Product details
Overview
LTC2312ITS8-12#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) internal reference (2.048V or 4.096V), and delivers 72.7dB SINAD and –84dB THD at full speed. It targets high-speed, low-power data acquisition in battery-operated and space-constrained systems such as handheld terminals and medical imaging front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF pinout, LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF application, or LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for industrial and automotive-grade signal chain design.
Technical Context
The LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF implements a true SAR architecture with no pipeline latency and guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes performance across –40°C to +85°C. Its integrated reference buffer supports automatic 2.048V output at 2.7–3.6V VDD and 4.096V at 4.75–5.25V VDD, eliminating external reference components.
It features a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface with independent OVDD (1.71–5.25V) for logic-level flexibility, nap mode (<2mA quiescent) after conversion, and sleep mode (<0.2µA) with 1.1ms wake-up time. Acquisition time is fixed at 600ns, conversion time at 1400ns, and throughput at exactly 500ksps with zero cycle latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function and no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - fixed maximum throughput; enables real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SINAD | 72.7dB at 5V, fIN = 20kHz - defines usable dynamic range for precision measurement applications. |
| THD | –84dB at 5V, fIN = 20kHz - limits harmonic distortion in high-fidelity signal digitization. |
| Reference Drift | ≤20ppm/°C - ensures stable full-scale accuracy across –40°C to +85°C without calibration. |
| Power Dissipation | 15mW at 5V, 500ksps - enables compact thermal design in uncooled portable instrumentation. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 (0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint). RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Analog power supply input | Accepts 2.7–3.6V or 4.75–5.25V; powers core ADC, reference, and sample-and-hold; requires 2.2µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| 2 - REF | Reference input/output | Outputs 2.048V (at 3V range) or 4.096V (at 5V range); may be overdriven externally; bypassed with 2.2µF low-ESR capacitor. |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground | Primary return path for analog circuitry; must connect directly to solid ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 - AIN | Analog input | Single-ended input referenced to GND; full-scale range = 0V to VREF; input capacitance = 13pF in sample mode. |
| 5 - OVDD | Digital I/O supply | Supplies SDO, SCK, CONV logic levels; supports 1.71–5.25V; decoupled with 2.2µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 6 - SDO | Serial data output | Three-state MSB-first 12-bit output; enters Hi-Z when CONV = high; timing referenced to SCK falling edge. |
| 7 - SCK | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 20MHz clock; synchronizes data readout; logic thresholds defined by OVDD voltage. |
| 8 - CONV | Convert start input | Active-high edge-triggered control; initiates conversion and places SDO in active state on falling edge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No cycle latency | Conversion result appears on SDO immediately after CONV falling edge - eliminates pipeline delay in closed-loop control. |
| Integrated reference buffer | Eliminates need for external reference IC or resistor divider; reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| Nap mode auto-entry | Enters <2mA low-power state automatically after each conversion - cuts average power in burst-sampling applications. |
| Wide OVDD range | 1.71–5.25V digital supply allows direct interfacing with 1.8V FPGA I/O banks, 2.5V ASICs, or 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Guaranteed operation to +85°C | Qualified per Industrial temperature grade (I-grade) - supports deployment in non-derated industrial automation and motor control systems. |
Applications

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; higher power (12mW at 1MSPS). | Best suited for higher-throughput, multi-channel systems where external reference control and channel sequencing are required. | Select when >500ksps sampling or programmable input ranges are needed; avoid if board space or BOM simplification is critical. |
| MAX11192ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal reference (2.048V only), TSOT-23-8 package, but rated only to +70°C (C-grade) and lacks nap mode. | Applicable in commercial-grade portable instruments where extended temperature range is not required. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications; reject for industrial deployments requiring guaranteed –40°C to +85°C operation. |
Compared with ADS7953IRHBT and MAX11192ETE+, the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, integrated dual-range reference, nap-mode power savings, and zero-latency output - making it optimal for compact, battery-aware, thermally demanding signal acquisition.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF?
The LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF is specified for industrial-grade operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is explicitly confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, and applies to all performance parameters including INL, DNL, SINAD, and reference drift. The "I" in the part number denotes this industrial temperature grade.
Does the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a low-drift (≤20ppm/°C) internal reference that outputs 2.048V when powered from 2.7–3.6V VDD and 4.096V when powered from 4.75–5.25V VDD. The REF pin is internally buffered and must be bypassed with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable operation.
What is the minimum acquisition time for the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF?
The minimum acquisition time (tACQ) for the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF is 600ns, as specified in the ADC Timing Characteristics table. This value is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range and is independent of sampling rate. It defines the shortest time the analog input must settle before conversion begins.
How does nap mode work on the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF?
Nap mode on the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF activates automatically after each conversion completes, reducing supply current to ≤2mA. It retains reference buffer and bandgap bias, enabling wake-up and valid conversion within one clock cycle. Unlike sleep mode, nap mode requires no recovery delay and is ideal for intermittent sampling at rates below 500ksps.
Is the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2312 family?
Yes, the LTC2312ITS8-12#TRPBF shares identical pinout and package (8-lead TSOT-23) with all variants in the LTC2312 family, including the LTC2312CTS8-12#TRPBF (0°C to +70°C) and LTC2312HTS8-12#TRPBF (–40°C to +125°C). Functionally, it is also compatible with the 14-bit LTC2312-14 variants, differing only in resolution and dynamic performance specifications.
