Product details
Overview
LTC2377CDE-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 500ksps 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 to 5.1V reference). It operates from a single 2.5V supply, consumes 6.8mW at full speed, and features digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier interfacing. It is used in high-speed data acquisition systems requiring precision, low power, and thermal stability up to 70°C.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2377CDE-16#PBF pinout, LTC2377CDE-16#PBF application, or LTC2377CDE-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface, internal conversion clock, DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference, and 4mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LTC2377CDE-16#PBF implements a charge redistribution capacitor DAC (CDAC) architecture with differential comparator and 16-bit successive approximation logic. Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV, with no pipeline delay and fixed 1.5µs conversion time set by an internal oscillator.
It supports two operating modes via the CHAIN pin: normal mode (RDL/SDI as bus enable) and daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI as serial data input). The REF/DGC pin selects between full ±VREF range (REF tied) or DGC-compressed 10%–90% range (GND tied), enabling single-supply driver amplifiers without sacrificing resolution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function and no missing codes across full temperature range (0°C to 70°C). |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth with no cycle latency. |
| SNR | 97dB (typ, fIN = 2kHz, VREF = 5V) - delivers >15.8 effective bits for high-fidelity signal digitization. |
| INL | ±0.5LSB (max) - ensures accurate end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control and calibration systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 6.8mW at 500ksps - allows battery-powered or thermally constrained instrumentation without active cooling. |
| Digital I/O Voltage | 1.8V to 5V - supports direct interfacing with FPGA, microcontroller, or ASIC I/O domains without level shifters. |
| Reference Range | 2.5V to 5.1V - permits flexible system-level scaling (e.g., 5V ref yields 152µV LSB; 2.5V ref halves noise floor impact). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed ground pad (Pin 17), RoHS-compliant, rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (CHAIN) | Chain Mode Selector | High enables daisy-chain SPI mode; low configures RDL/SDI as bus-enable input for standalone operation. |
| Pin 2 (VDD) | Analog Core Supply | 2.5V ±62.5mV supply; requires 10µF ceramic bypass to GND for stable SAR conversion performance. |
| Pins 3, 6, 10, 16 (GND) | Analog/Digital Ground | Multiple ground pins minimize ground bounce; exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise integrity. |
| Pins 4, 5 (IN+, IN–) | Differential Analog Inputs | Accept ±VREF input range; 45pF sampling capacitance + 40Ω switch resistance defines acquisition settling behavior. |
| Pin 7 (REF) | Reference Input | 2.5V–5.1V external reference; requires 47µF X5R ceramic decoupling close to pin for low-noise ADC operation. |
| Pin 8 (REF/DGC) | Digital Gain Compression Control | Tied to GND enables DGC (0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF input range); tied to REF disables DGC for full ±VREF range. |
| Pin 9 (CNV) | Convert Trigger | Rising-edge–sensitive; initiates acquisition and conversion; powers up device from auto-power-down state. |
| Pin 11 (BUSY) | Conversion Status Indicator | Active-high open-drain output; asserts during conversion, clears when 16-bit result is ready on SDO. |
| Pin 12 (RDL/SDI) | Serial Interface Control/Data In | In normal mode: bus enable; in chain mode: serial data input for cascaded ADC configurations. |
| Pin 13 (SCK) | Serial Clock Input | Supports up to 100MHz clock (10ns period); controls timing of SDO data output and SDI sampling. |
| Pin 14 (SDO) | Serial Data Output | 2's complement format, MSB-first; valid within 9.5ns of SCK↑; compatible with 1.8V–5V host logic levels. |
| Pin 15 (OVDD) | I/O Interface Supply | 1.71V–5.25V digital supply; sets logic thresholds for all digital pins; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Digital Gain Compression (DGC) | Enables single 5.5V supply for driving amplifiers by mapping full-scale input to 0.5V–4.5V (with 5V ref), eliminating need for negative rail. |
| No Missing Codes Guarantee | Ensures monotonicity across full 16-bit range at 0°C to 70°C - essential for position feedback, sensor linearization, and metrology. |
| Internal Conversion Clock | Removes external clock source dependency and jitter sensitivity; fixes tCONV at 1.5µs for deterministic timing in real-time systems. |
| Auto Power-Down | Reduces current to ≤0.9µA between conversions - cuts average power by >99% at low sample rates (e.g., 500sps → 6.8µW). |
| SPI Daisy-Chain Mode | Allows synchronous readout of multiple LTC2377 devices using one SCK/SDO pair - simplifies multi-channel PCB layout and firmware. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5Msps, 2.5V supply, no DGC, LVDS interface, higher power (43mW), larger 40-lead LFCSP package. | Targeted at ultra-high-resolution imaging or spectral analysis where speed and bit depth outweigh power and interface constraints. | Select AD7960BCPZ-RL7 only if >16-bit resolution and >500ksps throughput are mandatory; not drop-in due to interface, power, and layout incompatibility. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, 2.5–5V supply, SPI interface, no DGC, 10mW at 1MSPS, 10-lead VSSOP package. | Optimized for compact, cost-sensitive portable instruments where 1MSPS is needed but DGC and thermal grade are secondary. | Choose ADS8860IDRCT for higher speed in space-constrained designs; LTC2377CDE-16#PBF remains preferred for DGC, lower power at 500ksps, and extended temp support. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF?
The LTC2377CDE-16#PBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation. This "C-grade" temperature range is validated per the datasheet's absolute maximum and electrical characteristics tables, and applies specifically to the DFN package variant marked "CDE". It is distinct from the I-grade (–40°C to 85°C) and H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) versions.
Does the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF uses an internal oscillator to set conversion timing, eliminating the need for an external clock. Its fixed 1.5µs conversion time (tCONV) and deterministic 2µs minimum cycle time (tCYC) simplify system timing design and reduce jitter sensitivity compared to externally clocked ADCs.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) work in the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF?
In the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF, DGC is enabled by grounding the REF/DGC pin (Pin 8). This remaps the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF - e.g., 0.5V to 4.5V with a 5V reference - allowing single-supply amplifiers like the LT6350 to drive the ADC without a negative rail while retaining full 16-bit code utilization.
What package type and pin count does the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF use?
The LTC2377CDE-16#PBF uses a 16-lead plastic DFN package measuring 4mm × 3mm with an exposed ground pad (Pin 17). This compact, thermally efficient package is distinct from the MSOP variant and is optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and industrial equipment.
Is the LTC2377CDE-16#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC2377-16 family?
Yes - all LTC2377-16 variants (CDE, IDE, HMS, CMS, IMS) share identical pinouts and footprints across DFN and MSOP packages. The LTC2377CDE-16#PBF is mechanically and electrically pin-compatible with LTC2377IDE-16#PBF and LTC2377HMS-16#PBF, enabling drop-in replacement for temperature grade upgrades without PCB changes.
