LTC1096ACN8#PBF

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The LTC1096ACN8#PBF is an 8-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Analog Devices. It features a single differential analog input and operates on a 5V supply with a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device draws 80µA maximum during conversion and enters a shutdown mode with 1nA typical current. It includes an internal sample-and-hold circuit, supporting sampling rates up to 33kHz with a conversion time of 16µs. Data transfer occurs via a 3-wire serial interface compatible with standard microprocessor ports.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Micropower consumption: 80µA active, 1nA shutdown
• 8-bit resolution with ±0.5LSB total unadjusted error
• Single differential analog input with integrated sample-and-hold
• 3-wire serial interface for direct MPU connection

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Battery-operated systems
• Remote data acquisition
• Battery monitoring and gas gauges
• Temperature measurement
• Isolated data acquisition

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the package type matches the required PCB footprint, as this part number specifies an 8-lead Plastic DIP (PDIP). Confirm the operating temperature grade corresponds to the application environment, as the 'A' suffix indicates the commercial range (0°C to 70°C). Ensure the system voltage aligns with the 5V operation requirement specified for the non-L variant.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select the LTC1096ACN8#PBF when a single differential input channel is required rather than the multiplexed inputs found in the LTC1098 series. This component is suitable for applications requiring direct sensor connection due to high impedance inputs and reduced span capabilities. Verify that the 3-wire serial interface timing meets the microcontroller's clock requirements for the desired sampling rate.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the LTC1096 family of micropower 8-bit ADCs. It shares architectural similarities with the LTC1098, which offers a 2-channel multiplexer, but differs in having a dedicated differential input pair. The ACN8 suffix denotes the specific temperature grade and 8-pin PDIP packaging configuration within the broader product line.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The LTC1096CS8#PBF serves as a pin-compatible surface mount alternative using an 8-lead SOIC package. For applications requiring a 2-channel multiplexer instead of a single differential input, the LTC1098ACN8#PBF is the functional equivalent within the same power and performance class.
