Product details
Overview
LTC2337HMS-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 500ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with fully differential true bipolar inputs, ±10.24V input range, 100dB SNR (typ), ±4LSB INL (max), and operation up to 125°C. It serves as a high-precision front-end digitizer in industrial data acquisition systems requiring wide dynamic range and low distortion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2337HMS-18#PBF pinout, LTC2337HMS-18#PBF application, or LTC2337HMS-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes performance, internal 2.048V reference with 20ppm/°C drift max, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface, nap/sleep power management, and MSOP-16 packaging qualified for extended temperature operation.
Technical Context
The LTC2337HMS-18#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a fully differential input stage that accepts ±10.24V true bipolar signals via internal resistor divider networks and 45pF sampling capacitors. Its conversion core uses a 2.048V bandgap reference buffered to 4.096V, enabling ±5 × VREFBUF full-scale range.
Timing is governed by an internal oscillator-eliminating external clock dependency-with fixed 1.5µs conversion time, 1.46µs acquisition window, and zero cycle latency. The SPI-compatible serial interface supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic levels, daisy-chain mode, and 2's complement output format with BUSY and CNV synchronization signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit-guaranteed no missing codes across full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps-fixed throughput with no pipeline delay or cycle latency, enabling deterministic real-time control loops. |
| INL (Max) | ±4 LSB-ensures monotonicity and linearity critical for closed-loop feedback accuracy in precision instrumentation. |
| SNR (Typ) | 100 dB at fIN = 2 kHz-supports >16.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for high-fidelity signal capture. |
| Input Range | ±10.24 V true bipolar-enables direct digitization of industrial sensor outputs (e.g., ±10 V transducers) without external level-shifting. |
| Reference | Internal 2.048 V ±20 ppm/°C-factory-trimmed bandgap with onboard buffer; eliminates need for external reference in most applications. |

| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C-qualified for harsh environments including motor drives, downhole tools, and aerospace avionics. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 marked by dot; top-side marking "233718".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDLBYP (1) | 2.5 V regulated supply bypass | On-chip LDO output; requires 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable 2.5 V rail powering internal analog circuitry. |
| VDD (2) | Main analog supply | 4.75 V–5.25 V single supply; powers ADC core and reference; bypassed with 10 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| GND (3,6,16) | Analog/digital ground | Three dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR; must be tied to common system ground plane. |
| IN+, IN– (4,5) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±10.24 V true bipolar signal; input impedance modeled as 2 kΩ resistive divider + 45 pF capacitance per pin. |
| REFBUF (7) | Reference buffer output | 4.096 V (2× REFIN) output; decoupled with 47 µF ceramic capacitor; can be overdriven externally (2.5 V–5 V) when internal buffer disabled. |
| REFIN (8) | Reference output/input | 2.048 V bandgap reference output; bypassed with 100 nF ceramic capacitor; accepts external reference (1.25 V–2.4 V) via 15 kΩ series resistor. |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger input | Rising-edge–sensitive; initiates acquisition and conversion; logic threshold referenced to OVDD voltage. |
| CHAIN (10) | Interface mode selector | Low = normal mode (RDL/SDI = bus enable); high = daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI = serial data input). |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; asserts at CNV rising edge and deasserts upon result availability on SDO. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial interface control/data | Function depends on CHAIN state: bus enable (low) or SDI (high); supports SPI read/write and multi-device chaining. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Accepts 10 ns min pulse width (100 MHz max); controls timing of SDO data shifts; synchronous to rising edge. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | 2's complement 18-bit result shifted MSB-first; tri-state controlled by RDL/SDI in normal mode; active during BUSY high. |
| OVDD (15) | I/O supply voltage | 1.71 V–5.25 V digital interface supply; sets logic thresholds for all digital pins; bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature of the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2337HMS-18#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This H-grade qualification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section, where all key parameters-including INL, SNR, and reference drift-are specified over this full range. The device's thermal resistance (θJA = 110°C/W) and maximum junction temperature (150°C) further validate its suitability for high-temperature industrial environments.
Does the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a factory-trimmed 2.048 V bandgap reference with ≤20 ppm/°C drift and an onboard buffer that outputs 4.096 V at the REFBUF pin-enabling direct ±10.24 V true bipolar operation. An external reference may be used (1.25 V–2.4 V applied to REFIN) for improved accuracy, but it is optional-not required-for functional operation.
How does the nap mode reduce power consumption in the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2337HMS-18#PBF automatically enters nap mode between conversions, reducing supply current from 7.5 mA (active) to 3.9 mA (conversion done) and scaling linearly with sampling rate. At 500 ksps, typical active power is 35 mW; at 50 ksps, nap-mode current drops to ~0.4 mA, cutting power to ~2 mW. This dynamic scaling is intrinsic to the SAR architecture and requires no software intervention-only proper CNV timing.
Can multiple LTC2337HMS-18#PBF devices be connected on a single SPI bus?
Yes, the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF supports daisy-chain mode via the CHAIN pin. When CHAIN is high, the RDL/SDI pin becomes a serial data input, allowing up to 16 devices to share one SPI bus (SCK, BUSY, CNV) with only one SDO line per chain. Data is shifted out sequentially on SDO after each conversion, eliminating the need for individual chip-select lines and simplifying multi-channel system design.
What is the input impedance of the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF analog inputs?
The analog input impedance of the LTC2337HMS-18#PBF is modeled as a 2.083 kΩ resistive divider network (per input) in series with 45 pF sampling capacitance. This structure attenuates and level-shifts the ±10.24 V input to the 0–4.096 V range of the internal ADC core. For optimal performance, sources should drive this network with low-impedance buffers-especially for high-frequency or high-precision applications-to minimize gain error and settling-time-induced distortion.
