terminals: AGND1 (pin 2), AGND2 (pin 7), and DGND (pin 10). AGND1 and AGND2 serve the analog front-end and reference circuitry; DGND serves digital I/O. All must be tied to a common system ground at a single point to prevent ground-loop-induced offset errors. Layout best practice is a split ground plane with bridge at the device footprint.
