Product details
Overview
LTC2306IDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2-channel, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, operating at 500ksps sampling rate on a single 5V supply. It features fully differential sample-and-hold, software-selectable unipolar/bipolar input ranges (0V–4.096V or ±2.048V), and internal conversion clock - enabling high-accuracy data acquisition in battery-powered industrial sensors and isolated remote monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2306IDD#PBF datasheet, LTC2306IDD#PBF pinout, LTC2306IDD#PBF application, or LTC2306IDD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its guaranteed no-missing-codes performance, 72.8dB SINAD at 1kHz, 14µA auto-shutdown current at 1ksps, and compatibility with external references from 0.1V to 5.25V - all within a compact 10-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package rated for –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2306IDD#PBF implements a capacitive charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 2-channel analog multiplexer supporting both single-ended (CH0/GND, CH1/GND) and differential (CH0/CH1) configurations via 6-bit SPI command word. Its fully differential sample-and-hold reduces common-mode noise, while the internal conversion clock decouples timing from SCK frequency (up to 40MHz).
It supports separate output driver supply OVDD (2.7V–5.25V), enabling level-shifting to microcontrollers or FPGAs with lower I/O voltages. The device achieves 71dB minimum SINAD and –88dB typical THD over full temperature range, with channel-to-channel isolation of –109dB - critical for simultaneous sampling in motor control feedback loops.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 11 = GND). RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: SDO | Three-state serial data output | Outputs previous conversion result on falling edge of SCK; enabled only when CONVST is low - prevents bus contention in multi-device SPI systems. |
| Pin 2: CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge initiated; must return low within 40ns after conversion start/end - defines precise sampling instant for time-critical measurements. |
| Pin 3: VDD | Analog/digital core supply | 4.75V–5.25V operation; requires 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum bypass - ensures stable internal reference and DAC performance. |
| Pin 4: CH0 | Channel 0 analog input | Configurable as single-ended (vs GND) or differential (vs CH1); 55pF input capacitance in sample mode - dictates RC filter design for settling within 240ns acquisition window. |
| Pin 5: CH1 | Channel 1 analog input | Paired with CH0 for differential operation; matched unipolar full-scale error ≤ ±3LSB - enables accurate ratiometric measurements across channels. |
| Pin 6: VREF | External reference input | Accepts 0.1V–5.25V reference; 55pF input capacitance requires 10µF + 0.1µF decoupling - stabilizes reference against switching transients during conversion. |
| Pin 7: GND | Analog/digital ground | Common return for VDD, OVDD, VREF, and analog inputs; exposed pad (Pin 11) must be soldered to PCB ground plane - minimizes thermal resistance (θJA = 43°C/W) and noise coupling. |
| Pin 8: SDI | Serial data input | Latches 6-bit configuration word (S/D, O/S, UNI bits) on first 6 SCK rising edges - selects input mode, polarity, and range before next conversion begins. |
| Pin 9: SCK | Serial clock input | Supports up to 40MHz; timing independent of conversion clock - enables high-speed data reads without constraining system MCU clock domain. |
| Pin 10: OVDD | Output driver supply | 2.7V–5.25V logic-level supply for SDO/SDI; isolates digital I/O noise from analog section - permits interfacing with 3.3V or 5V controllers without level shifters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-shutdown scaling | Reduces supply current from 2.8mA (500ksps) to 14µA (1ksps) - eliminates need for external power gating in duty-cycled sensing nodes. |
| Software-configurable input modes | Single-ended (CH0/GND or CH1/GND) or differential (CH0/CH1) via SPI command - enables flexible signal routing without hardware changes. |
| Separate OVDD supply | Allows independent 2.7V–5.25V logic voltage for SDO/SDI - simplifies integration with mixed-voltage SoCs and FPGA I/O banks. |
| High channel isolation | –109dB channel-to-channel crosstalk at 1kHz - preserves signal integrity when measuring high-gain, low-level differential sensor outputs. |
| Low acquisition time | 240ns minimum tACQ - supports fast settling even with moderate source impedances (<1kΩ) and minimal external filtering. |

FAQ
What input configurations does the LTC2306IDD#PBF support?
The LTC2306IDD#PBF supports four analog input configurations via its 6-bit SPI command word: single-ended CH0 vs GND, single-ended CH1 vs GND, differential CH0 vs CH1 with CH0 positive, and differential CH0 vs CH1 with CH1 positive. Unipolar mode (0V–4.096V) is required for single-ended operation since inputs are referenced to GND; bipolar mode (±2.048V) is used for differential measurements. Each configuration is selected dynamically before each conversion.
How does the auto-shutdown feature work in the LTC2306IDD#PBF?
The LTC2306IDD#PBF automatically scales supply current based on sampling rate: 2.8mA at 500ksps, ~700µA at 10ksps, and 14µA at 1ksps. This occurs without external control - the internal circuitry detects conversion interval and powers down non-essential blocks during idle periods. No configuration register write is needed; behavior is inherent to the part's design and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Can the LTC2306IDD#PBF operate with a 3.3V OVDD while using a 5V VDD?
Yes, the LTC2306IDD#PBF supports independent supplies: VDD = 4.75V–5.25V for analog core and OVDD = 2.7V–5.25V for digital I/O. Using 5V VDD with 3.3V OVDD allows direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers or FPGAs without level-shifting components. SDO output swing will be referenced to OVDD, and SDI input thresholds remain compatible per VIH/VIL specs at 3.3V OVDD.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full 12-bit accuracy with the LTC2306IDD#PBF?
The LTC2306IDD#PBF specifies a minimum acquisition time (tACQ) of 240ns - the period from the 7th SCK rising edge to the next CONVST rising edge - during which the internal sample-and-hold capacitor must settle to 12-bit accuracy. This assumes proper analog input drive capability (≤1kΩ source impedance) and adequate decoupling. Longer acquisition times may be needed with higher source impedances or aggressive input filtering.
Does the LTC2306IDD#PBF require an external reference, or does it have an internal one?
The LTC2306IDD#PBF requires an external reference applied to the VREF pin; it has no internal reference. The VREF input accepts voltages from 0.1V to VDD (max 5.25V), with typical use cases including 4.096V (for 1mV/LSB unipolar scaling) or 2.048V (for 0.5mV/LSB bipolar scaling). Reference current draw is 230µA maximum at 500ksps, necessitating a low-noise, capacitive-load-stable reference IC such as the LT6660.
