Product details
Overview
LTC1865LCS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 150ksps, 2-channel software-selectable multiplexed successive approximation ADC operating on a single 3V supply in an 8-lead SOIC package. It features true differential or single-ended input modes, external reference support (VREF = 1V to VCC), and auto-shutdown reducing supply current to 10µA at 1ksps. It serves precision data acquisition in portable instrumentation and isolated sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1865LCS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1865LCS8#PBF pinout, LTC1865LCS8#PBF application, or LTC1865LCS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-bit resolution with ±6 LSB INL, SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, MSOP/SO-8 package compatibility, and ratiometric operation capability with high-impedance analog inputs enabling direct connection to low-output-impedance sensors without gain stages.
Technical Context
The LTC1865LCS8#PBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting both differential and single-ended input configurations via a 2-bit MUX control word shifted in on SDI. Its conversion timing is fixed at 3.7–4.66 µs, synchronized by CONV rising edge and clocked by SCK up to 8 MHz.
It operates exclusively in SO-8 package configuration where VREF is internally tied to VCC, fixing full-scale span to VCC (2.7V–3.6V). Digital I/O complies with 2.7V logic thresholds (VIH = 1.9V, VIL = 0.45V), and analog inputs tolerate –0.05V to VCC + 0.05V with leakage ≤ ±1 µA over temperature.
Key Specifications

| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial Clock Input | Synchronizes data transfer; supports up to 8 MHz clock rate for fast readout |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive Supply | Single 2.7V–3.6V supply; requires local 1 µF tantalum bypass to GND for noise immunity |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1865LIMS8#PBF | Same core architecture and pinout, but rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range vs. 0°C to 70°C for LTC1865LCS8#PBF | Required for outdoor or automotive-adjacent deployments where ambient exceeds 70°C | Select when extended temperature operation is mandatory; otherwise LTC1865LCS8#PBF offers cost advantage for commercial-grade systems |
| ADS8325IDR | 16-bit, 100 ksps, SPI interface, 2.7–5.5V supply, but no internal VREF-to-VCC tie - requires external reference or VREF = VCC connection | Offers lower power (350 µA at 100 ksps) but lacks integrated MUX and has slower sampling rate | Prefer for ultra-low-power, single-channel applications where 50 ksps margin is acceptable and external reference is already present |
Compared with LTC1865LIMS8#PBF, the LTC1865LCS8#PBF trades extended temperature range for lower cost in commercial environments; versus ADS8325IDR, it provides higher speed and integrated dual-channel flexibility at slightly higher active current, making it better suited for compact, multi-sensor, battery-operated systems requiring 150 ksps throughput.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency supported by the LTC1865LCS8#PBF?
The LTC1865LCS8#PBF supports a maximum sampling frequency of 150 ksps, corresponding to a minimum conversion time of 3.7 µs. This is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and supply voltage range (2.7V to 3.6V). The device maintains 16-bit resolution and specified INL/SNR performance at this rate, making it suitable for anti-aliasing-critical applications up to ~20 kHz full-linear bandwidth.
Does the LTC1865LCS8#PBF require an external voltage reference?
No - the LTC1865LCS8#PBF in SO-8 package (LTC1865LCS8#PBF) has VREF internally tied to VCC, enabling ratiometric operation without an external reference. This simplifies design and reduces BOM count when sensor excitation and ADC share the same supply. For non-ratiometric use cases requiring precise absolute measurement, an external reference can be applied only if using the MSOP variant (e.g., LTC1865LCMS#PBF), not the SO-8 LTC1865LCS8#PBF.
How does the multiplexer in the LTC1865LCS8#PBF operate?
The LTC1865LCS8#PBF uses a 2-bit MUX control word shifted into SDI after CONV falls low. The word selects among four configurations: single-ended CH0 or CH1 referenced to GND, or differential CH0–CH1 or CH1–CH0. Unlike hardware-muxed ADCs, this software-selectable MUX allows dynamic channel switching per conversion cycle without external components, enabling flexible scan sequences in firmware-controlled data acquisition.
What is the supply current of the LTC1865LCS8#PBF at 1 ksps?
At 1 ksps, the LTC1865LCS8#PBF draws only 10 µA typical supply current due to its auto-shutdown feature, which powers down analog circuitry between conversions. This value is specified over the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range and is critical for battery-powered applications where average current determines operational lifetime. At 150 ksps, current rises to 450 µA typical, scaling approximately linearly with sampling rate.
Is the LTC1865LCS8#PBF pin-compatible with earlier 12-bit versions?
Yes - the LTC1865LCS8#PBF is pin-compatible with the 12-bit LTC1860LCS8 and LTC1861LCS8 in the same SO-8 package, sharing identical pin functions and layout. This allows drop-in resolution upgrades in existing designs without PCB revision. However, users must verify timing margins (e.g., tCONV = 4.66 µs max for LTC1865LCS8#PBF vs. shorter for 12-bit variants) and update firmware to handle 16-bit data words instead of 12-bit.
