LTC1272-3ACSW#PBF

The LTC1272-3ACSW#PBF is an 8-Bit, monolithic, successive-approximation, Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) designed for applications requiring high performance and low power consumption. It is designed to operate from a single supply, making it suitable for low-power portable systems. The LTC1272-3ACSW#PBF is capable of converting single-ended differential or true-differential input voltages with excellent accuracy and high resolution. The on-chip clock generator makes it ideal for multiplexed applications, providing the highest possible resolution with minimum conversion time.

The LTC1272-3ACSW#PBF uses successive-approximation architecture to perform the A/D conversion. It consists of an analog input stage, a digital logic circuitry and a high-speed clock generator. A/D conversion process starts by sampling the voltage on the analog input. Then, a high-speed clock is used to generate a series of held digital states. Each state results in a different input-output result and the final state points to the most significant digit of the resultant digital word. This process is repeated through the rest of the states and the successive approximation algorithm is used to determine the digits. This process is repeated until the predetermined accuracy is achieved. The resulting digital word is then output as a binary data stream.

The main application for the LTC1272-3ACSW#PBF is battery-powered instrumentation. It can be used for low-power applications such as monitoring temperature, humidity, pressure, and radiation levels for industrial, medical and scientific applications. It can also be used for wireless sensor nodes and remote monitoring systems. It can also be used in automotive applications such as cruise control, chassis control and engine control.

The LTC1272-3ACSW#PBF offers excellent performance in terms of conversion speed, power consumption, and accuracy. It provides a throughput rate ranging from 100 samples per second (SPS) to 10,000 SPS, depending on the application. It also offers a power dissipation of 800 micro-Watts (µW) with ±2.5 mV of unipolar input range. In terms of accuracy, it ensures a differential non-linearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB, offset error of ±1 LSB, and an integral non-linearity (INL) of ±0.5 LSB.

In short, the LTC1272-3ACSW#PBF is an advanced monolithic successive-approximation Analog-to-Digital Converter with excellent performance for low power applications. Its 8-bit accuracy and wide conversion range make it ideal for battery-powered instrumentation, industrial and scientific monitoring, wireless sensor nodes and automotive applications.
