Product details
Overview
LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 1 Msps pseudo-differential unipolar successive approximation register (SAR) ADC operating from a single 2.5V supply. It delivers ±0.75 LSB INL (max), guaranteed no missing codes, and 94.7 dB SNR (typ) at fIN = 2 kHz with VREF = 5 V - enabling high-fidelity data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF pinout, LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF application, or LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-lead 4 mm × 3 mm DFN package, –40°C to +85°C operating range, SPI-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain mode, and auto power-down capability scaling dissipation from 13.5 mW at 1 Msps to 13.5 µW at 1 ksps.
Technical Context
The LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF employs a charge-redistribution CDAC architecture with internal conversion clock, eliminating external timing constraints. Its pseudo-differential input stage accepts 0 V to VREF on IN+ and ±100 mV on IN–, supporting common-mode rejection of 80 dB at 500 kHz while maintaining true 16-bit resolution without pipeline delay or cycle latency.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV; BUSY goes high during conversion and returns low upon completion. The SPI-compatible serial interface supports 1.8 V to 5 V I/O logic levels via OVDD and enables daisy-chaining via CHAIN and RDL/SDI pins - allowing synchronized multi-channel sampling without additional framing overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF?
The LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 1 Msps with no cycle latency. This is guaranteed across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supported by internal timing generation - eliminating dependency on external clock sources or complex synchronization circuits. At this rate, the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF maintains ±0.75 LSB INL and 94.7 dB SNR performance.
Does the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pins (7 and 8). The reference must be stable, low-noise, and fall within 2.5 V to 5.1 V. Recommended references include the LTC6655-5 for high-precision applications. The LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF draws up to 0.7 mA from the reference at 1 Msps, so adequate decoupling (47 µF X5R ceramic) is essential to maintain accuracy.
What package type and footprint does the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF use?
The LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic DFN package measuring 4 mm × 3 mm with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 17). This RoHS-compliant package requires soldering the exposed pad directly to the PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability. Pin pitch is 0.5 mm, and the device is supplied in tape-and-reel format (TRPBF suffix).
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF?
In daisy-chain mode (CHAIN pin = high), the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF accepts serial data on RDL/SDI and shifts out its own 16-bit result on SDO in response to SCK edges - enabling multiple devices to share one SCK and one SDO line. Each device clocks its data into the next, allowing synchronized sampling and compact multi-channel readout without additional control lines. The LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF remains fully functional in this mode with identical timing specifications.
Is the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC2368 family?
Yes, the LTC2368IDE-16#TRPBF shares identical pinout and functionality with all 16-lead DFN variants (e.g., LTC2368CDE-16#TRPBF, LTC2368HDE-16#TRPBF), differing only in temperature grade (I-grade: –40°C to +85°C). All DFN-packaged LTC2368-16 parts use the same 4 mm × 3 mm footprint and pin assignment - enabling drop-in replacement across temperature grades without PCB redesign.
