LINEAR TECHNOLOGY LTC1096 LTC1096L User Guide Manual
Summary
These ultra-low power 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) are engineered for demanding remote and battery-powered systems, making them ideal for data acquisition and advanced telemetry. The line includes both 3V and 5V versions designed to draw minimal current, even in standby mode, facilitating isolated signal monitoring like battery health gauging. This manual provides comprehensive technical specifications, application guides, and operational parameters for integrating the LTC1096/LTC1098 series with microprocessors and microcontrollers needing highly reliable ADC conversion performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical supply current when idle or in shutdown?
The device automatically powers down to a typical supply current of 1nA when not performing conversions.
Which models are available for use with 3V systems?
The LTC1096L and LTC1098L versions are available for operation at 3V (2.65V Min).
How does the LTC1098 model differ from the LTC1096?
The LTC1098 offers a software selectable 2-channel MUX, while the LTC1096 does not advertise this feature.
What kind of data interface do these converters have?
They include a direct 3-Wire Interface for most MPUs (Serial) and all MPU Parallel I/O ports.
