The LTC

1860L/LTC1861L are 12-bit A/D converters that
are offered in MSOP and SO-8 packages and operate on a
single 3V supply. At 150ksps, the supply current is only
450µA. The supply current drops at lower speeds because
the LTC1860L/LTC1861L automatically power down be-
tween conversions. These 12-bit switched capacitor suc-
cessive approximation ADCs include sample-and-holds.
The LTC1860L has a differential analog input with an
external reference pin. The LTC1861L offers a software-
selectable 2-channel MUX and an external 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 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.
