Product details
Overview
LTC2376CMS-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). Operating from a single 2.5V supply and consuming only 3.4mW, it delivers no missing codes at 16 bits and supports digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier interfacing - ideal for high-speed, low-power data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF pinout, LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF application, or LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes performance across temperature, SPI-compatible daisy-chain capability, internal conversion clock, DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference, and MSOP-16 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator, enabling precise binary-weighted voltage comparisons against VREF without pipeline latency. Its acquisition phase samples differential input voltage onto 45pF internal capacitors via 40Ω on-resistance switches, while conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator - eliminating external clock dependency.
Digital Gain Compression (DGC) is implemented via dedicated REF/DGC pin logic that re-maps zero-scale from 0V to 0.1·VREF and full-scale from VREF to 0.9·VREF, preserving 16-bit resolution while relaxing analog driver supply requirements. The device supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic levels via separate OVDD rail and features daisy-chain mode enabled by CHAIN pin assertion.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (5mm × 4.4mm), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN– | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±VREF fully differential signal; 45pF sampling capacitance and 40Ω switch resistance define settling behavior. |
| REF | Reference voltage input | Defines full-scale range; accepts 2.5V–5.1V; requires 47µF X5R ceramic decoupling at pin. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ | 18-bit, 5Msps, 2.5V supply, LVDS interface, no DGC, higher power (39mW) | Higher resolution/speed but requires LVDS FPGA interface and dual supplies; unsuitable for low-power or single-supply amplifier designs | Select when >16-bit resolution and >1Msps throughput are mandatory; avoid if DGC or <5mW power is required. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF?
The LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation. It is the commercial-grade variant in the LTC2376-16 family, packaged in a 16-lead MSOP. This range supports use in indoor industrial equipment, laboratory instruments, and consumer-grade portable devices where extended temperature grades (e.g., I- or H-grade) are not required. The LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF maintains all key specifications - including ±0.5LSB INL and 97dB SNR - across this full range.
Does the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF require an external clock for conversion timing?
No, the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF does not require an external clock. It integrates an internal oscillator that sets the conversion time (1.9–3µs), eliminating timing dependencies on external sources and reducing system-level jitter sensitivity. The CNV rising edge initiates conversion autonomously, and BUSY indicates completion. External clocks are only used for the SPI interface (SCK), which operates independently of the conversion engine.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) work on the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF?
Digital Gain Compression (DGC) on the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF is activated by grounding the REF/DGC pin. This remaps the zero-scale code from 0V to 0.1·VREF and full-scale code from VREF to 0.9·VREF - effectively compressing the usable input range to 10%–90% of the ±VREF span. With a 5V reference, the input becomes 0.5V–4.5V, enabling single-supply amplifier operation (e.g., LT6350 from +5.5V) without negative rails while preserving full 16-bit resolution.
Can the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF be used in daisy-chain configurations?
Yes, the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF supports daisy-chain mode via the CHAIN pin (Pin 1). When CHAIN is driven HIGH, the RDL/SDI pin functions as serial data input, allowing multiple LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF devices to share a single SCK and BUSY line. Conversion results shift out sequentially on SDO, enabling synchronized multi-channel sampling with minimal GPIO usage - ideal for compact data acquisition systems.
What decoupling is required for the REF pin on the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF?
The REF pin of the LTC2376CMS-16#TRPBF requires a 47µF X5R ceramic capacitor (0805 size) placed as close as possible to the pin, plus optional local 0.1µF ceramic for high-frequency suppression. This large bulk capacitance stabilizes the reference during high-current acquisition transients, preventing code errors and SNR degradation. The datasheet specifies this configuration as mandatory for achieving guaranteed 97dB SNR and ±0.5LSB INL performance.
