Product details
Overview
LTC2327CMS-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 500ksps 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, delivers 93.5dB SNR and ±1.5LSB INL (max), and integrates a low-drift 2.048V reference with onboard buffer-making it suitable for high-voltage industrial data acquisition requiring wide dynamic range and DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2327CMS-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2327CMS-16#PBF pinout, LTC2327CMS-16#PBF application, or LTC2327CMS-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 16-bit no-missing-codes operation across 0°C to 70°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2327CMS-16#PBF implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator, sampling the attenuated/level-shifted pseudo-differential input (IN+, IN–) during acquisition and performing binary-weighted voltage comparisons against VREFBUF/2n during conversion. Its internal oscillator eliminates external timing dependencies, and the acquisition-conversion-hold sequence ensures zero pipeline delay.
It supports three reference configurations: internal 2.048V bandgap + 2× buffer (±10.24V range), externally overdriven REFIN (1.25V–2.4V, yielding ±6.25V to ±12V), or externally overdriven REFBUF (2.5V–5V, yielding ±6.25V to ±12.5V). The 7MHz –3dB input linear bandwidth and 4psRMS aperture jitter enable high-fidelity signal capture up to Nyquist.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm, 0.5mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, rated for 0°C to 70°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDLBYP (1) | 2.5V LDO bypass | Internal regulator output; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable 2.5V analog rail. |
| VDD (2) | 5V analog supply | Main power input (4.75–5.25V); bypass with 10µF ceramic capacitor to minimize switching noise. |
| GND (3,6,16) | Analog/digital ground | Three dedicated ground pins reduce ground bounce and improve PSRR in mixed-signal layouts. |
| IN+ (4) | Pseudo-differential analog input (+) | Accepts ±10.24V relative to IN–; input impedance ~2kΩ; drives resistor divider network into CDAC. |
| IN– (5) | Pseudo-differential analog input (–) | Common-mode sense node; ±500mV range w.r.t. GND; must be tied to remote ground or system GND plane. |
| REFBUF (7) | Reference buffer output | Nominally 4.096V (2× REFIN); decoupled with 47µF ceramic cap; can be overdriven 2.5–5V for extended input ranges. |
| REFIN (8) | Internal reference output / external reference input | 2.048V bandgap output (bypass with 100nF); accepts 1.25–2.4V external reference for improved accuracy. |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger | Rising-edge initiated conversion; powers up ADC core and starts acquisition phase; logic referenced to OVDD. |
| CHAIN (10) | Daisy-chain mode select | High = chain mode (RDL/SDI becomes SDI); low = normal mode (RDL/SDI enables SDO bus). |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output signaling conversion in progress; synchronized to CNV edge. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Bus enable / serial data input | Mode-dependent: in normal mode, controls SDO tri-state; in chain mode, receives serial data from upstream ADC. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Drives SPI interface; supports up to 100MHz (10ns period); rising-edge data capture for MSB-first transfer. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | 2's complement 16-bit result; active only when enabled by RDL (normal mode) or chained (chain mode). |
| OVDD (15) | I/O digital supply | 1.71–5.25V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No cycle latency | Delivers first valid conversion result immediately after CNV rising edge-critical for deterministic real-time control loops. |
| Onboard reference buffer | Single-shot capable 2× gain buffer eliminates external op-amp and reduces BOM count in space-constrained systems. |
| True bipolar input range | ±10.24V range matches standard industrial sensor outputs (e.g., ±10V transducers), avoiding external level-shifting circuitry. |
| Automatic nap mode | Reduces current draw between conversions-power scales linearly with sample rate, enabling ultra-low average power in burst-mode operation. |
| Daisy-chain SPI interface | Enables synchronous multi-channel acquisition using single SCK/SCK and minimal GPIOs-ideal for modular DAQ systems. |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C (H-grade variant) | While LTC2327CMS-16#PBF is C-grade (0°C–70°C), same die supports extended temp; design reuse possible across product families. |

Yes, the LTC2327CMS-16#PBF supports OVDD from 1.71V to 5.25V, including 3.3V logic levels. VIH is defined as 0.8 × OVDD and VIL as 0.2 × OVDD, ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters.
How does the nap mode function in the LTC2327CMS-16#PBF?
The LTC2327CMS-16#PBF automatically enters nap mode between conversions, reducing IVDD + IOVDD current from 18.6mA (active) to ~0.1mA. Power dissipation scales linearly with sample rate-e.g., at 100ksps, typical power drops to ~7mW-making it ideal for burst-mode or event-triggered acquisition.
Is the LTC2327CMS-16#PBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LTC232x family?
Yes, the LTC2327CMS-16#PBF shares identical 16-lead MSOP pinout and reference architecture with LTC2326 (250ksps) and LTC2328 (1Msps) variants. Firmware and PCB layout are reusable across the family, enabling scalable performance upgrades without hardware redesign.
