Product details
Overview
LTC2301IMS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1-channel, 12-bit successive approximation ADC with I²C-compatible serial interface, internal 2.5V reference, and fully differential sample-and-hold circuit. It operates from a single 5V supply, achieves 1.3μs conversion time, and delivers 73.5dB SNR at 1kHz - ideal for precision battery-powered sensor monitoring and industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2301IMS#TRPBF pinout, LTC2301IMS#TRPBF application, or LTC2301IMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its MSOP-12 package, –40°C to +85°C operating range, software-selectable unipolar/bipolar input ranges, 14ksps throughput, and low 300μA active current at 1ksps.
Technical Context
The LTC2301IMS#TRPBF implements a capacitive charge-redistribution SAR architecture with internal clocking, eliminating external timing components. Its analog input stage features a fully differential sample-and-hold that rejects common-mode noise and supports both unipolar (0V to 4.096V) and bipolar (±2.048V) input configurations via software control.
I²C communication uses standard-mode timing (400kHz max), with open-drain SDA requiring pull-up and SCL as slave-only clock input. The device supports nine I²C addresses via AD0/AD1 three-state pins and includes a global synchronization address. Conversion results are output LSB-first with four trailing zeros, latched on SCL rising edges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Conversion Time | 1.3μs - enables rapid sampling of transient events without external timing circuitry. |
| SNR | 73.5dB at 1kHz - supports >11.5 effective bits for high-fidelity sensor digitization. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±1 LSB max - maintains accuracy across full scale for calibration-critical applications like power supply monitoring. |
| Supply Current | 300μA at 1ksps; 225μA nap mode; 7μA sleep mode - extends battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Input Range | Software-selectable 0V–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar) - simplifies signal conditioning for diverse transducer outputs. |
| I²C Address Options | 9 unique addresses via AD0/AD1 (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) plus one global sync address - enables multi-device bus management without address conflict. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm), –40°C to +85°C operating range, exposed pad not present (DFN variant has exposed GND pad; MSOP does not).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 4, 9) | Ground reference | Three dedicated ground pins require low-impedance connection to solid ground plane for noise immunity and thermal stability. |
| SDA (Pin 2) | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain output during read (requires VDD pull-up); high-impedance input during write - enables shared-bus operation. |
| SCL (Pin 3) | I²C clock input | Slave-only clock input; data shifted on rising edge (input) and falling edge (output) - enforces strict I²C timing compliance. |
| CH0 (Pin 5) | Differential analog input positive | Primary analog input channel; polarity selectable via O/S bit - supports both single-ended and differential configurations relative to CH1 or GND. |
| CH1 (Pin 6) | Differential analog input negative | Secondary input used as reference for CH0 in differential mode; also configurable as independent input in single-ended mode. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.5V internal reference output | Bypass with ≥2.2μF ceramic capacitor; may be overdriven by external 2.5V source to improve accuracy or drift performance. |
| REFCOMP (Pin 8) | 4.096V reference buffer output | Bypass with 10μF + 0.1μF ceramics; disabled when VREF grounded - allows external reference injection for enhanced stability. |
| VDD (Pin 10) | 5V analog supply | 4.75V–5.25V range; bypass with 10μF + 0.1μF ceramics - powers analog core and reference, critical for SNR integrity. |
| AD1 (Pin 11) | I²C address bit A1 | Three-state (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) selects MSB of 3-bit address - enables up to 9 unique device addresses on same bus. |
| AD0 (Pin 12) | I²C address bit A0 | Three-state (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT) selects LSB of 3-bit address - works with AD1 to configure full I²C address map. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential sample-and-hold | Rejects common-mode noise from sensors or long traces - improves measurement fidelity in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Internal 2.5V reference with 4.096V buffered output | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout area - reduces BOM count and PCB footprint in space-constrained designs. |
| Software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input range | Single register write switches between 0–4.096V and ±2.048V full-scale - avoids hardware rework when adapting to different sensor types. |
| Nap and sleep power modes | Reduces current to 225μA (nap) or 7μA (sleep) - enables microcontroller-gated sampling for ultra-low-power wake-on-event systems. |
| 14ksps maximum throughput | Supports real-time monitoring of mechanical vibration, motor current, or thermal transients without external oversampling or decimation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit I²C ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-pin SOIC, SPI interface only, no internal reference, requires external 2.5V ref and REF decoupling. | Requires additional reference IC and level-shifting for 5V systems; lacks I²C compatibility and bipolar mode. | Select when SPI-native microcontrollers dominate the platform and board space permits external reference components. |
| MCP3221A0T-E/OT | 6-pin SOT-23, 12-bit, I²C, internal reference, but only unipolar 0–VDD range (no bipolar support), 3.6V max VDD. | Cannot measure negative signals; incompatible with 5V systems; lower SNR (70dB) limits dynamic range. | Select for cost-sensitive, single-supply 3.3V embedded systems where bipolar inputs are unnecessary. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MCP3221A0T-E/OT, the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF uniquely combines I²C compatibility, integrated 2.5V/4.096V references, software-selectable bipolar operation, and –40°C to +85°C rating - making it the only option supporting precision isolated or battery-powered 5V systems without external reference or level-shifting.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF?
The LTC2301IMS#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, as confirmed by its "I" grade designation and MSOP packaging. This range is validated across all electrical specifications including INL (±1 LSB), SNR (73.5dB min), and supply current (300μA at 1ksps), making it suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments where thermal stability is critical.
Does the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF support differential input measurements?
Yes, the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF supports true differential input measurements via its CH0 (IN+) and CH1 (IN–) pins. The O/S bit in the 6-bit DIN word configures polarity reversal - setting O/S = 0 samples CH0–CH1, while O/S = 1 samples CH1–CH0. This fully differential architecture provides inherent common-mode noise rejection essential for precision transducer interfaces.
Can the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF operate with an external reference instead of the internal one?
Yes, the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF supports external reference injection. Driving VREF with a precision 2.5V source overrides the internal reference, while driving REFCOMP with a stable 4.096V source (with VREF grounded) disables the internal buffer and enables external reference use. Both methods preserve full 12-bit performance and are documented in the Applications Information section.
How many I²C addresses does the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF support?
The LTC2301IMS#TRPBF supports nine unique I²C addresses via three-state configuration of AD0 and AD1 pins (LOW/HIGH/FLOAT), plus one global address for synchronized conversions across multiple devices. This enables up to ten LTC2301IMS#TRPBF units on a single I²C bus without address conflict - critical for multi-channel data loggers and modular sensor systems.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full 12-bit accuracy with the LTC2301IMS#TRPBF?
The LTC2301IMS#TRPBF specifies tACQ = 240ns as the minimum acquisition time for full 12-bit accuracy. This value assumes optimal source impedance (<100Ω) and proper REFCOMP/VREF bypassing. For higher-impedance sources, additional settling time must be allowed - the internal sample-and-hold capacitor (55pF) and series resistance form an RC network whose time constant must settle within 240ns to achieve ±0.5 LSB error.
