Product details
Overview
LTC2327HMS-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 500ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pseudo-differential inputs and true bipolar ±10.24V input range. It features 95dB SNR, ±5LSB INL max, no missing codes at 18 bits, and operates from a single 5V supply. It is used in high-speed industrial data acquisition systems requiring wide dynamic range and precision at extended temperature.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2327HMS-18#PBF pinout, LTC2327HMS-18#PBF application, or LTC2327HMS-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation to 125°C, internal 2.048V reference with 20ppm/°C drift, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface, and nap/sleep power management for embedded instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LTC2327HMS-18#PBF implements a charge redistribution capacitor DAC architecture with internal oscillator timing, eliminating external clock dependencies. Its pseudo-differential input stage uses resistor divider networks and clamping diodes to support ±10.24V true bipolar operation while rejecting common-mode noise up to 66dB at 250kHz.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV, with zero cycle latency and no pipeline delay. The 18-bit 2's complement output is serialized via SPI-compatible interface supporting 1.8V–5V I/O levels, daisy-chain mode, and BUSY-synchronized readout - all while maintaining full 500ksps throughput and guaranteed 18-bit monotonicity across –40°C to 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit - delivers 262,144 distinct output codes with guaranteed no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth without undersampling. |
| Input Range | ±10.24V true bipolar - supports direct interfacing with industrial ±10V sensor outputs without external level-shifting. |
| SNR | 95dB (typ) at fIN = 2kHz - ensures >15.8 effective number of bits (ENOB) for high-fidelity signal digitization. |
| INL | ±5LSB (max) - limits integral nonlinearity error to <0.0076% of full scale, critical for calibration-critical applications. |
| Reference | Internal 2.048V bandgap + 2× buffer (4.096V) - provides stable, low-drift reference with 20ppm/°C max TC over –40°C to 125°C. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay, zero cycle latency | Enables immediate post-conversion readout and deterministic real-time control loop response without FIFO buffering. |
| Onboard single-shot capable reference buffer | Eliminates need for external op-amp buffer; supports both internal reference use and external overdrive modes with seamless range scaling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-18 | 18-bit, 1MSPS, ±10V input, integrated analog front-end (AFE) with PGA and anti-alias filter; requires dual ±15V supplies for full range. | Better suited for multi-channel simultaneous sampling systems with built-in oversampling and digital filtering; higher power (120mW). | Select when simultaneous sampling across ≥2 channels and on-chip filtering are required; avoid if single-supply 5V operation is mandatory. |
| ADS8860 | 16-bit, 1MSPS, ±5V input, no internal reference, external VREF required; lower SNR (91dB), smaller 3mm × 3mm QFN package. | Targeted at space-constrained, cost-sensitive designs where 16-bit resolution suffices and external reference design is acceptable. | Select for compact, high-speed applications with relaxed linearity (±1.5LSB INL) and no requirement for true ±10.24V input range. |
Compared with AD7606C-18 and ADS8860, the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF uniquely combines single 5V supply operation, ±10.24V true bipolar input, internal reference + buffer, and guaranteed 125°C operation - making it optimal for ruggedized industrial DAQ where supply simplicity and temperature robustness are prioritized over simultaneous sampling or ultra-high speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2327HMS-18#PBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C (H-grade), with full electrical specifications guaranteed across this range. Absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and thermal resistance θJA is 110°C/W in the 16-lead MSOP package. This makes LTC2327HMS-18#PBF suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole, and furnace-mounted instrumentation where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.048V internal bandgap reference and a 2× gain reference buffer delivering 4.096V at REFBUF. This enables full ±10.24V input range operation with no external components. However, REFIN accepts 1.25V–2.4V external references for improved accuracy, and REFBUF can be overdriven (2.5V–5V) to scale input range to ±6.25V or ±12.5V - all supported in the same LTC2327HMS-18#PBF device.
How does the nap mode function in the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2327HMS-18#PBF automatically enters nap mode between conversions when not actively sampling, reducing supply current from 18.6mA (typ) to ~0.1mA. Power dissipation scales linearly with sampling rate - e.g., ~18mW at 250ksps and 36mW at 500ksps. A dedicated sleep mode further reduces current to 300μW for extended idle periods, controlled via CNV timing. This behavior is inherent to LTC2327HMS-18#PBF and requires no software configuration.
Can the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic levels on its digital interface (OVDD pin). When OVDD = 1.8V, all digital inputs (CNV, CHAIN, RDL/SDI, SCK) recognize 0.36V/1.44V thresholds, and outputs (SDO, BUSY) drive to 1.6V/0.2V levels - fully compatible with 1.8V MCU GPIOs. No level-shifting circuitry is needed, simplifying host interface design for the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF.
What is the significance of "pseudo-differential" input in the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2327HMS-18#PBF uses pseudo-differential inputs: IN+ carries the signal, while IN– serves as a dedicated ground-sense node (±500mV range), not a true complementary signal. This architecture rejects common-mode noise on the signal path and enables remote ground sensing to eliminate ground loop errors. It differs from fully differential inputs but provides superior noise immunity over single-ended topologies - a key design feature of the LTC2327HMS-18#PBF for industrial environments.
