LTC1096LCS8#PBF

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The LTC1096LCS8#PBF is a micropower sampling 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Analog Devices. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture and features a serial input/output interface. The device operates on a single 5V supply, consuming only 600 µW of power dissipation. It supports pseudo-differential or single-ended inputs and requires an external voltage reference. Key performance metrics include a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) of 47 dB, with integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) specified at 0.5 LSB and 1 LSB respectively. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LCS8' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm temperature range and package variations. Ensure the external reference circuit meets the required accuracy specifications for the application. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current datasheet.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when low power consumption is critical alongside moderate 8-bit precision. The external reference design allows flexibility in setting input ranges but adds board space. Compare SINAD and power specs against higher-speed alternatives if bandwidth requirements increase.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC1096 series of micropower ADCs. Variants such as the IS8 and LIS8 differ primarily in operating temperature ranges and package types. The LCS8 designation typically indicates a commercial temperature range variant within the SOIC-8 footprint family.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same series include the LTC1096IS8#PBF and LTC1096LIS8#PBF, provided the temperature range requirements are met. Verify that the replacement part maintains the same serial interface timing and external reference configuration.
