Product details
Overview
LTC2345IUK-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, octal-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with differential wide common-mode inputs, ±5LSB INL (±4.096V range), 91.8dB SNR, and 200ksps per channel throughput. It features per-channel SoftSpan™ configurable input ranges (±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, 0–2.048V), integrated 4.096V reference buffer, and operates from a single 5V supply across –40°C to +85°C. It is used in high-precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring multichannel synchronization and rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2345IUK-18#PBF pinout, LTC2345IUK-18#PBF application, or LTC2345IUK-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes performance, 102dB CMRR at 200Hz, LVDS/CMOS dual serial interface support, 48-lead QFN package thermal performance, and per-channel programmable input range flexibility for mixed-signal sensor conditioning.
Technical Context
The LTC2345IUK-18#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with internal conversion clock and zero-cycle latency, enabling deterministic timing for real-time control loops. Its analog front-end supports fully differential, arbitrary, bipolar, or unipolar drive modes with rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance and 31MHz –3dB input bandwidth.
It integrates a precision 2.048V bandgap reference (REFIN) and a buffered 4.096V output (REFBUF), with programmable reference enable/disable and external overdrive capability. Digital I/O supports both SPI CMOS (1.8V–5V) and LVDS interfaces, with selectable lane count (1–8) in CMOS mode to balance throughput and bus width.

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead plastic QFN (7mm × 7mm), exposed pad (Pin 49) connected to GND and required to be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ to IN7+, IN0− to IN7− (Pins 1–14, 47–48) | Differential analog inputs (8 channels) | Simultaneously sample VIN+ − VIN−; support 0V to VDD common-mode range and rail-to-rail overdrive tolerance. |
| GND (Pins 15–18, 20, 30, 41, 44–46, 49) | Analog/digital ground | Multiple dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce and ensure stable reference and digital return paths. |
| REFIN (Pin 19) | Internal bandgap reference output / external reference input | Outputs 2.048V nominal; accepts 1.25V–2.2V external reference for improved accuracy or temperature stability. |
| REFBUF (Pin 21) | Buffered reference output (4.096V) | Provides low-impedance 4.096V master reference; disabled when REFIN is overdriven to avoid conflict. |
| PD (Pin 22) | Power-down control | Active-high signal reduces current to ≤2.1μA (I-grade), enabling low-power sleep states in portable DAQ. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel SoftSpan™ configuration | Each of 8 channels independently selects ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, or 0–2.048V range on every conversion - eliminates external gain-switching circuitry in multi-sensor systems. |
| Integrated reference and buffer | On-chip 2.048V bandgap + 4.096V buffer reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining ±20ppm/°C tempco and 0.1mV/V line regulation. |
| 102dB CMRR at 200Hz | Rejects noise from shared power rails or EMI-coupled interference in factory-floor PLC cabinets without external instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance | Withstands ±VDD differential overvoltage without corruption - protects against sensor fault conditions and simplifies front-end protection design. |
| LVDS/CMOS dual interface | Reduces EMI and improves noise immunity in noisy industrial environments via LVDS, or enables direct FPGA interfacing with CMOS voltage levels (1.8V–5V). |
| Guaranteed operation to 85°C | Validated performance across full industrial temperature range - eliminates derating concerns in enclosed control panels with limited airflow. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 18-bit multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-18 | 8-channel, 18-bit, 1MSPS, integrated analog front-end with ±10V/±5V/0–10V ranges; uses internal oscillator; requires external reference for best accuracy. | Higher max throughput (1Msps vs 200ksps) but lower SNR (89.5dB vs 91.8dB); less flexible per-channel range selection (group-based, not individual). | Select AD7606C-18 when higher sample rate dominates over SNR and per-channel range independence. |
| ADS8688 | 8-channel, 16-bit, 500ksps, integrated PGA (±10.24V to ±125mV ranges), SPI-only CMOS interface; no LVDS option. | Lower resolution (16-bit vs 18-bit) but includes programmable gain amplifier; optimized for direct sensor interfacing without external signal conditioning. | Select ADS8688 when sensor-level gain adjustment is needed and 16-bit resolution suffices for the measurement fidelity target. |
Compared with AD7606C-18 and ADS8688, the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF uniquely combines per-channel SoftSpan™ configurability, LVDS interface for noise immunity, and best-in-class 91.8dB SNR - making it optimal for high-fidelity, synchronized multichannel acquisition where range flexibility and dynamic range are prioritized over raw speed or integrated PGA functionality.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF?
The LTC2345IUK-18#PBF achieves 200ksps per channel when all eight channels are enabled simultaneously. Throughput increases to 1Msps when only one channel is active, with linear scaling (e.g., 450ksps for three channels). This scalability is enabled by its fixed conversion time per channel (tCONV = 455×N – 35 ns) and deterministic timing architecture.
Does the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF require an external reference, or does it have an integrated one?
The LTC2345IUK-18#PBF includes a fully integrated reference system: a 2.048V bandgap reference (REFIN) and a buffered 4.096V output (REFBUF). No external reference is required for standard operation. However, REFIN can be overdriven with an external 1.25V–2.2V reference for improved accuracy or temperature stability, in which case the internal buffer must be disabled.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF?
The SoftSpan™ feature on the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF allows each of the eight analog input channels to be independently configured-on a conversion-by-conversion basis-for one of four differential input ranges: ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, ±2.048V, or 0–2.048V. Configuration is controlled via SPI command bits, enabling dynamic adaptation to varying sensor output levels without hardware changes or external gain switching.
What digital interface options does the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF support?
The LTC2345IUK-18#PBF supports two pin-selectable digital interfaces: SPI-compatible CMOS (operating from 1.8V to 5V OVDD) and LVDS. In CMOS mode, the number of SDO data lanes can be configured from one to eight to optimize bus width versus throughput. LVDS mode provides superior noise immunity for high-EMI industrial environments.
Is the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2345 family?
Yes, the LTC2345IUK-18#PBF is pin-compatible with the LTC2345CUK-18#PBF (0°C to 70°C) and LTC2345HUK-18#PBF (–40°C to 125°C), sharing identical 48-lead QFN packaging, pinout, and electrical interface. Only the operating temperature grade differs - allowing drop-in replacement based on environmental requirements without PCB redesign.
