Linear Technology LTC1861
The LTC1861 offers a software-selectable 2-channel MUX and an adjustable reference pin on the MSOP version. The 3-wire, serial I/O, MSOP or SO-8 package and extremely high sample rate-to-power ratio make these ADCs ideal choices for compact, low power, high speed systems. These ADCs can be used in ratiometric applications or with external references.FEATURES

The LTC®1860/LTC1861 are 12-bit A/D converters that are offered in MSOP and SO-8 packages and operate on a single 5V supply. At 250ksps, the supply current is only 850µA. The supply current drops at lower speeds because the LTC1860/LTC1861 automatically power down to a typical supply current of 1nA between conversions. These 12-bit switched capacitor successive approximation ADCs include sample-and-holds.
