Product details
Overview
LTC2380IDE-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 2 Msps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with fully differential ±VREF input, 96.2 dB SNR, ±0.6 LSB INL max, and digital gain compression (DGC) support. It operates from a 2.5 V supply, accepts reference voltages from 2.5 V to 5.1 V, and consumes only 19 mW at full throughput - enabling high-fidelity data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2380IDE-16#PBF pinout, LTC2380IDE-16#PBF application, or LTC2380IDE-16#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, daisy-chain SPI interface compatibility, internal conversion clock, -40°C to +85°C temperature range, and DGC-enabled single-supply amplifier drive capability.
Technical Context
The LTC2380IDE-16#PBF implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator, sampling input voltage during acquisition and executing binary-weighted comparisons against VREF/2, VREF/4, etc., with no pipeline delay or cycle latency. Its internal oscillator eliminates external clock dependency, and auto power-down reduces current to 0.9 µA between conversions.
Digital gain compression (DGC) remaps zero-scale from 0 V to 0.1·VREF and full-scale from VREF to 0.9·VREF, enabling rail-to-rail input swing on a single 5.5 V amplifier supply while preserving full 16-bit resolution. The device supports 1.8 V–5 V I/O logic via separate OVDD, and features daisy-chain mode via CHAIN and RDL/SDI pins for multi-ADC synchronization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output levels with guaranteed no missing codes across full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 2 Msps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 1 MHz Nyquist bandwidth without undersampling. |
| SNR | 96.2 dB (typ, fIN = 2 kHz, VREF = 5 V) - supports >15.7 effective number of bits (ENOB) for precision measurement systems. |
| INL | ±0.6 LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control feedback. |
| Power Consumption | 19 mW at 2 Msps - allows battery-powered operation with thermal budget headroom in compact enclosures. |
| Input Range | ±VREF, VREF = 2.5 V to 5.1 V - provides flexible dynamic range scaling without external gain stages. |
| DGC Support | Enabled by grounding REF/DGC pin - shifts usable input span to 0.1·VREF to 0.9·VREF, eliminating need for negative amplifier supply. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 17), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CHAIN) | Chain Mode Selector | High enables daisy-chain SPI mode; low configures RDL/SDI as bus enable for standalone operation. |
| 2 (VDD) | Analog Core Supply | 2.5 V ±62.5 mV supply for ADC core; requires 10 µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| 4,5 (IN+, IN–) | Differential Analog Inputs | Accept ±VREF fully differential signal; 45 pF input capacitance and 40 Ω switch resistance define acquisition settling behavior. |
| 7 (REF) | Reference Input | External reference voltage (2.5 V–5.1 V); decoupled with 47 µF X5R 0805 capacitor for noise immunity. |
| 8 (REF/DGC) | Reference/Digital Gain Compression Control | Tied to GND enables DGC (0.1·VREF–0.9·VREF input span); tied to REF disables DGC for 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 | Active-high open-drain output signaling conversion progress; used for timing synchronization in burst-mode acquisition. |
| 12 (RDL/SDI) | Serial Data Enable / Daisy-Chain Input | In normal mode: controls SDO tri-state; in chain mode: receives serial data from upstream ADC. |
| 13 (SCK) | Serial Clock Input | Accepts 100 MHz max clock (10 ns period); defines data shift timing for MSB-first SPI readout. |
| 14 (SDO) | Serial Data Output | 2's complement 16-bit output; driven only when RDL/SDI is low or in chain mode with upstream data ready. |
| 15 (OVDD) | I/O Interface Supply | 1.71 V–5.25 V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and powers digital interface independently of VDD. |
| 3,6,10,16,17 (GND) | Ground Terminals | Four dedicated GND pins plus exposed pad (Pin 17) - ensure low-impedance return path for analog, digital, and power domains. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5 Msps, 2.5 V supply, no DGC, LVDS interface, higher power (39 mW) | Higher resolution and speed but requires LVDS receiver and dual-supply driver; less suitable for single-supply portable systems | Select when ENOB >16.5 bits and system can accommodate LVDS interface and higher thermal load. |
| ADS8860IRGET | 16-bit, 1 Msps, 3 V supply, SPI interface, no DGC, lower power (11 mW), smaller 3 mm × 3 mm VQFN | Lower throughput and no DGC limits use with single-supply amplifiers; better fit for ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs | Select when 1 Msps suffices and board area or quiescent current is more critical than DGC flexibility. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF?
The LTC2380IDE-16#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables in the official datasheet, with all key parameters-including INL, SNR, and power consumption-guaranteed across this span.
Does the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF integrates an internal oscillator that sets the conversion time, eliminating the need for an external clock. This simplifies system design and avoids jitter-related SNR degradation. External timing is only required for the SPI interface (SCK), which supports up to 100 MHz.
How does digital gain compression (DGC) function in the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF?
In the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF, DGC is enabled by grounding the REF/DGC pin (Pin 8). This digitally remaps the full-scale input range from ±VREF to 0.1·VREF to 0.9·VREF - e.g., 0.5 V to 4.5 V with a 5 V reference - allowing single-supply amplifiers to drive the ADC without negative rails while retaining full 16-bit resolution.
What package type is used for the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF?
The LTC2380IDE-16#PBF uses a 16-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN package with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 17). This package is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and requires soldering the exposed pad directly to the PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and signal integrity.
Can the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF interface with 1.8 V microcontrollers?
Yes, the LTC2380IDE-16#PBF supports 1.8 V logic levels via its independent OVDD supply pin (Pin 15), which accepts 1.71 V to 5.25 V. When OVDD = 1.8 V, VIH and VIL thresholds are scaled to 0.8×OVDD and 0.2×OVDD respectively, ensuring reliable SPI communication with 1.8 V host processors.
