Product details
Overview
LTC2364IDE-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 typical SNR, ±2.5LSB maximum INL, and guaranteed no missing codes at full 18-bit resolution, with VREF support from 2.5V to 5.1V. It is engineered for high-speed, low-power data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2364IDE-18#PBF pinout, LTC2364IDE-18#PBF application, or LTC2364IDE-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250ksps throughput with zero cycle latency, internal conversion clock eliminating external timing constraints, and dual-supply flexibility (2.5V VDD + 1.8V–5V OVDD) enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage digital systems.
Technical Context
The LTC2364IDE-18#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a pseudo-differential input stage, where IN+ accepts 0V to VREF and IN– operates as a ground-sense node with ±100mV range. Its internal oscillator fixes conversion time at 1.9–3µs, ensuring deterministic timing without external clock dependencies.
It features SPI-compatible serial I/O supporting daisy-chain mode, 1.8V–5V logic-level compatibility via OVDD, and automatic power-down between conversions-reducing current draw to 0.9µA in shutdown while maintaining full 18-bit linearity across –40°C to +85°C.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum VREF voltage for the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF?
The absolute maximum VREF voltage for the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF is 6V, though the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 5.1V. Exceeding 6V may cause permanent damage. The device guarantees full 18-bit performance across the 2.5V–5.1V range, with SNR degrading slightly at the lower end (91.5dB typical at 2.5V VREF vs. 97dB at 5V).
Does the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF require external clocking for conversion timing?
No, the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF does not require an external clock for conversion timing. It integrates an internal oscillator that sets the conversion time to 1.9–3µs, eliminating external timing dependencies. Only the SCK signal is needed for serial data readout, and the CNV rising edge initiates each conversion autonomously.
Can the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF operate with different supply voltages on VDD and OVDD?
Yes, the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF supports independent supplies: VDD must be 2.375V–2.625V (nominal 2.5V), while OVDD ranges from 1.71V to 5.25V. This allows interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers or 3.3V FPGAs without level shifters. Pin logic thresholds scale with OVDD (VIH = 0.8×OVDD, VIL = 0.2×OVDD).
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND. It must be soldered directly to the PCB ground plane to ensure proper thermal dissipation (θJA = 40°C/W) and reduce noise coupling. Leaving it unconnected degrades SNR by up to 3dB and risks thermal overstress at full throughput.
How does the LTC2364IDE-18#PBF handle power-down between conversions?
The LTC2364IDE-18#PBF automatically enters power-down mode after conversion completion, reducing total supply current to 0.9µA. Power-up is triggered by the next CNV rising edge, with full functionality restored within 20µs. This feature scales power consumption linearly with sampling rate-e.g., at 250sps, power drops to 3.4µW-ideal for duty-cycled sensing.
