LTC1860/LTC1861
µPower, 12-Bit, 250ksps
1- and 2-Channel ADCs in MSOP
Features
Description
12-Bit 250ksps ADCs in MSOP Package
nn Single 5V Supply
nn Low Supply Current: 850µA (Typ)
nn Auto Shutdown Reduces Supply Current
to 2µA at 1ksps
nn True Differential Inputs
nn 1-Channel (LTC1860) or 2-Channel (LTC1861)
Versions
nn SPI/MICROWIRETM Compatible Serial I/O
nn High Speed Upgrade to LTC1286/LTC1298
nn Pin Compatible with 16-Bit LTC1864/LTC1865
nn Guaranteed Operation to 125°C (MSOP Package)
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.

Applications
High Speed Data Acquisition
Portable or Compact Instrumentation
nn Low Power Battery-Operated Instrumentation
nn Isolated and/or Remote Data Acquisition
nn
nn
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 inputs 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.

Pin Functions
LTC1860
VREF (Pin 1): Reference Input. The reference input defines
the span of the A/D converter and must be kept free of
noise with respect to GND.
SDI (Pin 6): Digital Data Input. The A/D configuration
word is shifted into this input.
SDO (Pin 7): Digital Data Output. The A/D conversion
result is shifted out of this output.
IN +, IN– (Pins 2, 3): Analog Inputs. These inputs must be
free of noise with respect to GND.
SCK (Pin 8): Shift Clock Input. This clock synchronizes
the serial data transfer.
GND (Pin 4): Analog Ground. GND should be tied directly
to an analog ground plane.
VCC (Pin 9): Positive Supply. This supply must be kept
free of noise and ripple by bypassing directly to the
analog ground plane.
CONV (Pin 5): Convert Input. A logic high on this input
starts the A/D conversion process. If the CONV input is
left high after the A/D conversion is finished, the part
powers down. A logic low on this input enables the SDO
pin, allowing the data to be shifted out.
SDO (Pin 6): Digital Data Output. The A/D conversion
result is shifted out of this pin.
SCK (Pin 7): Shift Clock Input. This clock synchronizes
the serial data transfer.
VCC (Pin 8): Positive Supply. This supply must be kept
free of noise and ripple by bypassing directly to the
analog ground plane.
LTC1861 (MSOP Package)
CONV (Pin 1): Convert Input. A logic high on this input
starts the A/D conversion process. If the CONV input is
left high after the A/D conversion is finished, the part
powers down. A logic low on this input enables the SDO
pin, allowing the data to be shifted out.
CH0, CH1 (Pins 2, 3): Analog Inputs. These inputs must
be free of noise with respect to AGND.
AGND (Pin 4): Analog Ground. AGND should be tied directly
to an analog ground plane.
DGND (Pin 5): Digital Ground. DGND should be tied directly
to an analog ground plane.
VREF (Pin 10): Reference Input. The reference input defines
the span of the A/D converter and must be kept free of
noise with respect to AGND.
LTC1861 (SO-8 Package)
CONV (Pin 1): Convert Input. A logic high on this input
starts the A/D conversion process. If the CONV input is
left high after the A/D conversion is finished, the part

pin, allowing the data to be shifted out.
CH0, CH1 (Pins 2, 3): Analog Inputs. These inputs must
be free of noise with respect to GND.

Figure 3. LTC1860 with Rail-to-Rail Input Span
LTC1860 OPERATION
Analog Inputs
Operating Sequence
The LTC1860 has a unipolar differential analog input. The
converter will measure the voltage between the “IN + ”
and “IN–” inputs. A zero code will occur when IN+ minus
IN– equals zero. Full scale occurs when IN+ minus IN–
equals VREF minus 1LSB. See Figure 2. Both the “IN+” and
“IN–” inputs are sampled at the same time, so common
mode noise on the inputs is rejected by the ADC. If “IN–”
is grounded and VREF is tied to VCC, a rail-to-rail input
span will result on “IN+” as shown in Figure 3.
The LTC1860 conversion cycle begins with the rising edge
of CONV. After a period equal to t CONV, the conversion is
finished. If CONV is left high after this time, the LTC1860
goes into sleep mode drawing only leakage current. On the
falling edge of CONV, the LTC1860 goes into sample mode
and SDO is enabled. SCK synchronizes the data transfer
with each bit being transmitted from SDO on the falling
SCK edge. The receiving system should capture the data
from SDO on the rising edge of SCK. After completing the
data transfer, if further SCK clocks are applied with CONV
low, SDO will output zeros indefinitely. See Figure 1.
Reference Input
The voltage on the reference input of the LTC1860 (and the
LTC1861 MSOP package) defines the full-scale range of
the A/D converter. These ADCs can operate with reference
voltages from VCC to 1V.

LTC1861 OPERATION
Analog Inputs
Operating Sequence
The two bits of the input word (SDI) assign the MUX
configuration for the next requested conversion. For a
given channel selection, the converter will measure the
voltage between the two channels indicated by the “+”
and “–” signs in the selected row of the following table. In
single‑ended mode, all input channels are measured with
respect to GND (or AGND). A zero code will occur when
the “+” input minus the “–” input equals zero. Full scale
occurs when the “+” input minus the “–” input equals
VREF minus 1LSB. See Figure 5. Both the “+” and “–”
inputs are sampled at the same time so common mode
noise is rejected. The input span in the SO-8 package is
fixed at VREF = VCC. If the “–” input in differential mode
is grounded, a rail-to-rail input span will result on the
“+” input.
The LTC1861 conversion cycle begins with the rising edge
of CONV. After a period equal to t CONV, the conversion is
finished. If CONV is left high after this time, the LTC1861
goes into sleep mode. The LTC1861’s 2-bit data word is
clocked into the SDI input on the rising edge of SCK after
CONV goes low. Additional inputs on the SDI pin are then
ignored until the next CONV cycle. The shift clock (SCK)
synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being transmitted on the falling SCK edge and captured on the rising
SCK edge in both transmitting and receiving systems.
The data is transmitted and received simultaneously (full
duplex). After completing the data transfer, if further SCK
clocks are applied with CONV low, SDO will output zeros
indefinitely. See Figure 4.

LTC1860/LTC1861
Applications Information
Reference Input
Bypassing
The reference input of the LTC1861 SO-8 package is
internally tied to VCC. The span of the A/D converter is
therefore equal to VCC. The voltage on the reference input
of the LTC1861 MSOP package defines the span of the
A/D converter. The LTC1861 MSOP package can operate
with reference voltages from 1V to VCC.
For good performance, the VCC and VREF pins must be free
of noise and ripple. Any changes in the VCC/VREF voltage
with respect to ground during the conversion cycle can
induce errors or noise in the output code. Bypass the VCC
and VREF pins directly to the analog ground plane with a
minimum of 1µF tantalum. Keep the bypass capacitor
leads as short as possible.
GENERAL analog considerations
Analog Inputs
Grounding
Because of the capacitive redistribution A/D conversion
techniques used, the analog inputs of the LTC1860/
LTC1861 have capacitive switching input current spikes.
These current spikes settle quickly and do not cause a
problem if source resistances are less than 200Ω or high
speed op amps are used (e.g., the LT®1211, LT1469,
LT1807, LT1810, LT1630, LT1226 or LT1215). But if
large source resistances are used, or if slow settling op
amps drive the inputs, take care to ensure the transients
caused by the current spikes settle completely before the
conversion begins.
The LTC1860/LTC1861 should be used with an analog
ground plane and single point grounding techniques. Do not
use wire wrapping techniques to breadboard and evaluate
the device. To achieve the optimum performance, use a
printed circuit board. The ground pins (AGND and DGND
for the LTC1861 MSOP package and GND for the LTC1860
and LTC1861 SO-8 package) should be tied directly to the
analog ground plane with minimum lead length.
