LTC1286/LTC1298
Micropower Sampling
12-Bit A/D Converters In
S0-8 Packages
DESCRIPTION
The LTC1286/LTC1298 are micropower, 12-bit, succes-
sive approximation sampling A/D converters. They typi-
cally draw only 250µA of supply current when converting
and automatically power down to a typical supply current
of 1nA whenever they are not performing conversions.
They are packaged in 8-pin SO packages and operate on
5V to 9V supplies. These 12-bit, switched-capacitor, suc-
cessive approximation ADCs include sample-and-holds.
The LTC1286 has a single differential analog input. The
LTC1298 offers a software selectable 2-channel MUX.
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.
These 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
1.5V 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:
These devices are specified at 5V. For 3V specified devices, see
LTC1285 and LTC1288.
Note 4:
Increased leakage currents at elevated temperatures cause the S/H
to droop, therefore it is recommended that f
CLK
≥
120kHz at 85°C, f
CLK
≥
75kHz at 70° and f
CLK
≥
1kHz at 25°C.
Note 5:
V
CC
= 5V, V
REF
= 5V and CLK = 200kHz unless otherwise specified.
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 will therefore require a minimum supply voltage of
4.950V over initial tolerance, temperature variations and loading. For 5.5V
< V
CC
≤
9V, reference and analog input range cannot exceed 5.55V. If
reference and analog input range are greater than 5.55V, the output code
will not be guaranteed to be correct.
Note 8:
The supply voltage range for the LTC1286 is from 4.5V to 9V, but
the supply voltage range for the LTC1298 is only from 4.5V to 5.5V.
Note 9:
Recommended operating conditions
Note 10:
Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
