The LTC
®
1096L/LTC1098L are 3V micropower, 8-bit suc-
cessive approximation sampling A/D converters. They
typically draw only 40µA of supply current when convert-
ing and automatically power down to a typical supply
current of 1nA between conversions. They are packaged in
8-pin SO packages and operate on a 3V supply. These 8-
bit, switched capacitor, successive approximation ADCs
include a sample-and-hold. The LTC1096L has a single
differential analog input. The LTC1098L offers a software
selectable 2-channel multiplexed input.
On-chip serial ports allow efficient data transfer to a wide
range of microprocessors and microcontrollers over three
wires. This, coupled with micropower consumption, makes
remote location possible and facilitates transmitting data
through isolation barriers.
The circuits can be used in ratiometric applications or with
an external reference. The high impedance analog inputs
and the ability to operate with reduced spans (to 1V full
scale) allow direct connection to sensors and transducers
in many applications, eliminating the need for gain stages.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
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 GND.
Note 3:
This device is specified at 2.65V. Consult factory for 5V specified
devices.
Note 4:
Linearity error is specified between the actual end points of the
A/D transfer curve.
Note 5:
Total unadjusted error includes offset, full scale, linearity,
multiplexer and hold step errors.

Note 6:
Two on-chip diodes are tied to each reference and analog input
which will conduct for reference or analog input voltages one diode drop
below GND or one diode drop above V
CC
. This spec allows 50mV forward
bias of either diode for 2.65V
≤
V
CC
≤
3.6V. This means that as long as the
reference or analog input does not exceed the supply voltage by more than
50mV, the output code will be correct. To achieve an absolute 0V to 3V
input voltage range will therefore require a minimum supply voltage of
2.950V over initial tolerance, temperature variations and loading.
Note 7:
Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
