Product details
Overview
LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 500ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package, operating from a single 3V or 5V supply with integrated 2.048V/4.096V low-drift reference (20ppm/°C max), 72.7dB SINAD, and –84dB THD - deployed in high-speed automotive data acquisition and battery-powered medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF datasheet, LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF pinout, LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF application, or LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes operation across –40°C to 125°C, nap/sleep mode power management (<1µA sleep current), SPI-compatible 3-wire serial interface with 1.8V–5V OVDD compatibility, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF implements a fully integrated SAR architecture with internal bandgap reference, reference buffer, and sample-and-hold - eliminating external reference components while maintaining 73dB SNR at 500ksps. Its timing logic synchronizes conversion start on CONV rising edge and outputs MSB on CONV falling edge with zero-cycle latency.
It supports dual supply domains: VDD (2.7–3.6V or 4.75–5.25V) powers analog circuitry and reference, while OVDD (1.71–5.25V) independently sets digital I/O voltage levels - enabling direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers or 5V FPGAs without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 0.8mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish (#PBF). Thermal resistance θJA = 195°C/W; TJMAX = 150°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Analog power supply input | Accepts 2.7–3.6V or 4.75–5.25V; powers internal reference, SAR core, and sample-and-hold - requires 2.2µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| REF (Pin 2) | Reference input/output | Outputs 2.048V (at 3V VDD) or 4.096V (at 5V VDD); may be overdriven externally; bypassed with 2.2µF capacitor for stability. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference | Must connect directly to solid ground plane - separates analog return path from digital noise sources. |
| AIN (Pin 4) | Analog input | Single-ended, 0V to VREF range; input capacitance 13pF (sample mode); draws ≤1µA DC leakage - compatible with op-amp buffers like LT6230. |
| OVDD (Pin 5) | Digital I/O supply | 1.71–5.25V supply setting SDO/CONV/SCK logic levels - enables direct interface with mixed-voltage systems without level translation. |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial data output | Three-state output; MSB-first 12-bit stream with trailing zeros; high-impedance when CONV = high - timing-critical for SCK falling-edge sampling. |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 20MHz clock; defines data transfer rate; logic thresholds referenced to OVDD - must remain static during tCONV (1400ns). |
| CONV (Pin 8) | Convert control input | Active-high start signal; rising edge initiates conversion; falling edge enables SDO and places S/H into sample mode - controls nap/sleep entry via pulse count. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood operation (–40°C to 125°C) with extended reliability testing - meets ISO/TS 16949 manufacturing requirements. |
| No-cycle latency serial output | MSB appears on SDO within 10ns after CONV falling edge; remaining bits clocked on SCK falling edges - enables deterministic real-time processing in motor control loops. |
| Auto nap mode activation | Enters 2mA nap mode automatically after each conversion - reduces average power by >50% at 100ksps vs. continuous operation. |
| Separate OVDD supply | Independent 1.71–5.25V digital I/O rail decouples ADC timing from host processor voltage - prevents logic-level mismatch in heterogeneous SoC interfaces. |
| Internal reference buffer | Eliminates need for external reference IC or buffer op-amp; provides 2.048V/4.096V with 7ppm/°C typical drift - saves PCB area and BOM cost in space-constrained modules. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF?
The LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to 125°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by thermal characterization (θJA = 195°C/W, TJMAX = 150°C). The device maintains full 12-bit no-missing-codes performance and 20ppm/°C reference drift across this entire range - making it suitable for under-hood automotive placement without derating. The "H" suffix explicitly denotes this high-temperature grade.
Does the LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a low-drift bandgap reference and reference buffer that automatically outputs 2.048V when VDD is in the 2.7–3.6V range or 4.096V when VDD is in the 4.75–5.25V range. The REF pin functions as both output and overvoltage input (≥50mV above internal VREF), and must be bypassed with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor. This integration eliminates external reference components and associated layout sensitivity, reducing BOM count and board area.
How does the nap mode function in the LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF?
The LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF enters nap mode automatically after each conversion cycle, reducing supply current from 3mA to ~2mA. Nap mode retains biasing of the internal bandgap and reference buffer, enabling wake-up and valid conversion within one acquisition time (600ns). It is distinct from sleep mode (entered via four CONV pulses), which shuts down all bias circuitry and draws <1µA but requires 1.1ms reference recovery. Nap mode is ideal for burst-mode acquisition at variable rates below 500ksps, delivering significant power savings without latency penalty.
Can the LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF can interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller using its dedicated OVDD pin (Pin 5), which accepts 1.71–5.25V. When OVDD = 1.8V, the SDO output high level is ≥1.6V, CONV/SCK input high threshold is ≥1.44V, and logic levels are fully compatible - eliminating level shifters. The analog domain (VDD) remains independent (3V or 5V), preserving SNR and reference accuracy while enabling seamless digital interoperability with low-voltage hosts.
What is the significance of the "#PBF" suffix in LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF?
The "#PBF" suffix in LTC2312HTS8-12#PBF indicates a lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish with matte tin plating over nickel palladium gold (NiPdAu) underplate. It confirms compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH) and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-002B solderability standards. This suffix is used for standard commercial/reel packaging (e.g., #TRPBF) and distinguishes it from lead-based alternatives - critical for automotive and medical manufacturing traceability and environmental compliance.
