Product details
Overview
LTC1855CG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 8-channel, 100ksps analog-to-digital converter with ±10V bipolar input range, ±30V fault-protected multiplexer, and SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface. It operates from a single 5V supply, features internal 2.5V reference and synchronized clock, and delivers ±1.5LSB INL for precision industrial data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1855CG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1855CG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1855CG#TRPBF application, or LTC1855CG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 14-bit resolution with guaranteed monotonicity, ±30V overvoltage protection on all MUX inputs, Nap/Sleep power shutdown modes (27.5mW / 40µW), and 28-pin SSOP package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC1855CG#TRPBF employs a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, internal 2.5V bandgap reference (±10ppm/°C), and factory-trimmed 1.6384× buffer delivering 4.096V at REFCOMP. Its 8-channel analog multiplexer supports programmable single-ended or differential configurations per channel pair.
Conversion timing is governed by an internal clock trimmed to 4–5µs max conversion time, enabling guaranteed 100ksps throughput. Digital interface uses SPI-compatible 3-wire serial I/O (SDI/SCK/SDO) with active-low RD control and BUSY status flag, supporting both 3V and 5V logic levels via dedicated OVDD output supply pin.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead 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; configurable as single-ended or differential pairs via software address |
| MUXOUT+ / MUXOUT– (10/11) | Multiplexer differential output | Drives ADC+ and ADC– inputs; decoupled internally to minimize crosstalk between channels |
| ADC+ / ADC– (12/13) | Differential analog input to SAR core | Accepts rescaled ±10V signals from MUXOUT; high common-mode rejection (96dB) suppresses noise |
| VREF (15) | 2.5V internal reference output | Bypassed with 1µF tantalum; used for external calibration or as precision voltage source |
| REFCOMP (16) | 4.096V buffered reference output | Drives internal DAC; supports ≤2mA DC load; requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing for stability |
| CONVST (28) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge sensitive; initiates acquisition and conversion sequence with 40ns minimum pulse width |
| BUSY (22) | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output; asserts low during conversion, releases high when result ready |
| RD (27) | Serial data read enable | Active-low control for SDO output; enables three-state operation to share bus with other peripherals |
| OVDD (21) | Digital output supply | Configures SDO/BUSY logic levels (3V or 5V); isolates output switching noise from AVDD/DVDD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8684IPWR | 16-bit resolution, 500ksps, external reference required, no ±30V fault protection | Better resolution/speed but needs external protection and reference; higher power (55mW) | Select when ENOB >14.5 bits is mandatory and overvoltage risk is mitigated externally |
| MAX11620EUB+ | 14-bit, 250ksps, ±12V input, internal reference, no MUX, 10-pin µMAX package | Single-channel only; lacks multiplexer and ±30V protection; smaller footprint but no channel flexibility | Select for space-constrained single-sensor nodes where MUX functionality is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for the LTC1855CG#TRPBF over temperature?
The LTC1855CG#TRPBF guarantees ±1.5LSB INL over its full operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (C-grade). This specification is tested and characterized-not just typical-and applies to all 14-bit codes across the ±10V input range, ensuring monotonic behavior and predictable calibration performance in industrial environments.
Can the LTC1855CG#TRPBF operate with an external reference, and how does it affect full-scale accuracy?
Yes, the LTC1855CG#TRPBF supports external reference injection at the VREF pin. When using an external reference, full-scale error improves to ±0.14% (vs ±0.40% with internal reference), as specified in the datasheet. The internal reference remains disabled automatically when an external voltage ≥2.475V is applied, preserving system flexibility for metrology-grade applications.
How does the ±30V fault protection on CH0–CH7 function during overvoltage events?
The LTC1855CG#TRPBF uses internal clamping diodes and robust input structures to withstand ±30V on any unselected channel without affecting conversion accuracy on the selected channel. During overvoltage, current is shunted to AGND1/AGND2/AGND3, and the device recovers fully within 150ns after the fault clears-no reset or reinitialization required.
What is the minimum acquisition time required before CONVST triggers conversion on the LTC1855CG#TRPBF?
The LTC1855CG#TRPBF requires a minimum acquisition time of 1µs when sampling through CH0–CH7 inputs, as specified in the timing characteristics table. This ensures the internal sample-and-hold capacitor settles to within ½ LSB of final value. For highest accuracy, 4µs acquisition is recommended to accommodate worst-case settling under full-scale step conditions.
Is the LTC1855CG#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LTC1854CG#TRPBF or LTC1856CG#TRPBF?
Yes, the LTC1855CG#TRPBF is pin-compatible and footprint-compatible with both the LTC1854CG#TRPBF (12-bit) and LTC1856CG#TRPBF (16-bit) in the same 28-pin SSOP package. All share identical pin functions, timing, power requirements, and interface protocol-enabling resolution scalability without PCB redesign.
