Product details
Overview
LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 8-channel, 200ksps successive approximation ADC with integrated 2.5V reference, SPI/MICROWIRE serial 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 - ideal for industrial process control and battery-operated data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF datasheet, LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF pinout, LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF application, or LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes performance over –40°C to +85°C, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, automatic nap/sleep power management, and SSOP-16 package compatibility with LTC1867 series.
Technical Context
The LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF implements a capacitive SAR architecture with factory-trimmed internal clock (3µs typical conversion time), differential comparator, and 12-bit DAC array. Its analog input multiplexer accepts 7-bit configuration words to select channel pairs (e.g., CH0/CH1 differential) or single-ended inputs referenced to GND or CH7/COM.
Digital interface uses CS/CONV rising edge to initiate conversion, followed by SCK-synchronized readout on SDO in straight binary (unipolar) or two's complement (bipolar) format. Internal reference includes VREF (2.5V ±15ppm/°C) and buffered REFCOMP (4.096V) with dedicated bypassing requirements (2.2µF + 0.1µF on VREF; 10µF + 0.1µF on REFCOMP).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function and no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
| Sample Rate | 200ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 1.25MHz full-power bandwidth with guaranteed timing. |
| INL | ±1 LSB max (unipolar) - ensures <0.025% end-point linearity error for precision sensor interfacing. |
| SNR | 73.6dB typical - supports >12-bit effective resolution for low-noise measurement applications. |
| Supply Current | 1.3mA at 200ksps; 150µA in nap mode - enables ultra-low-power operation in portable or energy-constrained systems. |
| Analog Input Range | 0–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar) - matches standard industrial voltage levels and simplifies signal conditioning. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5V bandgap (±15ppm/°C tempco) with 4.096V buffered output - eliminates external reference component count while maintaining accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 0.15mm lead pitch, –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH6 (Pins 1–7) | Analog Input Channels | Single-ended or differential "+" inputs; support programmable pairing (e.g., CH0/CH1) via SDI configuration word. |
| CH7/COM (Pin 8) | Configurable Channel / Common Input | Functions as eighth channel (CH7) when COM=0; serves as common "–" input for all channels when COM=1. |
| REFCOMP (Pin 9) | Buffered Reference Output | 4.096V output requiring 10µF + 0.1µF bypass; used as ADC reference input; tied to GND to enable external reference mode. |
| VREF (Pin 10) | Internal Reference Tap | 2.5V bandgap output with 6kΩ series resistor; can be overdriven by external reference for improved drift/accuracy. |
| CS/CONV (Pin 11) | Conversion Start / Serial Frame | Rising edge initiates conversion; falling edge enables serial data output; controls nap/sleep entry timing. |
| SCK (Pin 12) | Serial Clock Input | Accepts up to 40MHz clock; synchronizes 12-bit data shift-out on SDO and config word shift-in on SDI. |
| SDO (Pin 13) | Serial Data Output | Outputs conversion result in straight binary (unipolar) or two's complement (bipolar); high-impedance when CS/CONV high. |
| SDI (Pin 14) | Serial Data Input | Accepts 7-bit configuration word (SD OS S1 S0 COM UNI SLP) to set channel, polarity, and power mode before each conversion. |
| GND (Pin 15) | Analog/Digital Ground | Common return for analog inputs, reference, and digital I/O; requires low-impedance ground plane per layout guidelines. |
| VDD (Pin 16) | Power Supply | Single 4.75–5.25V supply powering analog core, reference, and digital interface; requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypass. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1867IGN#WTRPBF | 16-bit resolution, ±2LSB INL, 89dB SNR vs 12-bit/73.6dB of LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF; identical pinout, package, and interface. | Required where higher dynamic range is critical (e.g., vibration analysis, audio test equipment); not drop-in due to resolution-dependent firmware scaling. | Select LTC1867IGN#WTRPBF when system-level noise floor demands >14-bit ENOB and cost premium is acceptable. |
| AD7928BRUZ | 12-bit, 8-channel, 1MSPS SAR ADC; no internal reference; requires external 2.5V ref; SPI-compatible but different timing and control register map. | Used in high-speed industrial DAQ where throughput >200ksps is needed; lacks automotive qualification and integrated reference. | Choose AD7928BRUZ only if higher sample rate justifies added BOM complexity and qualification effort. |
Compared with LTC1867IGN#WTRPBF, the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF trades resolution and SNR for lower power and cost while retaining identical automotive qualification and footprint; versus AD7928BRUZ, it delivers simplified design through integrated reference and guaranteed nap-mode current, at the expense of maximum sample rate.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF?
The LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. This extended industrial temperature range is confirmed in the manufacturer's order information table and absolute maximum ratings section, with thermal resistance θJA = 95°C/W and TJMAX = 110°C.
Does the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5V internal bandgap reference with ±15ppm/°C tempco and buffered 4.096V output at REFCOMP. External reference is optional - achieved by tying VREF to GND and driving REFCOMP with a precision 4.096V source - but not required for standard operation.
How does the nap mode function in the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF?
The LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF enters automatic nap mode when CS/CONV remains high after conversion completion, reducing supply current from 1.3mA to 150µA. During nap mode, VREF and REFCOMP remain active, enabling rapid resumption of sampling without reference stabilization delay - critical for duty-cycled sensor systems.
Can the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF perform differential measurements?
Yes, the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF supports true differential input configurations via its 8-channel MUX. Setting the SD (single/differential) bit and COM bit in the 7-bit SDI configuration word enables differential pairs such as CH0/CH1 or CH0/CH7/COM, with simultaneous sampling and >100dB channel-to-channel isolation at 100kHz.
What package type is used for the LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF?
The LTC1863IGN#WTRPBF is housed in a 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN) package with 0.15mm lead pitch. This compact surface-mount package is explicitly listed in the order information table and pin configuration diagram, and is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
