Product details
Overview
LTC1864IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation ADC with true differential analog inputs, adjustable reference input, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface in an 8-lead SO package. It operates on a single 5V supply, draws only 850μA at full speed, and auto-shutdowns to 2μA at 1ksps. Designed for high-precision, low-power data acquisition in industrial sensors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864IS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1864IS8#PBF pinout, LTC1864IS8#PBF application, or LTC1864IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C, differential input architecture enabling common-mode noise rejection, 87dB SNR at 10kHz, and SO-8 footprint compatibility with legacy 12-bit LTC1860/LTC1861 designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1864IS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting unipolar differential input ranges up to VREF (1V to 5V). Its conversion cycle is initiated by a rising edge on CONV, completing in 2.75–3.3μs, after which it enters sleep mode if CONV remains high.
Digital interface uses 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE protocol: SCK synchronizes data transfer, SDO outputs 16-bit results on falling edges, and CONV doubles as chip-select and power-control signal-low to enable SDO output, high to initiate conversion and auto-shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 1 part in 65,536 measurement granularity for high-accuracy sensor digitization |
| Max Sampling Rate | 250ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz full-linear bandwidth |
| Supply Current | 850μA typical at 250ksps; drops to 2μA at 1ksps - enables battery-powered operation for >1 year with proper duty cycling |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 87dB at DC–10kHz - ensures <0.0002% RMS noise floor for precision voltage monitoring |
| INL Error | ±8 LSB max over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and ≤0.12% full-scale linearity error |
| Analog Input Range | Differential: 0V to VREF (1V–5V); Absolute: IN+ and IN– each −0.05V to VCC+0.05V - allows direct connection to transducer outputs without level-shifting |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, automotive under-hood sensing, and outdoor instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline), surface-mount, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant; thermal resistance θJA = 175°C/W; rated for 150°C max junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Defines full-scale span; accepts 1V–5V external reference or connects to VCC for ratiometric operation |

| IN− (Pin 3) | Differential Analog Input (−) | Completes differential pair; zero code occurs when IN+ − IN− = 0V |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Single-point connection to analog ground plane; must be isolated from digital return paths |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert Control / Chip Select | Rising edge starts conversion; low state enables SDO output; high state after conversion triggers auto-sleep |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit result MSB-first on falling SCK edges; Hi-Z when CONV = high |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Accepts up to 20MHz clock (H-grade); synchronizes bit transfer timing and controls sampling window |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | 4.75V–5.25V single supply; requires ≥1μF tantalum bypass to GND adjacent to pin |

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; no auto-shutdown; higher 1.5mA typical supply current | Lower sampling rate limits use in dynamic signal capture; better suited for always-on industrial controllers than battery systems | Select when system requires wider supply range and lower cost, and can tolerate higher power draw |
| MAX11603EEE+ | 16-bit, 250ksps, internal reference, 2.7–3.6V supply; no external VREF pin; 1.2mA typical current | Fixed 2.048V reference eliminates external reference design but prevents ratiometric or custom span configurations | Select when board space is constrained and fixed reference suffices; avoid when interfacing with 5V sensors or needing VREF = VCC |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency of the LTC1864IS8#PBF?
The LTC1864IS8#PBF achieves a maximum sampling frequency of 250ksps at 25°C and −40°C to +85°C operating temperature. This is guaranteed for the I-grade version per datasheet Table "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS", with conversion time specified as 2.75–3.3μs. Performance remains stable across the full temperature range due to on-chip trimming and robust SAR architecture.
Does the LTC1864IS8#PBF support external reference voltages?
Yes, the LTC1864IS8#PBF supports external reference voltages from 1V to 5V applied to the VREF pin. This enables ratiometric measurements, low-voltage sensor interfacing, and improved noise immunity versus internal references. The device maintains full 16-bit performance across this range, with gain error specified at ±20mV and INL at ±8 LSB.
How does the auto-shutdown feature work on the LTC1864IS8#PBF?
The LTC1864IS8#PBF automatically powers down between conversions when the CONV pin is held high after conversion completion. At 1ksps, this reduces supply current to 2μA typical. The feature is inherent to the SAR architecture and requires no configuration-simply leave CONV high between samples to engage sleep mode and minimize average power consumption.
Is the LTC1864IS8#PBF pin-compatible with earlier Linear Technology ADCs?
Yes, the LTC1864IS8#PBF is pin-compatible with the 12-bit LTC1860/LTC1861 in the same SO-8 package. Pin mapping (VREF, IN+, IN−, GND, CONV, SDO, SCK, VCC) matches exactly, enabling drop-in upgrades to 16-bit resolution without PCB redesign-provided layout accommodates increased analog performance requirements like ground separation and bypassing.
What is the differential input voltage range specification for the LTC1864IS8#PBF?
The differential input voltage range for the LTC1864IS8#PBF is 0V to VREF, where VREF is externally applied (1V–5V). The absolute input voltage range for IN+ and IN− individually is −0.05V to VCC + 0.05V, allowing safe operation with small negative transients or overshoots. This supports direct connection to op-amp buffers and isolated signal chains without clamping diodes.
