Product details
Overview
LTC1609CSW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired 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 operates from a single 5V supply, supports ±10V/±5V/±3.3V bipolar and 0V–10V/0V–5V/0V–4V unipolar input ranges, and delivers ±2LSB INL, 87dB typical SNR, and guaranteed no missing codes over temperature. It is used in high-speed industrial data acquisition systems requiring stable DC accuracy and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1609CSW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1609CSW#TRPBF application, or LTC1609CSW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-pin SO package, dual-mode serial interface (internal/external DATACLK), SB/BTC format select, EXT/INT clock source control, and support for external reference injection at REF/CAP pins.
Technical Context
The LTC1609CSW#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor successive approximation architecture with auto-zeroed comparator and 16-bit capacitive DAC. Its sample-and-hold acquires input signals within 2µs, and conversion completes in 3µs with 5µs total throughput time.
It features dual ground domains (AGND1/AGND2/DGND), separate analog (VANA) and digital (VDIG) 5V supplies, and configurable data output format (straight binary or two's complement) via SB/BTC pin. The internal 2.5V reference has ±5ppm/°C tempco and can be overdriven by an external reference.

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic SO (SOIC-20), 0.300" wide, JEDEC MS-013AC. Pin pitch: 0.050", body dimensions: 0.300" × 0.220". Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| R1IN | Analog Input Channel 1 | Primary analog input terminal; configured with R2IN/R3IN and external resistors for six selectable input ranges. |
| AGND1 | Analog Ground 1 | Dedicated analog return path for R1IN/R2IN/R3IN; must connect to clean analog ground plane. |
| R2IN | Analog Input Channel 2 | Secondary analog input terminal; used with R1IN/R3IN to set gain/offset per Table 1a/1b. |
| R3IN | Analog Input Channel 3 | Third analog input terminal; completes resistor network for bipolar/unipolar range selection. |
| CAP | Reference Buffer Output | Drives internal DAC; requires 2.2µF tantalum bypass to AGND2 for low-noise operation. |
| REF | 2.5V Reference Output | Factory-trimmed bandgap reference; can be overdriven by external reference for improved accuracy. |
| AGND2 | Analog Ground 2 | Return for CAP/REF; isolated from AGND1 to minimize reference noise coupling. |
| SB/BTC | Data Format Select | High = straight binary (0V–10V); Low = two's complement (±10V); sets DATA output coding convention. |
| EXT/INT | Serial Clock Source Select | High = external DATACLK input; Low = internal clock output on DATACLK pin during conversion. |
| DGND | Digital Ground | Return for CS, R/C, BUSY, DATA, DATACLK, SYNC, TAG; separated from analog grounds to prevent noise injection. |
| VDIG | Digital Supply | +5V digital rail; must tie directly to VANA to ensure logic-level compatibility and reduce supply noise. |
| VANA | Analog Supply | +5V analog rail; bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| PWRD | Power-Down Control | High = enter ultra-low-power mode (50µW); retains last conversion result in shift register. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain output; goes low at conversion start, rises when 16-bit result is ready in shift register. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; falling edge (with R/C high) initiates conversion or enables serial output. |
| R/C | Read/Convert Control | Falling edge (with CS low) starts conversion; rising edge enables serial data output after conversion. |
| TAG | Serial Data Tag Input | In EXT/INT = high mode, injected into DATA stream after 16-bit result for daisy-chained multi-ADC systems. |
| DATA | Serial Data Output | MSB-first 16-bit output; format determined by SB/BTC; valid relative to DATACLK edges per timing specs. |
| DATACLK | Serial Clock I/O | Input when EXT/INT = high; output (16 pulses) when EXT/INT = low; defines DATA timing window. |
| SYNC | Synchronization Pulse Output | Provides timing marker aligned to DATACLK edge; used to coordinate multiple ADCs or external logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2.5V reference with ±5ppm/°C tempco | Eliminates need for external reference IC while maintaining <±0.01% full-scale drift over –40°C to +85°C. |
| Configurable input ranges (6 options) | Reduces BOM count and PCB footprint by supporting diverse sensor outputs (e.g., ±10V industrial transducers, 0–5V microcontroller sensors) without external op-amp scaling. |
| Two serial interface modes (internal/external clock) | Enables flexible system integration: internal clock simplifies host interface; external clock allows precise timing synchronization across multiple converters. |
| Separate analog/digital grounds and supplies | Minimizes digital switching noise coupling into analog path, preserving 87dB SNR performance in mixed-signal environments. |
| Power-down mode with data retention | Permits low-duty-cycle operation in portable or remote monitoring systems while preserving last valid conversion result for immediate readout on wake-up. |

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF support?
The LTC1609CSW#TRPBF supports six factory-configured input ranges: bipolar ±10V, ±5V, ±3.3V and unipolar 0V–10V, 0V–5V, 0V–4V. These are selected by connecting R1IN, R2IN, and R3IN to AGND, VIN, or CAP with specified external resistors per Tables 1a and 1b in the datasheet. Each range has defined nominal input impedance (e.g., 22.9kΩ for ±10V) and guaranteed linearity performance.
How does the SB/BTC pin affect the output data format of the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF?
The SB/BTC pin on the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF selects between straight binary (pin high) and two's complement (pin low) output coding. Straight binary is used for unipolar ranges (e.g., 0V–10V), where 0x0000 = 0V and 0xFFFF ≈ full scale. Two's complement is used for bipolar ranges (e.g., ±10V), where 0x8000 = 0V, 0x0000 = –10V, and 0xFFFF = +10V – 1LSB. This mapping is fixed per input range configuration and cannot be changed mid-conversion.
Can the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF use an external reference, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF supports external reference injection at the REF pin. The device specifies 2.30V to 2.70V external reference voltage range with ≤100µA current draw at 2.5V. External references must be low-noise, low-drift (e.g., LT1019, ADR441), and bypassed with ≥2.2µF tantalum at REF and CAP. Using an external reference overrides the internal 2.5V bandgap and improves full-scale accuracy and tempco beyond factory specifications.
What is the purpose of the TAG pin on the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF?
The TAG pin on the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF serves as a serial data tag input in external clock mode (EXT/INT = high). When CS is low and R/C is high after 16-bit DATA transmission, the logic level present on TAG is shifted out as the 17th bit. This enables daisy-chaining multiple LTC1609CSW#TRPBF devices on a shared DATACLK and DATA line, allowing a host controller to identify which ADC generated each data word without additional address lines or chip-select signals.
Does the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF require external passive components for stable operation?
Yes, the LTC1609CSW#TRPBF requires specific external passives: 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum on VANA; 2.2µF tantalum on both REF and CAP; 1000pF NPO capacitor at each analog input (R1IN/R2IN/R3IN) for noise filtering; and 33.2kΩ resistor between CAP and R2IN for ±3.3V range attenuation. These values are specified in the datasheet for guaranteed AC/DC performance and must be placed close to respective pins per layout guidelines.
