Product details
Overview
LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 150ksps single-channel successive approximation ADC with true differential analog input and external reference support. It operates on a single 2.7V–3.6V supply, draws only 450µA at full speed, and auto-shutdowns between conversions to reduce current to 10µA at 1ksps. Designed for compact, battery-powered data acquisition systems requiring high resolution and low power, it features SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial I/O in an 8-lead SO package.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its differential input architecture, 12-bit no-missing-codes performance, −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and compatibility with ratiometric or externally referenced signal chains in space-constrained instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold. Its conversion cycle is initiated by a rising edge on CONV, completes in 3.7–4.66µs, and outputs 12-bit data via SDO synchronized to SCK falling edges - compatible with standard SPI/MICROWIRE controllers without minimum clock rate constraints.
It supports unipolar differential input ranges from 0V to VREF (1V–3.6V), with high-impedance analog inputs (±1µA leakage) and input capacitance of 12pF in sample mode. The external VREF pin enables flexible scaling, while internal auto-power-down logic ensures dynamic current scaling across sampling frequencies from 1ksps to 150ksps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and full-scale linearity for precision measurement applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 150ksps maximum - supports real-time acquisition of signals up to ~30kHz full-linear bandwidth. |
| Supply Current | 450µA typical at 150ksps; drops to 10µA at 1ksps - enables ultra-low-power operation in sleep-aware embedded systems. |
| INL Error | ±1 LSB over full temperature range - maintains end-point accuracy without calibration in industrial environments. |
| SNR / THD | 72dB SNR and −86dB THD at 1kHz - suitable for medium-fidelity sensor digitization where harmonic distortion must be minimized. |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to VREF (1V–3.6V) differential - allows direct interface to low-voltage sensors or op-amp outputs without gain staging. |
| Reference Input | External VREF pin supports 1V–VCC range - enables ratiometric measurements or precision voltage referencing independent of supply. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline, narrow 0.150-inch body). Pin pitch: 0.050 inch (1.27 mm). RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Defines full-scale span; must be low-noise and bypassed to GND with ≥1µF capacitor - critical for absolute accuracy and ratiometric stability. |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input sampled simultaneously with IN−; accepts voltages from −0.05V to VCC+0.05V - enables direct connection to transducer outputs. |
| IN− (Pin 3) | Differential Analog Input (−) | Paired with IN+; common-mode rejection suppresses noise - supports true differential or pseudo-differential configurations. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Primary ground reference for analog circuitry; must connect directly to analog ground plane - prevents digital noise coupling into conversion path. |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge initiates conversion; held high after completion to enter auto-shutdown - simplifies timing control and reduces idle power. |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible output; data valid on SCK falling edge - interoperable with standard microcontroller peripherals. |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer; no minimum frequency required - supports burst reads and low-power polling modes. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | 2.7V–3.6V single supply; requires local 1µF tantalum bypass to GND - ensures stable reference and analog core operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Differential Input Architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on IN+/IN− pair - improves immunity in noisy industrial or portable environments without external instrumentation amps. |
| Auto-Power-Down Between Conversions | Reduces supply current from 450µA to 10µA at 1ksps - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like environmental monitors. |
| Flexible Reference Support | VREF pin accepts 1V–VCC (up to 3.6V) - enables ratiometric sensing with resistive bridges or precision external references (e.g., LT1460). |
| No Minimum Data Transfer Rate | Operates down to DC clocking - allows software-controlled variable sampling intervals and eliminates need for fixed-rate timing hardware. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Specified from −40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable performance in automotive cabin modules, industrial PLC I/O, and outdoor sensor nodes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1864LIS8#TRPBF | 16-bit resolution, same 150ksps rate and SO-8 package; higher 1.22mW power dissipation; identical pinout and interface. | Used where higher resolution is prioritized over power budget - e.g., precision calibration equipment requiring <0.5 LSB INL. | Select when 16-bit resolution justifies ~2.7× higher power and tighter layout tolerances for reference decoupling. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, 3V supply, but uses 4-wire SPI (separate SDI/SDO); no auto-shutdown; SO-8 package; TI-manufactured. | Preferred in TI-centric designs with existing SPI infrastructure; lacks differential input - requires external MUX or amplifier for dual-channel use. | Choose when system already uses TI's ADS78xx family and differential input is not required; verify layout for higher 1.2mA active current. |
Compared with LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF, LTC1864LIS8#TRPBF delivers 4-bit higher resolution at identical speed and footprint but consumes more power, while ADS7822U offers faster sampling and TI ecosystem alignment but sacrifices differential input capability and autonomous power management.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C (industrial grade). This range is explicitly specified in the "Order Information" section of the datasheet under the "LTC1860LIS8" part number, and all key AC/DC specifications - including INL, supply current, and SNR - are guaranteed across this full interval.
Does the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin (Pin 1). It does not include an internal reference. The device supports VREF from 1V to VCC (up to 3.6V), enabling ratiometric measurements or use with precision external references such as the LT1460 series.
Can the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF interface directly with a microcontroller's SPI peripheral?
Yes, the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF is SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible with a 3-wire interface (SCK, SDO, CONV). It requires no SDI line and has no minimum clock frequency, allowing direct connection to most MCU SPI peripherals in master mode - with CONV replacing CS and SDO used for data output only.
What is the maximum analog input voltage range for the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF accepts a differential input voltage range of 0V to VREF across IN+ and IN−. Absolute input limits are IN+ = −0.05V to VCC+0.05V and IN− = −0.05V to VCC/2. For rail-to-rail operation, tie IN− to GND and VREF to VCC - yielding a 0V to VCC unipolar span.
How does the auto-shutdown feature work on the LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1860LIS8#TRPBF automatically enters low-power shutdown when CONV remains high after conversion completion. At 1ksps, this reduces supply current from 450µA to 10µA. The device wakes instantly on the next CONV rising edge - eliminating startup delays and enabling precise, event-triggered sampling without external power control logic.
