Product details
Overview
LTC1863CGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 8-channel, 200ksps successive approximation ADC with integrated 2.5V reference, SPI/MICROWIRE interface, and configurable single-ended/differential input multiplexer. It operates from a single 5V supply, draws 1.3mA at full speed, and supports unipolar (0–4.096V) or bipolar (±2.048V) conversion modes - used in industrial process control and battery-operated data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1863CGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1863CGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1863CGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes performance, ±1LSB max INL over temperature, automatic nap mode power management, and narrow 16-pin SSOP packaging for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1863CGN#TRPBF implements a capacitive SAR architecture with factory-trimmed internal clock (typ. 3µs conversion time), differential comparator, and 7-bit configuration word controlling channel selection, input mode (single-ended/differential), polarity (unipolar/bipolar), and sleep activation. Its analog input MUX supports flexible topologies including 8 single-ended, 4 differential, or mixed configurations using CH7/COM as common terminal.
It integrates a curvature-corrected bandgap reference (2.5V ±20mV, ±15ppm/°C tempco) buffered to VREF (Pin 10) and amplified to 4.096V at REFCOMP (Pin 9), both requiring specific bypassing (2.2µF + 0.1µF and 10µF + 0.1µF respectively). Digital I/O complies with SPI timing up to 40MHz SCK, with CS/CONV serving dual roles: conversion trigger and serial frame enable.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 0.150" body width, 0.025" lead pitch - compatible with standard surface-mount reflow processes and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH6 (Pins 1–7) | Analog Input Channel | Single-ended inputs or positive terminals for differential pairs; low leakage (±1µA) enables direct connection to high-impedance sensors. |
| CH7/COM (Pin 8) | Configurable Terminal | Functions as eighth channel or common-mode reference (–) for differential/singles-ended modes based on COM bit in config word. |
| REFCOMP (Pin 9) | Reference Buffer Output | Provides 4.096V reference for ADC core; requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypass to GND for stable low-noise operation. |
| VREF (Pin 10) | Internal Reference Tap | Delivers 2.5V ±20mV bandgap voltage; can be overdriven externally via 6kΩ series resistor for improved accuracy/drift. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, 4-channel, SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external 2.5V reference and external MUX for >4 channels. | Lower channel count limits use in 8-sensor systems without added components; higher 2.5mA supply current increases power budget. | Select when system already includes precision external reference and needs lower-cost 4-channel solution with identical speed. |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, 8-channel, internal 4.096V reference, SPI interface - faster sampling but higher 3.2mA active current and larger 16-TQFN package. | Higher speed suits burst-mode acquisition; larger package footprint and thermal dissipation may limit use in ultra-compact designs. | Select when throughput >200ksps is required and board space allows 3mm × 3mm TQFN; verify thermal derating in sealed enclosures. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11131ETE+, the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF delivers optimal balance of integrated functionality (8-channel MUX + 2.5V reference), ultra-low nap-mode current (150µA), and compact SSOP packaging - making it ideal for space- and power-constrained industrial data acquisition where 200ksps suffices.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1863CGN#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its part number. This commercial-grade specification ensures reliable performance in controlled-environment industrial electronics and benchtop instrumentation where extended temperature ranges are not required. The device maintains ±1 LSB INL and 200ksps throughput across this full range.
Does the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5V internal bandgap reference accessible at Pin 10 (VREF) and amplified to 4.096V at Pin 9 (REFCOMP). External reference is optional - only needed when tighter initial accuracy (<±20mV) or lower drift (<±15ppm/°C) is required. The internal reference eliminates BOM cost and board space in most 12-bit applications.
How does the automatic nap mode reduce power consumption in the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1863CGN#TRPBF enters automatic nap mode when CS/CONV remains high after conversion completion, reducing supply current from 1.3mA to 150µA. This hardware-managed state keeps VREF and REFCOMP active but disables the SAR logic and comparator - cutting dynamic power while preserving reference stability for rapid wake-up. At 10ksps, average current drops to ~180µA.
Can the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF perform differential measurements?
Yes, the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF supports true differential measurements using any of four channel pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7) or CHX/CH7/COM combinations. The 7-bit configuration word selects differential mode (SD=0), odd/sign bit (OS), and channel address (S1/S0). Differential inputs reject common-mode noise and enable precise measurement of floating or ground-referenced signals.
What is the maximum SCK frequency supported by the LTC1863CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1863CGN#TRPBF supports SCK frequencies up to 40MHz, as specified in the Timing Characteristics table. This allows fast serial readout of the 12-bit result in under 300ns per bit, enabling full conversion + readout cycles within the 5µs window at 200ksps. Setup (t5=15ns) and hold (t6=10ns) times are guaranteed over temperature, ensuring robust timing margin with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals.
