Product details
Overview
LTC1856CG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 8-channel, 100ksps successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with ±10V bipolar input range, ±30V fault protection on all inputs, and SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial interface. It integrates an internal 2.5V reference, 4.096V buffered reference output (REFCOMP), and programmable single-ended/differential input configuration - used in industrial process control, multiplexed data acquisition, and high-speed PC-based measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1856CG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1856CG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1856CG#TRPBF application, or LTC1856CG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 100ksps sampling rate, ±3LSB integral nonlinearity, 87dB SINAD at 1kHz, 28-pin SSOP package with exposed ground pad, and dual-mode power shutdown (27.5mW Nap / 40µW Sleep).
Technical Context
The LTC1856CG#TRPBF implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with internal sample-and-hold, factory-trimmed 5µs max conversion time, and synchronized internal clock - eliminating external timing components. Its 8-channel analog multiplexer precedes the ADC core and includes precision resistor networks for ±10V scaling and channel-specific overvoltage protection up to ±30V without affecting selected channel accuracy.
Digital interface uses a 3-wire SPI-compatible protocol (SCK/SDI/SDO) with active-low RD control and BUSY status flag. The device supports 3V- or 5V-tolerant digital I/O via dedicated OVDD supply, and features two independent ground domains (AGND1/2/3 and DGND) with separate AVDD/DVDD/OVDD supplies for noise isolation in mixed-signal systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output codes with two's complement format for full ±10V range (305.2µV/LSB) |
| Sampling Rate | 100ksps - guaranteed minimum throughput with ≤5µs conversion time and ≤4µs acquisition time |
| INL | ±3LSB - ensures monotonicity and end-point linearity across full temperature range (0°C to 70°C) |

| Reference | Internal 2.50V ±10ppm/°C bandgap - provides stable full-scale calibration without external components |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane (θJA = 160°C/W, TJMAX = 125°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COM (1) | Common reference for single-ended inputs | Noise-sensitive analog ground reference point; must connect to clean AGND plane |

| VREF (15) | 2.5V internal reference output | Bypass with 1µF tantalum to AGND; usable as external reference source |
| REFCOMP (16) | 4.096V buffered reference output | Drives internal DAC; bypass with 10µF + 0.1µF to AGND; DC load ≤2mA only |
| CONVST (28) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge initiated; ≥40ns pulse width required; starts acquisition and conversion sequence |
| RD (27) | Serial data read enable | Active-low control of SDO output; determines data-read timing mode (Mode 1 or Mode 2) |
| OVDD (21) | Digital output supply | Configures SDO/BUSY logic levels for 3V or 5V host systems independently of DVDD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit, multichannel, ±10V-input ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit, 8-channel, ±10.24V range, SPI interface, 500ksps, internal 4.096V ref, no ±30V fault protection | Higher speed but lacks robust overvoltage tolerance; requires external protection diodes in harsh environments | Select when higher throughput is prioritized over field-reliability under transient overvoltage |
| AD7606BSTZ | 16-bit, 8-channel, ±10V range, parallel/SPI, 200ksps, on-chip 2.5V ref, ±16.5V overvoltage rating | Parallel interface increases pin count and layout complexity; lower INL (±0.5LSB) but higher power (110mW) | Select when system demands lowest INL and parallel bus integration outweighs power and footprint constraints |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and AD7606BSTZ, the LTC1856CG#TRPBF offers superior fault resilience (±30V), lowest active power (40mW), and smallest footprint (28-SSOP), making it optimal for space-constrained, field-deployed instrumentation where reliability trumps raw speed.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1856CG#TRPBF?
The LTC1856CG#TRPBF is specified for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. This is indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. The "I" grade variant (LTC1856IG#TRPBF) extends operation to –40°C to 85°C. All DC and dynamic specifications - including ±3LSB INL, 87dB SINAD, and 100ksps sampling - are guaranteed across this full 0°C to 70°C range.
Does the LTC1856CG#TRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1856CG#TRPBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.50V ±10ppm/°C bandgap reference (VREF) and a 4.096V buffered output (REFCOMP) for internal DAC biasing. External references may be applied to VREF for improved accuracy, but the LTC1856CG#TRPBF operates fully functional with its internal reference alone.
How is the input configuration (single-ended vs. differential) controlled on the LTC1856CG#TRPBF?
The LTC1856CG#TRPBF uses an 8-bit configuration word shifted into SDI during each conversion cycle to select input mode per channel or channel pair. Bits define SGL/DIFF, ODD/SIGN, MUX address, and power-down state. This software-programmable flexibility allows mixed SE/diff configurations across the 8 channels without hardware changes - a feature confirmed in the Functional Block Diagram and Applications Information section.
What is the purpose of the OVDD pin on the LTC1856CG#TRPBF?
The OVDD pin on the LTC1856CG#TRPBF sets the logic-high voltage level for the SDO and BUSY digital outputs, enabling direct interfacing with either 3V or 5V host systems. Unlike DVDD (digital core supply), OVDD decouples output swing from internal logic voltage - allowing the LTC1856CG#TRPBF to drive 3V FPGAs or microcontrollers while operating from a 5V DVDD/AVDD supply, eliminating level-shifters.
Can the LTC1856CG#TRPBF withstand overvoltage on unused channels without affecting conversion accuracy?
Yes. The LTC1856CG#TRPBF provides ±30V fault protection on all CH0–CH7 and COM inputs. A fault condition on any unselected channel will not corrupt the conversion result of the selected channel - a key design feature verified in the Typical Application schematic and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This behavior results from the resistor-network-based front-end preceding the multiplexer.
