Product details
Overview
LTC1864AIS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation ADC with true differential analog inputs, single 5V supply operation, and auto-shutdown power management. It features 850μA typical supply current at full speed, 87dB SNR, ±6 LSB INL (A-grade), and operates across –40°C to +85°C in an 8-lead SOIC package. It is used in precision, low-power data acquisition systems requiring high resolution without external gain stages.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864AIS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1864AIS8#PBF pinout, LTC1864AIS8#PBF application, or LTC1864AIS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential input architecture, adjustable reference support down to 1V full-scale, SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and guaranteed performance over industrial temperature range - all critical for battery-powered instrumentation and isolated sensing designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1864AIS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling precise 16-bit conversion at up to 250ksps. Its differential input stage rejects common-mode noise, and the adjustable VREF pin allows flexible scaling from 1V to 5V full-scale span.
It uses a 3-wire serial interface (CONV, SCK, SDO) with CONV-controlled conversion initiation and automatic sleep mode entry after conversion completion. The device draws only 2μA at 1ksps, making it suitable for duty-cycled measurement systems where power budget is constrained.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, standard JEDEC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Defines full-scale range; accepts 1V–5V; must be bypassed with ≥1μF capacitor to AGND |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input sampled simultaneously with IN–; supports rail-to-rail input when IN– = GND |
| IN– (Pin 3) | Differential Analog Input (–) | Common-mode rejection path; tied to GND for unipolar single-ended operation |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Primary return for analog circuitry; must connect directly to low-impedance analog ground plane |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge initiates conversion; held high after conversion enters ultra-low-power sleep mode (2μA) |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible output; data valid on falling SCK edge; enabled when CONV is low |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes 16-bit data transfer; max frequency 20MHz (H-grade), 16.7MHz (standard) |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | Single 4.75V–5.25V supply; requires local 1μF tantalum bypass to GND for noise-sensitive operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, 100ksps, SPI interface, 2.7–5.5V supply, 3.5mW typical power at 100ksps | Lower speed and higher power; no auto-shutdown; requires external reference | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-speed industrial systems where board space allows external reference design |
| MAX11101ETE+ | 16-bit, 500ksps, internal reference, 2.7–3.6V supply, 2.5mW at 500ksps | Higher speed but narrower supply range; fixed 2.048V reference limits full-scale flexibility | Choose for compact, single-supply 3.3V systems needing faster throughput and internal reference simplicity |
Compared with ADS8325IPW and MAX11101ETE+, the LTC1864AIS8#PBF offers superior power efficiency at 250ksps (850μA vs >2mA), wider reference adjustability (1V–5V), and guaranteed industrial temperature operation - making it optimal for battery-constrained, multi-sensor, or wide-input-span applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1864AIS8#PBF?
The LTC1864AIS8#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 250ksps at full 16-bit resolution. This is achieved with a minimum conversion time of 2.75μs (typical) and requires SCK frequencies up to 20MHz for H-grade variants. At lower speeds, the device automatically reduces supply current - dropping to 2μA at 1ksps - preserving accuracy while optimizing power.
Does the LTC1864AIS8#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1864AIS8#PBF does not require an external reference, but it is designed to accept one. Its VREF pin supports externally applied references from 1V to 5V, enabling flexible full-scale adjustment. When no external reference is used, VREF may be tied to VCC for a 5V full-scale span - a configuration validated across the –40°C to +85°C operating range for the LTC1864AIS8#PBF.
How does the CONV pin function in the LTC1864AIS8#PBF?
The CONV pin on the LTC1864AIS8#PBF serves dual roles: a rising edge initiates conversion, and holding it high after conversion completion places the device into ultra-low-power sleep mode (2μA). A falling edge enables the SDO pin to output data. This control scheme eliminates the need for separate power-down commands and simplifies timing-critical firmware implementations in the LTC1864AIS8#PBF.
What is the input impedance of the LTC1864AIS8#PBF analog inputs?
The LTC1864AIS8#PBF analog inputs exhibit high DC impedance (>1GΩ) but present dynamic capacitive loading during sampling (12pF in sample mode). To avoid settling errors, source impedances should remain below 200Ω, or high-speed op amps (e.g., LT1807, LT1810) must condition the signal. This behavior is inherent to its switched-capacitor SAR architecture and is fully characterized in the LTC1864AIS8#PBF datasheet.
Is the LTC1864AIS8#PBF pin-compatible with earlier 12-bit versions?
Yes, the LTC1864AIS8#PBF is pin-compatible with the 12-bit LTC1860 and LTC1861 in the same 8-lead SOIC package. This allows direct drop-in replacement to upgrade resolution without layout changes. All pin functions - VREF, IN+, IN–, GND, CONV, SDO, SCK, and VCC - match identically, and the serial interface protocol remains compatible, simplifying migration paths for existing LTC1864AIS8#PBF-based designs.
