The LTC
®
1594/LTC1598 are micropower, 12-bit sampling
A/D converters that feature 4- and 8-channel multiplexers,
respectively. They typically draw only 320μA of supply
current when converting and automatically power down to
a typical supply current of 1nA between conversions. The
LTC1594 is available in a 16-pin SO package and the
LTC1598 is packaged in a 24-pin SSOP. Both operate on
a 5V supply. The 12-bit, switched-capacitor, successive
approximation ADCs include a sample-and-hold.
On-chip serial ports allow efficient data transfer to a wide
range of microprocessors and microcontrollers over three
or four wires. This, coupled with micropower consump-
tion, makes remote location possible and facilitates trans-
mitting data through isolation barriers.
The circuit 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 1.5V full
scale) allow direct connection to sensors and transducers
in many applications, eliminating the need for gain stages.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 3:
These devices are specified at 5V. Consult factory for 3V
specified devices (LTC1594L/LTC1598L).
Note 4:
Increased leakage currents at elevated temperatures cause the S/H
to droop, therefore it is recommended that f
CLK
≥
160kHz at 85°C,
f
CLK
≥
75kHz at 70°C and f
CLK
≥
1kHz at 25°C.
Note 5:
V
CC
= 5V, V
REF
= 5V and CLK = 320kHz unless otherwise specified.
CSADC and CSMUX pins are tied together during the test.
Note 6:
Linearity error is specified between the actual end points of the
A/D transfer curve.
Note 7:
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 4.5V
≤
V
CC
≤
5.5V. 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 5V
input voltage range, it will therefore require a minimum supply voltage of
4.950V over initial tolerance, temperature variations and loading.
Note 8:
Recommended operating condition. Not 100% production tested.
Note 9:
Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
