The LTC1272 is a 3µs, 12-bit, successive approximation
sampling A/D converter. It has the same pinout as the
industry standard AD7572 and offers faster conversion
time, on-chip sample-and-hold, and single supply opera-
tion. It uses LTBiCMOS
TM
switched-capacitor technology to
combine a high speed 12-bit ADC with a fast, accurate
sample-and-hold and a precision reference.
The LTC1272 operates with a single 5V supply but can also
accept the 5V/–15V supplies required by the AD7572 (Pin
23, the negative supply pin of the AD7572, is not connected
on the LTC1272). The LTC1272 has the same 0V to 5V input
range as the AD7572 but, to achieve single supply opera-
tion, it provides a 2.42V reference output instead of the
– 5.25V of the AD7572. It plugs in for the AD7572 if the
reference capacitor polarity is reversed and a 1µs sample-
and-hold acquisition time is allowed between conversions.
The output data can be read as a 12-bit word or as two
8-bit bytes. This allows easy interface to both 8-bit and
higher processors. The LTC1272 can be used with a
crystal or an external clock and comes in speed grades of
3µs and 8µs.

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 with DGND and
AGND wired together, unless otherwise noted.
Note 3:
When the analog input voltage is taken below ground it will be
clamped by an internal diode. This product can handle, with no external
diode, input currents of greater than 60mA below ground without latch-up.

Note 5:
Linearity error is specified between the actual end points of the
A/D transfer curve.
Note 6:
The LTC1272 has the same 0V to 5V input range as the AD7572
but, to achieve single supply operation, it provides a 2.42V reference
output instead of the –5.25V of the AD7572. This requires that the polarity
of the reference bypass capacitor be reversed when plugging an LTC1272
into an AD7572 socket.
Note 7:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 8:
V
DD
= 5V. Timing specifications are sample tested at 25°C to
ensure compliance. All input control signals are specified with t
r
= t
f
= 5ns
(10% to 90% of 5V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6V. See Figures 13
through 17.
