LTC1096AIN8#PBF

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The LTC1096AIN8#PBF is an 8-bit micropower successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter in an 8-lead plastic DIP package. It features a single differential analog input and operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 9V. The device draws a maximum of 80μA during conversion and automatically powers down to 1nA typical current when inactive. It utilizes a 3-wire serial interface for data transfer, supporting clock frequencies up to 500kHz at 5V operation. The component guarantees ±0.5LSB total unadjusted error over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Micropower consumption with 80μA active current and 1nA shutdown current
• 8-bit resolution with SAR architecture and integrated sample-and-hold
• Single differential analog input with external reference capability
• 3-wire serial interface compatible with standard microprocessor ports

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 specific ordering suffix 'AIN8' corresponds to the 8-lead Plastic DIP package and the –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature grade. Confirm that the '#PBF' designation indicates lead-free finish compliance. Ensure the application circuit supports the required 3V to 9V single-supply operation and provides adequate bypassing for the VCC pin.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low power consumption and direct sensor connection without gain stages. The differential input allows measurement of signals floating on a DC common-mode voltage. For multi-channel requirements, consider the LTC1098 variant which includes a software-selectable 2-channel multiplexer. Ensure the system clock frequency does not exceed 500kHz at 5V or 250kHz at 3V.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC1096/LTC1096L/LTC1098/LTC1098L family of micropower sampling ADCs. The 'AI' suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade (–40°C to 85°C), while 'N8' specifies the 8-lead PDIP package. The base LTC1096 model provides a single differential input, distinguishing it from the LTC1098 which offers a dual-channel multiplexer.
