Product details
Overview
LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit + sign successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with differential inputs, 5Msps throughput, ±0.75LSB typical INL, 80dB SNR at 2.2MHz, and integrated 4.096V temperature-compensated reference - designed for high-speed data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and optical networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF pinout, LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF application, or LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (16-lead MSOP), confirmed CMOS/LVDS serial interface behavior, validated 8VP-P differential input range, and real-world timing constraints including 171.5ns conversion time and one-cycle latency.
Technical Context
The LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF implements a 15-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 referenced to REFOUT. It supports fully differential, pseudo-differential unipolar, and pseudo-differential bipolar input modes without configuration.
Its internal reference buffer delivers 4.096V (or 2.048V) with ≤20ppm/°C drift and includes REFIN input for external 1.25V reference injection. The CMOS/LVDS I/O mode select (Pin 10) enables hardware-configurable digital interface - grounded for CMOS, tied to OVDD for LVDS, or floating for low-power LVDS - with guaranteed 105MHz SCK support in CMOS mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit + sign (15-bit two's complement output); digitizes full-scale ±REFOUT into 32,768 codes with 250µV LSB when REFOUT = 4.096V. |
| Sampling Rate | 5Msps maximum; fixed one-cycle latency ensures deterministic timing for real-time control loops and FFT-based signal processing. |
| Differential Input Range | ±REFOUT (up to ±4.096V), yielding 8VP-P span - enables direct interfacing with wide-dynamic-range sensors without gain staging. |
| INL Error | ±0.75LSB typical, ±2LSB guaranteed over –40°C to 125°C - ensures monotonicity and accurate DC measurement in precision instrumentation. |
| SNR / THD | 80.6dB SNR and –90dB THD at fIN = 2.2MHz - meets requirements for high-fidelity RF sampling and baseband communications receivers. |
| Power Dissipation | 50mW at 5V/5Msps (CMOS mode); drops to 0.5µW in sleep mode - suitable for battery-backed or thermally constrained embedded systems. |
| Reference | Internal 4.096V (or 2.048V) buffered reference with 20ppm/°C max drift; REFIN accepts 1.25V external reference for system-level voltage calibration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic MSOP with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17, GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 5, 8, 11, 17) | Ground reference | All five GND pins plus exposed pad must connect directly to solid ground plane; critical for noise immunity and thermal dissipation. |
| REFIN (Pin 2) | Reference buffer I/O | Nominally outputs 1.25V; grounding disables REFOUT buffer to allow external reference injection into REFOUT pin. |
| REFOUT (Pin 3) | Reference buffer output | Provides 4.096V (or 2.048V) temperature-compensated reference; requires 10µF X5R ceramic decoupling at pin. |
| VDD (Pin 4) | Analog power supply | Accepts 3.13V–5.25V single supply; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for ADC core stability. |
| AIN+, AIN– (Pins 6, 7) | Differential analog inputs | Support 0V to VDD common-mode range and ±REFOUT differential swing; 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 means next sample starts immediately after data transfer. |
| CMOS/LVDS (Pin 10) | I/O interface mode select | Ground = CMOS; tie to OVDD = LVDS; float = low-power LVDS - configures SDO/SCK signaling and current consumption. |
| OVDD (Pin 12) | Digital I/O supply | 1.71V–2.5V range; sets logic levels for SDO/SCK; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor; powers LVDS drivers when enabled. |
| SDO+ (Pin 14) | Serial data output | MSB-first output on SCK falling edge; active in both CMOS and LVDS modes; SDO– used only in LVDS mode (Pin 13). |
| SCK+ (Pin 16) | Serial clock input | Falling-edge triggered; supports up to 105MHz in CMOS mode; SCK– (Pin 15) used only in LVDS mode for differential clock reception. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware-selectable CMOS/LVDS interface | Single-pin (Pin 10) configuration eliminates firmware dependency and enables board-level interface optimization for noise or power trade-offs. |
| Zero-configuration differential input modes | Automatically supports fully differential, pseudo-differential unipolar, and pseudo-differential bipolar signals - no register writes or mode pins required. |
| Integrated reference with external override | On-chip 4.096V reference reduces BOM count; REFIN pin allows system-level calibration via external 1.25V source without redesign. |
| One-cycle latency operation | Eliminates pipeline delay uncertainty - essential for closed-loop motor control and real-time spectral analysis where deterministic timing is mandatory. |
| Three power states (active/nap/sleep) | Reduces current from 12mA (active) to 3.5mA (nap) to 0.1µA (sleep) - enables adaptive power management in intermittent-sampling 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5Msps, external reference only; no integrated REFOUT; requires separate 5V analog and 2.5V digital supplies. | Better resolution for metrology; lacks on-chip reference and flexible input common-mode range - increases BOM and layout complexity. | Select when absolute accuracy >16-bit and external reference infrastructure already exists; avoid if simplifying supply design is priority. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1Msps, SPI-only CMOS interface; 2.5V supply only; no LVDS option; 1.8V–3.6V I/O compatible. | Lower power (12mW) and smaller QFN package; insufficient speed for 5Msps real-time FFT or optical IF sampling. | Select for portable test equipment needing ultra-low power and moderate speed; not suitable for 5Msps continuous streaming applications. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF?
The LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix in its part number. This distinguishes it from the "I" (–40°C to 85°C) and "H" (–40°C to 125°C) variants. All electrical specifications in the datasheet marked with "l" apply across this full range, including ±2LSB INL, 80dB SNR, and 5Msps throughput.
Does LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF require external reference components?
No - the LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF includes an onboard low-drift 4.096V (or 2.048V) temperature-compensated reference buffer. External decoupling (10µF X5R ceramic at REFOUT, 10µF at REFIN) is required, but no precision resistors, op-amps, or external references are needed unless overriding with the 1.25V REFIN path.
How does the CMOS/LVDS pin (Pin 10) affect LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF operation?
Pin 10 configures the digital interface: grounded enables CMOS mode (single-ended SDO/SCK, 1.8V–2.5V OVDD); tied to OVDD enables LVDS mode (differential SDO+/SDO– and SCK+/SCK–, 100Ω termination); floating enables low-power LVDS. This hardware-selectable feature avoids firmware dependencies and optimizes noise/power per system requirements.
Can LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF interface directly with FPGA GPIO banks running at 1.8V?
Yes - the LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF supports 1.8V to 2.5V I/O voltages via OVDD (Pin 12). When OVDD = 1.8V and Pin 10 is grounded, all digital outputs (SDO+, SCK+) swing between 0V and 1.8V, matching standard 1.8V FPGA I/O thresholds without level shifters.
What is the minimum acquisition time required before initiating conversion on LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF?
The guaranteed minimum acquisition time for LTC2311CMSE-14#PBF is 28.5ns (tACQ). This defines the shortest interval the CNV pulse must remain high before falling to start conversion. For reliable operation at 5Msps, the total cycle time (tCYC) must be ≥200ns, leaving ≥171.5ns for conversion and readout.
