Product details
Overview
LTC1858CG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-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 precision 2.5V reference, synchronized clock, and SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface - deployed in industrial process control and multiplexed data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1858CG#PBF datasheet, LTC1858CG#PBF pinout, LTC1858CG#PBF application, or LTC1858CG#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed fault-protection behavior across all eight channels, and real-world timing constraints for microprocessor/DSP interfacing including BUSY signal handshake and SCK timing compliance up to 20MHz.
Technical Context
The LTC1858CG#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting both single-ended and differential input configurations per channel. Its SoftSpan™ programmability uses on-chip resistor networks and switches to configure input ranges dynamically without external components.
It features three independent ground domains (AGND1/AGND2/AGND3), separate analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD/OVDD) supplies, and ±25V overvoltage protection on all MUX inputs (CH0–CH7, COM). Fault conditions on unselected channels do not corrupt conversion results on the selected channel.

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 point for CH0–CH7 when used single-ended. |
| CH0–CH7 (2–9) | Analog multiplexer inputs | ±25V fault-protected; support software-configurable unipolar/bipolar ranges and single-ended/differential pairing. |
| MUXOUT+ / MUXOUT– (10–11) | Multiplexer output differential pair | Drives ADC+ and ADC–; rescaled analog signal after SoftSpan attenuation/offset; high-impedance in hold mode. |
| ADC+ / ADC– (12–13) | Differential analog inputs to SAR core | Accept 0V–2.048V / ±1.024V (unipolar/bipolar) when using internal reference; require precise decoupling. |
| VREF (15) | 2.5V internal reference output | Factory-trimmed ±0.1% (2.475V–2.525V); bypass with 1µF tantalum to AGND1 for noise rejection. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-programmable input spans | Eliminates external gain/level-shift circuitry; enables per-channel configuration of 0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V via SPI command. |
| ±25V fault protection on all MUX inputs | Prevents latch-up or damage during transient overvoltage events; maintains integrity of conversions on selected channels. |

| Internal 2.5V reference with 10ppm/°C TC | Enables self-contained operation without external references; stable enough for 14-bit accuracy over 0°C–70°C. |
| Dual power-down modes (Nap/Sleep) | Nap mode draws 8mA (40mW); Sleep mode draws only 5.5µA (27.5µW) - extends battery life in portable DAQ systems. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Monitoring | Multiplexed Sensor Data Acquisition |
|---|---|
|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit, 8-channel, SAR ADC with integrated PGA (±10.24V max input), 100ksps, SPI interface, but requires external reference and lacks ±25V fault protection. | Best suited for higher-precision, lower-noise applications where external reference stability is controlled; not suitable for harsh industrial environments with wiring transients. | Select ADS8688IPWR when absolute 16-bit linearity and programmable gain are required, and overvoltage robustness is managed externally. |
| MAX11624EEE+ | 14-bit, 8-channel, SAR ADC with internal reference and 250ksps sampling, but fixed ±5V input range and no software-programmable spans or ±25V protection. | Ideal for cost-sensitive, high-throughput DAQ where input signal ranges are uniform and field overvoltage risk is low. | Choose MAX11624EEE+ for simplified design with faster sampling and lower power, provided input ranges are standardized and fault conditions are mitigated upstream. |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and MAX11624EEE+, the LTC1858CG#PBF uniquely combines 14-bit resolution, per-channel software-defined input spans, ±25V fault tolerance, and internal reference in a single 28-pin SSOP - making it optimal for ruggedized, mixed-range industrial DAQ where layout space and component count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1858CG#PBF?
The LTC1858CG#PBF guarantees a maximum sampling rate of 100ksps when converting through its CH0–CH7 inputs. This is achieved with a typical conversion time of 4µs and acquisition time of 1µs. The device also supports up to 166ksps when sampling exclusively through the dedicated ADC+ and ADC– pins, though this bypasses the multiplexer and SoftSpan™ programmability. All timing parameters are specified over the full 0°C to 70°C operating range.
Does the LTC1858CG#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1858CG#PBF operates fully autonomously with its internal 2.5V bandgap reference (VREF, Pin 15) and 4.096V buffered reference (REFCOMP, Pin 16). These are factory-trimmed to ±0.1% and ±10ppm/°C, enabling 14-bit accuracy without external components. However, VREF can be overdriven with a higher-accuracy external reference if system-level calibration demands tighter absolute accuracy.
How does the ±25V fault protection work on the LTC1858CG#PBF inputs?
The LTC1858CG#PBF incorporates internal clamping diodes and robust input structures on all CH0–CH7 and COM pins, allowing them to withstand continuous ±25V applied voltage without latch-up or damage. Critically, a fault condition on any unselected channel does not affect the conversion result of the currently selected channel - preserving data integrity in noisy industrial environments where wiring faults or ESD events may occur.
Can the LTC1858CG#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC1858CG#PBF supports 3V-compatible digital I/O: its SDI, SCK, RD, and BUSY pins operate with VIH ≥ 2.4V and VIL ≤ 0.8V at VDD = 4.75V–5.25V, ensuring reliable logic-level compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers. OVDD (Pin 21) may be supplied at 3.3V to match the host's I/O voltage, while AVDD and DVDD remain at 5V for analog/digital core operation.
What are the power consumption modes of the LTC1858CG#PBF and how are they controlled?
The LTC1858CG#PBF offers two user-selectable low-power modes: Nap mode (8mA, 40mW) and Sleep mode (5.5µA, 27.5µW). Both are activated via the 8-bit SPI configuration word written to SDI before CONVST assertion. Nap mode retains reference and clock operation for fast wake-up; Sleep mode shuts down the reference and clock, requiring ~1ms stabilization before first conversion. Power state is retained across conversions until reconfigured.
