Product details
Overview
LTC1609IG#PBF 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 operates from a single 5V supply, delivers ±2LSB INL and guaranteed no missing codes over temperature, and supports bipolar (±10V/±5V/±3.3V) and unipolar (0V–10V/0V–5V/0V–4V) input ranges. It is used in high-speed industrial data acquisition systems requiring stable DC accuracy and low power.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1609IG#PBF datasheet, LTC1609IG#PBF pinout, LTC1609IG#PBF application, or LTC1609IG#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 28-pin SSOP package, dual ground separation (AGND1/AGND2/DGND), SB/BTC format control, EXT/INT clock select, and guaranteed 87dB SNR at 200ksps - all critical for noise-sensitive mixed-signal designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1609IG#PBF employs a switched-capacitor successive approximation architecture with auto-zeroed comparator and 16-bit capacitive DAC. Its conversion cycle includes a 2µs acquisition phase followed by a 3µs conversion time, achieving full throughput in 5µs. Internal trimming ensures ±2LSB integral linearity error across –40°C to +85°C.
It features dual-domain grounding (separate AGND1, AGND2, DGND), configurable output coding (straight binary or two's complement via SB/BTC), and flexible serial interface timing - supporting either internal DATACLK generation or external clock synchronization via EXT/INT. The CAP pin provides buffered 2.5V reference output with 2.2µF tantalum decoupling requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 1 LSB = 153 µV for ±5V range, enabling sub-millivolt measurement fidelity |
| Sample Rate | 200 ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 100 kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| INL | ±2 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.003% full-scale linearity error over temperature |
| SNR | 87 dB typical - achieves 14.2 effective bits (ENOB) at 1 kHz input, suitable for precision instrumentation |
| Power Dissipation | 65 mW typical at 200 ksps - enables thermally constrained embedded systems without forced cooling |
| Input Ranges | ±10V, ±5V, ±3.3V, 0–10V, 0–5V, 0–4V - selectable via external resistor networks on R1IN/R2IN/R3IN pins |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±0.2% trimmed bandgap - eliminates need for external reference unless higher accuracy required |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 0.209" body width, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Requires separate analog (AGND1, AGND2) and digital (DGND) ground planes with star-point connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| R1IN, R2IN, R3IN | Analog input terminals | Configurable for six input ranges via external resistor dividers; overvoltage protected to ±25V |
| AGND1, AGND2 | Analog ground references | Separate return paths for input stage and reference buffer; must be tied together at single point near device |
| CAP | Reference buffer output | Provides 2.5 V buffered reference for internal DAC; requires 2.2 µF tantalum bypass to AGND2 |
| REF | Reference voltage output | 2.5 V bandgap source; can be overdriven by external reference for improved accuracy |
| SB/BTC | Data format select | High = straight binary (0–65535); low = two's complement (−32768 to +32767) |
| EXT/INT | Serial clock source select | High = external DATACLK used; low = internal clock drives DATACLK during conversion |
| R/C | Read/Convert control | Falling edge (with CS low) initiates conversion; rising edge enables serial output |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-low signal; data valid on rising edge; used for handshaking with FIFOs or microcontrollers |
| PWRD | Power-down enable | High = shutdown mode (50 µW); retains last conversion result in shift register |
| VANA, VDIG | Analog/digital supplies | Both require 4.75–5.25 V; VDIG connected directly to VANA; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed no missing codes | Ensures monotonic response across full 16-bit range - essential for closed-loop control and servo applications |
| Integrated 2.5 V reference with ±5 ppm/°C tempco | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout complexity while maintaining <0.01% drift over –40°C to +85°C |
| Configurable input ranges via pin-strapping | Supports six standard ranges using only three resistors - reduces BOM count and simplifies range-switching firmware |
| Separate analog and digital grounds | Minimizes digital switching noise coupling into sensitive analog front-end - critical for achieving 87 dB SNR |
| Power-down mode with data retention | Reduces idle power to 50 µW while preserving last conversion result - ideal for battery-powered DAQ nodes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7809UB | 16-bit, 100 ksps, single-supply 5V, but lacks internal reference and requires external 2.5V ref; 24-pin SOIC package | Lower throughput and no integrated reference increase BOM cost and layout area; suited for cost-sensitive, lower-speed systems | Select ADS7809UB only if throughput ≤100 ksps suffices and external reference is already present in design |
| AD977AARZ | 16-bit, 100 ksps, ±5V dual supply required; includes internal reference but no SB/BTC format control; 28-pin SOIC | Dual-supply operation complicates power design; fixed two's complement output limits flexibility in microcontroller interfacing | Choose AD977AARZ when legacy ±5V analog rails exist and straight-binary output is not required |
Compared with LTC1609IG#PBF, ADS7809UB trades throughput and integration for lower unit cost, while AD977AARZ sacrifices speed and supply simplicity for mature process reliability - making LTC1609IG#PBF optimal for new 5V, high-fidelity, space-constrained DAQ designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1609IG#PBF?
The LTC1609IG#PBF is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed by the "I" grade suffix in the part number and specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. All key AC and DC performance parameters - including ±2 LSB INL, 87 dB SNR, and 200 ksps throughput - are guaranteed across this full range, making LTC1609IG#PBF suitable for harsh environments such as factory automation and outdoor monitoring equipment.
Does the LTC1609IG#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1609IG#PBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5 V internal bandgap reference with ±5 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The REF pin provides direct access to this reference, and the CAP pin delivers a buffered version for driving the internal DAC. An external reference may be applied to REF only if higher initial accuracy or lower long-term drift is required - but it is not necessary for standard operation of LTC1609IG#PBF.
How is the input range selected on the LTC1609IG#PBF?
The LTC1609IG#PBF supports six input ranges (±10V, ±5V, ±3.3V, 0–10V, 0–5V, 0–4V) by configuring external resistors on R1IN, R2IN, and R3IN pins as defined in Tables 1a and 1b of the datasheet. No configuration registers or digital commands are needed - range selection is purely hardware-based via resistor networks, ensuring deterministic behavior and eliminating firmware dependencies in LTC1609IG#PBF-based systems.
Can the LTC1609IG#PBF interface directly with an FPGA or microcontroller SPI port?
Yes, the LTC1609IG#PBF supports SPI-compatible serial communication using CS, DATACLK, DATA, and BUSY signals. While not a true SPI slave (no MOSI/MISO naming), its timing - including t10 setup (15 ns) and t11 hold (40 ns) - meets standard 5V-tolerant MCU/FPGA interface requirements. The BUSY signal provides ready-to-read indication, and SYNC enables precise frame alignment - enabling robust, low-glitch interfacing with LTC1609IG#PBF in real-time embedded systems.
What is the purpose of the TAG pin on the LTC1609IG#PBF?
The TAG pin on the LTC1609IG#PBF enables daisy-chained serial output in external clock mode (EXT/INT = high). When CS is low and R/C is high after conversion, the level present on TAG at conversion start is shifted out on the DATA line after the 16-bit result. This allows multiple LTC1609IG#PBF devices to share a single DATACLK and DATA line, with each contributing its conversion result plus a unique tag - simplifying multi-channel expansion without additional control lines.
