Product details
Overview
LTC1854CG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 8-channel, ±10V input, 100ksps analog-to-digital converter with integrated multiplexer, ±30V fault protection, SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and internal 2.5V reference. It operates from a single 5V supply and supports single-ended or differential input configurations for industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1854CG#PBF datasheet, LTC1854CG#PBF pinout, LTC1854CG#PBF application, or LTC1854CG#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1 LSB INL, 40mW typical power dissipation at full rate, 28-pin SSOP package, 300ns overvoltage recovery, and support for Nap/Sleep shutdown modes in precision multichannel sampling systems.
Technical Context
The LTC1854CG#PBF implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with an internal sample-and-hold circuit and factory-trimmed 4µs conversion time. Its 8-channel analog multiplexer precedes the ADC core and includes on-chip resistor networks for precise ±10V bipolar input scaling and channel-specific attenuation/offset compensation.
It features dual ground domains (AGND1/AGND2/AGND3 and DGND), separate analog (AVDD), digital (DVDD), and output buffer (OVDD) supplies, and a dedicated REFCOMP pin delivering 4.096V to drive the internal DAC - enabling stable operation without external reference components in most applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with monotonic transfer function and no missing codes. |
| Sampling Rate | 100ksps - guaranteed minimum throughput with 4µs conversion + 1µs acquisition time per channel. |
| INL | ±1 LSB - ensures end-point linearity error ≤ ±0.024% of full-scale range (±10V), critical for calibration-sensitive measurements. |
| Input Range | ±10V bipolar - supports direct connection to industrial sensors and transducers without external level-shifting. |
| Overvoltage Protection | ±30V on all MUX inputs - prevents damage or corruption during transient faults while preserving conversion integrity on selected channels. |
| Power Dissipation | 40mW at 100ksps - enables thermally constrained designs; reduces to 27.5mW (Nap) or 40µW (Sleep) during idle periods. |
| SPI Interface | MICROWIRE-compatible - supports standard 3-wire serial protocol with SCK up to 20MHz, RD-controlled tri-state outputs, and two's complement data format. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic SSOP (G package), exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COM (1) | Common reference for single-ended inputs | Low-noise analog ground reference point; must be isolated from digital return paths. |
| CH0–CH7 (2–9) | Analog multiplexer inputs | ±30V fault-protected channels accepting ±10V signals; impedance ~31kΩ requires low-Z source driving. |
| MUXOUT+ / MUXOUT– (10–11) | Differential multiplexer outputs | Drive ADC+ and ADC– directly; enable differential measurement mode with common-mode rejection >96dB. |

| VREF (15) | 2.5V internal reference output | Bypassed with 1µF tantalum; used as precision voltage source for external circuitry or reference override. |
| REFCOMP (16) | 4.096V reference buffer output | Drives internal DAC; supports ≤2mA DC load; decoupling with 10µF + 0.1µF minimizes code transition noise. |
| CONVST (28) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge initiated; minimum 40ns pulse width required to enter hold mode and begin SAR conversion sequence. |
| BUSY (22) | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output signaling ongoing conversion; synchronizes host processor read timing. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8556IPM | 6-channel, 16-bit, parallel interface, ±10V input, 630ksps max; requires external reference and separate analog/digital supplies. | Higher resolution and speed but larger footprint (64-pin HTQFP); suited for high-throughput systems where SPI bandwidth is limiting. | Select ADS8556IPM when >12-bit resolution and parallel readout are required; avoid if board space or SPI compatibility is constrained. |
| MAX11620ATI+ | 8-channel, 12-bit, 250ksps, SPI interface, ±10V input, internal reference; no ±30V fault protection; 24-pin TQFN package. | Lacks MUX overvoltage hardening; lower power (15mW active) but higher INL (±2.5 LSB); optimized for compact portable instrumentation. | Select MAX11620ATI+ for space-constrained, low-power applications where fault conditions are mitigated externally; avoid in unconditioned industrial field wiring. |
Compared with ADS8556IPM and MAX11620ATI+, the LTC1854CG#PBF uniquely balances ±30V fault resilience, 28-pin SSOP compactness, and guaranteed ±1 LSB INL in a single-supply 5V design - making it optimal for ruggedized, medium-speed industrial DAQ where reliability and calibration stability are prioritized over raw speed or resolution.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1854CG#PBF?
The LTC1854CG#PBF guarantees a maximum sampling rate of 100ksps across all 8 channels. This is achieved with a 4µs conversion time and 1µs acquisition time per channel, as specified in the timing characteristics table under fSAMPLE(MAX) = 100kHz for CH0–CH7 inputs. The internal clock is factory-trimmed to ensure this performance across the 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range without external adjustment.
Does the LTC1854CG#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1854CG#PBF does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference (VREF, Pin 15) and a 4.096V buffered reference output (REFCOMP, Pin 16) that drives the internal DAC. External references may be applied to override VREF only if higher absolute accuracy is needed; the internal reference provides ±10ppm/°C drift and 2.475V–2.525V tolerance over temperature.
How does the ±30V fault protection work on the LTC1854CG#PBF analog inputs?
The ±30V fault protection on CH0–CH7 and COM pins uses internal clamping diodes referenced to AVDD and AGND, allowing input voltages from –30V to +30V without latch-up or damage. Crucially, a fault on any unselected channel does not affect the conversion result of the selected channel due to the MUX architecture placing attenuation and protection circuitry before the switching elements - preserving measurement integrity in harsh industrial wiring environments.
What are the power consumption modes of the LTC1854CG#PBF and how are they controlled?
The LTC1854CG#PBF offers three power states: Active (40mW at 100ksps), Nap (27.5mW), and Sleep (40µW). Mode selection is controlled via bits in the 8-bit configuration word shifted into SDI during initialization - specifically the NAP and SLEEP bits. In Nap mode, the internal clock and reference remain active but conversion logic is throttled; in Sleep mode, both clock and reference are disabled, reducing current draw to microamps while retaining register state.
Can the LTC1854CG#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC1854CG#PBF can interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller. Its digital inputs (CONVST, RD, SDI, SCK) accept 3V logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.4V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), and its digital outputs (SDO, BUSY) are driven by OVDD - which can be set to 3.3V to match the host MCU's I/O voltage. This eliminates level-shifting components while maintaining signal integrity and timing compliance per the datasheet's t6/t8/t12 specifications.
