Product details
Overview
LTC1864HMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps single-channel differential successive approximation ADC in an 8-lead MSOP package, operating from a single 5V supply with 850μA typical supply current at full speed and auto-shutdown to 2μA at 1ksps. It features true differential analog inputs (IN+, IN–), adjustable external reference (VREF), SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C - ideal for high-precision, low-power industrial sensor interfaces and isolated data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864HMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1864HMS8#PBF pinout, LTC1864HMS8#PBF application, or LTC1864HMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its H-grade temperature range, differential input architecture, 87dB SNR, 2.75μs conversion time, and compatibility with ratiometric or external reference configurations in compact, battery-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1864HMS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling precise 16-bit conversion without external support circuitry. Its differential input stage rejects common-mode noise, while the adjustable VREF pin allows full-scale spans from 1V to 5V - supporting direct connection to low-output-impedance sensors and eliminating gain stages in many signal chains.
Control is managed via a single CONV input that initiates conversion on the rising edge and enables SDO output on the falling edge; serial data is clocked out on SCK falling edges with synchronous capture on rising edges. The device automatically powers down between conversions, reducing current consumption proportionally with sampling rate - a critical feature for energy-constrained embedded instrumentation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, SPI interface, but requires external reference and has higher 1.5mA supply current at full speed | Targeted at higher-speed data loggers; lacks auto-shutdown and H-grade temp support | Select when sampling rate >250ksps is mandatory and thermal margin >125°C is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency of the LTC1864HMS8#PBF?
The LTC1864HMS8#PBF achieves a maximum sampling frequency of 250ksps under H-grade conditions (–40°C to +125°C), with a typical conversion time of 2.75μs. This performance is maintained across the full temperature range and is specified with VCC = 5V, VREF = 5V, and fSCK ≤ 20MHz. At lower sampling rates, the device automatically reduces supply current to conserve power.
Does the LTC1864HMS8#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1864HMS8#PBF does not require an external reference - it accepts an adjustable reference input (VREF) ranging from 1V to 5V, which can be supplied by an external precision source or derived from VCC. Unlike some ADCs, it contains no internal reference; the VREF pin directly sets full-scale range, enabling ratiometric measurements and flexible scaling for diverse sensor outputs.
How does the CONV pin function in the LTC1864HMS8#PBF?
The CONV pin in the LTC1864HMS8#PBF serves dual functions: a rising edge initiates conversion, and a falling edge enables the SDO output and places the device in sample mode. If left high after conversion completes, the LTC1864HMS8#PBF enters auto-shutdown mode, drawing only leakage current (~2μA at 1ksps). This eliminates the need for external power sequencing logic.
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for the LTC1864HMS8#PBF?
The LTC1864HMS8#PBF guarantees an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±8 LSB maximum over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), as specified for the H-grade version. This ensures monotonic behavior and end-point accuracy better than 0.12% of full scale - critical for closed-loop control and calibration-critical instrumentation where code missing or major carry errors are unacceptable.
Can the LTC1864HMS8#PBF operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, the LTC1864HMS8#PBF is specified for single-supply operation from 4.75V to 5.25V only. Its absolute maximum VCC rating is 7V, but the internal circuitry - including reference buffer and SAR core - is optimized for 5V nominal operation. Using 3.3V violates recommended operating conditions and will result in undefined performance, failed conversions, or potential damage due to insufficient headroom for internal biasing.
