FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
TheLTC®1292/LTC1297aredataacquisitionsystemsthat
contain a 12-bit, switched-capacitor successive approxi-
mation A/D, a differential input, sample-and-hold on the
(+)input,andserialI/O.WhentheLTC1297isidlebetween
conversions it automatically powers down reducing the
supply current to 5µA, typically. The LTC1292 is capable
of digitizing signals at a 60kHz rate and with the device’s
excellent AC characteristics, it can be used for DSP appli-
cations. All these features are packaged in an 8-pin DIP
and are made possible using LTCMOSTM switched-capaci-
tor technology.

TheserialI/Oisdesignedtocommunicatewithoutexternal
hardware to most MPU serial ports and all MPU parallel
I/O ports allowing data to be transmitted over three wires.
Because of their accuracy, ease of use and small package
size these devices are well suited for digitizing analog
signals in remote applications where minimum number of
interconnects and power consumption are important.
