Product details
Overview
LTC1865LAIS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 150ksps, 2-channel software-selectable successive approximation ADC in an 8-lead SO-8 package, operating from a single 2.7V–3.6V supply with 450µA typical supply current at full speed and auto-shutdown to 10µA at 1ksps. It features true differential input architecture, external reference support (VREF = 1V to VCC), SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and is optimized for portable instrumentation and isolated data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1865LAIS8#PBF pinout, LTC1865LAIS8#PBF application, or LTC1865LAIS8#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in battery-powered and ratiometric sensing, and confirmed alternative options for design continuity - all grounded in official Linear Technology documentation and packaging markings.
Technical Context
The LTC1865LAIS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting both single-ended and differential MUX configurations via 2-bit SDI control. Its analog front-end accepts inputs from (GND – 0.05V) to (VCC + 0.05V) on IN+, and up to VCC/2 on IN–, with high-impedance inputs enabling direct connection to low-output-impedance sensors without gain stages.
It uses a 3-wire serial interface (CONV, SCK, SDO/SDI) with full-duplex operation: configuration bits are clocked in on SDI during CONV low, and conversion results shift out on SDO synchronized to SCK falling edges. Conversion time is fixed at 3.7–4.66µs, and maximum sampling frequency is strictly 150kHz across the –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 1 LSB = VREF/65536 quantization step, enabling sub-millivolt precision in 2.5V reference systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 150ksps - supports Nyquist-limited bandwidth up to 75kHz, suitable for vibration monitoring and audio-band sensor digitization. |
| Supply Current | 450µA typ @ 150ksps - enables >1-year battery life in 10mA-hr coin cells when duty-cycled at low sampling rates. |
| INL Error | ±8 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.12% full-scale linearity error over temperature, critical for closed-loop control feedback. |
| SNR | 82dB - corresponds to ~13.6 effective number of bits (ENOB), confirming usable dynamic range for precision thermocouple or strain gauge interfaces. |
| Reference Range | 1V to VCC - allows flexible scaling: e.g., 1.25V reference yields 19.1µV LSB for high-resolution RTD measurements. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control enclosures and outdoor telemetry nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (narrow, 0.150-inch width), JEDEC MS-012AC, body size 4.90mm × 3.90mm, lead pitch 1.27mm. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VREF | Reference Input | Defines full-scale span; tied internally to VCC in SO-8 version, so VREF = VCC - eliminates external reference component in cost-sensitive designs. |
| 2 - CH0 / IN+ | Analog Input Channel 0 / Positive Input | Primary analog input; in differential mode, paired with CH1 as IN–; in single-ended mode, measured vs GND. |
| 3 - CH1 / IN– | Analog Input Channel 1 / Negative Input | Secondary analog input; serves as negative leg in differential pair with CH0, or as ground-referenced input in single-ended mode. |
| 4 - GND | Analog Ground | Single ground reference for analog section; must be connected directly to low-impedance analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - CONV | Convert Control Input | Active-high trigger: rising edge initiates conversion; held high after completion enters auto-shutdown mode (10µA sleep current). |
| 6 - SDO | Serial Data Output | 3-state output shifting 16-bit result MSB-first on falling SCK edge; tri-states when CONV is high or during configuration phase. |
| 7 - SCK | Serial Clock Input | Master clock up to 8MHz; synchronizes both SDI configuration bit loading and SDO result readout in full-duplex mode. |
| 8 - VCC | Positive Supply | 2.7V–3.6V single supply; requires local 1µF tantalum bypass to GND; ripple <10mVpp essential for SNR preservation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto shutdown at low sampling rates | Reduces ICC from 450µA to 10µA at 1ksps - extends battery life by 45× versus continuous operation, with no firmware overhead. |
| Software-selectable 2-channel MUX | Configurable via 2-bit SDI word before each conversion - enables interleaved sampling of two sensors without external multiplexer hardware or timing constraints. |
| True differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise up to 80dB at 60Hz - eliminates need for external instrumentation amplifiers in noisy industrial settings. |
| No minimum data transfer rate | Allows indefinite idle periods between conversions - simplifies host MCU firmware by removing strict timing windows for SCK activity. |
| Rail-to-rail input capability (with VREF = VCC) | Supports 0V to VCC input span on CH0 when CH1 = GND - enables direct digitization of unbuffered voltage rails or potentiometer outputs. |
Applications
| Portable Instrumentation | Isolated Data Acquisition |
|---|---|
|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1865LCS8 | Same silicon, commercial temp range (0°C to 70°C); identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs. | Not rated for extended industrial environments; unsuitable for under-hood or factory-floor deployments. | Select LTC1865LCS8 only for cost-sensitive consumer-grade products where ambient temperature remains within 0–70°C. |
| ADS8325IDR | TI 16-bit 100ksps SAR ADC; SPI interface, but requires external reference and has higher 1.2mA supply current. | Lacks auto-shutdown and integrated MUX; needs external op-amp buffering for high-Z sensors. | Choose ADS8325IDR only if existing TI ecosystem mandates compatibility or if higher throughput (>150ksps) is required in future revisions. |
Compared with LTC1865LCS8, the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF provides guaranteed operation down to –40°C - critical for outdoor or automotive cold-soak testing - while matching all electrical performance. Against ADS8325IDR, it delivers 3.7× lower active current and eliminates two external components (reference + buffer), reducing BOM count and PCB area.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency of the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF?
The LTC1865LAIS8#PBF supports a maximum sampling frequency of 150ksps across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This is a hard limit defined by internal timing constraints - exceeding 150ksps will cause conversion failures or invalid data. The part achieves this rate with only 450µA supply current, making it among the most energy-efficient 16-bit ADCs available in SO-8 packaging.
Does the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF require an external voltage reference?
No - the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF in SO-8 package (including this variant) ties VREF internally to VCC, eliminating the need for an external reference. This simplifies design and reduces cost, though it means full-scale range tracks supply voltage. For ratiometric applications where sensor excitation and ADC reference share the same rail, this architecture improves accuracy and stability.
How does the MUX selection work on the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF?
The LTC1865LAIS8#PBF uses a 2-bit configuration word shifted into SDI during the CONV low period to select between four input modes: single-ended CH0, single-ended CH1, differential CH0–CH1, or differential CH1–CH0. Each conversion cycle begins with fresh configuration, enabling dynamic channel switching without reinitializing the device or altering hardware connections.
What is the purpose of the CONV pin on the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF?
The CONV pin on the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF serves dual functions: a rising edge initiates conversion, and holding it high after conversion completes places the device in auto-shutdown mode (10µA sleep current). When pulled low, it enables SDO output and permits SDI configuration bit loading - making it both a trigger and a functional mode selector.
Can the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF operate from a 2.5V supply?
Yes - the LTC1865LAIS8#PBF operates from 2.7V to 3.6V per Absolute Maximum Ratings, so 2.5V is below the minimum recommended supply. At 2.5V, performance degrades: INL increases beyond ±8 LSB, SNR drops below 82dB, and conversion time may exceed specification. For reliable operation, maintain VCC ≥ 2.7V; consider LTC1865LIMS8 if lower-voltage operation is mandatory.
