Product details
Overview
LTC2372CUH-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 500ksps, 8-channel successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with ±1LSB INL (max), 96dB SNR (fully differential), and integrated 2.048V temperature-compensated reference. It operates from a single 5V supply, supports fully differential (±4.096V), pseudo-differential unipolar (0–4.096V), and bipolar (±2.048V) input ranges, and is used in high-precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring low crosstalk and no missing codes.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2372CUH-16#PBF pinout, LTC2372CUH-16#PBF application, or LTC2372CUH-16#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios in PLCs and ATE, and two confirmed alternative ADCs with documented functional and application-level differences - all aligned to the C-grade (0°C to 70°C) QFN-32 variant.
Technical Context
The LTC2372CUH-16#PBF implements a true SAR architecture with no pipeline delay or cycle latency, enabling deterministic conversion timing (1.5µs max). Its highly configurable 8-channel multiplexer supports per-channel input range selection and includes programmable sequencer logic (16-deep) and digital gain compression for dynamic range optimization.
It integrates a low-drift (20ppm/°C max) internal reference buffer driving a stable 4.096V output, accepts external reference inputs (REFIN), and features SPI-compatible serial I/O compatible with 1.8V–5V logic levels. Power management includes nap mode (27mW at 500ksps) and sleep mode (300µW), with guaranteed operation up to 125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - ensures full dynamic range utilization without code gaps in precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps maximum - supports high-speed transient capture in automated test equipment and process control loops. |
| INL | ±1LSB (max) across all input ranges - guarantees monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity for calibration-critical systems. |
| SNR | 96dB (fully differential, fIN = 1kHz) - enables >15.6 effective bits of resolution in noise-sensitive sensor interfaces. |
| Input Ranges | Fully differential (±4.096V), pseudo-differential unipolar (0–4.096V), pseudo-differential bipolar (±2.048V) - simplifies front-end design across diverse signal types. |
| Reference | Onboard 2.048V temp-compensated reference + buffered 4.096V output - eliminates need for external reference IC in space-constrained designs. |
| Power | 27mW at 500ksps (nap mode); 300µW in sleep - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or thermally constrained instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
32-lead 5mm × 5mm plastic QFN package (UH) with exposed pad soldered to PCB ground. Pin 33 is the exposed thermal pad, electrically connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 | Analog input channels | Eight single-ended or differential-capable inputs; selected via internal multiplexer under sequencer or manual control. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Return node for pseudo-differential configurations; sets common-mode voltage for channel pairs. |
| ADCIN+, ADCIN– | Differential analog input | Primary high-precision input pair for fully differential mode; accepts ±4.096V differential swing. |
| MUXOUT+, MUXOUT– | Multiplexer output | Buffered outputs of selected channel pair; used for external monitoring or signal conditioning. |
| CNV | Conversion start trigger | Edge-triggered input initiating sample-and-hold and conversion sequence; asynchronous to SCK. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain signal indicating ongoing conversion; used for timing synchronization without polling. |
| SDO, SDI, SCK, RDL | SPI interface signals | Full-duplex serial interface supporting 1.8V–5V I/O; RDL enables tri-state control of SDO for daisy-chaining. |
| REFIN, REFBUF | Reference inputs/outputs | REFIN accepts external 1.25–2.4V reference; REFBUF provides 4.096V buffered output (disable when overdriven). |
| VDD, OVDD, GND | Power supplies | VDD = 4.75–5.25V analog supply; OVDD = 1.71–5.25V I/O supply; multiple GND pins minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Zero-cycle latency enables real-time closed-loop control with immediate access to converted data. |
| Programmable 16-deep sequencer | Automates multi-channel acquisition order and input range selection without host CPU intervention. |
| Selectable digital gain compression | Adjusts effective full-scale range digitally to improve SNR for small-signal measurements. |
| Channel-to-channel crosstalk < –107dB | Ensures isolation between active and inactive channels during high-speed multiplexed sampling. |
| Aperture jitter = 4psRMS | Minimizes sampling uncertainty, preserving SFDR > 110dB even at Nyquist frequencies. |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C | Validated performance across extended industrial temperature range without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IRGET | 16-bit, 1MSPS, single-channel, no internal reference, requires external 4.096V ref; SPI interface only. | Best suited for single-input, ultra-high-speed applications where multiplexing and reference integration are unnecessary. | Select when higher speed is critical and system already provides precision reference; not drop-in due to missing 8-channel mux and internal ref. |
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5MSPS, pseudo-differential only, no internal reference, LVDS/CMOS dual interface; requires external 5V ref. | Targeted at high-resolution, high-throughput applications like medical imaging where 18-bit depth outweighs channel count. | Choose for enhanced resolution and speed; requires redesign of reference, power, and digital interface - not pin- or function-compatible. |
Compared with LTC2372CUH-16#PBF, ADS8860IRGET offers higher speed but sacrifices channel count and reference integration, while AD7960BCPZ-RL7 delivers 2 extra bits and 10× throughput at the cost of increased complexity, power, and external component requirements - making LTC2372CUH-16#PBF optimal for compact, self-contained 8-channel industrial DAQ.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF?
The LTC2372CUH-16#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (commercial grade). This is explicitly defined in the Order Information table and confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings. The 'C' suffix in the part number denotes this temperature grade, distinct from the 'I' (–40°C to 85°C) and 'H' (–40°C to 125°C) variants. All electrical specifications in the datasheet labeled with 'l' apply across this full range.
Does the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF does not require an external reference. It integrates a 2.048V temperature-compensated internal reference and a reference buffer that outputs 4.096V. The REFIN pin is optional and can accept an external 1.25V–2.4V reference if higher precision or different voltage is needed; otherwise, the internal reference is enabled by default and sufficient for most applications.
How many analog input channels does the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF support?
The LTC2372CUH-16#PBF supports eight analog input channels (CH0 through CH7), implemented via a low-crosstalk multiplexer. These channels can be configured in fully differential, pseudo-differential unipolar, or pseudo-differential bipolar modes. The device also provides dedicated ADCIN+/ADCIN– and MUXOUT+/MUXOUT– pins for direct differential input and multiplexer output monitoring.
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF?
The maximum sampling rate of the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF is 500ksps (500,000 samples per second), as specified in the ADC Timing Characteristics table under fSMPL. This rate is achievable across all supported input ranges and temperature conditions within its 0°C to 70°C operating range, with conversion time limited to 1.5µs maximum.
Is the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC2372 family?
Yes, the LTC2372CUH-16#PBF is pin-compatible with the LTC2372IUH-16#PBF and LTC2372HUH-16#PBF - all share the identical 32-lead 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH) package and identical pinout. The only differences are operating temperature grade and associated screening; electrical functionality, pin assignments, and footprint are identical across C, I, and H versions.
