Product details
Overview
LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 500ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package. It operates from a single 3V or 5V analog supply, integrates a low-drift (20ppm/°C max) internal reference (2.048V or 4.096V), and delivers 72.7dB SINAD and –84dB THD at full speed-enabling high-fidelity data acquisition in space-constrained, battery-powered systems such as handheld medical terminals and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF pinout, LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF application, or LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, confirmed power modes (nap/sleep), exact pin functions, and two validated alternative SAR ADCs for system-level trade-off analysis.
Technical Context
The LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF implements a fully integrated SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold, bandgap reference, and reference buffer-eliminating external reference components. Its conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator, enabling deterministic 1400ns conversion time and zero-cycle latency output.
It features dual-supply operation: VDD (2.7–3.6V or 4.75–5.25V) powers analog circuitry and reference, while OVDD (1.71–5.25V) independently supplies digital I/O logic-supporting direct interfacing to 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V host processors without level shifters.

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 195°C/W. Requires 2.2µF ceramic bypass capacitors on VDD, REF, and OVDD pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Analog power supply input | Accepts 2.7–3.6V or 4.75–5.25V; powers internal reference, SAR core, and sample-and-hold. |
| 2 - REF | Reference input/output | Outputs 2.048V or 4.096V; may be overdriven externally; requires 2.2µF low-ESR ceramic bypass. |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground reference | Must connect directly to solid ground plane; separates analog return path from digital noise. |
| 4 - AIN | Analog input | Single-ended, 0V to VREF range; input capacitance 13pF (sample mode); leakage ±1µA max. |
| 5 - OVDD | Digital I/O supply | 1.71–5.25V; sets SDO/CONV/SCK logic thresholds-decouples digital interface voltage from analog supply. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit, 1MSPS, SPI interface, but requires external reference and separate AVDD/DVDD supplies; no integrated reference buffer. | Better suited for multi-channel systems (8-channel MUX) where shared external reference is already present. | Select when higher throughput (1MSPS) and channel count outweigh reference integration benefits. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal 2.048V reference, but only supports 2.7–3.6V VDD (no 5V option); lower THD (–90dB) but higher typical supply current (3.5mA vs 3mA). | Ideal for 3.3V-only systems prioritizing ultra-low distortion over supply voltage flexibility. | Choose for 3.3V embedded designs requiring best-in-class harmonic performance and smaller 16-pin TQFN package. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF?
The LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). Its absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and thermal design must ensure θJA = 195°C/W does not exceed this limit. The device achieves guaranteed 12-bit performance-including INL, DNL, and SINAD-across this full range.
Does the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a low-drift (≤20ppm/°C) internal reference that outputs 2.048V when VDD is 2.7–3.6V or 4.096V when VDD is 4.75–5.25V. The REF pin is internally buffered and must be bypassed with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable operation.
How does the nap mode function in the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF?
Nap mode in the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF activates automatically after each conversion completes, reducing supply current to ~2mA. It retains reference buffer and bandgap bias-allowing wake-up and valid conversion within one acquisition cycle (600ns). This differs from sleep mode (<1µA), which shuts down the reference and requires 1.1ms recovery before accurate conversion.
Can the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF can interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller. Its OVDD pin accepts 1.71–5.25V, setting logic thresholds for CONV, SCK, and SDO. When OVDD = 1.8V, SDO outputs valid 1.8V-compatible levels, and the microcontroller's 1.8V GPIOs meet VIH/VIL requirements without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full 12-bit accuracy with the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF?
The minimum acquisition time (tACQ) for full 12-bit accuracy with the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF is 600ns. This assumes a low-impedance source (<50Ω). Higher source impedances increase required acquisition time; for example, a 1kΩ source may need >1.5µs. External buffering is recommended for high-impedance sensors to guarantee tACQ-MIN compliance.
