The LTC
®
1292/LTC1297 are data acquisition systems that
contain a 12-bit, switched-capacitor successive approxi-
mation A/D, a differential input, sample-and-hold on the
(+) input, and serial I/O. When the LTC1297 is idle between
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 LTCMOS
TM
switched-capaci-
tor technology.
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 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.

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, V
REF
= 5V, CLK = 1.0MHz unless otherwise specified.
Note 4:
One LSB is equal to V
REF
divided by 4096. For example, when
V
REF
= 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.
Note 7:
Two on-chip diodes are tied to each reference and analog input
which will conduct for reference or analog input voltages one diode drop

. Be careful during testing at low
V
CC
levels (4.5V), as high level reference or analog inputs (5V) can cause
this input diode to conduct, especially at elevated temperatures, and cause
errors for inputs near full scale. This spec allows 50mV forward bias of
either diode. This means that as long as the reference or analog input does
not exceed the supply voltage by more than 50mV, the output code will be
correct. To achieve an absolute 0V to 5V input voltage range will therefore
require a minimum supply voltage of 4.950V over initial tolerance,
temperature variations and loading.
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

≥125kHz
at 125°C,
f
CLK
≥
31kHz at 85°C, and f

≥
