Product details
Overview
LTC2326CMS-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pseudo-differential inputs and true bipolar ±10.24V input range. It operates from a single 5V supply, integrates a 2.048V low-drift reference and reference buffer, achieves ±1.5LSB INL max and 93.5dB SNR, and targets high-voltage industrial data acquisition systems requiring wide dynamic range and precision.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2326CMS-16#PBF pinout, LTC2326CMS-16#PBF application, or LTC2326CMS-16#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-cycle-latency SPI interface, daisy-chain capability, internal conversion clock, 16-lead MSOP package, and guaranteed operation up to 125°C in H-grade variants.
Technical Context
The LTC2326CMS-16#PBF implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator. Its pseudo-differential input stage uses resistor divider networks to level-shift ±10.24V signals to the 0–4.096V core ADC range, achieving 7MHz –3dB input linear bandwidth and 4psRMS aperture jitter.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV; an internal oscillator eliminates external timing dependencies. The device supports three reference configurations: internal 2.048V reference + 2× buffer (±10.24V range), externally overdriven REFIN (e.g., 1.25V → ±6.25V), or externally overdriven REFBUF (e.g., 5V → ±12.5V), all with programmable OVDD logic levels from 1.71V to 5.25V.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF?
The LTC2326CMS-16#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 250ksps with no cycle latency. At this rate, conversion time is 3µs, acquisition time is 3.46µs, and minimum time between conversions is 4µs. This fixed timing is governed by an internal oscillator, eliminating dependency on external clock sources for basic operation.
Does the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.048V bandgap reference with ≤20ppm/°C drift and a single-shot capable 2× reference buffer delivering 4.096V at REFBUF. This enables a standard ±10.24V input range with no external components. External references may be used optionally via REFIN or REFBUF pins for enhanced accuracy.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF?
In daisy-chain mode (CHAIN pin high), the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF accepts serial data on RDL/SDI and shifts its own 16-bit result out on SDO in sequence. Multiple devices are connected SDO→RDL/SDI, sharing one SCK and BUSY line. A single CNV pulse triggers simultaneous sampling, and results are read back in cascaded fashion-reducing host interface requirements for multi-channel systems.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF in active and sleep modes?
The LTC2326CMS-16#PBF consumes 28mW typical at 250ksps (VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V). In nap mode between conversions, power drops dynamically with sample rate. In sleep mode (CNV held low), total supply current falls to 300μA, reducing power to 0.3mW-ideal for intermittent measurement applications where ultra-low standby power is critical.
Is the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC232x family?
Yes, the LTC2326CMS-16#PBF shares identical pinout and package (16-lead MSOP) with LTC2325IMS-16#PBF (1Msps) and LTC2327IMS-16#PBF (500ksps). All support the same reference configurations, SPI interface, and daisy-chain functionality. Firmware and layout are directly reusable across these variants, enabling performance-scaling without hardware redesign.
