Product details
Overview
LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, 16-bit, 2 Msps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with differential inputs, ±4 LSB typical INL, 81 dB SNR at 500 kHz, and integrated 4.096 V temperature-compensated reference. It operates from a single 3.3 V or 5 V supply, supports CMOS or LVDS serial interface, and targets high-speed data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and optical networking.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF pinout, LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF application, or LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, wide input common mode range (0 V to VDD), low-power nap/sleep modes (5 µW), and dual-channel simultaneous sampling with no cycle latency.
Technical Context
The LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF implements two independent SAR ADC cores sharing a common reference architecture and digital interface. Each channel features a fully differential input stage with 8 VP-P full-scale range, 85 dB CMRR at 500 kHz, and aperture jitter of 1 psRMS, enabling high-fidelity signal capture in noisy environments.
Its SPI-compatible serial interface supports both CMOS (1.8 V–2.5 V I/O) and LVDS modes, with skew-matched CLKOUT outputs for deterministic timing. The internal 4.096 V reference exhibits ≤20 ppm/°C drift and is buffered on REFOUT1 and REFOUT2 pins, each with dedicated return (REFRTN1/REFRTN2) and bypass (VBYP1/VBYP2) terminals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead (4 mm × 5 mm) plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 29 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1, 8) | Core analog supply | Accepts 3.3 V or 5 V; must be bypassed with 10 µF + 0.1 µF ceramics close to each pin for stable conversion performance. |
| AIN1+, AIN1– (Pins 7, 6) | Differential analog input channel 1 | Supports ±4.096 V differential swing with 0 V to VDD common mode range; no configuration required for unipolar/bipolar signals. |
| AIN2+, AIN2– (Pins 2, 3) | Differential analog input channel 2 | Independent second channel with identical specs; enables true simultaneous sampling for phase-sensitive applications. |
| CNV (Pin 9) | Conversion start trigger | Falling edge initiates acquisition-to-conversion sequence; requires low-jitter source for <500 ps aperture matching between channels. |
| REFOUT1, REFOUT2 (Pins 12, 26) | Buffered reference outputs | Nominally 4.096 V; each referenced to its own return (REFRTN1/REFRTN2); disable via REFINT = GND for external reference use. |
| SCK+, SCK– (Pins 21, 22) | Serial clock input | Differential LVDS or single-ended CMOS clock input; supports up to 64 MHz SCK frequency for fast readout. |
| SDO1+, SDO1– / SDO2+, SDO2– (Pins 15–16, 19–20) | Channel 1 & 2 serial data outputs | MSB-first output synchronized to SCK falling edge; LVDS mode requires 100 Ω differential termination at receiver. |
| CLKOUT+, CLKOUT– (Pins 17–18) | Skew-matched output clock | Provides latch timing aligned to SDO edges; eliminates setup/hold uncertainty in FPGA/CPLD interfacing. |
| CMOS/LVDS (Pin 25) | I/O interface mode select | GND = CMOS; OVDD = LVDS; floating = low-power LVDS - configures driver strength and power consumption. |
| REFINT (Pin 28) | Internal reference enable | Tie to VDD to activate internal buffers; tie to GND to disable REFOUT1/REFOUT2 and allow external reference injection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual simultaneous sampling | Enables phase-coherent acquisition across two channels without inter-channel delay skew-critical for motor current sensing and I/Q demodulation. |
| No cycle latency | Delivers first valid conversion result immediately after CNV falling edge, eliminating pipeline delay and simplifying real-time control loop timing. |
| Wide input common mode range (0 V to VDD) | Allows direct connection to sensors or op-amp outputs without level-shifting circuitry, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Integrated 4.096 V reference with ≤20 ppm/°C drift | Eliminates need for external precision reference IC and associated compensation components, improving system accuracy and long-term stability. |
| Nap and sleep modes (5 µW) | Reduces idle power by >6000× versus active mode, extending battery life in portable data loggers and remote sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF?
The LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 2 Msps per channel. This is specified over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and applies to both channels independently. At this rate, the device achieves 81 dB SNR and ±4 LSB INL while dissipating 31 mW per channel under typical conditions.
Does the LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF includes an onboard low-drift (≤20 ppm/°C) 4.096 V temperature-compensated reference buffer on both REFOUT1 and REFOUT2 pins. The internal reference can be disabled by grounding REFINT (Pin 28), allowing use of an external reference from 1.25 V to VDD if higher accuracy or different voltage scaling is needed.
How does the LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF handle simultaneous sampling across both channels?
The LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF performs true simultaneous sampling using independent sample-and-hold circuits for each channel. A single CNV falling edge triggers acquisition on both AIN1 and AIN2 inputs at the same instant, with aperture delay matching specified at ≤500 ps-enabling accurate phase relationship preservation in applications like motor current sensing and I/Q signal processing.
What digital interface options does the LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF support?
The LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF supports both CMOS and LVDS serial interfaces. Interface mode is selected via the CMOS/LVDS pin (Pin 25): grounded for CMOS (1.8 V–2.5 V logic), tied to OVDD for standard LVDS, or left floating for low-power LVDS. The device provides skew-matched CLKOUT outputs to simplify timing-critical FPGA interfacing in either mode.
What power-saving modes are available on the LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF?
The LTC2321IUFD-16#PBF offers Nap Mode (2.55 mA typical) and Sleep Mode (1 µA typical), both accessible via control of the CNV and interface lines. In Sleep Mode, total supply current drops to 5 µW, making it suitable for battery-powered remote sensors or intermittent-monitoring systems where ultra-low quiescent power is essential between acquisition bursts.
