Product details
Overview
LTC2369IDE-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 1.6 Msps pseudo-differential unipolar successive approximation register (SAR) ADC operating from a single 2.5 V supply. It delivers 96.5 dB typical SNR, ±2.5 LSB maximum INL, and guaranteed no missing codes at full 18-bit resolution, with VREF support from 2.5 V to 5.1 V. It targets high-speed, low-power data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2369IDE-18#PBF pinout, LTC2369IDE-18#PBF application, or LTC2369IDE-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes operation over –40°C to +85°C, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility with 1.8 V–5 V logic, internal conversion clock eliminating external timing constraints, and ultra-low 18 mW power consumption at full throughput.
Technical Context
The LTC2369IDE-18#PBF employs a charge-redistribution CDAC architecture with pseudo-differential sampling, where IN+ accepts 0 V to VREF input while IN– serves as ground-sense reference within ±100 mV of GND. Its internal oscillator fixes tCONV at 360–412 ns, enabling zero-cycle-latency operation and deterministic timing independent of host controller clocks.
It features dual-supply operation: 2.5 V (±62.5 mV) for analog core (VDD) and programmable 1.71–5.25 V for digital I/O (OVDD), allowing seamless interfacing with mixed-voltage systems. Auto power-down between conversions reduces current draw to 0.9 μA, scaling linearly with sample rate - 18 μW at 1.6 ksps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function and full 262,144-level quantization without missing codes. |
| Sampling Rate | 1.6 Msps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 34 MHz input bandwidth (–3 dB) with no pipeline delay. |
| SNR (fIN = 2 kHz) | 96.5 dB typical - corresponds to effective resolution >16.4 bits and supports high-fidelity signal digitization. |
| INL (max) | ±2.5 LSB - ensures accurate end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control and calibration-sensitive applications. |
| Power (1.6 Msps) | 18 mW total - achieved via 7.2–8.6 mA VDD current and 0.7–0.9 mA OVDD current, enabling battery-operated designs. |
| VREF Range | 2.5 V to 5.1 V - allows flexible full-scale adjustment; LSB size = 19 μV at 5 V reference. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments; H-grade variants extend to +125°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND, must be soldered to PCB).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CHAIN (1) | Mode selector | High enables daisy-chain SPI mode (RDL/SDI becomes serial input); low enables normal bus-enable mode. |
| VDD (2) | Analog core supply | 2.5 V ±62.5 mV supply; bypass with 10 μF ceramic capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
| GND (3,6,10,16) | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce; exposed pad (Pin 17) is additional GND connection. |
| IN+ (4) | Pseudo-differential input (+) | Accepts 0 V to VREF input; sees ~45 pF capacitance and 40 Ω switch resistance during acquisition. |
| IN– (5) | Pseudo-differential input (–) | Ground-sense node; input range ±100 mV relative to GND; must connect to system ground or remote sense point. |
| REF (7,8) | Reference voltage input | Dual-pin connection for 2.5–5.1 V external reference; requires 47 μF X5R ceramic decoupling at pin. |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger | Rising edge initiates conversion and powers up ADC; no minimum pulse width required beyond 20 ns high time. |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; asserts at CNV↑, deasserts when 18-bit result is ready on SDO. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial interface control/data | In normal mode: bus enable; in chain mode: serial data input for daisy-chained configurations. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Accepts 100 MHz max clock (10 ns period); controls MSB-first readout timing of SDO data. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | Three-state output; drives straight-binary 18-bit result on rising SCK edges; valid 9.5 ns after SCK↑. |
| OVDD (15) | I/O interface supply | 1.71–5.25 V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and enables interoperability with 1.8/2.5/3.3/5 V hosts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No missing codes at 18 bits | Guaranteed over full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), ensuring monotonicity in precision control loops. |
| Internal conversion clock | Eliminates need for external timing circuitry; fixes conversion time to 360–412 ns regardless of host clock jitter. |
| Daisy-chain SPI mode | Enables synchronous multi-ADC acquisition with single SCK and SDO lines - reduces PCB routing complexity. |
| Auto power-down | Reduces quiescent current to 0.9 μA between conversions; power scales linearly with sample rate for energy efficiency. |
| Pseudo-differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on IN+/IN– pair while maintaining unipolar 0 V to VREF range - simplifies front-end design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5 Msps, differential input only; requires external reference; consumes 39 mW at full speed. | Higher throughput but lacks pseudo-differential unipolar flexibility; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and interface protocol. | Select when >1.6 Msps sampling is mandatory and differential sensor interfaces dominate the system architecture. |
| LTC2378-18#PBF | 18-bit, 1 Msps, same family architecture; lower power (12 mW), no daisy-chain mode, identical DFN package. | Reduced throughput and missing chain mode limit multi-ADC synchronization; otherwise pin-compatible and software-compatible. | Choose for cost-optimized, lower-throughput systems where daisy-chain is unnecessary and 1 Msps suffices. |
Compared with AD7960BCPZ-RL7 and LTC2378-18#PBF, the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF uniquely balances 1.6 Msps speed, pseudo-differential unipolar input flexibility, daisy-chain capability, and ultra-low 18 mW power - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware, multi-channel industrial and portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF?
The LTC2369IDE-18#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range is validated across all electrical specifications including INL (±2.5 LSB max), SNR (96.5 dB typical), and power consumption (18 mW at 1.6 Msps). The "I" grade designation in the part number explicitly confirms this extended temperature qualification.
Does the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF require an external reference, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF requires an external reference applied to the REF pins (7 and 8). The supported reference voltage range is 2.5 V to 5.1 V. Operation outside this range violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. At 5 V reference, the LSB size is 19 μV; at 2.5 V, it is 9.5 μV - enabling flexible full-scale optimization.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF?
Daisy-chain mode is enabled by driving the CHAIN pin (1) high. In this mode, RDL/SDI (12) becomes a serial data input, allowing multiple LTC2369IDE-18#PBF devices to share one SCK and SDO line. Each device shifts its 18-bit result into the next, enabling synchronized multi-channel acquisition without additional GPIOs or timing skew.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF at reduced sampling rates?
The LTC2369IDE-18#PBF features automatic power-down between conversions. At 1.6 ksps, it draws only 18 μW total (0.9 μA per supply). Power scales linearly with sample rate - e.g., at 160 ksps, consumption is ~1.8 mW. This behavior is inherent to the architecture and requires no software configuration.
Is the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2369 family?
Yes, the LTC2369IDE-18#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all DFN-package variants (e.g., LTC2369CDE-18#PBF, LTC2369HDE-18#PBF), differing only in temperature grade and screening. All DFN versions use the same 16-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND), enabling direct replacement in existing layouts.
