Product details
Overview
LTC1857IG#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 SoftSpan™ input range selection (0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V). It integrates an internal 2.5V reference, precision sample-and-hold, and SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface - deployed in industrial process control, multiplexed data acquisition, and high-speed PC-based DAQ systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1857IG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1857IG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1857IG#TRPBF application, or LTC1857IG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1 LSB INL over –40°C to +85°C, 40mW typical power dissipation in active mode, 28-pin SSOP package, ±25V input fault tolerance, and support for both single-ended and differential channel configurations.
Technical Context
The LTC1857IG#TRPBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an internal synchronized clock trimmed for ≤5 µs conversion time. Its SoftSpan™ programmable attenuator network precedes the 8-channel analog multiplexer, eliminating multiplexer on-resistance errors and enabling per-channel input range selection without external components.
It features three independent ground domains (AGND1/AGND2/AGND3), separate analog (AVDD), digital (DVDD), and output buffer (OVDD) supplies, and fault protection that isolates overvoltage events on unselected channels - ensuring conversion integrity on the selected channel even under ±25V transient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with guaranteed no missing codes across full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 100 ksps - supports real-time acquisition of signals up to 50 kHz (Nyquist-limited) with deterministic timing via CONVST/BUSY handshake. |
| INL Error | ±1 LSB (max, –40°C to +85°C) - ensures monotonicity and <0.024% full-scale linearity error for precision sensor interfacing. |
| Input Voltage Ranges | Software-selectable 0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V - enables flexible signal conditioning without external op-amp gain stages or level shifting. |
| Power Dissipation | 40 mW (typ, active) - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts; drops to 27.5 mW in Nap mode and 8 µW in Sleep mode for low-duty-cycle applications. |
| Input Fault Protection | ±25 V on CH0–CH7 and COM - allows direct connection to industrial field sensors without external clamping diodes or series resistors. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±10 ppm/°C reference with buffered 4.096 V REFCOMP output - eliminates need for external voltage reference in most applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 5.6 mm × 10.2 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant, 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 point for all CH0–CH7 single-ended measurements. |
| CH0–CH7 (2–9) | Analog multiplexer inputs | ±25V fault-tolerant inputs; each configurable as single-ended (vs. COM) or differential pair (e.g., CH0+/CH1–). |
| MUXOUT+ / MUXOUT– (10–11) | Multiplexer output differential pair | Drives ADC+ and ADC– internally; accessible for external signal monitoring or custom front-end filtering. |
| ADC+ / ADC– (12–13) | Differential analog inputs to SAR core | Accept rescaled signals from MUXOUT; high-impedance (Hi-Z) in hold mode (4 pF capacitance) minimizes sampling disturbance. |
| CONVST (28) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge sensitive; initiates acquisition and conversion sequence - minimum 40 ns pulse width required. |
| BUSY (22) | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output; asserts low during conversion (≤5 µs), enabling synchronous readout or FIFO buffering. |
| SDO / SDI / SCK / RD (23, 25, 26, 27) | SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface | 3-wire + RD protocol; supports 20 MHz SCK, MSB-first 16-bit frame (12 data bits + 4 control bits), and 3V/5V logic compatibility. |
| VREF / REFCOMP (15–16) | Reference voltage outputs | VREF = 2.5 V ±10 ppm/°C; REFCOMP = 4.096 V buffered output - both require dedicated bypassing (1 µF + 10 µF) for optimal SNR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel software-programmable input span | Enables mixed-signal acquisition (e.g., 4× 0–10V thermocouple inputs + 4× ±5V strain gauge pairs) without hardware reconfiguration. |
| ±25V fault protection on all analog inputs | Eliminates need for external TVS diodes or current-limiting resistors in harsh industrial environments with ESD or surge exposure. |
| Three isolated ground planes (AGND1/AGND2/AGND3) | Reduces ground bounce and digital noise coupling into analog path - critical for achieving 74 dB SINAD at 1 kHz input. |
| Two low-power shutdown modes (Nap/Sleep) | Nap mode cuts supply current to 8 mA (27.5 mW); Sleep mode reduces it to 5.5 µA (8 µW), enabling battery-powered remote sensing. |
| Internal 2.5V reference with 4.096V buffered output | Provides stable, low-drift reference for internal DAC and external circuitry - avoids cost and board space of discrete 4.096V references. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel, programmable-input-range ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit, 8-channel, SAR ADC with integrated PGA (±10.24V max input), but requires external reference and lacks ±25V fault protection. | Higher resolution suited for metrology; less robust in industrial field wiring where overvoltage is common. | Select when absolute accuracy >16-bit and external reference is acceptable; avoid where ±25V transients occur. |
| MAX11624EEE+ | 12-bit, 8-channel, 250 ksps SAR ADC with internal reference, but only supports unipolar 0–VREF ranges and no fault protection. | Higher speed for streaming applications; limited to single-ended 0–2.5V/0–4.096V inputs - unsuitable for bipolar field sensors. | Select for cost-sensitive, unipolar-only systems requiring >100 ksps; not viable for ±5V/±10V or fault-prone environments. |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and MAX11624EEE+, the LTC1857IG#TRPBF uniquely combines ±25V fault tolerance, software-selectable bipolar/unipolar spans, and guaranteed ±1 LSB INL over industrial temperature - making it the only option that maintains accuracy and reliability without external protection or range-scaling circuitry.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1857IG#TRPBF?
The LTC1857IG#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade), as indicated by the "I" suffix in the part number. All key DC specifications - including ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity, ±25V fault protection, and 40 mW power dissipation - are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the LTC1857IG#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1857IG#TRPBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5 V internal reference with ±10 ppm/°C drift and a buffered 4.096 V REFCOMP output. An external reference may be applied to VREF only if higher absolute accuracy is required - the internal reference is sufficient for most industrial DAQ applications.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC1857IG#TRPBF?
The SoftSpan™ feature on the LTC1857IG#TRPBF uses on-chip resistor networks and switches to program each channel's input range (0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V) via an 8-bit command sent to SDI before conversion. This occurs before the multiplexer, eliminating on-resistance errors and enabling per-channel range flexibility without external components.
Can the LTC1857IG#TRPBF accept differential inputs?
Yes, the LTC1857IG#TRPBF supports both single-ended (vs. COM) and differential input configurations. The 8-channel multiplexer can be programmed to route any two adjacent channels (e.g., CH0/CH1) as a differential pair to MUXOUT+/MUXOUT–, which feed the ADC+ and ADC– inputs directly.
What are the power-saving modes available on the LTC1857IG#TRPBF?
The LTC1857IG#TRPBF offers two user-selectable low-power modes: Nap mode (8 mA supply current, 27.5 mW) and Sleep mode (5.5 µA, 8 µW). Both are controlled via the same 8-bit SDI command used for channel/range selection, allowing dynamic power scaling based on acquisition duty cycle.
