Product details
Overview
LTC1857CG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 8-channel, 100ksps software-programmable analog-to-digital converter with ±25V fault-protected inputs, single 5V supply operation, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It supports unipolar (0V–5V, 0V–10V) and bipolar (±5V, ±10V) input spans, features ±1LSB integral nonlinearity, and targets industrial data acquisition systems requiring channel multiplexing and robust input protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1857CG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1857CG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1857CG#TRPBF application, or LTC1857CG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12-bit resolution with ±1LSB INL, 100ksps sampling rate across 8 channels, ±25V overvoltage tolerance on all analog inputs, and support for both single-ended and differential configurations via software-selectable SoftSpan™ ranges.
Technical Context
The LTC1857CG#TRPBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an integrated sample-and-hold and factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference. Its programmable resistor-divider network precedes the 8-channel analog multiplexer, eliminating multiplexer on-resistance errors and enabling per-channel span selection without external components.
It delivers DC accuracy of ±1LSB INL and ±1LSB DNL over 0°C to 70°C, supports dual power shutdown modes (Nap: 5.5mA, Sleep: 8µA), and provides synchronized internal clocking with guaranteed 5µs max conversion time. The device interfaces via 3-wire SPI-compatible serial I/O with active-low RD, SCK, SDI, and SDO, plus dedicated CONVST and BUSY signals for microprocessor/DSP timing control.

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Plastic SSOP (G package), 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COM (1) | Common reference for single-ended inputs | Must be low-noise and tied to analog ground plane; defines zero-reference point for all CH0–CH7 single-ended measurements. |
| CH0–CH7 (2–9) | Analog multiplexer inputs | Each accepts ±25V fault-protected unipolar/bipolar signals; software-configurable per channel for span and mode. |
| MUXOUT+ / MUXOUT– (10–11) | Multiplexer differential output | Drives ADC+ and ADC– internally; accessible for external signal conditioning or diagnostic probing. |
| ADC+ / ADC– (12–13) | Differential analog input to SAR core | Accepts rescaled signal from MUXOUT; high-impedance input (Hi-Z) during hold phase minimizes loading effects. |
| VREF (15) | 2.5V internal reference output | Bypass with 1µF tantalum to AGND1; can be overdriven by external reference for enhanced accuracy. |
| REFCOMP (16) | 4.096V buffered reference output | Drives internal DAC; decouple with 10µF + 0.1µF capacitors; supports ≤2mA DC load only. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SoftSpan™ software-programmable input ranges | Per-channel selection of 0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V eliminates external gain/attenuation circuitry and enables mixed-signal acquisition in one system. |
| ±25V fault protection on all analog inputs | Prevents damage and data corruption during transient overvoltage events common in industrial PLC and motor drive environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel, software-programmable ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7928BRUZ | 8-channel, 12-bit, 1MSPS SAR ADC; no built-in ±25V fault protection; requires external reference and level-shifting for ±10V inputs. | Higher speed but lacks integrated overvoltage protection and software-programmable spans; suited for clean lab environments, not harsh industrial fields. | Select AD7928BRUZ only if 1MSPS throughput is required and external protection/conditioning is acceptable. |
| LTC1859CG#TRPBF | 16-bit resolution, ±3LSB INL, same pinout and SoftSpan™ architecture; higher SNR (87dB vs 74dB) and improved DNL. | Delivers higher precision for metrology-grade applications; shares identical footprint and software interface, enabling drop-in upgrade path. | Choose LTC1859CG#TRPBF when 16-bit resolution and <100ppm full-scale accuracy are mandatory for calibration-critical systems. |
Compared with AD7928BRUZ, LTC1857CG#TRPBF offers integrated fault protection and span flexibility at lower speed, while LTC1859CG#TRPBF provides a seamless 16-bit upgrade within the same family-enabling scalable design reuse without PCB revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1857CG#TRPBF?
The LTC1857CG#TRPBF guarantees a maximum sampling rate of 100ksps across all eight input channels. This is achieved with a typical conversion time of 4µs and maximum acquisition time of 4µs, ensuring deterministic throughput for real-time control loops. The device also supports up to 166kHz sampling when using only the dedicated ADC+ and ADC– pins, bypassing the multiplexer.
Does the LTC1857CG#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1857CG#TRPBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5V internal bandgap reference with ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and a buffered 4.096V output (REFCOMP) for driving the internal DAC. However, VREF can be overdriven with an external precision reference if higher absolute accuracy is required for calibration-critical applications.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC1857CG#TRPBF?
The SoftSpan™ feature on the LTC1857CG#TRPBF uses on-chip resistor dividers and switches to provide software-selectable input ranges per channel: 0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V. An 8-bit command word sent via SPI configures both the channel address and span simultaneously, enabling mixed-range acquisition without external gain stages or hardware reconfiguration.
What is the purpose of the REFCOMP pin on the LTC1857CG#TRPBF?
The REFCOMP pin on the LTC1857CG#TRPBF provides a buffered 4.096V output derived from the internal 2.5V reference (2.5V × 1.6384 = 4.096V), optimized for the 12-bit full-scale range. It drives the internal DAC and may supply ≤2mA DC load; AC loading is not recommended as it degrades ADC performance. Decoupling with 10µF + 0.1µF capacitors is mandatory.
Can the LTC1857CG#TRPBF operate with a 3V digital interface?
Yes, the LTC1857CG#TRPBF supports 3V-compatible digital I/O: OVDD can be supplied from 3V to 5V independently of AVDD/DVDD (5V), allowing direct interfacing with 3V microcontrollers or FPGAs. Digital input thresholds (VIH = 2.4V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and output drive levels are fully compatible with 3V logic families when OVDD = 3V.
