Product details
Overview
LTC1853CFW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 400ksps successive-approximation ADC with integrated 8-channel multiplexer, internal 2.5V reference, and parallel output interface. It supports single-ended/differential inputs, unipolar/bipolar operation, and dual gain ranges (1×/2×), enabling flexible data acquisition in industrial process control and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1853CFW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1853CFW#TRPBF application, or LTC1853CFW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12-bit resolution, 400ksps sampling rate, programmable sequencer for up to 16 channel configurations, low 3mW power at 250ksps (3V), and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy LTC1851 designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1853CFW#TRPBF implements a capacitive successive-approximation architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting both acquisition and conversion phases within 4.0μs max at 2.7V. Its analog front-end includes a configurable 8-channel multiplexer with pin-strappable input modes (single-ended/differential), polarity (unipolar/bipolar), and gain (1×/2×), all controlled via dedicated logic inputs (DIFF, UNI/BIP, PGA, A2–A0).
Digital control uses dual-mode logic (M0/M1) to select between direct addressing, scan mode, and programmable sequencer operation - the latter storing up to 16 channel-address-configurations in on-chip memory and supporting readback of current state. The parallel 16-bit output (12-bit data + 4-bit MUX address) is powered by separate OVDD (2.7–5.5V), enabling direct interfacing with 3V or 5V logic without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision measurement systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 400ksps maximum at 5V supply - supports real-time capture of signals up to 200kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Integral Linearity | ±0.35 LSB typical - ensures <0.01% full-scale error across temperature for calibrated sensor interfaces. |
| Power Consumption | 3mW at 250ksps/3V - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with extended runtime. |
| Analog Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - allows operation from single Li-ion cell or standard 3.3V/5V rails without external regulators. |
| Digital I/O Supply | Separate OVDD (2.7–5.5V) - decouples ADC core from digital logic voltage, eliminating level-shifter requirements. |
| Reference Options | Internal 2.5V ±15ppm/°C or external 2.048V/2.5V/4.096V - provides flexibility for accuracy-critical applications requiring traceable calibration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead plastic TSSOP (6.1mm wide), RoHS-compliant, 0°C to 70°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 (1–8) | Analog Input Channels | Support single-ended (vs COM) or differential pairs (CH0/CH1, etc.) - selectable via DIFF pin; COM disabled when DIFF = high. |
| REFOUT (10), REFIN (11), REFCOMP (12) | Reference Subsystem | REFOUT delivers 2.5V internal reference; REFIN configures reference mode (ground = 2.048V, VDD = external drive, 2.5V = 4.096V out); REFCOMP sets full-scale span. |
| D11–D0 (21,22,23,24–32) | Parallel Data Output | 12-bit conversion result + 4-bit MUX address - active when RD low and CS low; outputs swing between OVDD/OGND. |
| CONVST (45), CS (46), RD (44), WR (43) | Control Interface | Asynchronous parallel protocol: CONVST falling edge initiates conversion; CS enables command recognition; RD latches data; WR programs sequencer. |
| M0/M1 (36,48), PGA (37), UNI/BIP (38), DIFF (42) | Configuration Inputs | Set operating mode (direct/scan/program), gain (1×/2×), polarity (unipolar/bipolar), and input topology (SE/diff) - static logic during conversion. |
| BUSY (33) | Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress or sequencer programming active - used for timing synchronization or interrupt generation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Sequencer | Stores 16 channel-address-configurations (gain, polarity, SE/diff) in on-chip memory - eliminates host CPU overhead for repetitive multi-channel scans. |
| Flexible Input Multiplexer | Configurable per-channel via hardware pins - supports mixed-mode acquisition (e.g., CH0–CH3 differential, CH4–CH7 single-ended) without firmware reconfiguration. |
| Nap/Sleep Power Modes | 0.5mA Nap (CS low) and 20μA Sleep (CS high) shutdown currents - enables rapid wake-up (<200ns) while minimizing standby power in intermittent-sampling systems. |
| Internal Reference Buffer | 1.6384× gain from REFIN to REFCOMP - allows precise 4.096V full-scale using standard 2.5V reference ICs, improving system-level accuracy vs external resistor dividers. |
| Parallel Output with Address | 16-bit bus (D11–D0 + S2–S0) - delivers conversion result and source channel ID simultaneously, simplifying data logging and channel-aware post-processing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar data acquisition applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1853IFW#TRPBF | Same 12-bit/400ksps spec, but –40°C to 85°C extended temperature grade - higher max junction temp (150°C) and wider VDD tolerance (2.7–5.5V unchanged). | Required for automotive under-hood or industrial outdoor deployments where ambient exceeds 70°C. | Select when operating temperature exceeds 70°C; otherwise LTC1853CFW#TRPBF offers cost advantage for commercial-grade systems. |
| AD7490BRUZ | 12-bit, 1MSPS SAR ADC with 16-channel mux, but no internal reference or programmable sequencer - requires external REF and host-controlled sequencing. | Suitable for high-throughput, host-managed acquisition where FPGA/microcontroller handles channel scheduling and calibration. | Choose AD7490BRUZ only if system already includes precision external reference and needs >400ksps throughput; LTC1853CFW#TRPBF integrates more functions for simpler designs. |
Compared with LTC1853IFW#TRPBF, the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF trades extended temperature range for lower cost in commercial environments; compared with AD7490BRUZ, it sacrifices raw speed for on-chip intelligence (sequencer, reference, buffer), reducing firmware complexity and external component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF and under what conditions?
The LTC1853CFW#TRPBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 400ksps when operated with a 5V analog supply (VDD). At 2.7V supply, the maximum rate drops to 250ksps due to reduced internal clock speed and settling time constraints. This specification is guaranteed over the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range and applies to both single-ended and differential input configurations.
Does the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF require an external reference, or does it include an internal one?
The LTC1853CFW#TRPBF includes a fully integrated 2.5V internal reference with ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 2.48V to 2.52V output tolerance. It also supports external reference operation via the REFIN and REFCOMP pins, allowing use of precision 2.048V, 2.5V, or 4.096V references. The internal reference eliminates BOM cost and board space for most commercial applications, while external options enable metrology-grade calibration.
How many analog input channels does the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF support, and what topologies are available?
The LTC1853CFW#TRPBF supports eight analog input channels (CH0–CH7) configurable as either eight single-ended inputs referenced to COM or four differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7). Configuration is controlled by the DIFF pin, with COM automatically disabled in differential mode. Each channel supports unipolar or bipolar operation and two gain ranges (1× or 2×) selected via the PGA pin.
What power-saving modes does the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF offer, and how do they differ?
The LTC1853CFW#TRPBF offers two hardware-controlled power-down modes: Nap mode (SHDN low, CS low) draws 0.5mA and wakes in 200ns; Sleep mode (SHDN low, CS high) draws only 20μA but requires 10ms wake-up time. Both modes retain register contents and sequencer configuration. Nap mode suits burst-acquisition systems needing rapid response; Sleep mode targets ultra-low-power intermittent logging applications.
Is the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF pin-compatible with earlier Linear Technology ADCs?
Yes, the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF is pin-compatible with the LTC1851 (12-bit, 1.25Msps) and shares the same 48-lead TSSOP footprint and pinout mapping for all analog, power, and control signals. However, the higher-speed LTC1851 requires faster timing margins and lacks the LTC1853CFW#TRPBF's programmable sequencer readback capability - firmware must be verified for timing compliance before drop-in replacement.
