Product details
Overview
LTC1864LAIS8#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 precision low-power data acquisition systems requiring rail-to-rail input capability with external reference flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply assurance - all grounded in the official Linear Technology LTC1864L/LTC1865L datasheet (SN18645L) and package drawings.
Technical Context
The LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold. Its differential input stage rejects common-mode noise, and its external VREF pin enables ratiometric operation or fixed-span configurations down to 1V full-scale. The device operates across –40°C to 85°C (industrial grade), with absolute input range of –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V on IN+ and –0.05V to VCC/2 on IN–.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CONV; completion occurs in 3.7–4.66µs. Data is clocked out via SDO on falling SCK edges, synchronized to a maximum 8MHz serial clock. The part enters auto-shutdown between conversions, achieving 450µA typical supply current at 150ksps and dropping to 0.5–10µA in sleep mode.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325IDGSR | 16-bit, 100ksps, SPI interface, internal reference option, 2.7–5.5V supply | Lower speed and fixed internal reference limit flexibility in ratiometric or low-voltage sensor interfaces | Select when internal reference suffices and 100ksps meets timing needs; verify layout compatibility with DGSR 10-pin MSOP |
| LTC2311CDHC-16#TRPBF | 16-bit, 500ksps, no auto-shutdown, 2.5–5.5V supply, higher ICC (2.5mA @ 500ksps) | Higher power and speed suit continuous streaming; lacks low-power sleep mode for duty-cycled systems | Select for high-throughput applications where 450µA active current is insufficient; confirm thermal management for 500ksps sustained operation |
Compared with ADS8325IDGSR and LTC2311CDHC-16#TRPBF, the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF uniquely balances 150ksps throughput, ultra-low 450µA active current, and external reference flexibility - making it optimal for battery-powered, precision, event-driven acquisition where power efficiency and analog interface control are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed by the "LAI" suffix in the part number (LTC1864LAIxx), which explicitly denotes the –40°C to 85°C grade per Linear Technology's ordering guide. Absolute maximum ratings include storage from –65°C to 150°C and lead temperature tolerance of 300°C for 10 seconds during soldering.
Does the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF require an external reference, or can it operate with VCC as reference?
The LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF requires an external reference applied to the VREF pin; it does not have an internal reference. However, the reference voltage may be set equal to VCC (within 1V to VCC range), enabling rail-to-rail input spans when IN– is grounded. This configuration is explicitly supported and shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet, confirming VCC-referenced operation is valid and commonly used.
How does the auto-shutdown feature work on the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF automatically powers down between conversions when the CONV pin remains high after conversion completes. At 1ksps, this reduces supply current from 450µA to 10µA. The shutdown state is entered without software command - it is hardware-controlled and deterministic. Waking requires only a new rising edge on CONV, with full conversion ready in ≤4.66µs, making it ideal for burst-mode sensing.
Can the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller SPI port?
Yes, the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF is fully compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers. Its digital inputs (CONV, SCK) accept VIH ≥ 1.9V and VIL ≤ 0.45V at VCC = 2.7V, well within 3.3V logic thresholds. Its SDO output drives VOH ≥ 2.3V and VOL ≤ 0.3V at IO = 400µA, meeting 3.3V CMOS level requirements. No level-shifting is needed for direct connection.
What is the maximum allowed analog input voltage range for the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF?
The absolute analog input voltage range for the LTC1864LAIS8#TRPBF is specified as –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V on the IN+ pin, and –0.05V to VCC/2 on the IN– pin. For a 3.3V supply, this means IN+ may swing from –0.05V to 3.35V, and IN– from –0.05V to 1.65V. Differential input voltage (IN+ – IN–) must remain within 0V to VREF, with VREF itself ranging from 1V to VCC.
