Product details
Overview
LTC1867LCGN#PBF from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 175ksps successive-approximation ADC with integrated 1.25V reference, 8-channel analog multiplexer supporting true differential or single-ended inputs, and SPI/MICROWIRE serial interface. It delivers ±3LSB INL, 16-bit no missing codes over temperature, and operates from a 2.7V supply. It is used in high-speed industrial data acquisition systems requiring precision, low power, and channel flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1867LCGN#PBF datasheet, LTC1867LCGN#PBF pinout, LTC1867LCGN#PBF application, or LTC1867LCGN#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade alternatives, and supply-chain support details specific to the 0°C to 70°C commercial-grade narrow SSOP variant.
Technical Context
The LTC1867LCGN#PBF implements a capacitive SAR architecture with differential 16-bit DAC, low-power comparator rejecting common-mode noise, and internal clock factory-trimmed for 3.2µs typical conversion time. Its analog input MUX supports dynamic reconfiguration via 7-bit serial command - enabling on-the-fly selection of unipolar/bipolar, single-ended/differential, and COM-pin assignment modes.
It features automatic nap mode (170µA) between conversions and sleep mode (0.2µA), with wake-up time of 80ms after CS/CONV assertion. Reference operation supports internal 1.25V bandgap (±20ppm/°C) or external overdrive at VREF, amplified to 2.5V at REFCOMP with dedicated bypassing requirements (10µF + 0.1µF).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 0°C to 70°C operating range, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7/COM (Pins 1–8) | Analog input channels / common-mode reference | Configurable as eight single-ended inputs, four differential pairs, or seven single-ended referenced to CH7/COM - supports mixed-signal sensor arrays without external mux. |
| REFCOMP (Pin 9) | 2.5V reference buffer output | Provides low-noise, buffered 2.5V reference for external circuitry; requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypass to GND for stability and PSRR optimization. |
| VREF (Pin 10) | 1.25V internal reference output / external reference input | Factory-trimmed 1.25V bandgap (±20ppm/°C); can be overdriven by external reference to improve accuracy and drift performance. |
| CS/CONV (Pin 11) | Conversion start / serial frame enable | Rising edge initiates conversion; falling edge enables SDO output - dual-function pin simplifies timing-critical control logic. |
| SCK (Pin 12) | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 20MHz clock; supports both rising- and falling-edge capture for flexible host MCU interface design. |
| SDO (Pin 13) | Serial data output | Outputs 16-bit result in straight binary (unipolar) or two's complement (bipolar) format - eliminates need for software sign extension. |
| SDI (Pin 14) | Serial data input | Accepts 7-bit configuration word to set channel, polarity, differential mode, and sleep bit - enables dynamic MUX reconfiguration per conversion. |
| GND (Pin 15) | Analog and digital ground | Single ground plane required; separation not recommended due to integrated analog/digital design and shared reference paths. |
| VDD (Pin 16) | 2.7V–3.6V supply | Power source for analog core, reference, and digital I/O; requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypass to minimize supply-induced noise coupling into conversion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise up to 112dB at 100kHz, enabling accurate measurements in electrically noisy industrial environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit, 500ksps, 2.5V internal reference, SPI interface, 24-QFN package | Higher speed and resolution but requires 3V supply minimum; no sleep mode below 1µA | Select for systems needing >175ksps throughput and higher SNR (91dB), accepting larger footprint and higher quiescent current. |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 16-bit, 250ksps, internal 2.048V reference, SPI, 16-TQFN | Lower INL (±1.5LSB), smaller TQFN package, but no differential input support - single-ended only | Select when board space is constrained and differential rejection is unnecessary; verify unipolar-only input compatibility with sensor outputs. |
Compared with LTC1867LCGN#PBF, ADS8688IPWR offers higher speed at the cost of increased power and package size, while MAX11131ETE+ trades differential capability for compactness and tighter INL - choice depends on whether channel isolation or miniaturization dominates the design priority.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LTC1867LCGN#PBF?
The LTC1867LCGN#PBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix in its part number and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This commercial-grade variant is intended for non-automotive, indoor industrial and portable equipment applications where ambient temperatures remain within this range.
Does LTC1867LCGN#PBF support true differential input mode?
Yes, LTC1867LCGN#PBF supports true differential inputs across four channel pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7) with common-mode rejection inherent to its SAR architecture. The datasheet confirms "True Differential Inputs" under FEATURES and specifies ±1.25V differential input range with –112dB channel-to-channel isolation at 100kHz.
Can LTC1867LCGN#PBF use an external reference instead of the internal 1.25V source?
Yes, LTC1867LCGN#PBF allows external reference injection at the VREF pin (Pin 10), which overrides the internal bandgap. The internal 3kΩ series resistor enables clean overdrive; when combined with external precision reference and proper REFCOMP bypassing, gain error match improves to ±3LSB and tempco to ±3ppm/°C.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for LTC1867LCGN#PBF to operate reliably?
LTC1867LCGN#PBF is guaranteed to operate down to 2.7V, as stated in the "2.7V Guaranteed Supply Voltage" feature and POWER REQUIREMENTS table. Below this voltage, specifications including sample rate, INL, and reference accuracy are not assured - designs must maintain VDD ≥2.7V across all operating conditions.
How does the automatic nap mode function in LTC1867LCGN#PBF?
In LTC1867LCGN#PBF, automatic nap mode activates when CS/CONV remains high after conversion completion, reducing supply current from 750µA to 170µA without software command. This state persists until the next CS/CONV rising edge initiates a new conversion - optimizing average power in periodic sampling applications.
