Product details
Overview
LTC2357HLX-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, quad-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with picoamp-input buffered differential inputs, ±10.24V true bipolar input range, and 350ksps per channel throughput. It features integrated 4.096V reference buffer, 128dB CMRR, ±3.5LSB INL (max), and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial and high-reliability power monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2357HLX-18#PBF pinout, LTC2357HLX-18#PBF application, or LTC2357HLX-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel SoftSpan™ reconfigurable input ranges (±10.24V/0–10.24V/±5.12V/0–5.12V), rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance, LVDS/CMOS serial interface flexibility, and H-grade temperature qualification.
Technical Context
The LTC2357HLX-18#PBF implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with four independent analog front-ends, each incorporating low-leakage picoamp-input buffers enabling direct connection to high-impedance sensors without external signal conditioning. Its wide common-mode input range (VEE + 4V to VCC – 4V, up to 30VP-P) supports direct digitization of signals referenced to non-ground potentials.
Conversion control uses a single CNV pulse per sample cycle with no latency; internal clock generation eliminates external timing components. Input configuration is dynamically selectable per conversion via SPI register writes, supporting mixed-range acquisition across channels - e.g., one channel in ±10.24V mode while another samples 0–5.12V - without hardware reconfiguration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit, guaranteed no missing codes - ensures full dynamic range utilization in precision measurement without code gaps. |
| Sampling Rate | 350ksps per channel (4-channel simultaneous) - enables real-time capture of fast transients in power line monitoring and motor control. |
| INL (Max) | ±3.5LSB at ±10.24V range - limits absolute accuracy error to ±140μV, critical for calibration-critical instrumentation. |
| SNR (Typ) | 96.4dB at fIN = 2kHz - delivers >15.7 effective number of bits (ENOB), suitable for high-fidelity signal analysis. |
| Input Leakage (H-grade) | 500pA max at 85°C, 12nA max at 125°C - preserves signal integrity when interfacing with megaohm-level sensor sources. |
| CMRR (Typ) | 128dB at 200Hz - rejects common-mode noise from noisy industrial environments such as variable-frequency drives. |
| Interface | Pin-selectable SPI CMOS (1.8–5V) or LVDS - allows layout optimization: CMOS for short-board connections, LVDS for noise-immune long traces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead (7mm × 7mm) plastic LQFP (LX package), RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel SoftSpan™ input range selection | Software-configurable ±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0–5.12V per conversion - eliminates need for external gain-switching circuitry in multi-signal systems. |
| Rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance | Withstands analog inputs up to VEE – 0.3V and VCC + 0.3V without damage or conversion corruption - simplifies protection design in unpredictable field environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision, multi-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-18 | 18-bit, 8-channel, 1MSPS, internal reference, but only ±10V fixed range (no SoftSpan™); 68-pin LQFP; requires external oversampling for equivalent SNR. | Higher channel count and speed, but lacks per-channel range flexibility and lower input leakage (1nA typ). | Select AD7606C-18 when needing >4 channels or >350ksps, accepting fixed input ranges and higher power (220mW). |
| ADS8684 | 18-bit, 4-channel, 500ksps, integrated PGA (±10.24V/±5.12V/±2.56V), but no LVDS option; 64-pin TQFP; 1.5LSB INL (typ) at ±10.24V. | Includes programmable gain amplifier for sensor scaling, but lacks simultaneous sampling and has lower CMRR (100dB). | Select ADS8684 when sensor signal conditioning (gain/offset) is required on-chip and LVDS immunity is not mandatory. |
Compared with AD7606C-18 and ADS8684, the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF uniquely combines per-channel SoftSpan™ reconfigurability, 128dB CMRR, and H-grade temperature rating in a 48-pin LQFP - making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-prone, and thermally demanding industrial DAQ where input signal diversity and robustness are prioritized over raw speed or channel count.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF?
The LTC2357HLX-18#PBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting the H-grade specification defined in the datasheet. This extends beyond standard industrial grade (–40°C to +85°C) and qualifies the device for under-hood automotive subsystems, downhole oilfield tools, and high-ambient industrial controllers where thermal margin is critical. The LTC2357HLX-18#PBF maintains full performance specifications including ±3.5LSB INL and 96.4dB SNR across this entire range.
Does the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF includes an integrated 4.096V reference buffer (REFBUF) that can be used directly as the ADC reference. The internal reference output is specified at 4.091V to 4.101V (typ 4.096V) with 5ppm/°C temperature coefficient. An external reference may be applied via REFIN (1.25–2.2V range), but doing so requires disabling the internal buffer by setting REFIN = 0V - a configuration explicitly documented in the datasheet for the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF?
The SoftSpan™ feature on the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF allows each of the four input channels to be independently configured - on a per-conversion basis - for one of eight input ranges: ±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, 0–5.12V, ±12.5V, 0–12.5V, ±6.25V, or 0–6.25V. Configuration is performed via SPI register writes before each conversion, enabling dynamic range adaptation without hardware changes. This capability is intrinsic to the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF's architecture and is validated across its full temperature range.
What is the maximum input common-mode voltage range supported by the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF?
The LTC2357HLX-18#PBF supports an input common-mode voltage range of VEE + 4V to VCC – 4V, which - with typical supplies of VCC = +15V and VEE = –15V - yields a usable range of –11V to +11V (30VP-P). This wide common-mode capability enables direct digitization of signals referenced to arbitrary bias points, such as floating current shunts or isolated amplifier outputs, without level-shifting circuitry. The 128dB CMRR at 200Hz ensures rejection of noise within this range.
Can the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF interface directly with an FPGA using LVDS?
Yes, the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF supports pin-selectable LVDS serial output with differential voltage swing of 275–425mV into 100Ω termination, common-mode voltage of 1.1–1.3V, and timing parameters fully compatible with Xilinx and Intel FPGA LVDS receivers. The device provides dedicated SCKO+/– and SDO+/– pairs with skew controlled to ±0.4ns, enabling reliable high-speed data capture at 350ksps/channel without external level translators. This LVDS mode is a native, production-validated interface for the LTC2357HLX-18#PBF.
