Product details
Overview
LTC2377IDE-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–5.1V). It operates from a single 2.5V supply, consumes only 6.8mW at full speed, and features digital gain compression (DGC) to enable single-supply amplifier driving. It is used in high-speed data acquisition systems requiring precision, low power, and wide dynamic range.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2377IDE-16#PBF pinout, LTC2377IDE-16#PBF application, or LTC2377IDE-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility, internal conversion clock, −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, and DGC-enabled 0.5V–4.5V input range with 5V reference.
Technical Context
The LTC2377IDE-16#PBF 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 clock dependency, while auto power-down between conversions scales power dissipation with sampling rate.
Digital gain compression (DGC) is controlled via the REF/DGC pin: grounded enables 10%–90% full-scale mapping (e.g., 0.5V–4.5V for VREF = 5V), preserving 16-bit resolution without requiring negative supply for driver amplifiers. The SPI-compatible serial interface supports 1.8V–5V I/O logic and daisy-chain mode for multi-ADC synchronization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth with no throughput bottleneck. |
| SNR | 97dB (typ, fIN = 2kHz, VREF = 5V) - supports >15.8 effective bits (ENOB) for high-fidelity signal digitization. |
| INL | ±0.5LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control and metrology. |
| Power Consumption | 6.8mW at 500ksps - allows battery-powered portable instrumentation with minimal thermal impact. |
| Input Range | ±VREF fully differential (2.5V–5.1V) - accommodates flexible signal conditioning topologies and wide dynamic range inputs. |
| DGC Function | Enabled by grounding REF/DGC - shifts full-scale to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF, enabling single 5.5V-supply amplifier operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CHAIN | Chain mode selector | Low = normal SPI mode (RDL/SDI = bus enable); high = daisy-chain mode (RDL/SDI = serial data input). |
| 2 - VDD | Analog core supply | 2.375V–2.625V supply powering SAR core and reference buffer; requires 10µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| 4,5 - IN+, IN− | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±VREF swing; input capacitance 45pF (sample), 5pF (hold); common-mode range = VREF/2 ± 0.1V. |
| 7 - REF | Reference voltage input | 2.5V–5.1V external reference; decoupled with 47µF X5R ceramic capacitor at pin. |
| 8 - REF/DGC | DGC enable/control | Tied to GND enables digital gain compression; tied to REF disables DGC and restores full ±VREF range. |
| 9 - CNV | Convert trigger | Rising edge initiates conversion and powers up ADC; no external timing circuitry required due to internal oscillator. |
| 11 - BUSY | Conversion status indicator | High during conversion; low when result ready on SDO - enables precise timing of data reads without polling. |
| 12 - RDL/SDI | Mode-dependent I/O | In normal mode: bus enable for SDO tri-state; in chain mode: serial data input from upstream ADC. |
| 13 - SCK | Serial clock input | Supports up to 100MHz clock (10ns period); MSB-first output on SDO synchronized to rising edge. |
| 14 - SDO | Serial data output | 2's complement 16-bit result; tri-state controlled by RDL in normal mode; driven in chain mode only after BUSY goes low. |
| 15 - OVDD | Digital I/O supply | 1.71V–5.25V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds; bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to GND. |
| 3,6,10,16 - GND | Analog/digital ground | Multiple dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce; exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF?
The LTC2377IDE-16#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is validated across all key specifications including INL (±0.5LSB max), SNR (97dB typ), and power consumption (6.8mW at 500ksps). The DFN package's exposed pad enhances thermal performance under sustained load.
Does the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF includes an internal oscillator that sets conversion timing, eliminating the need for an external clock. This simplifies system design and improves timing robustness. The SCK pin is used only for serial data transfer and supports up to 100MHz, independent of conversion timing.
How does Digital Gain Compression (DGC) work in the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF?
DGC in the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF is enabled by grounding the REF/DGC pin (Pin 8), which digitally remaps the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1×VREF to 0.9×VREF. For VREF = 5V, this yields a 0.5V–4.5V input window, allowing single-supply amplifiers like the LT6350 to drive the ADC without negative rails while preserving full 16-bit resolution.
Can the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF be used in daisy-chain configuration?
Yes, the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF supports daisy-chain mode via the CHAIN pin (Pin 1). When pulled high, RDL/SDI becomes a serial data input, and SDO outputs the concatenated results of multiple devices. This enables synchronized sampling across several LTC2377IDE-16#PBF units using a single CNV and SCK, reducing controller resource usage.
What is the absolute maximum input voltage on the IN+ and IN− pins of the LTC2377IDE-16#PBF?
The absolute maximum analog input voltage on IN+ and IN− is (GND – 0.05V) to (REF + 0.05V), per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table. Exceeding this range risks damage or latch-up. The recommended operating range is ±VREF differential with common-mode centered at VREF/2 ± 0.1V, ensuring optimal linearity and noise performance.
