Linear Technology LTC1286/LTC1298 Handbook
The LTC1286 and LTC1298 are micropower, 12‑bit, successive‑approximation A/D converters offered in 8‑lead plastic DIP and SOIC packages. They operate from a single supply (4.5 V to 9 V for LTC1286, 4.5 V to 5.5 V for LTC1298) and feature low‑cost operation with typical supply current of 250 µA during conversion and an auto‑shutdown current of 1 nA when idle.
The document lists detailed electrical characteristics, conversion timing, AC performance, pin functions, and example circuits such as a quick‑look test board and a battery‑monitoring application. Package dimensions and ordering information are also provided.
