For engineers reviewing the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF pinout, LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF application, or LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes operation, CMOS/LVDS serial interface configurability, 0°C to 70°C industrial temperature grade, and 16-lead MSOP package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF implements a single-supply SAR architecture with one-cycle latency and internal sample-and-hold. Its differential input stage supports 8 VP-P full-scale range with 85 dB common-mode rejection at 2.2 MHz and 100 MHz –3 dB input bandwidth.
It integrates a low-drift (≤20 ppm/°C) 4.096 V reference buffer and configurable I/O interface: CMOS mode (OVDD = 1.8 V or 2.5 V), LVDS mode (100 Ω termination), or low-power LVDS - all compatible with SPI timing and supporting up to 105 MHz SCK.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4 mm × 5 mm) plastic MSOP with exposed ground pad (Pin 17), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 5, 8, 11) | Analog/digital ground reference | Must be connected directly to solid ground plane; multiple pins reduce ground impedance and improve noise immunity. |
| REFIN (Pin 2) | 1.25 V buffered reference I/O | Outputs 1.25 V by default; grounding disables REFOUT buffer to allow external reference injection into REFOUT. |
| REFOUT (Pin 3) | 4.096 V temperature-compensated reference output | Provides stable internal reference; requires 10 µF ceramic decoupling; short-circuit current ≥30 mA. |
| VDD (Pin 4) | Analog power supply | Accepts 4.75–5.25 V (5 V operation) or 3.13–3.47 V (3.3 V operation); bypass with 1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| AIN+, AIN– (Pins 6, 7) | Differential analog input terminals | Support 8 VP-P full-scale swing; input capacitance 10 pF; common-mode range 0 V to VDD; ESD clamped. |
| CNV (Pin 9) | Convert initiation input | TTL-compatible; falling edge triggers conversion and initiates readout; one-cycle latency; low-jitter requirement. |
| CMOS/LVDS (Pin 10) | I/O interface mode select | Ground = CMOS; tie to OVDD = LVDS; float = low-power LVDS - determines SDO/SCK signaling standard. |
| OVDD (Pin 12) | Digital I/O power supply | 1.71–2.63 V range; powers SDO/SCK logic; must match host interface voltage (e.g., FPGA I/O bank). |
| SDO+ (Pin 14) | Serial data output (CMOS mode) | MSB-first, falling-edge clocked; outputs 16-bit two's complement code; logic level referenced to OVDD. |
| SCK+ (Pin 16) | Serial clock input (CMOS mode) | Falling edge clocks data; supports up to 105 MHz; requires 1.8 V or 2.5 V logic levels per OVDD setting. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 17) | Thermal and electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJA = 40 °C/W) and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode serial interface | Configurable CMOS or LVDS I/O via Pin 10 - enables interoperability with both FPGA CMOS banks and high-noise-immunity LVDS receivers. |
| Integrated reference system | On-chip 4.096 V ±0.3% reference with 20 ppm/°C max drift and 1.25 V buffered REFIN - removes need for external reference IC and simplifies layout. |
| Wide input common-mode range | 0 V to VDD on AIN+/AIN– - accommodates direct connection of op-amp outputs, sensor bridges, or transformer-coupled signals without level-shifting. |
| Low-power operational modes | Nap (3.5 mA) and sleep (0.5 µW at 5 V) - allows rapid wake-up while minimizing idle power in intermittent-sampling applications. |
| High dynamic performance | 81.6 dB SNR and –90 dB THD at 2.2 MHz - meets requirements for ultrasound imaging, software-defined radio, and high-fidelity test equipment. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF?
The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). This is confirmed by the "C" suffix in the part number and the order information table specifying "0°C to 70°C" for the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF variant. It uses the same 16-lead MSOP package as the I-grade (–40°C to 85°C) and H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) versions but is tested and guaranteed only across the commercial range. The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF maintains full specification compliance - including ±8 LSB INL and 81 dB SNR - within this range.
Does the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a low-drift (≤20 ppm/°C) 4.096 V temperature-compensated reference buffer on die, accessible at REFOUT (Pin 3). An optional 1.25 V buffered reference is also available at REFIN (Pin 2). External reference use is optional: grounding REFIN disables the internal REFOUT buffer, allowing an external source (1.25 V to VDD) to drive REFOUT directly. The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF achieves its specified 81.6 dB SNR and ±3 LSB INL using the internal reference.
How is the serial interface mode selected on the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF?
The serial interface mode on the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF is selected via the CMOS/LVDS pin (Pin 10). Grounding Pin 10 configures CMOS mode (single-ended SDO+/SCK+). Tying Pin 10 to OVDD selects LVDS mode (differential SDO+/SDO– and SCK+/SCK–). Leaving Pin 10 floating enables low-power LVDS mode. All modes use SPI-compatible timing with MSB-first, falling-edge clocked data transfer. The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF supports up to 105 MHz SCK in CMOS mode and requires 100 Ω differential termination in LVDS modes.
What power-saving modes does the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF support?
The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF supports two low-power states: Nap mode (3.5 mA typical at 5 V) entered after conversion completion, and Sleep mode (0.5 µW typical at 5 V) for deep power-down. Both modes retain register settings and reference state. Wake-up from Sleep mode requires ~10 ms for REFOUT stabilization (tWAKE). The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF transitions automatically between active, nap, and sleep based on CNV activity and internal timing - enabling energy-efficient operation in burst-mode or event-triggered sampling systems.
Can the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF accept single-ended input signals?
Yes, the LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF can digitize single-ended signals using pseudo-differential configurations. Connecting the signal to AIN+ and a clean reference (e.g., ground or VREF/2) to AIN– leverages the ADC's high CMRR (85 dB at 2.2 MHz) for noise rejection. The LTC2311CMSE-16#PBF requires no configuration changes - its wide common-mode range (0 V to VDD) and differential architecture inherently support unipolar, bipolar, and fully differential inputs. Valid output codes are generated even if the input exceeds ±REFOUT/2, though clamping may be needed externally.
