Product details
Overview
LTC2361CS6#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 250ksps successive-approximation ADC in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package, operating from a single 2.35V–3.6V supply with 0.75mA typical supply current at full rate and 0.1μA sleep current. It features single-ended analog input (0V to VDD), SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface, no data latency, and is optimized for battery-powered sensor acquisition in handheld and portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2361CS6#TRPBF pinout, LTC2361CS6#TRPBF application, or LTC2361CS6#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250ksps throughput, 73dB SNR, 12-bit no-missing-codes resolution, TSOT-23-6 footprint, and VDD-referenced input architecture - all critical for low-power, space-constrained embedded data acquisition.
Technical Context
The LTC2361CS6#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, using an internal oscillator to guarantee deterministic 250ksps sampling without external clock dependency. Its conversion timing is fully self-timed: tACQ = 1μs and tCONV = 3μs yield a minimum throughput time of 4μs.
It operates exclusively in VDD-referenced mode (no separate VREF pin), delivering 0V–VDD analog input range and 12-bit serial output (MSB-first) via SDO, synchronized by SCK falling edges. The CONV signal controls both conversion initiation (rising edge) and SDO enable/disable (low = active output).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 73dB at fIN = 49kHz - supports >11.8 ENOB for high-fidelity sensor signal digitization. |
| Supply Current | 0.75mA at 250ksps; drops to 0.1μA in sleep mode - enables microamp-level average power in duty-cycled systems. |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to VDD (2.35V–3.6V) - eliminates need for external reference or level-shifting in single-supply designs. |
| Interface | SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial (CONV, SCK, SDO) - interoperable with standard MCU peripherals without protocol translation. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C (C-grade) - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6), 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 0.8mm, moisture sensitivity level 1, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive supply and reference source | Supplies core logic and defines full-scale analog input range (0V to VDD); requires 2.2μF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog and digital ground reference | Single ground connection point; must tie directly to solid ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| AIN (Pin 3) | Analog input | Single-ended input referenced to GND; accepts 0V–VDD signals with ±1μA leakage and 4pF dynamic capacitance during conversion. |
| SCK (Pin 4) | Serial clock input | Asynchronous clock up to 25MHz; data valid on falling edge; timing-critical for SDO synchronization. |
| SDO (Pin 5) | Three-state serial data output | Outputs 12-bit MSB-first conversion result followed by trailing zeros; Hi-Z when CONV = high. |
| CONV (Pin 6) | Convert control input | Rising edge initiates conversion; low state enables SDO output and powers up device; high state forces sleep mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No data latency | Conversion result available immediately after tTHROUGHPUT (4μs), enabling deterministic real-time control loops. |
| Auto-sleep power management | Draws only 0.1μA between conversions - reduces average power by >99% vs. continuous operation at 250ksps. |
| VDD-referenced architecture | Eliminates external reference component and associated layout complexity in compact, cost-sensitive designs. |
| High-impedance analog input | ±1μA leakage and 20pF static capacitance allow direct connection to resistive sensors and transducers without buffer amplifiers. |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C junction | Rated TJMAX = 150°C with θJA = 250°C/W - supports reliable deployment in thermally constrained enclosures. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 200ksps max, 2.7–5.25V supply, external reference required, SO-8 package | Lacks auto-sleep; higher supply current (1.25mA); needs external REF and decoupling | Choose if wider supply range or legacy SO-8 layout compatibility is required; avoid for battery life-critical designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF?
The LTC2361CS6#TRPBF has a guaranteed maximum sampling rate of 250ksps across its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C). This is achieved using an internal oscillator, eliminating the need for an external clock source. At this rate, the device draws 0.75mA typical supply current from a 3V supply and completes each conversion in 3μs with 1μs acquisition time.
Does the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF require an external voltage reference?
No, the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF does not require an external voltage reference. As a 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6) variant, it uses VDD as the reference source, providing a 0V to VDD analog input range. This architecture removes the need for external reference components, reducing BOM count and PCB area - a key advantage over 8-lead TSOT-23 variants like the LTC2361CTS8#TRPBF that support dedicated VREF pins.
How does the CONV pin function on the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF?
The CONV pin on the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF serves two critical functions: a rising edge initiates conversion, and a logic-low state enables the SDO output driver to shift out the 12-bit result. When CONV remains high after conversion, the device automatically enters sleep mode, drawing only 0.1μA. This dual-role pin simplifies control sequencing and enables precise power gating in microcontroller-driven systems.
What is the analog input impedance and leakage specification for the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF?
The LTC2361CS6#TRPBF specifies ±1μA maximum analog input leakage current (IIN) at the AIN pin when CONV is high, and 4pF dynamic input capacitance during conversion. Its high-impedance input allows direct connection to passive sensors and transducers without buffer amplifiers - especially valuable in low-power, high-precision measurement chains where added noise and offset from op-amps must be avoided.
Is the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC236x family?
No, the LTC2361CS6#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with 8-lead TSOT-23 variants (e.g., LTC2361CTS8#TRPBF) due to differing pin counts and functions - the S6 package omits VREF and OVDD pins. However, it shares identical functionality and timing with the LTC2360CS6#TRPBF and LTC2362CS6#TRPBF, differing only in maximum sampling rate (100ksps/250ksps/500ksps) and corresponding supply current (0.5mA/0.75mA/1.1mA).
