Product details
Overview
LTC1852CFW#TR from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 10-bit, 8-channel, 400ksps 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 requiring high channel density and low power.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1852CFW#TR datasheet, LTC1852CFW#TR pinout, LTC1852CFW#TR application, or LTC1852CFW#TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-lead TSSOP package, 2.7V–5.5V dual-supply operation (VDD/OVDD), scan-mode sequencer, and 3mW power consumption at 250ksps - critical for battery-powered test equipment and embedded process monitoring.
Technical Context
The LTC1852CFW#TR implements a capacitive SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting acquisition times as low as 150ns and conversion times of 2.0μs at 5.5V. Its programmable sequencer stores up to 16 channel configurations (address, gain, polarity, differential mode) and supports readback via dedicated S0–S6 status bits on data pins.
Reference flexibility is achieved through REFIN-controlled buffer output: tying REFIN to GND yields 2.048V on REFCOMP; applying 2.5V yields 4.096V; external drive is supported when REFIN = VDD. The 14-bit parallel output includes D9–D0 plus A2OUT/A1OUT/A0OUT/DIFFOUT, all referenced to OVDD/OGND for 3V/5V logic compatibility.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
48-lead plastic TSSOP (FW package), 6.1mm body width, lead-free finish. Pin 1 marked by dot; pins numbered counterclockwise from top-left corner.
| 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 (CH0/CH1, etc.) - supports mixed-signal sensor arrays. |
| COM (9) | Analog Input Common | Reference node for single-ended operation; disabled when DIFF = high - eliminates ground-loop errors in isolated front-ends. |
| REFOUT (10) | Internal 2.5V Reference Output | Stable 2.5V source (±15ppm/°C) for external circuitry; requires 1μF bypass - reduces BOM count in compact designs. |
| REFCOMP (12) | Reference Buffer Output | Programmable full-scale voltage (2.048V/4.096V) setting ADC input range - directly determines LSB size and dynamic range. |
| D9–D0 (21,22,23,24–30) | Parallel Data Outputs | 10-bit conversion result latched on BUSY rising edge - enables deterministic timing for synchronous data capture in real-time systems. |
| A2OUT/A1OUT/A0OUT (18–20) | MUX Address Outputs | Indicates active channel during conversion or sequencer address in readback mode - eliminates need for external address tracking logic. |
| BUSY (33) | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain signal synchronized to conversion completion - used as data-valid strobe for latch-based interfaces. |
| OVDD/OGND (35/34) | Digital Output Supply/Ground | Independent 2.7V–5.5V supply domain - allows direct connection to 3V microcontrollers without level translators. |
| CONVST (45) | Conversion Start Trigger | Falling-edge sensitive; initiates acquisition phase - supports precise timing control in time-triggered acquisition systems. |
| SHDN/CS (47/46) | Power Management Control | Combination selects Nap (1μA) or Sleep (20μA) shutdown - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable 16-step sequencer | Eliminates host CPU overhead for multi-channel scanning - enables autonomous cyclic acquisition without firmware intervention. |
| Flexible analog input configuration | Single-ended/differential, unipolar/bipolar, and 1×/2× PGA selection per channel - adapts to diverse sensor outputs (thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges). |
| Internal reference with strappable outputs | Reduces external component count and layout sensitivity - 4.096V option provides exact 1mV/LSB scaling for 10-bit resolution. |
| Nap/Sleep shutdown modes | Reduces quiescent current to 1μA (Nap) or 20μA (Sleep) - critical for always-on condition monitoring nodes with infrequent sampling. |
| Scan mode with automatic channel cycling | Hardware-accelerated round-robin acquisition across all 8 channels - delivers deterministic latency for closed-loop control timing budgets. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar data acquisition applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7923BRUZ | 4-channel, 12-bit, SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external REF and serial interface logic. | Lower channel count; suited for space-constrained designs where serial interface is preferred over parallel. | Select AD7923BRUZ when board area is critical and host processor has SPI but limited GPIO; avoid if 8-channel parallel throughput is required. |
| LTC1850CFW#TR | Pin-compatible 10-bit upgrade with 1.25Msps sampling rate - identical pinout and feature set, higher speed. | Same footprint but higher power (15mW at 1.25Msps); requires faster timing margins and tighter layout for signal integrity. | Select LTC1850CFW#TR only when >400ksps sampling is mandatory; retain LTC1852CFW#TR for optimal power/performance trade-off in 400ksps systems. |
Compared with AD7923BRUZ, LTC1852CFW#TR offers double the channel count and integrated reference but consumes more board area; compared with LTC1850CFW#TR, it trades 84% lower power for 68% lower sampling rate - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained industrial DAQ where 400ksps suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1852CFW#TR and under what conditions?
The LTC1852CFW#TR achieves a maximum sampling rate of 400ksps when powered from a 5.5V VDD supply. At lower 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 operating temperature range and applies to both single-ended and differential input configurations. The LTC1852CFW#TR maintains full 10-bit performance at these rates without degradation in INL or SNR.
Does the LTC1852CFW#TR require an external reference, or does it include an internal one?
The LTC1852CFW#TR includes a fully integrated 2.5V bandgap reference with ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 1.6384× buffer gain. It can operate autonomously using this internal reference (yielding 4.096V on REFCOMP when REFIN = 2.5V) or accept external references via REFIN/REFCOMP pins. No external reference is required for basic operation, though external precision references may be used for metrology-grade applications. The LTC1852CFW#TR reference architecture eliminates typical external reference and buffer amplifier components.
How does the programmable sequencer in the LTC1852CFW#TR reduce firmware overhead?
The LTC1852CFW#TR's 16-location sequencer stores channel address, gain (PGA), polarity (UNI/BIP), and differential mode (DIFF) settings in on-chip memory. Once programmed, it autonomously cycles through configurations without host intervention - eliminating polling loops or interrupt-driven channel switching. This hardware acceleration reduces MCU load by ~90% in 8-channel scan applications and ensures deterministic inter-sample timing critical for FFT-based analysis. The LTC1852CFW#TR sequencer also supports readback for runtime verification.
What are the power-down modes available on the LTC1852CFW#TR and their typical current draw?
The LTC1852CFW#TR offers two hardware-controlled power-down modes: Nap mode (SHDN = low, CS = low) draws 0.5μA typical, and Sleep mode (SHDN = low, CS = high) draws 20μA typical. Both modes retain register contents and allow wake-up via CONVST within 200ns (Nap) or 10ms (Sleep). These ultra-low quiescent currents enable energy harvesting and battery-powered applications where the LTC1852CFW#TR spends >99% of time in standby while maintaining rapid response capability.
Can the LTC1852CFW#TR interface directly with a 3V microcontroller, and how is this achieved?
Yes, the LTC1852CFW#TR interfaces directly with 3V microcontrollers using its independent OVDD supply pin (Pin 35). Digital outputs (D9–D0, A2OUT–A0OUT, DIFFOUT) are referenced to OVDD and OGND, allowing OVDD to be set to 3.0V while VDD remains at 5.0V for optimal analog performance. Input thresholds (VIH/VIL) are compatible with 3V logic levels, and output drive strength (±10mA) meets standard CMOS loading requirements. This dual-supply architecture eliminates level shifters in mixed-voltage systems using the LTC1852CFW#TR.
