Product details
Overview
LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 150ksps single-channel differential successive approximation ADC operating on a single 3V supply in an 8-lead MSOP package. It features true differential analog inputs (IN+, IN–), external reference pin (VREF), auto-shutdown reducing supply current to 10µA at 1ksps, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface. It is used in high-precision, low-power data acquisition systems requiring rail-to-rail input capability with external reference flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in isolated instrumentation and portable sensing, and validated alternative options for design continuity and sourcing resilience.
Technical Context
The LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting unipolar differential input operation where full-scale output corresponds to VREF – 1LSB. Its conversion timing is fixed at 3.7–4.66µs, synchronized by the rising edge of CONV and data readout via SDO on falling SCK edges.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade), draws only 450µA typical at 150ksps, and supports reference voltages from 1V to VCC. The device powers down automatically between conversions and enables SDO only when CONV is low - a deterministic control sequence critical for low-noise, low-power embedded sampling.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8), 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.86mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Defines full-scale span; must be low-noise and bypassed to GND with ≥1µF capacitor; supports 1V–3.6V range |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Differential Analog Input (+) | High-impedance input sampled simultaneously with IN–; accepts (GND – 0.05V) to (VCC + 0.05V) |

| GND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Primary ground reference for analog circuitry; must connect directly to analog ground plane with minimal trace length |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge initiates conversion; held high after completion enters sleep mode; falling edge enables SDO output |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial Data Output | 16-bit result shifted out MSB-first on falling SCK edges; tri-stated when CONV is high |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer; supports DC to 8MHz; no minimum frequency requirement |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | Single 2.7V–3.6V supply; requires local 1µF tantalum bypass to GND for stable conversion performance |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade), with storage temperature spanning –65°C to +150°C. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies across all specified electrical parameters unless otherwise noted in footnotes.
Does the LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF require an external reference, or can it operate with VCC as reference?
The LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF requires an external reference applied to the VREF pin; it does not internally derive reference from VCC. Unlike the SO-8 version of LTC1865L, the MSOP-packaged LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF has no internal VREF tie - VREF must be supplied externally in the 1V to VCC range for proper full-scale definition.
Can the LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF interface directly with a microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting?
Yes - the LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF is fully compatible with 3V microcontrollers: VIH = 1.9V min and VIL = 0.45V max at VCC = 2.7V, and VOH/VOL meet standard 3V logic thresholds. Its 3-wire SPI interface requires no level-shifting when paired with 3V MCU I/O banks.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported on the SCK pin of the LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF supports SCK frequencies up to 8MHz, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This allows reliable 16-bit readout in ≤2µs, well within the 3.7–4.66µs conversion time window - enabling tight timing margins even at maximum sampling rate.
How does the auto-shutdown feature of the LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF reduce system power consumption?
The LTC1864LAIMS8#TRPBF automatically enters low-current sleep mode (≤10µA) when CONV remains high after conversion completes. This eliminates static bias current between samples - for example, at 1ksps sampling, average current drops from 450µA to ~10µA, cutting total ADC power by >97% in duty-cycled applications.
