Product details
Overview
LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, single-channel, successive-approximation ADC with true differential analog input, operating on a single 5V supply at up to 250ksps sampling rate and drawing only 850µA typical supply current. It features auto-shutdown to 1nA between conversions, SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and adjustable reference input supporting 1V to 5V full-scale spans - used in portable instrumentation and isolated data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its MSOP-8 package, guaranteed operation from 0°C to 70°C, differential input architecture, low-power shutdown behavior, and compatibility with ratiometric or external reference designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling precise differential voltage measurement between IN+ and IN– pins. Its conversion timing is fixed at 3.2µs max (H-grade), synchronized by CONV pulse initiation and SCK-driven serial readout on falling edges.
It supports rail-to-rail input operation when IN– is grounded and VREF = VCC, delivers 72dB SNR and 71dB SINAD at 100kHz input, and maintains ±1 LSB INL over temperature - all while maintaining high-impedance analog inputs (±1µA leakage) and 12pF input capacitance in sample mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for high-fidelity signal digitization |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to ~125kHz full-linear bandwidth |
| Supply Current | 850µA typ at 250ksps; drops to 1nA in auto-shutdown - enables battery-powered operation |
| INL Error | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity without missing codes |
| Reference Range | 1V to VCC (5V) - allows flexible scaling from low-voltage sensors to rail-to-rail inputs |
| SNR | 72dB - supports >11.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for precision measurement |
| Digital Interface | SPI/MICROWIRE 3-wire serial - simplifies MCU/DSP integration with minimal GPIO usage |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8), 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch, lead-free finish, rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Defines full-scale span; must be low-noise and stable - accepts 1V to 5V, enabling ratiometric or precision reference use |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input sampled simultaneously with IN–; common-mode rejection improves noise immunity |
| IN– (Pin 3) | Differential Analog Input (–) | Paired with IN+; grounding IN– enables unipolar rail-to-rail input on IN+ |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Primary ground reference for analog circuitry; requires direct connection to analog ground plane |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge initiates conversion; held high after completion enters 1nA sleep mode; falling edge enables SDO |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | Outputs 12-bit result MSB-first on falling SCK edges; tri-stated when CONV is high |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer; supports up to 20MHz clock (H-grade); receiver captures on rising edge |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | Single 4.75V–5.25V supply; requires local 1µF tantalum bypass to GND for noise-sensitive operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto power-down between conversions | Reduces ICC to 1nA typical - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications |
| True differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on IN+/IN– pair - critical for noisy industrial sensor interfaces |
| Adjustable reference input (1V–5V) | Enables direct connection to low-output sensors (e.g., 1V-output RTDs) without gain stages |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C (MSOP) | This C-grade part operates reliably from 0°C to 70°C; H-grade variant supports extended range |
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Shares footprint and interface with 16-bit LTC1864 - allows resolution scalability without PCB change |
Applications
| Portable Instrumentation | Isolated Data Acquisition |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Handheld multimeter or environmental sensor node powered by coin cell or Li-ion battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary ADC digitizing analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor, pressure bridge) with minimal power overhead. Use Value: 850µA active current and 1nA shutdown enable multi-year battery life in wake-on-event architectures. |
Use Scenario: Industrial sensor node transmitting data across opto-isolated or transformer-coupled barrier. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local-side ADC capturing analog field signals before isolation; synchronized via isolated SCK/CONV lines. Use Value: Differential input rejects ground-loop noise; 3-wire interface minimizes isolation channel count vs parallel bus. |
| Compact Embedded Monitoring | Low-Power Battery-Operated Systems |
Use Scenario: Space-constrained embedded controller monitoring motor current, voltage, or temperature. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed, low-footprint ADC interfacing directly to microcontroller GPIOs via SPI. Use Value: MSOP-8 package (3×3mm) saves board area; 250ksps supports control-loop sampling at ≤100kHz rates. |
Use Scenario: Wireless sensor tag performing periodic analog measurements before RF transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Burst-mode ADC activated by MCU timer, converting then returning to 1nA sleep until next trigger. Use Value: Auto-shutdown eliminates software-controlled power gating; fast 3.2µs conversion enables short wake windows. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, low-power, serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1864CMS8#PBF | 16-bit resolution, same MSOP-8 package, 250ksps, 4.25mW power, pin-compatible but higher accuracy | Requires higher-precision references and layout; not drop-in due to increased noise sensitivity and code width | Select when ENOB > 12-bit is required and system can accommodate tighter layout and reference stability demands |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, 2.7V–5.25V supply, SPI interface, SO-8 package, 1.25mW at 200ksps | SO-8 footprint differs from MSOP-8; lacks differential input - uses pseudo-differential IN+/IN– with shared reference | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-differential applications where SO-8 is preferred and 50ksps lower speed is acceptable |
Compared with LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF, LTC1864CMS8#PBF offers higher resolution at identical speed and package but demands stricter layout and reference design, while ADS7822U provides lower-cost SO-8 compatibility at reduced performance and no true differential capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency of the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF supports a maximum sampling frequency of 250ksps at 5V supply and 25°C. At extended temperature ranges or under worst-case process/voltage conditions, the guaranteed maximum remains 250ksps for the C-grade version per datasheet specifications.
Does the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF support true differential input operation?
Yes, the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF features true differential analog inputs (IN+, IN–) that measure the voltage difference between the two pins. This architecture provides inherent common-mode noise rejection and enables precise measurement of floating or bipolar signals.
What is the supply current of the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF during active conversion?
The LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF draws 850µA typical supply current at 250ksps and 5V supply. Current scales downward at lower sampling rates due to automatic power-down between conversions, reaching 1nA in sleep mode when CONV is held high.
Can the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF operate with a 1V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF supports reference voltages from 1V to VCC (5V). With a 1V VREF, the device achieves 1V full-scale range, enabling direct digitization of low-output sensors without amplification - confirmed in the "Reference Input" section of the datasheet.
Which package type does the LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF use?
The LTC1860CMS8#TRPBF uses an 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8) package measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm with 0.65mm lead pitch. It is lead-free, tape-and-reel packaged (#TRPBF suffix), and rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
