Product details
Overview
LTC1850IFW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 10-bit, 8-channel, 1.25Msps successive-approximation ADC with integrated 8-channel multiplexer, internal 2.5V reference, reference buffer, and parallel 14-bit output (10-bit data + 4-bit MUX address). It supports single-ended/differential inputs, dual gain ranges (1×/2×), unipolar/bipolar operation, and programmable scan sequencing - used in industrial process control data acquisition systems requiring high channel density and low-latency sampling.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1850IFW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1850IFW#TRPBF application, or LTC1850IFW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, 48-pin TSSOP package, 1.25Msps sustained sampling rate, 40mW typical power at 5V, and support for 3V digital interface via separate OVDD supply.
Technical Context
The LTC1850IFW#TRPBF implements a capacitive SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling 1.25Msps conversion with 650ns typical conversion time and 150ns acquisition time. Its programmable sequencer stores up to 16 channel-address-and-configuration entries, supporting repeat scanning and readback of sequence memory.
It features true differential input pairs (CH0–CH1, CH2–CH3, etc.), 60dB CMRR over DC–1MHz, and configurable analog input range via REFCOMP (e.g., ±2.048V bipolar at gain=2). The internal reference buffer provides 4.096V output when driven by 2.5V on REFIN, with ±15ppm/°C tempco and 0.01 LSB/V line regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit, no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 1.25Msps maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to 625kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| INL Error | ±0.25 LSB max (–40°C to +85°C) - ensures <0.025% full-scale accuracy across temperature. |
| Power Dissipation | 40mW typical at 1.25Msps, 5V - supports thermally constrained industrial PCB layouts. |
| Supply Voltages | VDD = 4.75–5.25V; OVDD = 2.7–5.25V - allows direct interfacing to 3V logic without level shifters. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead plastic TSSOP (FW package), 7.0mm × 12.5mm body, 0.5mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected. RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 (Pins 1–8) | Analog Input Channels | Configurable as single-ended vs. differential pairs (e.g., CH0/CH1); COM pin defines common-mode reference. |
| COM (Pin 9) | Analog Input Common | Reference node for single-ended mode; disabled in differential mode (DIFF = 1). |
| REFOUT (Pin 10) | 2.5V Reference Output | Stable internal reference; requires 1µF bypass to AGND for noise immunity. |
| REFCOMP (Pin 12) | Reference Buffer Output | Sets full-scale input span (e.g., 4.096V); drives external circuitry or sets gain via PGA pin. |
| D9/S2 to D0 (Pins 21–30) | Data Outputs | 10-bit conversion result + 4-bit MUX address; three-state, driven from OVDD/OGND rails. |
| BUSY (Pin 33) | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain signal; rising edge indicates data ready for latching. |
| OVDD (Pin 35) | Digital Output Supply | Independent rail (2.7–5.25V) - enables direct connection to 3V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| CONVST (Pin 45) | Conversion Start | Falling-edge triggered; initiates acquisition and conversion cycle without CPU overhead. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Sequencer | Stores 16 channel-address-and-configuration entries (gain, polarity, differential/single-ended) for autonomous multi-channel scanning. |
| Flexible Input Configuration | Per-channel selection of unipolar/bipolar, gain=1/gain=2, and single-ended/differential via control pins (UNI/BIP, PGA, DIFF). |
| Internal Reference System | Integrated 2.5V reference + buffer with 4.096V REFCOMP output; eliminates need for external precision reference ICs. |
| Low-Power Shutdown Modes | Nap mode draws 1mA; Sleep mode draws 50µA - extends uptime in battery-powered DAQ or portable test equipment. |
| High Channel Isolation | ≥90dB worst-pair isolation at 100kHz (bipolar, PGA=1) - prevents crosstalk in simultaneous multi-sensor monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit, multi-channel, parallel-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8320UB | 16-bit, 100ksps, SPI interface, no internal reference - higher resolution but lower speed and serial interface only. | Used in low-speed precision instrumentation where resolution >10 bits is critical and microcontroller SPI is available. | Select ADS8320UB when absolute precision outweighs speed and parallel bus simplicity. |
| MAX11607ETI+ | 12-bit, 250ksps, I²C interface, internal reference, 8-channel - slower, serial interface, smaller TQFN package. | Targeted at space-constrained embedded systems with I²C buses and moderate throughput needs (e.g., smart sensors). | Choose MAX11607ETI+ for compact designs with I²C host and relaxed sampling rate requirements. |
Compared with ADS8320UB and MAX11607ETI+, the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF delivers 12.5× faster sampling (1.25Msps vs. 100ksps/250ksps), native parallel output for zero-software-overhead data capture, and integrated reference - making it optimal for real-time industrial DAQ where latency, determinism, and integration matter most.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF?
The LTC1850IFW#TRPBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated across all key specifications including INL (±0.25 LSB), power consumption (40mW typ), and timing parameters (tCONV = 650ns max). The device uses the "I" grade suffix to denote this extended temperature capability, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade "C" version (0°C to 70°C).
Does the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates a 2.5V bandgap reference and reference buffer amplifier. The REFOUT pin provides 2.5V (±20mV), and the REFCOMP pin delivers a buffered 4.096V output (when REFIN = 2.5V) - sufficient for full-scale analog input ranges. External references are optional only for specialized calibration or higher-accuracy applications.
How many analog input channels does the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF support, and how are they configured?
The LTC1850IFW#TRPBF supports 8 analog input channels (CH0–CH7). They can be configured as eight single-ended inputs referenced to COM, or as four true differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7). Configuration is controlled by the DIFF, UNI/BIP, and PGA pins, allowing per-channel selection of differential/single-ended mode, unipolar/bipolar range, and gain = 1 or 2.
What digital interface options does the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF provide?
The LTC1850IFW#TRPBF provides a 14-bit parallel output interface (10-bit data + 4-bit MUX address) with separate OVDD supply (2.7–5.25V) for direct compatibility with 3V or 5V logic. It uses standard control signals - CONVST (edge-triggered start), BUSY (data-ready flag), RD (data strobe), CS (chip select), and WR (sequencer programming) - eliminating need for SPI/I²C translation logic in microcontroller-based systems.
Can the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF operate in low-power modes, and what are their current draws?
Yes, the LTC1850IFW#TRPBF supports two low-power shutdown modes. In Nap mode (SHDN = 0V, CS = 0V), supply current drops to 1mA with fast wake-up (<200ns). In Sleep mode (SHDN = 0V, CS = 5V), current falls to 50µA with longer wake-up (10ms with 10µF REFCOMP bypass). Both modes reduce power dissipation to ≤5mW and ≤0.25mW respectively - ideal for battery-backed or energy-conscious DAQ subsystems.
