Product details
Overview
LTC1865ACS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation ADC with software-selectable dual-channel multiplexer, single 5V supply operation, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface in an 8-lead SO package. It features auto shutdown (2μA at 1ksps), true differential input capability, and guaranteed operation from 0°C to 70°C - ideal for compact, battery-powered data acquisition systems requiring high resolution without external gain stages.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1865ACS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1865ACS8#PBF pinout, LTC1865ACS8#PBF application, or LTC1865ACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-channel MUX configuration, VREF-tied-to-VCC architecture in SO-8, 87dB SNR, ±2mV offset error, and compatibility with ratiometric sensing or external references down to 1V full scale.
Technical Context
The LTC1865ACS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting both single-ended and differential input modes via a 2-bit configuration word shifted into SDI. Its SO-8 variant fixes VREF internally to VCC, eliminating external reference components while maintaining rail-to-rail input range on CH0/CH1 relative to GND.
Timing is controlled by the CONV signal initiating conversion, followed by full-duplex serial transfer synchronized to SCK; conversion completes in 3.2μs max, enabling deterministic 250ksps sampling. Power management is automatic: supply current drops from 850μA at full speed to 2μA during idle, with no external control required beyond CONV assertion.

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, 3.3V-only supply, no internal VREF tie | Requires external reference and level-shifting for 5V systems; lower throughput limits harmonic analysis depth | Select when 3.3V system integration and lower power (3.5mW) outweigh speed and simplicity needs |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 16-bit, 500ksps, internal reference, 2.7–3.6V supply, 12-pin TDFN | Higher speed but incompatible voltage domain; internal 2.048V ref requires gain scaling for 0–5V inputs | Select for ultra-low-power (<1.5mW) portable designs where 5V operation is not required |
Compared with ADS8325IPW and MAX11100ETE+, the LTC1865ACS8#PBF uniquely combines 5V single-supply operation, VREF-to-VCC integration, and 250ksps throughput in a standard SO-8 package - reducing BOM count and layout complexity for cost-sensitive industrial and medical data loggers.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC1865ACS8#PBF?
The LTC1865ACS8#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 250ksps, corresponding to a minimum conversion time of 3.2μs. This rate is achievable under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75V to 5.25V, fSCK ≤ 20MHz) and enables full linear bandwidth up to 125kHz. Performance remains stable across the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range specified for the LTC1865ACS8#PBF.
Does the LTC1865ACS8#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1865ACS8#PBF does not require an external reference voltage. In its SO-8 package variant, VREF is internally tied to VCC, establishing a fixed 0V to VCC input span. This eliminates external reference components and simplifies layout while maintaining ratiometric accuracy for sensor interfaces powered from the same 5V rail.
How many analog input channels does the LTC1865ACS8#PBF support, and how are they configured?
The LTC1865ACS8#PBF supports two analog input channels (CH0 and CH1) with software-selectable configuration via a 2-bit word shifted into the SDI pin. Modes include single-ended (CH0/GND or CH1/GND) and differential (CH0/CH1), selected using SGL/DIFF and ODD/SIGN bits. This flexibility allows dynamic reconfiguration without hardware changes, making the LTC1865ACS8#PBF suitable for multi-sensor systems.
What is the supply current consumption of the LTC1865ACS8#PBF at different sampling rates?
The LTC1865ACS8#PBF draws 850μA typical at 250ksps and automatically reduces current during idle periods. At 1ksps, supply current drops to 2μA due to built-in auto shutdown - triggered when CONV remains high after conversion completes. This adaptive power management extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications without requiring external control logic.
Is the LTC1865ACS8#PBF pin-compatible with earlier 12-bit versions like the LTC1860/LTC1861?
No, the LTC1865ACS8#PBF is not pin-compatible with the LTC1860 or LTC1861. While the LTC1865ACS8#PBF shares functional similarity (SPI interface, SO-8 package), its pinout differs: it uses SDI for configuration and CH0/CH1 for inputs, whereas the LTC1860/LTC1861 use IN+/IN− and lack multiplexing. Board redesign is required to migrate from those 12-bit parts to the LTC1865ACS8#PBF.
