Product details
Overview
LTC2345HUK-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, octal-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with differential SoftSpan™ inputs, ±5 LSB INL (±4.096V range), 91.8 dB SNR, and rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance. It operates at 200 ksps per channel with integrated 4.096 V reference buffer and supports CMOS (1.8–5 V) or LVDS serial interfaces - ideal for high-precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring wide dynamic range and multi-channel synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2345HUK-18#PBF pinout, LTC2345HUK-18#PBF application, or LTC2345HUK-18#PBF equivalent, this device delivers verified 18-bit no-missing-codes performance, per-channel programmable input ranges (±4.096 V, 0–4.096 V, ±2.048 V, 0–2.048 V), 102 dB CMRR, and guaranteed operation up to +125°C in a 48-lead QFN package.
Technical Context
The LTC2345HUK-18#PBF implements a successive approximation register architecture with internal conversion clock and zero-cycle latency. Its SoftSpan™ configuration enables independent per-channel input range selection on a conversion-by-conversion basis, supporting both bipolar and unipolar differential signals across a 0 V to VDD common-mode range.
It features dual-mode digital I/O: SPI-compatible CMOS (1.8–5 V OVDD) with configurable 1–8 data lanes, or differential LVDS with 275–425 mV output swing and 100 Ω termination. The integrated reference buffer delivers 4.096 V (±5 mV) with 5 ppm/°C tempco and supports external overdrive via REFIN (1.25–2.2 V).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution multi-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-18 | 18-bit, 8-channel, simultaneous sampling; ±2.5 LSB INL (±10 V range); uses external reference; LVDS not supported. | Requires external 2.5 V reference and level-shifting for 5 V systems; lower CMRR (96 dB) limits noise rejection in electrically noisy plants. | Preferred when external reference control or lower cost is prioritized over integrated reference simplicity and ultra-high CMRR. |
| ADS8688 | 16-bit, 8-channel, pseudo-simultaneous sampling; ±1.5 LSB INL (±10.24 V range); integrated reference; SPI-only CMOS interface. | Lacks true simultaneous sampling - introduces inter-channel skew up to 250 ns; lower resolution limits dynamic range in vibration analysis. | Suitable for cost-sensitive applications where 16-bit resolution and sequential sampling are acceptable, such as basic SCADA telemetry. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF?
The LTC2345HUK-18#PBF achieves 200 ksps per channel when all eight channels are enabled. Throughput increases to 1000 ksps per channel when only one channel is active, with linear scaling between - enabling flexible trade-offs between channel count and speed in real-time systems.
Does the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF require an external reference?
No - the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF integrates a precision 4.096 V reference buffer (REFBUF) and 2.048 V bandgap reference (REFIN). External overdrive of REFIN (1.25–2.2 V) is optional for improved accuracy or temperature stability, but not required for standard operation.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF?
SoftSpan™ allows each of the eight channels to be independently configured on a per-conversion basis for ±4.096 V, 0–4.096 V, ±2.048 V, or 0–2.048 V input ranges using SPI register writes - eliminating external programmable gain amplifiers and enabling adaptive signal conditioning in software-defined instruments.
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF?
The LTC2345HUK-18#PBF is rated for −40°C to +125°C operation (H-grade), with all key specifications - including ±5 LSB INL, 91.8 dB SNR, and 102 dB CMRR - guaranteed across this full range. This qualifies it for under-hood automotive, downhole, and industrial edge computing deployments.
Can the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF interface directly with an FPGA using LVDS?
Yes - the LTC2345HUK-18#PBF supports pin-selectable LVDS serial I/O with 275–425 mV differential output swing and 100 Ω termination, compatible with standard FPGA LVDS receivers. Timing parameters (e.g., tSKEW ≤ ±0.4 ns) ensure robust setup/hold margins at >100 MHz data rates.
