Product details
Overview
LTC1860IS8#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. It features auto-shutdown (1nA typical sleep current), SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and adjustable reference input. It is used in low-power portable instrumentation requiring high-resolution signal acquisition with minimal board space.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1860IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1860IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1860IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1860IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its SO-8 package, –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, differential input architecture, 72dB SNR, and compatibility with external references down to 1V full-scale.
Technical Context
The LTC1860IS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold. Its differential input stage rejects common-mode noise, and conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CONV, with result output via SDO synchronized to SCK falling edges.
It operates exclusively in unipolar differential mode (IN+ − IN−), supports external reference voltages from 1V to VCC, and achieves full linear bandwidth of 125kHz at ≥68dB SINAD. The SO-8 variant ties VREF internally to VCC, fixing full-scale span to VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for high-fidelity analog measurement |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| Supply Current (250ksps) | 850µA typical - allows battery operation in compact instrumentation without thermal derating |
| Sleep Current | 1nA typical - minimizes quiescent power between conversions in duty-cycled systems |
| INL Error | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity across full scale |
| SNR | 72 dB - supports >11.6 effective number of bits (ENOB) for precision sensor interfacing |
| Full Power Bandwidth | 20 MHz - permits faithful digitization of fast transients without slew-induced distortion |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic Small Outline (SO-8, Narrow, 0.150-inch width), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Tied internally to VCC in SO-8 package; defines full-scale span as VCC (no external reference required) |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input accepting 0V to VCC range; sampled simultaneously with IN− for CMRR |
| IN− (Pin 3) | Differential Analog Input (−) | High-impedance input accepting 0V to VCC/2 range; enables true differential measurement |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Single-point connection point for analog return path; must tie directly to analog ground plane |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge initiates conversion; held high after completion to enter 1nA sleep mode |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | 3-wire SPI-compatible output; 12-bit result shifted out MSB-first on SCK falling edges |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer; supports up to 20MHz clock (H-grade) for fast readout |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | Single 4.75V–5.25V supply; requires local 1µF tantalum bypass to GND for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1864CS8#TRPBF | 16-bit resolution, same SO-8 package and pinout, 250ksps, 4.25mW power | Higher resolution required for precision metrology; higher power and cost | Select when ENOB >11.6 bits is mandatory and system can accommodate +3.4mW dissipation |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, 2.7–5.25V supply, SPI interface, SO-8, 1.25mW at 200ksps | Wider supply range and lower voltage operation; slightly lower speed and SNR (70dB) | Choose for mixed-voltage systems or where 200ksps suffices and TI ecosystem integration is preferred |
Compared with LTC1860IS8#TRPBF, LTC1864CS8#TRPBF offers 4-bit higher resolution at identical speed and footprint but consumes 5× more power, while ADS7822U trades 50ksps speed and 2dB SNR for broader supply flexibility and TI support infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1860IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1860IS8#TRPBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated across all electrical specifications including INL, SNR, and supply current, making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory floors or outdoor instrumentation without thermal compensation.
Does the LTC1860IS8#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No. The LTC1860IS8#TRPBF uses the SO-8 package variant where VREF is internally tied to VCC, establishing a fixed full-scale span equal to the supply voltage (4.75V to 5.25V). No external reference component is needed, simplifying BOM and layout.
Can the LTC1860IS8#TRPBF interface directly with a microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting?
Yes. The LTC1860IS8#TRPBF digital I/O (CONV, SCK, SDO) is fully 5V-tolerant and compatible with standard 5V microcontrollers. VIH = 2.4V min and VOL = 0.4V max ensure robust logic-level interoperability without external level shifters.
How does the auto-shutdown feature of the LTC1860IS8#TRPBF reduce system power consumption?
The LTC1860IS8#TRPBF automatically enters a 1nA sleep state when CONV remains high after conversion completes. In a 1ksps sampling system, this reduces average supply current from 850µA to ~2µA - cutting power by >99% during idle intervals, which is critical for multi-year battery life.
Is the LTC1860IS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with any higher-resolution alternatives?
Yes. The LTC1860IS8#TRPBF shares identical SO-8 pinout and footprint with the 16-bit LTC1864CS8#TRPBF. This allows direct PCB replacement to upgrade resolution without layout changes - provided system firmware and power delivery accommodate the higher 4.25mW dissipation.
