The LTC 1096/LTC1096L/LTC1098/LTC1098L are micropower, 8-bit A/D converters that draw only 80A of supply current when converting. They automatically power down to 1nA typical supply current whenever they are not performing conversions. They are packaged in 8-pin SO packages and have both 3V (L) and 5V versions. These 8-bit, switched-capacitor, successive approximation ADCs include sample-and-hold. The LTC1096/LTC1096L have a single differential analog input. The LTC1098/LTC1098L offer a software selectable 2-channel MUX. On-chip serial ports allow efficient data transfer to a wide range of microprocessors and microcontrollers over three wires. This, coupled with micropower consumption, makes remote location possible and facilitates transmitting data through isolation barriers.
