Product details
Overview
LTC1855IG#PBF 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™-compatible 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 LTC1855IG#PBF datasheet, LTC1855IG#PBF pinout, LTC1855IG#PBF application, or LTC1855IG#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 14-bit resolution, ±10V input range with ±30V overvoltage tolerance, 87dB SINAD at 1kHz, Nap/Sleep power shutdown modes (27.5mW / 40µW), and 28-pin SSOP package with dedicated OVDD for 3V/5V digital interfacing.
Technical Context
The LTC1855IG#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, internal 2.5V bandgap reference (±10ppm/°C), and 1.6384× buffered REFCOMP output (4.096V). Its 8-channel analog multiplexer supports programmable single-ended or differential configurations per channel pair, with all inputs fault-protected to ±30V independent of channel selection.
Conversion is initiated by CONVST rising edge, with guaranteed 4–5µs conversion time and 100ksps throughput. Serial interface uses SCK up to 20MHz (falling-edge capture), RD-controlled three-state SDO, and BUSY status signaling - enabling direct connection to microprocessors, DSPs, and FIFOs without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - delivers 16,384 distinct codes across ±10V full-scale range (305.2µV/LSB). |
| Sampling Rate | 100ksps - guaranteed minimum throughput with 4µs acquisition + 5µs conversion timing. |
| INL Error | ±1.5LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.01% full-scale linearity error for calibrated systems. |
| SINAD | 83dB at 1kHz - enables >13.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) in low-distortion signal chains. |
| Power Dissipation | 40mW at 100ksps - reduces thermal drift and simplifies thermal management in dense PCB layouts. |
| Input Protection | ±30V on all MUX channels - eliminates need for external clamping diodes or protection circuitry. |
| Reference | Internal 2.50V ±10ppm/°C - eliminates external reference component while maintaining stability over –40°C to +85°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for thermal and noise performance. Pin pitch: 0.65mm. Body dimensions: 10.2mm × 5.3mm.
| 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 ground and routed directly to AGND1. |
| CH0–CH7 (2–9) | Analog multiplexer inputs | ±30V fault-tolerant inputs supporting software-programmable single-ended or differential pairs. |
| MUXOUT+ / MUXOUT– (10/11) | Differential multiplexer outputs | Drive ADC+ and ADC–; internal rescaling ensures accurate ±10V range regardless of channel configuration. |
| ADC+ / ADC– (12/13) | Differential analog inputs to SAR core | Accept rescaled signals from MUXOUT; high-impedance node requiring local 12pF hold-mode capacitance. |
| VREF (15) | 2.5V internal reference output | Bypass with 1µF tantalum to AGND1; used for external calibration or as precision voltage source. |
| REFCOMP (16) | 4.096V buffered reference output | Drives internal DAC; supports ≤2mA DC load; bypass with 10µF + 0.1µF for low-noise operation. |
| CONVST (28) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge sensitive; initiates acquisition and conversion sequence with 40ns minimum pulse width. |
| RD (27) | Serial data read enable | Active-low control for SDO three-state output; enables synchronous read after BUSY deassertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-programmable input configuration | Per-channel selection of single-ended or differential mode via 8-bit SDI command - eliminates hardware jumpers and simplifies firmware-driven channel setup. |
| ±30V fault protection on all inputs | Prevents damage and cross-talk during sensor overvoltage events (e.g., thermocouple open-circuit, motor back-EMF), preserving accuracy on active channels. |
| Dual power shutdown modes | Nap mode (27.5mW) and Sleep mode (40µW) reduce idle power by >99%, enabling battery-powered or energy-sensitive DAQ systems. |
| Dedicated OVDD supply (3V–5V) | Allows SDO and BUSY outputs to interface directly with 3V logic families without level shifters - critical for mixed-voltage embedded designs. |
| Channel-to-channel isolation | –120dB at 1kHz - prevents crosstalk between simultaneously sampled channels in multi-sensor monitoring applications. |

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, 100ksps, ±10.24V range, internal reference ±2ppm/°C, SPI interface, 32-QFN package | Higher resolution and better reference stability; requires external overvoltage protection beyond ±12V | Select when absolute accuracy <±0.005% FS is required and board space allows QFN layout. |
| MAX11620AUB+ | 14-bit, 250ksps, ±10V range, no internal reference (requires external REF), 10-µMAX package | Faster sampling but lacks integrated reference and fault protection; smaller footprint | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where external reference and protection are already present. |
Compared with LTC1855IG#PBF, ADS8684IPWR offers higher resolution and tighter reference drift but adds external protection complexity, while MAX11620AUB+ trades integrated features for speed and size - making LTC1855IG#PBF optimal for balanced industrial DAQ where fault resilience and reference integration are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1855IG#PBF?
The LTC1855IG#PBF is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" grade suffix in the part number. All DC and dynamic specifications - including ±1.5LSB INL, 83dB SINAD, and ±30V fault protection - are guaranteed across this full range, making it suitable for harsh environments like factory automation and outdoor instrumentation.
Does the LTC1855IG#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1855IG#PBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.50V internal reference (±10ppm/°C) and a 4.096V buffered REFCOMP output, eliminating the need for external reference components in most applications. An external reference can be applied to VREF only if higher accuracy or custom full-scale range is required - the internal reference remains functional unless overdriven.
How does the ±30V fault protection work on the LTC1855IG#PBF inputs?
The LTC1855IG#PBF uses internal clamping diodes and robust input structures to withstand ±30V on CH0–CH7 and COM pins - even when unselected - without latch-up or performance degradation. This protection is intrinsic to the silicon design and requires no external components. A fault on one channel has no effect on conversion results of other channels, ensuring system reliability in noisy industrial settings.
Can the LTC1855IG#PBF interface with 3V microcontrollers?
Yes, the LTC1855IG#PBF supports 3V digital interfacing via its dedicated OVDD pin (Pin 21), which sets the output swing of SDO and BUSY. Digital inputs (CONVST, RD, SCK, SDI) accept 3V logic levels directly. With OVDD = 3V, SDO outputs valid 3V-compatible signals, enabling seamless integration with ARM Cortex-M0/M3, PIC, or RISC-V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the significance of the "#PBF" suffix in LTC1855IG#PBF?
The "#PBF" suffix indicates that the LTC1855IG#PBF is a lead-free (Pb-free) RoHS-compliant version, with matte tin surface finish on leads and compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles. It replaces legacy leaded versions and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements, ensuring reliable assembly in modern electronics manufacturing.
