Product details
Overview
LTC1859IG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-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, 4.096V buffered reference output, sample-and-hold, and SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface - deployed in industrial process control data acquisition systems requiring high channel density and robust input protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1859IG#PBF datasheet, LTC1859IG#PBF pinout, LTC1859IG#PBF application, or LTC1859IG#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±3LSB integral nonlinearity over –40°C to +85°C, 87dB typical SNR, 28-pin SSOP package with three analog ground pins (AGND1/AGND2/AGND3), and dual power-down modes (Nap/Sleep) enabling <15µA standby current.
Technical Context
The LTC1859IG#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with a differential capacitive DAC and high-speed comparator, using an internal trimmed clock for guaranteed ≤5µs conversion time. Its programmable resistor-divider network precedes the 8-channel multiplexer, eliminating multiplexer on-resistance errors and enabling per-channel span and polarity configuration.
Input signal conditioning occurs before channel selection: each channel's attenuation and offset are set via 8-bit command words clocked into SDI, supporting simultaneous unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential configurations across the eight inputs. Fault protection to ±25V on all MUX inputs ensures channel isolation during overvoltage events without affecting conversion integrity on the selected channel.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SoftSpan™ software-programmable input ranges | Per-channel selection of 0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V eliminates external gain/level-shifting components and enables mixed-signal sensor arrays on one IC. |
| ±25V fault-protected analog inputs | Robust input clamping prevents latch-up and maintains conversion integrity on selected channels during field-wiring faults or ESD transients. |
| Three independent analog ground pins (AGND1/AGND2/AGND3) | Enables separate grounding of reference, MUX, and substrate sections to minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR above 100kHz. |
| SPI/MICROWIRE™ serial interface with BUSY and RD handshake | Allows direct connection to microcontrollers and DSPs without glue logic; BUSY flag enables interrupt-driven data reads and avoids polling overhead. |
| Dual power-down modes (Nap and Sleep) | Nap mode reduces current to 8mA (40mW), Sleep mode to 5.5µA - extends battery life in portable DAQ and enables rapid wake-up (<1µs) for event-triggered sampling. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606BSTZ | 8-channel, 16-bit, 200ksps, ±10V input, uses external reference; no per-channel span programming; requires ±5V dual supply or charge pump. | Higher throughput but fixed input range; better suited for high-speed synchronized sampling than flexible sensor interfacing. | Select AD7606BSTZ when absolute speed >100ksps and channel-to-channel simultaneity are required over per-channel range flexibility. |
| ADS8688IPWR | 8-channel, 16-bit, 100ksps, integrated reference, SPI interface; supports only 0–5V and ±5V ranges (no ±10V); lower INL (±1.5LSB) but no ±25V fault protection. | Lower input voltage tolerance and fewer span options limit use in legacy industrial fieldbus environments with ±10V standards. | Select ADS8688IPWR for cost-sensitive, non-hazardous applications where ±10V support and ±25V protection are unnecessary. |
Compared with AD7606BSTZ and ADS8688IPWR, the LTC1859IG#PBF uniquely combines per-channel software-programmable spans (including ±10V), ±25V fault tolerance, and single 5V supply operation - making it the only option for retrofitting legacy ±10V sensor networks into modern low-voltage embedded DAQ systems without redesigning front-end protection.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1859IG#PBF?
The LTC1859IG#PBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" grade suffix in the part number. This range is fully specified for all key parameters including ±3LSB integral nonlinearity, 87dB SNR, and 100ksps sampling rate - ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments such as factory floors and outdoor control cabinets without derating.
Does the LTC1859IG#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1859IG#PBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5V internal bandgap reference (VREF) and a 4.096V buffered reference output (REFCOMP) that drive the internal DAC. An external reference may be applied to VREF only if higher accuracy is needed; the internal reference supports full 16-bit performance with proper 1µF/10µF decoupling as specified in the datasheet for LTC1859IG#PBF.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC1859IG#PBF?
SoftSpan™ enables per-channel software-programmable input ranges via an 8-bit command word clocked into the SDI pin. Each channel can be independently configured for 0V–5V, 0V–10V, ±5V, or ±10V using on-chip resistor dividers that precede the multiplexer - eliminating multiplexer on-resistance errors and allowing mixed-range sensor inputs (e.g., thermocouples and strain gauges) on the same LTC1859IG#PBF device.
What are the power-down modes available on the LTC1859IG#PBF?
The LTC1859IG#PBF offers two user-selectable power-down modes: Nap mode (8mA supply current, 40mW dissipation) and Sleep mode (5.5µA supply current, <1µW dissipation). Both modes retain register settings and allow fast wake-up (<1µs) upon CONVST assertion, making LTC1859IG#PBF ideal for battery-powered or energy-conscious industrial monitoring nodes.
Can the LTC1859IG#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC1859IG#PBF supports 3V-compatible digital I/O: its RD, SCK, SDI, and SDO pins operate with VIH = 2.4V min and VIL = 0.8V max at VDD = 4.75V–5.25V, allowing direct connection to 3.3V logic without level shifters. The OVDD pin can be supplied at 3.3V to match the microcontroller's I/O voltage, while AVDD/DVDD remain at 5V for analog performance - a key design flexibility of the LTC1859IG#PBF.
