Product details
Overview
LTC2327IMS-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 internal reference with onboard buffer-making it suitable for high-voltage industrial data acquisition requiring wide dynamic range and DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2327IMS-16#PBF pinout, LTC2327IMS-16#PBF application, or LTC2327IMS-16#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface supporting 1.8V–5V I/O, internal conversion clock eliminating external timing constraints, and thermal performance validated to 85°C ambient (I-grade).
Technical Context
The LTC2327IMS-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 (2kΩ total impedance per input) to level-shift ±2.5×VREFBUF signals into the ADC core's 0–VREFBUF range, enabling true bipolar operation without external signal conditioning.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV; the internal oscillator sets tCONV = 1.5µs with zero cycle latency. The device supports two operational modes: normal mode (RDL/SDI as bus enable) and chain mode (RDL/SDI as serial data input), both using SPI-compatible timing with tSCK ≥ 10ns (100MHz max SCK frequency).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees full-scale quantization with 65,536 discrete levels and no missing codes across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth with deterministic timing. |
| SNR | 93.5dB (typ) at fIN = 2kHz, ±10.24V range - corresponds to effective resolution >15.2 bits in high-fidelity measurement applications. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm, 0.5mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDLBYP (1) | 2.5V LDO bypass | Internally regulated supply for analog core; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for noise suppression. |
| VDD (2) | 5V analog power | Main supply (4.75–5.25V); bypass with 10µF ceramic capacitor to ensure stable sampling performance. |
| GND (3,6,16) | Analog/digital ground | Three dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| IN+ (4) | Pseudo-differential analog input (+) | Accepts ±10.24V true bipolar signal relative to IN–; input impedance modeled as 2kΩ + 45pF + 50Ω switch. |
| IN– (5) | Pseudo-differential analog input (–) | Common-mode sense node; limited to ±500mV range relative to GND; ties to remote ground or system AGND. |
| REFBUF (7) | Reference buffer output | Nominally 4.096V (2× VREFIN); decoupled with 47µF ceramic capacitor; can be overdriven externally (2.5–5V). |
| REFIN (8) | Internal reference output / external reference input | 2.048V bandgap output (bypass with 100nF); accepts external reference 1.25–2.4V for enhanced accuracy or drift performance. |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger input | Rising-edge–sensitive; powers up ADC and initiates conversion; logic levels referenced to OVDD. |
| CHAIN (10) | Mode select for daisy-chain operation | High = chain mode (RDL/SDI becomes SDI); Low = normal mode (RDL/SDI enables SDO tri-state). |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; asserts at CNV↑, deasserts when 16-bit result is ready for readout. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Bus enable (normal) / Serial data input (chain) | Configurable function controlled by CHAIN pin; determines whether SDO is enabled or receives upstream daisy-chain data. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Drives SPI interface; supports 100MHz max frequency (tSCK ≥ 10ns); rising edge clocks out MSB-first 2's complement data. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | Tri-state CMOS output; presents conversion result or daisy-chain data; logic levels referenced to OVDD. |
| OVDD (15) | I/O interface supply | Digital I/O voltage (1.71–5.25V); sets logic thresholds for CNV, CHAIN, BUSY, RDL/SDI, SCK, SDO; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay, zero cycle latency | Enables deterministic real-time control loops with immediate access to conversion results after BUSY deasserts. |
| Onboard single-shot capable reference buffer | Eliminates external op-amp buffering for REFBUF; supports fast wake-up (200ms) and stable settling for burst-mode acquisition. |
| True bipolar input ranges (±6.25V, ±10.24V, ±12.5V) | Configurable via REFIN/REFBUF overdrive - allows direct interfacing with industrial sensors (e.g., ±10V transducers) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Automatic nap mode between conversions | Reduces average power proportionally to sampling rate - e.g., 100ksps operation draws ~7.2mA instead of full 18.6mA. |
| SPI-compatible interface with daisy-chain mode | Enables multi-channel synchronous sampling with single SCK and CNV lines - reduces host GPIO count and timing complexity in DAQ systems. |
Applications
| Programmable Logic Controllers | Industrial Process Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5MSPS, external reference required; no integrated buffer; LVDS interface only. | Higher resolution/speed but demands precision external reference, driver, and FPGA-level interface support. | Select when >16-bit resolution and >1MSPS throughput are mandatory; avoid if board space, BOM count, or firmware complexity are constrained. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, single-supply (2.5–5V), no internal reference; SPI-only, no daisy-chain mode. | Lower power (15mW) but lacks bipolar input capability and integrated reference - requires external ±10V signal conditioning. | Select for unipolar, low-power, cost-sensitive applications where ±10.24V direct interface and daisy-chain synchronization are not needed. |
Compared with AD7960BCPZ-RL7 and ADS8860IDRCT, the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF uniquely combines ±10.24V true bipolar input, integrated 2.048V reference with buffer, daisy-chain SPI, and I-grade temperature qualification - delivering lowest system-level design effort for industrial 500ksps DAQ.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF?
The LTC2327IMS-16#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). This specification is guaranteed per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section, with all key parameters-including INL, SNR, and reference drift-validated across this full range. Thermal derating is not required up to 85°C ambient.
Does the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.048V bandgap reference with 20ppm/°C max drift and a 2× gain reference buffer delivering 4.096V at REFBUF. When used with REFIN = 2.048V and REFBUF = 4.096V, the device achieves its specified ±10.24V input range and 93.5dB SNR without external components.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF?
Daisy-chain mode is enabled by driving CHAIN high. In this mode, RDL/SDI functions as SDI (serial data input), accepting the SDO output from a preceding ADC in the chain. SDO then outputs the local conversion result *after* the upstream data, allowing multiple LTC2327IMS-16#PBF devices to share one SCK and CNV line while outputting concatenated 16-bit results on a single SDO line.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF during active conversion?
The LTC2327IMS-16#PBF consumes 36mW (typical) at 500ksps with VDD = 5V and OVDD = 2.5V, as specified in the Power Requirements table. This includes combined IVDD + IOVDD current of 14mA (typ). Power scales linearly with sample rate due to automatic nap mode - e.g., at 100ksps, typical power drops to ~7.2mW.
Can the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF accept ±12.5V input signals?
Yes, the LTC2327IMS-16#PBF supports ±12.5V input range by disabling the internal reference buffer and overdriving REFBUF with an external 5V reference (REFIN = 0V, REFBUF = 5V). This configuration is explicitly documented in Table 3 of the datasheet and maintains guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation and ±1.5LSB INL performance.
