Product details
Overview
LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 500ksps 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 supply, consumes only 6.8mW at full speed, and features digital gain compression (DGC) for single-supply amplifier interfacing - used in high-speed data acquisition and medical imaging systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF pinout, LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF application, or LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 18-bit no-missing-codes performance, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility, internal conversion clock, operation up to 125°C (H-grade variant), and DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference.
Technical Context
The LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF implements a charge redistribution capacitor DAC (CDAC) architecture with differential comparator and 18-bit successive approximation logic. Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CNV, with no pipeline delay and fixed 1.5µs conversion time, enabling deterministic timing in real-time control loops.
Its digital gain compression (DGC) function remaps zero-scale from 0V to 0.1·VREF and full-scale from VREF to 0.9·VREF, preserving full 18-bit resolution while allowing single-supply driver amplifiers - eliminating need for negative rails without sacrificing dynamic range or linearity.
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 | 500ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth with no cycle latency. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead MSOP (4.0mm × 3.0mm), exposed pad not present (DFN variant has exposed pad; MSOP does not).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CHAIN (1) | Mode selector | Low = normal SPI mode (RDL/SDI as bus enable); high = daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI as serial data input). |
| VDD (2) | Analog supply | 2.5V ±62.5mV supply for core ADC circuitry; requires 10µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| GND (3,6,10,16) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR in high-speed sampling. |
| IN+, IN– (4,5) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±VREF fully differential input; 45pF sampling capacitance and 40Ω switch RON define drive requirements. |
| REF (7) | Reference voltage input | 2.5V–5.1V external reference; decoupled with 47µF X5R ceramic capacitor for low-noise operation. |
| REF/DGC (8) | Reference/DGC control | Tied to REF → DGC disabled (±VREF range); tied to GND → DGC enabled (0.1–0.9·VREF range). |
| CNV (9) | Convert trigger | Rising-edge–initiated conversion; powers up ADC and starts acquisition phase with deterministic timing. |
| BUSY (11) | Status indicator | Active-high open-drain output signaling conversion progress; synchronizes host read timing. |
| RDL/SDI (12) | Serial interface control/data | Function depends on CHAIN state; enables SDO or accepts daisy-chain input data. |
| SCK (13) | Serial clock input | Supports up to 100MHz SCK (10ns period); controls MSB-first data shift-out timing on SDO. |
| SDO (14) | Serial data output | 2's complement 18-bit result; valid within 9.5ns of SCK↑ (CL = 20pF); supports daisy-chain readout. |
| OVDD (15) | Digital I/O supply | 1.71V–5.25V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and powers SPI interface independently of VDD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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, 11.5mW; no DGC; SPI-only (no daisy-chain); 2.5V–5V ref range. | Higher speed but higher power; lacks DGC for single-supply driver simplification. | Select when throughput >500ksps is required and dual-supply drivers are acceptable. |
| ADS8860IPWR | 16-bit, 1MSPS, 3.3mW; no DGC; 2.5V–5V ref; SPI with daisy-chain support. | Lower resolution (16-bit), lower power, same package footprint; no guaranteed no-missing-codes spec. | Select when 16-bit resolution suffices and ultra-low power (<3.3mW) is prioritized over 18-bit fidelity. |
Compared with AD7986BCPZ-RL7 and ADS8860IPWR, the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF uniquely balances 18-bit no-missing-codes integrity, DGC-enabled single-supply interface simplicity, and 6.8mW/500ksps efficiency - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally sensitive, or cost-sensitive high-precision systems where driver complexity must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF?
The LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 500ksps with no cycle latency. This is guaranteed across its operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C for the C-grade version denoted by 'CMS'), and the conversion time remains fixed at 1.5µs regardless of throughput setting - enabling precise timing predictability in real-time systems.
Does the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF support daisy-chain configuration?
Yes, the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF supports daisy-chain mode via the CHAIN pin (Pin 1). When CHAIN is high, the RDL/SDI pin functions as serial data input, allowing multiple LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF devices to share a single SPI bus. Data from each device shifts out sequentially on SDO, reducing GPIO count and simplifying multi-channel designs.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) work in the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF?
Digital Gain Compression (DGC) in the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF is enabled by grounding the REF/DGC pin (Pin 8). It digitally remaps the zero-scale code from 0V to 0.1·VREF and full-scale code from VREF to 0.9·VREF. With a 5V reference, this yields a usable input range of 0.5V to 4.5V - permitting single-supply amplifier operation while retaining full 18-bit resolution and linearity.
What is the supply voltage requirement for the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF?
The LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF requires two independent supplies: VDD = 2.375V to 2.625V (nominal 2.5V) for the analog core, and OVDD = 1.71V to 5.25V for the digital I/O interface. This separation allows interfacing with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V logic families without level shifters, while maintaining analog performance integrity.
Is the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC2377 family?
Yes, the LTC2377CMS-18#TRPBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all MSOP-packaged variants (e.g., LTC2377IMS-18#TRPBF, LTC2377HMS-18#TRPBF). Differences lie solely in temperature grade (0°C–70°C for CMS, –40°C–85°C for IMS, –40°C–125°C for HMS) and associated screening - enabling drop-in replacement during design iteration or qualification ramp-up.
