Product details
Overview
LTC2328IMS-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 1 Msps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pseudo-differential inputs, ±10.24V true bipolar input range, 95 dB SNR (typ), and ±5 LSB INL (max). It operates from a single 5 V supply, integrates a low-drift 2.048 V internal reference and reference buffer, and targets high-precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring wide dynamic range and DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2328IMS-18#PBF pinout, LTC2328IMS-18#PBF application, or LTC2328IMS-18#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes operation, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility across 1.8–5 V logic levels, internal conversion clock eliminating external timing constraints, and −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating.
Technical Context
The LTC2328IMS-18#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 2.048 V factory-trimmed bandgap reference buffered to 4.096 V, enabling ±10.24 V input range via 2.5× scaling. Its pseudo-differential front-end uses resistor-divider networks (2 kΩ input impedance) and clamped ESD protection, supporting common-mode rejection up to 66 dB at 500 kHz.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV, with fixed 460–527 ns conversion time set by an internal oscillator-eliminating pipeline delay and cycle latency. The device supports both normal mode (RDL/SDI as bus enable) and daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI as serial data input), with SDO output in 2's complement format synchronized to SCK rising edges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit-guaranteed no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 1 Msps-enables real-time capture of signals up to 500 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 95 dB (typ) at fIN = 2 kHz-supports >15.5 effective bits for precision measurement. |
| INL | ±5 LSB (max)-ensures monotonicity and < ±0.002% full-scale linearity error. |
| Input Range | ±10.24 V true bipolar-matches standard industrial sensor outputs without external level-shifting. |
| Reference | 2.048 V internal bandgap (20 ppm/°C max drift)-reduces BOM count and improves thermal stability vs. external references. |
| Power Dissipation | 50 mW (typ) at 1 Msps-scales with sampling rate; drops to 300 µW in sleep mode. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDLBYP (1) | 2.5 V LDO bypass | Internal regulator output; requires 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable 2.5 V supply to analog core. |
| VDD (2) | 5 V analog supply | Main power rail (4.75–5.25 V); bypassed with 10 µF 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 layout. |
| IN+ (4) | Pseudo-differential analog input | Accepts ±10.24 V differential swing relative to IN−; input impedance modeled as 2 kΩ + 45 pF. |
| IN− (5) | Common-mode sense reference | Fixed ±500 mV range w.r.t. GND; must connect to system ground plane or remote sense point. |
| REFBUF (7) | Buffered reference output | Nominally 4.096 V; decoupled with 47 µF ceramic capacitor; can be overdriven externally (2.5–5 V). |
| REFIN (8) | Internal reference output / external reference input | 2.048 V bandgap output (bypass with 100 nF); accepts 1.25–2.4 V external reference for improved accuracy. |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger | Rising-edge–sensitive control input; initiates acquisition and conversion sequence with no setup/hold timing required. |
| CHAIN (10) | Daisy-chain mode select | High = enables RDL/SDI as serial data input for multi-ADC cascading; low = RDL/SDI acts as SDO bus enable. |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output signaling conversion progress; synchronous with internal clock, not SCK. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial bus control / data input | Mode-dependent: bus enable (CHAIN = low) or SDI (CHAIN = high); supports 1.8–5 V logic levels. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Drives SDO output timing; supports up to 100 MHz (10 ns period); rising-edge–sampled data transfer. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | 2's complement 18-bit result shifted MSB-first on SCK rising edges; tri-state when RDL = low or CHAIN = low. |
| OVDD (15) | I/O interface supply | Digital I/O voltage rail (1.71–5.25 V); sets logic thresholds for all digital pins; bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2328IMS-18#PBF is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade). This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Order Information section, where "IMS" denotes the Industrial temperature grade. It maintains full performance-including ±5 LSB INL, 95 dB SNR, and 1 Msps throughput-across this entire range without derating.
Does the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.048 V bandgap reference and a buffered 4.096 V output (REFBUF), enabling its standard ±10.24 V input range. REFIN and REFBUF pins support optional external reference overdrive for enhanced accuracy or different input ranges, but the internal reference is fully functional out-of-box.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF?
Daisy-chain mode is enabled by pulling the CHAIN pin high. In this mode, RDL/SDI becomes a serial data input, allowing multiple LTC2328IMS-18#PBF devices to be cascaded. The SDO of the upstream device connects to the RDL/SDI of the downstream device, and a single SCK synchronizes all conversions. BUSY remains individual per device, while SDO outputs propagate results sequentially on the shared bus.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF during active conversion?
At 1 Msps sampling rate with IN+ = −10.24 V and IN− = 0 V, the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF draws 14.5 mA from VDD and 10 mA from OVDD, totaling 50 mW typical power dissipation. Power scales linearly with sample rate in nap mode, and drops to 300 µW in sleep mode-verified in the Power Requirements table under IVDD, IOVDD, and PD columns.
Is the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2328 family?
Yes, the LTC2328IMS-18#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with LTC2328CMS-18#PBF (Commercial) and LTC2328HMS-18#PBF (High Temp). All variants use the same 16-lead MSOP package and functionally identical pin assignments, differing only in temperature grade and associated AC/DC specifications-enabling drop-in replacement during design-in or qualification phases.
