The LTC
®
1287 is a 3V data acquisition component which
contains a serial I/O successive approximation A/D con-
verter. The device specifications are guaranteed at a
supply voltage of 2.7V. It uses LTCMOS
TM
switched ca-
pacitor technology to perform a 12-bit unipolar, A/D
conversion. The differential input has an on-chip sample-
and-hold on the (+) input.
The serial I/O is designed to communicate without external
hardware to most MPU serial ports and all MPU parallel
I/O ports allowing data to be transmitted and received over
three wires. The low voltage operating capability and the
low power consumption of this device make it ideally
suited for battery applications. Given the ease of use, small
package size and the minimum number of interconnects
for I/O, the LTC1287 can be used for remote sensing
applications.

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 ground (unless otherwise
noted).
Note 3:
V
CC
= 3V, V
REF
= 2.5V, CLK = 500kHz unless otherwise specified.
Note 4:
One LSB is equal to V
REF
divided by 4096. For example, when V
REF
= 2.5V, 1LSB = 2.5V/4096 = 0.61mV.
Note 5:
Integral nonlinearity error 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 6:
Recommended operating conditions.
U
Note 7:
Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input which will
conduct for analog voltages one diode drop below GND or one diode drop
above V
CC
. Be careful during testing at low V
CC
levels, as high level analog
inputs can cause this input diode to conduct, especially at elevated
temperature, and cause errors for inputs near full scale. This spec allows
50mV forward bias of either diode. This means that as long as the analog
input does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50mV, the output
code will be correct.
Note 8:
Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
Note 9:
Increased leakage currents at elevated temperatures cause the
S/H to droop, therefore it is recommended that f
CLK
≥
30kHz at 85°C and
f
CLK
≥
3kHz at 25°C.
