Linear Technology LTC1290 Datasheet
The LTC1290 is a 12‑bit serial ADC with up to eight channels that can be configured for single‑ended or differential inputs. It includes a built‑in sample‑and‑hold, programmable data word length, and power‑down capability for low‑power applications. The device operates from a single 5 V supply and supports both MSB‑first and LSB‑first serial data formats.
The datasheet details electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, package options (20‑lead PDIP, SO‑wide, and ceramic), pin functions, typical performance curves, and related parts. It also includes ordering information and recommended solder‑pad layout for the various package types.
