Product details
Overview
LTC2368HMS-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit pseudo-differential unipolar successive approximation register (SAR) ADC optimized for high-speed, low-noise data acquisition. It operates from a single 2.5V supply, supports 0V to VREF input range (VREF = 2.5V–5.1V), delivers 1Msps throughput with no pipeline delay, achieves ±0.75LSB INL max and 94.7dB SNR (typ), and is rated for operation from –40°C to 125°C in the MSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2368HMS-16#PBF pinout, LTC2368HMS-16#PBF application, or LTC2368HMS-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes performance, H-grade temperature capability, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface, internal conversion clock, and ultra-low power dissipation (13.5mW at 1Msps).
Technical Context
The LTC2368HMS-16#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator, sampling pseudo-differential inputs (IN+, IN–) during acquisition and executing binary-search conversion without latency. Its internal oscillator eliminates external clock dependency, and auto power-down between conversions scales current draw with sampling rate.
It features dual supply domains: 2.5V analog core (VDD) and flexible 1.71V–5.25V digital I/O (OVDD), enabling interoperability with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V host logic. The CHAIN pin enables daisy-chain mode for multi-ADC systems, while BUSY and CNV provide precise timing control for synchronous sampling.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (5.0 mm × 4.4 mm), exposed pad not present (DFN variant has exposed GND pad; MSOP does not). Thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CHAIN (1) | Mode selector | High = daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI becomes serial data input); low = normal mode (RDL/SDI enables SDO bus). |
| VDD (2) | Analog supply | 2.375 V–2.625 V; powers SAR core and reference buffer; requires 10 µF ceramic bypass to GND. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF?
The LTC2368HMS-16#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 1 Msps, with guaranteed timing parameters (tCYC = 1 µs, tCONV = 527 ns max) specified over its full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This rate is maintained without pipeline delay or cycle latency, enabling true real-time acquisition for control and measurement systems.
Does the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF integrates an internal oscillator that sets conversion timing, eliminating the need for an external clock. The SCK pin is used solely for serial data transfer timing and supports up to 100 MHz; it does not control the ADC core conversion clock.
What is the purpose of the CHAIN pin on the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF?
The CHAIN pin on the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF configures the device for daisy-chain operation when driven high, allowing multiple LTC2368HMS-16#PBF units to share a single SCK and SDO line. In this mode, RDL/SDI functions as SDI, enabling compact multi-channel designs without additional GPIO or bus expanders.
Can the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF operate with a 3.3V digital interface?
Yes, the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF supports 1.71 V to 5.25 V OVDD, making it fully compatible with 3.3 V logic systems. All digital inputs (CNV, BUSY, SCK, RDL/SDI) and outputs (SDO) are referenced to OVDD, ensuring reliable communication without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the auto power-down feature reduce power consumption in the LTC2368HMS-16#PBF?
The LTC2368HMS-16#PBF automatically enters low-power shutdown between conversions, drawing only 0.9 µA (typ) in power-down mode. At 1 kSPS, this reduces total power from 13.5 mW to 13.5 µW-enabling energy-efficient operation in battery-powered instrumentation without sacrificing 16-bit accuracy or 1 Msps burst capability.
