Product details
Overview
LTC2308CUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-noise, 500ksps, 8-channel, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with integrated 2.5V reference, 8-channel analog multiplexer, and SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 5V supply, draws 3.5mA at full rate, supports unipolar (0–4.096V) or bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges, and is packaged in a 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN for space-constrained data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2308CUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2308CUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC2308CUF#TRPBF application, or LTC2308CUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no missing codes, 73.3dB SINAD at 1kHz, auto-shutdown scaling (3.5mA → 200µA), internal conversion clock (1.3µs typ), and software-selectable input configuration across eight channels.
Technical Context
The LTC2308CUF#TRPBF implements a capacitive charge-redistribution SAR architecture with fully differential sample-and-hold, enabling high common-mode noise rejection. Its internal 2.5V bandgap reference is factory-trimmed (±0.3% initial accuracy) and buffered to 4.096V at REFCOMP, supporting both internal and external reference operation.
Control is executed via a 6-bit SPI-configurable DIN word that selects channel (CH0–CH7), input mode (single-ended/differential), polarity (unipolar/bipolar), and sleep state. Conversion timing is fully self-contained: 240ns acquisition + 1.3µs conversion yields guaranteed 500ksps throughput without external clock dependency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and deterministic full-scale linearity in closed-loop control. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps maximum - supports real-time monitoring of motor currents, vibration signals, and sensor arrays up to ~250kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SINAD | 73.3dB at fIN = 1kHz - delivers >12-bit effective resolution for precision instrumentation and industrial process control. |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA at 500ksps; 200µA at 1ksps - auto-shutdown enables battery life extension in portable test equipment without firmware intervention. |
| Input Range | Software-selectable: 0–4.096V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar) - eliminates external level-shifting circuitry for mixed-signal sensor interfaces. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5V ±25ppm/°C tempco, buffered to 4.096V - reduces BOM count and PCB area versus discrete reference + amplifier solutions. |
| Package | 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN with exposed pad - provides thermal performance (θJA = 37°C/W) and layout compactness for high-density embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead (4mm × 4mm) plastic QFN (UF package) with exposed pad (Pin 25) soldered to ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 (Pins 22,23,24,1,2,3,4,5) | Analog input channels | Configurable as eight single-ended inputs referenced to COM or four differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, etc.) - enables flexible sensor interfacing without external MUX. |
| COM (Pin 6) | Common-mode reference | Ground reference for unipolar mode; midpoint (REFCOMP/2) for bipolar mode - defines input common-mode voltage and must be low-noise. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.5V internal reference output | Factory-trimmed bandgap source; bypassed with 2.2µF capacitor - can be overdriven by external 2.5V reference for improved accuracy/stability. |
| REFCOMP (Pin 8) | 4.096V reference buffer output | Gained version of VREF; bypassed with 10µF + 0.1µF - sets full-scale input range and may be overdriven externally (with VREF grounded). |
| CONVST (Pin 14) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge initiated; must return low within 40ns after conversion start/end - controls power state and enables precise timing synchronization. |
| SDI (Pin 15) | Serial data input | Latches 6-bit configuration word (S/D, O/S, S1, S0, UNI, SLP) on first six SCK rising edges - programs channel, polarity, and sleep mode before each conversion. |
| SCK (Pin 16) | Serial clock input | Drives SPI interface up to 40MHz - decouples serial timing from conversion timing, simplifying isolation and FPGA interfacing. |
| SDO (Pin 17) | Serial data output | Shifts out 12-bit result (2's complement or straight binary) on SCK falling edges - supports daisy-chaining and multi-device readout. |
| AVDD / DVDD / OVDD (Pins 12,13,21,19) | Supply rails | Separate analog (4.75–5.25V), digital (4.75–5.25V), and output driver (2.7–5.25V) supplies - enables noise isolation and I/O voltage translation to host logic. |
| GND (Pins 9,10,11,18,20,25) | Ground terminals | Six dedicated GND pins including exposed pad - mandates solid ground plane connection to minimize PSRR degradation and EMI susceptibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 8-channel analog multiplexer | Reduces external component count and board area; supports per-conversion reconfiguration of input topology (single-ended/differential). |
| Internal conversion clock | Eliminates need for external timing components; guarantees 500ksps throughput with 1.3µs conversion time and 240ns acquisition window. |
| Auto-shutdown current scaling | Dynamic power reduction from 3.5mA (500ksps) to 200µA (1ksps) - extends runtime in battery-powered data loggers without software overhead. |
| Software-selectable unipolar/bipolar mode | Single-bit (UNI) control enables seamless adaptation to AC-coupled sensors (e.g., accelerometers) or DC-coupled transducers (e.g., RTDs). |
| Separate OVDD supply rail | Allows SDO output voltage to match host logic (2.7–5.25V), enabling direct interface to 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Guaranteed no missing codes | Ensures monotonic transfer function critical for position feedback, closed-loop servo control, and safety-critical monitoring applications. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2308CUF#TRPBF?
The LTC2308CUF#TRPBF is specified for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. This grade is validated for use in non-automotive industrial environments, laboratory instruments, and consumer-grade data acquisition systems where ambient conditions remain within this envelope. The 'C' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this temperature grade, distinct from the industrial-grade LTC2308IUF#TRPBF (–40°C to 85°C).
Does the LTC2308CUF#TRPBF require an external reference, or does it include one?
The LTC2308CUF#TRPBF includes a fully integrated, factory-trimmed 2.5V bandgap reference with ±25ppm/°C tempco, buffered to 4.096V at the REFCOMP pin. No external reference is required for standard operation. However, VREF and REFCOMP support overdriving with external references (e.g., LT1790A-2.5 or LT1790A-4.096) to improve accuracy, drift, or noise performance when system-level requirements exceed internal reference specifications.
How does the auto-shutdown feature of the LTC2308CUF#TRPBF reduce power consumption?
The LTC2308CUF#TRPBF auto-shutdown feature dynamically scales supply current with sample rate: it draws 3.5mA at 500ksps, drops to 180µA in nap mode, and further reduces to 200µA at 1ksps. This occurs automatically based on CONVST timing - no register writes or firmware intervention needed. The LTC2308CUF#TRPBF achieves this via internal clock gating and bias current adjustment, making it ideal for intermittent-sampling applications like portable data loggers.
Can the LTC2308CUF#TRPBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC2308CUF#TRPBF supports direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers via its separate OVDD supply pin (Pin 19), which accepts 2.7V to 5.25V. By tying OVDD to 3.3V and using appropriate bypassing (0.1µF ceramic), the SDO output swings between 0V and 3.3V, matching standard 3.3V logic levels. AVDD and DVDD remain at 5V for optimal analog performance and noise immunity.
What is the significance of the 'TRPBF' suffix in LTC2308CUF#TRPBF?
The 'TRPBF' suffix in LTC2308CUF#TRPBF indicates a tape-and-reel packaging format (TR) with lead-free (Pb-free) finish (PBF) and RoHS-compliant termination. The 'U' in UCF denotes the 24-lead 4mm × 4mm QFN package (UF), while 'C' specifies the 0°C to 70°C temperature grade. This ordering option is optimized for automated SMT assembly and meets environmental compliance requirements for commercial electronics manufacturing.
