The LTC1290BISW#PBF is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Linear Technology Corporation. It is a high-performance, precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for use in various applications where accurate and reliable conversion of analog signals to digital format is required. This IC offers several key features that make it a popular choice among engineers and designers.
One of the notable features of the LTC1290BISW#PBF is its high resolution and accuracy. It is a 12-bit ADC which means it can convert analog signals into 12-bit digital representations. This high resolution enables precise measurements and helps maintain signal integrity.
The LTC1290BISW#PBF operates with a single power supply voltage ranging from 4.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a low power consumption of only 600µW, which is an advantage in power-sensitive designs, helping to conserve battery life.
This IC also incorporates a unique auto-zeroing technique that enhances its precision. The auto-zero feature continually calibrates the system offset errors, resulting in better accuracy even in challenging environments where offset errors can significantly impact the measurement quality.
To ensure high linearity and minimize distortion, the LTC1290BISW#PBF utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. This architecture enables fast and accurate conversion rates of up to 100ksps (thousand samples per second)
