DESCRIPTION
µPower, 12-Bit, 250ksps
1- and 2-Channel ADCs in MSOP
The LTC
®
1860/LTC1861 are 12-bit A/D converters that are
offered in MSOP and SO-8 packages and operate on a single
5V supply. At 250ksps, the supply current is only 850μA.
The supply current drops at lower speeds because the
LTC1860/LTC1861 automatically power down to a typical
supply current of 1nA between conversions. These 12-bit
switched capacitor successive approximation ADCs include
sample-and-holds. The LTC1860 has a differential analog
input with an adjustable reference pin. The LTC1861 offers
a software-selectable 2-channel MUX and an adjustable
reference pin on the MSOP version.
The 3-wire, serial I/O, MSOP or SO-8 package and
extremely high sample rate-to-power ratio make these
ADCs ideal choices for compact, low power, high speed
systems.
These ADCs can be used in ratiometric applications or
with external references. The high impedance analog in-
puts and the ability to operate with reduced spans down
to 1V full scale, allow direct connection to signal sources
in many applications, eliminating the need for external
gain stages.
