Product details
Overview
LTC2376-18 from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 250ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with ±1.75LSB INL max, 102dB SNR at 2kHz, and 3.4mW power consumption at full speed. It features fully differential ±VREF input (2.5V–5.1V reference), SPI-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain mode, and digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier drive - used in high-speed data acquisition and medical imaging systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376-18 datasheet, LTC2376-18 pinout, LTC2376-18 application, or LTC2376-18 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes operation, internal conversion clock eliminating external timing constraints, DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference, and H-grade support up to 125°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2376-18 implements a charge redistribution capacitor DAC (CDAC) architecture with differential comparator and 18-bit successive approximation logic. Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV, with fixed 1.9–3µs conversion time set by an internal oscillator - eliminating pipeline delay and cycle latency.
Its analog front-end supports ±VREF fully differential inputs with 34MHz –3dB bandwidth, 45pF sampling capacitance, and 40Ω switch RON. Digital gain compression (DGC) is controlled via the REF/DGC pin, enabling zero-scale mapping to 0.1·VREF and full-scale to 0.9·VREF without hardware modification.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2376-18?
The LTC2376-18 achieves a maximum sampling rate of 250ksps with no pipeline delay or cycle latency. This is enabled by its internal oscillator and successive approximation architecture, ensuring deterministic timing for time-critical applications such as closed-loop control and real-time signal analysis. The LTC2376-18 maintains full 18-bit performance and ±1.75LSB INL across this entire rate.
How does digital gain compression (DGC) work in the LTC2376-18?
Digital gain compression in the LTC2376-18 is activated by grounding the REF/DGC pin, which redefines the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1·VREF–0.9·VREF. For a 5V reference, this yields a 0.5V–4.5V differential input window, enabling single-supply amplifier operation (e.g., LT6350 from +5.5V). The LTC2376-18 preserves full 18-bit resolution and linearity while simplifying analog front-end design.
Which package options are available for the LTC2376-18?
The LTC2376-18 is offered in two RoHS-compliant packages: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm) and 16-lead 4mm × 3mm plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad. Both support H-grade (–40°C to +125°C) operation. The DFN variant requires soldering of Pin 17 (exposed pad) to the PCB ground plane for optimal thermal dissipation and noise performance.
Does the LTC2376-18 require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2376-18 integrates an internal conversion clock, eliminating the need for an external timing source. Its fixed conversion time of 1.9–3µs is self-contained, reducing system complexity and PCB area. External clocks are not supported - timing is fully autonomous, and the BUSY signal provides precise conversion completion indication for host synchronization.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the H-grade LTC2376-18?
The H-grade LTC2376-18 is guaranteed to operate from –40°C to +125°C across all specified electrical parameters, including ±1.75LSB INL max, 102dB SNR, and 250ksps throughput. This qualification covers dynamic and dc specifications per the datasheet's "l" notation, making the LTC2376-18 suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole oil/gas, and industrial motor control applications.
