Product details
Overview
LTC2376IDE-16#PBF 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, fully differential ±VREF input (2.5V–5.1V), and digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier interfacing. It operates from a 2.5V VDD supply and consumes only 3.4mW at full throughput, targeting high-speed data acquisition in industrial and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2376IDE-16#PBF pinout, LTC2376IDE-16#PBF application, or LTC2376IDE-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility across 1.8V–5V logic levels, internal conversion clock, −40°C to +85°C temperature range, and DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference.
Technical Context
The LTC2376IDE-16#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator, supporting zero-cycle-latency conversions via internal oscillator timing. Its fully differential input stage accepts ±VREF signals with 34MHz −3dB bandwidth and 4ps aperture jitter, enabling accurate digitization of fast transient or high-frequency analog waveforms.
Digital gain compression (DGC) is controlled by the REF/DGC pin: when grounded, it remaps the ADC's full-scale range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF (e.g., 0.5V–4.5V at VREF = 5V), eliminating need for negative supply on driving amplifiers while preserving 16-bit resolution and linearity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-power SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5Msps, 2.5V supply, no DGC, SPI-only (no daisy-chain), higher power (47mW) | Targets ultra-high-resolution applications (>16-bit) where speed justifies increased power and board area | Select AD7960BCPZ-RL7 only when 18-bit resolution and 5Msps throughput are required; not drop-in due to different pinout, higher supply current, and absence of DGC |
| ADS8860IRGET | 16-bit, 1MSPS, 2.5–5V supply, no DGC, pseudo-differential input, lower SNR (92dB), smaller 3mm × 3mm QFN | Suitable for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where 1MSPS and moderate SNR suffice | Choose ADS8860IRGET for higher sample rates in compact layouts but accept trade-offs in SNR, differential input capability, and DGC functionality |
Compared with AD7960BCPZ-RL7 and ADS8860IRGET, the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF uniquely balances 250ksps speed, 97dB SNR, DGC-enabled single-supply drive, and −40°C to +85°C operation in a thermally optimized DFN package-making it optimal for industrial and portable instrumentation where power, precision, and interface flexibility are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF?
The LTC2376IDE-16#PBF is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C (I-grade), verified across all electrical specifications including INL, SNR, and power consumption. This range supports deployment in industrial control cabinets, outdoor test gear, and medical portable devices without derating.
Does the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF features an internal oscillator that sets conversion timing, eliminating need for external clock generation. The internal clock ensures consistent 250ksps throughput and removes timing jitter concerns associated with external clock distribution-critical for repeatable FFT performance.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) function in the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF?
Digital Gain Compression (DGC) in the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF is activated by grounding the REF/DGC pin (Pin 8), which digitally remaps the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF. For VREF = 5V, this yields a 0.5V–4.5V input span-allowing use of single-supply amplifiers like the LT6350 without negative rails while retaining full 16-bit resolution.
Can the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF supports 1.8V logic levels via its OVDD supply (Pin 15), which accepts 1.71V–5.25V. When OVDD = 1.8V, all digital I/O pins (SCK, SDO, SDI/RDL, BUSY, CNV, CHAIN) operate at 1.8V-compatible voltage thresholds, enabling direct connection to 1.8V FPGAs or MCUs without level shifters.
What package type is used for the LTC2376IDE-16#PBF?
The LTC2376IDE-16#PBF uses a 16-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). This package offers θJA = 40°C/W and requires soldering the exposed pad to the PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and signal integrity-distinct from the MSOP variant (e.g., LTC2376IMS-16#PBF).
