Product details
Overview
LTC2376CMS-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 3.4mW power consumption at full throughput. It operates from a single 2.5V analog supply and supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic, serving high-precision data acquisition in medical imaging and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF pinout, LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF application, or LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes performance, digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier interfacing, internal conversion clock, daisy-chain SPI interface, and operation up to 70°C in MSOP-16 package.
Technical Context
The LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a fully differential sampling switch network and 18-bit CDAC. Its conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator (no external clock required), delivering fixed 1.9–3µs conversion time and zero cycle latency.
It features dual-domain power supplies: 2.5V VDD for analog core and programmable OVDD (1.71–5.25V) for digital I/O, enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage host systems. The REF/DGC pin selects between standard ±VREF input range or DGC mode (0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF), eliminating need for negative supply in front-end amplifiers.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF?
The LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 250ksps with no pipeline delay or cycle latency. This is enabled by its internal conversion clock and charge-redistribution SAR architecture, allowing deterministic timing for real-time signal capture up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth. The specification is guaranteed over the full 0°C to 70°C operating range.
Does the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF support daisy-chain configuration?
Yes, the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF supports daisy-chain mode via the CHAIN pin (Pin 1). When CHAIN is high, the RDL/SDI pin functions as serial data input, allowing multiple LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF devices to share a single SPI bus. This eliminates the need for individual chip select lines and simplifies multi-channel system layout while maintaining 250ksps throughput per device.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) work in the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF?
In the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF, DGC is activated by grounding the REF/DGC pin (Pin 8). This remaps the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF–0.9×VREF (e.g., 0.5V–4.5V with 5V reference), enabling single-supply operation of driving amplifiers like the LT6350 from +5.5V. The ADC preserves full 18-bit resolution via internal digital scaling, eliminating need for negative rails without degrading ENOB.
What are the power supply requirements for the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF?
The LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF requires two independent supplies: VDD (2.375V–2.625V, typically 2.5V) for the analog core, and OVDD (1.71V–5.25V) for digital I/O. VDD must be bypassed with a 10µF ceramic capacitor, and REF requires a 47µF X5R capacitor. Total power is 3.4mW at 250ksps, dropping to 3.4µW at 250sps via automatic power-down.
Is the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2376 family?
Yes, the LTC2376CMS-18#TRPBF shares identical MSOP-16 pinout and functionality with all LTC2376x-18 variants (e.g., LTC2376IMS-18#TRPBF, LTC2376HMS-18#TRPBF), differing only in temperature grade and part marking. Electrical specifications including timing, INL, SNR, and interface behavior are consistent across grades - allowing direct substitution in existing designs when ambient temperature requirements align.
