Product details
Overview
LTC2364HMS-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 250ksps pseudo-differential unipolar successive approximation register (SAR) ADC operating from a single 2.5V supply. It delivers 97dB SNR (typ), ±2.5LSB INL (max), and guaranteed no missing codes at 18 bits, with VREF support from 2.5V to 5.1V. Designed for high-precision, low-power data acquisition in harsh thermal environments, it serves medical imaging front-ends and industrial process control systems requiring stable performance up to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2364HMS-18#PBF pinout, LTC2364HMS-18#PBF application, or LTC2364HMS-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its H-grade temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), 3.4mW power consumption at full throughput, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface, and absence of pipeline delay - all critical for deterministic real-time sampling in embedded instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LTC2364HMS-18#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with internal conversion clock, eliminating external timing dependencies. Its pseudo-differential input stage accepts 0V to VREF on IN+ with IN– referenced to GND (±100mV range), enabling common-mode noise rejection without true differential signaling overhead.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV; BUSY asserts high during acquisition and conversion (tCONV ≤ 3µs), then deasserts to signal result readiness. The SPI-compatible serial interface supports 1.8V–5V OVDD logic levels, daisy-chain mode via CHAIN/RDL/SDI, and MSB-first straight-binary output - all fully specified across the –40°C to 125°C operating range.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CHAIN (1) | Mode selector | High enables daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI becomes serial data input); low enables normal bus-enable mode. |
| VDD (2) | Analog supply | 2.5V ±62.5mV supply for core ADC; requires 10µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| GND (3,6,10,16) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR in high-speed operation. |
| IN+ (4) | Analog input (+) | Pseudo-differential input with 0V to VREF range; sees 45pF capacitance and 40Ω switch resistance during acquisition. |
| IN– (5) | Analog ground sense | Common-mode reference pin; must be tied to PCB ground plane or remote ground point (±100mV range). |

| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial I/O control / data input | In normal mode: bus enable; in chain mode: serial data input for daisy-chained configurations. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock | Input clock for SPI interface; supports up to 100MHz (tSCK ≥ 10ns); determines data shift timing. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | MSB-first straight-binary output; valid within 9.5ns of SCK↑ (CL = 20pF); compatible with 1.8V–5V OVDD. |
| OVDD (15) | I/O supply | 1.71V–5.25V digital interface supply; sets logic thresholds for all digital pins (VIH/VIL = 0.8/0.2 × OVDD). |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2364HMS-18#PBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to 125°C (H-grade), with all electrical specifications guaranteed across this full range. This makes the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF suitable for under-hood automotive sensing, industrial control cabinets, and downhole instrumentation where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial or industrial grades.
Does the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF require an external reference, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF requires an external reference applied to the REF pins (7 and 8). The reference voltage must be between 2.5V and 5.1V, and must be decoupled with a 47µF X5R ceramic capacitor placed close to the REF pins. The LTC2364HMS-18#PBF draws reference current that scales with sampling rate, peaking at 0.2mA at 250ksps.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF?
Daisy-chain mode is enabled by driving the CHAIN pin (1) high. In this mode, RDL/SDI becomes a serial data input, allowing multiple LTC2364HMS-18#PBF devices to share one SPI bus. Conversion results cascade through the chain on SDO, with timing governed by tSCKCH (≥13.5ns). This reduces microcontroller pin count and simplifies multi-channel synchronization without external logic.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF at 250ksps and in power-down mode?
At 250ksps, the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF consumes 3.4mW total (1.7mA from VDD + 0.9mA from OVDD + 0.2mA reference current). In power-down mode (no conversions), supply current drops to 0.9µA (typ), reducing power to 2.25µW - ideal for wake-on-event architectures in battery-powered systems using the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF.
Is the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC2364-18 family?
Yes, the LTC2364HMS-18#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all MSOP-packaged LTC2364-18 variants (e.g., LTC2364CMS-18#PBF, LTC2364IMS-18#PBF). Only the temperature grade differs: C-grade (0°C–70°C), I-grade (–40°C–85°C), and H-grade (–40°C–125°C). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from I-grade to H-grade for enhanced thermal reliability.
