Product details
Overview
LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF 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), delivering 72.7dB SINAD and –84dB THD at full throughput - ideal for automotive-grade data acquisition in space-constrained, low-power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF datasheet, LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF pinout, LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF application, or LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed no missing codes, 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 –40°C to 85°C operation.
Technical Context
The LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF implements a fully integrated SAR architecture with internal bandgap reference, reference buffer, and sample-and-hold - eliminating external reference components while maintaining ±0.3 LSB INL and ±0.2 LSB DNL over temperature. Its timing logic synchronizes conversion initiation on CONV rising edge and outputs MSB on CONV falling edge with zero-cycle latency.
Power management is handled autonomously: after each conversion, the device enters nap mode (2mA typical), and can be forced into sleep mode (<1µA) via serial command sequence. The dual-supply architecture separates analog (VDD) and digital I/O (OVDD) domains, enabling interoperability with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V host logic without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with guaranteed no missing codes across full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - supports real-time acquisition of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth with 2000ns minimum throughput time. |
| SINAD / SNR | 72.7dB / 73dB at 500ksps - enables high-fidelity digitization of medium-bandwidth sensor or communication signals with minimal noise floor degradation. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.048V (VDD = 2.7–3.6V) or 4.096V (VDD = 4.75–5.25V) - auto-configured internal reference eliminates external component count and reduces layout sensitivity. |
| Supply Current | 3mA at 500ksps (5V), 2mA in nap mode, <1µA in sleep mode - enables battery-operated or thermally constrained automotive subsystems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - AEC-Q100 qualified for under-hood and infotainment applications requiring industrial-grade reliability. |
| Interface | SPI-compatible 3-wire (CONV/SCK/SDO) with 1.8V–5V OVDD - allows direct connection to modern microcontrollers without voltage translation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 (TS8), 3.0mm × 1.6mm × 0.8mm profile, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance in compact PCB layouts.
| 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 or 4.096V depending on VDD; may be overdriven externally; must be bypassed with 2.2µF low-ESR capacitor for stability. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for analog circuitry; must connect directly to solid ground plane to minimize noise coupling into ADC core. |
| AIN (Pin 4) | Analog input | Single-ended input referenced to GND, 0V to VREF range; draws ≤1µA DC leakage and exhibits 13pF sample-mode capacitance. |
| OVDD (Pin 5) | Digital I/O supply | Supplies SDO, SCK, and CONV logic levels (1.71–5.25V); decoupled with 2.2µF ceramic capacitor - enables mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial data output | Three-state output driven by OVDD; shifts out 12-bit MSB-first result with no latency; enters Hi-Z when CONV is high. |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 20MHz clock; data valid on falling edge; timing-critical for t4 (11ns access) and t7 (1ns hold) compliance. |
| CONV (Pin 8) | Convert control input | Active-high start signal; rising edge initiates conversion; falling edge enables SDO and triggers sample mode - defines full timing sequence. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No missing codes guarantee | Ensures monotonic transfer function across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), critical for closed-loop control and position sensing. |
| Auto nap mode entry | Reduces average supply current to ~2mA between conversions without software intervention - simplifies power-aware firmware design. |
| Zero-cycle latency | Delivers first bit (MSB) on falling edge of CONV, enabling deterministic timing alignment in time-critical sampling applications like motor control. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Validated for automotive use per Grade I (–40°C to +85°C), including HTOL, ESD, and vibration testing - suitable for ADAS sensor front-ends. |
| Separate OVDD supply | Decouples digital I/O voltage from analog supply, allowing direct interface to 1.8V FPGAs or 3.3V MCUs without level shifters or additional BOM cost. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRSBT | 12-bit, 1MSPS, 16-channel multiplexed SAR ADC; requires external reference; 3.3V-only supply; SPI interface with busy indicator. | Designed for multi-sensor scanning systems; lacks integrated reference and automotive qualification. | Select when channel multiplexing and higher throughput outweigh need for reference integration and AEC-Q100 compliance. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal reference (2.048V), 1.8V–5.25V supply; no AEC-Q100 rating; 16-pin TQFN package. | Targeted at industrial and medical instrumentation; wider supply range but larger footprint and unqualified for automotive use. | Choose for non-automotive designs needing identical speed/reference but preferring TQFN thermal performance and availability. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF?
The LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade I applications. All electrical specifications - including INL, DNL, SINAD, and reference drift - are guaranteed across this full range, with thermal resistance θJA = 195°C/W in the TSOT-23 package.
Does the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF integrates a precision bandgap reference and reference buffer, automatically selecting 2.048V (at 2.7–3.6V VDD) or 4.096V (at 4.75–5.25V VDD). External reference is optional via REF pin overdrive, but not required - reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity for the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF.
How does the nap mode function in the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF?
The LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF automatically enters nap mode after each conversion, reducing supply current to ~2mA while retaining reference and bias circuitry active. This enables wake-up and full-accuracy conversion within one clock cycle - unlike sleep mode, which requires 1.1ms reference recovery. Nap mode is transparent to firmware and requires no configuration.
What is the maximum SCK frequency supported by the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF?
The LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF supports up to 20MHz SCK frequency, with minimum SCK period of 50ns. Timing parameters t4 (11ns data access) and t7 (1ns data hold) are specified at 10pF load; loads >10pF require buffering to maintain setup/hold margins and ensure reliable 12-bit data capture from the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF.
Is the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2312 family?
Yes, the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF shares identical 8-lead TSOT-23 pinout and interface protocol with all LTC2312-x variants (e.g., LTC2312-14), enabling hardware reuse across resolution grades. However, reference voltage scaling and dynamic performance differ - the LTC2312ITS8-12#WTRPBF delivers 12-bit resolution with 72.7dB SINAD, while 14-bit versions offer higher ENOB at lower speed.
