The LTC1272-3ACN#PBF is a low-power, 12-bit A/D converter integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Linear Technology Corporation. It is commonly used in various applications where precision analog-to-digital conversion is required. This particular IC offers several key features that make it suitable for a range of applications.
Firstly, the LTC1272-3ACN#PBF boasts a high level of conversion accuracy with its 12-bit resolution. This means it can provide a digital representation of an analog input signal with up to 4096 discrete levels, allowing for precise measurements and calculations. The accuracy is further enhanced by the IC's low integral non-linearity, low differential non-linearity, and excellent noise performance.
The component also offers a wide input voltage range, making it versatile and flexible for various input signal types. It can handle input signals ranging from 0V to VCC, where VCC is typically between 2.7V and 5.5V. This wide input voltage range allows for compatibility with different signal sources and voltage levels.
In addition to its high accuracy and wide input voltage range, the LTC1272-3ACN#PBF incorporates a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture, which provides fast and efficient conversion times. The SAR architecture enables conversion speeds of up to 175,000 samples per second, allowing for real-time or near real-time data acquisition in time-critical applications
