Linear Technology Releases 12-Bit, 3Msps SAR ADC in SOT23 Package

(Product News, 2 May 2008)

Linear Technology Corp.'s LTC2366 is a 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC that outputs data at up to 3Msps. Operating from a single 2.35V to 3.6V supply, the LTC2366 consumes only 7.2mW at the maximum output rate, a 20 percent power savings over the nearest competitor. Available in six- and eight-lead TSOT-23 packages, the LTC2366 is ideal for a wide variety of portable and space-constrained applications, including medical devices, communication systems, and industrial monitors.

The LTC2366 is said to be Linear's fastest offering in a family of five TSOT-23 pin- and software-compatible ADCs. The LTC2365 output data rate is guaranteed up to 1Msps and the LTC2362 up to 500ksps. For lower speeds, the LTC2361 is guaranteed up to 250ksps and the LTC2360 up to 100ksps. Power is optimized for each sample rate, as the LTC2360 draws just 1.5mW at 100ksps. Power dissipation can be further decreased with a shutdown mode that reduces the supply current to 2µA (max.), saving battery life. With guaranteed specifications across the -40°C to +125°C temperature range, the LTC2366, LTC2365, LTC2362, LTC2361, and LTC2360 can be used for monitoring precision DC or AC signals in a variety of applications, including automotive.
