Product details
Overview
LTC1861CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 250ksps, 2-channel serial ADC in an 8-lead SOIC package, operating from a single 5V supply with 850µA typical supply current and software-selectable multiplexer control. It features true differential input capability per channel, SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and internal VREF tied to VCC for fixed full-scale range.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1861CS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1861CS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1861CS8#TRPBF equivalent, this device supports low-power portable instrumentation, isolated data acquisition, and compact embedded systems requiring precise dual-channel sampling without external reference circuitry.
Technical Context
The LTC1861CS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor successive approximation architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and a 2-bit configuration word shifted in via SDI to select between four analog input combinations (single-ended CH0/GND, CH1/GND, or differential CH0–CH1, CH1–CH0). Its SO-8 variant fixes VREF = VCC, eliminating external reference components but limiting full-scale span to 4.75V–5.25V.
Conversion timing is deterministic: tCONV ≤ 3.3µs at 250ksps, with auto-shutdown reducing supply current to 1nA between conversions. Digital I/O complies with 5V logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.4V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), and SDO output drive supports 360µA sink at 2.4V VOH, enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-channel, serial-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1861IMS8#TRPBF | 10-lead MSOP package with externally adjustable VREF (1V–5.25V), –40°C to 85°C temp range | Supports wider input spans and extended temperature operation; requires external reference decoupling | Select when variable full-scale range or industrial temperature grade is required |
| LTC1865CMS#TRPBF | 16-bit resolution, same 250ksps rate, 10-lead MSOP, external VREF, higher SNR (89dB) | Delivers 4× finer quantization but doubles power (1.3mA) and increases cost and layout complexity | Select when 16-bit precision outweighs power and cost trade-offs in high-end instrumentation |
Compared with LTC1861IMS8#TRPBF, the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF trades external reference flexibility and extended temperature range for lower cost and simpler layout; versus LTC1865CMS#TRPBF, it prioritizes power efficiency and BOM simplicity over resolution-making it optimal for commercial-grade dual-channel sensing where 12-bit fidelity suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency of the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1861CS8#TRPBF achieves a maximum sampling frequency of 250ksps, with guaranteed conversion time ≤3.3µs across the 0°C to 70°C operating range. This allows full-bandwidth digitization of signals up to 125kHz while maintaining 72dB SNR and ±2 LSB INL accuracy.
Does the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF require an external voltage reference?
No, the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF does not require an external voltage reference. Its SO-8 package internally ties VREF to VCC, establishing a fixed full-scale range equal to the supply voltage (4.75V–5.25V), simplifying design and reducing component count.
How many analog input channels does the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF support?
The LTC1861CS8#TRPBF supports two analog input channels (CH0 and CH1), selectable via a 2-bit configuration word shifted into SDI. It enables four input modes: single-ended CH0/GND, CH1/GND, or differential CH0–CH1 and CH1–CH0.
What is the supply current consumption of the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF at 250ksps?
At 250ksps, the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF draws 850µA typical supply current from a 5V rail. Between conversions, it automatically enters shutdown mode drawing only 1nA, making it ideal for burst-sampling and battery-powered applications.
Is the LTC1861CS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1860/LTC1861 family?
The LTC1861CS8#TRPBF shares the same 8-pin SOIC pinout as the LTC1860CS8#TRPBF but differs functionally: LTC1860 has differential IN+/IN– inputs, while LTC1861CS8#TRPBF uses CH0/CH1 with SDI for MUX control. Pin compatibility exists only within same-function variants-not across LTC1860/LTC1861 families.
