Product details
Overview
LTC2357ILX-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 input range, 350ksps/ch throughput, and integrated 4.096V reference buffer. It operates from ±15V analog supplies and 5V digital supply, supports SPI CMOS/LVDS interfaces, and targets high-precision industrial voltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2357ILX-18#PBF pinout, LTC2357ILX-18#PBF application, or LTC2357ILX-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel SoftSpan configuration, 128dB CMRR at 200Hz, ±3.5LSB INL over ±10.24V range, rail-to-rail input overdrive tolerance, and 48-lead LQFP package thermal performance at –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2357ILX-18#PBF implements a true 4-channel simultaneous sampling architecture using independent S/H circuits per channel, enabling synchronized acquisition across all inputs without inter-channel skew. Its SoftSpan™ input range selection allows per-conversion configuration of ±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0–5.12V on each channel via register control.
It integrates picoamp-input analog buffers with >1000GΩ input resistance and 3pF capacitance, supporting direct connection to high-impedance sensors while maintaining 96.4dB SNR and –110dB THD at 2kHz. The internal reference buffer delivers 4.096V with 5ppm/°C tempco and supports external overdrive up to 5V.

48-lead plastic LQFP (7mm × 7mm, LX package), exposed pad, RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ / IN0– to IN3+ / IN3– | Differential analog inputs (4 channels) | Accept ±10.24V signals with 30VP-P common mode range; rail-to-rail overdrive tolerance prevents latch-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-18 | 18-bit, 8-channel, 1MSPS, parallel/serial interface; requires external reference; 64-lead LQFP. | Higher channel count and speed but larger footprint and no integrated reference buffer. | Select for systems needing >4 channels or faster sampling; accept added BOM cost and layout complexity for external reference. |
| ADS8684 | 18-bit, 4-channel, 500ksps, single-supply (5V), integrated PGA; SPI-only; 48-QFN. | Lower analog supply complexity (no ±V rails), but lacks simultaneous sampling and has lower CMRR (105dB). | Select for space-constrained, single-supply designs where simultaneous sampling is not required and common-mode noise is minimal. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF?
The LTC2357ILX-18#PBF achieves 350ksps per channel when all four channels are enabled simultaneously. If fewer channels are active, the per-channel rate increases: 425ksps (3 channels), 550ksps (2 channels), and 800ksps (1 channel). This scalability is achieved through internal resource allocation without changing the conversion architecture or timing constraints of the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF.
Does the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF includes an integrated 4.096V reference buffer (REFBUF) with 5ppm/°C temperature coefficient and supports external overdrive between 2.5V and 5V. When REFIN is grounded, the internal buffer is disabled, allowing use of an external reference - but the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF functions fully with its internal reference for most precision applications.
What is the input common mode voltage range supported by the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF?
The LTC2357ILX-18#PBF supports a 30VP-P common mode range, specified as VEE + 4V to VCC – 4V. With standard ±15V supplies, this yields –11V to +11V common mode - enabling direct connection to industrial sensors and transducers without level-shifting circuitry. The LTC2357ILX-18#PBF maintains 128dB CMRR at 200Hz across this full range.
How does the SoftSpan™ feature work on the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF?
SoftSpan™ allows per-conversion, per-channel configuration of input ranges: ±10.24V, 0–10.24V, ±5.12V, or 0–5.12V - selected via SPI register writes. Each channel's range is independently set, enabling mixed-signal acquisition (e.g., one channel measuring ±10V motor voltage, another reading 0–5V temperature sensor) without hardware reconfiguration. This flexibility is intrinsic to the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF's architecture.
What digital interface options does the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF support?
The LTC2357ILX-18#PBF supports both SPI CMOS (1.8V–5V logic levels) and LVDS serial interfaces, selectable via pin configuration. In CMOS mode, 1–4 data lanes can be used for throughput optimization; in LVDS mode, differential signaling provides noise immunity for longer traces or noisy environments. Both interfaces share the same command protocol, ensuring software compatibility across physical layer choices for the LTC2357ILX-18#PBF.
