Product details
Overview
LTC2376IMS-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 analog supply and supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic, targeting high-precision data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2376IMS-16#PBF pinout, LTC2376IMS-16#PBF application, or LTC2376IMS-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, low 3.4mW power at full throughput, daisy-chain SPI interface, internal conversion clock, and –40°C to +85°C extended temperature rating in MSOP package.
Technical Context
The LTC2376IMS-16#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator, achieving zero-cycle latency and no pipeline delay. Its conversion timing is governed by an internal oscillator, eliminating external clock dependency.
Digital gain compression (DGC) maps the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF when REF/DGC is grounded-enabling rail-to-rail single-supply amplifier drive (e.g., LT6350 from +5.5V) while preserving full 16-bit resolution and 97dB SNR performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output levels with guaranteed no missing codes across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth without undersampling. |
| SNR | 97dB (typ, fIN = 2kHz, VREF = 5V) - enables >15.8 effective number of bits (ENOB) in high-fidelity measurement systems. |
| INL | ±0.5LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and linearity critical for closed-loop control and calibration applications. |
| Power Consumption | 3.4mW at 250ksps - allows battery-powered operation with <1.7mA total supply current (VDD + OVDD + IREF). |
| Input Range | ±VREF, VREF = 2.5V to 5.1V - provides flexible dynamic range scaling for sensor interfaces and programmable gain stages. |
| DGC Support | Enabled via REF/DGC pin grounded - reduces required analog driver headroom to 0.5V–4.5V (at VREF = 5V), eliminating negative supply need. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm), exposed pad not present (DFN variant has exposed pad; MSOP does not). Operating temperature range: –40°C to +85°C (I-grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CHAIN (1) | Mode selector | High enables daisy-chain SPI mode; low configures RDL/SDI as bus enable for standalone operation. |
| VDD (2) | Analog supply | 2.5V ±62.5mV supply for core ADC; requires 10µF ceramic bypass to GND for noise suppression. |
| IN+ / IN– (4,5) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±VREF fully differential signal; input capacitance 45pF in sample mode, 5pF in hold mode. |
| REF (7) | Reference voltage input | 2.5V–5.1V external reference; decoupled with 47µF X5R 0805 capacitor for stability. |
| REF/DGC (8) | Reference/DGC control | Tied to REF → standard ±VREF range; tied to GND → DGC active (0.1–0.9×VREF full-scale mapping). |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger | Rising edge initiates conversion and powers up ADC; auto-power-down resumes after completion. |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status | Active-high open-drain indicator; asserts at CNV↑, deasserts when 16-bit result is ready on SDO. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial interface control/data | In normal mode: bus enable; in chain mode: serial data input for cascaded ADC configurations. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock | Supports up to 100MHz SCK (10ns period); rising edge clocks out MSB-first 2's complement data on SDO. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | Tri-state output; driven only when RDL/SDI is low (normal) or during chain-mode readback. |
| OVDD (15) | I/O supply | 1.71V–5.25V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and drives SDO; bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No cycle latency | Immediate data availability after BUSY deassertion - eliminates pipeline stalls in deterministic real-time systems. |
| Digital gain compression (DGC) | Enables single-supply amplifier drive (e.g., LT6350 from +5.5V) without sacrificing ENOB or SNR performance. |
| Internal conversion clock | Removes requirement for external timing circuitry - simplifies PCB layout and improves jitter immunity. |
| Auto power-down | Reduces quiescent current to 0.9µA between conversions - scales power linearly with sampling rate for ultra-low-duty-cycle use. |
| SPI-compatible daisy-chain mode | Allows synchronous readout of multiple LTC2376IMS-16#PBF devices using one SCK/SCKCH line - reduces GPIO count in multi-channel systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF?
The LTC2376IMS-16#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 250ksps across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This rate is guaranteed with tCYC = 4µs and is enabled by its internal conversion clock and zero-cycle-latency architecture-no oversampling or interpolation is required to achieve full 16-bit resolution at this throughput.
Does the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF does not require an external clock source. It integrates an internal oscillator that sets the conversion time, ensuring consistent timing and eliminating jitter sensitivity from external clock distribution. The SCK pin is used solely for serial data transfer timing-not for conversion control-allowing flexible host interface clocking from 1.8V to 5V logic levels.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) function in the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF?
Digital Gain Compression (DGC) in the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF is activated by grounding the REF/DGC pin. It digitally remaps the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF, enabling the use of single-supply amplifiers (e.g., LT6350 from +5.5V) without loss of resolution or SNR. For VREF = 5V, this yields a usable input span of 0.5V to 4.5V-providing 0.5V headroom on both rails.
What package and temperature grade does the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF use?
The LTC2376IMS-16#PBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm) and is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). It features lead-free (Pb-free) finish and is RoHS compliant. Unlike the DFN variant, the MSOP version has no exposed thermal pad, relying on standard PCB copper for thermal management.
Can the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF be operated with a 3.3V I/O supply while using a 2.5V analog supply?
Yes, the LTC2376IMS-16#PBF supports independent analog and digital supplies: VDD = 2.5V (±62.5mV) for the ADC core, and OVDD = 1.71V to 5.25V for the SPI interface. With OVDD = 3.3V, VIH = 2.64V (0.8×OVDD) and VOL = 0.2V are compatible with standard 3.3V microcontrollers-enabling seamless integration without level shifters.
