Product details
Overview
LTC1853IFW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 400ksps, 8-channel successive-approximation ADC with integrated multiplexer, internal 2.5V reference, and parallel output interface. It supports single-ended/differential inputs, unipolar/bipolar operation, dual gain ranges (1×/2×), and programmable sequencer mode. Used in industrial process control systems requiring high channel density and low power at –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1853IFW#PBF datasheet, LTC1853IFW#PBF pinout, LTC1853IFW#PBF application, or LTC1853IFW#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±0.35 LSB INL, 400ksps sampling rate at 5V, 3mW power at 250ksps/3V, flexible 8-channel MUX configuration, and separate OVDD supply for 3V logic interfacing.
Technical Context
The LTC1853IFW#PBF implements a capacitive successive-approximation architecture with internal sample-and-hold, supporting acquisition times as low as 150ns and conversion time of 2.0μs at 5.5V. Its programmable sequencer stores up to 16 channel configurations-including DIFF, UNI/BIP, PGA, and address-with readback capability via dedicated S0–S6 status outputs.
Reference flexibility includes internal 2.5V buffer (REFOUT/REFCOMP), external 4.096V/2.5V/2.048V support via REFIN, and pin-strappable full-scale spans. Digital interface uses parallel 16-bit output (D11–D0 + A2OUT–A0OUT + DIFFOUT) with independent OVDD supply, enabling direct connection to 3V microcontrollers while analog section operates from 2.7–5.5V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit SAR, 500ksps, SPI interface, integrated PGA - higher resolution but serial-only output and no internal reference buffer. | Requires external reference and level-shifting for 3V logic; better suited for high-precision, low-channel-count systems. | Select when ENOB >13 bits is required and system can accommodate SPI protocol overhead and external reference design. |
| MAX11623ETL+ | 12-bit, 250ksps, 8-channel, SPI interface, internal 2.048V ref - lower speed, smaller 24-pin TQFN package, no sequencer memory. | Limited to basic round-robin scanning; lacks programmable sequence storage and readback capability. | Select for space-constrained designs where sequencer functionality is unnecessary and SPI interface is preferred. |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and MAX11623ETL+, the LTC1853IFW#PBF uniquely combines 12-bit accuracy, 400ksps parallel throughput, on-chip sequencer with 16-entry memory, and pin-strappable reference - making it optimal for deterministic, low-latency, multi-channel industrial DAQ where parallel bus timing and autonomous scan control are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1853IFW#PBF and under what conditions?
The LTC1853IFW#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 400ksps when VDD is 5.5V and the analog input signal meets acquisition time requirements (≥150ns). At 2.7V supply, the maximum rate drops to 250ksps due to reduced internal clock speed and settling margins. This specification is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Does the LTC1853IFW#PBF require an external reference, or does it have an internal one?
The LTC1853IFW#PBF includes an internal 2.5V reference buffer (REFOUT/REFCOMP) and supports multiple reference configurations: internal 2.5V, pin-strapped 4.096V (via REFIN = 2.5V), or 2.048V (REFIN = GND). External references can also be applied directly to REFCOMP when REFIN is tied to VDD - giving full flexibility without requiring external reference ICs.
How does the programmable sequencer in the LTC1853IFW#PBF reduce firmware complexity?
The LTC1853IFW#PBF's sequencer stores up to 16 complete channel configurations (address, DIFF, UNI/BIP, PGA) in on-chip memory. Once programmed, it autonomously cycles through them in scan mode - eliminating the need for host CPU intervention between conversions. This reduces interrupt load and simplifies real-time DAQ firmware for fixed-pattern acquisitions.
Can the LTC1853IFW#PBF interface directly with a 3V microcontroller without level shifters?
Yes - the LTC1853IFW#PBF uses a separate OVDD supply (2.7–5.5V) for all digital outputs (D11–D0, A2OUT–A0OUT, DIFFOUT). When OVDD is set to 3.0V, outputs swing cleanly between 0V and 3.0V, matching standard 3V logic thresholds. No external level translation is needed for compatible 3V MCU or FPGA I/O banks.
What are the power-down modes supported by the LTC1853IFW#PBF and their typical current draw?
The LTC1853IFW#PBF supports two hardware-controlled power-down modes: Nap mode (SHDN = low, CS = low) draws 0.5mA, and Sleep mode (SHDN = low, CS = high) draws only 20μA. Both retain register contents and allow wake-up in <200ns (Nap) or <10ms (Sleep) - ideal for battery-powered sensors needing periodic wake-up bursts.
