Product details
Overview
LTC1852CFW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 10-bit, 400ksps, 8-channel successive-approximation ADC with integrated multiplexer, internal 2.5V reference, and parallel digital interface. It supports single-ended/differential inputs, unipolar/bipolar operation, and dual gain ranges (1×/2×), enabling flexible data acquisition in industrial sensor systems, test equipment, and spectrum analyzers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1852CFW#PBF datasheet, LTC1852CFW#PBF pinout, LTC1852CFW#PBF application, or LTC1852CFW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-lead TSSOP package, 2.7V–5.5V analog supply range, 3mW power consumption at 250ksps, and programmable sequencer supporting up to 16-channel scan modes - all critical for low-power, multi-sensor embedded measurement designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1852CFW#PBF implements a capacitive SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, achieving ±0.25 LSB integral linearity and 72.5dB SNR at 40kHz input. Its analog front-end includes a configurable 8-channel multiplexer with COM-referenced single-ended or paired differential inputs (CH0–CH1, CH2–CH3, etc.), selectable via DIFF, A2–A0, UNI/BIP, and PGA pins.
Digital control uses dual mode-select pins (M0/M1) to enable Direct Address, Scan, Program, or Readback modes. The parallel 14-bit output bus (D9–D0 + A2OUT–A0OUT + DIFFOUT) operates from a separate OVDD supply (2.7V–5.5V), allowing direct interfacing with 3V or 5V logic while isolating analog and digital grounds (OGND/GND).

Pinout & Package
48-lead plastic TSSOP (6.1mm wide), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish. Pin 1 marked by dot; exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 (1–8) | Analog Input Channels | Configurable as 8 single-ended inputs (vs. COM) or 4 differential pairs - supports simultaneous voltage/current sensing in multi-sensor nodes. |
| COM (9) | Analog Input Common | Reference node for single-ended operation; disabled during differential mode - requires grounding to minimize noise coupling. |
| REFOUT (10) | 2.5V Reference Output | Stable buffered 2.5V source (±15ppm/°C) - used to drive external circuitry or calibrate auxiliary sensors without external reference IC. |
| REFCOMP (12) | Reference Buffer Output | Sets full-scale input span (e.g., ±2.048V bipolar); derived from REFIN × 1.6384 - enables precise gain scaling for 16-bit-equivalent dynamic range. |
| D9–D0 (21–30) | Parallel Data Outputs | 10-bit conversion result latched on BUSY rising edge - enables zero-wait-state readout in microcontroller GPIO-bus interfaces. |
| A2OUT–A0OUT (18–20) | MUX Address Outputs | 4-bit address (S5–S3) concurrent with data - allows firmware to verify channel identity without additional status registers. |
| BUSY (33) | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain signal synchronized to conversion completion - serves as hardware handshake for DMA-triggered data capture. |
| OVDD (35) | Digital Output Supply | Independent power rail for D9–D0, A2OUT–A0OUT, DIFFOUT - permits direct connection to 3.3V FPGA I/O banks while analog section runs at 5V. |
| SHDN (47) | Power Shutdown Control | Active-low input selecting Nap (CS low) or Sleep (CS high) mode - reduces current to 0.5mA or 20μA for battery-backed data loggers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8320IDB | 16-bit resolution, SPI interface, no integrated MUX or reference - requires external multiplexer and reference IC. | Better resolution but higher system complexity; lacks autonomous sequencer and parallel interface. | Choose for ultra-high-precision DC measurements where software-controlled channel sequencing is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1852CFW#PBF?
The LTC1852CFW#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 400ksps when powered from a 5.5V analog supply. At reduced supply voltages (e.g., 2.7V), the maximum rate drops to 250ksps due to internal timing constraints. This specification is guaranteed across the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range and directly impacts achievable signal bandwidth in applications like vibration analysis or power quality monitoring.
Does the LTC1852CFW#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1852CFW#PBF includes an internal 2.5V reference with ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient and buffered REFOUT/REFCOMP outputs. It can operate fully autonomously using this reference, or accept external references (2.048V, 2.5V, or 4.096V) applied to REFCOMP. The internal reference eliminates BOM cost and board space for external reference ICs in cost-sensitive designs.
How does the programmable sequencer in the LTC1852CFW#PBF reduce firmware overhead?
The LTC1852CFW#PBF's sequencer stores up to 16 channel configurations (address, gain, polarity, differential/single-ended) in internal memory. Once programmed, it autonomously cycles through them in Scan mode - eliminating CPU polling, interrupt servicing, and GPIO reconfiguration. This allows microcontrollers to enter low-power sleep between data reads, extending battery life in portable instruments using the LTC1852CFW#PBF.
Can the LTC1852CFW#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes. The LTC1852CFW#PBF features a separate OVDD supply pin (Pin 35) that powers all digital outputs (D9–D0, A2OUT–A0OUT, DIFFOUT). By connecting OVDD to 3.3V, the outputs swing between 0V and 3.3V - matching standard LVCMOS logic levels. This eliminates level-shifters and simplifies interface to ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V microcontrollers without compromising analog performance.
What is the purpose of the BUSY pin on the LTC1852CFW#PBF?
The BUSY pin (Pin 33) is an active-low, open-drain output signaling conversion status. It goes low at the falling edge of CONVST and remains low until conversion completes, then rises to indicate valid data on the parallel bus. Its rising edge can directly trigger microcontroller interrupts or latch strobes, enabling deterministic, zero-latency data capture - a critical feature for time-critical control loops using the LTC1852CFW#PBF.
