Product details
Overview
LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 3.5 Msps serial successive-approximation ADC with differential inputs, 3.3V single-supply operation, ±1.25V bipolar input range, and 74.1 dB SINAD at 100 kHz - designed for high-speed portable data acquisition systems requiring low power and compact layout.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF pinout, LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF application, or LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-lead MSOP package, 80 dB common-mode rejection at 1 MHz, Sleep mode (13 µW), Nap mode (4 mW), and SPI-compatible 3-wire serial interface timing compatibility with standard microcontrollers.
Technical Context
The LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF employs a fully differential sample-and-hold front-end with 13 pF input capacitance and 39 ns acquisition time, enabling accurate sampling of signals up to 50 MHz full-power bandwidth. Its internal 2.5 V bandgap reference (±15 ppm/°C tempco) supports overdrive with external references from 2.55 V to VDD.
Conversion is triggered on the rising edge of CONV; output data appears on SDO over 16 clock cycles following that edge. With 63 MHz SCK and two extra clock cycles between conversions, the full 3.5 Msps rate is sustained - confirming tight timing control for real-time embedded signal capture.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision measurement integrity. |
| Sampling Rate | 3.5 Msps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 1.75 MHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SINAD | 74.1 dB at 100 kHz - corresponds to ~13.7 effective bits, critical for dynamic signal fidelity in instrumentation. |
| Power Dissipation | 18 mW active, 4 mW Nap, 13 µW Sleep - supports battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 80 dB at 1 MHz - eliminates ground-loop noise and allows direct sensor interfacing without isolation. |
| Analog Input Range | ±1.25 V differential (AIN+ – AIN–), 0 V to VDD common-mode - compatible with single-supply op-amp drivers and AC-coupled sensors. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V bandgap (±15 ppm/°C), overdrivable with 2.55 V–VDD external source - enables flexible accuracy vs. power trade-offs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (MSE) with exposed pad (Pin 11), θJA = 40°C/W, TJMAX = 125°C. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AIN+) | Noninverting analog input | Differential input node; accepts 0 V to VDD common-mode voltage with ±1.25 V swing relative to AIN–. |
| 2 (AIN–) | Inverting analog input | Differential input node; complements AIN+; both sampled simultaneously for true differential acquisition. |
| 3 (VREF) | Reference buffer output | 2.5 V internal reference; bypass with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor; supports external overdrive from 2.55 V to VDD. |
| 4, 5, 6, 11 (GND) | Ground terminals + exposed pad | All must connect directly to solid analog ground plane; carries analog, digital, and return currents - critical for noise immunity. |
| 7 (VDD) | 3.3 V supply input | Single supply for entire device; requires local 10 µF + 0.1 µF ceramic bypassing near Pins 6–7. |
| 8 (SDO) | Three-state serial data output | 2's complement 14-bit word; valid after 16 SCK edges post-CONV↑; Hi-Z when SCK inactive. |
| 9 (SCK) | Serial clock input | TTL/3.3 V CMOS-compatible; rising edge clocks data out and advances conversion state machine. |
| 10 (CONV) | Convert start input | Rising edge initiates sampling and conversion; multiple pulses with SCK held static enter Nap/Sleep modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential input architecture | Enables rejection of common-mode noise up to 80 dB at 1 MHz - essential for industrial sensor interfaces with long cables. |
| Low-power Sleep/Nap modes | Reduces quiescent current to 4 µA (Sleep) or 1.1 mA (Nap) - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like portable meters. |
| Internal 2.5 V reference with overdrive capability | Eliminates external reference IC cost and board space; overdrive support allows system-level calibration or higher-accuracy external references. |
| 3-wire SPI-compatible interface | Requires only CONV, SCK, and SDO - simplifies MCU GPIO usage and avoids MISO/MOSI complexity in resource-constrained controllers. |
| 10-lead MSOP package with exposed pad | 0.85 mm pitch, 3 mm × 3 mm footprint - enables high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IRGET | 16-bit, 1 Msps, 2.5 V supply, SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external REF and level-shifting for 3.3 V systems. | Better DC accuracy (±0.5 LSB INL), lower speed - suited for precision DC/low-frequency measurements, not real-time 3.5 Msps capture. | Select when resolution > speed; avoid if 3.5 Msps throughput or integrated reference is required. |
| AD7980BRMZ | 16-bit, 1 Msps, 2.5 V internal reference, 3-wire SPI, 10-lead MSOP - same package but slower, higher power (7 mW active). | Higher resolution but half the sampling rate and no Sleep mode - fits medium-speed instrumentation, not portable high-throughput systems. | Choose for improved static accuracy at cost of speed and power efficiency; verify thermal limits in compact enclosures. |
Compared with ADS8860IRGET and AD7980BRMZ, the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF uniquely balances 14-bit resolution, 3.5 Msps speed, 13 µW Sleep power, and integrated 2.5 V reference in a 10-lead MSOP - making it optimal for size- and power-constrained real-time acquisition where 16-bit DC precision is secondary to throughput and autonomy.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF?
The LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF is specified for commercial temperature range operation from 0°C to 70°C. This is confirmed by the "C" grade designation in the part number and the Order Information table, which lists LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF under 0°C to 70°C. Industrial-grade variants (e.g., LTC2356IMSE-14#PBF) extend to –40°C to 85°C.
Does the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.5 V internal bandgap reference (Pin 3, VREF) with ±15 ppm/°C tempco. It can operate fully self-contained with proper 10 µF bypassing. However, Pin 3 supports overdrive with an external reference from 2.55 V to VDD if higher accuracy or system-level calibration is needed.
How does the Sleep mode function on the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF?
Sleep mode on the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF reduces supply current to 4 µA and power dissipation to 13 µW. It is entered by applying four or more CONV pulses while SCK is held static (high or low). Wake-up occurs on the first SCK edge, with VREF settling in 2 ms - confirmed in Timing Characteristics Note 14 and Power Requirements table.
What is the absolute maximum input voltage range for AIN+ and AIN– on the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF?
The absolute voltage at AIN+ and AIN– must remain within –0.3 V to (VDD + 0.3 V), per Absolute Maximum Ratings. With VDD = 3.3 V, this means –0.3 V to 3.6 V. The functional differential input range is ±1.25 V (i.e., AIN+ – AIN–), while common-mode voltage may span 0 V to VDD - both specified in Analog Input section and Pin Functions.
Can the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF interface directly with a 5 V microcontroller SPI port?
No - the LTC2356CMSE-14#PBF is a 3.3 V–only device. Its digital inputs (CONV, SCK) tolerate up to VDD + 0.3 V = 3.6 V, and outputs (SDO) swing from 0 V to VDD = 3.3 V. Direct connection to a 5 V MCU SPI port risks damage and logic misreads; level translation (e.g., TXB0104) or 3.3 V–compatible MCU is required.
