Product details
Overview
LTC2345CUK-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, octal-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with differential SoftSpan™ inputs, 200ksps per channel throughput, ±5LSB INL (±4.096V range), 91.8dB SNR, and integrated 4.096V reference buffer. It operates from a 5V supply and supports both CMOS (1.8V–5V) and LVDS serial interfaces for industrial data acquisition systems requiring high dynamic range and channel-to-channel isolation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2345CUK-18#PBF pinout, LTC2345CUK-18#PBF application, or LTC2345CUK-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel SoftSpan input range configurability (±4.096V/0–4.096V/±2.048V/0–2.048V), rail-to-rail common mode range (0V to VDD), 102dB CMRR at 200Hz, and guaranteed no missing codes at 18 bits across its 0°C to 70°C operating range.
Technical Context
The LTC2345CUK-18#PBF implements an 8-channel simultaneous sampling architecture using independent sample-and-hold circuits per channel, enabling true time-aligned digitization of multi-sensor signals without inter-channel skew. Its SoftSpan™ digital control allows real-time reconfiguration of each channel's full-scale range on a conversion-by-conversion basis without hardware changes.
It integrates a precision 2.048V bandgap reference (±20ppm/°C TC) and a buffered 4.096V output (±5mV initial accuracy), eliminating external reference components. The analog front-end delivers 31MHz –3dB input bandwidth, 3ps RMS aperture jitter, and 150ps aperture delay matching between channels - critical for coherent multi-channel FFT analysis in vibration monitoring or medical imaging.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF support per channel?
The LTC2345CUK-18#PBF supports four software-configurable SoftSpan input ranges per channel: ±4.096V, 0V to 4.096V, ±2.048V, and 0V to 2.048V. These are selected independently for each of the eight channels via SPI register writes before each conversion, enabling mixed-signal acquisition without external gain switching.
Does the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF includes an integrated 2.048V bandgap reference and a buffered 4.096V output (REFBUF pin). When using the internal reference, only a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from REFIN to GND is required. An external reference (1.25V–2.2V) may be applied to REFIN for improved accuracy.
What is the maximum sampling rate when all eight channels are active on the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF?
When all eight channels are enabled, the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 200ksps per channel. This corresponds to a total aggregate throughput of 1.6Msps, with a fixed 5µs conversion cycle time and no latency between conversions.
How does the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF handle common-mode noise in industrial environments?
The LTC2345CUK-18#PBF provides 102dB typical common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) at 200Hz and maintains >84dB CMRR across its full 0V–5V input common-mode range. Its differential input architecture, combined with rail-to-rail overdrive tolerance, suppresses noise from ground loops, motor drives, and long sensor cables without external filtering.
Is the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF pin-compatible with other grades in the same family?
Yes, the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF shares identical pinout, package (48-lead QFN), and register map with the I-grade (–40°C to 85°C) and H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) variants (e.g., LTC2345IUK-18#PBF, LTC2345HUK-18#PBF). This enables drop-in thermal upgrades without PCB or firmware changes.
