Product details
Overview
LTC2345CUK-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, octal-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with differential SoftSpan™ inputs, 200ksps per channel throughput, ±1.25LSB INL, 91dB SNR, and integrated 4.096V reference buffer. It operates from a single 5V supply and supports configurable input ranges (±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, 0–2.048V) per channel-ideal for high-precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring wide common-mode flexibility and rail-to-rail overdrive tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2345CUK-16#PBF pinout, LTC2345CUK-16#PBF application, or LTC2345CUK-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel SoftSpan range reconfiguration, 102dB CMRR at 200Hz, SPI CMOS/LVDS interface compatibility, guaranteed no-missing-codes operation across temperature, and QFN-48 package thermal performance up to +70°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LTC2345CUK-16#PBF implements an 8-channel simultaneous sampling architecture using independent sample-and-hold circuits feeding a shared 16-bit SAR core, enabling true time-aligned digitization across all channels without inter-channel skew. Its SoftSpan™ digital control allows real-time, conversion-by-conversion configuration of input range and polarity per channel via SPI register writes.
It integrates a precision 2.048V bandgap reference (REFIN) and a buffered 4.096V master reference (REFBUF), both internally trimmed and temperature-compensated. The analog front-end features rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance, 31MHz –3dB input bandwidth, and 150ps aperture delay matching between channels-critical for phase-coherent multi-channel signal analysis.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ to IN7+, IN0− to IN7− (Pins 1–14, 47–48) | Differential analog inputs | Eight fully independent, wide common-mode (0V to VDD) input pairs; each pair accepts ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, or 0–2.048V signals based on SoftSpan configuration. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel SoftSpan™ configuration | Each of eight channels independently selects ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, or 0–2.048V input range on every conversion-enabling mixed-signal acquisition (e.g., thermocouple + strain gauge) without external gain switching. |
| 102dB CMRR at 200Hz | Rejects power-line interference and ground-loop noise in factory-floor installations without additional filtering or isolation components. |
| Simultaneous sampling with 150ps aperture matching | Preserves phase relationships between channels for accurate FFT-based spectral analysis, motor current signature analysis, or vibration monitoring. |
| Rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance | Withstands transient overvoltage up to ±VDD without latch-up or code corruption-reducing need for external clamping diodes in harsh EMI environments. |
| Integrated 4.096V reference buffer | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout sensitivity; 5ppm/°C tempco ensures <±0.05% full-scale drift from 0°C to 70°C. |
| Guaranteed operation to +70°C | Validated performance across full commercial temperature range-suitable for enclosed control cabinets without forced air cooling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal, 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-16 (Analog Devices) | 16-bit, 8-channel, simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC; 1MSPS total throughput (125ksps/channel), ±2.5V/±5V fixed input ranges, integrated 2.5V ref, SPI-only interface. | Higher aggregate throughput but lower per-channel rate; lacks per-channel SoftSpan flexibility and LVDS option; optimized for cost-sensitive industrial DAQ. | Select AD7606C-16 when higher aggregate sampling speed suffices and input signal ranges are uniform across channels. |
| ADS8688 (Texas Instruments) | 16-bit, 8-channel, pseudo-simultaneous SAR ADC; 1MSPS total (125ksps avg), ±10.24V/±5.12V/0–10.24V/0–5.12V ranges, integrated 4.096V ref, SPI interface only. | No true simultaneous sampling-uses multiplexed S/H; lower CMRR (96dB); wider unipolar/bipolar ranges but no per-conversion reconfiguration. | Select ADS8688 when absolute channel-to-channel timing alignment is not required and wider input voltage ranges are needed. |
Compared with AD7606C-16 and ADS8688, the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF uniquely combines true simultaneous sampling, per-channel SoftSpan reconfiguration, LVDS interface capability, and 102dB CMRR-making it the only option among the three suitable for phase-critical, mixed-range, noise-immune industrial and medical acquisition where timing integrity and signal flexibility are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF?
The LTC2345CUK-16#PBF is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This C-grade variant uses the same die as the I-grade (–40°C to +85°C) and H-grade (–40°C to +125°C) versions but is tested and binned to meet full electrical specifications only within the 0°C to +70°C range. Thermal design should ensure junction temperature remains below 150°C under worst-case power dissipation (95mW max in LVDS mode).
Does the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF require external reference components?
No-the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF integrates a 2.048V bandgap reference (REFIN) and a buffered 4.096V master reference (REFBUF). External bypass capacitors are required: 0.1µF ceramic at REFIN and 47µF at REFBUF. An external reference may be applied to REFIN (1.25V–2.2V) to improve accuracy or temperature stability, but it is not required for basic operation of the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF.
How does the SoftSpan feature work on the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF?
The SoftSpan feature on the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF allows independent, conversion-by-conversion configuration of each of the eight input channels to accept one of four differential input ranges: ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, or 0–2.048V. Configuration is performed via SPI register writes before each conversion cycle-enabling mixed-signal acquisition (e.g., simultaneously digitizing ±10V and 0–5V sensors) without hardware reconfiguration or external gain stages.
Can the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF operate with a 3.3V digital supply (OVDD)?
Yes-the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF supports OVDD from 1.71V to 5.25V in CMOS mode, making 3.3V fully compatible. All digital I/O thresholds scale with OVDD (VIH = 0.8×OVDD, VIL = 0.2×OVDD), and timing parameters (e.g., tSCKI = 10ns min) are guaranteed across this range. For LVDS mode, OVDD must be ≥2.375V; 3.3V is acceptable and commonly used for LVDS termination.
What is the purpose of the PD (power-down) pin on the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF?
The PD pin on the LTC2345CUK-16#PBF controls deep power-down mode, reducing supply current to ≤65μA (C-grade) while preserving register state. When asserted, the internal reference buffer and analog circuitry are disabled. After deassertion, a 200ms wake-up time is required for REFBUF to stabilize before valid conversions resume-this delay is inherent to the internal 4.096V buffer's 47μF capacitor charging time and applies to every LTC2345CUK-16#PBF power-down cycle.
