Product details
Overview
LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 250ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with ±1.75LSB INL max, 102dB SNR at 2kHz, fully differential ±VREF input (2.5V–5.1V), and digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier interfacing. It operates from a 2.5V analog supply and supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic, targeting high-precision data acquisition in medical imaging and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF pinout, LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF application, or LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes performance, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility, internal conversion clock, auto power-down (3.4µW at 250sps), and DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference.
Technical Context
The LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF implements a charge redistribution capacitor DAC (CDAC) architecture with differential comparator and 18-bit successive approximation logic. Conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator (1.9–3µs), eliminating external clock dependency and ensuring zero pipeline delay or cycle latency.
Its dual-supply design separates analog (VDD = 2.5V) and digital I/O (OVDD = 1.71–5.25V) domains, enabling mixed-voltage system integration. The REF/DGC pin selects between full ±VREF range (REF tied high) or compressed 10%–90% range (REF/DGC tied low), directly enabling single-supply driver operation without sacrificing resolution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit - delivers 262,144 discrete output levels with guaranteed no missing codes across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps - supports real-time acquisition of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 102dB (typ, fIN = 2kHz, VREF = 5V) - enables >16.9 effective bits (ENOB) in precision measurement systems. |
| INL | ±1.75LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity for calibration-critical applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.4mW at 250ksps - allows battery-powered operation with thermal budget headroom in compact enclosures. |

| Reference Range | 2.5V to 5.1V - supports flexible signal scaling while maintaining 38µV LSB size at 5V reference. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN– | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±VREF fully differential signal; input capacitance 45pF in sample mode; require low-impedance drive for <3.46µs settling. |
| REF | Reference voltage input | Defines full-scale range (2.5V–5.1V); decoupled with 47µF X5R ceramic capacitor at pin. |
| REF/DGC | Reference/Digital Gain Compression control | Tied to REF → full ±VREF range; tied to GND → DGC enabled (0.1–0.9×VREF mapping). |
| CNV | Convert trigger input | Rising edge initiates conversion and powers up ADC; asynchronous, no setup/hold required relative to SCK. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output signaling conversion in progress; used for timing synchronization. |
| SDO, SCK, RDL/SDI, CHAIN | SPI-compatible serial interface | Supports 1.8V–5V logic; daisy-chain mode enabled when CHAIN = high; MSB-first 2's complement output. |
| VDD, OVDD, GND | Power supplies | VDD = 2.5V ±62.5mV analog supply; OVDD = 1.71–5.25V I/O supply; multiple GND pins (including exposed pad) for noise isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No missing codes at 18 bits | Guaranteed over 0°C to 70°C operating range - eliminates code ambiguity in closed-loop control and metrology. |
| Digital Gain Compression (DGC) | Enables single-supply amplifier biasing (e.g., LT6350 from +5.5V) while preserving full 18-bit resolution and dynamic range. |
| Internal conversion clock | Removes need for external timing circuitry - simplifies layout and improves jitter immunity in noise-sensitive environments. |
| Auto power-down between conversions | Reduces current to 0.9µA typical during idle - scales linearly with sampling rate for ultra-low average power in burst-mode systems. |
| SPI daisy-chain mode | Allows synchronous readout of multiple LTC2376 devices using single SCK/SDO lines - reduces FPGA/GPIO count in multi-channel DAQ. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 18-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7986BCPZ-RL7 | 2MSPS, 18-bit SAR; higher speed but 4.5mW at full rate; no DGC; requires external reference buffer. | Better suited for high-throughput transient capture; less optimal for low-power, single-supply sensor interfaces. | Select when sampling rate >500ksps is required and system can accommodate higher power and external reference conditioning. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 1MSPS, 16-bit SAR; lower resolution; 1.5mW at 1MSPS; SPI-only interface; no DGC or daisy-chain mode. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, medium-precision applications where 16-bit resolution suffices. | Select for simpler, lower-cost designs where 16-bit ENOB and absence of DGC are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with AD7986BCPZ-RL7 and ADS8860IDRCT, the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF uniquely balances 250ksps throughput, 102dB SNR, DGC-enabled single-supply operation, and daisy-chain capability-making it optimal for portable, precision, multi-channel systems constrained by power and supply architecture.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF?
The LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). This matches its DFN package marking and orderable part suffix "CDE", distinguishing it from I-grade (–40°C to 85°C) and H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) variants. All electrical specifications in the datasheet labeled with "l" apply across this full range.
Does the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF require an external reference voltage source?
Yes, the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin, adjustable from 2.5V to 5.1V. It does not include an internal reference. A 47µF X5R ceramic capacitor must be placed directly at the REF pin for stability, and the reference source must supply up to 0.2mA at 250ksps.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) function in the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF?
In the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF, DGC is activated by grounding the REF/DGC pin. This remaps the ADC's full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF (e.g., 0.5V–4.5V with 5V reference), allowing driver amplifiers like the LT6350 to operate from a single +5.5V supply while retaining full 18-bit resolution and linearity.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF use?
The LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF uses a 16-lead, 4mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Its θJA is 40°C/W when the exposed pad is properly soldered to a PCB ground plane. This enables reliable operation at full 250ksps sampling rate without forced air cooling in compact enclosures.
Can the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller SPI bus?
Yes, the LTC2376CDE-18#TRPBF supports 1.8V logic levels via its OVDD supply pin. When OVDD = 1.8V, all digital inputs (CNV, SCK, CHAIN, RDL/SDI) recognize 0.2×OVDD (0.36V) as logic low and 0.8×OVDD (1.44V) as logic high, and digital outputs (SDO, BUSY) swing rail-to-rail - enabling direct, level-compatible connection to 1.8V host processors without translators.
