LTC1096CN8#PBF

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The LTC1096CN8#PBF is an 8-bit micropower successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features a single differential analog input and operates on a 5V supply with a range of 3V to 9V. The device draws a maximum of 80μA during conversion and typically 1nA in shutdown mode. It includes an internal sample-and-hold circuit and communicates via a 3-wire serial interface. Key electrical specifications include a maximum sampling frequency of 33kHz, a conversion time of 16μs, and a total unadjusted error of ±1.0 LSB over the operating temperature range.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Micropower consumption: 80μA active, 1nA shutdown
• Single differential analog input with external reference
• 3-wire synchronous serial interface compatible with microprocessors
• 8-bit resolution with 33kHz maximum sampling rate

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 that the CN8 suffix corresponds to the 8-lead plastic DIP package as specified in the manufacturer's ordering information. Confirm the 'C' grade indicates the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Ensure the #PBF designation confirms lead-free finish compliance. Cross-reference the specific lot markings against the datasheet for accurate identification.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential input channel is required rather than the multiplexed inputs found in the LTC1098 variant. It is suitable for applications requiring operation up to 9V supply voltage, whereas the LTC1096L is limited to 4V. Verify that the 3-wire serial interface matches the host microcontroller's available pins, as the LTC1098 requires a 4-wire interface.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC1096/LTC1096L/LTC1098/LTC1098L family of micropower 8-bit ADCs. The LTC1096CN8#PBF specifically denotes the standard 5V version in the commercial temperature grade packaged in an 8-lead DIP. It shares architectural similarities with the LTC1098 but differs in having a dedicated differential input instead of a software-selectable 2-channel multiplexer.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The LTC1096CS8#PBF serves as a pin-compatible surface-mount replacement offering identical electrical characteristics in an 8-lead SOIC package. For lower voltage applications, the LTC1096LCN8#PBF provides equivalent functionality within a 2.65V to 4V supply range.
