DUESCRIPTIO
The LTC1292/LTC1297 are data acquisition systems that
contain a 12-bit, switched-capacitor successive approximation A/D, a differential input, sample-and-hold on the
(+) input, and serial I/O. When the LTC1297 is idle between
conversions it automatically powers down reducing the
supply current to 5µA, typically. The LTC1292 is capable
of digitizing signals at a 60kHz rate and with the device’s
excellent AC characteristics, it can be used for DSP applications. All these features are packaged in an 8-pin DIP
and are made possible using LTCMOSTM switched-capacitor technology.
The serial I/O is designed to communicate without external
hardware to most MPU serial ports and all MPU parallel
I/O ports allowing data to be transmitted over three wires.
Because of their accuracy, ease of use and small package
size these devices are well suited for digitizing analog
signals in remote applications where minimum number of
interconnects and power consumption are important.

The LTC1292/LTC1297 are data acquisition components
which contain the following functional blocks:
The LTC1292/LTC1297 communicate with microprocessors and other external circuitry via a synchronous, halfduplex, three-wire serial interface (see Operating Sequence). The clock (CLK) synchronizes the data transfer
with each bit being transmitted on the falling CLK edge.
The LTC1292/LTC1297 do not require a configuration
input word and have no DIN pin. They are permanently
configured to have a single differential input and to perform a unipolar conversion. A falling CS initiates data
transfer. To allow the LTC1297 to recover from the power
