The LTC
®
1291 is a data acquisition system that contains
a serial I/O successive approximation A/D converter. It
uses LTCMOS
TM
switched capacitor technology to per-
form a 12-bit unipolar A/D conversion. The input multi-
plexer can be configured for either single-ended or differ-
ential inputs. An on-chip sample-and-hold is included on
the “+” input. When the LTC1291 is idle, it can be powered
down in applications where low power consumption is
desired. An external reference is not required because the
LTC1291 takes its reference from the power supply (V
CC
).
All these features are packaged in an 8-pin DIP.
The serial I/O is designed to communicate without external
hardware to most MPU serial ports and all MPU parallel
I/O ports allowing data to be transmitted over three or four
wires. Given the accuracy, ease of use and small package
size, this device is well suited for digitizing analog signals
in remote applications where minimum number of inter-
connects, small physical size, and low power consump-
tion are important.

Note 7: Two on-chip diodes are tied to each analog input which will
conduct for analog voltages one diode drop below GND or one diode drop
above V
CC
. Be careful during testing at low V
CC
levels (4.5V), as high level
analog inputs (5V) can cause this input diode to conduct, especially at
elevated temperature, and cause errors for inputs near full scale. This spec
allows 50mV forward bias of either diode. This means that as long as the
analog input does not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50mV, the
output code will be correct.
Note 8: Channel leakage current is measured after the channel selection.
Note 9: Increased leakage currents at elevated temperatures cause the
S/H to droop, therefore it is recommended that f
CLK
125kHz at 125°C,
f
CLK
30kHz at 85°C and f
CLK
3kHz at 25°C.
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to ground (unless otherwise
noted).
Note 3: V
CC
= 5V, CLK = 1.0MHz unless otherwise specified.
Note 4: One LSB is equal to V
CC
divided by 4096. For example, when V
CC
=
5V, 1LSB = 5V/4096 = 1.22mV.
Note 5: Linearity error is specified between the actual end points of the
A/D transfer curve. The deviation is measured from the center of the
quantization band.
Note 6: Recommended operating conditions.
