LTC1196/LTC1198
8-Bit, SO-8, 1Msps ADCs
with Auto-Shutdown Options
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1196ꢀLTC1198 are 600ns, 8-bit AꢀD converters
with sampling rates up to 1MHz. They are offered in 8-pin
SO packages and operate on 3V to 6V supplies. Power
dissipation is only 10mW with a 3V supply or 50mW with
a 5V supply. The LTC1198 automatically powers down
to a typical supply current of 1nA whenever it is not
performing conversions. These 8-bit switched-capacitor
successive approximation ADCs include sample-and-
holds. The LTC1196 has a differential analog input; the
LTC1198 offers a software selectable /-channel MUX.

Converts 1MHz Inputs to 7 Effective Bits
The 3-wire serial IꢀO, SO-8 packages, 3V operation and
extremely high sample rate-to-power ratio make these
ADCs an ideal choice for compact, high speed systems.

SO-8 Plastic Package
These ADCs can be used in ratiometric applications or
with external references. The high impedance analog in-
puts and the ability to operate with reduced spans below
1V full scale (LTC1196) allow direct connection to signal
sources in many applications, eliminating the need for
gain stages.
