Product details
Overview
LTC2376IMS-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) to enable single-supply amplifier driving - ideal for high-precision, low-power data acquisition in compact instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF pinout, LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF application, or LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C, SPI-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain mode, internal conversion clock, 1.8V–5V I/O voltage support, and DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference.
Technical Context
The LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator, achieving no pipeline delay and zero cycle latency. Its internal oscillator eliminates external timing dependencies, while auto power-down between conversions scales dissipation with sampling rate - 3.4µW at 250sps.
Digital gain compression (DGC) is controlled via the REF/DGC pin: grounded enables 10%–90% full-scale mapping (e.g., 0.5V–4.5V with 5V VREF), preserving 16-bit resolution without requiring negative supply for input drivers. The ADC accepts fully differential inputs with ±VREF range and supports common-mode voltages from VREF/2 ± 0.1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees 65,536 discrete output levels with no missing codes across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 97dB (typ, fIN = 2kHz, VREF = 5V) - supports >15.8 effective bits (ENOB) in precision measurement. |
| INL | ±0.5LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity for calibration-critical systems. |
| Power Consumption | 3.4mW at 250ksps - allows battery-powered operation with thermal headroom in MSOP package. |
| Input Range | ±VREF (2.5V–5.1V) fully differential - accommodates wide dynamic signal swings without external scaling. |
| DGC Support | Enabled by grounding REF/DGC - shifts usable input span to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF, enabling single 5.5V-supply driver amplifiers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (5.0mm × 4.4mm × 1.1mm), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Exposed pad not present in MSOP variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CHAIN (1) | Mode selector | Low = normal SPI mode (RDL/SDI = bus enable); high = daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI = serial data input). |
| VDD (2) | Analog supply | 2.375V–2.625V core supply; bypass with 10µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| GND (3,6,10,16) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR. |
| IN+, IN– (4,5) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±VREF swing; input capacitance 45pF (sample), 5pF (hold); require low-impedance drive for settling. |
| REF (7) | Reference voltage input | 2.5V–5.1V external reference; decouple with 47µF X5R ceramic (0805) close to pin. |
| REF/DGC (8) | DGC control / reference bias | Tied to GND enables digital gain compression; tied to REF disables DGC for full ±VREF range. |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger | Rising edge initiates conversion and powers up ADC; asynchronous, no minimum pulse width required. |
| BUSY (11) | Conversion status | Active-high open-drain indicator; asserts at CNV↑, deasserts when 16-bit result ready on SDO. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial interface control/data | Function depends on CHAIN state; in chain mode, receives MSB-first data from upstream ADC. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Supports up to 100MHz (10ns period); rising edge clocks data out on SDO or in on RDL/SDI. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | 2's complement format; outputs 16-bit result MSB first; tri-state when RDL = low in normal mode. |
| OVDD (15) | I/O supply | 1.71V–5.25V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No missing codes at 16 bits | Guaranteed monotonic transfer function over full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), eliminating code ambiguity in closed-loop control. |
| Digital Gain Compression (DGC) | Enables 0.5V–4.5V input span with 5V reference, allowing single-supply op-amps (e.g., LT6350) without negative rail - reduces BOM count and PCB area. |
| Internal conversion clock | Eliminates need for external timing circuitry; simplifies layout and improves jitter immunity versus crystal-based clocks. |
| 1.8V–5V I/O compatibility | Supports direct interfacing to diverse host processors (ARM Cortex-M, FPGA, DSP) without level shifters - lowers system cost and complexity. |
| Auto power-down between conversions | Reduces current to 0.9µA typical during idle periods; power scales linearly with sample rate - critical for duty-cycled sensor nodes. |

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, requires external reference and separate analog/digital supplies; no DGC; higher power (43mW at 5MSPS). | Targeted at ultra-high-resolution, high-throughput applications (e.g., spectral analysis), not low-power portable use. | Select when ENOB >16.5 bits and sampling >1MSPS is mandatory; avoid if DGC or sub-5mW operation is required. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, SPI interface, but only 1.8V supply, no DGC, and ±2.048V fixed reference range (no VREF flexibility). | Optimized for low-voltage, high-speed data loggers with fixed reference; lacks differential input common-mode flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-supply 1.8V systems where ±VREF programmability and DGC are unnecessary. |
Compared with AD7960BCPZ-RL7 and ADS8860IDRCT, the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF uniquely balances 16-bit integrity, 250ksps speed, 3.4mW power, ±VREF flexibility, and DGC - making it optimal for portable, battery-constrained, and single-supply signal chains where precision and efficiency coexist.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF?
The LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade). This is confirmed in the Order Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet, and applies to all electrical and timing specifications unless otherwise noted. The "I" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this temperature grade.
Does the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF support daisy-chaining with other ADCs?
Yes, the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF supports daisy-chaining via its CHAIN pin (Pin 1) and RDL/SDI pin (Pin 12). When CHAIN is high, RDL/SDI functions as a serial data input, accepting MSB-first data from an upstream ADC in the chain. The SDO output then relays the combined data stream, enabling synchronized multi-channel acquisition with minimal host interface resources.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) affect the input voltage range of the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF?
When DGC is enabled (REF/DGC pin tied to GND), the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF maps zero-scale to 0.1×VREF and full-scale to 0.9×VREF. With a 5V reference, this yields a usable input range of 0.5V to 4.5V - providing 0.5V headroom at both rails. This allows driving amplifiers (e.g., LT6350) to operate from a single 5.5V supply instead of requiring ±5V rails, simplifying power design.
What is the maximum sampling frequency and corresponding conversion time for the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF?
The LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF achieves a maximum sampling frequency of 250ksps, with a guaranteed conversion time (tCONV) of 1.9µs to 3.0µs over temperature. Its no-latency architecture means the BUSY signal deasserts precisely when the 16-bit result is ready on SDO, enabling immediate readout without pipeline delays - critical for real-time control loops.
Which package type does the LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The LTC2376IMS-16#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package (5.0mm × 4.4mm × 1.1mm body size). It features gull-wing leads, no exposed thermal pad, and is qualified for surface-mount reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. The "MS" in the part number explicitly identifies this MSOP variant, distinct from the DFN (DE) package offered in other versions like LTC2376CDE-16#TRPBF.
