Product details
Overview
LTC1856IG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 8-channel, 100ksps analog-to-digital converter with ±10V bipolar input range, ±30V fault-protected multiplexer, and integrated 2.5V reference. It operates from a single 5V supply, delivers 87dB SINAD, ±3LSB INL, and supports SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface - used in industrial process control and high-speed data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1856IG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1856IG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1856IG#TRPBF application, or LTC1856IG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-bit resolution with guaranteed monotonicity, ±30V overvoltage tolerance on all MUX inputs, Nap/Sleep power shutdown modes (27.5mW / 40µW), and 28-pin SSOP package with dedicated OVDD for 3V/5V digital interfacing.
Technical Context
The LTC1856IG#TRPBF employs a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with internal sample-and-hold and factory-trimmed 4µs conversion time. Its 8-channel analog multiplexer precedes the ADC core and includes precision resistor networks for accurate ±10V scaling, eliminating multiplexer on-resistance errors.
It integrates a curvature-corrected bandgap reference (2.50V ±10ppm/°C) and a 1.6384× buffered output (REFCOMP = 4.096V) driving the DAC. Digital interface uses separate CONVST and BUSY signals for deterministic timing, and RD-controlled SDO tri-state enables direct FIFO/DSP connection without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 distinct codes with no missing codes across full scale. |
| Sampling Rate | 100ksps - guaranteed minimum throughput with 4µs conversion + 1µs acquisition time. |
| INL | ±3LSB - ensures end-point linearity error ≤ ±0.93mV over ±10V range, critical for calibration-sensitive systems. |
| SINAD | 87dB at 1kHz - supports >14-bit effective resolution for low-distortion signal capture. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), exposed pad soldered to PCB ground per datasheet requirement.
| 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 supporting software-programmable single-ended or differential configurations. |
| MUXOUT+ / MUXOUT– (10–11) | Multiplexer differential output | Drives ADC+ and ADC– directly; carries rescaled ±10V signal after on-chip attenuation network. |
| ADC+ / ADC– (12–13) | Differential analog input to SAR core | Accepts 2.048V p-p differential signal; high-impedance hold-mode input (4pF) minimizes sampling disturbance. |
| VREF (15) | 2.5V reference output | Provides stable 2.50V ±10ppm/°C source; requires 1µF tantalum bypass to AGND1 for noise suppression. |
| REFCOMP (16) | 4.096V reference buffer output | Drives internal DAC; supports ≤2mA DC load; bypass with 10µF + 0.1µF to AGND2 for optimal PSRR. |
| CONVST (28) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge initiated; initiates acquisition then conversion; minimum 40ns pulse width required. |
| BUSY (22) | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output signaling conversion progress; synchronizes read timing with microprocessor. |
| SDO / SDI / SCK / RD (23,25,26,27) | SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface | 3V/5V-compatible I/O; OVDD (Pin 21) sets SDO/BUSY output swing; RD enables/disables SDO tri-state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-programmable input configuration | Per-channel selection of single-ended or differential mode via 8-bit configuration word - enables mixed-signal channel routing without hardware change. |
| ±30V fault protection on all MUX inputs | Prevents system failure during sensor disconnect, wiring faults, or ESD events - no external TVS or clamping diodes needed. |
| Onboard 2.5V reference with 4.096V buffered output | Eliminates external reference IC and trimming components; REFCOMP drives DAC directly, reducing layout sensitivity and drift. |
| Dual power shutdown modes | Nap mode (27.5mW) retains configuration and reference bias; Sleep mode (40µW) powers down reference and clock - ideal for wake-on-event architectures. |
| Channel-to-channel isolation ≥120dB | Ensures crosstalk-free measurement when scanning multiple sensors - critical for simultaneous sampling accuracy in DAQ systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit, 8-channel, SAR ADC with integrated PGA (±10.24V range); requires external reference; 1 MSPS max rate. | Higher speed but lacks ±30V fault protection; PGA adds gain flexibility but increases code latency variability. | Choose ADS8688IPWR when programmable gain is required and overvoltage risk is mitigated externally. |
| MAX11624EEE+ | 16-bit, 8-channel, SAR ADC with ±10V range; no internal reference; 250ksps; 20-pin TSSOP package. | Lower power (15mW) but requires external 2.5V reference and lacks fault protection; smaller footprint. | Choose MAX11624EEE+ for space-constrained designs where board-level protection and reference are already implemented. |
Compared with LTC1856IG#TRPBF, ADS8688IPWR offers higher throughput and PGA flexibility but demands external protection and reference design effort, while MAX11624EEE+ reduces size and power at the cost of fault resilience and reference integration - making LTC1856IG#TRPBF optimal for ruggedized, turnkey industrial DAQ.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1856IG#TRPBF?
The LTC1856IG#TRPBF 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 ±3LSB INL, 87dB SINAD, and ±30V fault protection - are guaranteed across this full range, making LTC1856IG#TRPBF suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory floors and outdoor instrumentation.
Does the LTC1856IG#TRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1856IG#TRPBF includes a fully integrated, factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference (VREF) and a 4.096V buffered output (REFCOMP) that drives the internal DAC. External reference is optional and only recommended when higher absolute accuracy or lower temperature drift than ±10ppm/°C is required. Using the internal reference eliminates two passive components and associated layout sensitivity in LTC1856IG#TRPBF designs.
How does the ±30V fault protection work on the LTC1856IG#TRPBF inputs?
The LTC1856IG#TRPBF implements robust ±30V fault protection on CH0–CH7 and COM pins using internal clamping structures that safely shunt overvoltage transients to AVDD or AGND without latch-up. Per datasheet Note 3, the device tolerates >100mA fault current without damage. This protection remains active even when channels are unselected - ensuring LTC1856IG#TRPBF maintains accuracy on the active channel during adjacent-channel overvoltage events.
Can the LTC1856IG#TRPBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC1856IG#TRPBF supports 3.3V digital interfacing via its dedicated OVDD pin (Pin 21), which sets the output voltage swing of SDO and BUSY. When OVDD = 3.3V, SDO outputs valid logic levels compatible with 3.3V CMOS inputs. Digital inputs (CONVST, RD, SCK, SDI) recognize 3V logic thresholds regardless of OVDD setting - enabling seamless integration with 3.3V µCs without level-shifting circuitry in LTC1856IG#TRPBF systems.
What is the purpose of the REFCOMP pin on the LTC1856IG#TRPBF?
The REFCOMP pin (Pin 16) provides the 4.096V output of the internal reference buffer, which directly drives the DAC array in the LTC1856IG#TRPBF. It is designed for low-noise, low-impedance delivery of reference voltage and can supply up to 2mA DC load. For optimal performance, REFCOMP must be bypassed with both 10µF tantalum and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors to AGND2 - a requirement explicitly specified in the LTC1856IG#TRPBF datasheet to maintain PSRR and minimize code transition noise.
