Product details
Overview
LTC1859IG#TRPBF 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, ±3LSB integral nonlinearity, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface - used in industrial process control data acquisition systems requiring high channel density and flexible input range configuration.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1859IG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1859IG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1859IG#TRPBF application, or LTC1859IG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its SoftSpan™ programmable input ranges (0V–5V/0V–10V/±5V/±10V), differential/single-ended channel configuration, ±25V overvoltage protection per channel, 87dB SNR, and 28-pin SSOP industrial-grade packaging.
Technical Context
The LTC1859IG#TRPBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an integrated sample-and-hold, factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference, and internal 1.6384× gain buffer delivering 4.096V at REFCOMP. Its SoftSpan™ input scaling network precedes the 8-channel multiplexer to eliminate multiplexer on-resistance errors.
Conversion is initiated by CONVST rising edge; BUSY indicates active conversion; serial output is clocked via SCK with RD-controlled SDO enable. Input ranges and channel configuration are selected via 8-bit command word written to SDI before conversion start, enabling per-channel unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential mode selection.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the LTC1859IG#TRPBF support?
The LTC1859IG#TRPBF supports four software-selectable input ranges per channel: 0V to 5V, 0V to 10V, ±5V, and ±10V. These are implemented via on-chip resistor networks preceding the multiplexer, ensuring accurate scaling without external components. The LTC1859IG#TRPBF achieves this using a single 5V supply and maintains ±3LSB INL across all ranges.
Does the LTC1859IG#TRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1859IG#TRPBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference (VREF) and a buffered 4.096V output (REFCOMP) for driving the internal DAC. An external reference can be applied to VREF to improve accuracy, but it is not required. The LTC1859IG#TRPBF delivers full 16-bit performance using its internal reference in standard industrial applications.
How does the ±25V fault protection work on the LTC1859IG#TRPBF?
The LTC1859IG#TRPBF incorporates internal clamping diodes on all analog input pins (CH0–CH7, COM), rated for continuous ±25V operation. During overvoltage events, current is shunted through these diodes without latch-up, and conversion accuracy on the selected channel remains unaffected. This protection is inherent to the silicon design and requires no external components - a key feature of the LTC1859IG#TRPBF.
What is the purpose of the REFCOMP pin on the LTC1859IG#TRPBF?
The REFCOMP pin on the LTC1859IG#TRPBF provides a buffered 4.096V output derived from the internal 2.5V reference via a precision 1.6384× gain stage. It drives the internal capacitive DAC and can supply up to 2mA DC load. The LTC1859IG#TRPBF requires 10µF + 0.1µF decoupling on REFCOMP to maintain 16-bit accuracy and minimize noise coupling into the conversion process.
Can the LTC1859IG#TRPBF operate with a 3V digital interface?
Yes, the LTC1859IG#TRPBF supports 3V-compatible digital signaling: OVDD can be supplied from 3V to 5V, and all digital inputs (SDI, SCK, RD, CONVST) accept 3V logic levels while operating from a 5V AVDD/DVDD supply. This allows direct interfacing with 3V microcontrollers or FPGAs without level shifters - a verified capability of the LTC1859IG#TRPBF per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Digital Interface specifications.
