Product details
Overview
LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with ±0.5LSB INL max, 97dB SNR at 2kHz, and fully differential ±VREF input range (2.5V–5.1V). It operates from a single 2.5V supply, consumes only 3.4mW at full speed, and features digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier interfacing - used in high-speed data acquisition and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF pinout, LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF application, or LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility, internal conversion clock, 125°C-rated H-grade variants, and DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference.
Technical Context
The LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF implements a charge redistribution capacitor DAC (CDAC) architecture with differential comparator and 16-bit successive approximation logic. Conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator (no external clock required), delivering fixed 1.9–3µs conversion time and zero cycle latency.
Its dual-domain power system separates analog (VDD = 2.5V) and digital I/O (OVDD = 1.8V–5.25V) supplies, enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage host systems. Digital gain compression is controlled via the REF/DGC pin, dynamically remapping full-scale from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF–0.9×VREF without hardware modification.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF?
The LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation (C-grade). This is confirmed in the Order Information table, where "CDE" denotes the commercial temperature grade and DFN package. For extended ranges, consider LTC2376IDE-16#TRPBF (–40°C to 85°C) or LTC2376HMS-16#TRPBF (–40°C to 125°C).
Does the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF includes an internal oscillator that sets conversion timing - eliminating external clock dependencies. The tCONV specification (1.9–3µs) is internally generated, easing timing design and reducing BOM count. External SCK is only needed for serial data transfer, not for conversion initiation.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) work on the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF?
When the REF/DGC pin is pulled low, the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF enables DGC, digitally remapping zero-scale from 0V to 0.1×VREF and full-scale from VREF to 0.9×VREF. With VREF = 5V, this yields a usable input range of 0.5V to 4.5V - allowing the driving amplifier to operate from a single 5.5V supply without negative rails.
What package type is used for the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF?
The LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic DFN package measuring 4mm × 3mm with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 17). This package provides superior thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W) compared to the MSOP variant (θJA = 110°C/W) and is optimized for space-constrained, thermally demanding applications.
Can the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller?
Yes - the LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF supports 1.8V to 5V logic levels via its OVDD supply pin. When OVDD = 1.8V, VIH = 1.44V (0.8×OVDD) and VIL = 0.36V (0.2×OVDD), ensuring reliable communication with 1.8V MCUs without level-shifting circuitry. All digital pins (SCK, SDO, SDI/RDL, BUSY, CNV, CHAIN) comply with this voltage range.
