Product details
Overview
LTC2344HUH-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, quad-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with differential SoftSpan inputs, ±4LSB INL, 95dB SNR, and rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance - designed for high-precision industrial data acquisition at 400ksps per channel across all four channels.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2344HUH-18#PBF pinout, LTC2344HUH-18#PBF application, or LTC2344HUH-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes operation at 18 bits, programmable per-channel input ranges (±4.096V/0–4.096V/±2.048V/0–2.048V), 102dB CMRR, LVDS/CMOS dual-interface support, and H-grade operation up to 125°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2344HUH-18#PBF implements a successive approximation register architecture with internal conversion clock and zero-cycle latency. Its analog front-end features fully differential inputs with 0V to VDD common-mode range and 102dB CMRR at 200Hz, enabling direct digitization of sensor, transducer, and isolated amplifier outputs without external signal conditioning.
Each channel supports independent SoftSpan configuration via SPI register writes, allowing real-time reconfiguration between bipolar and unipolar full-scale ranges on a per-conversion basis. The integrated 4.096V reference buffer (REFBUF) and bandgap reference (REFIN) are internally trimmed and temperature-compensated, delivering ±2.5ppm/°C full-scale drift and 5ppm/°C reference TC over –40°C to 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function and no missing codes across full operating temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 400ksps per channel (all 4 enabled) - enables synchronized capture of fast transient signals in multi-sensor systems. |
| INL | ±4LSB max (±4.096V range) - ensures accurate end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control calibration. |
| SNR | 95dB typical (fIN = 2kHz) - supports >15.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) in demanding dynamic applications. |
| CMRR | 102dB typical (fIN = 200Hz) - rejects common-mode noise from motor drives, power supplies, and long cable runs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive, downhole oil & gas, and industrial furnace monitoring. |
| Power Dissipation | 81mW typical (CMOS mode, 4 ch @ 400ksps) - enables high-density data acquisition without forced air cooling. |
Pinout & Package
32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package (UH) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = GND). All GND pins (Pins 9, 11, 20, 29, 31, 32, 33) must be soldered to a solid ground plane for optimal noise immunity and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ / IN0– to IN3+ / IN3– (Pins 1–8) | Differential analog inputs (Ch 0–3) | Simultaneously sampled; support 0V–VDD common-mode range and ±VREFBUF differential swing - eliminates need for external level-shifting amplifiers. |
| REFIN (Pin 10) | Bandgap reference output / buffer input | Nominally 2.048V; can be overdriven with 1.25–2.2V external reference to improve accuracy or temperature stability. |
| REFBUF (Pin 12) | Reference buffer output | Nominally 4.096V (2×REFIN); bypassed with 47μF ceramic capacitor; disable by grounding REFIN to use external 2.5–5V reference. |
| LVDS/CMOS (Pin 14) | I/O interface mode select | Tie to OVDD for LVDS; tie to GND for CMOS - configures digital interface before power-up; no runtime switching. |
| PD (Pin 13) | Power-down control | Active-high; initiates low-power state (<0.33mW) and global reset on double assertion - enables energy-efficient burst-mode acquisition. |
| CS / CNV / BUSY / SDOx / SCKI / SCKO (Pins 15–32) | Serial interface control & data | Supports 1–4-lane CMOS (1.8–5V) or differential LVDS; SCKI/SCKO timing allows >100MHz CMOS or >250MHz LVDS data rates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel SoftSpan configuration | Independent selection of ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, or 0–2.048V range per conversion - enables mixed-signal acquisition (e.g., voltage + current + thermocouple) on single device. |
| Rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance | Accepts differential input overvoltage up to ±VDD without damage or code corruption - protects against sensor fault conditions and ESD transients. |
| Integrated reference & buffer | Factory-trimmed 2.048V bandgap (REFIN) and 4.096V buffer (REFBUF) with 5ppm/°C TC - eliminates external reference IC and reduces BOM count by 2–3 components. |
| Simultaneous sampling & channel disabling | True 4-channel sync capture with optional channel disable - increases throughput to 500ksps (3 ch), 666ksps (2 ch), or 1000ksps (1 ch) without hardware change. |
| H-grade temperature qualification | Guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C with full parametric specs - validated for harsh-environment deployment without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-18 | 18-bit, 8-channel, 1MSPS, parallel/serial interface; internal reference only (no REFBUF overdrive option); 100dB CMRR; 85°C max operating temp. | Higher channel count but lower CMRR and no H-grade option - better suited for benchtop DAQ than embedded harsh-environment systems. | Select AD7606C-18 when needing >4 channels or higher throughput; choose LTC2344HUH-18#PBF for 125°C operation, superior CMRR, and flexible reference configuration. |
| ADS8684 | 18-bit, 4-channel, 500ksps, SPI-only CMOS interface; integrated PGA (±10.24V range); no LVDS; 92dB SNR; 85°C max operating temp. | Includes programmable gain amplifier but lacks simultaneous sampling integrity and LVDS noise immunity - optimized for cost-sensitive industrial I/O, not precision metrology. | Select ADS8684 when signal conditioning (gain/level shift) is required on-chip; choose LTC2344HUH-18#PBF when preserving analog signal integrity and supporting extreme temperature operation are primary concerns. |
Compared with AD7606C-18 and ADS8684, the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF uniquely combines H-grade temperature rating, LVDS interface for noise immunity, per-channel SoftSpan flexibility, and 102dB CMRR - making it the only option qualified for simultaneous high-accuracy acquisition in thermally aggressive, electrically hostile environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF when all four channels are enabled?
The LTC2344HUH-18#PBF achieves 400ksps per channel with all four channels simultaneously enabled. This is its rated full-bandwidth operation mode, supported by internal timing architecture and guaranteed across the –40°C to +125°C temperature range. Higher rates (500ksps, 666ksps, 1000ksps) are achievable only when fewer channels are active.
Does the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF support both LVDS and CMOS digital interfaces, and how is the mode selected?
Yes, the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF supports both LVDS and CMOS serial interfaces. Mode selection is controlled by the LVDS/CMOS pin (Pin 14): tie to OVDD for LVDS operation, tie to GND for CMOS. This is a hardware-configured setting - no software register write is required, and the mode is latched at power-up.
Can the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF operate with an external reference, and what are the valid voltage ranges?
Yes, the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF supports two external reference configurations: (1) Overdrive REFIN with 1.25V–2.2V for improved accuracy over the internal bandgap; or (2) Disable the internal buffer and overdrive REFBUF directly with 2.5V–5V. Both methods retain full 18-bit performance and temperature specifications.
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF across its full operating temperature range?
The LTC2344HUH-18#PBF guarantees ±4LSB maximum INL over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range when configured for the ±4.096V SoftSpan range. This specification is tested and guaranteed - not just typical - ensuring consistent linearity in high-reliability applications without derating.
How does the LTC2344HUH-18#PBF handle input common-mode voltage, and what is its common-mode rejection ratio?
The LTC2344HUH-18#PBF accepts analog input common-mode voltages from 0V to VDD (5V), enabling direct interfacing with sensors and amplifiers operating at rail-to-rail levels. Its analog inputs deliver 102dB typical CMRR at 200Hz, measured across all channels, which suppresses noise coupled equally onto both IN+ and IN– inputs - critical for long-cable industrial installations.
