Product details
Overview
LTC1864CS8#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 SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface in an 8-lead SO package. It features auto shutdown (850μA typical at full speed, dropping to 2μA at 1ksps), 87dB SNR, ±2mV offset error, and guaranteed operation from 0°C to 70°C - ideal for portable instrumentation requiring high resolution and low power.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864CS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1864CS8#PBF pinout, LTC1864CS8#PBF application, or LTC1864CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential input architecture, VREF-tied-to-VCC configuration in SO-8, 2.75μs conversion time, 125kHz full linear bandwidth, and compatibility with ratiometric sensing or external reference designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1864CS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting unipolar differential input ranges up to VREF (internally tied to VCC in SO-8). Its timing is controlled by a rising-edge-activated CONV signal and synchronized serial data transfer via SCK/SDO.
It operates exclusively in 1-channel mode (no MUX), requires no SDI input (unlike LTC1865), and uses a fixed VREF = VCC configuration - eliminating external reference components but limiting full-scale span to 4.75V–5.25V per operating conditions. Power management is fully automatic: high-CONV enables sleep mode between conversions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output codes for high-precision measurement |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps - supports real-time acquisition of signals up to 125kHz full linear bandwidth |
| Supply Current | 850μA typ at 250ksps; drops to 2μA at 1ksps - enables battery-powered operation with dynamic power scaling |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 87dB - ensures >14 effective bits of resolution under DC/low-frequency conditions |
| INL Error | ±8 LSB max - guarantees monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity across full temperature range |
| Conversion Time | 2.75μs typ - defines minimum inter-conversion interval and maximum achievable throughput |
| Input Voltage Range | Differential: 0V to VCC (4.75V–5.25V); absolute IN+/IN−: –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V - allows direct connection to op-amp buffers without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) with θJA = 175°C/W, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, lead-free finish (PBF).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (1) | Reference Input | Internally tied to VCC in SO-8 package; sets full-scale span equal to supply voltage - no external reference required |
| IN+ (2) | Positive Analog Input | Differential input terminal; sampled simultaneously with IN− for common-mode noise rejection |
| IN− (3) | Negative Analog Input | Differential input terminal; zero code occurs when IN+ − IN− = 0V |
| GND (4) | Analog Ground | Single ground reference for analog section; must connect directly to low-impedance analog ground plane |
| CONV (5) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge initiates conversion; held high after completion forces auto-sleep mode |
| SDO (6) | Serial Data Output | 3-wire SPI-compatible output; 16-bit result shifted out MSB-first on falling SCK edge |
| SCK (7) | Serial Clock Input | Master-controlled clock synchronizing data transfer; rising edge captures data, falling edge outputs |
| VCC (8) | Positive Supply | Single 4.75V–5.25V supply; bypassing with ≥1μF tantalum to GND is mandatory for specified AC performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Differential Input Architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on IN+/IN− pair - eliminates need for external instrumentation amplifiers in noisy environments |
| Auto Shutdown Between Conversions | Reduces average current from 850μA to 2μA at 1ksps - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications |
| VREF = VCC Internal Tie (SO-8) | Removes external reference IC and associated layout complexity - simplifies BOM and PCB routing |
| Guaranteed Operation to +70°C | Validated performance across commercial temperature range - suitable for industrial control panels and embedded test equipment |
| High Impedance Analog Inputs | ±1μA leakage current - enables direct connection to high-output-impedance sensors (e.g., thermocouples, RTDs with gain stages) |

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, internal reference option; no auto shutdown | Lower sampling rate but wider supply range and optional internal reference - better for mixed-voltage systems | Select when system lacks stable 5V rail or requires internal reference flexibility; trade-off is 2.5× slower throughput |
| MAX11206ETE+ | 16-bit, 125ksps, SPI, 2.7–3.6V supply, built-in PGA (1–128×), internal reference | Integrated programmable gain amplifier enables direct connection to mV-level sensors - eliminates external gain stage | Choose when measuring low-amplitude signals (e.g., strain gauges) without external op-amps; incompatible with 5V-only systems |
Compared with ADS8325IPW and MAX11206ETE+, the LTC1864CS8#PBF delivers the highest sampling rate (250ksps) and lowest active current (850μA) in a 5V-only, no-PGA, no-internal-reference configuration - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-throughput, battery-conscious designs where external reference and gain are already implemented.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage configuration for LTC1864CS8#PBF?
The LTC1864CS8#PBF has its VREF pin internally tied to VCC in the SO-8 package, meaning the full-scale input range is fixed to the supply voltage (4.75V–5.25V). This eliminates the need for an external reference but precludes independent reference scaling. The LTC1864CS8#PBF does not support external VREF connection in this package variant.
Does LTC1864CS8#PBF support multiple analog input channels?
No. The LTC1864CS8#PBF is a single-channel device with true differential inputs (IN+, IN−). Unlike the LTC1865 family, it contains no multiplexer and cannot switch between input sources. Its function is strictly dedicated to high-accuracy conversion of one differential pair per conversion cycle.
What is the minimum setup time required for the CONV signal relative to the first SCK edge?
The LTC1864CS8#PBF requires a minimum setup time (tsuCONV) of 30ns between the falling edge of CONV and the first rising edge of SCK to ensure reliable data capture. This timing parameter is guaranteed across the full 0°C to 70°C operating range and must be met in PCB layout and controller firmware timing loops.
Can LTC1864CS8#PBF operate with a 3.3V supply?
No. The LTC1864CS8#PBF is specified only for 4.75V to 5.25V single-supply operation. Its internal circuitry, including the reference tie and comparator thresholds, is optimized for 5V. Attempting 3.3V operation will result in undefined behavior, failed conversions, or permanent damage due to violation of Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the auto shutdown feature of LTC1864CS8#PBF reduce system power consumption?
The LTC1864CS8#PBF automatically enters ultra-low-power sleep mode (2μA typical) whenever the CONV pin remains high after conversion completes. This eliminates idle current draw between samples - critical for duty-cycled applications like periodic sensor polling. The LTC1864CS8#PBF resumes full operation within nanoseconds upon the next CONV rising edge, with no wake-up latency penalty.
