Product details
Overview
LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF from Analog Devices is a micropower, 12-bit, 8-channel, 175ksps successive-approximation ADC with SPI/MICROWIRE serial interface, internal 1.25V reference, and true differential input capability. It operates from a single 2.7V supply, draws 750µA at full speed, and supports unipolar (0V–2.5V) or bipolar (±1.25V) conversion modes in industrial process control and battery-operated data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF datasheet, LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF pinout, LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF application, or LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.7V operation, automotive-grade –40°C to +85°C temperature range, AEC-Q100 qualification, 16-pin narrow SSOP package, and compatibility with LTC1863/LTC1867 pinouts for design reuse.
Technical Context
The LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF implements a capacitive successive-approximation architecture with a differential 12-bit SAR DAC and low-power comparator rejecting common-mode noise. Its analog input multiplexer supports configurable single-ended or differential channel pairs (e.g., CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3), with CH7/COM selectable as either an eighth channel or common-mode reference.
Digital control uses a 7-bit configuration word (SD, OS, S1, S0, COM, UNI, SLP) shifted via SDI to select channel, polarity, and sleep mode. Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CS/CONV; result is read via SDO synchronized to SCK, in straight binary (unipolar) or two's complement (bipolar) format, with automatic nap mode reducing current to 170µA between conversions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, multiplexed, low-power ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit resolution, 100ksps, SPI interface, no internal reference, requires external 2.5V reference | Higher resolution but lower sample rate; lacks integrated reference and automotive qualification | Select when 16-bit precision outweighs need for internal reference simplicity and AEC-Q100 compliance |
| LTC1864LIGN#PBF | 16-bit resolution, 175ksps, identical pinout and package, same internal reference, but commercial grade (0°C to 70°C) | Same electrical behavior and footprint, but not qualified for automotive or extended temperature use | Select for non-automotive industrial designs where extended temperature range is unnecessary and cost sensitivity favors commercial variant |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF?
The LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF guarantees a maximum sampling rate of 175ksps across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This throughput is achieved with a typical conversion time of 3.2µs and acquisition time of 2.01µs, enabling real-time capture of signals up to 87.5kHz bandwidth while maintaining 12-bit resolution and ±4LSB INL accuracy. The LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF maintains this performance with internal reference and 2.7V supply.
Does the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF includes a factory-trimmed, temperature-compensated 1.25V internal bandgap reference accessible at the VREF pin (Pin 10), eliminating the need for external reference components in most applications. The REFCOMP pin (Pin 9) provides a buffered 2.5V output derived from VREF. An external reference can be applied to VREF if improved accuracy or drift performance is required, leveraging the built-in 3kΩ series resistor.
How does the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF handle differential input configurations?
The LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF supports true differential inputs via its 8-channel analog multiplexer: CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, and CH6/CH7 form matched differential pairs, with common-mode rejection provided by the internal sample-and-hold and SAR architecture. Configuration is controlled by the 7-bit SDI word, where the SD (single/differential) and COM bits determine whether CH7/COM acts as a dedicated negative input or independent channel. This enables simultaneous differential and single-ended acquisitions in one scan sequence.
Is the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1863/LTC1867 family?
Yes, the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with the LTC1863 and LTC1867 families per the datasheet. It shares identical pin functions, package (16-lead narrow SSOP), and electrical interface with LTC1863LCGN#PBF, LTC1863LIGN#PBF, LTC1867LIGN#PBF, and others. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when upgrading to automotive-grade operation (–40°C to +85°C) and AEC-Q100 qualification, without PCB redesign or firmware changes.
What power-saving modes does the LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF support?
The LTC1863LIGN#WTRPBF supports two hardware-controlled power-saving modes: automatic nap mode and explicit sleep mode. Nap mode activates automatically when CS/CONV remains high after conversion completion, reducing supply current from 750µA to 170µA. Sleep mode is entered by setting the SLP bit in the 7-bit SDI configuration word, dropping current to 0.2µA. Wake-up from sleep requires 80ms stabilization time (t7) before valid conversions resume. Both modes preserve configuration state and require no register reinitialization.
