DESCRIPTION
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.
