Product details
Overview
LTC2333CLX-18#PBF from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, 8-channel buffered SAR ADC with ±10.24V differential input range, 800ksps throughput, and 96.4dB SNR. It features SoftSpan™ programmable input ranges (±10.24V/0–10.24V/±5.12V/0–5.12V), integrated 4.096V reference buffer, and rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance. It serves as a high-precision front-end digitizer in industrial process control systems requiring wide common-mode range and low input leakage.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2333CLX-18#PBF pinout, LTC2333CLX-18#PBF application, or LTC2333CLX-18#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including ±3LSB INL at ±10.24V range, 128dB CMRR, 48-pin LQFP package mapping, SPI/LVDS interface options, and confirmed alternatives for high-voltage multiplexed data acquisition.
Technical Context
The LTC2333CLX-18#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with picoamp-input analog buffers enabling direct connection to high-impedance sensors. Its SoftSpan™ configuration allows per-conversion selection of four bipolar/unipolar input ranges using internal reference and buffer, eliminating external gain/level-shifting circuitry.
It supports dual serial interfaces: pin-selectable CMOS (1.8V–5V OVDD) and LVDS, with dedicated SCKO/SDO differential pairs. The device operates from split analog supplies (VCC = +7.5V to +38V, VEE = –16.5V to 0V), enabling true ±12.5V signal handling while maintaining 5V digital logic compatibility via independent VDD and OVDD rails.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
48-lead (7mm × 7mm) plastic LQFP package (LX) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pinout validated per Linear Technology (Analog Devices) datasheet 233318f, Figure "PIN CONFIGURATION".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ to IN7+ | Differential analog input positive | Accepts ±10.24V signals with 30VP-P common-mode range; buffered picoamp inputs reduce loading on source. |
| IN0– to IN7– | Differential analog input negative | Supports true bipolar (IN– = 0V), fully differential (IN– = –IN+), or arbitrary common-mode drive configurations. |
| VCC / VEE | Analog supply rails | Split supplies (VCC up to +38V, VEE down to –16.5V) enable wide input voltage compliance without external level shifters. |
| VDD / OVDD | Digital core / I/O supply | VDD = 4.75–5.25V powers internal logic; OVDD = 1.71–5.25V (CMOS) or 2.375–5.25V (LVDS) sets interface voltage level. |
| REFBUF / REFIN | Reference buffer output / input | REFBUF = 4.096V (typical); REFIN accepts 1.25–2.2V external reference or disables internal buffer when grounded. |
| CS / CNV / BUSY | Serial interface control | CS enables SPI/LVDS bus; CNV initiates conversion; BUSY indicates active conversion - supports deterministic timing control. |
| SCKI / SCKO / SDO | Serial clock input/output, data out | LVDS mode uses differential SCKI±, SCKO±, SDO±; CMOS mode uses single-ended pins - selectable via hardware strap. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision, multi-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-18 | 18-bit, 8-channel, ±10V range, but requires external reference and lacks SoftSpan™ range flexibility; 250ksps max rate. | Lower throughput and fixed input range limit use in dynamic multi-range systems like adaptive sensor arrays. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for programmable ranges and higher speed; verify external reference stability meets system ENOB targets. |
| ADS8688 | 16-bit, 8-channel, ±10.24V range with integrated reference, but only 500ksps max and 92dB SNR. | Lower resolution and SNR restrict use in applications demanding >15.5 ENOB, such as high-fidelity audio test or metrology-grade calibration. | Choose for lower-power, lower-cost implementations where 16-bit resolution suffices and thermal budget is constrained. |
Compared with AD7606C-18 and ADS8688, the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF uniquely combines 800ksps throughput, 18-bit no-missing-codes performance, on-the-fly SoftSpan™ range reconfiguration, and integrated reference buffer - making it optimal for next-generation industrial DAQ systems requiring both speed and configurability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF?
The LTC2333CLX-18#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its part number. This commercial-grade specification aligns with applications in controlled-environment industrial electronics, HVAC controllers, and benchtop test instruments where ambient thermal stress is moderate. The device maintains full performance across this range, including ±3LSB INL and 96.4dB SNR.
Does the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF includes an integrated 4.096V reference buffer (REFBUF) and internal reference (REFIN = 2.048V). When used in default configuration, it operates autonomously without external references. However, REFIN can accept an external 1.25–2.2V reference if system-level calibration or improved temperature stability is required - in which case the internal buffer must be disabled by grounding REFIN.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF?
The SoftSpan™ feature on the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF allows per-conversion programming of eight distinct input ranges - including ±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, and 0–5.12V - via SPI register writes. Each channel can be independently configured, enabling mixed-range acquisition (e.g., one channel measuring ±10V sensor output while another reads 0–5V thermistor voltage) without hardware changes or external gain switching.
What are the power supply requirements for the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF?
The LTC2333CLX-18#PBF requires three independent supplies: analog VCC (+7.5V to +38V) and VEE (–16.5V to 0V) for wide-input-range operation; digital VDD (4.75V–5.25V) for core logic; and OVDD (1.71V–5.25V for CMOS, 2.375V–5.25V for LVDS) for serial interface levels. This decoupled architecture isolates noise-sensitive analog sections from digital switching transients.
Can the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF interface directly with an FPGA using LVDS?
Yes, the LTC2333CLX-18#PBF supports native LVDS serial communication with differential SCKI±, SCKO±, and SDO± pins. When configured for LVDS mode (via hardware strap), it delivers 350mV differential swing into 100Ω termination with 1.2V common-mode voltage - fully compatible with standard FPGA LVDS I/O banks. Timing parameters such as tSCKI = 4ns minimum ensure reliable 250MHz clock rates.
