Product details
Overview
LTC2357CLX-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, quad-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with buffered differential inputs, ±10.24V input range capability, 350ksps per channel throughput, and integrated 4.096V reference buffer. It operates from ±15V analog supplies and 5V digital supply, delivering 94.2dB SNR and ±1LSB INL in true bipolar mode - ideal for high-voltage industrial data acquisition systems requiring precise multi-channel synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2357CLX-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2357CLX-16#PBF pinout, LTC2357CLX-16#PBF application, or LTC2357CLX-16#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, SoftSpan™ configuration flexibility, CMOS/LVDS interface options, rail-to-rail overdrive tolerance, and real-world application guidance for power line monitoring, PLCs, and test equipment design.
Technical Context
The LTC2357CLX-16#PBF implements a 4-channel simultaneous sampling architecture using independent SAR converters per channel, each with picoamp-input analog buffers enabling direct connection to high-impedance sources. Its SoftSpan™ input range selection (±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, 0–5.12V) is configured per conversion via SPI register writes, not hardware pins.
It supports dual serial interfaces: pin-selectable CMOS (1.8V–5V OVDD) with 1–4 data lanes, and LVDS with differential clock/data pairs. Internal conversion clock eliminates latency, and 128dB CMRR at 200Hz ensures robust rejection of common-mode noise in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees no missing codes and full dynamic range for precision measurement applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 350ksps per channel (simultaneous) - enables real-time capture of fast transients across all four channels without time skew. |
| INL | ±1LSB max (±10.24V range) - ensures accurate end-point linearity critical for calibration-sensitive systems. |
| SNR | 94.2dB typical (fIN = 2kHz) - delivers >15.6 effective bits, supporting high-fidelity signal reconstruction. |
| Input Leakage | 5pA max (C-grade, 85°C) - minimizes loading error on high-impedance sensor outputs and passive filter networks. |
| CMRR | 128dB typical (200Hz) - suppresses common-mode interference from motor drives or switching power supplies. |
| Power Dissipation | 175mW (4-channel active) - enables thermally constrained designs without forced cooling in industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
48-lead (7mm × 7mm) plastic LQFP package (LX), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad for thermal management. Pin functions validated per Linear/ADI datasheet rev 235716f.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ / IN0– to IN3+ / IN3– | Differential analog inputs (x4) | Buffered, wide common-mode (VEE + 4V to VCC – 4V), ±12.5V overdrive tolerant - accept true bipolar or unipolar signals directly. |
| VCC / VEE | Analog supply rails | Support ±15V operation (7.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 38V, –16.5V ≤ VEE ≤ 0V); enable high-voltage signal conditioning without external level-shifting. |
| VDD / OVDD | Digital core & I/O supply | VDD = 4.75–5.25V for logic; OVDD = 1.71–5.25V (CMOS) or 2.375–5.25V (LVDS) - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| REFBUF / REFIN | Reference buffer output & input | REFBUF = 4.096V (typ), 47µF bypass required; REFIN accepts 1.25–2.2V external reference or disables internal buffer when grounded. |
| CS / SCKI / SDI / SDO0–SDO3 / BUSY / CNV | Serial interface control & data | Configurable CMOS (1–4 lane) or LVDS interface; CNV initiates conversion; BUSY indicates active conversion; no cycle latency. |
| PD | Power-down control | Active-high; reduces current to <1µA (C/I-grade) - enables low-power sleep modes between acquisition bursts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel SoftSpan™ range selection | Independent software-configurable input ranges (±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, 0–5.12V) per conversion - eliminates external gain-switching circuitry. |
| Integrated reference buffer | 4.096V output with 13kΩ input impedance and 1.5mA drive capability - powers external circuits while maintaining ADC accuracy. |
| Rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance | Withstands ±(VCC – VEE) differential overvoltage without latch-up - protects against transient surges in industrial field wiring. |
| 128dB CMRR at 200Hz | Rejects common-mode noise from variable-frequency drives or EMI-coupled ground loops - improves measurement integrity in harsh environments. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2357CLX-16#PBF?
The LTC2357CLX-16#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). This is confirmed in the "Order Information" table of the datasheet, where "LTC2357CLX-16#PBF" is explicitly listed with "0°C to 70°C" under Temperature Range. The "L" in "LX" denotes the 48-lead LQFP package, not temperature grade.
Does the LTC2357CLX-16#PBF require an external reference, or does it have an internal one?
The LTC2357CLX-16#PBF includes both an internal 2.048V reference (VREFIN) and an integrated 4.096V reference buffer (REFBUF). The REFBUF can be used directly as the ADC reference, or disabled to accept an external reference applied to the REFIN pin (1.25V–2.2V range). No external reference is required for standard operation.
Can the LTC2357CLX-16#PBF interface with a 1.8V microcontroller SPI bus?
Yes. The LTC2357CLX-16#PBF supports CMOS-level serial I/O with OVDD configurable from 1.71V to 5.25V. When OVDD = 1.8V, all digital inputs (CS, SCKI, SDI) meet 0.8×OVDD high-level and 0.2×OVDD low-level thresholds, and outputs (SDO, BUSY) are fully compatible - enabling direct connection to 1.8V logic without level shifters.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC2357CLX-16#PBF?
SoftSpan™ allows each of the four channels on the LTC2357CLX-16#PBF to be independently configured per conversion for ±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0–5.12V input ranges via SPI register writes. This is implemented in firmware - no hardware changes or external components are needed to switch ranges dynamically during operation.
What is the maximum analog input common-mode voltage range for the LTC2357CLX-16#PBF?
The LTC2357CLX-16#PBF supports a common-mode input range of VEE + 4V to VCC – 4V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables). With standard ±15V supplies (VCC = +15V, VEE = –15V), this yields –11V to +11V - sufficient for ±10.24V differential signals with margin, and compatible with arbitrary common-mode offsets up to 30VP-P.
