Product Overview: LTC1860LCS8#PBF

The LTC1860LCS8#PBF is a high-performance, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Analog Devices Inc., designed for precision data acquisition in compact and power-sensitive applications. This ADC features a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture that provides a fast and accurate conversion process, with a typical conversion time of just 2.2 microseconds.

Key Features

• High Resolution: The LTC1860LCS8#PBF offers 12-bit resolution, ensuring detailed and precise digital representations of analog signals.
• Low Power Consumption: With a supply current of only 850µA at a 5V supply, and a nap mode reducing current to 2µA, this device is ideal for battery-powered and portable applications where power efficiency is crucial.
• Single 5V Supply: The device operates from a single 5V supply, simplifying the power design for systems and reducing the need for multiple power rails.
• Wide Input Range: The input range of 0V to Vcc (the supply voltage) allows for a broad range of input signals to be accurately converted without the need for additional scaling circuitry.
• No Pipeline Delays: The SAR architecture ensures that the ADC does not introduce pipeline delays, making it suitable for control loop applications where timely data processing is critical.
• Small Package: Housed in an 8-lead narrow SO package, the LTC1860LCS8#PBF is compact and saves valuable board space in dense designs.
