Product details
Overview
LTC2376IDE-18#PBF 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, and fully differential ±VREF input range (2.5V to 5.1V reference). It operates from a single 2.5V analog supply and supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic, enabling high-precision data acquisition in compact, low-power systems such as portable instrumentation and industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2376IDE-18#PBF pinout, LTC2376IDE-18#PBF application, or LTC2376IDE-18#PBF 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 across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2376IDE-18#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 18-bit CDAC and differential comparator, achieving zero-cycle latency and no pipeline delay. Its conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator (tCONV = 1.9–3µs), eliminating external clock dependency.
It features dual power domains: VDD (2.375–2.625V) for analog core and OVDD (1.71–5.25V) for digital I/O, enabling flexible host interface voltage selection. The REF/DGC pin selects between full ±VREF input range (DGC disabled) or compressed 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF range (DGC enabled), preserving 18-bit resolution while relaxing driver amplifier supply requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit - delivers 262,144 distinct output codes with guaranteed no missing codes across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~125kHz Nyquist bandwidth without undersampling. |
| SNR | 102dB (typ, fIN = 2kHz, VREF = 5V) - corresponds to ~16.7 effective bits, supporting high-fidelity signal reconstruction. |
| INL | ±1.75LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity for precision measurement applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.4mW at 250ksps - enables battery-operated or thermally constrained designs without active cooling. |
| Digital Gain Compression | Enabled via REF/DGC = GND - maps input range to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF, allowing single 5.5V-supply amplifier drive. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments with full parametric performance over range. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND, must be soldered to PCB ground plane).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN– | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±VREF fully differential signal; input capacitance = 45pF (sample mode); common-mode range = VREF/2 ± 0.1V. |
| REF | Reference voltage input | Accepts 2.5V–5.1V external reference; requires 47µF X5R ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| REF/DGC | Reference/Digital Gain Compression control | Tied to REF → DGC disabled (full ±VREF range); tied to GND → DGC enabled (0.1–0.9×VREF range). |
| CNV | Convert trigger input | Rising edge initiates conversion and powers up ADC; no external timing circuitry required. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | High during conversion; transitions low when 18-bit result is ready for serial readout. |
| SDO, SCK, RDL/SDI, CHAIN | SPI-compatible serial interface | Supports 1.8V–5V logic levels; daisy-chain mode enabled when CHAIN = high; MSB-first 2's complement output. |
| VDD, OVDD, GND | Analog/digital power and ground | VDD = 2.5V ±62.5mV analog supply; OVDD sets I/O voltage level; multiple GND pins and exposed pad ensure low-noise grounding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No cycle latency | Delivers first valid conversion result immediately after CNV rising edge-no pipeline delay or initialization overhead. |
| Auto power-down | Reduces current to ≤0.9µA between conversions, scaling power with sampling rate (e.g., 3.4µW at 250sps). |
| Digital Gain Compression (DGC) | Eliminates need for negative supply on driving amplifier by digitally remapping full-scale range to 10–90% of VREF. |
| Internal conversion clock | Removes requirement for external timing source-simplifies layout and improves jitter immunity in noise-sensitive systems. |
| Wide reference range | Accepts 2.5V–5.1V reference voltage, enabling optimization of dynamic range and SNR for varying signal amplitudes. |
| Industrial temperature grade | Specified and tested from –40°C to +85°C with full performance guarantees on INL, SNR, THD, and timing parameters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7986BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 1MSPS, 12.5mW at full speed; requires external reference; no DGC; SPI-only (no daisy-chain). | Better throughput but higher power; lacks DGC and daisy-chain-less suitable for low-power multi-ADC systems. | Select when maximum sampling rate >250ksps is required and system can accommodate higher power and external ref design. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, 3.3V supply only; no DGC; internal reference option; SPI with daisy-chain support. | Lower resolution (16-bit), no DGC, but lower cost and smaller 3mm × 3mm WSON package. | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications where 16-bit resolution suffices and single-supply drive is not required. |
Compared with AD7986BCPZ-RL7 and ADS8860IDRCT, the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF uniquely balances ultra-low power (3.4mW), integrated DGC for simplified analog front-end design, and daisy-chain capability-making it optimal for industrial and portable systems demanding 18-bit fidelity with thermal and layout efficiency.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF?
The LTC2376IDE-18#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C and is fully specified across this industrial temperature range-including INL, SNR, THD, and timing parameters. This makes the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF suitable for deployment in factory automation, outdoor instrumentation, and other thermally variable environments without derating.
Does the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF integrates an internal oscillator that controls conversion timing, eliminating the need for an external clock. The tCONV specification (1.9–3µs) is internally generated and guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage, simplifying system timing design and reducing jitter sensitivity in the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF signal chain.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) work in the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF?
In the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF, DGC is activated by pulling the REF/DGC pin to GND. This configures the ADC to map zero-scale code to 0.1×VREF and full-scale code to 0.9×VREF, compressing the usable input range to 0.5V–4.5V (for VREF = 5V). The LTC2376IDE-18#PBF preserves full 18-bit resolution while enabling single-supply amplifier drive-e.g., LT6350 powered from +5.5V only.
What package type does the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF use, and how is thermal performance managed?
The LTC2376IDE-18#PBF uses a 16-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). This pad must be soldered directly to the PCB ground plane to achieve θJA = 40°C/W. Proper thermal land design ensures the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF maintains full performance at 3.4mW dissipation even in compact enclosures.
Can multiple LTC2376IDE-18#PBF devices be connected on a single SPI bus?
Yes-the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF supports daisy-chain mode via the CHAIN pin. When CHAIN = high, the RDL/SDI pin becomes a serial data input, allowing up to N devices to share one SPI bus (SCK, SDO, CNV, BUSY) with only one chip select line. This reduces FPGA/GPIO count and simplifies routing in multi-channel data acquisition systems using the LTC2376IDE-18#PBF.
