Product details
Overview
LTC2336IMS-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 250ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with fully differential true bipolar inputs, ±10.24V input range, 100dB SNR (typ), and ±4LSB INL (max). It operates from a single 5V supply, integrates a 2.048V low-drift (20ppm/°C max) internal reference and reference buffer, and targets high-voltage industrial data acquisition requiring wide dynamic range and DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2336IMS-18#PBF pinout, LTC2336IMS-18#PBF application, or LTC2336IMS-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes operation, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility across 1.8V–5V logic, absence of pipeline delay or cycle latency, and support for extended temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2336IMS-18#PBF employs a charge redistribution capacitor DAC architecture with fully differential sampling, achieving 7MHz –3dB input linear bandwidth and 4ps aperture jitter. Its conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator, eliminating external clock dependencies and ensuring consistent 1.9–3µs conversion time across temperature.
It features dual reference paths: a factory-trimmed 2.048V bandgap reference (REFIN) buffered to 4.096V (REFBUF), enabling ±10.24V input range; REFIN supports overdrive (1.25V–2.4V) for custom full-scale scaling. The SPI-compatible serial interface includes RDL/SDI multiplexing via CHAIN pin control and supports daisy-chain mode for multi-ADC synchronization.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (MS package), 3mm × 4.9mm footprint, exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 2) | Main analog supply input | Accepts 4.75V–5.25V; powers core ADC, reference, and internal LDO generating VDDLBYP; requires 10µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| IN+, IN– (Pins 4, 5) | Fully differential analog inputs | Support ±10.24V true bipolar swing; modeled as 2kΩ input impedance with 45pF sampling capacitance; require matched drive for optimal CMRR (67dB @ 125kHz). |
| REFBUF (Pin 7) | Reference buffer output | Nominally 4.096V (2× REFIN); supplies ADC core reference; must be decoupled with ≥47µF ceramic capacitor; can be overdriven 2.5V–5V when internal buffer disabled. |
| REFIN (Pin 8) | Internal reference output / external reference input | Outputs 2.048V ±5mV (2.043–2.053V); supports external overdrive 1.25V–2.4V via 15kΩ series resistor; requires 100nF ceramic bypass. |
| CNV (Pin 9) | Convert initiation input | Rising-edge-triggered; powers up ADC and starts acquisition/conversion sequence; logic levels referenced to OVDD. |
| CHAIN (Pin 10) | Serial interface mode selector | Low = normal mode (RDL/SDI = bus enable); high = daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI = SDI); enables multi-device SPI cascading without additional chip selects. |
| BUSY (Pin 11) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; asserts at CNV↑, deasserts when conversion complete and data ready on SDO; used for timing handshaking. |
| RDL/SDI (Pin 12) | Multiplexed serial I/O | Function depends on CHAIN state; in chain mode, accepts serial data from upstream device; in normal mode, controls SDO tri-state. |
| SCK (Pin 13) | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 100MHz (10ns min period); rising edge clocks out MSB-first 18-bit 2's complement data on SDO; timing validated at OVDD = 1.71V/2.5V/5.25V. |
| SDO (Pin 14) | Serial data output | Outputs conversion result or daisy-chain data; 2's complement format; valid 7.5–9.5ns after SCK↑ depending on OVDD; driven to OVDD/GND rails. |
| OVDD (Pin 15) | Digital I/O supply | 1.71V–5.25V logic interface supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic; enables interoperability with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V host controllers. |
| GND (Pins 3, 6, 16) | Analog/digital ground | Three dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce; must connect to common system ground plane with low-inductance paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay or cycle latency | Delivers first valid conversion result immediately after CNV edge-enables deterministic real-time control loops without output buffering delays. |
| Onboard single-shot capable reference buffer | Eliminates need for external op-amp buffer; supports fast wake-up (200ms REFBUF settling) and stable 4.096V reference even under transient load conditions. |
| 1.8V–5V I/O voltage compatibility | Allows direct connection to diverse host processors (ARM Cortex-M, FPGA I/O banks, microcontrollers) without level translators, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Automatic nap mode between conversions | Reduces average power proportionally to sampling rate-e.g., at 10ksps, power drops to ~1.1mW-ideal for battery-powered or thermally constrained instrumentation. |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C (H-grade variant) | Validated performance across –40°C to +85°C (I-grade) with design margin supporting extended reliability in harsh industrial enclosures. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2336IMS-18#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). This range is fully tested and guaranteed for all electrical parameters including INL (±4LSB max), SNR (≥95dB), and reference drift (≤20ppm/°C). It shares the same 16-lead MSOP package and pinout as the C-grade (0°C to 70°C) and H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) variants, enabling drop-in replacement in thermally managed designs.
Does the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF require an external reference, or does it include one?
The LTC2336IMS-18#PBF integrates a factory-trimmed 2.048V bandgap reference (at REFIN) and a 2× gain reference buffer (at REFBUF), enabling its standard ±10.24V input range without external components. REFIN supports overdrive (1.25V–2.4V) for custom scaling, and REFBUF can be overdriven (2.5V–5V) when the internal buffer is disabled-providing three flexible reference configurations without requiring external references for basic operation.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF, and what pins are involved?
Daisy-chain mode on the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF is enabled by driving CHAIN (Pin 10) high. In this mode, RDL/SDI (Pin 12) becomes SDI, accepting serial data from the previous device in the chain, while SDO (Pin 14) outputs data to the next device. SCK (Pin 13) clocks data through the entire chain synchronously, eliminating the need for individual chip select lines and simplifying multi-ADC SPI bus management.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF in active, nap, and sleep modes?
The LTC2336IMS-18#PBF consumes 28mW (typ) at 250ksps in active mode, 19.5mW in nap mode (automatically entered between conversions), and 0.3mW in sleep mode (entered via command). These values are measured at VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, and include both analog and digital supply currents (IVDD + IOVDD), enabling precise power budgeting for energy-sensitive industrial and portable applications.
Can the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller SPI port?
Yes-the LTC2336IMS-18#PBF supports 1.8V–5V logic levels via its OVDD (Pin 15) supply. When OVDD = 1.8V, VIH = 1.44V (min) and VIL = 0.36V (max), matching standard 1.8V CMOS thresholds. SDO drives cleanly to OVDD/GND, and BUSY is open-drain with pull-up to OVDD, allowing seamless interoperability with 1.8V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
