Product details
Overview
LTC1864LACS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 150ksps successive approximation ADC with true differential analog input, single 3V supply operation, and auto-shutdown power management. It features 450µA typical supply current at full speed, 82dB SNR, ±8 LSB INL, and MSOP-8 package - designed for precision, low-power data acquisition in portable instrumentation and isolated sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864LACS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1864LACS8#PBF pinout, LTC1864LACS8#PBF application, or LTC1864LACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential input architecture, external reference flexibility (1V to VCC), SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and guaranteed no missing codes over temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC1864LACS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold. Its conversion cycle is initiated by a rising edge on CONV, completes in 3.7–4.66 µs, and automatically enters sleep mode (10µA) when CONV remains high - enabling dynamic power scaling across sampling frequencies from 1ksps to 150ksps.
Analog inputs (IN+, IN−) operate in unipolar differential mode with high-impedance sampling (±1µA leakage), supporting input spans down to 1V full-scale. The external VREF pin allows ratiometric or absolute measurement configurations, while digital I/O complies with SPI timing (8MHz SCK max) and supports zero-latency data readout after conversion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output codes for high-precision voltage digitization |
| Max Sampling Rate | 150ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to ~20kHz full-linear bandwidth |
| Supply Current | 450µA typ @ 150ksps; drops to 10µA @ 1ksps - enables battery life extension in portable systems |
| INL Error | ±8 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and linearity critical for closed-loop control feedback |
| SNR | 82dB - supports >13 effective bits (ENOB) for clean signal reconstruction |
| Reference Range | 1V to VCC (3.6V max) - permits direct interfacing with low-voltage sensors or precision references |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (MS8), 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.86mm body, 0.65mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, lead-free (Pb-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Defines full-scale span; accepts 1V–VCC; must be bypassed with ≥1µF to AGND for noise immunity |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input sampled simultaneously with IN−; rejects common-mode noise |
| IN− (Pin 3) | Differential Analog Input (−) | Paired with IN+; zero code occurs when IN+ − IN− = 0V |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Primary ground reference for analog circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to analog plane |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge starts conversion; low level enables SDO output; high level triggers auto-shutdown |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | 16-bit result shifted out MSB-first on falling SCK edge; tri-stated when CONV is high |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer; supports up to 8MHz; receiver captures on rising edge |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | Single 2.7V–3.6V supply; requires local 1µF bypass to GND for stable conversion performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto Shutdown Power Management | Reduces ICC from 450µA to 10µA at 1ksps - eliminates need for external power-gating logic |
| True Differential Input Architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on IN+/IN− pair - enables accurate measurements in electrically noisy environments |
| No Missing Codes Guaranteed | Ensures monotonic transfer function across full temperature range - essential for control system stability |
| Flexible Reference Support | Accepts external VREF from 1V to VCC - allows optimization of dynamic range for low-level sensor outputs |
| Low Input Leakage Current | ±1µA max at TA = 25°C - minimizes gain error when driving high-impedance sources (e.g., piezoelectric sensors) |

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, 1.8V–3.6V supply, ±1.5 LSB INL, no auto-shutdown | Higher speed but higher power (650µA @ 1MSPS); lacks dynamic power scaling for ultra-low-duty-cycle use | Select when sampling rate >150ksps is required and continuous operation justifies higher ICC |
| LTC2311CDHC-16#TRPBF | 16-bit, 500ksps, pseudo-differential input, 2.5V–5.5V supply, ±2.5 LSB INL, internal reference option | Wider supply range and integrated reference simplify BOM; pseudo-differential (not true diff) limits CMRR | Select when system uses 5V rails or requires internal reference; verify CMRR sufficiency for noise-prone layouts |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and LTC2311CDHC-16#TRPBF, the LTC1864LACS8#PBF offers superior power efficiency at 150ksps with guaranteed no missing codes and true differential input - making it optimal for battery-powered, noise-sensitive, moderate-speed precision acquisition where layout space and thermal budget are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency supported by the LTC1864LACS8#PBF?
The LTC1864LACS8#PBF supports a maximum sampling frequency of 150ksps, with guaranteed timing performance across its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C). Conversion time is specified as 3.7–4.66 µs, and the device maintains 16-bit no-missing-codes performance at this rate. Higher rates are not supported - attempting to exceed 150ksps may cause timing violations or data corruption.
Does the LTC1864LACS8#PBF require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1864LACS8#PBF requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin (Pin 1). It supports reference voltages from 1V up to VCC (max 3.6V), enabling flexible full-scale range configuration. Unlike some ADCs, it does not include an internal reference; omitting or misrouting VREF will result in undefined conversion results.
Can the LTC1864LACS8#PBF operate with a 2.7V supply?
Yes, the LTC1864LACS8#PBF is fully specified to operate from 2.7V to 3.6V. At 2.7V supply, it delivers 450µA typical supply current at 150ksps, 82dB SNR, and maintains all key AC/DC specifications including ±8 LSB INL. The datasheet provides complete characterization at 2.7V, confirming robust functionality across the entire valid supply range.
Is the LTC1864LACS8#PBF pin-compatible with the 12-bit LTC1860L/LTC1861L series?
Yes, the LTC1864LACS8#PBF is pin-compatible with the LTC1860L and LTC1861L in the MSOP-8 package. This allows direct 16-bit resolution upgrades in existing designs without PCB layout changes - provided the host firmware supports the extended 16-bit data word and timing requirements remain compatible.
What is the purpose of the CONV pin on the LTC1864LACS8#PBF?
The CONV pin (Pin 5) serves dual functions: a rising edge initiates conversion, and holding it high after conversion completion places the LTC1864LACS8#PBF into auto-shutdown mode (10µA sleep current). When pulled low, it enables the SDO output for serial data readout. This integrated control eliminates the need for separate start-conversion and chip-enable signals.
