The LTC1273/LTC1275/LTC1276 are 300ksps, sampling
12-bit A/D converters that draw only 75mW from single
5V or
±5V
supplies. These easy-to-use devices come
complete with 600ns sample-and-holds, precision refer-
ences and internally trimmed clocks. Unipolar and bipo-
lar conversion modes provide flexibility for various appli-
cations. They are built with LTBiCMOS
TM
switched ca-
pacitor technology.
These devices have 25ppm/°C (max) internal references.
The LTC1273 converts 0V to 5V unipolar inputs from a
single 5V supply. The LTC1275/LTC1276 convert
±2.5V
and
±5V
respectively from
±5V
supplies. Maximum DC
specifications include
±1/2LSB
INL,
±3/4LSB
DNL and
25ppm/°C full scale drift over temperature. Outstanding
AC performance includes 70dB S/(N + D) and 77dB THD
at the Nyquist input frequency of 150kHz.
The internal clock is trimmed for 2.7µs maximum conver-
sion time. The clock automatically synchronizes to each
sample command eliminating problems with asynchro-
nous clock noise found in competitive devices. A high
speed parallel interface eases connections to FIFOs, DSPs
and microprocessors.

Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to ground with DGND and
AGND wired together (unless otherwise noted).
Note 3:
When these pin voltages are taken below V

product can handle input currents greater than 60mA below V

Note 6:
Linearity, offset and full scale specifications apply for unipolar and
bipolar modes.
Note 7:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 8:
Bipolar offset (LTC1275/LTC1276) is the different voltage
measured from – 0.5LSB when the LTC1275/LTC1276 output code flickers
between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111.
Note 9:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 10:
Recommended operating conditions.
Note11:
A
IN
must not exceed V
DD
or fall below V
SS
by more than 50mV for
specified accuracy. Therefore the minimum supply voltage for the
LTC1273 is + 4.95V. The minimum supplies for the LTC1275 are +4.75V
and – 2.45V and the minimum supplies for the LTC1276 are
±4.95V.
