Product details
Overview
LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit + sign successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with differential inputs, 5Msps throughput, ±0.25LSB typical INL, 73dB SNR at 2.2MHz, and integrated 4.096V temperature-compensated reference. It operates from a single 3.3V or 5V supply and delivers 8VP-P differential input range with wide common-mode support - ideal for high-dynamic-range data acquisition in industrial sensing and optical networking.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF datasheet, LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF pinout, LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF application, or LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes performance, CMOS/LVDS configurable serial interface, one-cycle latency, –40°C to 125°C operation (C-grade variant specified here is 0°C to 70°C), and internal reference stability of ≤20ppm/°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF implements a 13-bit SAR architecture with two-phase operation: acquisition (sample capacitor connected to AIN+/AIN–) followed by conversion using a binary-weighted CDAC and differential comparator. Its transfer function outputs 13-bit two's complement codes spanning ±REFOUT, delivering true 12-bit resolution with sign bit.
It supports three I/O modes via the CMOS/LVDS pin: CMOS (single-ended SDO+/SCK+), LVDS (differential SDO±/SCK± with 100Ω termination), and low-power LVDS. Reference configuration includes internal 4.096V buffer (REFOUT), external 1.25V buffered reference input (REFIN), and option to disable internal buffer for external reference drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit + sign (13-bit two's complement output); enables bipolar signal digitization without external level-shifting. |
| Sampling Rate | 5Msps maximum; supports real-time capture of signals up to 2.2MHz Nyquist bandwidth with 73dB SNR. |
| INL | ±0.25LSB typical, ±1LSB guaranteed; ensures monotonicity and accurate amplitude fidelity across full scale. |
| Differential Input Range | ±4.096V (8VP-P) with REFOUT = 4.096V; provides wide dynamic range while maintaining high CMRR (85dB). |
| Power Dissipation | 50mW at VDD = 5V, 5Msps; reduced to 12mW in nap mode and 0.5µW in sleep mode for power-constrained systems. |
| Reference | Internal 4.096V ±0.3% (20ppm/°C max drift); eliminates need for external precision reference in most applications. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C (C-grade); validated for commercial and industrial control environments with stable timing and accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (4mm × 5mm), exposed pad (Pin 17) soldered to ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 5, 8, 11) | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve noise immunity in high-speed sampling. |
| REFIN (Pin 2) | Reference buffer input/output | Provides 1.25V buffered output; grounding disables REFOUT buffer to allow external reference injection. |
| REFOUT (Pin 3) | Internal reference output | Delivers 4.096V ±0.3% reference; requires 10µF ceramic decoupling for optimal SNR performance. |
| VDD (Pin 4) | Analog power supply | Accepts 3.13V–5.25V; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to suppress supply noise coupling into ADC core. |
| AIN+, AIN– (Pins 6, 7) | Differential analog inputs | Support ±REFOUT full-scale range with 0V–VDD common-mode; modeled as 15Ω RON + 10pF CIN during acquisition. |
| CNV (Pin 9) | Convert trigger input | TTL-compatible; falling edge initiates conversion and readout; one-cycle latency enables deterministic timing. |
| CMOS/LVDS (Pin 10) | I/O interface mode select | Ground = CMOS; tie to OVDD = LVDS; float = low-power LVDS - configures SDO/SCK signaling without re-layout. |
| OVDD (Pin 12) | Digital I/O supply | 1.71V–2.5V range; sets logic levels for SDO/SCK; decoupled with 1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| SDO+ (Pin 14) | Serial data output (CMOS) | MSB-first output on SCK falling edge; active only in CMOS mode; logic level referenced to OVDD. |
| SCK+ (Pin 16) | Serial clock input (CMOS) | Single-ended clock input; supports up to 105MHz SCK frequency; defines sampling edge for data capture. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable CMOS/LVDS interface | Single-pin mode selection enables interoperability with FPGA/CPLD I/O standards without hardware change. |
| Onboard 4.096V reference buffer | 20ppm/°C max drift and 0.3mV/V line regulation eliminate external reference cost and board space. |
| One-cycle latency | Enables deterministic real-time control loops with minimal pipeline delay between sample and result availability. |
| Three power states (active/nap/sleep) | Reduces average system power by >99% during idle periods while retaining fast wake-up (<10ms REFOUT stabilization). |
| Guaranteed no missing codes | Ensures monotonic response across full 12-bit range - critical for closed-loop feedback and position-sensing applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7980BRMZ | 16-bit, 1Msps, SPI-only (no LVDS), external reference required, 7.5mW @ 1Msps | Better resolution but lower speed; suited for precision DC/low-frequency measurements, not RF or fast transient capture | Select when 16-bit resolution outweighs 5× speed requirement and LVDS interface is unnecessary |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1Msps, pseudo-differential only, no internal reference, 3.3V supply only, 2.5mW | Lacks true differential input and internal reference; requires external op-amp front-end and reference IC | Choose for ultra-low-power, lower-resolution applications where board area and BOM simplicity are secondary to power budget |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF?
The LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C (commercial grade). This is confirmed by the "C" suffix in the part number and the order information table listing "0°C to 70°C" for all variants with "CMSE" packaging. The device maintains full specification compliance-including ±1LSB INL and 73dB SNR-across this range.
Does LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF includes an onboard 4.096V temperature-compensated reference buffer (REFOUT) with ≤20ppm/°C drift. An external reference is optional via the REFIN pin, which can be grounded to disable the internal buffer and inject a custom reference voltage between 1.25V and VDD.
How does the CMOS/LVDS pin (Pin 10) configure the serial interface of LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF?
Pin 10 selects I/O mode: grounded → CMOS (single-ended SDO+/SCK+); tied to OVDD → LVDS (differential SDO±/SCK± with 100Ω termination); left floating → low-power LVDS. This hardware-selectable interface allows seamless integration with diverse host processors without firmware or layout changes.
What power-saving modes does LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF support, and how much current do they draw?
The LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF offers nap mode (2.4–3.5mA) and sleep mode (0.1–10µA at 3.3V, 0.5–30µW at 5V). Sleep mode reduces power by >99% versus active operation (12mA), with REFOUT wake-up time of 10ms - enabling rapid resumption of high-accuracy sampling after idle periods.
Is LTC2311CMSE-12#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2311 family?
Yes, all LTC2311-12 variants - including LTC2311IMSE-12#PBF (–40°C to 85°C) and LTC2311HMSE-12#PBF (–40°C to 125°C) - share identical 16-lead MSOP pinout and footprint. Only the temperature grade and part marking differ; no PCB redesign is needed when upgrading thermal performance.
