Product details
Overview
LTC2367IMS-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit pseudo-differential unipolar successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with 500ksps throughput, 97dB typical SNR, ±2.5LSB max INL, and guaranteed no missing codes. It operates from a single 2.5V supply, accepts 2.5V–5.1V external reference, and targets high-precision data acquisition in compact, low-power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2367IMS-18#PBF pinout, LTC2367IMS-18#PBF application, or LTC2367IMS-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500ksps zero-latency conversion rate, 16-pin MSOP package with –40°C to +85°C operating range, SPI-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain mode, and internal conversion clock eliminating external timing constraints.
Technical Context
The LTC2367IMS-18#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a pseudo-differential input stage (IN+, IN–), where IN– serves as a ground-sense node with ±100mV range. Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV, and the internal oscillator fixes tCONV at 1.5µs max - enabling deterministic timing without external clocks.
Its SPI-compatible serial interface supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic via OVDD, features RDL/SDI dual-function pin for normal/bus-enable or chain-mode operation, and delivers straight-binary 18-bit output MSB-first on SDO. The device automatically powers down between conversions, scaling quiescent current to sampling rate - 6.8mW at 500ksps, 6.8µW at 500sps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit - delivers 262,144 discrete output levels for ultra-fine amplitude quantization. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth with no pipeline delay. |
| SNR (fIN = 2kHz) | 97dB typical - corresponds to ~12.1 effective bits (ENOB), critical for high-fidelity signal reconstruction. |
| INL (max) | ±2.5LSB - ensures monotonicity and linearity error ≤ ±48µV (at VREF = 5V), supporting precision measurement. |
| Reference Range | 2.5V to 5.1V - allows flexible full-scale adjustment; LSB size scales linearly (e.g., 19µV at 5V REF). |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (small-outline integrated circuit), 3mm × 4.9mm footprint, exposed pad not present (unlike DFN variant). Compatible with standard reflow profiles and manual soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CHAIN (1) | Mode selector | Low = normal mode (RDL/SDI = bus enable); high = daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI = serial data input). |
| VDD (2) | Analog power supply | 2.375V–2.625V supply; bypass with 10µF ceramic capacitor to GND for noise suppression. |
| GND (3,6,10,16) | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR in high-speed sampling. |
| IN+ (4) | Pseudo-differential analog input | Accepts 0V to VREF voltage relative to IN–; input capacitance = 45pF during acquisition. |
| IN– (5) | Ground sense reference | ±100mV range w.r.t. GND; must connect to system ground plane or remote ground point. |
| REF (7,8) | Reference voltage inputs | Dual-pinned for low-inductance connection; requires 47µF X5R ceramic decoupling at pin. |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger | Rising-edge initiates acquisition and conversion; minimum pulse width = 20ns. |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status indicator | High during conversion (tCONV ≈ 1.5µs); used for timing synchronization or interrupt generation. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial interface control/data | Configurable: bus enable (normal) or SDI (chain mode); logic levels referenced to OVDD. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Supports up to 100MHz clock (10ns period); controls data shift-out timing on SDO. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | MSB-first straight-binary 18-bit result; valid within 9.5ns after SCK↑ (CL = 20pF). |
| OVDD (15) | Digital I/O supply | 1.71V–5.25V logic interface supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and drives SDO/SCK/RDL. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No missing codes at 18 bits | Guaranteed monotonic transfer function across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), essential for closed-loop control. |
| Internal conversion clock | Eliminates need for external timing components; simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs. |
| Auto power-down between conversions | Reduces average power proportionally to sampling rate - e.g., drops to 6.8µW at 500sps for intermittent sensing. |
| SPI-compatible daisy-chain mode | Enables multi-channel synchronized sampling using single SCK/SDO bus - ideal for modular DAQ systems. |
| Pseudo-differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on IN+/IN– pair while maintaining unipolar 0V–VREF range - improves EMI immunity without differential drivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, 2.5V supply, SPI interface; lower resolution but higher speed and smaller 10-pin WSON package. | Best suited for applications prioritizing speed > resolution (e.g., motor control feedback) and ultra-compact layout. | Select when 16-bit ENOB suffices and PCB area is constrained; not drop-in due to different pin count and resolution. |
| AD7606C-18BSTZ | 18-bit, 1MSPS, simultaneous sampling of 8 channels, integrated analog front-end (PGA, anti-alias filter, reference); requires 5V supply. | Ideal for multi-channel industrial DAQ where channel density and analog conditioning outweigh single-channel optimization. | Choose for 8-channel synchronized acquisition; incompatible pinout and higher power (45mW) - not a direct replacement. |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and AD7606C-18BSTZ, the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF uniquely balances 18-bit precision, 500ksps zero-latency throughput, and ultra-low 6.8mW power in a single-channel MSOP package - making it optimal for space- and power-sensitive precision instrumentation where resolution and noise floor are paramount.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency supported by the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF?
The LTC2367IMS-18#PBF supports a maximum sampling frequency of 500ksps, with guaranteed timing performance across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This rate is achieved with no pipeline delay or cycle latency, meaning each conversion completes deterministically in ≤1.5µs after the CNV rising edge - enabling real-time signal capture without buffering overhead.
Does the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF require an external reference, and what voltage range is supported?
Yes, the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF requires an external reference applied to the REF pins (7 and 8). It supports a reference voltage range of 2.5V to 5.1V, allowing flexible full-scale adjustment. At 5V reference, the LSB size is 19µV; at 2.5V, it scales to 9.5µV. The device draws up to 0.32mA DC current from REF at 500ksps, necessitating proper decoupling with a 47µF X5R ceramic capacitor.
How does the pseudo-differential input architecture of the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF differ from true differential inputs?
The LTC2367IMS-18#PBF uses a pseudo-differential input: IN+ accepts 0V to VREF, while IN– serves as a ground-sense node with ±100mV range relative to GND. Unlike true differential ADCs, it does not digitize the difference between two active signals. Instead, it rejects common-mode noise on both inputs while preserving unipolar input range - simplifying front-end design and eliminating the need for matched differential drivers.
Can the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF operate with logic voltages other than 2.5V?
Yes, the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic interfaces via its OVDD pin (Pin 15), which sets the voltage thresholds for all digital I/Os (SCK, SDO, RDL/SDI, BUSY, CNV, CHAIN). This allows seamless integration with microcontrollers and FPGAs across multiple voltage domains without level-shifting circuitry.
What package type and temperature grade does the LTC2367IMS-18#PBF use?
The LTC2367IMS-18#PBF is packaged in a 16-lead plastic MSOP (mini small-outline package) with dimensions 3mm × 4.9mm and specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade). It is lead-free, RoHS-compliant, and marked "236718" on the top surface. This differs from the DFN variant (e.g., LTC2367IDE-18#PBF), which uses a 4mm × 3mm body with exposed thermal pad.
