Product details
Overview
LTC2373HUH-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 1 Msps, 8-channel successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated 2.048 V temperature-compensated reference and programmable sequencer. It supports fully differential (±4.096 V), pseudo-differential unipolar (0 V to 4.096 V), and pseudo-differential bipolar (±2.048 V) input ranges, achieves ±2.75 LSB INL (max), 100 dB SNR (fully differential, fIN = 1 kHz), and operates across –40°C to +125°C. It is used in high-precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring low crosstalk and guaranteed no missing codes.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2373HUH-18#PBF pinout, LTC2373HUH-18#PBF application, or LTC2373HUH-18#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, thermal-grade package details (UH QFN-32, –40°C to +125°C), real-world SNR/THD performance at 1 MHz sampling, and validated alternatives for high-reliability measurement systems.
Technical Context
The LTC2373HUH-18#PBF implements a single-ended clock-driven SAR architecture with internal oscillator timing, eliminating external clock synchronization requirements. Its 8-channel multiplexer features low crosstalk (<–107 dB) and supports per-channel configuration via SPI interface with 16-deep sequencer memory.
It integrates a precision 2.048 V reference with 20 ppm/°C max drift and a buffered 4.096 V output (REFBUF), enabling direct full-scale operation without external reference components. Power management includes nap mode (40 mW typical at 1 Msps) and sleep mode (300 µW), scaling dynamically with sample rate.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead 5 mm × 5 mm plastic QFN (UH package); exposed pad (Pin 33) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 | Analog input channels | Eight single-ended inputs configurable as fully differential pairs (e.g., CH0+/CH0–) or pseudo-differential combinations with COM. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Serves as return node for pseudo-differential unipolar/bipolar modes; tied to mid-scale voltage (e.g., 0 V or 2.048 V). |
| ADCIN+, ADCIN– | Dedicated differential input pair | High-impedance, low-crosstalk path bypassing multiplexer for highest-accuracy measurements on critical signals. |
| MUXOUT+, MUXOUT– | Multiplexer output pair | Provides buffered access to selected channel output before ADC core-enables external signal monitoring or conditioning. |
| CNV | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input initiating sample-and-hold; supports precise timing control independent of SPI interface. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output signaling conversion progress-enables interrupt-driven firmware without polling. |
| SDO, SDI, SCK, RDL | SPI-compatible serial interface | Supports 1.8 V to 5 V I/O logic; RDL enables 3-wire shared-bus operation; SDO is tri-state controllable. |
| REFIN, REFBUF | Reference input/buffer output | REFIN accepts 1.25 V–2.4 V external reference; REFBUF delivers 4.096 V (±8 mV) with 13 kΩ output impedance. |
| VDD, OVDD, GND | Power supplies | VDD = 4.75–5.25 V analog supply; OVDD = 1.71–5.25 V digital I/O supply; multiple GND pins ensure low-noise grounding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable 16-deep sequencer | Enables automatic round-robin or custom channel scanning without host CPU intervention-reduces firmware overhead in PLCs. |
| Selectible digital gain compression | Configures output code scaling to match downstream DSP/FPGA bit-width constraints-preserves dynamic range without truncation loss. |
| No pipeline delay / zero cycle latency | Delivers first valid conversion result within one sample period-critical for closed-loop control with tight timing budgets. |
| Onboard reference buffer (REFBUF) | Drives external circuitry (e.g., sensor excitation, anti-alias filter) with stable 4.096 V output-eliminates need for discrete op-amp buffer stages. |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C | Validated performance over full H-grade temperature range-enables deployment in engine control units and power inverters without derating. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IRGET | 16-bit, 1 Msps, 1-channel, SPI, 2.5 V supply only; no internal reference; requires external REF. | Limited to single-channel systems; lacks multiplexer, sequencer, and temperature grade - unsuitable for multi-sensor industrial use. | Choose when board space is extremely constrained and only one high-speed channel is needed with external reference control. |
| AD7606C-18BSTZ | 18-bit, 1 Msps, 8-channel, parallel/SPI, ±5 V input, integrated reference; but rated only to +85°C (I-grade). | Matches channel count and resolution but lacks extended temperature qualification - not certified for 125°C operation. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial automation where ambient temperature stays below 85°C and parallel interface is preferred. |
Compared with ADS8860IRGET and AD7606C-18BSTZ, the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF uniquely combines H-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +125°C), integrated 2.048 V reference with buffer, and programmable sequencer in a 5 mm × 5 mm QFN-making it the only drop-in solution for thermally demanding, multi-channel, self-contained precision DAQ designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature of the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF?
The LTC2373HUH-18#PBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting the H-grade specification. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet (page 3), where "LTC2373H" explicitly denotes the –40°C to +125°C temperature range. The UH package's thermal design supports reliable performance at junction temperatures up to 125°C.
Does the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF includes an onboard 2.048 V temperature-compensated reference with ≤20 ppm/°C drift and a buffered 4.096 V output (REFBUF). External reference is optional only if higher accuracy or different voltage levels are required-REFIN accepts 1.25 V to 2.4 V inputs, but the internal reference is fully functional and factory-trimmed for standalone operation.
How many analog input channels does the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF support?
The LTC2373HUH-18#PBF supports eight analog input channels (CH0–CH7), configurable as fully differential pairs, pseudo-differential unipolar, or pseudo-differential bipolar inputs using the integrated low-crosstalk multiplexer. The device also provides dedicated ADCIN+/ADCIN– pins for highest-accuracy single-channel measurements bypassing the mux.
What is the SNR performance of the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF at 1 Msps?
At 1 Msps and fIN = 1 kHz, the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF achieves 100 dB SNR (typical) in fully differential mode and 95 dB SNR (typical) in pseudo-differential mode, as specified in the Dynamic Accuracy table (page 4). These values are measured with REFIN = 2.048 V and are guaranteed over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range.
Is the LTC2373HUH-18#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC2373 family?
Yes, all LTC2373-18 variants-including LTC2373CUH-18#PBF (C-grade), LTC2373IUH-18#PBF (I-grade), and LTC2373HUH-18#PBF (H-grade)-share identical 32-lead 5 mm × 5 mm QFN (UH) packaging and pinout. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed in the Pin Configuration diagram (page 2) and Order Information table (page 3) of the datasheet.
